Chapter 658: Courtyard 34
As luck would have it, a patrol team happened to pass by at that moment.
The cellar somewhat masked the screams, and the residents of Yard 95 were sound asleep and didn't hear anything unusual.
But the patrol team was particularly sensitive to such voices. After all, the country had just been liberated not long ago, and there were still some spies hiding among the masses, ready to deal a heavy blow to the country at any time.
Those who go down to the cellar in the middle of the night are usually not good people. They might be spies who do bad things.
As a result, all the residents of the courtyard who were still sleeping soundly were woken up.
Those night patrols who were eager to make a contribution could not wait for Yan Bugui, who lived at the door, to open the door, and directly jumped over the wall into Courtyard No. 95.
They had already reached the cellar door, and the two people inside were still unaware that they were surrounded by patrols.
The people outside, lying at the entrance of the cellar, could clearly hear that the woman inside was no longer as frightened as before.
There was anxiety in her tone.
"How is it? Is the injury serious? Can you still hold on? Let's go to the hospital now."
The man endured the pain and whispered, “We can’t go to the hospital now.
Keep your voice down, if someone gets up in the middle of the night and finds us here, we won’t be able to explain it.”
They had this conversation because they were afraid of being caught by their neighbors in the cellar in the middle of the night.
But to the patrol team, these evasive words, and the fact that they didn't dare to go to the hospital, meant that the man was definitely a spy.
The spy was injured and didn't dare to go to the hospital. He might be plotting something big.
Just like that, before the two people in the cellar could react, the patrol team outside had already been preparing for a major enemy attack, and even a suicide squad had been organized.
No one knew whether the people in the cellar had weapons, so the team members who rushed to the front were neither the only sons in their families nor had wives, children or elders to take care of.
If the situation wasn't urgent, the patrol members would probably have argued about who would be the suicide squad, but now time was running out and they could only make a rough decision.
Our team has always planned carefully before taking action. Although the situation is urgent, our preparations are very thorough.
Neighbors were ordered to remain silent and herded into the yard, where they were guarded by two armed patrolmen.
The patrol did this so they could later check whether any of these people were accomplices of the two men in the cellar.
Putting them all in the yard for monitoring allows for better centralized management.
Lin Sui wrapped himself tightly and wore a military coat on the outside.
When the patrolman called Lin Sui, he saw the sign "Martyr's Family" hanging on her door and was quite polite to her.
But who can guarantee that the children of martyrs will not betray them? So Lin Sui was also driven to the middle of the yard and watched along with the others.
Lin Sui was bored, so his mind was naturally restless, and he kept paying attention to the situation in the cellar.
Even though this was actually a misunderstanding and had nothing to do with the spies, the atmosphere on the patrol team was extremely tragic.
Due to the urgent situation, the members of the suicide squad had no time to write a suicide note, but each of them asked the people around them to convey a message to their families.
If Lin Sui had not been using his spiritual sense to observe the situation in the cellar, he would probably have been infected by their fearless attitude of facing death.
However, when you combine the situation inside and outside the cellar, the scene is extremely funny.
In the cellar, Yi Zhonghai handed a paper bag containing medicine to Qin Huairu with an expressionless and even somewhat indifferent look on his face.
"This is the powder that will grant you what you desire. It's up to you to decide when and how to use it.
That's all I can do for you.
If you have any problems in the future, don't look for me anymore, and I won't help you anymore. We are just neighbors in the same yard, you should understand what I mean."
Outside the cellar, the patrol team understood what was happening.
One person said in a low voice: "They are preparing for the next move. It seems they already have a target.
It seems this person wants to leave their organization, but I don’t know what he has done for these people before.”
Someone else continued in a low voice, "No matter what you've done to help them, even once, you're a sinner for the country. Don't be so soft-hearted.
Since they want to escape, they must be very confident in this operation and want to use their achievements to buy freedom. It seems that the situation below must be very dangerous."
In the cellar, Qin Huairu's face was full of sadness, and she didn't know whether she really had such deep feelings for Yi Zhonghai.
"Do you really want to give up the old days? Isn't it good for us to stay like this?
I had no choice that time before. You know the situation on my side. What else can I do?
So many years have passed between us, don't you have any feelings for us anymore?"
Outside the cellar, another patrolman speculated, "It turns out they've been lurking for a long time. It seems these two are the big fish tonight."
Once we catch him, we'll definitely be able to find more clues by following the clues. Be careful, we have to catch him alive."
In this way, although the two sides were completely on different channels, the content of their conversations was completely consistent.
At this point, all the preliminary preparations were completed.
The moment to make a contribution is right before your eyes, so what are you waiting for? Hurry up and rush down.
Several fully armed suicide squad members were on full alert. As one of them counted down "three, two, one", they quickly lifted the cellar lid and jumped in one after another.
The cellar was suddenly opened. The sudden noise frightened Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. They quickly separated as if by reflex and kept a long distance away from each other.
At the moment of separation, Yi Zhonghai used the dim light to see the appearance of the people coming down. He found that they were not the faces in the yard. He immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
In the cellar, only an old-fashioned kerosene lamp was lit, and the dim light cast a large shadow in the corner.
When Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu moved apart, this action was seen as a sign of escape by the patrol team members.
The patrol team's speed increased by another two points.
After they jumped down, they quickly rushed towards Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. Without listening to what they said, they tied their hands behind their backs and pressed them heavily to the ground, shouting, "Don't move!"
Following this order, the cold muzzles of guns were pressed against the foreheads of the two men at the same time.
The coolness of the metal penetrated their scalps, making Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu suddenly lose the courage to move.
At the same time, Yi Zhonghai let out a shrill scream.
One of the team members was quick-witted and picked up a rag nearby and stuffed it into his mouth, stopping his voice abruptly.
Qin Huairu was silent, her lips trembling.
What's going on?
I didn't know before that having an affair would alert the army and I would be caught at gunpoint.
Besides, we haven’t done anything today. Does the army have such omnipotence?
