There are thousands of villagers in Xinjiadian, and it is the largest village outside Yanjin City. The village roads are criss-crossed, and it is easy to get lost if you are not familiar with the environment.
Gao Mantang was sitting in the first car, and Ma Keming asked: "What's the closest way?"
Gao Mantang pointed to the path on the left and said, "You can go directly to the village office without taking a detour from here."
Following his guidance, the convoy drove in one after another.
Jiang Xinyu's car was sandwiched in the middle. Sun Jie sat in the car and said: "Captain, the Intelligence Department has been investigating the case of the US military warehouse for more than half a month and there are no clues. How did you think it was the Boxer Society?"
"Blind Meng." Jiang Xinyu uttered two words softly.
"Blind? Are you kidding me?" Sun Jie was a little unconvinced.
In fact, Jiang Xinyu was indeed blind to being able to solve the theft case of the US military warehouse!
He deliberately wanted to bring bad luck to the Boxer Rebellion, so he sent Ma Keming to secretly monitor the situation, and accidentally discovered that one of Hong Xiazi's subordinates was secretly sending money to Peking.
After investigation, it was revealed that the person receiving the money turned out to be Yuan Fu, who had been missing for a long time. At this point, the US military warehouse theft case finally came to light.
This time, there is even more reason to eradicate the Boxer Society completely. Taking advantage of the Boxer Society gathering to share the spoils, we can capture these scum in one fell swoop!
In Shizi Hutong, Jiang Xinyu shot and wounded Mr. Hong, forced him to find out the whereabouts of the goods, and passed the news to the underground party members according to the pre-agreed method!
This is purely a incidental matter. On the premise that it has no impact on the potential, it would be best to use this batch of materials for one's own use.
The car in front stopped, and Jiang Xinyu said: "Go and see what's going on!"
"Yes." Sun Jie opened the door and got out of the car.
After a while, Sun Jie walked back quickly, and Gao Mantang followed behind him with his head drooped.
"Captain, there is a puddle ahead, and Team Leader Ma's car got stuck in it," Sun Jie said.
Jiang Xinyu said to Gao Mantang: "You are serious, right? You know the road is not easy to walk, so you brought us here."
Gao Mantang said with a grimace: "Maybe it rained too much the past two days... Captain Jiang, I didn't mean it."
The convoy returned the same way, one car after another backed out, and several agents worked together to push out the stuck car.
The ditch was an unexpected situation and was not part of Jiang Xinyu's plan. This back and forth was equivalent to giving the underground party time to retreat.
Ten minutes later, the motorcade stopped at the roadside of the village office. Jiang Xinyu got out of the car and ordered: "Everyone get out of the car!"
Gao Mantang said to Ma Keming: "Sir, the fifth family is..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Lead the way!" Ma Keming said impatiently.
The Gao family has two upper rooms and a side room, with stone courtyard walls and wooden wooden doors painted with red paint. From a distance, it looks like a wealthy family.
Gao Mantang's father was sitting in front of the door, smoking a cigarette. Hearing footsteps, he asked, "Who is it?"
"Dad, it's me." Gao Mantang replied.
"Mantang is back, haven't you eaten? There is food and vegetables at home. I'll heat them up for you." Gao Mantang's father stood up and fumbled for his cane.
Gao Mantang came to the door of the wing and said loudly: "San'er, Degui, come out!"
No one answered in the room.
Gao Mantang reached out and pushed open the door. He looked at the scene inside the room with a surprised and uncertain expression on his face. He turned around and said, "Dad, where are they?"
"Who? Oh, your two friends are gone!"
"Gone? Where did they go?"
"How did I know? It seems that many people came and moved all the goods away."
"Did they say anything?"
"Degui asked me to tell you that if you have the opportunity in the future, go to Qingdao to find them. Mantang, listen to my father's advice and just calm down. Why are you going to Qingdao? Yanjin can't accommodate you?" Gao Mantang's father said nonchalantly.
.
Jiang Xinyu waved his hand, and the agents searched each room one by one.
"Why are there so many people here? Are they all your friends?" Gao Mantang's father said in surprise as he heard the chaotic footsteps.
Gao Mantang whispered: "Dad, please stop saying a word..."
The wing room had thick curtains, two beds, two chairs, and a small square table. There were unfinished meals on the table. The bedding on the bed was messy and piled casually in a corner.
Gao Mantang swallowed his saliva, came closer to Jiang Xinyu, and said: "Captain Jiang, that batch of goods was originally in the side room, covered with tarpaulin, and now the tarpaulin is gone..."
Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment, turned around and said to Gao Mantang's father: "Old man, how long have those people been gone?"
The old man thought for a moment and said: "I estimate that it has been almost an hour..."
Ma Keming on the side said: "Did you remember wrongly, it was an hour ago?"
The old man said stubbornly: "You can't be wrong!"
Gao Mantang explained: "My father has bad eyesight and relies on mental arithmetic to remember time. He never misses anything."
Ma Keming said with great confusion: "How is this possible... Is it possible that two legs can run faster than four wheels?"
Jiang Xinyu loudly ordered: "Search carefully and don't miss any details!"
After a while, a special agent came over with a feather and said: "Captain, this was found in the wing room."
Jiang Xinyu looked around, called Gao Mantang over, and said, "Do you raise chickens and ducks at home?"
Gao Mantang said: "My father has bad eyesight. It's good if he can take care of himself. How can he take care of others."
"What kind of hair is this?"
"It's weird, it seems like it's really a duck..."
"It's pigeon feathers!" Sun Jie only took one look and immediately made a judgment. He raised many pigeons at home and was very familiar with this kind of feathers.
This feather had to be recognized by others before Jiang Xinyu could take the next step, so he brought Sun Jie, who was particularly familiar with pigeons, to Xinjiadian.
"Are you sure it's pigeon feathers?"
"Sure."
"Why did the pigeon appear in the wing..." Jiang Xinyu said to himself.
An idea flashed in Sun Jie's mind and he said: "Captain, I understand!"
Jiang Xinyu said: "What do you understand?"
"The Boxer Religion was able to get the goods away in time because they used carrier pigeons to deliver messages, and this feather fell from the carrier pigeons!" Sun Jie said firmly.
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said, "It's no wonder!"
He came to Gao Mantang and said, "Do you know where they took the goods?"
"I don't know." Gao Mantang shook his head repeatedly.
"I now suspect that you just deliberately led the wrong way to buy your accomplices time to escape, right?" Jiang Xinyu said in a stern tone.
"No, no, no, even if you lend me the courage, I wouldn't dare. Ordinarily, Degui and the others wouldn't dare either. Who knows, maybe I took the wrong medicine..." Gao Mantang said incoherently.
"Gao Mantang, let me remind you that this time is different from the past. The mastermind is dead. If you plan to take the blame for others, you'd better think about it first!" Jiang Xinyu said lightly.
