"Well, your metaphor is very appropriate, but I think it's too early to tell who is the hunter and who is the prey, so I don't plan to blow up the building in such a hurry." Charles' stance was firm.
Guan Dehou was a little helpless. He knew that it was impossible to completely violate Charles's wishes, but no one could say what would happen if he went deep alone like this, not to mention that a group of people had already been killed before.
"What do you mean?" Guan Dehou asked.
Charles thought for a moment, then walked to the window and looked at the residential corridor in the distance: "Our people have recently been analyzing the crime trajectory of 'Player 0', and have made some gains so far. From these gains, it is best to stay put."
The plan, so... Mr. Guan, all we have to do now is wait."
wait?
Of course Guan Dehou has no objection, but how long do we have to wait?
"Wait? According to your estimate, how long will it take?"
Charles turned around and looked at Guan Dehou, with a slight displeasure on his face. He probably felt that Guan Dehou's constant questioning in front of his subordinates made him feel embarrassed.
Of course Guan Dehou knew it, but he wanted to be an annoying fool today so that he could feel at ease.
Charles also seemed to see through Guan Dehou's thoughts. He said: "It won't be long. When your Director Li arrives, we will start planning, so... now, Mr. Guan, you should let your people rest more."
, you should get familiar with the environment and food here as soon as possible. After all, I don’t want you to be acclimatized when it comes time for you to appear."
Haha, this foreigner! He still knows that he is not accustomed to the local environment?
Guan Dehou would not relax his vigilance against Charles just because he told him some weird stories on the plane. After all, the positions of both parties were there.
"Yes, sir, don't worry. When we are needed, we will charge forward." Guan Dehou said something nice and then saluted.
Charles didn't like this, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can follow Kaysen to rest. There is nothing you need to do here for the time being."
"yes!"
…
The room Kaisen arranged for Guan Dehou and others was not in the safe house, but in the top attic of the building next to the safe house.
When he arrived at the place, Guan Dehou looked at the beds in the attic and the soldiers who were cleaning. He frowned and said, "How long has no one lived in this place?"
Kaisen's face turned red, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I'm really sorry. We didn't expect that other reinforcements would come, so we couldn't prepare a better place for you. Now we can only feel sorry for you.
Stayed here."
Guan Dehou was very angry at Kaisen's incorrect answer. What he was angry about now was that this place was not suitable as a temporary base at all.
But he raised his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person, Guan Dehou smiled slightly: "No aggrievement, it is difficult for you to let a grown man like you arrange the accommodation. Thank you, we will clean it ourselves."
Kaisen nodded, and then said: "Well, as for the food, should we bring it to you, or should you go to the safe house to eat it?"
After hearing this, Guan Dehou looked back at the soldiers he had brought.
They were also looking at the environment here with indifferent faces. After hearing this, they all took out the dry food they brought with them from their bags and said, "We brought our own, so we won't bother you."
Kaisen was even more embarrassed when he saw this. He seemed to be very unaccustomed to dealing with people like Guan Dehou, so he said: "Then I won't disturb you, good night."
With that said, Kaisen went downstairs.
When the footsteps disappeared, one person complained: "Damn, these Americans are too damned! Even if it is a temporary arrangement, you can always go to the hotel and get a few rooms! Damn it! Bah!"
Guan Dehou frowned when he heard this: "Jingquan!"
At this shout, Hao Jingquan, who was still complaining, did not dare to speak.
An older man beside him said: "Captain, would you like me and Heizi to go out and investigate first at night?"
Guan Dehou said: "No rush, you put down all the equipment first and clean this place, and then I will have other arrangements."
"yes."
Although the space on the top floor of the attic is low, it is not difficult to fit a dozen people in. However, when it was first cleaned, it was filled with dust, which was a bit choking.
Guan Dehou walked to the attic window, pushed it open and walked out to see that the attic led directly to the rooftop.
After walking up to the rooftop, Guan Dehou discovered that the location here was basically the commanding heights in the area, and the surrounding buildings were all about the same height. With Guan Dehou and his skills, it was as easy as walking back and forth between these buildings.
But now Guan Dehou had no idea of parkour. He called Jing Quan and Lao Peng back, and then walked along the outer edge of the rooftop and said: "This is not a country. Asian faces like us will soon be beaten when we go to the streets."
Discovered, so...if you want to investigate, you can only go above these buildings."
Jing Quan was happy: "I'm good at this, Brother De. When I was in the military area, I went to all the high places!"
Guan Dehou glared at him and said, "It's all you can do, otherwise people would call you a monkey!"
Jing Quan laughed and didn't care at all.
Lao Peng was calm after all. He looked at the sky and said, "Brother De, look at the sky. I'm afraid it will rain at night. It's not safe with the people running around upstairs."
Before Guan Dehou could say anything, Jing Quan spoke first: "It's good to have rain! It's raining, so I'm careful not to scare anyone! It's just a cover for me!"
Hearing this, Lao Peng said: "I didn't mean that. I meant that this place is not
Military area, it is already very dangerous to go out at night. If it is still raining, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult for us to save you."
Jing Quan patted his chest and said to Guan De kindly: "Brother De, don't worry, I know it well. Just leave this investigation to me and I'll make sure it's done beautifully for you."
Guan Dehou looked at him and said: 'Why do these words sound so familiar? Did I say that?'
"Shut up, did I tell you to come out at night?"
Jing Quan was stunned: "Huh? Brother De, what you just said is..."
Guan Dehou sighed softly and said: "You guys... you have stayed in China for a long time and rarely go out so far. You don't even realize how dangerous it is now."
Jing Quan didn't understand and asked blankly: "Danger? Where is the danger? Isn't it just an arms dealer? We have many fights with drug dealers on the border."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Peng glared at him fiercely and said, "Jingquan!"
Jing Quan felt a little aggrieved: "I was right..."
Guan Dehou was quite angry at first, but when he saw Jing Quan's reaction, he suddenly lost his anger at all. Wasn't it because he had a simple mind that he fell in love with this guy in the first place?
Is it a good thing or a bad thing to have such a simple mind in a place like this...
After thinking about it, Guan Dehou said: "Let's put the investigation aside for the time being. After all, we are here to assist our friends in the United States this time, and our immediate leader is Charles, an authentic American, so... obey obediently.
Orders are infallible."
Jing Quan said "Oh" a little disappointed.
Lao Peng heard the foreign voice of Guan Dehou's words, and he asked tentatively: "Brother De, there have been many deployments of personnel from various divisions before, but there has never been a time when the assisted divisions were directly responsible for the reinforcements.
Why would Minister Chen hand us over to this Charles this time?"
Guan Dehou glanced at Lao Peng and said nothing.
Jing Quan also reacted and asked curiously: "Yes, Brother De, shouldn't our direct leader be Minister Chen this time? How could he become an American old man?"
Guan Dehou took a deep breath, took out a cigarette and handed one to Lao Peng and said, "What do you think?"
When Lao Peng took the cigarette, he took out a lighter and lit it for Guan Dehou. He didn't answer in a hurry, but thought about it carefully.
Although Jingquan was upright, he knew when not to interrupt, so he pushed back a little and began to pay attention to his surroundings.
"Judging from the order alone... We are here to help the United States capture the 'Player No. 0' this time, but such an order itself is a bit confusing..." Lao Peng took a puff of his cigarette and seemed distressed.
Guan Dehou asked with a smile: "Tell me, why can't you figure it out?"
Lao Peng said: "Brother De, look, is this 'Player 0' somewhat similar to the group from the 'Mysterious Code' more than ten years ago?"
Speaking of the mysterious code, Jing Quan was stunned: "What's the 'mysterious code'? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Guan Dehou said: "You were still in the third grade of junior high school at that time. Of course you didn't know."
"oh……"
"You keep talking."
Lao Peng was interrupted for a moment, and after reorganizing his thoughts, he continued: "In order to track down the 'mysterious code', a special department was established under the leadership of Interpol. This department was the prototype of our National Security Department, but I don't know what happened later.
The reason was almost revealed, but the organization suddenly terminated all investigation operations, disbanded the international joint investigation department at the time, and never mentioned the 'mysterious code'."
Guan Dehou nodded. On the one hand, he agreed with Lao Peng's view, and on the other hand, he admired his old subordinate's analytical ability.
But Jing Quan was completely confused: "Why?"
Lao Peng said: "I didn't know that, but not long after that, I was transferred to Beijing with Brother De. You should have heard from me what happened in the following years. Brother De and I handled many major cases together.
important case, and became one of the first batch of special agents in the China Division of the National Security Department."
Jing Quan nodded: "I heard you say this, but what does this have to do with 'Player No. 0'?"
Guan Dehou frowned: "Tsk, why do you have so many problems?"
Jing Quan grinned and stuck out his tongue, not daring to speak.
Lao Peng took another long puff of cigarette and said: "Although I don't know much about what this 'Player 0' did, I heard that he did the same thing as those mysterious codes back then. They all used a
Passes written with special underlying source code are rampant on the Internet. The blockchain encryption technology that was trumpeted in the past and said that it is theoretically impossible to crack is simply useless in front of this 'Player 0', so he is in the world.
He has committed so many crimes in various places, but the National Security Department has not been able to catch him once."
"Then doesn't it mean that his location has been determined this time?" Jing Quan still couldn't help but interjected.
But neither Lao Peng nor Guan Dehou glared at him.
Lao Peng said: "This is what I said is a bit confusing!"
Speaking of this, Guan Dehou already understood what Lao Peng meant.
But Jing Quan was still confused: "Ah? What do you mean?"
Lao Peng put out his cigarette and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I believe Brother De has already understood it, isn't it Brother De?"
Guan Dehou nodded.
Jing Quan was a little unhappy, and immediately asked Guan Dehou: "Hey! I didn't bring you like this, brother De, please explain it to me quickly! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep again!"
Guan Dehou was overjoyed: "What do you care about if you can't sleep? You're not a child anymore. If that doesn't work, I still have to coax you to sleep.
"
Jing Quan's face turned red when he heard this. He wanted to be angry but didn't dare. His little appearance looked very interesting.
Lao Peng laughed, took out another cigarette and lit it.
Guan Dehou sighed and stopped teasing Jingquan. He explained: "Actually, Lao Peng's meaning is very simple... Our country and the United States have been fighting a trade war in the past few years. It is a state of contention between dragon and tiger.
It is impossible for the other party to get involved in some possible interests at this time, so...theoretically, no matter how hard it is to crack the hard nut of 'Player 0', if the Americans find out that he is in their own country, it will never be possible.
Others share it…but what’s the reality?”
Jing Quan came back to his senses. He said "Oh" and then said: "Brother De means... The Americans actually don't want our people to come to help him, and they can't let our people come, but they just...
We called, is that what you meant?"
Hearing this, Guan Dehou and Lao Peng looked at each other, both of them feeling helpless.
Jing Quan was a little embarrassed. He chuckled and said, "Brother De, is that what you mean?"
Guan Dehou nodded: "Yeah, yeah, almost. Anyway, you have to be smarter this time! You are no longer a bachelor, and your wife is still waiting for you to return to China to marry her! Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Jingquan immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes!"
Upon seeing this, Guan Dehou rubbed Jingquan's head dotingly, and then said: "I guess the house is almost cleaned. Since they have arranged for us to rest, we will have a good sleep. When Shaoan arrives tomorrow morning, we can
Let’s take a look at what kind of medicine Americans are selling.”
"Well, but Brother De, I think we need to arrange for people to take turns to guard the posts." Lao Peng said.
Guan Dehou thought for a moment and then looked at Jing Quan: "I know you are still jet-lagged, what's the matter? It's up to you to arrange this sentry matter!"
Jing Quan was stunned: "Me? I have no problem. The key is, can they listen to me?"
Guan Dehou smiled: "You brat, didn't I make you a squad leader before I came here? Why do you still need me to take care of your subordinates?"
Jing Quan gave a silly smile: "Hey, no, no, no! Brother De, don't worry, we will definitely make arrangements."
"Well... the wind has picked up... it looks like it's really going to rain tonight." Guan Dehou put out his cigarette and looked up at the sky. The sky in this foreign country was terrifyingly gloomy.
Lao Peng also looked at Tiandao: "Yes... maybe it will rain heavily!"
…
At night, it rained heavily as Lao Peng had predicted.
Although the attic is old, it hasn't leaked yet. It's just a problem for a few young people in Jingquan. They all wear raincoats and each is responsible for a sentry point to keep watch for everyone.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the thunder could still be heard faintly.
Jing Quan stood in the shadows, eating sweets and quietly taking out his cell phone to look at his fiancée's photos.
As soon as he sees the photo of his lover, Jing Quan feels hot in his heart and no longer feels cold.
But before he even put away his cell phone, he heard some discordant sounds mixed in the rain curtain.
He immediately put away his cell phone alertly and took out a pistol.
After carefully distinguishing it, Jing Quan was sure that it was footsteps, and there were more than one.
‘Someone touched it?’ Jingquan reacted and immediately sent a warning signal to another sentry point, and at the same time quietly retreated into the room.
As soon as he entered the room, Jing Quan found that everyone had already gotten up.
When Guan Dehou saw Jing Quan, he immediately made a gesture of silence.
Jingquan understood and quietly conveyed the message with gestures.
Guan Dehou nodded, and then winked at Lao Peng, who immediately led a few people down the stairs.
As soon as Lao Peng left, Guan Dehou also led people to the balcony from the attic window.
Everyone moves quickly and quietly.
When the last person left the attic and entered the shadow on the rooftop, the footsteps in the rain finally became clear.
Guan Dehou slowly straightened up while wearing night vision goggles, and saw three people quietly picking up weapons and reaching for the attic window.
Jing Quan also saw it, he raised the muzzle of his gun and locked onto one of them.
But Guan Dehou raised his hand to suppress the muzzle of his gun, and whispered: "Don't worry, play hide and seek with them!"
Jing Quan's eyes lit up when he heard about hide and seek.
He quietly put away the rifle and took out the dagger from behind.
The rain is still falling, and the weather in early spring is so cold that it makes people shiver, but people like Guan Dehou are now as excited as wolves who have discovered their prey.
Guan Dehou watched as one of them took out something like a smoke bomb and threw it into the attic.
Then the other two raised their weapons and pointed them at the attic window, as if waiting for someone to rush out.
However, things did not develop as they thought.
When one of them realized something was wrong, Lao Peng and others on the other side had quietly touched the enemy's back.
Those who thought they were hiding well and thought the other party was on guard had their necks slit open by daggers before they could react.
The smell of blood is nauseating, but it excites the beast.
Guan Dehou and the others are now a group of ferocious "wolves". They had no intention of hunting, but the prey came to them on their own.
"Okay, it's your turn to show off!"
Jing Quan understood, raised the dagger in his hand, and then threw it out with all his strength.
The dagger passed through the rain curtain and pierced the prey's back.
The three of them fell down almost at the same time...
