Chapter 41 Find out the reason
Xu Qingyun woke up before dawn.
He glanced at his watch and saw that it was five o'clock. He had a bad feeling. In fact, he woke up at night and forced himself to fall asleep again, so that he could refresh himself and be able to deal with any situation at any time.
No one called him all night, which proved that the target did not appear.
The two members of the action team were watching at the same time, and Yan Ming was always there. It was equivalent to three people watching, so the possibility of mistakes was very small.
"Captain, you're awake."
In just one night, Yan Ming's eyes were already red, with traces of moisture on the corners of his eyes. It was obvious that he had rubbed his eyes many times.
"Thank you for your hard work, what's going on now?"
"No one showed up." Yan Ming shook his head.
Xu Qingyun picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, then suddenly put the telescope down and strode outside.
He was worried that Yan Ming's guess would turn out to be true. If that happened, it could only be said that the acting skills of these two Japanese spies were extremely superb and they had deceived all of them. Even he was tricked by the other side.
Arriving at the entrance of the sewer, Xu Qingyun shined a flashlight downward.
The light illuminated the card slot below, but Xu Qingyun's expression changed.
The information that was originally blocked by the card slot was gone. The Japanese spies had appeared and took the information under their noses.
How did he do it?
Yan Ming followed Xu Qingyun and saw that he had a strange look on his face. He put his head over and was immediately stunned like Xu Qingyun.
He made the outer packaging of the information exactly as Takamoto Mina said. Although he did not put the information in, he already knew that the information was stuck in the sewer. At this time, there was nothing underneath.
"team leader."
Yan Ming was extremely shocked. They were the only two at the scene, and Xie Yongshan hadn't gotten up yet.
"Hold the flashlight for me."
Xu Qingyun handed the flashlight to Yan Ming, opened the manhole cover, and got down with his whole body. Yan Ming helped hold the flashlight to shine down.
The card slot is still there, but the information has disappeared, including some of the larger garbage I saw yesterday.
Xu Qingyun ignored the dirty water and stretched out his hand to touch the card slot. After a while, he touched the two ropes beside the card slot.
Pull one up, and the slot flips up. Pull up another one, and the slot flips down.
Touching the rope, Xu Qingyun finally understood why the information was gone. It was not that the other party did not appear, but that the dead mailbox was just a cover.
In other words, this is not just a dead mailbox, but a cover for a real dead mailbox.
"Give me a flashlight"
Xu Qingyun shouted, and Yan Ming immediately handed over the flashlight. Through the flashlight's illumination, he could see an obvious turn in the sewer less than ten meters ahead.
Remembering the approximate angle of the turn, Xu Qingyun climbed out and took Yan Ming towards the direction of the sewer water.
We walked around in front and soon arrived at the entrance of an alley. After walking a few steps in, we saw a sewer manhole cover.
Xu Qingyun estimated the distance. The manhole cover was not far from the one outside the teahouse, only about twenty meters at most.
He already understood how the information was taken.
When he came to the manhole cover, Xu Qingyun searched carefully with a flashlight. There were marks of the wheels on the ground, traces of people sitting on the ground, and a few mottled footprints.
Someone was passing by in the alley, and there were two footprints on the wheel of the car.
"Yan Ming, go back and get the camera."
Xu Qingyun ordered, but Yan Ming did not move and whispered: "Captain, do you want to change your clothes and shoes first?"
The weather is relatively cold now. Xu Qingyun jumped into the sewer just now, and his feet and calves were obviously wet. When the cold wind blows, you can imagine the feeling. "This is an order."
Xu Qingyun glared at him. The most important thing now was to collect evidence. There was no time to change shoes and clothes. The spy's cunning was beyond his imagination. Even he and everyone were deceived.
It wasn't Mina Takamoto who deceived him, but her team leader. Mina Takamoto didn't know the truth.
If he had thought earlier that the sewer was a cover, this Japanese spy would definitely not have been able to escape. Unfortunately, when he first saw the blocking slot, he really thought it was a setting that simply blocked the information and prevented it from flowing out.
"yes."
Yan Ming was startled and hurriedly ran back. When he returned to the surveillance point, Jie Yongshan had already put on his clothes.
Xu Qingyun was the person in charge of the case. When his team members saw that he was awake and taking people out, they did not dare to be careless and immediately woke up their team leader. If something really happened and the team leader didn't get up, the station leader would definitely be scolded if he found out. .
If the team leader gets scolded, he will scold them when he comes back.
"Yan Ming, what happened?"
Seeing Yan Ming coming back in a hurry, taking the camera and leaving, Jie Yongshan shouted hurriedly.
"The information has been taken away by spies."
Yan Ming explained briefly and left. The captain was waiting for his camera and wanted to send it as soon as possible.
"impossible."
Jie Yongshan was slightly startled, screamed, and ran out following Yan Ming.
During the day, he and his men had been staring at the dead mailbox to confirm that no one could take the information without being discovered by him. Could it be that when night came, the person watching was asleep, and it happened that the spy came to get the information at that time?
If this were the case, he would not be able to spare the people on duty at the time.
The punishment of the intelligence department is very strict. If you neglect your duty when targeting people, you will be shot if it is serious.
Yan Ming quickly ran into the alley, and Xu Qingyun had already used a flashlight to look around the manhole cover.
Holding the camera, setting up the lighting, and taking pictures of all the traces on the ground, Xu Qingyun opened the manhole cover and jumped in again.
This place also had a blocking trough, and he soon found the knotted rope nailed to the top of the sewer.
Sure enough, as he had guessed, the Japanese spy arranged a very clever dead mailbox. He dropped the information at the entrance of the sewer and collected the information at the entrance of the well below, hiding it from all of them.
"Captain Xu, what's going on?"
Xie Yongshan ran out with Yan Ming. When he saw Xu Qingyun taking pictures with his camera, he didn't dare to ask. He didn't dare to ask until Xu Qingyun climbed out of the sewer again.
"The enemy is too cunning. He arranged a movable blocking trough and used the rope inside the wellhead to pull the blocking trough open. He waited for the information to flow down and took it away."
Xu Qingyun sighed, while Xie Yongshan was dumbfounded.
The spy really took away the information, but not what he thought. The real situation was more complicated than he thought.
"You guys wait for me here, I'll go in and take a look."
Xu Qingyun asked the two of them to stay where they were. He took a flashlight and searched carefully along the alley, mainly for traces on the ground.
This alley has two entrances and exits. He is mainly looking for car prints and shoe prints. The car prints on the manhole cover just now are a bit abnormal. Even if they are normal, any traces left at the crime scene must be recorded.
This is the basic principle for handling cases.
Fortunately, the car mark is still there. Judging from the shape of the car mark, the car came from above and then left through the alley entrance.
The sky was getting brighter, and Xu Qingyun felt a tingling sensation on his feet. There was water on his calves and feet, which mixed with the cold morning air, making it bone-chilling.
Third update, thanks to Tao Li for the 100 starting coin reward.
