Chapter 1414: A Major Discovery

Soon, one of the men Fu Yan Cheng had sent out returned: "How was it? Did you find anything?"

The soldier's expression was very serious: "Deputy Commander, we did find that person, but we discovered some abnormal situations. It's not convenient to say over the phone, so he asked me to return to the military district first."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng said: "Let's go to the Regiment Commander's office."

When they arrived at Colonel Kong's office, Instructor Guo happened to be there as well.

Seeing Fu Yan Cheng, Colonel Kong said: "Quick, come in and sit. We actually have something to discuss with you."

Fu Yan Cheng stepped aside to let the person following him forward: "Regiment Commander, Xiao Wu and the others have made a major discovery."

Seeing Xiao Wu, Colonel Kong understood what it was about: "Speak quickly, what did you discover?"

Xiao Wu coughed lightly: "Regiment Commander, could you let me drink some water first? To rush here, I'm almost dying of thirst."

Instructor Guo knew it was because of their own matter and quickly stood up to pour a cup: "Fortunately, the Regiment Commander's thermos doesn't keep heat well, so the temperature is just right to drink."

Xiao Wu gulped down a cup of water in one go, wiped his mouth, and then said: "Based on the address provided by the Chen family, we quickly found the man described by them.

That man was a worker at the oil refinery. Hearing other employees call him Section Chief Song, we took advantage of his house being empty to sneak in. We discovered that the three rooms in his main hall had only one door, and it wasn't in the middle room, but in the one on the east side. At first, I was puzzled: what was the point of such a layout? Wouldn't entering and exiting the innermost room be extremely inconvenient?

Only after entering the room did we realize that the innermost room had a smooth floor, but aside from a set of bedding, there was nothing else inside, and that bedding was placed directly on the ground.

It wasn't until we came out that I remembered: don't people in the Sun Country in movies love to sleep on the ground?

After coming out, we specifically chatted with nearby households. That surname Song had transferred from somewhere else a few years ago, telling the neighbors it was to take care of his frail daughter at home.

But when we went in, there was absolutely no one in that room."

After hearing Xiao Wu's words, everyone in the room looked grave. Colonel Kong spoke first: "It seems they are trying to cover something up?"

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at Instructor Guo: "Regiment Commander, this matter is becoming increasingly strange. I request to join this mission."

He suddenly thought of something: "Regiment Commander, re-interrogate those from the Chen family. Carefully check among the people who came with Old Lady Chen to see if there is anyone suspicious."

Colonel Kong stood up: "Do you suspect they took the opportunity to sneak into the family compound?"

Fu Yan Cheng nodded: "We must be on guard. We don't have much time left. If there really is an enemy agent in there, and he hasn't returned for a whole night, I fear we may have already tipped them off."

Xiao Wu frowned: "Could it be that no one is in that compound because they received news and fled?"

Fu Yan Cheng's expression was very grave: "Very likely."

Fu Yan Cheng didn't even have time to go to the family compound to tell Liu Chuxue; he only asked Colonel Kong to send a soldier to deliver a message to Liu Chuxue. He and Instructor Guo then led people out on the mission.

The soldier left there to keep watch reported that Section Chief Song had entered the oil refinery and had not come out. Fu Yan Cheng glanced at the watch on his wrist; there was less than an hour left until the afternoon shift ended: "Xiao Wu, have them keep watching here. You take me to the target's house again."

Xiao Wu dared not delay, fearing they might be negligent and miss something, so he quickly took Fu Yan Cheng to the place.
