Chapter 416
Under the cover of night, the black sedan drove in an orderly manner on the quiet road.
If someone looked closely, they would see a black and white cat sitting in the passenger seat, directing the person driving in which direction to go.
"Meow-woo."
To the right and ahead, the big boss is mighty!
Although Jiang Ye couldn't understand Tangyuan's slogans, it didn't hinder him from being able to understand Tangyuan's gestures.
The man and the cat cooperated very tacitly until they drove to a civilian house with ancient architecture, and only then did Tangyuan meow to signal the big boss to stop.
Jiang Ye parked the sedan in a corner and then opened the car door.
Tangyuan leaped lightly, landing on the big boss's shoulder, lying down obediently.
"Meow-woo."
Tangyuan stretched its paws comfortably and inhaled the purple gas emanating from the big boss.
It immediately became spirited, and its fatigue dissipated; it was much faster than the speed of cultivation in its space.
"Tangyuan, is it here? Help me point the way."
Jiang Ye fished a small dried fish out of his pocket to reward Tangyuan.
Next was his silent eye contact with Tangyuan.
Under Tangyuan's direction, Jiang Ye quickly locked onto a tree.
Then he climbed the tree silently and found a few cat hairs on the thick branch, guessing that this should be the position where Tangyuan had rested at the time.
Through Tangyuan's perspective, it corresponded to a room window.
That spot was where Tangyuan had discovered the anomaly!
Estimating the distance between the branch and the windowsill below, he didn't think too much. He lightly kicked the branch with his right foot, and while using the force, he applied the qi in his body to land silently on the windowsill.
This was the first time Tangyuan had seen the big boss show off his skills; its paws were clawing hard at the big boss's collar, its cat eyes wide, filled with admiration for the big boss.
In this Age of Dharma Decline, this move the big boss revealed was truly comparable to a unique skill.
Jiang Ye didn't know Tangyuan's psychological activities; he calmed his heartbeat and closed his eyes to sense whether there were any living things in the room behind the window.
The room was quiet, without a trace of breathing.
Jiang Ye believed in his own judgment; his judgment had never been wrong.
Then he pulled a steel wire from the sole of his shoe and pried open the latch on the edge of the window bit by bit. With a light "click," the window opened.
In the cat's shocked gaze, he supported the windowsill with his hands and leaped inside.
Fortunately, this window didn't have welded steel bars for protection, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to climb in so easily.
After entering the room, with his night vision ability, he roughly scanned the room's structure.
This should be a data room; there were several metal cabinets placed in the room.
A desk was placed against the wall, and on the desk were an old radio, a desk lamp, and the drawers were all locked.
When he touched the room door, he pressed his ear against it to distinguish whether there was any movement in the corridor outside.
After waiting for a few minutes, there was no movement at all. Based on his hearing perception, there were no patrolling people within one kilometer, let alone anyone hiding.
Moreover, the door of the data room he was in was locked from the outside, so it was temporarily safe, and he could thoroughly investigate this room.
"Tangyuan, did you hear the movement coming from this room?
If yes, nod; if no, shake your head."
"Meow-woo."
Tangyuan nodded heavily. Yes, it was here; it definitely hadn't heard wrong.
After getting the answer, Jiang Ye nodded slightly and then started a carpet-style search.
Although these metal cabinets were all locked, after he fiddled with them for a while using the steel wire, the locks inside opened easily.
He opened two or three cabinets in a row, and inside were some personnel data. At the same time, he also confirmed that this was a data room, because the data inside were all files of students and faculty.
Besides the data wrapped in the file bags, he didn't find anything fishy.
But Jiang Ye believed in Tangyuan and believed in his own intuition.
There must be a problem here, so he wouldn't let go of every detail and would continue searching until he found the problem!
Until the last metal cabinet was opened, the data inside attracted his attention.
Xu Huizi—this person's data was stored separately. In the native place column for the mother, it was written as Chinese, but in the native place column for the father, it was written as Japanese.
Original name Baihe Huizi; her father died of illness at twelve. Ten years ago, she applied through the Japanese Embassy and came to China many times to find relatives. Four years ago, she succeeded in finding relatives, changed her name to Xu Huizi, settled in the Capital, and worked as an English teacher at Yizhong.
The edges of the file bag were frayed, indicating that the person in charge of storing the data frequently consulted this file.
Whether they had a guilty conscience or other reasons was unknown.
But what was certain was that this Xu Huizi definitely had some problems with her identity.
After Jiang Ye read two or three pages of Xu Huizi's teaching-related data, just as he was about to put the data back, a photo suddenly fell out from the data.
In the photo, Xu Huizi and a middle-aged man were looking at the camera with intimate postures and smiles.
This social distance was definitely not an ordinary relationship.
Jiang Ye put the photo into his pocket and put the data back in its original place.
Then he continued to look for evidence. Hard work pays off; he discovered clues behind this cabinet.
The wall was empty. After pushing the cabinet body away, inside was a space that could hold a suitcase!
A radio transmitter, the old-fashioned kind from the 60s.
The military didn't use this kind of old-fashioned machine anymore. He could recognize it, thanks to the popular science from an intelligence officer he met on the monkey side when he was executing a mission before.
This kind of old-fashioned machine required relevant translation books and was commonly used by spies to transmit messages, with certain distance requirements.
After seeing this machine, he deduced that there was more than one spy location in the Capital; there were others!
Tangyuan heard the "di-di-di" sound and confirmed it was the movement made by the radio transmitter.
Good, very good. For this discovery, Tangyuan would be the first to be credited!
Jiang Ye restored the cabinet and swept away the traces he had left behind.
He had already found the stronghold for transmitting intelligence. Next, he had to seek help, keep the suspects at this den under close surveillance, and work together to catch the people behind the scenes in one fell swoop!
"Meow-woo."
Tangyuan tilted its head and looked at the big boss in confusion. Why didn't the big boss collect the evidence?
Perhaps seeing the doubt in Tangyuan's eyes, Jiang Ye explained with a good temper:
"This is what we call casting a long line to catch a big fish. If we take the things away now, we'll only catch the person sending the message tonight, and we won't be able to solve the problem fundamentally."
"Meow-woo."
Can't understand, but it makes so much sense!
The cat's brain was itching; the cat follows the big boss, and there will definitely be fish to eat!
Jiang Ye dealt with his traces, not leaving even half a footprint. He leaped from the windowsill back to the tree trunk again, then climbed down the tree smoothly and returned to the car. After waiting for a moment, there was no movement, and only then did he drive away.
He had heard the weather forecast at the Han house; it would rain in the middle of the night, and by then the tire tracks would also disappear...
This trip was full of gains; it was not a wasted trip.
