Chapter 1174

~11 min read 2,072 words

Li Hong turned through two streets, looked left and right while crossing the road, and walked towards the alley at her destination. When she reached the corner, she stuffed a note into a milk box and folded a corner of the milk box's tin nameplate.

This was their agreed-upon dead drop, used only once and only at the most critical moment. In the words of the instructor, what was received here was basically a farewell letter.

Li Hong had listened with a smile that day and had even fantasized about writing a poetic farewell letter so that when everyone reunited, they could read it out loud, crying and laughing at the same time.

When the time came, Li Hong realized that reality gave no space for poetry at all. Although all reality exists for the sake of ultimate poetry, all poetry survives based on the overflow of reality.

When Li Hong came out of the company, she only had time to write three words with a signature pen: Run, No. 2.

This meant the No. 2 evacuation plan. Everyone would have different evacuation routes, but it didn't mean destroying all information and fleeing regardless of everything; it meant making basic handovers and only pausing work. If there was a leak, they normally wouldn't choose this route.

Li Hong knew the situation of Ren Kuangshan and Liu Bangshun being caught and guessed that it was all connected, so she chose the No. 2 plan.

Most importantly, choosing the No. 2 plan meant that this was not a total retreat abandoning everything. She was not prepared to abandon the underground network she had built for so many years, which was also her capital for survival. Li Hong even had the confidence that even if she were caught, her superiors would find a way to actively rescue her, or at least exchange her back.

A certain Vietnamese-Chinese person once operated an efficient and huge spy network, and after she was arrested, in order to take over her espionage network, Obama himself came forward to ask for her.

Li Hong knew that her value wasn't that great, so she had to protect the network she had carefully woven even more.

Taking one last look at the milk box, Li Hong hoped that her companion would strictly follow discipline and come to pick up her milk on time.

Li Hong closed her eyes slightly, then turned and left quickly. When she reappeared under surveillance, she looked just like she was shopping as usual, starting to frequently enter and exit small shops on the street.

In one of the small shops, Li Hong quietly changed her card, sent the last text message, then broke the card directly and threw it away. Then, taking advantage of the time to change clothes, she took off the socks from the soles of her shoes and spat out the chewing gum in her mouth.

In this way, as long as she passed another checkpoint, Li Hong would trigger an alarm from gait surveillance or facial recognition. Then, those image reconnaissance police officers with ordinary qualifications would only then realize to check the surveillance, and then follow her unmasked footsteps to reconfirm her position.

Li Hong even had time to look up at the sky at this moment, confirming the number and status of the surveillance cameras around her, her mindset extremely relaxed.

She had done everything she could, and these stupid police officers probably didn't even know what had happened yet.

Li Hong found it funny just thinking about it. Her opponents should have been those mysterious departments that couldn't be spoken of. Unfortunately, the efficiency of the government here was too low, so much so that such an important matter hadn't been passed up, letting her take advantage for nothing.

However, even those so-called mysterious departments, what could they do when facing her? She had done it so perfectly that even if it were some mysterious department, if they were asked to mobilize elite troops, they probably wouldn't know what had happened either.

Changyang City Image Reconnaissance Command Center.

Wei Shiyan was shaking coffee beans with a Commander C40 grinder while watching Li Hong on the screen enter the alley to stuff the note. He said in surprise, "No, what is she relying on? How can she be so unscrupulous?"

Liu Liu Wenkai had nothing to do, so he stood in front of Wei Shiyan learning to make coffee and said, "She probably hasn't seen someone like Team Jiang."

Wei Shiyan was slightly puzzled: "Can't the cameras nearby see?"

"The number of cameras in one district of Changyang is more than the number of police officers, and the coverage is so large that it's impossible to watch all the cameras. Knowing which camera to watch is the key." Liu Liu Wenkai was also an old criminal police officer and had already been taught several rounds of lessons by image reconnaissance.

Wei Shiyan understood a little, but not much. But he was different from others; others didn't dare to ask if they didn't understand, but he just wanted to satisfy his curiosity, so he asked nonchalantly, "That milk box just now, it obviously wasn't an ordinary camera, right?"

"A drone that flew over temporarily. Afraid of being discovered, so it could only circle for a very short time."

"Right. Then wouldn't it be fine to just let the drone follow?" Wei Shiyan asked.

Liu Liu Wenkai couldn't answer this question and subconsciously looked at Jiang Yuan.

The image reconnaissance team leader nearby coughed twice and said, "It's mainly three points. First, there are restrictions on airspace. Some places in the city center are not suitable for flying drones, and it's not allowed. The second point, the sky background of the city is very complex. If you look at the sky normally, you might not see the drone. If there is a building as a background, or if the pollution is a bit heavy today, or if there is light reflecting on it, it's possible to discover us. We who normally do reconnaissance might just fly it directly, but someone at Team Jiang's level would definitely disdain such a crude method."

"There's no need for airspace restrictions, it's such a big case." Wei Shiyan's thinking first considered breaking the rules.

The image reconnaissance team leader shook his head helplessly and said, "If there's a case today that needs to break airspace restrictions, tomorrow someone might borrow the excuse of handling a case to stir up trouble. Of course, we don't need to consider such things."

"What about the third point?"

"The third point is the condition limitation. Like her entering this alley, if we look from high altitude, we have to position ourselves accurately and shoot vertically. If the tilt angle is too large, wouldn't we be unable to see the situation here? If a drone is kept hovering in the sky, an experienced person can tell by borrowing different city backgrounds. Team Jiang always commands us to fly over directly from above only when necessary, shoot, and leave, just like a satellite." The image reconnaissance team leader complimented him, "It's harder than operating a satellite."

"Is it hard?" Wei Shiyan looked at the image reconnaissance team leader, then at Jiang Yuan's orders, and felt whether he should consider "seeing is believing."

The image reconnaissance team leader didn't understand and only thought Wei Shiyan was complimenting Jiang Yuan, so he said, "Everything is like this: it's not hard for those who know, and it's hard for those who don't."

"Right." Wei Shiyan nodded, then continued to shake the hand grinder, and then carefully observed Jiang Yuan's operation.

At the same time, Yu Yu Wenshu was even busier.

Several cameras disguised as electric vehicles, which were actually electric vehicles, blocked the beginning and end of the alley. And one vehicle parked directly on the side of the milk box, disguised as a sentry mode, which was actually a sentry mode, monitoring the milk box.

Although it looked a bit obvious, it was actually a bit obvious. But in this era, domestic electric vehicles were already everywhere. Even if the spy coming to hand over was unhappy, they could only open the milk box while facing the cameras of the electric vehicle.

And this scene didn't wait long.

Just past noon, a man wearing an administrative jacket passed by the alley with a bag tucked under his arm.

He looked at the milk box casually, obviously stunned for a moment. Then, he pretended to reach for a cigarette and entered the convenience store next door.

Coming out again, the man couldn't wait to light a cigarette. As he walked and smoked, when he passed the milk box, he casually took out a key and opened the lock of the milk box.

He opened it twice. The man took out the bottled milk inside and let a note slip into his wrist.

Thump.

Before he could even turn around, the man was pinned to the wall by two strong action team members.

Then, they covered his mouth and pressed him into the car next to them.

There was no surveillance in the alley, and the personnel entering and leaving had already been recorded. This arrest was basically a semi-secret arrest, and the special task force had at least a few hours to interrogate him.

"Zhang Wutian. Deputy researcher at the Photoelectric Research Institute..."

"Note content: Run, No. 2."

In the command center, the information of the man who had just been arrested had already been scanned out.

"Arrest him! Interrogate him." Song Song Tiancheng didn't hesitate anymore.

"I think it can be handed over." A white shirt who had been standing in front of Song Song Tiancheng spoke up at this time: "Let us investigate the rest."

"Okay, it's not convenient for us to investigate anymore." Song Song Tiancheng agreed without any hesitation. He was originally sent down to supervise the academician murder case, and investigating to this step was already enough.

The white shirt standing in front of him thanked him, then looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Jiang Yuan, come with us for a while, we happen to..."

"He can't." Song Song Tiancheng flatly rejected: "We have plenty of cases. If you want to transfer people, go through the formal channels."

Wei Shiyan's face turned red. He couldn't even imagine that if one day he were fought over by mysterious big shots and military police big shots, his old man would laugh so hard that he might even laugh his butt red.

"I want to learn this." Wei Shiyan placed the rich, oily coffee in front of Jiang Yuan.

"Coffee?" Jiang Yuan looked at Wei Shiyan.

"Image reconnaissance..." Wei Shiyan pointed at the screen and asked Jiang Yuan: "Team Jiang, just teach me. As long as you teach me, I'll do whatever you want!"

Liu Liu Wenkai was standing nearby and couldn't help but glance over: "Say less of this kind of talk, you don't know..."

"Team Jiang!" Wei Shiyan interrupted Liu Liu Wenkai's words and only looked at Jiang Yuan: "I am very obedient. You can teach me whatever you want, I will definitely learn seriously."

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, the system's options popped up in front of him:

Task: The second generation also has troubles.

Task content: Guide Wei Shiyan to learn image reconnaissance technology so that he can harvest praise beyond his background—the second generation not only needs their own life but also needs to prove their choices to their elders. They receive a lot, and what they need to bear... is just this little bit. Fulfill Wei Shiyan's wish, lest he fall into endless happiness... and pain.

Jiang Yuan waited for the prompt on the screen to dissipate and couldn't help but look Wei Shiyan up and down.

It has to be said that the second generation really has some luck. Not only is their daily life affluent, their life smooth, and they enjoy luxury, but when they want to make progress, they also have cheats to help.

Jiang Yuan could only nod, took a sip of the coffee Wei Shiyan gave him, and said, "Alright. You can learn if you want, but you have to listen to orders and follow the rules, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Wei Shiyan said, shouting loudly: "Master!"

Everyone in the command room looked sideways, only Wei Shiyan smiled like a "golden snub-nosed monkey."
