Chapter 12: 1 The deaf old lady turned out to be a spy
Nanluoguxiang, in the backyard.
Xu Wood, with a bruised face and nose, was sitting in the deaf old lady's room, complaining.
He was taking pictures for people. How could he have the face to go to work in this state? If you didn't know him, you would think he was a street urchin.
"Old lady, it's not that I didn't do what you said. It's just that He Daqing is a scoundrel. It's strange that I showed him the photo, but he wasn't afraid. He even beat me up. How can this be called logic?"
Xu Wood covered his face and pretended to be pitiful.
For no reason, the father and son were beaten up by He Daqing. How could he bear it?
He was unable to suppress He Daqing, but his neighbor, the deaf old lady, was very cunning and had many little tricks up her sleeve, so she came to him specifically to complain.
Xu Wood's meaning is simple.
It was your idea, now you are responsible.
"He Daqing, this kid is really brave!"
Hearing Xu Wood's words, the deaf old lady felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
I thought I could use Xu Wood's photo to scare He Daqing, but now it seems that He Daqing abandoned the White Widow and chose to stay, which shows that he was clearly well prepared.
"Wood, go back first. I'll think of a way to deal with this matter and I'll deal with him later!"
The deaf old lady snorted coldly, comforted Xu Wood with a few words, and then drove the man away.
She really couldn't stand the sight of a grown man whose son was already in his teens still crying.
But then again, He Daqing knew too much about her. If He Daqing was not eliminated as soon as possible, she would be exposed sooner or later.
"No, once they complete their mission this time, let them get rid of He Da."
The deaf old lady was thinking secretly in her heart.
There's no way. I can't rely on any of the people in this yard.
Three days passed quickly.
On this day, as soon as it got dark, Bai Ling and Zheng Chaoyang, together with people from the police station, secretly came to the vicinity of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Especially the area around the backyard was under their close surveillance.
"Chaoyang, do you think there is really a bomb hidden here?"
Looking at the deaf old lady's room, Bai Ling frowned.
She really couldn't believe that an old lady in her sixties could be a spy.
“It’s hard to say!”
Zheng Chaoyang also looked around and said in a deep voice,
"However, in the past two days, our intelligence department has deciphered the enemy's ciphertext. We didn't decipher all of it, but only two words - Phoenix!"
"Phoenix?"
Hearing this, Bai Ling couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes."
Zheng Chaoyang sighed.
"According to the information we have, once they start a new code, they will take action soon. Moreover, with a code like Phoenix, this operation is obviously not simple. Therefore, we cannot miss it even if there is a slight possibility!"
This is the old city, an important area of the capital. If the explosives in a cellar explode, the impact and losses will be quite serious!
The night grew darker and darker, and the huge courtyard fell into silence.
The people led by Bai Ling and Zheng Chaoyang stood in the cold wind for six hours until the early hours of the morning when they heard noises coming from the corner of the wall.
Bai Ling and Zheng Chaoyang, who were both feeling a little sleepy, suddenly became alert.
Looking in the moonlight, I saw five or six figures, all of whom jumped over the wall into the yard and ran to the door of the deaf old lady's house.
There was a squeak.
The door opened and the deaf old lady came out with a cane.
"Where's the goods?"
In the darkness, the leader asked directly.
"They're all here, hurry up!"
The deaf old lady looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one was around, she said,
"Keep quiet and don't let anyone know!"
"no problem!"
Hearing this, the man's expression suddenly became overjoyed, and then he waved his hand and asked several team members to open the cellar and start carrying out the explosives one by one.
"Wow, it really exists!"
Bai Ling, who was squatting in a dark corner, watched these people move out more than ten boxes of explosives in the blink of an eye. She couldn't help but gasp, then turned her head to look at Zheng Chaoyang.
"No rush, wait until they all move out, then we'll take action!"
Zheng Chaoyang's face was very calm at this moment, but his wise little eyes could not hide his excitement.
Since entering the city of Beijing, the team he was in charge of was specifically responsible for identifying spies and protecting national security.
In the past two years, under his leadership, many dens have been successfully destroyed, but he knows that the further they go, the harder it will be to identify them. Especially those who have been lurking among the people for who knows how many years, if there is no special action, they will not be exposed at all.
And now, the appearance of this group of people undoubtedly means that he can capture another spy gang, and maybe even catch the spy code-named "Phoenix"!
"Now, charge!"
Seeing that the group of people had already closed the lid of the cellar, Zheng Chaoyang no longer hesitated and immediately took Bai Ling and others and rushed directly into the deaf old lady's house.
"Don't move, don't move!"
Zheng Chaoyang led his team members who were armed with live ammunition and surrounded the group of spies in an instant.
The spy chief, who had just accomplished his mission and was planning to go do something big, was stunned when he saw so many people suddenly appear.
His first reaction was to run, but there were black holes of gun muzzles all around him. He would probably be shot into briquettes before he could run far.
After hesitating for a moment, he threw the pistol on the ground and raised his hands.
When the others saw this, they followed suit and raised their hands in surrender.
"Take them all away!"
Zheng Chaoyang frowned and waved his hand. His men rushed forward one by one and handcuffed all the spies. As for the rest, they surrounded the boxes filled with explosives to prevent any accidents.
"Ah this..."
The deaf old lady standing at the door was completely stunned.
She never expected that the action plan she had arranged had already been discovered by the police station and she was caught red-handed.
Ruined!
The deaf old lady was extremely desperate, but she still pretended to be pitiful.
"Oh my, comrades, this is unjust, it is really unjust."
The deaf old lady was so frightened that her face turned pale and she even started crying.
"I'm just an old woman, I don't know anything. They forced me to do this. If I didn't agree, they would kill me..."
Obviously, he still wants to distance himself from this group of people.
"Haha, old lady, please come with us. We will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go. We will know whether you are innocent or not after we investigate it thoroughly!"
Zheng Chaoyang snorted coldly.
He was experienced and had seen too many spies, all kinds of people. But in the absence of hard evidence, these people were stubborn.
"take away!"
Zheng Chaoyang waved his hand and two people rushed up, one on the left and one on the right, and carried the old woman away.
The noise in the yard was so loud that in a moment, Xu Wude, who lived next door, and Liu Haizhong's family, who were also in the backyard, turned on the lights and came out, curious about what had happened.
