Chapter 178: The Detective
Adu City.
When Wei Xiaobao and others arrived at Adu City, it was already afternoon.
When they entered the city, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city and interrogated for a long time. If the middle-aged man hadn't held a pass he got from nowhere, they probably wouldn't have been able to enter the gate of Adu City.
After entering the city, Wei Xiaobao and others were taken into a hotel by the middle-aged man and settled down. This was a hotel that the middle-aged man had booked a long time ago. Since he did not know that Wei Xiaobao would bring so many people, he only booked a hotel.
Two rooms.
The final allocation was for Wei Xiaobao, Xiaodao and the middle-aged man to share a room, and for the other seven people to share a room. It was said to be a hotel, but it was actually very shabby, similar to a small hotel in China.
inside the room.
"Are you familiar with this place?"
Wei Xiaobao, who had just taken a bath, wiped the water stains on his body, walked out of the bathroom, looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the hard sofa, and asked lightly.
"It's quite familiar. I've been here for several days before you guys came."
The middle-aged man replied slowly.
"Xiao Dao, take two people with him later to get a feel for the situation and prepare for action at night."
Wei Xiaobao sat on the only bed, looked at the knife standing in front of the window and said.
"clear."
Xiaodao turned to look at Wei Xiaobao and responded in a low voice.
After a few more words of warning, Xiao Dao took two people and the middle-aged man and left the hotel. The others stayed in the hotel for the time being and took a rest, as there might be something big going on in the evening.
After getting dressed, Wei Xiaobao lit a cigarette, walked to the window, and looked outside through the old curtains.
Adu City is larger than Asan City and looks relatively affluent. There are various shops on both sides of the streets, but there are also relatively more rebels. From time to time, patrolling soldiers will walk down below.
Yes, it seems to be heavily guarded.
However, Wei Xiaobao always felt that this place was very rustic, not even as good as the countryside in E City.
The people here seem to have not had enough to eat all year round. They are all so skinny that one or two of them would probably collapse to death if they fart. They all look so cowardly and dare to challenge the Celestial Empire. Wei Xiaobao really can't figure out who is responsible for this.
their courage.
...
Before the sun was about to set, Xiaodao and the others finally returned to the hotel.
"How's it going? Have you found the place where the hostages are being held?"
Wei Xiaobao looked at the dusty knife and asked calmly.
"No, but we have found several places where hostages may be held. We have to sneak in to find out the details."
Xiaodao shook his head.
"Do you know where the rebel headquarters is?"
Wei Xiaobao asked.
"In the center of the city, in an old theater."
Xiao Dao recalled it for a moment and replied slowly.
Wei Xiaobao nodded after hearing Xiao Dao's answer.
"What are you going to do?"
When the middle-aged man heard about the rebel headquarters in Wei Xiaobao Hall, he couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition and asked hurriedly.
"You are just a guide. Don't ask too many questions that shouldn't be asked. Just do your part."
Wei Xiaobao glanced at the nervous middle-aged man and said expressionlessly.
Wei Xiaobao didn't have that much trust in the middle-aged man. Ever since the middle-aged man suddenly took out the pass when he entered the city, Wei Xiaobao had some doubts about the middle-aged man's identity. He even guessed that the kidnapped investigators were not superficial.
It sounds so simple.
Luo Zhan didn't tell the truth.
The middle-aged man looked at Wei Xiaobao, as if he was hesitant to speak. His intuition told him that a person who dared to sneak into the rebel stronghold alone to kill people would not be too honest.
After nightfall, the middle-aged man brought back some food from outside. Wei Xiaobao simply ate a few mouthfuls. He couldn't eat the food here. It tasted like shit. Although he had never tasted shit, it looked like it.
There is no difference.
After dinner, Wei Xiaobao called Xiao Dao and everyone else from the Tiandi Club to his room.
"Two tasks, one is to find out where the hostages are being held according to Xiaodao's prompts, and the other is to find out the deployment of troops at the rebel headquarters and the specific location of the rebel leader. This is not necessary unless it is absolutely necessary.
Have a head-on conflict with the rebels so as not to alert the enemy."
Wei Xiaobao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"clear."
Everyone in the Tiandi Club, including Xiaodao, nodded and replied in a low voice.
"Gather back here before twelve o'clock. Regardless of whether we find any clues or not, we will come back one by one."
Wei Xiaobao glanced at everyone's eyes and said seriously.
After everyone agreed in unison, they divided into two groups and left the hotel one after another, leaving only Wei Xiaobao and the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had a nervous look on his face from beginning to end. He glanced at Wei Xiaobao from time to time, wondering what he was thinking.
"What are you doing sneakily? Just say whatever you want."
Wei Xiaobao noticed the middle-aged man's abnormality and said impatiently.
The middle-aged man swallowed and hesitated.
"Do you want to sneak into the rebel headquarters and cause sabotage?"
The middle-aged man finally spoke tentatively.
"What, you're going to tell the truth?"
Wei Xiaobao glanced at the middle-aged man and said half-jokingly.
"What are you talking about! You don't believe me?!"
After hearing Wei Xiaobao's words, the middle-aged man looked a little unhappy and said loudly.
Seeing the middle-aged man's reaction, a smile appeared on Wei Xiaobao's lips, and the worry in his heart disappeared.
"I never trust people who don't tell the truth. You are hiding something from me."
Wei Xiaobao snorted coldly and said lightly. The 'you' he said included Luo Zhan, who was far away in heaven.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed.
"It's not that we intentionally hide anything from you. There are some things that are inconvenient to say openly. The less you know, the better it is for you."
The middle-aged man hesitated and spoke slowly, with something in his words.
"Even if you didn't tell me, I would have guessed."
Wei Xiaobao said with a sneer.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Wei Xiaobao meant.
"If my guess is correct, you are spies lurking in country Y, right?"
Wei Xiaobao raised his head, stared into the middle-aged man's eyes, and said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man was shocked and looked at Wei Xiaobao in astonishment.
Secret agent was a term used in ancient times. Today, it should be called a spy. Although middle-aged people have never been to ancient times, they have definitely seen many movies and TV series, so they understand what Wei Xiaobao means by secret agent.
Seeing the middle-aged man's reaction, Wei Xiaobao knew that he had guessed correctly.
It seemed that Luo Zhan was indeed hiding something from himself and did not tell all the truth.
"you......"
The middle-aged man looked at Wei Xiaobao and hesitated to speak, appearing a little flustered.
"Don't worry, no matter what your status is, I don't care and I don't care. Since I promised Mr. Luo to come here to save people, I will definitely save them. When the time comes, you will go your way and I will go mine."
Naihe Bridge, there will be no contact between us until old age and death."
Wei Xiaobao said lightly with a sneer on his lips.
The middle-aged man pursed his lips, swallowed, and stopped talking, but he felt a little more in awe of Wei Xiaobao in his heart.
