Chapter 48 Shooting in the Street as a Diversionary Tactic
"Have you figured out how to circumvent the screening?" Yan Shuo asked.
"I've thought it through!" Lin Lele said, "I'm only responsible for making the arrests. I didn't go to the safe house, and I don't even know its location. I only know that the person was taken to that Huanghe Road area. Hmm, there's only one safe house for that action team in that area. I don't know its location on the surface, and I've never been there, but Sister Su Ling told me that our people have checked that area, and there's only one suspicious location. Hehe! Even if they investigate, I'll be fine! On the surface, I'm a trusted confidant. Wu Sibao trusts me a lot, all thanks to those stockings you gave me!"
"Hmm, not bad! If you want more stockings, we have some. You can't afford other things given your current status anyway, but stockings are a big deal. Don't give me anything too fancy, or it will just make you look bad. Tell the outsiders what you want, or send a telegram. We don't lack the money, but don't enjoy it in public. If you get caught, it'll be a real hassle to rescue you!" Yan Shuo instructed.
"Yes, Captain, I understand!" Lin Lele smiled and nodded, very clever.
"Here! Give this to Wu Sibao!" Yan Shuo took out a lighter, a high-end metal windproof lighter.
"Is this high-end stuff okay?" Lin Lele played with it for a couple of moments, then quickly stuffed it into her pocket.
"This lighter is specially made. It has a little gadget inside, and the filler is sealed shut, so it can't be filled. Once it's empty, it's useless. It looks high-end, but you can't open it. If you do, it'll catch fire and explode, ensuring there's nothing inside, destroying all evidence. It can record sounds emitted within a 1-meter radius, essentially a personal listening device. However, it'll run out of power in about 20 days. When that happens, find a chance to replace it with a new one; they're all the same. Just be careful of the wear and tear from use. Otherwise, just leave it alone. When it's gone, or when the lighter runs out of fuel, give it to him again, saying you bought another one from Ximei Trading Company. Tell him in advance that it's a specially made lighter. Didn't you say Wu Sibao often gives you money to buy things and run errands? He directly uses the money to buy these inconspicuous props, or if you need them, he'll contact someone to deliver them to you. That's a leak, so be careful. Try not to go out unnecessarily, or you'll suffer during the investigation!"
"So high-end?" Lin Lele took out the lighter again to look at it, but seeing Yan Shuo cough lightly, she quickly put it back.
"Take one for yourself too. If you need anything, just speak into the lighter or tap it lightly. You know Morse code too. Don't wander around unnecessarily. When they're checking you, those who aren't present or who run out of the house are most likely to be checked. This thing can transmit for more than a mile, about 1000 meters. Try to find a high place and press this position to turn it on. It can be charged by sunbathing. This is different from the one you gave Sibao. That one is always on, but this one has a switch. You only turn it on when you need it. Within 1 kilometer, I've rented a place, and someone will be there."
"Great! This makes things much more convenient. Thank you, Captain!" Lin Lele said excitedly.
"Okay, take it easy, don't rush. Do you have enough money? I'll give you some more!" Yan Shuo took out a roll of banknotes and stuffed it into Lin Lele's hand.
"Hehe, thanks, Captain."
"Well, the people in your department all have a few vices. You can play cards with them, find women, drink, and eat meat, but don't get drunk, sleep with women, and don't talk in your sleep, okay? You don't usually talk in your sleep, do you?"
No, that's not true!
"That's good! Sleeping with women doesn't cost much. You can keep one as a mistress long-term. If she has a child, you'll have an heir, and your work and life won't be affected."
"The captain is so good to me!" Lin Lele was almost in tears.
"Damn it! Hold on, get lost!" Yan Shuo gestured to Lin Lele, his emotions showing, telling him to get lost so he could eat.
After dinner, leave the four kids behind; we'll catch the ropes later.
Yan Shuo left one car behind, then took out another car from a secluded spot and drove to the safe house of the 1st Action Team on Huanghe Road to prepare for the rescue.
It's around 4 pm now, and it won't get dark until after 7 pm, so there are still several hours to go.
Yan Shuo was a little helpless. The invisibility card had a shadow during the day, so it was almost the same as not being invisible at all.
Looks like we need to think of another way.
Yan Shuo walked around the wall of house number 11. It was a detached house with its own gate, courtyard, and wall, not adjacent to any neighbors on the left, right, or front. That was convenient, but the damn thing was that there were shops all around, with people coming and going, which was really a headache for them.
Let's lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Yan Shuo came up with a plan, a simple strategy.
Arrange for a weapon doll to run to a busy shop, stand at the entrance, and fire a few shots into the air. There's no silencer, so the sound is very loud.
"Clap clap clap!"
The surrounding crowd and residents scattered like birds and beasts, squeaking and shouting; good heavens, it was a complete mess.
"The door opened, and six people ran out!" reported the doll-like soldier monitoring the situation.
"Okay! Build a ladder!" Yan Shuo saw that there was no one on the street, so he directed the doll to build a ladder on the other side of the wall and quickly climb over the wall to enter the yard.
Yan Shuo climbed the ladder over the wall and jumped into the courtyard. He commanded the weapon dolls to quickly silence them. Gunshots rang out as he released six more emotionless dolls in addition to the four that had entered earlier. "Search for living people. Control them if you see them. If they resist with weapons, shoot them dead!"
"Roger!" The dolls scattered, quickly filling suitable spots in the yard, and then gathered in the room, ready to search.
"Go back, go back! It's a diversionary tactic! They're rescuing people inside! Oh no, call for backup!" Ding Hang, the squad leader of the guards, was extremely anxious and quickly called the six men who had gone out to check the situation on the street back to the safe house.
Unfortunately, he couldn't go back. The gate had already been taken over by the weapon dolls, and there were indeed dolls causing trouble on the street. Ding Hang and his group of six, including himself, were riddled with bullets.
The weapon doll's marksmanship is unparalleled; it's a combination of advanced technology and ruthless skill. Its accuracy is insane, hitting the head with every shot. It's also bulletproof and incredibly durable. As long as its head isn't smashed, it can keep moving.
Within two minutes, all the survivors in the courtyard were killed, leaving two wounded. Su Ling was quickly found and rescued.
Su Ling was still unconscious; it seemed she had been anesthetized and the effects of the medication hadn't worn off yet.
Yan Shuo directed the dolls to gather the corpses into a pile, then waved his hand to collect them all into his spatial ring. "Go ahead and check it out."
He went outside, but the streets were deserted. He guessed that a few onlookers were probably peering out of windows to see what was going on. Never mind, Yan Shuo covered his face with a bandit hat. "What are you looking at, you idiot?"
They released the car, handcuffed the wounded, drugged them, stopped the bleeding, and stuffed them into the trunk, thoughtfully placing an absorbent cloth underneath. Passing by the locations of Ding Hang's bodies, they simply waved and collected the bodies, then made their escape!
I heard car engines in the distance, they must be reinforcements. Whatever, I'll just slip away.
When the car reached a secluded spot, Yan Shuo got out and changed vehicles, switching to a jeep. He stuffed the wounded prisoners into the jeep's trunk, then carried Su Ling to the back seat and laid her down!
Yan Shuo drove leisurely back to the concession and arrived at Yaojia Alley near Dada Wharf. There was a huge warehouse storage yard there. Ximei Trading Company had warehouses there, and Yan Shuo also owned property there.
Put Su Ling on the bed and cover her up.
Command the weapon doll to take the prisoner to the basement. Hmm, Shuanzi, this new customer, is already in place, tied to the cross iron frame. This basement is the torture chamber prepared by Yan Shuo. It's soundproof; you can scream your head off and no one outside can hear you.
