Chapter 994: The Special Secret Base

This time, Zhao Yu had guessed correctly! The other party’s destination was indeed Gao Lanqi in Meng Xiang Province. The Buick business car turned in the direction of Gao Lanqi right after crossing the desert. What was even more unbelievable was that when approaching the city, the car began to turn west again. Zhao Yu was shocked when he checked his GPS. It can’t be… he thought.

His GPS showed one location – Ziliu Town!

My goodness, how could this be? Zhao Yu was shocked and found this hard to believe. Why did this particular year’s Rural Cooperatives Murder Case happen in this small town? Why did the mystery person arrange to meet Jiang Ke here?

By now, Zhao Yu was no stranger to coincidences. The mystery person and the Rural Cooperatives Murder Case were undoubtedly related. This person was either an insider, an accomplice, or even the culprit!

Shoot… Zhao Yu’s first thought was that there was no way the mystery guy could be the wanted criminal Yang Zehu, right? If that was true, then wouldn’t this case be ridiculous? Who would have thought that the murderer would have hidden near the crime scene the whole time? In plain sight! Where was the logic in this?

After the car turned onto Ziliu Town’s small road, it began to slow down. It was well into the wee hours of the morning and there weren’t any other cars in sight. Since the car was slowing down, it could only mean that the destination was near!

As expected, the car passed through the town center and turned onto an even narrower road. Zhao Yu did not want to miss out on any details so he quickly took out the Invisible Fluoroscopic Device. The device could see through eye masks and even a car. He could see the environment without having to move a muscle.

Unfortunately, as it was pitch black outside the car, Zhao Yu was unable to see any light and could only see basic details such as the remnants of a destroyed bungalow, alleys stacked with rubbish, and houses covered in residual snow.

Since the reformation and opening of Gao Lanqi and the China borders, the city had become one of the largest cities in Meng Xiang Province due to decent city infrastructure. Still, as the province was scarcely populated and located far away, no matter how good the infrastructure was it would never reach the same level as other metropolises.

The difference was obvious, especially in rural towns. Ziliu Town, while near Gao Lanqi, seemed like a town stuck in the 1980s. There hadn’t been much progress since the first murder case.

The winters here were harsh and pure white snow could be seen everywhere outside. A thick mist covered the car windows. If the car warmer was off, someone could probably create visible steam from anger alone.

As it was cold out and still early, there was not a single human on the street. In his heart, Zhao Yu was amazed that this place served as such a great hideout for a wanted criminal. In such a scarcely populated area, minimal monitoring and only having a few accomplices would greatly reduce the risk of being exposed.

The car headed straight along the small road for about one kilometer before turning right. The surroundings became even more dilapidated, with rundown barns on both sides. There were no longer any animals inside them, and some were even on the brink of collapsing.

After another two to three minutes, the car came to a stop in front of what seemed like a huge factory door. Buzzcut and Zhu Sunfeng left the car and opened the padlock on the door with their keys. Through the Invisible Fluoroscopic Device, Zhao Yu could see both of them shivering. It must really be bone-chillingly cold weather outside.

As the metal door opened, two distinct sounds could be heard in the courtyard. This was probably a cattle farm! This was truly eye-opening. Who would have thought that such a great, mysterious man would be hiding out in a place like this? In that instant, Zhao Yu felt a rare sense of accomplishment. If it wasn’t for his unconventional plan and white lies, he would not have been able to sniff out this mystery man. Thinking about this, Zhao Yu couldn’t help but feel more excited about finding out the mystery man’s identity.

They drove into the courtyard and Buzzcut locked the door behind them before driving further in. Zhao Yu took another look through the Invisible Fluoroscopic Device and confirmed his cattle farm hypothesis. Not only could he see through the walls to see the cows in the barns, but he could also identify that these were female cows due to the spots on them. This was a dairy farm! Interesting…

The car drove into the innermost part of the courtyard where there was a smaller space with a garage. The doors to the garage were already open so Buzzcut drove straight in. “Alright!” said the goateed Zhu Sunfeng as he stretched. “Mr. Jiang, wake up! We’ve arrived!” he shouted at Zhao Yu, who was feigning taking a nap.

“Oh…” Zhao Yu yawned lazily, taking on the appearance of Jiang Ke before taking off the mask.

“Come on, let’s get out of the car!” Zhu Sunfeng said, pistol in hand as he stepped out. “I guess our boss already knew Mr. Jiang was coming and prepared supper for us! I’m famished…”

Woof, woof! The garage and barn were directly linked. A big yellow dog that was tied to the door of the barn started barked immediately when it saw people. “Shoo, shoo, shooooooo…” Zhu Sunfeng charged towards the dog, waving his hands. However, the dog did not back down and continued its incessant barking.

“What a b*tch!” Zhu Sunfeng pointed his pistol at the dog. “Bark again and I’ll shoot you!” As he was talking, Buzzcut had already walked towards the dog. When the dog saw Buzzcut he immediately stopped barking, turned around, and laid down.

“Lucky f*cker!” Zhu Sunfeng said with a shrug. Zhao Yu had left the car by now. Although they were in a garage, he could still feel the chill from the frigid wind. He couldn’t help but shiver. “This way!” Zhu Sunfeng said, signaling towards him. “It’s warmer inside…”

Zhao Yu followed the two inside the barn. Just as Zhu Sunfeng said, the barn was indeed much warmer thanks to a heater that had been installed. However, the smell of fresh manure was unbearable and it burned his nose.

However, Zhao Yu’s curiosity was stronger than the smell. There was no way the mystery man would have chosen to meet Jiang Ke inside the barn. There was definitely something fishy about this.

Right on cue, Zhao Yu witnessed something strange. Buzzcut had used a key to open the fence near the door and made a series of hand signals. A huge cow obediently walked out. “Move, move!” Zhu Sunfeng motioned him inside the barn. “Mr. Jiang, this way please.”

At this point, using the detector in his mind, Zhao Yu discovered there were alarms and security cameras installed beyond the fence’s walls. These devices had been shut down.

When Zhu Sunfeng walked up towards the wall, it opened inwards, revealing a secret passage.
