Chapter 280: Trapped in a cocoon (Part )

How to deal with the dilemma? Since Duanmu can't do anything to his partner Lesha, he can only find a way to get rid of Ellie. However, from what Ellie said, it can be inferred that the person who monitored Duanmu was not Ellie.

There were too many identities, and he didn't know which one he was targeted for. Duanmu couldn't think of a better solution for a while.

After lunch, Cui Jian and Duanmu drank tea under the grape trellis in the garden. Duanmu finally received the news he wanted: "The aunt you photographed this morning is Kathy Lee, from Chicago, working for the Chicago branch of the Department of Homeland Security, with the rank of colonel, and her position is unknown."

Cui Jian frowned rarely and asked, "What did you do?" He knew immediately that Casey was an intelligence officer who had a say in the White House.

Duanmu Wuwu said: "I didn't do anything." He did too much and he didn't know why.

Cui Jian suggested: "Why not visit her directly?"

"Good idea." Duanmu took the car keys and said, "Let's go." They are not criminals, they have the right to bear arms. Casey is not a criminal either, but they do not have the right to bear arms. The local tyrants are not afraid of you coming openly, but they are afraid of you playing dirty.

They left without much planning. When the car arrived at Shuangjing Hotel, the two of them took the elevator upstairs and knocked on the door of room 505. This was the temporary residence registered by Casey. For people like Duanmu, they could basically find out the information that the police could find.

After knocking twice but no one opened the door, Duanmu continued to knock patiently. Cui Jian leaned against the wall, crossed his arms and said, "Don't hide in there and keep silent. I know you are at home. If you have the guts to steal a man..."

Duanmu looked at Cui Jian, and Cui Jian shut up.

Duanmu knocked on the door again and asked, "Don't you dare to open the door?"

Cui Jian said: "Maybe she is still following Duanmu."

Duanmu took out his cell phone, fiddled with it for a while, and called the police: "Hello, this is the security department of Shuangjing Hotel. The guest in room 505 of our hotel wants to commit suicide..." Halfway through his words, the door finally opened. The person he saw was Kathy in the photo.

Cathy asked with a cold face: "What do you want from me?" She said "you" instead of "you all", which means that she has figured out the relationship between Cui Jian and Duanmu.

Duanmu asked: "Would you like me to come in and sit down?"

Casey asked back: "Do you dare to come in?"

Duanmu asked back: "When you asked this question, did you not find out our details clearly?"

Casey said nothing more and moved aside to let the two men in.

Duanmu and Kaixi were chatting and being polite. The follower Cui Jian took a look outside the bathroom and bedroom, nodded to Duanmu, and sat down in a chair by the window, leaving the conversation space for Duanmu and Kaixi.

Duanmu had friends in the US Congress and was considered a powerful figure. Casey obviously knew Duanmu well and knew that he not only had some power in the US, but also had many followers abroad.

Since the person has come to the door, Casey explained frankly: "In connection with the murder of Edward, the head of Ice Thorn, and others in the Chinese restaurant, several national intelligence agencies have sent specialists to Hancheng with the goal of eradicating the Seven Killers entrenched in Hancheng."

Duanmu didn't rush to deny his identity: "Why? What is the relationship between Qi Sha and your intelligence agency?"

Cathy gave Duanmu a cigarette, but Duanmu didn't take it. Cathy lit one herself and looked at Cui Jian. Cui Jian shook his head and pushed open the window.

Casey blew out a smoke ring and said, "Ice Thorns is not a normal national criminal justice agency. It is an investigation team jointly formed by more than 40 countries because the Seven Killers are too powerful. Under the attack of Ice Thorns, the living environment of the Seven Killers has greatly deteriorated in the past two years. With their several major operations, their weapons inventory has reached the bottom. Ice Thorns has basically achieved its goal: to curb the development of the Seven Killers."

Casey said, "But some people in the Ice Thorn were too clever and tried to eradicate the Seven Killers. Because of internal disagreements, the clever people wanted to use someone else to deal with the Seven Killers, which resulted in the Seven Killers taking action against the authorities for the first time. At this point, the authorities must have made a statement. According to our internal opinion, we allow the Seven Killers to exist, and if they encounter a catastrophic disaster, we will provide appropriate assistance. But we do not allow the Seven Killers to exist with strong influence."

Duanmu said: "You mean that Qi Sha can only intimidate certain people, but cannot become a hero among civilians."

Casey: "Almost. But this incident is very serious, so we formed the Ocean Team. The purpose is what I just said, to dig out Shuiyao hiding in Hancheng."

Another Sunday? Cui Jian leaned back in his chair and looked at the sky, feeling a little depressed.

Casey continued: "You are highly suspected."

Duanmu asked: "What suspicion?"

Casey said, "Someone was injured in the gunfight at Huayang Primary School. The police collected DNA for comparison and found that one of the injured was named Baili Xiong. You and I both know that Baili Xiong is a subordinate of your captain and belongs to the Nemo Special Service Team 1 under your command. What you should consider is whether your captain has begun to suspect you."

Duanmu pointed at himself and said, "My captain suspects that I am the Seventh Killer?"

Casey spread his hands: "This is your internal matter."

Duanmu said: "Besides this, what evidence do you have to doubt me?"

Casey replied: "Ellie is a special agent sword butterfly. She is under control even when she is on vacation. We naturally know that you have slept with Ellie. The reason why you did not kill Ellie in the Chinese restaurant box is not a joke."

Duanmu was silent for a moment, then reached out to pick up the cigarette on the table and lit one for himself. He didn't expect that he had so many flaws. Ai Li's flaw was because she didn't control her lower body. Huayang Primary School was because of a misunderstanding. The Lesha incident was purely accidental. This is the consequence of having too many identities and too many things to do. Although detectives don't like the word accidental, there are indeed many accidents and coincidences in the world.

How can I not get my shoes wet when I often walk along the river?

Casey put out the cigarette butt: "But I know you are not Qi Sha."

Duanmu was surprised when he heard this: "How do you know? Because I'm not an orphan? Maybe I like the Seven Killings concept, so I applied to join?"

Casey looked at Duanmu with a half-smile and said, "Because I contacted the butler Qi Sha."

Duanmu Shihua: "What?"

Casey said, "My brother was stationed in the Green Zone in the Middle East, and his 10-year-old daughter went missing. Later I learned that she became the bride of Target 50 of Seven Kills, and died two weeks later."

Duanmu was doubtful and uncertain: "Could it be?"

Casey nodded. "Yes, I sorted out the information and sent it to Qi Sha, which led to the Target No. 50. Our whole family is very grateful to Qi Sha."

Duanmu was even more confused: "Since you know I'm not Qi Sha, why are you still staring at me?"

Casey stared at Duanmu and smiled sarcastically, saying, "Because you are not Qi Sha." Duanmu understood and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Casey clearly told Duanmu: I want to wrongly accuse you. How can this game be played? Should I tell Casey that although I am not Qi Sha, I am Qi Sha's financial sponsor?

Duanmu was speechless. Duanmu felt aggrieved and wronged. Duanmu didn't know what to say.

Casey said: "But I can solve this problem, as long as you find a scapegoat for me."

Duanmu looked at Casey: "What do you want?" The other party was so frank, he must have something to ask for.

Cui Jian stood up and said, "I have a stomachache. I'm going to the bathroom. You guys can chat."

Casey watched Cui Jian leave her without saying anything.

After Cui Jian closed the door, Casey said, "I need all the work reports of your special forces team related to Nemo in the past three years."

Duanmu smiled bitterly: "Sister, I'm just a small team leader."

Casey said, "But he is one of his most trusted subordinates. The members of Nemo are either rich or noble, and there are also lawless criminals who commit crimes and do whatever they want."

Duanmu sneered, "Don't tell me you want to bring them to justice."

Cathy smiled and said, "Maybe."

Duanmu knew that Casey was joking. If Casey was from a domestic law enforcement agency like the FBI, he might have asked for information in order to arrest someone. As people from an intelligence agency, they would definitely keep the evidence they got from others and use it when needed.

Duanmu asked one last question: "Since you are ready to meet me, why don't you open the door when I knock?"

Casey said, "I'm investigating your little follower. He doesn't seem to be your man, but according to the information, you two have a good relationship."

Duanmu nodded, but didn't want to talk about the relationship between Cui Jian and himself, and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I will find a way to contact my boss. It may take some time."

Casey asked, "Is it inconvenient for him to answer the phone now?" tentatively.

Duanmu answered ambiguously: "Maybe."

Casey asked, "You and your henchmen are bodyguards for Dayin Security, right?"

Duanmu nodded.

Casey thought about it, as if he was trying to make a decision, and finally said, "We'll talk about it later. You can leave now."

It was also the first time that Duanmu faced this kind of old intelligence thief sitting in the office. He had a lot of tricks and didn't give him a chance to distinguish the truth from the false. As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he controlled the rhythm and direction of the conversation. No wonder his legendary sword butterfly housekeeper was trapped by the old thief in the office and forced to retire.

Do you think she was telling the truth? No, it is possible that she used the information gap to fabricate a background in a short period of time. While fabricating the background, she continued to collect information revealed by Duanmu during the conversation to further improve the background. When necessary, she would overturn all the backgrounds in one fell swoop and rebuild a new background.

For example, in this conversation, Casey initially took the position of the head of the Ocean Squad formed to capture Shui Yao. After further conversation, Casey suddenly changed sides and became an ally of Qi Sha. In the end, Casey's request was for her job requirements and had nothing to do with the Ocean Squad and Qi Sha. It is even possible that she has a hidden position that is unknown to the public.

At this time, Duanmu remembered what Cui Jian once said: There is nothing that cannot be solved by one bullet. If there is, then use two. Although the speech seems to be a foolish one, it has its own philosophy: simplicity is beauty.

Duanmu came out of Casey's residence and did not take Cui Jian with him. Instead, he gave Cui Jian 20 won and told him to go have dinner by himself. He contacted Li Ran and told him that he would take a leave in the near future. Li Ran was confused. Everyone is on holiday now. Are you taking a leave to show off your presence?

Duanmu was speechless. For the first time, he felt that his CPU was overdrawn. He needed time and space.

……

The innocent Cui Jian would not try to figure out what Duanmu and Kaixi talked about. He was even too lazy to digest the information he had heard before. The only thing that interested him was: how did Duanmu become Shui Yao? If he hadn't known that Shui Yao was a newcomer, Cui Jian would really have suspected that Duanmu was Shui Yao.

Cui Jian also had his own things to do. The next night, Cui Jian drove the small truck that Shengzi had stolen to the container distribution center of the logistics park. There are many container warehouses near the logistics park, including warehouses where empty containers are piled up. These warehouses have almost no security measures, only on-duty personnel. The on-duty personnel are not there to protect the containers, but to rent out the containers.

Due to the bad environment, the rental rate of containers has continued to decline in the past two years, and the number of vacant containers has increased significantly, making it impossible to stack them in the original warehouses. As a result, some containers have been stacked outdoors or even in the wild.

Not only containers, some netizens have captured the spectacular scene of a large number of new cars being thrown in the wild.

Cui Jian's target was the container placed in the wild.

Cui Jian was driving slowly when a voice came from his earphone: "Ri Yao, take your position." As a sniper, Ri Yao was also responsible for field control and reconnaissance. He was at a high point, using an infrared night vision telescope to watch every move around the target container.

Mu Yao was waiting in a car two kilometers away. He was a reinforcement and could provide military support if necessary or pick up people and run away if necessary.

Shuiyao has been hiding in the container group, and even Riyue can't find him. His role tonight is to look for surveillance equipment that may be installed nearby.

According to the location given by the raincoat customer, Cui Jian drove to the vicinity of the target, got out of the car, took out a flashlight to check the 11-digit number on the container, and soon found the two target containers. The two containers were stacked together, one on the first floor and the other on the second floor, with two layers of empty containers on top.

Using the key to open the container on the first floor, Cui Jian carefully used a stick to hook the door open, shining a strong light in. There was a camera on the strong light flashlight, and Shengzi's voice came: "Safe."

Cui Jian entered the container, closed the door, turned on the camping light in his hand, and instantly illuminated the entire container.

There were dozens of boxes of supplies stacked in the container. There were military green boxes, wooden boxes, and metal boxes. There was a crowbar on the ground to deal with the wooden boxes. As for the military green hard plastic boxes and metal boxes, they had been unlocked in advance.

There were fifteen wooden crates, which were not made in large factories, but mostly from small workshops. Cui Jian pried open a few of the crates, and inside were AK-47 rifles, pistols, and corresponding bullets. This kind of goods could only be taken to Africa to exchange for resources.

Cui Jian picked up an AK-45 rifle and disassembled it for inspection. He found that the workmanship and materials were similar to those of standard weapons. The advantages of the AK-45 rifle were strong adaptability to the environment and easy repair, while the disadvantages were loud noise and high recoil. Similarly, the pistols in the wooden box were also in large quantities.

Cui Jian checked the military green supply boxes. The first box contained five M4 rifles placed in the slots. Under the slots were many M4 accessories, including auxiliary sights, zoom lenses, magazines, silencers, etc. There was also a long waterproof bullet box with neatly laid M4 bullets inside.

The second army green supply box is the AK-4 rifle. The M and AK- series are the most common rifles. This batch of AK- is more exquisitely made than the AK- made of wooden slats, but there is no difference in the materials.

The other supply boxes are almost all filled with weapon parts and bullets, ranging from assault rifles to submachine guns.
