Chapter 284 Traditional Market (Part )

During the first three days of the project, Casey provided great help to the project. Except for the fact that the Ghost Commander could not be found, everything else was under Casey's control.

Duanmu: "I don't know what this old woman wants. It seems that she wants Shi Hao, but when several ghost personnel were arrested, Cathy seemed to have been prepared for it. She arranged for the agents to take them all away before they could receive treatment. I always feel that I am being led by the nose by her, and she always gets everything she wants."

Cui Jian added a piece of firewood to the fire and glanced at Shi Hao who was resting in the tent. They were not playing exciting games with ghosts, they were hiding in a cave in Xifeng Mountain. Cui Jian believed that the only person who knew about the existence of this cave was the former administrator of Xifeng Mountain, besides himself.

This cave is very hidden. Cui Jian and Shengzi originally planned to build the cave into a safe house, but the environment was too bad, not conducive to the storage of firearms and equipment, and there was a lack of water and electricity, so they eventually gave up the cave safe house.

As long as they don't leave the cave, the infrared thermal drone won't be able to find them. If they want to use manpower to search, they can refer to the capture of fugitives who fled into the mountains in the early years. Without hundreds of people, it would be impossible to search the mountains. Today's technology also has ways to deal with wolfhounds. Unless Cui Jian and others are traitors, even Casey can't find them.

Gui Yi sat on a blanket, wearing camouflage tactical pants, a black vest, and a pistol behind his waist. He had a calm expression and a pair of bright eyes, and it seemed that he had adapted to his role very well.

After three days together, Cui Jian and Duanmu were quite satisfied with Gui Yi. This girl was not afraid of dirt, tiredness, or insects. In summer, the four of them had not showered for three days. The smell in the cave was imaginable, but Gui Yi did not show any discomfort. In private matters such as going to the toilet and changing clothes, Gui Yi also showed her trust in her companions and only completed them at the corner at the end of the cave.

Cui Jian's view on Duanmu's idea is simple: "Don't care what Cathy wants. She may want everything. What you should care about is what you want."

Duanmu rubbed his brows and said, "No, it's important what Cathy wants. Shi Hao may just be a means for her to achieve her goal, and her goal is most likely to catch ghosts. Assuming that Shi Hao has no value to her, it is possible that she will sell Shi Hao. After all, selling Shi Hao can gain more benefits. So, I'm thinking about whether I should send Shi Hao to Highway 4 according to the plan and route given by Cathy."

Gui Yi asked: "Are you suspicious simply because of her identity?"

Duanmu shook his head: "Of course not, she and I contacted each other twice a day and she tried to find out our location many times. She only knew that we were hiding in Xifeng Mountain, but she didn't know our specific hiding place. This practice is very redundant and unprofessional, so I suspected that she had other intentions. It would be fine if she only wanted Shi Hao, but I'm worried that she deliberately leaked the escort plan and the criminals would attack us on the way to escort Shi Hao."

After a moment of silence, Gui Yi saw that no one was talking, so she said, "When Zhang Hao and I were dating, my mother told me to only choose a husband who I trust. If you still have doubts about him, don't talk about marriage with him."

Duanmu nodded: "Then follow my pace."

崔建道：“凯西的计划是后天下午3点把人送到北郊4号公路，届时会有小飞机在4号公路降落。难道你的节奏是今天凌晨3点把人送到南郊3号码头？”

Gui Yi has a low sense of humor, and when he heard Cui Jian's teasing, he laughed out loud.

Duanmu was speechless. Cui Jian said, "I think Casey is trustworthy."

Duanmu asked: "Reason."

Cui Jian said: "Shi Hao may not mean anything to Casey, but your life and death do mean something to Casey. Casey blatantly tore up the agreement and betrayed the plan, which led to your death. Your captain will definitely retaliate for this. Although Jian Die has no bottom line, he pays attention to interests. Killing Shi Hao may not be a big deal, but openly becoming an enemy of your captain is not a wise move when your captain's identity has not been exposed."

Duanmu looked at Cui Jian and said, "Your brain has been getting bigger and bigger lately."

Cui Jian responded with a smile: "Thank you." He raised his middle finger.

At this point, Shi Hao came out of the tent and asked dazedly, "What time is it now?"

Duanmu glanced at his phone and replied, "Eleven o'clock in the evening."

Shi Hao sat down by the fire, took the water from Gui Yi and drank half of it, then asked, "When are we leaving?"

Duanmu replied: "You will know when the time comes."

Shi Hao asked: "Are there really so many people who want to kill me?"

Cui Jian replied: "No, there may be only one person who wants to kill you, but he just sent a lot of people to kill you."

Shi Hao felt even worse.

The three of them were very curious about what Shi Hao had done and what he had mastered that made them keep watching him. But none of them asked. The less you know about some things, the better. And knowing the reason why Shi Hao was attacked does not reduce the risk of Shi Hao being attacked. Even if Shi Hao wanted to speak, they would have to cover his mouth with a cloth.

……

At noon the next day, the four people in the cave had a simple lunch and left Xifeng Mountain on foot under the leadership of Cui Jian. The departure point was not at the intersection of Xifeng Mountain, but on the side, directly down the slope of the woods. The special service team sent an off-road vehicle five minutes ago, and the four people got in and drove away.

Duanmu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, plugged his phone into the central control speaker and called Casey: "Wild Wolf, set off." What a crappy code name.

Casey looked at the images transmitted by the drone and said, "I see. The navigation has been sent to my phone."

"I see it." To go to North Suburb Highway 4, cars must first go up Huanxi Road to Huanbei Road, and then go down Huanbei Road. The total distance is only 35 kilometers, and the average speed can reach 90 kilometers per hour. If everything goes well, it will take only more than 20 minutes to arrive.

The navigation route shows that after 5 kilometers, turn right onto Huanxi Road.

Casey was in a command room surrounded by communications, electronics and computer workers. She stood in the middle, with six large screens in front of her. She had a headset on her left ear to receive information from the workers. She was in control of the operation as the commander.

Why did Duanmu say before the project started that Kaixi could only provide intelligence support? Without knowing whether Taixi and Guiyi would join, he would definitely make up some nonsense.

The white SUV was still two kilometers away from the intersection. The staff kept sending news that everything was going well, but Casey did not relax her vigilance. She said, "Notify the Poison Bee, the Wild Wolf will be on Huanxi Road in three minutes, be careful." What she was most worried about now was a car chase on Huanxi Road and Huanbei Road. After all, she did not know Cui Jian's driving skills. Even if the driving skills were good, a car chase depends on one's character.

The subordinates brought bad news: "Boss, there was an accident at the fifth kilometer of Huanxi Road, and the road is temporarily closed."

"Why?" Kathy asked.

The subordinate replied: "A truck was burning in the tunnel, and a lot of black smoke was coming out of the tunnel. It is not clear whether it was an accident or man-made."

Casey said, "Set up all the new routes."

Casey looked at the seven green routes to Highway 4 on the screen for a while and said, "Choose the third one. Call the wolf."

"Wild Wolf received."

Casey said: "The Huanxi Road Tunnel is closed, and the new route navigation has been sent."

Duanmu looked at the navigation route: "Bayonet, this route goes through the city."

Casey said, "If we don't take Huanxi Road, we will have to go through the city." Cui Jian suggested, "We can take Huanxi Road to Huannan Road, then to Huandong Road, and then to Huanbei Road."

Casey said: "Duanmu, tell your people that I don't like to joke when I'm working."

Cui Jian asked curiously: "What about when you're not working?"

Kathy replied: "I work 24 hours a day."

Cui Jian was speechless and said, "Adjust the route and head to the first coordinate point, Shiming Commercial Building. It is expected to arrive in about 7 minutes."

7 minutes later, Cui Jiandao said, "Go to the second coordinate point, Shiming Traditional Market."

Casey reminded: "It's 2:30 in the afternoon. This is the vendors' rest time. There aren't many people around. You can speed up and pass through."

Traditional markets in Korea are similar to commercial streets, but compared to the neat and luxurious decoration of commercial streets, traditional markets are more friendly. There are many shops and stalls in the market, selling everything from daily groceries to medicinal materials. Some are operated by shops, and some are operated by stalls. In most traditional markets, local specialties and snacks account for a large proportion. For example, raw beef, fried rice sausage, octopus with sauce, etc.

The traditional market cannot be entered by car. The navigation route is to pass through the road on the east side of the traditional market. This road is not a main road. It is a two-way lane in a building. Although the lane is only two kilometers long, it can save 7 minutes compared to the west road. The only disadvantage is that this road is close to the traditional market and has developed a food street. During prime time, the road is basically occupied by pedestrians.

This route is Route 3. Route 4 is the main road, which takes 7 minutes longer and passes through the industrial park, where the road conditions are more complicated. In the end, Cathy decided to take Route 3 and pass through the food court. She was not familiar with this route, so she chose Route 3 after comparing the two.

Cathy thought that she had made a temporary decision to choose one of the seven routes, and even if the criminals were lying in wait, they could not guess which route she would choose. She did not think she needed to worry, after all, she had just caught all the ghosts a few days ago.

Someone motioned for Casey to answer the phone, and Casey walked over and answered it: "It's me."

The other party said: "They are not ghosts."

Casey was surprised: "How is it possible?"

The other party said, "We just got the result of the DNA comparison. One of the arrested persons is a serial killer on the run in North America, and the other is a Belgian prisoner who was released after serving his sentence. He was recruited to Hancheng through the Internet to participate in the operation. These two people are definitely not ghosts."

Casey asked, "Where are the others? Where are the equipment seized from the hotel?"

The other party replied: "We don't know the identities of the other people yet. The equipment seized from the hotel is just ordinary laptops, routers and other Internet devices."

All the ghost groups that had disintegrated before were actually fakes?
For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Casey's forehead and his body trembled slightly. He quickly took out a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth to deal with the sudden symptoms of hypoglycemia.

"Boss, there is an emergency with the Wild Wolves."

Casey looked at the drone's high-altitude perspective on the screen. When Cui Jian and others approached the traditional market, three neatly arranged black seven-seater vans appeared behind them. Casey: "Notify them."

The subordinate immediately called out: "Call the wild wolf, call the wild wolf..."

At some point a small glowing disc appeared on the rear of the car driven by Cui Jian, and it kept emitting interference signals.

Another subordinate warned: "Boss, two black vans appeared on the west side of Line 3."

Are we going to be surrounded? Casey said, "The distribution of nearby police officers."

The subordinate replied: "After the alarm is raised, the police can arrive at the scene in 7 minutes, and the war police can arrive at the scene in 25 minutes. Should we let the Venom Bees join the battle?" The subordinate knew very well what 25 minutes meant, and their reserve force, the Venom Bee Squad, was the only force that could be deployed to the battlefield.

Casey said decisively: "No, let the poisonous bees patrol outside the perimeter, and the others prepare to evacuate this mission."

The subordinate asked, "Just ignore them?"

Casey replied, "Never mind." There must be a traitor in his own team or in the superior supervisor of the monitoring operation, so that the other party could know the plan in advance, use the fake ghost to deceive himself, and then play the trump card at the critical moment.

She knew very well that she was powerless to change the situation.

……

Duanmu said, "It's still two kilometers to the traditional market." After that, he waited for a while and looked at his phone. There was no response from the other end. He looked at the screen carefully and found that the connection was not disconnected.

Duanmu picked up the phone: "Hello, hello..." No response.

Duanmu called Hailan's phone to monitor Casey, but the call was not connected. Duanmu looked out the window. It was normal outside. There were pedestrians on both sides of the road and bicycles on the non-motorized vehicle lane. There were not many people, but not too few. There was a pedestrian walking and talking on the phone with a sweet smile.

Cui Jian asked, "What's wrong?"

"The signal is bad." Duanmu looked ahead and saw the traditional market, with Line 3 on the left and Line 4 on the right. He said, "I want to go to the traditional market to buy something."

Cui Jian looked at Duanmu, and Duanmu said, "Something is strange, and I'm a little hungry." He indicated that there was a problem, but not to alarm Shi Hao, after all, this guy was an ordinary person.

The car stopped at the roadside of the traditional market, and the four people got out of the car, looked around, and found that everything was fine. Duanmu walked into the market with his mobile phone in hand, making calls non-stop.

The entrance to the market is a 5-meter-wide road with shops on both sides, mostly restaurants. Due to time issues, many shops were closed for lunch. There were also very few people visiting the market, very sparse.

Duanmu kept making calls. Cui Jian followed Duanmu one meter behind. Duanmu saw a girl who looked like a student coming from the opposite side. The girl was talking on the phone with a smile on her face and was talking happily. But when the girl was five meters away from Duanmu, her smile disappeared. She picked up the phone and looked at it. She called a few times, looked at the screen again, muttered, turned off the screen, and put the phone away.

Duanmu looked at an uncle at the edge of a shop on the side. Since they approached the market, the uncle had been following the group. The uncle also noticed Duanmu looking at him, and immediately drew his gun, then fell in a pool of blood. The person who fired the gun was Cui Jian, and when the gunshot rang out, there was a cry of surprise from the surroundings.

Cui Jian immediately retreated: "Retreat."

As soon as he turned around, Cui Jian saw three vans coming from a distance. Cui Jian immediately said to Gui Yi, "Let's go, follow them."

Gui Yi grabbed Shi Hao's collar and trotted after Cui Jian and Duanmu. Duanmu still tried to contact the outside world. Ten meters away from the uncle's body, Duanmu called Casey, but the call was disconnected the next second.

Duanmu didn't know what was going on, but Casey immediately learned from his subordinates that the two base stations around the traditional market were shut down, and the surrounding area was in a state of no mobile signal unless a satellite phone or landline phone was used.
