Chapter 409 Big Silver Safe House

Cui Jian took Ed's phone from the bar, took out a tablet from his backpack, and connected it via a data cable. Shengzi: "Connection successful, you can go now, leave your things here."

Cui Jian asked: "Is this okay?"

Shengzi: “Aren’t they all dead?”

Cui Jian: “Oh.” He raised his hand and fired, killing the landlord and left.

Cui Jian left his self-built house and got into a car parked on the side. Shengzi sat in the back seat. Cui Jian did not take off his disguise, after all, he still had to deal with the cameras.

The car drove out of the residential area of ​​self-built houses, and Shengzi said, "That's right, they were hired by the Avengers. Shall we check?"

Cui Jian asked: "What are you checking?"

Shengzi asked: "Why do the Avengers and the police think Duanmu is Yueyao?"

Cui Jian replied: "I think the Knights will handle this matter. Within three days, Duanmu will be able to show up openly. The next target: Cui Min. While they are colluding with the bandits, kill as many as possible. Since they don't follow the rules, they must accept the backlash of the rules."

Shengzi said: "Cui Min's family is in Seoul. They rented a small apartment in Hancheng, about 300 meters away from the police station. Isn't it ironic? The purpose of their tearing off the disguise is just to catch Duanmu."

Cui Jian asked: "Where do you think Duanmu will hide?"

Before Shengzi could answer, her phone vibrated and she said, "Two-headed dog... Hello, it's on, Yueyao and I are together."

The two-headed dog said, "What happened in Hancheng is a bit serious."

Cui Jian asked: "How old?"

Two-headed dog: "The intelligence information is fragmented and difficult to connect together. But it can be seen that this matter involves Luke, Luke's only student Xingye, the Avengers, the Knights, and Ice Thorns. The core member is Xingye. Based on some of the information I have interpreted, I think Xingye wants to capture Duanmu and make Duanmu admit that the Knights are closely connected with the Seven Killers. And then label the Knights as a terrorist organization."

Cui Jian said: "No one would believe this one-sided story, right?"

The two-headed dog said: "Han Guobingci has a piece of evidence. We don't know the content of the evidence yet. I think if the evidence is combined with Duanmu's confession, it is possible to achieve our goal."

Cui Jian asked: "What evidence?"

The two-headed dog said, "I'm not sure, I just know that it was evidence provided by Bing Ci. In addition, the Korean Chief Prosecutor and the Director of Public Security have seen this evidence, which gave Cui Min great authority and required the Korean police to cooperate with Cui Min's work. On the other hand, this evidence is not ironclad, and Duanmu's confession is needed to complete the evidence."

Cui Jian asked: "What actions are the Knights taking?"

Two-Headed Dog: "The Knights are also investigating what the evidence is. Judging from the current situation, the authorities will not release the evidence soon until Duanmu is arrested or falls into the hands of criminals. In addition, when they arrested Duanmu, they used criminals instead of police officers, which shows that they intend to torture him into confessing."

Two-headed dog: "The current situation is unclear, and Cui Min cannot be killed for the time being. We are collecting evidence and will release the Ice Spike target in the near future. It means that because the Ice Spike is colluding with armed gangsters, the current Ice Spike members will be included in the target list."

Cui Jian said: “More than a hundred people.” After decades, the target has only been issued to No. 52. Are you sure you want to add more than a hundred people at once?
Two-headed dog: "Kill a few of them when you are bored, and ignore them when you have something important to do."

Cui Jian said: "Okay."

Two-headed dog: "In addition, if Duanmu needs help, you can provide appropriate assistance. After all, he is our ally's special envoy. Even if we can't save him, we must show our attitude and tell our allies: we tried our best."

Cui Jian: “Understood.”

After the call ended, Shengzi said: "Then..."

Cui Jian: “Proceed as usual.”

Shengzi: "The two-headed dog said that Choi Min cannot be killed for the time being."

Cui Jian: "Just treat it as a fart."

……

Cui Min worked until the early hours of the morning before returning home. He drove into the underground parking lot of the rented apartment, opened the door and walked out to stretch his aching body. As soon as he took a step, a bullet pierced his knee and he fell to the ground involuntarily.

Cui Min did not consider his personal safety. According to his logic, at least for the time being, no one would bother him. All the members of the Knights in Korea were under control, and Duanmu was on the run. These people were busy cleaning up their messes and had no time to deal with him. Besides, if they wanted to deal with him, they would use legal means to clear Duanmu's suspicion. Killing him would only add fuel to the fire and would not do any good.

Choi Min believed that the Knights would settle the score later. But he didn't believe that the Knights would kill him now. This also led to him not taking any security measures against himself.

Cui Jian came over wearing a faceless male mask, ignoring Cui Min's hateful eyes, and emptied the magazine at Cui Min on the ground. A car just drove by, Cui Jian opened the door and got in, and Shengzi, who was also wearing a faceless male mask, drove away.

Cui Jian used Shengzi's mobile phone to make a call: "Hello, the underground parking lot of XX apartment building needs emergency medical treatment."

Cui Jian hung up the phone and said to Shengzi, "I'm good and obedient, right?"

Shengzi smiled but said nothing.

Cui Jian did not kill Cui Min, but after 20 bullets, his hands and feet were basically disabled. Cui Jian was kind-hearted, otherwise he would have made Cui Min speechless and deaf. The reason for doing this was one: the two-headed dog said that he could not be killed for the time being, but he could not stop his rebellion. The second reason: the gangsters this guy colluded with almost took his life.

Cui Jian said: "It can also be considered as helping Duanmu." This is the third reason.

Shengzi suddenly realized: "The main reason you killed Aide and destroyed Cui Min was to protect Duanmu."

Cui Jian said: "Publicly speaking, he is the confidant of the leader of the Knights and the special envoy of the Raincoat Man. Privately speaking, he still owes me a Heavenly Hero Card. It will not do me any good if anything happens to him."

Shengzi was in charge of dealing with the car and the pistol, while Cui Jian changed into his own clothes and went home. After Xueying had experienced the gunfight a few days ago, although she was still mentally strong, she was taken home by Yun Xinyue to receive treatment from a psychologist. Cui Jian was left alone in the villa again. Cui Jian had been busy with police and killing people these days, and had only returned home once. It was not that Cui Jian was so busy, but that Cui Jian felt that Duanmu had nowhere to go, so he could hide in his own home. Although there was no secret room or safe, as long as he did not go home, the police would not stake out his home to catch Duanmu.

After I got home, I took a shower and fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, I found that I didn’t comb my hair before going to bed, so now my hair is like a mess. I had to wash my hair again, after all, I have a girlfriend.

After washing up, Cui Jian went downstairs to prepare the ingredients for lunch. Everything went according to plan, as if what was happening outside had nothing to do with him.

Li Ran called first and informed that the Knights had hired a lawyer to sue the South Korean Ministry of Justice. Several countries protested against South Korea's arrest of their citizens and demanded an explanation from South Korea.

As a result, the evidence held by the South Korean police surfaced.

The process was not explained in detail, but the general idea was that they discovered that Qi Sha's finances were abnormal, and then through investigation, they discovered the source of funds. They pursued step by step and found the communication information of the Suo Yi Ke. They didn't know it was the Suo Yi Ke, but only knew that he was the person who sent money to Qi Sha. The person who had the Suo Yi Ke's communication information was none other than the Suo Yi Ke's special envoy Duanmu.

During the half-month trip of Cui Jian, Duanmu's dome plan was further developed, and he killed another target to plunder his wealth. It was at this time that Bingci secretly investigated Duanmu. Through eavesdropping, they obtained a lot of information, such as target No. XX and where the body was. Through a few words, they were sure that Duanmu killed target No. XX, so Duanmu was naturally the Seven Killers.

The evidence they produced seemed to prove that Duanmu was related to Qi Sha's finances and the death of target No. XX. However, they only got Duanmu's voice from the wiretap, not the voice of the two-headed dog, which was not legally valid. Therefore, they needed Duanmu's confession.

It should have been a smooth process, but Duanmu managed to escape despite being surrounded, which caused their plan to fail. In addition, Ed was killed and Cui Min was seriously injured, which caused the Ice Thorn operation to fall into a brief chaos. After the Knights investigated the matter, they immediately took up legal weapons to fight back.

Duanmu, who had not been seen for many days, went to the police station accompanied by American embassy staff, journalists and lawyers. He was not sent to the interrogation room but to the visiting room.

Two hours later, Hai Lan and the others were released, and Duanmu then left the police station openly. As the leader of the Knights, Letty hired Cui Jian and Gui Yi to protect Duanmu's safety. Therefore, Duanmu was taken away by Cui Jian and Gui Yi as soon as he left the police station.

Due to investigation needs, the passports of more than ten people including Hailan and Duanmu were confiscated and they are temporarily unable to leave the country. Even if they want to leave Hancheng, they need to apply to the Hancheng Police Station.

……

Cui Jian and Gui Yi took Duanmu away and intended to ask him about the situation, but Duanmu did not give them a chance and was either making or receiving calls in the car.

Cui Jian heard some bad news. Affected by this incident, the US officials are investigating Duanmu. They believe that Duanmu is likely to be a powerful supervisor of the Special Service Knights, rather than a senior henchman as they had previously defined. The purpose of investigating Duanmu is to find out whether Duanmu gave his US dollars to Qi Sha.

In addition, Ice Thorn submitted an application for authorization to investigate the whereabouts of all the targets' estates after they were killed. To this end, they proposed a hypothesis: the Seven Killers were not as noble as they said, and their purpose in killing the targets was to plunder their estates. The Special Service Knights were just a subsidiary unit of the Seven Killers, responsible for handling the targets' estates.

Letty has been drinking tea at the judicial institution these days. On the surface, the Special Service Knights is a global intermediary company, and its registered business is to help others deal with things. For example, looking for sunken ships, looking for the bones of ancestors on a Pacific island, and looking for relatives who have not seen each other for decades. The company has not received any business in the past few months since it opened. Letty said that she likes to help others, and she will insist on running the company even if it loses money.

As mentioned earlier, the intelligence system of the Special Service Knights accounted for 70% of the strength of the entire Knights. The old butler Dolan led the intelligence elite to sort out the fragmented data, trace the source, and piece together the basic outline of this incident from transactions and photos.

Duanmu's villa was being partially renovated under the arrangement of the housekeepers, and Duanmu went to meet them first. The housekeepers were very excited to see Duanmu, but they still kept the etiquette and greeted him, and did not let Duanmu hug them.

Duanmu told them that he had arranged bodyguards from Dayin Security Department 2 to be responsible for the safety of the villa and supervise the renovation work.

Duanmu's team left after saying this, and exchanged vehicles with Jinying who came to deliver the car. The vehicle drove to a small villa area in the suburbs of the west city with an occupancy rate of only 30%. There was a safe house under Dayin Security here.

This was the first time that Duanmu's team had been to the company's safe house. The decoration of the safe house was directed by Li Ran. It was a semi-buried building. On the surface, it only had one floor, but in fact, there were three floors underground. The design of the bottom floor was based on the standards of the Doomsday Fortress. It would only be used when encountering a powerful S-level enemy. Once you hide in it, you have no other choice but to wait for rescue. The supplies inside can support four people for 15 days.

The negative 2nd floor is a circular bunker-like structure. If you encounter a strong A-level enemy, you can use the bunker and terrain to fight the enemy. There is also a machine control room inside, which can spray strong acid and even fuse poison gas.

The negative 1 floor is a security zone, where the situation around the villa can be monitored through surveillance.

The first floor is the living area, which includes a kitchen, dining room, etc.

The overall villa structure is in the shape of a comma, with the dot being the villa and the tail being the road. Outside the enclosure are birch trees and shrubs, and it is equipped with motion and infrared sensing alarms. Razor wire and animal traps are hidden in the bushes.

The three of them frowned when they saw the safe house villa. What they disliked most was the five-meter-high wall that was flush with the first floor. The wall was surrounded by barbed wire and connected to high voltage electricity. It looked like a prison rather than a villa. Cui Jian thought of the target rats living in the sewers. Their living environment should be similar to this place.

Li Ran was waiting at the door. Seeing the expressions of the three people, he said unhappily, "I am the design director of the safe house. It is no exaggeration to say that even two teams of Navy SEALs cannot hurt you."

Cui Jian: "No wonder it looks like a trench."

Li Ran ignored him and opened the trunk of the van, which contained a batch of supplies.

Li Ran said: "These are your food for three days. I will arrange for someone to deliver them to you when the time comes. Don't go out easily."

When we walked into the safe house, we found it was very clean and tidy, with all kinds of utensils. Cui Jian helped sort the food and put some of it into the refrigerator.

While Gui Yi was making tea, Li Ran said, "This matter is not over yet. Officer Cui Min was attacked, which led to the Korean police being united against the enemy. If you are really attacked, don't expect the police to come quickly."

Duanmu explained: "I can swear, it wasn't us who did it."

Li Ran asked, "Where's Ed?"

Duanmu said: "I can also swear that it was not us who did it."

Li Ran asked: "Do I look like a fool?"

Duanmu sighed, yes, how to explain it? Ed is the gangster leader hired by the Avengers, and Cui Min is the leader of Bing Ci in South Korea. If something happened to the two of them during this period, who would believe that it had nothing to do with the Special Service Knights?

Me, I believe it. Cui Jian casually cut some fruit and handed it over, saying, "Manager Li, the knives are too bad. Please help me get a set of Zwilling."

Li Ran chuckled, then stopped smiling and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. Duanmu, what's going on?"
