Chapter 48 He has secrets

In the end, Lao Hui, I, and the bodyguards chasing us were all surrounded by the police. I don’t know what Xiaobei said, or whether the local police station was pressured from above, but this time three police cars and more than a dozen police officers were dispatched to arrest Lao Hui and me, and also to arrest the bodyguards.

Lao Hui and I were handcuffed in full view of everyone and taken away in the police car. We looked so miserable that people who didn’t know us thought we were some big criminals.

We were put in the first car, a Santana, and left first. As for Lu Fanming’s bodyguards, the police were still arresting them. They probably had too much confidence in themselves. When I was being taken to the police car, I saw that those people didn’t resist much and didn’t run away.

The police car left with a whistling sound, leaving a crowd of onlookers behind. By this time, we had already been delayed for seven or eight minutes, which meant that it had been seven or eight minutes since Lu Fanming had left.

As soon as I and Lao Hui got into the car, a police officer-looking man enthusiastically opened the handcuffs for us and said, “I didn’t expect you two to be so young, but you turned out to be secret agents. Don’t worry, we will definitely abide by discipline and keep this strictly confidential.”

Laohui rubbed his wrists and said with a meaningful look, “No matter what pressure you have, you’d better try your best to keep those bodyguards in custody for a day, so as to avoid the possibility of them informing on you. No matter what you do, you’d better get those people to cooperate with you, and tell Lu Fanming that we are serious criminals and have been taken into custody by the police, and that they are fine.”

The police officer hurriedly agreed. This was the style of work of Lao Hui, who was meticulous and thorough, and had actually bought enough time for our operation. After all, Lu Fanming was a cautious and suspicious person, and it would be difficult to find another opportunity besides this one.

I was too lazy to say anything, and I just said, “Drive the car straight ahead. Faster…”

On the road, I directed the car all the way, while the officer asked cautiously, “Gentlemen, is this a serious case for you?”

According to the rules, he was not allowed to ask, but our two departments were special, and sometimes it was necessary to use this seemingly casual inquiry to spread false information. So Lao Hui said very seriously, “This is a very serious smuggling case. I can’t say more, and you shouldn’t ask too much!”

Fortunately, Luo didn’t lose the bug’s trail. We followed it smoothly all the way, but because the police car was too conspicuous, we switched to a sedan halfway through. The bug’s reaction was obvious.

It followed us all the way to an ordinary residential building, and the bug started spinning in place. The spiky appendages made my arm itch, and it was uncomfortable, but I didn’t dare to take it off.

This is the characteristic of this bug. When another bug is very close to it, within 30 meters, and does not move, this bug will become agitated and spin around in place.

The one on Luo Fanming’s body should be fine too, because I had secretly put the juice that Ru Yue gave me on the leg of his pants. It was just a small puddle, and it would never climb onto Luo Fanming and make him aware of it.

I and Lao Hui had already taken advantage of the break between shifts to change into different styles of clothes, remove the camouflage, put on a mustache, wear a pair of glasses, and change the color of our skin. Such a small change was like changing a person.

The bugs were still crawling restlessly. Lao Hui leaned back in his chair and said, “It says that this Lu Fanming has been more active recently, and there have been many signals intercepted between him and the higher-ups. It’s just that their anti-bugging technology is too good, and they can’t eavesdrop on anything specific. And his whereabouts are becoming more and more difficult to grasp. I hope we can get to the bottom of it today, and he will take action.”

I said with confidence, “He should have ‘activities’ every day recently.”

“Are you basing this on the information?” Lao Hui asked with some confusion. He didn’t know why I was so sure.

“Oh, no, don’t you know that I am a genius with a strong sense of intuition?” I held my head and leaned back in my chair, saying it casually.

“Pah.” Lao Hui spat at me, and pretended to ignore me as he drove. But at that moment, a shadowy figure sneaked out of the building, quickly jumped into a car, and then the car lights came on and the sound of the engine came.

Lao Hui suddenly sat up straight and said to me, “Chen Chengyi, hurry up and drive.”

“What for?” I looked at him.

“That car is one of the three cars that Lu Fanming often uses. Don’t you want to follow it?” Lao Hui looked at me like an idiot.

“That person is not Lu Fanming.” I said in a bad mood.

“Are you judging by your intuition?” Lao Hui looked at me with a very strange look.

“No, it’s this!” I raised my arm and pointed at the bug that was still spinning restlessly in the center of the “绫�” pattern.

“I…” Lao Hui angrily slapped his forehead, probably feeling that he had been fooled by me and was annoyed that he had made such a low-level mistake!

But at that moment, another person came out of the building, carrying a bag of things. He was in a hurry, but instead of heading to the parking lot, he looked around, then decisively walked towards the side of the road.

This person did not initially attract the attention of Lao Hui and me. He was mainly taller than Lu Fanming, looked thinner, and had a beard on his face, which was a far cry from Lu Fanming’s honest and simple appearance.

In fact, the most clever makeup is not a change in the face, but a change in the body. It is normal that Lao Hui and I did not notice it, but in fact, there is no way to change height and body shape. Insoles can make people taller, and wrapping something in clothes can also make people look fatter.

However, people often have blind spots, and they only pay attention to people’s faces and miss changes in their figures. Lao Hui and I have such a blind spot at first glance.

You see, a full beard can cover up a person’s appearance.

So, Lao Hui and I only glanced at him briefly and didn’t pay much attention. After looking around, he walked to the side of the road, whistled happily, fixed the package in his hand on a motorcycle, and then straddled the motorcycle and left.

After he left, several cars started up one after another. After that, I suddenly slapped the steering wheel and yelled, “This Luo Fanming has already left!”

“Ah? When did he leave?” Lao Hui was puzzled again. How could I say that Lu Fanming had left again?

“It was the man on the motorcycle. As soon as he rode away a certain distance, the bug on my arm immediately reacted. This Lu Fanming is too cunning.” I said angrily.

No one would feel good in the face of such an ‘enemy’, because at any time there is a feeling of being played.

“Wait a minute and follow him. Motorcycles are too agile. It’s no fun to follow him too closely in a car. Besides, so many cars started at the same time, probably to keep a lookout for Lu Fanming in all directions. This time I have a feeling that Lu Fanming is going somewhere extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a special effort to disguise himself and have so many people help monitor him!” Lao Hui frowned and said.

“He has a big secret,” I said with clenched teeth. I always felt that I had an inexplicable anger towards this person. Ever since I saw him pick up that bag, I couldn’t say why!

After a long wait of more than a minute, and after the car I had just started had driven a certain distance, I started the car and drove out of the relatively hidden location where we had been.

These days, it’s hard to be a Taoist priest, and it’s even harder to be an agent! I suddenly felt that I no longer admired 007. It was definitely not true that an agent could be so handsome. Under normal circumstances, agents should be driven crazy in private, right?

With the guidance of the bug, our tracking was still smooth. It was only after the car had been driving for more than ten minutes that I braked and slammed the steering wheel again in anger, looking at the road ahead.

This time, not only me, but even the usually calm Lao Hui was not calm. He swore at me, because at this time we were already in the suburbs, and the road in front of us was a forked road, which was equivalent to the kind of cement road built in the village. It was very narrow, and at most two cars could pass by in parallel. Moreover, we clearly saw a car parked not far ahead, one of the cars that had just followed Lu Fanming on the road. It was obviously there to monitor us.

If we drive in so recklessly, we’ll be exposing our target!

What can we do now? If Lu Fanming has gone more than five kilometers away, the bug will lose its effect. I hope he hasn’t gone too far!
