Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

Chapter 1033 Cat and Mouse Game

Evening, Sun Moon Lake, on the road.

Countless police cars and fire trucks formed a long queue, buzzing and roaring as they rushed to the Three Saints Palace.

Thick smoke billowed around the Three Saints Palace, blocking out the sky and the sun. This once magnificent saint's ashram had now been completely reduced to ashes and rubble.

The secret room where Palace Master Yu was hiding was also buried by dozens of tons of ruins. Unless the Three Saints Palace is rebuilt, it will most likely be difficult to see the light of day again.

Not only had a horrific massacre occurred here, but it had also caused a large-scale wildfire.

The scene was so noisy that most of the Nantou County police and almost all the city's firefighters rushed over. It even alerted the nearby garrison. Of course, reporters who heard about it also came.

About a few kilometers away from Sansheng Palace, in the woods upwind, Du Weiguo squatted on a tree branch like a big bird, watching Xiaoju and the others get into the police truck and go down the mountain, and then they disappeared in a flash.

With dozens of lives lost and two big shots missing, this matter will definitely not end hastily. It’s hard to say what will happen to Xiaoju and the others in the future, but they will definitely be safe for the time being.

This is enough. When this storm passes, Du Weiguo will naturally send someone to arrange them properly.

When he reappeared, Du Weiguo had already arrived in the woods outside the gate of Changguan Temple. After observing carefully for a while and making sure that there was no abnormality, he appeared and walked out.

"First, sir, are you back?"

Wu Chang ran all the way and came up to him panting.

He had been squatting on the eaves of the mountain gate with a telescope to observe the surrounding situation. His eyesight was not bad, and he noticed Du Weiguo as soon as he appeared.

"Well, Impermanence, you go and clean up, and then explain to the masters, let's leave here right away."

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away~"

Wu Chang nodded subconsciously, then suddenly reacted and asked in surprise: "Huh? Sir, where are we going?"

Du Weiguo lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said only two words in a calm tone: "Enter the mountain."

Previously, Du Weiguo went on a killing spree in the Sansheng Palace and the Welfare Institute, all using the unlucky name of Impermanence.

The situation this time has become so big that it is estimated that the entire Nantou County will be subject to the most stringent carpet searches in a short time.

Changguan Temple is not far from Sansheng Palace, only about 20 kilometers away, and it is hidden in the mountains and forests.

As long as the commander's brain is intact, this place must be the focus of investigation. Therefore, he must leave immediately, otherwise he will inevitably drag down several old monks.

At night, in the dense forest about ten kilometers away from Chang Guan Temple, there is no way to reach this point, and there is a cliff ahead.

Wu Chang stopped, wiped his sweat, and asked slightly out of breath: "Sir, where are we going now?"

Du Weiguo did not answer immediately, but compared the topographic map of the bay island in his mind and made quick calculations.

Where to go, this question is a little scratching my head. The location where Du Weiguo and the others are now is called Wandou Mountain, which is a branch of Alishan.

The cliff in front of us leads to Alishan to the north, and Yushan to the south. All the way to the north, crossing the entire Alishan is Taipei City, and the end point in the south is Kaohsiung.

Taipei is prosperous and densely populated, so you can hide out in the city, but inspections must be the most rigorous.

Kaohsiung didn't have such considerations. On the contrary, it was a vast place with few people, but it was very easy for them to be noticed by the three old men with unfamiliar faces gathered together.

"Go north, let's go to Taipei."

Du Weiguo didn't think for too long and made a decision quickly.

After all, Taipei is a huge city with a population of nearly 10 million, with bustling streets and a huge floating population.

Throwing a few people into it is like a few drops of water blending into the vast sea. No matter how strict the search is, trying to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Besides, in the current situation, Wu Chang and Gui Shou are now the most wanted criminals in Bay Island, especially Gui Shou, who is a thorn in the CIA's side and a thorn in the flesh.

It is impossible for the two of them to leave the island in a short time. They must make preparations to hide and live in seclusion for a long time. Based on this, Taipei is the ideal choice.

"Okay, sir."

Wu Chang obeyed Du Weiguo's advice. He had good physical strength, so of course he tightened his backpack and walked away without saying a word.

The little old man Guishou collapsed on the ground and whispered pitifully:

"First, sir, can we rest for a while before we go? My, my legs hurt so much that I really can't bear it anymore."

Guishou was not looking for trouble. Previously at the shipyard, he was stabbed in the thigh by Kim Jong-hoon from North Korea.

Later in the temple, he was severely beaten by Wu Chang. He had just walked on the mountain road for more than two hours in one breath, and now he really couldn't hold on anymore.

"Go to the north! You really can't do anything, you don't eat enough, and you can't walk without walking a few steps. Mad, get up quickly, or I'll kill you!"

Wu Chang didn't even catch Guishou half an eye, and when he saw him working hard, he immediately became furious and jumped over to fuck him.

"No, don't fight, I'll get up, I'll get up~"

As the old saying goes, if you put tofu in brine, one thing will be reduced to another. Guishou is just in awe of Du Weiguo, but he is really afraid of impermanence.

Seeing Wu Chang rushing over with a fierce look, Guishou hurriedly tried to get up, but he hurt his wound and couldn't stand upright, so he sat down again.

Before his butt touched the ground, his neck collar suddenly tightened and Du Weiguo had already pinched him.

The next second, Guishou's entire body left the ground, and was clamped under Du Weiguo's arm like a little chicken.

Seeing this scene, Wu Chang was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out, and his tone became quite irritable:

"Sir, don't let this treacherous old bastard get used to you! He just delays it on purpose~"

Du Weiguo interrupted him calmly:

"Okay, let's set off quickly. Before dawn, we need to reach the Hengping Mountain area and completely escape the scope of Nantou County. Time is limited and impermanent. You go ahead and clear the way."

"Sir, then, let me carry him."

Du Weiguo smiled and teased: "Wuchang, are you doubting my ability?"

At this moment, Du Weiguo was also carrying an extremely heavy mountaineering bag, weighing nearly 60 kilograms. At this time, he was carrying a large living person, with a total load of 200 kilograms less, but he acted extremely relaxed.

Impermanence scratched his head and said with a smile:

"Of course not, sir, it's just that I just think it's too unfair for a big shot like you to do such dirty work."

"Hahaha!"

Du Weiguo was immediately amused by him and laughed loudly. He couldn't help but pat Wuchang on the shoulder and laughed at himself:

"What the hell am I a big shot? I'm just a murderous executioner who specializes in dirty work. Okay, let's go."

At the same time, Taichung Police Station, CIA temporary command center.

Jones, who had always been violent, was acting like a good baby at this moment, and his voice was extremely soft, even with a hint of flattery:

"Boss, since my colleagues in Siam have confirmed that the Evil God himself is in Pattaya, can we withdraw the troops seconded from the surrounding bases?

The scene was a little too noisy, the public was very vocal, the streets were already showing signs of instability, and the authorities were under great pressure. "

Sitting on the sofa opposite Jones was a bald middle-aged white man.

In fact, not only did he have no hair, he also had no eyebrows or beard. His whole head looked like a braised egg with facial features, which was inexplicably funny.

But Jones didn't even show the slightest hint of ridicule, and there was still a hint of fear in his expression.

This weird bald man is called Leonard. He is the director of the CIA's Third Branch and Jones' direct boss. He has just arrived from Hanoi.

In addition to the six directly affiliated offices of the CIA, there are a total of five overseas branches. Among them, the Third Branch oversees the entire South Pacific and Asia-Pacific regions, including Mao Xiong.

After World War II, the Citi Eagle's main imaginary enemies were the Arctic furry bear, the Eastern giant dragon, the Peninsula honey badger, and the ongoing war with Yoonan. Basically, the entire East Asian monster room was within this area.

One can imagine how powerful and energetic the Third Branch led by Leonard must be.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The Third Branch is the largest branch in the entire CIA, and the energy of Leonard, the branch director, is not inferior to that of the deputy director, and even exceeds it in some specific areas.

Moreover, he and Du Weiguo are also old rivals and enemies. The previous murderous attack on Du Weiguo at the Wan Wan Pier on Hong Kong Island was his handiwork.

The one who signed the order and the one who personally did the baiting was Deputy Director Allen Les, but it was Leonard who made the plan, and the specific execution was by his subordinates James and the dead ghost Earl.

In the later period, he also controlled the blockade of the Ryukyu Island chain, including cooperating with the Onmyoji to set up a trap, and sending cuckolds to ambush Du Weiguo.

Now, Allen, James, Earl, and hundreds of cuckolds are all dead, and the grass on the graves has grown very tall.

But Leonard was unscathed, and even Du Weiguo didn't know the existence of his enemy. This shows how deeply this old silver coin is hidden. Leonard didn't speak when he heard Jones' question.

His hawk-like gray-blue eyes just stared at the photo on the coffee table in front of him without blinking.

The photo shows the traces left by Du Weiguo's Jiuyou Lock at Lukang Ship Repair Yard. Trace expert Donald was busy for two days, but in the end he only found three places.

Leonard didn't say anything, and Jones naturally didn't dare to urge him. He could only stand with his hands down as if standing still, waiting patiently.

"Hi~hoo~"

Not knowing how long it took, Leonard suddenly picked up the oxygen mask on the coffee table and took a few deep breaths.

He had narrowly escaped death on the battlefield before, his lungs were severely injured, and he had to carry an oxygen tank with him and take oxygen from time to time.

"Jones, do you think this guy named Ghost Hand has any finished engravings on his hands?"

It wasn't until he took in enough oxygen that Leonard finally spoke. His voice was hoarse, as harsh as a dull knife scraping the bottom of a pot.

Jones was instantly shocked: "Boss, my judgment is correct."

"reason."

Leonard's tone was cold, and no emotion could be heard. However, Jones was not a loser. He had already laid the foundation for this and explained clearly:

"Guishou began to have contact with Kim Jong-hoon of North Korea around February last year, and it has been nearly 2 months since then.

We carefully studied the semi-finished engravings with a face value of 10 yuan that we seized before, and we only started making them three months ago. "

Leonard tapped the oxygen mask with his finger, his tone still calm:

"In other words, this guy had 9 months of blank time before, and it is entirely possible that he has completed the finished engravings of other denominations."

Jones immediately nodded and flattered him slightly: "Yes, the boss is wise, I think so too."

Leonard ignored his flattery, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic:

"Jones, what's going on with that one called Impermanence, and the Three Saints Palace?"

The question changed a bit abruptly, and it was completely irrelevant, but Jones was stunned for only half a second before he came to his senses:

"Wuchang, whose real name is Zhang Ximing, is 25 years old this year. From 59 to 61, he received training from us at the Yuanshan Flower Expo Base.

He injured the instructor during training, so he served his sentence in Taoyuan Prison until 64. After he was released from prison, he became a freelance killer. "

Having said this, Jones concluded:

"This guy has a simple mind and poor emotional management skills. He assassinated Legislator Chen Zhengguang on the street in Taipei a few days ago just because of personal vendetta."

At this point, Jones stopped and looked up at Leonard's face. The latter had a calm expression and waved his hand noncommittally:

"continue."

"Okay, boss."

Leonard's pressure was very strong, and Jones subconsciously licked his dry lips:

"As for the Sansheng Palace and the Welfare Institute, they are the domain of an old liar named Yu Zhengnan. He is proficient in observing words and deeds, but he has deceived many fools who want to live longer, including many political big shots."

"longevity?"

Hearing this, Leonard rarely intervened.

"Uh, yes, boss, to be precise, immortality."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Leonard's eyes suddenly became sharp, with a cold light flashing, as if it could penetrate people's souls.

Jones's eyes suddenly wandered. He looked at each other in a hurry, organized his words slightly, and then said carefully:

"Boss, I investigated him before. This guy is a liar and a pervert. His so-called immortality is just eating people."

"eat human?"

Leonard's tone was calm, without any surprise, and his eyes even returned to calmness, but there was a hint of disappointment.

For the well-informed Leonard, cannibalism was nothing unusual. During World War II, he had seen many more tragic events that were a hundred times darker and more disgusting than this.

Jones secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, he will use the orphanage to collect some disabled children and abandoned children, and then~~"

"Okay, let's get straight to the point."

Leonard had lost his patience with Palace Master Yu's cannibalism and interrupted Jones directly.

This is not Citi's hometown. Besides, even if it is Citi, this kind of thing is not their business, so he naturally doesn't care.

Jones looked stern and immediately summarized concisely:

"Yes, boss. That Wu Chang must have gone to the Three Saints Palace to avoid being wanted. As for killing people and burning mountains, it was probably just a spur-of-the-moment idea."

"Whoo~"

Leonard let out a long breath, and at the same time he probably raised his eyebrows, but since he had no eyebrows, it looked like he just rolled his eyelids:

"Jones, Guishou disappeared in Changhua County, and at the same time, this guy named Wu Chang suddenly appeared in neighboring Nantou County.

He also killed dozens of people and caused such a big fuss. Jones, do you think there is an inevitable connection between these two incidents? "

Jones frowned, thought for a moment, and replied in a deep voice:

"Boss, you mean that it was Wu Chang who kidnapped Guishou?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, Jones, you immediately seal off the entire Nantou County and conduct a blanket search from the outside.

The maximum amount of manpower was invested, and even the jungle area could not be missed. No matter whether it was the ghost hand that was taken away by Impermanence or not, we had to hold this guy down first. "

Leonard curled his lips nonchalantly, and then, with a sharp look in his eyes, he gave the order directly, and his tone suddenly became cold and serious, leaving no room for argument.

Jones immediately stood at attention and replied solemnly: "Yes, I understand, boss, I'll do it right now."

Just as he was about to go out, Leonard stopped him again:

"By the way, let's cancel the island closure order. You can circulate freely on the island, but all routes leaving the island, whether it is a passenger ship or a cargo ship, everyone, every piece of luggage, and every box must be carefully inspected.

As for smuggling ships, they are not allowed to enter the sea. The offshore patrol team and the Wuzhi aircraft formation are on standby to search the offshore 24 hours a day. Once any violators are found, they will be killed regardless of the reason. "

Hearing this murderous order, even the hard-hearted Jones couldn't help but secretly gasp.

With this order, it is not difficult to foresee that the nearest offshore area of ​​the bay island will inevitably be a horrific scene of blood flowing into the river.

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Jones hurried out. Because he said too many words in one breath, Leonard's breathing became rapid and his face turned red.

He quickly picked up the oxygen mask and put it on his face, panting heavily. After a long time, he took a breath and picked up the photo on the coffee table again to look at it.

"Evil God, it must be you. You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. You deliberately showed up in Pattaya, used a submarine to move quickly, and concealed the truth, right?"

As he spoke, he suddenly clenched the photo in his hand into a ball and said harshly to himself:

"As long as a counterfeit banknote appears on the market, I swear, you will regret it forever."

Leonard was really powerful, and he saw through Du Weiguo's tricks keenly, but a wise man would always make mistakes. He still couldn't guess that Du Weiguo would teleport, or he didn't dare to think so.

The next day, at dawn, it was just before dawn.

On the east side of Changlong Kilometer, there is Hengping Mountain, in a dense forest.

Looking at the endless stretch of road in the distance, and the endless convoy of Citi military vehicles meandering as far as the eye can see, even the audacious Wu Chang couldn't help but be speechless.

"Good guy, these pigs are out in force. This is going to be a blanket search. Sir, we were just a hair away. We were trapped in our pockets."

Hengping Mountain is just north of the border of Nantou County. These Citizen soldiers obviously want to start a carpet search southward from here.

He patted his chest that was completely soaked with sweat, muttered with lingering fear, and looked at Du Weiguo with admiration.

He is really convinced by Du Weiguo now. On the one hand, it is because Du Weiguo's accurate judgment and decisive handling made him jump out of the encirclement and blockade without fail.

On the other hand, I traveled 50 kilometers in a straight line overnight in a dense forest environment with almost no roads, and the actual distance was almost 120 kilometers.

He was only carrying about 45 kilograms of weight. He was exhausted at this moment, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and he was so tired that he felt like dying.

Du Weiguo, on the other hand, carried a load of nearly 200 kilograms throughout the entire journey, with a large living person sandwiched between him, but he remained calm and calm, not even breaking a sweat.

At this moment, Du Weiguo was sitting cross-legged on a branch, looking at the Citi military vehicle on the road that was obviously affiliated with Sunit Base, and smiled meaningfully:

"Oh, the commander behind the scenes is very powerful, but the style of this cat-and-mouse game is a bit familiar."
