Chapter 538 Big Manhunt
Chapter 538 Big Manhunt
The couple, who were tempted by the wealth, looked at the unconscious Ye Feng with their eyes shining, as if they were looking at a mountain of gold and silver.
After carrying the man into the house, the man helped Ye Feng clean up. He said worriedly, "Wife, this guy escaped death and rushed out. He is covered in wounds and has lost most of his life. His enemies will not let it go until they get their benefits. What if those enemies come looking for him?"
The mean-looking woman smiled disdainfully, "This is easy. Just hide the person so that no one can find him."
The man asked, "The village is so small, how can we hide a living person?"
The woman said, "Have you forgotten that we dug two cellars? One cellar is for food, and the other is extremely hidden. Even the villagers don't know about it. If we put people in the hidden cellar, who can find them?"
Afterwards, Ye Feng was carried into a small cellar, which was considered a treasure room. Almost all of the couple's valuables were placed inside, including many valuable antiques.
After years of war, many landlords and wealthy people were wiped out, and the couple also made a lot of money during the chaos.
"Master, we should do whatever we should do next. We must not let the villagers see anything unusual."
The woman continued to instruct:
"If any outsider enters the village, we will kill him in one swoop. We have never seen this guy before."
The man said, "Don't worry, I, Qin Gou'er, will never have a problem with money."
Most of the day passed, and before dusk, a team of twenty people appeared from the east end of the village.
The leader this time was Huang Gou, a top agent with an extraordinary intuition. He brought a team into the village. Without saying a word, he immediately asked everyone to gather at the entrance of the village. After everyone was gathered, he immediately sent people to search house by house.
"Look carefully, I have a feeling that the underground party member Ye Feng is probably hiding in a hidden place in the village."
Huang Gou personally led the team to search, but two hours later, it was already dark, and they still found nothing.
"Is there something wrong with my intuition?"
The yellow dog walked back to the village with a gloomy face, looking sharply at all the villagers, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Has there been an injured stranger entering the village since noon?"
"Do you have?"
This time, the yellow dog released an absolute aura, overwhelming the entire audience, while also carefully observing the changes in everyone's facial expressions.
Reading people's expressions is also one of the skills of top agents.
Many people at the scene looked confused, staring at each other, their expressions were mostly confusion, fear, and anxiety...
"Bring that guy out." The yellow dog pointed with his big hand.
Qin Gou'er was dragged to the front, and he was trembling with fear.
"Sir, I, I don't know. I was drinking since early morning and was lying at home drunk. I didn't go anywhere."
At this time, Qin Gou'er's face was indeed red, he reeked of alcohol, and he was staggering as he stood there.
"Come here, go search Qin Gou'er's house again." Huang Gou gave the order. His intuition told him that Ye Feng's whereabouts might be related to Qin Gou'er. Soon the agent came back and shook his head at Huang Gou.
After all, Qin Gou'er's house only had three thatched huts, a very small place, and the search was over in just a few steps.
After some thought, Huang Gou took the special agents away and headed for another village not far away.
Not long after, the Japanese also arrived.
This area was already under the control of the Japanese last year. I don't know how many times they have looted it. This time, they didn't steal people for money or kill people, nor did they harm the girls in the village. They just left after a quick search.
"Who do you think is this stranger they are looking for?"
"Who knows? The Yamashiro agents are here, and the Japanese spies are here too, and they look very anxious. I'm afraid that stranger is not an ordinary person."
"The one who caused both forces to rush to search for him must be some high-ranking official!"
"Even if he is not a high-ranking official, he is still an influential figure. Perhaps, he could be a wealthy man who is as rich as a country!"
"That's right. Only someone with a lot of wealth on him could attract a hunt by both forces."
"That's none of our business, just go home."
"Yes, there are only so many people in our village. If a stranger really came in, it would be impossible for us not to know."
"Look back, everyone keep your eyes open and don't let strangers sneak in."
"Hey, if that stranger was really in our village, those crazy Shancheng agents and Japanese spies might really go on a killing spree."
"I hope everything is safe and sound!"
……
At this time, Qin Gou'er, with the help of his wife, quickly returned to his home.
As soon as they entered the house, they both exhaled deeply and collapsed to the ground as if they had survived a disaster.
"Wife, how about we just hand that guy over?" Qin Gou'er said.
"No."
The woman lowered her voice and said, "That man is a time bomb. If others don't know about his existence, the two of us can still survive. But if the Shancheng agents and the Japanese spies know about it, will we still be able to survive?"
The woman knew very well that Ye Feng must have some big secret that he couldn't tell anyone!
Is it possible for ordinary people to know such a secret?
In the eyes of those spies who kill without blinking an eye, only the dead can keep secrets.
So at this point in time, they had to protect Ye Feng no matter what.
"Never mind. As the old saying goes, a horse cannot get fat without overnight grass, and a man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth. Let's give it a try. If we succeed, we will live a prosperous and prosperous life for the rest of our lives." Qin Gou'er's face turned grim and he made up his mind.
The woman slowly got up and said, "You keep an eye on him outside. I'll go in to check on him, get him some water to drink, and change some herbs for him. He can't die. It affects our prosperity in the next life."
And just like that, a night passed.
For the next day, Qin Gou'er and his wife spent their time in anxiety, fearing that secret agents would come to their door.
After nightfall.
After searching the twelfth village, top agent Yellow Dog and other agents all looked dejected.
After a day and night of hunting, not a single hair was found.
Many people are confused.
Where is the seriously injured Ye Feng hiding?
When they lit a bonfire and had dinner outdoors, the yellow dog still had a thoughtful and serious expression on his face.
"We have a large number of personnel deployed on the periphery of the three surrounding towns. We can confirm that Ye Feng did not enter the town."
"There are five bandit dens. Our insider sent us a message saying that no strangers have entered the village recently."
"We haven't found anything unusual in these twelve villages. Now it seems that the only suspicious point is the guy named Qin Gou'er. His behavior and demeanor were very wrong at the time!"
Huang Gou’s meaning is very simple. After eliminating all possibilities, the only remaining doubt is the correct answer.
Then he turned his head and looked, his eyes were extremely sharp, and asked, "You searched Qin Gou'er's house twice, isn't there anything unusual?"
One of the subordinates replied, "No, there are only three thatched houses and a cellar. The house is in a mess and very poor."
wrong!
Huang Gou's face changed in shock. "Damn it, we were deceived by that little gangster. Ye Feng, the underground party member, must be in his house."
