Beat the devil with a system

On the way, Li Hong also asked Skinny Monkey about the landlord Qian Shiming.

Qian Shiming is a well-known landlord bully in the local area, and he is also nicknamed Qian Evil Dog.

Landlord Qian Shiming knew many well-known local tyrants and evil gentry and officials, and he also had a security team that was dedicated to defrauding good people.

Therefore, the people in the town are very afraid of him, and it is reasonable for this kind of person to secretly collude with the little devil.

The horse continued to gallop for half an hour, and when it was half a mile away from the town, Li Hong and the others stopped in a forest.

"Skinny monkey, Hu bald, you two take a few brothers to step on a spot near Qian Shiming's house in the town to scout the situation, and we will arrive later."

"clear."

Several soldiers from the security regiment quickly changed into civilian clothes for themselves.

They hid their submachine guns in their bags, dressed as traders from other places, and quickly rode into the town on horseback.

Li Hong and the soldiers of the security regiment dispersed into the town, so as not to be suspicious by the devils and spies.

"Listen, don't be sensitive and nervous when you enter the town. If someone asks what we are here for, just say that the higher-ups sent missions to pass by."

The soldiers nodded one after another, remembering Li Hong's reminder.

After more than ten minutes, Li Hong led the rest of the security regiment soldiers and swaggered into the town on tall horses.

Stone Town is considered to be a relatively concentrated and lively town around Xin County. There are several teahouses and small restaurants lined up on both sides of the street. Hawkers and shopkeepers shouted loudly, and passers-by walked on Qingshi Road in twos and threes.

A tea shed owner was standing on the side of the road to solicit business. He saw Li Hong and his party riding horses from the street, and greeted them warmly.

"Bosses, why don't you come in and have a rest and have a bowl of herbal tea?"

Li Hong reined in the rein and jumped off the horse, and walked into the tea shed by the side of the road. The soldiers of the security regiment tied up the horse and followed into the tea shed.

He vigilantly scanned the chatting crowd and pedestrians on the road. There were so many people of all kinds on the road, even if devils and spies were hidden among them, they would never be able to tell them apart.

"Bosses, why come to this small town when you have time?" the tea shed shop owner asked as if chatting.

A soldier of the security regiment said casually, "We have a mission to pass by, so we will leave immediately after resting."

The shopkeeper didn't ask any more questions, but quietly watched the soldiers of the security regiment.

While the shopkeeper was pouring tea just now, Li Hong noticed calluses on the shopkeeper's palm, index finger and tiger's mouth.

Such calluses on the palm of his hand indicate that he is a person who has been playing with knives and guns all year round, so he is suspicious of the shopkeeper.

In order to test whether there was really a problem with the store, Li Hong pulled out the pistol in the holster, pretended that the gun had misfired, and fired a shot at the corner where no one was around.

"Snapped!"

When pedestrians around heard the gunshots, they immediately ran away in panic, or bent down to avoid it.

But the shopkeeper didn't show a trace of panic. Instead, he subconsciously touched his waist and made a skillful movement similar to drawing a gun.

"Damn it, this broken gun keeps going off!"

"Hey, boss, put the gun away quickly, don't hurt anyone, I'm afraid to tremble when I see this thing."

The shopkeeper said pretending to be panicked, and then, he took off the towel that was draped over his shoulders, and threw it purposefully towards the side of the street a few times, as if signaling some action to someone.

Everything the store showed just now seemed to be nothing weird, but it did not escape Li Hong's keen eyes.

Obviously, there is definitely something wrong with this store!

Chapter 40 Surrounding Devils and Spies

Li Hongdang didn't notice anything, drank a cup of herbal tea, paid the money and took the security guards to leave.

"Brothers, let's go!"

"Bosses, go slowly!"

Li Hong left the tea shed with his men on horseback. They didn't go far, but turned into a secluded alley with no one there.

After they hid in the alley, the bald man and the thin monkey in casual clothes followed closely.

"Did you find anything while staying in front of Qian Shiming's house?"

The thin monkey shook his head, and replied, "Boss, we walked around Qian Egou's compound several times, but we didn't find any sneaky people coming in or out."

"It's strange, the ghost spies are not in Qian Shiming's house to contact the joint, so where will they go?"

Li Hong held his chin, thought for a while quietly, and made a careful analysis and judgment in his heart.

The only possibility is that the two dead ghost spies did not come to Qian Shiming's house on time to meet up.As a senior spy, he is cautious and suspicious, and can smell danger sensitively. It must be that the spy chief of the special high class temporarily changed the contact point.

"Shouhou, you go back and stay near Qian Shiming's house to keep an eye on the movement, and you are bald, you go to monitor the shop at the tea shed at the town street entrance, there is definitely something wrong with that guy, remember to keep an eye out, so you don't get caught."

"Yes, group seat."

The two went out of the alley and started their operations separately.

Li Hong can be sure that if he keeps an eye on that suspicious store, he will definitely gain something.

Shopkeepers rely on tea sheds to solicit passing business, in fact, for the sake of being well-informed and convenient for inquiring about all kinds of information. This is a necessary means for spies to obtain information.

After waiting in the secluded alley for half an hour, I saw that Hu bald man was walking towards the alley mysteriously.

Along the way, Hu Tudan was extra careful, carefully observing the surroundings behind him, to prevent anyone from following him, and then he ran into the alley to report to Li Hong.

"Boss, you are amazing. There really is something wrong with that shopkeeper. I followed him just now and found that the shopkeeper sneaked into an old warehouse in a back alley, and he even chatted with the warehouseman. A few words from devils, I can understand a romper, and Yoshi..."

According to various signs, the gang of devils and spies may be hiding in the old warehouse.

"Everyone take up arms, let's go!"

Hu Tudan led the way, and Li Hong and the security guards, holding weapons in their hands, quickly walked through the back alleys and headed straight for the warehouse.

After passing through several narrow alleys and alleys, they quietly touched near the outer wall of the warehouse.

The warehouse is surrounded by a one-meter-high bluestone wall, and waist-high weeds are scattered outside the empty warehouse site. This is an old warehouse where idle items are left unattended.

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, Li Hong didn't let the warehouse where the soldiers of the security regiment were leaning too close.

Li Hong scouted around the warehouse for a few minutes, and he told his soldiers about the deployment to attack the warehouse.

"We all understand, Tuanzao."

The soldiers responded in a low voice, and immediately, all of them dispersed and slowly approached under the warehouse wall.
