Siheyuan, my new life

The captain waved his hand and immediately led three team members to chase after them in the dark. The team members who had experienced the medicinal bath could definitely run faster than professional athletes. In addition, due to the night, the two guys did not ride their bicycles very fast, so the four of them easily followed them from a distance.

It was obvious that the two people on the bicycles were quite familiar with the surrounding environment. They successfully avoided the security team patrolling at night and skillfully traveled through the alleys.

More than 20 minutes later, two bicycles stopped at the gate of a courtyard with two entrances. The two riders got off the bicycles and habitually looked back. Not finding anything unusual, they opened the gate, pushed the bicycles into the yard, and then locked the gate directly from the inside.

A few minutes later, four members of the action team appeared silently in front of the courtyard.

The captain made a gesture to the team members, and everyone quickly split up and surrounded the courtyard to check it out.

After a while, several people gathered at the gate of the courtyard again. The captain led everyone to a corner not far away, and everyone reported in a low voice what they had observed.

Both sides of the courtyard are empty houses, all in a dilapidated state, with no one living there. The team members near the back window said that they could vaguely hear at least five or six people talking in the house, and they mentioned that the mountains were in a hurry and they needed to send the stored things over quickly so as not to delay their use.

The captain whispered a few words to the team members, then left two team members to hide and continue monitoring, and quickly returned to the team with another team member.

After listening to reports from all sides, Xiong Qingshan, who was stationed at the Security Department's training base, immediately arranged for follow-up personnel to take food and thick cotton clothes and act separately. These guys must be closely monitored tonight. From the team members' reports, Xiong Qingshan has realized that these guys who steal scrap parts are not simple, and are definitely not ordinary thieves. They are most likely related to enemy spies.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy and catch them all in one fell swoop, Xiong Qingshan ordered each team to monitor from a distance and absolutely not to alert the other side.

At this time, Xiong Qingshan couldn't help but feel fortunate. If the secretary hadn't noticed some clues, he and his people would have been extremely embarrassed. They had actually allowed a group of enemy spies to obtain special steel parts from the steel mill under their noses. If a major case occurred, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this time, in the study room of the courtyard house at No. 98 Nanluoguxiang, Lin Yu smiled and nodded. He was paying close attention to the action team's every move through his spiritual sense. In order to avoid any unexpected situations, he had sent Zhou Huang to pay attention and take action immediately if any accident occurred.

After listening to Zhou Tian’s report about his conversation with that gentleman in Dongtianfudi tonight, Lin Yu returned to his study at home. He wanted to see the true level of this action team he had specially formed.

In fact, today in the scrap parts warehouse, Lin Yu had already used his spiritual sense to figure out the trick.

There was actually a tunnel under the scrap parts warehouse. The exit was a sundries room next to the warehouse keeper's office. The other end of the tunnel was an old warehouse with several泔水桶 piled up behind the cafeteria, three or four hundred meters away.

From the traces of use of the tunnel, it can be concluded that it has existed for many years. Being able to dig such a tunnel between the scrap parts warehouse and the old warehouse behind the canteen, it is obvious that Li Youfu, the original custodian of the scrap parts warehouse, was absolutely aware of it, and it is not ruled out that he was also involved. As for the people who transported swill to the canteen, they were definitely those who specialized in theft and transportation.

Qin Ming had mentioned in his report before that he sent people to visit all the waste material recycling stations in Dongcheng District, but found no one selling various parts to these stations. He even visited various stations in Xicheng District, but still found nothing.

These scrapped parts were all made of special steel. The thieves did not sell them for profit after stealing them, so they obviously had other uses for them.

However, ordinary civilian facilities rarely use special steel, and if these scrapped parts are to be reused, they must be re-melted. Who would go to such great lengths? What would they use them for?

With the tracking operation tonight, the answer began to surface. Just now, Zhou Huang searched the soul of a leader in the courtyard hideout and informed Lin Yu of the intelligence he obtained.

It turned out that there was a small stronghold of Taiwanese spies in Xishan. Not only were there a batch of weapons and ammunition stored there, but there were also thirty or forty enemy spies entrenched there. These enemy spies belonged to the Beijing Station of the Bureau of Secrets. Due to the severe crackdown on enemy spies in Beijing in recent years, many lurking enemy spies were arrested.

The person in charge of the Beijing Station of the Bureau of Secret Affairs gathered a group of his men to a secret base deep in the Western Mountains. This was originally a small mountain village with only seven or eight households. When the Bureau of Secret Affairs selected this place as a secret base, more than 20 villagers here were killed, and then a group of spies were arranged to live here in place of their names.

Later, some guns, ammunition, and various daily necessities were transported here one after another, and this place became an important base of the Bureau of Secrets in Beijing.

The Beijing Station of the Bureau of Secrets has been continuously carrying out various sabotage activities, but with each operation, the originally stored mortars have been basically consumed. After all, after each shelling, it is quite difficult to smoothly evacuate the personnel, and there is no time to take away the relatively heavy mortars.

Although there are still many mortar shells in the secret base, there are only two mortars left.

It is now basically impossible to transport heavy weapons such as mortars into the capital from outside, so the Taiwan Security Bureau specially sent three weapons experts to start manufacturing mortars themselves in a secret base.

In order to manufacture mortars, special steel is first needed, so the Beijing Station of the Bureau of Secrets turned its attention to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

The reason why they did not target the larger Shougang was mainly because most of Shougang's current workers and cadres are retired and transferred military personnel, and the factory's management is quite strict; and since the Red Star Steel Mill was originally a joint public-private venture of the Lou's Steel Mill, the factory retained a large number of former Lou's Steel Mill employees. These people's ideological awareness and vigilance were simply not comparable to those of retired and transferred military personnel. In addition, the former boss of the Lou's Steel Mill, Lou Bancheng, colluded with several current factory leaders to steal and sell special steel materials on a large scale, and the various rules and regulations of the factory were almost in name only.

So after some planning, the Beijing Station of the Bureau of Secrets began its operation at the Red Star Steel Mill.
