Siheyuan, my new life

As for those enemy spies, although they are still in a coma, in order to be on the safe side, the team members tied their hands and feet together behind their backs, just like tying the four hooves tightly when slaughtering pigs in the countryside. This makes it convenient for the team members to hold one in each hand.

Qin Ming personally carried two boxes full of valuables and led everyone down the mountain. After everyone walked out of the valley, Zhang Shangwu smiled and said to the comrades in the relevant departments: "You comrades in the relevant departments are experienced after all. You will lead the next search. Each comrade will lead four team members to search all the stone houses here again to avoid omissions."

In fact, just now at the foot of the mountain, Qin Ming specifically asked Captain Jiang to arrange for comrades who are good at searching to stay and find out whether there are any items hidden in the stone houses in the small valley that have been occupied by enemy spies from the Beijing Branch of the Bureau of Secrets for many years that the action team members have not discovered. After all, these action team members have never had any similar training before.

The comrades from the relevant departments agreed and immediately took action separately. In fact, these people were in complicated moods. Now it was finally their turn to show their talents. Everyone was suddenly enthusiastic and immediately started searching from the outermost stone houses on the left and right sides towards the middle area one by one.

As expected, we have to admit that everyone has their own expertise. When the comrades from the relevant departments walked into the first stone house on the left, they just looked carefully for a few seconds, pointed at the bricks on the ground in front of the stove and said, "Comrade Xiao Song, please pry these bricks open."

Deputy Director Xiong has just instructed that all team members who are following the comrades from relevant departments in the search work must honestly follow them and learn carefully today. They must obey orders in everything, and in the presence of orders from the comrades from relevant departments, all manual and physical work must be left to the action team members.

The team member called Xiao Song did not hesitate at all. He pulled out a sharp dagger from his calf strap, bent down and pried up a blue brick that was originally level with the mud floor in the stone house. The next few bricks were even easier. After just a few minutes, all six bricks were pried open. In the center below these bricks, a small package wrapped in oil paper appeared in front of everyone.

The four members of the action team couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Look at the comrades from the relevant departments. They only took a few glances after entering the room and were able to determine that there was something under the blue bricks.

The comrades from the relevant departments unwrapped the oil paper and explained to everyone: "According to the intelligence we have now, the Beijing branch of the Bureau of Secrets massacred the mountain people who originally lived here many years ago and occupied this place as their secret base. We first need to pay attention to whether there are any places or things in these houses that are different from the original stone house layout, or have items that are obviously inconsistent with the original style of the stone house. As soon as I entered the door just now, I noticed that the blue bricks in front of the stove have relatively new traces of use. Although they are covered with traces of mud, footprints, etc., compared with this stone house, it is obvious that the blue bricks were laid here later."

At this point, the comrade from the relevant department continued modestly: "I just felt that something was not right here, so I wanted to give it a try."

Xiao Song said cheerfully, "Your comrades in the relevant departments are very experienced. Besides, we would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. As long as you feel something is wrong, we will not miss it even if we have to dig deep into the ground."

At this time, comrades from relevant departments had already opened the palm-sized oil paper package. After unwrapping the three layers of oil paper, three large yellow croakers and seven small yellow croakers appeared in front of everyone.

One of the action team members had already written down in his notebook the items found in the first stone house.

After a thorough search in the house, comrades from the relevant departments led everyone into the second adjacent stone house.

After searching the second stone house, they found nothing, so they went into the third stone house. A comrade from the relevant department soon found something in front of the earthen kang in this stone house. He pointed to the ground in front of the kang and asked the action team members beside him with a smile: "Everyone, take a closer look. What's the difference between here and the surrounding areas?"

The four members of the operation team came over to take a closer look. One of them said hesitantly, "The color of the soil here seems to be different from the surrounding soil. It seems to be newer."

The comrades from the relevant departments smiled and said, "Yes, it is obvious that the ground here has been dug up and refilled. If they were not burying something underneath, why bother digging up this already hard ground? You should have discovered that when the walls of these houses were built, most of the stones used were collected nearby, and the enemy agents only occupied this place later, so it is generally difficult to tamper with the walls of the stone houses. These enemy agents only temporarily hide some precious items that are inconvenient to carry with them. In this case, they usually bury them underground or hide them in high places such as beams. They usually don't bury them outside the house. In that case, what if they are discovered by others and secretly dug away?"

At this time, another team member had already squatted down with Xiao Song and started digging the soil at the target location with a dagger.

Sure enough, the soil in this place is very soft compared to the nearby ones, and only the surface layer is slightly hard.

The daggers in the hands of the two men were easily inserted into the ground, and soon they dug a square hole half a meter long and more than forty centimeters wide along the original excavation marks.

A comrade from the relevant department nearby had an undisguised excitement in his tone. He pointed to the hole in front of him and said, "Judging from the size of the hole now, the objects buried below cannot be too small, otherwise the enemy agents would not have dug such a large hole in vain."

After digging more than 20 centimeters, the dagger hit a layer of wood. After carefully cleaning the dirt off the wood, the comrades from the relevant departments stopped the team members who were about to lift the wood directly, and said in a serious tone: "When facing enemy agents, we must remain vigilant. For example, the small package just now, I was able to basically determine the items wrapped in it when I held it in my hand, so I dared to open it directly; but in this case, before handling it, we must carefully check whether there are some explosive fuses connected to the back, such as whether it is connected to a grenade or hand grenade? We are not only responsible for our own personal safety, but also for the personal safety of our comrades and colleagues next to us."

After hearing each other's words, everyone nodded seriously in agreement.
