C149 (2/2)
Xiao Ding agreed. After all, he had more experience carrying out missions than himself. On this point, he was still lacking.
However, Xiao Ding planned to scout first, in case he couldn't find the place when the time comes. After Liu Feixu hesitated for a while, she reminded him that she could only go and scout, not move. Furthermore, when she scouted people, she had to stay far away from them and not alert them.
Xiao Ding promised them one by one, put on his disguise once more, and left the room.
The address that Mina Yoshiko gave was at a small courtyard in the suburbs. Xiao Ding took the subway, then a bus to reach the destination. On the way, he asked in English. He was worried that Mina Yoshiko and the others would arrange a meeting with someone. Normally, they would have to carefully observe that person for a long time before coming forward to ask.
Xiao Ding remembered Liu Feixu's instructions very well. After finding a place far away, he stood on a building 300 miles away and observed quietly.
The small courtyard was very quiet. There were four buildings, one on each side. There were a few inconspicuous cars in the yard, and not a single person could be seen. The opposite side of the small building had six floors. The doors of the buildings were all tightly shut, so no one could come in or out.
If this was a trap, Xiao Ding didn't feel any hint of danger.
Xiao Ding knew, and with a glance, he naturally wouldn't be able to see anything. He sat down at the top of the building, intending to watch for two hours to see what was going on.
It was quite strange. For the past two hours, there was not a single sound from the courtyard. No one had entered or left the courtyard.
As a result, Xiao Ding was sure that this was a trap. If it was a normal research facility, at least someone would come in and out. It was impossible to not feel angry for two hours straight.
Regardless of whether it was a dragon's lagoon or a tiger's cave, Xiao Ding still decided to give it a try tomorrow morning. Even if it was a trap that they had meticulously set up, they would still have to know about it. The strength of their Hua Xia Country was something that they had to pay a price for.
Of course, if it really was after the trap, Xiao Ding still had one more thing to teach his, and that was Mina Yoshiko. As for how to make it up, hehe, you know that.
Xiao Ding stood up again, and noted down the entire situation in the small courtyard before leaving in a hurry.
Returning back to the shop, Liu Feixu asked: ”How is it, did you see anything?”
Xiao Ding shook his head: ”It's a very normal small courtyard, it is said to be a research institute or something, but there is no trace of it, it seems to be an abandoned place.”
”Did you observe any ambush?” Liu Feixu asked again.
Xiao Ding said: ”I didn't observe carefully. He would probably have to wait until night before lying in ambush. They are all experienced agents, and might have guessed that we would only come at night. They also know that we would go scout during the day, so they opened their doors for me to scout and set up an ambush at night. ”
What Xiao Ding said made sense, as Liu Feixu hurriedly said, ”Then you must be extra careful in the early morning. Since he couldn't do anything, he had to retreat. Wait until Captain Xie and the rest come here to discuss it before making a decision. ”
Xiao Ding nodded his head: ”We can only act according to the circumstances.”
For the sake of tomorrow morning's operation, Xiao Ding was going to rest. He felt that he needed the strength and vigor to meet a challenge that was fraught with danger.
Liu Feixu did not sleep. She waited until twelve o'clock and then woke Xiao Ding up. ”Xiao Ding, it's twelve o'clock.”
Xiao Ding stood up, and looked at the multifunctional watch on his wrist, it was indeed 12 o'clock. He jumped under the bed, walked to the bathroom, and used cold water to wash his face. After dressing up a little, he confidently said to Liu Feixu: ”Listen to my good news.”
Liu Feixu's face was full of worry as she said nervously: ”Be careful, if it really isn't possible, then give up on retreating.”
When Liu Feixu said this, Xiao Ding had long since disappeared from the corridor.
The hotel was far from its destination. However, there were still a few taxis running down the street.
Xiao Ding got into a taxi and said a name. This place was only about two thousand meters away from their destination. This was a place that Xiao Ding had specifically remembered, which was the place he had planned to go to at night by car, then walk to on foot.
If he went there directly by car, it would be very likely for him to alarm the other party. They would be caught off guard if they arrived at this place in a car and quietly made their way there.
After the taxi reached their destination, Xiao Ding took out his money to pay the taxi fare and slowly walked forward.
The taxi driver took out a walkie-talkie and said softly, ”There is only one target.”
In truth, what Xiao Ding did not know was that the cabs near the hotel, including the cabs that were moving around nearby, were all arranged by the Section Chief in Mina Yoshiko's department. He used the method of spreading the net widely, thinking that there would definitely be a taxi that would carry Xiao Ding there.
