Chapter 20: Prisoner
Su Beixun first checked the girl's room on the right and found that the overall layout of the room was no different except that the wallpaper color had changed from sky blue to light pink.
Then, he opened the empty rooms that no one lived in one by one. Most of them were empty, with only a few filled with miscellaneous items.
Su Beixun walked in and searched one by one. There were a lot of rusty iron beds and iron stools piled up inside, which seemed to be the old things picked up by the previous generation of the orphanage. In addition, there were some broken wooden products, but they had rotted into strips and scattered on the ground.
There was no gain. Su Beixun coughed twice, dusted himself off and walked out.
He checked each room one by one, but found nothing special in any of them. It was not until he pushed open the innermost room on the left side of the first floor that Su Beixun was suddenly stunned!
He took two deep breaths to make sure it was not his illusion.
In this room, there is no stale air full of dust?!
He half-closed the door and glanced at the interior of the house.
This room was much messier than the others, with clutter filling up the entire space, leaving only enough space for three people to fit in the doorway. The room was also more run-down, with a lot of lime that had fallen off the wall piled up in the corners.
However, the air here is obviously fresher than in other rooms, which means that it is opened more often than in other rooms!
why?
What secrets could there be here?
Su Beixun became interested, and he soon discovered that in addition to the common iron and wooden products, there were also plastic products and ceramic floor tiles piled up with the reverse side facing up...
Su Beixun scanned the layout of the room, thought for a while, stepped on a plastic chair, stepped onto the ceramic floor tiles, jumped onto a sofa, followed the exposed sponge, and finally walked across a section of shag carpet and stopped in front of an abandoned brown-red cabinet.
He turned around and looked back - in the dusty room, walking along this path to the inside of the room would not leave any obvious footprints!
Smile complacently.
Su Beixun pulled open the peeling cabinet door with joy at uncovering a secret.
With a creaking sound
The cabinet is actually... empty?
Su Beixun was not surprised. He looked directly at the wooden board at the bottom of the cabinet, studied it for a moment, and easily dismantled it.
The locked iron sliding plate underneath was revealed!
This is a six-digit combination lock. Although it is more difficult to open than an everyday lock, it makes no difference to Su Beixun, who has honed his lock-picking skills.
He took out a set of lock-picking tools from the space. In less than five minutes, Su Beixun successfully removed the combination lock and then pulled up the iron wooden board.
There is no awkwardness at the opening and closing joints, as if they have been carefully maintained. However, when you put it on the floor, it makes a loud noise.
With the iron plate half leaning against the side of the cabinet, you can see a wooden staircase going all the way down.
Without any warning from his body, Su Beixun just walked on.
Next is a corridor about five meters long. Iron nets are used to support the structure on both sides and the top of the corridor to prevent soil collapse.
Soon, Su Beixun saw an iron gate at the end.
He reached out and pushed, but it didn't move at all.
With an emotionless "tsk", Su Beixun took out the lock-picking tools again.
After a moment, the door opened.
Behind the door was a relatively spacious room...or rather a large hole. In the middle of the earthen ceiling, a yellow light bulb was hanging from an exposed wire. On the floor were simple wooden boards with some bread and milk piled on them. There was also a large assembled bed. There was no table, but there was a chair.
Besides that……
A little child?
Su Beixun was stunned. In the corner farthest from the door, a naked child was squatting with his head in his hands, hiding behind the big bed and shivering. He looked very young, ten years old... no, only eight years old at most.
However, what was even more eye-catching was the scars all over his tender body. Su Beixun could tell that there were teeth marks on his wrists and chest, scratches on his back and arms, and obvious whip marks on his thighs and buttocks... All kinds of new and old scars intertwined together, it was simply shocking!
Su Beixun took a few steps forward, looked at him without pity, and murmured to himself: "It's really... unexpected..."
##
Twenty minutes ago…
Tokyo, Miwa Town.
Gin sat in his beloved car, biting a cigarette and puffing out smoke, squinting at the forest scene on the computer screen that had not changed for a long time, and snorted indifferently.
Vodka was still not smart enough and was thrown away by Su Beixun.
Suddenly, the cell phone in my arms rang!
He answered the phone, and the person on the other end was a senior peripheral member who was sent by him to monitor Jiang Gu Yichuan, but his tone was panicked at this time.
"Master Gin, while I was monitoring Jiang Gu Yichuan, I discovered another group of forces. I have seen one of them in the organization's database. It seems... it seems to be a member of the public security!"
Hearing this, Gin's eyes suddenly turned cold!
Who leaked the news?
Su Beixun's face subconsciously flashed through his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
Su Beixun had been under surveillance since last night, and had just been out of it for less than ten minutes. Even if he had informed the police during this period, the police's reaction should not have been so quick!
So, is there something wrong with the peripheral members responsible for monitoring? Or...
At this moment, Gin suddenly thought of Bourbon! Among all the core members of the organization, except for him and Vodka, only Bourbon knew about this!
And he has always been suspicious of Bourbon!
He was thinking about all the suspicious things about Bourbon, but he soon realized that now was not the time to catch mice!
Gin asked coldly: "Hasn't all the manpower been mobilized yet?"
The peripheral member was already sweating profusely: "It will take... five more days."
Gin frowned.
Since Jiang Gu Yichuan confronted the organization, he has been surrounded by more and more protection personnel. Although there are only seven bodyguards on the surface, the organization has investigated and found that there are at least 20 people in secret!
The organization is huge, and they can have as many peripheral members as cannon fodder as they want. But they can create chaos, but if they want to break through to Jiang Gu Yichuan and kidnap him, they must have senior members who are not afraid of life and death and have sharp skills! And the number cannot be small!
This requires assessment from all over the country and then mobilizing them, which of course is time-consuming.
But obviously, there is no time to waste now!
Gin was silent for a moment, then said, "Gather all the people now and take action tomorrow!"
"Yes!" The peripheral member answered loudly, and then asked hesitantly: "Master Gin, those people sent to the orphanage today..."
Gin thought about it and gave the order: "Call them back!"
He gave this task to Su Beixun because he wanted to wait until the other party was helpless and then let him act together with the members of the organization to make it easier to catch the other party.
Unexpectedly, Su Beixun had a strange idea and ran directly to the orphanage.
Gin scoffed at Su Beixun's speculation. Even if the orphanage really had some secrets, it would be useless if he couldn't catch Jiang Gu Yichuan! He always liked to be straightforward! In his opinion, the best solution was to attack directly from the front and capture the person!
But Gin is cautious by nature, and since it concerns the secrets of the organization, he naturally has to send people to hide around Su Beixun to prevent him from really finding something.
But now the police are also involved. After weighing the pros and cons, it is better to gather all the manpower as soon as possible and arrest the person before them. Only then can we feel at ease.
