"That's crazy!" On the way to the Qing Imperial Palace, Xu Hai couldn't help but complain. "They used a female ghost as a clue. Only the Japanese would do something like that, right?"
"Leader Zhao," Liu Zhanbing said as he tidied up his pistol. "This time, it should be the right one. Since the characters and the clothes all point to the Qing Imperial Palace, it means that the amazing treasure must be here. "
Hmm …
Zhao Yu didn't know how to answer. Although the clues were getting clearer, he still felt that something was wrong.
"The Qing Imperial Palace is the palace where the Qing lived before they invaded …" Xu Hai said. "During the Russian and Japanese invasions, hundreds of thousands of precious cultural relics were lost here!
"But who would have thought that … the Japanese would hide the gold treasure here? It's really unexpected and cunning … "
"If we really find it …" Liu Zhanbing said hopefully. "We'll really be famous! It's all thanks to Leader Zhao … "
"Damn!" Cui Lizhu crossed her arms and said angrily, "You haven't seen anything yet? You think of something good first! You haven't fought with that group of people before! "
"Yes! We're the closest to the Imperial Palace! " Miao Ying looked at her watch and said, "They'll definitely arrive before the Secret Service, so everyone should be careful. The enemy may appear at any time!"
"If that's the case …" Xu Hai said worriedly. "There are tourists there. Should we evacuate the crowd?"
"Of course not!" Liu Zhanbing shook his head. "Everything is just our guess. If we evacuate the crowd, wouldn't it cause panic? Besides, once we evacuate the crowd, we'll alert the enemy! "
Unexpectedly, after listening to their discussion, Zhao Yu could not help but think of something important.
No!
He suddenly thought of his hexagram. No matter what happened, the "Kun" hexagram, which represented a big event, did exist!
Since he knew that something big was going to happen, he couldn't be too selfish!
Before this, Zhao Yu had always wanted to use this opportunity to catch the mysterious masked man. But now that he thought of his hexagram, he had to give up his previous plan.
"Leader Miao!" Zhao Yu suddenly said to Miao Ying seriously. "We have to change our strategy. We have to evacuate the crowd!"
"Oh?!" Miao Ying frowned. "Why? Once the crowd is evacuated, we won't have a chance to catch Seraph! "
"No …" Zhao Yu shook his head. "Think about it. Even if the treasure is really buried in the Qing Dynasty Palace, with such a large amount of treasure, can they transport it away?"
"This …"
Zhao Yu's words made everyone speechless.
"So, just like the secret base," Zhao Yu said seriously. "Their goal is not to obtain, but to destroy! We can't risk the lives of so many innocent people. "
"I … I see …" Miao Ying was still in a dilemma.
"If we can't catch the criminals, at least we still have a chance!" Zhao Yu said. "But, if there's a group incident, we can't afford it!
"At that time, even if they capture a few hostages, we will be in a very passive position!"
"Hmm …" Miao Ying finally nodded in agreement.
Zhao Yu hurriedly took out his phone and contacted Li Jing. Unexpectedly, Li Jing had the same idea as Zhao Yu. She also believed that the lives of innocent people could not be risked. She would rather make a mistake and be criticized by others than evacuate the crowd.
However, although they had decided to evacuate the crowd, it was the peak tourist season. There were many tourists in the Qing Dynasty Palace, and it was a large area. It would take a long time to evacuate the crowd.
When Zhao Yu and the others arrived at the entrance, they only saw that the ticket office had stopped selling tickets, but not many people came out of the exit.
Because this was a field operation, Zhao Yu only brought Miao Ying, Cui Lizhu, Xu Hai, and Liu Zhanbing. Although Cui Lizhu was not the kind of field agent who could fight and kill, she played an important role in cracking the treasure, so naturally, they could not stay behind.
The Secret Service had contacted the management office in advance. When Zhao Yu and the others arrived with their documents, there were already staff waiting for them and letting them in.
It was only then that Zhao Yu saw tourists being evacuated one after another. Among them, some were very cooperative, while others were very angry and rushed to the management office to argue and ask for a refund.
Zhao Yu held his pistol tightly and carefully observed each tourist, paying attention to their every move.
At this time, the expert tour guide recommended by the scenic area arrived. Miao Ying hurriedly asked the woman in the red dress and about the well.
"Well?" The tour guide was stunned at first, then said, "There is an eight-treasure glazed well pavilion in the Forbidden City, but because of safety issues, the well has been sealed.
"As for the woman in the red dress you mentioned …" The tour guide shook his head and denied it. "I have never heard of it. I have read almost all the historical records of the Cossack invasion, but there is no story related to a woman. "
"If there is no woman, then what about the ghost?" Cui Lizhu asked hurriedly. "It is said that the Japanese often see a Russian woman in a red dress beside a well. Is there such a thing?"
"This … this …" The tour guide was stunned. "You … Are you really from the special operations department? Why … Why do you still believe in such nonsense? "
"Forget it, I don't think we should waste time with him." Cui Lizhu shook her head and said to Zhao Yu, "Let's go in and have a look."
"Let me ask you." Zhao Yu asked the tour guide again, "How many wells are there in the Qing Dynasty Forbidden City?"
"Um … More than 20, I guess?" The tour guide answered uncertainly. "But, all the wells are blocked."
"Well …" Zhao Yu raised his hand and said, "Hurry up and lead us around. Now, immediately! "
"Oh … Okay …" At this time, the tour guide saw that Zhao Yu and the others were on high alert. He couldn't help but become more nervous and didn't dare to say anything else. He hurriedly led the group into the Forbidden City.
Zhao Yu reminded Cui Lizhu softly, "We have to pay attention to the well and the buildings with the cloud pattern. The treasure may be in one of these places."
"Mm." Cui Lizhu nodded vigorously.
Just as they were about to go to the first well to check, two security guards suddenly ran over from the main entrance.
The two security guards were panicking. One of them was even carrying a fire extinguisher.
"Oh?" Zhao Yu and the others suddenly realized that something was wrong. They quickly pulled the security guards and asked, "What's wrong? What happened? "
"I received an alarm. There is smoke coming from the Phoenix Building!" the security guard said in a panic. "I'm afraid it's on fire."
Oh no!
Hearing this, Zhao Yu and the others were all stunned.
After looking at each other, Miao Ying quickly took out her pistol and shouted at the tour guide in a commanding tone, "Quick, inform your leader and speed up the evacuation of the crowd. It's dangerous here. "
