Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2192 - 2256: Clues

"Alright, but I still need to say, safety first. No matter what the situation, even if the other side is the boss of that gang, you must prioritize your own safety!" Li Yifei was a bit touched to see all his comrades staying behind. In a city of millions, Li Yifei on his own would have a hard time finding out information about the person unless he directly confronted them. Of course, with just a few more people, it’s still difficult. However, they now have some authority they can leverage.

The main thing is that it’s a bit unreliable to alert the authorities for a matter that seems like chasing shadows. So Li Yifei decided to investigate himself, especially since the people he knows are all in high positions, alerting them would be like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito.

Of course, Li Yifei hadn’t considered whether he himself would be overstepping by handling this matter. After all, given his status, catching a suspected terrorist is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

At the moment, Li Yifei didn’t think about these things. After setting the strategy, he divided the team into two groups.

Xiang Qian was tracking information, and the others weren’t idle either. Zheng Mingrui and the others went out for a while and brought back some handy weapons. It’s impossible to find guns, but they could find some knives. Especially Zheng Mingrui, who’s been really good with knives since his time in the military, and he still keeps some in his home after retiring. He doesn’t have violent tendencies; he just enjoys it and occasionally plays around with them. Now those skills come in handy.

"Wow, Old Zheng, you even got your hands on this specially made military dagger." Liu Shuangyu picked up a dagger over a foot long, flipped it around a few times, and tucked it into his pant leg. He’s an old member of the Flying Hawk Squad, having joined around the same time as Li Yifei. However, due to personal reasons, his skills aren’t as strong as Zheng Mingrui and the others. After his service, he came to the Capital City, now working as a deputy captain at a security firm. Once he got Li Yifei’s call, he took leave to come immediately.

Zheng Mingrui chuckled, "The knife you carry isn’t inferior to mine. Oh, it’s an antique."

"Haha, it’s a war trophy I thought looked good, so I secretly kept it!" Liu Shuangyu also took out his weapon for everyone to choose from, only to find that everyone here carried weapons. Even if not on them, they had some in their cars.

Li Yifei put away his phone and remarked, "You guys, don’t you know the country controls weapons? Carrying these things around will get you in trouble if caught."

"Boss, we’re good citizens. How could we get caught? Besides, we carry weapons not to do bad things but to stop bad things when we see them!" Xiang Qian said, picking a knife for himself.

"Yeah, just last month, while out with my wife, we saw a purse snatcher. I went right over and kicked him down, taking him to the police station, though the guy tried to stab me in the meantime. Luckily, I reacted quickly, or I wouldn’t be here now."

Zheng Mingrui added, "Boss, I don’t believe you’re not carrying one. Oh, you just flew back from abroad, so you probably don’t have one. No worries, I’ll let you use my knife."

Li Yifei shook his head, "You guys pick first, I’m not in a hurry. I’ll use whatever’s left. Just a reminder, you can carry weapons, but don’t flash them around. Don’t scare the civilians."

"Got it, Captain. Why are you suddenly nagging? You used to be all action."

"I’ll action your ass! It was different in the military; now we don’t have that identity, and things get messy."

"Captain, if you want to action my sister, I’d be delighted! Let me tell you, my sister doesn’t look like me, but she’s as beautiful as my mom, 26 years old, just finished her master’s, and the family is pushing her to find someone, but she’s not interested in anyone. Can you believe that? Oh right, I was going to say, if you want to meet her, I can introduce you... She’s tall, over 5’7", long legs, really something... " Liying Yong, a former team member under Li Yifei, renowned for his balanced skills and having earned multiple military awards, rambled on.

Li Yifei looked at him as if watching a live broadcast, and the other comrades paused their actions, dumbstruck. Liying Yong was speaking so quickly he eventually couldn’t continue. He blinked and said, "What, did I say something wrong?"

"Oh come on... No, not really!" Li Yifei exclaimed in exasperated amusement, then continued, "How could you talk about your sister like that!"

"Boss, you don’t know that girl. She’s smart and relies on it to tease me. My mom doesn’t intervene. Now with the pressure to find someone, she says she wants someone like you. No one else will do. Gosh, there’s only one of you in all of Huaxia!" Liying Yong was so animated he was practically spitting, pausing to add, "Where am I going to find another like you? But if you’re interested, I could set you two up. My sister is tall, over 5’7", with long legs, really something..."

"Get lost, you jerk!" Li Yifei couldn’t help but kick him, saying, "Don’t joke about that. Am I that kind of person?"

"Boss, I heard you have many wives now. It’s not a big deal for a man. Besides, from what I know about you, you’re the kind to be responsible for women..." Liying Yong continued.

At this, even Zheng Mingrui and the others couldn’t take it, jumping over to press Liying Yong down, showering him with punches and kicks.

After a brief commotion, Xiang Qian suddenly called everyone over, saying, "Boss, I pulled some surveillance footage using my access. Take a look."

"These are some surveillance footage from the airport. We found the guy who was impersonating someone. He walked from here to there and got into a black Audi. The license plate shown isn’t registered to that car, which means they intentionally hid the plates. It’s suspicious."

Li Yifei and the others nodded, with Li Yifei frowning as he thought about how difficult it would be to track this person down now that they hadn’t caught them back then, especially since they used fake plates. Given how many thousands of Audi A6Ls there are in the Capital City... Searching each one would be nearly impossible.

Xiang Qian continued, "The car drove out, and the boss chased after it. There’s no problem there, and the car didn’t turn around but instead drove onto the highway, picking up speed to over 200. It’s clear they were either rushing something or worried about being caught. The car exited the highway here. I used my access again to pull relevant road footage, and after checking, we found some of the car’s routes. It’s as though they worried about being tracked, so they clearly took two detours, driving about five or six kilometers before entering an underground parking lot."

"I’m still cracking the surveillance there. It’s going slowly. Boss, maybe we should get the missus involved?" Xiang Qian suggested. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Yeah, sure, I’ll reach out to her now!" Li Yifei nodded, called Chu Xiaoyao, and shared some data. The young lady quickly took on the task, and half an hour later, sent back the data. However, it wasn’t complete because some cameras in the parking lot weren’t functioning, and naturally, there were many blind spots.

"What about the car?" Li Yifei asked.

Chu Xiaoyao had pulled the entry and exit surveillance as well as some location footage, but after searching for a while, there was no trace of the car. The car definitely went in, but it was uncertain if it had exited.

Looking at each other, Li Yifei said, "Little Song, go with your group. Be careful and stay in contact. Remember, if you spot the target, don’t act rashly. Wait for us unless they show malicious intent. Understood?"

"Yes, Hawk team, got it." Little Song immediately took the order, heading out with Zheng Mingrui, Liying Yong, and another comrade, driving Zheng Mingrui’s car. Li Yifei continued analyzing the video with Xiang Qian, who was worried he might have missed something, so he reviewed it, yet still found nothing, becoming a bit anxious. Li Yifei said, "Don’t worry, they’ll arrive in fifteen minutes. If the person didn’t leave and went upstairs, we’ll find him!"

"During this time frame, four Audi ALs entered and exited, but none had the targeted number. I checked, and these numbers are all legitimate, including one government plate and three private cars. Two of the owners are from the Capital City, and one from Lingnan. There doesn’t appear to be anything suspicious. Boss, I want to pull more footage from the airport parking lot again. We need Xiaoyao’s help. If we can get a look at the Audi driver’s face, we might be able to identify which car..."

"Alright," Li Yifei decisively gave Xiang Qian the contact for Chu Xiaoyao. As it turned out, she wasn’t working alone; she now had a hacker squad, occasionally taking private jobs. Of course, she wouldn’t do anything harmful to the nation, sometimes leading counterattacks against foreign hackers. With several experts on her team, she threw herself into the task.

Meanwhile, the airport maintenance staff felt like they had a crazy day. Just as they were starting to repair the firewall, someone hacked in again, downloading a bunch of videos, and then disappearing without a trace.
