Chapter 204 Sautemes: Raki is so scary...
On the Third Floor of the Building, the lamplight illuminated the Corridor, stretching the shadows of the two figures.
Two men in Black Clothes quickly walked through the Corridor and stood before a Door.
Vodka was just about to step forward to knock on the Door when Chi Feichei stopped him.
Chi Feichei lowered his head and looked at a long, curly strand of Hair clipped in the Crack at the lower corner of the Door before pressing the Doorbell.
After waiting for two minutes, there was no response.
He pressed again and waited another two minutes, but there was still no response.
No need to wait, the person is definitely not Home.
Chi Feichei bent down to pick up the Hair from the Door Crack, took out an Iron Wire from his Pocket to open the Door, fiddled with the Door Lock a bit, and opened it.
After Vodka entered the Door, he quickly went to the Bathroom to check the Situation and found that there was no one in the Bathroom at all, "Bo..."
He felt awkward.
He forgot again that this Action was under Raki's command...
Chi Feichei glanced at the empty Bathroom, "Search Command, be careful, put on Gloves, and don't mess things up."
If Sautemes wasn't Home after they arrived, they would conduct a Search Command. Sautemes wouldn't expect them to come, so some Traces might not have been eliminated.
Vodka went to the Bedroom and Kitchen to take a look around.
Chi Feichei put that strand of Hair back in the Door Crack, matching its original Location and length, re-closed the Door, while scanning the Environment inside the room and paying attention to Vodka's Movement.
There was no other Method. Vodka wasn't careful enough. In This Situation, leaving Search Command Traces was acceptable, but if he carelessly left behind Hair, Cigarette Butt, Fingerprints, or anything like that, it might cause Troublesome in the future.
If Gin's subordinate got lost because of him, then that would be a huge joke...
Silently, he helped Vodka pick up a Hair and erased a clear Footprint. Chi Feichei then looked at the desk Drawer, opened one of them, flipped through it, found a Booklet, and frowned.
Vodka saw Chi Feichei helping him clean up Traces, and his Mood became subtly complicated again.
Was he really that careless?
He was like this with the Boss, and he was like this with Raki too, making him feel quite embarrassed.
"Raki, I haven't found anything here. It's unlikely she'd hide anything related to MI6 here. What about you?"
"It's normal not to find anything related to suspected MI6 Intelligence Agents," Chi Feichei said, his gaze fixed intently on the Booklet in his hand. After a moment, he put it down. "Try to find Keys for storage tools like Lockers. If there are any, use Plasticine to make a mold of them after you find them."
"Okay!" Vodka silently went to search again.
...
Inside a Supermarket, after Sautemes went in, she walked to the shelves at the back, looked up at the items on the shelves, pointed to a Shampoo, turned her head, and asked the male Shop Assistant who had followed her, "Excuse me, is this brand of Shower Gel sold out?"
"Yes, we do, please wait a moment, we haven't had time to put it out yet," the male Shop Assistant said with a smile, squatting down beside the shelf and rummaging through a Cardboard Box. He asked softly, "What's the Matter?"
"Raki is taking Action. He knows the Disguise Technique, and his Purpose is likely to Infiltration MI6 to get the Undercover Agent List of Various Countries," Sautemes pretended to pick up a tube of Toothpaste, held it in her Hand, and looked at the production Date on it, speaking quickly and quietly, "Also, I've discovered something else..."
The male Shop Assistant listened quietly to the faint speaking Sound. After listening, he got up without changing expression and handed over a Bottle of Shower Gel. "Here's the Shower Gel you wanted!"
"Thank you, I'll pay now!" Sautemes said with a smile as she took it.
As the male Shop Assistant turned to walk away from the shelves, he asked in a low voice, "Do you know the specific Action Time?"
"Not sure." Sautemes walked past the male Shop Assistant to pay, then lowered her head and hurried out of the Shop.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, London was bathed in soft, orange-red light.
This was her favorite Color, and this was also her favorite city.
This city, the beautiful scenery of this moment, no matter what...
She had to protect it, no matter what!
With firm resolve, the beautiful Female Undercover Agent bypassed the Surveillance Point, went to the Next Door Building, took the Elevator to the Rooftop Terrace, used an idle Steel Pipe, and nimbly flipped over to the Rooftop Terrace of her own Building.
She then took the Elevator again to the Third Floor and exited.
As she approached the Entrance of her apartment, she deliberately lightened her Footsteps and listened carefully. She could hear the shua shua Water Sound from the ventilation window.
When she reached the Doorway and looked again, the Hair in the Door Crack was still in place.
Sautemes breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly and lightly opened the Door, slipped inside, and closed it...
All that smooth maneuvering, and she still got caught!
Just as she quietly locked the Door, before Sautemes could even turn around, an ice-cold Muzzle was pressed against the back of her head: "..."
Almost simultaneously, there was also the sound of a Bullet being chambered.
From behind, a hoarse, stiff male voice filled with Coldness asked, "Sautemes, where did you go?"
Sautemes was so frightened that she held her breath for several seconds. Forcibly suppressing the Fear in her heart, she tried to speak in a steady Tone, "My usual Shower Gel ran out, and I was too lazy to go out. My Upstairs neighbor bought an extra Bottle a Few Days Ago, so I went to buy it from her."
She couldn't say she went out shopping!
Otherwise, there was no way to explain why the Surveillance outside the Building Exit hadn't seen her leave!
Fortunately, she had prepared in advance. To be cautious, she had poured the remaining Shower Gel at Home down the Sewer beforehand. The Shower Gel and Toothpaste she had just bought weren't discarded either; she had brought them back with her.
The Shopping Bag could be said to be from her Upstairs neighbor. In the Elevator, she had also tidied up the Dust and Wrinkles on her Clothes.
As for going Upstairs to find someone to verify her story...
She believed Raki wouldn't bother drawing her neighbor's attention for something like this.
If something happened to her and the Police investigated, if the neighbor noticed anything, their Testimony would cause Troublesome for Raki.
Chi Feichei remained silent, lowering his gaze to glance at the Shopping Bag.
From seeing the empty Shower Gel bottle in the Bathroom, he had Probably guessed Sautemes's Intention. This girl... was quite clever, but why was she so confident?
"Hey, Raki, could you put the Gun down?" Sautemes said in a relaxed Tone. "If you don't believe me, you can come Upstairs with me to ask the lady herself."
She believed that the more she said that, the more Raki would suspect she had set up some trick Upstairs and the less likely he would be to go.
As long as she could smooth things over and not show any Opening, the Organization wouldn't let Raki just get rid of her like this!
Chi Feichei looked at Sautemes, put down the Gun, walked past Sautemes to open the Door, and said, "Vodka, let's go."
Huh? Why did he say that?
Maybe it was because...
If he didn't say it, Vodka wouldn't know Whether or Not to follow.
Vodka glanced at Sautemes and followed.
After Sautemes closed the Door, she went into the Bathroom, and all the Strength seemed to drain out of her body as she collapsed to the floor.
Although she had smoothed things over and wasn't sent back Hometown by a Bullet at the Scene, Raki clearly still didn't Trust her explanation. She would have to be more careful in the future.
Waaah...
Raki was so scary. Being an Undercover Agent in the Organization was truly terrifying!
After exiting the Door, Chi Feichei and Vodka walked towards the Staircase. For the Third Floor, there was fundamentally no need to take the Elevator.
If the Elevator lost power and they got trapped inside, it would be very dangerous.
From the Staircase Entrance ahead, a subtle Sound suddenly came.
Chi Feichei paused, slowed his pace, stepped forward quietly, and slowly pushed open the Door to the Safety Passage. After seeing no one, he looked at Vodka.
Vodka took out his Gun, concealed it under his Clothes, chambered a Bullet, turned around, and quietly went to the Elevator. He took it to the Rooftop, then entered the Staircase and moved downwards to surround the area.
Chi Feichei took out his Earphone, connected the Communication, and told the Sniper to watch out for anyone exiting the Safety Passage. He also continued up the Stairs.
They met up, but found no one. Chi Feichei then contacted the Sniper watching outside.
"Has anyone exited the Safety Passage?"
"Negative."
"Keep watching."
Chi Feichei disconnected the Communication. He didn't search Floor by Floor but walked down the Stairs. "Let's go."
Vodka followed decisively. He would retreat when told to retreat and advance when told to advance. He was just an obedient and good assistant.
Meanwhile, a certain 'little black' had previously sneaked down to the First Floor and suddenly realized something. Without leaving the Building, he took the Elevator back up to the Third Floor. Taking advantage of the fact that the two dangerous individuals had gone Upstairs, he ran into the Next Door apartment to Sautemes's Home, leaned his back against the Door, let out a long sigh of relief, and went to the Washroom to make a Call.
"Hello... is this Mr. Furuya?"
"Speaking."
In Japan, Amuro Toru heard the nervous Sound of the person on the other end. He found a secluded Place and asked urgently, "What's wrong? Did something unexpected happen?"
"Yes," the little black calmed his nerves a bit. "I've found the Woman. She's a famous newspaper Reporter, and her Address wasn't hard to find. As you instructed, I moved into the apartment Next Door to hers and prepared the Substitute. Since then, I've been watching Outside through the Door Viewer, paying attention to see if anyone came over. Tonight, I indeed Saw two men in Black Clothes go to the apartment Next Door. Originally, I wanted to go out to check the Surveillance Situation Outside, but they suddenly came out, and I was almost discovered..."
"Were you seen?" Amuro Toru asked quickly.
The Method he and Chi Feichei had discussed was that since there was no Time to negotiate with MI6, they would directly bypass MI6 and bring the person back.
Before moving in to deal with Sautemes, Chi Feichei would go to Sautemes's Home to scare her once. If there was an Opportunity, he would take it; if not, he would find an Opportunity.
Afterwards, would their people talk to Sautemes?
No, it wouldn't do for Public Security to be arranging Spies in another country. To avoid disputes, Sautemes couldn't know exactly what was happening.
Chi Feichei would put Sleeping Pills in Sautemes's drinking Water to make her fall asleep. Their people would then have two Hours to find an Opportunity to enter, replace Sautemes with a Substitute, and then have Chi Feichei Dispose of the Substitute.
The real Sautemes would be packaged and sent to Japan. Before the Organization was dealt with, Sautemes wouldn't be allowed to show her face, and they would make MI6 believe that Sautemes was really dead.
They would keep Sautemes alive. When necessary, they might be able to get Intelligence from her. They didn't expect Sautemes to know any secrets, but things like the process of joining the Organization, what she experienced before and after being suspected—all of this was useful Intelligence. Analyzing the Situation after learning these things would Benefit him and Chi Feichei's Undercover Agent work.
Judging from the current Situation, the process of him and Chi Feichei joining the Organization, the Arrangements after joining, and the Things they had access to were completely different. They needed more reference cases.
This Plan was too idealistic. It had been decided before Chi Feichei arrived in Britain. No one knew what the Situation would be like, and there would be no Communication throughout the entire process. Chi Feichei had to control how things developed.
And their difficulty lay in finding a suitable Substitute.
Chi Feichei's Requests were too demanding.
First, they needed an extremist, someone who would kill without blinking an eye, a death row inmate whose death would be no pity. He agreed with this point; they couldn't Sacrifice an innocent person just to save Sautemes.
Second, the Substitute's body shape and Appearance had to be similar to Sautemes. Sautemes liked Makeup, and although it wasn't overly heavy, it still greatly concealed her original Appearance. As long as they found someone with 80% similarity, plus Makeup, Clothes arrangements, and a voice feigning a bad Cold, they could fool people.
Chi Feichei would try his best to keep Gin away at that time, to prevent Gin from noticing any Opening. He would also ensure that during the final execution, Sautemes's body would be completely destroyed, making it impossible to determine if the deceased was actually Sautemes.
However, even 80% similarity was difficult to achieve. The Undercover Agents within Britain hadn't found a suitable person.
Third, the person they found should ideally be cooperative. Since they were extremists, inducement should work.
If they couldn't find a Substitute, they would treat the rescue Action as if it never existed, and Chi Feichei would kill Sautemes without hesitation.
He agreed as well.
Fortunately, Japan was their territory. He had checked a large amount of Information on serious criminals detained in Prisons and found a Female extremist who was slightly thinner, had a very similar Appearance, and could be passed off with Makeup. Through malicious inducement and illegal channels, she was packaged and urgently sent to London, Britain, overnight.
Logically speaking, the most difficult part was already done. All that was left was to avoid Surveillance and swap the person out. They shouldn't encounter any Troublesome.
How did something still go wrong?
