Cicada Moving

 Chapter 327 Infiltration

 “The first door on the left is fine.”

 “The second door, I can’t see clearly.”

“The third fan is located in the middle and is easily attacked and eliminated by both sides.”

Zuo Zhong quickly checked the situation on the second floor of the Japan Pavilion. The human visual cone is very sensitive to light. It won't take long for his eyes to return to their original vision. He must hurry up.

“The far right... There is a wall on the right side as a cover, and the sight range is very large.”

He silently thought about the results of his observations. This place was more suitable for surveillance than other locations, and it was also safer. Dogs can't change their minds about eating shit. People in the secret service headquarters cherish their lives from top to bottom.

 So it is very possible that there is a sneaky cat out there watching the outside.

 “Well, what is that?”

Zuo Zhong caught a glimmer of light. It was not a cigarette butt. The people in the first place were professional spies and would not make such stupid mistakes. Moreover, judging from the height, it looked like the position of someone's chest.

 Reflective? Buttons, or telescopes?

 But this is not important. What is important is to confirm that someone is indeed monitoring the second floor.

Zuo Zhong slowly crawled back and drew a floor plan of the Japan Pavilion on the ground, as well as the perspective of the surveillance personnel.

With this drawing, he discovered a big problem. The observation range of the fourth window was large, but there was a blind spot. For example, the side wall could not be seen. There must be an observation hole near the transom.

The other two sides of the Japan Pavilion are, if nothing else, surveillance points with the same configuration. No matter how close people from outside are, they will be exposed to the sight of the surveillance personnel and cannot approach at all.

Zuo Zhong flattened the schematic diagram with his hands. He still had to look at the other two sides. Maybe there would be unexpected gains. After all, this place was designed as an exhibition hall at the time, not a fortress. There must be weaknesses.

Furthermore, the door is blocked, and the spies usually come out wherever they go. Even if they can climb in and out from the pile of bricks, if Xu Enzeng comes to inspect, they can't go in and out like this.

　　Isn’t it the director of a department who doesn’t want to lose face?

Zhong left and exited two to three hundred meters until he was sure that the Japan Pavilion was no longer visible. This time he changed the direction and walked around to the other side. As he walked, he discovered that there were more ruins and obstructions nearby.

This is a good sign. He lay prone on the ground and touched the target. The side just now was too empty, and there was no need to set up a secret sentry at the agent headquarters. The terrain here was complicated, and there might be a secret sentry.

Zuo Zhong would stop and listen to the surroundings every few meters, so he moved very slowly. By the time he reached the second side, half an hour had passed. He had to do this because making a mistake meant death.

 The bullet will not give him a chance to regret.

After climbing for a long time, Zuo Zhong used a fallen concrete pillar as a cover and quietly observed the target. The layout here was the same as the front, except that the back door was intact, which was the passage in and out.

 The door has been cleaned cleanly, and the bricks and tiles have been piled aside. It looks like a parking lot to facilitate the loading and unloading of materials and the loading and unloading of people, but there are currently no vehicles parked.

What a pity. If he could use the cover of the car to get closer to the target, things would be much easier. He glanced at the pile of bricks and tiles, but they were too empty and far away from him to use.

Zuo Zhong closed his eyes again for a while to adapt to the darkness, and carefully looked at the building in front of him. Because of the distance, this time he clearly saw that there was indeed an observation opening under the transom on the side wall.

The second floor is different. According to the layout of the other two sides, the surveillance personnel should stand on the right side and form a cross-view with the surveillance personnel in other directions. This is a basic requirement for surveillance.

However, part of the right side of the second floor collapsed for unknown reasons. This situation gave the surveillance personnel in the first place no choice but to monitor the situation outside on the left side of the second floor.

This discovery cheered Zuo Zhong up, because his current position was also on the left, which happened to be in the visual blind spot of the surveillance personnel. As for the reason, he was grateful to the country's nine-year compulsory education.

 Biologically, the most comfortable viewing angle range for humans is about 120 degrees, which is about one-fifth, or 25 degrees, when concentrating. In addition, the maximum viewing angle range for one eye is 156 degrees.

 The angle that the agent on the left on the second floor needs to observe is 180 degrees, which can be limited to human body functions. The maximum surveillance range of the opponent is only 120 degrees, and the 60 degrees that cannot be seen is his opportunity.

The observation hole under the transom is simpler. The observation hole is so small that the surveillance personnel can only observe with one eye. The surveillance range of 180 degrees is only 24 degrees, which will not affect his actions.

Moreover, surveillance is difficult. Zuo Zhong knows this very well. It is impossible for the other party to pay full attention all the time, let alone with one eye. He is very sure that the person observing the entrance will only glance at it occasionally.

The combination of these two points is enough for him to get close to the target safely. The only thing he has to do now is to wait until the darkest moment before dawn, when the possibility of being discovered is reduced.

Zuo Zhong took out his watch from the space, covered it with his hand to prevent reflection, and stepped forward to take a look. Unknowingly, it was almost two o'clock, and the sunrise time in Jinling in July was around 4:45.

 There are still more than two hours.

He clung to the concrete pillar, facing the direction he came from. The handkerchief stained with the blood of the martyrs was wrapped around the Browning in his hand. The safety had been turned on, and he could fire at any time in case of danger. At this time, Zuo Zhong suddenly thought, if one day he returned to the future and experienced so many ups and downs, would he still be able to happily work as a private detective? The answer made him smile bitterly.

The answer is of course no. Intelligence work is like tobacco, it is addictive. Besides, the camera is not as fun as this Browning. But if he carries the Browning to secretly take pictures, it will be safe.

Just like this, he was thinking wildly, and the time passed by. He closed his eyes and was half asleep and half awake. He couldn't really fall asleep. If he snored, it would be a comedy.

 “Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.”

The watch kept ringing in Zuo Zhong's ears, and the night sky slowly fell into boundless darkness. He suddenly opened his eyes, slowly crawled to the end of the concrete pillar, and stretched his head to look at the quiet target.

There was nothing unexpected. In fact, he couldn't see anything at all. The sky at this time was very suitable to be described as invisible, and the surveillance personnel upstairs couldn't see him at all.

Zuo Zhong took a deep breath, slowly stood up and took the first step, walking firmly towards the goal. There was no lighting, it didn't matter, he had already memorized the nearby terrain.

 One step, two steps, three steps. . . .

He avoided a broken tile, bypassed a pile of cement blocks, and advanced quickly and quietly outside the enemy's observation line of sight. He did not make any tactical evasive actions, which was useless.

 At such a close distance, if the opponent shoots from a high position, no matter what action he takes, he will inevitably die. Getting close to the target is the only way to survive. Even if he is discovered, he can rely on the wall to fight back.

The soft-soled cloth shoes I bought from a roadside stall were very sturdy. Even when I stepped on stones, they didn’t make much noise. These shoes without bottom patterns were very suitable for covert infiltration operations.

As the distance got closer, Zuo Zhong even heard the chatter of the agents from the secret service headquarters. He had no time to distinguish what the other party was saying, so he calmly took the last step, turned around and pressed against the wall.

 “Hey? Is there any movement?”

“The four of us with eight eyes are watching the fart, and not even a fly can fly in.”

Overhead, two surveillance personnel were communicating in a low voice. The number of surveillance personnel revealed in the conversation was as he had guessed. There were no other secret whistles. Zuo Zhong gently put down the Browning in his hand.

After regaining his composure for a while, he walked low along the wall towards the door. The corridor blocked his view of the second floor. It was like a sneak game, and the most dangerous moment was over.

But the next action was equally important. He stood by the door and observed it for a while, and found that it was an old-fashioned wooden door, with door shafts and door mortars fixed on both sides. It would make noise when it was not well lubricated and rotated.

 So, fill it up.

Zuo Zhong put on his sheepskin gloves, took out a small oil bottle from the sack, and calmly began to lubricate the four door sockets of the door. After squeezing out half of the bottle, the lubricating oil slowly flowed down the door panel.

He then put away the oil can, leaned against the wall and yawned. He had to wait a while longer, until the wood had fully absorbed the oil, and there would be no movement when he opened the door again. This was a unique skill of the copper lock.

After a few minutes, Zuo Zhong raised the pistol with his right hand and pushed the wooden door gently with his left hand. The wooden door immediately moved without any sound. It was indeed an unheralded secret in the field of sliding door lock picking.

Zuo Zhong smiled and put the gun on his waist, took out the dagger and stuffed it into the crack of the middle door. I don't know what Xu Enzeng was thinking. With so many precautions outside, only this door was used in the end.

Maybe it was a temporary arrangement and there was no time to order such a large door, but then again, with the help of the sulfuric acid, crowbars and grenades in the sack, no door could stop him.

The dagger rested on the door bolt through the crack in the door. Zuo Zhong slammed it into the door bolt with force. Shaking the dagger a little, the door bolt slowly moved to the right. When it reached a certain point, the door opened.

 The most primitive method is also the most effective, because accidents rarely occur and no professional skills are required. As long as the hand is steady enough, anyone can use this method to open a seemingly solid door.

 He opened the narrow door crack with his left hand and slipped in quietly. He closed the door with his backhand and locked the bolt. Then he observed the layout of the house through the bright light that came from nowhere.

 Different from the Japanese style outside, the inside of the Japan Pavilion is more like a Western library. It is a huge open space, which must have been built to display large exhibits.

There are no exhibits here, but there are a few more mats. On the mats are four people who are sleeping soundly. They lift their legs and walk towards the object. They should be the shift staff of the first place.

 Including the four people upstairs, there are at least 8 agents here. We must kill these 4 first while the other party is sleeping and unprepared to weaken the resistance. As for Wang Dingzhong, he is definitely not here.

He betrayed the underground party and comrades, not just to sleep on the floor from the southwest to Jinling. There must be other places in the exhibition hall to house the huge number of documents and materials.

There is a floor plan of the Japan Pavilion at the end of the chapter. It’s a good idea for those with limited resources. There is a review period for the easter eggs, so you may have to wait for a while. This is the process of the website. There is nothing you can do about it, and the length of time is not certain.
