Chapter 248: Die, Terrorist Cells!

Walking through a building darkened by the haze of smoke.

Xiao Yu and Wang Dong reached the fourth floor.

They stood inside an open storage room.

Inside were all kinds of contraband, illegal items, and even some drugs…

Some of these items were extremely valuable.

Only one storage locker had been violently broken into.

The locker door had been smashed open with blunt instruments resembling an axe.

Many wonder why illegal items are even kept here.

It’s because everything must be documented, registered, and eventually destroyed collectively.

The entire destruction process is recorded on video.

Missing even one item is a huge liability.

Those in the know understand why it’s so complicated!

Every city has a stash for stolen goods.

They hold the collective destruction events two or three times a year.

A mass destruction operation!

Standing before the locker door,

Xiao Yu scanned the items inside.

His eyes fixed on an empty space amidst the goods.

It was clear that this was where the Fake Currency Circuit Board was kept.

Shifting his gaze, Xiao Yu inspected the locker door carefully.

After a long moment, he turned to look at the rest of the storage room.

There were signs of a desperate search.

After a full half-hour, Xiao Yu heaved a relieved sigh.

He had ruled out the possibility of an insider.

The traces suggested that their target only had a rough idea of where the items were stored, not the exact location.

If they had headed straight for the locker, it would have been a disaster.

That was the last scenario Xiao Yu wanted to see…

“These two are professionals,”

observed Xiao Yu through the keen vision of Falcon’s Eye as he examined the shallow shoe prints on the floor. “The prints are faint, without proper tread markings. They must be from specially modified shoes.”

“Shoe prints” refer to the patterns on the soles and the overall outline left behind.

Analyzing shoe prints is a key technique in modern forensic investigations.

Without professional expertise, masking shoe prints is nearly impossible.

Wang Dong, listening to his junior partner, groaned inwardly.

First, there was an unconventional weapon, and now specially modified shoes.

The culprits who stole the Fake Currency Circuit Board were not just skilled—they were professionals through and through.

It made him think of a certain profession… agents!

“They aren’t mere agents and spies,”

Xiao Yu, as if understanding Wang Dong’s thoughts, shook his head, “They may look professional, but their methods are clumsy.”

He pointed to the locker, “Violently breaking a locker takes time and effort. Lacking even that basic skill—do you really think they qualify as agents or spies?”

“Ha!”

Wang Dong laughed and replied, “Alright, I’ll play the tool role for now. What do we do next?”

Xiao Yu smiled, thinking, ‘You always say things like that—it really throws me off.’

He knew that Wang Dong was deliberately joking to ease the tension between them.

Sometimes, police investigations require a bit of humor to lighten the mood.

It helps relieve both mental and physical stress.

During investigations, a constant state of tension can really take its toll.

It makes one prone to all sorts of illnesses… especially mental ones!

“They planned this heist so meticulously that they even accounted for Tianyan Surveillance Cameras outside,”

Xiao Yu shook his head, “They even calculated their escape routes. Tracking them down is going to be a nightmare.”

Their only goal was the Fake Currency Circuit Board.

They had planned everything down to the last detail, including their escape route.

Xiao Yu even thought that if not for the overly dedicated sacrifice of the two fallen officers, things might have ended differently.

Had they rushed out like everyone else when the fire broke out, they might not have died.

Are we stupid?

No!

Just like when facing invading enemies—even under heavy gunfire,

you don’t expect soldiers guarding the border to back down, do you?

Ring!

The phone rang.

Wang Dong quickly answered, his eyes lighting up as he looked at his junior partner, “We’ve found them!”

The murderers and thieves who stole the currency board?

No, it was the remaining members of the Terrorist Cells!

Xiao Yu stood and strode out of the storage room.

His mind wasn’t on the Terrorist Cells at all,

but on the people who had killed and stolen the Fake Currency Circuit Board.

Run—run as much as you can!

Cherish the few precious moments you have,

because when I catch up to you,

you’ll wish for death!

……

Boom!

At a day-rented house,

SWAT Teams burst through the door, flying in.

“Everyone, hands up! Don’t move!”

Shouts of command echoed throughout the day-rented house.

Bang bang bang… the sound of gunfire roared!

Seven minutes later, when Xiao Yu and Wang Dong entered the room, they couldn’t help but frown.

Five bodies—a man and four women—lay scattered across the day-rented house.

Beside them were three pistols, and one of the female corpses still clutched a bomb with steel balls that nearly went off.

There was no chance of anyone surviving.

Finding them hidden in the day-rented house meant immediate action was necessary.

The threat posed by these Terrorist Cells was too severe!

Just like right now.

If they left any survivors instead of killing them on the spot,

and if those survivors triggered the bomb,

the consequences would be unimaginable!

“Search the place,” Wang Dong ordered coldly.

Soon, over three million in cash was recovered from the room.

Where did these Terrorist Cells get so much money?

It must have been from their first successful bank heist!

But why so little?

Times have changed.

When customers need large amounts of cash, they must book it in advance with the bank, which then prepares the funds.

On a normal day, a bank doesn’t hold much cash—a few million is plenty.

And even those few million are just the amount delivered in the morning and returned to the ‘vault’ in the evening.

After business hours, banks are nearly empty.

All the money is kept secure in the vault!

So even with a bank heist, it’s impossible to snag huge sums of cash these days.

This is why Xiao Yu said that these guys weren’t just fools drinking fake wine.

They were brain-dead, literally courting death.

Which made them all the more suspicious—their true aim wasn’t just to rob a bank.

That had now been confirmed.

They were after the Fake Currency Circuit Board!

“This is bad,”

Wang Dong crouched beside the mutilated bodies, frowning, “How are we going to investigate this?”

“They’re just a bunch of lackeys,”

Xiao Yu shook his head, “Even if there were survivors, they wouldn’t have much to tell us.”

It was inevitable.

The covert and secretive nature of the Terrorist Cells is well known.

Capturing one or two survivors wouldn’t help at all.

Take, for example, that female terrorist, Shu Yuzhen.

Even after two years of training, she has no idea where her base is located.

The others are just as clueless.

Xiao Yu glanced at the five corpses with a calm expression.

Comparing the missing Fake Currency Circuit Board with the two dead officers,

the Terrorist Cells had to be eliminated first!
