"We are really stuck in the city this time."

In the central area of ​​Istanbul, in Sarakan Park, Chen Chen looked at the helicopters in the sky and the checkpoints on the highway in the distance, and sat back on the lawn.

The other team members on the side looked relaxed, sitting in groups of three or five on the grass to rest, and beside them were other tourists relaxing.

After completing the raid on the B\u0026B hotel, it took them two hours to overcome many obstacles and reach the northern suburbs. They originally planned to go directly through the Evat Nature Park, hike to Rumelifeneri on the Black Sea coast, and then swim there. Crossing the sea and returning to Sultan Bailey, I repeated my old tricks to complete a rest, but I didn't expect that the CIA was indeed beaten to a certain extent.

There are helicopters flying everywhere in the sky, and all traffic arteries are controlled. Let alone crossing the park now, even if their movement trajectory shows any abnormality, they may be caught directly.

As a result, everyone had no choice but to turn back and return to the densely populated area of ​​the city via roads that were not completely blocked.

After all, when they can't escape directly, the more crowded the place, the safer they are.

This kind of security is limited. Just like now, even if they are among a group of tourists, they have to be alert to the police who may come to verify their identity at any time.

But fortunately, the bombing of a safe house will not immediately put the entire Istanbul into a state of martial law. The "ask everyone you see" manhunt has not yet begun. Chen Chen still has time to plan the final escape and hunt. plan.

Li Bang pretended to sit casually on a bench nearby, controlling the open area where enemies were most likely to appear, while Xia Xing sat next to Chen Chen and exchanged the latest information with him.

"It is now 2 p.m., and the Turkish police will most likely declare a state of martial law in the city in 4 hours. By then, just in time for dark, the entire city will directly enter a curfew."

"You basically have nowhere to go. Once caught by the police, it is completely impossible to hide your identity."

"Your previous plan was very good. Burning fire on Russia and Syria really muddied the waters."

"But there is a time limit for such chaos."

"After two consecutive rounds of attacks, combined with surrounding surveillance and some civilian cameras, the CIA has been able to identify your racial information anyway."

"They will soon focus on the East Asians. Even if they don't suspect us or the Dongfeng Corps for the time being, it will be extremely detrimental to you."

"Have you ever played hide-and-seek? You're about to be discovered, and now you just have to see who can run faster."

"I see."

Chen Chen nodded slightly and replied:

"That was all part of the plan."

"The preferred option is to evacuate directly from the northern suburbs, which is the best option."

"But now, the CIA's response is obviously excessive, so we can only implement the backup plan and continue to deal with them in the city."

"Now we really need your support."

"I need a pass."

".I really can't figure it out."

Xia Xing shook his head helplessly and said:

"We have tried our best, but under the current circumstances, no one can get a pass that allows you to leave the city smoothly, not even the Americans or the embassy."

"What I want is not a pass out of town."

Chen Chen interrupted Xia Xing and continued:

"What I want is a pass to Istanbul University."

"Istanbul University!?"

Xia Xing was stunned for a moment, then asked:

"Are you planning to hide in college?"

"To be precise, I hid in the university library."

Chen Chen let out a breath and continued to explain:

"Generally speaking, during raids, hotels and bars are the first to be targeted, followed by unregulated streets, abandoned buildings, public facilities, and finally various public institutions."

"If possible, I would just hide in the city hall - is there a city hall in Istanbul?"

".Yes, but you can't get in."

"So, we had to go to college."

"We are less than one kilometer away from Istanbul University. Before martial law was officially announced, we just went in with our passes."

"We only have to last two days in the library."

"Two days later, my other line should also be effective."

"That's when the real hunting begins."

After hearing Chen Chen's words, Xia Xing frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, she said:

“If you want to escape to the library, the library of Istanbul University Law School is indeed a good choice.”

"The law school library is open 24 hours a day. Students often stay up all night reading here, so there should be no need to worry about being inspected."

"However, after martial law is promulgated, the school will inevitably require all students to return to the dormitories for roll call, and by then, the entire library will inevitably be emptied."

"You need to find a way to avoid the patrol, and at the same time ensure that the evacuation channel is clear. How about it? How do you plan to hide?"

Chen Chen did not hesitate and immediately replied:

"According to circumstances."

"A library can't just be a library. All facilities, including the power distribution room, toilets, and reading rooms, can be used."

"As soon as we can get in, we will immediately start looking for a suitable hiding spot."

"Just like you said, playing hide and seek."

"As long as you avoid the first round of clearance, there will basically be no problems in the follow-up."

"If we really can't find a suitable opportunity, then we will withdraw again and find a way to enter the dormitory."

"All in all, the situation is definitely no worse than if we stayed in open space, and it's totally worth giving it a try."

"Understood, I'll do it now."

After listening to Chen Chen's words, Xia Xing nodded decisively.

But after a moment, she sighed again and said:

"This is our problem, our strength here is still too weak."

"If it were the CIA in this situation, they would at least be able to arrange no less than 10 suitable hiding spots for you."

"I'm sorry, we."

"No need to say sorry."

Chen Chen interrupted Xia Xing and continued:

"Eat the food one bite at a time, and do the things one by one."

"It doesn't work now, but it will get better in the future."

"Thanks."

Xia Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and then, without wasting a minute, she immediately left the park to prepare the documents Chen Chen needed.

It is indeed not that easy for them to obtain a new and logical identity document, but it is still very simple to obtain a false student ID card or library access certificate.

After all, Istanbul University is originally an open attraction. No documents are required to enter the campus, and no identity verification process is required.

The only thing they need to do is to forge student ID cards in a short time so that Chen Chen and his party can enter the buildings on campus!

It is now 2011, and all kinds of information at Istanbul University have not yet been connected to the Internet. The student ID card is completely paper-based, and the difficulty of counterfeiting can be said to be almost non-existent.

Xia Xing's mission went very smoothly. When Chen Chen and his party spent an hour sneaking around the police to the gate of Istanbul University, their old student ID cards were already in their hands.

Putting away their student ID cards, everyone walked into the university in a dignified manner.

Under the leadership of Xia Xing, they walked in the direction of the law school library like students who had just finished shopping and returned to school early because of the riots in the city.

There were many students walking beside them along the way. Chen Chen did not deliberately distance himself from these students, while Xia Xing listened to the students' conversation and communicated with Chen Chen in English in a low voice.

"They were talking about an attack."

"These conflicts have been completely classified as terrorist attacks, and Turkish officials have issued a public statement."

"However, these students were suspicious of the incident itself."

"Some of them saw what was going on and noticed the gunfire going on."

"Now, they are suspecting that this attack was a military coup. They are really imaginative."

Hearing Xia Xing's words, Chen Chen nodded calmly and replied:

"If it can really be led in this direction, it may not be a bad thing."

"But it's impossible."

Xia Xing coughed slightly and quickened his pace slightly.

Chen Chen followed her pace, and after turning a corner, the law school library building appeared in front of everyone.

Show your student ID, register your English name, and enter the building. Everything went smoothly.

Everyone entered the library one after another, and it was only then that Chen Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The size of this library is not too large, with only about three floors, and the area of ​​each floor is less than 2,000 square meters. For a powerful college in a well-known university like Istanbul University, it still seems a bit shabby.

However, being shabby also has its benefits.

Befitting its size, the library has a very small administrative staff.

In addition to a doorman at the front desk, there are only two security guards, two gray-haired cleaners, and a library administrator.

Almost all of these people were concentrated in the hall at the entrance to the library, while the power distribution room, utility room, and reading room that should have been manned were empty!

The conditions were almost perfect. Chen Chen did not hesitate and immediately gave everyone new instructions.

"Search for a suitable hiding place and find an opportunity to hide as soon as possible."

"Clearing the place will start no later than four hours later. No matter how uncomfortable the position you find is, just hold on for four hours and make sure no one is around before you come out."

"clear."

The order was given and everyone dispersed to hide.

Chen Chen, on the other hand, walked calmly to the reading area of ​​the library, and together with Xia Xing, walked between the bookshelves with a relaxed expression.

It was the weekend, and the entire library was filled with students who came to seek knowledge. They were completely immersed in their own world, and no one took a second look at Chen Chen.

The two walked silently through the narrow corridor between the bookshelves. After circling around, they finally found an uninhabited corner.

Chen Chen casually picked up a book from the bookshelf and held it in his hand, then walked to a window in the corner.

Xia Xing followed him almost every step of the way. Watching Chen Chen check the window, she asked curiously:

"Are you going to evacuate through the window?"

Chen Chen shook his head and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked with a smile:

"Are you curious about our actions?"

Xia Xing was stunned for a moment and replied:

"It's a learning mentality."

"To be honest, our actions are often dogmatic, and most of our experience comes from confrontations with unofficial organizations."

"They are drug dealers and gangsters. We have plenty of ways to deal with these people."

"But when dealing with the CIA and SVR, we actually don't know what to do, and the opportunities for learning are very limited."

"It seems now that you have much more experience than I do, so if I have the chance, I don't want to miss any detail."

"A good attitude - but it doesn't work."

Chen Chen nodded approvingly, and then explained:

"I observe everything from a combat perspective. For example, what I am considering now is whether this window can be used to place fire points."

"The windows in the reading room basically cannot be opened. They are blocked by fences and the shooting range is too narrow."

"It's good for observation, but it has no defensive use."

"However, all the windows here can be opened. You see, the fan blades here are movable and look like they were pried open by students."

At this point, Chen Chen's voice stopped abruptly.

Because he suddenly realized that this detail was an anomaly that should never occur.

Where are the students who know how to pry open a window? !

Why?

Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat, and then, looking directly at the window, he saw a building in the distance, hidden by the woods, that looked extremely awkward.

——

It's not because the building itself is so special, but because its location is too "easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Moreover, in urban Istanbul, where land is at a premium, there is actually a lawn with no function behind the building at Istanbul University!

Moreover, there were two cars parked at the door of the building that looked quite heavy and were obviously bulletproof.

The most important thing is that the building is adjacent to the side entrance of Istanbul University, which means that people entering the building do not need to go through the university campus at all.

Chen Chen frowned. He turned to Xia Xing and asked:

"What is that building for?"

Looking in the direction of his finger, Xia Xing replied:

"It is the dormitory of some foreign scholars. The specific ownership is unclear, but"

At this point, Xia Xing was suddenly stunned.

After a pause, she asked in disbelief:

"Are you suspecting that the CIA's headquarters in Istanbul is not in the consulate?!"

"This shouldn't be the case. We have conducted a thorough investigation before. At that time, there was no abnormal activity here."

"It doesn't have to be the headquarters, but there must be important people in that building."

"Maybe he just arrived recently."

"We have to leave quickly."

"If we are so unlucky and are hit directly by us, it will be very dangerous now."

"If we can see them, they can see us!"

"This library is their observation post. Martial law is about to begin. They will definitely send someone here!"

"If we are blocked here by them"

"etc."

Xia Xing interrupted Chen Chen and said:

"I think I know who the people are there."

"Andrea, head of the Middle East!"

"He arrived in Istanbul two weeks ago, and our comrade died while investigating his whereabouts. It seems that he is probably not in the consulate, but hiding in the university!"

"Andrea!?"

Chen Chen was stunned.

If this is true.

Is the murderer who will assassinate Soleimani in the future right in front of you? !
