Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 360 Ignored Place

"Inukai-kun, I understand. As long as Yang Xuewu is still in danger, we will catch him sooner or later." Jiro Matsumoto said confidently.

Although no trace of Yang Xuewu was found last night, Jiro Matsumoto was confident that he could find Yang Xuewu.

If Yang Xuewu was just an ordinary person, then what Matsumoto Jiro said was very correct. If an ordinary person was surrounded by such a large Japanese force, he would be caught sooner or later, but Yang Xuewu was not an ordinary person.

Even if he didn't hide in Ichiro Yoshino's house, Yang Xuewu could use his ability to change his appearance to transform into other Japanese, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to evade the Japanese search.

"I hope so. Otherwise, we will lose face. Tell the people below not to let go of any suspicious points or any corners. Yang Xuewu is very cunning. If we don't search carefully, he may get away with it."

"Inukai-kun, I understand. What I mean is that we two will lead the search today. What do you think of that, Inukai-kun?"

Hearing this, Inuyanga thought for a moment and said, "I think it's feasible."

"Mr. Matsumoto, let me tell you how to do this. You search the homes of our two department members, and I'll search the homes of the other officers. I'll let the people below search the rest. What do you think?"

"I think it's great. Inukai-kun is very thoughtful."

"Okay, let's get started."

After the two men discussed the plan, they each started searching with their men, and Ichiro Yoshino, who had not slept all night, was among them.

In fact, since learning the news last night, Ichiro Yoshino has been in a state of tension. He is afraid that Yang Xuewu will be arrested because the lives of his family are in Yang Xuewu's hands.

Jiro Matsumoto was responsible for searching the homes of all members of the Special Higher Police and the Ume Agency. In other words, if Yang Xuewu was searched at Ichiro Yoshino's home, there was a high probability that Yang Xuewu would be found.

But Yang Xuewu came to Yoshino Ichiro's house last night, so how could he not make some preparations?

After Yang Xuewu hid in Yoshino Ichiro's house last night, he realized that hiding in Yoshino Ichiro's house was not a long-term solution, at least not during the day, because the Japanese would definitely come to his house to search, so Yang Xuewu left Yoshino Ichiro's house when it was almost dawn.

His hiding place is easy to guess, it is in the sewer not far from Ichiro Yoshino's home.

Would the Japanese think that he was hiding in the sewer? Maybe, but maybe not. Generally speaking, people tend to only pay attention to what they see with their own eyes, and will subconsciously ignore what is in the sky and underground.

Even if the Japanese could think of the possibility that Yang Xuewu was hiding in the sewers, it would require a huge amount of manpower to search for him. On the other hand, for Yang Xuewu, the criss-crossing sewers were much safer for him than the ground.

As he expected, around noon, Jiro Matsumoto brought his men to Ichiro Yoshino's house to search.

While others were searching, Ichiro Yoshino's eyes fell on the table. When he saw the arrangement of cups on the table, Yoshino's heart was filled with huge ripples.

Ichiro Yoshino had previously guessed whether Yang Xuewu would hide in his house. Now he could confirm that Yang Xuewu must have been to his house.

Because his usual habit was to put the teacup away after drinking tea, but the teacup was still on the table at this time. He did not come to his house last night, so even if someone came to his house to search, no one would touch the cup on the table. Apart from this, there was only one possibility left, that Yang Xuewu had come to his house and it was Yang Xuewu who moved the cup.

"Yoshino, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Ichiro Yoshino's eyes were fixed on the table, a colleague next to him pulled him.

Hearing this, Yoshino Ichiro came back to his senses immediately, smiled bitterly and said, "I've been busy all night, and I'm so tired now. When I got home, I thought it would be great if I could have a good sleep."

Yoshino Ichiro responded quickly and gave a reasonable explanation, which did not arouse his colleagues' suspicion. "Hahaha, I think the same as you, but there is definitely no time to rest today. Once we catch Yang Xuewu, there will be plenty of time to rest."

"Yes, we hope we can catch Yang Xuewu as soon as possible." Yoshino Ichiro echoed.

Just then, a voice came from outside the house, "Sir, we have searched everywhere, no one is there."

"Okay, let's go to the next one."

Upon hearing this, everyone started to leave Ichiro Yoshino's house. Ichiro Yoshino was the last one to leave. Although he didn't know where Yang Xuewu was hiding now, he knew that Yang Xuewu must be near his house.

Yang Xuewu, who was hiding in the sewer at the moment, of course also heard these conversations, but this was all within his expectations.

……

It was evening when Inukai met Matsumoto Jiro with a gloomy face.

Seeing Jiro Matsumoto's gloomy face, Inukai knew that Jiro Matsumoto, like him, had gained nothing.

However, Inukai still asked, "Matsumoto-kun, did you get anything?"

Hearing this, Matsumoto Jiro shook his head and said, "I searched everyone's home carefully, but found nothing."

Hearing this, Inuyango frowned. When they first learned that Yang Xuewu was blocked in Hongkou, Inuyango and Matsumoto Jiro were in high spirits, thinking that Yang Xuewu was already trapped in a jar. However, after searching all night last night, they failed to find any trace of Yang Xuewu.

They originally thought that it was too dark last night, so it was understandable that they didn't find Yang Xuewu who was hiding. They should be able to find him during the day. But a whole day passed, they searched the entire Hongkou, and didn't miss a single place. All the intersections were blocked, but they still couldn't find any trace of Yang Xuewu. This was really discouraging.

"Mr. Matsumoto, we have searched everywhere, but there is no trace of Yang Xuewu. Where do you think he is hiding?"

After hearing this, Matsumoto Jiro thought for a moment and replied, "In my opinion, Yang Xuewu has either escaped from Hongkou or is hiding in a place we haven't noticed yet."

"It's impossible to escape from Hongkou. Although some people went out from Hongkou today, their identities can withstand investigation. It's absolutely impossible for Yang Xuewu to escape. Just like you said, Yang Xuewu must be hiding in a place we haven't noticed yet."

"But what is the place we haven't noticed yet? Yang Xuewu can't go up to the sky or down to the earth, right?"

As soon as Inuyango finished speaking, Inuyango and Matsumoto Jiro were stunned, then they looked at each other, and they thought of the same place at the same time.

"It seems that Matsumoto-kun has also thought of it?" Seeing the joy on Jiro Matsumoto's face, Inukai said with a smile.

"Yes, although we have searched everywhere, we have overlooked the underground and we have not searched the sewers yet."

"I think the same as Mr. Matsumoto. We have indeed overlooked the sewers. We did not find Yang Xuewu on the ground. I think there is a high possibility that he is hiding in the sewers."

"I think so too. We need to search the sewer as soon as possible without delay." Jiro Matsumoto said excitedly.

"Okay, I'll leave the search for the sewers to you, Matsumoto-kun. I'll stay on the ground and keep an eye on the sewer passages to prevent Yang Xuewu from escaping."
