"It's really blocked in the city this time."

In the central area of Istanbul, in Saracan Park, Chen Shen looked at the helicopter in the sky and the layers of checkpoints on the road in the distance, and sat back on the lawn.

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

After completing the raid on the B&B, it took them two hours to reach the northern suburbs, and they planned to cross the Awat Natural Park, hike to Rumelifeneri on the Black Sea coast, and then swim back to Sultanbele, and then complete a rest, but unexpectedly, the CIA was indeed beaten to a certain extent.

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

As a result, the crowd had no choice but to turn back and return to the densely populated part of the city through the road that had not yet been completely blocked.

After all, in the case of not being able to get out directly, the more crowded the place, the safer they are.

This security is limited, as now, even if they are mixed in with a group of tourists, they have to be wary of the police who may come at any time to verify their identity.

But fortunately, the bombing of a safe house has not yet caused the whole of Istanbul to immediately enter the whole city into a state of martial law, and the large-scale manhunt of "ask people when you see them" has not yet begun, and Chen Shen still has time to formulate a final escape and hunting plan.

Li Gang pretended to sit casually on the bench next to him, controlling the open area where the enemy was most likely to appear, while Xia Xing sat next to Chen Shen and exchanged the latest information with him.

It's 2 p.m., and there's a good chance that the Turkish police will declare martial law in 4 hours, and when it gets dark, the whole city will go straight to the curfew."

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

"Your previous plan was very good, to burn the fire on the heads of Russia and Syria, and really muddy the waters."

"However, such chaos has a time limit."

"Two consecutive rounds of attacks, combined with peripheral surveillance and some civilian cameras, the CIA has been able to identify your ethnicity information anyway."

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

"Have you ever played peek-a-boo? You're about to be discovered, and now it's just a matter of who can run fast."

"I understand."

Chen Shen nodded slightly and replied:

"It was part of the plan."

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

"But now, the C.I.A. is clearly overreacting, so we're going to have to implement a 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 do it."

Xia Xing shook his head helplessly and said:

"We've done our best, but in the current situation, no one can get a pass to get you out of town, not even the Americans, not even the embassy."

"I don't want a pass out of town."

Chen Shen interrupted Xia Xing's words and continued:

"I want a pass to Istanbul University."

"Istanbul University!?"

Xia Xing was stunned for a moment, and then asked:

"You're going to hide in college?"

"Hiding in the university library, to be exact."

Chen Shen exhaled lightly and continued to explain:

"Generally speaking, in a search and arrest operation, the first thing to be targeted is all kinds of hotels and bars, followed by streets and alleys without jurisdiction, abandoned buildings, public facilities, and finally all kinds of public buildings."

"If possible, I'd like to 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 were less than a kilometre from Istanbul University, and we went in with our passes before martial law was officially announced."

"We just need to be in the library for two days."

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

"That's when the real hunt begins."

Hearing Chen Shen's words, Xia Xing's brows furrowed slightly.

After a moment of thought, she spoke:

"If you want to hide in the library, the library of Istanbul University Law School is really a good choice."

"The law school library is closed 24 hours a day, and there are often students here who read books all night, so they should not have to worry about being checked."

"However, after martial law is enacted, the university will inevitably require all students to return to their dormitories for roll call, and the entire library will inevitably be emptied."

"You need to find a way to avoid patrols, and at the same time make sure that the evacuation route is clear, how, how are you going to hide?"

Chen Shen did not hesitate and immediately replied:

"Improvisation."

"The library can't just have a library, and you can use all kinds of facilities such as power distribution rooms, toilets, and reading rooms."

"As soon as we can get in, we'll start looking for a suitable hiding place."

"Just like you said, play a game of peek-a-boo."

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

"If we can't find a suitable opportunity, then we'll withdraw and find a way to get into the dormitory."

"In short, it's definitely no worse than if we continue to stay in the open space, and it's totally worth trying."

"Understood, I'll do it now."

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

But after a moment, she sighed again and said:

"That's our problem, we're still too weak here."

"If it's the CIA, in this case, they can arrange at least 10 suitable hiding places for you."

"I'm sorry, we."

"Needless to say, I'm sorry."

Chen Shen interrupted Xia Xing and continued:

"Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be done one by one."

"Not now, it will get better later."

"Thank you."

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

It is true that it is not so easy for them to get a new, logical identification, but it is still very simple to get a fake student ID card or library access certificate.

After all, Istanbul University is inherently an open-ended attraction, and you don't need any documents to enter the campus, and there is no identification process.

The only thing they need to do is to forge their student IDs in a short period of time, so that Chen Shen and his party can enter the buildings on campus!

It's 2011, and all kinds of information at Istanbul University are not yet on the Internet, and student IDs are completely paper, and the difficulty of forgery can be said to be low to almost none. Xia Xing's mission went very smoothly, and when Chen Shen and his party spent an hour bypassing the police and sneaking to the gate of Istanbul University, the old student ID card had already been delivered to them.

Putting away the student ID card, everyone walked into the university in a grand manner.

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

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

"They're talking about the attack."

"These clashes have been thoroughly characterized as terrorist attacks, and Turkish officials have made public statements."

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

"Some of them saw the scene and noticed the shootout on both sides."

"Now they are suspecting that the attack was a military coup. Imagination is abundant. ”

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

"If we can really lead in this direction, it is not necessarily a bad thing."

"But it can't be."

Xia Xing coughed lightly and quickened his pace slightly.

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

Showing your student ID, registering your English name, and entering the building, everything went very smoothly.

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

The size of this library is not too large, there are only about three floors above and below, and the area of each floor is less than 2,000 square meters, which is still a bit shabby for a strong college of a well-known university like Istanbul University.

However, shabby also has shabby benefits.

Matching its size, the library has very few administrators.

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

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

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

"Find a suitable hiding position and find an opportunity to hide as soon as possible."

"The clearance will start in 4 hours at the latest, no matter how aggrieved the position you are looking for, hold on to me for four hours, and then come out after making sure that no one is there."

"Understood."

The order was given, and everyone dispersed to hide.

Chen Shen, on the other hand, walked unhurriedly to the reading area of the library, and with Xia Xing, he easily shuttled between the bookshelves.

It was the weekend, and the entire library was full of students who had come to seek knowledge, they were completely immersed in their own world, and no one looked at Chen Shen more.

The two silently walked through the narrow corridor between the bookshelves, and after circling around, they finally found a corner where no one was around.

Chen Shen 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 inch, watching Chen Shen's movements in checking the window, she asked curiously:

"Are you going to evacuate through the window?"

Chen Shen shook his head and did not answer directly, but asked with a smile:

"You're curious about our actions?"

Xia Xing was stunned for a moment and replied:

"It's a learning mentality."

"Seriously, a lot of our actions are still a bit dogmatic, and most of our experience comes from confrontation with non-official organizations."

"What kind of drug dealers, gangsters, how to deal with these people, we have a way."

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

"Now it seems that you have a lot more experience than I do, so I don't want to miss a single detail if I have the chance."

"Good mentality-—— but it didn't work."

Chen Shen nodded approvingly, and then explained:

"I'm looking at everything from a combat point of view, for example, what I'm thinking about now is whether this window can be equipped with a fire point."

"The windows in the reading room are basically impossible to open, there are fences blocking them, and the shooting range is too narrow."

"It's good as an observation, but it's not defensive."

"But the windows here are all openable, and you see, the fan blades here are movable, and they look like they were pried open by the students."

Speaking of this, Chen Shen's voice stopped abruptly.

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

Where did the students come from to pry the windows?!

Why?

Chen Shen's heart jumped suddenly, and then, looking directly across the window, he saw that in the distance, under the shade of the trees, there was a building that seemed extremely abrupt.

——

It's not because of how special the building itself is, but because it's located in a location that's too "easy to defend and hard to attack".

And, in the city of Istanbul, where every inch of land is at a premium, in Istanbul University, there is actually a lawn without any function at the back of that building!

Moreover, there are two cars parked at the entrance of the building, which are quite heavy at first glance, apparently bulletproof.

On top of that, that building is right next to the side entrance of Istanbul University, which means that people who enter that building do not need to walk through the university campus at all.

Chen Shen's brows furrowed, he turned to Xia Xing and asked:

"What is that building for?"

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

"It's a dormitory for some foreign scholars, and the specific ownership is unclear, but"

Speaking of this, Xia Xing was suddenly stunned.

After a pause, she asked incredulously:

"Are you suspicious, the headquarters of the CIA in Istanbul, not in the consulate?!"

"It shouldn't be, we did a survey before, and at that time, there was no anomalous activity here"

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

"Perhaps, I just arrived recently."

"We need to get out of here."

"If it's really that unlucky, if we hit it directly, it's already dangerous now."

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

"This library is their observation post, martial law is about to begin, they will definitely send someone over!"

"If they get stuck here"

"Wait."

Xia Xing interrupted Chen Shen's words and said:

"I seem to know who the people are there."

"Andrea, head of the Middle East!"

"He arrived in Istanbul two weeks ago, and our comrades died in the mission to investigate his whereabouts. In this way, it is likely that he is not in the consulate, but in the university! ”

"Andrea!?"

Chen Shen was dumbfounded.

If this is true.

The murderer of Soleimani in the future is right in front of his eyes?!
