The next afternoon, just past five o'clock, Bird City Airport welcomed seven male guests.
Six of them appeared to be of similar age, all in their twenties. Each man's expression was natural, though their eyes occasionally glistened with sharpness, and they all pulled large suitcases behind them. They looked as if they were returning from a trip or perhaps had come to Bird City on business.
Another man, in his forties, stood out conspicuously against the other six.
His expression was distinctly tense, gaze flickering uncertainly. He carried no luggage, his hands were folded and positioned near his lower abdomen. Stranger still, his writs were wrapped in cloth.
These six young men were none other than CSD members. The deputy team leader, Qin Xuyang, led the team members, Tian Guosheng, Yang Zewan, Yao Lizhen, Miao Haihao, and Ding Jian, to report in Bird City.
As for the man in his forties, he was one of the two spies captured by the security bureau yesterday, codenamed "Cricket."
