Chapter 8 Chapter 8: The Oriole Behind

"I brought all the newspapers." Su Zitong took out a piece of "Spring Voice" from his arms, "The content in it is quite powerful, and it can corrupt the souls of the party and state soldiers. In my opinion, it should be destroyed." "No," Zhang Zui shook his head, "Due to the long-term corruption of this newspaper, officers at all levels of our independent division have long been deeply poisoned. This can only be said to stop the poisonous fire attacking the body, and it will not achieve the purpose of curing the root cause. Since they It's a terminal illness, we have to take strong medicine, and we can't save the independent teacher without strong medicine."

After Su Zitong left, Zhang Zui stayed for a while before leaving the old local teahouse. Tonight's harvest was great, and Zhang Zui was in a good mood. When he rushed back to the gendarmerie and passed by Chu Xiangxue's room, he found that the light was still on. Xiangxue hasn't slept yet, what is she doing?Zhang Zui couldn't help but came to the door of Chu Xiangxue's room, and was about to knock on the door when he heard another woman in the room.It's so late, who is still in Xiangxue House?He held his voice and listened carefully, it was Li Man'e's voice——

"Xiangxue, where did Team Leader Zhang go tonight?" "I don't know. He didn't say he was going outside tonight." "You lied to me again, maybe he hasn't come back yet." "I don't even know, how do you know?" "Your uncle was looking for him for something, but he didn't see anyone else." Zhang Zui was startled: This woman, she asked about me! Zhang Zui didn't dare to stay any longer, he left quietly, and came to Li Ruyou's residence - Li Ruyou and Ding Yizu were still waiting for him. "Team Leader Zhang, how is the situation?" Li Ruyou hurriedly gave up his seat to Zhang Zui.

"More optimistic than expected. Wait patiently, there will be good news." Zhang Zui sat down. "Is there really a Communist Party in the Independent Division?" Ding Yizuo handed Zhang Zui a cup of hot tea. "It's possible." Zhang Zui took a sip of the tea. "I hope this time it won't be like the previous few times." Ding Yizuo said with concern. "In my opinion, the key to success is that the confidentiality work is not in place." Li Ruyou said. "If some comrades are right, we must not leak information about our actions this time." Zhang Zui said solemnly, "Whoever leaks information will be severely punished!"

"Team leader, I have a suggestion—" Li Ruwang looked at Zhang Zui, and swallowed the words again. "You say, it's okay." Zhang Zui encouraged. "It's best that only the three of us know about this operation." Li Ruyou said boldly. Zhang Zui thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, this is a very good suggestion." "Also, Captain Chu seemed to be aware of what we were doing in private behind his back, and asked me intentionally or unintentionally many times. But I didn't reveal a word to him." Li Ruyou reported. "Li Man'e also asked me about it, but I didn't say anything." Ding Yizuo looked at Zhang Zui, "She can't get anything from me, so she tried every means to get ideas from Secretary Chu. This woman, I really don't know how she is. What heart!"

Zhang Zui didn't seem to be very interested in what the two subordinates mentioned. He raised his wrist and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early. Starting tomorrow, all my calls will come here. Please pay attention to registering clearly. If you're calling from 'from home', let me know right away." Zhang Zui came out of Li Ruyou's room, and went to Chu Xiangxue's door by detour. Seeing that the light inside was still on, and Li Man'e hadn't left, he coughed a few times on purpose. Zhang Zui returned to the house and took a shower. When he came out of the bathroom, he saw a black shadow flashing outside the bedroom window... He couldn't help but sneered, and then turned off the light...

During working hours the next day, Zhang Zui went back to his original office, and he didn't come in for a few days, the windows here were still clean - he knew that it was all Chu Xiangxue's doing.Since the alert was lifted, Chu Liyan and Chu Xiangxue moved back, and he was the only one left here, occasionally Li Ruyou and Ding Yizu would come over.Ordinarily, Chu Xiangxue should come here often, but recently she has been watched very closely by Li Man'e. The interior furnishings are very simple, only a few old-fashioned desks and a few wicker chairs.The only thing that shows any hint of the times is a telephone on the desk.It was a brand new telephone, apparently just replaced.It used to be a very old machine, and the sound was often hard to hear. Chu Liyan said many times that it would be replaced, but it took a long time, and now it is finally replaced.

Seeing the phone, I remembered something in my mind, so I grabbed the receiver. The call was connected, and the voice was really clear. It was Chu Liyan who answered the call. "Hi, I'm the Gendarmerie, who are you looking for?" "Captain Chu, it's me." "Oh, Team Leader Zhang, hello. What are you up to so late?" "Do nothing, wait for the superior to deal with, and then leave Jiangnan City in despair. Commander Chu, I heard that you asked me for something yesterday. What's the matter?" "It's okay. When did I call you yesterday? Who did you hear from?" Chu Liyan looked surprised on the other end of the phone.

"I didn't hear from anyone. Yesterday I went outside to relax. I thought you would find me. I had nothing else to do. When I saw the new phone, I thought of calling you." Zhang Zui's tone seemed very casual. "How is it? Is it okay?" Chu Liyan asked flatteringly. "The voice is very loud and clear, as if speaking next to you, Commander Chu, thank you!" "You're welcome, it should have been changed long ago." Zhang Zui hung up the phone, carefully considered Chu Liyan's words, and felt that there was no need for him to lie. Then, there was only one possibility: Li Man'e was watching him, knowing that he had gone outside, and then asked Chu Xiangxue about the facts. Why did she find such an excuse on the spot when she knew so well.

Sitting here besides drinking tea and smoking, there is really nothing to do. He was about to leave when the phone rang suddenly. He subconsciously guessed that it was Chu Liyan calling.He picked up the microphone, but it was Li Ruyou's voice—— "Team Leader Zhang, I have a phone call from my hometown." "Understood, I'll be right over." Zhang Zui put down the microphone and hurried to Li Ruyou's residence.As soon as we met, Li Ruyou told him, "He's from my hometown. He called just now, and he said that your friend put a note on the door." "Understood, don't spread the word, just pretend it's nothing." Zhang Zui dropped a sentence, and left like a gust of wind.

When Zhang Zui arrived, Su Zitong was already sitting in the "family" box. "Team Leader Zhang, you came up so fast, I just came up too." Su Zitong stood up and said. Zhang Zui sat down, panting a bit because he was too anxious: "No hurry, just speak slowly." "That Staff Officer Jiang is indeed the Communist Party." "Did he see you again tonight?" "Yes, the matter is so important that I am so anxious to see you. He asked me to use my work to publish the "Voice of Spring". He knows that I set up sentries everywhere in the division, and I am the sentry I set the password, and I was the only one who could walk freely in the division at any time. He asked me to stuff newspapers under the officers’ doors in the dead of night, so that nothing would go wrong.” "Fortunately, they figured it out. There is really no one in the world who is more suitable for this job than you. So what do you plan for yourself?" "I don't have any plans, just listen to you." "That's not right, you should have your own opinion, talk about your own." "I brought all the newspapers." Su Zitong took out a piece of "Spring Voice" from his arms, "The content in it is quite powerful, and it can corrupt the souls of the party and state soldiers. In my opinion, it should be destroyed." "No," Zhang Zui shook his head, "Due to the long-term corruption of this newspaper, officers at all levels of our independent division have long been deeply poisoned. This can only be said to stop the poisonous fire attacking the body, and it will not achieve the purpose of curing the root cause. Since they It's a terminal illness, we have to take strong medicine, and we can't save the independent teacher without strong medicine." "Drugs?" Su Zitong looked at Zhang Zui in confusion. "Yes, this is the best opportunity. We just plan on the plan. You accept this task and do it well, gain their trust, and then penetrate into their interior... At that time, hehe..." Zhang Drunk for a while grinning. "Team Leader Zhang is really amazing!" Su Zitong finally understood and held out his thumb. "You did a good job. I will credit the credit to the team leader. Is there anything else?" "When I came out, I said I was buying medicine and I couldn't stay outside for too long," Su Zitong said. "Very good, you already know how to protect yourself. You go first." Zhang Zui smiled and stretched his hand across the coffee table to say goodbye to Su Zitong. "Be careful not to go the same way, make a few more detours, and be careful not to be watched." It's lunch break.Li Man'e appeared at Zhang Zui's door like a ghost, and she saw that the door was closed tightly, with a big copper lock hanging on the door. She stood at the door for half a minute, then left. When he got home, Chu Liyan had already eaten at the restaurant.He glanced at Li Man'e, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "The meal is ready, where did you go?" "I thought you wouldn't be back for a while, so I wandered around." Li Man'e sat down and held a bowl, "Hey, I haven't talked about you yet, why didn't I catch up with dinner today?" "Being the head of the regiment has a lot of things to do." Chu Liyan said perfunctorily. "You still think of yourself as the leader, in the eyes of others. You are not even a shit!" "Don't be so loud, okay, let others hear it." Chu Liyan looked out the window nervously. "You look like a mouse. The cat went out and hasn't come back yet." "Team leader Zhang went out? No way, he called me in the office this morning." Chu Liyan stopped eating. "Not only do you not know where he went, but he might sell you one day, and you have to help count the money." Li Man'e sneered, "Since he came, you seem to have been eunuched." "What are you talking about!" Chu Liyan was angry, and he slammed the bowl on the table, "Do you think I feel better? You haven't seen what I was like in the past. Ever since the emperor came... Oh, no have eaten!" "Liyan, people are iron and rice is steel, so how can you do it if you don't have enough to eat." Li Man'e picked up the rice and handed it to Chu Liyan, her tone softened, "I know you feel uncomfortable, I'm thinking of you. " "I know," Chu Liyan took the bowl and said, "I just wanted to solve the case quickly and send this plague god away. But after a lot of tossing, I didn't even see the shadow of the Communist Party, and in turn they took me as a thief. The organization is already dissatisfied with me, so can I have a good life?" "Then what are you going to do?" Li Man'e looked at Chu Liyan. "He won't let me have a good time, and he won't even think about it!" Chu Liyan gritted his teeth. "Yes, it should be like this!" Li Man'e echoed. "He's doing it secretly without telling me now, and I don't know how they are progressing." Chu Liyan frowned again. "Once I heard from Xiangxue that they had shifted the focus of their work to the independent division. Zhang Zui has been busy these days, and it seems that there is a clue. Old Chu, you just said that Zhang Zui is today. I called you, what did he say on the phone?" "He asked me what I wanted to do with him yesterday. It's really inexplicable. I didn't look for him at all yesterday. It seems that he was guilty and afraid that I would pay attention to him. You are right, he should have some clues. " "When did he call?" "About nine o'clock." "That's right. He left the office after 9 o'clock, first went to Li Ruyou's place, and then left the door as if he was being chased by a ghost. I was about to watch, but Li Ruyou stopped me. " "So that's how it is." Chu Liyan stood up and was about to go out. "Where are you going? We haven't finished our meal yet. Hey, hey..." Li Man'e waved and called. "I'm full. I'll go out and be right back." Chu Liyan left without saying a word. Chu Liyan came back less than 10 minutes after going out, panting heavily, and said, "That's right, what are they doing without telling me." "How do you know?" Li Man'e had already cleaned up the dishes and untied her scarf to wipe the water stains on her hands. "I installed a recorder in the phone. Not long after Zhang Zui called me, Li Ruyou also called to ask Zhang Zui to come over quickly, saying that someone was looking for him, which coincided with what you saw." Chu Liyan slowly Let's say it out of breath. "No wonder he is often away from the office. He regards Li Ruyou's place as a place to discuss matters." Li Man'e suddenly realized, "What are they doing?" "There is only one possibility," Chu Liyan said firmly, "They have already found clues to the Communist Party from the Independent Division." "If so, what should you do?" Li Man'e asked. "Let's do a 'praying mantis jumping at the cicada, the oriole is behind'." Chu Liyan gritted his teeth and said. "What's the meaning?" "They keep an eye on the Communist Party, so we will keep an eye on them. When they find the Communist Party's hideout, we will also find out, and then one will strike first and take the credit!" Chu Liyan said proudly. "This method is good. Old Chu, what can I do for you?" "Help me keep an eye on Zhang Zui." "Stop staring at Xiangxue?" "It's useless to stare at her. This is Zhang Zui's plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain. He lets Xiangxue restrain you, so he can let go." "Liyan, I have to go." Li Man'e stood up suddenly. "Where are you going?" Chu Liyan looked at Li Man'e puzzled. "Zhang Zui is likely to be back soon, I have to wait for him outside - he must have important news to bring back." "It's really you. It seems that you are a genius for being a spy, and you can learn without a teacher." Chu Liyan praised. Outside the gate of the gendarmerie, there is a temporary vegetable market.Li Man'e walked into the market with a vegetable basket, bought a few handfuls of green onions and put them in the basket, wrapped her head in a scarf, and sat in an inconspicuous place dressed as a vegetable vendor.Here, she can clearly see every move at the gate.When someone came to buy green onions, she purposely called out the price very high, and quickly sent them away.She could concentrate on watching the movement at the gate of the Gendarmerie. After sitting for less than an hour, Zhang Zui really appeared at the gate. She quickly took off her headscarf and followed Zhang Zui at a certain distance. After Zhang Zui entered the gendarmerie, he didn't go back to his residence, but went straight to Li Ruyou's place - this Li Man'e had expected. Li Ruyou's residence was next to the garage, and it was originally planned to be a repair room. Zhang Zui chose the secluded place, let Li Ruyou and Ding Yizu live in it, and installed a telephone. Zhang Zui came to Li Ruyou's door and didn't rush in. He pretended to be nonchalant and stood there for a while, making sure no one was paying attention, before knocking lightly on the door. After waiting for Zhang Zui to go in, Li Man'e also came out from the dark place, pretended to be wandering around, and walked around behind the garage.The back of the garage is a wall more than two meters high. Between the garage and the wall is a long and narrow drainage channel less than two feet wide. Usually, there are few people here, so it becomes the world of rats. Rats also swagger in and out here.The end of the water well is the back wall of the repair room - where Li Ruyou and the others live. After some observation, Li Man'e found that even if Zhang Zui and the others found that someone was bugging the rear window, they had to go around a long garage to get to the rear wall. This process was enough to escape calmly.Thinking of this, she walked into the narrow alley without hesitation... In this dark and humid place where rats ruled the world, someone suddenly broke in. The rats panicked and burrowed into the hole one after another. Li Man'e finally came to the back window of the repair room, and she heard Zhang Zui talking secretly with his subordinates... Chu Liyan's judgment was correct, they found the Communist Party at the Independent Division! Perhaps because she was too excited, she forgot that she was eavesdropping. When she adjusted her position, there was a lot of friction between her body and the wall. The sound was so small that ordinary people could hardly feel it.But all the spies gathered in the room were watching all directions and listening to all directions. The moment the friction sounded, the conversation in the room stopped abruptly, and then there was a slight sound of opening the door... Li Man'e was surprised: I was found ...
