Chapter 9 Chapter Nine This Woman Is Unusual

"Where is Head Chu, what is he busy with?" Zhang Zui moved a chair for Chu Xiangxue, as if asking casually. "He went to the office with me, but was called back by Li Man'e halfway." Chu Xiangxue sat down. "What is this Li Man'e's background?" Zhang Zui also sat down. "She was my uncle's childhood sweetheart's first love." "Why didn't they officially get married?" Zhang Zui was full of doubts. This woman is unusual. Zhang Zui returned to Li Ruyou's residence from the old local teahouse. He did not disclose all the contents of Su Zitong's report to his subordinates, and he never even mentioned the name "Su Zitong".However, he frankly told Li and Ding that he had confirmed that there was a Communist Party in the Independent Division.How it was confirmed is not suitable for the time being, let alone startle the snake.When the time is right, we will catch them all... At this point, Zhang Zui suddenly heard an abnormal sound behind the window, he stopped talking immediately, and pointed behind with his finger.Li Ruyou reacted immediately, opened the door gently, and walked around the 50-meter garage to the back wall like a fly. The mice are gone...

"What is it?" Zhang Zui rushed to ask afterward. "I didn't see anything, nothing." Li Ruyou replied. "That's weird, I clearly heard the sound of the clothes rubbing against the wall." Zhang Zui said it with a nose and eyes. "I didn't hear it. I thought you saw a figure and came after you in a hurry." Li Ruyou asked Ding Yizu, "Did you hear the sound?" "What sound did you hear? I don't even understand what you guys are doing out of nowhere?" Ding Yizu felt bewildered. "Impossible, my sense of hearing has never been wrong." Zhang Zui got into the narrow alley, wanting to find out.

The pond below is covered with moss, and you can vaguely see someone stepping on it. Zhang Zui pointed at these footprints, and Li Ruyou had to admire the extraordinaryness of his superiors.From the rear window of the residence, they clearly saw two strings of shoe prints that had just been stepped on on the walls on both sides from bottom to top... "The eavesdropper stepped on two walls and fled to the fence." Li Ruyou said, pointing to the shoe prints. "Who is he? He is so courageous!" Zhang Zui asked himself. "It must be Li Man'e!" Li Ruyou said, "When you went out today, she followed you, and I found out."

"No, I'm wondering how she could do this." Zhang Zui straddled his body, put his feet on two walls, supported it with his hands, moved his feet upwards, and climbed up to the top of the wall using both limbs.On the other side of the wall is the vegetable field in the camp, and under the wall are two deep footprints... "Team leader, can you see people?" Li Ruyou asked from below. "He's not dead, how can he see it?" Zhang Zui jumped down, "I can see clearly, it's a woman's footprints." "Then it's even more proof that it's her! There's a vegetable field over there, and we can only go back after a detour. Let's go to her house and intercept her immediately!" Li Ruyou suggested.

"No need, just pretend it didn't happen." Zhang Zui patted the dirt on his hands. The two walked out of the narrow alley.Ding Yizu who had been guarding outside asked, "Team Leader Zhang, what did you find?" "A wild cat has fled to the vegetable field." Zhang Zui casually said. "There are a lot of rats in the camp, so it's not surprising that there are wild cats." Ding Yizu walked away disappointed. The three returned to the repair room, Zhang Zui called Li Ruyou to his side. "Call Secretary Chu for me. If Chu Liyan is present, that's fine."

"At this time, Head Chu may be listening to Li Man'e's report. He must be in the office later." Li Ruyou left after speaking. Zhang Zui chatted with Ding Yizu for a while in the room, and Chu Xiangxue came over.Ding Yizuo looked at Chu Xiangxue, then at Zhang Zui, and left knowingly. "Where is Head Chu, what is he busy with?" Zhang Zui moved a chair for Chu Xiangxue, as if asking casually. "He went to the office with me, but was called back by Li Man'e halfway." Chu Xiangxue sat down. "What is this Li Man'e's background?" Zhang Zui also sat down.

"She was my uncle's childhood sweetheart's first love." "Why didn't they officially get married?" Zhang Zui was full of doubts. "Li Man'e was born in a poor family. My grandfather disagreed. My uncle was forced to marry a well-matched rich family. After marriage, he had no feelings, so he came out to work. Years later, my uncle knew that Li Man'e had been celibate for him, and was very moved. Just take it with you. My uncle is afraid of my aunt, and calls her a nanny to the outside world, and she doesn't fight for any title." "So it's like this, this Li Man'e is really unusual." Zhang Zui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Team leader, why are you asking these questions?" "She's been staring at me a lot lately." "She stared at me too, very hard." "A housewife, it's a little—how can I say that—to get into the habit of doing that." "It's not surprising. She is a restless person. She is afraid that my uncle will suffer, so she always wants to do something for him." "It seems that your uncle is really a blessed man." Zhang Zui looked at Chu Xiangxue affectionately, "I don't know if I have the same blessing as Captain Chu."

"Team leader, you called me here just to ask about Li Manye's life experience?" Chu Xiangxue deliberately avoided talking. "Of course this is just one of them," Zhang Zui calmed down and sighed, "I also want to ask you for a favor." "Are you and I still so polite?" Chu Xiangxue smiled brightly. "I'm doing something right now—" Zhang Zui paused, and stopped talking. "Looking at your mysterious appearance, is it really that important?" Chu Xiangxue asked. "Temporary secret, you will know when the time comes." Zhang Zui pretended to be profound.

"If you don't tell me, I'm too lazy to help you!" Chu Xiangxue acted petty. "Xiangxue, listen to me. As far as this matter is concerned, it's hard to say whether it will be a success or a failure. I don't know if you believe it or not, but I have a hunch that it is difficult to succeed in anything that is exposed beforehand...Really, this It’s not superstition, there are many things in the dark that cannot be explained clearly.” "Looking at you like this, you think I really want to know." Chu Xiangxue said angrily, "Tell me, what do you need my help for?"

"Li Man'e is staring at me very closely. I want to ask you to help me out. As long as you hold her back, I can handle this matter freely." "She is an idler. I have a job. How can I hold her back. Unless I don't do anything, others will suspect it." "I'm talking about free time or holidays—it's impossible for me to do errands all the time!" Zhang Zui smiled at Chu Xiangxue. Besides, when Li Man'e made a detour from the vegetable field and returned to his residence, Chu Liyan was already on his way to work with his file bag in his hands, and Chu Xiangxue was walking in front of him. "Liyan, the military uniform you're wearing hasn't been washed yet, go back and change." Li Man'e called Chu Liyan to a halt. Chu Liyan understood what Li Manye meant, he greeted Chu Xiangxue, and followed Li Manye back to the house. "Looking at you like this, there must be good news." Chu Liyan closed the door and looked at Li Man'e. "It's a good news. I almost didn't lose my soul. That Zhang Zui is simply the ear of the myth. I hid behind the window, and he knew it when I wiped the wall." "What did you hear?" Chu Liyan asked eagerly. "Hey, you didn't ask me if I was scared, but instead I cared about other people's affairs. Is it important for me or the matter?" "Of course you are important, but you are already here well, and it would be nonsense to ask one more question." "You know sophistry, I have been cheated by you all my life." "Are you willing to be deceived by me? Tell me, what did you hear?" Li Manye became serious and said, "Sure enough, Zhang Zui has found the Communist Party in the Independent Division." "Who is it, and what's his name?" "He didn't say his name." "Isn't this nonsense? With so many people in the Independent Division, a fool can guess that the Communist Party is hidden there. Without a name, how do you find it? Looking for a needle in a haystack?" "I think since Zhang Zui knows, we will have a solution." Li Man'e said confidently. "Are you staring at Zhang Zui?" "No, they have already suspected me, and they must send someone to watch me. The way I said is to find someone else." "Who are you looking for? Is it reliable?" Chu Liyan said worriedly. "You don't need to worry about this, I've already thought about it. You go back to the office right away, and if Xiangxue asks, just say I went grocery shopping." When Chu Liyan returned to the office, he did not see Chu Xiangxue. He asked Lieutenant Yang Ligong to find out that she was called by Li Ruyou not long after she came to the office. A deep old street.On the archway at the entrance of the street, there are three ancient characters in big books-inkstone pond.Li Man'e dressed up as a rich lady and walked into the street. She asked an old man who came out to take out the garbage: "Old man, which street does Liu Shaoxiong live in?" "Go inside, then go in about twenty feet and you will be there." The old man pointed to the depths of the street. Li Man'e estimated that she had walked about twenty feet away. She stopped and waited for a while, just as an old woman came out to pour dirty water into the gutter. "Auntie, does Liu Shaoxiong live here?" Li Man'e asked politely. "Just live here," the old woman pointed to the neighbor, "he's still sleeping at this time." "What time is it in the afternoon, are you still sleeping?" Li Man'e asked in surprise. "He works in an oil factory. He works night shift. It has been like this for the past few years, but he may wake up. Let me wake you up." The old woman walked to the next room with a three-inch golden lotus and knocked on the door, "Mr. Xiong, there are guests at your house, open the door quickly." The old woman knocked on the door for a long time before anyone answered. After a while, Liu Shaoxiong came out in disheveled clothes. He stared at Li Man'e, scratched his head and said, "I think you look familiar, but I can't remember where I met you." Yes. Do you have anything to do with me?" "Someone must come to see you for something, why don't you hurry up and invite the guests into the house!" The old woman said enthusiastically, "Are you here to match the young bear?" "Yeah, I'm here for a matchmaker." Li Man'e followed suit, and entered the room without waiting for Liu Shaoxiong to speak. This is a very old old house, which is full of household details in a mess. Li Man'e was thinking about where to talk, when the old woman led a large group of neighbors to squeeze in to watch the excitement. Li Man'e frowned and said, "Young bear, let's find a place to talk." "Yes, yes, it's not like a place to talk here. Go find a teahouse on the street. Hurry up and change into new clothes. You don't look like a wife. Oh, you've done a great job. This The house is in a mess, it's time for a woman to tidy it up." The old woman said, holding Li Man'e's hand. Liu Shaoxiong quickly changed into a bamboo cloth gown, quietly led Li Man'e through the back door, and took a shortcut to the street. The two found a quiet teahouse on the street, and after they sat down, Liu Shaoxiong couldn't help asking: "Who are you? I really can't remember." After Dr. Tea made the tea and walked out of the box, Li Man'e said, "Who am I? You'll find out after a while." Liu Shaoxiong looked at Li Man'e carefully, and finally thought about it suddenly, and said, "I remember, I'm in the Gendarmerie...don't look for me anymore. Since that time, I've washed my hands and stopped stealing mail." "Don't be afraid, I definitely didn't come to trouble you." Li Man'e said comfortingly. "Then, why did you come to see me?" Liu Shaoxiong was extremely nervous. Li Man'e didn't answer.After a long while, he put a bag of things on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Liu Shaoxiong, saying, "I'm not a matchmaker, I specially send you money to marry your wife." Liu Shaoxiong saw that there were at least dozens of yuan in the paper bag, his eyes turned green immediately, he stretched out his hand to caress nervously, then let go of his hand reluctantly, and said: "You will not be rewarded for nothing, I don't know if I can take this money." .” "You can take it with confidence, what I want you to do is not difficult for you at all." Li Man'e encouraged. "What do you want me to do?" "Help me keep an eye on someone." "Who is he?" "You know him, his name is Zhang Zui." "He's a great plague god!" Liu Shaoxiong became vigilant, "Who are you, why are you staring at him?" "I'm his enemy, and staring at him is to prevent him from continuing to do evil in Jiangnan City." "You are the old Communist?" Liu Shaoxiong rolled his eyes slyly, and pushed the paper bag back, "I can't do it alone, Zhang Zui knows me, it's a matter of losing his head." "I know you have the ability," Li Man'e pushed the paper bag over again, "This is a deposit, and the reward after the completion of the matter can save you from being a postal mouse for the rest of your life." "Okay, I can try." Liu Shaoxiong grinned, showing his yellow teeth. "I have another request. None of your apprentices can use it. Zhang Zui's memory is better than a camera. He can remember it once he meets him." Li Man'e ordered. "Don't worry, the person I want to use, Zhang Zui, has never met before—I have brought a new apprentice recently." Liu Shaoxiong said proudly. "Didn't you just say that you have already washed your hands in the golden basin?" "That's impossible, just like a bitch, if you don't follow the law, who has seen someone who is not listed?" Liu Shaoxiong put away the paper bag and said, "It may be difficult to stare at others, but I am absolutely sure of staring at Zhang Zui! " "What do you mean by that?" "I won't tell you yet." Liu Shaoxiong blinked slyly, "Do you have any specific requirements?" "Can you take pictures?" "I haven't tried it yet. However, I have an apprentice who can take pictures." Liu Shaoxiong said. "Very good. In fact, you can learn it too. It's quite simple." Li Man'e took out a camera from her bag. Press like that for the first time, and you can ignore the rest." "I didn't expect it to be so easy to take a picture. I remembered it." Liu Shaoxiong tried it himself, then put the camera aside and looked at Li Man'e, "What's next?" "Next, you should keep an eye on Zhang Zui and see who he is in contact with. The person you want to photograph is the person who is in contact with Zhang Zui. There is one more thing to pay special attention to. If you are a novice to take pictures, don't mess around with the camera. Everything inside will be scrapped.” "I know, if the contents inside are scrapped, we're just wasting our time in vain." "Yes, you are very smart." "If I wasn't smart, you wouldn't come to me." Liu Shaoxiong said proudly. "We will still meet here in the future, can you remember?" "This is called the Old Local Teahouse. I know it very well. I'm worried that you won't remember it." Liu Shaoxiong said, "This private room is called 'One Family'." "That would be great. If you're not at home, I'll ask your neighbors to tell you to meet me here as soon as you get the letter." "No, people in my neighborhood talk a lot. They like to fly short and talk long. If there is no wind, there will be three feet of waves. I want to let people all over the world know about a little thing." "These people are really annoying." Li Man'e sighed softly. "I have a safe solution. Do you know that there is a convenience store diagonally opposite the gate of your gendarmerie?" "Yes, the boss is an old man, surnamed Ye, we all call him Daddy Ye - haven't you been locked up together?" "Exactly. He and I are fellow sufferers. You just need to tell him that someone is a matchmaker for me, and he will tell me." "I'm so happy, it seems that you are the right choice!" Li Man'e took out her pocket watch and glanced, "That's it for today, you go first, we can't leave together." "I've gotten used to it a long time ago, so I don't need you to remind me." Liu Shaoxiong got up and smiled at Li Man'e, and pulled out a yellow cloth bag from his arms as if conjuring, and put the paper bag and camera in it. Once locked, he left without looking back... After Liu Shaoxiong left, Li Manye heard the owner of the teahouse swearing, and after a while Dr. Tea came in blushing. "Can I pay the bill, ma'am?" Dr. Cha said with a smile. "That's how it is. From now on, I will rent this 'family' private room for a long time." Li Man'e took out a few oceans and put them on the table. "I'm sorry, 'One Family' has already been rented out, and I was scolded by the boss for this. Or the neighbor next door is pretty good." Dr. Cha said awkwardly. Li Man'e thought for a while and said, "Then next door, what's your name?" "It's called 'Fellow Traveler', and I'll help you clean up right away." Dr. Cha said with relief. "Wait a minute, do you know that person just now? His surname is Liu." "I know—no, no, I just met." "When he comes over in the future, you will take him to 'Fellow Travelers'." Li Man'e handed over the money. "Thank you." Dr. Tea bowed and left. Li Man'e went to the next door to have a look and found that the sound insulation was good, then rented a rickshaw and left Shuyuan Street. Li Man'e got off the car not far from the gate of the Gendarmerie Corps and was about to walk back.Suddenly she felt someone following her. Based on her feeling, she guessed that the person following her was also a woman, could it be Chu Xiangxue? Li Man'e originally planned to go to the convenience store to buy a few packs of candy and melon seeds, and use an excuse to build a relationship with Ye Laodie, but now she dismissed this idea. When she entered the gate, the guard was still standing guard when she went out. She smiled and walked up to greet her affectionately: "Little brother, is it tiring to stand guard for such a long time?" "Report Ma'am, you are not tired." "Listen to the accent, are you a local?" "Yes, my family lives in Gaosha Town in the northern suburbs, and I am a fellow villager with Captain Chu." "Gaosha Town? We are authentic fellow villagers. What's our name? I'll say a few words for you in front of Lao Chu another day, so that you can make progress." "Really? That's great. Thank you madam. My name is Zhu Yongda." The guard was overjoyed. "I remember, Zhu Yongda, have you met Secretary Chu?" "You mean Ms. Xiangxue, right? Yes, she went out not long after you went out." Zhu Yongda said. Li Man'e's heart sank, realizing that she was really being followed.She stopped talking to Zhu Yongduo, went straight to the convenience store to buy something, and finally said to the boss: "Father Ye, I am a relative of Liu Shaoxiong, please tell him that an acquaintance of mine just passed away her husband, I want to say hello to them." "As a matchmaker for Liu Shaoxiong? Okay, I will tell him as soon as possible. Which relative of Liu Shaoxiong are you?" "He is my aunt's son." Li Man'e said and left with her things.
