Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

The basement was full of all kinds of candies, and You Zhuzhu was devouring it. He was frightened by a cough, and a candy got stuck in his throat. "Old oil, what are you doing?" Father Ye said as he walked. "No, no...what..." You Zhuzhu said in a murmur, taking a lot of effort to swallow the sugar in his throat. "It doesn't matter if you want candy, but you have to admit how much you eat. Anyway, your master will give me money if you say so." "Why didn't you say it earlier? I was almost scared to death by you." What Li Ruyou was most worried about happened.The old man suddenly shouted "Catch the thief", and immediately the neighbors responded in unison.Li Ruyou retreated into the room in fright, and Ding Yizuo was also frightened at this time.

"Where is the thief? Where is the thief?" Someone in the backyard asked the old man. "In Liu Shaoxiong's house, I heard someone talking in the house." The old man said. "But the back door is locked. It's impossible for thieves to fly in without the lock," another neighbor said. "Did you hear wrong, old man?" A woman's voice. "My ears are very good, and I can never hear wrong." The old man insisted. "Why don't you pick the lock and go in and have a look," one person suggested. Li Ruyou and Ding Yizu didn't even think about it, they got under the bed in fright...

"There may be a ghost, it may be Liu Shaoxiong's dead parents, who knew that their son was going to get married, so they were talking happily in the room." "If this is the case, my old man can hear ghosts talking, then he probably won't live long. But my family hasn't bought a coffin yet." Wang Nai said sadly. "Where did the ghost come from? It must be a human. If you don't believe me, go in and have a look. Maybe the bed is still hot. Ghosts don't get hot." The old man firmly believed in his hearing. Sure enough, someone was picking the lock on the back door.Li Ruyou hurriedly got out and carried the warm quilt under the bed and hid it.

Two people plus a quilt suddenly seemed crowded under the bed, and more importantly, it was not safe here.Li Ruyou touched it and found that the wooden board under the bed was loose, which meant that there was a hole underneath.Quickly remove a piece of wood and take a photo with the flashlight that I carry with me - there is indeed a cellar below... The two uncovered the plank, turned over and entered the cellar, and covered the plank as it was. At this time, the neighbor just opened the back door and entered the room, and the room was full of chaotic footsteps... The neighbors tossed for a while and finally left.The front door was bolted and the back door was padlocked. They knew that no one was in the house, but they just wanted to come in to satisfy their curiosity.

The room returned to tranquility, and Li Ruyou discovered that the cave was not only damp, but also had an unpleasant musty smell.Ding Yizu couldn't take it anymore, he pushed the wooden boards and climbed out first.Li Ruyou handed over the quilt and was about to come up, when his foot stepped on something hard.He picked it up with his hand and felt it was heavy. He took out a flashlight and took a picture. It turned out to be a package of oceans, with the words "Gendarmerie Corps" printed on the sealing paper... Li Ruyou got out from under the bed, before he had time to dust off his body.At this moment, Ding Yizuo came over and whispered into his ear, "We can't go out, so we can wait until it gets dark. I've checked. There's nothing to eat, and there's still raw rice in the rice bucket."

"Then eat raw rice." Li Ruyou also said in Ding Yizu's ear. Just before dawn, Ye Laopa was still sleeping on the bed, when someone knocked on the door outside. "Father, open the door quickly, I'm shopping." "Who is it? No one came to buy things so early." Although Ye Lao was reluctant in his heart, he still opened the door, "It's you, Laoyou. Why did you come here so early?" "Master asked me to come here earlier, he asked me to follow your old man first." You Zhuzhu nodded and bowed. "Go into the back room quickly, this is not a place to talk." Ye Lao looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this side, so he closed the door and led the oil into the basement.

The basement is actually the warehouse of the convenience store, and the surrounding walls are covered with plastic, which is not damp.You Zhuzhu looked around and said, "Father, why did you bring me here? Is there anything that needs to be kept secret?" "Didn't your master tell you anything?" Father Ye looked at You Zhuzhu strangely. "He didn't say anything, and he didn't allow me to ask." "In this case, I can't tell you anything." "Why don't you tell me what to do? You didn't ask me to play, did you?" "Of course I have to let you know what to do." Father Ye took out something from a basket and handed it over, "Take it."

"This camera belongs to my master, I've seen it before. How could it be in your hand?" You Zhuzhu played with the camera like he couldn't put it down. "Don't ask, just be careful and I will tell your master." "Well, I don't ask. I want to know what I'm asked for. That's not a question, is it?" "I'll tell you this without asking. From now on, you can stay here with peace of mind. When I call you, you can come out, and then I will tell you what to do." "I think you guys are playing me like a monkey." You Zhuzhu said dissatisfied.

"If the apprentice can't bear even this little grievance, then there's no need to learn." Old Man Ye said. "Hey, if Master refuses to take me with you, it's because you speak ill of me, and I'll settle the score with you!" You Zhuzhu shouted at Ye Laopa's back, "Also, when will you call me? ?” "It's hard to say, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe it will take ten days and a half a month." Old Ye left without looking back. Zhang Zui waited in the repair room all night and did not see Li Ruyou or Ding Yizu come back. It is estimated that at least one of them will come back to report after dawn-but there has been no news.

One day passed like this.A few minutes before 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Zui didn't wait any longer, and was going to go to the old local teahouse - he had already made an appointment with Qiu Xuehai.Just after changing into casual clothes, the phone rang, and he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it might be Li Ruyou who called back.He picked up the phone. "Team Leader Zhang, I'm Qiu Xuehai, and I'm ready to go." "Bastard!" Zhang Zui hung up the phone angrily, and at this moment, there was a light knock on the door, and he shouted angrily, "Come in!"

"Team leader, I'm back." It was Li Ruyou who came in, which made Zhang Zui a little overjoyed. "You still know that when you come back, I thought I was going to declare you a martyr. Sit down. Where's Ding Yizu?" "I let him stay at Liu Shaoxiong's house." Li Ruyou sat down opposite Zhang Zui. "Did Liu Shaoxiong not return all day and night? This is very abnormal! Did you gain anything?" Zhang Zui asked. "Yes. Li Man'e went to the inkstone pond for nothing else, but to find Liu Shaoxiong!" Li Ruyou took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Zui, "This was found in the cellar of Liu Shaoxiong's house." Zhang Zui took the kraft paper bag under the electric light for a closer look, and pondered, "This is money from Chu Liyan's family, why did Li Man'e give Liu Shaoxiong so much money..." "There is only one possibility—what does Li Man'e want Liu Shaoxiong to do!" Li Ruyou interjected. "Of course I want him to do something, but what exactly?" Zhang Zui looked at Li Ruyou without blinking. "I don't know yet." Li Ruyou avoided Zhang Zui's gaze. "Not knowing is the greatest danger. We must find Liu Shaoxiong and solve this mystery!" "We have been waiting for a day and a night, and it is estimated that he may come back tonight." "What if he doesn't come back?" Zhang Zui frowned. "Then we can only wait forever. It's really uncomfortable to stay there. Today we all chew raw rice to satisfy our hunger. This is not the most uncomfortable thing. The most uncomfortable thing is that we can't make any noise when eating. Those neighbors Better than a thief." Li Ruyou was miserable, "Is there anything at home?" "Yesterday, not long after Li Man'e came back, she took advantage of Xiangxue's inattention and went out again, and she came back very late." Zhang Zui said. "She just came back and went out, why?" "I'm also puzzled. After listening to your report, I realized that she might have sensed that someone was staring at her when she came home for the first time and felt unsafe, so she turned around and informed Liu Shaoxiong." Zhang Zui analyzed Say. "Notify Liu Shaoxiong not to go home?" "Yes." Zhang Zui nodded. "Then we waited in vain..." Li Ruyou said discouragedly. "We won't wait in vain, we still have this." Zhang Zui raised the paper bag in his hand, "Liu Shaoxiong loves money like his life, it is impossible for him not to care about this thing." "Then we just have to wait patiently." Li Ruyou said with a sigh. Zhang Zui looked at his watch and said, "You'd better go back to Yan Pond, I have to go too." The basement was full of all kinds of candies, and You Zhuzhu was devouring it. He was frightened by a cough, and a candy got stuck in his throat. "Old oil, what are you doing?" Father Ye said as he walked. "No, no...what..." You Zhuzhu said in a murmur, taking a lot of effort to swallow the sugar in his throat. "It doesn't matter if you want candy, but you have to admit how much you eat. Anyway, your master will give me money if you say so." "Why didn't you say it earlier? I was almost scared to death by you." "Actually, you should know that I can't lock a mouse in a barn without paying. I won't tell you that. Come out." "Do you have something to do?" You Zhuzhu took out his camera and followed Ye Laopa out of the basement. "Look carefully, and pay attention to the gate of the Gendarmerie." Father Ye reminded, "What did you see?" "I saw two guards, one on each side. Oh, now another young man came out. Why isn't he wearing a military uniform? Isn't he from the Gendarmerie?" You Zhuzhu said. "Don't ask if you don't know. This is this man, his name is Zhang Zui. You keep an eye on him, see where he goes, who he contacts, and then try to use a camera to capture the scene of their meeting—this is you. things to do." "I see. It turns out that my master went to a detective agency. No wonder the money came so quickly." "What are you talking about, keep an eye on it, don't lose it." Father Ye urged. Qiu Xuehai came to the old local tea house on time at 8:30, and a tea doctor approached him politely and asked, "Sir, how many are there?" "You two. I'm Boss Qi's friend." Qiu Xuehai replied. "Sir, please come with me." Dr. Cha led Qiu Xuehai into a private room, "This is 'family', Boss Qi hasn't arrived yet, please wait a moment." Qiu Xuehai waited until 9 o'clock, only to see that Zhang Zui was late. He didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction, and bowed politely, but saw Zhang Zui's face was full of displeasure.Qiu Xuehai didn't know where he was wrong. "Old Qiu, why did you think of calling me tonight?" Zhang Zui sat down and said. "I'm afraid you will forget." Qiu Xuehai said in a daze. "I can even forget my own affairs, so how can I come out to do things. Do you know that a phone call is equal to one more chance of being exposed. You are an old comrade, this is the most basic common sense." "Yes, I won't call you anymore." "No, I still need to call if there is an emergency." Zhang Zui picked up the cup and blew, and took a sip of tea, "How is the situation over there?" "It's still the same as usual." "Do you have contact with your own people?" "I don't know who is my friend." Qiu Xuehai replied. "Very good," Zhang Zui's serious face finally relaxed, "It's best not to know too much in our line of work, and if there is an accident with the one-line contact, it won't hurt too many people. I called you here today because I have a special mission—— " Qiu Xuehai was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe out.Looking at Zhang Zui, he said after a while, "Team leader, I will strictly keep the secret and promise to complete the task!" "I know, the organization trusts you." Zhang Zui nodded, and said solemnly, "Jiang Fangxiang of your division is the Communist Party, and your task is to keep an eye on him!" "Staff Jiang is the Communist Party?" Qiu Xuehai was taken aback, "It doesn't look like that?" "The Communist Party is the best at concealing itself. The more unlikely a person is, the more likely he is the Communist Party. Keep an eye on him and see who he contacts. If we have information, we will still meet here." Zhang Zui said. You Zhuzhu is indeed a very talented stalker. He followed Zhang Zui from the gate of the Military Police Corps to the old local teahouse, but he was not discovered by Zhang Zui, a veteran spy. He watched Zhang Zui enter the "family" private room.So he asked for a private room opposite "One Family", opened the door a crack, and watched the situation on the opposite side closely. Less than ten minutes after Zhang Zui went in, the door of "Family" opened, and a person came out—it was a man, but not Zhang Zui. You Zhuzhu originally estimated that Zhang Zui had an affair with someone's wife, and that person was unwilling to wear a cuckold and bribed Liu Shaoxiong to help him track down and collect evidence.It now appears that his estimate was wrong, which surprised him greatly.He thought about it again, the other party paid such a large sum of money, maybe the hidden secrets in it are more valuable than cheating! It's night and the camera is useless.what to do?You Zhuzhu had an idea and suddenly had an idea. The man walked out of the teahouse without looking back, and got into a rickshaw at the door.You Zhuzhu followed closely, got into another rickshaw, and told the driver to keep up with the car in front. Sitting in the rickshaw, Qiu Xuehai drove around half of Jiangnan City, and finally stopped at the gate of the Independent Division.He paid the fare, walked straight into the gate, and walked in swaggeringly. Fu Zhi got out of the car and walked towards the gate.The guard at the door blocked it with a gun and shouted, "Go away. Didn't you see that this is an important military site?" "Master Bing, it's like this. The gentleman who went in just now is a very good man." You Zhuzhu raised the camera in his hand. I'm in trouble. I want to know where he lives and what his name is. I'll thank him so much later. But he got into the car and left in a blink of an eye, so I had to follow. Lord Bing, please let me in, please?" "This is an important military area, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at night." The guards were not accommodating. "Then can you tell me what his name is?" You Zhuzhu looked anxious, "It is not a gentleman to know kindness and not repay it. I will be cursed forever, and I don't want to keep my name." "Why don't you come and look for him tomorrow," the guard finally relaxed, "His name is Qiu Xuehai, and he is the staff officer of our division." The purpose of oil injection was achieved, and he left the independent division contentedly.He first detoured to a restaurant for dinner, then returned to the convenience store.As soon as he entered the house, he asked Father Ye to close the shop door, dragged him to the basement and asked, "Father, tell me the truth, who the hell is this Zhang Zui?" "Didn't it be agreed not to ask questions?" Father Ye refused to speak. "Well, if you don't tell me, then I won't do it!" You Zhuzhu returned the camera to Papa Ye. "You, what's wrong with you?" Father Ye looked at You Zhuzhu in surprise. "I'm fine, I just don't want to be a fool!" You Zhuzhu said angrily. "Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret—this Zhang Zui is a spy of the military command." Father Ye finally spoke. "Then who asked Liu Shaoxiong to follow Zhang Zui?" "Let's not talk about this?" "Father Ye, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you, but I want to remind you, don't be sold by others, you still count the money." "Things can't be this bad, can they?" "On this matter, someone gave Liu Shaoxiong an advance payment of thirty-six yuan, do you know?" "Did Li Man'e really give him so much money? Why didn't he tell me?" Father Ye was very surprised. "You don't want to say it or say it - who is Li Man'e?" You Zhuzhu sneered, "If you don't tell me, I can guess that Zhang Zui is a spy of the military command, and he is willing to pay such a high price to watch him. Who else but the Communist Party!" "You know everything, what else can I say?" Papa Ye grumbled. "You've finally admitted it." You Zhuzhu patted Papa Ye on the shoulder. "Then, what are you going to do, do it or not?" Old Man Ye asked. "Hearing your old man's tone, it seems that we are standing on opposite sides. Don't forget, we are both being used by others." "Whether it is used by others is not very important to me, the key is that this matter must be done!" "From what you said, it doesn't seem to be for money?" "I don't think Liu Shaoxiong will tell you, so I'll tell you." Father Ye then told the story of his innocent imprisonment, and finally gritted his teeth, "I'm old enough to suffer this crime, It’s hard not to avenge this revenge! It’s wrong for Liu Shaoxiong to swallow the money alone. I will help you seek justice. But I want to advise you, since you have already participated in this matter, you must finish it .” After Ye's father said this, You Zhuzhu finally understood everything, and at the same time had his own ideas. "Do you know Li Man'e?" You Zhuzhu asked, this was his main concern. "I know." Father Ye nodded, "If Liu Shaoxiong wants to see her, I must be the one to lead the way." "That's enough." You Zhuzhu showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Don't worry, old man, no matter what the outcome of the matter between me and Liu Shaoxiong, I will take care of it to the end, and I can also ask you Guaranteed—your revenge will be avenged!" "With your words, I feel relieved." Father Ye finally heaved a sigh of relief. "I have important information to see Li Man'e, please inform me." "You didn't tell Liu Shaoxiong?" "No, this information is too important to let Li Man'e know alone." You Zhuzhu insisted. Father Ye thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid it won't work, right? Liu Shaoxiong and her are cousins." You Zhuzhu sneered and said, "I know how many roundworms he has in his stomach named Liu, but I have never heard of a cousin named Li!"
