Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Two secret agents shake hands and talk happily

Chu Liyan felt that Zhang Zui's smile was a grin, and he shuddered.I don't know where Zhang Zui, the wolf, is going to attack him.He finally lost his composure and said, "Group Leader Zhang, please speak up if you have something to say." After Qiu Xuehai was taken away, only Chu Liyan and Li Man'e were left in the confinement room. "It's getting late, the beds inside are very simple, can we deal with it casually?" Chu Liyan looked at Li Man'e and said. "You go to bed first, I have to go home and take a look, what is that girl Xiangxue doing?" Li Man'e said.

"Then go and come back quickly, I'll be waiting for you." Chu Liyan wanted to sleep with Li Manye in his heart, but he couldn't resist the biological clock reaction, Li Manye fell asleep as soon as he went out, and when he woke up, it was already daylight.Li Man'e slept next to him, but it was unknown when she came back. Chu Liyan remembered his business, and when he woke up, he called Li Zizhong, the head of the Independent Division, and told him that Jiang Fangxiang had been confirmed to be an underground party.Li Zizhong was very polite and said that he would fully support his work.After putting down the phone, he went to find Shu Xianglin.

After Shu Xianglin led a group of people to drive away in a police jeep, Li Manye also got up, and Chu Liyan asked, "Is Xiangxue at home last night?" "Not at home." Li Man'e replied, combing her hair. "It's so late, where did she go?" Chu Liyan pondered, "Is she watching us?" "It's possible, but when Qiu Xuehai was put on trial, she should have left too, but she didn't go home afterwards. Where do you think she will go?" "Will you be with Zhang Zui and the others?" "You guessed it!" Li Man'e tied up her combed hair, "They stayed up all night in the house over the garage, sneaking around for no apparent reason."

"You have made a great contribution this time." Chu Liyan held Li Man'e in his arms, and kissed her affectionately. "I'm an old couple, I'm still doing this." Li Man'e avoided Chu Liyan's kiss. "My dear, thank you." Chu Liyan said affectionately. "It doesn't matter, you are still so polite, I am not used to you." Li Man'e said very unhappy. "I can't help it, honey, you've been so kind to me." "I'm not nice to you, should I still be nice to others?" Chu Liyan hugged Li Man'e even tighter, and said: "When this case is solved, I will also have the capital, so I will ask the organization to take you to Taiwan... You have been wronged all these years. Just feel at ease."

"I also hope that that day will come as soon as possible, so I will spare no effort to help you. If there is such a day, you will quit the military, and we will rent a few acres of land in a certain countryside in Taiwan, and then you will carry water and I will water the garden. Half your life will be happy." Happy days..." Li Man'e was immersed in beautiful longing. "This day will definitely come true. Please believe in my love for you. I don't even have a home. Can I not cherish it?" "Once a person has a wish, he will work hard to realize it, but not everyone can realize his wish. Li Yan, I suddenly have an ominous premonition," Li Man'e looked at Chu Liyan, "This time we are also facing I work hard with good intentions, but I don’t know whether the result is good or bad.”

"The result must be good. If I solve the case, I will be a hero. The organization will reward me. As for Zhang Zui, I don't have to worry about him. Is there anyone in the official career who didn't step on other people's shoulders to climb up? Don't worry, It will definitely work out!" The two talked countless love words, when the sound of the jeep sounded outside again, the sound was getting closer and closer.Li Man'e said, "Is Lianchang Shu back?" "Maybe." Chu Liyan glanced at his watch, "He should have come back a long time ago. We were so busy talking that we forgot the time."

Sure enough, the jeep turned off outside the door, and Shu Xianglin stood outside the door, shouted "Report", and came in.When Chu Liyan saw his appearance, his heart skipped a beat. "Head, we are back." Shu Xianglin didn't dare to look up. "Where are people?" Chu Liyan frowned. "Reporting to the head, we surrounded Jiang Fangxiang's room as quickly as possible, kicked open the door and entered, and found two dead bodies lying in the room." "Corpse?!" Chu Liyan and Li Manye looked at each other, "Is Jiang Fangxiang dead?"

"Jiang Fangxiang's life and death are unknown. The dead are Bai Qiming, the deputy company commander of the guard company, and one of his soldiers." Shu Xianglinhui reported. "What?!" Chu Liyan's body softened, and he sat down on the chair, his eyes were dull, "Got it, go down." "Liyan, will Jiang Fangxiang slip away? Do you know who Bai Qiming is?" Li Man'e asked with concern. "Bai Qiming is Zhang Zui's man." Chu Liyan replied weakly. "How do you know he belongs to Zhang Zui?" "In the Independent Division, some military commanders were dispatched by me, and Bai Qiming was among them. After Zhang Zui came, he was under his command." Chu Liyan's mood was like a sudden big wave on a calm lake, which surprised him so much.

"Liyan, this time I caused trouble for you. Zhang Zui died in Jiang Fangxiang's house. It is obvious that the Communist Party did it. Zhang Zui will definitely not let you go. He will make a big fuss about this matter and drag you down. Let go. Li Yan, it's my fault." Li Man'e burst into tears in anxiety. "Don't cry, everything is fate. Maybe God has arranged it long ago. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. It's not a disaster to escape." Chu Liyan comforted Li Man'e. "If I hadn't come up with this idea, such a thing wouldn't have happened. I really hurt you. Huh—" Li Man'e burst into Chu Liyan's arms and burst into tears.

Zhang Zui, Chu Xiangxue, Li Ruyou and Ding Yizu stayed in the repair room and waited for Bai Qiming to bring Jiang Fangxiang over, preparing for an overnight trial. Time passed by every minute and every second, and when it was almost dawn, Bai Qiming still didn't come over. Zhang Zui was very unhappy and said, "Don't wait, let's rest for a while." The four of them took a full night's sleep with their clothes on, and got up again after resting their spirits.After breakfast, there was still no sign of Bai Qiming, so Zhang Zui sent Li Ruyou to the independent division to inquire about news.

Li Ruyou came back soon, bringing back a fact that Zhang Zui couldn't accept no matter what - Bai Qiming and his assistant both died in Jiang Fangxiang's room... The four of them were relatively speechless. After a while, Li Ruyou couldn't help breaking the silence. "Captain, what should we do about this?" "What else can we do, settle accounts with Chu Liyan, the Communist Party ran away and killed our brother, let's see how he will explain to Shangfeng!" Ding Yizu said angrily. "I know I need to settle accounts with Chu Liyan, but what about the evidence? Can he admit it without evidence?" Li Ruyou said. "Evidence is really hard to find." Ding Yizu scratched his scalp and thought hard. "It's not very difficult to find evidence. If Shu Xianglin is arrested and tortured, I'm not afraid he won't do it." Chu Xiangxue shifted her gaze from Ding Yizuo to Li Ruyou, "But will this solve the fundamental problem? Our ultimate goal is To solve the case." "With Chu Liyan as a stumbling block, the case can never be expected to be solved. Only when he is removed can we let go of our hands and feet." Li Ruyou said. "I agree." Ding Yizu echoed. "Because of my relationship with Captain Chu, it's inconvenient for me to express my opinion. Leader, what do you think?" Chu Xiangxue looked at Zhang Zui. Zhang Zui, who had been silent all the time, was still not in a hurry to express his position under Chu Xiangxue's urging.Seeing that everyone watched him stop talking, he opened his mouth: "You have talked a lot, and I have been listening, but why no one has touched on the most central issue? Now things are complicated, we must put them temporarily. Putting it aside, we should concentrate all our energy on figuring out one question—why did the Communist Party rescue Jiang Fangxiang before us?" The ugly daughter-in-law always wanted to see her in-laws, so Chu Liyan finally decided to go back to the regiment headquarters to face Zhang Zui.He didn't know what kind of situation he was going to face, would Zhang Zui spare him lightly?For this reason, he prepared himself for the worst... Chu Liyan returned to the office of the regiment headquarters, and Li Manye stayed with him for fear that he would suffer.It is working hours, and all departments are working normally step by step.Chu Liyan knew that Zhang Zui would come to him, and he did come after a short while. Zhang Zui scanned the office and found that Li Man'e was there, so he said to Chu Liyan, "Chief Chu, can we talk alone?" Chu Liyan looked at Li Manye, then at Zhang Zui, and finally he approached Li Manye, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go back and rest, I'll be fine." Li Man'e reluctantly left the office of the regiment headquarters, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chu Liyan before going out. Zhang Zui closed the door and sat beside Chu Liyan, he could feel his heartbeat.If the other party is just an ordinary spy, he has enough majesty to scare the other party to death. "Old Chu, I would like to sincerely apologize to you for not getting into the subject." Zhang Zui stood up solemnly as he spoke, and bowed to Chu Liyan. Chu Liyan was terrified, not knowing what trick Zhang Zui was going to play.A thought flashed through his mind: crocodiles shed tears when they eat people.He expected Zhang Zui's apology to be the crocodile crying before eating people.He whispered: "Team leader, you..." "I'm fine, I'm very calm," Zhang Zui smiled at Chu Liyan, "Through this incident, I became sober. However, it's too late to wake up now, because I'm too slow." Chu Liyan felt that Zhang Zui's smile was a grin, and he shuddered.I don't know where Zhang Zui, the wolf, is going to attack him.He finally lost his composure and said, "Group Leader Zhang, please speak up if you have something to say." "Perhaps my current attitude will make you feel that I have other plans. This is my fault, which means that I have not communicated too much with you in the past." Zhang Zui sighed, "My failure this time is because of this point." Chu Liyan stared blankly at Zhang Zui, because he felt that he didn't intend to "speak", so he decided to take the initiative to test the other party: "Team leader, this accident was caused by me alone, I am willing to accept any Severe disciplinary sanctions." "Commander Chu, you are serious. This accident was caused by both of us. If you want to be held accountable, the first person to be sanctioned is me. If I didn't deliberately block the news from you, you wouldn't be so curious. Everyone has a sense of curiosity, let alone in this special situation." Chu Liyan finally heard the clue, and felt that Zhang Zui didn't seem to be acting at this time, but out of sincerity.Thinking about it carefully, he was deeply infected by Zhang Zui's professional personality, and at the same time, he also found that this is Zhang Zui's brilliance... "Team Leader Zhang, stop talking, I understand what you mean." Chu Liyan clearly felt that his eyes were already damp. "Commander Chu, thank you for understanding my intentions so quickly. There is a saying that you can't do without your brothers when you fight a tiger. I understand now that without your support, I, Zhang Zui, would be able to capture the moon in the sky and catch turtles in the sea." Even my ability can't solve the case." Zhang Zui moved his body to Chu Liyan, held Chu Liyan's hands and said: "We have seen how powerful the underground party in Jiangnan City is! If we don't unite as one, we will not only fail to complete the task, but may even die It's hard to guarantee!" "I know..." Chu Liyan nodded, his throat seemed to be blocked by something. "So," Zhang Zui clenched Chu Liyan's hands, "From now on, we are a whole, let us work together to deal with the Communist Party!" "Okay, with your team leader Zhang's words, I will definitely do my best." Chu Liyan expressed his determination, "Please tell me, what do you need me to do?" "The most urgent thing at the moment is to calm down and recall every detail before the accident—to be more specific, before the accident, how many people knew that Jiang Fangxiang was the Communist Party." Zhang Zui paused, "On my side, except me, And Li Ruyou and Ding Yizu knew about it, but the three of us have always been together, and no one has ever left." "I know more people here. When Qiu Xuehai said the name Jiang Fangxiang, besides Man'e and me, Shu Xianglin and six of his subordinates were present." "Invite Shu Xianglin here immediately." Zhang Zui said. Chu Liyan grabbed the phone on his desk and informed Shu Xianglin to come to the regiment office immediately.Not long after, Shu Xianglin hurried over, and when he saw Zhang Zui and Chu Liyan sitting in the office, he felt extremely uncomfortable. "Shu Lianchang, please sit down." Zhang Zui stood up and approached Shu Xianglin, gently stroking his shoulder, "Don't be nervous, we will not pursue the past, from now on we will work together to deal with the Communist Party." Seeing that Zhang Zui didn't have any malicious intentions, Shu Xianglin felt relieved, and looked at Chu Liyan: "What do you want me to come here?" "Listen to Team Leader Zhang's arrangement." Chu Liyan nodded at him with a calm face. "Where did you and your six subordinates go after leaving the confinement room last night?" Zhang Zui asked softly. "After leaving the confinement room, we escorted Qiu Xuehai to the company headquarters and handed it over to the guards, and then we all went back to the room to rest." "Has anyone ever left the direct subordinate company?" Zhang Zui's voice was a little louder. "No, because the sentry at the gate has no registration in this regard." "Then has anyone climbed the wall to get out?" Zhang Zui's voice returned to normal. "I don't know about that. Our fence is less than five feet high and can be climbed." Shu Xianglin paused, "Team Leader Zhang, you ask this..." "It's nothing, go back and transfer the files of your six subordinates to the regiment headquarters." Zhang Zui smiled pretendingly relaxed, "Go back, it's none of your business." After Shu Xianglin left, Zhang and Chu fell silent again. Chu Liyan got up and poured a cup of tea, saying, "Team leader, please use tea." Zhang Zui took the tea, but was not in a hurry to drink it. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Apart from them, who else has left the interrogation room?" "And..." Chu Liyan suddenly remembered, "Man'e left." "How long have you been away?" "I don't know, I fell asleep as soon as she left." Chu Liyan said truthfully. "Where did she go?" Zhang Zui asked. "Go...to monitor you..." Chu Liyan said shyly, his face blushing. "Oh, that's it..." Zhang Zui fell into deep thought again.After a long time, I raised my head to look at Chu Liyan again, "I heard about the romance between you and Li Man'e from Xiangxue, it was very touching. Sigh, in this world, it is difficult for lovers to get married." "But she and I are still on good terms. Although she has no status, my body and mind belong to her. The only fly in the ointment is that I always feel that I owe her too much." "There is no perfect thing in this world. Maybe it is because of its incompleteness that it looks beautiful. For example, Venus will not have such great artistic charm if it is unarmed. Or Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, if there is a perfect The ending cannot be passed down through the ages.” "Team leader, after what you said, I really take it seriously. Maybe it's because of so many unsatisfactory things that Man'e and I can love each other so much." Chu Liyan said emotionally. "Of course, what can be made up for is to make up for it as much as possible. I personally think that because Li Man'e loves you, she worries about everything for you. As a result, her life as a woman is not easy. There are some things that a housewife can't worry about. Chu Commander, what do you think?" Chu Liyan finally understood that Zhang Zui made such a big circle because he didn't want Li Man'e to get involved in the case.Although Chu Liyan felt a little uncomfortable, he felt that what Zhang Zui said was indeed reasonable. Li Man'e waited restlessly at home after leaving the office. Although the time was not long, she felt it was as long as a year.When Chu Liyan finally came back, Li Man'e immediately went up to greet him and asked, "You didn't lose your job, did you?" "What if I lose my job?" Chu Liyan asked. "Go back to the countryside to farm. I was born in poverty." Li Man'e disagreed. "I also want to go home and farm, but I can't stand the tigress at home. How can you bear her?" "Liyan, don't mention her, okay? When I mention her, I get goosebumps all over my body. Tell me, are you really going to lose your job?" "Fortunately, this time Zhang Zui deliberately let me go. If you want to get involved next time, it won't be a matter of losing your job. Maybe your head will move." "Zhang Zui told you to say this, right? I knew he would do this, so just ignore it. I wish I could be quiet." Li Man'e said angrily. After Chu Liyan went back, the files of the six soldiers were delivered. Zhang Zui looked carefully and found that these people were all related to Shu Xianglin. Shu Xianglin stood aside in trepidation, Zhang Zui pushed the file after reading it, raised his head and asked, "Which of these people would have a common cause?" "Report to Team Leader Zhang, they are all the best performers in normal times, and they are absolutely loyal to the party and state." Shu Xianglin reported. "I did an investigation, and Jiang Fangxiang's performance is also very good, and he is also infinitely loyal to the party and country-but such a person is actually the Communist Party! You bring them all, and if one is missing, you are asking!" It didn't take long for Shu Xianglin to call the six subordinates who participated in the interrogation of Qiu Xuehai, and then Li Ruyou walked in and whispered to Zhang Zui: "These are the guys who pulled rickshaws in the old local teahouse that day." Zhang Zui nodded to show his understanding. He glanced around, and then asked sharply, "Who among you tipped off the Communist Party last night?" None of the six spoke, their legs were shaking. "Why don't you talk? Are you unwilling to recruit? Li Ruyou, take them all to the torture room!" "Wrong, wrong..." The six people shouted. Li Ruyou commanded a group of gendarmes to take the six soldiers to the torture room, and they complained endlessly along the way. "How about it, let's go and have a look?" Zhang Zui reminded, seeing that Shu Xianglin was still standing still. When Zhang Zui and Shu Xianglin rushed to the torture room, the six soldiers had already been hung up, shouting for grievances one after another.When they saw Shu Xianglin, they begged him for help. Shu Xianglin knew that he could not save them at all.Seeing that there was no hope for those people, one of them cursed: "The surname Shu, we were all brought out by you, and there is no one who is not related. If something happens to us, even if you don't go home for the rest of your life, it depends on how your parents are here. Stay at home!" Shu Xianglin finally broke down. He mustered up his courage and said, "Team Leader Zhang, I can assure you that they are all loyal fighters of the party and state, not the Communist Party!" "What guarantee do you have?" Zhang Zui asked gloomily. "Take my personality, no, no, take my life!" "How much is your personality and life worth? Can it be compared with the country of the party-state?" Zhang Zui's tone was even darker. "These people will not be recruited without torture. Li Ruyou, give the whip to Lieutenant Shu." "Commander Shu, it's up to you now." Li Ruyou forced the whip into Shu Xianglin's hand. Shu Xianglin was holding a leather whip with a metal ring, knowing that if the whip went down, his skin would be ripped apart. He really couldn't do it, so he knelt down in front of Zhang Zui with a plop: "Team Leader Zhang, they are all innocent people, and I am the only one responsible. If you want to hit me, hit me!" "I didn't expect you to be human. Well, I will help you." Zhang Zui's face sank, and he ordered: "Come on, strip Lianchang Shu's clothes and hang him up for torture!"
