Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Finding the Scapegoat

The most terrifying thing in this world is not tigers, wolves, snakes and scorpions, but people. Tigers, wolves, snakes and scorpions can be recognized at a glance and can be guarded against, but people are not. His heart may be more vicious than tigers, wolves, snakes and scorpions. A layer of human skin is used as a camouflage, which is hard to guard against... Su Zitong walked into the office slowly, and Liang Tianshu was sorting out documents in the office.Seeing that Su Zitong was preoccupied, he stopped what he was doing and asked in a concerned tone, "What do you need from me?"

"I..." Su Zitong hesitated to speak. Liang Tianshu quickly closed the door, poured Su Zitong a cup of tea, sat down first, and said, "Sit down and talk." "Adjutant Liang, I didn't listen to you at the beginning, but now I really got into trouble." "Company Commander Su, it doesn't matter. With our relationship, no matter what the big things are, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help you." "I know. I don't have any friends. You have always cared about me the most, including what happened last time at Drunken Spring Breeze. You were also doing it for my own good. Now I really have no friends who can help me. If you can help me , I will remember you forever."

"Don't talk about that, just tell me what trouble you're in." Su Zitong took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Liang Tianshu, which said: Company Commander Su, at 8:30 this morning, someone from the old local teahouse "fellow traveler" is looking for you. "What does this mean?" Liang Tianshu looked at Su Zitong in confusion. Su Zitong wiped away his tears, and told him exactly what happened to him when he came out of the "Drunken Spring Breeze" restaurant and was taken away by Zhang Zui until now. Liang Tianshu sighed a long time after listening, and said with infinite sympathy: "Commander Su, I never thought that we hadn't been together for a while, and you got into such a big trouble!"

"Adjutant Liang, I don't have the slightest idea anymore, what do you think I should do?" Su Zitong looked at Liang Tianshu expectantly. "You can't go to the appointment today no matter what, and there is no way to survive once you go." "Liu Qiye said that too, it seems that I can only do this." Su Zitong nodded. "Who is Liu Qiye?" Liang Tianshu frowned. "He...he is a friend of mine." Su Zitong knew he had slipped the tongue, but he couldn't take it back. "Has he seen the note?" "He's never seen him before. He's from the local area. He already guessed that Zhang Zui would ask me out a few days ago, and told me not to go to die."

"So that's what happened." Liang Tianshu was relieved and didn't ask any further questions. "He also said that if Zhang Zui refused to let me go, he would ask me to ask the teacher to save me. You are the person most trusted by the teacher, so you must do me this favor!" "I'll help you tell the teacher," Liang Tianshu thought for a while, "Who gave you the note?" "Early this morning when I got up from bed, I saw this note in the room, and it was stuffed in through the crack of the door." "So, there are Zhang Zui's spies by your side?"

"Yes, if I have something to see Zhang Zui, I just need to put a note on the door saying 'going out on business', and Zhang Zui will know soon." "Company Commander Su, it seems that the situation is more complicated than expected. Even if Master Li is willing to save you, it is useless. Because Zhang Zui will send someone to assassinate you every moment!" "I know, so I'm scared. Bai Qiming and a soldier died in the same way in the past." Su Zitong's tears that had just stopped began to flow out again. "Don't worry, let me help you find a way." Liang Tianshu thought for a while, and said, "The key now is to find the person who is watching you!"

"There are more than a hundred people in our company. I don't know who is Zhang Zui's spy." "It doesn't matter, I have a way to find him! Don't think about anything now, just like usual, don't bother with this note, Zhang Zui won't see you today, and that person will still stuff paper into your room tonight That's right." Liang Tianshu said. "Adjutant Liang, you still have a solution." Su Zitong said gratefully. "Do you still need me to help you tonight?" Liang Tianshu asked. "No need. It's inconvenient for you to come out at night as an adjutant. I'll arrange a few reliable guard posts tonight."

"This method is very good. If you find this person, don't disturb him. I will make arrangements." Liang Tianshu warned. Zhang Zui sat in the private room of "Fellow Travelers" and waited from 8:30 in the morning until the afternoon without seeing Su Zitong come to the appointment.At this time, everyone was so hungry that their stomachs were growling. Li Ruyou said, "Leader, come back after eating." "He won't come, let's go back." Zhang Zui stood up. "Could it be that he didn't receive the notice?" Ding Yizu guessed. "Impossible, the 'from home' is by his side, there is no reason why the notification cannot be delivered." Zhang Zui thought for a while, "There is only one possibility - he is alert and dare not come here."

"Then what should we do?" Ding Yizu asked anxiously. "Immediately notify 'the man from my hometown' after I go back and give him another notice. If he doesn't come at 8:30 tomorrow morning, his family will be attacked!" Zhang Zui said through gritted teeth. "Team leader, is it necessary to notify Guangxi?" Li Ruyou asked. "You can notify them to bring Su Zitong's family members under control as soon as possible." The three of them left their old place and went back to the Gendarmerie to finish their meal. Zhang Zui drafted a telegram and sent it to the Guangxi Station of the Secrecy Bureau, and at the same time sent Li Ruyou to meet with the "people from his hometown"...

In the evening, Li Ruyou came back from the meeting place and reported to Zhang Zui: "Su Zitong's behavior is a bit abnormal. The 'from his hometown' said that he is usually very timid, and as long as he is notified, he is afraid that he will not go quickly. This time, he is not only indifferent, but also There's no sign of fear either. I think he has nothing to fear." "Will he really join the Communist Party?" Zhang Zui asked. "It's not sure yet. The 'from my hometown' said that he will write a stricter notice tonight. If he doesn't move again, don't have illusions about him." Li Ruyou said.

"Okay, let's wait until tomorrow." Zhang Zui nodded. Before it was time to go to work, Liang Tianshu came to the office early to clean up. Just as he took the broom, Su Zitong came in. He handed Liang Tianshu a piece of paper. This time, the note wrote: Company Commander Su, why did you miss the appointment yesterday?That friend of yours is upset, and if he doesn't show up for his appointment at 8:30 this morning, that friend might stop caring for your family. Liang Tianshu returned the note to Su Zitong after reading it, and said, "He is threatening you. But they will really do it. Your family has to be careful." "I know." Su Zitong tore up the note. "Has the person monitoring you been found?" This is what Liang Tianshu is most concerned about. "I found it. It turned out to be Xiao Gao, the secretary of our company. I really can't imagine that a person who usually respects me so much is actually a spy!" Su Zitong shook his head and sighed. "No one in this world will submit to you unless he has a purpose. Even if the prime minister treats the emperor, his purpose is to keep his official position and let more people submit to him." "Lieutenant Liang, what should I do next?" "Ignore him, he will deliver a threatening letter tomorrow, and listen to my arrangements then." Liang Tianshu said. When Su Zitong returned to the guard company, the officers and soldiers of the whole company had already started training on the playground. According to the usual practice, he should go to each squad to inspect and check, but at the moment he was not in the slightest mood.When he came to the company headquarters, he didn't find Gao Wenshu.Where has this boy gone?Just as he was thinking, Gao Wenshu came back with two hot water bottles. "Hello, company commander. I'm off to the cooking class to turn on the water." Gao Wenshu said, pouring a glass of water for Su Zitong quickly: "The company commander drinks water." "No hurry." Su Zitong said in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart: the most terrifying thing in this world is not tigers, wolves, snakes and scorpions, but people. Tigers, wolves, snakes and scorpions can be recognized at a glance and can be guarded against. Otherwise, his heart may be more vicious than tigers, wolves, snakes and scorpions, but he is disguised with a layer of human skin, which is hard to guard against... "Company commander, do you have any orders?" Gao Wenshu asked. "Oh, no, you can go to rest." Although Su Zitong gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, he had a smile on his face. It seemed that people can change. If there are too many bad people, good people will also turn bad. Xiao Ma sits on the facade of "Jiang Kee Grocery Store" while soliciting business, while paying attention to the pedestrians on the left and right streets.In the backyard room, Luo Su was talking to Zhong Hualai who had just returned from the "Juyuan Ballroom". "I saw 'Jiangnan Skylark' today. He has been paying special attention every morning when he wakes up these days, but he still has no information about the primrose. Lao Luo, 'Jiangnan Skylark' doesn't know who the primrose is. If you tell him, he will will know the whereabouts of the primrose." "No, it's not that we don't trust Comrade Jiangnan Yunque. This is a system established by the organization. Comrade 'Skylark' should not be allowed to know him unless it is absolutely necessary." Luo Su said. "Isn't it considered a 'last resort' now? Comrade Yunque said that Zhang Zui arrested nine people in the Gendarmerie for the matter of Yunni Silk Village. Among these nine people, there must be Primrose! One more thing, directly under the company Because Shu Xianglin hindered Zhang Zui from solving the case, he and his six subordinates were secretly executed by Zhang Zui. I am worried that if Zhang Zui can't solve the case, maybe one day he will kill all the nine suspects including Primrose. Secret killing." Zhong Hualai said worriedly. "Zhang Zui is a brutal spy. I believe he will do this, but not yet. Let's endure it for a few more days. If there is still no news of Primula after a few days, we will tell Comrade Skylark who Primula is. , and then try to rescue." The two were talking in the inner room, and Xiao Ma, who was guarding the door, shouted inside: "Boss, a guest is here." This is the internal code of the underground party. When a guest comes, it means that one of them has returned. "Is Comrade Jiang Fangxiang back?" Zhong Hua asked. "It's not him, he only went out for a while when the store needed to buy goods." Luo Su said. "Who is that? Could it be that someone brought back news about the primrose?" Zhong Hualai was guessing that the "guest" had already walked in, and Luo Su hurriedly got up to greet him: "Comrade Liang Tianshu, I haven't seen you back for a long time. Sit, sit." "Comrade Tianshu is coming back so rarely, there must be important information." Zhong Hua said. "Look at you two looking sad, why are you worrying?" Liang Tianshu asked after sitting down. "Comrade Primrose has almost been disconnected from the organization since he informed us of the discovery of Yunni Silk Village. We have activated the second contact plan, but there is still no news." Luo Su said with a heavy heart. "Zhang Zui has arrested a lot of people in the past few days, all of them are from the Gendarmerie. I guess the Primrose will also be among them, so he will definitely not be able to contact the organization." Liang Tianshu said. "Comrade Tianshu wanted to go with us." Zhong Hua said. "I'm worried that after a long time, Zhang Zui will lose his patience and kill all the suspects, including the primrose," Luo Su said. "I'm also worried, so I came up with a way to divert Zhang Zui's attention. I came back today to report to the organization to see if it's feasible." "You said, in order to rescue the primrose, we are brainstorming." Luo Su looked at Liang Tianshu. "In addition to the nine people who were imprisoned, Zhang Zui now suspects another person. This person is the one who betrayed our Yunni Silk Village to him." "What's his name?" Luo Su and Zhong Hualai asked in unison. "Su Zitong, the guard company commander of the Independent Division. These two days Zhang Zui suspected that he had performed a 'catch and release Cao' scene, so he was anxious to see him, but I stopped him. Only in this way will Zhang Zui's troubles be aggravated." suspicion." "If all the doubts are concentrated on Su Zitong, it will indeed be very beneficial to the primrose." Luo Su nodded and said. "Being beneficial is not enough. Let Zhang Zui completely dispel his doubts about Primrose! Only in this way can he continue to work within the enemy and play his great role!" Liang Tianshu said seriously. "It can be seen that Comrade Tianshu already has a plan in his mind. If there is any clever plan, let everyone share it." Luo Su's tense heartstrings began to relax. "It's not a clever plan, but if there are no accidents, it shouldn't be a big problem to achieve the goal I said." Liang Tianshu shifted his gaze from Luo Su to Zhong Hualai. Zhang Zui sat in the repair room anxiously, then stood up and paced back and forth, then lifted the curtain and entered the inner room and asked Li Ruyou who was on the telegraph: "Is there a signal? They should have news for us." "There is no signal, so the traffic in that place is probably inconvenient, and it will be difficult to get things done right away." Li Ruyou took off the earphones on his head and said. "Put it on, don't miss the signal." Zhang Zui said anxiously. "It can't be leaked. I've been wearing it for a long time, so I just loosen it for a while." "Damn it, the people at Guangxi station are really procrastinating!" Zhang Zui was complaining, when there was a knock on the door outside. "It's Ding Yizu who came back, team leader, he must have brought good news." Li Ruyou said. Zhang Zui hurriedly exited the telegraph room, and it was indeed Ding Yizu who came back outside. "How is it, is Su Zitong here?" Zhang Zui asked eagerly. "No, I think he has a guilty conscience, of course he dare not come to die." Ding Yizu said. Zhang Zui clenched his fist, then slowly loosened it, and said: "Notify the 'from his hometown' and send him another notice, telling him that his family is under our control, and if he dares to disobey the order of the organization, he will be killed." door!" "What if the door to destroy him doesn't come?" Ding Yizu said worriedly. "It's impossible, I believe he doesn't have the guts! His weakness is that he is afraid that something will happen to his family." Zhang Zui said confidently. "Team leader, Guangxi has called back!" Li Ruyou shouted excitedly in the telegraph room. "Translate it!" Zhang Zui's heartstrings were tense at the moment, fearing that it was news he didn't want to hear. After a while, Li Ruyou came out with a translated message in his hand, and said dejectedly: "Team leader, I have already translated it..." As soon as Zhang Zui saw Li Ruyou's expression, his expression turned cold, he lost even the emotion of reading the telegram, and said weakly, "Read it." "Guangxi Station replied to Jiangnan City July Bee, the goods you want have been taken away many days ago, and their whereabouts are still unknown, and there is no way to find them." After Li Ruyou finished reading, he looked at Zhang Zui, "Group leader, this matter What should I do?" The room was silent.After a long time, Zhang Zui stood up with difficulty and said, "So he was prepared, Su Zitong, I will never let you go!" Su Zitong got up from the bed in a jiffy, and it was just dawn.Reflexively, he first glanced at the door, and sure enough, the ghost-like white paper had already been lying there. He wasn't in a hurry to watch, he was already numb, even the most timid sparrow could become unafraid of the wind and waves when he came to the Dongting Lake, after dealing with Zhang Zui for such a long time, his courage was also frightened . He put on his clothes, put on his armed belt, and went to the bathroom to do some personal hygiene, before returning to the door to pick up the note. "Your family has fallen into the hands of others, and your friends want to help you very much. The same time and place, if you miss the appointment again, don't blame your friends for dying." After Su Zitong finished reading, he put the note into his pocket.At this moment, Zhang Zui, who had always been vicious and strong in his mind, finally showed his weak side. He thought in his heart: So the devil also has times to bluff people by bluffing! At this time, the wake-up call was just sounded, and he went to the playground early, and soon, slogans were heard one after another from all over the barracks.Waking up in the morning and shouting slogans is very important to a person's health. By shouting loudly, you can expel the old and absorb the new, and activate the body.Shouting slogans takes the squad as a unit, the squad leader shouts one sentence, and the whole class shouts one sentence, the voice is very loud, resounding to suppress the sky.Which squad moves quickly, you will know as soon as you hear the slogan, so all the squads in the company are scrambling to be the first.The first group to call out the number will be praised by the company commander in the morning review. "Stand at attention!" "Look to the right!" "Look forward!" "Let's walk together!" "Turn left!" All heard, because it represents the quality and morale of the army. After shouting the slogan, the class is classified into a platoon, and then the platoon is used as a unit to run into the playground and line up.Accept the command and inspection of the platoon leader on duty. Although being a soldier is monotonous and boring, in fact, as long as you seriously experience it, you can still find fun.After Su Zitong commented on the whole company, his day's work was considered to be half done, and the platoon leader on duty would exercise his authority on behalf of him in various transactional tasks. After breakfast, Su Zitong said to Gao Wenshu at the dining table: "Don't go far after dinner, it's best to wait for me at the company department, I have something to ask you." Su Zitong left the cafeteria after leaving these words, and walked straight to the division headquarters. At the agreed place, Liang Tianshu was already waiting there.As soon as they met, Su Zitong didn't say much, and directly handed the note to Liang Tianshu. "They controlled your family?" Liang Tianshu asked in surprise. "No, my family moved out a few days ago." Su Zitong sneered. "That's good, we'll proceed as planned." Liang Tianshu said with a sigh of relief. Su Zitong and Liang Tianshu returned to the guard company after they met each other, and Gao Wenshu was still waiting for him.He looked at Su Zitong suspiciously, and asked, "Company commander, what do you want from me?" "It's like this. A friend asked me out a few times. I was too busy and kept procrastinating, so I have to go today, otherwise that friend will really be angry." Su Zitong said this in a relaxed tone as much as possible. "Company commander, do you want me to accompany you?" Gao Wenshu asked. "I don't need you to accompany me. I can go alone. That's how it is. Today, a fellow of mine asked me to have lunch at the 'Drunken Spring Breeze' restaurant. I can't go. You can go for me and show him something. Explanation." "Company Commander, why would I have the nerve to invite your friend to dinner..." Gao Wenshu pretended to be embarrassed. "If you really don't want to go for me, that's fine. I'll go by myself, and the other friend will make an appointment at another time." Su Zitong said with a retreat. "How about that, you have already missed the appointment several times. Company Commander, I think you might as well go to the appointment first, and then eat the fellow villagers' meal when you come back." Gao Wenshu suggested. "It's been a long time since my friend, what if he insists on keeping me for dinner?" "Then I'll go for you." Gao Wenshu said with evil intentions, "Don't worry about going to your friend's appointment." "My villager's surname is Sun. Go to Zui Chunfeng and tell Boss Fat that you are looking for Boss Sun. He will make arrangements for you. Xiao Gao, thank you!" Su Zitong said, patting Gao Wenshu on the shoulder.
