Chapter 385 I want to see the woodcutter

"Ring, ring, ring!" The phone on the table rang.

"Xinyu, come home for dinner after get off work." Hattori Mina's voice was on the phone.

Jiang Xinyu said with some embarrassment: "But, Lei Ban just made an appointment with me..."

"Put it down, today...my brother has something important to discuss with you." Hattori Mina whispered.

"...Okay then, I'll go there after work."

"Well, see you later."

"see you later."

Ten minutes later, the phone rang again, "Ring, ring, ring!"

Jiang Xinyu picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

Li Xiance: "Captain Jiang, it's me, Li Song."

"Oh, it's Editor Li, is there something wrong?"

"I have something to ask Captain Jiang for help with."

"You're welcome, Editor Li. We are all friends and we should take care of each other. Tell me, what is it?"

"That's it. A cousin of mine came to me and wanted to find a job here. When I thought about it, Captain Jiang has a lot of connections and knows a lot of people, so..."

"How old is your cousin?"

"Eighteen years old."

"Eighteen...what does he know? Have you read any books?"

"What, oops, I don't know for sure. Otherwise, he is here with me now. If it is convenient, can you ask Captain Jiang to come and ask him face to face?"

After saying this, Li Xiance added another sentence: "When the matter is completed, I will be very grateful!"

Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "It's easy to say thank you or not... I'm not busy right now, so I'll be there right away!"

After putting down the phone and briefly tidying up, Jiang Xinyu left the detective team and drove to Li Xiance's residence.

In the military police listening room, Sakai took off his headphones, turned around and asked, "Who is Li Song?"

"He is the proofreading editor of Yanjin Daily." the military policeman in charge of monitoring replied.

"Are there many phone calls between them?" Sakai flipped through Jiang Xinyu's monitoring records.

"Not much, I make a phone call occasionally."

"Hmph, these are all shameful things! Keep monitoring!"

"yes!"

Jiro Sakai walked out. He didn't take it too seriously. The content of the phone call sounded ordinary and nothing special.

Newspaper Apartment, Li Xiance’s residence.

Jiang Xinyu looked at the young man standing aside and said, "What's your name?"

The young man said politely: "Li Aiguo."

"Have you read any books?"

"Educated in private school for two years."

"If you want to find a job in Yanjin, you must change your name."

"Uncle just said that the name won't work... If you want to change your name, you have to go to the police station and you need someone to vouch for it."

Li Xiance interjected: "If anyone asks you your name from now on, just say your name is Li Guo. You go to the tea shop across the street to buy a bag of tea, and by the way, buy a pack of cigarettes, and ask for the San Paotai brand."

"Uncle, what is good tea?"

"Silly boy, the most expensive thing is good tea. Go quickly!"

"I know." Li Aiguo turned around and walked out.

Jiang Xinyu asked: "Is he really your cousin?"

Li Xiance said helplessly: "I don't know where my cousin heard that I was doing well in Yanjin, so he asked Aiguo to come to me with a letter, saying that the family was in trouble and asked me to help him find a job.

Errand, don’t you think this is causing trouble?”

"He doesn't know your true identity, does he?"

"I don't know. My family all thought I was doing business outside."

"That's good."

"There's bad news."

"What?"

"The electronic version has fallen into the hands of the Communist Party!"

"Really? Is the news reliable?"

“Absolutely reliable!”

"If it falls into their hands, it should be destroyed, right?"

"The problem now is, I'm afraid they didn't destroy it!"

"What should we do?"

"I want to meet the leader of the Communist Party in Yanjin - the woodcutter!"

"Do you know who the woodcutter is?"

Li Xiance nodded and said, "I just found out."

"who is it?"

"Pei Shaodong from Bank of Manchuria lives in Zizhu Apartment!"

Jiang Xinyu was secretly surprised, how could Li Xiance know who the woodcutter was?

"...The question is, what did you do when you saw him? We and the Communist Party are on the same page, there is no need to expose our identity in front of them!"

"When the time comes, I will put on makeup so that my true identity will not be revealed. When I go to see the woodcutter this time, the main thing is to ask him to hand over the electronic version, or destroy it in person!"

"What if he doesn't agree?"

"If he doesn't agree, you need to come forward and forcibly search his residence on the grounds of routine inspection. I guess such an important thing should be hidden at home!"

"What should we do if we find out?"

"Destroy the electronic version immediately, and then..." Li Xiance made a slashing gesture.

Jiang Xinyu understood that there must be a traitor in the military command around the woodcutter, otherwise, Li Xiance would not have known such detailed information.

However, the traitor should not have participated in the operation of transporting the electrotype, otherwise Li Xiance would not have had to meet the woodcutter!

Jiang Xinyu pondered and said: "Killing the person in charge of the Communist Party in Yanjin, if they find out, they will definitely make trouble in Chongqing, will they create trouble?"

"Originally, the woodcutter didn't have to die. After all, we are all part of the anti-Japanese resistance. It's just that your identity must be kept secret, so I have no choice but to feel sorry for him!"

"Does headquarters know about this?"

"The headquarters called back last night and asked us to adapt accordingly!"

Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "What if it is not in the hands of the woodcutter?"

Li Xiance shook his head and said: "Nothing goes wrong, it must be in his hands!"

"When are you going to see him?"

"Tomorrow night at six o'clock!"

There were footsteps outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door.

Li Xiance opened the door, and Li Aiguo walked in panting with sweat on his forehead, a can of tea and a pack of cigarettes in his hand.

"Why did you come back?" Li Xiance said with a frown.

Li Aiguo: "Uncle, the tea shop is across the street. I jogged all the way back..."

"Okay, okay, stop explaining, make tea for the guests."

Jiang Xinyu stood up and said: "Mr. Li, I still have something to do, so I won't drink tea. Let's wait for another day."

Li Xiance: "Captain Jiang came to the humble house as a guest and didn't even drink a glass of water. I'm... so rude!"

"It doesn't matter, the days are long, I'm going back."

"I'll leave it to Li Guo."

"Don't worry, I will notify you immediately as soon as there is news."

Li Aiguo was also obedient. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Captain Jiang."

Jiang Xinyu smiled and patted his shoulder and walked out.

A few minutes later, Li Xiance sent Jiang Xinyu back. Li Aiguo came over and said, "Uncle, that big car outside belongs to Captain Jiang, right?"

Li Xiance was still thinking about meeting the woodcutter tomorrow night, so he casually said, "Yes."

Li Aiguo stretched out his thumb and said: "Uncle, you are amazing, you know such a big shot!"
