It was getting dark outside. The growing coolness caused the humid air to condense into dewdrops, which hung on the leaves and grass tips, shining with crystal light in the night.
Zuo Shaoqing's heart was filled with hope, and he and his sister stood in front of the building. Neither of them wanted to speak first.
A car drove over and stopped in front of the door. You Shaoqing walked over, opened the front door and got in. Zuo Shaoqing walked to the other side of the car and waved to the driver. The driver got out of the car.
, stepped aside. Zuo Shaoqing got into the car, turned the steering wheel and drove towards the gate.
While the car was driving on the road, Zuo Shaoqing peeked at his sister from time to time. But her sister had no expression at all and was looking straight ahead. Even so, Zuo Shaoqing was still secretly glad in her heart that her sister could take the initiative to look for her.
She is extremely lucky and happy to go home with her.
When they got home, Zuo Shaoqing parked the car in the open space in front of the door. They stepped up the stairs one after another. When they got to the door, Zuo Shaoqing lowered his head and opened the door with the key.
However, as soon as the door opened, You Shaoqing made a move from behind. She punched her sister on the back of the neck. Zuo Shaoqing was completely unprepared and stumbled into the room, almost falling to the ground.
When Zuo Shaoqing turned around, his sister's face was swollen red, her mouth was grinning, and she was about to burst into tears. She jumped up, stretched out her right palm to catch her sister's second punch, and used the strength to push it into her arms.
Pulling. When she lost her center of gravity and leaned into her arms, her left hand passed through her sister's armpit and went up to cover her mouth. She raised her right foot and kicked the door shut. Then she controlled her sister to step forward.
He went to the cupboard, reached out and turned on the radio, and then hugged her tightly.
When the gongs and drums on the radio sounded, she heard her sister's long cry.
Zuo Shaoqing hugged his sister tightly from behind and hugged her tightly. The sister cried one after another and tried his best to break free from her arms. Zuo Shaoqing tried his best to hold her body. The sister
Struggling desperately, she stepped on her feet, kicked her legs with her heels, and hit her body backwards with her fists. She struggled desperately. But Zuo Shaoqing hugged her sister tightly and refused to let go.
Gradually, the grievances in Zuo Shaoqing's heart also came up. Her feet hurt, her legs hurt, and her heart hurt even more. She also started to cry, hugged her sister's body, and shook her left and right.
Move her. The sad sisters cried loudly and quietly.
You Shaoqing finally broke free from her sister's arms. She grabbed her sister's clothes and shook her, crying and saying, "Why are you crying? What do you have to cry for?"
Zuo Shaoqing cried bitterly, grabbed his sister and shook her hard, "Why did you hit me! Ah! Why did you do it! You hit me from behind, you are a villain, you are a bastard!"
"You bullied me, so why don't you tell me! How did you bully me!"
"Why are you trying to trick me!"
"Then why did you do that to me? You sent so many people. There are only eight of us! Who is to blame!"
"You lied to someone and said he was going to speak. Who are you lying to?"
"Why do you have to take away Wang? If I don't give it to you, are you going to beat us all to death?"
"Wang Tiancai won't speak at all, and I can't let him speak!"
"Why? Why!" my sister cried, her face covered with tears.
"Wang Tiancai is destined to die, he must die! No one can save him, do you know that?"
"I don't know! I just don't know! How else are you going to bully me?"
"Why don't you understand! What are you trying to do!"
"I just don't understand. Ah! Why?"
"Sit down, sit down! Sit down and I'll tell you!"
Zuo Shaoqing finally put his sister on the sofa and asked her to sit down. She wiped the tears on her face and turned around and went into the kitchen. She first twisted a towel and wiped her face. Then she rubbed the towel and twisted it.
After leaving the kitchen, she wanted to hand the towel to her sister.
But my sister refused to answer, "I don't need your tattered towel, I don't need it! Make it clear to me, make it clear!"
Zuo Shaoqing unfolded the towel and immediately put his arms around her neck, almost forcefully, wiping her face one by one. Then he put the towel on her nose and shouted: "Blow it, blow it!
Did you hear that?"
You Shaoqing blew his nose hard like an obedient little girl.
Zuo Shaoqing pointed at her, "Don't cry anymore, do you hear me! If you cry again, your eyes will be swollen and others will see you." She glared at her sister and ordered: "Say oh!"
My sister pursed her lips and responded, "Oh."
Zuo Shaoqing returned to the kitchen and washed the towel again. When he came back, he put the towel on his sister's hand and said, "Wipe it again and wipe it clean."
You Shaoqing pouted and wiped his face vigorously. Zuo Shaoqing grabbed the towel and threw it on the coffee table.
The two sisters finally calmed down. They sat side by side on the sofa, both of them seemed to have suffered a great deal. The music on the radio was babbling, but they could not hear what they were singing.
Zuo Shaoqing picked up the cigarettes on the coffee table, took out one and held it between his fingers.
My sister shouted: "I want it too!"
Zuo Shaoqing glared at her. But once he saw her pouted mouth and pink face, he lost his temper. She handed her the cigarette in her hand and took another one. She lit the cigarette with a lighter.
He took a strong breath.
You Shaoqing only took a few puffs, then threw the cigarette to the ground with all his strength, and shouted to her: "Say it, say it! Why did you have to take Wang Tiancai away! Why did he have to die! Just say it!"
Zuo Shaoqing turned back to her and said, "Why can't you figure it out? The arms case is a hornet's nest, why do you want to poke it in? When I first investigated the arms case, Ye Gongjin didn't dare to investigate further. I had no choice.
The case was just concluded. There were too many people involved in the arms case, and they were all big shots."
You Shaoqing stared at her and said nothing.
Zuo Shaoqing continued: "Why was your Wang Tiancai beaten to death? It was because someone wanted to kill someone to silence him and not let him speak. Let me tell you, I was also entrusted by someone to get rid of Wang Tiancai. In this matter, I am
If you have asked the director for instructions, the director has agreed!"
You Shaoqing was even more surprised. He stared at her and said, "You sent so many people, you could have killed him directly. Why didn't you do it?"
"You are stupid. I want to get rid of him, but I can't leave anyone with any excuse. You still can't figure this out?"
You Shaoqing stopped talking at this time, her eyes full of doubts. She stared at her sister for a while, then whispered: "Who are you? Aren't you a Communist? Why do you want to protect those corrupt people?"
A big shot who violates the law and smuggles arms? Who are you?"
Zuo Shaoqing opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer, and said: "I am nothing, I am who I am, and I am your sister. Just remember this."
You Shaoqing still stared at her, his eyes full of doubts.
Zuo Shaoqing glanced at the alarm clock on the cupboard, turned her off, and said, "Stop staring. It's past five o'clock, and it's almost dawn. Go lie down for a while, and be obedient." She stretched out her hand to pick up her sister, and walked toward the back room.
.
She turned off the radio and the room became quiet again.
At five o'clock in the morning, the office of the deputy warden of the Army Prison was quiet and uneasy.
Chang Fu sat motionless at the table, holding his forehead with his hands. His whole body was stiff, and fear was pressing on his body and heart like a mountain. It was already the second night that he sat here like this.
Waiting for news.
As soon as he heard that Wang Tiancai had returned to Nanjing, he was so frightened that he did not dare to touch the arms deal anymore. He said to Dong Zhengming: "As soon as he opens his mouth, we are all finished. No one can escape!"
There was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door and stopped outside. Chang Fu turned his head and stared at the door in horror.
The door opened, and it was Dong Zhengming who came in. He stood at the door and looked at Chang Fu seriously.
Dong Zhengming walked to the table and sat down, and finally said: "Wang Tiancai is dead."
Chang Fu opened his mouth wide, "When?"
"Just now, it was one o'clock in the morning. I was sure that he was dead."
"Who killed him?"
"I."
"Is it you?" Chang Fu hugged him and backed away in horror, "Is it true?"
"Yes. Don't worry, I'm sure he's dead."
"Why?" Chang Fu asked him fearfully.
"I have to do this. There are some things you don't know. The buyer has put tremendous pressure on General Zhang. They said that if Wang Tiancai does not die, the arms deal will be terminated. General Zhang is also anxious. Just like that, the higher-ups will give me the order.
After receiving the death order, Wang Tiancai must be eliminated."
But Chang Fu was not relaxed. He still stared at Dong Zhengming in fear and said softly: "Maybe one day, you will receive an order again..." He pointed to his forehead and did not continue.
Dong Zhengming grabbed his hand with a smile on his face, "Brother Chang Fu, I have some good news to tell you. The boss asked me to pass a message to you. As long as this business is completed, I will let you go. But
, there are two conditions.”
"What conditions?" Chang Fu asked doubtfully.
"First, the business must be completed by next week at the latest."
"Why?"
"Brother Chang Fu, you don't know that the current situation is not good. There is reliable news that the Communist army may start a war with us in the Northeast. Once a war breaks out, the arms will not be able to move. Therefore, you must act quickly."
"I also hope it ends soon. What else?"
"Second, after you leave, you can only hide in the areas occupied by the Communist troops. Do you understand this? Only if you hide there, people here will not be able to find you."
Chang Fu nodded. This news made him feel at ease. The meaning behind this news was that the superiors were indeed going to let him go. A smile finally appeared on his face, "Brother Zhengming, thank you, I will not forget you."
Dong Zhengming looked outside and said, "It's already dawn. What should you do?"
Chang Fu whispered: "I'll go back to the cell and get some sleep. Tonight, I want to determine the departure time."
Dong Zhengming stood up and said, "Okay, I'll take you back."
Chang Fu stood up and glanced outside again. It was indeed bright outside.
At this time, in Zuo Shaoqing's home, the light from outside had shone through the curtains into the room.
Zuo Shaoqing was half asleep. She turned over and slowly opened her eyes. She saw her sister staring at her sharply. She asked, "What's wrong with you? You're not sleeping at all?"
You Shaoqing raised his nose, curled his lips, and said in a somewhat evil voice: "I've been thinking about who you are. Can't you tell me who you are?"
"Smelly girl, you are thinking blindly again. Who do you think I am?"
"I have long been sure that you are a communist. But, last night, you were so crazy and brutal in trying to take away Wang Tiancai! If Wang Tiancai gets into your hands, you will definitely kill him! That's right. But, what exactly are you doing?
Who is he? I'm really confused."
Zuo Shaoqing patted her and said, "You little girl, stop thinking nonsense. I am who I am and nothing else. Just remember that I am your sister." She laughed and poked her sister, "I said
, you can come to my place at night from now on and be my sister’s companion.”
You Shaoqing shrugged his nose, "You think so!"
Zuo Shaoqing smiled and said: "You can also ask yourself, who am I?"
This sentence really touched You Shaoqing. It has been three or four months since she left Xufu Lane. She had promised Ye Gongjin to give him a proof. But this promise was not fulfilled. In the past, she
She firmly believed that this sister was an agent. But now, even she herself had doubts about it.
Who is this sister? She really wants to find out this.
The officials must have guessed that the relationship between the two sisters has unknowingly entered a new stage. Let me summarize their relationship below: they are sisters at night, but they are still rivals during the day.
