When Zuo Shaoqing and You Shaoqing returned to the bureau headquarters with their own people, it was already broad daylight.【】
Zuo Shaoqing ordered Lucheng to send the suspect to the detention center first. The rest of the people went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
Zuo Shaoqing didn't want to have breakfast. She felt sleepy, tired, stiff as iron, and covered in dust. She went to the office to get a towel and soap, and went to the bathroom to take a shower alone.
There is hot water in the bathroom 24 hours a day, which was strictly stipulated by Boss Dai when he was alive. Another benefit stipulated by Boss Dai is that the canteen, fish, meat, vegetables, steamed buns and rice are open to the public and free of charge.
The hot water sprayed from the showerhead rushed over Zuo Shaoqing's body. She felt that the blood was slowly flowing in her body, and her muscles and joints were gradually relaxing. She let out a long breath. She had not been there for two days.
Sleep well, sleepiness is like mist covering her eyes.
Her heart was struggling back and forth between two ends of the same thing. On one end was Liang Jicheng, who had just been arrested, and on the other was her sister. When her sister was hanging outside the eaves, the look in her eyes that was looking at her always appeared in front of her eyes.
Zuo Shaoqing once again felt deeply at this time that she wanted this sister so much. She was her only relative. However, they met like enemies and were fighting secretly. This state at this time was just like
It was like a knife, piercing straight into her heart.
Zuo Shaoqing raised her face and let the hot water hit her face directly. She felt that tears were rolling down her face. Her chest was trembling and rising as if she was being shocked by electricity.
There was a sound on the bathroom door. Zuo Shaoqing turned around and saw his sister walking in. She had already taken off her clothes, holding a towel and soap in her hand, and looked at her with some surprise. I really don't know why, but they still didn't speak, as if
They are still standing on the high wall.
You Shaoqing walked to her sister's side quietly, turned on the other shower head, and wiped her body with a towel.
For a long time, there was only the sound of rushing water in the bathroom. Then there was the water mist that kept rising and filled the space between the two of them, blocking them like a wall.
Zuo Shaoqing turned her back to her sister from time to time. She had a feeling that she was like herself in the mirror. Their bodies and skin were exactly the same. She saw the soap in her sister's hand and reached behind to apply it. She was moved by it and walked over.
, took the soap in her hand and rubbed soap on her sister's back. The sister did not move. But Zuo Shaoqing's heart was beating like a stream flowing through rocks, gurgling. She used another
One hand rubbed her sister's back.
You Shaoqing turned his face sideways and said in a low-pitched voice, somewhat viciously: "Try harder!"
Zuo Shaoqing applied a little more force. Soap foam appeared on her back as smooth as jade. Her hand rubbed her sister's shoulders and back, and then slid down her left arm. In an instant, she touched the hard-to-reach
She noticed the scar. She slowly stretched out her left arm and joined it with her sister's left arm. On the two equally smooth and round arms, there was an almost identical scar. Both sisters lowered their heads and looked at the scar.
That moment seemed like forever.
You Shaoqing made the first move. She opened her sister's hand, turned around and took the soap from her hand. She grabbed her sister's shoulder and pulled her to turn around. The movement was like asking a suspect to turn around.
Turning around, she began to rub soap on her sister's back.
Zuo Shaoqing closed her eyes, tears rolling down her face. When her sister scrubbed her back, she used nails. Her nails were sharp and sharp, and they scratched her back hard. She knew there would be traces of scars on her back.
There were dozens of red scratches, but she endured it. Her sister's nails gave her skin a refreshing feeling like a knife.
You Shaoqing stopped her hand. She leaned close to her sister's ear and whispered conspiratorially: "Don't think that I will thank you if you give me a hand. Even if I fall, I will break my ankle at most."
Zuo Shaoqing turned her face to the side. She could not see her sister's face. She also said softly: "I know. I didn't expect you to thank me. I pulled you just out of instinct. You don't have to think too much."
"It's good that you know." The voice was still vicious.
"It's okay to break your ankle, just don't break your neck." Zuo Shaoqing whispered.
"You cursed me!"
"I'm just reminding you."
"I'm telling you, my matter with you is not over yet, just wait!"
"I know. The matter between you and me will never be over. Just wait."
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing's heart was as painful as a knife.
Neither sister spoke anymore. Water mist enveloped them. Two identical bodies, as smooth as jade, were looming in the mist. They both finished taking a bath, got dressed, and left the bathroom one after the other.
When they walked out of the bathroom, they looked like two blooming peonies, but they were also cold.
Zuo Shaoqing returned to the office. When Liu Qiuyue saw her, she took out a horn comb from the drawer and stood up to hold her. Zuo Shaoqing said nothing, turned around and sat down on the chair. Liu Qiuyue wrapped a towel around her
On his shoulders, he untied her wet hair and began to comb it gently.
Just ten minutes ago, Liu Qiuyue went to the bathroom. She guessed that the young master might need her help to rub his back while taking a shower. But as soon as she entered the dressing room, she saw the young master and her
Sisters, stand under the shower head and scrub each other's backs.
At that moment, Liu Qiuyue couldn't explain why. That warm and beautiful scene made her feel fear from the bottom of her heart. In the second place, they were known to be mortal enemies!
Liu Qiuyue vaguely felt that she had to be extremely careful between the two sisters. There is no eternal enemy in the world, and time will change everything. Liu Qiuyue was smart and wise, and she thought of this before anyone else.
Liu Qiuyue leaned close to Zuo Shaoqing's ear and whispered: "Lao He just came to inform that there will be a meeting in the department at ten o'clock."
Zuo Shaoqing nodded, "I understand." She knew in her heart that this was another level she had to pass.
The work meeting of the Second Division was held at ten o'clock sharp. The officers participating in the meeting sat upright and looked at each other.
This morning's operation cannot be said to be good or bad. The main target has been arrested, which is a good thing. But one person still escaped. In this matter, there is something unclear.
Ye Gongjin looked at the officers at the table with a gentle smile on his face, but there was anger hidden in his eyes. He generally knew the actions this morning. But in every step, there was something that surprised him. This is
He must find out clearly.
Ye Gongjin said softly: "Today's meeting is a short one, not long. I ask, and you answer." He looked around at the officers at the table again, and finally laid his eyes on Zuo Shaoqing's face, "Young Master Zuo, tell me first.
, why did you take sudden action this morning?”
Zuo Shaoqing glanced at him and said softly: "Yesterday, the director ordered to wait a few days before taking action. I was also prepared in the same way. But at 4:30 this morning, the brothers below called and suspected that the target might escape. So,
I took action ahead of time."
"Are there any signs?" Ye Gongjin asked casually.
"Yes." Zuo Shaoqing replied, "The surveillance brothers found that the lights in the target's room had not been turned off all night. In addition, there was smoke coming from the chimney on the roof. We suspected that he was burning something and wanted to run away."
"what else?"
"Before the brother below called me, he found that a person rushed to the target's home. I think the purpose of the director asking me to wait for a few days before taking action was to wait for someone to come to the door. This purpose has been achieved."
Ye Gongjin turned to Zhao Minggui, "The target is really burning parts?"
Zhao Minggui nodded and said: "Yes. Many pieces were burned. But we still grabbed some."
"Is it valuable?"
"One thing. There are two preliminary judgments at present. First, this person is related to the Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi guerrilla columns of the Communist Party. Furthermore, it may also be related to the wounded person we have monitored before. Second, from the remaining parts
It is judged that they are also related to the arms case. Whether there are other circumstances is still being analyzed."
This situation surprised Ye Gongjin. He couldn't help but think that maybe the wounded man was still in Nanjing.
Ye Gongjin asked: "Young Master Zuo, has that person been caught?"
Zuo Shaoqing replied in a low voice: "No, let him run away." She raised her head and glanced at her sister.
Ye Gongjin observed this look. This was also one of the questions in his mind. He heard that this morning, You Shaoqing came back in Zuo Shaoqing's car. These two sisters...them...? In Ye Gongjin's heart, he felt sorry for these two
All the young ministers were full of doubts.
He asked: "Young Master, are you there too?"
You Shaoqing raised her head and said somewhat reluctantly: "Yes, Zuo Shao and I. That man's kung fu was very good and he ran very fast. We didn't catch up." She did not mention the scene of hanging outside the eaves at that time.
People knew about this, but she didn't want to mention it. She couldn't help but stare at Zuo Shaoqing again.
Ye Gongjin also stared at Zuo Shaoqing, "Zuo Shaoqing, is that person who came later here to report the news?"
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him and knew in her heart that he had got the key point. She said: "It looks like it, but it doesn't look like it."
"Why?"
"The brothers below reported that this man came running, which is very much like he came to report a message. The reason why he didn't look like it was because after he came, neither of them left immediately, and they stayed in the house for nearly
An hour. He didn't run away until we entered the door. I can't think of anything he had to say that lasted so long. Besides, this was a young man, he didn't seem like an important person. Last but not least, before this man came,
The target has already started burning the files, and it has been burning for almost three hours. So, I can’t say whether he is here to report a message."
Ye Gongjin kept this question in his heart. What Zuo Shao said was indeed reasonable. But if this person really came to report the news, it meant that someone inside had leaked the secret. He didn't want to alarm anyone because of this matter, and he would find out later.
The squad leader Zheng that Ye Gongjin wanted to find out returned to Lao Li's secret residence at around seven o'clock in the morning. He did not dare to knock on the door. He walked back and forth on the street twice to confirm that there was no suspicious person around.
Man, then he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
When Lao Li heard that Liang Jicheng might have been arrested, he couldn't help but stamp his foot. Lin Xiu hurriedly supported him and told him not to use too much force to avoid shaking the wound.
Lao Li asked: "Xiao Zheng, did you notify me in time?"
Squad leader Zheng started to sweat on his head and replied: "I arrived at half past four. Lao Liang said that the files must be burned and cannot fall into the hands of the agents. I helped him burn the files. At about five o'clock, the agents came
Here we come." He was silent for a moment and whispered: "Chief, I should stay and let Comrade Liang go first..."
Lao Li frowned, "I didn't tell you that. You should tell him to retreat immediately!"
Xiao Zheng did not dare to speak. He lowered his head and sweat was already flowing down his forehead.
Lin Xiu stood nearby and said softly: "Old Li, Xiao Zheng is not to blame for this matter. When he gets there, he should listen to Comrade Lao Liang's instructions. Besides, the matter may be really important and cannot fall into the hands of the spies."
Lao Li didn't say anything else, she just paced back and forth in the room.
Lin Xiu waved her hand and told Xiao Zheng to leave, and continued: "Old Li, I'm not guessing what will happen to Comrade Lao Liang. It's just that once he is arrested, you can't stay in this place, and you have to leave here."
Lao Li looked at her, knowing that what she said was right. He couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "Hurry up and tell them to pack their things, and let's go."
At about ten o'clock, Du Ziyuan had received the news and rushed here. Everyone who came to the house was packing their things, so he felt relieved.
He went upstairs and saw Lao Li already dressed, with a wide-brimmed hat on his head covering the gauze. Lin Xiu stood beside him, holding his arm.
As soon as Lao Li saw Du Ziyuan, he hurriedly took his arm and said, "Lao Du, you came just in time. I really want to beg you this time."
Du Ziyuan helped him sit down first, "Old Li, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Lao Li thought for a moment and said softly: "I received a telegram from the East China Bureau the day before yesterday, asking me not to return to the base for the time being, but to stay in Nanjing and complete the arms deal first. This matter is very important."
Du Ziyuan said: "I know and I understand."
"Lao Du, Liang Jicheng is very likely to have been arrested now. I have people on hand now. I can only ask you to help me in this matter. Okay?"
Du Ziyuan was very embarrassed for a moment. Arms trading was not within the scope of his work. But after all, the East China Bureau was also his superior. He nodded, "Okay, Lao Li, I will try my best. You'd better leave now, here
Can't stay a moment longer."
When Lin Xiu helped Lao Li walk out, he still looked back from time to time, looking at Du Ziyuan eagerly.
A few minutes later, Lao Li and Lin Xiuru, a couple, went out and boarded a rickshaw outside. Several of his guards walked in front and behind, carefully observing the surrounding situation.
Du Ziyuan came out last, got into the rickshaw, and followed from a distance. What he was worried about was whether Lao Li's arms deal would affect "Fishbone". This was what he was most worried about.
"Fishbone" was already on pins and needles at this time.
When the work meeting of the Second Division was coming to an end, Ye Gongjin slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on Zuo Shaoqing's face, "Young Master Zuo, you discovered this person first and you captured him. You should be responsible for the interrogation. We must let him
He spoke."
When Zuo Shaoqing heard this order, it was as if ten thousand cold needles were piercing her body. She really had no choice but to stand up slowly and say: "Yes, I will definitely do it."
From the corner of her eyes, she saw You Shaoqing raising his head and looking at her intently.
