At this moment, Yan Qinghui brought up old things again and Nie Hong felt something in his heart.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Nie Hong asked.
"The library assists the special agent corps. You may know the specific tasks it is responsible for."
"you know?"
"It happens that a fellow countryman is working there, so I went to find him today to inquire about it."
"They will tell you casually?"
"This mission is no longer a secret in the Secret Service Corps."
"Say." Nie Hong's face became serious.
Yan Qinghui touched the teacup with his long fingers and said: "Investigating the Red Party..."
"Then?"
"Is the library really troubled?" Yan Qinghui's tone did not change at all, and he remained as cold and calm as ever.
But Nie Hong was a little excited when he heard this and said: "The task is so difficult, it is not normal to be stumped. Why do you ask like that?"
"If you think so, then we can check out and leave." Yan Qinghui stopped talking and stretched out his hand to indicate the check.
But Nie Hong said: "Wait!"
Seeing that Nie Hong no longer pretended to be confused, Yan Qinghui put down his hand and said, "Can we talk now?"
"Do you understand what you are saying?"
"certainly."
The atmosphere fell into silence.
After a moment, Nie Hong spoke: "The task is extremely difficult. There is a possibility that he will be stumped."
"When anything is possible, then it is possible."
"He had no reason to do that?"
"So I'm surprised too."
"It's definitely different from what you think." Nie Hong said.
"How can you know what I'm thinking if you don't want to."
The two of them had the same idea!
The tea ripples in the tea cup.
"The explanation doesn't make sense." Nie Hong drank the tea in one gulp.
"Why Shutang chose to retreat alone is still unclear."
"Do you suspect it is related to this matter?"
"It's just a guess."
"But your guess makes me feel very uncomfortable."
"Then make yourself comfortable."
"how to do?"
"It rained last night!" Yan Qinghui said concisely and to the point.
Nie Hong smiled bitterly: "You heard the news from the Secret Service Corps, so why don't you just go there yourself? Why don't you call me?"
“After someone’s clues are revealed and someone is sad, you still have someone to back you up.”
"If you make me sad, why bother me?"
"Then are you going?"
"Go." Nie Hong knew he couldn't escape today.
Before leaving the teahouse, go to the residence of Song Shutang in Xialuojiawan.
On the way, Nie Hong was still explaining: "Don't reveal your secrets and be normal. If you get anxious, I won't see what you will do."
"You coax."
"Why should I wipe your ass?"
"You're coming too."
"I got on your pirate ship."
"I don't believe you are not curious as to why the study hall evacuated and came back alone."
"I can figure it out myself."
"Ah!"
"hehe!"
The two came to the door at the address Song Shutang had previously informed.
But after knocking on the door, I found no one in the house.
"Not at home." Nie Hong's tone was a little relaxed for some reason.
"It doesn't seem to be a coincidence."
"Let's go."
"Let's go." Yan Qinghui also showed no resistance to leaving.
Nie Hong muttered behind his back: "You're not even the same as me."
The two of them left with a lighter pace than when they arrived!
But when I reached the intersection, I saw a person approaching from far away. Before he could reach me, a voice came out: "Brother Nie, Brother Yan, why are you here?"
Song Shutang got off the rickshaw with Long Hao at the intersection. When he came back, he saw Nie Hong and Yan Qinghui here, and his tone was slightly surprised.
"I just knocked on the door and you weren't home." Nie Hong threw the newly lit cigarette behind his back.
"I went to Chaotianmen Pier for investigation work today and came back a little late."
"We have nothing to do, thinking that you haven't come to visit us since you moved, so we decided on a whim today."
"Come in and sit down."
At the invitation of Song Shutang, the three of them returned home together.
"Brother Nie, Brother Yan, sit down and I'll pour you some water."
"not busy."
"There's just no tea at home."
"Just drink water."
When two glasses of water were placed in front of the two of them, Song Shutang asked with a smile: "Is this room okay?"
"Quite good, the Intelligence Department treats you well."
"fine."
"How do you get along?"
"The team leader Zhu Yue is very nice."
"Smart man." Yan Qinghui said suddenly.
Song Shutang and Nie Hong were already familiar with his style, and they looked at each other and smiled.
During the chat, after finishing a glass of water, Nie Hong said, "We won't disturb you if you are busy with work. Let's meet up another day when we have time."
"Now that you're here, sit down for a while."
"You go to bed earlier."
Song Shutang took them all the way to the intersection before parting ways.
"You are wearing the same clothes as when you were eating yesterday, and you haven't changed your shoes. Are you at ease now?" Nie Hong whispered after turning a corner.
"I felt at ease originally."
"Confusing right and wrong."
"I can vaguely smell the damp smell on my clothes when I get closer."
"I have been busy on the wooden boat at the dock today. It rained last night and today there is heavy water vapor on the river. Flooding is not normal."
"yes."
Nie Hong and Yan Qinghui looked at each other without saying a word, and walked towards their respective residences.
At this time, Song Shutang took off the clothes he had left to dry last night in the house and breathed a sigh of relief.
The clothes had to be hung to dry last night!
We must go to the wooden boat to investigate today!
Indispensable.
The meeting was brief.
It didn't take long to meet the guests in the house.
Song Shutang felt physically and mentally exhausted after such a scene.
It is even more tiring and laborious than facing a Japanese spy.
I didn't sleep well tonight and got up early to start a new day's work.
You and Long Hao still have to go to the dock to investigate.
In fact, it is difficult to make progress in the investigation work. It is best to cooperate with the Ministry of Transportation and the police for the purpose of deterrence. But you went to investigate the Chuanjiang wooden boat yesterday, how can you suddenly stop today.
The nearest Eggplant Pier, Chai Pier, and Dung Pier are all visited by members of the same group.
Song Shutang and the two went to Chuqi Pier, which was a little further away.
Most of the goods arriving at Chuqi Wharf are Chinese medicinal materials and mountain products. Shancheng Medicinal Materials Association is located in Yangziba, Chuqimen, which is also a prosperous commercial area.
The wharf’s Chinese medicinal herbs have a strong flavor.
There are strict rules and regulations for transporting Chinese medicinal materials.
And with the rapid increase in the population of mountainous cities, the demand for medicines has increased rapidly, and the supply of Western medicines and Chinese medicines exceeds the demand.
The numerous casualties brought about by bombings from time to time also require a large amount of medicinal materials.
After a busy day working with Chinese medicinal materials, Long Hao felt that both he and Song Shutang were covered in this smell, but the result was still fruitless.
"I don't know what the discussion between the director and the superiors is going to be like. It would be much more efficient for us to contact and investigate early." Long Hao sat on the stone steps of the pier to rest.
"It should be soon."
"Go back to Corey tomorrow and ask."
"OK."
Still have dinner at Chuqimen Pier and go back to rest.
The next day the two went back to Corey to inquire about the matter.
"It has been agreed that a notice will be issued today. The Ministry of Transportation and the police station will send manpower." Zhu Yue received the news in advance from Shen Lushui.
"What about us?" Long Hao asked.
"You guys should be responsible."
It has been agreed upon in previous discussions that if anything is discovered during the Lianhe investigation, it will be handed over to the Intelligence Division for investigation.
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications and the Police Department are not involved in the investigation.
It is indeed appropriate for Song Shutang to be responsible for this matter as the deputy team leader.
"No problem." Song Shutang said.
For him to be responsible is not to go to the dock to investigate like he did in the past two days.
But whoever discovers something during the investigation needs to report it to Song Shutang, who is responsible for the follow-up investigation.
"How many people have come out of each department?" Song Shutang asked.
"The Ministry of Transportation mainly provides wooden boat information and employee information, so there are only about 20 people who come out. The police department dispatches more manpower, totaling 70 people. I assigned 30 people to one group to take charge. At the same time, the patrol team on the river also
Send more than a dozen people and two boats."
There are enough manpower to conduct large-scale investigations.
The main purpose is to create a sense of tension, put pressure on the person with ghosts in his heart, and force him not to act rashly under high pressure.
Of course it would be best to have unexpected gains.
