Gu Qiuyan took the briefcase and helped him take off his windbreaker.
"Yes, I had a few drinks at the celebration party today."
"I'll get you some hot water later, soak your feet, and drink a cup of hot milk."
"Hard work."
"Should."
Gu Qiuyan is very familiar with these tasks and is becoming more and more accustomed to the role of Mrs. Gao Bin.
Moreover, the two of them now share a community of interests, so they should take care of each other.
Soaking my feet and drinking hot milk, the smell of alcohol was slowly dissipated.
Gu Qiuyan was doing needlework on the side, and the socks Gao Bin changed were torn.
It's not fashionable to change socks frequently these days. A patch will last you a long time.
"I saw Lao Wei today. He picked two baskets of insoles to sell on the street."
"This is the role he plays."
"I know. I went up and had a chat with him when there was no one around, and he asked you how Xiao Dong was doing."
Gao Bin shook his head:
"Do you even need to ask? He was tortured as soon as he entered, but he was very brave and insisted that he was being used and didn't know anything."
"I hope he can hold on." Gu Qiuyan is not optimistic about Xiaodong's future.
"If I don't save him, he will die."
"How's the medicine going?"
"I'm still thinking about it. If it doesn't work out, I'll pretend to be a embezzler and sell the medicine."
"This is a good idea, but isn't it too dangerous? And Lao Wei and the others can't afford so much money."
"So I haven't decided yet, I just have a preliminary idea."
"You have to think carefully, there can be no omissions."
Why did Gao Bin want to bribe Liu Kui? That was just the first step.
If he can make the entire police department monolithic, selling drugs will not be a problem.
The problem is that others are easy to talk to, but Gao Bin is not so easy to persuade.
...
At the end of December, Christmas had just passed in the West. On Sunday, Gao Bin was on duty in the hall. When he was bored, he ran to chat with Jin Xiaoyu and copied a few telegrams. I don’t know if they are useful, so I will copy them first. p>
When I got home from work at noon for dinner, Liu's mother was not at home. Gao Bin thought, he might as well not eat at home, but go out to have a good meal and live the world of two people.
Gu Qiuyan happily changed her clothes and went out with him, still saying on the way:
"It's rare to see you romantically."
"That's true. If I want to be wild, I have to be wild."
"What do you mean?" Gu Qiuyan deliberately lowered her face.
"You understand."
"Tch, you just don't have a good heart."
Gu Qiuyan is not angry either. She likes to quarrel with Gao Bin occasionally, which makes him feel depressed that he can't eat the meat. Whenever she sees Gao Bin's aggrieved expression, Gu Qiuyan becomes happy.
Especially when she wakes up every morning, how could she not notice the changes in Gao Bin?
"What do you want to eat later?"
"Western food, I want to eat steak."
"Okay, I'll take you to a good place."
...
This is a Russian-style Western restaurant. The owner is from Belarus. I heard that he is a nobleman. He moved his family to Bingcheng and spent huge sums of money to build this Ussuri restaurant.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be attracted by the huge Kremlin oil painting hanging on the wall. There is a fountain in front of the oil painting.
The walls of the restaurant are made of tender green marble, and white georgette and silver-gray velvet curtains hang on the long bright glass windows.
On the top is a plaster floral decoration composed of pine branches, pine cones and snowflakes.
On the four pillars in the middle of the hall, there are vibrant birds and beasts made of copper sheets.
Compared with old-fashioned restaurants, everything in Wusuli is more in line with the needs of modern people.
The kitchen equipment here is almost all electric, with seven large refrigerators, two large electric stoves, and various electric stoves for making coffee, baking snacks, and frying oil.
Each floor of the kitchen is equipped with electric conveyors to quickly deliver snacks and dishes.
All the tableware used here, except for the porcelain, was shipped from the Soviet Union. There are thousands of glass cups and crystal cups.
Of course, those who can dine here are all top-notch people in the Ice City.
Gao Bin's status here can only be regarded as a low-income person, but it doesn't matter, he is not here to cause trouble, he is just having a meal, and it is not that he cannot afford to pay.
"You said you were going to come here, so I dressed up." Gu Qiuyan held his arm and said angrily.
"What are you dressing up for? You can look stunning even without dressing up."
"Go, just be sweet."
The waiters in Ussuri are all pretty White Russian girls, tall and fair-skinned. They wear elaborate ethnic costumes and have an astonishing return rate.
Gao Bin was not surprised. He glanced at it twice and then turned his attention to the menu.
Because the restaurant mainly caters to celebrities, even the menu is made of particularly luxurious materials. Gao Bin couldn't tell you why, it just feels very high-end.
I browsed through it briefly and ordered a portion of borscht and a kebab, along with lamb pilaf, salad, king crab platter, ice cream, etc. There is a high probability that I won’t be able to finish them all, but in order to try something new, I had to order more.
Order some and maybe take them away.
Gao Bin is not afraid of embarrassment.
Since it wants to be romantic, it is natural to pair it with red wine.
Under the elegant and majestic roof, there are polished wine glasses, knives and forks, porcelain plates and flowers on the table. The wind blows the velvet curtains and snow-white georgette, and the pool sprays silver water.
The most popular "Evenings in the Suburbs of Moscow" and "Katyusha" sounded in her ears. This luxurious style and exotic atmosphere fascinated Gu Qiuyan.
Every woman doesn’t like romance, especially beauties, who are even more fascinated by this kind of thing.
At this time, Gao Bin noticed a white man with an aristocratic temperament observing him in a corner of the restaurant.
He just glanced at it and looked away, without making eye contact with the white man, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qiuyan noticed Gao Bin's strange expression and couldn't help asking.
"At 10 o'clock, there is a foreigner looking at me."
Gu Qiuyan took a quick look and also frowned:
"He is indeed paying attention to us. Who is he?"
"I don't know, don't be nervous. Even if it's bad for us, we won't do anything here. Just keep eating."
Gao Bin didn't remember that he had offended foreigners, and he didn't take it too seriously.
It was just this unexpected discovery that made Gu Qiuyan a little distracted. She glanced over from time to time, and she could always see the white man observing her and Gao Bin, which made her upset.
Their beautiful world was ruined by that annoying guy.
After finishing the meal and paying the bill, Gao Bin left Wusuli with Gu Qiuyan carrying the packed leftovers.
After getting in the car, Gu Qiuyan couldn't help it:
"Who is that person?"
"I don't know. I'll have someone check it out later. There shouldn't be any danger. I've never dealt with foreigners."
"I'm so annoyed. This meal is really depressing."
"Haha, not full? Go back and open a bottle of wine and have another meal. There is a lot left."
Mainly because they ordered too much, and some dishes were served slowly. By the time they were served, they had almost eaten.
In fact, Gu Qiuyan is a very literary and noble woman. She is very idealistic, sometimes naive and sometimes emotional. From a life perspective, you will definitely not feel bored when you are with such a woman.
But what they are doing requires extreme rationality, and based on this alone, Gu Qiuyan is not qualified.
Fortunately, Gao Bin's training was effective. After this period of subtle indoctrination, Gu Qiuyan's thinking had already changed.
All this is due to Gao Bin’s strength on the first night!
In other words, Gu Qiuyan is a woman who needs to be guided. She has her own ideas, but if she is used to obeying other people's orders, she will accept them calmly.
Just like now, a woman with great literary and artistic sentiments was infected by Gao Bin and became interested in money.
Of course, her inner character will not change. She knows that money is important, but she will not be overly greedy. This is the fundamental reason why Gao Bin is willing to tolerate her.
Once he discovers that her greed cannot be restrained, Gao Bin will not hesitate to take action to nip the danger in the bud.
After returning home, Gao Bin put the packed vegetables and rice in the kitchen, and then took out a few sticky notes from his briefcase, with groups of numbers recorded on them:
"First try to decipher these telegrams using the code book we intercepted before. I copied them randomly, there is no pattern."
"Where did you get it?"
"Jin Xiaoyu's office, you go and decipher it, I'll put the food on the plate, and we'll talk while drinking."
"Okay!"
Gu Qiuyan put away her depression and went upstairs with the telegram.
Gao Bin arranged the dining table and went upstairs to call Gu Qiuyan, who was immersed in deciphering.
"Come downstairs? Everything is ready."
"Okay, these messages have been encrypted twice. If there are more, I can perform reverse decryption. There are too few now, and it is not easy to find the pattern."
Gao Bin nodded:
"Don't rush, just take your time."
"Okay."
Gu Qiuyan put her things away and hid them, and followed Gao Bin downstairs. This time there were no prying eyes, and she felt much more relaxed.
...
On the first day of 1939, Gao Bin came out of the police station. After a few rounds, he went to Lao Wei's house and handed him the message decoded by Gu Qiuyan.
"Decrypted using Professor Jin's code?"
"Yes, Gu Qiuyan is a talent."
"Haha, don't you object to me letting her stay with you now?"
"As you say, is it useful if I object?"
"Of course it's useless, but I'm very pleased that you cooperated so well."
Suddenly he smiled ambiguously:
"Wait a minute, I feel like your relationship has improved by leaps and bounds. When I chatted with Gu Qiuyan before, she couldn't hide her pride and pride every time she mentioned you."
Gao Bin knew what he was going to say and shrugged:
"Don't worry, we are all sticking to the bottom line, but as time goes by, some things are inevitable."
Old Wei opened his mouth. He originally wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect Gao Bin to say such a thing. This is against discipline.
"Don't look at me like that. You should have thought of this consequence when you transferred her to me."
"Lao Gao, you can't be confused. If Zhang Pingru finds out about this..."
"He should have expected it, and this is the best ending."
"What do you mean?"
"It's impossible for me to keep someone who doesn't trust me and doesn't share the same heart with me. You know what I face every day."
Old Wei was speechless. Gao Bin's answer was beyond his expectation.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, just let it take its course. I believe Zhang Pingru can let it go."
"You are also a man. Can you accept it if it's you?"
"There is no need to make this assumption, because it does not exist."
He turned around and looked at Old Wei:
"Gu Qiuyan and I will not be together for a short time. Judging from the current situation, it won't end until seven or eight years. You know what this means."
Old Wei sighed:
"Maybe I shouldn't have transferred Gu Qiuyan to you in the first place."
"Do you have a better choice?"
Old Wei was speechless. Indeed, the situation was urgent and the only person he could think of was Gu Qiuyan.
Therefore, if Zhang Pingru really wants to blame, Lao Wei must also bear a share of the responsibility.
"Okay, let's be serious. Xiao Dong is still in charge of the interrogation room and suffers endless pain every day. If something is not done, he won't be able to hold on anymore."
Old Wei cheered up. Indeed, the mission is more important than the matters between men and women.
"What are your plans?"
"I have no plan. Xiao Dong is under strict guard and it is impossible to escape from prison."
"Then just watch him die? Or you can't stand the torture and rebel?"
Gao Bin asked him:
"Does Xiaodong know a lot?"
"He is a peripheral member who has just been recruited, and Sun Yuejian is his direct superior."
"I got Sun Yuejian from the Butou Police Station. In other words, if Xiao Dong rebels and follows the clues to investigate, it will be easy to find me?"
Old Wei felt a little guilty:
"I had no other choice at the time, so I had to ask you to rescue Sun Yuejian."
Gao Bin waved his hand:
"It's right to save her. The problem now is Xiao Dong."
"Is there any way to get him out and rob people outside? It would definitely be much easier than rushing into the police station to rob people." Lao Wei asked.
"There must be a way. The key is how to remove me."
"You design a plan and we will implement it."
"How many people do you have now?"
"Not counting the comrades in the mountains, we can use up to 10 people."
"Too little."
"There is no way, there is a shortage of people everywhere, and the current situation does not allow us to develop new downlines."
Gao Bin smacked his lips:
"I'll go back and think about it and give you a plan as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lao Gao."
"This is my job, it's nothing hard."
After leaving Lao Wei, Gao Bin went to find Ergou.
"You help me let the wind out, and tell me that the police department has a batch of medicine in my hands. This batch of medicine is priceless."
Ergou didn't ask why and nodded to accept the task.
In just three or two days, a message was spread throughout the underground world of Ice City, saying that the police department had a batch of medicine ready for sale, and the one with the highest price would get it.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Bin went straight to the section chief's office.
"Section Chief, the news outside has spread. Do we want to control it?"
"It's strange, how did the news get out?"
"Our actions were widely publicized by radio and newspapers at the beginning. It is not surprising that people with great powers know about it." Gao Bin's explanation is quite reasonable.
"My wife asked me last night if this was true, and how much money I could make from it? What a bunch of women." Section Chief Gao smiled helplessly.
"I'm the same. I've been harassed a lot in the past few days by people who want to get a share of this batch of medicine. There are many big shots among them."
"It seems that we can't keep this medicine, so we have to sell it?"
"Keeping it doesn't mean much to us. Selling it can also generate income for the police department, and the brothers can also have a good year."
Gao Bin expressed his attitude in this way. He was in favor of selling.
Because of this news, people at the police station were agitated. There were indeed many people waiting for the medicine to be sold, and they were giving out Chinese New Year red envelopes.
"Then sell it, but be careful not to let it flow to the mountains!"
"Don't worry, I'll let Liu Kui take charge of this matter. You know his character."
"Well, let's go make arrangements and get this matter settled quickly. I'm tired of it."
"Yes!"
Gao Bin used a trick to divert trouble to the east and revitalize the pharmaceutical issue.
As long as the medicine leaves the police station, no matter who gets it, it will eventually be intercepted by the Anti-League people and sent to the mountains.
Whether Gao Bin will pursue the case at that time is none of his business.
After all, who can predict next week’s weather?
...
However, something unexpected happened, and Gao Bin's plan to sell drugs was stopped by his superiors just after it started.
At this time, he was receiving ‘criticism’ in Section Chief Gao’s office.
"I just said it's not that simple. Look, the people in the gendarmerie are not happy."
"They are not willing to sell medicine. They just don't want us to be left alone."
"No matter what the reason is, don't worry about the medicine. This batch of medicine has nothing to do with us."
Gao Bin gritted his teeth:
"Not necessarily."
"How to say?"
"Since we're not allowed to sell it, let's do something big with this batch of medicine!"
"For example?"
"If we add chemicals to the medicine, let one of our men pretend to be a rebel, and take this batch of medicine to the mountains, the gendarmerie will be satisfied with this plan, right?"
When Section Chief Gao heard this, he was astonished:
"This plan is so great. All the people who resisted the alliance will die of poisoning without losing a single soldier. Captain Gao, why didn't you come up with such a good idea earlier?"
"I was forced to have no choice. I originally wanted to make some money and let my brothers have a good year, but who would have thought that something unexpected happened."
"Haha, I would say you are just hiding your clumsiness and don't show your true ability until the critical moment."
"No, no, section chief, I praise you."
"In this case, you go back and present the plan in writing, and I will report to Director White."
"Yes! I will formulate a report as soon as possible."
"Hurry, I can't wait to see this great plan take shape."
"Understood."
"As for the traitor, who are you going to use?" Section Chief Gao asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have anyone to choose?"
"The new police officer Ren needs a chance to stand out, and as a newcomer, he can easily be swayed by red ideas. I think it is very logical and will not be suspected by the Anti-League people."
Gao Bin frowned:
"Officer Ren, is he too young? Inexperienced."
"Experience is gained slowly, and youth is an advantage, so it's decided." No one can change what Section Chief Gao decides.
...
This plan is actually Gao Bin's Plan B, which he originally didn't want to adopt because the variables were too big and at least half of the drugs would be unusable, which would be too wasteful.
But things go wrong and plan A fails, so we can only settle for the next best thing. At least half of the medicines are still usable, and every one can be saved.
With Gao Bin's approval, this plan was quickly promoted.
Before injecting the medicine into the biological reagent in the small book, he had to do some tricks on the medicine box, lest the anti-Union man really died of poisoning, then he would really become a hero of the National Police Agency.
