Gu Xiaomai rambled on about the so-called information, which basically covered the daily life of the Dagu detachment, including political commissar Bao's daily ideological education class, the composition of the Dagu detachment, etc.
Shen Zhifeng felt drowsy after listening to it. Seeing that Gumai continued to talk endlessly, he quickly signaled him to stop and said: "I basically know these situations, let me tell you something you haven't said before."
Gu Xiaomai scratched his head: "Things I haven't said before... Oh, by the way, Cao Yunfei has a sweetheart in Yanjin named Black Pearl, who lives in Laosantiao Hutong."
"lover?"
"That happened in the past. Since Cao Yunfei joined the Communist Party, he and Black Pearl have long since broken up."
"If you say it, you haven't said it yet!"
"Listen to me, our captain...oh, no, Cao Yunfei is a nostalgic person. That woman has been with him for several years. In fact, he is still thinking about the Black Pearl."
Shen Zhifeng glanced at Gu Xiaomai's injured leg and said, "Yes, if Cao Yunfei didn't miss the past, you would have no chance to sit in front of me and talk."
Gumai smiled and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shen Zhifeng said casually: "What does that black pearl do? Bitch?"
"A ditty singer."
"Oh? Then how did they meet?"
"Once, Cao Yunfei went to the city to do business. When he was eating in a restaurant, a drunk guy teased Black Pearl, and the result..."
Shen Zhifeng said with a smile: "In the end, when Cao Yunfei saw injustice, he staged a hero to save the beauty, and then Black Pearl promised to marry him, is that right?"
Gumai gave a thumbs up: "You guessed it right, that's what happened."
"Is Black Pearl married now?"
"have no idea."
"You just said that she lives in Laosan Alley..."
"The old three alleys are over there in Nankai."
"have you been there?"
"I've been there before. I was young at that time and Cao Yunfei often took me into the city."
Shen Zhifeng pondered for a long time, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, and said: "Let's go, take me to get to know Black Pearl!"
"ah?"
"I don't know the way to Laosantiao Hutong."
"yes."
After coming out of the Pearl Lounge, two students wearing girls' high school uniforms walked past. Shen Zhifeng was stunned for a while, and then he walked towards his car.
On the way to Nankai, Shen Zhifeng drove the car attentively and said, "Gu Xiaomai, after you recover from your leg injury, where are you going?"
Gu Xiaomai said: "Chief Sun said, let me go to the security group..."
"What position?"
"I don't have any job, I'm just a soldier."
"What's the future? Just follow me."
"Fuck you?"
"What, you don't want to?"
Gu Xiaomai said quickly: "No, no... I mean, I don't know Chinese characters, what can I do if I enter the Secrecy Bureau?"
Shen Zhifeng smiled: "I'm not asking you to join the Secrecy Bureau, I'm asking you to be my informant."
"Informant?"
"Yes. The salary is definitely higher than that of a soldier, and there is also extra money. How about it? Why don't you think about it?"
"Really or not...you think so highly of me?"
"Of course it's true. Do I need to lie to you?"
"Then, what are you going to ask me to do?"
"Since Cao Yunfei is a nostalgic person, he might have a whim one day and go to the city to take a look at the Black Pearl. You have two tasks. One is to collect information about the Dagu detachment, and the other is to keep an eye on the Black Pearl."
"You want to arrest Cao Yunfei?"
"That's right!"
"This seems unlikely, right? Cao Yunfei and Black Pearl have never met since Political Commissar Bao came..."
"As long as there is a chance, we must give it a try. As long as we catch Cao Yunfei, we may be able to find out the underground organization of the Communist Party in Yanjin!"
Gu Xiaomai understood that Shen Zhifeng asked him to be an informant mainly to deal with Cao Yunfei.
Although he was skeptical about this matter, Gu Xiaomai knew very well that if he didn't agree to Shen Zhifeng, he would be able to earn a living in the army with these two brushes.
It's easy to get along during peacetime, but if a war breaks out in the future, it's hard to say whether you can survive the hail of bullets.
The car drove at a fast speed into Nankai District.
Gumai stretched his neck and looked out of the car window: "Turn left, yes, yes, yes, there is a bridge in front of you. After crossing the bridge, turn left and you will find Laosan Tiao Hutong."
Ten minutes later, the car slowly parked on the side of the road. Across the street was Laosan Tiao Hutong.
The weather is fine today, there is not even a breath of wind outside, and it is a public holiday. Children do not have to go to school, and they are playing in groups on the street.
Gu Xiaomai said: "Deputy Director Shen, when you enter the alley, the second door on the right is Black Pearl's home."
"What's her name?" Shen Zhifeng asked.
"have no idea."
"How old is Black Pearl?"
"In total...he's almost thirty years old."
"Is she a local?"
"No, they came from Henan. The National Army blew up Huayuankou that year..."
"Okay, I understand, you stay in the car."
Shen Zhifeng got out of the car, looked around, and walked into a nearby grocery store: "Boss, a pack of Hardman."
The boss took out a pack of Hardman cigarettes from the counter: "Eight thousand yuan."
Shen Zhifeng took out the money while talking: "Boss, let me ask you, is there a woman named Black Pearl living nearby?"
The boss thought for a while: "Black Pearl? I don't know him."
"Around thirty years old, originally from Henan, I used to make a living by singing ditties..."
"Oh, you're talking about Yue'e, right?"
"Where does Yue'e live?"
"It's in the Laosantiao alley opposite. I don't know which one specifically... Sir, who are you?"
"We are very good friends. We haven't seen each other for five or six years since we left Yanjin. When I came back this time, I came here specifically to see her. I don't know how she is doing now..." Shen Zhifeng wrote seriously. nonsense.
"It's not easy for orphans and widowers. I earn a few small bucks from doing odd jobs every day, which is enough to fill my stomach. If your friends need help, just help..." the boss said with a sigh.
Shen Zhifeng said in surprise: "She has a child?"
The boss leaned out and looked outside, pointed at a boy running around on the street, and said, "The boy in the gray cloth coat is Yue'e's child."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Shen Zhifeng is well-dressed and polite in his speech and behavior. The boss has no doubts about him and thinks he is Black Pearl's former lover.
Back in the car, Shen Zhifeng thought for a long time, and an idea slowly emerged in his mind. If everything went well, it would not be difficult to catch Cao Yunfei.
He took out a few large bills and said to Gumai: "Go see Black Pearl later and tell her this..."
Ten minutes later, Gumai got out of the car, crossed the road with a cane, and walked towards Laosan Tiao Hutong.
