At this time, night had fallen, and gun battles were heard in the alleys, and every house was closed.
The food stall owner squatted on the ground, shivering.
Wang Xinrui sneered and said: "Pretending to be... I ask you, how many people are there in the Communist Party? Is Chen Lizhi in it?"
The boss said in a trembling voice: "You, what did you say?"
"I said, you are actually a member of the Communist Party, so you should be responsible for informing the public, right?"
"I don't understand what you are saying..."
"Douzhier, wontons, and hot pancakes are meant to tell people inside that someone is about to go in and to get them ready. White-flour steamed buns and large flower rolls have exactly the opposite meaning. Am I right?"
“…”
"The reason why the Communist Party was not found the first time was because you used a code word to tip off the people in the house and hid in advance. As for where they were hiding, it will be clear soon. The second time, a gun was pointed at you.
If you use code words again, it will be too obvious, and you can only hope that the people inside have not come out yet. Unfortunately, Chen Lizhi was seriously injured and has difficulty moving, so they did not have time to hide this time."
The boss did not refute, lowered his head and remained silent.
Ma Keming on the side gave a thumbs up and praised: "Ms. Wang, you really have a piercing eye, you are so powerful!"
Wang Xinrui smiled slightly: "Actually, it's nothing. The main reason is that he showed his flaws... Team Leader Ma, have you noticed? This is the most suitable place to set up a guard post. If there is any trouble, this boss will be able to detect it immediately.
He had just enough time to spread the news to the people in the alley."
Ma Keming looked around and found that, as Wang Xinrui said, Xijiekou was connected in all directions and was indeed the most suitable place to place a warning post.
Wang Xinrui continued: "Of course, it could also be a coincidence. After all, you must choose a good location to do business. However, when the action team was searching nearby, this guy was shouting about hot pancakes with soy sauce and wontons. When the action team left, his voice changed.
It turned into a white-flour steamed bun with a big flower roll. So, I thought, there must be something wrong in the alley..."
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Three shots were fired in the alley.
According to Feng Qingshan's order, the spies did not attack by force, but adopted delaying tactics. The longer it takes, the more detrimental it will be to the underground party.
Judging from the current situation, the Secrecy Bureau has firmly controlled the situation, and the underground party hiding in the house has no chance to escape.
Wang Xinrui felt very proud that she had single-handedly turned the whole thing around. This was definitely something that would attract the limelight.
There are at least three or four Communists in the room. If these people are finally captured, his future in the Secret Bureau will be bright, and promotion and awards will naturally come naturally.
The boss looked depressed and sat aside, seemingly showing no intention of resisting.
Ma Keming searched his body and checked the stall again, but did not find any weapons.
Listening to the occasional gunshots coming from the alley, Feng Qingshan felt very comfortable and said with a smile: "The original intention was to use Chen Lizhi to lure the Communists into taking the bait. It seems that this move was the right one..."
"boom!"
An earth-shaking loud noise.
An explosion suddenly occurred in the alley, with smoke billowing and flames rising into the sky. One agent was killed on the spot, and more than a dozen others were injured.
The fire was raging, igniting neighboring houses and causing chaos all around.
The boss who was squatting on the ground jumped up, grabbed a bench and threw it at Ma Keming. He pushed Wang Xinrui away and ran towards the end of the street like flying.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for him to succeed. There had just been an explosion and everyone's attention was drawn to it, which gave him a chance to escape.
Ma Keming reacted quickly, pointed the gun at the boss and pulled the trigger continuously.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The boss dodged left and right in an "S" shape, bullets whizzing past him. Relying on his familiarity with the nearby terrain, he quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Ma Keming wanted to lead people to chase him, but Feng Qingshan shouted to stop him: "Don't worry about him, quickly rearrange the manpower and surround the surrounding area!"
Rearranging manpower inevitably delayed a few minutes.
The explosion ignited a fire, and residents in the alley ran out one after another. Children cried and women screamed, and it became a mess.
Twenty minutes later, the water dragon team arrived at the scene and worked for more than an hour before finally extinguishing the fire.
The Army Hospital was notified and medical personnel were sent to waste no time in treating the injured agents.
The last courtyard in the alley was the hiding place of the underground party. Chen Lizhi's body was bloody and bloody from the explosion, and there was a bomb pull ring between his fingers.
The situation at the scene is easy to understand. Chen Lizhi was seriously injured. He knew that he could not escape, so he detonated a bomb to cover his companions' escape.
As for where the Communist Party was hiding during the first search by the action team, we now have the answer.
A wall with one person's width was built between the utility room and the kitchen. One person was left to deal with it outside, while the others helped Chen Lizhi hide inside the wall.
During the second search, the food stall owner failed to deliver the message in time, and they had no time to enter the double wall, so they had no choice but to get into trouble with the agents.
After confirming that the danger was eliminated, Feng Qingshan stepped into the alley. He looked at the broken walls and ruins around him and murmured: "I didn't expect them to have grenades..."
Sun Jie came to Chen Lizhi's body, reached out and took off the ring, held it in front of his eyes for a while and said, "Captain, it seems to be an American M1."
Under the flashlight light, Jiang Xinyu took the ring and looked at it, and said: "Yes, it is indeed an American M1 grenade... Mazi, immediately notify the police station, seal off the entire area, set up checkpoints at nearby intersections, and strictly investigate all suspicious
molecular!"
"Yes!" Ma Keming hurried out of the alley.
The security group also dispatched a company of troops to cooperate with the police station in conducting searches in the eastern suburbs. They continued until daylight, but still found nothing.
…………
One week later.
Security Bureau Yanjin Station.
Webmaster's Office.
Feng Qingshan said: "Webmaster, the matter has been basically investigated. The house in the eastern suburbs was rented by a man named Ma Liang half a year ago. It is probably a stronghold used by the Communist Party to hide..."
Qiao Mucai said nothing, sitting behind his desk and flipping through the documents in his hand. This was Chen Lizhi's autopsy report.
Feng Qingshan continued: "In addition, Li Chen, the medical officer of the Military Police Brigade, just called and asked if he could bury Chen Lizhi... Stationmaster, I heard that Li Chen and Chen Lizhi are very close. Do you want to send someone to check it out?
…”
"No need, if Li Chen really had something to do with the Communist Party, he wouldn't come forward to do such a thing... Huh?" Qiao Mucai frowned.
"Webmaster, what's wrong?" Feng Qingshan asked.
Qiao Mu handed over the document: "Look at this."
Feng Qingshan took it over and looked at it for a while. The cause of Chen Lizhi's death was clearly described. The fatal injury was caused by a grenade exploding at close range, causing multiple shrapnel injuries.
That means that after Chen Lizhi pulled the safety tab of the grenade, he did not throw the bomb.
Qiao Mucai said slowly: "The M1 grenade has a five-second delay. He had time to throw the grenade at the door and cause more damage to our people, but why didn't he do that?"
Feng Qingshan's heart moved. This kind of suicidal behavior does not seem reasonable...
Qiao Mu pondered for a moment, then reached for the phone and dialed a few numbers: "Hey, Captain Jiang, come to my office right away... Oh, by the way, call Wang Xinrui."
