"It's normal if you don't believe me..." Wang Xinrui stood up and said: "Chief Yang, to be honest, I have always admired the Communist Party. When I was in school, I also participated in the Anti-Japanese War demonstrations organized by them.
"
Yang Shuo said seriously: "Miss Wang, your remarks are very dangerous. When you said these words to me today, aren't you afraid that I will report you?"
Wang Xinrui smiled: "You can't."
"You are wrong, I will."
"Where's the evidence?"
"..."
"Okay, let me make it official. From beginning to end, I was joking with you. I hope you don't mind."
"joke?"
"Yes, how about it? My way of saying goodbye is very special, right?"
Yang Shuo smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Wang, it's better not to make jokes like this in the future, as it can easily cause misunderstandings."
Wang Xinrui picked up the suitcase and said with a smile: "Will I have a chance to joke with you again in the future?"
"ah?"
"I mean, will you do a lift?"
"It seems like your joke isn't over yet."
Wang Xinrui smiled brightly: "Goodbye, Section Chief Yang, I hope to see you in Tiwan in the future - if you are not a Communist Party member."
Yang Shuo pretended to be helpless and shook his head.
Before Wang Xinrui left, he glanced at the ashtray on the coffee table. There were several Lucky Strike brand cigar butts in it.
Lucky strike is an American cigar brand, which translates into Chinese as "lucky discovery". This kind of cigarette is specially supplied to the US military and is very popular among soldiers because of its special taste.
Wu Jingrong also likes to smoke cigars. Wang Xinrui is very familiar with this kind of cigarette. People who can afford to smoke cigars are either rich or expensive. Ordinary people cannot buy Lucky Strike brand cigars.
There is no evidence to accuse the telecommunications section chief of being a Communist Party based only on speculation. As Yang Shuo said, that is really ridiculous.
Wang Xinrui's theoretical analysis is based on the premise that Yang Shuo is indeed a member of the Communist Party, otherwise everything is empty talk.
She is actually making a last-ditch effort, hoping to find out who is the mole hiding in Yanjin Station.
She returned to the station to get a mini tape recorder. She planned to use the tape recorder to record evidence, but unexpectedly she still found nothing.
…………
One hour later.
Canal North Street.
In Wu Jingrong's home, the living room, bedroom and storage room were all in a mess, and it looked like they were about to move.
"Aunt, I'm back." Wang Xinrui opened the door and walked in.
Mrs. Wu asked with concern: "Xinrui, have you eaten?"
Wang Xinrui said: "Not yet?"
Mrs. Wu turned to the servant and ordered: "Mother Liu, go to Yanmingchun and buy some food. Xinrui likes to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, oh, and stir-fried three delicacies..."
Wang Xinrui asked: "Aunt, isn't there any cooking at home?"
Mrs. Wu said: "Your uncle just called home in the afternoon and said he would go to Liwan at noon tomorrow. He was busy packing his luggage and had no time to cook... Mother Liu, go quickly."
The servant carried a food box and hurried out.
Yanmingchun Restaurant is at the end of Yunhe North Street, only a ten-minute walk away.
Wang Xinrui said: "Aunt, please stop working so hard. My uncle asked me to tell you, don't bring too much luggage, just carry your belongings with you."
"Humph, he said it lightly. Why don't you just give up on so many good things? Look at this pair of vases, authentic Jing Kiln jade porcelain blue and white porcelain, you can't even buy it with money..."
Even though she said this, Mrs. Wu also knew in her heart that since Wu Jingrong had given instructions, she would definitely not let herself carry these bulky items.
About half an hour later, the servant bought the food back.
When Wang Xinrui was eating, Mrs. Wu sat beside him and said sadly: "Xinrui, eat more. This is also the last meal of Yanjin food. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to eat it again when I get to Tiwan."
…”
After a brief pause, Mrs. Wu said: "Oh, by the way, I heard that Miss Tong also went to Tiwan. Do you know about this?"
Wang Xinrui nodded: "Yes, I know. When Miss Tong left, I even went to see her off... The little girl from the Jiang family is very well-behaved. She calls me "aunty" when she sees me, which is really cute."
"Xinrui, no matter how much you like it, it's still someone else's child." Mrs. Wu said meaningfully.
"..."
"You are already old now, and your parents are not around anymore. I, as an aunt, can only worry about marriage. Xinrui, do you have someone you like?"
"Aunt, you're here again."
"Oh, by the way, the new Section Chief Yang at your station, considering all the conditions, I think he is a good match for you."
Wang Xinrui stopped her chopsticks and said helplessly: "Aunt, I have to go to Tiwan tomorrow. It doesn't matter if it's a good match or not."
"How is it impossible? Yang Shuo will definitely want to get married in the future. Then let your uncle try his style. Maybe it will be a happy marriage." Mrs. Wu said with joy.
Wang Xinrui sighed lightly and murmured: "Will he lift the bend? That's not necessarily true..."
…………
early morning.
Wang Xinrui got up early and went out to buy breakfast.
When passing by the door of Jiang's house, Wang Xinrui thought to herself that she didn't have to go to the station today, so she should say goodbye to Jiang Xinyu.
Thinking of this, she stepped to the courtyard door, stretched out her hand and tried to push it gently, and the ajar door opened in response.
The car was parked in the yard, and Jiang Xinyu got out from under the car with oily hands.
"Captain Jiang, what are you doing?"
"Oh, there's something wrong with the car... Miss Wang, is something wrong?"
"I'm going to Tiwan today, and I came here specifically to say goodbye to you."
"Going to lift the bend today?"
"Oh, yes, I was caught off guard and not mentally prepared at all..."
After letting Wang Xinrui into the living room, Jiang Xinyu said, "Ms. Wang, you can sit down wherever you like and I'll wash my hands."
Wang Xinrui agreed and slowly sat on the sofa.
In the ashtray on the coffee table, in addition to two Three Fortress cigarette butts, there was a lucky strike cigar butt, and a half pack of Three Fortress cigarettes was thrown next to it.
For a moment, Wang Xinrui was in a daze.
There is no doubt that the third fort belongs to Jiang Xinyu, but who does lucky strike belong to?
Someone who also enjoys smoking cigars?
Or does Jiang Xinyu occasionally smoke this brand?
Or... Yang Shuo?
If it was Yang Shuo, things would not seem that simple. How could two people who rarely interacted with each other suddenly come to each other's house as guests?
To put it simply, if Yang Shuo is indeed a communist, then does Jiang Xinyu's private meeting with him also mean that he is suspected of being a communist?
Even if she found clues, Wang Xinrui couldn't do anything.
The biggest problem is that there is still no evidence.
No one can conclude that the Operation Captain of the Secrecy Bureau has something to do with the Communist Party just based on a cigarette butt. What's more, whether Yang Shuo is a hidden member of the Communist Party is still just a question mark...
…………
Two months later.
evening.
Security Bureau Yanjin Station.
Webmaster's Office.
Qiao Mucai frowned and walked around the room with his hands behind his back.
“Tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Qiao Mu stopped.
As soon as the door rang, Jiang Xinyu opened the door and walked in: "Stationmaster, are you looking for me?"
"Pack up immediately and follow me to the airport."
"Where to go?"
"Director Mao just called and ordered us to go directly to Liwan."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I just got news that Chen Jieshan sent a representative out of the city to negotiate with the Communist army. Who knows what he is worried about. If he opens the city gate and surrenders, will we still be able to leave?"
"Commander Chen has made public statements many times, vowing to live and die with Yanjin and surrender... shouldn't he?"
Qiao Mucai sneered and said: "Xin Yu, don't be too naive. Fan Hanjie, Liao Yaoxiang, Wei Lihuang, Zheng Dongguo, who among them didn't make bold words before the war? What about after?"
As soon as the door of the room rang, Feng Qingshan pushed the door open excitedly, came to Qiao Mucai and said: "Stationmaster, according to the information I have, the Communist Party has a secret contact point near the Chenghuang Temple..."
Qiao Mu interrupted him: "I told you why I couldn't find you on the phone. Don't worry about the Communist Party. Come with us to the airport in half an hour."
Feng Qingshan was stunned: "Going to the airport?"
Qiao Mucai said: "Yes, the headquarters ordered that the three of us set off immediately to lift the bend."
Feng Qingshan looked at Jiang Xinyu, then at Qiao Muchai, and said, "Stationmaster, what will happen to the City God's Temple if I leave?"
Qiao Mucai sighed: "Hundreds of thousands of Communist troops are besieging the city. Those Communists hiding in the city have already started semi-open operations. Let's do it this way. Yang Shuo will be responsible for the aftermath of the station, and leave this matter to him.
Already."
Feng Qingshan hesitated: "But..."
Qiao Mucai said: "Have you heard the sound of cannons? Yanjin City is besieged on all sides. If we don't leave, it will be too late..."
Before leaving, Feng Qingshan handed an envelope to Yang Shuo and said: "This is a list of some members of the Communist Party in Yanjin. They meet secretly in the Physics Laboratory of Peiyang University every Saturday. If the time is right, they will
We can deploy manpower to arrest!"
Yang Shuo solemnly said: "Director Feng, don't worry, we will definitely not let them escape this time!"
…………
Accompanied by the huge roar of the aircraft engine, a US-made C-47 transport aircraft took off into the sky.
"Alas, now that I'm gone, I don't know when or what month I will be able to come back..." Feng Qingshan sighed.
Qiao Mucai said: "It will be impossible in a short time. Our future work focus will all shift to Libian. In addition, I will tell you some good news in advance. After Libian, the two of you will soon be promoted to the rank of major general."
Feng Qingshan looked happy. Although his future was uncertain, at least he got what he wanted and became a major general.
Looking at the night sky outside the porthole window, Jiang Xinyu remained silent for a long time.
In the dazzling galaxy, the Big Dipper, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang are eternally arranged.
We are still under the same sky, but we will continue to fight in a strange place in the future.
The future is such an unpredictable word. What will happen in the future? Only God knows the answer.
Qiao Mu glanced at him, smiled and said, "Xinyu, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled: "I was wondering what the expressions of Mina and the children would be like when they saw me suddenly appearing at the door of their house..."
