Two cars parked in front of the Baekjetang Pharmacy one after the other. There was a piece of red paper taped to the door of the pharmacy, with two big characters written on it: "Closed!"
The back door of the first car opened, and Jiang Xinyu got out of the car. Zhao Yuhu, who was in the car behind, quickly got out of the car and said, "Captain, please slow down."
Jiang Xinyu waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to support him, and said, "Stay outside and cheer up!"
"Yes." Zhao Yuhu waved, and four agents from the detective team got out of the car behind him, patrolling the surroundings with eager eyes.
Since Jiang Xinyu was injured, the security level has also been increased, mainly to prevent another assassination by the Soviets. Especially before he recovered from his injury, at least four or five guards were required to come in and out.
Jiang Xinyu pushed the door open and walked into the drugstore. Qian Zhixin had his back to him and was packing his luggage. He usually lived in the store.
"The pharmacy is closed. Let's go get medicine from another store." Qian Zhixin said without looking back. In the past two days, many regular customers came to the door, but he sent them away.
Jiang Xinyu walked over and said, "What, are you leaving?"
Qian Zhixin looked back, bowed quickly and said, "Mr. Jiang...oh, no, Captain Jiang, it's you."
"Who else is in your uncle's family?" Jiang Xinyu looked around with his hands behind his back.
"My aunt is working at home, farming, and has a teenage daughter. There is no one else."
"Write down your aunt's name and address and give it to me. Major Hattori is very grateful to Boss Qian for saving Mina, and specially prepared a sum of money, which can be regarded as settlement expenses."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Qian Zhixin turned around to find paper and pen.
The shelves and medicine cabinets are all empty. In the past few days, Qian Zhixin has transferred all the stocks to other pharmacies at low prices, and then used the money to make up for the rent arrears. Apart from being able to fill prescriptions for medicine, he can't do anything at all.
It cannot support a pharmacy.
There was a lease document signed by the landlord on the counter. Jiang Xinyu flipped through it and found that according to the agreement between the two parties, the rent was to be paid annually. In fact, there was still more than one month's payment.
"Captain Jiang, here you go." Qian Zhixin handed Jiang Xinyu a piece of letterhead.
Jiang Xinyu took it, took a look at it, put it into his pocket, and said, "What are your plans for the future?"
Qian Zhixin smiled bitterly and said, "I can just go home and farm. I don't know how to do anything else."
"Leaving today?"
"Yes. I have bought the ferry tickets."
Jiang Xinyu opened his briefcase, took out a thick stack of banknotes, and said, "This money is enough for you to go home and start a small business, if you don't like farming."
Qian Zhixin waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Captain Jiang, this is impossible. How can I ask for your money?"
Jiang Xinyu sighed and said, "You also know that the person your uncle saved is my fiancée. It is reasonable for me to spend some money. If he is here, I can't let you go back empty-handed."
"Then...thank you." Qian Zhixin took the money and bowed deeply.
Jiang Xinyu pointed to the lease document on the counter and said, "The rent isn't due yet, right?"
"Expires at the end of December."
"Well, I don't have to pay for the house for the time being. A friend of mine wants to do some business. One day I will bring him over to have a look at the house. If it works, I will save a month's rent."
"Captain Jiang, if nothing happens, I'll leave now." Qian Zhixin took out the door key and put it on the counter. He was originally going to return it to the landlord on the way.
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Watching Qian Zhixin carry his suitcase and walk out of the pharmacy, Jiang Xinyu immediately walked quickly into the inner room and went straight to Qian Runmin's bedroom.
If Qian Runmin had something secret, it would most likely be hidden in his own room. If it were placed somewhere else, it would be inconvenient to have Qian Zhixin there.
In fact, there was no need to bother guessing. Jiang Xinyu also knew that what Qian Runmin was going to hand over to him must be a transmitter!
The enemy has extremely strict inspections on this kind of thing. It is not easy to take a radio station through various levels of inspections. A slight mistake may reveal its flaws!
There was a landscape painting hanging in the cabinet containing the quilts. Jiang Xinyu reached out and knocked on it, and there was a hollow sound inside.
He groped around and found a groove and pushed hard. The landscape painting slowly moved away, revealing a hidden compartment with a locked black suitcase inside.
Just looking at the size of the suitcase, there is a perfect transmitter inside!
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while, restored the secret door to its original position, walked to the door of the pharmacy, waved and said, "Zhao Yuhu, come in!"
Zhao Yuhu trotted over and said, "Captain, what are your orders?"
"I remember you said that one of your relatives wants to rent a house and start a small business. Is this possible?"
"Captain, you have a really good memory. I just mentioned it casually, but you still remember it."
"In our line of work, you can't do well if you don't have a good memory." Jiang Xinyu took out a cigarette, and Zhao Yuhu hurriedly came over and lit the fire.
"What do you think of this house?"
"How do I understand this..."
"Let's do it this way. One day you can ask your relatives to come and take a look. If they like it, you can just start it and save a month's rent."
"Okay. I'll bring him over in two days to have a look. If it works, I'll ask him to buy more good cigarettes and wine to honor you."
Jiang Xinyu patted Zhao Yuhu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You are getting more and more sensible!"
"This is all because of your good teaching!" Zhao Yuhu said with a smile on his face.
After locking the door, Jiang Xinyu got into the car, and the two cars sped away in the direction of the Army Hospital.
Back in the ward, Hattori Mina was waiting anxiously when she saw Jiang Xinyu walking in and complained, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you just walked around without telling me."
Jiang Xinyu took out the address written by Qian Zhixin from his pocket and said, "This is the address of Qian Runmin's home."
"Is the address accurate?"
"It should be no problem, it was written by his nephew Zhixin."
"Okay, I'll ask my brother to send the money this afternoon."
Jiang Xinyu slowly lay on the bed and walked for most of the day. The wound was also aching slightly. After all, it had only been a week and the wound had not completely healed.
He has the key in his hand now. It is not difficult to take the suitcase out of the pharmacy. It just needs to be carefully considered where to hide it!
It would definitely not work in her own home. Mei Nei often comes to help Jiang Xinyu clean up the house. Once she finds out, it will be a troublesome matter...
As soon as the door rang, Hattori Mina walked in with a cheerful face. Jiang Xinyu quickly sat up and said, "Major."
"Brother." Hattori Mina picked up an orange and handed it over.
It can be seen that Hattori Hikoo was in a very good mood today, and he actually reached out and took the orange. He would definitely not have done this in normal times.
"I just went to the headquarters for a meeting. I passed by the hospital and came up to see how it was. Is the injury better?" Hattori Hikoo sat on a chair moved by his sister.
Hattori Mina sat beside the bed and said, "I guess the front line must have won the battle, so my brother is so happy!"
Hattori Hikoo shook his head helplessly and said, "Let me guess what food was cooked at home. You also have to guess where you bought the new clothes. Mina, if you ask me, your mental age is at most ten years old!"
Hattori Mina "This is one of the joys of life! Shinyu, am I right?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "Guess whether I agree with your statement."
"You..." Hattori Mina sneered and punched Jiang Xinyu lightly.
Hattori Hikoo coughed and said, "There is indeed good news today, Captain Jiang, you will definitely be very interested!"
Jiang Xinyu: "Oh? What's the good news?"
Hattori Hikoo peeled the orange in his hand and said, "Do you remember Lao Qiu?"
Jiang Xinyu was shocked, but his face remained calm as he said, "Of course. I remember you also said that Lao Qiu is a strange cat with nine lives!"
Hattori Hikoo peeled the orange, and Hattori Mina reached out to take it, just like a child taking food from his father's hand as naturally as a child.
Hattori Hikoo put the orange peel on the table, clapped his hands and stood up, saying, "Yes, Lao Qiu is indeed very lucky, but this time his good luck has run out!"
——The Japanese army launched a surprise raid in the central Hebei region. The vanguard troops, led by traitors, attacked the Eighth Route Army organs and logistics stations. Only a special agent company was responsible for the security mission!
In order to cover the timely transfer of the agency, Xu Haichuan took the initiative to stay with the special agent company to stop the Japanese army. During the fierce battle, he was unfortunately hit by a howitzer and died heroically on the spot!
When cleaning the battlefield, after careful identification of the traitor and the remaining documents on his body, it was finally confirmed that the deceased was Lao Qiu - Xu Haichuan!
