The cigarette dealer came out of the bedroom with his head in the air, and happened to come face to face with Cui Li.
"You scared me!" The cigarette dealer looked out the door nervously.
Cui Li pretended to be concerned and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay...Old Cui, why are you here?" the tobacco dealer said in surprise.
Cui Li: "I was worried when I heard the commotion in your house, so I came over to see what was going on..."
The cigarette dealer put down the suitcase in his hand, patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "Thank you for your concern!"
Shunzi couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't the police find you just now?"
The cigarette dealer chuckled and said, "In our line of business, if we don't have any means, then we won't let the police catch us!"
Cui Li: "Are you hiding under the bed?"
The only places where people can hide in the bedroom are under the bed and the big wardrobe. There is no way that the big wardrobe could be covered in dust.
The cigarette dealer nodded and said: "Finally I got through it!"
Shunzi knelt down and lifted the bed cover, looked inside, and said, "These police are really stupid. They don't even know how to search under the bed?"
The tobacco dealer smiled and said: "Of course they searched, but they couldn't see me!"
"What's going on?"
"You'll know when you get in and take a look."
Shunzi couldn't help but be curious, so he leaned over and got in. After a while, he walked in from the door.
——The reason is actually very simple. The two bedrooms are next to each other, separated by a wall. The beds are placed against the wall. A hole is made in the wall under the bed, and a secret door is installed.
When the police entered this bedroom to search, the cigarette dealer got under the bed in the next bedroom, and vice versa, just like a child playing hide and seek.
To put it bluntly, this method is a stroke of luck. If both bedrooms are searched at the same time, or if the police are given a little more time, the cigarette dealer will still be unable to escape!
The cigarette dealer took out a roll of banknotes from the vase and stuffed it into his arms. He said, "The police are targeting me. I have to go out and hide for a few days!"
Cui Li: "They may still be nearby, how do you get out?"
"The mountain man has his own clever plan!" The cigarette dealer opened the suitcase. In addition to a pack of cigarettes, there were two glass bottles, a fake beard and braces.
Cui Li knew that these were all used by secret agents to make up.
Cui Li did not dare to hide such things in his home because he was worried about being found out by the spies. It was more taboo than contraband. Anyone with a discerning eye would know what you were doing at a glance.
The cigarette dealer unscrewed the cap of the bottle, poured out some light yellow oil, smeared it on his face in front of the mirror, and said: "Old Cui, you don't know, I met a noble person today. Not only did the goods I gave him be cheap, but he also gave me free gifts."
These things of mine..."
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, he felt his eyes go dark, and before he could figure out what was going on, he fainted and fell to the ground.
Cui Li put down the vase in his hand and immediately started to put on makeup. As long as his image changed, he could completely hide from the spy's surveillance!
He knew very well that everything that happened here, including calling to report the cigarette dealer, must have been done by the person who stuffed the paper ball into him!
After putting on makeup, Cui Li found two sets of clothes from the closet, threw one set to Shunzi, and put on another set himself.
Shunzi brought a bird cage and said, "Brother Cui, if you hold this, no one will be able to recognize you!"
Cui Li was wearing a khaki mandarin jacket, a melon-skin hat, round glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a birdcage. He looked a bit like an old man from the Qing Dynasty.
Before Shunzi could put makeup on, she suddenly heard a knock on the door of Cui Li's courtyard. A man said loudly: "Open the door, we'll collect the health fee!"
"It's a spy! He's probably here to check the situation." Cui Li easily made a judgment. If he really wanted to collect health fees, why did he have to go past the cigarette dealer's house?
Shunzi thought for a moment and said: "Brother Cui, you go first, I will hold him back!"
Without waiting for Cui Li's consent, Shunzi quickly came to the courtyard, climbed back from the courtyard wall again, and said repeatedly: "Come on, come on, wait a minute..."
If no one answers for a long time, the agents will definitely become suspicious, and no matter how subtle the make-up is, they will not be able to leave!
Cui Li walked out of the courtyard gate, holding up the bird cage, and walked toward the alley with square steps. The spy who came to inquire about the situation glanced at him and didn't pay much attention.
On the street, Cui Li came to a coachman who often waited for work nearby and said, "Go to Yanjin Park!"
"Hey, are you going to walk the birds?" The coachman wiped the car seat with a towel and spoke enthusiastically.
"Please hurry up. I have an appointment with some old friends. It's not good to be late." Cui Li urged as he got in the car.
"To tell you the truth, I'm famous for being fast at pulling carts. You can do it too quickly if you don't mind!"
"No problem."
"Okay, just take a look!"
The driver pulled the car, accelerated the speed, and within a few minutes left the spy's surveillance range.
"boom!"
There was a gunshot in the alley!
Ma Peiqu, who was sitting in the car with his eyes closed and concentrating, was startled and said: "What's going on? Where was the gunshot?"
The agent in the car checked the location and said, "It seems to be Cui Li's house..."
Ma Peiqu pushed the door open and got out of the car, striding towards the alley. He knew very well that even if the fisherman was nearby, he would not go to join him when he heard the gunshot!
Several agents followed closely behind, but before they could reach Cui Li's door, the agent pretending to collect health fees came out in a panic, holding a pistol in his hand.
Ma Peiqu: "What's wrong?"
Agent: "Team Leader Ma, what's wrong, Cui Li is missing!"
"Gone? Who shot just now?"
"I fired the gun..."
Entering the yard, they saw Shunzi lying on his back at the door, with a kitchen knife still clutched in his hand. He had been shot in the chest, blood had soaked through his clothes, and his eyes were wide open.
"This guy wants to kill me..." the agent explained at the side.
Ma Peiqu: "How did Cui Li escape?"
"I don't know. I didn't see him when I came in."
"Arrest Han Laoshi and Li Bing immediately!"
"yes!"
Another agent said: "Team Leader Ma, didn't you say that if you arrest them, you will alert them..."
"Once a gunshot is fired here, the whole thing can't continue. Besides, Cui Li escapes, and the plan to trap other Communists will be ruined!" Ma Peiqu said rather annoyed.
I originally thought that if I caught the fisherman, Hattori Hikoo would look at me differently, but Ma Peiqu, who was just the leader of the intelligence team of the detective team, didn't take him seriously at all. At the very least, he should be promoted to a higher rank!
The so-called snake swallows the elephant because it is greedy. It is because he wanted to catch the fisherman so much that Cui Li took advantage of it, pretended to surrender and then waited for an opportunity to escape!
Now it seems that the story about the fisherman coming to join and the story about Li Erhu were all fabricated by Cui Li and have no credibility at all!
