Yu Zeshui grinned and said, "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about..."
Sun Feng bent down and picked up a cigarette butt from the ground, looked at it carefully, and said to Ma Keming: "The cigarette butt is very new, someone came here just now!"
Ma Keming was refreshed. They came all the way without meeting anyone. Since someone came to Yue Zeshui's house, where did this person go?
"Whose cigarette butt belongs to you?" Sun Feng held up the cigarette butt and said to Zhishui.
Yu Zeshui: "Mine."
Sun Feng sneered and said: "The lies are not well made up. How could a person who smokes dry pipe suddenly start smoking this kind of cigarette!"
Yu Zeshui defended: "When I went to Xinjiadian to sell goods during the day, someone gave it to me..."
Ma Keming waved his hand and said: "Search! This person is probably hiding in the house!"
We searched under the bed, in piles of firewood, in water tanks, under the stove, and any place where someone could hide.
The house is so big, if there is someone hiding in the house, they will definitely be found.
Sun Feng said: "Let's just set a fire and burn that person out!"
Ma Keming shook his head and said: "Set fire to the house, that is what the bandits did. What's more, the deputy station chief specially asked not to alarm other people."
"What should we do?"
"Leave two people to guard here. Even if someone is hiding, I don't believe it. How long can a person go without eating or drinking?"
"This is a good idea!"
An agent said to himself: "If this kind of wooden house is lit, it will definitely burn quickly!"
When Sun Feng heard this, his heart moved. He held up a flashlight and looked at the roof of the shed, and soon discovered something suspicious.
The roof of the shed is covered with wooden boards. There is a not so obvious gap near the bed. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.
Sun Feng ordered: "Come, go up and have a look!"
One agent squatted on the bed, the other stepped on his shoulder, and then slowly stood up.
The man above reached out and pushed a few times, moving two wooden boards away, just enough for one person to get in.
He shined a flashlight inside, then jumped up and climbed in slowly.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound on the roof. It was the sound of someone stepping on tiles.
Ma Keming shouted: "Someone is on the roof!"
He took out his pistol and rushed out first, followed closely by the others.
Several flashlights shone on the roof, and Luo Yongqing, who had a sooty face, had no choice but to come down obediently.
There was a secret door on the roof that led directly to the flue. Even if Ma Keming had left someone behind, Luo Yongqing would have had the opportunity to escape quietly while the agent was sleeping.

Zhongyuan Department Store is located on General Foch Road. It is a magnificent seven-story building and the highest-floor department store in Yanjin.
During the Anti-Japanese War, a fire broke out in the Zhongyuan Department Store, causing heavy losses. Coupled with the Japanese extortion from time to time, the store never recovered.
This time we are reopening for business, striving to regain the reputation of Yanjin No. 1 Department Store.
By introducing the business philosophy of Shanghai Xianshi Department Store, Zhongyuan Department Store not only took the lead in adopting the novel business method of "goods at the same price", but also set up the first vertical elevator in Yanjin.
The first to third floors are department stores, the fourth floor is an amusement park, the fifth floor is a grand theater, the sixth floor is a high-end restaurant and restaurant, and the seventh floor is an open-air Western-style cafe.
Ever since he entered the department store, Tong Tong was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything he saw was new and he was full of praise for everything he saw.
After shopping for more than an hour, Tong Tong put his hands on his hips and said, "I'm tired!"
Jiang Xinyu glanced at his watch and said, "Go back when you are tired."
Tong Tong rolled his eyes and said, "I don't! The clerk just said that there is an outdoor cafe on the seventh floor. Let's go see it and have a cup of coffee and take a rest!"
Jiang Xinyu thought about it, and since they were all out, he simply walked around with her and said, "It's almost eight o'clock now. Which floor do you want to go shopping on? You'd better hurry up."
Tong Tong walked to the elevator, turned around and said, "How can it be possible to visit such a big department store in one go? Let's come back in a few days!"
"There have been more and more things going on at the station recently, so you'd better find someone else to accompany you."
"Who am I looking for? I already know you Yanjin!"
"Small buttons are also fine, or you can ask the Wang brothers, they will be happy to accompany you."
"Er Bao is busy with business matters, and Brother Wang has a girlfriend, so he doesn't have time to spend with me."
"Wang Xuelin has a girlfriend?"
"You know him, I thought you knew him."
"Who do I know?"
"It's that Wang Xinrui!"
"how do you know?"
"A while ago, Wang Xinrui always called Brother Wang. Hey, please help me find a school, thank you." Tong Tong exaggeratedly imitated Wang Xinrui's Mandarin with a slight Cantonese accent.
Jiang Xinyu said calmly: "You can become boyfriend and girlfriend after just a few phone calls? Your thinking is too old-fashioned."
"Definitely is!"
"They're unlikely."
"Why?"
"...The personalities are too similar, which can sometimes be a hindrance."
Jiang Xinyu guessed in his heart that Wang Xuelin and Wang Xinrui were just acting on occasion. How could an underground party fall in love with someone from the military command?
Tong Tong glanced at Jiang Xinyu and said, "Then... our personalities seem to be different, right?"
"almost."
"What does almost mean?"
Jiang Xinyu said perfunctorily: "It's about the same meaning."
While they were talking, the elevator door opened and the two of them stepped in.
As soon as the bell rang, the elevator went up quickly.
This kind of elevator is very noisy. Tong Tong slowly approached Jiang Xinyu and said, "Tell me, will the elevator fall?"
"No." Jiang Xinyu hid back.
Tong Tong didn't notice it and followed him step by step. He grabbed Jiang Xinyu's hand tightly and said, "If I fall, you have to pull me up."
A woman next to her couldn't help laughing and said: "Miss, if the elevator falls, we will all fall with it. Who can pull you up?"
Jiang Xinyu also smiled and said: "Tongtong, you said something stupid."
Tong Tong's face turned bright red and he whispered: "I just think you can protect me..."
Jiang Xinyu couldn't answer this sentence, so he had to change the subject and said: "Don't worry, this elevator is made in England, the quality is very good, and there has never been any problem."
The elevator stopped at the seventh floor. Tong Tong pulled Jiang Xinyu out quickly, stroking his chest and said, "I can't do it anymore. I would rather climb the stairs than take the elevator again. It's too scary!"
"Sir, buy a rose for the lady. It's very cheap." A girl's voice behind her said.
There are such flower girls everywhere. When they see a man or woman who is in love or a couple, they will spare no effort to sell flowers.
Jiang Xinyu was about to leave, but Tong Tong held him tight and said, "I want a rose."
Jiang Xinyu shook his head helplessly, turned around and said: "Rose represents love, so your husband should buy it..."
"Mr. Jiang?" The flower girl Xiaolan looked at Jiang Xinyu in surprise.
