Next to Victory Park, there is a two-story duplex building that was formerly the Concession Hall and is now the location of the Yanjin Security Headquarters.
Recently, Jiang Xinyu has attended all general meetings of the Garrison Command on behalf of the Security Bureau.
Today is no exception. In the conference room of the headquarters, the Military Justice Department, the City Hall, the Security Bureau, and the Police Department all sent representatives to participate in this joint meeting.
The two-hour meeting ended quickly. Jiang Xinyu packed up the meeting documents and was the last one to come out. He came to the corridor window and leaned down to look downstairs.
When he came, he saw Tao Jianming's Willys Jeep parked under a locust tree not far away. It is still there.
This means that Tao Jianming is still in this building!
"Captain Jiang, why aren't you leaving?" The deputy chief of the police station came back and saw Jiang Xinyu was still there, so he asked casually.
Jiang Xinyu frowned and said, "Oh, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I have to go to the toilet."
"Then go quickly, do you know where the toilet is?"
"Know……"
The deputy director entered the conference room and left his document bag on the chair. He didn't remember it until he reached the first floor and hurried back to get it.
Jiang Xinyu carried his briefcase and document bag and walked quickly down the stairs. He had come to the security headquarters many times to do business, so of course he knew where the toilet was.
The corridor on the east side of the first floor goes all the way to the end, which is the men's restroom, and the women's restroom on the other side.
After entering the toilet, Jiang Xinyu opened the partition by the window, where he could see the entry and exit of people at the door of the building. He had no reason to stay at the headquarters, so he could only use this method.
Fortunately, the sanitary environment of the toilet is pretty good. Apart from the faint smell of disinfectant, there is no other smell. After all, it is a security headquarters and there are dedicated personnel responsible for cleaning.
About ten minutes later, Tao Jianming appeared at the door of the building, holding a document bag in his hand and talking to his orderly.
Without any delay, Jiang Xinyu reached out and pulled the toilet cord, came out of the toilet, and walked out quickly.
He pretended not to notice Tao Jianming and walked past him while looking at his watch.
"Captain Jiang, what a coincidence?" Tao Jianming greeted.
In public places, experienced officials know how to avoid suspicion and do not want outsiders to see that they are closely related, so they also use different titles.
Jiang Xinyu stopped and pretended to be surprised and said: "Deputy Commander Tao? How did you...oh, yes, yes, look at my memory!"
Tao Jianming made a gesture, and the two of them stayed away from the crowd, came to the big locust tree, and said, "Xinyu, why are you here?"
Jiang Xinyu patted the document bag and said, "Isn't this right? The Military Justice Department took the lead in convening a summary meeting on military ethics... The 94th Army has been making such a big fuss recently!"
"What's wrong?"
"Some junior officers ignored the ban and drank alcohol, fought, and even went to prostitutes in Yanjin City!"
"The prostitute...and the school official?"
"A battalion commander of the 253rd Regiment was arrested by the Military Justice Department in Rouge Alley yesterday!"
Tao Jianming shook his head, sighed softly, and said: "They say that the 94th Army is lawless. I really learned a lesson... If a school officer dares to go to that kind of place, is his brain damaged? His future is gone?"
The government has issued repeated orders that those holding positions above school officials are strictly prohibited from entering or leaving Fengyue places. If they are caught, the lightest punishment will be confinement for several days!
Jiang Xinyu glanced casually and saw that Tao Jianming's document bag was covered with two eye-catching red letters: Top Secret!
There is no doubt that if you want to know the special mission of the 4th Military Police Regiment to Yanjin, the answer lies in this document bag!
Jiang Xinyu glanced at his watch and said, "Are you going back to the station directly?"
"right."
"It's almost noon, let's have a quick lunch together?"
"Okay, but as promised, I'll pay the bill this time!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "If you say that, I will have to choose a better restaurant!"
"No problem! Just don't go too far." Tao Jianming carries top-secret documents with him and always has to be careful.
"There is a Victory Restaurant nearby. The environment is pretty good and the chefs are decent. How about it? Let's go there?"
"Sure, you have the final say!"
Jiang Xinyu drove first, followed by Tao Jianming's jeep, and drove out of the Garrison Headquarters compound one after the other.
It's not yet 11 o'clock at noon, it's still early for dinner, and the Victory Restaurant is deserted, with only two or three tables of customers.
Tao Jianming was wearing a military uniform, and the clerk greeted him enthusiastically, saying: "Two sirs, please come inside!"
Jiang Xinyu asked: "Is there a private room on the first floor?"
The waiter said: "Yes, yes, you two came early, you can sit wherever you want."
There are a total of six private rooms on the first floor, which are distributed in a semi-circular shape and are located around them. In the middle is a terrace of different sizes.
Tao Jianming casually opened the door of Private Room No. 1, looked inside, and said, "This is the room. It's bright and comfortable, and you can eat comfortably."
Private room No. 1 faces the street. As long as the curtains are not drawn, passers-by outside can clearly see what is going on in the private room.
Jiang Xinyu walked in and immediately discovered something was wrong. There were no curtains in the private room!
I originally planned to find an opportunity to peek at Tao Jianming's documents. In this way, every move I make will be in the open. If someone sees it, it will be a troublesome thing!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu said: "Man, give us another room."
"What's wrong? Isn't this room pretty good?" Tao Jianming said in confusion.
Jiang Xinyu pointed at the window and said: "There are no curtains. We are eating here, like an exhibition, for everyone to visit!"
The waiter explained, "I'm sorry, the curtains were washed and haven't been returned yet. The same goes for other private rooms by the window."
"No curtains?"
"Yes. We didn't hang the curtains today. It's just a coincidence that you two came..."
"Forget it, let's just get this room!" Tao Jianming didn't mind. He mainly liked the bright light in this room and the fact that it could open the window for ventilation.
Jiang Xinyu couldn't insist anymore. It was just that there were no curtains. Talking about such a trivial matter would arouse people's suspicion.
The waiter asked: "Sir, would you like to order now?"
Tao Jianming put the document bag at hand and said, "Man, what are your specialty dishes here?"
The waiter said: "There are so many, such as squid carp, jar meat, laobaosan, braised fish slices, Bazhen tofu, purple crab with sour sand, and..."
Tao Jianming stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Stop it! I understand, too. There is nothing special about your restaurant! Xinyu, am I right?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "What do you mean, take advantage of the idle time on the stove and order the food quickly. If it's time to eat, the food will be served very slowly!"
"What do you want to eat?"
"The guest does as the host does, as he pleases."
Tao Jianming thought for a while and said to the waiter: "Sengbeng carp, Laobaosan, Bazhen tofu, and another clam seafood soup! That's it. Let's speed up the stove, we are in a hurry!"
