Returning to his seat, Tong Tong asked: "How was it? Have you found that person?"
Jiang Xinyu shook his head, thinking about what his recent words and deeds were that aroused suspicion...
Tong Tong held his chin, thought hard for a while, and said, "It must be someone sent by Shen Zhifeng!"
"How do you know?" Jiang Xinyu said.
"intuition!"
"..."
"What do you think?"
"possible."
"Xinyu, let me ask you something."
"What?"
"Do you think the marriage between Brother Wang and Wang Xinrui is true?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled, took a sip of coffee, and said: "I don't think it's my turn to do this kind of thing. As long as you and I are willing, we can get married if we want. Didn't you hear? I have met my parents, and they will soon get married."
What a happy event."
"That's right. Brother Wang is so kind to Wang Xinrui. He even quit smoking because he was worried that she would choke..."
Having said that, Tong Tong still couldn't figure it out, how could a Communist Party lurker be willing to marry a female spy from the Secret Bureau?
Jiang Xinyu's eyes flashed and he said, "You mean, Wang Xuelin quit smoking because of Wang Xinrui?"
"Yes."
"how do you know?"
"Aunt Wang said it herself..."
"Tongtong, you haven't told Wang Xuelin about me, have you?"
"No, don't worry, even my father doesn't know, let alone Brother Wang."
"That's good."
Tong Tong looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you a secret!"
"What secret?"
"Actually, Brother Wang is also a Communist! So, even if he knows your identity, it's not a big deal."
"That won't work either! If one more person knows, there will be more risks!"
"You don't believe Brother Wang?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's discipline! Besides, be prepared for danger in times of peace. No one can predict tomorrow..."
"Yes, no one can predict tomorrow... Alas, Xinyu, I have to leave."
Jiang Xinyu stood up, reached for his coat, and said, "It's getting late, I'll give it to you."
Tong Tong rolled his eyes at him and said, "I mean, I'm going back to Chongqing!"
"You have something to tell me, and this is it?" Jiang Xinyu sat down again.
Tong Tong nodded and said quietly: "I'm back to Chongqing. Are you very happy?"
"how could be."
"Aren't you happy that no one is bothering you anymore?"
Jiang Xinyu couldn't answer directly, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "You live well in Yanjin, why do you want to leave suddenly?"
Tong Tong held his chin in one hand and poked at the complimentary dessert with a fork in the other, and said, "My dad said that I didn't go back during the Spring Festival last year and the house wasn't lively... I have to go back this year."
"Then when do you plan to leave?"
"Just these few days."
Jiang Xinyu picked up the coffee and said, "I'll take coffee instead of wine. I wish you a safe journey!"
Remembering that Wang Xinrui had put herself in a difficult situation just now by using tea instead of wine, Tong Tong couldn't help but smile and said: "You can't use coffee instead of wine. Before you leave, you have to treat me to a big meal. I want to get drunk."
Just rest!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "I can't satisfy your request, but I can ask Mei Nai to treat you to a big meal."
"And you?"
"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow and won't be back soon."
"Where are you going on a business trip?"
"Beiping."
"Only you?"
"Yes, it's just me."
Tong Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Xinyu, you are going on a business trip, can you take me with you?"
"How can that be done? I'm going to do some business."
"You go about your business and I won't influence you. Besides, I haven't been to Peking yet."
"Aren't you going back to Chongqing?"
"What's wrong with leaving a few days late? Or you can go directly from Peiping."
Jiang Xinyu thought about it, but still felt it was inappropriate, and said: "That won't work. This is not an ordinary official business. I will take you to figure out what happened. I will tell you whether it is good or bad."
Tong Tong pouted and poked at the dessert harder.
…………
The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.
"Woo——"
"Woo——"
"Woo——"
With the piercing whistle blowing, a train slowly stopped at the Peiping Railway Station.
At the exit of the station, there was a hustle and bustle of traffic. Jiang Xinyu walked out of the platform carrying his suitcase, while the coachmen waiting for work at the exit rushed to solicit business.
"Sir, would you like to take a car?"
"Sir, where are you going? My car will be fast and stable..."
"gentlemen……"
Jiang Xinyu stood on the street, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, as if he was waiting for someone, turned around suddenly, and swept his sharp eyes across the crowd behind him.
Ever since I got out of the car, I felt like someone was following me. Several counter-reconnaissances were unsuccessful. Could it be that I was too worried?
"Xikus Hutong." Jiang Xinyu got on a rickshaw on the street.
The driver pulled the cart and said as he ran: "Sir, where are you going to Xikusi Alley?"
"Is there a Sanhe Hotel at the entrance of the alley?"
"have."
"That's it."
"Come on, sit tight. I'll make sure I get you there safely in less than half an hour!"
"Slow down, don't be in a hurry."
"Judging from your accent, you are from Yanjin, right?"
"right!"
"I've been to Yanjin. I won't talk about anything else. When autumn comes, the streets and alleys are full of lively seafood..."
Jiang Xinyu didn't talk to him, but the Peking coachman Ju Neng said that if the guest did talk to him, he could chat with you forever, and the topic wouldn't be the same.
Half an hour later, the rickshaw stopped at the entrance of Sanhe Hotel. Jiang Xinyu paid the fare and walked into the hotel with his suitcase.
He was not in a hurry. According to the time calculation, Director Mao's train would arrive in Peiping this afternoon.
"Boss, open a room for me."
"Let's take a look at your ID...Room 11 on the second floor. At the very end, this is the room key."
"Okay, let's use the phone."
"As you wish."
Jiang Xinyu picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers. After waiting for a while, the call was connected and he said, "Excuse me, is Director Li here?"
The other end of the phone said: "Director Li is not here, who are you?"
"Oh, so be it. Please tell me, my name is Jiang Xinyu, and I live in the Sanhe Hotel in Xikusi Hutong."
"Are you Captain Jiang from Yanjin Station?"
"it's me."
"I've heard that you are coming. When Director Li comes back, I will tell him immediately."
"Thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xinyu carried the suitcase upstairs and walked along the corridor to the end, which was Room 11. Although the room was not large, it was very clean.
Jiang Xinyu opened the door, looked through each room, put the suitcase in the cabinet, rested for a while, then sat up and came to the window.
The window faced the street, with a wide view. Jiang Xinyu looked around aimlessly, and a familiar figure flashed past his eyes.
Although this man has changed his clothes, from the back, he is the same man who was spying on him at the Wanguo Hotel!
Jiang Xinyu secretly wondered who he was, and he actually followed him all the way from Yanjin to Beiping...
