A major officer climbed up the stairs. The waiter hurriedly came forward and said, "Sir, what's the box number?"
The major officer said: "No. 5."
"Please come this way!"
This man's surname was Gu, and he was a combat staff officer at the Garrison Headquarters. Jiang Xinyu was also familiar with him. Every time he went to the Garrison Headquarters for a meeting, the two of them would chat for a while.
"Tongtong, I'm going out for a moment."
"Where are you going?"
"Meeting an acquaintance."
"oh."
Jiang Xinyu came out of the box and walked towards Staff Gu.
Staff Officer Gu also saw Jiang Xinyu and said in surprise: "Captain Jiang?"
"We meet everywhere in life, but I didn't expect to meet in a place like this. It seems that you and I are quite destined!" Jiang Xinyu said jokingly.
Staff Officer Gu laughed and said: "Yes, if it were a talented man and a beautiful woman, it might be a marriage again, but it's a pity that it's us two grown men!"
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Jiang Xinyu said: "I heard that the Security Command has been very busy recently. Chief Chen has canceled all his vacations. Do you still have time to come out to watch a show?"
Staff Officer Gu sighed and said: "A fellow countryman came from afar and insisted on inviting me to watch a play. I was too kind to refuse. To put it bluntly, the staff office gave him half a day off. It was said to be half a day off, but in fact it was only two hours.
!”
"It's up to you, Staff Gu, to save face. If it had been anyone else, I don't think it would have lasted more than two hours."
Staff Officer Gu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked at the door of the second box and said, "Captain Jiang, did you come alone?"
"I also go to the theater with my friends. Actually, I don't have much interest in Peking Opera."
"It's all for socializing. As a saying goes, people can't help themselves in the world..."
Regarding Zheng Baochuan's intelligence, Jiang Xinyu was a little uneasy. Counselor Gu was highly regarded in the garrison headquarters, so he must know whether it was indeed true!
After chatting for a while, Jiang Xinyu soon discovered that Staff Gu knew nothing about this matter!
How is this going?
Could it be said that that information was false?
Just as Jiang Xinyu was thinking wildly, Staff Officer Gu said: "Captain Jiang, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going in to socialize with the fellow villagers, and I have to rush back."
"When it comes to fulfilling one's duties, among the soldiers I know, Staff Officer Gu is a model!" Jiang Xinyu raised his thumb in approval.
"I don't dare to take this seriously. Director Shen is a worthy role model!"
"Which Director Shen?"
"That's Director Shen Zhifeng you're standing with!"
"Director Shen is indeed very diligent..."
"This morning, Chief Chen has not arrived yet. Director Shen went to the security headquarters early and waited for more than an hour!"
Jiang Xinyu thought, Shen Zhifeng went to the security headquarters early in the morning?
The problem is that the Security Bureau has no relevant official business today and needs to get in touch with the Security Command. What is he going to do to find Chief Chen?
…………
After the show, I found a noodle shop near Si Mian Zhong and had a quick bite. Jiang Xinyu drove Tong Tong home.
"Xinyu, what time is it?"
"Six o'clock."
"It will get dark at six o'clock..."
"The winter nights are long."
"Xinyu, will you... think of me in the future?"
Jiang Xinyu was a little lost. He was still thinking about his conversation with Staff Officer Gu. Shen Zhifeng went to the security headquarters early in the morning and met with Chief Chen. What on earth was he doing?
After receiving no response for a long time, Tong Tong was a little unhappy and muttered: "I just asked casually. If I don't want to answer, forget it. There is no need to think about it for so long..."
Only then did Jiang Xinyu realize that when he and Tong Tong were alone, he was in a relaxed state and did not need to deliberately hide his emotions.
'"What did you just say?" "Xinyu, are you worried?"
"What's wrong?"
"You didn't even look at the whole scene. You looked very worried. I was out of my mind when I was talking to you just now!"
"Maybe it's because there are too many things going on recently. There are too many things to think about."
Tong Tong thought for a while and said, "Can I help? For example, make a phone call or something..."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and shook his head.
"Who is that officer?"
"A staff officer at the Garrison Command."
"Is he also a communist?"
"no."
"I saw you muttering and thought he was too."
Jiang Xinyu looked forward and said slowly: "Tongtong, if you want to live a peaceful life, forget about Yanjin from now on, just treat it as a dream!"
"If only it was a dream, there would be no need to have so many worries!" Tong Tong leaned on the seat and looked at the rapidly regressing scenery outside the car window, feeling a little sad in his heart.
We have been together for nearly two years, and we are about to leave. It is impossible for anyone to say that we have no worries in our hearts!
Jiang Xinyu understands Tong Tong's mood, and he himself is not the same. This is how feelings are. When faced with a choice, you can't have both!
The two of them were speechless for a moment, and the car was silent in the dark night.
The car drove into Hongqiao District. When it reached an intersection, the traffic light turned red. Jiang Xinyu stopped the car, looked at Tong Tong who was silent and said, "Don't think too much, believe me.
Time will dilute everything!"
Tong Tong hummed absentmindedly, then suddenly leaned forward and looked around, frowning and said, "Where is this? I seem to have been here before..."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Of course you have been here before, this is also Plum Blossom Lane."
"ah?"
"See that photo studio?"
"Saw."
"With the photo studio as the boundary, there is Plum Blossom Alley to the east and Niujiao Alley to the west."
"Niujiao Alley?"
With the light of the street lamp, Tongtong looked at the signs on the roadside for a while and pretended to be angry: "Nonsense, where did Niujiao Alley come from? It's obviously Panzhui Alley!"
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot, Niujiao Alley is the old place name, and Panzhi Alley is the newly changed place name."
"Niujiao Alley, this name is quite interesting... Do they sell horns here?"
"This alley has a special feature. It is very spacious when you first enter, but becomes narrower as you go in, so it is named Niujiao!"
"Oh, I see……"
Jiang Xinyu knew that Zhang Nina’s new home was also in Niujiao Lane.
Since Zheng Guangrong's death, Zhang Nina has applied to the station to change houses. This request is normal. It is definitely not suitable for orphans and widows to continue living in the original location.
A car stopped at the entrance of the alley. As soon as the door opened, Zhang Nina got out of the car, waved to the people in the car, and walked towards the alley.
The people in the car did not leave immediately. They waited until Zhang Nina opened the door and entered the house, then turned around and left.
The traffic light lasts a long time. This type of manually controlled traffic light has no fixed time limit. If there are more people on one side, the other side will be allowed to pass.
A dark figure came out of Niujiao Alley, paused at the door of Zhang Nina's house, and then left quickly.
The car lights flickered in the distance, and Jiang Xinyu saw this man's appearance. For a moment, he even suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes!
The black shadow turns out to be Zheng Guangrong, this is really a ghost...
