"Nothing was found. He probably used a pseudonym."
"Did the news leak?"
"Could it be that the Communist Party saw the flaw?"
Wu Jingrong pondered for a long time, frowned and said: "It is said to be unlikely. Normally, as long as Wang Xuelin is executed, Liu Deli will relax his vigilance... How is Wang Xuelin's recovery from his injury?"
"It's basically nothing serious," the agent replied.
"Until someone is arrested, the news that Wang Xuelin is still alive must not be revealed! Maybe Liu Deli will appear in a few days!"
"Don't worry, the safe house is very secretive. Let alone the Communist Party, no one in the station knows about it... Well, I have something to report to you."
"What's up?"
"Tomorrow morning, Wang Xinrui will go to Nanjing to attend a special training class. She just told me that she wanted to see Wang Xuelin before leaving..."
"no!"
"But……"
"You don't have to worry about this. I'll talk to her later."
"yes."
Wu Jingrong shook his head disapprovingly and said to himself: "Xinrui is still too young. She is smart enough, but unfortunately she lacks experience..."
…………
Office of the Director of Intelligence.
“Tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Come in!" Shen Zhifeng was holding a cigarette in one hand and flipping through documents with the other.
Bai Jumin opened the door and walked in. He put a cardboard box full of English words on the table and said, "Director, this is what you want."
Shen Zhifeng opened the paper box and took a look. Inside was a mini recorder the size of a blue brick. Due to its small size, the recording time was only eighteen minutes.
Bai Jumin said: "Director, if you are investigating a case, you can just leave it to me. Why bother..."
Shen Zhifeng interrupted him and said, "I have to do this myself, so you don't have to worry about it."
The boss was not allowed to intervene, so Bai Jumin naturally couldn't say any more. He thought for a moment and said, "One more thing. The police station just called and asked us to assist in the investigation of fugitives."
"What fugitive?"
"Last night, there was a fire in the Jingxian security team and a prisoner escaped. It is said that he was a spy of the Communist Army."
Shen Zhifeng said calmly: "The Communist spies naturally fled back. How could they come to Yanjin?"
Bai Jumin said: "The police station said that because the prisoner is from Xinjiadian, they will notify us as usual."
"What's the prisoner's name?"
"Grain wheat."
"knew."
Bai Jumin bowed, turned around and retreated.
Shen Zhifeng opened the paper box, placed the recorder on the table and looked at it for a while, then reached for the phone and dialed a few numbers.
After a while, the call was connected.
"Hello?"
"who are you looking for?"
"Aunt Mei, I am Shen Zhifeng."
"Oh, it's Mr. Shen, are you okay?"
"Is Wenxiu here?"
"Here she is, just wait, I'll call her."
"OK."
After a while, Xu Wenxiu's voice came from the receiver: "Hello? Brother Shen, are you okay?"
"Can you find Xinxin Tailor Shop?"
"Yes. You forgot, we passed by there two days ago."
"Yes. A batch of good materials came from the clothing store. You can make some new clothes."
"No need, I brought several sets of clothes..."
"Yanjin is no better than Xianju. You are my fiancée. You have to dress up beautifully. Go ahead. I have already paid. Just mention your name when you get there."
"All right."
"Oh, by the way, let Aunt Mei buy more vegetables and improve the food tonight."
Xu Wenxiu, who was on the other end of the phone, pondered for a moment and said: "Buying clothes and improving food...Brother Shen, are you happy about something?"
Shen Zhifeng smiled and said: "Wenxiu, you are so smart, I can't hide anything from you. Let me tell you, I got paid today!"
"I'm just telling you, there must be something good going on. Hey, what do you want to eat?"
"Then, let's have a really delicious roast duck."
"It's so delicious...is it the one north of the vegetable market?"
"Yes. Actually, the really delicious roast duck is less famous, but the taste is very good, not worse than the one in Quanjude, Peking."
"Really? Then I really have to try it..."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhifeng took a deep breath from the cigarette, exhaled a long string of smoke rings, looked at the rising smoke rings, and murmured: "It looks beautiful even if it doesn't blow away..."
Half an hour later.
Xinminli.
Shen Zhifeng was sitting in the car, holding a newspaper in his hand, looking over the top edge of the newspaper and staring at the door of his home from a distance.
A few minutes later, Xu Wenxiu came out of her home, got into a rickshaw on the street, and quickly disappeared from Shen Zhifeng's sight.
After a while, Aunt Mei carried the vegetable basket and walked towards the vegetable market.
Shen Zhifeng got out of the car, hugged the paper box containing the tape recorder, and quickly came to the door of his house. He took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.
Although Xu Wenxiu explained why she knew that Shen Zhifeng worked in the Secrecy Bureau, Shen Zhifeng still felt uneasy and decided to investigate thoroughly.
If the people closest to you cannot be 100% assured, how can you work with peace of mind?
As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. Before the investigation is clear, this matter cannot be known to outsiders, and Shen Zhifeng can only do it himself.
Among all investigation methods, the simplest method is to secretly hide a tape recorder at home and listen to what they say behind their backs.
Usually Aunt Mei and Xu Wenxiu are at home, so it is not convenient to get the recorder back, so we have to send them out first.
Xu Wenxiu went to a Western-style clothing store to take measurements and select fabrics. The Xinxin Western-style clothing store wasn't too close, and it took at least an hour to go back and forth.
The really delicious roast duck is freshly roasted and I want to sell it. Plus buying other vegetables, Aunt Mei won’t be able to come back for a while.
Shen Zhifeng had already chosen a place. There was a hidden compartment in the high and low cabinets in the living room. When he ordered the furniture to design the hidden compartment, it was originally intended to store some valuable items, but now it just happened to be put to use.
After hiding the tape recorder, Shen Zhifeng did not leave in a hurry. He looked around in each room with his hands behind his back, and found that everything was spotless and very clean and tidy.
This makes people sigh with emotion. With a woman in the family, the environment immediately changes qualitatively, which is very different from the messy scene before.
There was a letter on the coffee table, and it was obvious that a page had been torn out.
Shen Zhifeng picked up the letter and looked at it. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely see the writing on the previous page, which seemed to be the word "really delicious", and some of the names of various dishes.
Shen Zhifeng thought that this must be what Xu Wenxiu and Aunt Mei were discussing at home about what to buy. Maybe they were worried about forgetting, so they jotted it down on the letterhead.
He walked to the door, his heart suddenly moved, he turned around and looked at the letter on the coffee table, recalling the reply Xu Wenxiu wrote to him.
The handwriting is elegant and neat, and it is a very beautiful hand in regular calligraphy...
