As soon as the door lock rang, Aunt Mei opened the door and walked in with a vegetable basket on her arm.
Xu Wenxiu sat on the sofa, feeling very depressed. Aunt Mei came back, which meant that Qi Yuantai hadn't spread the news yet.
Aunt Mei said: "Wenxiu, I bought leeks and meat..."
Before she finished speaking, the bedroom door rang, and Shen Zhifeng stepped out and said, "Aunt Mei, what are you having for dinner?"
Why did Shen Zhifeng come back early?
Aunt Mei had doubts in her heart, but she couldn't show them on the surface. She said, "Mr. Shen, you're back? That's great. Let's make dumplings for dinner tonight."
Shen Zhifeng smiled, sat down next to Xu Wenxiu and said, "Yeah, I love dumplings the most."
"Wenxiu also likes to eat dumplings. You can eat one together in the future... Wenxiu, come out and help me pick vegetables." Aunt Mei gave Xu Wenxiu a wink and motioned to Xu Wenxiu to come to the yard to talk.
Shen Zhifeng said calmly: "Aunt Mei, if you have anything to say, just say it here."
Aunt Mei said with a smile: "I want Wenxiu to help me pick vegetables..."
Shen Zhifeng opened the cabinet door, took out the mini recorder from inside, turned off the recording button with a click, and said, "Are you relieved now?"
Aunt Mei was secretly surprised and vaguely felt something was wrong. She pretended to be curious and asked: "What is this?"
Shen Zhifeng said: "You don't know what this is?"
"You are joking, I don't know what this foreign thing is."
"Aunt Mei, stop acting, you're screwing up."
"Mr. Shen, what did you say... the performance was bad?"
"Last month, Wenxiu and I went to Zhongyuan Department Store. You received a special guest while there was no one at home. Is this the case?"
"No, I don't know anyone, so what kind of guests can I receive..."
Shen Zhifeng said word for word: "A Communist Party member."
"Communist? Don't be ridiculous... Wenxiu, what happened?" Aunt Mei turned her face to look at Xu Wenxiu, hoping to get a hint from her.
Xu Wenxiu lowered his head and sat silently aside.
Shen Zhifeng said: "Aunt Mei, I have to admit that you are very smart and actually thought that there might be a bugging device in your home. Unfortunately, a hundred secrets eventually fall apart. In fact, it's fine if you continue to pretend that you don't know anything. In fact, , I almost gave up investigating you."
Aunt Mei forced a smile and said: "Mr. Shen, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word of it?"
Shen Zhifeng said to himself: "Liu Amei, codenamed Haiyan, is a member of the Communist Party's underground team in Xianju, and is also a team leader. She developed Xu Wenxiu through Wenqu Club. Of course, Xu Wenxiu is still in the investigation stage. , her job is very simple, posting reactionary slogans everywhere, that’s all.”
"…………"
"I have never understood why your people came to my house. Now I know that that person came to find out where the eavesdropping device is. He should have professional detection tools. Aunt Mei, am I right? "
At this point, it was useless for Aunt Mei not to admit it. She glared at Xu Wenxiu and said slowly: "Wenxiu, I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be willing to be a shameful traitor!"
Xu Wenxiu turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "Aunt Mei, I don't..."
Aunt Mei said sternly: "No? He knows it in such detail, how dare you say no!"
Judging from her momentum, it seemed that she was about to rush forward and beat Xu Wenxiu violently to relieve her anger, but suddenly she opened the door and was about to run out.
"Back off!"
Outside the door was the muzzle of a black gun, forcing Aunt Mei back step by step.
The owner of the pistol, Captain Hong, also followed in and said proudly: "Want to run away? There is no way. Director Shen has a clever plan and has long thought that you are going to do this!"
While talking, he put handcuffs on Aunt Mei, then bowed politely to Xu Wenxiu and said, "Miss Xu, I'm sorry, it was all a misunderstanding last time."
Xu Wenxiu was stunned. She didn't realize it until now. Captain Hong was sent by Shen Zhifeng and she fell into a trap.
Shen Zhifeng came to Aunt Mei and said: "I don't ask about your mission, I just want to know one thing. The person who comes to the house should be your top line, right? Who is he?"
Aunt Mei remained silent.
Shen Zhifeng said slowly: "If you don't tell me, I can guess a little bit..."
Captain Hong couldn't help but said: "Director Shen, leave this woman to me. Just take care of her. I promise to pry her mouth open within three days!"
Shen Zhifeng thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said: "No. If you take her away, her superior will get the news. Then, he will not see Qi Yuantai again."
"My car was parked at the corner gate and no one saw it. Besides, how did the Communist Party know that Liu Amei was arrested?" Captain Hong said unconvinced.
"If my guess is correct, there is a high probability that that person is hiding within us, the Secrecy Bureau, the Party Communications Bureau, including the plainclothes team..."
"Are you saying that we have Communist spies within us?"
"Professional detectors are only available to intelligence agencies."
"Yes, yes, I forgot about this... Then, what should we do with her?" Captain Hong pointed at Aunt Mei.
Shen Zhifeng thought about it for a moment, then came up with an idea, and said: "She will be locked up at home until she is sent to her superiors. Captain Hong, I have to ask you one thing."
"You're welcome. If you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
"Lend me two people, and we will eat and live at my house. The main task is to look after Amei Liu."
"Director Shen, you also know that I am not the one who has the final say on the plainclothes team. There are also deputy captains and captains on top. If there are two people missing for a long time, if there is an inquiry..."
"Don't worry, there will definitely be results within three days at most!"
"That's it. With your words, I feel relieved. I'll go back and bring someone here."
"etc!"
"Any other instructions?"
Shen Zhifeng was a little worried and warned: "When you come, you should go through the corner door and don't let anyone see you."
Captain Hong smiled and said, "You are too cautious."
Shen Zhifeng said: "The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the open, so we must be more cautious. In addition, Captain Hong, if you can catch Liu Amei's superior, you, the squad leader, should mention it to the top."
"That's a blessing from you, thank you very much." Captain Hong said with a smile.
They were chatting and laughing nearby, while Xu Wenxiu complained secretly. He originally wanted to tip off Aunt Mei to his superiors, but he didn't expect that this was also a trap set by Shen Zhifeng!
This is how to do?
Xu Wenxiu was extremely worried. If Aunt Mei and her superiors were arrested one after another, she might not be able to clear herself of the traitor charge even by jumping into the Yellow River.
——Shen Zhifeng saw through Xu Wenxiu's thoughts. Most of what he said in prison were actually foreshadowing. The ultimate goal was to get her to send a message to Qi Yuantai.
