"Let's put this aside, Captain Cao, I didn't expect you to come in person."
"Political Commissar Bao and I wouldn't worry if we sent someone else for such an important matter... Well, when will we move?"
"There is a wedding nearby and a lot of guests will come. When the bride arrives, they will set off firecrackers and take advantage of this opportunity to leave the air-raid shelter quickly."
"What should I do with these medicines?"
"Take them all away. There is a car outside to pick you up."
"What car?"
"police car."
"Is that possible? That car was stolen and the enemy found it..."
"Sometimes, the more dangerous it is, the safer it is!"
Seeing Cao Yunfei's hesitation, Jiang Xinyu further explained: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged outside, and you will go to a safe place soon."
"Where to go?"
"The Wang Family Courtyard is near Xiangyou Alley. However, you all took off your police uniforms. It's too eye-catching."
"good!"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment and said, "Is Li Dalu here?"
"Here." Li Dalu stood up in the darkness.
“Do you know Sesame Oil Alley?”
"Know."
"Come to the front station and explore the Xiangyou Alley. If you encounter the police or suspicious persons, leave a secret mark on the telephone pole at the entrance of the alley. It will be the secret mark of your Dagu detachment. Do you understand?"
"understood."
Jiang Xinyu said: "Captain Cao, do you think this arrangement is okay?"
Cao Yunfei nodded frequently. Jiang Xinyu's arrangement was very reasonable. No matter how careful the plan was, it must be prepared for unexpected situations.
He suddenly thought of a question and said repeatedly: "No, no, it's not suitable to go the same way. Let's find someone else."
Jiang Xinyu said: "Why do you need to replace someone?"
"It's not obvious. The old road has been exposed. What if I encounter a spy when I go out?"
"I just got the news that all the agents from the Secrecy Bureau have been transferred back. It's safe outside for the time being. Besides, if Li Dalu doesn't go, who else knows the way?"
Monkey said from the side: "I also know where Sesame Oil Alley is. Brother Lu and I will go together."
Before Jiang Xinyu could speak, Cao Yunfei agreed and said: "Yes, yes, yes, let the monkeys go together and we can take care of each other."
Jiang Xinyu had no reason to refute this opinion. Since Li Dalu could go, monkeys could naturally go too.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu said: "Okay, Monkey and Li Dalu will go together. After an hour, you wait at the entrance of the cave. When you hear someone knocking on the manhole cover three times, you can go out."
After arranging things, Jiang Xinyu looked at the cans scattered around and said: "Captain Cao, before you leave, be sure to clean the cave and take it away in the bamboo basket to avoid being found here by the spies."
"Don't worry, I promise to clean this place cleanly!"
Cao Yunfei also understood now that there must be a secret door in the wall. If the agents found the air-raid shelter and found that someone had stayed here, they might find the secret door.
…………
The exit of the air-raid shelter is actually not far away. It is in a nearby forest. The vice-president of the Maintenance Association used an abandoned sewer well to make the exit in order to hide it from others.
Monkey and Li Dalu squatted at the bottom of the well, looking at the manhole cover eagerly like frogs.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Someone knocked three times with a hard object like a stone.
The monkey climbed up the ladder on the well wall. He was as agile as a monkey. He gently pushed open the manhole cover and looked out. There was no one in the forest.
"Brother Lu, come up." Monkey said to Li Dalu behind him.
"Where are the people?" Li Dalu climbed up and looked around.
"They should have left. The people who work underground are all very nervous..."
"Let's go, let's go too."
The two of them walked out of the woods, lowering their hat brims and walking through small streets and alleys as much as possible to avoid encountering spies who knew them.
In fact, they don't need to worry at all. The Secret Service agents have withdrawn, and even the patrol officers have gone back to have lunch. This time period is very safe.
"Monkey, wait a minute!" Li Dalu suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the monkey into the corner.
The monkey was confused and hid behind Li Dalu and asked: "Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
"There is a situation." Li Dalu said with a solemn expression.
"what's going on?"
"You wait here, don't move. I'll go out and take a look. I'll be back soon."
"Why……"
Before the monkey could finish his words, Li Dalu had already walked out. He quickly walked around three times and quickly disappeared into the alley.
Ten minutes later, Li Dalu stopped and turned around, with a smile on his face and murmured: "Little monkey, he is just a little kid after all..."
There was a public phone booth not far ahead, and Li Dalu rushed over almost at a trot.
Public phones require coins to make calls. Li Dalu touched his pocket and found that except for a box of matches, there was not even half a cent in his pocket.
"Oops, he must have fallen into the air-raid shelter..." Li Dalu muttered to himself in annoyance.
There is no other way but to find a teahouse or some other place to borrow a phone.
Li Dalu turned around and was about to leave when Monkey stood outside the phone booth and said, "Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
"Monkey... why are you following me? I didn't tell you..."
"Brother Lu, you have forgotten that I am a monkey. It is impossible for you to get rid of me."
"You kid, what are you talking about? Why should I get rid of you... Let's go, let's go to Xiangyou Alley quickly, don't delay the business."
Monkey stood still, without any expression on his face, and said, "Brother Lu, who do you want to call?"
"I, I'm calling home. I haven't been back for so long. I want to tell my family that I'm safe... Oh, it's hard to make a phone call. I still have to answer the phone at the village office. I won't call. Let's go." Li Dalu pretended.
Said calmly.
"Brother Lu, don't lie to me."
"...What did I lie to you about?"
"Just now in the air-raid shelter, I felt something was wrong. You don't usually smoke, so why would you have a box of matches in your pocket? Moreover, when Lily came, you deliberately paddled the match. In fact, you wanted to see if he was
Who, by the way, you also crossed it once when you first entered the air-raid shelter."
"Silly boy, why are you going to be a detective?"
"How do you explain?"
"Little monkey, I just understand. Do you doubt me?"
"right!"
"Okay, let me explain to you why I have a match in my pocket..."
Li Dalu took two steps forward, and the monkey took a few steps back vigilantly, making preparations to run away at any time.
Li Dalu looked around and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. It would be bad if the agents see us. Let's go over there."
As he spoke, he walked towards an alley.
The monkey hesitated for a moment, kept a safe distance, and followed Li Dalu leisurely.
