Fang Yongyan put down the tea bowl in his hand, looked at Xu Siqi for a while, and said, "No matter who Li Shiqun is, you shouldn't ask."
Xu Siqi said: "Shi Jiwei told me that the person who betrayed him was Li Shiqun. Liu Jianming will definitely rush to the hospital to visit, if Shi Jiwei is still alive..."
Fang Yongyan's expression suddenly changed, he made a stop gesture, frowned in thought for a long time, and said, "Which hospital is Shi Jiwei in?"
"Guangci Hospital."
"Does Liu Jianming have a gun on him?"
"I don't know. However, I guess not. The French Concession has been very strict recently. Once you are found to be carrying firearms privately, it will be a very serious crime."
"That'll be easy..."
"Old Fang, what do you want to do?"
"You don't need to worry about this. I will notify the operations personnel to deal with the aftermath."
"You want to get rid of Liu Jianming?"
"right."
"I don't think it's appropriate."
"What's wrong?"
"Guangci Hospital is very close to Xue Huali Road. When I came back just now, the patrol office issued a curfew. After nine o'clock in the evening, no one is allowed to appear on the street without the permission of the patrol office."
Fang Yongyan glanced at his watch. It was now 8:20 in the evening. It was indeed too late. Even if he rushed there before the curfew, how the operators could safely evacuate was still a problem.
Xu Siqi thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll do this. I'm the detective of the patrol room. It's not surprising to appear anywhere."
"Absolutely not!"
"Why?"
"You are an intelligence agent, this is not your job."
"Liu Jianming is not prepared for me, nothing will happen..."
"That's not OK."
Fang Yongyan knew very well that Xu Siqi was worth far more than he was now. If his identity was exposed because of this incident, it would be a small loss.
Xu Siqi said: "Don't worry, if I am not absolutely sure, I will definitely not take action. Besides, maybe Shi Jiwei has already died."
Fang Yongyan thought about it and couldn't think of any other way besides asking Xu Siqi to give it a try, so he reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"I want to make one final confirmation, is Li Shiqun one of ours?" Xu Siqi asked.
Fang Yongyan also knew that since the talk came to this, Li Shiqun's identity could no longer be concealed. Fortunately, the insider was Xu Siqi, so he nodded and said: "His situation is quite special. Is he one of us?"
It is still in the screening stage.”
"Screen for what?"
"Some time ago, many anonymous articles attacking our party appeared in major newspapers in Shanghai, causing extensive discussions from all walks of life and having an extremely negative impact on our party's image."
"The person who wrote the article is Li Shiqun?"
"I wasn't sure at first. After all, it was an anonymous article and there was no way to verify the author's identity. Later, I accidentally discovered that Li Shiqun's article published in Social News was very similar in writing style when compared with the two."
Writing articles is like dressing up, there are style habits that are difficult to change.
"However, even so, it cannot be concluded that the article was written by Li Shiqun. In order to identify him, I asked him to provide information about Shi Jiwei..." Fang Yongyan continued.
Ten minutes later, the two of them left Qingxin Teahouse one after another.
…
Nine o'clock at night.
Xu Siqi took the tram and came to Guangci Hospital on Masinan Road.
The situation is better than expected. Although there are many more patrols on the streets, there is no curfew in the area around Guangci Hospital.
Every adult man who appears on the street must undergo a body search and answer various questions. Those who behave suspiciously will be immediately taken back to the patrol room.
Seeing Xu Siqi, a Chinese police officer came over with a rifle and said, "Let's take a look at the ID."
Xu Siqi was very cooperative and took out his ID and handed it over.
Although Xu Siqi was not the inspector of the illegal concession, the name of the only Chinese inspector in the public concession had long been spread among the Chinese in the two places. This was a matter that brought honor to the Chinese.
At least it illustrates one problem. It’s not that Chinese police officers are incompetent. As long as you do well, you can become a detective like a foreigner.
The Chinese policeman felt the same way. He was very polite to the young Chinese policeman. He returned the certificate with both hands and said, "Inspector Xu, there is a curfew in the Xue Huali area. If it is not necessary, try not to go there."
"Thanks for reminding."
Xu Siqi put away his ID and walked slowly along the road.
He was thinking in his mind that if he met someone he knew, he would have to think of a reason in advance as to why he came to the hospital so late...
At this time, Liu Jianming walked out of the hospital with a brown briefcase and a drooped head.
Xu Siqi thought for a moment, walked across the road, looked over, and said hello from a distance: "Hello, Section Chief Liu."
Liu Jianming looked happy and hurried forward to greet him, saying, "Hello, Inspector Xu."
The two shook hands.
Xu Siqi said: "I just sent my girlfriend back and was planning to visit your house. I heard that there was a curfew there, so I had to get off the car at Masinan Road. How are you doing at home?"
Liu Jianming looked gloomy, sighed softly, and said: "Thank you for your concern. There is nothing else. The main reason is that Ah Rong was frightened and cried and refused to sleep..."
"Seeing familiar people being shot to death indiscriminately will definitely affect the child's heart... When you have nothing to do, spend more time with your child. Children are forgetful, and it will be fine in a year and a half."
Xu Siqi comforted him a few words, pointed in the direction of the hospital, and said, "Has your colleague been rescued?"
Liu Jianming shook his head: "The doctor said that the injury was too serious and he would not be able to survive on the road."
"that's too regretful……"
Xu Siqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his anxious heart finally fell to the ground. Since Shi Jiwei died on the way, there was no way he could tell the medical staff about Li Shiqun.
This was a complete success and no risk was taken.
When Liu Jianming drove to the hospital, he insisted on sending Xu Siqi back. Xu Siqi said a few polite words and did not refuse any more.
Liu Jianming opened the door and got into the car, placing his briefcase in front of the windshield. Xu Siqi turned to the other side and sat in the passenger seat.
The car drove off the curb, the car body bumped twice with inertia, and the briefcase slowly landed at Xu Siqi's feet.
Liu Jianming said: "Hold me behind."
Xu Siqi bent down and picked it up. When he saw the trademark pattern on the briefcase, he couldn't help but feel moved - this was Shi Jiwei's briefcase!
He remembered clearly that when Shi Jiwei got out of the car, he was holding this briefcase with the blue sky and white sun flag pattern printed on it and a tiger head trademark logo.
