Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

Two weeks passed like this. One day, He Yuzhu just returned home as usual, and saw his sister He Yushui running out from the inner room with tears on her face. She threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms and cried,

"Brother, Dad left without saying goodbye. Look, this is the letter he left behind."

He Yuzhu was not very surprised to hear the news, because he had known for a long time that his father He Daqing would go to Baoding to find the White Widow, and it was almost a month later.

He touched He Yushui's head and comforted her.

"Yushui, be good and listen to me. Now that dad is gone, let me take care of you from now on, okay?"

He Yushui, with tears in her eyes, nodded obediently when she heard this.

"Yeah, okay, bro."

He Yuzhu then opened the letter and read it carefully. The contents of the letter were as follows:

Zhuzi, your father has taken the train to Baoding. I am very happy to see your growth during this period, which shows that you can stand on your own. The only thing that your father is worried about is Yushui, but since ancient times, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Please forgive your father's irresponsibility and willfulness. In the future, I will trouble you to take care of Yushui.

As for your marriage, you must finalize it as soon as possible. When it is finalized, remember to write to me. I will definitely come back to attend your wedding.

Signed by He Daqing.

After reading the contents of the letter, He Yuzhu sighed slightly, thinking that it was bad luck to have such an irresponsible father, but overall the current situation was not too bad. At least now the situation had been completely opened up. He had a stable job and was a civil servant. His life would not be in embarrassment because of He Daqing's departure. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise.

He Yuzhu then put on an apron and went into the kitchen to cook dinner for He Yushui. 15 minutes later, a delicious soft-boiled egg and a plate of fried cabbage were ready.

He Yuzhu placed the dish neatly on the table, and the two siblings started to eat it with relish. He Yushui praised He Yuzhu while eating.

"Brother, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be no worse than our dad's. The food is really delicious."

He Yuzhu smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Silly sister, if it tastes good, eat more. I will make it for you every day from now on."

When He Yushui heard what He Yuzhu said, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, brother."

As for their father He Daqing, he had already boarded the train to Baoding to look for his white moonlight, the White Widow.

.....................

Another week passed, and Chen Feng and the Ma brothers gathered in the section chief's office.

When He Yuzhu saw that it was Chen Feng and the other two who came, he immediately took the initiative to ask,

"How is it? Did you find any clues?"

Chen Feng, as the representative of the three, was the first to respond.

"Chief, according to your previous instructions, after nearly half a month of investigation, there are a total of 105 people who are more likely to be suspects. However, these five people have more than enough conditions and time to commit the crime, so they are the most likely suspects."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Feng handed a document to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the information handed over by Chen Feng and looked through it carefully. He focused on the five major suspects.

They are Wang Bin, the workshop director of the machining workshop, Cai Xiaorui, the deputy chief of the finance department, Zhang Erhe, the warehouse keeper, Niu Baoguo, the canteen chef, and the last one, Wang Qing, the driver.

All five of them are single and live in single rooms in a courtyard.

He Yuzhu immediately asked Chen Feng about the information of these five people.

"Chen Feng, why do you think these five people are more suspicious?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately explained,

"In reply to the chief, although there are some singles among the remaining suspects, we found through our visits and investigations that the other single suspects are not lonely, have good relationships with others, and are sociable. They are unlikely to be enemy agents. As for the others who slightly meet the criteria, we have not included them as reference objects."

After listening to Chen Feng's report, He Yuzhu immediately fell into deep thought.

He felt that the enemy spy code-named 0407 was most likely one of these five people, so he came up with a bold plan.

Considering that the communication between 0407 and Ji Xiaolong was quite frequent recently, and the communication required a telegraph and a radio, He Yuzhu had a preliminary plan. He immediately gave the latest task to Chen Feng and others.

"Chen Feng, Ma Hongtao, Ma Hongbing, please bear with me for a while.

My plan is to include me and the five people on the list. We will split into four groups, one person responsible for one, and closely monitor their every move to see what they are doing at night. If you find anything unusual, don't alert them, remember to come back and inform me as soon as possible, understand?"

When Chen Feng and the other two heard what He Yuzhu said, they immediately patted their chests and promised,

"Understood, Chief."

As for another candidate for surveillance, He Yuzhu considered asking Yuan Hao, who was more clever in the security department, to take action.

In fact, the residences of these five suspects were not far away. After all, they were all in the same factory area and could not be too far away. This greatly facilitated their work.

The person He Yuzhu was responsible for was the canteen chef Niu Baoguo. Speaking of Niu Baoguo, he was a bachelor in his 30s. He didn't interact much with the people in the factory on weekdays and always kept to himself. It was because of this that he was not sociable that he became a particular suspect.

However, among these people on the list, He Yuzhu personally infers that the most likely suspect should be Wang Bin, the workshop director of the machine processing workshop. He holds a high position of power and has easy access to the equipment, which gives him very strong conditions for committing the crime.

At 12 o'clock that night, the enemy spy code-named 0407 once again used the radio to communicate with Ji Xiaolong code-named 0408.

After He Yuzhu learned the news, he immediately rushed out of the door and ran madly towards where Niu Baoguo was.

As for the other four, they had already been waiting at the homes of the people they were following.

He Yuzhu took advantage of the moonlight and quietly touched the wall of another courtyard. As he had been practicing Wu Qin Xi and Bajiquan hard in the past few years, his skills were quite good and he had already reached the level of an expert.

He avoided the night patrols, jumped over the wall, came to the room where Niu Baoguo was, and listened carefully with his ear against the door.

It wouldn't matter if he didn't hear it, but he was shocked when he heard it. Since his hearing was much better than that of ordinary people, he could vaguely hear the beeping sound coming from inside the house.

This discovery made He Yuzhu overjoyed. It seemed that the true identity of 0407 had been found, and that was Niu Baoguo. However, he did not expect that this enemy spy would actually be a chef, which was a bit embarrassing.

He Yuzhu did not alert the enemy. After listening at the door for a while, he returned the same way and withdrew.
