In the second half of the winter vacation, Uncle Qi took Li Zihang to travel through the alleys of the old city, visiting various city gates, historical sites, and the four gates of the imperial city.

Li Zihang took photos of various old buildings as souvenirs.

So far, I have used nine and a half rolls of film. One roll of film can only take 36 photos. During this period, I have developed more than 200 photos. The rest have not been developed yet.

Now Li Zihang is a big customer of the photo studio that develops photos. Poor people play with cars, rich people play with watches, and single people regret it for life. This saying is not an exaggeration in this era. A camera costs 450 million, a roll of film costs 10, and developing a photo costs 3. During this period, Li Zihang spent nearly 600 million on cameras alone. In this era, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker in the old city is only 2 or . A bicycle costs more than million. The old man saw all this, but didn't say anything.

It's the end of the year! It's the coldest time of the year, and snow is falling outside. Sitting on the back of his bicycle, Li Zihang chatted with his uncle: "Uncle, the snow is getting heavier. Let's find a restaurant on the roadside and have lunch. We'll go home when the snow stops. We've been to the city for a long time, but it's not fun anymore. We'll stay at home for the rest of the year."

Uncle Seven: "My little master! You are finally tired of playing. My legs have become thicker from riding the bicycle all this time."

Li Zihang: "Seventh Uncle, you are still complaining here. Your face has become rounder after seeing the sun. Who dragged me to pass by the tavern in Zhengyangmen for no reason? And who was flirting with Sister Xu? If I hadn't exposed you, you would be married and your child would be in junior high school. You made a mistake."

After hearing this, Uncle Qi slammed on the brakes. The road was so slippery that he almost fell over with the car.

Li Zihang hugged Uncle Qi's waist and said hurriedly, "Uncle Qi, are you trying to silence me? You shouldn't kill your nephew for such a small matter."

Uncle Qi, sitting on his bicycle with his feet on the ground, holding the handlebars, said nervously: "Stop talking nonsense, something happened. Did you see the three people at the entrance of the alley?" Then he turned his head and looked back and said

"It's over. The back is also blocked."

Li Zihang leaned over and looked at the three men in military coats about ten meters away in the alley, then turned his head and looked behind him. Two men wearing the same green coats and military cotton hats were walking towards him and his seventh uncle in a double-teaming manner.

Uncle Seven spoke at this time: "Nephew, hold me tight and sit down. I will rush over as fast as I can. If I can't rush over, I will risk my life and drag the other person. Then you run quickly and don't worry about me. After you run out of the alley, shout to catch the spies and try to run to where there are many people. Did you hear me clearly?"

Li Zihang nodded to indicate that he understood.

At this time, the five people who were surrounding them were only 7.8 meters away. Uncle Qi saw this and quickly prepared to pedal to sprint. Just as he was about to pedal, the person on the other side pulled out a pistol from his arms and pointed it at Uncle Qi and Li Zihang. He shouted loudly: "Hey~ Hey~, get off the bike. Otherwise, be careful of getting shot."

Uncle Qi and Li Zihang, who were pointed at by five guns, immediately broke out in cold sweat. Uncle Qi did not dare to act rashly and signaled Li Zihang to get out of the car first. After getting out of the back seat, the frightened Li Zihang raised his hands to indicate that he was not a threat.

When Uncle Qi saw Li Zihang get off the bike, he carefully put it down, raised his hands and stood where he was.

When the five men approached with guns raised, three of them put away their guns, stepped forward and held Uncle Qi’s arms with their hands behind his back, arrested him and put handcuffs on him. There was also a big man on the other side, who took the camera off Li Zihang’s neck and handed it to the person next to him. Then he held the back of his neck with one hand.

Uncle Qi and Li Zihang cooperated well and did not resist. After all, there were two guns pointed at them.

Uncle Seven: "Who are these heroes? Is there any misunderstanding?"

The man holding Uncle Seven said, "We are the police. We will investigate whether it is a misunderstanding or not. You'd better cooperate."

When Uncle Qi and Li Zihang heard that they were police officers, they immediately felt relieved.

Li Zihang was held by the back of his neck and lowered his head and said, "Uncles from the police force, you must have misunderstood. We have never done anything illegal. I am a relative of a martyr, and my parents died during the War of Liberation. My grandfather was a patriot, and the government even presented a plaque to our family. An elder in my family is also from the National Security Bureau. The one next to me is my seventh uncle."

Li Zihang quickly told about his family background.

After listening to Li Zihang's words, several police officers looked at each other for a few seconds, and then one of them said, "We will investigate what you said, kid. If you are really a family member of a martyr, then please cooperate with another comrade and don't do anything dangerous. After the investigation, if it is a misunderstanding, we will let you go."

Li Zihang's words worked. The two police officers holding Uncle Qi helped him stand up straight. The handcuffs on Uncle Qi's arms loosened a little. The police officer holding Li Zihang's neck also loosened his grip.

Uncle Qi and Li Zihang were then taken to the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau.

In the interrogation room, Uncle Qi and Li Zihang were interrogated separately. A police comrade sitting opposite him started to interrogate and record with a pen.

Interrogator: "Name, age, gender, ethnicity, home address"

Li Zihang: "Li Zihang, 7 years old, male, Han nationality, living in the yard of No. 40, Nanluoguxiang Street."

Interrogator: "Yo! He's a small capitalist. Family members, family background."

Li Zihang: "There are three people in my family, my grandfather, my grandmother and me."

Interrogator: "Why do you call the man with you Uncle Seven?"

Li Zihang: "He is the son of my grandfather's cousin. According to seniority, I call him Seventh Uncle."

Interrogator: "Go on, tell me about your family background, where did you get the camera, and why you take photos everywhere."

Li Zihang answered in detail.

On the other hand, the old man also received a notice from the street, asking him to go to the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau. After the old man hurriedly came to the Public Security Bureau, he found that it was his grandson who caused the trouble, so he asked about the whole story. Then he cooperated with the police and handed over all the photos and films taken by Li Zihang during this period to the police.

The old man also met an acquaintance named Duo Ye at the Public Security Bureau.

Duo Ye: "Hey! Isn't this Master Li? How come you have time to come here today?"

Old man: "Alas~ This is not my grandson's business."

Then he told Duo Ye what had happened.

After hearing the whole story, Duo Ye said, "This is definitely a misunderstanding. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Uncle Qi and Li Zihang were also released, but the photos and films could not be returned to them for the time being. The police also had to identify whether the photos showed any places that should not be photographed.

In the public office of the police station, Duo Ye and several policemen were examining each photo. As for the undeveloped films, they also sent people to develop the photos.

Duo Ye: "You know what, these photos are well taken. Ordinary streets and city gates are photographed so majestically and tastefully. It's really rare."

After seeing a photo, Duo Ye looked at it carefully, handed it to his colleague next to him, and asked if anyone knew the person in the photo with the street background.

After the photo was passed around, it returned to Duo Ye. The old man standing next to him also took a look. Then he frowned and said, "I seem to have seen the person in this photo somewhere. It feels familiar."

After hearing what the old man said, Master Duo also said, "Master Li, are you also familiar with this person?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember where I saw him, but he looks familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before."

The people around them were also confused by the two of them.

After some twists and turns, the old man took Uncle Qi and Li Zihang back home in the afternoon. The authenticated photos were returned to Li Zihang, including that photo.
