Siheyuan, my new life

The comrade from the relevant department didn't care about the soil on the floor of the room at all. He just lay down next to the cave and carefully dug out the soil around the wooden board with his hands. At this time, everyone could confirm that what was buried here was an ammunition box.

The comrades from the relevant departments patiently cleaned up all the soil around the bullet box, and then reached out to test the hardness of the soil at the bottom of the cave. Then they sat up, waved their hands to signal all the action team members to leave the stone house, and then reached out to touch the bottom from both sides of the bullet box. They applied a little force with both hands, tested the weight of the bullet box, and then slowly moved the bullet box out of the cave.

I had just left the stone house and was lying at the door, craning my neck to watch the situation inside nervously. I saw that the comrades from the relevant department had already moved the bullet box out of the cave. Just as I was about to enter the stone room, I heard the comrade from the relevant department say loudly: "Don't come in yet, I want to check if there is any mechanism under the wooden board of the box."

After hearing his words, everyone continued to look nervously at the actions of the comrade from the relevant department in the room.

The comrade first cleaned up all the dirt on the bullet box, then slowly opened a gap, squinted his eyes and tried to look inside the bullet box. After a while, he looked up and told everyone: "Please find a flashlight and a pair of sharp scissors."

After hearing what this comrade said, everyone understood that there must be a mechanism inside the bullet box. Everyone was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. Thinking back to the time when they had to directly lift up the wooden board on the box, if that happened, everyone present would probably be in trouble.

A member of the action team quickly turned around and ran towards the central area where the supplies were stored. He remembered that he had found many flashlights when he searched the various stone houses before, and they were all piled up in the drying yard in the central area.

Sure enough, after a while, the team member returned here with three flashlights and two pairs of scissors, followed by two deputy directors, Xiong Qingshan and Zhang Shangwu. They listened to the team members' report and said that enemy spies had set up a mechanism in a bullet box, and then Ma Yun also ran over.

The comrades from the relevant departments took the flashlight, turned it on to test the brightness, and then slightly lifted a gap of less than half a centimeter with their left hand, shining the flashlight through the gap into the bullet box. After confirming again and again, they placed the flashlight on the soil in front of them, adjusted the angle, held the scissors tightly in their right hand, slowly reached into the gap between the board and the box, aimed at a thin line and applied a little force, and the thin line was immediately cut by the scissors. Then they took back the scissors, picked up the flashlight and looked carefully through the gap, and then gently lifted the board. What appeared in front of everyone was a bunch of oil paper bags, and on the top was a grenade with the rope cut off.

Several members of the action team couldn't help but gasp. If they had directly lifted the wooden board on the box, the grenade would have exploded at such a close distance, and there would inevitably be casualties among those present.

After the relevant departments cooperated with comrades to take the grenades out of the bullet box, they began to open the oil paper packages underneath one by one. Several members of the action team found that there were only some porcelain plates and bowls, and they were a little disappointed.

Zhang Shangwu, who was standing at the back, smiled and said, "Don't look down on these things. The enemy spy even placed a grenade in the box, which is enough to prove that these things are of high value. They are probably antique porcelain. You should write down the number first and take them back to have someone who knows the business identify them."

Next, everyone began to search each stone house one by one, and found valuables secretly hidden by the enemy spies in many of the stone houses. Some were buried underground, and some were stuffed in the beams. The most common items were large and small yellow croakers and some silver dollars.

After nightfall, the team members who could cook had prepared meals. The enemy spies had prepared a lot of flashlights and daily necessities here, including rice, flour, grain, oil, various seasonings, bacon, vegetables and other things. After dinner, Xiong Qingshan personally led a dozen action team members to be responsible for patrol and guard work in the first half of the night.

At this time, the training base of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was still brightly lit. When the trucks escorting enemy spies and supplies from the mountains returned to the training base, it was almost six o'clock.

First, these enemy spies were handed over to the interrogators who were already prepared. After unloading the car, everyone walked into the canteen of the training base together.

He Daqing and his son are both working overtime here tonight. When Lin Yu got off work, he drove Huang Ying and her son home, and then went to pick up his sister and mother. After working overtime tonight, he went straight back to the training base.

Deputy Minister Yan did not return to the unit this afternoon. He did not feel relieved until Qin Ming and others escorted back all the spies from the secret bases of the Bureau of Security in Beijing. After reviewing the interrogation materials of the captured enemy spies this afternoon, Deputy Minister Yan became more and more frightened. If these enemy spies were allowed to succeed, the impact would be too bad.

After hurriedly finishing their dinner, Deputy Minister Yan and Lin Yu saw off their comrades in the army and returned to the secretary's office.

At this time, Qin Ming, Wang Shengli, Guan Dajiang and four comrades from relevant departments were already waiting here.

After the two leaders sat down, Qin Ming smiled and said, "Deputy Minister Yan, Secretary Lin, the interrogators just sent all the interrogation records over."

Lin Yu picked up a stack of materials on the desk, glanced at it, and handed it to Deputy Minister Yan next to him, then nodded slightly: "Everyone has worked hard this afternoon, Comrade Qin Ming, now let's briefly report to Deputy Minister Yan."

Qin Ming picked up the notebook in front of him and began to report on the actions taken this afternoon, mainly the enemy spies who had been captured and the various supplies seized.

Deputy Minister Yan was flipping through the interrogation records while listening to Qin Ming's report. When he heard about the discovery of several tons of coke, Deputy Minister Yan handed several interrogation records in his hand to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu took it and looked at it. It was the details of the enemy spies' confession about how they bribed some internal personnel of the Storage and Security Departments of the Coke Plant of the Beishan Mining Bureau, and colluded with internal and external forces to steal coke from the coke plant. Unexpectedly, seven people were involved, including a section chief and two custodians of the Storage Department, and four people from the Security Department.

These guys were so bold that they drove a truck into the coke plant while the four security personnel were on duty. With the cooperation of the storage department, they directly loaded a truck with nearly four tons of coke and transported it out in broad daylight.
