Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

For three consecutive days, the investigation department cast a wide net but caught nothing. It was as if the old lady had disappeared, which made them a little anxious.

It was under such circumstances that the deaf old lady took advantage of the situation and no one expected that she would hide in Beiluoguxiang.

Although Beiluoguxiang is not as famous as Nanluoguxiang, it is also an alley more than 800 meters long with courtyards lining both sides. It is really hard to find it if you hide here.

At this time, the deaf old lady was entertaining guests in a small courtyard in Beiluoguxiang. Water was boiling on the coal stove, two people were sitting on the kang, and tea sets were placed on the kang table.

"Old lady, I said that Yi Zhonghai beside you is unreliable, right? He has not received any special agent training. Although he is a little smarter, he still can't escape the eyes of those old hunters in the investigation department.

You have been implicated by him this time, but luckily he doesn't know much. What are you going to do next? Stay here or go south across the sea?"

The old lady picked up the teapot and filled the other person's cup, speaking slowly.

"Special Envoy Lan, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I never thought that I would fall so hard when I got old. Now it's all my fault. Zhong Hai told me that someone was watching him. I thought a month would be enough, but who knew he was so patient? Fortunately, Zhong Hai didn't know our target, so we can continue the mission. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to carry on with the mission."

Special Envoy Lan was still wearing the same navy blue Mao suit, but this time he was not wearing glasses and his hair was a little messy, as if he had just returned from Pigeon City to buy food.

He picked up the teacup and tested the water temperature. It was still a little hot, so he put down the cup and looked at the old lady and said.

"As long as the other side doesn't find our target, everything will be fine. The other side of the sea has said that we can't beat China's army, and the navy can't be weak again.

As long as you can get the data of the military workshop of the steel rolling mill, you can ask for anything you want. But now that Yi Zhonghai is dead, it will be difficult for you to add sand to the steel rolling mill, right?"

The old lady frowned and did not answer the other party's question, but asked back.

"You came all the way from Tianjin this time, aren't you just asking me this?

Or do you think I would betray the Secret Service? Come here to enforce family law?"

Special Envoy Lan knew that what he had just said had angered the other party a little, so the old lady answered so impolitely. He laughed dryly and said.

"How could it be possible? Everyone in the Bureau of Secrets doesn't know that you have made countless contributions to the underground front since you joined the Lixing Society. If the guy from the Second Bureau hadn't fallen from the sky, you would probably be on the other side of the sea now.

Even if I had the courage, I wouldn't dare to use family rules against you.

But then again, the mission from the higher-ups must be completed no matter what. If it is not completed... I don't need to say more, right?"

At this moment, the deaf old lady really wanted to kill the other person with a single blow and then run away. With her abilities, she could go anywhere in the world.

But when she thought of Sha Zhu, her only blood relative, she softened again.

"You can go back and tell your superiors that I can complete the mission even without Yi Zhonghai.

But this time Yang Limin and Wang Huayuan are both in, so I need to reorganize the manpower in Sijiu City before I can make a plan."

Special Envoy Lan did not force the old lady to take action. He knew that with the inside information of the steel mill almost wiped out, being anxious would only make the situation worse.

"Okay then. I'll go back and ask my superiors to buy you more time. I hope everything goes well for you."

The deaf old lady lowered her eyes and did not look at Special Envoy Lan again. She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then left tactfully.

Serving tea to guests is the custom of the older generation.

At the other end of the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide had just received a call from his father-in-law asking him to prepare to take over the position of factory director, which made him tremble with excitement.

I didn't expect that Yang Liming would fall over such a small thing. God really has mercy on us.

Although he could only take over as factory director, but with the secretary position temporarily vacant, wouldn't he be the one who had the final say in the factory?

Thinking of Qin Huairu whom I saw in the small canteen these two days, I couldn't help but feel even more excited.

In the Security Department, Yang Liming and Yi Zhonghai have been detained ever since they were arrested. Since they were not enemy spies, they were not qualified to go to the Investigation Department, and they were not able to go to the police station because of the Investigation Department.

After three days of interrogation, Yi Zhonghai confessed almost everything he could. Zhao Shanhe then learned that he had been lurking in the old city with the deaf old lady since before liberation, and that he went to the Lou's Steel Plant with a purpose.

But the target at that time was Lou Bancheng.

"Uncle, shouldn't you say something about Shazhu?"

Only then did Zhao Shanhe remember the money that He Daqing mailed to him in the TV series, but it was all embezzled by this old guy. If he didn't want it now, he would probably never have the chance again in the future.

Yi Zhonghai was not tortured, but not everyone can endure being deprived of sleep for three days.

"What's the matter, Shazhu? I have explained everything I should have explained. Shanhe, please let me sleep for a while, considering that we have lived in the same yard for so many years."

"Uncle, let me give you another hint. Do you still remember He Daqing?"

If it were any other day, Yi Zhonghai might have pretended to be deaf and dumb, but now he couldn't bear it anymore, so of course he would say whatever he wanted.

"I remember, I confess.

He Daqing is the cook in the deaf old lady's residence. Because he knows too much about the old lady, the old lady asked me to find the White Widow to set up a trap to force him to Baocheng.

Before he left, he left two hundred yuan for Sha Zhu and his sister, and he would mail five yuan back to them every month.

Although I didn't give this money to Sha Zhu, I just wanted to save it for him. You know Sha Zhu's personality makes it impossible for him to save any money. "

Zhao Shanhe didn't believe the other party's lies. Old Yi had told him so many things in the past two days, and many of them were scary to talk about.

"Where did you put the money?"

"In my room, there is an iron box at the bottom of the kang cabinet. Inside is the letter and money that He Daqing mailed back."

Zhao Shanhe didn't ask for this for Sha Zhu, who is also in prison now.

He was thinking of He Yushui, this poor little thing whose mother had died and whose father ran away and whose brother didn't care about him. Finally, he had a lot of money. At least he would not be short of money before he started working.

After interrogating Yi Zhonghai, he went to see Yang Liming. Although Zhao Shanhe had a lot of questions to ask the other party, his rank was too low and he was not qualified to interrogate him.

Zhao Shanhe felt very happy when he saw Director Tang using the same method to entertain the former Secretary Yang. Ordinary people all like to see corrupt officials get into trouble, especially the big corrupt officials, and Zhao Shanhe is the same.

When everyone heard the numbers coming out of Yang Liming's mouth, they knew that he was hopeless. During the "Three Antis" campaign, anyone who embezzled money would be shot. The money he had embezzled was enough to be shot dozens of times at that time.
