Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

As the director promoted by Ma Dajun, Zhu Tao has great trust in Cao Xing.

Upon hearing this, he wanted to capture Li Ergou immediately.

Cao Xing told him, "Director Zhu, you must arrest him under other pretexts, such as gambling addiction. This is a good charge. Such a cancer cannot be tolerated in the organization."

Cao Xing was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he came up with this idea.

This way, at least the information revealed by the bangs can be prevented from being known by people outside the police station.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. I'll make sure this kid won't be able to say a word from now on."

Zhu Tao was also a smart man. After hearing what Cao Xing said, he realized the seriousness of the situation and made repeated assurances.

He was just about to go out when Ma Dajun pushed the door open.

"Director?"

"Brother Ma?"

Both of them were confused.

Ma Dajun didn't waste any words and explained immediately: "Your uncle asked me to come directly. He doesn't trust others. Tell me the whole story."

Zhu Tao knew it was not appropriate for him to be there, so he quickly said, "I'll go catch Li Ergou first, you guys talk first."

After he left, Cao Xing started talking about the deaf old lady he suspected from her bangs.

After telling the whole story, Ma Dajun looked serious.

"How could this be such a coincidence? Could the old lady next door be an oriole?"

Cao Xing was puzzled and asked: "Oriole? Is it also a code name?"

Ma Dajun nodded and said, "When I followed the old leader to deal with Bai Lu, this code name Huang Li also appeared before. However, after Bai Lu was caught, this code name never appeared again. We thought this person was dead, but we didn't expect that he would appear again now."

Cao Xing looked at Ma Dajun's big dark circles and couldn't help asking.

"Brother Ma, you haven't had a good rest these days while tracking down Li Yongjun. You don't look very energetic."

Ma Dajun said nonchalantly, "I haven't slept for three days. I'm used to it. It's nothing."

Cao Xing said speechlessly: "Then you might as well let me join. You know my ability."

Ma Dajun smiled and said, "You should just focus on picking up girls. We can handle these things. If we really can't do it, the old leader will not be polite to you."

"Well, but you have to drink this water first, otherwise I'm afraid you'll die before you succeed."

Cao Xing took out a cup of spiritual spring water and placed it in front of him.

Ma Dajun didn't hesitate and drank it in one gulp. He immediately felt refreshed.

"This water is almost like fairy water. If we can get a lot of it, our comrades will definitely be able to catch them."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "That's not easy. Tomorrow you load a wooden barrel on the car and I'll give you one."

"Really?"

"Of course, but you still need to rest. This water is only effective temporarily. Even a god can't stand staying up all night like you do."

"Okay, tomorrow the talents transferred from all over the country will be in place, and we can take turns to rest."

At this time, Zhu Tao knocked on the door. Ma Dajun asked him to come in, and he stood up and said.

"Director, Li Ergou has been detained. What should we do next?"

Ma Dajun and Cao Xing exchanged a glance and said calmly, "Just lock him up for gambling. Everything will continue as usual. Visitors will be allowed, but visitors must keep detailed records and be supervised."

"Okay, I'll do it now."

After Zhu Tao left, Cao Xing asked again: "Can you tell us what Li Yongjun has investigated so far?"

Ma Dajun thought for a moment and said, "Actually, he is not our target. Our target is still Bai Lu. We have found some clues at the Communications Bureau, but we dare not make a big fuss about it. Otherwise, if the enemy notices us, we will probably be in a passive position."

Cao Xing agreed and said, "The last step in contacting Bai Lu both times was a phone call. Obviously, they have people in this communications bureau, and their level is not low. If you take any action, you will probably alert them."

“So this is where the difficulty lies now.”

Cao Xing said slowly, "You can definitely get the list of all the workers in the Communications Bureau without anyone noticing."

Ma Dajun was stunned and asked, "Do you want to try it through your connections first?"

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Of course. Bai Lu was able to entrust such an important task to a spy from the Communications Bureau. This shows how much trust he has in him. I guess the two of them have a close relationship."

Ma Dajun slammed the table.

"Great! Since we can't openly go to the Communications Bureau to check, we can first check the workers' family backgrounds. This is easy for us."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "I remember there was a national census in 53."

Ma Dajun looked at him puzzledly and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Do you think it would be easier to help you find the egret if we come here again now?"

"It can certainly help, but it's obviously unlikely. This is a big deal."

"According to my calculations, the second national census started in early 64, and it is now the end of 62. If you try to persuade the higher authorities, it might be carried out earlier."

Ma Dajun was surprised and asked, "Really?"

Cao Xing spread his hands and said, "Brother Ma, when have I ever lied to you? Then you can openly investigate the family members and connections of the Communications Bureau."

"Okay, I'll go back and tell the old chief that if this works, I'll treat you to a drink."

"Forget it. You can't drink more than me, and I have to carry you back in the end. It's so tiring."

Ma Dajun didn't care about all this. He just waved his hands and left.

After Ma Dajun left, Cao Xing and others came to the cell where Liu Haizhong was imprisoned.

There is a detention center behind the police station. In these days, the police station has the power to temporarily detain people.

Liu Haizhong lives in a single room, and thanks to the food provided by the Red Star Police Station, he eats better than those outside.

When he saw Cao Xing, he ran over as if he had seen his own father.

"Xiaoxing, thank you for your care. This is the most comfortable prison I have ever lived in."

Cao Xing curled his lips and said, "This is not a prison, it's just a detention center. If you want to go, I can arrange for you to go in."

Liu Haizhong was so scared that he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, not in this lifetime."

"Liu Haizhong, I see you're living quite comfortably here, do you still want to go out?"

"Of course I want to, even though the food here is good, there's no freedom!"

"The police checked the deaf old lady. What you said is completely useless. This old lady is just an ordinary old lady who knows some leaders. It's not as serious as you said."

Liu Haizhong panicked when he heard this and said quickly: "That's impossible, you must have checked wrongly, there must be something wrong with her."

"Humph, what do you mean by yours or ours? I didn't check this, the police did. There is indeed nothing wrong with it. You are worrying too much."

Lieutenant General Liu Hai grabbed the railing and begged, "Xiao Cao, please help me again, I beg you, if you help me I will definitely repay you in the future."

Cao Xing said disdainfully: "What can you repay me? What do I need from you?"

Liu Haizhong's eyes gradually lost their light and he felt despair.

"But...if you can give me all the money you are going to get, I will consider helping you."
