"Ahem, Xue'er, bring me some hot porridge." Wan Lei lay on the bed, raised his hand with difficulty, and asked Zhao Xue'er standing aside to get him food. Standing next to Zhao Xue'er was
Liu Wan, she was deceived just now, saying that she was entrusted by Mrs. Wan in a dream at night, asking her to tell Wan Lei: live well.
Wan Lei burst into tears after listening to Liu Wan's lie, nodded repeatedly, and now asked for food. Zhao Xueer was so "joyed" that she left the girl and ran to the kitchen. Of course, what she brought was not millet porridge, but
Ginseng decoction. Although the illness was feigned, Wan Lei was worried about his wife's safety. He had been thinking about it for the past two days and it was time to make up for it.
Watching Wan Lei finish a bowl of ginseng soup, Liu Wan pretended to be embarrassed and said that she wanted to ask for something. Wan Lei naturally knew what she wanted to say, so he just waved his hands with difficulty and said: "Fire, artillery exchange,
The transaction will continue as usual, as long as, ahem..."
"Oh, you're not cured, so don't get involved in worldly affairs." Seeing that Wan Lei was coughing again, Zhao Xueer hurriedly came over to help him pat his back.
"Master Wan is still seriously ill, so I won't bother you. It won't be too late to talk about the artillery deal in the future." Seeing that Wan Lei looked like he was about to die, Liu Wan didn't want to talk anymore.
However, Wan Lei waved his hand with difficulty and said: "As long as the food arrives, you can take it."
"Young master, let's recover first. We can talk about these little things later." Liu Wan smiled slightly and said goodbye, because she had already received Wan Lei's "instructions". If Tie Xuan dared to obstruct him, she would have an excuse.
"Brother Quanzhong, see the guests off." Zhao Xueer wanted to "take care of" Wan Lei, so she had to let Zhao Quanzhong see the guests off for her. At the end, she forgot to whisper to Liu Wan: "Sister, go back first. Later, sister will take the time to come and thank you."
"It's just a small effort, thank you very much. Sister Xue'er is so polite, it's too unreasonable. Okay, little lady, I won't disturb the young master's rest, let's go first."
After watching Liu Wan go away, Zhao Xueer got up and closed the door. At this time, Zhang Yan, who had been sitting in the back hall, also came out. Wan Lei sat up from the bed, still looking sick as before, but with a dark cloud on his face.
Still densely packed.
"It's so tiring to pretend to be crazy." Zhao Xueer sat down on the bed and complained.
"Have you learned anything?" Wan Lei asked.
"What's there to learn from pretending to be a ghost?" Zhao Xueer rolled her eyes at Wan Lei with disdain.
"I mean, what did you learn from Liu Wan?"
"Ah, she is just a bad woman who goes around attracting bees and butterflies. There is nothing to learn from her." Zhao Xueer said even more disdainfully.
"The so-called three people walking together must have our teacher. It is the wise man who learns the skills of the enemy and defeats the enemy. You only see other people's shortcomings and do not see their strengths. As a secret agent, Miss Liu is a qualified agent.
, not only her words and deeds, but also her dealings with others do not reveal her identity. This is worth learning. If we have astute and capable agents like her in the future, what else will we worry about being unable to accomplish? "
"What's the use of being smart and strong? We've just caught you out." Zhao Xueer was still unconvinced.
"She was not found out by us, but exposed to us by herself. If Mrs. Liu didn't tell us, we really wouldn't be able to find out her identity. You must learn from her in the future. I hope you can be the elder brother."
Here is the commander of our Shenlong Guard."
"What is the Dragon Guard? What an unpleasant name. If you ask me, it should be called Jing Zhong Guard, which means serving the country with loyalty and loyalty. In addition, Sister Zhang's ability is many times stronger than mine, so it is more appropriate for her to be the commander." Zhao Xueer hurriedly said.
road.
After hearing Zhao Xueer's words, Zhang Yan, who had always been silent, shook her head repeatedly and pointed at her mouth, expressing that she was inconvenient in speaking and could not take on such a big responsibility.
Wan Lei shrugged and said: "Don't talk about this now. Now that we have determined that Liu Wan is the spy who went out privately last night, let's look for clues on her first. You immediately organize people to monitor her day and night. By the way.
, just follow her from a distance and don’t let her find out."
"I understand, you can rest assured when I do things." Zhao Xueer assured her by repeatedly patting her chest. Of course, she was not blind and natural, because she had dozens of little gangsters under her command, and no one would suspect these little gangsters running around the streets. And she
He also gave them some pointers and told them how to follow others without being discovered. These little devils learned quickly, and in just a while they learned how to follow multiple people in separate groups, which prevented them from being discovered to the greatest extent.
Zhao Xueer left happily, and Wan Lei asked Zhang Yan who stayed behind: "What did you find?"
Zhang Yan took out a small paper bag and handed it to Wan Lei, and wrote on the small blackboard: "This was scraped off that person's shoe."
Wan Lei took out a magnifying glass and carefully looked at the small bag of soil on the soles of his feet for a while. He found that there were a lot of fine cinders on it, as well as some lime powder and loess. While thinking about it, he handed the magnifying glass to
Zhang Yan, ask her to come and take a look and serve as a consultant.
The reason why Wan Lei asked Zhang Yan to scrape the soles of Liu Wan's shoes was because he could conclude that Fu Wei was definitely not hidden inside the city, but outside the city. Liu Wan walked at night last night, probably out of the city. As for the purpose,
She was probably going to see the hostage, so while following her secretly, she also had to find out where she went last night so as to find out Fu Wei's whereabouts.
Zhang Yan also looked at it carefully for a while, and used a small camera to pick out some small black particles, and finally wrote on the blackboard: "She came from the east of the city."
"I think so too." Wan Lei affirmed, because there is a lime mine in the east of the city, and the way to transport the ash into the city is full of ash. As for the cinder on the soles, it was stained in the city, because it is for the purpose of urban roads.
The streets and alleys of Beiping City were leveled and paved with cinders.
"The area east of the city is so large that it's hard to find traces," Zhang Yan wrote again.
"Take Chi Xin and others out of the city to conduct a drag-net investigation, focusing on those abandoned villages and towns, compare the composition of the soil, mark out suspicious areas, and then focus on investigation."
"A large-scale search will only alert the enemy," Zhang Yan wrote worriedly.
"Just use finding auspicious points for my wife as an excuse. By the way, take my handwritten letter and go to Battalion Commander Zhang of the city defense army and ask him to mobilize a hundred people to assist in the search operation." Wan Lei said, with a stroke of his pen.
He wrote down a password and stamped it with the party seal that he has always been in charge of.
This party constitution is amazing. All party members who see it must obey it unconditionally, and its effectiveness is comparable to the emperor's imperial edict. Of course, Wan Lei doesn't use this power easily, but now that something has happened, he has to use it.
Zhang Yan saw that Wan Lei had already made excuses, so she didn't offer any more opinions. She had to put away the paper order, took the paper bag and left in a hurry. Wan Lei lay back on the bed and called it bed rest.
In fact, he was secretly thinking about various countermeasures and waiting for news from Zhao and Zhang.
Zhang Yan left Wan Lei's bedroom and quickly found Chi Xin and others. She mentioned to them about finding the auspicious point. They only left Miao Yi at home to take care of them. The others immediately put down what they were doing and followed Zhang Yan.
Heading to the military camp. When Battalion Commander Zhang of the City Defense Army saw the order, he simply compared the seal on it and found it was correct, so he dispatched a hundred-man team specializing in reconnaissance and gave it to Zhang Yan to command.
The Peking Army's military discipline is also strict. The officers and soldiers have always been relatively disciplined. No one disobeys orders because Zhang Yan is an ugly woman and a mute. Zhang Yan did not give them any embarrassing orders. She just ordered them
Divide into five groups, each group in one direction, to investigate the designated area.
Of course, the excuses were all ready. Zhang Yan told these top soldiers: Mr. Wan dreamed of his wife and said that he wanted to choose an auspicious place for burial. The so-called auspicious place is a place with loess on the surface and not far from the city.
It is not difficult to find loess. The five teams of scouts set off without saying a word. Of course, Zhang Yan was looking for loess, and it was exposed loess, because the roads in the city were paved with cinders.
The loess on the soles of Liu Wan's shoes must have been stained outside the city.
Due to a war not long ago, a large area of cultivated land in the east of the city was trampled by the army. It is now barren and covered with weeds. There is very little exposed land surface, and large areas of exposed yellow land are even rarer. Zhang Yan and his party walked along a road.
The lime official road goes eastward, and after about two miles, we come to a small village called Zhangjiaji.
Due to years of military disasters and no one living in it, this small village has long been in ruins. Weeds are growing among the ruins, making it look extremely desolate. Zhang Yan stood on her horse and looked into the distance for a while, and saw a broken wall.
The last pile of loess caught her attention because it was new. Judging from the growth of the grass, it was just piled up not long ago.
Zhang Yan waved her hand and signaled her subordinates to rest on the spot. She dismounted and walked slowly to the pile of loess. After searching carefully for a while, she found that there were indeed a few shallow shoe prints on the ground. She took out a
When I compared the paper with the two shoe prints on it, I was immediately overjoyed, because these shoe prints were consistent with Liu Wan's shoe prints, which meant that Liu Wan passed by here last night.
Leaving the main road alone and digging into ruins is certainly not a personal hobby. Maybe Liu Wan's secret base is nearby. When she thought of this level, Zhang Yan calmed down and looked expressionless.
She left the loess pile, returned to the crowd, and ordered them to rest on the spot. She first went back to the city to get some detection tools.
Of course, Zhang Yan returned to the city not to get any tools, but to report back to Wan Lei and ask for instructions on the next move. She knew that the closer she got to the enemy's secret lair, the more careful she had to be, because one wrong move could alert the enemy.
It may even make the kidnappers jump over the wall. If the hostage is killed, all previous efforts will be in vain.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west. Wan Lei was taking a nap in bed. Suddenly he heard a long and short knock on the door. He immediately jumped up from the bed, because this was the code he had agreed with Zhang Yan, but the door had just opened.
