Jiang Bin rolled down the window and greeted: "Qi Yue, get in the car!"
Qi Yue opened the door and got in the car.
The car drove towards Fujiadian.
en route.
"Jiang Bin, let me talk for a while?"
"Can you drive?"
“I’ve been learning it for a long time, but I just haven’t had the chance to get started.”
"Who did you learn it from?"
"Every time I go out to handle a case, I sit in the front. I get better at it after seeing too much."
"Self-taught..."
"Is that okay?"
"This is no joke. Don't drive your car into a ditch."
"Don't worry, I'm sure."
"Find a place with few people..."
On a section of road with few vehicles and pedestrians, the two swapped places.
The car drove for a while and was very smooth.
Qi Yue asked: "Is it okay to drive?"
Jiang Bin said: "Well, it's great to be able to drive like this for the first time... Hey, hey, slow down when cornering. It's easy to roll over if you go too fast."
Half an hour later.
The car entered Fujiadian.
"Pull over, slow down first, shift into gear, yes, slow down, yes, okay! Stop!"
Jiang Bin kept gesticulating, but he just had to step on the brakes.
The car stopped, Qi Yue asked: "Why are you parking? We haven't arrived yet."
"There are many people and cars here, so I'd better drive."
Jiang Bin was not in a hurry to leave and took out a cigarette from his pocket to signal Qi Yue.
Qi Yue waved his hand: "You can smoke it."
Jiang Bin lit the cigarette and took a puff, looking around aimlessly.
Qi Yue asked: "Why don't you leave?"
Jiang Bin glanced at his watch: "Waiting for someone."
"Who are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the mouse."
"Rat?"
"Um."
Qi Yue didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, a sly-looking guy stretched his neck and looked over.
Jiang Bin rolled down the window and waved to him.
The guy walked quickly this way.
Qi Yue asked: "Who is this person?"
Jiang Bin said: "One of my spies is nicknamed Mouse. Do you think he looks like a mouse?"
Qi Yue looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "It does look a bit like it."
Jiang Bin said: "Don't underestimate him. He is a know-it-all in this area. He can find out every detail. He knows things that the police don't know."
While he was talking, Mouse approached the car, nodded and bowed with a smile on his face: "Brother Jiang."
Jiang Bin asked: "Have you found out?"
Mouse said: "Basically, we are inseparable."
"Tell me, why are we so inseparable?"
"He has a sweetheart who lives near Anbu Street, so he hid here. I guess his sweetheart must know where he is."
"Are you sure?"
"Someone saw him going to Widow Ma's house in the middle of the night. How could it be related?"
"What's the name of the horse widow?"
"Ma Yuying."
"Where does she live?"
"Forehead……"
The mouse chuckled.
Jiang Bin took out his wallet, counted out a few bills and handed them to the mouse: "That's all for now."
Mouse smiled brightly and stuffed the banknotes into his arms: "In the Anbu Street Fishing Market, the second one you enter from the east is the second store. That woman is kind and righteous, and her popularity is quite good."
Jiang Bin said: "If anything happens here, keep an eye out for me. It's in your interest."
The mouse agreed: "If there is nothing else, I will go back."
Jiang Bin nodded.
The mouse took two steps, thought for a while, and turned back: "Brother Jiang, I heard that the two people who were shooting at the police a few days ago are Communists. Do you need me to ask about this?"
Jiang Bin said: "There are so many Communists, they are probably bandits from the mountains."
Mouse scratched his head: "The one who was beaten to death, some people said he looked a bit like He Wenbao..."
"Who is He Wenbao?"
"I grew up in Hejiagou without a father or a mother, and lived by begging. Later I heard that I went up to the mountains and became a beard."
"Since you have become a beard, why do you say you are a communist?"
"Some said he was a beard, and some said he joined the Anti-League..."
"Okay, please pay more attention to this matter. Remember, it is a big case involving the Communist Party. If there is any information, inform me as soon as possible. Don't let the news leak out!"
"I understand, I understand. We are spies and we must be strict with our mouths. We can't be like old ladies who just know something and go around talking nonsense."
"That's right, spies must keep their mouth shut. Go and do your work."
"Then I'm leaving."
The mouse shrank his neck, wrapped himself tightly in his cotton-padded jacket and walked down the street.
Watching the mouse go away, Jiang Bin glanced at Qi Yue and asked, "How am I doing as a secret agent?"
Qi Yue said: "It's not bad, but I talk a bit too much."
Jiang Bin smiled: "This guy is really arrogant..."
Ten minutes later.
The car arrived at the Anbu Street Fishing Market.
Jiangyan Pier is nearby, and fishermen used to live here.
The two got out of the car and entered the alley from the east.
The house of Widow Ma's house was very dilapidated, but the yard was not small. A little boy with red cheeks stood at the door, staring at the two strangers who came in.
Qi Yue asked: "Are your adults at home?"
The boy turned around and ran into the house, shouting: "Mom, someone is coming!"
There was a woman sitting cross-legged on the bed in the room.
Judging from her age, she is only in her early thirties, but her expression seems to have experienced the vicissitudes of the world.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Are you Ma Yuying?"
"right."
"We are the police."
Qi Yue took out his ID and shook it.
When she heard it was the police, Ma Yuying looked nervous: "What do you want from me?"
Jiang Bin said: "Where is the civet cat?"
Ma Yuying swallowed and said, "What a civet cat? I don't know it."
Jiang Bin sneered: "I stayed at your place two days ago, but I don't know you today. What a fool?"
Ma Yuying frowned: "Officer, please don't talk nonsense, I am a widow..."
Jiang Bin interrupted her: "If you don't want to say anything, then come with us."
Ma Yuying jumped up from the kang and shouted: "Why, can the police arrest people at will?"
Jiang Bin slapped his handcuffs on the table and shouted sternly: "These are the two things you need to harbor and protect fugitives!"
Ma Yuying hugged the child and said nothing.
Qi Yue whispered to Jiang Bin in a low voice: "The child is her weakness."
Jiang Bin nodded and continued: "Ma Yuying, let me advise you, don't carry it. You can't carry it. It's not easy for you to be an orphan and a widowed mother. We don't want to do anything too bad. Just tell us,
Wherever the civet cat is, I promise that I will never embarrass you two."
When the child was mentioned, Ma Yuying's psychological defense suddenly collapsed. She was silent for a while and whispered: "I don't know what the civet cat is. He said his name is Li Yingjie..."
"Where is he?"
"I really don't know...but I heard him mention it once that his home is behind Daotai Mansion."
"What's the house number?"
"He didn't say."
With a name and an address, the case is basically clear.
After leaving Ma Yuying's house and just walking out of the alley, Jiang Bin reached out and touched his waist: "It's broken. I forgot the handcuffs at Widow Ma's house. I have to go back to get them."
Qi Yue said: "If you leave me alone, why did you take off the handcuffs?"
"I originally wanted to scare her, but I forgot before leaving. Wait for me in the car..."
