There is a "Today's Inventory" sign hanging on the door.
There was no one in the restaurant.
The clerk Ah Fu has gone out, and now Wang Chunlin is the only one in the store. He is sitting at the counter, carefully recording his expenses in the recent period.
These are the funds for Zhongtong's activities. The financial details must be clear so that they can be reviewed by superiors afterwards. Words that cannot be written in plain language, such as guns and ammunition, are generally replaced with code words.
A man carrying a load on his shoulders and wearing a bamboo hat stepped in.
Wang Chunlin raised his head and glanced, thinking it was a customer coming to eat, so he said: "Sorry, the shop is closed this afternoon for inventory."
The man in the bamboo hat accompanied him with a smile: "The boss's business is booming, let's make a lot of money. Do you want to take a look at the best seasonings? The price is guaranteed to be the lowest, and it can be cheaper if you buy more, aniseed, pepper, dried chili..."
"No, no, I didn't see the inventory sign."
Wang Chunlin said impatiently.
The man in a bamboo hat came closer and whispered: "Brother Chunlin, you are fine."
Wang Chunlin was stunned when he heard this and looked at the other person up and down.
The man in the bamboo hat took off the bamboo hat that blocked half of his face.
He is in his mid-thirties, has a dark red face, a shaved head, and piercing eyes.
Wang Chunlin said in surprise: "Brother Ying Xin..."
The man in the hat made a silencing gesture.
Wang Chunlin said: "It's okay, I'm the only one in the store. Brother Ying Xin, am I not dreaming?"
The man in the hat said with a smile: "It's broad daylight, and all I'm doing is daydreaming..."
Li Yingxin, the famous man in the hat, and Wang Chunlin were both veteran agents from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and they had not seen each other for five or six years.
"Headquarters sent me here this time, firstly, to coordinate the Tianlei plan, and secondly, to eliminate internal spies!"
Li Yingxin briefly explained his intention.
He put down the pick, took out various condiments and placed them on the counter: "If anyone comes in, just say we are discussing the price of condiments."
Wang Chunlin asked: "What did you mean by clearing out the traitors just now?"
Li Yingxin said: "Ah Shui is a communist!"
"Ah Shui, is he a communist?"
Wang Chunlin's eyes widened in surprise.
Li Yingxin said: "It's absolutely true. Someone has seen him in the General Affairs Section of the Special Section of the Communist Party of China."
"I can't believe that Ah Shui is actually a member of the Communist Party..."
Wang Chunlin murmured.
Li Yingxin said: "You don't need to do anything, I will deal with him."
Wang Chunlin said: "There is no need to solve it."
"..."
"Ah Shui is dead."
"died?"
"right."
Wang Chunlin briefly told the story.
Li Yingxin nodded and said: "So that's it. I just came to Binjiang and I don't know much about the situation... This is good, it saves a lot of trouble."
Wang Chunlin was silent and slowly examined the condiments in his hands. There was a traitor in the action team, and his team leader must also be under investigation.
From the current point of view, there should be nothing wrong for the time being.
Otherwise, Li Yingxin would not come to find him.
Li Yingxin saw his thoughts and said: "Chunlin, don't have any worries. As far as I know, the headquarters still trusts you very much."
Wang Chunlin said: "I know what to do."
Li Yingxin said: "The other thing is that on the issue of traitors, the headquarters requires that we must eradicate the root causes and never cause future troubles!"
Wang Chunlin asked: "What does it mean to cut off the grass and root out the roots?"
Li Yingxin said: "Anyone introduced by Ah Shui to join the Central Unification Committee will be eliminated, such as those two active members of the Three Youth League."
Wang Chunlin thought for a while: "What are the higher ups planning to do with them?"
Li Yingxin said: "Expelled and never hired!"
Wang Chunlin nodded: "It's okay, the two of them are too impatient..."
The door curtain was raised, and Ah Fu, sweating profusely, walked in carrying a vegetable basket.
Li Yingxin put on his bamboo hat and said in a low voice: "Boss, these seasonings are genuine and cheap. Buy some of them."
Wang Chunlin whispered: "He is one of our own."
"In case of emergency, place two blue bricks on the left side of the door and I will find a way to contact you. Also, do not reveal my identity to anyone."
Li Yingxin deliberately lowered his hat.
Ah Fu came closer and said to Wang Chunlin: "Uncle, the fish today are very fresh. They weigh more than three kilograms. They only cost seventy cents in total..."
As he spoke, he winked at Wang Chunlin.
"Let me take a look. Don't let the fishmonger fool you."
Wang Chunlin followed him into the kitchen.
Ah Fu opened the curtain and took a look outside.
Li Yingxin slowly packed his picks.
Wang Chunlin said: "Don't worry about him, let's do it for you."
Ah Fu was worried and whispered in Hunanese: "I heard about it. I don't know why. The Secret Service arrested a man named Wang Liansheng."
Wang Chunlin asked: "What does Wang Liansheng do?"
"A detective from the National Police Agency."
"Why arrest him?"
"Not sure."
"Where did the news come from?"
"Sai Yuhuan, a girl from Ji who lives in the Still Waters Deeply Studying House, knows Wang Liansheng."
"okay, I get it."
Wang Chunlin turned around to go out.
Ah Fu quickly said: "There is one more thing..."
Wang Chunlin asked: "What's the matter?"
"I just met Zhao Yuru and Dangdang on the street. They seemed to have had a quarrel. Neither of them spoke. Dangdang went to Qi Yue's house. I felt that something was not right. I stared at it secretly for a while. After a while, Dangdang looked at that person.
A little black dog was taken out, but after a few steps, the little black dog broke away and ran back again. Dangdang stood in the alley for a while, went to the street to buy chicken livers and then went back..."
Wang Chunlin asked: "Where is Zhao Yuru?"
"It seems like he went back directly..."
Afu is not sure either.
He couldn't care about both of them by himself, so he could only choose to follow one of them.
Li Yingxin carried the burden and left the restaurant.
…
No. 14 Huaihua Lane.
"Why didn't you leave?"
Qi Yue asked Dangdang.
"Miss plans to go back, but she hasn't left yet..."
Dangdang explained.
Qi Yue said: "Oh, I understand, you are going to take the black girl back."
Dangdang was in a low mood: "I would like to, but Hei Niu refuses to go with me. Forget it, since she likes it here, let her stay. Alas, please ask Dongliushui, don't you want to be with me?"
Qi Yue smiled and said: "From ancient times to the present, you are the first person to call a dog king."
Dangdang said: "Being sincere and magnanimous is a gentleman, but looking at the world, how many people can truly be sincere and magnanimous? I'm afraid there are only a few, but they are dogs. They never pretend, so why not call them gentlemen?"
Qi Yue nodded: "It makes some sense."
Dangdang stood up: "I'm going back, and I won't come back again."
Qi Yue asked: "Where did you study?"
Dangdang said: "I have never read a book... I am usually taught by the lady."
The servant girl was born in a poor family and had no chance to go to school. However, Dangdang's speech and behavior looked more like she had received formal education.
