"You don't have to follow me. You can find a place to eat by yourself." Wang Kangnian ordered the men who were following him.
"yes!"
Wang Kangnian rubbed his hands and entered the mutton soup restaurant at the entrance of the alley.
The owner of the mutton soup restaurant is from Wu County, Suzhou. They use library mutton. The mutton bones have been stewed for half a day. The mutton soup is milky white. Add potato noodles, sprinkle with chopped green onion or coriander, and then cut it on a plate.
Cold lamb, fried with spicy sauce, is simply a delicacy in this cold weather.
"Shopkeeper, a bowl of mutton soup, half a catty of mutton, and two sesame seed cakes."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, please wait a moment." Seeing that it was Captain Wang of the Detective Brigade, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him warmly.
Wang Kangnian doesn't like others to call him Captain Wang, so he can be called Mr. Wang.
After a while, the food was served.
Wang Kangnian took a sip of the milky white mutton soup and felt a warmth spreading in his stomach. He felt so comfortable all over.
I took two pieces of mutton and rolled them in the spicy sauce, stuffed them into my mouth, and then took a big bite of the sesame seeds. My taste buds were fully satisfied.
Then, he felt a little sad. If Xiaosi was still alive, he would definitely be nagging him to persuade him to eat less spicy food.
Wang Kangnian ate neither fast nor slowly.
He enjoys the time of enjoying delicious food. He really likes to sit here and eat delicious food quietly, watching the people coming and going in the streets quietly. This will make him feel a great sense of security and feel that he
Still alive.
"Sullivan! Fragrant Sullivan!" the vendor on his bicycle shouted as he bounced past.
Wang Kangnian glanced at the back of the hawker riding away. He was a hawker selling Sullivan's bread. He came to this alley to sell bread almost at this time every day. It was rain or shine and there was nothing suspicious about it.
This person's business mainly focuses on children after school. Children who have been to school for a day are empty in their bellies and hungry. If they have some pocket money in their pockets, they will be transferred to the vendors selling Sullivan's bread.
About a quarter of an hour later, a vendor wearing a worn-out felt hat entered the alley carrying a wonton load.
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk, the vendor banged his bamboo tube to signal his arrival to regular customers.
Soon, the regular customers who know that he is here at this time will gather around, you have a bowl, I have a bowl, business is very good.
…
"Have a bowl of wontons, put more shrimp skin in the soup." Ou Yingchun lowered the cap on his head and came closer and said.
While talking, he put the wonton money in the hawker's iron box.
"okay."
Sure enough, the vendor put in a little more shrimp skin, really a little more, about three or five more shrimp skin.
Ou Yingchun took the soup bowl, took another spoon, and squatted on the ground to eat and drink.
First, he drank half a bowl of wonton soup in one go. The soup went down his stomach and warmed up his whole body.
Then I started eating wontons, almost wolfing down two in one bite.
Just like that, he finished the wontons quickly, and then drank the remaining half bowl of wonton soup. He tilted his neck and poured almost the last drop of soup in the soup bowl into his stomach, and then raised his sleeves.
Wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Put the bowl and spoon here." Ou Yingchun stood up and said, then subconsciously looked up and met someone's eyes.
He was completely stunned, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Rubbing her eyes to make sure she saw it correctly, Ou Yingchun turned around and ran away.
"Catch him!" Wang Kangnian shouted. He never expected to see Xiao Ou, the Xiao Ou who he sent to Yanzhou to lurk. There was no news from him later. He thought he had died at the hands of the Red Party.
Xiaoou.
The men who were smoking in a sheltered corner not far away rushed up upon hearing the sound, directly blocked Xiao Ou's path, and aimed their guns at him.
Seeing someone pulling out a gun, the vendors and diners were frightened, but they did not panic. The vendors quickly and methodically put away their bowls, picked up their burdens and hid away, and the diners also quickly dispersed and stayed away.
He still held the soup bowl in his hand and just stuffed wontons into his mouth.
In this kind of world, no one knows whether they can survive until tomorrow. Sooner or later, they will die, so they can't treat their own belly badly.
"Don't shoot." Wang Kangnian shouted quickly.
Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, Xiao Ou did not dare to make the slightest move to cause misunderstanding. He looked at Wang Kangnian who came out of the mutton soup restaurant and walked slowly with a bitter look on his face. Xiao Ou became even more frightened and restless.
"Don't you recognize me?" Wang Kangnian coughed, smiled and asked in a calm tone.
"Team leader..." Xiao Ou forced out a smile.
"When did you return to Shanghai? Why didn't you come to see me, an old officer?" Wang Kangnian coughed twice again. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth. Then he glared at Xiao Ou, "Why are you so miserable? A bowl of
The wontons taste like dragon meat."
…
Plainclothes detective in the central patrol room, detective's office.
Cardinal Zhao was looking through a document when Bianjian opened the door and came in, "Brother, the second wife is here."
Cardinal Zhao raised his head and saw Zhang Ping, whose face was wrapped in a scarf, twisting her waist and walking in.
Shuli Zhao's eyes were fixed on his concubine's scarf, which was a purple-red scarf.
"Why are you here?" Shu Li seemed very happy and stepped forward to help Zhang Ping untie her scarf. Then he saw that Zhang Ping's cheek seemed to be blue.
"What's the matter with the injury on the face?" Cardinal Zhao asked immediately.
"Don't mention it." Zhang Ping looked pitiful, "When I was shopping today, a little brat suddenly rushed out to grab my bag and knocked me down. My face was bruised."
Zhang Ping sat down on the chair and cursed angrily, "Xiao Zha San, damn Xiao Chi Lao, don't let me..."
She looked at Cardiff Zhao and said, "You are still a detective. Even your own woman's bags can be robbed."
"That's unreasonable!" Shuli Zhao's face dropped, and he shouted outside, "Bianjian!"
"Brother, I'm here." The door was pushed open immediately, and the flat head poked out.
"Before tomorrow morning, I want to see the person who snatched the bag and the second wife's bag that was robbed." Cardinal Zhao said in a deep voice.
"Understood." Bianjian stood at attention, saluted, smiled at the second wife, turned and walked away.
"Niang Ren, get away and stop eavesdropping." Shu Li Zhao scolded, "I'm not doing anything to eavesdrop on your mother-in-law!"
"Brother, it's nothing."
Seeing Bianjian close the door and leave as if running away, Councilor Zhao couldn't help but cursed, "Old Xiao Chi!"
"It's not in vain that I followed you." Seeing that her man was venting his anger on her, Zhang Ping nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Shuli Zhao charmingly.
Cardinal Zhao walked to the door and suddenly opened the office door. When he saw that no one was eavesdropping outside, he nodded with satisfaction and cursed, "Those guys know what they are doing."
Then, after closing the door and turning around, Governor Zhao's expression became extremely serious and he nodded towards Zhang Ping.
According to the agreement between the two of them, if Zhang Ping wore this purple scarf and came to the patrol room to find him, it would definitely be an urgent matter.
"There is a very important meeting in the organization today." Zhang Ping said in a low voice.
"In terms of organization..." Shuli Zhao was shocked and took a deep look at Zhang Ping. Although he had already guessed that Zhang Ping had returned to the organization, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention this matter.
He knew that the organization should have been secretly screening and investigating him, but now, Zhang Ping suddenly said this directly, which made Shuli Zhao feel nervous and expectant. This meant that the organization had initially passed the screening of him and was already accepting him.
He trusts him.
"What do you need me to do?" Cardinal Zhao asked immediately.
His first reaction was that the organization needed him to escort this important meeting.
"I have been ordered by the organization to inform you." Zhang Ping looked at her comrades, her eyes flashing with excitement, her lips parted slightly, and she whispered, "Please invite Comrade Zhao to attend this meeting."
After hearing this, Shu Li Zhao was stunned for a moment, his whole body tensed up, then he looked at Zhang Ping, and when he saw Zhang Ping nodding, Shu Li Zhao suddenly relaxed.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Ping with somewhat red eyes, "I want, I want to go home?"
"Yes, go home." Zhang Ping nodded vigorously.
…
Ou Yingchun was sitting on a chair. Although he was not tied up, two tall detective team members stood on both sides of him, staring at him warily. If he had any intention of acting rashly, he would be arrested immediately.
subdue.
Wang Kangnian crossed his hands and fingers on his desk, with a cold expression on his face, and kept staring at Xiao Ou with a scrutinizing gaze.
"So, it's me who has caused you trouble?" Wang Kangnian said coldly.
Xiao Ou had already ‘confessed’ just now.
Xiao Ou was transferred from Xi'an by the Central Unification Bureau and sent to Shanghai to engage in covert work.
There are three reasons why Xiaoou was selected:
First, Xiao Ou himself came from the Shanghai Station of the Party Affairs Investigation Office. He is very familiar with Shanghai and meets the requirements for lurking.
Secondly, Xiao Ou was a weakling in Xi'an. It was so dangerous to lurk in the enemy-occupied area. Unlucky things naturally happened to a weakling like Xiao Ou.
Thirdly, Xiao Ou was Wang Kangnian's subordinate at that time. He followed the Japanese. Naturally, Xiao Ou was ostracized and even distrusted within the Central Unification Committee.
Therefore, Xiao Ou is the perfect candidate for the job of sending someone to death.
Xiao Ou raised his head and glanced at the old officer, wanting to say something, but in the end he sighed and lowered his head.
"You are no different from before." Wang Kangnian suddenly cursed, "There's no point in punishing me. Niang Ren, you've given up everything."
As he said this, Wang Kangnian shook his head.
"When my subordinates saw you, team leader, I became frightened and confused. I said everything out loud." Xiao Ou said with a sad face.
"Coward." Wang Kangnian cursed again, "What are your plans for the future?"
Xiao Ou shook his head and sighed, looking like he was hopeless.
"Speak." Wang Kangnian raised his voice and scolded.
"Team leader, I guess, you, you won't kill me, right?" Xiao Ou asked cautiously.
Wang Kangnian looked at his former subordinates, a little speechless, and at the same time he felt a little nostalgic.
This guy was a fool. He had been trying to hide in front of him before and always said, "Guess, team leader." It was precisely for this reason that he annoyed Xiao Ou so much that he even arranged for Xiao Ou to go to Yanzhou to lurk.
Unexpectedly, two or three years have passed. Xiao Ou's partner Bai Pang escaped, Ding Naifei died, and Xiao Si died. These old subordinates were so dead and injured that they could not escape, but there was not much left.
It was Xiao Ou who was able to return to Shanghai alive and kicking.
"Didn't I order you to lurk in Yanzhou?" Wang Kangnian asked.
"I suspected that they had discovered me, so I ran out overnight." Xiao Ou said with a grimace. "The commander in Xi'an called me a coward and a waste. He said that the Red Party did not suspect me and that I made a mistake."
‘You are really a fucking loser’!
Wang Kangnian glared at his former subordinate and became very angry.
However, after seeing Xiao Ou's desolate appearance and thinking that even a bowl of wontons looked like delicacies to this guy, I couldn't help but feel a bit of compassion in my heart. After all, he was his old subordinate.
Of course, the most important thing is that many of the old subordinates around him are dead, injured, and have fled. Now there is indeed a shortage of people under his command. To be fair, Xiao Ou, apart from his dislike of selling things, his professional ability is still good.
of.
Regardless of the fact that Xiao Ou escaped from Yanzhou because of fear, this kid was able to lurk in Yanzhou for nearly a year, which is not easy in itself.
"Chongqing doesn't treat you as a human being." Wang Kangnian threw a cigarette to Xiao Ou, "Why didn't you think of coming over and continuing to fuck me?"
"Team leader, I, I..." Xiao Ou raised his head and glanced at Wang Kangnian, "I thought about coming here, but I was afraid that I would die a good death if I became a traitor."
"Beat him!" Wang Kangnian was stunned for a moment, then got angry, pointed at Xiao Ou and cursed, "Beat him!"
As he said this, Wang Kangnian became angrier as he thought about it, "beat him hard."
As he said that, he glanced at Xiao Ou with a complicated expression, "After beating him, let's find him a body."
"Don't fight, don't fight." Xiao Ou screamed, "Team leader, I'll do it with you, I'll do it with you, the Japanese are great, and the team leader has a good eye, I will follow you to get the most popular and spicy food."
Wang Kangnian didn't shout to stop, and the two detective team members didn't dare to stop either. The two of them gave Xiao Ou a good beating.
Wang Kangnian snorted coldly and waved his hand.
Only then did the two detective team members stop. One of them smiled and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Ou, "Brother, welcome home."
…
There was a buzzing sound coming from the alley. It was the dumpling vendor tapping the bamboo tube.
After the hawker walked away, Zhao Shuli and Zhang Ping walked out of the shadows in the alley. They came to the door of a Shikumen residence. They looked at the surrounding situation vigilantly. After confirming that there was no danger, Zhang Ping stepped forward and gently
Knocked on the door.
"who?"
"It's me, Sixth Sister."
"I don't have any relatives named Liu."
"It's the six of Liuliu Dashun."
The door opened.
Due to the poor visibility at night and the angle, Shuli Zhao did not see clearly who was behind the door. He only felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
Zhang Ping went in first.
Shuli Zhao also followed and ducked in.
Then he saw Lao Huang looking at him with a smile.
Looking over again, beside Lao Huang, there turned out to be Lu Dazhang from Xiafei Road. This man was looking over with a smile on his face.
Shuli Zhao felt his forehead was hot:
Damn it, is this a trap?
He subconsciously touched the gun at his waist.
However, the hand stopped halfway.
Because he saw that Zhang Ping didn't look panicked at all, but looked at him with a smile.
He believed in Zhang Ping.
"Inspector Zhao, please." Lao Huang, an old drunkard, stretched out his hand to invite him with a smile on his face.
