Spy sea wind and thunder

Chapter 272 Xia Tuo
Go out early the next day.

At this time the sun has not yet emerged, the weather is cool.

Joining Long Hao, the two bought breakfast, and each rode a bicycle to the foreman's house. It didn't take long for them to ride with one hand and eat with the other.

The two got up early.

But the busy people in the mountain city got up earlier.

The aunt who just bought breakfast chatted and found out that they have been out for more than an hour.

The two came to the door of the foreman's house. At this time, they could see the lights on inside, which showed that they had already started to pack up and prepare to go out, and they came at the right time.

This foreman has some ability.

Although he was also born as a coolie, he has completed the transformation of his identity.

The houses I live in now are also very nice, and they are all electrified.

Long Hao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

During the period, voices of inquiry sounded.

But he opened the door without waiting for an answer, as if the inquiry was just a promise, so that the people outside the door would know that he was coming to open the door.

The foreman is about 35 years old.

The body is relatively strong.

In fact, it stands to reason that it is a blessing.

It's just that he was born as a coolie and has a lot of strength in his body, so he is naturally a lean figure.

After becoming a foreman, you don't have to work hard.

The food is also good.

Getting fat is inevitable.

But because the foundation is here, compared to other people's middle-aged fat, he can only be said to be strong.

Kong Wu powerful feeling.

But the character and figure do not match, very shrewd.

As soon as he opened the door and saw Long Hao, an acquaintance, he was a little surprised in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, and immediately changed his smiling face.

"What kind of wind brought the two officials here." Xia Tuo said enthusiastically.

The foreman's name is Xia Tuo.

But not by my real name.

Strictly speaking, he did not have a name. When he was a child, there were many poor children in his family, and the elders did not know what to name him.

So I have been called Siwa since I was a child.

Even surnames are rarely called.

Later, I worked very hard at the wharf, and was jokingly called one person worth four.

After that, he gradually improved a bit, and he always made Siwa look bad after dealing with people too much, so he named himself Xia Tuo.

This Buddha has nothing to do with Buddha.

Rather, it refers to uneven mountains, which are the same as the topography of a mountain city.

I don't know if it's just luck after the name change, but Xia Tuo went smoothly.

have been doing it to this day.

Although his experience does not say that the ups and downs are particularly great, after all, he is just a foreman.

But you have to understand Xia Tuo's starting point.

It is impossible for many people to complete the jump in a lifetime from such a starting point.

Class restrictions often accompany a lifetime.

Therefore, when Song Shutang first came into contact with Xia Tuo, he even began to doubt in his heart the relationship between Xia Tuo and Masada Kazuya.

Because he suspected that it was after Xia Tuo helped the spy that it would develop like this.

But upon investigation it turned out not to be.

After all, Masada Kazuya is so good at lurking and hiding, even if the neighbors around him don't know his identity, there is no need to tell Xia Tuo, it's just asking for trouble for himself.

The second is to help Xia Tuo develop.

Isn't it the same to find attention for yourself?
Not advisable.

So Xia Tuo can rely on himself to have what he is today.

After understanding this matter, Song Shutang lost interest in Xia Tuo.

But I never thought that we would meet again today.

"It took you a little time in the morning." Long Hao said.

"What's the matter, how can you say it's a delay, what do you need to order." Xia Tuo opened the door and let the two come in.

But he still has family at home.

Long Hao said that there is no need to go in, and he said the same outside.

Xia Tuo understood very well and didn't insist, and immediately yelled into the room, saying that he was going out to work.

Just go straight out of the house.

I didn't go back to change, eat something or something.

That's his shrewdness.

Can't fault it.

Xia Tuo is familiar with this place, so he naturally brought him to a place with few people.

There are also some stone benches to rest your feet on.

Naturally no one stayed here in the morning, Song Shutang and Long Hao just sat down here.

"Sit down too." Song Shutang said to Xia Tuo.

"I can just stand."

"Don't be nervous, I just ask you some things, you sit down and answer."

"If you have anything you want to ask, just ask, and you will know everything." Xia Tuo also sat down beside him.

Long Hao was in charge of asking: "We came to you to ask, which docks Hantou usually works at, and who are the workers who have more contact with Hantou."

It's still a stupid question to hear.

Xia Tuo immediately said: "I don't have any relationship with him. I just see him alone and a little dull. I feel sorry for him, so I often find him some work, but it doesn't mean that we have a good relationship."

"You don't need to explain these, just answer the questions." Long Hao knew that Xia Tuo was worried that he would get involved with Hantou.

"We don't go to Minsheng Wharf. Their company has its own workers who are responsible for loading and unloading cargo. It is not their company's ship that docks. Generally, they will choose to use their workers. Everyone gets what they need. So apart from Minsheng Except for the wharf and some government-owned wharves, we go wherever we need, but there are many workers at Shancheng Wharf. Although I have a lot of people under my command, it is impossible to get all the business in my pocket, so I concentrate more on the Yangtze River the pier.

The work of just seven or eight docks is enough to support us, so we don’t go to the docks by the Jialing River, and even if you go, you may not be able to get jobs. There are also people in charge of these jobs, so I said that at the time I was also quite surprised to go to the pier by the Jialing River to find a job. "Xia Tuo said at the end that he had nothing to do with Hantou.

In fact, Hantou went to the Jialing River Wharf at that time.

It was to use the distance from the Yangtze River to the Jialing River to judge whether the intelligence department followed him alone or multiple people.

Therefore, it can be judged that he is in danger.

Still locked.

Song Shutang and the others knew this in their hearts.

In the end, Hantou chose to store Dong XZ in the warehouse next to the Jialing River Wharf, probably out of surprise.

"Under normal circumstances, I don't go to the Jialing River Wharf. I'm worried that I won't be able to get a job. Can I get it if I go there?" Long Hao asked.

"Everyone knows about his situation. Although he is said to be a coolie, a person bent over and sweating to make a living, we are not narrow-minded people. We often actively participate in donation activities, just to donate money to fight devils.

Therefore, everyone is tolerant towards Hantou, and he also has the strength to work, so he is still a bit special. Who knows how to help, and finally helped a Japanese devil. "Xia Tuo gritted his teeth and expressed regret.

For his actions, both inside and outside the words, he expressed his innocence.

Long Hao didn't record it.

This is consistent with their investigation of Sha Tuo.

This man is so shrewd, a little clever.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sit in this seat.

It is now certain that Hantou seldom goes to the pier by the Jialing River.

Most are along the Yangtze River.

Then start asking the laborers who work at the wharf along the Yangtze River.

See if anyone has seen Hantou go in and out of places that don't match his temperament.

But the workers who work at the wharf along the Jialing River cannot be ignored, because it can be judged from Xia Tuo's words that Hantou still has a certain reputation.

You can't say that Hantou is not good at lurking.

On the contrary, it should be said that he lurks very well.

One can only hope that such popularity will allow people to see what he has done.

Thereby breaking the current impasse in the investigation.

Tear a hole.

So asking Xia Tuo was just to allow them to investigate the wharf by the Yangtze River first, and they couldn't give up investigating the wharf by the Jialing River. It didn't seem to be of any use.

But Song Shutang was very happy.

Because the more people who know Hantou, the more likely he will be seen.

This is good news.

After getting the answer they want, Song Shutang and Long Hao are ready to start the investigation.

This investigation work is not as good as that of the neighbors here.

It can be over in a short time.

It may take a few days, but both of them are looking forward to it.

Before parting, Song Shutang asked Xia Tuo: "Have you ever seen Hantou go in and out of any strange places, units, institutions, etc. It just doesn't match his living habits."

Xia Tuo in front of him was naturally also among the inquiries.

Now that we have met, of course I will ask directly.

Facing this question, Xia Tuo frowned and thought hard: "No."

"You can contact us later if you think of it." Long Hao said routinely.

"Don't worry, you two. I'll think about it when I get back. If I think about it, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

"That's it for today."

"Do you still need me to go to the pier with you?" Xia Tuo asked proactively.

"No need." Long Hao said.

Since it is a worker on the dock, he has to ask.

It doesn't matter whether Xia Tuo follows or not.

He would not be able to help, but would attract some attention.

Second, this person is smart.

I'm afraid that if we investigate together, we will be false in the future. After all, there are more people who don't know the truth.

It's not good to let Xia Tuo climb the pole.

After being rejected, Xia Tuo was indeed a little disappointed, but he left very simply.

If his purpose cannot be achieved, then he must not leave a bad impression on the other party.

After a short time of contact, Xia Tuo really behaved very decently.

"It's no wonder that this person can become a foreman. Now that he is older, he may have lost his drive, so he is content with the status quo. Otherwise, with his personality, he will have to go further." Long Hao said, looking at Xia Tuo's leaving back.

Song Shutang also turned his head away and said: "It's not that I'm old and content with the status quo, it's a troubled world, and it's better to hold on than to climb high."

As far as the current situation in the mountain city is concerned.

It is a common occurrence when being attacked by the Japanese army.

How many powerful and powerful people will die here.

Not all had time to hide in the air-raid shelter.

In terms of age, Xia Tuo is young and vigorous.

Just watch the times.

No need to drill camp.

It may be in vain to fetch water from the bamboo basket in the end, so it is better to guard one acre of three-point land.

Song Shutang and Long Hao came to the pier, holding a picture of Hantou and began to ask.

Most people do know Hantou.

At least I've heard of it.

But the effect of asking is not very good. After all, everyone is busy every day and doesn't go shopping much.

Don't say if Hantou will go somewhere.

Even if they go, they can't see it.

But this is only the first pier, there are still many piers behind, Song Shutang and the two are not in a hurry.

Just asked for a day.

It only ran three piers.

After all, there are many workers on the dock, so you have to ask.

Maybe the one person you missed is the key.

Since it is an investigation, don't be afraid of trouble.

Naturally, I go back to rest at night. After all, there are very few boats arriving at the pier at night, and the workers go home to rest.

If you go home one by one to inquire.

Then it would be a waste of time.

The time spent on the road alone is too much.

Besides, Song Shutang and Long Hao also need to rest, so naturally we will talk about it tomorrow.

The two left from the pier and went back to Xialuojiawan.

They don't need to go to the intelligence department to report these days, and naturally they don't have to go at night if they don't go in the morning.

Xia Tuo was also busy at the pier today.

It is more about commanding and enhancing relations with cargo owners and ship owners of cargo ships.

But Xia Tuo didn't leave immediately after work.

Instead, wait a while at the pier.

Soon I saw a person coming.

This person is also dressed as a laborer, and he also works at the dock today.

"Talk while walking," Xia Tuo said.

They all know each other and talking together won't come across as weird.

The person who met Xia Tuo was about the same age as him.

"What's wrong?" the man asked Xia Tuo who was on the side.

Today Xia Tuo came here to inspect the work, and the two looked at each other when they came here, so he knew that Xia Tuo had something to do.

So we met after work.

"Do you still remember the idiot I told you about the spy?" After Xia Tuo finished asking, he also greeted the workers who left after work. mingle.

"Remember, I have taken the time to report to the higher authorities before, and the organization approves of your kind actions, but you have never noticed that the other party is a spy. It is your work mistake."

"I understand." Xia Tuo mentioned this matter, also without extra words.

He is familiar with Hantou.

The two interacted a lot.

But has he ever doubted Hantou's identity?

No!

Never.

Even more than wanting to help.

You say irony is not irony!
Facing what the person in front of him said, Xia Tuo was indeed powerless to refute.

But today is obviously not the time for introspection, Xia Tuo continued: "The people from the intelligence department came to me again today."

"Looking for you again?"

"Correct."

"What are they looking for you for?"

"Ask me if I have seen Hantou, and have I been to any strange places."

"What is strange?"

"It just doesn't match Hantou's identity."

"What do they ask these for?"

"I didn't ask."

"You did the right thing." The man affirmed Xia Tuo's approach.

After all, you really can't ask.

Not even curious.

Ordinary people may be curious, after all, everyone is curious.

But Xia Tuo is a smart man.

He shouldn't be curious.

It seems that the silly incident also made Xia Tuo aware of many problems, and acted more cautiously.

"I guess it's possible to investigate the spies." Xia Tuo said his guess.

"Look at where Hantou has been in and out, and go to investigate the spies. This is not looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if you find the place, can you lock the spies?"

"I don't know, and I dare not ask too much. I wanted to follow them to investigate, but I was rejected."

"So the intelligence department will ask this question at the dock?"

"Yes."

"It seems that they should have some clues that we don't know."

"What do we do now?" Xia Tuo asked.

"The intelligence department investigates spies, just let them investigate, we don't care."

"But I seem to have seen Hantou go in and out of a strange place once." Xia Tuo's words made the person in front of him look serious.

"You didn't tell the intelligence department?"

"Of course I have to ask the organization first."

"Very good, I will report this matter to the organization overnight, you wait for my news."

"it is good."

After the two talked, they parted ways outside the pier and left separately.
