Chapter 223 Letter from Miss Xu

"Boss, we caught a spy!"

Little Wuzi excitedly stepped forward to report.

Yang Feng shouted, "I'm not a spy. You've got the wrong guy!"

"If you're not a spy, why don't you take the main road but the small road... Where's the bicycle?"

Xiao Wuzi asked Brother Chen who was following behind.

Brother Chen sat down on a rock and said, "Throw it away!"

"What are you throwing it away for?"

"What should we do if we don't throw it away? Should we carry it up the mountain?"

"Did you really throw it away?"

“I really threw it away.”

Li Wenbiao asked: "What bicycle?"

Brother Chen stood up and pointed at Yang Feng: "I was teasing Xiao Wuzi with the bike he rode here. I didn't throw it away. I hid it in the woods at the foot of the mountain."

"Bring people in."

Li Wenbiao entered the house.

Xiao Wuzi brought Yang Feng in and put a bunch of odds and ends on the table, including Yang Feng's ID, wallet, keys, cigarettes, matches, and a few coupons from the Daluo New Department Store.

Li Wenbiao sat on a chair, took the ID and looked at it for a while, then motioned Xiao Wuzi to remove the black cloth covering Yang Feng's eyes: "What's your name?"

"I'm asking you something!"

Xiao Wuzi pushed Yang Feng.

Yang Feng glanced at Li Wenbiao, pretending to be afraid and not daring to look directly at him, then lowered his head and answered respectfully in a proper voice: "Yang Feng."

"From where?"

"Riverside."

"Where?"

"Yangcun."

"Are you from Yang Village?"

"I'm from Binjiang. I went to Yangcun to visit my uncle. I just told them..."

"what is your job?"

"Working as an accountant at Heshun Bedding Factory..."

Li Wenbiao slammed the table and said sternly: "You are not an accountant, you are a spy sent by the police department! Tell me! Is it true?"

Yang Feng said with a bitter face: "Boss, I am really an accountant. If you don't believe me... well, do you have an abacus here?"

Li Wenbiao asked: "What do you need an abacus for?"

Yang Feng explained, "Let me show you how to use an abacus. If I can use an abacus, it proves that I am indeed an accountant."

Li Wenbiao thought for a moment and told Xiao Wuzi, "Go get the abacus."

Every income and expenditure of the Tiger Village is recorded by a dedicated person so that it can be reported to superiors in the future, and an abacus is a must-have item.

Yang Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was an abacus in the bandit's lair.

Seeing that Yang Feng really knew how to use the abacus, Li Wenbiao's expression eased, but he was still somewhat worried, so he ordered Xiao Wuzi: "Take the man away and lock him up for a while. Let him go after the storm has passed."

Yang Feng was anxious and said quickly: "Boss, I have proved it, you can't do this, I really have something urgent..."

Xiao Wuzi scolded: "Don't be ungrateful, just pray for the good incense, if you fall into the hands of other gangs, you will lose your life!"

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Office of the deputy captain of the special operations team.

Qi Yue and Ning Zhiyuan were chatting.

"Brother Yuan, have Park Young-jae's family members arrived?"

"I don't know. The Security Bureau has kept all the details of this case secret from the outside world. Kitahara Masao is personally supervising the case. Chief Gao is right. If outsiders interfere, they will suffer a lot of trouble."

"I was originally planning to take some time to visit Youngjae in the hospital rest room... Well, now that you've said that, I'd better not go for now."

"It's better not to go. You won't be able to see him even if you go."

Ning Zhiyuan was fiddling with a pair of military binoculars in his hand. In the autumn punitive operation, each of the main commanders was equipped with one.

"What kind of telescope is this? Why is it so big?" Qi Yue pretended to be curious.

Ning Zhiyuan handed over the telescope: "The Japanese Type 98 is a circle larger than the common Type 93, and the magnification is also greater. The Type 93 has four times the magnification, and this one has seven times the magnification. Even the ants on the ground can be seen clearly."

Qi Yue held up the telescope, looked out the window for a while, and said in admiration: "It is indeed very clear... I have to say that the Japanese are really capable of making such a good telescope."

In the camera, Yumi Akiyama walked out of the door.

Ning Zhiyuan said disapprovingly: "The shell is from Japan, and the parts are all from Germany. It is a replica of the Zeiss telescope."

Qi Yue acted as if he couldn't let it go.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

Qi Yue said, "Come in."

A police officer came in with two letters in his hands and put one of them on the table: "Deputy Captain Qi, there is a letter for you."

Ning Zhiyuan glanced at the postmark on the envelope and said to Qi Yue, "It's from Peking."

"Whose letter is that?"

Qi Yue asked the police officer.

The police officer said, "It's squad leader Akiyama."

Qi Yue said: "Team Leader Qiu Shan just went out. Leave the letter with me. I will go to the communications squad later and give it to her."

The police officer put the letter on the table and walked out.

"It seems like you and Akiyama Yumi are getting along pretty well."

Ning Zhiyuan said to Qi Yue.

Qi Yue picked up the water cup and took a sip: "I go to the communications class more often, and the relationship is too stiff, which is not conducive to carrying out work."

"Qi Yue."

"what?"

"You don't have a crush on her, do you?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Qi Yue almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Ning Zhiyuan said: "A single man and a single woman, staying together for a long time, may get excited and act impulsively, and it's hard to say what will happen."

Qi Yue laughed and said, "Brother Yuan, what kind of words are these? You are so good at making associations."

Ning Zhiyuan said in a muffled voice: "It's not that I can associate it, but the morals of the world are going downhill, women are becoming more and more undisciplined, and the morals these days are not good."

Qi Yue knew that Ning Zhiyuan's emotions were all caused by Su Ya's cheating. Since his wife was unfaithful, he assumed that others were the same.

Qi Yue unfolded the letter paper. The handwriting on the letter was beautiful and neat, and it was obviously a woman's handwriting.

Ning Zhiyuan asked: "Whose letter is it?"

The puppet Manchukuo implemented a mail random inspection system, and this work was handled by the Security Bureau's Mail Inspection Unit. They were very professional and it was difficult to tell from the opened letters.

Therefore, no one can guarantee that their letters have not been opened.

"Miss Xu Er, my fiancée."

Qi Yue answered truthfully.

Ning Zhiyuan was very surprised: "Second Miss Xu? Didn't you break up?"

Qi Yue smiled bitterly: "This time it's official."

The content of the letter was very simple. Miss Xu hoped that Qi Yue would return to Peking and end the matter in person.

"Women are trouble!"

Ning Zhiyuan said with a sigh.

Qi Yue agreed: "It's troublesome enough. She had to end it face to face. I really don't understand what she was thinking. It's already like this. Is there any need to meet? Isn't it embarrassing?"

Ning Zhiyuan stood up and said, "You can read the letter. I'm going back now. Oh, go to bed early tonight and don't sleep too late. Meet at the police station at 4:30 tomorrow morning and set off on time at 5 o'clock. Don't miss anything."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door.

Qi Yue said from behind: "Brother Yuan, you didn't take the telescope."

"I'll leave it here for you. Just don't forget to bring it with you tomorrow."

Ning Zhiyuan opened the door and walked out.

Qi Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had just shown his liking for the telescope because he hoped Ning Zhiyuan would keep it.
