Chapter 255 Caution
Jiqingfang.

inside the room.

The female technician was massaging Liu Ming's shoulders and back.

"Master Liu, are you feeling comfortable?"

"Um……"

"Master Liu, I heard someone say that you beat up Sato. Is that true?"

"Um……"

"That Sato is the worst. He came to Jiqingfang a few days ago and slapped Xiao Liuzi in the face for no reason. Xiao Liuzi was the happiest when Sato got beaten."

"Who is Xiao Liuzi?"

"I do odd jobs."

"Oh, the big teapot..."

Liu Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The odd jobs in the technical college also take on the job of looking after the place. If there are people causing trouble, they are needed to come out and “settle things”. “Big teapot” is the name in the north, while in the south it is generally called “turtle man”.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Who is it?"

"I."

Outside the door is the big teapot Xiaoliuzi.

The technician opened the door: "What's going on?"

Xiao Liuzi said, "There's a guy called Ouyang who asked the cigarette seller Daniu to pass on a message to Master Liu, saying that he has something important to discuss with him."

"Master Liu is busy."

The technician was about to close the door.

Liu Ming asked from behind: "Where is the great man?"

Xiao Liuzi said, "It's at the door."

Liu Ming grabbed his coat, got up and left, because he knew that "Ouyang" was Qi Yue, and this was the code word they had agreed upon before.

Da Niu, the cigarette seller, was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old. He usually carried a wooden box and walked around the streets selling his cigarettes. Many people knew him.

"Where is the person looking for me?"

Liu Ming called Daniu aside.

Daniel said, "He told you to go to Crotch Alley."

"It's your reward!"

Liu Ming stuffed fifty cents into Da Niu's pocket and walked quickly towards Kudang Alley.

Daniu's face was full of joy, and he said to himself: "Ouyang gave me one dollar, and I gave him another fifty cents. I'm going to make a lot of money today..."

Kudang Lane is behind Fuyun Teahouse. Standing at the entrance of the lane, you can see Yingbin Hotel.

Liu Ming entered Kudang Alley and did not see Qi Yue. Instead, he saw a man with brown sunglasses and a beard leaning against the wall smoking.

The bearded man waved and called Liu Ming.

Liu Ming walked closer and looked the bearded man up and down: "Who are you?"

Beard——Qi Yue took off his sunglasses.

"Officer Qi...why are you dressed like this?"

Only then did Liu Ming recognize it.

Qi Yue said: "Someone was following me, and I dressed like this on purpose to get rid of him."

Liu Ming was surprised: "Who is so bold as to follow you?"

Qi Yue shook his head: "I don't know either, that's why I asked you for help."

Liu Ming patted his chest and said, "In my Liu Yidao's place, as long as it's your business, I won't hesitate! Just give me your orders, how can I help you?"

"Did you see the guy wearing the dog-skin hat at the base of the Yingbin Hotel?"

"I saw it."

"This person is very suspicious, but I can't say for sure if it's him who's following me. I'm going to do something first. If he's still following me when I leave, it's basically certain that it's him."

"This guy looks unfamiliar, it must be him!"

Liu Ming analyzed.

Qi Yue asked: "Do you know what to do?" Liu Ming thought for a moment and said: "Follow him, find a place where no one is around, and when he's not paying attention, knock him down with a club and ask him who ordered him to do this."

Qi Yue praised: "I was right about you. You are indeed a good candidate to be a spy."

Liu Ming laughed and said, "What materials? We run into this kind of thing all the time when we do black market business. Just now, at noon, that old man Yagi was still thieving and sent a bastard named Sato over. I followed him all the way and when I saw him trading with someone else, I immediately knocked him down and gave him a good beating!"

Qi Yue nodded: "However, this person is different from Sato. He has anti-tracking experience. If you follow him, you will probably be discovered."

"what is it now?"

"Go to Beiwa in advance and wait."

"I understand. If he is the real boss, you will go to Beiwa later, and he will definitely follow you!"

"Yes."

"I'll take care of it. Just wait and see!"

Liu Ming was eager to give it a try.

Qi Yue said: "There is a small forest in Beiwa. After you knock him out, wait for me there."

"understood!"

"Go."

……

Qi Yue waited for a while and watched Qiu Weihan enter the Yingbin Hotel. Then he came out of Kudang Alley, bought a newspaper on the street, read it while walking, trying his best to cover his face, and then went into the hotel.

Arriving at the door of Room 3 on the second floor of the hotel, Qi Yue looked around and knocked gently according to Du Juan's rhythm.

When Qiu Weihan opened the door, he saw a stranger standing at the door. He was startled at first, but soon recognized Qi Yue, who was in makeup. He quickly let him in and closed the door.

"Where have you been? Where's Dujuan?"

"I let Dujuan go first."

"why?"

"Stationmaster, we are exposed."

"Exposed..."

Qiu Weihan was surprised.

Qi Yue came to the window and said, "The guy wearing the dog-skin hat was sent by Akiyama Yumi, the squad leader of the Special Agents Department's Communications Squad. He has been squatting under the wall since you went to Fuyun Teahouse. I guess something must have gone wrong with Li Wenbiao."

After hearing this, Qiu Weihan felt disheartened. He knew the seriousness of the matter. He had just met with Li Wenbiao. If Li Sheng was sent by the enemy, it would mean that he was completely exposed.

Qiu Weihan calmed himself down and said, "His name is Li Sheng. He is a new recruit of Li Wenbiao. He appeared here because Li Wenbiao brought him here. Qi Yue, we have to leave quickly before the enemy comes!"

Qi Yue stopped him: "Don't worry. Li Sheng is a spy with a single line of contact. After he gets the information, he must report to Akiyama Yumi. We still have time to solve this problem!"

"Single-line contact, that's easy..."

Qiu Weihan breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a moment: "You are dressed like this, just right for this. Remember, don't use a gun, use a knife."

Qi Yue said: "If Li Sheng died in Mashi Street, the Secret Service Department would definitely send someone to investigate. As long as they find out about Yingbin Hotel or Fuyun Teahouse, we will still be suspected."

Qiu Weihan patted his forehead lightly and said in annoyance: "Yes, yes, yes, I thought it was too simple. This matter needs to be planned carefully... Qi Yue, do you have any good ideas?"

Qi Yue said: "Akiyama Yumi's goal is to find Li Wenbiao's superior. Li Sheng must want to know where you live. Wait a minute, you and Li Wenbiao lead Li Sheng to Beiwa, and I will follow. It's a remote place, so it's a good time to take action!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

Qiu Weihan hesitated for a moment: "Do you think there will be any problem with Li Wenbiao?"

Qi Yue asked: "You don't believe him?"

Qiu Weihan frowned, "It's not that I don't believe him. I just think that this is too coincidental. There were curtains in the private room of Fuyun Teahouse, but they happened to be sent for washing today."

Qi Yue said: "If there is something wrong with Li Wenbiao, there is no need to bring Li Sheng here."

Qiu Weihan nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense, I just thought too much..."

The two of them had been standing in front of the window talking when they saw Li Wenbiao come out of Fuyun Teahouse, cross the road and walk towards the Yingbin Hotel.

Qiu Weihan said: "He is Li Wenbiao. I asked him to come to the hotel to meet you."

Qi Yue said, "Then proceed as planned. I won't meet him for now. You go to Beiwa with him. Also, don't tell him about Li Sheng for now."

"why?"

Qi Yue said: "There is still a chance. Even if Li Wenbiao is ruled out as a suspect, it is better to be cautious before the matter is resolved."

"No wonder Du Juan always praises you, saying that you are a rare talent in special operations!"

Qiu Weihan gave sincere praise.
