The train driver in the courtyard

In the interrogation room, under the dim light.

A set of induction process is completed.

Li Aiguo did not ask directly, but picked up a pen and put it into Ji Huai's hand.

"Tell me, if I lost a batch of important meteorological data, where can I find it?"

The drug interrogation team has also taken some measures in daily life in the past few days. Ji Huai's psychological defenses are now much weaker than when he first came in.

In addition, Li Aiguo adopted a roundabout way of asking questions to avoid touching the words used by Ji Huai in his self-psychological suggestion.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Huai picked up the pen and wrote a line on the paper.

Li Aiguo's pupils suddenly contracted.

When he was investigating the observatory case, he had an idea that Dieter might be a cafeteria handyman, a temporary logistics worker, or something like that.

The vetting of this type of people is not rigorous, their mobility is high, and they are most likely to be planted by the enemy.

However, after consulting the files of the Observatory case with Staff Officer Xiao, Li Aiguo found that there was nothing wrong with the idea of ​​Representative Chen of the special case team.

The lost data was kept very carefully, and only those with access to the core area of ​​the observatory could access it.

Who else could this person be except a researcher and the head of the observatory?

Li Aiguo was puzzled.

Now seeing the name on the note, Li Aiguo couldn't help but give Ji Huai a thumbs up in his heart.

He is indeed an old fox to have thought of this trick.

Li Aiguo handed the paper to Lao Mao.

The old cat took one look and couldn't help but say, "Fuck, this guy is too cunning!"

At this moment, Liao Xuesong suddenly raised his hand: "Heart rate rises sharply! The target is about to wake up!"

Before he finished speaking, the chaos in Ji Huai's eyes quickly receded, replaced by his usual sinister and sober look.

He sat up and glanced at the note in Old Cat's hand, then sighed and said, "It seems that I really underestimated you."

"I underestimated you, too."

Li Aiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it into Ji Huai's mouth, lighting it for him, then moved a chair and sat next to him: "Choice is more important than hard work. If you had chosen to join this side, I would probably call you Master now."

"When my whole family was wiped out, there was no longer any such possibility."

Ji Huai said calmly while smoking a cigarette: "If you think I am a worthy opponent, please continue to use this method."

"I will."

"Let's go to Jinling Observatory."

Li Aiguo threw away the cigarette butt and walked out of the office with the note.

In the bumpy jeep, Zhou Ke asked in confusion: "Aiguo brother, why didn't Ji Huai confess voluntarily, but instead asked us to use drugs to force him to confess."

Li Aiguo did not answer his question.

The old cat interjected: "Ji Huai tried to retain the last bit of dignity."

Li Aiguo looked out of the car window and saw workers in blue and black work clothes hurrying on their bicycles, an old lady buying vegetables carrying a basket, and an old man walking with a cane.

The white steam and the mist on the bluestone road intertwine, weaving into a scene of human fireworks.

What a peaceful and tranquil world it is, why do some people always want to stir up trouble?
****
The Jinling Observatory has been closed for several months.

Most people in the observatory were in a state of panic, but there was one type of person who seemed particularly calm.

That is someone who does not belong to the Jinling Observatory.

At least, they are people who will never appear on the observatory's staff list or temporary worker list.

For example, those professional lens grinders from Siming Optical Store.

These staff members are led by Master Liu from the eyewear store.

There are five people in total. They came to the observatory a year ago. Their main job is to grind the 7.7 cm diameter finderscope for the variable star instrument.

This is a device used to hand-draw sunspots, which plays an important role in astronomical research.

The atmosphere in the observatory was unusual. The staff of the eyewear store continued to measure, polish and correct the instruments in the temporary workshop of the observatory as before.

The only difference is that the researchers cannot come to check in person, and the staff need to send the measured data over.

"Sixth son! Stop looking!"

Master Liu rubbed his hands, which were covered with broken glass, on his apron and yelled at the clerk leaning over the window, "If you delay any longer, we won't be able to finish grinding lens No. 15!"

This young clerk is usually hardworking and smiles at everyone he sees, but recently he has been leaning on the window and peeking outside.

Zhou Liuzi reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and the glass window reflected his eyes staring at the patrol team outside.

"Master Liu, you often chat with Representative Chen, don't you get any news? When can we go down the mountain?"

"Sixth son, is this something we should ask about? Master has told you that this matter has become a big deal, so don't get involved."

"I have no choice. My friend finally introduced me to a girl. Now I haven't seen her for a few months. It must be over. You see, I'm not a child anymore. My parents died early. I have to leave a descendant for our Zhou family." Hearing this, Master Liu looked around and said in a low voice: "It is said that Representative Chen is planning to close the net."

"Really? That's great. We can get down the mountain soon."

"Look how happy you are." Master Liu shook his head, stood up and started to work.

He didn't see the smug smile on Liuzi's lips.

The lunch at the observatory was very ordinary, cornmeal porridge and stir-fried white radish.

After finishing his meal, Master Liu was about to go to the yard to digest the food.

There was a sound of footsteps outside.

"Representative Chen, why are you here?"

"Where is Zhou Liuzi from your group?"

Master Liu called out to the inside: "Liuzi, come out."

Zhou Liuzi ran out and saw that it was Representative Chen. A strange look flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Chen, Representative Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Caught him!" Representative Chen, who was usually friendly, waved his hand.

Several men in gray Zhongshan suits rushed towards Zhou Liuzi quickly.

"What are you doing? What did Liuzi do wrong?" Master Liu was anxious and wanted to plead for Zhou Liuzi.

Zhou Liuzi turned around and ran away.

He was extremely fast. He ran to the wall, jumped over the three-meter-high wall in just two or three steps, and then jumped down.

His agile skills can be compared with those of the bandits before liberation.

Representative Chen didn't believe that this junior clerk was actually Dieter.

It was only because of the pressure from Lao Xu that he had to give the train driver some face.

This time he came with an attitude of just coping. When he saw Zhou Liuzi running away, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Catch him, catch him quickly!"

Upon hearing the order, the members of the task force picked up their pistols and followed. It took them five full seconds to climb up the wall.

At this time, Zhou Liuzi had disappeared.

The target was determined by the Jinling Meteorological Station, but he lost the person.

Representative Chen was embarrassed in front of the comrades from the Jinling Meteorological Station and his face turned as red as a pig's liver.

"Stationmaster Xing, don't worry, I have laid a net and I will definitely catch this guy!"

Representative Chen walked up to Stationmaster Xing and wanted to apologize, but he couldn't save face, so he just nodded slightly.

It was such a small action, but it made Stationmaster Xing excited.

Chen represents a person who has high ideological awareness and strong abilities, but has a bad habit: he has a bad temper and an overly high self-esteem.

A while ago, upon learning that something had happened at the observatory, Stationmaster Xing led a team to investigate in the name of Jinling Meteorological Station.

As a result, Representative Chen stopped him at the foot of the mountain.

At that time, Representative Chen almost pointed his gun at Stationmaster Xing's forehead. Stationmaster Xing still remembers that menacing look clearly.

"Old Chen, how can I not trust you? Don't worry, our weather station has already made arrangements."

Representative Chen had already been planning to mobilize a team to search the mountain, but he frowned when he heard this.

"Now that he has run away, can you catch him?"

"I can't catch it, but someone can."

As he spoke, Stationmaster Xing was also filled with shock.

According to the original plan, Li Aiguo should cooperate with Representative Chen to arrest people.

As a result, after meeting with Representative Chen, Li Aiguo immediately changed his plan and went to make the arrangements himself.

Could it be that Li Aiguo had already anticipated that Representative Chen would not succeed?

No, that's impossible. If that were the case, wouldn't that be like predicting the future? !
Representative Chen was not aware of Stationmaster Xing's shock at the moment. He looked around and did not see the train driver. He immediately understood what Stationmaster Xing meant.

He didn't care.

A person of Zhou Liuzi's level, Dieter, who had lived on the third peak of Jinling for a year and was very familiar with the surrounding conditions, was not someone that could be caught by one person.

"If you really catch me, I will apologize to your weather station in front of everyone!"

After saying that, Representative Chen no longer looked at Stationmaster Xing, and shouted to the team members beside him: "Notify the Second Regiment, the Third Regiment, and the Independent Battalion. Mobilize the troops and search the mountain!"
