Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 670: Buddha II Appears
In mid-November, a heavy snow fell in Beijing. The ancient city covered in silver looked even more elegant and magnificent. Wang Li had been very excited since the snow began and always wanted to go out to play. Wang Zhan did not stop her, but put on a thick coat for her and a washed scarf. The blue coat, red scarf, and black leather shoes made her look very beautiful standing in the snow.

Even Qi Dasheng couldn't help but say that Wang Li standing in the yard was like a beautiful picture.

"Is it the hunting season?" Wang Zhan suddenly asked.

When Qi Dasheng heard this, he seemed to remember his gun and instantly became excited. He said, "Let's go when the snow stops. I'll borrow a jeep then."

Wang Zhan nodded, stood outside, wrapped his military coat tightly, and looked at Wang Li who was having fun, with a smile on his face.

Wang Boqing is a criminal investigation expert. He has been working in the Ministry of Public Security since he returned from studying in the Soviet Union. Today, because of a spy case, he was sent to the Military Control Commission in Nanluoguxiang. Here, the Military Control Commission and the Public Security Committee work together.

When he arrived at this place, he thought it was a simple case, except that the escaped spy could not be found, so he was sent to see if he could find any clues.

After listening to the reports of Captain Li and Platoon Leader Wu, he felt a little unbelievable. He didn't expect that this was still a murder case, and a case within a case. This should be considered murder, right? Can murder be played like this? And the mastermind is said to be a child. He thinks this is impossible. He doesn't believe it at all, so he asked to put all the transcripts and evidence in the conference room, and he wanted to sort out the case again.

Wang Boqing was sitting in the conference room, with a cup of tea, an ashtray, a box of cigarettes and matches on the table. He smoked and read the information, and became fascinated. He read it carefully for two days, and then laughed out loud.

Captain Li and Platoon Leader Wu thought they had found some clues and hurried to the meeting room.

Wang Boqing pointed at the report letter and said, "This was indeed written by a child who looks no older than ten years old, and he is the mastermind behind this."

Captain Li and Platoon Leader Wu still didn't quite believe it and said, "That's not right. Yan Jiecheng said that the two adults leaked the information to him?"

Wang Boqing lit a cigarette and pushed it to the two men, motioning them to help themselves. He then slowly said, "Have you heard of a kind of ancient magic trick called double shadow play, where one person plays two roles and only needs a scarecrow to dress up as the costume. People who perform this kind of magic have a unique skill, which is ventriloquism. Didn't you notice that Yan Jiecheng couldn't tell what the two people looked like from beginning to end? He didn't see anyone at all, he just heard voices."

When Captain Li and Platoon Leader Wu heard this, they suddenly realized something. They both lit a cigarette. Captain Li asked, "Then this letter is a bit superfluous, isn't it?"

"If there was no letter, would you believe the words of a boy like Yan Jiecheng who is only 11 or 12 years old?" Wang Boqing asked.

Captain Li shook his head, thought about it carefully, and said lamentingly: "No, I will investigate."

Wang Boqing smiled and said, "This is double confirmation. If you had investigated, the other one wouldn't have run away."

Captain Li felt a little regretful. Wang Boqing said, "It was not such a coincidence that Yan Jiecheng appeared when you were cautious and hesitant. You all thought it was an opportunity. When he told you that they were two spies, you no longer hesitated and took Yan Jiecheng with you."

Platoon Leader Wu understood by now and said, "I felt something was wrong at the time. It was just too much of a coincidence that Yan Jiecheng came."

Wang Boqing took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "The important thing is that the man knew very well that the spy who escaped was hiding under the identity of the manager. He was certain that this person would take the risk to come out to gather information and find out the informer." Captain Li and Platoon Leader Wu now understood completely that they had been fooled.

Wang Boqing took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "The last point is also the most important. He guessed that you had arrested two people and was sure that there were only these two people. He relaxed his vigilance and told Yan Jiecheng in advance that he would recommend him for credit. The third spy heard it and exposed Yan Jiecheng. Then you thought about going back to interrogate the spy quickly and let Yan Jiecheng go home alone."

Captain Li and Platoon Leader Wu both lowered their heads in shame and smoked silently. Wang Boqing said, "You don't have to blame yourselves. I believe that no matter who it is, they would have made the same judgment and choice under the circumstances at the time. It's just that the person who designed this was too clever and could be said to have seen through people's hearts. I am ashamed of myself."

Lieutenant Li asked, "Can you find this person?"

Wang Boqing shook his head and said, "I can't find him now. You can try to ask the Yan family who the enemy is. When you find him, you must inform me as soon as possible. I am very interested in this person. By the way, the spy should still be in that courtyard, but he must be wearing makeup. You can interrogate the two people you caught again. The most dangerous place is the safest place."

After hearing this, the two of them instantly became excited, discussed it quickly, and then assigned the task.

That night, Wang Boqing wrote a detailed report, stamped it with a "secret" stamp, and sent it to the special department of the Ministry of Public Security.

The day after the heavy snow fell, Qi Dasheng drove his brother and sister straight to Mangshan. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they found a village and stored the car at the village chief's house. The three of them carried a hunting rifle and headed into the mountain.

For three whole days, the three of them slept in a tent at night and hunted during the day. Wang Zhan also caught a squirrel for Wang Li. It was very small but very interesting. However, before leaving the mountain, Wang Li released it. In Wang Li's words, "It should belong to the forest."

Three days later, the three men got out of the mountain. Qi Dasheng pulled a big sled and walked back to the village with difficulty. The village chief enthusiastically gave up a room for them. Wang Zhan knew very well that the village chief saw that they were driving a military vehicle and was giving face to the military vehicle.

The three of them returned to the house and fell asleep immediately. They slept until the next morning. The village chief then woke them up. He had specially made pancakes and stewed two hens and brought them to them. The three of them hurriedly thanked him and then began to eat with big mouthfuls.

After dinner, Qi Dasheng took the village chief to count his prey and left a mountain antelope and a little wild boar for the village chief. The village chief said he didn't want anything until Qi Dasheng was about to get angry, and then he reluctantly accepted them.

The three men loaded the remaining prey into the car and were about to leave, but the village chief chased them out and threw a bag into the car, saying that they were all worthless mountain products and they were just going back to try some new ones.

Qi Dasheng didn't say goodbye to the village chief and drove straight home.

The car stopped at the door of the house. Qi Dasheng was about to go up the stairs when Wang Zhan shouted, "Don't move. Someone is here."

Qi Dasheng stopped for a moment, looked at the gate, and asked, "How did you know?"
