Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 331 Lotus
Yu Dajun just walked out of the meeting room with a cigarette in his mouth, and the three of them met face to face.

"Yu Dajun, I have another photo here that I forgot to show you."

Taking the photo of Zhao Guangrun that Li Yancheng had taken out of his pocket, Su Xiaotong held it in front of Yu Dajun.

"This is……"

Yu Dajun took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on. He stared at the photo carefully for a long time and then slowly shook his head.

"I don't know this person. I have no impression of him at all. Let's put it this way, I basically don't know any of the veteran spies in Beijing who have been in existence for four or seven years.

You should know my past. After I was transferred to Beijing, I didn't care much about anything, especially the secret agents who had been around for a long time." Yu Dajun sighed slowly, took off his glasses, folded them carefully and put them in his pocket, saying with some emotion.

"The water in the spy business is too deep. Anyone with a little bit of connections wants to get a piece of the pie. I am just a person who was demoted here by the superiors.

The Beijing Statistics Station is a big station with many factions. I dare not easily reach out to it. It is precisely because of this that I can live to this day. "

This old guy is smart. He is a typical man who knows how to adapt to the times.

And all his colleagues, whether from Wu City or later Jing City, all those who were qualified to be included in the books here, have now basically turned into a handful of dust.

Su Xiaotong put the photo away and handed it to Li Yancheng.

Disappointed?
Not really!
Both of them were mentally prepared for this answer.

……

The jeep left Qingyan Detention Center and headed back toward the city.

Su Xiaotong drove back and Li Yancheng sat in the passenger seat.

"What should we do? Do you really intend to have thousands of copies of that portrait printed and distributed to various units?"

"I can't make the decision. One hundred and fifty kilograms of explosives is not a small amount. It can do a lot of things.

If there are any disastrous consequences caused by alerting the enemy, I will not be able to bear the responsibility even if I have another head."

Su Xiaotong shook his head and said in a low voice.

It's a pity to use so many explosives.

"Let's not talk about this for now, Yancheng. What do you think about the other thing that Dajun just said?"

"What about the other content?" Li Yancheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Su Xiaotong who was driving.

"what you mean?"

"Of course, I'm referring to what Yu Dajun said about your life experience."

life experience?

"What do you want to say?"

"Do you want to ask Director Dai to help you look for him? He has the ability to contact the Cheng family."

The Director Dai that Su Xiaotong mentioned is Dai Jun, the director of the Second Department.

"You'd better take a rest." Li Yancheng refused without even thinking about it.

"Yancheng, I'm serious. Your biological family is very rich, not just a little bit. If you..."

"Comrade Su Xiaotong." Li Yancheng interrupted the guy before he could finish his words.

"I don't know if you are trying to test me by saying this. Even if I find that family and they are willing to recognize me, then what? What should I do?
Enjoying life in China? What to enjoy? What can I enjoy in a place where I can't even spend my money? Do you think I live too carefree and are holding back to hurt me?

Don't you know how many people are watching me now? If I dare to make any unusual move, those people will definitely pounce on me, tear me to pieces and bury me in the west mountain.

Or do you think I should go abroad to find them now? Then you are just trying to harm my father-in-law and his family. If I dare to sneak out of the country now, whether I take my wife with me or not, the Luo family will fall into the abyss.

I remember that your family had a pretty good relationship with my father-in-law's family, and you and Luo Yang were good brothers. How come I didn't realize before that you were so evil, waiting here to harm them?"

Su Xiaotong's forehead was full of black lines at this time. He really wanted to brake, stop, and then turn around and strangle Li Yancheng to death.

He didn't expect that he was just saying it jokingly, but the guy would hit him on the head with several big hats.

He is still trying to harm this and that. Hey, this guy is really bold.

"Okay, okay, I'll call you brother, but you'd better stop talking. You're a magnanimous person and don't bear grudges. Just think of it as a fart I just farted." Su Xiaotong quickly begged for mercy.

"Hehe" Li Yancheng smiled proudly, took out two cigarettes from his pocket, lit them, and stuffed one of them into Su's mouth.

"I told you not to make trouble for no reason. Come on, Xiaotong, let's not talk about these nonsense. If I really wanted to find that biological family, I would have thought of a way as early as when you and Luo Yang told me at the beginning of last year. How could I wait until now?

Let’s talk about the old woman in the portrait painted by He Juling.”

When it comes to business, Su Xiaotong's expression immediately becomes serious.

"Tell me your opinion first."

"Okay," Li Yancheng nodded and said, "Those four fires started at three or four in the morning on the 21st, Saturday, and lasted until around seven in the morning before they were put out. Is that okay?"

"No problem. The police have detailed records."

"He Juling said that the old woman found her in the inpatient ward of Dianhai District Hospital at around 10 o'clock in the morning. From the time Zhao Guangrun went there, we can roughly infer that it was around this time.

That is to say, based on the earliest fire time of 3 o'clock, it took this old woman only seven hours to not only get the news that Liang Qiutao had died, but also find the ward where He Juling and the child were hospitalized. To be honest, I personally think this efficiency is not low. "

Su Xiaotong frowned slightly and thought for a moment, and soon a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"I think I understand what you're trying to say. According to what you said, the people who could have grasped the details so quickly are none other than the police, fire department, neighborhood committee, street office, district government, or Liang Qiutao and He Juling's units.

People from Beijing Auto, that is, He Juling’s unit, can basically be ruled out, because she doesn’t know the old woman at all. The possibility of being from the Science and Technology Commission is also unlikely. If it was from the Science and Technology Commission, they could have explained it openly.

Not to mention the neighborhood committee, it is impossible that there is someone He Juling doesn't know. The street office should be similar. Even if she doesn't know them, she should have at least some impression of them.

As for the fire department, as far as I know, there are no older women even in the leadership, so the only ones left are the police department and the district government.

If we combine this with the fact that she may have infiltrated before 1940, and should have been lurking in the rear at that time, that is to say, she may have followed the team into Beijing in 1949.

If they are not from the army, then the most likely ones are from the police and the district government."

Having said that, Su Xiaotong turned his head with a serious expression and looked towards the passenger seat.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's late at night and the visibility is poor. What are you looking at? Look ahead. Talk but don't turn your head around randomly." Li Yancheng was startled by his turning his head, and he quickly told him to pay attention to the front.

It is now past ten o'clock in the evening, and there are indeed few cars and people on the road. It seems that no car accident will happen, but the road condition is really bad, with many potholes. He can accept being injured or even sacrificed in a gunfight with the enemy, but he absolutely cannot accept being injured in a single-vehicle accident while driving.

Su Xiaotong chuckled and turned his head again to look at the road ahead.

"I just realized why you are so timid."

"Am I a coward? I just don't want to cause non-combat casualties due to negligence."

"Okay, you're right. Hey, do you think what I just analyzed makes sense?"

“There is definitely some truth to this, but it’s still a little incomplete. This old woman may not be from Dianhai. She may be from the west of the city and live with Li Zhengxi.

She knew something had happened here and felt that something was fishy. If she deliberately inquired about the situation in Dianhai, she would be able to get accurate information quickly.

As for why she went to see Liang Qiutao instead of Li Zhengxi, one possibility is that Liang Qiutao is more important, and the other possibility is that she has been to Li Zhengxi but we just don't know about it.

I think we can go find the relevant people we are more confident in overnight after we return and ask them to help identify the portrait first. "

"For example, the directors of the Chengxi and Dianhai branches, the directors of the two district government offices, and the street offices around Li Zhengxi's home," Su Xiaotong added.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they could only look for someone who they were more confident would not be a lurker and would not leak information to others easily.

What troubles them most now is the 150 kilograms of explosives. If there is no such thing to remind them all the time to be more restrained, the simplest way is to mimeograph the portrait and distribute it to various units, street offices, and neighborhood committees, and launch a human wave tactic.

Yu Dajun had said before that although the person in this portrait was slightly different from what he remembered, it might be due to age issues.

Twenty or thirty years later, he was still able to recall a person he had met long ago through the portrait, which indirectly shows that the portrait was quite similar.

Since they are quite similar, we can basically find them by using the human wave tactic, or at least find out all the similar people.

Li Yancheng's current special interrogation method has been upgraded. It only takes a few seconds to determine whether a person has a problem. The person being interrogated does not have to endure a half-month period of weakness. The higher-ups will definitely approve its use. In this way, it will take less than two or three days to find the old woman in the portrait.

But the current situation is that because of the pile of explosives, they have to make some moves secretly, which also increases the difficulty of finding people.

Ugh……

Amid the roar of the jeep's engine, Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong both sighed at the same time.

Hearing the other sigh, they were both silent for a few seconds and then laughed out loud to try to find a way to amuse themselves.

The pressure that this lotus brought to them was really too great.

The leaders of the bureau were also under a lot of pressure, and Director Shen was so anxious that he had several pimples on his lips.

Not long after Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong left the office, Director Shen and Director Zhong arrived together.

The source of the explosives was finally discovered, but the person involved died. It is still unknown to whom the explosives ended up. What’s even more terrifying is that so many of them are still missing.

This case also made Director Shen determined that even if he had to retire and go home to enjoy his retirement, he would definitely not work in the Social Affairs Bureau after this case was over.

This is simply fatal.

All the necessary arrangements have been made. All they can do now is wait and see when the front-line investigators will send back any news.

"Old Shen, sit down and take a rest. If you can't do it, you can go home and rest. I will inform you as soon as there is any news. You keep walking around here. I am starting to feel dizzy."

After Director Shen had gone around in circles for who knows how many times, Director Zhong finally couldn't help but speak.

"Go back and rest? Comrade, I don't have the heart to rest now. There are so many explosives scattered outside, which makes me more uncomfortable than putting them under my buttocks.

The second batch of explosives happened on the 20th. Today is the 24th. It’s hard to imagine where they were hidden. Maybe they were placed near the targets that the criminals wanted to target. Sigh…”

In terms of prevention, the headquarters has just issued a notice to all units, important venues and buildings to conduct self-inspections.

Currently all documents are delivered manually. The unit that received this expedited document has now begun to gather personnel overnight to inspect various parts of the unit.

At present, there are still some units that have not received the documents due to distance issues. In order to allow these units that have not received the documents to make preparations in advance, the First Division has called back a number of second-line civilian personnel, who are calling door to door in the duty room according to the telephone book issued by the municipal government.

After all, it is night time now, and not all units have staff on duty at night.

In fact, as the case has come to this point, the people from the Social Affairs Bureau have not made any mistakes in this case.

The reason why we are so passive is that the criminals acted too quickly. Before we could figure out the whole situation, the situation had already developed to such a dangerous state.

If there was any mistake in my work, it would probably be that I had not yet found the hidden lotus.

The problem is a hidden lurker, and without any action, they cannot discover it even if they sit in front of the people from the Social Affairs Bureau.

We are all human, not gods, and no one has the ability to see through other people's identities at a glance.

The current situation is that it's not just the people in the Social Affairs Bureau who are having a headache about how to find the lurker who is hiding so deeply.

The lurker was also feeling unwell all over.

Since the explosives placed in Zhao Guangrun's house did not explode, the lurker himself knew that he did not have much time left.

She couldn't understand why the carefully arranged explosive failed to explode. According to her idea, it should have exploded without a doubt. Logically, no matter who saw the body, the first reaction would be to call the police or push open the door and go in.

Under normal circumstances, no one should have noticed the connected explosives she had piled behind the door immediately.

In fact, if it were someone else, her plan might have really succeeded, because that big flower would definitely explode.

But who made her meet Li Yancheng? Although he had not received any professional training, he understood the importance of protecting the crime scene. He felt that he did not know how to investigate the scene, so even if he went in, it would only be to satisfy his curiosity.

Besides, the original owner had been a doctor for so many years that he was tired of seeing dead bodies. After he inherited that memory, he would look through it when he had nothing to do, but he was tired of it. So when he saw Zhao Guangrun dead there that day, he had no intention of rushing in.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to achieve his goal by accident.

But the lurker didn't know, and she couldn't understand why this happened.

There is another thing that makes her uncomfortable now, which is how to deal with the man in front of her who made her get back into the water.

It took her three years to finally extricate herself from the committee's review. Unexpectedly, just a few days after she had rested, someone came to her door.

This made her furious.

She had just escaped safely for a few days when the people from that organization got the news and came to her house. This was clearly telling her that we have a watch on your every move.

Since you all know the situation, why didn't you try to get me out during the three years when I was investigated by that committee, and just watched me almost die? Now that you see I found a way to get out of it myself, you immediately come to me and assign me tasks. What is this?
Shouldn’t we use people forward and not use people backward?
So, today this guy came to her for the second time to threaten her, asking her to go to a place where it is almost impossible to place explosives. This is almost telling her that this is your last mission, but this mission will cost you your life.

In this case, I might as well go all out. I won’t live much longer anyway, so you bastard, come and bury yourself with me.

After sitting there thinking for a long time, the woman set her eyes on the man who was still in a coma, reached out and picked up the cup on the table and poured it directly into the man's face.

A cup of cold water was poured on his face, and after a while, the man who had fallen to the ground gradually woke up.

When he just woke up, he probably hadn't reacted to what had happened. He stared at the woman sitting next to him with unfocused eyes for a long time before he seemed to come to his senses.

"Lotus, what do you want to do? Um..."

After coming to his senses, the man struggled to get up, only to find that his hands and feet had been tied up. Not only that, there was a rope around his neck, and the other end of the rope was tied to a pillar in the house.

In other words, apart from his head being able to move and his mouth being able to speak, his body could only move a few times in place at most.

"Can't you see what I want to do? It's obvious enough, isn't it? Boy, when I was fighting for the organization, you were still a piece of rotten meat in your mother's belly. How dare you threaten me? Who gave you the courage?"

"Hehua, I am giving you this task on behalf of the organization. I don't believe you dare to touch me." The man obviously hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem, and all he talks about is the organization.

"Haha, organization? Okay, you ask that shitty director to come find me."

The woman smiled contemptuously, reached out to pick up the cigarette on the table and lit one for herself, then stood up and walked to the man lying on the ground unable to move and squatted down.

"I'm telling you the truth. I'm not going to live long. How do you think I got away from the reviewers of that committee? It's because I have a terminal illness and I won't live for more than a few days.

If you were to negotiate with me and beg me to complete this last mission, I would probably agree if my heart softened. I am a dying man anyway, and that organization was once my belief.

It doesn't matter if I sacrifice myself for the beliefs I had when I was young, but you actually threaten me like you're looking for death, so let's see who dies first, you or me."

"You..." The man's expression finally changed.

He looked at the woman squatting there with no expression on her face, and a chill arose in his heart.

"Lotus, we can complete this last mission together. I have already prepared the timing device. As long as we can find a suitable place to place the explosives and set the time, we can evacuate Jing City.

I have already planned the evacuation route in advance to ensure that we can reach Hong Kong Island safely. Once we get there, someone will pick us up to take us to East Island.

Now there are only two of us in the organization in Beijing, so we must unite. You said you have a terminal illness, don't worry, it can't be cured here. As long as we can go to Hong Kong Island, you have fought for the organization for so many years and completed so many tasks excellently. The organization will definitely arrange the best doctor for you.

You are not even sixty yet, and you still have a lot of life to enjoy."

"Okay, kid, you don't need to drug me here. I have walked more bridges than you have walked. Do you really need to describe the future for me?

When you get there, help me tell Director Shan Yu that I will live up to the oath I made back then."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man lying on the ground stared with his eyes wide open, and before he could react what was happening, he saw the woman squatting there raised her left hand and covered his face with something like a towel.

Before he could even struggle, he felt his head going dizzy, his eyelids drooped unconsciously, and then he knew nothing.

The woman still squatted there without moving, until the man under the towel tilted his head and his tied arms and legs obviously relaxed. Then she sighed softly, put the cigarette in her mouth, and slowly stood up with her hands on her knees.

"Why do you have to do undercover work when there are so many other things to do? Sigh, you must be more careful in your next life and don't go astray again."

While muttering to herself, she walked to the chair where she had just sat and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, her face flushed and she began to cough violently and uncontrollably, and the cigarette in her mouth fell to the ground.

While she was coughing, blood kept oozing out from the corners of her mouth.

She coughed more than a dozen times before she stopped. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the corner of her mouth. Seeing that there was obviously more blood on the handkerchief than yesterday, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, muttering to herself, "You better check it faster. If you come too late, you won't be able to see me."
