Life in siheyuan era

Zhou Zhiyuan's reconnaissance skills were unbelievably sharp. Yuan Shi watched as he climbed onto the roof of the Modixi Restaurant step by step. Two hours later, he returned with information: "Bai Wenming and Hu Dapeng are both inside the Anxin Inn."

Hearing this, Yuan Shi wanted to ask, "Did you sneak in?"

But Shen Lanbo wouldn't ask. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Hu Dapeng suddenly appearing and staying in the Anxin Inn without any movement, what's the meaning of this?"

Shen Lanbo questioned, Mo Youji and Yuan Shi pondered in silence, while Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly thought of a possibility, and whispered, "What activities are planned by the higher-ups recently? Including large-scale public events?"

But Shen Lanbo didn't know, he gently shook his head and suddenly woke up, asking urgently, "Could it be that they want to..."

There was no need to finish the sentence. The answer could be inferred from Zhou Zhiyuan's question.

Mo Youji immediately said, "That's possible. Two courtyards, plus the people at the inn, organizing a team of over thirty people shouldn't be a problem."

After Mo Youji finished speaking, Yuan Shi nodded repeatedly, a look of excitement on his face. If they could crack such a major case, the credit would be huge.

Mo Youji analyzed, Yuan Shi rubbed his hands in anticipation, while Shen Lanbo suddenly stood up and said urgently, "Go ask the political commissar immediately."

"No need to rush..." Zhou Zhiyuan said calmly, "There definitely aren't any arrangements for tomorrow, otherwise the two of us would know."

This sentence calmed Shen Lanbo's anxious mood. He remembered that Zhang Limin was the security chief of the capital. If he received a notification, he would immediately arrange for two capable assistants to work. The fact that they hadn't received a notification meant that there were no arrangements recently.

Thinking of this, Shen Lanbo felt relieved and slowly sat down, a pensive look on his face. They had to resolve this hidden danger as soon as possible, it was a ticking time bomb.

But after pondering for a while, he still couldn't make a decision. He turned to look at Zhou Zhiyuan and asked in a low voice, "What's your opinion?"

Zhou Zhiyuan slowly replied, "My master's deduction is possible, but there are also two possibilities. Not everyone in those two courtyards is necessarily one of them. Using ordinary people as cover is the best way."

"Faced with this situation, we will face the problem of collecting evidence, and the process of collecting evidence cannot involve relevant departments and neighborhood committees. I believe they have planted moles among them. Once an investigation is conducted, it will inevitably alert the enemy."

"So our focus should be on disarming them. They won't carry weapons with them, there must be a place to hide weapons. Find this place and destroy it. As long as they are disarmed, eliminate the hidden danger and then arrest them. We don't have to worry about them escaping."

This idea made Shen Lanbo nod slowly, and he asked again, "Keep a close eye on a few people?"

"That's right..." Zhou Zhiyuan slowly replied, "If there is an armory, only a few core people must know about it. First determine the core personnel, and then keep a close eye on them to find the armory."

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Is there a possibility that they are preparing to attack the military hospital, and the weapon they will use is a mortar?"

And Zhou Zhiyuan calmly replied, "Deduction."

Shen Lanbo immediately said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. What needs to be clarified now is what activities the military hospital has scheduled recently?"

"Why don't you ask your mom?"

"Asked, she doesn't know."

"Damn it..."

Zhang Limin cursed, walked quickly to the table, picked up the phone and dialed the switchboard. After a while, Luo Kechang's roar came from the microphone: "Zhang Limin, if you have nothing to do, I'll shoot you tomorrow."

It was now past two in the morning, and Luo Kechang was sleeping soundly, unable to suppress his anger at being woken up.

But Zhang Limin calmly replied, "It's not tomorrow, it's today. It's not just me who's going to be shot, there's also Shen Lanbo and Zhou Zhiyuan. Long story short, I'm asking you, what activities does the military hospital have planned recently?"

"Who are you talking to?"

"It's an emergency, speak quickly."

"ZY has made a decision to organize a collective physical examination for the senior leaders in early May. This is the preliminary arrangement, but it won't be delayed until the end of the month. Originally, I was going to tell you in early May. What have you discovered?"

"Zhiyuan discovered suspicious personnel last night and followed them to the Anxin Inn on Yong'an Street. Tonight, he conducted another reconnaissance and, together with Lanbo, made a deduction that the enemy agents might use mortars to attack the military hospital."

Zhang Limin's statement made the other side fall silent. After a while, Luo Kechang's roar came, "Do you know what this deduction means?"

Zhang Limin calmly replied, "There are spies."

The other side fell silent again, and then a calm voice came, "Follow this deduction and investigate with all your strength. I give you special privileges, and also give Shen Lanbo and Zhou Zhiyuan special privileges. In an emergency, you can take action immediately without asking for instructions. Pay attention to one thing, conduct a secret investigation, and I will arrange any forces you need immediately."

"Yes." Zhang Limin agreed readily.

Then Luo Kechang's roar came again, "If the deduction is wrong, the three of you will go to the army farm to grow vegetables and raise chickens."

"Yes."

Zhang Limin's answer was still so readily. He put down the phone and turned to Shen Lanbo and Zhou Zhiyuan and said, "Did you hear that? I have a premonition that the three of us will have to grow vegetables and raise chickens sooner or later."

"Should we practice in advance?" Zhou Zhiyuan still had the mind to consider this matter at this time.

And Zhang Limin replied solemnly, "You should practice, and Lanbo and I will sit on the side and supervise you. If you don't grow vegetables or raise chickens well, I'll give you a few whippings."

"In order not to be whipped, you have to be serious. Let's study this. There are still more than ten days before early May. Where should we start?"

Zhang Limin raised the question, and Shen Lanbo said in a low voice, "On the way here, Zhiyuan and I discussed it. The focus is still on the Anxin Inn. Zhiyuan should try to sneak in, and Yuan Shi will cooperate with him. Political Commissar needs to solve one thing, whether Yuan Shi can be placed in the Modixi Restaurant to work."

Shen Lanbo mentioned Yuan Shi, and Zhang Limin asked solemnly, "Is he reliable?"

"I think he's reliable." Zhou Zhiyuan answered him.

And Zhang Limin said angrily, "You think so? Sooner or later, we will be killed by your 'I think'."

Zhang Limin was angry, but Zhou Zhiyuan didn't refute. Shen Lanbo continued, "I'll be hospitalized in the military hospital, and take the opportunity to let Zhang Quanyi bring his Quanyi Gang to cause some trouble at the Anxin Inn to cooperate with Zhiyuan's infiltration."

"Political Commissar should arrange a few tracking experts to conduct 24-hour tracking of Bai Wenming and the core figures of the Anxin Inn. Hu Feng and Hu Biao should also be closely monitored, and the two of them should be controlled at critical moments."

Shen Lanbo's thinking was very clear, with Zhou Zhiyuan's infiltration as the focus, and they would take action as soon as they found evidence.

This idea was different from Zhou Zhiyuan's. He wanted to start with the weapons in order to lure the other party out. Getting this evidence was much easier than sneaking into the hospital to find evidence.

But ZY's decision made him know that there was no time. If they couldn't find evidence of weapons, they would find other excuses, such as smuggling antiques.

Shen Lanbo's plan was to take action as soon as he found an excuse, and Zhang Limin nodded slightly to agree. After pondering for a moment, he said, "You need someone to take care of you in the hospital, so let Zhiyuan go."

Zhou Zhiyuan had no objection to this arrangement, but raised a question, "Has my identity been exposed?"

Zhang Limin had something to say about this: "We deny it, you just have to resolutely deny it, don't worry about what others think."

His meaning was very clear, "It doesn't matter if everyone knows, as long as I think it's a secret."

This trick is called burying your head in the sand, and Zhou Zhiyuan was speechless. Shen Lanbo could only helplessly reply, "As long as the two of us refuse to admit it, it's a secret."

"That's right."

Zhang Limin said happily, then picked up a pen and wrote on the letter paper, and said in a low voice, "Let's improve the plan."

Zhang Limin believed in Zhou Zhiyuan's intuition. There were still more than ten days, time was tight and the task was heavy.

They discussed it again. Zhou Zhiyuan sent Shen Lanbo back and rode his bicycle towards his home, thinking about a very important thing, "Am I really invisible?"

The night before last, he was hiding in that corner, but Hu Dapeng didn't see him. This matter was worth studying repeatedly.

At this time, he thought of a way. The small courtyard appeared under the starry sky map, and his figure was hiding in it.

He played hide-and-seek with Chengzi. As orange silk threads shot out, his figure was constantly exposed, until he hid in that corner, and Chengzi was silent.

So he knew that it wasn't that he could become invisible, but that the blind spot hid him. At that time, he was hiding in the blind spot, holding his breath, and protecting himself with Chengzi, so even a master wouldn't be able to find him.

Solving this question made him happy. He returned to the courtyard and looked around, and through continuous verification, he found two blind spots.
