Chapter 13 Jiang Bin's Secret

into the night.

Qi Yue returned to the dormitory.

When I came to the door, I habitually pushed the door first, and then took out the key to open the door. When the key was inserted into the lock, I knew that the door was locked inside.

Qi Yue reached out and knocked on the door.

After a while, Jiang Bin yawned and opened the door: "I thought you weren't coming back..."

Jiang Bin's bed was very messy, half of the quilt was lifted.

Qi Yue asked: "Asleep?"

"Ah."

Jiang Bin got back under the covers again.

"I said the door opened so slowly..."

Entering the room, Qi Yue glanced at the empty cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw it to Jiang Bin: "The cigarette is gone, why don't you buy it?"

Jiang Bin lit a cigarette, took a long drag, and then said, "It's too cold outside, I'm too lazy to move."

"You are not stupid, you can freeze to death if you go out now."

Qi Yue hung up his coat and hat.

Jiang Bin asked, "Where did you go all day?"

Qi Yue sighed: "Investigate the case, running south and north of the city, I'm exhausted!"

As soon as the door opened, a sleepy head poked in. He was the duty officer of the police dormitory. The only telephone in the police dormitory was placed in the duty room.

"Is Jiang Bin back?"

asked the watchman.

Jiang Bin raised his hand: "This is it."

"I have a call for you!"

The attendant wrapped in a cotton coat left first.

Jiang Bin said: "It's just this look that is still on duty, and such a big person can't see it."

Qi Yue smiled and said, "It means he doesn't see you in his eyes."

Jiang Bin froze for a moment, then laughed loudly: "You can do it, one sentence has several meanings."

He put on a cotton coat and went to the duty room to answer the phone.

As soon as the door was closed, the smile on Qi Yue's face disappeared—Jiang Bin said that he just fell asleep to explain the reason for the slow opening of the door.

But Qi Yue noticed that Jiang Bin's eyes were clear and bright, but it didn't look like he just woke up.

is he lying?

The question is, why would he lie?

Qi Yue looked around, and his eyes fell on the radio. He walked over, thought for a while, and put his hand on the radio case.

Warm to the touch.

That means the radio was off shortly!

A picture appeared in Qi Yue's mind: Jiang Bin was listening to the radio, and when he heard the sound of the key opening the door, he immediately turned off the radio, intentionally messed up the bed, and pretended to have just woken up.

Listening to the radio is afraid of being discovered. There are generally only two possibilities for this situation. One is to listen to the enemy's radio, which is expressly prohibited in Manchuria.

The second is to receive short-wave digital codes-spies usually use this method to communicate with their superiors.

If it's the former, it's fine, at most it's a violation of communication regulations.

If it's the latter...

There were hurried footsteps in the corridor.

After a while, Jiang Bin pushed the door open and entered.

Qi Yue is changing pajamas.

"You are getting more and more particular now, and you have to change your clothes before going to bed."

Jiang Bin's tone was ridiculed.

Qi Yue said: "You call this exquisite? Doesn't it mean the same as shirts and trousers?"

"That's not right, how advanced you are."

"It's just a habit, what kind of high-level and low-level...going out so late?"

"Meet a secret agent, I'll be back in a while."

"Wear more, it's cold outside."

"know."

After Jiang Bin changed his clothes, he opened the door and went out.

……

after an hour.

Jiang Bin is back.

"Qi Yue, get up!"

"what?"

"It's been a long night, I can't sleep anyway, let's have a drink."

Qi Yue sat up with his clothes on.

Jiang Bin put the bought wine and vegetables on the table.

Roast chicken, dried tofu, five-spice peanuts, plus a bottle of Taoshan brand liquor.

"Have a drink tonight, and treat you to a restaurant for a big meal another day!"

Jiang Bin brought two cups and filled them up one by one.

Qi Yue opened his chair and sat down, looked at the label on the wine bottle for a while, and read the advertisement on it: "Hundred years of inheritance, royal tribute wine..."

"Thanks to my emperor's grace, we ordinary people can also drink tribute wine, this cup, to the emperor!"

Jiang Bin raised his glass with a smile.

Qi Yue said: "You behave frivolously and without respect. In the past, you are guilty."

"Our emperor is magnanimous, it's all right."

"You can restrain yourself outside, but now there are everyone..."

"I know, I know, come and have a drink!"

The two drank a round of wine.

Jiang Bin said, "Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Chen Zhongmian is dead."

"died?"

"The military command sent someone to do it."

"when did it happen?"

"This morning, at the gate of Guixi Mantou Shop on Xinmin Street."

"Are there no guards around Chen Zhongmian?"

"Don't mention it, Captain Liu has been tricked by the military command to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and the guards have gone to do other things."

"oh, I see……"

"You said, such a big Binjiang, Chen Zhongmian is on Xinmin Street, and only the insiders of the Secret Service know about it. How did the military commander know?"

"Have you ever heard a saying?"

"Which one?"

"It's hard to guard against a house thief."

"You mean, there are traitors in the Secret Service?"

"Don't take it seriously, I'm just guessing."

"I didn't take it seriously."

"........."

"Because it's impossible!"

"Why not?"

"Before the incident, there were very few insiders, and I only found out just now."

"You also know?"

"No way."

"Oh……"

"According to the vision of the chief of the high-tech department, this Chen Zhongmian is going to be of great use. In the end, it's been less than two months since he was full of fights and calculations. It's a pity."

Jiang Bin and Qi Yue touched their glasses.

The two talked about it, and before they knew it, they drank almost half of a bottle of wine.

Jiang Bin seemed to be very casual and said: "How is the investigation on the case of Apartment 7?"

Qi Yue sighed: "No progress."

"I heard that there is an internal reward in the Criminal Division. No matter who finds the civet cat, they will be promoted to a higher level and the bonus will be doubled. Is this true?"

"Has the Secret Service installed spies in the Criminal Division—how do you know everything?"

Jiang Bin laughed and said, "Spies are still used for this kind of thing?"

Qi Yue put down his glass and leaned back: "I'm dizzy, stop drinking."

Jiang Bin said: "For the sake of the brothers, I will help you."

"How can you help me?"

"How to help you, help you investigate the case."

"Come on, your two moves are not as good as mine..."

Qi Yue pretended to be dismissive.

Jiang Bin said: "I am not as good as you these two times, but I have people under my command, and you are fighting alone. What do you rely on to investigate the case? You rely on intelligence!"

"That's okay, you can help me look it up, find the civet cat, and I'll invite you to Madier for a big meal!"

"Eating is a trivial matter, but getting you promoted through meritorious service is a major event!"

"Brothers!"

"This matter is only known to you and me, so don't tell it!"

"why?"

"Stupid, I'm a member of the secret service department. I'm not doing my job and I'm helping outsiders. If it gets out, I'm still in the secret service department!"

Jiang Bin had an expression of "I am doing it for your own good".

Jiang Bin must have a secret that no one knows, and this secret must be related to Saicivet!
Qi Yue secretly speculated in his heart.
