wind in the dark night

Chapter 144
into the night.

No. 18, Huifangli.

It was pitch black inside.

The sound of a key opening the door.

Li Tiezui stepped into the room.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Qi Yue, who was wearing a mask, turned out from behind the curtain and slowly sat on a chair.

Li Tiezui adapted to the darkness, and put aside the hexagrams casually: "You are finally here, and I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have already reported your situation to my superiors. Given the complexity of the problem, the organization will Treat it with caution, and you don't have to worry too much, the investigation is being carried out in an orderly manner, and the truth will soon come to light."

Qi Yue was silent for a moment, and then said: "I'm not in a hurry. It's just that the guns and ammunition found in Ang'ang River, can't prove my innocence?"

Li Tiezui said: "In the 26th year of the Republic of China, many troops of the Anti-Japanese League besieged Yilan. Xu Tiehu served as the first battalion commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Army. The Japanese and puppet troops in the city were very tenacious. Our army could not attack for a long time. The Czech-style charge is called a tiger general by Commander Zhou of the Fifth Army. At least on the surface, in terms of contribution to the organization, Xu Tiehu has done as much as anyone else!"

Qi Yue said, "Understood."

Li Tiezui said: "So, this matter has to be done slowly, you have to trust the organization..."

Qi Yue said: "Let's not discuss this first. I'm here today because there are more important situations."

Li Tiezui nodded, and said approvingly: "It's very good not to care about personal gains and losses, but to focus on the overall situation. Tell me, what's the situation?"

Qi Yue asked: "Have you transported the [-] rounds of ammunition in the forest?"

Li Tiezui was stunned: "How do you know..."

Qi Yue asked again: "Is it shipped away?"

"Ship away."

"How do you plan to leave the city?"

"From my personal point of view, I am willing to believe you. However, underground work has iron-like discipline, and it is a matter of confidentiality. I hope you can understand."

"I understand."

"That would be the best."

"I suggest, take the waterway."

"Walk by water?"

"The forest is adjacent to the Songhua River in the north. As long as you avoid the patrol time of the marine police, theoretically speaking, it is the safest and most convenient transportation channel."

"Your suggestion, I will respond to the above."

Qi Yue asked: "How is itahara man?"

"He committed suicide. A suicide note was left in the car. From the content, it can be seen that he had a deep-seated hatred for Faxis and despair for his environment!"

Li Tiezui said with a sigh.

"One hundred thousand rounds of bullets was bought by Yi Tian with his life. He used practical actions to support the war of resistance. He is a true internationalist fighter!"

Qi Yue felt very heavy.

Not only for Itawara man.

Sun Dalong's death also touched him.

In this war with no end in sight, I don't know how many people with lofty ideals will have to be sacrificed in exchange for peace and peace for the country and the people.

"It's getting late, I have to go."

Qi Yue walked towards the door.

Li Tiezui said: "I just said that I want to believe you, I mean it sincerely."

Qi Yue stopped and stood still: "Why?"

Li Tiezui said: "Maybe, because I am a fortune-teller, and fortune-telling belongs to the category of metaphysics. Over time, I will more or less trust my intuition."

Qi Yue looked at him: "So, my intuition tells you that I am innocent?"

Li Tiezui said: "I can feel the sadness from your heart when you mentioned Yi Tian."

"Aren't you afraid that I'm just pretending?"

"Hehe, don't be afraid. Because what I said may not be true."

"........."

Qi Yue couldn't help asking: "Are you really good at fortune telling?"

Li Tiezui said: "Actually, I was originally a Taoist priest. For me, fortune-telling couldn't be easier. I went up to the mountain to practice Taoism at the age of 15, and went down the mountain to defend the Taoism at the age of 25. Four years have passed... Alas, the rise and fall of the country Every man is responsible, and we are bound to do so."

……

early morning.

Qi Yue finished washing.

Du Juan put the breakfast he just bought on the table.

Turned and went into the bedroom.

Qi Yue asked: "Aren't you going to eat?"

Du Juan said, "I'll come as soon as I change my clothes."

The door of the bedroom was ajar, leaving a gap, facing Du Juan's vanity mirror.

Qi Yue glanced inadvertently, and in the mirror he could see the side of the bed—Du Juan leaned over to check the sheets, carefully picked up a hair with his fingers, looked at it carefully for a while, and then threw it into the wastebasket.

Qi Yue pushed open the door: "What are you doing?"

Du Juan immediately froze on the spot, and after a while, slowly turned around and said, "Oh, I think the sheets are a little dirty, I'll let Xiaoyu take them back and wash them in two days."

Qi Yue laughed and said, "I thought you were checking the sheets for women's hair."

Du Juan said, "Am I that boring?"

Qi Yue said: "It's not boring, it's caring."

Du Juan said lightly: "As your superior, you should be concerned. In principle, you can find a woman, but you must report it in advance."

Qi Yue said: "Don't worry, when I find someone I like, I will report it in advance."

Du Juan stepped out of the bedroom with a straight face.

Qi Yue said behind him: "The sheets you changed yesterday, did you forget so soon?"

"I'm getting older and my memory is bad."

Du Juan said without looking back.

In the living room, Qi Yue sat down, picked up a fried dough stick with his chopsticks: "The freshly fried fried dough stick is good, it smells delicious, did you buy it at the street corner?"

Du Juan also sat down, picked up a spoon and took a sip of tofu nao: "Where did you go last night?"

With fried dough sticks in his mouth, Qi Yue said vaguely: "I went to the police dormitory. Oh, Jiang Bin has signs of absconding. I have to keep an eye on him. If he escapes from my hands, it's hard to say what Gao Kejian will think. He has always been uneasy about me, and tried again and again."

Du Juan asked, "What time did you come back?"

Qi Yue thought for a while: "Probably, after nine o'clock."

Du Juan asked again, "Why did you come back so late?"

Qi Yue looked at her, and said with a smile: "Du Juan, you look like a little daughter-in-law who asked her husband to return late and knocked over the jar of jealousy."

Du Juan said sternly: "I am your superior, and asking about your whereabouts belongs to..."

"It belongs to work needs."

"Yes."

"The car lock is broken, and the lock is being changed at the auto repair shop."

Qi Yue explained the reason for coming back late.

Dujuan said nothing more.

The two ate breakfast in silence.

Qi Yue thought to himself that if Yi Tianyuan hadn't been seen for two days in a row, he would definitely be considered absconded in fear of crime, and then Jiang Bin would be arrested logically.

Today will be a critical node.

"I heard that Bai Peicen held a birthday party for his daughter at home, and you also participated in it. You also had a second dance with Miss Bai, and stole the limelight."

Du Juan asked seemingly casually.

Qi Yue said: "It's not about being in the limelight, it's just a dance. Originally, the Bai Mansion invited the principals of various departments of the police department, and it was not for me. When Ning Zhiyuan had something to do at home, I took the vacancy."

Du Juan said, "Is Miss Bai pretty?"

Qi Yue smiled and said, "You know who is pretty or not."
