Chapter 17 The Imminent Task

on Monday.

Criminal Division meeting room.

The meeting is coming to an end.

Qi Chaozong stood up and looked around at the crowd: "Qi Yue, the police officer of the second team of the investigation unit, has worked diligently and hardworking since he joined the Criminal Division. This case has been approved by the department. Here, I would like to solemnly announce that Qi Yue will be awarded a Medal of Honor and promoted to a police officer as a token of appreciation!"

Qi Yue stood up and saluted.

There was warm applause in the meeting room.

……

into the night.

In a dimly lit room.

Zhang Zhaolin walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Three long and two short, this is a pre-agreed code.

Zhang Zhaolin opened the door to let the visitor in.

Two people came, a middle-aged man about 40 years old, he was Yang Feng, the head of the Binjiang District Committee, and the other followed behind.

Zhang Zhaolin took Yang Feng's hand: "Lao Yang, you're here, I'm going to die of anxiety!"

Yang Feng said: "Commissioner Zhang, you are in a hurry. I am more anxious than you, but there is no way. You have to eat food one bite at a time, and you have to do things step by step. Especially for those who work underground like us, you must calm down. Impatience is a taboo."

"You're right, I was too impatient to make it like this!"

Zhang Zhaolin said with a sigh.

The other person—Jiang Bin took off his hat and stood aside in a respectful manner.

Only then did Zhang Zhaolin notice him: "Old Yang, who is this little comrade?"

Yang Feng said: "Oh, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Jiang Bin, who is by far the most successful latent personnel we have inserted into the enemy."

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Jiang."

"Hello, Chief!"

Zhang Zhaolin and Jiang Bin shook hands.

Yang Feng took out a paper bag from his arms and put it on the table: "Commissioner Zhang, I bought some meat buns on the way, they are still warm, eat them while they are hot."

Zhang Zhaolin sighed: "I made such a big mistake, how can I bear it? Speaking of it, I am responsible for this matter. Alas, who would have thought that there is a thief living in the apartment!"

"You don't have to blame yourself too much, it's just an accident."

Yang Feng said comfortingly.

Zhang Zhaolin nodded: "Let's get down to business, Lao Yang, have you found out the matter?"

Yang Feng said: "Xiao Jiang is in charge of this matter, Xiao Jiang, please tell me."

Jiang Bin said, "The civet cat is dead."

Zhang Zhaolin was taken aback: "Dead? Where's the box?"

Jiang Bin shook his head: "I haven't found it yet."

Zhang Zhaolin sat down on the chair slumped.

Jiang Bin went on to say: "Sai Li Mao has a woman who lives in the fishing market. I asked that woman if she had seen a suitcase, and she said no. I also searched Sai Li Mao's house, but I couldn't find it."

Zhang Zhaolin thought for a while: "Will that woman lie?"

Jiang Bin said: "Probably not. She can confess the civet cat, there is no need to hide this kind of thing."

Zhang Zhaolin frowned: "So, he didn't take the box..."

Jiang Bin said: "It's hard to say now, we need to investigate slowly."

Yang Feng said from the side: "Without the radio station, we cannot get in touch with Yan'an. Commissar Zhang, look, what should we do next?"

Zhang Zhaolin said: "I came to Binjiang this time, besides sending radio stations, I also have an imminent task. I need to raise a batch of supplies in the shortest possible time!"

Yang Feng asked, "What kind of supplies?"

"Salt and medicine!"

Zhang Zhaolin looked at Yang Feng and Jiang Bin: "How is it? Are there any difficulties?"

Yang Feng frowned and fell silent.

Jiang Bin asked from the side: "Chief, how long do you mean in a short period of time?"

Zhang Zhaolin said: "Of course, the sooner the better, no more than one month at the latest."

Yang Feng was a little surprised: "Isn't this too urgent?"

"Lao Yang, others don't understand the situation in the army, don't you? There are thousands of people in the team, and there are fifty or sixty wounded and sick, and new ones are added every day. Without medicine, the seriously wounded can only wait to die , not to mention salt, if there is no salt to eat, soldiers can’t even hold their guns, how can they go to war?”

Speaking of excitement, tears welled up in Zhang Zhaolin's eyes.

Yang Feng said: "Commissioner Zhang, please don't get excited, let me think about it... What is the main thing? Salt and medicine are strictly controlled materials. If you buy in large quantities, you need to go to the police station to issue a certificate, and it is even more difficult to go out of the city." , the security team will check it again, and the gendarmerie will check it again, and every time it is a ghost gate."

Zhang Zhaolin said: "I went to Binjiang personally because I knew it would be difficult. Lao Yang, time is life, and we must hurry up on this matter!"

Jiang Bin suddenly said: "This matter is not so difficult..."

"Do you have a solution?"

Zhang Zhaolin and Yang Feng almost spoke in unison.

Jiang Bin said: "I know a wholesaler. We can use him to transport the materials out of the city in the name of distribution in other places. The wholesaler has complete procedures and can withstand inspection. As for the purchase certificate... I will figure out a way. It’s huge, so it should be no problem to get a pass.”

Zhang Zhaolin asked Yang Feng: "Old Yang, what do you think?"

"Xiao Jiang has always done things safely. Since he said so, I think I can give it a try!"

Yang Feng trusted Jiang Bin very much.

When the matter came to light, Zhang Zhaolin relaxed and said with a smile, "Let me just say, why did you bring Xiao Jiang to my place today? So you came prepared."

Yang Feng said: "Xiao Jiang has the convenience of his status. Calling him here is to report the situation, and to let you meet, so that there will be a support in the future. When there is an emergency and Xiao Jiang needs to come forward, he will not be in trouble. Treat comrades as enemies."

The three discussed the details for a while, and then Yang Feng took Jiang Bin away.

……

A week later.

Rhododendron's house.

Qi Yue asked: "Has the radio station been taken away?"

Du Juan nodded: "Don't worry, the station master sent someone to take it away that night."

"That's good."

"The Communist Party suffered a dumb loss this time, and they don't even know how they lost it..."

Qi Yue told Du Juan immediately about the radio station, but he didn't mention anything more.

Du Juan suddenly smiled: "The station master praised you again."

Qi Yue said, "Is there any room left?"

Du Juan smiled and said, "I stayed this time, the station master said, you are a lucky general."

"Fortune general?"

"I got a high-power radio station for nothing, isn't this a lucky general?"

"Oh, that's what I said..."

Qi Yue played with the cigarette case in his hand.

Du Juan looked at him: "What's wrong with you?"

Qi Yue said: "It's okay, I'm a little tired. I've been promoted to a police officer. There are many things to do, but it's also good. I don't have to be called around all day..."

Du Juan poured a cup of tea for Qi Yue: "You haven't been here for a long time, you have to stay here tonight."

Since they are lovers, of course they have to sleep together frequently.

details make a difference.

Even if no one pays attention to this detail.
