Chapter 202 Snow White's Discovery

An hour ago.

Qingnian Road near the National University.

Bai Xue and Jing Shu walked along the street.

After coming out of Qi Yue's house, Bai Xue was in an extremely bad mood. She walked aimlessly on the street for more than an hour. She called Jing Shu to ask her to go shopping. She wanted to talk to her best friend who was depressed about everything, but several times The words came to her lips and she swallowed them back. For a girl with a proud heart, it was difficult to talk about an affair involving a man and a woman, and it was also related to herself.

I spent the morning shopping on Central Street and went to the National University Library in the afternoon. For Bai Xue, reading is a good way to forget worries.

"Xue'er, did you have a quarrel with your family?"

"……No."

"I see you are unhappy."

"You are thinking nonsense again."

"Should we have a drink later?"

"I haven't seen you smile all day."

"I need it at home, I don't know which one..."

"No, I've done it."

Jing Shu finished the phone call, came closer and asked, "Xue'er, do you want to call?"

"Okay, stop complaining, let's go, I'll treat you to a big dinner in Madiel!"

Jing Shu sighed: "Oh, you asked me out so early in the morning. I thought it would be a good thing. I never thought that I would spend a day reading books in the library. I was so sleepy. If I had known that I was just reading, it would be worse. I'm going roller skating with Shufen and the others."

"Okay, the champagne is delicious..."

Bai Xue became suspicious. Although she had not compared it with the actual objects, in her memory, she felt that the cross-sections of the two steel bars fit very well.

"Better than reading a book."

"You don't know how to skate, haven't you fallen enough?"

Bai Xuedong looked around, and her eyes fell on the wire and steel bars stacked on the counter. She walked closer, squatting down and looking at each one one by one. The steel bar had not been thrown away, and was still in the mezzanine of her shoulder bag.

As she spoke, she stepped into the hardware store.

The two of them talked about it. When they walked to the door of the hardware store and saw the word "Public Telephone" on the glass, Jingshu immediately said: "Wait for me, I'll call home. If I don't come back late, I will be scolded!"

The boss asked: "Girl, do you want to buy steel bars?"

The last time, after Qi Yue and Bai Xue went to the National University Library, they stopped by this hardware store and "picked up" a steel bar.

"Do you want to laugh while reading a book? Isn't that a giggle?"

Bai Xue pretended to be relaxed.

"Haha, just waiting for your words, my stomach has been growling for a long time."

“Do you want steel bars in your home?”

Bai Xue then followed in.

"I heard from the gardener that the greenhouse will use some."

"Just let the servants buy such trivial matters. Why don't you worry about it."

"I just happened to see this..."

The two came out of the hardware store.

After walking for a while, Bai Xue stopped and said to Jingshu, "Look at my brain, I almost forgot. I haven't called home yet."

Jing Shu asked: "Didn't you get beaten?"

Bai Xue explained: "I had a fight at noon, but I haven't had a fight at night yet."

"Oh, then go quickly, I'll wait for you there."

Jing Shu pointed to the rouge shop on the street.

Bai Xue promised, and quickly returned to the hardware store. She found the steel bar from her bag: "Boss, do you have this model?"

The boss took a look and said, "This is called Line 8, there are some." Bai Xue asked again, "Is it the same as mine?"

The boss took the steel bar and looked at it, then compared it with the No. 8 steel bar in the store for a while, and said with a smile: "They are exactly the same. You must have bought this in my store. You see, even the cut section is Same."

Bai Xue said: "Please, could you please give me some samples? I will take them back and show them at home to see if they are the same as this one."

"Haha, the little girl still can't believe me..."

The boss smiled and took the wire cutters and cut off a section of the No. 8 steel bar: "If you buy more, I will give you a discount. Not only this, but other models as well, all at discounted prices!"

"Thank you."

Bai Xue turned around and left the hardware store.

……

sunset.

The sky gradually darkened.

Qi Yue returned to the deputy captain's room.

The sound of a car engine came from downstairs. He stood up and went to the window, peering downstairs through the blinds. Gao Kejian's car was parked at the door of the building.

On the other side, police officer Wang Peng and another police officer took Ma Zhuangniang out, waiting for Qi Yue's order to send Ma Zhuangniang back to the countryside overnight.

After a while, Gao Kejian came out of the building with his briefcase, sat down in the car, turned on the lights, and slowly drove out of the police station gate.

Watching the car go away, Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief. With Gao Kejian gone, things would be much easier to handle. He could arrange the personnel at will and wait for an opportunity to sneak into the captain's room.

Tuk Tuk!

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

Qi Yue said: "Come in!"

Wang Peng came in and reported: "Vice Captain Qi, everything is ready."

Qi Yue asked: "Where are the people?"

Wang Peng was stunned when he heard this: "Who is he?"

Qi Yue said: "Ma Zhuang his mother!"

Wang Peng quickly said: "Oh, it's downstairs."

Qi Yue said: "Bring her here first, I'll have a chat with her, don't send her back tonight, come back early tomorrow morning, that will be fun. Oh, call the attendant and keep an eye on her to prevent her from running around!" "

Wang Peng agreed and left.

Qi Yue opened the drawer and took out five hundred-dollar bills from an envelope.

The activity funds of the action team and other miscellaneous matters are all managed and distributed by the deputy captain, and Ning Zhiyuan usually rarely interferes.

After a while, the corridor became noisy.

Ma Zhuangniang's singing style of crying and howling resounded throughout the building.

As soon as the door opened, Wang Peng brought Ma Zhuangniang in.

Qi Yue placed five banknotes on the table and said to Ma Zhuangniang, who was somewhat confused: "The evidence is conclusive that Ma Zhuang is a communist. There is nothing to talk about. Originally, in his case, there was no pension, not even one cent." You shouldn’t even have any money. But Section Chief Gao is kind-hearted and paid you 500 yuan for settling-in expenses from his own pocket. Let’s forget about it. If you dare to come to the police station to cause trouble again, you will not only take back the money, but you will also be held accountable according to law. Do you understand your family’s charge of not reporting it?”

Ma Zhuangniang came here just for money. Even if she didn't understand anything, she still understood that collaborating with the Communists was an extremely serious crime within Manchukuo.

"Five sheep tickets are a lot, take it!"

Wang Peng put the money into Ma Zhuangniang's hand.

Ma Zhuangniang wiped her tears and cried: "My poor son..."

Seeing that it was about to start singing again, Qi Yue hurriedly told Wang Peng: "Let's go! Oh, by the way, the roads in the countryside are difficult, so ask the driver to drive slower."

Wang Peng and the duty officer from the Secret Service Section took Ma Zhuangniang back downstairs.

Qi Yue listened for a while. The noise became farther and farther away, and the corridor became quiet. He immediately left the office and quickly came to the door of the captain's office.

The guards on duty are all downstairs. Will they go upstairs for a while? As long as you pay attention to the movement downstairs, even if they come back immediately, Qi Yue will have time to exit.
