Chapter 203 The secret in the safe

Dang, Dang, Dang...

The tram stops at Binshan Road Station.

Bai Xue got out of the car and walked towards home.

She had compared the two steel bars and found that the cross-sections of the two steel bars were perfectly matched. That means that the person who picked the door lock of the director's room bought the steel bars from the hardware store on Qingnian Road, and it was precisely on that day that Qi Yue I've been to a hardware store before, could this be a coincidence?

If it was Qi Yue who picked the lock, what did he want to do?
Could he be a member of the resistance organization?

Even if he were, what kind of person would he be?
Bai Xue had a lot of thoughts and her heart was up and down.

She was just musing, and before she knew it, she walked to the door of the police station.

The Bai Mansion and the Police Department are both on Binshan Road, one to the east and one to the west, in two opposite directions.

Bai Xue laughed at herself, laughing at herself for being so distracted. She was about to walk back when she suddenly heard the faint sound of a woman crying in the courtyard of the police station.

"Oh, it's the anti-bandit spy Ma Zhuang's mother. When she heard that her son was dead, she came to the police station from the countryside to ask for an explanation. She was crying and howling, hehe."

"As you please."

"Is Vice Captain Qi here?"

The guard saw the person clearly, put away his gun quickly, and said respectfully: "I'm sorry, Miss Bai, I thought it was someone else... Then, Director Bai has gone back."

This is Ma Zhuangniang crying for her son.

When Bai Xue heard the word "anti-bandit", she couldn't help but want to listen for a while longer.

Bai Xue walked along the stairs towards the building door.

"I'll go see him."

"No need, I know the way."

Bai Xue said: "I know. Why did I hear someone crying?"

"Should be there, I didn't see him driving out."

Bai Xue walked closer to the door light: "It's me."

In the yard, Wang Peng, another police officer, and two on-duty officers from the Secret Service Division stood in front of the car, smoking and chatting. They were waiting for the driver who forgot to bring his coat. Ma Zhuangniang had already gotten into the car, and she was crying. It’s not as harsh anymore.

When he found someone lingering in front of the door, the guard immediately became alert, took off his rifle from his shoulder, clicked the bolt, loaded it, and shouted: "Who's there!"

Seeing Bai Xue coming, Wang Peng hurriedly came forward and said, "Miss Bai, are you okay?"

"What is the blessing of all people?"

It's the same everywhere, scandals between men and women always spread the fastest. The guards have heard a little bit about the relationship between Qi Yue and Bai Xue.

"Zhuang Zhuang is not an anti-bandit spy. You have wronged me. You have wronged me..."

Watching Bai Xue go away, a duty officer said with emotion: "Our Vice Captain Qi is really good with women. He has a sweetheart from outside, and now he has become the director's daughter. We won't waste any time." There is a saying What do you mean? Oh, yes, it’s a blessing that Vice Captain Qi happens to be named Qi.”

Bai Xue glanced at the brightly lit deputy captain's room: "I'm looking for Qi Yue."

"Vice Captain Qi is upstairs, I'll take you up."

"One wife, one concubine, two daughters-in-law."

Wang Peng snorted: "What do you know, there is another one."

"There is still one?"

"I can't tell you his name, he's from the police department."

"real or fake?"

"If you don't believe it, pull me down! ...Howl this is so disturbing!"

Wang Peng knocked on the car window and shouted impatiently: "Stop howling! I'm warning you, if you howl again, the five hundred yuan will be taken back immediately!"

Ma Zhuangniang in the car suddenly became silent. …

In front of the captain's room, Qi Yue pried the door lock, ducked in, walked quickly to the safe, inserted the key into the keyhole, turned it a few times, there was a soft click, and the lock spring opened.

The safe has two floors. On the upper floor are two or three documents, including the autumn crusade strategy plan. On the lower floor are a German-made Mauser C96 pistol and a Citizen pocket watch.

Qi Yue put on his white gloves and used the light of a flashlight to quickly read through the ten lines of this battle plan that could determine hundreds of lives and deaths. The plan has 13 pages in total, from troop mobilization to personnel arrangements to follow-up plans, everything is listed in detail. .

After reading the plan, Qi Yue put it back as it was. When preparing to lock the cabinet door, he paused slightly because he felt strange why there was a pocket watch in the safe. The pistol was also somewhat unusual. The Secret Service Section had two guns, a Type 94 and a Walter P38. Agents rarely used pistols like the Mauser C96, which are inconvenient to carry around.

The Mauser C96 is also known as a shell gun, a speed machine, and a box gun in China. When this gun is connected to the butt, its firepower is no less than a semi-automatic rifle.

Qi Yue picked up the gun and looked at it. The gun number was clearly visible, but there were obvious signs of wear and tear on the gun's appearance. Judging from the condition, it must have been used for at least three or four years or even longer.

The pocket watch is also old, but it keeps time accurately.

Suddenly there was a familiar fragrance in the air. Qi Yue immediately locked the safe, exited the captain's room, and gently closed the door.

After walking a few steps, Bai Xue appeared quietly at the top of the stairs. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Qi Yue asked, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?"

Bai Xue said with a straight face.

Qi Yue smiled: "I thought you were angry and wouldn't come to me again."

"Obviously, but I want to hear your explanation."

"Xue'er, if I say that it was a misunderstanding, will you believe it?"

"……Do not believe."

"So, I have nothing to explain."

Qi Yue could only say this. Even in front of Bai Xue, he could not deny his relationship with Du Juan, because denying it would be equivalent to exposing his identity.

Bai Xue's eyes turned red, and the grievances in her heart burst out in an instant. Tears were like broken pearls, crackling and sliding down her cheeks. She choked and said, "But you, you shouldn't hide it from me!"

Qi Yue felt uncomfortable in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

Bai Xue's eyes were filled with tears: "I treat you sincerely, but you lied to me!"

Qi Yue looked calm and did not avoid Bai Xue's aggressive gaze. He said calmly: "I didn't lie to you. When we first met, I told you that I am not a good person."

Bai Xue sobbed and said, "You can say that it rained heavily last night and she happened to be a guest at home. There was no rain gear at home, so she had no choice but to stay overnight. If you say this, I might believe it."

Qi Yue smiled bitterly: "The problem is, it didn't rain last night."

Bai Xue wiped away her tears: "No matter what, you still have some merits."

"what?"

"honest."

"I don't want to lie to you."

"really?"

Bai Xue calmed down.

Qi Yue said: "Really."

Bai Xue looked at the flashlight in his hand: "Okay, let me ask you, where did you go just now?"

Qi Yue raised his flashlight and said, "Before leaving get off work, the shift supervisor must inspect various places. This is a task assigned by Section Chief Gao, and I must comply with it."

At this time, the two of them had entered the vice-captain's room.

Bai Xue spread his hands, put the two steel bars on the table, and looked into Qi Yue's eyes: "Is this also the task assigned by Section Chief Gao?"
