wind in the dark night

Chapter 205 The rain keeps falling
During the Qing Dynasty, the Taipingqiao area was sparsely populated, with not even a decent shop. To buy daily necessities and seek medical advice, people had to go to Fujiadian via the cable ferry on the Majiagou River.

The Majiagou River is deep and fast, and drownings occur every year. Local businessman Lu Tingzhen launched a fundraiser to build a stone bridge named Taiping Bridge.

At this time, the truck driven by Qi Yue was parked in the shadow of the Taiping Bridge intersection.

Akiyama Yumi said: "Vice Captain Qi, in my opinion, there must be something wrong with this Jiang Bin!"

Qi Yue asked: "Is there any basis for this?"

Akiyama Yumi said: "We had already crossed the Taiping Bridge, but according to the markings, we went in circles and came back. This shows that Jiang Bin has been going in circles on the Taiping Bridge. It is a typical anti-tracking technique. If he has no evil intentions, why? What to do?"

"Your analysis makes sense."

Qi Yue echoed.

Akiyama Yumi changed the subject: "So, you don't have to feel guilty!"

Qi Yue said seriously: "As a police officer, my mission is to eradicate all rebels who endanger the country. In this kind of matter, no matter who is involved, I will never show mercy! Squad Leader Akiyama, I hope you can do the same to this point.”

……

Akiyama Yumei looked proud.

Qi Yue stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and crashed into the truck. Looking at the truck driving at full speed, he felt that he was determined to win without mercy.

"Just him?"

"Only one?"

Qi Yue said: "I think you should send a few more people, otherwise, if we lose track of you, our trip will be in vain."

Half an hour later.

"Jiang Bin is a trained agent. As you said, he has a strong sense of anti-tracking... How many people did you send to follow him?"

"My people will never be lost!"

"One."

Jiang Bin appeared on the street riding a bicycle. When he passed by, Qi Yue drove a truck out of the darkness and followed him from a distance.

"Got it, let's go."

Qi Yue turned off the car lights and drove slowly in the dark.

Qi Yue looked around: "This bridge is the only way back to the city. No matter who Jiang Bin goes to see, he will have to walk here in the end. We will wait here!"

It started to rain.

"Yes."

Qi Yue noticed that there were faint scars on the man's head, indicating that he had been a monk or still was.

Qi Yue braked suddenly and said to Akiyama Yumi: "Quick, go down and take a look!"

"However, I'm still a little worried..."

As a sign of respect, the man reached out and took off his hat, nodded slightly in greeting, and spoke in authentic Northeastern dialect: "He is at Shilixiang Tea House, not far in front, you can see it when you turn the corner."

……

……

After a while, a man wearing a gray cloth jacket and a woolen scarf, which covered most of his face, quickly came to the car window.

In fact, if Qi Yue turned on his headlights, Jiang Bin would think that the vehicle was passing by normally, and instead would relax his vigilance. If a car without headlights rushed over, he should be wary of it.

With a bang, Jiang Bin was knocked into the air and fell into the turbulent Majiagou River.

A cold wind blew.

"When are we going to do it?"

Suddenly hearing the roar of a car behind him, but not seeing the headlights coming, Jiang Bin immediately realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly dodged to one side.

The wind picked up, whistling loudly.

Watching the "monk" disappear into the night, Akiyama Yumi asked: "Vice Captain Qi, where do you think we should start?"

"Black marketeer."

"Don't worry, I will!"

"Who is Lao Kai?"

Qi Yue explained: "Jiang Bin has a strong sense of precaution. He turned on his headlights. He knew there was a car following behind him, so he would definitely be alert."

Akiyama Yumi asked: "Vice Captain Qi, why don't you turn on the lights?"

"There are too many people here, please wait a little longer."

Jiang Bin rode up to Taiping Bridge.

Akiyama Yumi rolled down the window: "Where are the people?"

"And Lao Kai."

"worry about what?"

The man turned and left.

Akiyama Yumi got out of the car, turned on the flashlight, and looked down while holding on to the guardrail. Except for the falling rain, there was nothing on the dark river surface.

……

Six o'clock in the morning.

Qi Yue finished washing and hid the secret letter he wrote last night close to his body. The content of the letter was the autumn crusade strategy. He was going to Xinshi Street to find an opportunity to hand the letter to Yang Feng.

Just as he was getting ready to go out, the phone rang.

He reached for the phone: "Hello?"

"have you woken up?"

On the other end of the phone was Du Juan.

Qi Yue put on his top hat, adjusted his collar in front of the mirror, yawned profusely and said, "I was going to sleep for a while, but you woke me up."

Dujuan smiled and said, "Don't sleep. Come to my place for breakfast. I specially made longan and lotus seed porridge with a little fresh meat. It's very delicious." "Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

The call was immediately hung up.

Qi Yue knew that something must have happened if Du Juan called early in the morning.

When I came out of the house, cold raindrops hit my face. It had been raining all night and there was still no sign of stopping. The temperature dropped significantly.

……

ten minutes later.

Xiaoyu held an umbrella and walked out with a vegetable basket. When she saw Qi Yue coming, she hurriedly said hello: "Good morning, Mr. Qi, the lady is waiting for you."

Qi Yue nodded: "If you go shopping so early, wear more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold."

"Hey."

Xiaoyu lowered his head and left in a hurry.

Qi Yue stood on the steps and watched for a while, then opened the door and entered the house.

Du Juan came forward and said, "I saw you coming, please sit down first and I'll serve you some porridge."

Qi Yue put his briefcase on the table, picked up a newspaper and flipped through it, jokingly said to Du Juan who had already entered the kitchen: "Is there really porridge?"

"If you come to drink porridge, I will definitely have it."

Dujuan brought a dinner plate from the kitchen.

Breakfast is very rich, including longan and lotus seed porridge, fried dough sticks, fried steamed bun slices, fried hairtail, salted duck eggs, plus a sweet and sour pickled cucumber.

"Looking at it makes me appetizing."

Qi Yue pulled out his chair and sat down.

Du Juan handed the chopsticks to Qi Yue: "I cooked the porridge myself. For the sake of me getting up early, whether it tastes good or not, just make do with it."

Qi Yue smiled and said, "It must be delicious if you cook it yourself!"

Du Juan sat down and said coquettishly, "You are becoming more and more glib."

"Oh, it's wrong to praise you, it's really pointless."

Qi Yue shook his head and sighed.

Du Juan picked up a piece of steamed bun and put it on Qi Yue's plate: "Where did you go last night?"

"Taipingqiao. What's wrong?"

"What are you doing at Taiping Bridge?"

"Cause a traffic accident and get rid of Jiang Bin."

"Why do you do this? Jiang Bin is one of our own, you know that."

Qi Yue said: "If I don't do it, someone else will do it. If I don't do it, I will lose Junichiro Shibuya's trust in me. Besides, I turned off the car lights at that time just to warn Jiang Bin that he The water is very good and should survive.”

Du Juan said: "Even so, according to regulations, you should report in advance."

"The situation is urgent and there is no time to report."

Qi Yue picked up the spoon and took a sip of the porridge and praised: "Well, it tastes good."

Then he added: "I'm not being glib, it's really delicious."

Du Juan smiled, and then said: "Jiang Bin is indeed not dead. He hid in the contact person's house. The contact person reported to the station manager overnight that it was you who hit Jiang Bin with the car. You need to explain this matter to the station manager in person."

"Explain what?"

Qi Yue took a piece of pickled cucumber and put it into his mouth.

Du Juan said: "Jiang Bin was seriously injured. Three of his ribs were broken, his legs were broken, and his waist seemed to be injured. We originally planned to arrange for him to leave Binjiang, but he insisted on not leaving, claiming that he would seek revenge from you. You take matters into his own hands Tell it clearly, Station Master Qiu will find a solution."

Qi Yue thought for a while: "You can tell it for me, isn't it the same?"

Du Juan shook his head: "Not this time."

"why?"

"Don't ask, just go."

"How did Jiang Bin know it was me who hit him?"

"Jiang Bin was worried that the killer would not let him go and would not come out of the water. If you asked someone to get out of the car to check, he heard you. He could hear your voice."

Qi Yue smiled: "Actually, I let him hear it on purpose."

Dujuan was surprised: "On purpose?"

Qi Yue put a piece of fried hairtail on Du Juan's plate, and explained: "If he hears my voice, he will think that the Secret Service wants to kill him. In that case, he will definitely not dare to show up again. If he is allowed to The misunderstanding was a traffic accident. If he went to the hospital, he would be trapped. "

"Oh, I see……"

Du Juan suddenly realized.

Qi Yue asked: "Do you think this explanation makes sense?"

"It should work."

"That's good. Xiaoyu hasn't been unusual lately, right?"

"It's the same as usual. I've already told her that she won't be needed until the end of this month."

"What did she say?"

"she cried."

"……Cried?"

"Asked her why she was crying, but she didn't say..."
