Chapter 283 Have You Ever Been Poor
Table 17.

Young men and women talked in low voices.

"Shufen, why did you stop me just now?"

"Ishihara must be protected by guards. The two people who went to the bathroom with him looked fierce, especially the short guy, whose eyes were like knives. I'm worried that you might do something before you make a move... Yumin, I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of? I have a gun."

"What are you talking about? When Big Brother wakes up, he will guess that you took the gun away... Yumin, I think it's better to forget it. Since I joined the Iron Blood Group, I have been worried all day long. I can't sleep well. I always feel that someone is watching me in the dark."

Shufen was worried.

Yumin frowned, "You're here again. You insisted on joining even though we didn't allow you to. And then you backed out at the slightest provocation. Shufen, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but people like you who are not determined should not get involved with us!"

Shufen felt aggrieved: "I joined the Iron Blood Group because of you..."

At this moment, a policeman entered the restaurant, looked around for a while, walked to table 17, pulled out a chair and sat down, looked at Yumin and Shufen who were uneasy, and said with a straight face: "Finally found you, where is my gun?"

"I do not see it……"

"In Yumin..."

Yumin and Shufen said in unison.

Yumin glared at Shufen angrily.

Shufen said, "Yumin, we all know that you like guns. Big brother won't blame you. You've played with them for the whole morning and you've had enough. Give them back to me."

After hearing Shufen's explanation, the policeman's expression softened and he said to Yumin, "For Shufen's sake, I'll let you go this time. If you do it again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you! Bring it out!"

Yumin reluctantly took out a Nambu-style pistol and placed it on the table.

The policeman checked the magazine, put the gun into the holster, and looked at the two steaks brought by the waiter: "Yumin, our family is not rich, so try not to come to such an expensive place."

"I came here with someone else..."

Yumin and Shufen were strolling along Central Avenue when they unexpectedly met Ishihara. They followed him into a western restaurant, ready to take action.

The police asked, “Who did you come with?”

Yumin knew he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed the subject: "A friend of mine said the steak here is delicious, so I followed him in. By the way, brother, how did you find us?"

The policeman sighed, "I was afraid you might get a gun and cause trouble for me, so I didn't sleep and spent the whole morning looking for you. Shufen asked you to go shopping, so I guessed you were going to Central Avenue, and I saw your bicycle parked in front of the restaurant, so I came here. Okay, have dinner, I'm going home."

Shufen said, "Let's eat together. Madiel's black pepper steak is very famous."

"No, you guys eat. I'm on night shift tonight and I have to go back and catch up on some sleep. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold on at night."

The policeman stood up and walked towards the restaurant door.

When he got closer, Qi Yue stepped forward and said, "Officer Zheng, what a coincidence."

Policeman Zheng Yuxin from the Binjiang Railway Section Police Department looked Qi Yue up and down and said, "Sir, do we know each other?"

"We met in Police Academy Alley, outside Chief Gao's home. My last name is Qi."

"Oh, I remember..."

"Officer Zheng came alone?"

"No, my brother is having dinner here, and I have something to talk to him about."

"Is that so? Fine then, you get busy."

"See you."

Zheng Yuxin walked out of the restaurant.

...three o'clock in the afternoon.

Taipingqiao Flea Market.

Jiang Bin lowered the brim of his hat and walked quickly. When he passed the alley, he saw a car on the street roll down its window. In the car was Qi Yue, who had been waiting for a long time.

Jiang Bin slowed down his pace and observed the surroundings. This place was relatively quiet, the weather was cold, and there were few pedestrians on the street. He did not find any spies ambushing in secret, so he felt a little more at ease.

Qi Yue motioned Jiang Bin to get in the car.

Jiang Bin walked closer: "What do you want to do?"

Qi Yue said: "Get in the car, if I want to catch you, you can't run away."

Jiang Bin reached out and opened the back door of the car.

Qi Yue said: "Sit in the front."

Jiang Bin walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and leaned down to sit in. He had originally planned to sit in the back seat so that he would have a chance to control Qi Yue, but now it seemed impossible.

The car is moving.

The sky is clouded over.

"How did you know I was here?"

Jiang Bin asked.

Qi Yue said: "If I say it was a coincidence, you definitely won't believe me, but it really was a coincidence. I came here to do some work and just happened to see you."

Jiang Bin snorted: "I won't believe you."

Qi Yue sighed, "Jiang Bin, we have known each other for almost four years. Apart from the past six months, we have basically lived and eaten together. When we were in the New Beijing Police Academy, we were inseparable. But who could have thought that we would be in this situation today."

Jiang Bin was silent for a while, then slowly said, "You didn't expect it, but I had expected it a long time ago. This situation is doomed. From the beginning, I knew that this day would come sooner or later."

"So, you joined the Cheka when you were in the police academy, right?"

Qi Yue lit a cigarette and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to arrest you. Sergei was able to escape unscathed. If I arrest you, it will be a waste of effort. At most, I will trouble your comrade Su Lian to make an extra trip to the police station."

Jiang Bin said: "How can you be sure that I am a member of the Cheka?"

Qi Yue said: "Some time ago, I went to the youth hostel and found a blank document in the wastebasket of Sergei's room - that thing should have been in the wooden box at home. In addition, there was also half a cigar and a whole bottle of sulfathiazole."

"What does this mean?"

"At least it can be explained that the person who sneaked into my house was Sergei. He was shot in the chest with a poison needle, and the wound became infected and festered. He needed to take the anti-inflammatory drug sulfathiazole. The half cigar is the brand you often smoke. It is not available on the market. If I guess correctly, it should be bought from the black market, right? There was a time when you claimed to have quit smoking and gave me two boxes."

Jiang Bin said calmly, "Detective Qi, just based on half a cigar, you said that Sergei and I were accomplices and agents of the Cheka. Isn't this too much of a joke? You have to know that if I can buy this brand of cigar, others can buy it too."

Qi Yue smiled and said, "Jiang Bin, why are you doing this? Admitting that you are a Cheka will do you a lot of good. If you admit it, no one will arrest you. At most, you will be like Sergei, signing a confession and being expelled from the country. If you don't admit it, then who is the organization behind you? The Kuomintang? The Communist Party?"

Jiang Bin's face was gloomy.

Qi Yue continued, "Okay, since you want evidence, I'll tell you more. Last time, you called me and told me that Sergei intended to harm Bai Xue. I'm very grateful for that. But I want to ask, how did you, a wounded soldier who had difficulty walking, accurately grasp the situation? The reason is very simple. You and Sergei were in the same group. He told you the plan before he took action!"

Jiang Bin breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, just like you said, admitting my Cheka identity will do me a lot of good and no harm. I admit that I am indeed a Cheka undercover agent planted in the police department."

Qi Yue asked: "How long have you joined?"

Jiang Bin thought for a moment and said, "Now that things have come to this, it's okay to tell you... As early as when I was training at the Xinjing Police Academy, the Cheka sent someone to contact me and persuade me to join their organization. I only thought about it for one night and agreed."

Qi Yue said, "You are a Manchu, why do you want to work for the Sulian people?"

Jiang Bin looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Qi Yue, have you ever been poor?"
