wind in the dark night

Chapter 294 This is a game
Qi Yue walked around the area, and when it was getting dark and he was sure that no one was paying attention to him, he crossed the road, came to the half-open gate of the courtyard, pushed it open and walked in.

Going to a prostitute's house under the guise of looking for prostitutes can be explained away even if someone sees you. As for Ma Kai, since he is a local and has a name, it is easy to find him.

This is a three-sided courtyard with a spacious patio, four main rooms, side rooms on the east and west sides, and animal sties and toilets. It has everything you need.

At the door of the east wing, the woman in a men's cotton coat showed surprise in her eyes and walked forward quickly: "Officer Qi..."

Qi Yue originally wanted to find out about Ma Kai's situation through Jiang Yuying, but he didn't expect that this woman actually knew him.

"you are?"

"I am Jiang Yuying."

At this moment, the door of the upper house opened, and Mr. Jiang, a man in his sixties, who was very stylish, coughed in a pretentious tone, and walked out of the house with the square steps of an old actor on the stage.

Judging from his clothes, the old guy has quite a bit of the "style" of an old man from the past. He wears a melon-shaped hat inlaid with a white jade hat pin, a double-breasted brocade jacket, a snuff bottle in one hand and a bird cage in the other, with a mynah bird jumping around in the cage.

Seeing the strange man talking to his daughter, Mr. Jiang pretended not to see anything, humming a piece of Xipi Liushui: "Yang Lin fought with me, so I was exiled to Dengzhou. I can't bear to leave the kindness of the master, and I can't bear to leave the yamen runners..."

"Let's talk inside."

Jiang Yuying led Qi Yue into the east wing.

Although it was a wing room, it was also decorated and later changed into a suite. On the wall of the main room, there is a central hall painting "Palace Music Picture" and a couplet on the left and right. The upper couplet reads: Yangzhou dream is good, I wish to be Du Mu for three lives. The lower couplet reads: The lotus tent is warm, but in the end it is just a pillow of yellow beams.

There is a roaring fire in the house.

Jiang Yuying was busy making tea and pouring water.

Qi Yue asked: "Do you know me?"

"Yes."

"Have we met?"

“No, but I know you.”

"........."

Qi Yue was baffled.

Jiang Yuying explained, "You've been in the newspapers. I got to know you from the newspapers. Officer Qi, I've done everything. Isn't it time to fulfill your promise?"

Qi Yue's mind raced, and through Jiang Yuying's words, he could easily make a judgment. By some strange coincidence, Jiang Yuying mistakenly thought that he came to her house to "do what she had promised."

Jiang Yuying continued, "In addition, Ma Kai is a local. He knows everything about everyone's family. The anti-bandit group saw this and used him. He didn't do anything bad, really..."

"You want us to let him go?"

Qi Yue sat on the chair.

Jiang Yuying nodded repeatedly: "Two years ago, he was depressed and ran away from home. On the way, he met a robber, who robbed him of his money and wanted to kill him. It happened that the anti-bandit people passed by and rescued him. He had no other choice, so he joined the anti-bandit movement."

"excusable."

Qi Yue concluded.

After hearing these words, Jiang Yuying was delighted.

Qi Yue thought for a moment and said, "You just said that it's done... Please tell us in detail. If there are any loopholes, we can try to remedy them."

Jiang Yuying said, "Last night, I asked Ma Kai what he was busy with these days. He said that a few friends came to his house, so I gave him five dollars and asked him to treat his friends to a meal at Shunxin Restaurant at noon today. It was a small token of my appreciation. He was very happy and praised me for being loyal and righteous. Oh, just now, he took the newspaper away too."

Qi Yue asked, "What newspaper?" Jiang Yuying said, "The Manchuria Daily News, the one that published the news that you shot and killed the anti-bandit. The newspaper was sent by Officer Xu, who said that it should be placed in a conspicuous place. As long as Ma Kai takes it, the mission will be completed..."

Jiang Yuying became suspicious when she was halfway through her words: "Don't you know about this?"

"Of course I know. I just want to confirm that he took the Manchuria Daily News. If I make a mistake, it will be troublesome..."

Qi Yue understood that Ma Kai and the other three people were all members of the Anti-Japanese United Army Working Group. The reason they appeared in Shunxin Restaurant was not a coincidence, but a trap designed by Gao Kejian.

The "Police Officer Xu" that Jiang Yuying mentioned should be Xu Tao, the leader of the subversion team. Xu Tao is the executor of this bureau. Jiang Yuying was either bribed or a spy developed by Xu Tao.

The specific details of this trip to Lianhua Town were all planned by Gao Kejian. He knew, of course, that Qi Yue would definitely go to school. Even if he didn't go to Shunxin Restaurant to eat, Ma Kai and others sitting in the private room could see the situation outside through the glass.

The question is, what was Gao Kejian’s purpose in designing such a scheme?

"Officer Qi, have some tea."

Jiang Yuying handed over a cup of hot tea.

Qi Yue stood up and walked to the window. After watching Mr. Jiang warming up his voice in the yard for a while, he said to Jiang Yuying, "Excuse me, your father was a former juren, so he is quite well-known. Does he agree with you doing this?"

Jiang Yuying was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "He is a selfish person. He only cares about his own well-being and never cares about whether others are good or bad. He is like this to me and to my mother."

"Isn't he ashamed?"

Qi Yue said with a smile.

Jiang Yuying was very unhappy, but she didn't dare to offend the police sergeant, so she explained, "My father said that in two years, when we have saved enough money, we will sell the house and move to the city. No one will know what I do."

"makes sense……"

Qi Yue knew that once Gao Kejian heard of his conversation with Jiang Yuying, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

How to do it?

Kill her?

It is easy to get rid of Jiang Yuying, but it must be done without leaving any traces, making the whole thing look reasonable to avoid getting into trouble.

Judging from the current situation, he could only wait until the second half of the night and use sleeping pills to make Zhao Zhenhai and Wang Peng sleep longer. Then he could take the opportunity to sneak out and sneak into Jiang Yuying's room to create a scene of burglary and murder...

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound outside the wall, not loud and intermittent.

Qi Yue couldn't help but be secretly surprised, because he heard that this was Zhao Zhenhai's way of using Morse code to ask him if he was safe.

"what sound?"

Jiang Yuying put her ear against the wall.

Qi Yue said: "Maybe the kids were naughty and knocked the wall with stones."

As he spoke, he picked up the ashtray on the coffee table and banged it hard on the wall a few times: "Whose unlucky child are you? Get out of here right now. If you piss me off, I'll go out and beat your ass!"

In fact, he was also using Morse code to convey the message, just two words: safety.

There was another knocking on the wall: someone was coming.

Almost at the same time, there was a thud in the yard and a black shadow jumped down from the top of the wall.
