Chapter 43 Screening
"There are several bookstores near the school, which one are you talking about?"

Qi Yue asked.

Jiang Bin said: "Popular Bookstore, the one opposite Hongguang Barber."

Qi Yue said: "Of course I remember. The boss's surname is Qin, and he is from the same town as me. Unfortunately, he is a very nice person. He suffered a heart attack. If he says nothing, he will be gone."

Jiang Bin sighed and said, "Oh, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable..."

The news of Lao Qin's death, there are not a few people in the Central Police Academy who know about it, and when talking with each other, it is inevitable that they feel a little sad. In more than two years, many of them have patronized the popular bookstore.

Lao Qin was kind to others, and he was always polite to those students who read books like Qi Yue, and he would not show his face just because he didn't buy books.

Everyone is the same. They may not feel the death of strangers, but they will be more or less touched by the sudden death of familiar people.

"Why did you mention Boss Qin all of a sudden?"

Qi Yue took the thermos bottle to refill the teacup.

Jiang Bin pretended to be casual and said: "Let's chat, talk wherever you want... Well, I remember, you often went to the popular bookstore at that time."

Qi Yue said: "I went there a few times at the beginning, but I basically stopped going later."

"Why don't you go?"

"His house doesn't have all the books, the environment is not good, and there is no place to sit. The newly opened Guangming Bookstore not only has seats, but also provides free hot water in winter."

"Did you go to Boss Qin's funeral?"

"Jiang Bin, is your brain broken?"

"...What's wrong?"

"You know, I'm a person who believes in Feng Shui, and I seldom attend funerals. The dead have a heavy yin, which affects the luck pattern, understand?"

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot, you are really superstitious..."

Qi Yue corrected and said: "Feng Shui is not a superstition."

Jiang Bin smiled and continued: "You went out early that morning, where did you go?"

"Where are you going? Let me think about it... Oh, isn't Park Young-jae selected by the special attack team? He is about to leave for Jiandao Province to receive special training. I will treat him to a meal as a classmate. OK."

Qi Yue explained.

Jiang Bin half-jokingly said: "This is your fault, don't call me for dinner..."

"You two look down on each other, why do you want to match up a duel?"

Qi Yue picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

In fact, he silently sent Lao Qin off for the last time on the grounds of practice.

The funeral procession passed by the hotel.

At that time, Qi Yue was standing in front of the window.

He was sad, but he couldn't do anything, he could only watch silently. What he lost was not only a revolutionary comrade, but also a good teacher and helpful friend.

To completely ensure confidentiality, any form of contact must be reduced.

"No matter under what circumstances—even if I die, you don't want to come!"

This is what Lao Qin told Qi Yue before he was alive.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy.

……

I made a lot of insinuations, but found no doubts.

Jiang Bin stopped asking.

Since it's small talk, you need to have a degree. It's a very common thing. If you ask endlessly, a fool can see that you have bad intentions.

……

A week later.

into the night.

No. 196, Prosperity Lane.

A very unremarkable ordinary house.

Xu Tiehu pushed the bicycle into the courtyard and locked it, then turned around and locked the courtyard door.

This is his new residence.

Prosperity Lane is not far from Xinshi Street.

It's only 10 minutes away by bike.

After entering the house, Xu Tiehu reached out to touch the light cord, but stopped in mid-air.

He felt a strange atmosphere.

There was a shovel behind the door.

This is a self-defense weapon he specially prepared.

In case a thief broke into the house, it would be impossible to fight the opponent with bare hands.

Unexpectedly, it was used so quickly!
Xu Tiehu walked slowly towards the house with a shovel in his hand.

"Mr. Xu, don't be afraid, I mean nothing."

Someone spoke in the darkness.

Xu Tiehu was taken aback, and pulled the light cord, and the room was suddenly bright.

A person wearing a mask - Qi Yue sat on a chair, poised.

Xu Tiehu asked: "Who are you?"

Qi Yue lowered the brim of his hat and tried to cover his eyes: "I am Tsing Yi."

Xu Tiehu was extremely shocked inside, and on the surface he even made a puzzled look: "What Tsing Yi? I'm asking who you are and how you got in. If you don't tell me, I'm going to call someone!"

Qi Yue said: "You don't know how to shout. Sit down."

Xu Tiehu said: "Break into a private house, rape or steal, tell me quickly, who are you?"

Qi Yue said: "I have been following you for the past few days."

"...follow me?"

Xu Tiehu couldn't believe it.

Qi Yue said: "I'm sorry, I have to do this, because I need to identify you. No. 48 Xinshi Street, Taipingqiao Town God's Temple, Japanese Gendarmerie Station, Thyme Noodle Restaurant, Lao Liutou's car repair shop."

"I can not understand what you say."

Xu Tiehu was secretly surprised.

He's been to all these places.

What disturbed him the most was that this person even knew where Yang Feng lived. If he was a spy sent by the enemy, the consequences would be serious.

Qi Yue said: "I violated the organizational discipline by doing this, but I can't help it. Lao Qin is dead. I don't know whether the person who is looking for me is an enemy or a friend..."

"Are you really Tsing Yi?"

Xu Tiehu asked.

Qi Yue said, "I am."

"Who is your superior?"

"Old Qin."

"What is your mission?"

"Live down."

Xu Tiehu asked again: "When you met Lao Qin, what was your identity?"

This is the most critical question.

Because Lao Qin once mentioned that "Tsing Yi" is a student.

Qi Yue replied: "Student."

Xu Tiehu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also worried that this person was a fake, because it meant that Binjiang's underground organization had no secrets and was under the control of the enemy anytime, anywhere.

"After Lao Qin's death, the Xinjing Prefectural Committee contacted you many times, why didn't you respond?"

Xu Tiehu continued to ask.

Qi Yue said, "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"Not long after Lao Qin passed away, I also graduated and went directly to Binjiang. As for what happened in Xinjing, I have no idea."

"Some time ago, did you see the missing person notice published in "Kant News"?"

"I saw it."

"But you didn't go to the connection."

"I went, but it's not convenient to show up."

"Is there a spy here?"

"should be."

"What should it be?"

"I'm not sure either."

Xu Tiehu nodded slightly.

This barrage of questioning was actually to identify Qi Yue's identity.

"Take off the mask."

Xu Tiehu said.

Qi Yue was silent for a while: "Sorry, I can't take off the mask. It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't know who to trust..."

Xu Tiehu's eyes flashed: "Speak directly, don't beat around the bush!"

Qi Yue said: "I suspect that there are spies among us! Maybe there are more than one!"

Xu Tiehu said, "Who do you suspect?"

"Jiang Bin."

Qi Yue said slowly.
