Chapter 44 Another Spy

"On what basis do you suspect him?"

Xu Tiehu asked.

Qi Yue said: "There are many. Jiang Bin appeared in Guangju Teahouse, probably because he guessed the code word of the missing person notice. He wanted to see who Tsing Yi is! If he is not a traitor, why would he do such a thing?"

Xu Tiehu said: "You saw Jiang Bin appear, so you didn't dare to show up?"

"Yes."

Qi Yue admitted.

Xu Tiehu hesitated and said: "Jiang Bin went to Guangju Tea House, maybe it's just a coincidence..."

Qi Yue said: "As an agent, the most unbelievable thing is a coincidence!"

Xu Tiehu nodded: "I will report this matter to the organization for further verification. Besides this matter, are there any other doubts?"

Qi Yue said: "There is also what happened at the North City Gate not long ago."

Xu Tiehu thought for a while: "You mean, the time the cover materials left the city?"

Qi Yue nodded: "That's right."

Xu Tiehu said: "But as far as I know, if Jiang Bin hadn't acted accordingly, not only the materials would not be able to get out of the city, but even Political Commissar Zhang would be in danger."

Qi Yue said: "That can only show that he is deliberate! Let me talk about the doubts first. The person in charge of the inspection at the north city gate that day was a second lieutenant surnamed Ruan. If the people from the Secret Service Department did not arrive, the batch of goods could leave the city smoothly. I I have a question, even if the city defense team inspects the vehicles, isn't Jiang Bin worried about accidents?"

Xu Tiehu said: "It shouldn't take much to bribe one or two soldiers..."

Qi Yue said: "There may be medicine in a large cart of refined salt, plus Commissar Zhang of the teaching brigade, if he only hopes to bribe one or two soldiers, it would be too much of a joke, unless he bribes Second Lieutenant Ruan, he will be more confident. He's the top officer at the checkpoint."

Xu Tiehu groaned silently.

Qi Yue said: "You may think—many people will think so. Jiang Bin has done so much work for the organization. It can be said that he has made outstanding achievements repeatedly. How could he be a traitor in the military?"

Xu Tiehu looked at him, waiting for him to finish speaking.

Qi Yue said: "In my analysis, the military command is playing a big game, let Jiang Bin make more contributions, make great contributions, and strive to enter the decision-making level of the Binjiang Prefectural Committee. To put it simply, they are planning for the future!"

Xu Tiehu's face was uncertain, and after a long while, he said slowly: "According to what you said, it's not impossible. However, if Jiang Bin bribed Second Lieutenant Ruan in advance, the suspicion would naturally be eliminated..."

Qi Yue interrupted and said: "If he bribes Second Lieutenant Ruan, it will be even more suspicious!"

Xu Tiehu was stunned: "...why?"

Qi Yue said flatly: "Because Second Lieutenant Ruan is a member of the military commander."

Xu Tiehu was very surprised: "Second Lieutenant Ruan is a member of the military command? Are you sure?"

Qi Yue said: "Basically yes. I now suspect that Jiang Bin is the lurker who broke into our side by the military commander. This makes sense. He doesn't need to bribe anyone at all. When he leaves the city, in order to make it easier for Second Lieutenant Ruan to identify himself, Political Commissar Zhang and the others will wear some symbols, such as white towels and the like.”

Xu Tiehu frowned, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back: "Although what you said has a certain truth, there is still a lack of evidence. If you suspect your own people based on guesswork, I'm afraid..."

"I have a ready-made screening method."

"what way?"

"Potassium cyanide was used to poison Liu Dacheng. Potassium cyanide is a highly toxic drug. It can't be bought anywhere. The Secret Service will definitely investigate after the incident. Jiang Bin himself will not take the risk to buy the medicine. It should be someone else. his……"

Qi Yue's method is very simple, using the source of potassium cyanide to determine Jiang Bin's true identity.

Xu Tiehu said: "Even if the potassium cyanide does not come from our side, how can it be concluded that Jiang Bin has no other purchase channels? Such as the black market."

Qi Yue said: "There are spies in the black market. With Jiang Bin's identity, it is definitely not convenient to show up in that kind of place. Besides, there is not enough time. It took only two days from Liu Dacheng's arrest to his rebellion. Suddenly, he couldn't have been so fully prepared."

Xu Tiehu pondered for a long time: "You've been talking for a long time, and it's all speculation without evidence..."

Qi Yue was also a little anxious: "That night, the city defense patrol team went out of the city to pursue, and the car blew out halfway. Don't you think it's a coincidence? Combined with what I said earlier, it was obviously the work of Second Lieutenant Ruan!"

Xu Tiehu asked: "Do you think Second Lieutenant Ruan did it?"

"It can only be him. After Jiang Bin got the news, he called the military command, and the military command informed Second Lieutenant Ruan—this is the most reasonable explanation!"

Qi Yue said firmly.

Xu Tiehu said: "But the comrades of the Binjiang Prefectural Committee told me that it was Jiang Bin who rushed to the North City Gate in time and tampered with the truck while no one was paying attention, which caused the car to blow out halfway."

Qi Yue said: "The truck stopped at the checkpoint, how did Jiang Bin avoid so many eyes?"

Xu Tiehu said: "I also raised doubts about this issue, but the prefectural committee believes that Jiang Bin has outstanding skills and is capable of accomplishing this matter, so I can't say anything more."

Qi Yue was silent for a moment: "In short, I have reported everything that should be reported. No matter what the final result is, I implore the organization to investigate thoroughly!"

After saying this, he got up to leave.

Xu Tiehu hurriedly stopped him: "Sit down first, I have something to tell you."

Qi Yue had no choice but to sit down again.

Xu Tiehu asked: "Besides me, have you contacted anyone else?"

Qi Yue said, "No."

Xu Tiehu said: "Comrade Tsing Yi, the information you provided is very important. I will truthfully report to the superiors. Whether Jiang Bin is a military traitor or not will be found out soon... Oh, by the way, you came today just in time. I am here. I have something ready for you."

Behind Qiyue is a high and low cabinet.

Xu Tiehu walked over, opened one of the drawers, took out a thick notebook, and handed it back to Qi Yue: "This is Lao Qin's relic, it looks like a diary or an essay, and I don't quite understand it. Maybe it’s left for you, maybe you can take a look.”

Qi Yue took the notebook.

When Xu Tiehu closed the drawer, he quietly took out a rope as thick as a thumb.

He slowly approached Qi Yue, pretending to be concerned and asked: "How is it, do you see anything?"

"not yet……"

Qi Yue focused on flipping through the notebook.

Xu Tiehu leaned forward suddenly, and tightly strangled Qi Yue's neck with a rope.

Qi Yue was defenseless and was hit by the opponent.

He struggled, trying to tear the rope.

"Back in the mountains, I strangled a wolf to death with my bare hands, you just accept your fate! You are right, Jiang Bin is not the only spy, the other is me! I didn't want to kill you, but you know too much, If you don't die, Jiang Bin will be in danger!"

Xu Tiehu continued to increase his strength.

Qi Yue was dizzy and gradually lost his strength.
