Chapter 72
at this time.

Xiaoxiang Garden Restaurant.

There is a sign that reads "Today's Inventory" on the door.

The restaurant was empty.

The clerk Ah Fu has gone out, and now there is only Wang Chunlin in the store. He sits at the counter and carefully records the recent expenses.

These are all the activities of the central government, and the financial details must be clear so that they can be reviewed by the superiors afterwards. Words that cannot be written on the surface, such as guns and ammunition, are generally replaced by code words.

A man with a burden on his shoulders and a bamboo hat walked in.

Wang Chunlin looked up and thought it was a customer who came to eat, so he said, "I'm sorry, the shop is taking inventory in the afternoon and is temporarily closed."

The man in the bamboo hat accompanied him with a smiling face: "The boss's business is booming, and he will make a lot of money. Do you want to have a look at the good seasoning? The price is guaranteed to be the lowest, and you can buy more to get cheaper. Aniseed, Chinese pepper, dried chili..."

"No, no, you didn't see the inventory sign."

Wang Chunlin said impatiently.

The man in the bamboo hat came closer and said in a low voice, "Brother Chunlin, don't come here without any harm."

Wang Chunlin was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked him up and down.

The man in the bamboo hat took off the hat that covered half of his face.

He was 35 and six years old, with a dark red face, a shaved face, and piercing eyes.

Wang Chunlin said pleasantly, "Brother Ying Xin..."

The man in the hat made a silent gesture.

Wang Chunlin said: "It's okay, I'm the only one in the shop, Brother Ying Xin, am I dreaming?"

The man in the hat smiled and said, "It's daydreams..."

The man in the hat was named Li Yingxin. He and Wang Chunlin were both veteran agents of the Party Affairs Investigation Section, and they hadn't seen each other for five or six years.

"The headquarters sent me this time, one is to support the Tianlei plan, and the other is to eliminate internal spies!"

Li Yingxin briefly explained the purpose of his visit.

He put down the pick, took out various seasonings from it, and placed them on the counter: "If anyone comes in, just say we are discussing the price of seasonings."

Wang Chunlin asked, "What's the matter with eliminating the traitors you just mentioned?"

Li Yingxin said: "Ah Shui is a Communist Party!"

"Ah Shui, the Communist Party?"

Wang Chunlin's eyes widened in surprise.

Li Yingxin said: "It's absolutely true. Someone saw him in the Communist Party's Special Branch General Affairs Division."

"Unexpectedly, Ah Shui is actually a Communist Party..."

Wang Chunlin murmured.

Li Yingxin said, "You don't need to do anything, I'll take care of him."

Wang Chunlin said: "There is no need to solve it."

"........."

"Ah Shui is dead."

"died?"

"Correct."

Wang Chunlin briefly explained the matter.

Li Yingxin said little by little: "It turns out that it is like this. I just came to Binjiang, so I don't know the situation very well... This is good, and it saves a lot of trouble."

Wang Chunlin was silent, and slowly inspected the seasoning in his hands. The action team had a traitor, and the team leader himself must have been investigated.

From the current point of view, it should be fine for the time being.

Otherwise, Li Yingxin would not have come looking for him.

Li Yingxin saw his thoughts and said, "Chunlin, don't have any worries. As far as I know, the headquarters still trusts you very much."

"I know what to do," Wang Chunlin said.

Li Yingxin said: "The other thing is, on the issue of traitors, the headquarters requires that we must cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, so as to never cause future troubles!"

Wang Chunlin asked, "What does it mean to cut grass and roots?"

Li Yingxin said: "Anyone introduced by Ah Shui to join the Central Committee will be eliminated, for example, those two activists from the Three Youth League."

Wang Chunlin thought for a while: "How do the higher-ups plan to deal with them?"

Li Yingxin said: "Expulsion, never hire!"

Wang Chunlin nodded: "Alright, the two of them are too edgy..."

When the door curtain was raised, Ah Fu was sweating profusely, and walked in with a vegetable basket.

Li Yingxin put on the bamboo hat, and said in a low voice, "Boss, these seasonings are genuine and cheap, so buy some."

Wang Chunlin said in a low voice, "It's my own."

"In an emergency, put two blue bricks on the left side of the door, and I will find a way to contact you. Also, don't reveal my identity to anyone."

Li Yingxin deliberately lowered his hat.

Ah Fu approached and said to Wang Chunlin, "Uncle, today's fish is so fresh, it weighs three catties, and it only cost seventy cents..."

While speaking, he winked at Wang Chunlin.

"Let me see, don't let the fish monger fool you."

Wang Chunlin followed into the back kitchen.

Ah Fu opened the curtain and took a look outside.

Li Yingxin picked up the picks slowly.

Wang Chunlin said, "Don't worry about him, let's talk about you."

Ah Fu was worried, and whispered in Hunan dialect: "I found out, I don't know why, the Secret Service Division arrested a man named Wang Liansheng."

Wang Chunlin asked, "What does Wang Liansheng do?"

"A detective from the Police Department."

"Why did you arrest him?"

"I don't know."

"Where did the news come from?"

"Sai Yuhuan, the daughter-in-law of Jingshui Shenliu Shuyu, she knows Wang Liansheng."

"okay, I get it."

Wang Chunlin turned to go out.

Ah Fu hurriedly said: "There is one more thing..."

Wang Chunlin asked, "What's the matter?"

"I just met Zhao Yuru and Dangdang on the street. They seemed to have had an argument. Neither of them spoke. Dangdang went to Qi Yue's house. I felt that something was wrong. I stared at it secretly for a while. After a while, Dangdang took that A little black dog was carried out, but within a few steps, the little black dog broke free and ran back, Dangdang stood in the alley for a while, went to the street to buy chicken livers and went back..."

Wang Chunlin asked, "Where is Zhao Yuru?"

"It seems to be going back directly..."

Afu is not very sure.

He is alone, and he can't care about the two, so he can only choose to follow one of them.

Li Yingxin carried the burden and left the restaurant.

……

No. 14 Huaihua Lane.

"Why didn't you leave?"

Qi Yue asked Dangdang.

"Miss intends to go back, but she hasn't left yet..."

Dangdang explained.

Qi Yue said: "Oh, I see, you are going to take the black girl back."

Dangdang was depressed: "I would like to, but the black girl refuses to go with me. Forget it, since it likes this place, let it stay. Alas, please try to ask Dong Liushui, don't care about anyone!"

Qi Yue smiled and said: "From ancient times to the present, dogs are called kings, and you are No. 1."

Dangdang said: "Sincerity and magnanimity are a gentleman, but looking at the world, how many people can truly be sincere and magnanimous? I'm afraid there are not many people, but they are dogs. They never pretend, so why not be called a gentleman?"

Qi Yue nodded: "There is some truth."

Dangdang stood up: "I'm going back, in the future, I won't come again."

Qi Yue asked, "Where did you study?"

Dangdang said: "I have never read a book... I am usually taught by the young lady."

The maidservant was born in poverty, and had no chance to go to school at all, and Dangdang's speech and behavior looked more like formal education.
