The train driver in the courtyard

Name: Chen Zhongpu
Age: 23 years old

Education: Primary school education

(Graduated from the Second-Class Primary School in Xinfeng County, but the diploma was lost. The primary school was bombed by the Japanese during the war, so further investigation is impossible)
Unit: Temporary worker at Dayou Telecom Repair Shop.

In the backyard of the Central South Institute.

Although it was late at night, a row of offices were lit with dim lights.

The incandescent bulb hanging from the ceiling crackled.

Li Aiguo looked at the records in the file and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

That’s right, these days the store responsible for selling and repairing electrical appliances has a resounding name called – Telecommunications Repair Shop.

Ahem, it turns out that the industry with the longest history is actually telecommunications
[The word telecommunication had already appeared before liberation.

Chapter 41 of "Strange Events Witnessed in the Past Twenty Years": "I received a telegram from Ji and set off immediately."]

Zhou Wenzhong, who was in charge of contacting the local authorities, pointed to the files and said, "Aiguo, since we received your call, we immediately retrieved Chen Zhongpu's files.

We also contacted the relevant personnel of Dayou Telecom Repair Shop.

We learned that Chen Zhongpu started working in the repair shop last month through the introduction of Chen Laodie (formerly known as Chen Sanshu).

Since entering the repair shop, this person has demonstrated strong business capabilities and is particularly good at repairing various radio equipment.

If it is not a telecommunications repair shop, it is under special management because it has access to radio equipment.

It is much more difficult to become a full-time employee than in other units.

Now Chen Zhongpu has become a formal employee.

Judging from the files, there is nothing suspicious about Chen Zhongpu. "

He put down the file and looked up at Li Aiguo: "Are you too vigilant?"

Lao Mao knew Li Aiguo's temper. He coughed twice and interrupted Zhou Wenzhong: "Wenzhong, the driver will not start a war without reason."

Zhou Wenzhong realized that he was too anxious, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.

But there was still confusion on his face.

The comrades from those places frowned tightly when they looked at the files.

In their eyes, everything about Chen Zhongpu was perfect except that he was not a member of the organization.

Faced with doubts, Li Aiguo patted the file lightly.

"Chen Zhongpu's parents are long gone, and his so-called primary school education must have been obtained through forced education.

Most of the textbooks used are traditional cultural textbooks such as "Kaiming Chinese Textbook", "World Bookstore Chinese Textbook" and "Shangwu Chinese Textbook".

Even if there are subjects like arithmetic, history, geography, general knowledge etc., they will not involve radio knowledge.

How could Chen Zhongpu be considered proficient in repairing radios after only working in the telecommunications repair shop for half a month? "

[During the Republic of China period, the government also implemented compulsory education, which was called forced education in the early Republic of China, that is, forcing parents to send their children to school, but compulsory education was limited to the primary school stage, that is, the first to third grades of primary school. ]

After these words were spoken, Zhou Wenzhong and the local comrades were speechless.

They all lived through the period before liberation, and they knew clearly that the so-called "forced learning" system in schools was just a way of fooling the people, and that it was already a great achievement for students to be able to read and write.

Lao Mao nodded in appreciation. This kid Li Aiguo was always able to start from life and detect difficult-to-find doubts.

Li Aiguo placed the file on the table and asked, "Do you still remember my criminal profile of Team 3?"

After thwarting the enemy's attempt to blow up the bridge pier, Li Aiguo drew a criminal portrait of the enemies in the third group based on their identities and performance in the two attacks.

Zhou Wenzhong originally thought that Li Aiguo was just entertaining himself.

Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "According to the portrait, the third team came to Wu Han within three months, acted very cautiously, and was good at using local connections."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Wenzhong's voice got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak any more.

Chen Zhongpu's file is bright and beautiful.

But when you look beyond his appearance and analyze his true nature, it turns out that he fits perfectly with the third team's criminal profile.

Li Aiguo's method of criminal profiling actually works.

The so-called criminal profiling method is an investigative technique developed by Li Aiguo, who possesses master-level detective skills, based on Foberle's psychological profiling method and combined with the experience of later generations.

Between 1940 and 1956, due to the impact of World War II and the severe lessons learned on the northern battlefield, the American side was in particular chaos.

In particular, more than 80 consecutive bombings occurred in New York, the crime capital, causing great panic in society.

The American Fobrero may have a bad reputation, but it is a capable unit. It developed a method of criminal psychological profiling to catch criminals and achieved great success.

Later, the Behavioral Sciences Unit (BSU, now called the Investigation Support Unit) was created.
Criminal profiling (also known as criminal psychological profiling) as an investigative technique has gradually become systematized.

The criminal profiling method is most suitable for finding criminals with specific conditions in a vast crowd of people.

Therefore, Li Aiguo only came up with the method of criminal profiling after joining the task force.

The bridge attack was used as a case study to draw a criminal portrait of the third team.

When the criminal portrait matched, Chen Zhongpu's suspicion increased sharply.

At this time, Lao Mao stood up and said, "We who do special work are often confused by the appearance of things. I hope you will learn from Comrade Li Aiguo's criminal profiling method in the future and use it to peel off the surface and get to the essence."

Lao Mao's words defined the nature of the investigation into the case.

Since Chen Zhongpu's behavior fits the criminal profile of the third team.

Then let’s check it out.

With a phone call, the huge machine started working.

Telecom stores, street offices, neighborhood compounds and other units received cooperative investigation notices.

the next morning.

More news about Chen Zhongpu came from the local street office.

After Chen Zhongpu returned to Wuhan, he did not live in the home of his "fiancée" Chen, but instead lived in a private house near Wusheng Road in Hankou.

According to neighbors, a child once accidentally noticed that Chen Zhongpu had a radio.

But Chen Zhongpu flatly denied it, saying that he was just a temporary worker and could not afford a radio at all.

The neighbors originally thought that Chen Zhongpu was just being stingy and didn't want them to borrow the radio, so they didn't take it seriously.

In addition, according to the feedback from Aunt Zhang who lives diagonally opposite Chen Zhongpu's house.

Chen Zhongpu often went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy envelopes and writing paper, but the local street postman never delivered letters for Chen Zhongpu.

A person who originally had no suspicious points at all was put under the spotlight, and the secrets hidden in him were instantly exposed.

But this time, too many secrets were exposed.

Those local personnel who originally didn't care about Chen Zhongpu all looked embarrassed.

They didn't expect that there would be such a big omission in their work.

Li Aiguo did not mean to blame these people for not working actively.

After all, Chen Zhongpu's actions were very subtle, not as ostentatious as eating meat frequently in the compound.

It is impossible for local staff to take care of every detail.

Zhou Wenzhong couldn't help but take a breath when he looked at these clues, and there was a bit more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Li Aiguo.

"Driver Li, your method of criminal profiling is really useful."

"After this case is over, I will give this method to you, how about it?" Li Aiguo said with a smile.

He is not a man who cherishes his own things.

The contribution made by a method of solving a case may be greater than solving several cases personally.

Zhou Wenzhong and staff from local meteorological stations expressed their desire to learn.

The criminal profiling method is extremely useful when conducting large-scale screening.

They can draw a criminal profile of the criminal based on the case.

Then, based on the criminal portrait, we will catch the criminals through our comrades on the street.

The criminal profiling method and the mass mobilization method are a perfect match.
Hey, it’s so fun to get something for free.

Who makes me always get warned by Foberle every time I watch a regular movie?
"Check, get to the bottom of it!"

Based on these clues, Lao Mao determined that Chen Zhongpu was suspicious.

At that time, an order was issued to launch further investigation into Chen Zhongpu.

We must find out Chen Zhongpu's whereabouts before liberation and at the same time carry out all-round surveillance of Chen Zhongpu.

The old cat started to take action.

Director Xing Duan, Lao Zheng, Liu Qingquan and others need to return to the capital.

Li Aiguo took a morning off and left the Central South Institute to see them off.

Wuchang Railway Station.

Li Aiguo sent Xing Duanchang and others to the camping car and waved to them.

"Captain Duan, have a safe trip."

Huang Jing stuck her head out of the window of the camper and said in a depressed tone, "Master, we have completed this driving mission perfectly.

And write all the details into a report and submit it.

Why did the Bridge Authority still let you stay and discuss the technical issues of bridge operation with their experts? "

Huang Jing was particularly depressed.

She wants to become a female train driver as soon as possible.

It turned out that this master was too unreliable. He had missions every two or three days, so he left her in the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

She could only learn to drive a train from her master's master.

Only then did Li Aiguo remember that he was also a person who had an apprentice.

He coughed twice and said, "Huang Jing, I will be able to go back in a few days. You can learn from my master in the next two days. I will check it when I go back."

After chatting for a while, it was time for the train to depart.

Huang Jing suddenly remembered something, took out a chemical comb from her pocket and handed it down through the window.

"Master, I bought this for Chen Hongmei yesterday. I wanted to give it to her as a wedding gift.

As a result, I can’t wait until the day she gets married, so I can only ask you to pass it on to me.”

Wedding Gift Li Aiguo was stunned for a moment, then took the comb and put it into the canvas bag.

He said goodbye to the driver team, then straightened his collar, put his hands in his pockets, and walked into the crowd.

It's like a fish entering the sea and being instantly submerged in the crowd.

On the train, Huang Jing looked at Li Aiguo's back and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words.

After half an hour.

After seeing off the drivers, Li Aiguo returned to the railway locomotive depot guesthouse, took his luggage and prepared to move to the Central South Guesthouse.

As soon as he walked out of the guesthouse, he was seen by Old Man Chen who was riding a tricycle back from outside.

"Driver Li, are you moving away?" Old Man Chen stopped the tricycle and asked.

"Yes, Duan Chang and his men have returned to Beijing. I have to work at the Bridge Bureau these days, so I am staying at the Zhongnan Guesthouse for the time being."

"The Central South Institute is not close to here. Wait for me."

Old Man Chen was very enthusiastic. After moving the vegetables and flour into the noodle shop, he rode his tricycle to take Li Aiguo to the Central South Institute.

Li Aiguo happened to have some matters that he wanted to consult with Old Man Chen, so he put the gifts on the tricycle.

Under the scorching sun.

The wheels of the tricycle kicked up dust and made bursts of noise on the hot road.

Apart from the chirping of cicadas, no other sound could be heard on the road, as if the city was strangled by the high temperature of the sun and all sounds were sunk into it.

After a short while, Old Man Chen's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.

"It's so hot today, I'm really sorry to trouble you." Li Aiguo sat on the tricycle and chatted with Old Man Chen.

After talking for a few words, Li Aiguo changed the subject and asked, "Dad, Hongmei's fiancé is your relative, you should be very familiar with him, right?"

Old Man Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I met Zhongpu once when he was little, and he was only three or four years old at that time.

Then the war broke out and the whole family lost contact.

If Nakaura hadn’t come to see me last year, I would have thought that their whole family was gone.”

"So, you don't know what Chen Zhongpu looks like?" Li Aiguo asked.

Old Man Chen frowned: "Isn't he just like this? Driver Li, what are you talking about?!"

The weather was dry, and the leaves turned brown and dry. Sometimes a few dead leaves would float in the dust and fall on the tricycle.

Li Aiguo picked up a dry leaf, squeezed it gently, and the leaf broke into pieces.

Li Aiguo did not answer his question, but asked instead: "I think those two children are a good match. Are they engaged as children?"

"That's not the case. It's that kid from Zhongpu who, after getting to know us, really likes our Hongmei.

Girls should get married when they grow up, and Hongmei has no objection.

This child is also my relative, and I know him well, so I agreed."

Old Man Chen is an old-fashioned man. He always feels embarrassed when talking about matters between men and women.

After a few vague words, he suddenly said, "Driver Li, I forgot to tell you that they are getting married in five days."

"Isn't there still more than ten days left?"

"Well, Zhongpu said that the telecommunications repair shop has been very busy lately, and he had a hard time getting leave. If he delays any further, it will be very difficult to get leave again." said Old Man Chen.

Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Compared with Chen Zhongpu’s previous meticulous arrangements, this lie was too lame.

The telecommunications repair shop is a public-private joint venture, so how could it restrict employees from taking leave? Do you really treat these days as the afterlife? Even if your father passes away, you won't approve my leave?
It's hard to believe that Chen Zhongpu realized that he was being investigated.
That is a possibility.

Neither the employees of the telecommunications management store nor the employees of the street office have received professional training and are likely to be discovered by Chen Zhongpu.

When the tricycle arrived at the Zhongnan Guesthouse, Li Aiguo knew that Old Man Chen would not ask for fare, so he took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.

"Dad, thank you for coming this far."

"Hey, kid, what are you doing?"

When Old Man Chen wanted to return the cigarette to him, Li Aiguo had already entered the guesthouse.

Looking at the guards at the door of the guesthouse, Old Man Chen could only put the cigarette in his pocket.

He shouted at Li Aiguo's back, "Driver Li, remember to attend Hongmei's wedding when the time comes."

When Li Aiguo arrived at the backyard, it was a busy scene.

Lao Mao was listening to reports from local comrades. When he saw him come in, he waved to him.

"Aiguo, the first tracking team is reporting the situation, you should come and listen as well."

Li Aiguo moved a chair and sat next to the table.

The first tracking team continued to report on Chen Zhongpu’s itinerary for today.

"This morning, Chen Zhongpu took Chen Hongmei to the Hankou Central Department Store and bought a pair of embroidered pillows, two cotton quilt covers, and also bought her two sets of clothing fabrics.

I took her to Guishan Mountain and to the Yangtze River Bridge.

On the way home, Chen Zhongpu held Chen Hongmei's arm.

No other abnormalities have been found so far, and the second team is continuing to track. "

After finishing the report, Li Aiguo also shared what he had learned.

"Chen Zhongpu is going to marry Chen Hongmei in five days, so we only have five days."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenzhong's face changed suddenly.

Once Chen Zhongpu and Chen Hongmei were allowed to get married and then arrested and executed, the innocent Chen family would become the families of counter-revolutionaries.

Chen Hongmei married a man named Dieter, and her life is over.

Zhou Wenzhong turned his head and looked at the old cat.

pat.

Lao Mao lit up his cigar, took a puff, and his brows were twisted into knots.

"I discussed the whole thing with Zhou Wenzhong and found that we don't have any evidence to identify Chen Zhongpu as the third team. We can't even identify him as Dieter.

If Chen Zhongpu was a lazy person, he would not intend to carry out the mission.

So it is really difficult to find evidence within five days."

Li Aiguo said: "Team leader, you are in the middle of the situation but don't know the situation. Have you forgotten who Chen Zhongpu is?"

"He is from the third group. He came from that side." The old cat slapped his thigh and said, "How could I forget this!"

Zhou Wenzhong also came to his senses and shouted, "This guy is not Chen Zhongpu at all!"

hiss.
The comrades nearby took a deep breath and the temperature in the room rose significantly.

The development of the case is becoming more and more bizarre, and now there is even a possibility of a real and fake Chen Zhongpu.

Many comrades find this possibility too horrifying.

Someone raised the question: "It is very difficult to imitate a person.

You need to know the other person's hobbies, language habits, and look very similar to the person you are imitating in order to avoid being discovered.

We have encountered this situation before, but the guy who imitated it was discovered by his colleagues in less than a week.

It’s just because the original owner liked to eat sweet rice dumplings, and the guy who replaced him ate salty rice dumplings in the morning.”

Lao Mao and Zhou Wenzhong both turned their heads to look at Li Aiguo.

stab.

hiss.
call.
Li Aiguo lit a cigarette and said calmly, "If you pretend to be dead, you won't be discovered."

Old Cat: “.”

Zhou Wenzhong: “.”

Zhou Wenzhong felt that Li Aiguo's thinking was particularly jumpy and he could always start from unexpected directions.

In particular, this direction is exactly the right direction to solve the problem.

After accepting Li Aiguo's opinion, the huge machine started again.

But this time, the result was not what we expected.

According to archival records provided by the telecommunications repair shop, Chen Zhongpu lived in Guangzhou for a long time and worked as a temporary worker in match factories, grain stations and other units.

The investigation team contacted Yangcheng, but found no information related to Chen Zhongpu.

Of course, many temporary workers are not registered and there is a high turnover of staff, which does not mean that Chen Zhongpu is a fake.

Afterwards, the investigation team contacted some relevant departments in the south to expand the scope of the investigation and investigate Chen Zhongpu's situation.
But it was only recently that the country was liberated, and many personnel files were lost during the war.

Not to mention that Chen Zhongpu has no formal work experience and no formal files at all.

The investigation has reached a stalemate.

Although Lao Mao knew that it was unlikely that Yangcheng would be able to provide information, he still ordered various local units in Yangcheng to search for information related to Chen Zhongpu.

Trying to save a dying horse is not Li Aiguo's style.

Now a good girl is about to step into the fire pit.

Li Aiguo took the initiative to step forward.

"Team leader, I know Chen Zhongpu's fiancée Chen Hongmei. I'd better go talk to Chen Hongmei."

Since there was no way to attack Huanglong directly from the front, Li Aiguo decided to inquire about Chen Zhongpu's situation from the side.

This method could not only help him find out Chen Zhongpu's situation, but also would not attract attention, so Lao Mao agreed immediately.

"Aiguo, you went to the bookstore this time to carry out a mission. The books you bought can be reimbursed. I will advance you two dollars for the operation funds."

"Two Yuan Team Leader, I love reading. Teacher Liu Guozhang praised me as a little bookworm. How can two Yuan be enough to buy books?"

"."Laomao remembered Li Aiguo's information.

If there is any suspicious point about Li Aiguo, it is that this guy really loves reading.

Over the years, he has bought no less than a hundred books through Xinhua Bookstore and junk shops.

Lao Mao had always wanted to ask about this matter, but thinking that Li Aiguo was not a regular staff member and reading was just a personal hobby, he didn't feel comfortable asking.

Just now, Lao Mao took the initiative to offer money to buy books, and he also meant to test Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo was not shy at all and took the initiative to ask for more funds, which made Lao Mao feel relieved.

The last doubt disappeared. This guy is indeed trustworthy.

Lao Mao took out ten yuan from his pocket and put it into Li Aiguo's hand.

"That's enough, I guess."

"Hey, thank you, Team Leader. You are my brother."

After taking the money, Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes slightly, pretending to be so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Lao Mao has always been cautious in his actions and knows well that the less you do, the fewer mistakes you will make.

Any of his actions can be magnified for analysis.

When Li Aiguo saw Lao Mao take the initiative to provide funds, he understood his concerns and simply spoke out.

Not only can he investigate cases, but he also explains why he loves reading, he can also dominate the server by studying hard, and he can also get funding.

Four wins.

Our Li Aiguo won four times.

Xinhua Bookstore has a close relationship with the liberation of Wu Han's three towns.

On May 1949, 5, Wuhansan Town was liberated. The work team of the Central Plains Xinhua Bookstore followed the army into the city.

On May 5, a branch was opened for business at the original site of Zhengzhong Bookstore (No. 29, Jianghan Road, Hankou), and Wu Han’s first Xinhua Bookstore was born.

In the following years, Wu Han established Xinhua Bookstores in various counties and districts.

In addition to selling books, Xinhua Bookstore has also become an important place to enrich people's cultural and entertainment activities.

As soon as the Xinhua Bookstore in Caidian opened in the morning, many young people came in.

Chen Hongmei, a clerk at Xinhua Bookstore, started an ordinary and busy day.

"Comrade, if you want to borrow a book, you need to show your library card."

Seeing someone put more than ten books on the counter, Chen Hongmei kindly reminded.

“Bought them all!”

Chen Hongmei raised her head.

Seeing that the person standing in front of him was Li Aiguo, he was surprised and asked, "Driver Li, why are you here?"

"I'm here to buy some books. You may not know this, but as a train driver, I love studying the most.

Didn’t the superior leader say that if you don’t study for three days, you won’t be able to catch up with that person? "

Look at Li Aiguo who loves reading and studying.

Looking at the comic books on the table, "Intestinal Parasites" and "Brief Techniques of Throwing Hand Grenade", Chen Hongmei didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she smiled awkwardly: "Driver Li, you have a wide range of interests."

Li Aiguo straightened his chest and said: "In order to build the motherland and implement the highest instructions, I, a train driver, must also develop in an all-round way morally, intellectually and physically."

Chen Hongmei: “.”
