Li Aiguo felt that he had turned into a caterpillar at this moment.

at last
I stuck my head out of the tunnel and looked around. This should be a dilapidated shack.

The shack was filled with miscellaneous items. Old baskets were randomly piled in the corners, some of which were broken, revealing the uneven strips of bamboo.

Li Aiguo looked around vigilantly, and when he found nothing, he crawled out of the tunnel.

The third team leader and several soldiers followed closely and climbed out.

"It seems like no one has lived here for a long time." Team leader Three looked around.

Li Aiguo stared at the stove in the corner of the shack and nodded. The stove was also covered with dust and cobwebs.

The whole shack was filled with a stale smell, a mixture of the smell of damp earth and the rotten smell of miscellaneous items.

"It's not been a long time since someone has lived here. This shack has probably been uninhabited since it was built. It was specifically used to hide this tunnel."

"A tunnel that is hundreds of meters long and a shack. It really took a lot of effort."

As the third team leader was talking, he took the soldiers to search the shack thoroughly, but they found nothing.

Li Aiguo pushed open the door and walked out, and found that this was the end of Xinren Street, separated from the corner alley by a whole street.

The streets were quiet at this time and every household had turned off the lights.

The third team leader led the soldiers to knock on the door next door and asked if anyone had heard any noise.

The uncle who opened the door knew about the rectification operation and did not panic, but he did not provide any useful clues.

The comrades from the subdistrict office had already informed them that there would be an operation to catch bad guys at night, and asked them to close the doors and windows and stay at home.

"This is going to be difficult. The photon sheet is so big. If Zhang Mu escapes, it will be like a fish entering the sea."

The third team leader took the soldiers to visit a few more families and got similar information. She was a little troubled at this time.

Li Aiguo looked up at the telephone pole.

In this case, what is most needed is Sky Eye, but unfortunately the equipment cannot be installed across servers.

"Team Leader Three, take your men and continue to track down Zhang Mu."

Li Aiguo asked the three team leaders to continue the search operation, while he returned to the command vehicle and contacted the various action teams using the radio.

“This is the command vehicle, this is the command vehicle, there is a serious criminal named Zhang Mu on the run.

He was probably in his forties, short and stocky, with a beard, and spoke with an accent from Heilong City.

Please note that this person is extremely dangerous. When the various action teams discover him, do not act rashly and wait for support on the spot. "

The radio waves instantly spread throughout the entire photon film, and each action team focused their energy on searching for Zhang Mu.

Li Aiguo, however, did not hold out much hope.

If Zhang Mu was indeed a nail planted by the enemy as Wu Hu Yi Deli said, then this person must have received professional training.

No matter how carefully Photon's search plan is arranged, there will inevitably be omissions, and people like them can easily find loopholes.

Thinking that Director Ma had already taken action, Li Aiguo contacted the Meteorological Bureau via radio and reported Zhang Mu's matter.

Director Ma said they would intensify the search for Zhang Mu during the operation.

Half an hour passed and no news came back.

Only three team leaders sent people back to report that they had searched the surrounding area thoroughly but found no clues.

"Team leader three is now leading people to search in the direction of Changyi Street."

"Remind her to be safe!"

After the soldier who brought the news left, Li Aiguo leaned back in his chair, struck a match, and lit a cigarette.

The pungent smoke irritates the lungs, making the whole person become unusually clear-headed.

The situation on Jichun's side seemed to be getting particularly strange.

First there was Zhao Laoshuan, an airborne rat sent by the Americans to cause trouble.

Now a rat that had been hiding for more than a decade has reappeared.

And these two mice are not ordinary mice.

Rather, it was a giant rat that had undergone special training and was an important figure even to the enemy.

At this moment, a ray of light flashed through Li Aiguo's mind.

"Could it be that they both came to Jichun for the same thing?"

Li Aiguo suddenly stood up from his seat, his heart beating violently.

Once this thought came up, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in his heart and making his already tense nerves instantly tense to the extreme.

Li Aiguo began to pace back and forth in the room, his thoughts running wild like a wild horse.

Various clues and possibilities intertwined in his mind, and he tried to piece together the fragmented fragments to form a complete picture.

Unfortunately, because there are too many missing clues, everything can only be called speculation.

"Zhang Mu, where have you been hiding?" Li Aiguo stopped, threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out.

He picked up the radio and prepared to contact the action team again to upgrade the mission level of capturing Zhang Mu.

At this moment, the indicator light on the radio flashed, indicating that someone was contacting the command vehicle.

Li Aiguo picked up the receiver and heard a hurried voice.

"This is Guangren Street Sub-district Office. This is Guangren Street Sub-district Office. Calling the command vehicle. Please reply if you receive this."

"Director Chen, how did you get the radio of the First Action Team?"

The person on the other end was obviously not familiar with how to use the radio. After hearing what Li Aiguo said, he seemed a little at a loss, and a series of crackling sounds came from the receiver.

Seeing that Director Chen couldn't operate the radio, the captain took over, readjusted the signal, and reported: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the people in the block caught a short guy, who is suspected to be Zhang Muzizizi."

The radio signal was interfered at this time, but Li Aiguo had already understood it.

Although it is only suspected to be Zhang Mu, it is still worth going back now.

"Let's go back to Guangren Street Subdistrict Office!"

On this quiet night, the command vehicle sounded its sirens and roared back to Guangren Street.

As soon as the command vehicle entered the compound and stopped, Director Chen and a team leader came to greet us.

"Comrade Commander, the man is locked in the conference room. Go and take a look to see if he is the one you want to arrest."

Li Aiguo followed Director Chen hurriedly into the conference room.

As soon as I opened the door, I smelled a fishy odor.

He covered his nose and looked over, only to see a middle-aged man lying on the ground.

The middle-aged man was short and his body was tied tightly with hemp ropes.

His clothes, pants, and hair were all covered in filth.

"Zhang Mu!" Li Aiguo yelled at the man.

The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo, with a hint of bitterness on his lips.

"Yes, I am Zhang Mu!"

The middle-aged man's cooperation was beyond Li Aiguo's expectations. As a big rat, Zhang Mu should have made excuses for a while. After all, Li Aiguo had never seen him before.

However, Li Aiguo did not listen to one side of the story, nor did he even ask Zhang Mu. Instead, he asked everyone to evacuate the meeting room and sent someone to call Tu Ziqiang over.

"Tu Ziqiang and the others are locked up in the warehouse. I'll go there now!"

A captain left in a hurry, and a moment later he came over with Tu Ziqiang.

Tu Ziqiang had only been detained for a few hours and already looked a little disheveled, with messy hair, bloodshot eyes and chapped lips.

But there were no scars on his body, which was already considered a privilege.

Tu Ziqiang also knew that the preferential treatment he and Shui Ziliu received was inseparable from Li Aiguo.

He trotted over, nodded and smiled at Li Aiguo, "Commander-in-chief, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Aiguo asked, "Are you Master Tiger's apprentice?"

Tu Ziqiang nodded.

"Then you can recognize Master Tiger, right?"

"can!"

"Well, now you come in with me and identify a person."

As he spoke, Li Aiguo pushed open the door and entered the conference room.

Tu Ziqiang looked over with the help of the dim light. When he saw the middle-aged man lying on the ground, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Master Tiger, you were also arrested?"

The middle-aged man lay on the ground, looked at Tu Ziqiang, then looked at Li Aiguo, and finally lowered his head and sighed deeply.

Li Aiguo couldn't help but clench his fists.

This guy is really Zhang Mu!

It's really like searching for a needle in a haystack, but it turns out to be something you haven't found yet.

After confirming Zhang Mu's identity, Li Aiguo took Tu Ziqiang out of the meeting room.

When Tu Ziqiang was about to be taken away by the soldiers, he suddenly stopped and looked at the soldiers: "Comrade, I want to say something to the commander-in-chief."

The soldier looked at Li Aiguo and saw Li Aiguo nodded, then he brought Tu Ziqiang over.

Tu Ziqiang raised his head and said, "Commander-in-chief, I have made up my mind. I will not be a bandit anymore. After serving a few years in prison, I will be a good person."

After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for Li Aiguo to answer.

Li Aiguo no longer had time to think about Tu Ziqiang.

He looked at the messy street office compound, lit a cigarette, took a long puff, and threw the cigarette to the ground.

"Captain One!"

The captain who was preparing to continue arresting people was obviously stunned for a moment.

After confirming that it was Li Aiguo who called him, the captain ran over, stood at attention and saluted: "Commander-in-chief, Captain Zhang Xianming reports in, please give instructions!"

"There are no instructions, only orders."

Seeing that Captain One's attitude was somewhat lax, Li Aiguo's tone became serious: "Captain One, according to the authorization document from the superior, your unit must fully obey our command when necessary. Now, I will issue an order in the name of the commander-in-chief of the rectification operation."

The captain's heart trembled, the smile on his face disappeared, and he stood straight with his feet together.

"Order: The entire subdistrict office compound is to immediately enter a level one combat alert state. All personnel, including members of the action team, are strictly prohibited from entering but not leaving.

Immediately cut off the telephone lines between the subdistrict office and the outside world. All contact is strictly prohibited. If anyone resists, arrest them immediately!

The order will be carried out until my superiors revoke it. This is not a drill.

Repeat it again!"

Captain One's expression changed drastically, but as an old comrade, he instantly entered work mode and repeated Li Aiguo's words.

After seeing that the captain's retelling was correct, Li Aiguo said, "Immediately send someone to close the gate of the subdistrict office and arrange a squad of soldiers to guard the gate. If anyone dares to break through, they can open fire freely!"

"Yes!"

A captain felt a chill on his back and cried out in his heart: Something big has happened, something big has happened!

"Take action!"

"Yes!"

A captain turned around and shouted to the team members who were about to set off: "Emergency mission, block the gate, quickly block the gate."

After a moment's pause, the team members immediately drew their pistols and rushed towards the gate.

The gate was closed, the telephone lines were cut, and the entire neighborhood office compound was immediately shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

The street office officials who participated in the operation, the public security comrades transferred from the district, and the comrades from the armed forces all felt that something was wrong.

Led by Minister Zhang of the Armed Forces Department, they came to the command vehicle.

Minister Zhang looked at Li Aiguo and asked, "Commander-in-chief, what happened? If we don't set off now, we will definitely not be able to complete the mission before eight o'clock in the morning."

Li Aiguo said bluntly: "Hand over all the weapons you have."

Minister Zhang looked at Li Aiguo in disbelief. At this time, Li Aiguo waved to the captain, and the captain came over with several soldiers.

Minister Zhang also knew that something big had happened at this time.

"Everyone obey the orders of the commander-in-chief!" Minister Zhang shouted at those people.

Those people then handed over the pistols, rifles, flares and other weapons to the captain. "Old Zhang, thank you for your cooperation. Now I have to trouble you to go to the warehouse for a while."

Seeing that these people had surrendered their weapons, Li Aiguo said something coldly and turned to get into the command vehicle.

Minister Zhang and the staff looked at each other, obviously feeling that they were not trusted. However, their weapons were gone and there were still soldiers with rifles and short guns around them.

Minister Zhang knew Captain Yi and they had even had a drink together before.

However, he believed that if he dared to move now, the captain would shoot without hesitation.

"Let's go, something big must have happened. What we need to do now is to cooperate with the commander-in-chief's actions. If anyone dares to cause trouble, don't blame me, Old Zhang, for being rude!"

At this time, Minister Zhang, as the leader of the discipline department, took the lead. He led the staff into the small warehouse and let the door be locked from the outside.

After arranging everything, Li Aiguo got into the command vehicle and used the radio to contact Director Ma who was guarding the Meteorological Bureau.

"It's patriotism. We are making good progress here. We have arrested more than 20 people related to Zhao Laoshuan, but we haven't found any trace of Zhang Mu."

Li Aiguo couldn't suppress his impulse and excitement and said, "Lao Ma, we caught him. We have caught Zhang Mu here."

"What! Where?"

"He was caught by the local residents of Xinren Street and is currently being held in the street office."

Director Ma, as an old comrade at the weather station, was particularly vigilant. "Patriotic comrade locked up in the street office, I suggest you seal off the street office immediately."

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Li Aiguo had already blocked the entire street office in advance.

"Wait a minute. I'll send someone to bring Zhang Mu back to the weather station."

Comrades who work in meteorology are aware that when performing their tasks, they can never be too cautious.

Especially for a person like Zhang Mu, who may have a big secret, no mistakes can be made.

After half an hour.

There was a roar of a truck outside.

Li Aiguo asked a team leader to look outside through the crack in the door and confirmed that it was Director Ma who had brought people here in person, and then he opened the door.

"Where is Zhang Mu?"

"It's in the conference room. There are more than a dozen soldiers guarding it."

Director Ma didn't bother to exchange pleasantries. He walked into the meeting room, took Zhang Mu to the truck, and then the truck roared all the way towards the weather station.

Li Aiguo stayed behind to do some post-disaster work and personally invited Director Zhang, Director Chen from the Street Office, and those Street Office staff out of the warehouse.

"I'm sorry, everyone. You should also understand that we are also following the rules."

"You're welcome. We are all members of the organization and we know that discipline is more important than anything else."

Director Zhang and those staff members had now figured out what had happened. If Li Aiguo hadn't calmed them down immediately, they would have probably gotten into big trouble.

Even if it is finally found out that they have nothing to do with Zhang Mu, they will still be criticized.

In a way, Li Aiguo really helped them a lot.

After Director Zhang and his team were released, the rectification operation, which had been interrupted for an hour, continued.

Director Zhang and the staff started working again, and the neighborhood office compound returned to its previous bustle, as if nothing had happened.

Li Aiguo walked up to Director Chen, handed him a cigarette, and lit it with a match. "Old Chen, what happened? How many people caught Zhang Mu? How many people were injured?"

When talking about this, Director Chen showed a strange smile on his face.

"There's only one person, an old lady. She's not injured. She's in the office next door. If you want to ask her questions, can I call her over?"

How could an old lady catch Zhang Mu?

Li Aiguo's eyes widened.

Is this lady very fierce?!
When he saw this old lady, Li Aiguo felt even more surprised.

The lady's surname was Shen. She looked to be in her fifties. She was not tall, only about 1.5 meters. Her face was full of wrinkles and she looked a little frail. She didn't look like she could fight.

When Aunt Shen saw Li Aiguo wearing a uniform with four pockets, she became a little nervous.

"Leading comrade."

"Auntie, you can just call me a patriotic comrade."

Li Aiguo personally poured a enamel pot of tea for Aunt Shen. Aunt Shen took two sips of the water and her expression finally calmed down.

"Auntie, can you tell me how you caught that bad guy?"

"Oh, this guy is really a bad guy!"

When it comes to catching bad guys, Aunt Shen's whole demeanor changes.

She was originally an honest old lady, but now she widened her eyes and slammed the table, turning into an older version of Mulan.

"That's right. He stayed up late at night and went to peek into the ladies' room. How can he be a good person?"

"bathroom?"

Li Aiguo thought of the dirty stuff on Zhang Mu's body and took a breath of cold air.

It turns out that the real battlefield is the toilet.

Aunt Shen now became more energetic and stood up, waving her hands, and gestured to Li Aiguo the scene at that time.

"My wife had a stomachache in the middle of the night, so she went to the toilet outside. As soon as she entered the toilet, she saw that guy climbing on the wall of the toilet."

"As soon as I saw the gangster, I rushed forward, grabbed the guy's arm and tried to pull him off."

"That guy is quite strong. I could carry a 200-jin sack back then. I'm not afraid of him at all."

"I pulled hard, snap, guess what happened?"

Looking at the excited Aunt Shen, Li Aiguo asked cooperatively, "What's going on?"

Aunt Shen straightened her back, put her hands on her waist, and said proudly: "I dragged him into the toilet!"

“The guy was still trying to get out, so I stepped on his forehead and made him gulp down the drink.”

Li Aiguo: "."

Zhang Mu has received professional training and is not afraid of an old woman at all.

The key is that he was afraid of being discovered and did not dare to shoot.

In addition, he was riding on the wall and was at a disadvantage.

When Zhang Mu fell into the pit, he had no ability to resist.

Tsk tsk, Zhang Mu is so unlucky.

After decades of hard training, he was captured by a middle-aged woman.

After she finished speaking, Aunt Shen suddenly became shy. She looked up at Li Aiguo and then lowered her head again.

Li Aiguo saw the clue and asked with a smile: "Auntie, if you have any ideas, you can just say it directly."

Aunt Shen said, "Isn't this considered a meritorious service?"

"Yes, it definitely counts! You caught the bad guy and did a great deed." Li Aiguo asked with a smile: "Auntie, what do you want? Tell me and I'll help you solve it."

"I wouldn't dare to ask for that. I just want an enamel pot with red words printed on it." Such a small request made Aunt Shen's face turn red.

She accomplished such a great thing but only asked for such a small request. What a nice lady!

Although Zhang Mu's identity has not been clarified yet and the case has not been investigated, Li Aiguo looked at Director Chen and said, "Old Chen, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Don't worry, I'll send the enamelware pot to you tomorrow."

Director Chen was very excited at this time. Now that Aunt Shen was a typical example in the neighborhood, the impact of Deputy Director Ma's crime could be diluted.

Li Aiguo wrote down the process of Aunt Shen's arrest of Zhang Mu, asked Aunt Shen to sign and seal it, and then drove the command vehicle back to the street.

After a busy and tense night, early in the morning, the announcer was reading the "Letter to the Residents of Photon Film" from the loudspeaker hung on the street pole.

The announcer's powerful voice echoed in the air, waking up the entire photon slice from its sleep.

Zhou Zhigang pushed open the door and walked out of the shed. He looked toward the sun in the east and said with emotion, "It's a sunny day today."

Zhou Bingkun also got up and rushed out of the house shouting excitedly.

The entire photon sheet was immersed in joy.

Zhou Rong was awakened by the sound of horns and cheers, and covered her head with the quilt in dissatisfaction.

"It's so early in the morning, can't you let me sleep?"

******
The subsequent review and processing work has been handed over to local specialized comrades, and Li Aiguo has also returned to the meteorological station at this time.

After Zhang Mu was brought back to the meteorological station, Director Ma organized people to interrogate him.

Zhang Mu was much worse than Zhao Laoshuan, or maybe he had been fed a belly full of feces soup and had lost the will to resist.

In a short while, he confessed everything.

Zhang Mu was indeed an enemy, just as Li Aiguo had expected.

But Zhang Mu didn't know Zhao Laoshuan.

Li Aiguo frowned and thought for a moment, then looked up at Director Ma.

He knew that Director Ma only said that Zhang Mu didn't know Zhao Laoshuan, and did not mention whether Zhang Mu had other tasks. That was enough to show that Zhang Mu was a big fish.

This is how it is for people who do their special job. They will let you know what you should know.

If it's not your job, don't ask about it.

This system can control the information within the smallest scope and ensure that the information is not leaked to the greatest extent possible.

It seems that the higher-ups have decided to hand Zhang Mu's case over to someone else. Li Aiguo didn't care too much.

After all, his real target is Zhao Laoshuan.

Li Aiguo did not ask about Zhang Mu, but continued, "So he doesn't know Zhao Laoshuan?"

"Absolutely not."

Director Ma said confidently: "During the interrogation, we specially invited an identification expert to keep an eye on Zhang Mu and also used a polygraph. Zhang Mu did not lie."

Once a person tells a lie, both physiological characteristics such as blood pressure and facial micro-expressions will change.

The comrades at the weather station are well versed in this field and will certainly not be fooled.

With the help of a polygraph, it can be confirmed that Zhang Mu could not be lying.

Li Aiguo didn't expect that after working for most of the night, he would get such a result.

The original plan was to use Zhang Mu to pry open Zhao Laoshuan's mouth, but now there is no hope.

Hope can only be placed on the more than one hundred people who are related to Zhao Laoshuan.

The result disappointed Li Aiguo again.

After several inspections, there was no suspicion among the more than one hundred people, and they did not know anything about Zhao Laoshuan's situation.

The case has reached a complete stalemate.

Time passes day by day.

Li Aiguo was also hesitating whether to bring Zhao Laoshuan back to the capital and then deal with him slowly.

On this day, a new turning point occurred.

Li Aiguo arrived at the meteorological station early in the morning and received a notice from Director Ma as soon as he entered the door.

"There is a confidential call from Hong Kong City."

Li Aiguo went into the telephone room and picked up the phone.

"Brother Aiguo, things are exactly as you expected.

IBM was fooled. Without high magnetic pulse reading and writing equipment, the magnetic core memory they produced was completely unusable.

Now IBM has to buy reading and writing equipment from Wang Laboratories at high prices.”

Hearing Yang Jizon's excited voice on the other end of the phone, Li Aiguo was stunned.

International Business Machines Corporation went to great lengths to order Zhao Laoshuan to help obtain the magnetic core storage technology through Langley.

It has now been proven that the so-called technology is nothing but a trap.

So can IBM give up so easily?
Li Aiguo's eyes lit up.

He knew how to deal with Zhao Laoshuan.
