Chapter 809 Going home
The sky is dim and dusky.
This is a sign that it is going to snow.
"You don't have to follow me. You can find a place to eat by yourself." Wang Kangnian said to the men who were following him.
"yes!"
Wang Kangnian rubbed his hands and entered the mutton soup restaurant at the entrance of the alley.
The owner of the mutton soup restaurant is from Wu County, Suzhou. They use library mutton. The mutton bones have been stewed for half a day. The mutton soup is milky white. Add potato noodles, sprinkle with chopped green onion or coriander, and then cut it on a plate. Cold lamb, fried with spicy sauce, is simply a delicacy in this cold weather.
"Shopkeeper, a bowl of mutton soup, half a catty of mutton, and two sesame cakes."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, please wait a moment." Seeing that it was Captain Wang of the Detective Brigade, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him warmly.
Wang Kangnian doesn’t like others to call him Captain Wang, so he can be called Mr. Wang.
After a while, the food was served.
Wang Kangnian took a sip of the milky white mutton soup and felt a warmth spreading in his stomach. He felt so comfortable all over.
Took two pieces of mutton, rolled them in spicy sauce, stuffed them into my mouth, and took a big bite of sesame seed cakes. My taste buds were fully satisfied.
Then, he felt a little sad. If Xiao Si was still alive, he would definitely be nagging him to persuade him to eat less spicy food.
Wang Kangnian eats neither fast nor slowly.
He enjoys the time of enjoying food. He likes to just sit here and eat food quietly, watching the people coming and going in the streets quietly. This will make him feel a great sense of security and feel that he Still alive.
“Sullivan! Smell-smelling Sullivan!” the vendor on a bicycle shouted as he bounced past.
Wang Kangnian glanced at the back of the hawker riding away. He was a hawker selling Sullivan bread. He came to this alley to sell bread at this time almost every day. It was rain or shine and there was nothing suspicious about it.
This person's business mainly focuses on children after school. Children who have been to school for a day are empty and hungry. If they have some pocket money in their pockets, they will be transferred to the vendors selling Sullivan bread.
About a quarter of an hour later, a vendor wearing a worn-out felt hat entered the alley carrying a wonton load.
Duk, duk, duk, the hawker banged his bamboo tube to signal his arrival to regular customers.
Soon, regular customers who know that he is here at this time will gather around. You have a bowl and I have a bowl. Business is very good.
…
“Have a bowl of wontons, put more dried shrimps in the soup.” Ou Yingchun lowered the cap on his head and came closer to say.
As he spoke, he put the wonton money in the hawker's iron box.
"okay."
As expected, the vendor put in a little more dried shrimps. It was really a little bit more. There were about three or five extra dried shrimps.
Ou Yingchun took the soup bowl, took another spoon, and squatted on the ground to eat and drink.
He first drank half a bowl of wonton soup in one go. The soup went down his stomach and warmed up his whole body.
Then he started to eat wontons, almost devouring two in one bite.
Just like that, he finished the wontons quickly, and then drank the remaining half bowl of wonton soup. He tilted his neck and poured almost the last drop of soup in the soup bowl into his stomach, and then raised his sleeves. Wiped the corners of his mouth.
“Put the bowls and spoons here.” Ou Yingchun stood up and said, then subconsciously looked up and met someone’s eyes.
He was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Rubbing her eyes to make sure she saw it correctly, Ou Yingchun turned around and ran away.
"Catch him!" Wang Kangnian shouted. He never expected to see Xiao Ou, the Xiao Ou who he sent to Yanzhou to lurk. There was no news from him later. He thought he had died at the hands of the Red Party. Xiaoou.
The subordinate who was smoking in a sheltered corner not far away heard the sound and rushed up, directly blocking Xiao Ou's path and aiming his gun at him.
Seeing someone pulling out a gun, the vendors and diners were frightened, but they did not panic. The vendor quickly and methodically put away the dishes, picked up his load and hid away, and the diners also quickly dispersed and stayed away. He still held the soup bowl in his hand and just stuffed wontons into his mouth.
In such a world, no one knows whether they can survive until tomorrow. Sooner or later, they will die, so they cannot treat their own belly badly.
“Don’t shoot.” Wang Kangnian shouted quickly.
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Xiao Ou did not dare to make the slightest move to cause misunderstanding. He had a grimace on his face. Looking at Wang Kangnian walking slowly from the mutton soup restaurant, Xiao Ou became even more frightened and restless.
“Don’t you recognize me?” Wang Kangnian coughed, smiled and asked in a calm tone.
“Team leader…” Xiao Ou forced out a smile.
"When did you return to Shanghai? Why didn't you come to see me, an old officer?" Wang Kangnian coughed twice again. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth. Then he glared at Xiao Ou, "Why are you so miserable? A bowl of The wontons tasted like dragon meat.”
…
Plainclothes inspection of the Central Patrol Room, Inspector's Office.
Cardinal Zhao was looking through a document when Bianjian opened the door and came in, "Brother, the second wife is here."
Shu Li looked up and saw Zhang Ping, whose face was wrapped in a scarf, twisting her waist and coming in.
Shu Li Zhao's eyes were fixed on his concubine's scarf, which was a purple-red scarf.
“Why are you here?” Shu Li seemed very happy and stepped forward to help Zhang Ping untie her scarf. Then he saw that Zhang Ping’s cheek seemed to be blue.
“What’s the matter with the injury on the face?” Cardinal Zhao asked immediately.
"Don't mention it." Zhang Ping looked pitiful. "When I was shopping today, a little brat suddenly rushed out to grab my bag. He knocked me down and bruised my face."
Zhang Ping sat down on the chair and cursed angrily, "Young fool, **** little red guy, don't let me..."
She looked at Shu Li Zhao and said, "Thanks to you, Inspector, even my own woman's bags can be robbed."
"That's unreasonable!" Zhao Shuli's face dropped, and he shouted outside, "Bianjian!"
"Brother, I'm here." The door was pushed open immediately, and the flat tip poked out his head.
“Before tomorrow morning, I want to see the person who snatched the bag and the second wife’s bag that was robbed.” Cardinal Zhao said in a deep voice.
“Understood.” Bianjian stood at attention, saluted, smiled at the second wife, turned and walked away.
“Mother Xiecheng, get away and stop eavesdropping.” Cardiff Zhao scolded, “I’m not doing anything to eavesdrop on your mother-in-law’s legs!”
“Brother, it’s nothing.”
Seeing Bianjian close the door and leave as if running away, Councilor Zhao couldn't help but curse again, "Little Chi!"
“It’s not in vain that I followed you.” Seeing her man venting her anger for her, Zhang Ping nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Shuli Zhao charmingly.
Chief Zhao walked to the door and opened the office door suddenly. When he saw that no one was eavesdropping outside, he nodded with satisfaction and cursed again, "Those guys are wise."
Then, after closing the door and turning around, Shu Li Zhao's expression became extremely serious and he nodded towards Zhang Ping.
According to the agreement between the two of them, if Zhang Ping wore this purple scarf and came to the patrol room to find him, it would definitely be an urgent matter.
“There is a very important meeting in the organization today.” Zhang Ping said in a low voice.
"Organizationally..." Shuli Zhao was shocked and took a deep look at Zhang Ping. Although he had already guessed that Zhang Ping had returned to the organization, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention this matter.
He knew that the organization should have been secretly screening and investigating him, but now, Zhang Ping suddenly said this directly, which made Shuli Zhao feel nervous and expectant. This meant that the organization had initially passed the screening of him and was already accepting him. He trusts him.
His first reaction was that the organization needed him to **** this important meeting.
“The organization has ordered me to inform you.” Zhang Ping looked at her comrades, her eyes flashed with excitement, her lips parted slightly, and she whispered, “Please invite Comrade Zhao to attend this meeting.”
Hearing this, Shuli Zhao was stunned for a moment, and his whole body tensed up. Then he looked at Zhang Ping, and when he saw Zhang Ping nodding, Shuli Zhao suddenly relaxed.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Ping with red eyes, "I want, I want to go home?"
“Yes, go home.” Zhang Ping nodded vigorously.
…
Ou Yingchun was sitting on a chair. Although he was not tied up, two tall detective team members stood on both sides of him, staring at him warily. If he had any intention to act rashly, he would be immediately arrested. subdue.
Wang Kangnian crossed his hands and fingers on the desk, with a cold expression on his face, and kept staring at Xiao Ou with a scrutinizing gaze.
“So, it’s me who has caused you trouble?” Wang Kangnian said coldly.
Xiao Ou had already ‘confessed’ just now.
Xiao Ou was transferred and dispatched from Xi'an by the Central Unification Bureau to Shanghai to engage in latent work.
There are three reasons why Xiaoou was selected:
First of all, Xiao Ou himself came from the Shanghai Station of the Party Affairs Investigation Office. He is very familiar with Shanghai and meets the requirements for lurking.
Secondly, Xiao Ou is not a follower in Xi'an. The dangerous and unlucky thing of lurking in the enemy-occupied area naturally falls on a loser like Xiao Ou.
Thirdly, Xiao Ou was Wang Kangnian’s subordinate at that time. He followed the Japanese. Naturally, Xiao Ou was ostracized and even distrusted within the Central Unification Committee.
Hence, Xiao Ou is the perfect candidate for the job of sending someone to death.
Xiao Ou raised his head and glanced at the old officer, wanting to say something, but in the end he sighed and lowered his head.
“You are no different from before.” Wang Kangnian suddenly cursed, “There’s no need to torture, Mother Side Cun, you’ve given up everything.”
As he spoke, Wang Kangnian shook his head.
“When my subordinates saw you, team leader, I got scared, and I became confused and said everything.” Xiao Ou said with a sad face.
“Coward.” Wang Kangnian cursed again, “What are your plans for the future?”
Xiao Ou shook his head and sighed, looking like he had no love left in his life.
“Speak.” Wang Kangnian raised his voice and scolded.
“Team leader, I guess, you, you won’t kill me, right?” Xiao Ou asked cautiously.
Wang Kangnian looked at his former subordinates, a little speechless, and at the same time a little nostalgic.
This guy is a fool. He had been trying to hide in front of him before and always said, "Guess, team leader." It was precisely for this reason that he annoyed Xiao Ou so much that he simply arranged for Xiao Ou to go to Yanzhou to lurk.
Unexpectedly, two or three years have passed. Xiao Ou's partner Bai Pang escaped, Ding Naifei died, and Xiao Si also died. These old subordinates were so dead and injured that they could not escape, but there was not much left. It was Xiao Ou who was able to return to Shanghai alive and kicking.
“Didn’t I order you to lurk in Yanzhou?” Wang Kangnian asked.
"I suspected that they had discovered me, so I ran out at night." Xiao Ou said with a grimace. "The commander in Xi'an called me a coward and a waste. He said that the Red Party did not suspect me and that I made a mistake."
‘You are really a **** loser’!
Wang Kangnian glared at his former subordinate and became very angry.
However, after seeing Xiao Ou's desolate appearance and thinking that this guy looked like a delicacy in the world even if he ate a bowl of wontons, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart. After all, he was his old subordinate.
Of course, the most important thing is that many of the old subordinates around him are dead, injured, and have fled. Now there is indeed a shortage of people under his command. To be fair, Xiao Ou, apart from his dislike of showing off, his professional ability is still good. of.
Even though Xiao Ou escaped from Yanzhou because of fear, this kid was able to lurk in Yanzhou for nearly a year, which is not easy in itself.
"Chongqing doesn't treat you as a human being." Wang Kangnian threw a cigarette to Xiao Ou, "Why didn't you think of coming over and continuing to **** me?"
"Team leader, I, I..." Xiao Ou raised his head and glanced at Wang Kangnian, "I thought about coming here, but I was afraid that I would die a good death if I became a traitor."
“Beat him!” Wang Kangnian was stunned for a moment, then became furious. He pointed at Xiao Ou and cursed, “Beat him!”
As he said this, Wang Kangnian became angrier as he thought about it, "beat him hard."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Ou with a complex expression, "After beating him, let's find a body for him."
"Don't fight, don't fight." Xiao Ou screamed, "Team leader, I'll do it with you, I'll do it with you. The Japanese are great, and the team leader has a good eye. I will follow you to get the most popular and spicy food."
Wang Kangnian didn’t shout to stop, and the two detective team members didn’t dare to stop either. The two of them gave Xiao Ou a good beating.
Wang Kangnian snorted coldly and waved his hand.
The two detective team members stopped. One of them smiled and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Ou, "Brother, welcome home."
…
There was a buzzing sound coming from the alley. It was the dumpling vendor tapping the bamboo tube.
After the hawker walked away, Zhao Shuli and Zhang Ping walked out of the shadows in the alley. They came to the door of a Shikumen residence. They looked at the surrounding situation vigilantly. After confirming that there was no danger, Zhang Ping stepped forward and gently Knocked on the door.
"who?"
“It’s me, Sixth Sister.”
“There is no relative named Liu in my family.”
“It’s the six of Liuliu Dashun.”
The door is open.
Due to the poor visibility at night and the angle, Shu Li Zhao did not see clearly who was behind the door. He only felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
Zhang Ping went in first.
Shu Li Zhao also ducked in.
Then he saw Lao Huang looking at him with a smile.
Looking over again, beside Lao Huang, there turned out to be Lu Dazhang from Xiafei Road. This man was looking over with a smile on his face.
Shu Li Zhao felt his forehead was hot:
Damn it, is this a trap?
He subconsciously touched the gun at his waist.
However, the hand stopped halfway.
Because he saw that Zhang Ping did not look panicked at all, but looked at him with a smile.
He believed in Zhang Ping.
“Inspector Zhao, please.” Lao Huang, an old drunkard, stretched out his hand to invite him with a smile on his face.
