"Tell me what the situation is. Don't look so grim, like I owe you how much money you have."
Ma Xiaoguang patted the fat man on the shoulder, comforted the two of them with a smile.
"Sir, you don't know something. Our two departments have never suffered from this kind of cowardice. I, Lao Li, am now cultivating my moral character. If I had put it aside, I would have fought against them a long time ago..."
Lao Li stood aside, took out a cigarette, lit one for Ma Xiaoguang, and complained.
"Let's go check for clues about the person named Jin. We'll go to the police station first. It's okay there. We got some clues..."
"We just arrived at the garrison headquarters. Damn, these people said that their information needs to be kept secret and cannot be disclosed to the outside world without Chief Chen's permission!"
"This group of people is so insecure that even Director Chen and Director Dai are here, let alone our special operations team..."
The fat man complained to Commander Ma extremely angrily.
"Oh! It turns out to be this group of people. No wonder they are so dragged. They are from another group."
When Ma Xiaoguang heard this, he suddenly understood and said with a playful smile.
"What? Is there anyone who dares not to pay the Military Command Bureau's account?"
Looking at Chief Ma's expression, Fatty and Lao Li knew there must be another story, and they quickly asked in unison.
"You have worked hard too, let's go, find a place to rest, and let me tell you something..."
Ma Xiaoguang smiled and said to the two of them mysteriously.
After leaving the neighborhood of the Security Headquarters, I found an unknown small teahouse to sit down in Sanyuanli next door.
"In addition to the Party Affairs Investigation Department and our Military Intelligence Department, the national government actually has an intelligence agency..."
Ma Xiaoguang lowered his voice and whispered to the two generals.
"What? Another intelligence agency?"
This strange knowledge made both Fatty and Old Li stunned.
"This organization is still in its infancy stage. The speaker is our Chief Chen, and the backbone are some of his confidants in the military..."
Ma Xiaoguang picked up the tea cup, took a sip and whispered.
"The name hasn't been decided yet. It should be called 'Intelligence Team' for the time being, but the people and the team have already been assembled. These are capable and powerful young officers in the army. They are difficult to deal with!"
"Commander Guo of the Garrison Headquarters and their staff officer named Zhang are all people here. The most powerful one is of course Staff Officer Zhang..."
Ma Xiaoguang continued to tell the unknown secret to the two generals.
Lao Li nodded and said, "No wonder the man named Zhang is so arrogant."
"I understand. It's because Zhang Chong didn't seize the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and pushed the credit to others. Our group of people in the Second Division are also afraid of wolves in front of us and afraid of tigers in the back. There's something going on here!"
The fat man touched his chin and sighed.
"Then what do we do now?"
Lao Li asked following the fat man's words.
"What should we do? Since we accepted the attack, we have to catch the spy! We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either."
Ma Xiaoguang's eyes widened and he suddenly said loudly.
Lao Li and Fatty were stunned when they saw this, but the expression of a tea guest at the table next to them changed.
The three of them chatted for a while and then left the small teahouse.
"Sir, on the table next to you just now..."
Lao Li whispered to Ma Xiaoguang.
"I saw it. The posture and movement of this man sitting down, his waist straight. At first glance, he is from the military..."
"It's probably the Intelligence Team's Staff Officer Zhang who is keeping an eye on us. I also have some things to say to them on purpose."
"Ma Dan, if it weren't for the overall situation of the war of resistance against Japan, I would let some people know what Prince Ma's three eyes are..."
Ma Xiaoguang said jokingly to Fatty and Lao Li.
After listening to Ma Xiaoguang's words, Fatty and Lao Li no longer struggled. Based on the information they got from the police station, the three returned to Guangfu Village near Luojia Mountain to search for traces of Jin.
After a lot of trouble, it was already evening when we arrived at Guangfu Village.
"It's getting late, should we continue the investigation?"
The fat man asked Ma Xiaoguang with some confusion and expectation.
"Check, why not check? People who are wandering outside should go home at this time, so we just take advantage of this time to check."
Ma Xiaoguang looked at the setting sun and the faint smoke and said with a smile.
The name of this place comes from the Ming Dynasty. It was the fiefdom of King Chu Zhao, the sixth son of Ming Taizu, so it got its name.
In Ma Xiaoguang's later generations, this place was more famous as Jiangcheng's "Technology Street", which mainly sold computers and other electronic products.
The most famous among them is Boss Lei, the founder of Mi Technology, who graduated from nearby Jiangcheng University and returned as a teenager.
But now this is not the bustling science and technology street of later generations, but a small village with hundreds of households.
Find the local security chief through the police station and ask about the situation first.
"A stranger? It seems that there is. After all, this is a special period. The peak has already issued strict orders, and we dare not slack off."
The Baochang, whose surname is also Li, is in his forties and has a face that is upright and shrewd unique to people from Hubei Province.
"Oh, tell me, what kind of person is he?"
Lao Li was the first to speak up and asked quickly.
The situation went unexpectedly smoothly, which made the three party-state elites happy.
"I don't know his last name. He rented the Qiu family's house, but the strange thing is that he didn't live in it much after renting it. It has been empty for almost half a year..."
"There has been a war recently, and I was afraid of being bombed in the city. So I moved here mysteriously by myself, but I don't have any luggage. It doesn't look right!"
"I believe he is evil. We are all serving the party and the country. We know we cannot alert the enemy, so we are ready to keep an eye on him and report again when we find an opportunity..."
Baozhang Li lowered his voice and explained to the three agents in a serious manner.
"The chief security officer has the overall situation in mind. It's not easy. Lead the way. Let's go to the Qiu family's house."
Ma Xiaoguang smiled and said to Li Baozhang.
Baochang Li led the way, Lao Li in front, Chief Ma and Fatty in the back, and the four of them went straight to the outside of the small courtyard rented by the Qiu family.
"The Qiu family is relatively well-off here. Once the war started, this family was really discerning and moved the family to Yiling..."
Baochang Li quietly introduced the landlord's situation to Lao Li.
After adjusting his breathing, Baozhang Li straightened the expression on his face and stepped forward to call the door.
"Open the door. I am the security chief, Li Gongwen. I have something to inform you..."
Li Baozhang's speech was quite satisfactory, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a chaotic noise inside, but no one answered the door.
"not good!"
Lao Li secretly screamed, no longer caring about methods or tactics, he kicked open the courtyard door and broke in.
"This guy is running so fast... I'll go after him. Old Li and Fatty are behind to catch me up. Chief Li will notify the police station..."
Ma Xiaoguang's urgent voice came from behind the yard.
When Lao Li heard this, he ran a few steps, leaped over the fence.
When they landed, they only saw the back of the fat man not far ahead, but Ma Xiaoguang and the Japanese spy were nowhere to be seen.
