Lao Mao and the others moved faster than Li Aiguo imagined.
The next day, Li Aiguo came back from his bicycle. As soon as he left the locomotive depot on his bicycle, he was blocked by a female comrade.
This lesbian was wearing an old tawny military uniform and an old hat, with two little pouts sticking out unyieldingly from behind the brim of the hat.
She has an oval face and crescent eyebrows. There is a slight blush on her little face. Her eyes are watery, clear and bright, and she is particularly beautiful.
"What's wrong? We don't recognize him anymore?" The girl frowned when she saw Li Aiguo's wandering eyes.
She raised her little fist and made a hitting gesture with a tigerish face.
This action awakened Li Aiguo's long-lost memory.
"Oh, it's Miss Yanzi! You changed your clothes and I can't even recognize you."
It’s not that we, Li Aiguo, are confused.
Yanzi used to be a brave female warrior.
Now she looks like a beautiful girl.
If you put it in anime, it would be the difference between Valkyrie and the soft girl next door. The style of painting is obviously different.
"is it beautiful?"
Yanzi seemed to enjoy Li Aiguo's gaze, pulling on the hem of his clothes and spinning around proudly.
Li Aiguo gave a thumbs up: "Beautiful!"
Yanzi: "Okay, I'll change it when I get home later."
Li Aiguo: "."
Li Aiguo and Yanzi are also old friends.
After the reunion, both of them were very happy, pushing their bicycles and walking along the streets covered with fallen leaves.
"So, your old man got sick and sent your second brother to kidnap you back from the south?"
"What's wrong! You just tricked me into coming back for a blind date."
After chatting for a few words and hearing the whole story, Li Aiguo almost couldn't help laughing.
Yanzi is twenty-two years old this year, and is considered an older youth at this age.
This girl doesn't like red clothes, she likes to be armed. She follows Lao Mao outside to investigate cases all day long, and doesn't even think about getting married.
Yanzi's father was the brigade commander of the 65th Army. He followed Commander Yang and fought with the Japanese on the northern battlefield.
Facing the fierce Japanese, this tough guy could not even blink an eye.
But faced with his own quirky girl, Yanzi's father was at a loss what to do, so he had to pretend to be sick to trick Yanzi back.
"So you just want to take advantage of the blind date to handle another case?"
"Yes, blind dates are not as fun as working on a case. Besides, after finally coming back, if I leave Beijing right away, the old man might really get sick from anger."
Seeing Yanzi's concerned look, Li Aiguo couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart. This girl is so filial.
But that’s okay. In Li Aiguo’s original plan, Tailor Zhang’s case was handed over directly to the superiors, who would handle it.
Now that someone familiar is in charge, it is easier to operate.
After all, it involves the father-in-law, the sister-in-law, and even the eldest brother Chen Xingjia.
This was Yanzi's first time taking charge of a case, so he seemed particularly active. Without any small talk, he couldn't wait to ask for details.
Li Aiguo explained the doubts about Tailor Zhang.
Yan Zi, who was in working mode, also put away his playful attitude and frowned: "According to what you said, Tailor Zhang's face has traces of sun exposure on the seaside. It is likely that he left the capital before liberation and went to the southern coastal towns. Recently. Returned to the capital again."
"She may have retreated to the island before liberation." Li Aiguo said.
Yanzi's face suddenly became serious: "The island said she was probably sent back by the enemy. This is a big fish."
Yanzi didn't feel excited, but became nervous.
The big fish is very strong and may kill the fish and break the net.
In the five-person group, Yanzi has seen too many things.
Yanzi's expression suddenly became nervous. She walked slowly to the river and sat on a long bench.
Li Aiguo sat side by side with her, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and started smoking.
Not far away is a group of children who have just finished school.
The children carried earthen kites and ran wildly on the road, bursting out with crisp laughter from time to time.
Life is so peaceful and beautiful
Yanzi seemed a little uncomfortable with such a beautiful time, and looked back at Li Aiguo: "Driver Li, what do you think about this?"
"Through a thorough investigation, we must immediately find out the identity of Tailor Zhang and her relationship with the Silk Village House." Li Aiguo said coldly: "No matter if she is a big fish or not, this is the capital, and we cannot let an unknown person People, wandering around on the streets.”
Yes, this is the capital, which is fundamentally different from other places.
The string in Yanzi's mind immediately tightened, and he stood up and said, "I'll go arrange it right away."
"By the way, when will you go on a blind date?" Li Aiguo suddenly asked.
Yanzi raised his wrist and looked at the time: "Two hours ago."
Li Aiguo: "."

early morning.
The morning sun jumped up from the horizon, and the golden sunshine spread across the capital, dispelling the darkness.
Chen Fangxuan opened the door of the shop early in the morning, moved in a chair, and picked up a feather duster to brush away the dust on the signboard.
Although the shop sign was already very clean, he still cleaned it carefully and did not get down from the chair until no trace of dust could be seen.
Back in the shop, Chen Fangxuan swept the floor again and wiped the top and bottom of the counter clean.
Since the public-private partnership, Chen Fangxuan can now receive fixed interest dividends from the shop in addition to his salary from the street office every month.
The money added up is much more than before.
What's more, he is now the manager of a public-private partnership store.
He is no longer the little tailor who was bullied by others. These things were unimaginable in the old society.
Being able to live such a good life makes Chen Fangxuan even more motivated.
When it's hot, it would be better if you could find a wife and someone to warm your bed.
Chen Fangxuan finished working on the shop floor and saw that the work time had not yet arrived, so he was going to go to the back and continue working on the ribbons.
This is a job that the son-in-law pulls together, and it must be completed with quality and quantity.
At this moment, a figure came in from the door.
"Tailor Zhang, why are you here so early today?" Chen Fangxuan stopped and looked at Tailor Zhang up and down: "You look a little pale, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Manager Chen, I may have eaten something bad yesterday. My stomach hurts all night long. I want to take leave today and go to the hospital for treatment." Tailor Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Go, go quickly, by the way, do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, you still have to look after the shop."
Tailor Zhang quickly rejected Chen Fangxuan, turned around and left the shop in a hurry.
Chen Fangxuan looked at her back and felt a little worried.
What he didn't see was that Tailor Zhang's face suddenly darkened after he left the shop.
Thinking of the meeting with Mr. Hou last night, Tailor Zhang suddenly felt bad.
Mr. Hou's plan will completely break her original plan.
But Mr. Hou got the warrant to go to the peak.
Tailor Zhang knew very well what those people would do to those who disobeyed orders.
At this time, the bus, which was carrying a large atmosphere, gasped twice, exhaled a cloud of black air, and slowly stopped at the bus stop.
"Qingfang, please don't blame Auntie. If not, blame your loose mouth." Tailor Zhang muttered in a low voice and followed the passengers into the car.
When she got off the car again, she had arrived at the Jingjiao Timber Factory.
Tailor Zhang took out the mask from his canvas bag and put it on. He tightened the collar and walked around pretending to be walking.
Seeing a black car parked across the street, Tailor Zhang nodded towards the car before walking to the guard room.
"During working hours, non-factory workers are not allowed to enter." The security officer stood up and hugged her.
Tailor Zhang pretended to be anxious: "Comrade, I am Zhao Qingfang's family member. Something happened at her home. Please help call her out."
Zhao Qingfang is a worker in the fourth workshop of the lumber factory.
The fourth workshop mainly produces wooden boxes for loading bullets.
Because she was pregnant, the workshop director specially arranged to switch from nailing to cleaning wooden boards.
The daily job is to use a wooden brush to clean the wooden boards brought from the slicing workshop and put them in the basket next to them.
The work was easy, so Zhao Qingfang chatted with the surrounding workers while washing the wooden boards.
"Qingfang, your profession is now very capable. In a short time, you might also be able to become an engineer."
"It's impossible. How could I not know how much ink there is in Chen Xingjia's stomach?
It's you, Xiao Wang. I heard that the young man you had a blind date with recently, his parents are both employees of the supply and marketing cooperative?
When the time comes when you get married, and my sister wants to buy something, you have to help her! "
"Don't worry. Just because of our relationship, even if it's something in short supply, I'll get it for you."
While chatting, someone from the workshop office informed Zhao Qingfang that someone was looking for her outside.
"Who?"
"I don't know. It's a lesbian. She said something happened at home."
Hearing this, Zhao Qingfang's heart skipped a beat, the wooden board in his hand fell to the ground, he stood up and was about to walk out.
The female worker next to me was a little worried: "Sister Zhao, do you want me to inform your shop?"
"No, Xing Jia is following the engineers in the laboratory. Don't disturb them easily. I'd better go and see what's going on first!"
Zhao Qingfang stopped the female worker and rushed to the factory gate in a hurry.
Seeing a familiar figure standing in the distance, Zhao Qingfang couldn't help but speed up his pace.
By the time she ran to Tailor Zhang, she was already out of breath.
Tailor Zhang quickly stepped forward and held her arm: "Qingfang, you are still pregnant! Don't panic."
"Aunt Zhang, what happened to my family?" Zhao Qingfang took a breath and asked impatiently.
"It's your dad. Wasn't he just busy with the sewing work that Driver Li gave him? He suddenly fainted on the sewing machine.
I was shocked and quickly called Master Liu, Tailor Wu and the others next door and sent your father to the hospital. "
Tailor Zhang narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
"Ah! My father fainted and was admitted to the hospital?"
Even though Zhao Qingfang was chattering in the Chen family on weekdays, he was a person with no independent opinions.
Chen Fangxuan was a big tree in the Chen family. Now that the big tree fell down, she didn't know what to do.
Seeing that Zhao Qingfang was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears and muttering that she was going to inform Chen Xingjia, Tailor Zhang quickly stopped him: "Qingfang, the doctor said that your father's problem is not serious and he just needs to rest for a while."
"It's okay." Zhao Qingfang felt that she had had a false alarm and became a little angry: "Aunt Zhang, why did you come all the way here? Is it just to scare me?"
"Why are you talking like a kid!"
Tailor Zhang scolded him with a stern face: “I am doing it for your own good, think about it, your father is sick, after you learned the news, you gave up the work at hand and rushed to the hospital to serve your father.
Anyone who knows about this must give a thumbs up and praise her, this girl is so filial! "
She lowered her voice: "Xing Jia is also a filial child. Will I treat you better in the future?"
"Yes, yes, I'm confused." Zhao Qingfang felt that she had wrongly blamed Tailor Zhang, and said a little embarrassedly: "Aunt Zhang, I'm really sorry."
"Damn it, Aunt Zhang really treats you as her own child."
"Auntie, you are so kind to me."
"Stop talking about this, let's go to the hospital to visit your father."
Zhao Qingfang was about to go back to the factory to borrow a bicycle when Tailor Zhang grabbed her and said, "I happened to meet Mr. Bai, the housekeeper of the Hou family. He drove Mr. Hou's car. Let's go by car. How convenient."
"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing?"
Zhao Qingfang was immediately interested when he heard that he could take a car.
She has never ridden in a car in her life, and she will be able to brag to her little sisters for a while when she returns to the workshop.
"It's not convenient to make a U-turn here. Let's go to the front and get in the car. Besides, the Hou family's car is also owned by the public. If someone sees it, they will be gossiped about."
"Yes, yes, Aunt Zhang, you are so considerate."
Chen Fangxuan suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. In addition, Zhao Qingfang was obsessed with showing off in front of Chen Xingjia. At this time, Zhao Qingfang's mind was so messed up that she couldn't think at all.
She let Tailor Zhang guide her to a remote place ahead.
Butler Bai had been waiting for a long time. He opened the car door and invited Zhao Qingfang to get in the car.
After getting in the car, Zhao Qingfang realized that Tailor Zhang did not get in the car, but stood outside muttering something to Butler Bai.
Tailor Zhang's eyes looked here from time to time, as if he was mentioning her.
For some reason, Tailor Zhang's eyes made Zhao Qingfang feel an inexplicable panic.
Zhao Qingfang rolled down the window and said to Tailor Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, won't you go with me?"
"No, I have to go back and look at the shop." Tailor Zhang replied, turning to look at Butler Bai: "Old Bai, I leave this person to you, but you have to follow our agreement in advance and not harm her. "
"Tsk, tsk, you have a bodhisattva heart. If I hadn't known that you came back this time to avenge your husband, I would have thought you were coaxing the children!" Butler Bai's lips curled up with a hint of joking.
"In the early years, we did too many evil things. Besides, you just want the information on fiberglass, there is no need to kill people."
"Okay, as long as you hand over the information to us, I will naturally not embarrass this idiot."
Butler Bai felt a sigh of relief when he thought of the identity of the woman opposite him.
It is simply ridiculous that a person who was so murderous back then would now intercede for others.
It's just that he remembered Master Hou's advice and would not go against her.
In addition, when the time comes, it is not up to him to decide whether to kill or release the person in his hands.
Tailor Zhang walked to the car door and waved his hand towards Zhao Qingfang: "Qingfang, Butler Bai is your father's old friend. Don't panic."
"Panic." No matter how stupid Zhao Qingfang was, he noticed something unusual at this time.
She was about to scream when a towel covered her nose.
A strange smell rushed into his nostrils, and the next second Zhao Qingfang's vision went dark and he completely lost consciousness.
Butler Bai opened the door, got in, and started the car.
The car left in a flash, as if it had never been there.
Tailor Zhang withdrew his gaze and turned back to the guard room of the lumber factory.
The security officer inside saw her coming back and asked curiously: "Didn't Zhao Qingfang follow you out just now? What else do you want to do?"
"Comrade, please call Chen Xingjia, Zhao Qingfang's husband. Zhao Qingfang was in a hurry just now and had fetal gas, so she will be sent to the hospital."
"Ah, wait a moment."
Seeing that the situation was so urgent, the security officer quickly shook the phone and connected to the fifth workshop.

Shougang in this year was still called Shijingshan Iron and Steel Works.
Every morning, the bright whistle will sound throughout the factory area. The adults walk into the factory area with aluminum lunch boxes in net bags and start working in full swing.
Looking at the energetic workers outside the car window, Li Aiguo was filled with doubts.
Just this morning, Li Aiguo, who had taken off work, originally planned to visit the tailor shop, firstly to look for clues, and secondly to inquire about the progress of the ribbon production.
Just after eating, the swallow found her home.
Yanzi claimed to be from the publicity department of the locomotive depot.
Hey, the old cat's last disguise was that of a train driver.
Here comes another person from the Publicity Department. The locomotive depot has become a grocery store, and everything can be stored in it.
We need Li Aiguo's cooperation in making several sets of promotional slogans, so we borrowed from Chen Xueru Li Aiguo.
Chen Xueru once learned from Huang Shuxian that Li Aiguo had written slogans and the like, so of course she agreed wholeheartedly.
After getting into the jeep, Li Aiguo suddenly felt something was wrong.
Yanzi just claimed that she had found some clues, but it was inconvenient to take those things out and she needed to take Li Aiguo back to the office.
Li Aiguo, who often watches spy movies, immediately imagined a deep compound in his mind. The compound was heavily guarded inside and outside, and there were all kinds of things like mortars.
Unexpectedly, the jeep came to Shijingshan.
At this time, Shijingshan Park was still deserted. Except for a steel factory, it was almost like a large rural area.
How could the headquarters be here?
"arrive!"
Just when Li Aiguo was thinking wildly, an iron gate appeared at the end of the road.
There is a white plaque on the pillar next to it with the words "Shijingshan Meteorological Observation Station" written on it.
Using a weather observation station to hide the identity of the headquarters... Well, it makes sense.
The interior of the meteorological observation station is small, and there are various meteorological observation equipment in the yard.
Staff members wearing gray overalls come out from time to time, holding pens and notebooks to record data.
So much so that Li Aiguo wondered whether he had two jobs here.
Yanzi took out the key, opened the office door, and let him in.
“Because of your reminder, when I returned to the station last night, I had already made arrangements to fully monitor Tailor Zhang.
The comrade in charge of monitoring discovered that Tailor Zhang suddenly went to the lumber factory this morning after meeting someone in the church."
As he spoke, Yanzi handed over a report: "Write everything on it."
Li Aiguo took it and looked at it carefully, his brows suddenly frowned.
"The other party actually made a move on Zhao Qingfang. It's obvious that they can't sit still."
Li Aiguo felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, I chose to trust and rely on the organization, otherwise my sister-in-law would be in big trouble this time.
"I have sent people to follow Butler Bai's car. I believe that Zhao Qingfang will not be in danger before the other party succeeds." Yanzi looked at Li Aiguo and said, "The problem now is that this matter involves the Hou family."
The Hou family is the vice-chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and they have some prestige in the capital's silk and satin industry. Without evidence, they can't easily move.
Yanzi reported this matter to Lao Mao via telegram last night.
In the call back, Lao Mao asked Yanzi to listen to Li Aiguo's opinion.
That's why she invited Li Aiguo to the weather station at the risk of being discovered by Chen Xueru.
Li Aiguo flipped through the various information collected by Yanzi.
According to data, the Hou family has been making various small moves since the public-private partnership.
Not long ago, the eldest son of the Hou family went to Guangcheng for a tour in the name of inspection.
According to feedback from comrades there, the eldest son of the Hou family once went deep into the coastal villages and had contact with the fishermen, but he had no intention of borrowing a boat to go out.
The second son of the Hou family sold off their inventory of silk and satin in the capital, and exchanged it for a large number of small yellow croakers and antiques.
The third son of the Hou family was responsible for contacting Tailor Zhang and left Beijing several times to explore routes.
Yanzi's biggest doubt is that before he understands the Hou family's conspiracy, once he takes action, he may be alerted.
Li Aiguo put down the materials, looked at the swallow and said, "Avoid the grass to scare the snakes? If all the grass by the river is pulled out, where can the nest of snakes escape?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Zi was shocked.
Is this still the prudent Driver Li?
After tilting her little head and thinking about it for a moment, Yanzi understood.
Yes, this is our territory.
The Hou family is under our surveillance again. The reason why they are not touched is because there is no definite evidence.
And action is the best way to obtain evidence.
"I understand. I will contact Lao Mao immediately and report your thoughts."
After Yanzi left, Li Aiguo took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a light puff.
Coming to this era, what Li Aiguo felt most was that no matter how clever the plot was, it was useless in front of Iron Fist.
Only with great effort can miracles happen!
As the leader of the five-person team, Lao Mao will definitely agree to his plan.
really.
After a while, Yanzi returned to the office and said excitedly: "Driver Li, the team leader has agreed to take action!"
"Okay!" Li Aiguo stood up and clenched his fists: "Act now!"
"Act now!"
"."
"."
Li Aiguo looked at Yanzi who was standing there, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Where are the manpower involved in the operation?"
"Should you call in the action team?" Li Aiguo reminded Yanzi when he saw that he still didn't understand.
Yanzi finally understood and explained: "All the team members responsible for the operation have been sent out to monitor the Hou family and Tailor Zhang."
"." Li Aiguo pointed to the weathermen who were doing radio gymnastics outside the door, and asked doubtfully: "Isn't he really a weatherman?"
"You are right to say that. They do know how to analyze the weather." Only then did Yanzi realize that there was a misunderstanding and explained it to Li Aiguo.
After Li Aiguo heard this, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
The weather station is indeed a real weather station. The employees here are responsible for announcing the weather conditions around Shijingshan.
Also responsible for providing technical support to investigation teams similar to Lao Mao.
The number of operational personnel in the weather station is limited. On weekdays, Lao Mao and the others often borrow personnel from the armed forces or security departments of various units.
This method of personnel deployment reminded Li Aiguo of several missions performed by Lao Mao. Lao Mao always went to the local area and borrowed local personnel.
The advantage of doing this is obvious, it will not expose your existence.
The enemy is hiding in the dark and may attack at any time.
"Which comrade do you want to borrow this time? The public security bureau? The police station? Or..."
"Qianmen Locomotive Depot Armed Forces Department!" Yanzi winked and said with a smile.
