Chapter 14 Reward? I want the old lady's house

As it turned out, Zheng Chaoyang's idea was not unreasonable. After some investigation, Bai Ling actually found some clues from the neighbors.

In addition, Zheng Chaoyang used the prisoner's dilemma, and that night, all the spies except the deaf old lady confessed.

Moreover, faced with such irrefutable evidence from the radio station, the deaf old lady had nothing to say and could only confess the truth and admit her identity as Phoenix.

The deaf old lady even told Zheng Chaoyang about another downline she knew about.

"Captain Zheng, I just want to know, how did you know our plan?"

The deaf old lady looked at Zheng Chaoyang and Bai Ling seriously.

Even now, she couldn't figure out where she lost.

"The net of heaven is vast and wide, nothing can escape it. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"

Zheng Chaoyang gave the deaf old lady a joking look.

This Phoenix has been lurking in the city of Sijiu for many years. If it weren't for He Daqing's report, I'm afraid they would have succeeded in the bombing of the steel mill and power plant.

However, he would not tell the deaf old lady the truth.

The next day, He Daqing was invited to the police station by Bai Ling.

"Comrade He Daqing, you have performed a great service this time!"

When they met again, Bai Ling was obviously much more enthusiastic than last time, and even made tea for He Daqing.

"No way. The people are in charge now. Reporting spies is what I should do."

He Daqing smiled modestly and took a sip of tea.

I thought to myself, after this heroic act, I shouldn't have to be afraid of anything even after ten years, right?

"I'm not exaggerating."

Bai Ling smiled and said,

"Because of your report, we were able to capture the spies in time and disrupt their operations. To a certain extent, it even helped us protect our property in Sijiu City and recover the huge losses."

"Let's put it this way."

Bai Ling looked at He Daqing.

"In view of your outstanding performance this time, we have decided to reward you. If you have any difficulties or anything you want, please tell me. If we can do it, we will do our best to satisfy you."

The significance of this arrest operation is not small. It directly destroyed two spy dens. They must give a certain reward to the informant. Only in this way will the masses continue to actively support them and catch more spies.

"That's it..."

He Daqing thought about it for a moment and stopped being modest.

People of this era are not as cunning as those in later generations. They are most concerned about being honest.

He Daqing pondered for a moment and said,

"Now that you mention it, I do have a problem."

"Oh? Tell me."

Bai Ling was slightly stunned. She thought He Daqing would refuse, but she didn't expect him to actually make a request to her. She became curious for a moment.

"Here's the situation."

He Daqing said seriously,

"My wife passed away many years ago. Now I have a son and a daughter. My daughter is seven years old. It's not very convenient for me to be both a father and a mother."

"so?"

"So, I want to find a mother for my child so that we can live a good life. But you have seen the conditions of my family. If I marry another one, Shazhu and Yushui will have to live in the side room, but they can't always live together..."

He Daqing sighed.

"I was thinking, since you have captured the old lady, the house with such a big backyard is just sitting there empty. Can you lend it to my son to live in temporarily? When he makes money in the future, he can vacate it for the government, how about that?"

Yes.

The reason why He Daqing reported the deaf old lady was not only to fulfill his duty and take revenge, but also because he had his eyes on the deaf old lady's house.

If Qin Huairu married me, she would definitely live in the main house.

But in this case, He Yuzhu can only live next door to Yu Shui, which is inconvenient as he is old.

If we could get the deaf old lady's house, wouldn't everything be solved?

Well, since you, Bai Ling, asked me to make a request and want to help me solve the problem, it’s okay for me to make it. Is that right?

There's nothing I can do, I'm just that honest.

"You want the old lady's house..."

Bai Ling was also shocked when she heard this.

She never expected that He Daqing would make such a request.

According to the requirements, once a spy like the deaf old lady is caught, she will basically not be released, and the old lady's house will naturally be confiscated.

However, when Bai Ling looked at He Daqing in front of her, she felt more sympathy in her heart.

At the age of over 30, with a son and a daughter, it would be really hard to find a partner if I didn’t have a house…

"In this case, I can't make the decision on this matter."

Bai Ling pondered and said,

"However, I will report this matter to the leader, and we will hold a meeting to study it. I will tell you when there is a result. How about that?"

"no problem!"

He Daqing grinned.

"I'm just saying that. If the government has difficulties, don't worry about it. I can overcome it!"

After chatting with Bai Ling for a while, He Daqing stood up and said goodbye.

However, when he walked out of the police station, he happened to meet Xu Wude and Yi Zhonghai who had just been released.

Because Xu Wude was the deaf old lady's neighbor and Yi Zhonghai had acted unusually nervous last night, the two were brought back and questioned all night.

Yes, Xu Wude and Yi Zhonghai really didn’t sleep the whole night.

"Hey, you two, why do you look like eggplants hit by frost?"

He Daqing couldn't help but tease when he saw the two people with droopy heads.

"You are an eggplant hit by frost!"

After walking out of the police station, Xu Wude finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard this, he couldn't help but glare at He Daqing.

This guy is really unlucky.

Yesterday I threatened He Daqing that I would go to the police station, but He Daqing was fine, and I actually stayed in the police station for the whole night.

Thinking about what happened that night, He Daqing felt a little scared.

"What, you want to do something?"

He Daqing snorted coldly and pointed to the police station behind him.

"This is a police station, try your hand at it! I'll tell them right now that you took pictures of the old lady and passed information to the spies!"

Having said that, he turned around and walked into the police station.

"Hey, don't!"

Hearing what He Daqing said, Xu Wood immediately panicked and quickly pulled him away.

"Brother He, Grandpa He, can I call you ancestor?"

Xu Wude had a sad face and almost knelt down to He Daqing.

"Don't say such things. It's my fault. It's all my fault. My ancestors, please forgive me!"

Xu Wood regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

Why should I threaten He Daqing with the photo if I have nothing to do? If I let He Daqing go in and talk nonsense now, even if I am innocent, I will probably have to stay in the police station for several days.

"I'll spare you. It's not impossible."

He Daqing put his hands in his pockets, looked at the cowardly Xu Wude, and said leisurely,

"Look, Xu Wood, you can take pictures, right? When I get married, take a family photo for me."
