Chapter 396 Almost Exposed

Chapter 396 Almost Exposed
Lu Ming was the first to get off the bus.

He is a shrewd man.

I always want to please Gao Bin.

In addition, a criminal was caught on the train today, which is a good topic of conversation.

He put on sunglasses and walked quickly to Gao Bin, extending his hand with great worldly wisdom, saying:

"Chief, thank you for your hard work.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"Thank you for your hard work." Gao Bin smiled and shook hands with him.

Just talking.

Liu Kui was escorting a shackled, gentle-looking man with glasses, who was walking towards them from the other end of the carriage with a murderous look on his face.

"What's going on?" Gao Bin asked.

"I caught him on the road. He behaved indecently. I suspected he was a spy," Liu Kui replied.

Gu Qiuyan's expression changed slightly.

She subconsciously worried whether this person might be one of her own.

Just when everyone was stunned, Zhou Yi stood on the ladder, raised his broken sunglasses and waved his hand, making a welcoming gesture, hoping to attract the attention of the female comrade he was meeting.

Unfortunately, Gu Qiuyan was standing in a bad position and her attention was attracted by Liu Kui's affairs, so she missed it.

Zhou Yi secretly thought that this was not good.

Take a few quick steps.

But Chen Jingyu, Li Xiangwu and others reached out to him.

Zhou Yi could only bite the bullet and remain calm, smiling, shaking hands and exchanging brief greetings.

"Lu Ming.

"That's Mrs. Zhou. She said she was studying piano in another city. She just arrived today. I'll ask you to take care of her."

Here Gao Bin whispered to Lu Ming.

"I understand." Lu Ming turned his head and looked at Gu Qiuyan with a smile.

Square sunglasses.

It’s still fair, but the sunglasses cover half of the outline.

28%... This is not important, maybe he just had his hair cut short.

Gu Qiuyan quickly analyzed the situation in her mind.

Liao Chunxiang pushed her gently and said, "Big sister, why are you still standing there?"

"Oh."

Gu Qiuyan nodded shyly and walked towards Lu Ming.

At this time, Zhou Yi was surrounded by a group of people again, blocking his view.

And everything happened in a flash.

Just when Gu Qiuyan was about to mistake Lu Ming for Zhou Yi.

Hong Zhiyou came out from the side, standing between her and Lu Ming, and shouted at Zhou Yi with his right hand outstretched:
"Captain Zhou, let me help you carry your luggage."

"That won't work." Zhou Yi responded quickly.

"You have been lurking behind enemy lines and returned triumphantly after a long journey. You are a great hero of our police department and you deserve it." Hong Zhiyou took over naturally.

Gu Qiuyan was startled and got goose bumps all over her body.

It was a close call. I almost recognized the wrong person.

"Qiu Yan!"

Zhou Yi looked over here with a casual and unfocused gaze, and shouted something without any specific target, in order to remind the female comrade.

Gu Qiuyan smiled at him sweetly, regained her composure, and nodded to Lu Ming with a smile.

"Mrs. Zhou." Lu Ming made eye contact with her and greeted her with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, coming all the way to pick up my husband." Gu Qiuyan said politely.

She speaks in the cool and artistic manner of a literary person.

The voice was very thin and soft, as if he was only superficially polite to everyone, lacking any real enthusiasm or kindness.

"Why work so hard? We are all family." Lu Ming said.

Gu Qiuyan turned around, swallowed her saliva in fear, and walked towards Zhou Yi.

"Qiu Yan!" Zhou Yi stood there, pretending to chat and laugh with other agents, and just made a simple gesture.

"Why have you changed?"

Gu Qiuyan stepped forward and nervously said the secret code.

"Really? You've changed too."

Zhou Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her gently.

Gu Qiuyan put her hands on his back, leaned on his shoulders, closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.

"Crash!"

Gao Bin and others applauded.

"Okay, I think we have the whole night to show our affection. Deputy Director Liu is still waiting for us, so let's get in the car." Gao Bin humorously interrupted the welcoming ceremony.

"Liu Kui, take the ideological criminal to the hall first.

"Zhou Yi, Mrs. Zhou, please ride in the same car with me."

Gao Bin's eyes flickered and he gave the order.

"Please." He raised his hand to signal Zhou Yi and his wife to go first.

Then he slowed down a few steps and whispered to Hong Zhiyou who was carrying the box:

"I'll try to get some words out of you later."

Hong Zhi nodded slightly.

"Ajie..." Liao Chunxiang was just about to talk to her beloved nephew.

Gao Bin frowned and glared at her, then said, "Hong Zhiyou is the head of the economics department who was just sent here by Xinjing."

"Oh, Xiaohong." She smiled uncomfortably.

Seeing the nephew she raised standing so close to her, not allowed to speak and even with his name changed, Liao Chunxiang felt inexplicably sad and aggrieved.

There are too many people here.

Hong Zhi didn't dare to look at her for too long. He chased after Zhou Yi with the suitcase in his hand, reached the car first, and put Zhou Yi's suitcase in the trunk.

After thinking about it, he packed the luggage of the ideological criminal Professor Jin into the bag.

Got in the car.

Hong Zhiyou drives.

Gao Bin was sitting in the passenger seat.

The slightly fat aunt squeezed in the back seat with Zhou Yi and his wife.

"Chief, there's a new person in the hall. This person looks unfamiliar." Zhou Yi asked with a smile.

"Captain Zhou, he is not a driver, he is the new head of the Economic Section, a graduate of the Japanese Army Academy, and was approved by the Shibuya Chief.

"It just so happens that tonight is a double celebration, as you and Xiao Hong are both taking up new posts at the same time."

Gao Bin explained.

"That's so embarrassing. He is on the same level as you, yet you still ask him to carry your luggage." Gu Qiuyan gave Zhou Yi a reproachful look.

"It's okay. I'll carry it for Section Chief Xiaohong next time." Zhou Yi said with a smile.

“Well, it needs to be made up.

"Now the general affairs have also been assigned to the economic department. Be careful that Section Chief Hong may deduct your performance." Gao Bin said humorously.

He always manages to liven up the atmosphere just right.

"How dare I? Captain Zhou is my senior. I hope you will take care of me and support me in the future." Hong Zhiyou said with a humble smile.

"I don't deserve your care. I am working for Chief Gao and His Majesty the Emperor, and we want to make progress together." Zhou Yi said.

"Look, you two are both more talkative than each other.

"What happened to the man Liu Kui arrested?"

Gao Bin laughed and turned to ask.

"This guy openly spoke wildly on the train, saying some anti-Japanese and anti-Manchu remarks. Lu Ming and Liu Kui couldn't stand it, so they taught him a lesson." Zhou Yi said.

“I said you guys are real.

"We are all Chinese, so let him say a few words." Liao Chunxiang blurted out.

"Madam Gao, it is true that we are Chinese, but this is Manchukuo.

"This kind of intellectuals is as dangerous as fire, and if you are not careful they can start a prairie fire.

“This is also what the Japanese are most worried about.

"Otherwise they wouldn't be trying so hard to force today's children to learn Japanese and revise the textbooks."

Zhou Yi said coldly with the look of a loyal hawk.

“Stinky intellectuals are not to be feared.

"The Japanese bullets can destroy all the noise and make them shut up.

"What we are afraid of is the kind of people who hide among us, quietly infiltrating us and escaping without a trace.

“It’s like when you sleep at night, there is a pair of eyes hanging on the ceiling staring at you. If you grind your teeth, talk in your sleep, and fart a few times, everyone knows it clearly.

"The Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters had family members of high-ranking Japanese military officials, who were considered red tickets.

“Right now, Lieutenant General Shirokura of the Military Police Command and Chief Saburo Shibuya are keeping a tight rein on the operation.

"I am very worried. Are there such eyes around us, staring at us?"

Gao Bin turned around and spoke in a tone that was hard to tell whether it was a joke or a serious tone.

Gu Qiuyan met his sharp gaze, forced a smile, her heart pounding wildly.

She knew she had almost made a mistake on the platform today.

Perhaps these details have aroused the butcher's suspicion.

"With you here, Chief Gao, if someone really has such a pair of eyes, they will be blinded sooner or later." Zhou Yi held Gu Qiuyan's hand and flattered her with a smile.

Hong Zhiyou glanced at Zhou Yi through the rearview mirror.

There was no doubt that my uncle had met his match.

Zhou Yi is definitely a "master-level" lurker.

He is always so calm and indifferent, no matter how strong the storm is or how fierce the mountain is about to collapse, no one can catch a trace of fear or change in his eyes or face.

Judging from this point of view alone, Zhou Yi's "skill" is clearly superior to Lao Yu's.

When Old Yu saw Manager Qiu and Jiang Aimei being tortured, his emotions fluctuated, and he even provided cover for them at one point.

And Zhou Yi.

Like a precision-calculating robot, he is so calm that one would doubt whether he still has emotions.

"Yes.

"Now that you're back, our secret service department is now fully staffed. It's time to do something." Gao Bin didn't read anything in his eyes and retracted his head.

As he said this, he glanced at Hong Zhiyou.

Hong Zhi understood and took over the conversation: "Sister-in-law, you and Captain Zhou haven't seen each other for some years, right?"

"It's been almost two years." Gu Qiuyan didn't want to answer, but had to smile and respond.

"I heard that less than half a year after you got married, Captain Zhou went to carry out a mission behind enemy lines.

"It's been so long since we last met, and you two don't seem to have much to talk about.

"When I was in Tokyo, there was a classmate who hadn't seen his girlfriend for only half a month, and they were so excited that they wanted to stick together."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

“I’m past the age of being clingy.

"Not as good as you young people."

Zhou Yi smiled mechanically, without any displeasure.

"Captain Zhou is a gentleman."

"You can be so sticky in front of us." Liao Chunxiang said with a smile.

Gu Qiuyan also pulled her hand out of Zhou Yi's palm at the right time.

"How is the situation inside the Great Wall? I heard the situation there is very tense." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Yes.

“The Japanese also had a hard time in North China.

"The red ticket was chasing them from behind, and Dai Li didn't let them go either. Just before I came back, a colonel of the Third Division of the North China Garrison was assassinated by someone from the Military Control Commission's Peking Station.

"They are now also starting to play Manchukuo tricks, and we must use our own fists to deal with them.

"Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai are said to have fled to Hanoi and then to Tokyo.

"In the future, they may very well be the next Puyi in the interior."

Zhou Yi said.

"Chief Gao, we may be transferred to work in the interior someday." He smiled.

"That would be great." "Don't mention it, I'm really tired of staying in Harbin. It would be nice to take a cruise on the Huangpu River." Gao Bin said with a smile.

"Captain Zhou.

"So are you going to be the Red or the Green this time? I admire heroes behind enemy lines like you. I heard that Dai Li has eyes on the back of his head. The mission must be very difficult."

Hong Zhiyou asked in a very "clumsy" way.

“If you want to know the answer to this question, you have to ask Deputy Director Liu and the superiors of Binjiang General Office.

"I think the NCO academy should have taught you confidentiality regulations."

Zhou Yi smiled.

"Chief Hong, this is top secret, don't ask about things you shouldn't.

"You might lose your head."

Gao Bin frowned somewhat unhappily.

This kid is still too young and lacks some skills in making inquiries.

"Yes, Chief." Hong Zhiyou smiled bitterly.

……

Yamato Hotel.

The decoration is magnificent and the aroma of wine is everywhere.

Liu Zhenwen, deputy director of the Police Department, raised his glass and smiled, his voice as gentle as his appearance:

“Everyone, welcome Zhou Yi back from behind enemy lines.

“At the same time, we also welcome Hong Zhiyou, an outstanding graduate returning from the Japanese Army Academy.

"I am here to formally announce their new appointments by order of Lord Whitehall.

"Zhou Yi was promoted to captain of the special agent operations team.

“Hong Zhiyou is the head of the Economic Section under the Economic Division of the National Police Agency.

"Let's raise a glass to celebrate them together."

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.

Hong Zhiyou noticed that Lu Ming looked a little unhappy.

In the past, the Special Agent Department had an Operations Unit.

But the spy mission in Harbin is arduous. It is known as the capital of spies and there is a mixed bag of spies from many countries.

In order to increase the manpower and organization of the Special Agent Department, Liu Zhenwen specially upgraded the Action Unit to an Action Team.

In this way, the captain has great power.

In addition to having many subordinates, he also has the right to control other departments at any time, making him the absolute second-in-command of the Special Agent Department.

Liu Kui and Lu Ming, who were originally at the same level as Zhou Yi, gradually became his de facto subordinates.

Lu Ming originally thought that Gao Bin could become the captain.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi intervened.

Naturally, he felt unhappy.

However, Zhou Yi had a long tenure in the hall, had just made great contributions, and had a good relationship with Liu Zhenwen, so Lu Ming had no choice but to accept his fate.

We had a brief chat.

Liu Zhenwen stood up and left the table as he was drunk.

"Chief Gao, Captain Zhou, I have an appointment, so I'll leave first."

Hong Zhiyou sat for a while, said hello, and left first.

Arrived at the door.

He just met Liu Kui who was rushing over, and the two almost bumped into each other.

"You're so impatient. Be more careful next time."

Liu Kui had seen this guy on the platform. He was a new driver who came to the station in the afternoon.

"Captain Hong, please move aside." A waiter happened to pass by and said politely to Hong Zhi.

"Excuse me."

Hong Zhiyou made room.

"Section Chief Hong?" Liu Kui's domineering look was restrained a little.

"Section Chief Liu, you are the head of the Ideological Section, and I am the head of the Economic Section. We will be colleagues from now on, so please take care of me." Hong Zhiyou said.

“Okay, okay.” Liu Kui nodded in surprise.

“I heard that Section Chief Liu likes to collect antiques.

“Coincidentally, I like it too.

"Let's discuss this together some other day."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

After saying that, he walked out quickly.

Arrived at the door.

Hong Zhiyou stared at the car and was slightly stunned.

Then, drove home.

……

Under the night.

Xiao Guohua and Xiao Jia hid in the dark shadows nearby.

"Brother Xiao, he drove the car away." Xiao Jia frowned.

"I don't know what Chen Xianzhou is up to. He picked such an unreliable person. Scholars are so damn unreliable." Xiao Guohua cursed.

“What to do?
"How about we catch up?

"Our car has been modified and has a lot of horsepower, so we can definitely catch up.

"I shot that guy to death and took the code book back."

Xiao Jia said.

"No need." Xiao Guohua said in a deep voice.

He knew that Hong Zhi had met the stationmaster.

Although Stationmaster Wu didn't quite trust this young man.

But Boss Dai has carried books for this person.

Let's wait a moment.

"Let's retreat." He glanced coldly at the car going away and walked away quickly.

……

Hong Zhiyou returned to his residence.

He lived not far from Gao Bin's villa.

The original body grew up in Fengtian, and many people have seen him there. As for Gao Bin’s nephew’s identity, anyone with connections can find it out with some effort.

Hong Zhiyou used it purely for the purpose of changing his name.

Since he is Gao Bin’s nephew, it doesn’t matter if he lives close to him.

The experience of his previous life told him.

The more repressed, the more disaster-prone and misfortunate a place is, the more scarce things like dignity and emotion are. Their value is attached to gold and yen, and can often bring unexpected rewards.

Harbin is more brutal and resources are more scarce.

The effectiveness of his formula may be further magnified.

The first target is Gao Bin and his aunt.

He has to grasp this family relationship. Only when he completely gains Gao Bin's trust can he make his move in Harbin.

boom!
Hong Zhiyou slammed the trunk, locked the car, and went upstairs carrying Professor Jin and Zhou Yi's boxes.

He thought about it.

Since I can't hide my identity from my uncle.

So even if he took Zhou Yi's box, he could only blame himself for being unlucky and being targeted by Gao Bin.

On the contrary, deliberately taking only Professor Jin's box and not Zhou Yi's would arouse suspicion that he was deliberately looking for something.

After all, Professor Jin’s box has to be handed in tomorrow.

Of course, Hong Zhiyou believed that Zhou Yi would not be stupid enough to put important things in the box.

He deliberately opened Zhou Yi's box.

Simply but meticulously, he changed the vertical placement of one of Gogol's novels to a horizontal position and then locked it again.

Then, Hong Zhiyou's attention turned to Professor Jin's box.

This was why he drove away early tonight.

There were clothes and books in the box.

There was also a camera and some boxes of film.

People from Hong Kong are still rich!

Hong Zhiyou complained, took out the film guide, carefully pulled out the film, and confirmed that one of the rolls had scratches.

He quickly put it away.

Then put everything back in its original place.

The original film of the drama fell into Zhou Yi's hands.

Later, the Military Intelligence Bureau implemented an iron-blooded plan to eliminate traitors from the police department. Zhou Yi escaped disaster by cracking the contents of the Military Intelligence Bureau's telegram with the help of the code on the film.

But now it seems that, just like the world of "Insidious" in the previous life, reality is far more complicated, strange and dangerous than in the original drama.

For example, Gu Qiuyan today.

If I hadn't intervened in time, she would have most likely mistaken Lu Ming for Zhou Yi.

Even so, Hong Zhiyou believed that his uncle had become suspicious of this woman.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed myself to interrogate her in the car.

If the box was left in Zhou Yi's car, he would have to return it to the hall according to the procedure.

Hong Zhiyou didn't dare to take the risk.

Because the uncle may be fake, but Old Wu is his real father-in-law. He was so in the last life, and it is very likely that he is in this life as well.

In my previous life, I was born in 1921.

Ruirui is one year younger than him, 22 years.

In other words, she is only sixteen years old now and should still be in high school?

Isn’t that great?

Hang out with Old Wu for two or three years first, then you'll become close friends and your status will rise. Then wouldn't it be natural for you to become his son-in-law?

Put away the film.

He took a bath and had to visit his aunt later.

……

after an hour.

Zhou Yi and others walked out of the hotel drunk.

After greeting each other.

Zhou Yi helped Qiu Yan, who was drunk and had unsteady steps, to get into the car.

"Where's the car?"

He asked driver Jin at the door.

"Oh, Section Chief Hong drove his car away." said driver Jin.

"My luggage is still in the car." Zhou Yi frowned.

"This..." Driver Jin didn't know how to answer.

"Captain Zhou, I'll call him later and ask him to send it to you." Gao Bin said as he was about to get on another car.

"No need, just a few pieces of clothes. Don't disturb Section Chief Hong's rest. He will drive the car to the hall tomorrow morning and I can get it myself." Zhou Yi said.

"That's fine." Gao Bin nodded.

Then he told driver Jin, "Have the dispatch department re-arrange the cars tomorrow and give Captain Zhou a good car."

"Thank you, Section Chief." Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"We are one family, why be polite?

"Then I wish you and your spouse a happy reunion and a sweet dream.

“Don’t get too tired.

"Director Bai will come to issue the appointment documents tomorrow morning.

"See you tomorrow."

Gao Bin patted him on the shoulder and got into the car.
