When he returned to the unit at night, it was already the second half of the night, but Chu Tianqi just couldn't sleep, he was both excited and a little worried. He was excited that he had made a preliminary gain today, and he was worried about whether his footprints could be covered by the wind and sand, and whether he could be found by the "blue coat" to be visited.

He fell asleep at dawn, and then woke up a short time later, awakened by a nightmare. In his dream* the dummy appeared, and the tomb and the tombstone appeared. It's just that the dummy with the long tongue can move, and is carving words on the tombstone, and when the hammer strikes down, a string of sparks is immediately splashed.

Seeing that the time was already seven o'clock in the morning, Chu Tianqi rubbed his slightly sour eyes, got up and washed, and went straight to the cafeteria.

Seeing the director come in, many people were slightly surprised. Some people pretend to chew slowly, but in fact, they are secretly observing this leader, wanting to see the answer they want from the other party's face, and wanting to confirm the truth of various rumors. Someone put down the dishes and chopsticks and hurried away, but when they reached the door, they had to turn back and cast a glance at the person. Of course, there are also people who will come forward to talk, but their eyes wander away while talking, obviously talking is just an excuse.

People's various performances were completely unexpected by Chu Tianqi, he didn't deliberately pay attention to it, but tried to eat as much as he wanted as usual. When he had finished eating, he smiled at those who were observing him, as usual, and walked out with a brisk.

I haven't been on duty for many days, and some work has indeed been delayed. So, when Chu Tianqi returned to the office, he stepped up to deal with these things, and there was no time to wait, and there was no delay.

In this way, except for eating, Chu Tianqi didn't go out of the house, just dealing with the work he had accumulated. There is work at hand, but it is fast, and in the blink of an eye, it is December 5th, and Chu Tianqi has been drilling in the office for three days in a row.

I raised my hand and looked at the time, it was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon. Chu Tianqi stretched, shook his neck three times, leaned back in the chair and smiled, a kind of fascination and a pleasant smile.

……

Office of the Political Commissar of the Public Security Bureau.

Zhao Boxiang sat behind his desk, and Chang Liang, deputy political commissar and deputy director of the bureau, sat in a chair across from him.

Flicking the cigarette ash in his hand, Zhao Boxiang said: "Go back, I know what you said." ”

Chang Liang hurriedly said: "Political commissar, you haven't told me the answer yet, what the hell is going on." ”

"What's the answer?" Zhao Boxiang asked rhetorically.

"Xiao Young hasn't been able to show up in the unit for so many days, why has he been on duty in the unit for the past few days? Is he really fine, or is there something to say here?" Chang Liang finished speaking, looking at the other party, obviously waiting for a reply.

Zhao Boxiang smiled: "Chang Liang, didn't I tell you just now? What do you do, you don't need to report to you and me." A few days ago, people were often absent from the unit, and you said that people were off duty. Now people have been sitting in the office for three days in a row, and you wonder what this suspicion is. You are the deputy political commissar and deputy director, and you should focus more on your work instead of being suspicious of the leader all day long. ”

"It's not that I suspect it, but in this situation, I don't know whether I should report to him or not. If you don't report it, you're worried about dereliction of duty and being counted by the queen. Let's report, and I'm worried about leaks, and I'm worried about saying things that shouldn't be said. Chang Liang argued.

"How many times have I told you, report what you should report, and don't report what you don't want to report. Besides, if there's anything you can tell me, I'll help you out. Saying that, Zhao Boxiang waved his hand, "Go back, doing your job well is the right way, don't think about it all day long." ”

"That'...... All right. Chang Liang stood up, shook his head non-stop, and walked out of the office.

Looking at the direction of the door, looking at the door that had just closed, Zhao Boxiang leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought. He couldn't help but ask himself: What the hell is going on?

Thinking about it, Zhao Boxiang suddenly sat up, and his brows furrowed together. Then he got up from his seat again and paced back and forth on the ground.

Pacing around, Zhao Boxiang's brows furrowed even tighter, he came to the window and stood still, looking out intently.

……

On the anti-Japanese bridge in the northeast corner of Xuyuan County, it is deserted. Except for the occasional passing car and a scurry passerby, no one stopped on it.

Today, the local wind is still very strong, especially on the bridge deck, there is no special thing, people have long been at home watching TV, or nesting in the house to play cards and drink. Who would run out to blow the wind? Especially if they couldn't stay on the bridge and soak in the cool breeze.

At the western end of the bridge, near the guardrail on the south side of the bridgehead, a 212 van was parked. Under the street lights, the van was very dilapidated and had no license plates, and passers-by were too lazy to look at it, thinking that some drunkard had thrown it one day. There are also the occasional curious people, who will hurriedly glance into the car, but the driver's and co-pilot's seats are empty, and there is nothing.

People would not have thought that on this broken car, there was a dignified deputy department-level leader, and Chu Tianqi, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Xuyuan County Public Security Bureau.

This car, known only to him and Sharp Sword, was specially prepared for the performance of some special tasks. The car looks shabby and the model is too average, but the performance is very good. The way it is now is deliberately done, deliberately so shabby, deliberately hiding the license plate.

Chu Tianqi sat directly behind the driver's seat, holding an infrared telescope in his hand, and was looking at Xuxing Bridge from time to time. The car was parked against the guardrail of the bridge, and the position where he sat was convenient for observing the situation downstream without worrying about being discovered.

Looking at the time, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and more than an hour had passed since I came. For more than an hour, he watched almost once a minute or two, but the expected shadow never appeared.

After a slight pause, Chu Tianqi raised the infrared telescope again.

Suddenly, an image of a man pushing a tricycle appeared in the footage. Chu Tianqi felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and the camera moved with that image.

About twenty minutes later, the image went up the ring road and headed for the alley opposite.

Chu Tianqi held the telescope in one hand, and at the same time quickly turned to the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards that target.

Just when the 212 car arrived at the mouth of the alley, Chu Tianqi clearly saw that the tricycle had arrived in the alley, and the tricycle was riding a man in a coat, and on the back of the coat were two clear reflective words "clean".

After confirming that the "blue coat" had already entered the alley, Chu Tianqi immediately drove the 212 car down the ring road and parked it on the east side wall of a private house.

After taking his things, jumping out of the car, and locking the door, Chu Tianqi quickly crossed the ring road and arrived at the east side of the road. He found the place where the gentle slope was, and with a flashlight, three clear ruts appeared from the bottom of the slope to the side of the road, as well as clear shoe prints. Looking at the direction of the shoe print, it came up from the slope, and it must have been left by the "blue coat" when he just pushed the cart.

Leaving this gentle slope, Chu Tianqi walked more than twenty meters south and stopped. After looking left and right, and finding no pedestrians, he quickly squatted down, used his hands and feet together, and went down to the bottom of the slope. This place is steeper than the gentle slope just now, but it is made of stone, and people will not leave shoe prints when they go down from here.

When he arrived on the flat ground, Chu Tianqi also picked a place with dry grass to walk, trying not to leave shoe prints.

I didn't go far to the Wadi Bay area. When passing through the dry river bay, Chu Tianqi did not pass directly through the opposite side, but walked downstream in the bend of the river. It wasn't until he saw the stone road that Chu Tianqi picked the hard riverbed to pass through and arrived at the stone road.

After the stone road, there is farmland. Chu Tianqi did not take the flat land that had been ploughed over, but sought the near and far, and passed through the hard-bottom dividing line between the plots.

From the ring road down to the ploughland, there are no footprints, and there is no need to worry about the rest of the dry grass. So, Chu Tianqi no longer stared at his feet, but looked up to find the dummy. The dummy was in front, and in a short time, he was there. It was not far from the dummy to the tomb, and it took Chu Tianqi a short time to bypass the tomb and arrive at the courtyard, which was the "Tomb of the Living Dead" that the "Blue Coat" talked about that day.

Chu Tianqi came here this night specifically to explore this "tomb of the living dead". He didn't act rashly that day, just to avoid startling the snake, and then according to what the other party said, "pick up the goods once every three days", he chose to act today. This place was right in front of him, but Chu Tianqi didn't rush in, but circled around the courtyard wall twice. After two turns, he didn't notice anything unusual, he didn't see the so-called organ ambush, he didn't see any light in the courtyard, he didn't hear anyone talking inside.

Chu Tianqi put on special gloves, came to the outside of the east wall of the courtyard, walked around the courtyard on tiptoe, and then put his hands on the wall, and with a swing of his feet, he reached the wall. After reconfirming that there was no danger, he floated lightly and jumped into the yard.

More than half of the sky in the courtyard was covered with black canvas, making the space even darker, and Chu Tianqi turned on a flashlight and shone outside. There are two main rooms on the front of the courtyard, and there are two east rooms on the side, and the men and women who saw through the crack in the door that day came out of the east room.

There were a lot of cardboard boxes and bags in the yard, and a lot of them in the east room. Chu Tianqi thought about it and went to the east room first. When he came to the east room, Chu Tianqi held a flashlight in one hand and held the mouth of the bag or cardboard box, turning it through with the other hand. It took more than half an hour to turn over all the cartons and bags in the room.

After turning over the East House, Chu Tianqi went to the courtyard again and continued to rummage through those cardboard boxes and bags. This time it took a little shorter, but it took about twenty minutes to finish the work.

After a little flurging, Chu Tianqi came to the window of the main room and shone a flashlight into the house. The furnishings in the back room are very simple, there is only a set of combination cabinets, there is luggage, and there are only simple kitchen utensils in the outhouse.

Standing in the courtyard, Chu Tianqi secretly said in his heart: Why not?

No, I had to turn it over again, so Chu Tianqi entered the East House again. Not only did I go through the bags and cardboard boxes, but I also turned over the two wooden cabinets and a jar inside, but I didn't have what I was looking for.

Suddenly, there was a sound in Chu Tianqi's ears, and he hurriedly held his breath and listened carefully. Then, I went to the courtyard to capture the sound.

It's not good, there's a sound of cars, it's coming here. Thinking of this, Chu Tianqi quickly came to the corner of the wall where he had just entered the courtyard, climbed the wall, and climbed out.
