Ren Xiaotian heard the detachment leader's question, grinned and said: "It is very clear in the materials that Xiang Ziliang's hometown is in Yanjing, and his wife and children are in France. When he was released, he did not return to his hometown or rush to reunite with his family abroad, but he came to settle in a small prefecture-level city like ours, which is not economically developed and is not very developed. In the middle of this, there will definitely be something we don't know about the inside story. ”

"What kind of inside information do you think could have attracted him to our seaside city, and could it be related to his previous spy experience?" Captain Song was still quietly questioning.

Ren Xiaotian touched his nose with his hand. After a moment's hesitation, he replied firmly, "I don't think it's very likely." ”

"Why?" Captain Song didn't stop at all, and then asked.

Ren Xiaotian opened his mouth and replied: "I think that no matter what kind of secrets Xiang Ziliang has, no matter how many secrets he has that we don't know, I believe that after more than 30 years of squeezing, the agents of the Ministry of Security should be squeezed dry." Since Xiang Ziliang was able to come to settle with us with great fanfare, this means that there is nothing worthy of the attention of the Security Bureau. If there is, then it should be the Ministry of Security to settle Xiang Ziliang's settlement, not us to operate all this. To put it simply, they should also take the initiative to get it from our police. Otherwise, they won't be able to sleep. ”

"Well, Xiaotian, it makes sense." The detachment leader, who had always had a very serious face, finally showed an appreciative smile.

Ren Xiaotian said smoothly, and his thoughts gradually opened. He pinched his nose and said, "I think, in this place on the seaside, there must be something Xiang Ziliang is concerned about." When people are old, they want to finish everything, which is in line with the mentality of the elderly. This is especially true for an old spy like him, who is very determined. However, his wish probably has nothing to do with safety work. We just need to carry out general monitoring and keep abreast of the relevant situation. ”

"Ha Luha, Xiao Tian, the analysis is good. Your director, sending you here, is a great deed. Okay, pass the exam, and this task will be handed over to you. Xiang Ziliang's resettlement work in Haibin City is up to you. You start with his housing to see if there is a suitable house, and help rent it first. Captain Song threw another cigarette to Ren Xiaotian.

After he received it, he ran over first to help the detachment leader light a cigarette. Then, while lighting a cigarette for himself, he smiled and said, "Hey, detachment leader, it's up to you to talk about this." In my jurisdiction, there is a 42-square-meter house. It is a dormitory converted from an old office building, each household is two and a half rooms, with a kitchen and a bathroom, which is just suitable for this old spy to live. ”

"Would people be willing to rent out their houses? Where did the owner himself live? The detachment leader asked worriedly. At that time, the housing situation was not very good. It is impossible to have hundreds of houses in one person's hands, and it is impossible to easily rent them out, as will be the case in the future.

Hearing the detachment leader's question, Ren Xiaotian smiled confidently: "No problem, the owner of the house, Uncle Wang, went to France to visit his son who was studying there." He said that he was going to live there for a few years, and asked my sister to find a proper person to rent out the house. ”

"Your sister! Who is your sister? Quickly recruit me from the truth. "The leader of the Song detachment knows Ren Xiaotian's family situation, and he only has a younger sister who is studying in Yanjing, and he has no sister. Originally, he wouldn't have bothered with such idle matters. Just because Ren Xiaotian's answer just now satisfied him, he was happy in his heart, so he joked with Ren Xiaotian.

Hearing the detachment leader's question, Ren Xiaotian hurriedly explained: "Detachment leader, that's a sister I recognize, her name is Shui Suqin. works in the urban discipline inspection committee, and lives next door to Uncle Wang. With her helping us, it is also convenient for us to grasp and control the situation in a timely manner. Detachment leader, do you think this kind of house will work? ”

"Well, yes, yes. Then you should hurry up and get in touch with your sister and rent the house first. Speaking of this, the leader of the Song detachment said again: "If there is any situation, report to me in time." Others, don't get involved in this. ”

Hearing the detachment leader's order, Ren Xiaotian nodded again and again. After coming out of the security detachment, he pedaled his bicycle in the direction of the city government.

"Xiaotian, sit down, sit down. On this hot day, why don't you know how to find a place to rest for a while? Look at the sweat you run so far. Shui Suqin was also a little surprised to see Ren Xiaotian find her office. However, she didn't bother to ask. While beating the towel, he complained a few words.

After all these things were done, Shui Suqin sat down and asked, "Xiaotian, what's the urgency, why are you in a hurry to come to me?" ”

Ren Xiaotian smiled innocently and said, "Sister Shui, isn't the house of Uncle Wang's house next door to your house going to be rented?" I have a job partner here who needs to rent a house. With that in mind, I'm looking for you. ”

He gave a brief introduction to Xiang Ziliang's situation and said, "Sister, with you living next to the old spy, we can also grasp the situation in time." Sister, do you think that's the truth? ”

Shui Suqin pursed her lips and smiled: "Xiaotian, it is fake that you helped Uncle Wang's family rent a house, but it is my sister's tolerance that is true." ”

"Of course, that's of course. Who made you my sister. When encountering such a thing, what kind of person can be reliable with a person like my sister! Ren Xiaotian slapped Shui Suqin a little fart.

On such a hot day, no one will be in a good mood to go outside. Originally, Ren Xiaotian was just angry and prepared to go to the public security detachment to deal with the tolerance.

Who knows, after he accepted the task from Captain Song, his mentality has changed a lot. After helping the old spy to implement the matter of renting a house, Ren Xiaotian did not directly report to Captain Song that the task was completed, but took the key from Sister Shui and rushed to the rented house.

Ren Xiaotian first opened the doors and windows, so that the musty smell in the house due to the inhabited people for many days emanated away, and the air from the outside world circulated well. Then he took off his uniform, rolled up his sleeves, took a broom and a rag, and cleaned the whole house from the inside out.

After everything was cleaned, Ren Xiaotian carefully counted the daily necessities in the house, and then went to the street store to make up for the rice, noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. After working for a long time, he finally got all the work done, and then he finished a job, and then he returned to the city police station with confidence.

After listening to the report, Captain Song squinted his eyes at Ren Xiaotian, who was busy with sweat and dust, and nodded with satisfaction. This young man is always nailed and nailed when he does things, and he is not ambiguous at all. I don't know why this child's fate is always so bad?

He let Ren Xiaotian sit by the electric fan and blow for a while before deliberately asking, "Xiaotian, is it worth letting you do this just for such an old spy?" ”

Ren Xiaotian also froze when he heard the detachment leader ask so suddenly. Is it necessary to do so much for an old spy? I just thought of the materials of the few pieces of paper I saw just now, but I subconsciously nodded.

Ren Xiaotian learned from the information that within a few years after liberation, the old spy entered the prison cell. Finally released from prison after completing his sentence, he did not go abroad to reunite with his family, nor did he return to his hometown of Yanjing City to retire, but ran to Haibin City to settle down.

That Xiang Ziliang, although he is a little older, if he is reunited with his family, he can still live a stable life for a few days. I really don't know what kind of idea this old spy has, what is he going to do in a poor place like the seaside?

The old spy is also a human being, an old man in his seventies, who has been in a prison cell for more than 30 years. For most of his life, he was buried in a prison where he did not see the light of day. It is not an easy task to get out of prison alive, and no matter how big the sin is, it can be considered enough to compensate.

Besides, people have also done a lot of good things for the national righteousness, in that war-torn era, when killing little devils, they did not pretend to be cowardly, but showed the national integrity of Chinese men. It is also reasonable to let the old man live a little better.

"Detachment leader, I don't have any other reasons, just out of a kind of seclusion. Although Xiang Ziliang is a person from the hostile camp, he has already paid the price of dozens of springs and autumns for his past crimes. In my mind, as long as he doesn't continue to sin, he is an old man in his last years. Ren Xiaotian calmly said his inner thoughts.

Captain Song nodded, this is a good boy with a kind heart. Next, he reported the implementation of this side to the Public Security Bureau of the Provincial Police Department by phone. The rest of the matter is simple, that is, to wait for the arrival of the old spy with peace of mind.

Not long after, the head of the Song detachment received a notice from the telephone switchboard, saying that there was an internal phone in the office of the director of the provincial police department to find him. Before he could figure out what was going on, a gentle voice came out of the microphone and said, "It's Comrade Song Mingda, I'm Luo Dingshan, Secretary of Director Zhou." ”

"Secretary Luo, hello. I'm Song Mingda, what are the instructions of the leader? Of course, Song Mingda knows the rules of the officialdom, and Luo Dingshan's phone call is equivalent to the director of the department, Zhou Shaosong, issuing instructions.

"There's something I want to inform you. At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the car of the head of the Jinling Military Region specially sent Xiang Ziliang to Haibin City to settle down. Comrade Mingda, you must attach importance to this matter. The reception is good, the placement is good, and there must be no mistakes. ”

After a while, the deputy director in charge of public security also called, repeatedly instructing, saying that the newly transferred director Zhou was very concerned about Xiang Ziliang's placement work.

Song Mingda felt a little inexplicable, what was going on? An old spy who has been in prison for half his life inexplicably wants to settle in Seaside City, which in itself reveals a lot of treacherous colors. Since it is a settlement, it is not a big deal, why would it cause such concern from the upper echelons?
