Chapter 11: A Red Line

Zhao Zhengyuan immediately made a decision and asked Li Anping to spy on the suspected spy who lived in Xicheng closest to them and had the exact house number, and he went to inform the Public Security Bureau.

Li Anping left without thinking about it, he didn't know that Zhao Zhengyuan had to disclose his identity if he wanted to make the people in the Public Security Bureau believe what he said.

His situation was different from that of the underground worker who informed the Public Security Bureau to arrest Lu Jie, who was already wanted by the whole country at that time, and there were portraits and descriptions of his physical characteristics that could be compared.

This time, there was no direct evidence to prove that the "barber" was the identity of the other four, and it was difficult for the Public Security Bureau to listen to his words.

"The Barber", while still wanted, does not have any characterization of him, other than that he is adept at using razors as a weapon of killing.

Li Anping did not find out the exact address of the "barber".

It didn't make much sense to go to the small police station, so Zhao Zhengyuan went straight to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

To Zhao Zhengyuan's great disappointment, the public security officer on duty recorded what Zhao Zhengyuan said and his name, work unit, address, etc., no matter how Zhao Zhengyuan showed that he was an underground party, the public security officer just repeatedly told him that such a big matter could only be recorded, and he would have to wait for the next day's work time to consult the leader.

Zhao Zhengyuan asked him to immediately send the police to arrest people in Xicheng Rongxian Hutong, but the public security officer solemnly told him that this was the city bureau and that he had to go to the police station in the Rongxian Hutong area to report to the police.

Zhao Zhengyuan was so angry that he almost started with the public security officer on duty.

At this time, he was even more worried about Li Anping, he was afraid that his apprentice would not be calm and rashly make a move, and something would happen.

Zhao Zhengyuan estimated that it was not a way to spend it here, so it was better to go to Velvet Hutong to find Li Anping first, call him home, and come to the Municipal Public Security Bureau tomorrow.

Li Anping kept staring at the spy in Velvet Hutong, and the light in the spy room was on, indicating that he was at home, although the public security that Zhao Zhengyuan called had not yet come, he was not in a hurry.

Zhao Zhengyuan saw that Li Anping did not act, and his hanging heart was put down.

He asked Li Anping to go home first, and after getting off work, he went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to see the progress of the matter, and Li Anping continued to stare at the person in Velvet Hutong.

"Why don't you rush in and arrest him now? What are you waiting for tomorrow? Tomorrow they had already received the information from the 'barber' and escaped. ”

Li Anping also knew that he had been startled, and it was impossible for these spies to stay stupid and wait to be arrested when their identities were exposed.

What's more, I can't contact the upline, and I can't prove my identity at all.

"You think I'm not worried about that? What proof do you have that they're spies? Shall we say it? Who are we? ”

Obviously, he has found the traces of the spy, but because he can't be contacted, Zhao Zhengyuan has no way to prove his identity, and his words are unsubstantiated, and he is still thinking about how to deal with the Municipal Public Security Bureau tomorrow.

Li Anping was also stunned, now is neither the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression nor the period of Kuomintang rule, he can directly kill these five people with a gun.

Now it is New China, everything must be evidenced, he Li Anping can say that he is an underground party member, and the other party is a Kuomintang spy; The other party can also say that he is an underground party member, and he Li Anping is a Kuomintang spy.

The only way to prove their identity is through Zhao Zhengyuan's upline, but he just disappeared at this juncture.

Li Anping was indignant in his heart, he was already gearing up to do a big job, and he didn't want to just do it like this.

Looking at Li Anping, who was gritting his teeth, Zhao Zhengyuan said again: "Although it alarmed them, it may not be just a bad thing. Tomorrow night you will come here to monitor, and if they run away, we will have even more reason for the Public Security Bureau to check the records of their contacts. You don't see any of them, but the bathhouse people know them. ”

Li Anping felt that this was also reasonable, if these people ran away, the people of the Public Security Bureau would be more likely to believe that they were spies, and they would go to the people of Qinghuachi to inquire.

Regulars like them, it's impossible for people in Tsinghuachi not to remember what they look like. In this way, the public security bureau can issue wanted warrants, and even if they cannot be caught, they will not dare to show their faces in public.

The next day, Li Anping came home from work and quickly took a few bites of food, and when it got dark, he went to Velvet Hutong. Tonight, the person he was going to monitor didn't seem to be at home, and the room was pitch black all the time.

Li Anping even pricked up his ears, but still didn't hear a single sound.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Could it be that they really ran away when they heard the news?"

Li Anping anxiously waited for Zhao Zhengyuan to come over with someone from the Public Security Bureau, but the current situation seemed to be very bad.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and I don't know what happened to my master? There was no point in waiting like this, Li Anping felt the back of the house, put his ear against the wall, and couldn't hear any sound inside. He crept back to the door, opened it with the master key, and then carefully opened it again.

In the darkness, he could vaguely see that although the room was a little messy and smelled of dirty clothes, it didn't look like someone had packed up and moved away.

There was no moonlight, it was pitch black outside, and the room was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, and he didn't dare to light the lamp. Although Li Anping's eyes have adapted to the darkness, it is unlikely that he will find something useful in such an environment.

Since the man did not flee, he went out and waited for him to return.

Li Anping reached out to pull the door, but saw a small white thing on the low cabinet on the right side of the door, and he gently pinched it, it was a ball of paper that was crumpled together.

He hesitated for a moment, the ball of paper seemed to have been placed here casually when he entered or went out.

Li Anping didn't think too much, he took the paper, opened the door and went out.

Will there be any important information in the paper ball?

There were no street lamps on the street, and Li Anping saw an oil lamp lit in a farther place, which seemed to be used by some store to attract customers.

He walked in three steps and two steps, quickly walked to the oil lamp, unfolded the paper, and the paper read: "Room 101, Unit 2, Building 54, Kam Sun Street", and this line was drawn with a red line.

Room 101, Unit 2, Building 54, Kam Sun Street? Isn't this Zhao Zhengyuan's family?

Li Anping suddenly felt a chill chill chilling through his back, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

According to yesterday's plan, Zhao Zhengyuan went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau after work today, no matter whether he said that he had moved the Public Security Bureau, he should have come here to find himself as soon as possible.

But Zhao Zhengyuan hasn't appeared until now, and the address of his home is written on this piece of paper, and there is a red bar.

The more Li Anping thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he ran wildly......

Li Anping ran to Zhao Zhengyuan's residence out of breath, the door was open, and the lights were not turned on.

He hurriedly pushed open the door, and a smell of blood greeted him......
