Ning Zhiheng carefully put away the dozen or so small tea cans and wooden boxes, once again confirmed that there were no traces left, exited Lu Ming's house, locked the door, and quickly rushed back to his home.

He took out the small tea pot again and checked it carefully, the tea leaves in it were very ordinary, and they were Longjing, which was often drunk by southerners, which was sold in many tea shops on the streets of Nanjing.

The tea leaves were poured out, and the small tea cans were made of hardwood, which was very delicate, and it was not common on the market, but there were no markings of merchants on the surface.

Why does Lu Ming buy so many tea leaves at home, these should not be a one-time purchase. Otherwise, it won't be divided into so many small tea canned tea, it's too troublesome!

It should be one tea pot at a time, so why did Lu Ming buy so many tea leaves in multiple times?

It's very simple, he must often go to a tea shop, and every time he buys a small pot of tea back, he can't drink so much tea alone, so why does he buy tea? It must be to hide people's eyes and ears, in order to hide his true intentions.

So what did he do at the tea shop?

Meet the contact? Passing intelligence and messages to each other?

Yes, that's how it should be!

Ning Zhiheng knew that he had found the right answer, this contact farmer must be working in a tea shop, and the location of this tea shop was either near Lu Ming's work unit, or near his residence, or on his way to and from work!

That's a lot of range! Ning Zhiheng knew that this was a lot of work, but this time none of his subordinates could use it, so he could only find it slowly by himself.

He first returned to the military intelligence department, rushed to the morgue and quietly put the set of keys back on Lu Ming's body, and then went to Wei Liangbi to ask for leave, saying that he had been solving the case some time ago, and he felt very tired and wanted to rest for two days.

Of course, Wei Liangbi nodded happily in agreement, but he didn't know anything, and he knew very well in his heart that Ning Zhiheng was going to make a move.

Or once again admonished this junior brother and said: "Zhiheng, don't work too hard, you have been looking for clues about the underground party all this time!" Our military intelligence department rarely interferes in the cases of the underground party, and you know the things inside, so I don't want to say more.

If you must want to check, it's not impossible, but those red parties are all outlaws, you have to be very careful when dealing with them, and you have to bring more people when you go out to handle cases, or that sentence, nothing is as important as your own life! ”

Only then did Ning Zhiheng know that his senior brother was very shrewd, and his heart was like a mirror. It seemed that it was difficult to hide, so I had to agree repeatedly, repeatedly promising that I would not take risks at will, and then I left Wei Liangbi's office.

Then he gave Shi Hong a few more words before hurriedly leaving the Military Intelligence Department.

He first rushed to the vicinity of Lu Ming's house, and soon found a few tea shops, and every time he went to one, he asked for one or two Longjing tea, and then saw if the tea canister given to him by the merchant was the style he wanted.

Then he tried to stay for as long as possible, and carefully observed all the people in the tea shop, but he did not find the person he was looking for.

So he followed Lu Ming's route to work, began to screen one by one, and finally saw a tea canister on the shelf in a tea shop, which was exactly the same as the style of the tea caddy in Lu Ming's home.

He was overjoyed and looked up to see that the signboard of this tea shop read the words "Bluestone Tea House".

He stepped forward unhurriedly, pretending to pick tea leaves, and said to the guy who was looking at the shop: "Man, I'll have one or two Longjing tea." ”

The young man saw Ning Zhiheng come in, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied with a courteous smile: "Haole, one or two dragon wells, sixty coppers!" ”

Ning Zhiheng looked left and right, and found that the shop was not big, and there was only this guy in it greeting him, and he didn't find the target he was looking for, so he pretended to be casual and said, "This business is okay?" ”

"Thank you! This business is okay! As he spoke, he weighed one or two tea leaves in his hand very quickly, put them into a delicate small tea can, and handed them to Ning Zhiheng.

Ning Zhiheng paid the money, and chatted with him casually, seeing that there was no more to discover, so he didn't stay long, and simply turned around and left.

He looked at the tea pot in his hand and nodded secretly, it should be here!

This farmer is now middle-aged, of course he will not be a shopkeeper, he is likely to be the shopkeeper or owner of this bluestone tea house, and now he just needs to confirm it in person!

So he found an inconspicuous corner nearby, his eyes guarded the door of the bluestone tea house, and carefully observed everyone who came in and out.

The business of this bluestone tea house is very ordinary, and there are not many customers coming in and out, and Ning Zhiheng has not found anything about it.

After about an hour, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man in a robe and dressed as a businessman, walking straight into the bluestone tea house, and the guy stepped forward and shouted: "Shopkeeper, you are back!" ”

The middle-aged man nodded, didn't speak, and walked directly into the back hall of the tea shop.

Ning Zhiheng's eyesight is excellent, and in a short glance, he can see that this middle-aged man is very similar to the farmer in the portrait, except that his clothes and temperament are a little different, the farmer in the portrait looks haggard and worried, wearing a coarse cloth clothes.

And now this middle-aged man has the usual face of a businessman, and he is also dressed in a cotton gown, and the texture is much more elegant.

However, Ning Zhiheng has already affirmed that this person is the person he is looking for, Lu Ming's online contact farmer!

Finally found it!

Xia Deyan's mood has been very anxious these days, he doesn't know why, it may be the dispute with Lu Ming and the two of them last time, he repeatedly persuaded Lu Ming not to contact his former comrades-in-arms again, the main reason is that it is too unsafe!

A contact information from a few years ago, the security cannot be guaranteed at all, the other party does not understand the situation, he does not understand why Lao Lu is so stubborn, this is not at all what a qualified underground worker should do.

Maybe it's because the comrades-in-arms around him have sacrificed too much, so Lao Lu cherishes every surviving partner very much, and the joy of the two successful contacts makes Lao Lu ignore his own safety.

Ay! This old way, all of them have been old party members for so many years, although they have rich work experience, but the flaws in their character are still difficult to change, they are not cautious enough, especially stubbornness, if they continue like this, sooner or later there will be problems!

He was really worried about Lu Ming's safety, the comradeship between the two of them for many years was like brothers, and he really didn't want to hear any accidents from Lu Ming!

This time, Lu Ming went to contact the old comrade who lost contact, and four days have passed, but he has not contacted him until now, which is a very abnormal situation!

It shouldn't be! If the contact is successful, at least Lu Ming will come back to inform him, and let the organization arrange for people to investigate and screen this old comrade who has received the contact back, which is a necessary procedure!

But it's the fourth day, and the news should be sent back anyway.

Don't? No, it won't! Lao Lu has rich experience in the struggle, after so many years, he has survived all kinds of hardships and rains, he said to himself in his heart, this time is the same, Lao Lu will come back safely!

He was restless in the room, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, his mood became more and more anxious, and he kept holding back and did not go to the unit where Lu Ming worked to inquire about the news.

He knew that if Lu Ming really had an accident, then the spy department of the Kuomintang would definitely investigate Lu Ming, and if he rashly showed up to inquire about the news and was exposed to the enemy's sight, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Although it is said that it is better to be still than to be still! Rash action will bring danger to himself, but he doesn't do anything like this, and he is not willing to wait so passively!

What should I do now? No, if there is no news tomorrow, I will have to report it to the organization and ask them to find out about the situation from other channels.

Here Ning Zhiheng confirmed the identity of the farmer, got up and observed the location and surrounding environment of the Qingshi Tea House, then stopped staying and left quickly!

Ning Zhiheng didn't think about finding the farmer directly, and handed him the news of Lu Ming's death and the wooden box left behind, because he couldn't gain the farmer's trust at all.

Moreover, he had no intention of exposing himself from the beginning, even if he was a member of the Red Party with more than ten years of party experience in his previous life, but in peacetime, he didn't have to worry about the danger of his life, and he didn't have to throw his head and spill his blood and give everything for it!

In this life, in the midst of a brutal and merciless struggle, the price of joining the revolution is extremely high! That's not just a hot head, just shouting a slogan!

He needs to be ready to sacrifice himself at any time and give all his mental preparation for the party, which is really difficult!

But his biggest wish in this life now is just to protect himself and protect the people around him through the upcoming war catastrophe in this troubled world!

To be honest, he is not ready to join the Red Party now!
