Xiao Yi followed Geng Chaozhong out of the gate of the Party Affairs Investigation Section, Jin Huajin and they were still waiting outside, and when they saw Geng Chaozhong coming out, they took a few steps to greet them - several people got the ocean, and it was when they had a good impression of Geng Chaozhong, they clamored:

"Boss, let's eat together! I've heard a lot of you old and small, and you drink with you! ”

"Go yourselves! Xiao Yi was a little uncomfortable, so I took him to the hospital to have a look. Geng Chaozhong smiled and waved his hand, sent a few Jinhua brocades, and led Xiao Yi all the way east along Longshan Road in the praise of "loving soldiers like children".

"Xiao Yi, I haven't asked you what your name is."

"My name is Yi Bao." Xiao Yi still lowered his head, not daring to look at Geng Chaozhong's eyes.

"I don't want to ask you how you see it. You're a smart guy and you'd rather die than snitch, and I'm telling you, you're right. Geng Chaozhong sighed.

Xiao Yi was silent.

"Are you seventeen or eighteen?" Geng Chaozhong smiled and didn't care.

"Nineteen."

"It looks very young, you came here with Wang Yongzhang?" Geng Chaozhong said that there was no match.

"Yes, at that time, Captain Wang, no, that traitor, came over, we usually listen to him, and we all came."

"Let's call Captain Wang! I can't forgive him, but I can understand him. You know what I mean? ”

"Yes, Captain Geng, I didn't kill anyone, I was young, I did it with them, I was also a janitor in the Wang Mansion, and I didn't know what they were doing upstairs. Captain Geng, I'm telling the truth, I'm definitely not lying to you. ”

Xiao Yi's face began to return to normal, and his speech gradually became smoother.

Geng Chaozhong patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder - he needed to let Xiao Yi gradually get used to contact with him, which could effectively increase Xiao Yi's trust and dependence on him.

"You don't understand, in fact, what I want to tell you is that I am not from the CCP."

"Huh?" Xiao Yi raised his head, obviously a little incredulous.

"I don't have to lie to you," Geng Chaozhong's face showed a painful expression, "I didn't kill Wang Yongzhang because he was a member of the government, a member of the Red Party, or a traitor or anything. I killed him only because he killed my loved ones. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, looking a little convinced, after all, the "two kings" killed too many people, and there were many enemies, so it was normal to say that it was not the Red Party.

Geng Chaozhong thought very clearly. Since Xiao Yi can't be killed at this stage, then he must be stabilized, so that even if Xiao Yi is arrested, his confession will be beneficial to himself - in fact, Geng Chaozhong is very suspicious of Liu Yiban's motivation to find out the real murderer - for a traitor who has defected to Cheng, the Party Affairs Investigation Department is not interested.

The two walked along Longshan Road all the way to the east, the more they walked, the more desolate they became, the fewer people and buildings there were, and Xiao Yi's face became whiter and whiter, and then they simply squatted on the ground and never walked again.

"You, you're too careful, aren't you? I'm taking you to Cuifeng Building to eat dumplings and be shocked, and it's a few steps away! Geng Chaozhong threw another sweet date to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled, stood up and followed Geng Chaozhong for a few more steps, and sure enough, it didn't take long to see a two-story Chinese-style building standing at the end of Longshan Road, and there was a banner hanging on the eaves, with the words "Cuifeng Building" written on it.

Further east, there is a barren beach and an endless sea.

Geng Chaozhong has been to this place, half a year ago, when he came all the way from Hebei, he got off the train from Sifang Railway Station with a roll of luggage, and then came all the way south here.

"When I first came from Hebei, I passed by this dumpling restaurant, there were only more than 40 coppers on my body, and I was so hungry that I didn't go in for a long time outside the dumpling restaurant, for fear that I would not have a meal after eating this meal. Later, the proprietress came out and gave me a bowl of dumplings, and told me: There will be no seeds, and the beggar will still be the emperor. When I heard it, my tears flowed down my eyes. Today, in fact, I came to repay a wish. “

Geng Chaozhong sighed as he walked towards the dumpling restaurant.

"Captain Geng was also poor?"

Xiao Yi was aroused by Geng Chaozhong's curiosity and couldn't help asking.

"Nonsense, if I wasn't poor, I could be the captain of this operation?"

Geng Chaozhong scolded with a smile.

Xiao Yi also smiled embarrassedly.

"I went to the United States and heard people there say that you can be born poor, but you can't be born low. This person is not afraid of poverty, but he is afraid of not having the ability!" Geng Chaozhong touched Xiao Yi with his shoulder and asked, "Hey, I said Xiao Yi, what are you capable of?" ”

"I don't have any skills, I just have a dog nose." Xiao Yi lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Dognose?" Geng Chaozhong was a little puzzled.

"It's someone who smells it once, and you can know who it is without looking at it the second time." Xiao Yi said worriedly.

Geng Chaozhong's eyes lit up, this is a psychic hound!

No wonder if you pretend to be so like, you will be seen to be flawed, this guy doesn't use his eyes at all, he smells it with his nose!

It's been a long time!

"Hey, why didn't you tell Ding Weizun about this ability?" Geng Chaozhong blinked, and asked with sparkling eyes.

"I think it's a shame, only my parents know about this since I was a child, they told me not to tell others, saying that it is useless and unpleasant to have a dog nose, and I can't marry a daughter-in-law when I grow up." Xiao Yi said embarrassedly.

Geng Chaozhong laughed.

At that time, scolding people with dog words, and besides, the sensitive sense of smell was really useless in the Republic of China, so Geng Chaozhong's approach to Yi Bao's parents was very understandable.

While talking, the dumpling restaurant arrived, Geng Chaozhong lifted the bamboo curtain and walked in with Xiao Yi. It was noon, and there were already quite a few guests inside.

This two-story building is very simple, basically a board house made of wood, and the people who eat in it are all coolies and fishermen from the wharf and the Sifang railway station, and they eat the cheapest seafood dumplings.

But for Geng Chaozhong, this is infinitely delicious.

You must know that in later generations, this raw seafood is very expensive, but in the Republic of China, the price of seafood is far less than that of cattle, sheep and pork, but the poor people eat more. Geng Chaozhong still remembers an Internet joke, in the xx years, the fishermen by Yangcheng Lake were so hungry that they could only use hairy crabs to satisfy their hunger, which is a fact.

"Boss, I'm back looking for you!"

As soon as he entered the door, Geng Chaozhong shouted inside.

After a while, an aunt with a round face, round eyes, round arms and round legs walked out, and when she saw Geng Chaozhong, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then said:

"I don't know you anymore! But I think I've seen it! Are you here to pay it back?! ”

Geng Chaozhong was also stunned, and then took out a piece of ocean from his arms and slapped it on the table:

"That's right, I borrowed you a piece of the ocean half a year ago, and I will pay it back today, and then I will have two catties of mackerel dumplings, and I will pay for the meal!"
