Military Command Shanghai Station, Intelligence Department 1 Section.

Li Xianjie looked at the several documents in his hand and said, "Zhang Cheng, Sun Yi, Tao Jiaping...... Is this their real name? ”

Jiang Yukun: "They are all pseudonyms, and they are ostensibly workers at the Yangpu Waterworks, responsible for the work of the water filter. ”

"That's all?"

“…… That's all for now. ”

"Tuk Tuk!" There was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Li Xianjie casually threw the information on the table.

A spy hurriedly walked in and said, "Deputy Director Li, the gate guard Li Jinbao said that there is a situation to report." ”

Li Xianjie: "What about others? ”

"Right outside the door."

"Let him in."

The spy turned around and walked out, and after a while, Li Jinbao was brought in.

Li Xianjie glanced at the bandage wrapped around his arm and said, "Injured?" ”

Li Jinbao stood up and saluted and said, "Report Deputy Director Li, it's just a skin injury, it doesn't matter." ”

Li Xianjie: "What do you have to say?" ”

Li Jinbao: "I heard that Communist Party of China muttering two words before he died. ”

"Which Communists?"

"The one who stabbed himself to death with a knife."

"What is he saying?"

"Run, run, just repeat it, I don't know what it means."

"Escape? Are you sure he said those two words? ”

"I was standing closest to him, and I heard these two words very clearly."

"Anything else?"

"Nope."

"You go down first, if his true identity is found out because of this clue, I will apply for a bounty for you."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Li!" Li Jinbao turned and withdrew.

Li Xianjie thought for a while and asked, "Xiao Jiang, the person he said is called Tao Jiaping, right?" ”

Jiang Yunkun: "Yes. ”

Li Xianjie thought for a while and said, "Where does Tao Jiaping live?" ”

Jiang Yukun: "The three communists all live in the area of Pingliang Road, and Tao Jiaping lives in Zhoutangbang Village. ”

Li Xianjie stood up and said, "Immediately send someone to search the residences of Zhang Cheng and Sun Yi." You take two people and come with me to Zhoutangbang Village! ”

Jiang Yukun: "Yes." ”

An hour later, Li Xianjie's car came to Zhoutangbang Village.

There were more than a dozen children chasing and playing at the entrance of the village, and when they saw a car parked beside them, they all gathered around curiously.

This is an authentic slum, not to mention cars, even mule and horse carts are rarely seen.

Li Xianjie rolled down the window and said, "Children, who of you knows where the chief of the security guard lives?" ”

A boy of about ten years old said loudly, "I know! ”

With that, he ran towards the village.

Li Xianjie instructed the driver and said, "Keep up with this kid,"

The village road is full of potholes, very bumpy and difficult to walk, and the car is moving slowly.

The rest of the children screamed and chased after the car, and one of them, a little girl of six or seven years old, was too young to fall behind, and after falling down a few times, she finally began to cry, crying and shouting: "Brother, wait for me." ”

A boy running in front of him stopped, looking to be in his teens at most, but he put on an expression of a little adult, and scolded loudly: "What are you in a hurry, just follow behind and walk slowly!" ”

The little girl wiped her tears and said, "My hand is broken and it hurts." ”

Another boy turned around and shouted, "Lele, hurry up, the car is going to run away!" ”

The window of the car was open, and Li Xianjie couldn't help but move when he heard the word 'Lele'.

The child's name reminded him that the 'escape' that Tao Jiaping chanted before he died was likely to be 'Taotao' or 'Tao Tao'! That should be a person's name! It could be his woman, or it could be his child!

When a person is dying, when his consciousness gradually fades, the person he misses the most must be the person closest to him!

The child in front of him stopped at a courtyard gate, pointed to a red lacquered wooden door, and said, "This is it." ”

The car stopped, Li Xianjie got out of the car, and ordered: "Go and call the security chief out." ”

Jiang Yukun came to the courtyard gate, the wooden door was not locked, he directly pushed the door and walked in.

A few minutes later, a man about fifty years old wearing a melon skin hat followed Jiang Yukun out of the courtyard with his body slumped.

Jiang Yukun: "Deputy Director Li, he is the chief of the village." ”

Li Xianjie glanced at the chief of the security guard a few times and said, "What do you call it?" ”

The chief nodded and said, "The little surname is Wang, and he is the chief of Zhoutangbang Village. ”

Li Xianjie: "Where does Tao Jiaping live?" ”

Wang Baochang: "Tao Jiaping? Oh, you're talking about the stranger, who lives in the third house in the east of the village......"

Li Xianjie: "Lead the way!" ”

Wang Baochang: "Yes, sir, you come with me!" ”

The road to the inside is so narrow that it is impassable for cars, so you have to walk to get there. Fortunately, it is not very far, and it takes ten minutes to walk.

Tao Jiaping's apartment was very dilapidated, with three rooms and a rusty lock hanging from the door.

Jiang Yukun picked up a stone and smashed it hard, 'Dangchang! With a thud, the lock fell to the ground.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the three rooms as having four walls, the walls of the bedrooms are pasted with discarded newspapers, and the other rooms are surrounded by bare bricks.

"Search!" Li Xianjie waved his hand, and several spies immediately rummaged around the house, hoping to find some clues.

Wang Baochang cautiously asked, "Sir, what crime did Tao Jiaping commit?" ”

Li Xianjie: "Kill!" ”

Wang Baochang was taken aback and said: "I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, seeing that he looks honest and loyal, he dares to kill people......"

Li Xianjie looked around in the bedroom and asked casually, "When did he move to the village?" ”

Wang Baochang thought for a while and said, "It was probably around May last year. ”

"Isn't there anyone else in his house?"

"When Tao Jiaping first came, he said that he had fled from Henan, and there was no one in his family. This house is a village property, and I think he is pitiful, so I let him live here and pay a little rent every month. ”

Li Xianjie stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall and said, "If he doesn't rent it, I'm afraid this house will be abandoned, right?" ”

Wang Baochang smiled awkwardly: "10,000 yuan rent, very cheap ......"

The agents searched the entire house, but unsurprisingly found nothing, and found no valuable clues.

Li Xianjie bent down and picked up a piece of paper on the ground, on which was a little girl with pigtails drawn, although the drawing skills were very rough, but it could be seen that the person who drew was very attentive, and each stroke was repeatedly modified.

"Where did this come from?" Li Xianjie asked.

Jiang Yukun: "Oh, this is turned out from under the pillow, it may have been scribbled by Tao Jiaping when he was bored." ”

Li Xianjie: "When you are bored, do you draw a child very seriously?" ”

Jiang Yukun opened his mouth and stammered: "......"

Li Xianjie: "Chief Wang, Tao Jiaping has lived in the village for almost a year, and no one has ever looked for him?" ”

Wang Baochang: "There is a person named Zhang Cheng who often comes to him, saying that he is a worker at the waterworks"

"No one else has come to him?"

"Nope! …… At least I haven't seen it. ”

"Where does he usually go?"

"I don't know, he ...... Maybe I go to the big temple more often. ”

"The Great Temple?"

"It's the City God Temple."

"How do you know he's going to the City God Temple?"

"The temple is very lively, it's not too far from here, and I go there often. I met him there once at the beginning of the year, and he said he was just hanging out. ”
