"Between July and October last year, you corresponded many times with a teacher Chen from overseas. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWho is this Mr. Chen? The lieutenant asked suddenly.

"It's a friend I met online. I've helped him develop programs before. I replied.

He looked at the information in his hand, "Three years ago, this Teacher Chen once remitted five thousand dollars of foreign exchange to you at one time?" ”

"That's the labor fee I paid him to develop the program at the time."

"What complex procedure is worth five thousand dollars in labor costs? And why pay in dollars instead of yuan? ”

So I told him the ins and outs of the $5,000. He looked at me suspiciously, as if he couldn't believe what I was saying.

"Any questions?" I asked.

"Yes. If he is preparing to go abroad and needs dollars in his hand, how can he give you the remaining dollars in his hand? Did he take the yuan away? ”

I don't think there's anything unreasonable about that. "Maybe he exchanged the rest of the money?"

He did not comment. That's the end of the day's inquiry.

After returning to the house, I remembered Mr. Chen's suspicious emails, and my heart began to feel weak and afraid. Is there really a problem with that Teacher Chen?

The next day, Luxue reappears in the conversation room. She propped her forehead with both hands, and her face was gloomy. "Huaiyu, do you know what Mr. Chen who gave you dollars does?"

I shook my head.

"You've never thought of it?"

I looked at her gloomy eyes and felt a chill in my heart. "That Teacher Chen, has a problem?"

"The so-called Teacher Chen is not a teacher at all, but a professional spy hired by a foreign spy organization, codenamed CI. He has been in the service of the spy organization for fifteen years. ”

"Huh?" I was like five thunderbolts, "I ...... three years ago"

"He left the country 20 years ago. Because he was wanted, he never came back. Everything he describes you is fiction. Including his identity and those programming tasks. ”

"But what was his purpose in doing this?"

"It's about finding a programming genius like you and investing emotionally in advance. In this way, once these people enter the military and civilian high-tech fields in the future, it will be easier to extract the information they need from these people. Huaiyu, you don't want to think, as a middle school student, what kind of program is worth the five thousand dollars he pays you? And how could you be unaware of his motives after having been in a relationship with him for so long? ”

"How did I come up with that? He only started contacting me last summer. The discussion is also about ordinary issues. It was only the model he asked me about in October that struck me as a little suspicious. ”

"Then why didn't you report it then? I've been to you twice. Why don't you say it? If you had said it at the time, everything would have been undone. ”

I'm speechless. It's not that I don't have the opportunity to do so, and the words are already on my lips, but I just haven't said them.

"You have no idea how serious the problem is. Whether or not the CI has obtained valuable information from you, it is an indisputable fact that you received money from a spy. Huaiyu, this time you are in trouble! ”

My heart went cold to the bottom. "Lu Xue, can't you help me hide it?"

"Concealment? Do you think I found this information? You're dealing with one of the world's largest security agencies. There is nothing to hide. including privacy between us. ”

"Sister," I asked, "what will you do with me?" ”

"It depends on whether or not your communication with the CI is actually harmful. All you can do now is to fully cooperate with the investigation and find opportunities to make amends and minimize the losses. With tears in her eyes, she said, "I shouldn't have brought you into this circle in the first place." You're simply not suited to secrecy. I hurt you. ”

I was silent.

After a while, she said, "You know what? I'm pregnant. ”

I stared blankly at her. The news was like striking a match in the midst of a raging storm. It couldn't have come at a better time. "Then," I asked, "can you keep this child?" ”

"How to stay?" She asked rhetorically.

"It's going to cost you ...... military position"

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as losing your military position now." She said.

"Then we'll get married now."

"Married? You say it lightly. How old are you this year? Are you twenty-two years old? You're still in control. How do we get married? ”

"Sister, I'm sorry!"

"What's the use of saying that now?" She looked at me with tears in her eyes, "Because of our relationship, from now until the end of the investigation, we can't see each other again." I'm also going to be investigated. Remember what I say and what I say. If not, don't talk nonsense. Don't bite. ”

It was cold in the house. I tried to restrain myself, but the despair of being abandoned had already set in, and my hands were shaking.

Ruxue grabbed my hand and held it between her own. "Don't be afraid. Are you convinced that you don't know the identity of the CI, and that you haven't divulged any relevant military secrets, and that you haven't done anything detrimental to the country? Stick to these points, and you'll be fine. We must believe in the party and the organization. ”

Yet I didn't derive the slightest courage from her words. Because the battle hero in front of her, the soldier who crawled out of the line of death, her hands were also wet and trembling.

That night I was transferred to another room and the guards were more strict. I couldn't sleep thinking about the slim future and the little life in Luxue's womb that I might never have a chance to see. But is this my fault alone?

The interrogators had also changed, and they weren't as good-tempered as the previous two. The interrogation began with a transcript of the investigation, but was more detailed, harsh, and longer.

Regarding Mr. Chen, I insisted that I never knew his true identity, and that I had not accepted any of his projects or done any paid services for him. But this is clearly not satisfactory to them.

"Three years ago, in May, you flew a 4A aircraft near a military airfield to shoot."

"I didn't fly into the restricted area of the airport."

"That's because your actions were discovered and your craft confiscated before you flew into the restricted area."

"There was another person who watched your flight the whole time. Afterwards, I also helped you get back the aerial photography equipment through personal relations. ”

"That's not it!" I deny it. In their mouths, how could this have come to be?

"In July of this year, you were suspected of collaborating with someone with the same online name Pangolin to post unfavorable information on the Internet, causing the stock price to fluctuate abnormally. Later, he was exempted from prosecution on the grounds that the circumstances were minor. ”

They!
