The smell of blood floated in the humid air. Shen Yigong put away the knife and covered the body with a sheet, and then followed the sound to find it, opened the wardrobe door, and there was a secret door hidden inside.

He pulled the door open—a little boy of about three or four years old was curled up there, looking at him timidly. He said, "Are you too, daddy's friend?" ”

Shen Yigong stretched out his hand to him: "Yes, I am your father's friend." ”

He picked up the small suitcase and stepped out the door with the little boy in one hand. The child leaned on him and saw the covered place, and subconsciously shouted: "Mom......"

Shen Yigong covered his eyes and said softly, "That's not your mother." ”

A man walks in the dark corridor with a child in his arms. The sound of his footsteps echoed in the stairwell under the rain. Walking downstairs, he held up the umbrella and waited for the rain to fall on the umbrella and crackle.

The boy said that his father told him that when the bad guys were defeated, he would come back. He also said that even if his father didn't come back, Uncle Guo would come to pick him up.

Shen Yigong sent the child into the car, and when he heard this, he was stunned: "Uncle Guo? ”

"Hmm."

"Did he come here with your father?"

"Once...... the boy carefully removed Shen Yigong's hand that was covering his eyes, "Uncle, before my mother...... Keep telling me not to talk. I'm very good, I didn't say it until I heard the gunshots, and you asked me about my mother's whereabouts, and I knew you were here to help me, right? ”

Shen Yigong nodded solemnly at him.

The little boy bit his lip and raised his face pretending to be strong, but he was still young, and no matter how much he disguised it, he could not hide his sadness that was close to collapse: "You will take my parents ...... Bring it back? ”

The man said, "I try my best." ”

"You will, uncle." He raised his arm lightly and stretched out his little thumb, "My name is Xu Zhiqiang, and I live in Dongmen Lane." Shall we pull the hook, please, take my mother home. ”

Shen Yigong hooked the little boy's thin fingers with his rough fingers, and in a low voice, he read the child's promise, and he would not change if he was hooked and hung for a hundred years. The child seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, sat quietly in the car, saw Shen Yi bow forward and pat the driver on the shoulder, and admonished: "Send this child and the box to your boss Cheng." I'll visit later. ”

The driver nodded, and Shen Yigong withdrew from the car, rubbing the top of the boy's hair before leaving, and then closed the door and watched the car drive away from the alley. The boy got up in the back seat and looked at him worriedly, Shen Yigong waved at him to reassure him, and he raised his hand and raised his little thumb.

After the car left, Shen Yigong walked to the back of the building according to the memory in his mind, and in the shadow of the building, he could see something drenched in the rain. Closer to it, you can see that it is covered in broken glass shards. When he was upstairs before, Shen Yigong vaguely saw the reflective objects under the rain. If someone escapes, they will definitely leave a mark after falling from the upper floor. However, Shen Yigong didn't even find footprints, only saw traces of ropes pulling on the latches of the windows and the ceiling.

He was going to shoot at "Mrs. Xu" with the worst plan, and the other party really pulled out a gun and fought back.

Shen Yigong put the umbrella aside, squatted down and drew a knife to cut the black canvas bag. The strong smell of blood rushed towards him. The real Mrs. Xu twisted her body and curled up in the bag like this.

"I'm sorry, Xu Zhiqiang ......" Shen Yigong stretched out his hand and closed the woman's eyes, "Uncle can't take your mother home." ”

The deadliest thing on a woman's body was a shot in the temple. There are many scars on his body, which shows that he had been tortured by that woman a lot before Shen Yigong came. Speculating from the timeline, the agent arrived here about two to three hours earlier than Shen Yigong. When the mission is completed, when I hear him coming, I want to hang Mrs. Xu by the window of the dining room through ropes and canvas bags, and use gravity to knock the window open, creating the illusion that someone is fleeing.

He crouched down and held his umbrella beside the woman. He bowed deeply to the corpse before leaving.

Longhua Prison –

Xu Ruonong heard the sound of the iron lock opening outside the cell door, turned his head sideways and finally looked at the dark clouds and rain outside the narrow skylight. He sat on the cold hard stone bed, closed his eyes and tried to remember something. For example, his unfinished business, such as the comrades who fought with him, such as his wife...... his children.

He never regretted standing here, even if he would be greeted with an untried death sentence, even if the things he had done after his death were not known for a short time. But he knew it was worth it.

He died to allow more people to live in a better world.

That's enough.

The jailer opened the cell door and shouted rudely: "Xu Ruonong! Come out! ”

With a smile on his lips, the man calmly walked out of the prison door with shackles and handcuffs.

Before the morning glow tore through the darkness of the rainy night, two gunshots rang out from the execution ground of Longhua Prison.

The corpses were poured into the mud in a dreary state, and the dark red blood was washed away by the rain. It's not dawn yet.

Shen Yigong looked up at the sky as he walked to the small apartment building.

It was not yet dawn, but the rain had slowly stopped. The front door was closed, and he climbed up to the second floor along the windowsill of the exterior wall. Xiao Wei lived alone in a small rental house, the windows were closed on rainy days, Shen Yigong wrapped his clothes in his fist and broke the glass, untied the bolt and climbed in.

The sound of glass shattering didn't catch anyone. The room was quiet. Shen Yigong sighed very frustratedly, he swept over the table, and realized that he was too late again when he saw the person who had fallen there.

He walked over to Xiao Wei's corpse and examined it up and down. The body remained warm and did not die for long. There are strangulation marks on the throat and other parts of the body intact, indicating that the cause of death should be suffocation. He glanced at the table, and it was scattered, and his killer seemed to be looking for something here. Shen Yigong leaned Xiao Wei's body back on the chair, opened the drawer and rummaged through it, and his palm suddenly felt silky.

I reached in and pulled out what I touched, and it was a lady's handkerchief with lace sewn sewn on. Shen Yigong glanced at Xiao Wei's corpse and held the handkerchief close to his nose. There is a very strong smell of a woman's perfume.

Shen Yigong is unlikely to go to women's products most of the time, except for the early years when he met You Yiman, he may have been in contact with it more frequently. Even if there are modern women like Mu Qiuping around, it is too difficult for him to distinguish women's perfumes out of thin air. But this is also one of the clues, Mr. Xu told him that a woman suspected of being an agent had been in contact with him before the accident, and this handkerchief may be one of the evidence.

He was thinking about sorting out everything that had happened tonight when he heard a commotion outside. Shen Yigong subconsciously pushed the drawer up and put the handkerchief into his arms.

The chaotic footsteps outside the house were getting closer and closer, Shen Yigong looked at the corpse next to the desk and the water stains left by himself, and suddenly thought of "Guo Feng" and the "red team" in his mouth.

If he is a traitor, what is the best way to get rid of suspicion?

Create one, or more, traitors out of thin air to cover up their crimes.

- "Hurry up and open the door!" If there are three long and two short people inside, you apartment managers can't escape it! ”

Guo Feng's voice came from outside the door. He scolded the apartment manager, who was still sleepy-eyed in a vest, while staring eagerly at the keyhole. The members of the group behind him were also wearing black raincoats and standing there with gloomy faces.

As soon as the door opened, a group of people drew their guns and swarmed in. Guo Feng rushed to Xiao Wei's side as soon as possible, turned his head, saw that the window was wide open, and the table was in a mess, and he scolded: "I said a long time ago, after this kid is controlled by the spies, people's plans are successful, and they will kill him!" Okay now, that guy must have gotten the information left by Lao Xu. ”

He looked back and forth at the window, his gloved hand brushing the footprints on the edge of the window: "Look at it, it's still so new, and you can see that people have just run away." Look at what you bunch of shit can do! It's been two months since I left the meeting, and I'll see how you can explain it to the organization! ”

He slammed the door in a rage, leaving a group of members looking at each other. Shen Yigong stood outside the eaves of the corridor and grabbed the window edge of the upper floor with both hands, this apartment is an imitation of European-style architecture, each house has a bay window, and there are just a lot of places that can be stepped on. He heard the sound of the door closing, and strode over to the side balcony, and then returned to the surface stealthily and quickly in the direction he had just climbed.

By the time he returned to his home, the sky was faintly white. Shen Yigong passed by the communication room, and the administrator was dozing off on the chair with his arms crossed, and he didn't react until he walked upstairs.

He took the key, opened the door and entered the house, and as soon as the door closed, he heard Mu Qiuping's voice from the sofa in a daze: "You are finally back." ”

She had been sitting there waiting for him, with a mountain of cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table. Shen Yigong took off his wet coat and swept her tired face: "I'm back." ”

"You didn't get hurt anymore, did you?"

Mu Qiuping leaned over and asked nervously. Shen Yigong waved his hand: "Not this time." By the way, I'd like to ask you to smell this. ”

He took out the handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Mu Qiuping. The woman took it and sniffed it, looking surprised.

"This is the 'first love' of the perfume produced by the American Dilio! It's so expensive, it was released two months ago in New York, and only the high-end beauty shops on the Bund here in Shanghai have one or two bottles. I tried it when I went shopping with my rich wife, and it was very expensive! Mu Qiuping said strangely, "Where did you get such a handkerchief from a rich family?" ”

It was only released in New York two months ago, and the rich daughter ...... Shen Yigong sank his face and thought carefully. It seems that Mu Qiuping has helped a little, and he quickly thanked: "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I really don't know what perfume is." Thank you today, you hurry up and rest, my affairs are almost done, you don't have to worry about me anymore. ”

Mu Qiuping watched Shen Yigong take back the handkerchief, hugged his shoulders and looked at him: "Is it really not necessary?" It's all settled tonight? ”

Shen Yigong tried not to make his tone sound perfunctory or deceitful, reached out and stroked her shoulder and nodded, "Don't worry, you really don't have to worry anymore." It's all settled tonight. ”

Mu Qiuping looked at his eyes, her eyes were depressed and she didn't know how much to believe, and after a while, she raised her hand and rubbed Shen Yigong's wet hair, and whispered: "You, didn't you take an umbrella out?" Why is it still drenched like this? I'll go and make you some ginger syrup to drink, don't catch a cold. ”

Shen Yigong avoided her palm with some embarrassment, saw that she took a step back to go to the kitchen, and after thinking about it, he still stopped her: "Qiuping." ”

The woman stopped by the kitchen to listen to him.

Shen Yigong sighed: "You don't have to do so much for me. ”

Mu Qiuping bit his lip, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and then smiled, glanced at him and said with a demeanor: "Less smelly and beautiful." I'm just watching you do great things and help you. Future...... I'll wait for you to pay me back in the future. ”
