Chapter 17: The Dark Shadow in the Archives

One afternoon, when it was time to get off work, people were preparing to leave work in the Binhai City Public Security Bureau building, and Wei Jianguo, a scout from the reconnaissance department, also came out with his bag.

Wei Jianguo, 24 years old this year, from Huzhou, Zhejiang, transferred to Binhai with Tao Ran, he happened to pass by Tao Ran's office, Tao Ran stopped him, "Jianguo, it's time to get off work, is there any arrangement for the evening?" ”

Wei Jianguo smiled and said: "Director, it's not that you don't know, one, there is no object; Second, do you have any friends here? Units and bedrooms are two points and one line, don't buy things, what's the point of wandering around the road, and what are the arrangements? ”

Tao Ran said: "Go, go, I'm fine tonight, I'll take you to the beach to improve your life, I'll treat you." ”

Wei Jianguo said excitedly: "How embarrassing it is to ask you to break the bill." ”

Tao Ran smiled and said, "It's rare, go and go." ”

Wei Jianguo went downstairs with Tao Ran, got on a three-wheeled motorcycle, and drove towards the beach.

A small fishing village by the sea, with mountains and sea in the background, and an elegant environment. Therefore, a lot of food stalls were opened. Friends gatherings, young men and women dating, often come here.

Tao Ran and Wei Jianguo walked around, looked at several stores, and then, at the door of a small restaurant, Tao Ran asked, "What do you think of here?" ”

Wei Jianguo said: "Okay, the environment here is good, facing the sea, the air is good and quiet. They asked for a dish, a bottle of Shaoxing rice wine, sat opposite each other, and chatted while eating.

Tao Ran said: "Jianguo, we are in the bureau together, your work, your character, I know best." ”

Wei Jianguo said: "Here, I have no relatives or friends, and I have always regarded you as an elder brother. From now on, if my brother has anything, just ask. As long as I do something for you, I am willing to stick a knife in both sides. Ha ha. ”

Tao Ran said: "I know this, a fence with three piles, a hero with three gangs, as a person, no matter where you are, you can't do it without a close friend." You see, Wang Jin had an accident, and Li Ming became the section chief all of a sudden, isn't he getting close to Director Xiao? ”

Wei Jianguo said: "This is people's ability, do you want to say that Section Chief Li is a person, this person usually works well, it seems that sometimes he is a little nervous, more than the average person's eyes, the day before yesterday, I heard, go to find two Xiao Qi San to understand the situation, Xiao Qi San knows a." ”

Tao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Oh, what does he know about Xiao Qisan?" ”

Wei Jianguo said: "Who knows, he is like this, he goes alone, or he is afraid that people will come in and rob him of his credit." ”

Tao Ran continued: "Brother, if you want me to say, in the future, no matter whether others do things or you do things yourself, you have to have a heart. ”

Wei Jianguo said: "Anyway, I listen to you, listen to your brother, you want me to face east, I will never face west." ”

During the day, the streets of the coastal market are bustling, and there are all kinds of roadside stalls selling food, supplies, groceries, and all kinds of repairs.

At this time, Tao Ran came to a key repair stall, looked around to see if there were any acquaintances, and then, took out a piece of soap from his pocket and said to the repair staff: "Master, I am from the Public Security Bureau, I need a key, can you take a look?" He also took out his work card and showed it to the master, and then took out a piece of soap with a key mark and handed it to the locksmith.

The master took the soap, and saw that the soap had a key printed on it, and he looked at it carefully and said, "You can match it, but it will take a while, not so fast, and you won't be able to get it until the afternoon." ”

Tao Ran continued, "No problem, can I take it at noon?" ”

The master replied, "Okay, I'll try to hold on." ”

Back in the office, Tao Ran sat on a chair with his right hand supporting his head, still thinking, "Is there really nothing new in the past few days, or is Xiao Yong deliberately avoiding him?" This is a question that must be understood, and must not be careless. ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

It was Chen Qiang, the head of the telecommunications section, who came in.

"Report to the director, just now we received a short wave, the content is 'family looking for the red child', is this red child the code name of the enemy?"

Tao Ran thought: "What kind of situation is this, this situation happens almost every day. But he still said "oh" and said casually: "Does the director know?" ”

Chen Qiang said: "The director is not here, he has taken care of him many times, and he can report to you when he is not there." ”

"Oh, got it, continue to pay close attention to new developments, and report any situation immediately."

Chen Qiang said "yes", stood upright, saluted a military salute, turned to go out, and closed the door casually.

Chen Qiang's actions made Tao Ran a little uncertain, he thought: "Whether I have aroused Xiao Yong's suspicions, it doesn't look like it, a series of things that have happened in the city recently, there is no emotion at all, and it is unlikely, Xiao Yong has been indifferent, this is not his style." Are you a little nervous? You have to find out what is true and what is false. ”

At noon, Tao Ran came to the key repair booth, looked around, saw that there were indeed no acquaintances, and then said, "Master, is my key ready?" ”

The master said, "Okay." ”

The master handed the key to Tao Ran, Tao Ran paid the money, and then returned to the office.

Late at night, it was drizzling in the sky. The city public security building was pitch black, only the duty room and the telecommunications department were still lit, and the street lights in the corridors were dim.

At this time, a black shadow flashed in the bushes of the public security compound, he threw himself down, and slowly felt into the corridor of the public security building, and the black shadow touched the stairs again. When he came to the door of the archives, he naturally looked around, skillfully opened the iron door outside, opened the door inside, and then quickly closed it again.

Taking advantage of the dim light of the flashlight, the dark shadow used the key to open the door of the safe, pulling open the drawers one by one, looking for what he was looking for. In one of the drawers he found a case file with the word "top secret" written on it, and he flipped through the pages of a telegram with the words "keep an eye out for the enemy lurking within us" written on it, and he shuddered. Quickly close the case file, put it back in its place, ask for the archive room, close the door, and sneak back to the dormitory.

Tao Ran leaned back on the bed and pondered, "Pay close attention to the enemy lurking within us, do you mean me Tao Ran or does it mean something else?" He did have a feeling of being puzzled. He thought again: "Of course, the enemy is lurking inside, but if it is outside, what is the role?" He thought that this sentence seemed superfluous, anyway, I Tao Ran had no words on his forehead, thinking of this, his mood seemed to be a little lighter.
