Red Star 3rd Troupe.

Li Weidong never thought that when he found this side according to the address on the information, he found that the sign hanging at the door turned out to be the residence of a repertory troupe.

In fact, this is a very common thing nowadays.

Because of the shortage of houses, many departments were set up, and after coordination, many departments found their own way out.

As a result, some of the vast royal palaces and large courtyard houses have basically become the stations and office locations of various units.

After all, these houses already belong to the public, so they can't be left unused, right?

Those courtyard houses that were taken out for ordinary citizens to live in belonged to the leftovers.

And like the courtyard in front of me, because of the good geographical location, the building is perfect, and there is no damage, so it is used to distribute to some units.

This is the case with the Red Star Third Drama Troupe.

Li Weidong has read the information, this courtyard was the official residence of a three-rank military general in the late Ming Dynasty, and according to the regulations of the meeting, the maximum size of the house where the third-grade master lived was five halls and seven frames.

The five rooms and seven shelves here do not refer to a total of five houses, but to a type of hall.

And a set of courtyard houses, in addition to the hall and the main entrance, there is also a backyard.

So strictly speaking, a few rooms and a few frames are just a specification of the card, which does not mean that the house has several entrances, and it is also a courtyard house with five rooms and seven frames, which can be three or four.

Because this house is well preserved, even in the Qing Dynasty, it was still used as a mansion for the great staff, and it was not demolished and rebuilt, but only partially changed.

Li Weidong looked at the sign hanging at the door, and a 'irrelevant' memory appeared in his mind.

The reason why I say inconsequential is because these are two inconsequential cases, at least on the surface.

Previously, when Li Weidong was investigating the case of Tan Sipei's 'suicide', he learned a news from his secretary that Tan Sipei had mentioned a new drama in the paragraph before his 'suicide'.

But before he could see it, he was already dead.

According to Secretary Tan Sipei's recollection, the other party had never gone to see a drama before, so he felt a little abrupt.

Based on this anomaly, Li Weidong also let him investigate, but in the end, it was not done.

He even imagined the meaning of that drama, but in fact, in the later case solving, the clues related to the drama were not used, and became a useless clue, and all the previous investigations were useless.

But no matter what, the suicide case of Tan Sipei was finally solved, and all the people behind the scenes and the murderer were arrested, which can be described as a complete victory.

It is precisely because of this that even Li Weidong has forgotten about the somewhat abnormal clues that have appeared.

Just as if it was talking about Sipei, I was interested by chance.

Until today, with the pursuit of Mei Chuqing, this courtyard was finally locked, and looking at the name of the Red Star Third Troupe at the door, this memory that had been gradually buried resurfaced.

Is it a coincidence?

Li Weidong thinks not.

It is very likely that Tan Sipei had already noticed something at that time, so he secretly revealed a trace of the content to the secretary next to him, as for why he didn't explain the situation in detail, I'm afraid only he knows.

Maybe it's a bitterness, maybe it's something else.

But looking at Sipei's experience, it is not unusual for him to know Gui Shaoning, and he may even know Mei Chuqing.

It's a pity that he has been dead for three years, and what he left behind has not revealed a word here.

Now Li Weidong's conjecture is only based on the sudden flooding of memories, which belongs to his own judgment, and cannot confirm anything.

Perhaps, only after catching Mei Chuqing can we get a glimpse of some of the truth of the year.

and, the secrets hidden in this courtyard.

"The branch of the third troupe of Shanghai Red Star Repertory Troupe?"

Zhen Jingting stood beside Li Weidong and whispered the small words next to him.

"Mei Chuqing will hide here?"

Then, Zhen Jingting frowned and looked at Li Weidong with doubts.

This is not a private house, and it is not ordinarily difficult for Mei Chuqing to blend in.

"Just check it out."

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he walked towards the gate.

This courtyard house is well preserved, and the row corresponding to the door of the house is an inverted house, which can basically be regarded as a south house.

Like the courtyard house where Li Weidong currently lives, there is also an upside-down house, but there is no window on the side of the street, and it is dark and damp inside, and it is also dilapidated, and it is impossible to live in it at all, so the upside-down house over there has basically become a warehouse for each family to store unused objects.

However, the inverted house in front of this courtyard has obviously been rectified, and the row by the street has all opened windows and installed glass, but the windows are relatively high, and the toes are just flush with the lower edge of the window, and it is not big, at most it plays a role of ventilation and light.

Entering the door of the house, a small door was opened next to it, and a stiff little old man inside suddenly cast a vigilant gaze.

"What are you two doing? Don't see the sign at the door? This is a public unit, so you can't just enter it. ”

The little old man wisely distinguished the identities of Li Weidong and Zhen Jingting.

Especially Li Weidong in front, Mao has just grown up, and the man in the back is even more obscene, he has seen a lot of such people.

Who is the most in the troupe?

There are many girls with good looks and outstanding figures.

Usually the little bastards around him have come to this side, and he has been taught more by his neck and hands.

It's just that it's the first time I've seen this pair in front of me, and it looks a little unfamiliar, probably because I haven't been taught a lesson, so I swagger and want to get in.

But he can't hide his sharp eyes.

"Here's my work card."

Zhen Jingting in the back took out his documents.

The little old man's eyes widened suddenly, and then he took it and opened it in disbelief, looking at the department written on it, as well as the photos pasted, and the obscene man he judged before, right and right, until the other party's face showed impatience and woke up.

"Ah, Director Zhen, hello, is there anything you can do?"

The little old man held the certificate in both hands and returned it to Zhen Jingting.

The idiom of "front and back" was vividly interpreted by him.

Although the slogan of equality for all has been shouted again and again, and the people have begun to be the masters of their own affairs, this does not include the little old man.

The little old man's name is Xu Liu, his former nickname was Xiao Liuzi, and later he was called Liuye, and now he has become Lao Liu.

He went from being a street boy to now looking at the gate.

At his age, he happened to experience the era of violent collisions, and it can be said that he has seen all kinds of things in the world a long time ago.

For those troublemakers on the street, he is naturally the sixth master.

In the group, those young people called him the sixth master.

But in front of the leader, it is either Lao Xu or Lao Liu.

So he has long been accustomed to a variety of different identities.

After knowing Zhen Jingting's identity, the former sixth master had to admit that he was clumsy, mainly because this so-called big director actually followed behind a young man, looking like an entourage, who would have thought of this?

As for saying that the young man in front of him was higher than Zhen Jingting, he didn't think about it at all.

"Have you ever seen this person?"

Zhen Jingting took out a portrait, on which was Mei Chuqing.

Xu Liu's eyes widened and looked at the portrait seriously.

"It's a little familiar, like I've seen it somewhere."

"Take a good look at it, this person is very important to us, if you don't cooperate honestly......"

Zhen Jingting accentuated his tone a little.

He has seen a lot of people like Xu Liu, and he naturally can't use conventional means to treat this kind of person.

We must not be weak.

Otherwise, in the eyes of the other party, it is a sign of your weak heart, and even if you have clues, you will not cooperate well.

To put it bluntly, it is a typical bullying of the soft and afraid of the hard, kicking the nose in the face.

So the more you don't give a good face, the more the other party will obediently cooperate.

What is known to be emotionally reasonable, it is completely inappropriate to put it on this kind of person.

Xu Liu was so frightened that he was scared, when he was messing around on the street, he was cleaned up, so he knew very well what Zhen Jingting's unfinished words meant.

Now this job of guarding the gate is also his dead face, plus he asked a former younger brother to get it, not to mention anything else, at least he can eat well, and he can be regarded as a serious job.

If he is targeted by a big man like Zhen Jingting, his former little brother can't help him, and it is estimated that he will be sold backhanded.

So Xu Liu looked at the portrait in front of him and tried very hard to recall.

Although he is a little older and often sleepy when he goes to work, he should have seen the woman in this portrait in front of him recently, so he still has some impressions.

"Director Zhen, I remember, this person seems to be a colleague from Shanghai, who was transferred to work here, and I just came to report some time ago, but I haven't seen her for a while, so I seem to be busy looking for a place."

Xu Liu finally remembered.

"What's her name?"

Zhen Jingting continued to ask.

He didn't expect that Mei Chuqing would really come here and have a new identity.

Especially now that it is inconvenient to contact, if Mei Chuqing really gets a set of identities on the Shanghai side and then transfers it here, in a short period of time, or if no one specifically checks her, it will not necessarily be exposed, which is enough for her to successfully settle down here.

After all, Mei Chuqing has the endorsement of the troupe in Shanghai, and the identity information and letter of introduction are all true.

And why she was able to get this identity also shows that there are people from the other party in the Red Star Troupe on the Shanghai side.

In this way, although Mei Chuqing is a strange face, she will not be suspected.

As for the reason why she didn't go to work recently, Li Weidong could also guess the reason, and the other party was busy tracking down the cause of Gui Shaoning's death and clearing the loopholes left before.

And she lived with the old couple before, which was also temporary, I am afraid that in her opinion, after killing Li Weidong and taking revenge, she will return here and officially live in this new identity.

"I don't know."

Xu Liu paused and said, "But this colleague is the instructor from Shanghai's side." ”

"Well, did she come to work today?"

Zhen Jingting asked again, but in fact, he didn't have much hope, if the other party came over this morning, it would be impossible for the other party not to recognize him at first.

"No, she hasn't been here since the last time she reported for duty, and I don't know what happened, but she is a teacher from the Shanghai General Regiment, and no one can care about it except the head of the group."

"Now take us to your captain."

"Okay, you two come with me."

When Xu Liuyi heard this, he immediately came out of the duty room, and he didn't care about guarding the door, and led the two of them all the way across the main door behind the inverted room.

Behind the main gate, there is a wide courtyard, which is very clean, and there is a tall plane tree in the courtyard, the canopy of which covers almost half of the yard, and between the branches and leaves, you can faintly see the flower bones.

At this time, there were still people in the courtyard who were talking together, and when they saw Xu Liu hurriedly leading the two people in, they couldn't help but cast curious glances, and then watched the three of them come all the way to the door of the regiment leader's office.

"Head Tian, someone is looking for you."

Xu Liu knocked on the door and said respectfully.

Although this is only the third branch of the Red Star Troupe, which belongs to the sub-troupe, there are many departments that should be there.

Behind the desk, there was a chubby figure with a warm smile on his face.

Looking at the age, he should be about forty years old, wearing a gray Mao suit, the neckline is tied upright, there is a red five-pointed star on the chest, in the pocket next to it, there is a fountain pen, and a Shanghai brand watch on the wrist, which is a very typical dress.

"You are ......"

Tian Lixing didn't sit there arrogantly, with his understanding of Xu Laoliu, if the two people in front of him were ordinary people, they would not have been led to him at all.

So he got up and came out from behind the desk, looking at Zhen Jingting and Li Weidong with some doubts.

Don't look at his position as the head of the regiment, but this head of the regiment is not comparable to some regiment commanders.

In this courtyard, in this acre and three points of land, although he has the right to speak, as long as he goes out of this door, it is nothing.

And his level is only at the department level.

Even though the rank is there, even if the officer of the street office comes, he has to accompany him personally.

Who made them a troupe like this, influential?

Even if there is a performance in normal times, it can only go to the people's stage to perform, and it is not comparable with those departments that hang on to the general department.

"Head Tian, hello, this is my work card, this time I came here to trouble you to cooperate with the investigation of something."

This time, it was still Zhen Jingting who came forward.

It's not that Investigator Li Weidong's credentials are not good, the current Li Weidong is a third-level investigator, and his level in the Investigation Bureau is the same as Zhen Jingting.

But it's still that problem, Li Weidong is too young.

There is some truth in the saying that there is no hair on the mouth and the sentence is not firm in handling things for so many years.

If Li Weidong takes out his documents, the other party will even be suspicious, and it will be a bit overkill.

In comparison, it is more convenient for Zhen Jingting to come forward and use his identity to investigate the case, and at the same time, it is more deterrent.

Because different departments are responsible for different things.

Tian Lixing had just taken Zhen Jingting's certificate, but before he could open it, his heart trembled after hearing the other party's words.

Cooperate with the investigation?

It's not like the average person can say it.

Thinking in his heart, he had already opened the document, and the red font was so dazzling at the moment, like a knife, stabbing directly into Tian Lixing's heart, making his heart leak for a beat.

Depending on the position, the angle from which the problem is viewed will also be different.

Compared with Xu Liu, who was just a janitor and hearsay, he knew more clearly what the thin document in his hand represented.

So much so that his arms were a little bent.
