Jin Li took a puff of his cigarette, paused, and continued, "I'm not trying to catch anyone, I'm trying to help the soldiers who are also short of food."

"You are thinking about your villagers and disregarding your own safety. The same goes for me when I accept this mission."

When Zhang Shengli heard this, he let out a long breath and continued to listen quietly.

"The source of such a large amount of grain is very important. It is hard to find any region in the country where someone could privately produce so much grain and sell it. At least we cannot find this clue. But no matter where it comes from, we also hope to get the grain to tide us over the difficulties."

"So, I'll ask again, can you tell me who you made the deal with?"

Jin Li seemed calm, but his sharp eyes never left the person opposite him.

Suddenly, he looked out the window and said quietly, "The people from Kaoshantun only traded with the other party once, and they were never found again. And you were able to easily contact the other party to buy food more than once, so there must be a more unusual reason."

He seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes shifted back to the person in front of him.

At this time, Zhang Shengli held the cigarette between two fingers and put his hand on the table. He didn't look up at Jin Li, but just stared at the cigarette in his hand.

After about two minutes, he seemed to have made up his mind, his lips moved, and he finally spoke.

"Well, if that's the case, I won't think about those concerns anymore. I can tell you that the person I traded with was a man in his thirties who claimed to be from the black market in Jing County."

"Every time he came to me, it was as if he knew that I would need him again, so he would show up again at night."

"He was of medium build, with his face covered. I don't know what he looked like, but I could tell from some of his dark skin and deep voice... Only once did I follow him out of the village and walk a distance away, when I saw him driving away in a jeep."

Jin Li was very surprised at the change in Zhang Shengli's attitude. This conciliatory policy was his last resort to deal with this man. He did not expect that he could open the other party's mouth so smoothly.

Especially when I heard that the masked man was driving a jeep, I was surprised, because this made sense.

In Kaoshantun and Hongxing Farm, some traces of jeep tires were also found.

Even Xue Daqing and others had never seen this car and knew nothing about it, so it must be credible that Zhang Shengli could tell the story.

Liu Jianbing on the side was taking notes quickly with a notebook. As long as they could speak, they would finally have a breakthrough tonight.

Although his heart was filled with turmoil, Jin Li showed no surprise on his face. He asked calmly, "Didn't you see more people during the transaction? How did you transport so much food?"

Zhang Shengli finally raised his head, looked straight at him, shook his head, and said, "They deliberately avoided me and didn't let me see other people. Only this masked man came to trade with me."

"However, I can sense that there must be a lot of people behind the scenes, because the transportation speed is also very fast."

Jin Li asked the masked middle-aged man more carefully about some details. Zhang Shengli's mind once again clearly reappeared the man's appearance, from head to toe, every move and every posture, all very clear as if it were real, so he answered the questions in detail one by one truthfully.

Jin Li stared at Zhang Shengli with his sharp eyes, carefully observing his reaction when he answered, in order to judge whether what he said was true or false.

He answered very straightforwardly, without any sign of falsehood.

Anyway, with my rich interrogation experience and superhuman insight, I can't tell it's fake.

Zhang Shengli's answer was exactly the same as the testimonies of the captains who had seen the masked man.

Jin Li let out a breath, feeling relieved, then depressed.

He felt relieved that he had finally overcome Zhang Shengli, but he was depressed that he still couldn't find any more clues about the masked man.

Oh, is there really no way? I am a bit scratching my head.

However, after a while, he immediately realized something new!

Zhang Shengli said that the masked man seemed to know him very well and seemed to know that he would come to him to buy food again, so he would appear in time and come to his door again on his own initiative.

Jin Li thought intently that this person must have some intricate connection with Zhang Shengli. If he could predict his thoughts, he must be familiar with his situation.

So, this time I brought him back to the Cheetah Brigade headquarters overnight. Could it be that the other party also monitored everything that happened?

After having this thought, a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon stared out the window.

Then he stood up and slowly walked to the window, staring at the endless darkness outside, as if he could imagine someone who was also staring at him at this moment.

Could it be like this? Gimli's heart beat faster and faster.

At this time, Lian Xiaomin was using her mental power to observe every move and every subtle expression of everyone in the room.

She knew that the leader was leaning against the window, looking out, but she was hidden behind the tall wall and he couldn't see her.

There seemed to be a magical tacit understanding, and she seemed to be able to feel what Jin Li was thinking at the moment.

Even though he didn't want to try to hypnotize this man, his mental will was obviously very strong, and if he wasn't careful... it would turn out to be bad.

But without the help of mental control, she seemed to be able to communicate with him to a certain extent, because she could predict what he was thinking!

Although Lian Xiaomin was confident that the other party was no match for her in terms of fighting skills, Jin Li was truly unmistakable in terms of investigative ability and meticulous thinking.

That kind of tacit understanding... maybe this is the showdown between the strong.

In a flash, Lian Xiaomin suddenly did a somersault like a swallow, hooked her arm, and jumped onto the high wall, but did not fall into the yard again.

Instead, he straightened up, stood on the wall, and looked up at the person in front of the second-floor window.

In an instant, with the help of some lights in the courtyard, Jin Li immediately saw clearly that there was a person standing on the wall outside!

He felt his blood flow faster in an instant, a sudden storm blew up in his mind, and his heart beat like a drum.

A middle-aged man in his thirties, of medium build, wearing a mask...

In a flash, Jin Li thought to himself, could this be him?

It must be!

Jin Li turned around and rushed out of the room at the fastest speed, like a cheetah bravely fighting the enemy, he spread out his agile body and ran towards his prey without hesitation.

A few seconds later, he had rushed out of the building, but the spot on the wall was empty and there was no one in sight.

But he never doubted whether what he had just seen was an illusion, or who he was. He would never doubt himself.

Without stopping, he continued running towards the main gate of the compound.
