Lin Yi said calmly, "Uncle police, please don't scare me. If you have any evidence, please show me. I want to know too. It would be best if you could arrange for me to confront the informant face to face."

The black-faced man in the big hat glared at her: "What? You still want to retaliate against the whistleblower?"

Lin Yi was speechless.

The man in the big hat continued, "How many people are there in your organization? How many years have you been lurking? Why did you run away? Did your partner, Qiu Sanmei, and your father, Jiang Lan, know about this?"

"Is this a collective punishment? It has nothing to do with them. Please don't disturb their studies and work. If your improper law enforcement causes trouble to me and my family, I will reserve the right to prosecute you." Lin Yi warned the big hats seriously.

The man in the big hat sneered: "It has nothing to do with them? So you admit the accusations against you? Did you do all this alone?"

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Rumormongers open their mouths, and those who refute them run themselves ragged. Lin Yi gave up defending himself and said, "I need to make a phone call."

The man in the top hat said disdainfully: "It won't work no matter who you ask."

Lin Yi: "Then what are you afraid of? I have the right to make a phone call, right?"

The man in the big hat decided to report to his boss first: There might really be something wrong with this kid. If an ordinary person was caught, he would have been panicked and at a loss. But this kid was so calm, he must have received professional training.

Now that he asked to make a phone call, it was very likely that he wanted to pass on some information or catch the big fish behind him.

The man in the big hat said: He had to quickly connect the telephone monitoring machine.

The leader quickly approved the phone call request and asked them to speed up the questioning of the suspect's family members at the same time.

Soon, Lin Yi was taken to a room with a telephone, and the man in the peaked hat motioned him to pick up the receiver.

The operator's voice came from the phone: "Excuse me, who's the call?"

Lin Yi: "X Military Region Chief's Office, looking for Commander Jiang."

The soldiers in the top hats were shocked: That's impossible, the enemy spies have infiltrated the top leaders of the military region?

Operator: "All military telephones are direct lines. Please dial directly."

Lin Yi: "Then help me connect to the governor's office."

Big Cap: "Even the governor is being dragged into this? This guy is too ruthless."

The operator was speechless. Not just anyone could call the governor's office. His voice became increasingly rigid and cold: "Sorry, your phone is not authorized to call the governor."

Neither call went through. He did have the number, but it was stored in space. If he were to produce a phone book out of thin air, he would be convicted of being a spy, and an alien spy at that.

The man in the top hat snorted coldly, "Who else are you calling?"

Lin Yi: "I won't fight anyone anymore. Find someone who knows a foreign language and have them look at what's written on the so-called evidence you have."

Lin Yi estimated that this mistake was most likely due to his papers published in foreign journals.

Who is so rude?

The man in the black-faced cap was reporting to his superiors: "We found no evidence or clues at his home. The whistleblower and Jiang Duoming's father, Jiang Lan, work in the same unit and are competitors. Jiang Lan was recently promoted, so we can't rule out malicious retaliation from the whistleblower."

The leader flipped through the pile of foreign-language documents and asked, "Have you found any results from the handwriting identification? Are those letters indeed written by this Jiang Yiming?"

"We don't have any technical experts in this area in our bureau. We're seeking assistance from the military and are awaiting further information."

The leader frowned: "Please ask the whistleblower to come over as well. Find someone to translate the contents of these documents as soon as possible, and make sure to keep them confidential."

The officers in the big hats took the order and left. Lin Yi was locked up in a single cell. At night, the officers in the big hats came back and their attitude was obviously much better. They also told him that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had already taken the child home.

Since Jiang Qiuying was not suffering, Lin Yi had nothing to worry about. He even comforted himself by thinking that it was just an experience of a different life.

Hey, don't say that. After so many time-traveling missions, the chances of landing yourself in jail are really rare.

Early the next morning, Jiang Lan and Qiu Sanmei were released. Both of them refused to leave and insisted on waiting for Lin Yi to go together.

The man in the peaked hat consoled them gently, saying that they were just going through the final procedures and that they would definitely be able to release the person today, but it was probably getting late, so he asked the two to go back first.

Qiu Sanmei had several blisters in her mouth from worrying all night. She was really worried about her daughter. The child had never been away from her for such a long time before, and she didn't know whether she slept well last night.

Jiang Lan asked her to go back and take a look first, and he would just wait here alone.

The third sister said she would go back and take a look first, and come back later if it doesn’t work.

After the third sister left, Jiang Lan went out to find a place and made two phone calls.

In less than two hours, the whistleblower was handcuffed and brought back.

Jiang Lan: I don’t hold grudges. I usually take revenge on the spot.

Comrade Jiang knows exactly where to add salt to make it salty and vinegar to make it sour.

In the afternoon, Lin Yi was driven back to the Jiang family compound by the man in the big hat.

Jiang Lan refused to be escorted and returned to his workplace. This incident had no impact on him. The whistleblower from the same unit had been arrested, so his influence would be cleared quickly.

The police took the man away from Jiang's house in broad daylight, with everyone in the alley watching. Although cooperating with the investigation is the duty of every citizen,

But it is also the responsibility of the public security organs to help innocent people eliminate the impact of negative public opinion.

After sending Lin Yi away, the man in the big hat also sent Qiu Sanmei to school. He waited until the class was over and explained to his classmates that Qiu Sanmei was just helping the public security agency with a routine investigation and she had not committed any illegal behavior.

This was Lin Yi's strong request. He could ignore the impact of public opinion, but his family still had to live and study here. If those groundless remarks were not guided, they might turn into a tsunami.

Sure enough, it was necessary to do so. Father Qiu and Mother Qiu quickly returned to their normal mood. Not only that, after returning to his hometown in northern Shaanxi during the summer vacation, he talked about the incident of being sent to the police station as if it were an adventure.

It turned out that this old man had a talent for storytelling. He added a lot of plots out of thin air, which left the old friends in the village stunned.

In early July, Jiangzhou University began its summer vacation of 1980.

Lin Yi sent his wife, children, father-in-law and mother-in-law on the train back to northern Shaanxi before he began to pack his luggage to go to Hong Kong.

Unlike the Qiu family's train trip, Lin Yi took a military plane this time.

He secretly boarded a plane from the Jiangzhou Military Region Airport, the plane landed at the Guangdong Military Region, and then took a military vehicle directly to a small fishing village in Shenzhen, and then took a boat to the port from there.

He was accompanied by two plainclothes soldiers who had forged their identities.

In fact, he really is a spy this time...
