Chapter 48 Suspicion of Jiang Zhizhi's Identity
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi run out, Yang Fengmei hurriedly added a ladle of water to the pot and quickly chased after her.
In the blink of an eye, she came out and Jiang Zhizhi was nowhere to be seen. She was quite puzzled. How could little Jiang run away so fast?
Jiang Zhizhi rushed into the village committee, not even bothering to talk to Old Man Liang who was squatting at the door fiddling with farm tools, and went straight into the office and turned off the radio.
The broadcast over the loudspeaker abruptly stopped.
Old Liang stood up, somewhat puzzled and anxious: "Hey, Comrade Jiang Ru, what are you doing? Why did you turn off the radio?"
This afternoon, we were supposed to have a movie screening, but the projectionist had diarrhea and couldn't come. Old Liang thought that we should have some entertainment for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he turned on the radio that he usually couldn't bear to use.
After all, keeping the radio on all the time will drain the battery quite quickly.
Jiang Zhizhi covered the radio switch, looking at Old Man Liang seriously and earnestly: "Who searched for that radio channel just now?"
Old Liang was a little puzzled: "It's me. I usually search like this too, it's this channel. Is there something wrong with it?"
Jiang Zhizhi frowned, knowing that Old Man Liang really didn't understand. If she told him, it would definitely scare him: "I just heard static in it. What you're doing is bad for the radio. It could easily damage it."
Old Liang exclaimed, "There was really a lot of static just now. I thought it was a bad signal. I hope it won't break down in a little while."
As she spoke of the past, she touched the radio with tenderness, as if it were a newborn baby, with care and attention.
They were already poor in northern Gansu, and their commune was even poorer, so it was already quite an achievement that they were able to get such a radio.
Jiang Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Old Man Liang, "Uncle, it won't break. Don't listen to the radio lately."
Old Liang nodded: "Alright, this thing is a treasure of the village, it can't be damaged."
Yang Fengmei rushed in, panting, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Zhizhi quickly waved her hand with a smile: "No, no, it's just that I heard static on the radio and I was afraid that continuing to play it would be bad for the radio."
Yang Fengmei breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought something had happened to your uncle in the office."
Old Liang glared at her: "Can't you wish me a better time?"
Jiang Zhizhi watched with a smile as Old Man Liang and Yang Fengmei argued. Taking advantage of their inattention, she secretly reached out and adjusted the shortwave of the radio.
...
On the mountain, Zhang Zhao, full of doubt, took off his radio headset and turned to look at Zhou Xiye: "Strange, why did it suddenly stop? This radio station appeared before, but it hasn't appeared for more than a year. It just came out today, so it shouldn't have suddenly disappeared, right?"
Zhou Xiye frowned: "Can you confirm that it's the same radio station as the one from a year ago?"
Zhang Zhao nodded: "Yes, but this one is obviously a novice, the frequency is unstable."
Zhou Xiye leaned back in his chair, his fingers touching his temples, lost in thought.
Their troops are outwardly classified as ordinary army units stationed in northern Gansu.
In fact, they are a combat force capable of diverse operations.
Two years ago, their battalion was converted into a special operations team, and he was demoted from deputy regimental commander to team leader.
In battle, their battalion will be a sharp steel blade, piercing straight into the enemy's heart!
More than a year ago, they tracked down a mysterious radio station that was transmitting some of their exercise deployments and engineering missions abroad via a special frequency.
After a thorough internal investigation and purge, the radio station suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.
In the last two days, this Taipower device has been spotted popping up from time to time, making a brief appearance before disappearing again.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we can't relax during holidays. Zhang Zhao personally went to monitor the situation, and unexpectedly, they actually caught him.
However, the other party had very little time, so it was still impossible to pinpoint their exact location.
Zhou Xiye looked up at Zhang Zhao: "As long as they show up, we can catch them."
Although Zhang Zhao felt regretful, he was also relieved: "Right now, they must be very anxious because they can't get in touch with them. Once they do, all our work on these projects will be for nothing."
After thinking for a moment, I wondered, "Is it because it's been silent for too long that people outside have given up on this radio station?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "Just now, Qingquan Village was broadcasting, and when it was interrupted, Qingquan Village's broadcast also stopped. Do you think that's a coincidence?"
Zhang Zhao was surprised. He had been focused on the radio and hadn't noticed the broadcast: "Boss, are you saying that the other side wants to use the radio frequency to contact the outside world?"
He muttered under his breath, "I knew he'd appeared in secret! He's so cunning! But why is the village broadcast off?"
Zhou Xiye turned to look at another soldier in charge of listening: "Can you pinpoint the radio's location?"
The other party was also puzzled: "This time it's very close, right in Qingquan Village."
Zhang Zhao stared in astonishment once again: "The village? There are people like this in the village?"
Zhou Xiye tapped the table: "You should be glad that the broadcast suddenly stopped, preventing the other party from contacting the outside world and giving us ample time to investigate. The sudden stop of the broadcast must have made him panic, which also helps us to find this person."
Zhang Zhao thought about it and agreed: "Boss, why did the village's broadcast suddenly stop? Did they find out too? Or did the battery die and it suddenly stopped?"
Zhou Xiye glanced at him: "We've been here for so long, how many times have you heard the broadcast? Secretary Liang is too reluctant to turn it on. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he only turned it on for a short while. How could the battery be dead?"
Zhang Zhao's eyes widened in surprise: "Secretary Liang has this ability? He can identify frequency band anomalies?"
Zhou Xiye was too lazy to talk to him anymore: "I'm going to the village to take a look. You keep an eye on the educated youth settlement."
Zhang Zhao nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right now."
Zhou Xiye did not go directly to Old Man Liang's house, but went to the militia company and asked them to find Old Man Liang and bring him over.
Just then, Old Liang was still at the village committee, while Jiang Zhizhi had already gone back with Yang Fengmei to continue preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
When Zhou Xiye saw Old Man Liang, he first chatted about things on the mountain, and then asked casually, "The broadcast was working fine just now, why did it suddenly turn off? Did it run out of batteries? We have some over there, we can bring you some."
Old Liang quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, all my batteries are new. Just now, Jiang Ru said the signal was bad and there was too much static, so playing it continuously is bad for the radio."
When Zhou Xiye arrived, he had a vague guess that it might be related to Jiang Zhizhi, and he was still somewhat surprised when he heard her name.
What exactly is her identity? And why does she know so much?
He had been suppressing his desire to investigate Jiang Zhizhi, but this time he could no longer convince himself otherwise.
"Uncle, do you have Comrade Jiang's letter of introduction?"
Old Liang nodded: "Yes, she's going to stay at our village head's residence, so I'll keep this letter of introduction. If anyone comes to investigate later..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Xiye interrupted, "Where's the letter of introduction? Can I see it?"
