At home, Li Xia was frying eggs, but she seemed a little absent-minded.

Gu Weicheng went out at around 2 a.m. last night, and it’s already 7 a.m. and he hasn’t come back yet. Could something have happened?

When Li Xia thought of this possibility, her heart couldn't help but tighten.

An An whispered beside her, "Mom, the eggs are burnt."

Li Xia then realized that the fried eggs were a bit burnt, so she quickly used a spatula to scoop out the fried eggs.

She apologized to An An and said, "Mom was just thinking about something and didn't pay attention. I'll fry another one for you."

"Mom, Dad will be fine." An An looked up at Li Xia and said affirmatively.

He knew that his mother didn't even notice that the eggs were burnt because she was worried about his father.

Li Xia raised the corner of her mouth and nodded: "Yes, Dad will be fine."

At this moment, Gu Weicheng's voice came from the yard: "Wife, An An, come and have breakfast."

Before he came back, he went to the cafeteria and got back breakfast.

"Dad is back!" An An jumped up happily when he heard his father's voice.

Li Xia held An An's hand and ran out of the kitchen together. They saw Gu Weicheng standing in the living room with a lunch box, inviting them to have breakfast.

"It's time for breakfast." He smelled the smell of eggs, but they were a little mushy. "Did you cook breakfast at home today?"

Li Xia saw Gu Weicheng standing at home safely, looking no different than usual, and she finally felt relieved.

He walked over and opened the lunch box with a familiar look: "It was accidentally burnt. I'll have the breakfast you ordered."

It was obvious that the lunch box was not theirs. Gu Weicheng did not bring a lunch box when he went out last night. This should be a lunch box he borrowed from the cafeteria.

An An picked up the big bun and said while eating, "Mom was too worried about Dad, so she burnt the eggs."

Gu Weicheng held Li Xia's hand and comforted her, "Wife, I'm fine."

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Li Xia also held Gu Weicheng's hand back, "What happened last night? Is it related to that person?"

An An is still here, and the matter of Qi Jingxuan being a spy has not yet been resolved, so Li Xia replaced Qi Jingxuan's name with "that person".

"Well, the people I sent to keep an eye on him told me that he ran away in the middle of the night. We chased him to the guesthouse in town and caught him. He is now being interrogated in the interrogation room." Gu Weicheng said seriously.

"But the evidence now is not enough to prove that he is a spy. The leader asked me to find evidence that can prove he is a spy within 24 hours, otherwise he will be released when the time is up."

"Wife, I will be very busy today and may not be able to come back to have dinner with you and son in the evening." Gu Weicheng said.

Li Xia nodded, showing her understanding: "Work is important, just focus on your work, don't worry about me and An An."

An An stared at the soles of Gu Weicheng's shoes for a while and said, "Dad, there is dust under your shoes. Our teacher Qi also has dust under his shoes sometimes."

"Dust?" Gu Weicheng looked down at the soles of his shoes and found that there was indeed dust on them.

I rubbed some off with my hand and crushed it, and found that it was just ordinary cigarette ash.

Same as the dust under Qi Jingxuan's shoes? Gu Weicheng guessed that he probably got it accidentally when he went to Qi Jingxuan's house to look for evidence last night.

It was too dark last night and he had been busy all night so he didn't even notice the dust under his shoes.

"Son, you have a strong ability to observe." Gu Weicheng praised. An An has always had a good ability to observe.

After a quick breakfast, Gu Weicheng went out.

An An asked, "Mom, is there a spy? Is the spy Teacher Qi?"

Li Xia didn't expect that even though she deliberately didn't mention Qi Jingxuan's name, An An still noticed it.

This child is indeed precocious.

She did not deny it, because if she denied it, An An would let down her guard.

Instead, he said, "This is just our guess. There is no evidence to prove that he is a spy. So An An, you can't tell other students about this when you go to school. Do you understand?"

An An nodded: "Mom, I understand."

"Also, you should go to and from school with Ai Dang and Xiao Hao. If you meet strangers, ignore them." Li Xia instructed.

Although Gu Weicheng said that he had sent people to guard the school and there were also patrol teams on the road from the family compound to the government primary school, Li Xia still had to give some reminders.

"Okay, Mom, I remember it." An An nodded.

The voices of Ma Aidang and Jiang Xiaohao rang out from outside the door: "An An, have you finished your breakfast? Let's go to school!"

"I'm coming." An An put on the army green messenger bag and waved to Li Xia, "Mom, I'm leaving."

After An An, Ma Aidang and Jiang Xiaohao left, Li Xia asked Minister Wei for a day off, saying that he had something to do at home.

The Propaganda Department is busy only when leaders have to attend important meetings and write speeches, or go out on field trips or interviews, but the work is relatively leisurely at other times.

Li Xia was very efficient at work and completed the assigned work the day before, so Minister Wei immediately approved her leave.

Li Xia was holding a list in her hand. It was the list of students that Qi Jingxuan had selected to participate in the painting competition next month.

She still felt that Qi Jingxuan chose these people for a reason.

Li Xia went to each family one by one and asked them all what questions Qi Jingxuan asked during his home visits.

Without exception, Qi Jingxuan mentioned photos and cameras.

Li Xia became more certain that the camera might be the breakthrough.

Perhaps Qi Jingxuan was looking for his lost camera?

If he is really a spy, then it is self-evident what is in his lost camera.

The most important thing right now is to find this camera!

But... where to find it?

When Li Xia came out of the last house, she saw an older woman coming towards her. She called out to the parent of the student she had just asked, "Caixia, aren't you going to the mountain to pick mushrooms today?"

"No, no, I'm not going. I went there every day a while ago and I couldn't finish eating all the dried mushrooms at home!"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Xia's mind.

Picking mushrooms in the mountains!

She finally discovered the common point of these children selected by Qi Jingxuan: their parents had all gone to the back mountain to pick mushrooms!

Could it be that the spy's camera fell or was hidden in the back mountain for some reason, but Qi Jingxuan couldn't find it when he went to get it, so he suspected that someone who went to the back mountain to pick mushrooms found the camera, so he tried his best to find the camera?

This possibility is very high, and Li Xia guessed that there must be something about military secrets in the camera.

Li Xia did not delay any longer and planned to go to the back mountain to look for it. If he could find the camera, perhaps there would be enough evidence to prove that Qi Jingxuan was a spy.

However, she did not go alone, but went with the group.

Gu Weicheng was not in the group when he went to investigate, but Hu Songlin was there. She could ask Hu Songlin to bring someone to accompany her.

After asking Li Xia about her purpose, Hu Songlin immediately said seriously:

"Sister-in-law, you were right not to go to the back mountain alone. If it's really as you guessed, there might be danger in the back mountain. If something happens to you, Old Gu will be very worried. I will bring a team to help you look for it!"

…

On the other side, Gu Weicheng is also investigating.

"Principal Ren, I would like to ask you about Qi Jingxuan's matter." Gu Weicheng said.

"I suspect that the current Qi Jingxuan is not the real Qi Jingxuan."
