After An An's reminder in the morning, Gu Weicheng went to Qi Jingxuan's residence again and found that there was indeed cigarette ashes scattered at the door.
Who else but a spy would do such cautious behavior and strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities? Why would an art teacher at an elementary school in an institution be so suspicious?
Only spies are afraid that others will sneak into their rooms, so they sprinkle cigarette ashes on the door and check the ashes on the ground before coming back every day to see if anyone has stepped on them.
If the ash showed signs of being stepped on, it meant someone had entered the room and the agent had to evacuate immediately.
It is estimated that Qi Jingxuan took action in the middle of the night because he saw the ashes being stepped on by someone.
I learned from Principal Ren that it had been more than ten years since he last saw Qi Jingxuan.
"It seemed to be sixteen years ago, when Jingxuan was eight years old, and Old Master Qi was celebrating his sixtieth birthday. My father and I went to Tunxi to celebrate with him."
"Tunxi? Isn't the Qi family in Huizhou?" Gu Weicheng asked.
Principal Ren explained: "We went to Tunxi together for a trip and happened to celebrate my birthday there."
"Jingxuan accidentally knocked over the kettle, leaving a scar on his right wrist. I saw the scar with my own eyes, so how could it not be Jingxuan's?"
"And after he came here, he also exchanged letters with Old Master Qi. If he was a fake, wouldn't his handwriting be exposed when he wrote the letter?"
"Captain Gu, is there any misunderstanding here?"
By letter?
Gu Weicheng frowned, he thought of a possibility, the real Qi Jingxuan might still be alive!
"Principal Ren, come with me to the interrogation room." Gu Weicheng said, and whispered a few words to Principal Ren.
Then he took out the landscape paintings found in Qi Jingxuan's house, held them to the military dog's nose for it to smell, and told his men to take the military dog to search.
"Search thoroughly around Qi Jingxuan's residence!"
In the interrogation room, Qi Jingxuan still refused to give in. No matter what he was asked, he said that Gu Weicheng had arrested good people indiscriminately and he would report it to the higher authorities.
When he saw Principal Ren, Qi Jingxuan begged, "Uncle Ren, you're here! Please help me get rid of this guy named Gu. He arrested good people for no reason!
I was just worried about Grandpa's condition, so I left in the middle of the night to go back and see him early. I told you about this before, but he said he didn't believe anything and said I was a spy. It's ridiculous. Uncle Ren, you watched me grow up, how could I be a spy? "
Principal Ren glanced at Gu Weicheng and said, "That's what I said, but they insisted that I come and identify him."
"Jingxuan, do you still remember the scar you got when you were playing with fire and accidentally got burned when we were celebrating your grandfather's birthday in Huizhou when you were nine years old? This scar may prove your identity. Show it to them."
Qi Jingxuan immediately stretched out his right hand, rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scar.
He said to Gu Weicheng proudly, "Yes, I still have this scar on my body that represents my identity. I was burned when I was nine years old in Huizhou for my grandfather's birthday. Captain Gu, what else do you have to say now?"
Gu Weicheng met Qi Jingxuan's smug eyes and curled the corners of his mouth.
"Principal Ren, is this confirmed?"
"Confirmed, Captain Gu, you are right, he is fake."
"Uncle Ren...what did you say? I clearly have this scar on my hand, how could it be fake?" Qi Jingxuan looked at Principal Ren in disbelief.
Principal Ren said: "This scar was caused by a burn when Jingxuan was seven years old, not nine. Nor was it caused in Huizhou, but in Tunxi."
Qi Jingxuan's eyes flashed with annoyance, and then he explained: "Yes, I remembered it wrong. It should be seven years old, not nine years old. I just can't remember the things in my childhood clearly. This doesn't mean anything!"
Gu Weicheng laughed and corrected Qi Jingxuan, "Wrong again. The real Qi Jingxuan was burned when he was eight years old. He couldn't draw because of the burn on his right hand, so he practiced drawing with his left hand for a while. How could he not even remember how old he was for such a profound thing?"
"For something this profound, it's understandable to make a mistake once, but is it possible to make a mistake twice?"
At this moment, the soldier sent by Gu Weicheng came back with a military dog and said, "Report to the commander. We found a man through the military dog. He has passed out. Before he passed out, he said he was Qi Jingxuan. Let's save him."
When the fake Qi Jingxuan heard this, his pupils contracted.
He is not dead yet!
On the other side, Li Xia and Hu Songlin brought a team of people to the place where she picked mushrooms last time.
More than a dozen people had been searching for several hours, almost digging three feet into the hilltop, and finally found a damaged camera in a rabbit hole.
"That's it!" Li Xia remembered that the picture of the camera that Qi Jingxuan showed her was very similar to this camera.
…
Two days later.
"Wife, the organization has thoroughly investigated the matter. The man in the hospital is the real Qi Jingxuan. He was targeted by spies on the train to Yuncheng. Not long after he got off the train, he was knocked unconscious by spies. The spies took over his identity and worked as an art teacher in the agency's primary school."
"The camera you found is the fake Qi Jingxuan's mission this time. Originally, the first two spies were going to meet in the back mountain, but something unexpected happened. A group of women went to the back mountain to pick mushrooms, which caused them to fail to meet. They could only hide the camera in the back mountain and wait to get it later.
However, when the fake Qi Jingxuan went to get it later, he found that the camera was gone. He suspected that the camera was picked up by a woman who went to the back mountain to pick mushrooms, so he counted the number of people who went to the back mountain to pick mushrooms during that period.
Those who have children at home are approached under the pretext of "home visit", while those who don't have children are approached under the pretext of collecting folk songs by visiting their fellow villagers' homes.
After the camera was repaired, the technicians found that the camera had captured a lot of important intelligence about our army."
"The organization said that it was thanks to you that you discovered the spy's misbehavior in time and helped Lao Hu find the camera, which prevented the spy from taking away our military intelligence. So you are the one who made the greatest contribution this time. We will attend the commendation ceremony together."
Gu Weicheng held Li Xia's hand and said in an inspiring tone: "Wife, you are so outstanding!"
An An said beside him: "Dad, I also want to attend the commendation meeting."
Gu Weicheng leaned over and picked up An An with one hand: "Okay, An An will go too. An An's observation skills are amazing. Even the leader praised you."
He was busy investigating the spies these two days and didn't have a good rest, let alone shave, so some stubble grew.
Gu Weicheng touched An An's face with his chin, and An An dodged while giggling: "Dad, your beard is so itchy."
"I haven't shaved for two days and it's grown so much." Gu Weicheng put An An down and reached out to touch the beard on his chin.
I heard that men whose beards grow fast have more testosterone secretion and more yang energy. It’s true when I think about it.
Li Xia took the initiative and said, "Weicheng, let me shave you."
His wife wanted to shave him? Gu Weicheng certainly had no reason to refuse.
First, make foam with soap, apply it evenly on the chin, and then scrape it slowly with a scraper.
Li Xia was very careful, fearing that she might hurt Gu Weicheng.
Gu Weicheng's gaze fell on Li Xia, who had a serious expression. From his angle, he could only see Li Xia's soft profile, and her fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.
Her hands were so gentle, holding his face gently.
Gu Weicheng opened his arms and wrapped them around Li Xia's slender waist.
"Oh, don't move." Li Xia said angrily, dragging out the last syllable, like a coquettish and complaining, making people's hearts tremble.
After finally shaving his beard and washing it with clean water, the rough man Gu Weicheng became handsome again.
Gu Weicheng was very tired, and said he would take a nap, and fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed. However, his hands were still holding Li Xia, and Li Xia could not move, so she had no choice but to sleep with Gu Weicheng.
In the evening, Mrs. Tao came to visit and brought Li Xia a piece of news: "Xiao Li, I just heard that Su Wenyan seems to have woken up!"
