The two men were police officers from the police station. They looked at Qin Wan seriously, with a hint of apology in their eyes.
When they saw Qin Wan, their faces flushed and they looked a little embarrassed:
"Comrade Qin, I'm truly sorry. Although we successfully arrested the old lady this time, unfortunately, the old man escaped during the chaos."
When Qin Wan heard the news, he was shocked and a look of surprise appeared on his face:
"Escaped? So, it's certain that the old man's background is not simple. However, the old man is indeed quite clever. You acted so quickly, but you still let him escape."
"Yes, we were also shocked by the old man's cunning. He seemed to have keen insight and was able to detect our actions in advance. Perhaps he had some special channel to obtain information, or possessed excellent observation skills. In any case, his escape has brought certain difficulties to our work and posed certain risks to your safety."
Qin Wan frowned, thought for a moment and said:
"That old man does have some tricks up his sleeve. But no matter what, we can't let him get away with it. You must continue to intensify your efforts to hunt him down and prevent him from endangering society again. At the same time, you must also increase patrols and surveillance in the surrounding areas to prevent him from appearing again."
The public security comrades nodded in agreement and promised to do their best to hunt down the old man and bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible.
Director Luo Sulan was very proud to hear the public security officers praise the safety of the family compound. She echoed:
"Our family compound is the rear base of our army. Of course, it's very safe. If the spy doesn't come, it's fine. But if he is blind and dares to come to our compound, he will never come back."
At that moment, Ge Xiuxiu came over, accompanied by another military wife, Wang Fang, who was the deputy director of the Women's Federation and Luo Sulan's assistant. It was she who called Ge Xiuxiu over.
When Ge Xiuxiu heard what the two police officers said, she felt a strong sense of unease and fear. She looked at them anxiously, her eyes full of pleading, and said:
"Comrade, can you send someone to protect us?"
Her voice was trembling, and she was clearly very worried about her own safety.
However, the public security officer looked embarrassed, shook his head helplessly, and explained:
"We're just a small town here, and the police force is very limited. We can't send anyone to protect you. I'm really sorry."
His tone was full of apology, but it could not bring any comfort to Ge Xiuxiu.
Ge Xiuxiu's face turned pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried:
"Director Luo, what should I do? I'm not afraid, but I have two young children to take care of! Do I have to live in fear every day just for doing good deeds? If this goes on, who will dare to stand up and make selfless contributions?"
Her voice was choked and she was emotionally agitated. The fear and helplessness in her heart almost made her collapse.
Luo Sulan also felt a headache.
She understood Ge Xiuxiu's feelings, but as the wife of Political Commissar Huo and the director of the Women's Federation in the military compound, she knew she had to remain calm and rational.
Although she felt that the matter was not handled properly, she still tried her best to comfort Ge Xiuxiu:
"Xiu Xiu, don't worry. The government will definitely find a way to ensure your safety. Try not to go out during this period. It's safer to stay at home. I believe the police will find the murderer soon and bring them to justice."
Although her words made sense, they could not eliminate the fear in Ge Xiuxiu's heart.
"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Xiuxiu. Think about it, who would dare to sneak into our family compound? Are the people in our compound easy to mess with? I'm afraid he can't even get through the door." Wang Fang also persuaded.
But Ge Xiuxiu was still apprehensive: "Sister-in-law, I know our compound is as safe as an iron barrel, but I'm just scared!"
The two police officers quickly assured her:
"We're also trying our best to apprehend him as soon as possible. Don't worry, even the city has sent people down. We should be able to catch him soon."
Hearing this, Ge Xiuxiu's mood calmed down a little, but she still said with some worry: "I hope you can catch him as soon as possible, otherwise I really don't dare to go out."
Luo Sulan looked at her and comforted her:
"Don't worry too much. I'll report this to Political Commissar Huo and ask them to keep an eye out for it. We're very safe here."
Everyone believed what Director Luo said. After all, she and Political Commissar Huo were just a couple! And everyone knew that Political Commissar Huo was particularly afraid of his wife.
Qin Wan watched quietly from the side, without saying a word to comfort them. It wasn't that she didn't want to persuade them, but she knew that without real protective measures, no matter how much she tried to persuade them, it would be ineffective.
Of course, she had no fear in her heart because she was able to protect herself.
Moreover, she believed that the old man just didn't look for her. If he did, it would be hard to say who would win.
Qin Wan asked with a puzzled look on his face, "So, are the old lady and old man the spies?"
The two police officers looked at each other and then replied:
"At this stage, we are unable to confirm their identities. However, based on their behavior and words, there are indeed many suspicious points. We are conducting an in-depth investigation and hope to solve this mystery as soon as possible."
Qin Wan nodded slightly to show her understanding, and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this matter could be properly resolved as soon as possible so that everyone could live a peaceful life.
After asking, Qin Wan suddenly seemed to remember something and said hurriedly, "Oh, I forgot, comrade, you don't need to keep it secret, right? I hope my question doesn't interfere with your work?"
The two policemen smiled faintly, secretly complaining, "You've already asked all your questions, and we've already answered them, and now you're asking if we're causing any trouble!" But they said politely:
"Actually, there's nothing to keep secret. The old man's identity as a spy is well established, but the old lady is a native of this place."
According to public security comrades, the old man was actually a Japanese spy lurking in our country before liberation, but later his identity was exposed and he began to flee.
In order to hide his true identity, he brutally killed an elderly widower who was similar in stature to him, and disguised himself as that old man through superb disguise skills.
In order to better perform his mission, he chose to seduce the old lady.
The old lady had been a widow for many years and had never received true love. However, the old man was very clever. He not only moved the old lady's heart with sweet words, but also gave her a lot of money and precious gifts. At the same time, he was eloquent and willing to spend money, which successfully made the old lady fall in love with him.
After the old lady married the old man, she ran errands for him wholeheartedly, and even now, she still keeps secrets for the old man.
"Are we just going to let that hateful old lady help the bad guys do evil?"
Ge Xiuxiu said angrily,
"How could she be so confused? Doesn't she understand that her actions will implicate countless innocent people?"
The two soldiers sighed and looked helpless.
