Chapter 012 Almost Exposed
Although the memories of the past eighteen years have long been blurred.
But Gu Weidong had a strong intuition at this moment.
The piece of paper in his trouser pocket is definitely not his own!
"Give me those pants!"
Gao Fusheng didn't understand what was going on, but he always listened to Gu Weidong. As long as Gu Weidong lay in bed and rested obediently, he would do anything.
He immediately handed the trousers to Gu Weidong.
Gu Weidong reached into his trouser pocket and, as expected, he felt a palm-sized piece of paper.
The paper looked like it was torn from a homework book, with green horizontal lines printed on it.
Perhaps out of caution, the paper was not only folded into a square, but the edges were also carefully glued together.
If anyone wants to open this paper and read it, they must tear off the sticky part, but now the paper is still tightly stuck, which means that no one has taken it out to read it before.
Gu Weidong breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has not seen the contents of the paper yet, the person who slipped the note was so mysterious and cautious, which means the contents must be very important.
Fortunately, he was admitted to a special ward after being sent to the hospital, otherwise there would be so many people in the hospital and the paper might have been stolen by someone.
Gu Weidong was no longer in a hurry after guessing that the paper might contain some important information.
He took the paper and examined it carefully, then sniffed it.
The paper exudes a strong pine scent, which should be coming from the glue used to stick the paper together.
This detail may seem insignificant, but it allowed Gu Weidong to analyze a lot from it.
First of all, the owner of this paper probably didn't have any suitable tools at hand at the time, so he could only use nearby materials and take some glue from a pine tree to use as an adhesive.
This shows that the person slipped the note to him on impulse.
Secondly, since he was able to obtain the gum from pine trees, it is very likely that the person was in the forest at the time.
There just happened to be a large area of pine trees growing in the dense forest of Sheshan where Gu Weidong was hunting down the spies. So is it possible that the person who slipped the note to him was the one who saved him and caught the two spies?
The last one was a piece of paper torn from a homework book, which means that the person who stuffed the note was either still in school, or he (she) had someone who was still in school and carried a homework book with him (her).
This last analysis made Gu Weidong's mind suddenly flash across a thin and childish face.
The little girl who inexplicably appeared in the deep forest of She Mountain in the middle of the night, claiming that she was going into the mountains to look for food, and carrying a shoulder bag of wild fruits.
There was something strange and bizarre about the arrest of the two spies. Gu Weidong always felt that it was definitely related to that little girl.
Maybe if we find that little girl, all the mysteries can be solved.
After checking and confirming that there were no problems, Gu Weidong carefully peeled off the layer of glue and unfolded the paper.
After seeing the contents of the paper clearly, Gu Weidong's face suddenly changed. He turned around and shouted anxiously to Gao Fusheng:
"Quick, call the regiment and ask Political Commissar Yao to come over. Tell them I have important intelligence to report!"
Ye Qing rode the shaky bus all the way back to the city, unaware that she was almost exposed because of the note she left behind.
Whether it was saving people or leaving clues about the communication between the two spies, Ye Qing thought she had been careful enough.
Aside from the moment when the "policeman" shone the flashlight on her, there was no evidence of flaws elsewhere on her.
But even if the policeman saw his face, Ye Qing was not very worried.
Firstly, she had been in the woods for a whole day and was already covered in dust and dirt. The weak light from the flashlight only shone for a second or two, and she felt that the policeman might not have been able to see her appearance clearly.
Even if she saw it clearly and remembered it, she was not afraid. After all, she was not a nearby villager, and the clues she left for the police were all nonsense. She did not believe that with the current criminal investigation technology and investigation methods, they could find out about her.
Secondly, she was going to go to the countryside soon, and from then on, she would be far away from home. It was estimated that this would be the only time she and the policeman would come into contact in their lives. No matter how hard the public security bureau investigated, it would be impossible to trace a sent-down youth across provinces.
So Ye Qing didn't have any psychological burden at all.
The only thing that was not thorough enough in her rescue plan was probably slipping the note to the policeman.
What if the bus driver accidentally dropped the note while taking the person to the police station? Would the note fall into someone else's hands? What if the person who picked up the note didn't know the seriousness of the matter and leaked the information inside, alerting the spy's superiors and causing the person to escape?
Afterwards, the more Ye Qing thought about it, the more she felt that what she had done was not appropriate. But it was already done, and even if she realized the problem, it was too late.
Moreover, even though she knew there were loopholes and bugs, after thinking it over, she realized that this was the only way she could do it.
After all, she couldn't get herself involved in catching a spy.
If she wants to stay safe and protect herself, she must have less contact with people like the police, otherwise someone with a keen intuition might discover the secrets hidden in her.
So this is all she can do to help with this matter. She can't help with anything else.
She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that the piece of paper would be successfully found by the policeman or his colleagues.
It was almost seven o'clock when we got back to the city.
After confiscating a watch from the two spies, Ye Qing was finally able to keep track of time.
In the past few days, she could only rely on the sun and the sky to tell time. She was always worried that if it was cloudy or rainy one day, she would be in trouble.
In addition to the watch, she also found more than 100 yuan in change and a bunch of tickets from the two spies.
Having made a small fortune, Ye Qing naturally would not treat herself badly. She had been eating wild fruits in the forest for the past two days, and she began to feast on pickled vegetables and rice made by the chef of the state-owned hotel.
So as soon as she got back to the city, the first thing she did was to rush into the state-owned hotel and have a meal.
After finishing his meal, Ye Qing looked at the basket of things he had brought back and began to worry again.
The temperature in Shanghai was still a bit high in September. Whether it was the wild mushrooms, ripe kiwis or the two pheasants she hunted, if they were not processed quickly, they would probably go bad overnight.
She wanted to sell these things on the black market.
So after leaving the state-owned hotel, she began to wander around the streets to see if she could find the so-called entrance to the black market.
But it was obvious that she was overthinking it.
In this era, the crackdown on speculation is huge, especially in big cities like Shanghai, the punishment has been increased, so the black market in Shanghai must be hidden more secretly, and you can't even touch it without the help of acquaintances.
The black market was not found, but Ye Qing didn’t want to let the vampires of the Ye family get away with it.
So after thinking for a few seconds, she decided to go to her original school.
In September, I should have been in the third year of junior high school, but after the policy of going to the countryside was implemented, Mr. and Mrs. Ye secretly reported my name to the street office, so when the new semester started, this unscrupulous pair of parents did not let me register for school.
At that time, the nine-year compulsory education policy had not yet been implemented, and many children from poor families dropped out of school. Therefore, the school did not find it strange that the original student did not report for the new semester.
Only the original class teacher, Song Chunhua, paid a special visit to the Ye family after the start of the school year, trying to persuade Ye's father and mother to hold on a little longer and at least let the child finish junior high school.
The head teacher had good intentions and thought that even girls should study more to have a better future.
But she didn't know her situation at home, nor did she know that her parents had already made other plans.
Therefore, Song Chunhua's visit not only failed to allow the original body to return to school, but also caused Ye's mother to be sarcastic and give the original body a humiliating scolding.
But Ye Qing was still grateful for the efforts that the head teacher had made for his original body. Since the things in the backpack could not be sold, he might as well give them to the head teacher as a thank-you gift.
Song Chunhua lived in the school's staff dormitory. When Ye Qing went there, she was grading homework in the dormitory. She was a little surprised and puzzled that Ye Qing came to her at this time.
Ye Qing generously placed the backpack on the ground behind her:
"Teacher Song, I can't continue in the third year of junior high school. My parents signed me up to go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth. I will be leaving in a few days."
Song Chunhua was shocked:
"What? Your parents signed you up? But don't you have an older brother and sister? You're only sixteen years old, how come you're the one to go to the countryside?"
Ye Qing didn't think that family shame should not be made public, and what's more, she didn't consider those people in the Ye family as her family. So Ye Qing had no intention of hiding what Ye's parents had done, and told Song Chunhua everything.
Finally, Ye Qing smiled, with a bit of relief:
"It's not bad to go to the countryside. At least from now on I can live just for myself, and no one can easily control my life anymore!"
"But don't worry, Mr. Song. I won't give up studying even if I go to the countryside!"
"Thank you very much for your training and care for me in the past two years. These are the wild fruits and mushrooms I picked in the suburbs today. I was lucky enough to catch two pheasants in the mountains. I hope you don't mind!"
Ye Qing handed the backpack over, and Song Chunhua was in a panic and was about to refuse.
But Ye Qing was very persistent and could be said to have forcefully squeezed himself into Song Chunhua's arms.
Then she bowed respectfully to Song Chunhua, turned around and left without staying in the dormitory.
Unexpectedly, Song Chunhua caught up with her as soon as she walked out of the staff dormitory:
"Ye Qing, wait a minute!"
Ye Qing was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw Song Chunhua still holding her backpack in her hand.
Ye Qing thought Song Chunhua still refused to accept the gift she gave her, and was thinking of some words to persuade her, but Song Chunhua suddenly lowered her voice and explained:
"Take these things and follow me. I'll take you to see the principal and see if we can make some concessions and give you your diploma in advance!"
