Chapter 149 Morning Greetings
Xiao Qi watched Guan Lamei eat five bags of instant noodles in one breath without blinking, and drank up all the soup.
"The food in your bureau is pretty good, but next time, remember to prepare more cooked food. Eating noodles every day is too monotonous."
Guan Lamei finished the last mouthful of soup, touched her half-full stomach and smacked her lips.
Xiao Qi, who was standing next to him, felt like crying. He didn't expect that the man would finish eating in less than ten minutes.
This instant noodle was specially purchased. It seems to be a new flavor of instant noodles developed by the No. 2 Food Factory of the city. It is the Three Fresh Noodles, and it tastes like shrimp.
Just by smelling the delicious aroma, his stomach couldn't help but feel empty.
"Your name is Xiao Qi, right? Come over and chat with me. I don't have anyone to talk to here, it's so boring."
Guan Lamei sat there openly and patted the seat next to her.
"I...Captain, you're here."
Xiao Qi was so anxious that he was sweating. When he saw Captain Jiang coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn't come earlier, he really wouldn't be able to hold on.
Captain Jiang looked at Xiao Qi a few more times in surprise, wondering: What's wrong with this kid? There were tears in his eyes. Is he so excited?
Captain Jiang looked at Guan Lamei, who was sitting there, and sat down opposite her. "Comrade, we want to ask if there's anything strange about Wang Gang in recent years?"
"What? That man isn't doing something sneaky behind my back, is he?"
Guan Lamei screamed loudly, her heart was almost scared to death, and she inexplicably thought of speculation.
Captain Jiang didn't say anything either. He glanced at Guan Lamei and sighed softly.
Guan Lamei was even more panicked. She had not lived enough, and Guan Donggua had not yet married. She absolutely could not be dragged into this situation by Wang Gang.
He sat up straight, swallowed his saliva and remained calm: "Public Security Comrade, you can ask me anything, I will definitely cooperate."
She had already made up her mind that when she returned, she would kick Wang Gang out of the house. What a jerk, he only caused her trouble.
The Guan family is full of honest people. Her grandfather once killed three Japanese devils and has a good family background.
"Did you buy Wang Gang the red shorts he's wearing?"
Captain Jiang coughed, clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, and asked.
"Yeah, that's right. That's why you asked. When he and I got married, I bought the material for those shorts at a department store and had them made. I remember they were made of Dacron."
Guan Lamei didn't expect that he would ask this question. Her brain froze for three seconds, and then she continued.
This was not something shameful. When she and Wang Gang were together, they were thinking about buying a set of clothes for the person from head to toe.
After buying it, she saw some Dacron material downstairs. It was red material with a dark pattern on the base. She bought a few more feet and went back to make herself a top.
It just so happened that she had lost weight during that period, and she used the remaining red material to make two new large shorts for Wang Gang. It was quite luxurious, after all, they were usually made of solid cotton cloth, which was cheap and breathable.
Wang Gang quite likes this somewhat flirty color. He has worn the two large shorts for quite a long time. Even though the back is a bit worn out, he is still reluctant to take them off.
Guan Lamei also felt that Wang Gang had a lot of little quirks. He was willing to spend money on food but didn't care much about clothes.
Especially the clothes inside, you don’t have to change them for several years.
Captain Jiang understood what was going on and continued, "Has Wang Gang helped his family much in the past few years since you were married?"
"Anyway, I didn't give it to him. I don't go back there often, but I think the conditions there have gotten better in recent years."
"It doesn't cost me money anyway, so I don't really care."
Guan Lamei was thinking about the situation in Wang Gang's family. Wang Gang was the eldest son, and he had a bunch of younger brothers and sisters following him.
It seemed that the Wang family's conditions had improved last year. However, Wang Gang told me that it was because several of his brothers and sisters-in-law started working, which reduced the burden on the family and naturally improved their conditions.
She usually doesn't pay attention to the situation at the Wang family. To be honest, she cares more about the braised pork elbow than those people.
Captain Jiang asked while writing something on a piece of paper. After he finished writing, he let Guan Lamei go back first.
"Comrade, you can go back first, but Wang Gang still can't go back for the time being."
"That's okay, I'm leaving."
Guan Lamei didn't care. She rubbed her stomach and went back. She was thinking of going back to eat a few slices of stale bread.
I looked up at the sky and it was almost dawn, so I went back with my flashlight on.
…
"Captain, look—"
Xiao Qi was tidying up the things on the table. He had just taken away the piled up instant noodle bags and the large enamel cup on the table.
When he flipped it over, he saw a few pieces of gold hidden under the enamel lid and exclaimed in surprise.
He raised his head and looked at Captain Jiang, who was frowning.
Captain Jiang picked it up and took a look: "It must have been dropped by Guan Lamei. I guess she picked it up at that time."
Xiao Qi also didn't understand: "She came back, how strange."
"Put it away, these are all evidence."
"Go get some sleep first, and come back in two hours to continue the interrogation."
"Okay, Captain."
Xiao Qi walked away yawning. He was really hungry and sleepy.
Captain Jiang pinched his brows and walked to another room.
Tan Guangyi carefully compared the red shorts taken off from Wang Gang with the dark cloth dug out from the pit earlier and found that they were made of the same material.
He is now waiting for someone to put the black parts together so that he can know more information.
Captain Jiang came in, closed the door, and saw Tan Guangyi waiting inside.
He walked aside and watched Du Jie carefully restore the remaining parts one by one.
"Captain, I've spelled it out. This is indeed a small radio station."
Because the parts may be incomplete, we can only see the general appearance now, which is 50% restored.
"Xiao Du, is this radio working?"
"No, there are too many major parts missing. It can't be used."
This small radio is actually a simple telegraph machine with a power of about 2W.
"Then are the numbers written on the letter paper encrypted messages?"
"It's very likely, but we don't have the code book, so it's difficult to decipher."
Du Jie touched his head and told the truth.
A code book is a new set of codes formed by re-encoding common Chinese characters, generally using four digits to represent one character.
In this way, the sender only needs to type in numbers, and the receiver can find the corresponding Chinese characters to know the actual meaning.
Codebook
Now without a code book, it is difficult to decipher with just a few numbers.
"Let's keep those two locked up for a while and calm down. We can then interrogate them separately."
Captain Jiang first thought about what to do next.
…
Wei Jianyuan also went to Baihua Shenshen Hutong when they were waiting there. He was sweating all over while arresting people and went back to take a shower and change clothes in the middle of the night.
I took a quick nap and came back early the next morning.
He was biting into the locust flower cake made by his wife. It tasted quite good. It was actually just a batter with locust flowers added.
Jing Qian spread the pancake a little thinner this time, so the edges were crispy when fried, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth.
He was eating when he turned a corner and walked to the gate. A piece of oil paper was stuck in his face.
As luck would have it, it just happened to block his view. He heard the sound of messy footsteps and was about to tear it off to see what was going on.
A gust of wind blew over, blowing the oil paper tighter, blocking my nose and making it difficult to breathe.
He finally managed to tear it open, but the person had already left. Wei Jianyuan took off the oil paper and found something lying at his feet.
As soon as he picked it up and took a look, his face changed and he hurried to the office in two steps.
