Chapter 276
276.
Hearing Fengqin's question, the doctor pointed at the dark screen and said, "Isn't it right here? Look at this arc. This is the child's head, and these are the hands and legs. See?"
Yi Hanxing stretched his head to look curiously.
My goodness, if Yi Hanxing hadn’t seen his own B-ultrasound that year, he would have been almost fooled by the doctor. Is this thing a head?
Everyone who had never seen an ultrasound machine believed what the doctor said.
"There are such machines! Let me tell you, technology is advancing with each passing day." Even if you are a researcher yourself, you can't help but sigh.
Yi Hanxing looked at the doctor who was telling lies seriously and admired her psychological quality and acting skills very much. He even wondered if she was a real doctor. She shouldn't be an intelligence officer pretending to be one, right?
Thinking of this, Yi Hanxing couldn't ask at this time and could only hold it in.
Yi Hanxing thought he had passed this stage. While observing Fengqin's expression, he waited for the next move of the spy who hated him. Unexpectedly, Fengqin asked, "Since the experts are here, can you help our fellow villagers take a look?"
"Fellow villager?" Everyone was surprised: "Fengqin, when did you meet your fellow villager?"
"It was during the last holiday that my husband wanted to buy an old hen to stew some soup, and that's how he met a fellow villager here. Her daughter-in-law is also pregnant. They are so pitiful." Fengqin said.
At this moment, Yi Hanxing couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly. When did Fengqin's husband contact this fellow villager? Since Fengqin had mentioned it, this person should not be suspected of being a spy, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the organization's investigation. But if this person is not a problem, how can we guarantee that the others contacted by Fengqin's husband are also not a problem?
Because everyone drew lots to form groups of three or more when leaving the base, Yi Hanxing took note of this matter and planned to report it to the security department when he returned and check the people they had contacted.
The problem that Yi Hanxing and the doctor face now is whether they can refuse when Fengqin proposes to do an ultrasound for other people.
"What happened to them?" When others heard Fengqin say that the fellow villagers were pitiful, they couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Their family has given birth to three children, each of whom has more or less problems. One has different legs, one is a fool, and the other is weak since birth. I think since we have this method, and doctors are kind-hearted, can you help take a look at her daughter-in-law? Her belly is not big now. Take a look at the child. If there is a problem, don't give birth to the baby. Their family is already under a heavy burden." Fengqin said, wanting to plead with the doctor.
Hearing Fengqin's words, Yi Hanxing couldn't tell for a moment whether she was doubting the doctor's verification again or she really sympathized with the family.
Yi Hanxing is like this, even more
Not to mention others, everyone pleaded with the doctor, hoping that the doctor could take a look at the pregnant woman in this family.
Yi Hanxing glanced at the doctor worriedly: Is this comrade a real doctor? Is he a fake?
Fortunately, the comrades in the organization had strict logic and worked meticulously. Although it was just a show, they took it seriously and actually invited a doctor to take charge.
As an obstetrician and gynecologist, she couldn't bear to hear such things. After hearing this, she glanced at the armed security guards and, after receiving a sign of agreement, she agreed, "Sure, go get them over here right away."
Upon hearing this, Fengqin quickly thanked them on their behalf and said to the soldier beside them, "I might need to trouble you to send someone over to look for them. They're in a village on the border of Zexiang and the county seat. Just go over and ask around and you'll find out."
Because everyone needs more than three people to act together to avoid spy leaks, if the soldiers go there, three combat forces will be eliminated at once.
Upon hearing this, Yi Hanxing frowned slightly, then immediately relaxed and said to Fengqin, "Sister Fengqin, you should go with the two military comrades, so as not to get lost in the wrong direction. It would be bad if we can't find the person. We have a chance that we can't miss, so it's better for you to go with us just in case."
Yi Hanxing very skillfully carried out a moral kidnapping on Fengqin, just like what Fengqin did to the doctor. If she had a clear conscience, she would naturally be happy to do it. If she had other ulterior motives, she could not refuse outright.
Yi Hanxing was thinking, originally, there were only a few soldiers accompanying him to the county town. If three soldiers left, and Fengqin was acting as an insider, what would happen if the spies wiped out their group? It would be safer if Fengqin left.
After Yi Hanxing spoke, others indeed echoed him, urging Fengqin to set off with the soldiers.
It was not known whether Fengqin was happy or not, but she just walked out with two soldiers who took the initiative to step out (both were security personnel).
The three of them brought the pregnant woman and her family here smoothly. Even because of Fengqin's "hard lobbying", several of the pregnant woman's neighbors followed them out of curiosity.
What Yi Hanxing saw was a large group of ethnic minority people.
Yi Hanxing took a few casual glances and couldn't help thinking: If Fengqin is really a spy, then it would be killing three birds with one stone!
Provoking feelings between ethnic groups is a rogue practice that countries like the Beacon of Freedom have always pursued. Fengqin asked so many people to come over. If the doctor's diagnosis is accurate, then Fengqin will have face among these people in the future, and if she wants to do something, such as passing on information, there will be someone to help. If the doctor's diagnosis is not accurate, then these people's anger will be directed at the Han people who come here to work.
Even if the doctor is right, but the child really has a problem and the other party finds it difficult to accept the result, a conflict may break out.
Seeing this scene, Yi Hanxing asked curiously, "Sister Fengqin, do you understand the language of ethnic minorities?"
If you don’t understand, how can you know how miserable they are?
After hearing Yi Hanxing's question, some people looked at Fengqin with a smile, thinking that she was amazing, while some people frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
Seeing this, Fengqin quickly said, "I don't understand, but the village cadres do! We rely on translation!"
Having said that, Fengqin said to the village cadres, "Uncle, please translate for us later."
The village cadre smiled and said, "I'm the translator! Don't worry!" As he said this, he patted his chest.
Everyone could only say that the village cadres' translation ability was really limited.
With limited translation available, the doctor guided the pregnant woman to lie on a nearby medical bed, gestured to her to lift her belly, and said to the village cadres, "Please translate for me: the clothes on the belly must be lifted up, and nothing should be covered."
"What?" the village official asked, "Can you be simpler?"
Upon seeing this, Yi Hanxing quickly pointed at the probe and said to the village cadres, "Look at this closely to your belly! No clothes can be placed on your belly!"
The village cadres immediately understood what was going on and shouted to the people around them, "All men, get out! Get out!"
"What's going on?" the onlookers asked the village officials.
"The doctor wants to check your stomach!" said the village official.
The villagers are still relatively conservative. Fortunately, the obstetrician and gynecologist who came here was also a woman. Upon hearing this, the pregnant woman's husband drove everyone else away. However, there was a problem. The uncle who knew how to translate was also a man.
Seeing this, the doctor said to the village cadres, "Tell her to cooperate with us. Go away first and translate after we are done."
The village official reassured, "Should I leave? Or wait for the translation?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
The village cadres immediately told the pregnant woman’s family that they had to leave first and would translate for them after the doctor finished examining her.
Therefore, during the entire ultrasound process, the pregnant woman's family could only watch the doctor operate.
While the doctor was examining the child, Fengqin asked, "Doctor, where is the child's head now?"
Yi Hanxing immediately reacted: He is waiting here!
At the critical moment, the doctor improvised and educated Fengqin, saying, "People can't understand us talking. If I point at the screen and talk, they might think there's something wrong with the child and get anxious. So, let's just stop talking and wait for the translation."
Yi Hanxing praised the doctor's wit.
After being retorted by the doctor, Fengqin kept silent.
After the doctor repeatedly confirmed the images, he asked the pregnant woman to sit up and found a village cadre to translate.
"Doctor? How is it?
"The village cadres asked hurriedly when they saw people coming out.
The doctor said, "Don't worry, I'll ask them a few more questions."
"Yes, yes, the doctor will definitely ask questions when you see him," the village official said, translating, "The doctor wants to ask you a few questions."
"Why are you still asking questions? Isn't this machine like a magic mirror? You can tell anything at a glance, right?" the villagers asked.
"Yes, yes, did you see it in there? Was it photographed clearly?"
"What's clear? The screen inside is black and I can't even tell what's what." said a woman who saw it.
"Ah~" The villagers were a little disappointed when they heard this.
However, the doctor asked the pregnant woman's family a lot of questions, all about how it felt to be pregnant this time and the previous pregnancies.
After asking these questions, the doctor casually asked, "Come to think of it, you and your wife look quite similar. Are you brother and sister?"
The casual question didn't raise anyone's eyebrows. The villagers chatted at once, and the village official, without the need for a translator, addressed the doctor directly, "They're not brother and sister, but they're almost like brother and sister. Their grandparents were all brother and sister. We were all like that decades ago, but now everyone's paying a lot more attention."
Anyone who has a little knowledge of Chinese culture will understand that this is China's particularly traditional way of getting married - exchange marriage.
The doctor nodded when he heard this, and Yi Hanxing immediately realized that the parents of these two people were not related by blood, but these two people were closely related by blood!
It's like if A, B, B, C, D, and D each had children: AB, BA, CD, and DC. Then, they pair up and say AB and CD have a son, ABCD, and BA and DC have a daughter, BADC. ABCD then marries BADC, and their genes become highly identical. This means their children are more likely to have genetic problems.
Sure enough, the doctor said to the village cadres: "Please think about how to translate what I am going to say to you next. Don't rush to tell them."
The doctor spoke slowly, making sure the village officials understood before continuing, "Their parents aren't closely related by blood, so they could have healthy children. But these two are actually quite closely related, so their child is very likely to have problems. After my examination, the child currently appears to be fine, with all his arms and legs intact. But it's hard to say what the baby will be like after birth. The best solution for them is to divorce and remarry, and be with someone who isn't related for several generations. Otherwise, there's a high chance of problems later."
Upon hearing this, the village cadres were stunned: "This... this..."
"You go back and treat them well
Do some ideological work. This is because the two are too closely related by blood, and there is no way to cure it."
The organization has done a lot of educational work for the cadres in each village. The village cadres generally understand that there will be problems with children if siblings and cousins marry, but they had not thought about this aspect before. After the doctor's explanation, they understood it, but found it difficult to tell their fellow villagers.
Fengqin's eyes rolled slightly, and Yi Hanxing, who was observing secretly, immediately discovered her problem and secretly found the person in charge: "Look, Fengqin, you have to prevent someone from using this matter to incite the villagers."
The person in charge glanced at Fengqin and promised, "We will definitely pay attention."
The person in charge who said this and Yi Hanxing both thought that this would be a difficult task.
Unexpectedly, when everyone returned, the old professor at the base waved his hand and someone immediately arrested Fengqin.
"What happened?" Everyone looked at each other, even Yi Hanxing and the person in charge who had just talked to were shocked.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask," the old professor said. "You all go back."
Seeing Fengqin being gagged and taken away, everyone had no choice but to disperse.
"Hanxing, you had a physical examination. How was it?" the old professor asked, leaving Yi Hanxing behind.
No one was confused. After all, they went out to check Yi Hanxing's body. When the old professor heard about it, it was normal for him to ask, so he left Yi Hanxing and the old professor together.
After everyone left, the old professor changed his previous kind expression and said to Yi Hanxing: "You are really confused!"
Yi Hanxing: With your acting skills, I think you can compete for the Best Actor award!
Thinking this in his mind, Yi Hanxing did not say anything, waiting for the old professor's subsequent remarks.
Sure enough, the old professor continued to lecture: "You all think that there is something wrong with Fengqin and Hua Jiuchun, and you still want to pretend to be nice to her. What are you thinking?"
"Did you also catch Hua Jiuchun?" asked the leader of the outbound team.
"Why not keep it for the New Year?" The old professor glanced at him.
The person in charge kept silent.
The old professor continued, "I don't know the rules of your intelligence lines. I think you haven't arrested anyone because you're afraid of alerting the enemy, or you're planning to play the long game and catch a bigger fish. But I feel that your approach may be suitable in other places, but it's a complete waste here!"
"Don't you think about it? Our base is isolated. As long as we don't let anyone out and there's electromagnetic interference, how can any information get out? Why worry about alerting the enemy?" The old professor continued, "As for playing the long game to catch the big fish, the people who receive the information later may just be small fry. Have you ever considered that they are the biggest fish? How many spies are more important than the undercover personnel in this top-secret scientific research base?"
Yi Hanxing quickly praised:
"No wonder the organization asked you to be the leader of our base. Your thinking is so clear! That's right! What you said is absolutely right." If the old professor did not have the highest authority in the base, it would be impossible for him to arrest someone with just a few words.
The old professor squinted his eyes and said, "Don't be afraid of flattery!"
After saying this, the old professor continued to ask, "What other reasons do you have for not arresting people? Tell me everything."
Yi Hanxing answered honestly, "It's mainly because we caught a spy before who mentioned Aizi. I think the spy's style is very similar to Aizi's spies, so I want to see if I can find Aizi."
"Aiko? Japanese?" The old professor frowned.
"I don't know if he's Japanese, Korean, or Chinese, but he has a Japanese name and was trained as a spy in Japan." Yi Hanxing replied, "This is the top spy from the Japanese 'Red' agency that we discovered over a decade ago. He has never been exposed, and we have every reason to suspect he's still operating within our borders."
"So for the sake of your beloved son, you want to keep Fengqin and the others?" asked the old professor.
Yi Hanxing and the person in charge both nodded.
"You're mistaken," the old professor said. "Since Aiko is still in Japan, and considering Japan's current state of decay, she must be serving the United States."
"That's very likely." Yi Hanxing affirmed.
"If you're serving the United States, then I know you're better off using coercion and bribery than fishing here. They don't have any faith. What's more important than life and money?" The old professor said with certainty, "When we were in the United States, I suffered the least. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because my family is rich!" the old professor said with a hint of pride. "I paid enough bribes, found famous lawyers to protest constantly, and bought newspaper space to incite people. The Americans didn't dare to kill me!"
"I give this example to tell you that when it comes to talking about money with the Americans' lackeys, most problems can be solved. If that doesn't work, then talking about their lives will do!"
The old professor said this with confidence: "Just wait for me to interrogate you!"
"Wait! Professor! We can't torture someone to extract a confession!"
"Don't worry! My psychological tactics are in compliance with regulations!" said the old professor casually.
Yi Hanxing and the person in charge looked at each other, both with a hint of worry.
Facts have proved that he is really capable.
"The confession materials are all here. It's confirmed that Fengqin is not a Japanese spy, but from Taiwan. She and her ex-husband were both. Because her ex-husband was exposed, she pretended to report him and gained his trust. In addition, her own research ability is indeed outstanding, so she stayed."
As he said this, the old professor continued to curse: "These Taiwanese people are really not human! How can they look down on women?
What are they thinking? Instead of training a good female scientist, they send her here to be a spy!
Yi Hanxing thought of how the female spies of the Three People's Party during the Anti-Japanese War also used many methods of sexual intercourse, and couldn't help but sigh: "Because they are divided into different classes, women are naturally included in the hierarchy."
The only regime in this world that truly believes that everyone is equal is the red regime.
After saying this, Yi Hanxing continued to ask: "Is there something wrong with Fengqin's husband?"
"Probably not," the old professor said. "His behavior is logical. He's probably just being used as a shield."
Yi Hanxing accepted this answer, but couldn't figure it out: "Then who hates me so much? There's no intersection in Fengqin's resume." Yi Hanxing flipped through the interrogation records and really couldn't figure it out.
The old professor said, "Although Fengqin hasn't admitted it, she did say that she was actually her ex-husband's concubine. I wonder if she was adopted by the maid you mentioned? Or maybe they were sisters?"
"It's impossible that he was adopted." Yi Hanxing flatly denied: "The age is wrong!"
"As for the sisterhood..." Yi Hanxing was puzzled: "Let's not talk about who is the older sister and who is the younger sister. Just say that they can change their husbands and still live a real life. She is such an open-minded person. How could what I did make her so angry that she would risk being exposed to frame me?" Yi Hanxing felt that the other party was at least a paranoid person, but based on Fengqin's experience, she was obviously not that kind of person.
"Let's report this first, and we'll figure it out later." The old professor was very open-minded. "You're in here anyway, and their people can't get in. How many spies have research talent? We have control of the information, so we have plenty of time to think."
As he said this, the old professor stood up and said, "The first jar of hot and sour radish in the cafeteria is out today. I really want to taste it."
Yi Hanxing was startled for a moment: "I remember Zhou Yuetong gossiping with me before, saying that Fengqin sponsored Hua Jiuchun and paid tuition for him and several other needy students?"
The old professor nodded: "It is true. Fengqin also explained it."
"So is Hua Jiuchun's family a city poor or a village farmer?" Yi Hanxing asked this because during the Republic of China period, except for the landlords, it was difficult for villagers to afford the cost of their children's education. In comparison, the working-class families in big cities were much better off. Families with large populations could still support their younger sons to go to school after their older children became laborers.
"Let me find some information." said the intelligence officer.
"No need to look for it." The old professor searched his memory palace for a while and said with certainty, "His family were farmers at first, and then moved to the city when he was about ten years old."
After hearing this, Yi Hanxing immediately raised a question: "If that's the case, why can't he even recognize the leaves of a radish?"
Everyone who heard this was shocked.
“For a child to not know the five grains, he must have been studying at home all the time, otherwise he would not be completely unfamiliar with them. The old professor said: “His family can’t even afford the money for his studies, and he has no relatives. It is impossible that he has never worked. How could he not even know the leaves of a radish?
As he said this, the old professor knew in his heart: "This Hua Jiuchun may be a bigger problem than Fengqin. I didn't expect that I, who hunts geese all day, would be so foolish.
"You mean, Fengqin covered up for Hua Jiuchun?" the intelligence officer speculated.
Yi Hanxing disagreed: "I think it's very likely a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
"How do you say that?
"They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Everyone has witnessed that Wanwan is indeed Fengqin's biological child. I will teach Wanwan those things...
"It's either Hua Jiuchun or the Leng family!
"This Hua Jiuchun is very suspicious. After all, he has always been Wanwan's 'father'. In order to protect her father, the little girl will definitely lie. In comparison, the Leng family does not have such a big face.
"But what grudge do you have with him and Han Xing?
Yi Hanxing found a very ancient memory: "I remember that the concubine often sent money back to her parents' home, saying that her younger brother had entered a private school and was praised by the teacher, so she wanted to spend money to send him to a better private school. At that time, modern education had not yet been popularized in these inland areas, and private schools were still the main form of education. Because the degree to which the other party supported her younger brother was amazing, Yi Hanxing could still remember it to this day: "Let's do the math. If the other party's younger brother has just started school, then he should be about the same age as Hua Jiuchun? !
