Chapter 89: Chase.

After Wei Jian left, Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo both looked unhappy.

"We need to investigate this Wei Jian, his identity is very suspicious." Shi Tingyu said, "He has been testing me just now."

Lu Weiguo nodded, this was not what he was most worried about.

He felt something was wrong when Wei Jian came to see Shi Tingyu's paintings today.

If he liked his wife's paintings normally, why didn't he ask to see them when the murals were just painted, but asked to see them now.

He suspected that Wei Jian came here this time because of the portrait of the little spy leader.

He was testing whether his wife was the one who painted the portrait.

Thinking of this, Lu Weiguo was restless. He stood up and said, "Wife, you stay at home first. I'll go to the camp."

Shi Tingyu didn't hold back at this time. She said, "Okay, you go quickly. Business is more important."

Lu Weiguo changed his shoes and left in a hurry.

Zhao Tuan was a little surprised to see Lu Weiguo. "Didn't you take a rest today? Why are you back?"

Lu Weiguo told Zhao Tuan about Wei Jian's visit to his home today.

"Captain Zhao, I suspect there is something wrong with Wei Jian's identity."

Captain Zhao frowned and said, "According to what you said, Wei Jian's behavior is indeed a bit strange, but there is no evidence that he has a problem. If it were an ordinary person, we could arrest him first and then try him, but Wei Jian is from the Weapons Research Institute, so it's not that easy to arrest him."

Lu Weiguo walked around the captain's office and finally said, "It takes time to find evidence. If we can't arrest him first, we have to find someone to keep an eye on him. We can't do nothing."

"I know what you said makes sense, but it's not easy to deal with the Weapons Research Institute." Captain Zhao believed in his soldiers, but Wei Jian was different. He was not an ordinary researcher, and he had achievements in his hands.

He gave orders based on a guess, and it was difficult for him to explain to his superiors.

He didn't have the final say in this military region.

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask the leader."

Lu Weiguo had no other choice but to hope that Zhao Tuan could convince the leader to send someone to detain Wei Jian first. Even if he couldn't detain him, at least he had to send someone to keep an eye on him.

Before Wei Jian left, he could still see that the other party probably didn't realize that he was exposed.

But that was the situation at the time. Who knew if the other party would review the situation after leaving his house and thus realize that he was exposed.

Zhao Tuan was gone for an hour.

When he came back, it was almost dark.

"How is it, captain?" Lu Weiguo asked anxiously.

Zhao Tuan's face was not good. Just when Lu Weiguo thought that the plan had failed, he said, "It is impossible to arrest him. I persuaded the leader to send someone to keep an eye on him first."

Lu Weiguo said, "Then send someone quickly. I suspect Wei Jian will review the situation after returning. If he finds that he has been exposed, it will be difficult for us to catch him."

Zhao Tuan did not hesitate much. He looked at Lu Weiguo and said, "You and your wife discovered this matter. You are fully responsible for keeping an eye on him."

If this plan succeeds, it will also be a credit.

If Wei Jian is fine, it can't be blamed on Xiao Lu. In Jinling, spies are a very sensitive issue.

If you feel there is a problem and don't report it, it will be a fatal matter.

After receiving the order, Lu Weiguo hurried down to make arrangements.

Every second longer, Wei Jian would be in danger of escaping.

By the time he had arranged everything and returned home, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Only then did he feel hungry.

When Shi Tingyu saw him coming back, she did not ask about Wei Jian, but went to the kitchen to bring back the warm meal.

When the meal was served on the table, Lu Weiguo reached out and hugged Shi Tingyu in his arms, and could not help but kissed her, "Wife, I'm sorry that you have to eat alone again."

Shi Tingyu hugged his waist and said softly, "It doesn't matter, I'm just a little worried that irregular eating habits may be bad for your health."

As for whether they could eat together, as long as he was fine, she didn't care.

Lu Weiguo smiled and said, "Next time I go back to my hometown, I will burn some incense in front of my ancestors' tombs to thank them for blessing me and marrying such a good wife."

Shi Tingyu couldn't help but hit him, "You are talking nonsense again. If you dare to burn incense now, I will drag you out for criticism."

She was very sensitive to these things now.

At this time, Lu Weiguo's stomach growled.

Shi Tingyu hurriedly urged him to eat, and she accompanied him.

Seeing that he had eaten all the food, Shi Tingyu was very satisfied.

Lu Weiguo had a late dinner and went to bed a little later.

During this time, he and Shi Tingyu packed up all the drawings and other things.

Knowing that Wei Jian came for the drawings, it would be better to put them away. It is better to be safe than sorry.

In the middle of the night, Shi Tingyu was half asleep and seemed to hear someone knocking on the door, accompanied by the sound of a sharp sword.

She tried to open her eyes and saw the man next to her getting dressed.

Shi Tingyu's mind cleared up for a moment, "What's wrong? Who's knocking on the door?"

Lu Weiguo leaned over and kissed her on the lips, "It's okay, go to sleep first."

Shi Tingyu was not so easy to fool, she tugged at his clothes, "Tell the truth."

Lu Weiguo sat down beside the bed and stroked her head again and again, "Good girl, it's really nothing. After Wei Jian left, we asked someone to keep an eye on him. Now there should be some movement over there."

Shi Tingyu let go of her hand and said with some concern: "Be careful."

"Yeah."

Lu Weiguo agreed, closed the door and left.

Outside the courtyard gate, a young soldier was waiting at the door. When he saw Lu Weiguo coming out, he hurried forward and whispered: "Captain, Wei Jian is missing."

"Tell me the details." Lu Weiguo frowned.

The young soldier was also a little annoyed. "When you ordered us to keep an eye on Wei Jian, we divided into two groups, one to keep an eye on the dormitory of the weapons research institute, and the other to keep an eye on the institute."

"Who knows? People at the weapons research institute said that it was past eleven o'clock and no one had come out yet. We sent someone to the research institute to check, but Wei Jian was not there at all. And there was no one in the dormitory the whole time."

The professors and scholars at the research institute were very hardworking. They wished they could do research without eating or sleeping.

China had already suffered the loss of being beaten for falling behind. The more they worked, the more progress they could make in weapons. Not to mention after eleven o'clock, when someone's research had made progress, many people stayed up all night.

If they were not afraid of delaying things, they would not easily go to the research institute to verify even in the early morning, not to mention after eleven o'clock, for fear of alerting the enemy.

Lu Weiguo hesitated for a moment and said, "First, send a few people to the research institute to find out if Wei Jian has any relatives or friends, and see if he has gone to someone else's house. Also, send people to track him down at all the intersections, and bring military dogs."

He had a hunch that Wei Jian had probably run away.

When he left their house, the other party would probably find out that he was exposed.

It was not even five o'clock at that time, and now it was almost twelve o'clock. Seven hours had passed, and he might not be in Jinling anymore.
