But I was thinking too much. I set up all the anti-theft designs and waited at the base until night, but there was no movement from the USB drive.
Lu Xianning was tired of playing computer games and kept changing her posture as she sat next to me. "How long will it take? Aren't we leaving?"
I am organizing the information about the medical insurance vehicle:
"What? You want to go back?"
"Tomorrow is the International Pharmaceutical Exchange Conference. You don't want me to go there with dark circles under my eyes, do you?"
I stopped what I was doing and said, "Okay! I'll take you back."
Lu Xianning and I left the office and when we came to the yard, I smelled the scent of burning paper.
Why are people still burning paper at this hour of night?
Today is not the Ghost Festival or anything like that.
Besides, this is not safe?
Out of curiosity, I walked towards the place where the smoke was coming from, and saw a man with a small cart full of papers next to him. A man was guarding the stove and burning documents.
There was someone standing guard at the door.
"Engineer Zheng!" The two guards saw me and greeted me.
"You are here..."
"We are destroying unused documents here."
"oh?"
I suddenly thought of the file I gave to Lu Xianning.
If someone has access to blueprints or something, it would be much easier than stealing.
"Can I go in and take a look?"
"Of course you can go in. You are a senior engineer at the base."
When I walked in, the person burning the paper ignored me and continued burning.
The information has been shredded into pieces by a shredder.
He didn't turn his head until I grabbed a handful of information.
"Abba, Abba!" The person burning the paper pointed at my documents and gestured that he was going to burn them.
The guard said to me, "Old Li is deaf-mute."
I nodded and handed him the file.
This time he burned much faster.
I had an idea and checked his body, but there was not even a cell phone, no electronic signal at all.
Oh! I thought too much.
I turned to leave when another young man came over and was startled when he saw me: "Engineer Zheng!"
He was wearing the same work clothes as Lao Li.
"Are you all here to handle confidential documents?"
"Yes! We are actually the cleaners of the base, and burning these is our job."
He looks to be in his early twenties, and he is willing to be a cleaner?
I was moved and also probed him.
Three electronic signals?
I suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at him: "Don't move!"
This time, I confused everyone.
"Guards! Arrest him!"
The young man suddenly tilted his head, but I was already on guard! I raised my leg and kicked him.
Um?
My kick was fast enough, but he was able to dodge it!
Then I felt cold and Lao Li bumped into me from the side.
But before he could get close, a guard knocked Lao Li to the ground with the barrel of his gun.
Taking advantage of this moment, the young man had already climbed onto the stove and wanted to jump out the window to escape.
I raised my hand and fired a shot. The young man screamed, was shot in the thigh, and fell down.
Another guard came up and held the man down.
Lu Xianning also ran in: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
I walked up to the young man, unzipped his clothes, and saw a storage device connected to the buttons.
I took the system down: "Take it away!"
The spy was caught, and the news quickly spread throughout the base. Even the commander of the Zhan Army came.
He still couldn't believe it: "Why is it Lao Li and Xiao Li?"
It turned out that the two were uncle and nephew, both from nearby villages.
The base felt sorry for Lao Li and asked him to do odd jobs and sweep the yard at the military industrial base.
Xiao Li is his nephew. He dropped out of school before finishing junior high school and wanted to join the army. However, he failed the physical examination because of a congenital heart disease.
But he likes the army and always comes to help Lao Li with work.
After a few visits, the base took him in. Unexpectedly, they were all spies.
We conducted a surprise inspection of Xiao Li's home and found many eavesdropping and secret camera equipment.
All these devices were placed in a secret compartment on the ceiling. The compartment was very cleverly designed. If it weren't for me, it would have taken some effort to find it.
Everyone thought the spy had been caught, but I was staring at Xiao Li's computer in a daze.
According to them, Xiao Li had never been out of the village for a long time, but many of the software on this computer were not something that someone who had not even graduated from junior high school could operate.
If he wants to learn, who should he learn from?
I asked the people at the base to find the village chief.
The old village chief must have known about what was happening here on his way here. He was so terrified when he came in that he almost knelt down in front of me:
"Government! We didn't know Erdan was a spy. He has nothing to do with us."
"Don't be afraid. I want to know who Xiao Li is close to."
"No one? His parents died early, and he was raised by his second uncle."
A deaf-mute, teach him to use these?
"Think about it again."
"If there's anyone who really is that close, it's Teacher He from our village. They're very close, and Teacher He is a very kind person. She often gives him extra lessons and takes good care of him."
I looked at Engineer Feng, who immediately ordered, "Please invite Teacher He over."
After giving the order, Engineer Feng said to me, "Teacher He has great prestige in this area."
I nodded, but I hadn't yet determined that it was someone else, so I should be cautious.
But soon, the two soldiers who had gone out came back and said, "Oh no! Teacher He is missing."
The village chief almost fainted when he heard this:
"This, this... they have nothing to do with our village! How come our village suddenly has three spies? We can't live like this anymore."
