The main reason why Mai Laosan was arrested was because he brought too many sewing machines.

In the past, the staff at the train station might have just turned a blind eye and let it go.

After all, sewing machines are not dangerous items.

But hasn’t the capital city been cracking down recently?

Then the nature of this is different, the slightest clue may be magnified!

Mai Laosan's trip to Beijing was a private one, and the letter of introduction that Mai Xiangdong gave them said "visiting relatives."

Tell me, who would bring so many sewing machines when visiting relatives?

It's obvious that there's a problem, if we don't arrest you, who else should we arrest?

Moreover, there are many parts in the sewing machine, some of which can be used to assemble radio equipment.

Many spies rely on radio equipment to communicate.

It was difficult for Mai Laosan to explain. Should he say that these were all things he was going to sell on the black market?

Then we must confiscate it from him!

So, Mai Lao San could only bite the bullet and insist that he was just here to visit relatives!

...........

Zhou Jianbo and Wang Dali, who had just returned from the train station after arresting someone, were in a very good mood.

Today their team has arrested seven people in total, one of whom has been confirmed to be a spy, and the others are still being interrogated.

Zhou Jianbo: "I think Mai Xiangxi is also suspicious. Look at the clothes and shoes he wears. He doesn't look like a farmer at all. He doesn't even pretend to be one."

Wang Dali felt the same way and nodded in agreement, "That's right! If all spies were of this level, we would have a lot less trouble!"

"And his name, Mai Xiangxi, means marching towards the Western powers. It sounds very reactionary!"

"Indeed! He doesn't sound like a good person just by hearing the name!"

"I also heard that Hou Aihua has encountered several waves of assassination attempts. It seems that there is something on this person that has not been dug out. The spy organization wants to kill him to silence him!"

"Do you think this Mai Xiangxi is a killer hired by the secret service organization?

Those things he carries with him, if reassembled, might turn out to be a sniper rifle."

"Don't tell me, it's really possible! Anyway, I don't believe it. That thing is a sewing machine."

"That's right. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've probably seen a pig run. How could we not know what a sewing machine looks like?"

"Does he still think he's so smart and is playing us for fools?"

"Hahaha, if he falls into our hands this time, we will make sure he never comes back!"

Zhou Jianbo and Wang Dali are both grown men and don't usually use sewing machines.

In their impression, sewing machines are not like this at all.

Even though Lotus brand sewing machines have entered the Beijing market, their quantities are limited and they are all traded on the black market.

It's normal that Zhou Jianbo and his friends don't go to the black market and don't know about it.

Just as the two were dreaming of making merit and getting promoted, Zhong Youfu in the interrogation room suddenly ran past them like a gust of wind.

It just so happened that the Minister of Armed Forces Zhou Zhengting had just returned from outside after finishing his work.

As soon as Zhou Zhengting entered the office building of the Armed Forces Department, Zhong Youfu rushed forward to report:

"Minister, a man was arrested at the train station today. His name is Mai Xiangxi. He said his daughter is Mai Sui."

"Wheat Ear? Is it the wheat ear we know? Have you asked clearly?"

"I asked clearly. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to inform you."

"What's the point of you notifying me? Just release the person immediately and comfort him! As for me... I will pretend that I don't know anything about this."

Zhong Youfu heard this, his expression was somewhat complicated, and he stammered:

"Of course we have to release him, but... when he was caught at the train station, he might have been a little uncooperative, and then..."

Zhou Zhengting frowned tightly, and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Was the beating serious?"

He knew that the people under him were under a lot of pressure recently, so it was easy for them to overreact in their actions.

Yesterday, I accidentally beat a teacher into the hospital.

In the end, after making amends and apologizing, the matter was finally settled.

All I can say is that people in the armed forces are also human beings, and as human beings they are bound to make mistakes.

But the person being beaten today was Mai Sui’s father.

Mai Sui has been very popular recently, and the armed forces department is full of legends about her.

If it is not handled properly, it may not be as simple as just apologizing.

Thinking back to the time when their armed forces first dealt with Mai Sui, it was also on the train. Before their men could even make a move, Mai Sui knocked out three of their soldiers.

The reason was simply because she didn't like having a gun pointed at her.

Now, they have beaten up someone's own father. With Mai Sui's temper, can he let it go easily?

To be on the safe side, Zhou Zhengting decided to go to the interrogation room himself.

As soon as the door of the interrogation room was opened, Zhou Zhengting saw that Mai Laosan's eyes were swollen like a panda, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

I have to say that the methods used in the capital are much more severe than those in the Southeast Military Region.

The last time Mai Laosan was captured by Song Jinghui, he was not beaten so badly.

Mai Hongcai: That's because I was there to carry the burden for you! I was beaten twice!

Zhou Zhengting silently turned his head and looked at Zhong Youfu next to him: Is this what you mean by not serious?

Zhong Youfu touched his nose guiltily: Compared with the previous teacher, it’s indeed not serious, at least the bones are not broken.

Zhou Zhengting:.......

He felt that a clause must be added to the action team's management regulations: you cannot hit people in the face!

If something like this happens again in the future, and the injury is hidden, it will be easier for them to explain.

Zhou Zhengting adjusted his mood, forced out a friendly smile, strode forward and shook Mai Laosan's hand tightly.

"Comrade Mai Xiangxi, I'm so sorry. I'm Zhou Zhengting, the Minister of the Armed Forces. I've just understood the situation. It's all a misunderstanding!"

When Mai Lao San heard that the visitor was the Minister of Armed Forces, he was somewhat flattered. He immediately shook hands with the other party and said excitedly:

"Leader, I feel relieved when you say that. My daughter and son are both soldiers, and my son-in-law is also in the military research institute. I can't be a spy!"

Mai Laosan didn't know that Mai Sui was already famous in Beijing, and he thought that the other party was efficient and could have investigated the matter so quickly.

"Yes, yes, of course you can't be a spy. To be honest, I know Mai Sui, so I feel very bad about what happened to you.

It's just that the spies in the capital have been rampant recently, and the people below are a little nervous, so they didn't take the actions lightly. Please don't blame me!"

Zhou Zhengting, as the Minister of Armed Forces, was extremely humble in front of Mai Laosan. His attitude was so sincere and his words were so earnest that Mai Laosan felt embarrassed.

So he waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, just investigate it clearly."

Zhou Zhengting was delighted to see that Mai Lao San was so easy to talk to, and immediately stated his real purpose:

"Then when you see Mai Sui later, can you say a few good words for me?"
