The secret war is silent

Late at night.

Luo Yao was really sleepy and couldn't help but take a nap. When he opened his eyes, he found Lu Wei lying on the hospital bed with an expression that seemed to be moaning in pain.

Lu Wei, how are you? Luo Yao quickly stood up, walked over, leaned down, and asked softly.

water……

People with fever are already thirsty, and Lu Wei was injured and lost too much blood, although blood transfusions and fluid rehydration were later provided.

But his body is still very dehydrated.

However, in his current condition, he cannot replenish his body fluids by drinking water, but can only replenish his body fluids through infusions.

Of course, although you cannot drink water directly, you can use a cotton ball dipped in water to moisten your lips. This is okay.

Luo Yao dipped a cotton ball in water and wiped it twice on Lu Wei's lips. After the chapped lips were moistened by the water, Lu Wei's mouth squeaked a few times. Maybe he still wanted it, and his consciousness became stronger. Slowly he opened his eyes.

When he saw that the person in front of him was Luo Yao, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: Sir Luo, why is it you?

Can you speak?

Give me some more water...

No, you just woke up from the operation. You can't drink water. You can only use cotton balls dipped in water to moisturize your lips. Otherwise, it will affect the recovery of your injury. Luo Yao said.

Then moisturize it for me, my throat is too dry and uncomfortable. Lu Wei said with difficulty.

Luo Yao nodded, dipped a cotton ball in water and moistened it again.

Sir Luo, around October last year, someone came to me and wanted me to help deliver a message to someone in the mansion. The other person was too unfamiliar, so I didn't agree. However, he came to me again later and said that it was There was an emergency at home and the postal route was blocked, so I had to come over in person to deliver the message. I asked him what message he was delivering, and he said that Wang Youmei's mother was seriously ill and he hoped to see her.

As far as I know, the residence's external correspondence is not prohibited, it just needs to be strictly censored. How come the postal route is blocked?

That's because the Japanese were attacking eastern Zhejiang and northern Fujian at that time. There was a war going on there, so naturally the postal route was blocked. Lu Wei explained, Wang Youmei's hometown is in eastern Zhejiang.

You agreed?

I didn't know Wang Youmei at the time, but I saw that there was nothing wrong with the other person's message, so I agreed to give him a try...

Slow down, don't rush.

Later, I found out that Wang Youmei was in the cleaning team of Yunxiu Tower, so I looked for an opportunity to find her and told her the message.

What is the identity of the person who is looking for you?

He said he was Wang Youmei's cousin. I didn't have much doubt about this identity. After all, I was just a messenger. Later, I found out that the man who was looking for me was called Qi Bin and he was from Zhongtong. , or a wanted criminal!

Qi Bin?

This situation made Luo Yao's heart jump. The situation Lu Wei confessed really surprised him.

I also saw it from the wanted poster. Otherwise, I wouldn't know who this person was who was looking for me.

Luo Yao nodded. According to Lu Wei, the time when Qi Bin was wanted was not long ago. If time had passed, he might have seen it but might not be able to remember it. After all, he and Qi Bin were just the same before and after. Only met twice.

You have only met Qi Bin twice, why did they want to kill you?

After Qi Bin was wanted, I went to see Wang Youmei, and then I was threatened by her. She told me that if I went to report her, she would be finished, and I would not have a good result. I knew that if Wang Youmei was really arrested, If he catches her, I will definitely be dragged into the trap by him. I was scared and obsessed for a moment, so I agreed to her and became her liaison with the outside world. At this point, Lu Wei's eyes were filled with regret.

No wonder they want to kill you. Luo Yao nodded.

After Qi Bin was wanted, how did Wang Youmei let you contact people outside? Luo Yao asked.

I use my power of purchasing to freely enter and leave the mansion. When she needs to go out, she will send me a message and ask me to rent a loft facing the street on Mishi Street. Using the window switch of the loft as a signal, if Wang Youmei is the second When I go out on the first day, I will open the window of the attic facing the street to the sky. If it is one-third, it means meeting at nine o'clock in the morning, and two-thirds means meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Youmei has a key to the attic. , I also have one. I use this attic as a temporary resting place when I go shopping. The mansion’s daily rice, vegetables, and meat supplies are purchased from Mishi Street every day to ensure the freshness of the ingredients... …”

You don't need to tell me these words. You can provide me with some useful information. Luo Yao asked.

I don't want to be threatened and put my destiny in the hands of others, so I am also curious about who contacted Wang Youmei after Qi Bin was wanted. So, as long as Wang Youmei asks me to send a message, I will sit at the window Later, I quietly observed the people passing by under the window, but this method was too stupid and basically yielded no results. Later, I changed a method. After I mastered the rules and times of their appointments, within this time, I raided the attic, and finally one time, I blocked someone in the attic, and I saw that person.”

Were you beaten? Luo Yao's mind came to mind when he knew Lu Wei and Xiaorou had mentioned that time when Lu Wei's forehead was injured.

That's right, that's when I was beaten. Wang Youmei didn't take action. I, a grown man, was beaten to a bloody head by a woman. I had no power to fight back. If the other party hadn't been merciful, he would have gone back for fear of seriously injuring me. Explain the method.

That means you are still valuable. If you are killed, they will be exposed. Luo Yao said, Can you still remember what that woman looks like?

remember.

Describe it. Luo Yao took a pencil and paper and prepared to make a portrait sketch.

She has an oval face, her chin is slightly rounded, her skin is very good, her eyes are big and beautiful, her nose is slightly straight forward, she is wearing a hat, and her hair must be tied up... Lu Wei's memory is still good, bit by bit. The child's memories came back.

Is that so?

The lower lip should be tightened, the left eyebrow should be lighter, and the corners of the eyes should be raised a little higher. Lu Wei looked at it.

Luo Yao followed Lu Wei's instructions. After revising it, he brought it to him and said, Look, how does it look now?

Like, it's her. Lu Wei insisted.

Luo Yao frowned, he had seen this woman before.

Do you still remember the day you met her? Luo Yao asked.

I can't remember the exact date, but I remember it was before the Chinese New Year, somewhere in the middle of the twelfth lunar month. Lu Wei recalled.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the Gregorian calendar should have entered the 41st year. That period happened to be after Gong Hui was assassinated. Suqing was not suspected at first. It was not until the forged letter identified by the teacher Yu Jie that Suqing returned to her own life. He suspected the time and took the person back to the mountain city for investigation.

Logically speaking, she had no chance to escape surveillance and go out, unless this woman was not Su Qing, but disguised herself as Su Qing to see Wang Youmei.

In this way, the identity of this woman remains a mystery, but there is no doubt that there must be something wrong with Su Qing. Otherwise, why would she disguise herself as her?

Did she tell you her identity?

No.

Okay, you can rest. If you can think of anything else, feel free to tell me. Luo Yao could also see that Lu Wei was in poor spirits and it was not appropriate to continue questioning him. He had to rest.

Yes. Lu Wei slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while. However, Xiaorou, who was on the bed next to him, had been sleeping soundly and didn't notice.

What happened on this day was too thrilling for a girl. She may have never encountered it in her life.

Not to mention, she was pregnant and very tired.

Luo Yao looked at the time and saw that it was almost half past two in the morning. He was a little sleepy himself, so he put two chairs together and took a nap.

At this moment, I believe that the eyes of the people standing guard outside were as wide as brass bells, and they did not dare to be careless in any way.

Two or three hours passed in a flash, and I felt a slight noise in the room. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was Xiaorou who had woken up and was walking around the room.

Looking out the window again, it was already dark, and it was probably not long before dawn.

Miss Xiaorou, how are you resting?

Fortunately, the bed in the hospital is just not as comfortable as the one at home. Xiaorou said with a smile.

I'll have someone take you back in a while. Just leave Lu Wei's place to our people to take care of you. Luo Yao said, In addition, we will arrange for someone to protect you. You shouldn't go to work recently. It's not good for you or Lu Wei. There are benefits.”

Then can I come see him?

While you are in the hospital, you can visit him, but you can only come once a day, and the time should not exceed half an hour. After all, he is our important prisoner. Luo Yao nodded in agreement.

Okay, thank you, sir. I'll wait for him to wake up, say a few words to him and then leave. Xiao Judao.

Luo Yao did not refuse.

…

Deputy Director Luo, the preliminary inspection results of the warhead are out. The bullet is reloaded. Fortunately, the warhead was not coated with poison. Otherwise, Lu Wei would have been dead. In addition, according to the deformation of the bullet and the relevant shooting distance estimate provided by Lu Wei, it is The shooting parameters of the Type 97 sniper rifle we have are basically consistent. Zhang Xiaozheng bought breakfast and came to Luo Yao, and by the way brought him the results of the technical inspection of the bullet taken out of Lu Wei's body.

Another Type 97 sniper rifle.

It seems that there is more than one Type 97 sniper rifle in Shancheng. In addition to the one captured from Qi Bin, there is also a second one.

Lu Wei woke up once last night. I asked some questions, and he also told me some information. Now you arrange for someone to escort Miss Xiaorou home and protect her safety. Follow me to the city.

Just the two of us?

No, there are others. I'll make a call first. Luo Yao shook his head and said. If the woman who met Lu Wei was really Su Qing, I'm afraid he and Zhang Xiaozheng might not be able to catch her, and they would have to call in someone.

good.

Gong Hui was still worried about Luo Yao, so she got up before dawn and called Jiang Xiaoyu. The two women drove to the Army General Hospital anxiously.

When the car arrived at the door, it happened to bump into Luo Yao and Zhang Xiaozheng who were about to leave.

Without saying a word, he drove his car and followed him.

Deputy Director Luo, Deputy Zhang, our car was being followed. They seemed to be following us at the entrance of the hospital. Gong Hui's undisguised following was immediately discovered by the driver who drove Luo Yao and Zhang Xiaozheng. .

It's okay, I'm one of you. Just drive your car and let her follow. How could Luo Yao not be able to tell who was in the car behind him.

This sleepy man brought a pillow and two helpers. Even if the person he called couldn't arrive in time, he would be more confident.

Deputy Director Luo, how do you know you are one of our own?

What if the enemy dares to drive his car directly to the entrance of the Army General Hospital and follow us so blatantly? Luo Yao said, If you don't believe me, you can look at the license plate number on the back to see if it is Shan·4565.

Zhang Xiaozheng opened the gap in the curtain of the rear compartment and took a look behind him. It was indeed the license plate number.

This is my Earth Research Institute's car. Do you think it is one of our own?

Awesome, I didn't even notice you read the license plate. How did you know that?

Luo Yao didn't answer. If he said he heard it, he wouldn't be afraid of scaring Zhang Xiaozheng. It's better to do less than to do more.

The car drove into the city.

In the morning, there were not many people on the street. The city woke up after a long night's sleep, and those who were running for a living had to get up early.

The sounds of hawking and shouting came and went.

The breakfast stalls on the roadside are steaming hot. It is the happiest thing to eat a bowl of hot noodles before going to work or returning home from the night shift.

In the past three years, this city has endured tremendous bloodshed and sacrifice, and the mottled traces left by the bombing can be seen everywhere on the streets.

However, the people did not retreat or fear, and still lived tenaciously and optimistically in this city and this land.

This land was developed and built with hard work by our ancestors. There is no reason for people to take it away casually.

Although Lao Lin's clinic is not open, Luo Yao knows that neither Lao Lin nor his daughter-in-law Hongyu are people who sleep in late.

Both of them should be up by now, probably having breakfast at home.

Knocking on the door, as expected by Luo Yao, Old Lin and his wife were having breakfast in the backyard of their home. When they heard a knock on the door, Old Lin's daughter-in-law Hongyu came over and opened the door.

Seeing Luo Yao outside the door, Hongyu was also startled, but immediately opened the door and let Luo Yao and others in.

Adjutant Zhang, the doctor in this clinic is a friend of mine, and he is also a non-staff member of the military command. Luo Yao explained to Zhang Xiaozheng.

Zhang Xiaozheng nodded. The members of the military command were very diverse. Anyone from any profession could be a member of the military command. He knew this.

Lao Lin, who was eating in the backyard, saw Luo Yao come in with Zhang Xiaozheng, Gong Hui and Jiang Xiaoyu. He was about to swallow a mouthful of gruel and almost spat it out in fear.

Mr. Qin and Miss Hui, why are you here? Lao Lin quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks and came over.

Let's borrow your place to talk about something. Luo Yao explained.

Oh, come with me then. Old Lin understood and led Luo Yao and others into his study. This is my study. The sound insulation effect is very good.

Go and eat. I'll call you if I need anything. Luo Yao nodded and ordered with a wave of his hand.

After Lao Lin left, Luo Yao took out the sketch of the face that Lu Wei had dictated when he woke up in the middle of the night, put it on the table and said, This is the clue provided by Lu Wei.

Su Qing! Gong Hui exclaimed in surprise, she recognized him at first sight.

Jiang Xiaoyu also recognized it, but she didn't shout out.
