Chapter 53: Looking Back in the Rain
"Brother Chen, Keming is drunk too much, I'll take him back first. You go back with us first. I'll send him back and then take you back?" The three of them came out of the "Qianhe" tavern.
Chen Miao and Four Yewen helped Tang Keming, who was drunk, get drunk, into the car, and turned to Chen Miao and said.
"No need, I'll walk by myself and dissipate the alcohol. When I'm tired of walking, I can just call a rickshaw to go back." Chen Miao declined.
"You're fine alone, right?" Four Yewen hesitated for a moment.
"What's the problem? If I'm like this, can anyone else get rid of the lust?" Chen Miao smiled, "You'll send Section Chief Tang back soon. If he vomits it in the car, it's enough trouble for you."
"Hahaha, okay, then be careful on the road." Four Yewen smirked. Seeing Tang Keming in the back car, he nodded, hurriedly got into the car, unscrewed the key, started the car and left.
Chen Miao was alone, but he was very safe. He was originally the Military Control Commission, and he had a clear way of assassinating the Military Control Commission.
Every assassination or assassination is designed and prepared. With his current identity and status, even if he is on the sanctions list of the Military Commission's "Anti-Traitor" brigade, it will not be so fast. Moreover, the current operations in the Military Commission's Shanghai District are basically in a stagnant stage.
Cao Lijun resigned, the new district mayor has not yet taken office, and Lao Zheng is temporarily in charge of the work. He really doesn't have to worry too much about his safety.
Chen Miao put away the smile on his face, and walked along the road with an old umbrella, towards Jing'an Temple. He gained a lot of money in this meal, at least he made all the interests of all kinds of people inside No. 76.
These two people came here to give him some popular science tonight.
There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Except for the street lights on the main road, the other alleys on the roadside are all black and there is no sight.
At this time, in addition to tobacco shops, gambling stalls, fireworks and entertainment venues, other businesses are closed and locked. In the depths of the alley, even the ghost shadow cannot be seen.
There are a small number of rickshaw drivers on the street, but those who take the bus at night have to be extra careful. These people don’t know where the cats sleep during the day, but when they come out at night, they may be doing what kind of livelihood they are doing.
Especially in the area where the western Shanghai crosses the border and builds roads, robbery, murder and robbery happen almost every day. How many serious people will wander on the streets in the middle of the night?
The thunderstorm that had been brewing for one night finally came down.
Fortunately, I was prepared when I went out and brought an umbrella. Otherwise, the thunderstorm would definitely be a drop in the fall.
Without deliberately walking that road, Chen Miao naturally passed by the gate of Jing'an Branch of Fumin Hospital.
He stopped and watched for a while. He could see that the building in the inpatient ward was still on, because he remembered it very clearly that it was the best ward in the entire hospital. There was a pot of daffodils on the windowsill, and the window seemed to be half open.
Click!
Suddenly there was a thunderous lightning!
The silver snake danced in an instant, illuminating the world into daylight.
A long figure appeared on the windowsill. It was Liang Xueqin. She probably found thunder and rain outside and came to close the windows. I don’t know if it was telepathy or coincidence.
With the help of the lightning bolt just now.
Chen Miao, who was standing across the road, looked up and saw Liang Xueqin.
Chen Miao was shocked and trembled all over. This was too evil. He didn't dare to stop at all. He held an umbrella and turned his head and got into the rain curtain. He disappeared at the end of the road in a blink of an eye.
Liang Xueqin's body also stiffened for a moment, thinking that she had hallucinations.
"Sister Xueqin, what's wrong with you?" Qiao'er looked at Liang Xueqin strangely. How could it be so difficult to close the window?
"No, it's okay, I just want to rain so hard. Do you know if Lao Cai knows to close the windows of the attic?" Liang Xueqin smiled sadly. The one just now must have been an illusion. Since he was cruel to abandon himself, how could he come back?
"Sister Xueqin, please be happy. When I came, I checked all the windows in the attic and closed them all." Qiao'er said.
"What about the flowers and plants I planted?" Looking at the daffodils on the windowsill that were blown by the wind and rain, Liang Xueqin remembered the flowers and plants you planted in Xuelou.
"I have all let Lao Cai move to the yard. Sister Xueqin, you can't stay in the Xuelou anymore. I'm the only one to take care of those flowers and plants. I can't live in the attic, so I naturally moved down." Qiao'er said, "Sister Xueqin, what's wrong with you and your third brother? Why do I ask you, you always refuse to tell me?"
"Qiao'er, you will understand when you grow up a little longer. Go to bed early and you will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." Liang Xueqin sighed inwardly. Chen Miao gave her a small self-defense pistol. She didn't dare to tell Qiao'er about this, and she hid the gun and bullets.
"Yes, Sister Xueqin, you will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Should you go back to Xuelou or to your third brother's place..." Qiao'er asked, obviously she was hiding some tricks.
Liang Xueqin thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to Maggie's apartment first, where are my things still there."
"Okay, Sister Xueqin, if you go back and live now, you will be laughed at." Qiao'er said, "The third brother is not bad, there is everything, and the environment is pretty good."
"What a joke? Tingxuelo is my home. If I go back to my own home, who will laugh at me?" Liang Xueqin snorted coldly, "I have decided to go back to Tingxuelo after I am discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
...
Back at the safe house on Maiyang Road, Chen Miao almost became half a chicken. He threw away his umbrella and took off his shoes, and lay on the bed.
Thinking of nothing.
Finally, I entered No. 76. From now on, I am afraid that more people who know or don’t know will poke the backbone and call him a traitor.
He must get into the role as soon as possible and adapt to it immediately.
It rained until the middle of the night and finally stopped. Chen Miao also got up from the bed, and the wet clothes on his body were already dry, but he still got up and took off the wet clothes. There was no hot water, so he could only rinse it with cold water.
Change into a clean set of clothes.
The power outage was made, and the electricity supply in the concession was intermittent. The kerosene lamp was lit, and under the lamp, he recorded what he saw and heard in the past half day on the 76th, especially the impressions and judgments of the people he saw.
These information will provide reference for his actions within No. 76, which is even more dangerous to lurk in the Military Control Commission. Lin Shiqun is like a smiling tiger, Ding Mohan is more like a poisonous snake. No, he is just a poisonous snake. His pair of thin triangle eyes really looks like a snake.
None of the people like Four Yewen and Tang Keming are fools. They will be very careful in the future and must not be careless.
In the next two days, he decided to take a good rest in the safe house. He was running around these days and was very tired.
No. 76 will not bite him and will not relax. It is hard to say about the Military Control Commission, but only Zheng Jiayuan and Wu Xin know about his safe house.
As long as these two people don't tell them, no one will know his whereabouts.
Zheng Jiayuan will notify himself as soon as possible if he takes any action.
"Mr. Fang, you are so elusive. You will either not see each other for a few days or appear suddenly. Is this going to scare someone to death?" The next morning, Chen Miao went downstairs to wash up in his shorts and vest. When he met Xiaomei, she screamed in fear.
"Sister Xiaomei, I'm sorry, I won't know how to do it in the future, don't worry." Chen Miao hurriedly apologized.
"Mr. Fang, what do you do? You go out early and come back late every day." Xiaomei asked curiously. Women are always more curious.
"I'm doing things in a foreign trade company." Chen Miao smiled.
Xiaomei asked curiously: "Trading company, can foreign trade make money now?"
"This Japanese occupy Shanghai, and business is becoming increasingly difficult, so they can barely make a living."
"Mr. Fang, I think you have a good image and temperament. It's pretty good to be a foreman at our Paramount Ballroom." Xiaomei said enthusiastically, "That's much better than working in a trading company."
Chen Miao smiled and said, "No, Miss Xiaomei, the boss has been kind to me. He is in trouble now. If I leave, it will be unkind and righteous."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Fang is still a kind person." Xiaomei's eyes lit up. If she couldn't catch a rich man, it would be good to live with Fang's surname, and she could be considered a support.
"Mr. Fang, are you free at night?" Xiaomei was also a woman who thought about it and asked directly to Chen Miao who was brushing her teeth.
"Ah?" Chen Miao turned his head and almost sprayed Xiaomei with toothpaste foam.
"I hate it, I'm asking if you have time to accompany me to a dance party and be my dance partner?" Xiaomei shook her hand and threw a charming look at Chen Miao.
Chen Miao felt chills, quickly rinsed his mouth, then wiped his mouth with a towel, and went straight upstairs.
"Hey, haven't you answered me yet?" Xiaomei asked after chasing the stairs.
"No time!" Chen Miao said directly without looking back.
"Tsk, a man without interest..." Xiaomei said contemptuously, not feeling sad at all for Chen Miao's rejection.
What Xiaomei wants is completely different from what Liang Xueqin wants. She and Liang Xueqin are completely different.
...
In addition to eating, Chen Miao stayed in his attic all day. In the future, he might have to live here for a while and his family needs to be cleaned up.
After working all day, I finally tidied up the empty attic.
The kitchen is public, but he basically doesn't make a fire at home to cook, and he doesn't need to boil boiling water. He just needs to cook it by himself with a thermos.
There are also some books and other items in Maggie's apartment, but he doesn't need it now and can't escape it even if it is placed there. As for the darkroom, he doesn't need it now. The equipment for taking photos needs to be taken back and will definitely be used in the future.
After all this, it was almost dark.
After touching my stomach, I was already hungry. I closed the door and went downstairs and saw two familiar faces at the door looking into the inside.
"Han Laosi, Lu Wei, why are you two here?"
"Brother Third, it turns out that you really live here. Our captain said, let us come to report to you and say that we will not belong to the guards in the future." Han Laosi explained.
"Your captain, Zhang Guozhen?"
"Yes, that's what he said." Han Laosi nodded, "This afternoon, Miss Liang was discharged from the hospital. Even if our mission was completed, when we went back to report, the captain said that we were both removed from the guard brigade and asked us to come to see you, Brother San."
"Deputy Director Lin asked me if I would arrange two followers for me. When I thought about it, I knew you two on No. 76 and recommended you casually. Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Lin really asked you to come and follow me." Chen Miao smiled.
"Awei, I just said, our time is here to go, and I have met a noble person like the third brother." Han Laosi said with excitement.
Chen Miao raised his hand: "I am not your nobleman. If you do not do well and do not go to my wishes, I will still kick you back?"
"No, we will definitely listen to the third brother. The third brother told us to go east, and we will never dare to go west. Go up the sword mountain and go down the sea of fire. I, Han Laosi, will never frown." Han Laosi said passionately, "What do you think, Brother Awei?"
"Me, my third brother will do whatever he asks me to do." Lu Wei's answer became much simpler.
"Where are you two living and have you eaten?" Although it sounds very useful, Chen Miao, as a lurker, suspected that he had penetrated into his bone marrow. He would not believe it easily, but he was still very moved on the surface.
"We used to live in the guard brigade dormitory, but now we have been removed from the list. I am afraid that we can't go back to live in the dormitory." Han Laosi said pitifully.
Chen Miao shook his head helplessly. The internal management of No. 76 was really chaotic. Just because Han Laosi and Lu Wei were asked to come by themselves, they were not from the guard brigade, so they drove them out and lost their place to live. Is this treating these two people as traitors? No wonder Lin Shiqun had to formulate a set of strict disciplines and rules to rectify No. 76.
