Chapter 246 Dark Night Murder

As soon as Lin Zheng said the meeting was over, someone asked,

"Director Lin, you said yesterday that you would apply to the higher authorities for an opportunity for us to go to the front line. Now a day has passed, why is there no news at all?"

I heard someone ask about going to the front line.
The comrades who had been noisy just now immediately became quiet, looking at Lin Zheng quietly and waiting for his reply.

Lin Zheng saw that everyone was not working but looking at him.

He smiled unhappily.
"Okay, you guys, although it's a very good thing that everyone is so eager to go to the front line to fight, but you are not the only one in Peking who wants to go to the front line.

Go out and ask for yourselves.
Look at how many people wrote applications to fight yesterday. How many people want to go to the front lines to fight?

So many people, so many departments involved,
The higher-ups should make good overall arrangements and finally determine who will go and who must stay and stick to their posts.

It's only been one day, and you can't wait any longer?"

When we were out on duty yesterday, we heard from comrades in other departments and even other districts that they also wanted to go to the front.
Now that Lin Zheng said that the leaders above needed time, the comrades also felt that they were a little anxious.

Then I stopped asking questions.

He hurried back to get his equipment, then left the police station to go out on patrol.

He Yuzhu also followed Ye Dapeng and the others to continue yesterday's task, but this time it was not as urgent as yesterday, so he was able to go home on time to cook.

But he had just walked into the courtyard.

I saw Jia Zhang, the second aunt and Aunt Yan and the others quarreling with each other.

After watching for a while, He Yuzhu knew that they were all scrambling to make fried noodles, just for the few ounces of food that were allowed to be wasted.

The situation of each household is different, so He Yuzhu can't say much about it.

Some time later,
He Daqing and his wife worked overtime at the steel mill until 7 or 8 o'clock every day.

He Yuzhu delivered food, cotton and other supplies to the grain station every day, and then transported the fried noodles, bedding and other items made by the neighbors to various warehouses for storage.
Then I get off work on time every day to take care of the family.

In the middle of the night, He Yuzhu, who was tired after a day's work, was sleeping soundly on the kang when he suddenly heard a burst of gunfire outside.

He opened his eyes the moment he heard the gunshot, and then he heard He Yushui holding his arms and asking in a daze,

"Brother, it's so noisy outside!"

Seeing that his sister was also woken up, He Yuzhu ignored the gunshots and replied with a smile,
"It's okay, Yu Shui, go to sleep quickly. I'll go out and see what's going on."

"Ok!"

After saying this in a daze, He Yushui muttered something again, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Looking at his sister sleeping like a pig, He Yuzhu chuckled, then quickly put on his clothes and listened carefully. He found that the gunshots came from the Chaoyangmen warehouse.

Then he frowned slightly.
As a member of the transport team, he knew that the Chaoyangmen warehouse was now storing fried noodles and quilts made by the people of Beiping in the past few days.
According to the plan, the goods will be loaded onto a train and transported to Shengjing by rail tomorrow morning.

Those secret service agents have really good noses.
Thinking that the things in the warehouse might be destroyed by the spies at this critical moment, He Yuzhu could not help but speed up the speed of getting dressed and prepare to go out to check the situation.

If what he thought was true, then things would be very serious and the soldiers on the front line might have to suffer from hunger and cold.

After putting on his clothes, shoes and socks, he tucked in the quilt for He Yushui.
He Yuzhu first took out the weapons and equipment from the space and equipped himself, then lit the kerosene lamp and opened the door.

When I walked out of the house, the yard was dark and there was nothing unusual.
He closed the door and put the kerosene lamp on the ground. Just as he was about to go to the stairs under the eaves, there was a sound of knocking on the glass from the Yan family across the street.
Turning around, I saw Yan Bugui greeting me through my window.
It looks like he wants to let himself go.

However, He Yuzhu was busy going up to the roof to check the situation outside, and he was in no mood to chat with Yan Bugui, so he simply ignored him.

He carried the stairs under the eaves and went to the back room.

By the dim light of the kerosene lamp,

He first set up a ladder on the roof of the back house, and then climbed up to the roof of the back house neatly along the ladder.

In this era without any light pollution, any fire in the distance can be clearly seen.
But when He Yuzhu climbed onto the roof and looked in the direction of Chaoyang Gate, he did not see a big fire there. There were only flashes of gunfire and bullets that streaked through the night sky.
Moreover, the gun flames and flowing lights were constantly moving towards the city.

At this moment, Yan Bugui's slightly nervous voice came from the yard.

"Zhu Zi Zhu Zi, what's going on outside?
Where did the gunshots come from? Is it far from our Nanluoguxiang?"

He Yuzhu turned around and saw Yan Bugui standing in the yard, holding up his kerosene lamp and looking up at him.

Then he replied,
"It's okay, Uncle Yan, the gunshot came from Chaoyang Gate.
It seems that the secret service agents were trying to do something bad, but were discovered by the patrol team. "

Hearing that the gunshots came from Chaoyang Gate, the frightened Yan Bugui immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing and others also came from the middle courtyard and the back yard holding kerosene lamps.

After asking around and learning that there was no danger, He Daqing put down the kerosene lamp and climbed up to the roof along the stairs.
Looking at the bright lights coming from different places from time to time, He Daqing asked with some doubt,
"Zhu Zi, what are these spies doing?

Sometimes he appears here, sometimes he appears there, and just now he was heading towards Zhengyang Gate, why is he coming here again?"

"What can we do? They were stopped by the city patrol.

That's why I have to keep changing direction.

They were heading towards Zhengyang Gate. I guess their base should be there, so they ran there after their plan failed.
The reason why they are coming to our side now may be that the patrol team wants to drive them here,
It is also possible that they have settled here.

Dad, don't forget that although Zhengyangmen is a prosperous place with many wealthy people, it also breeds many ruffians and hooligans.

Lin Wenhua, Bai Wenguang and the others are basically all from Zhengyangmen.

But the area around Shichahai is not much worse.

Take our Nanluoguxiang for example. Houyuanensi Hutong has the headquarters of the bald men, and Maoer Hutong has the headquarters of the military police and the security team.

Why do you think they came here?"
