[Those who were tricked into the Republic of China by the system] Daily life of spies

Chapter 575: You act, I act too, let’s see who deceives whom!

next morning

Jiang Nansu personally followed the street officials to conduct household investigations.

The area she investigated was the Tongluo Lane area.

She followed the clerk from house to house, and as soon as she came out of a certain house, she saw Lu Xiuyu carrying a basket, looking like she was in a hurry.

"Hey, Comrade Public Security, what's going on with you?" Lu Xiuyu stopped when she saw Jiang Nansu and asked curiously.

"Hey, you are..." Jiang Nansu was confused for a moment, as if the words were on his lips but he couldn't remember them.

Lu Xiuyu pursed her lips and smiled.

The police officer didn't even remember her name, so he probably didn't take her to heart. It seemed like she wasn't on the other side's suspicion list.

She said with a relaxed expression: "Comrade Public Security, have you forgotten? I am Uncle Tong's neighbor, and I have provided you with clues. By the way, how is the investigation of Uncle Tong's case going?"

"Oh, it's Sister Lu. Alas, there are too many things going on right now and we are too busy. We are doing a census and we are short of manpower. There is no progress in Uncle Tong's case for the time being. We will help for a few days first. During the investigation, say Maybe we can find the target." Jiang Nansu smiled sheepishly: "Eh? Are you going to buy groceries?"

You act, I act too, let’s see who deceives whom!

"Well, I'm going to buy some odds and ends. Now that Uncle Tong's store is gone, it's too expensive for us to buy things elsewhere." Lu Xiuyu sighed: "Comrade Public Security, you must take Uncle Tong's matter seriously. Come on."

"Don't worry, Sister Lu, we will definitely take it to heart." Jiang Nansu smiled heartlessly: "By the way, Sister Lu, we will be registering at your home soon. You have to come back quickly."

"Okay, don't worry, Comrade Public Security. I'll walk faster and I'll be back in 10 minutes." Lu Xiuyu responded quickly and left eagerly.

Jiang Nansu lowered his eyes and entered another house.

Lu Xiuyu turned around and saw her actions, and was completely relieved.

This female police officer was really unprepared for her. He even told her that he wanted to find a breakthrough during the population check?

Although she had expected this, seeing that the other party said it without any precautions, he must be a newcomer who has just entered the industry. If you let such a person come to investigate Uncle Tong's case, what can you find out?

Fortunately, she was still feeling uneasy, so she came out to test him, and even deliberately planned a coincidental encounter, which seemed to be completely unnecessary.

She looked at the basket and thought of her excuse, so she had to go shopping quickly so that she could come back and deal with the people. She also had to talk to Lao Lin at night, well, she also had to talk to the team members.

Lu Xiuyu hurried away and then hurried back. When she came back, she happened to see the female police officer coming out of the neighbor's house.

"Sister Lu is back? Just in time, we are about to go to your house."

"Hey, I'll open the door right now." Sister Lu opened the door with a smile.

He also actively poured water for the officers: "There are no good things at home, only boiled water, don't dislike it."

"No, no, no, no, Sister Lu, we can't drink your food, don't pour it! Don't let us make mistakes." Several people insisted: "Sister Lu, we brought it ourselves, don't I’m busy, we have to go to the next one after registering.”

"Oh, comrades from the police, you are really just a bowl of water." Lu Xiuyu put down the kettle with a look of helplessness, moved a small stool out and sat down: "Okay, I'm not busy anymore, if you have anything to say, just Just ask."

"Sister Lu, how many people are in your family?" the clerk began to ask.

"Two, just me and the man."

"Give me your name and your man's name."

"My name is Lu Xiuyu, and my man's name is Lin Xinyou."

"When did you get married?" The officer asked the same question as others.

"We got married in the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938). My husband's wife was sick and looked like she was going to die, so we found someone to go on a blind date with us. Not long after we got married, the old man left. In those few years, life was really too hard. It’s difficult, even if I want to see a doctor, I don’t have money.” Lu Xiuyu sighed.

"Has your house been rented out?" The clerk nodded sympathetically and continued to ask.

"When the Japs were here, they rented it out. After the Japs left, those people said they wanted to go back to their hometowns to visit, so they left too." Lu Xiuyu responded calmly.

The neighbors all knew about the previous rental, so it would be too suspicious to deny it.

"Do you remember their names?"

"Ah, comrade, everyone has left, do you still need to register?" Lu Xiuyu's heart skipped a beat, but her face looked as if nothing had happened.

"No, just ask casually. This is recorded separately. During this period, there are too many bad people. We just want to see if we can find any traces of these people in the past." The officer had already been given the order. Take it in stride.

That's it!

"That's right." Lu Xiuyu was only half relieved when she mentioned it.

The two people who lived here before were her colleagues. She didn't know where they had evacuated to now. She was just afraid that they had received some orders and done something. If they were caught...

Lu Xiuyu said a little distressed: "The people who rented the house were all men. We also specially built a fence several meters high to separate it. They moved out and my man said he would not rent it anymore, so we demolished it. I only know One is called Lao Deng, the other is Lao He, and I don’t know about the others.”

"Can you describe what they look like?"

Lu Xiuyu's face looked really ugly now.

"Sister Lu, what's wrong? It's hard to tell?"

"Comrade, those are all gay men. As a woman, how can I have the nerve to stare at them every day? Besides, our house has a fence, so I really didn't pay attention to what they looked like."

"Didn't we meet when we paid the rent?"

"The fence wall used to have some gaps, and money was usually passed through the gaps." Lu Xiuyu said, "I am a woman, how can I stare at other men. My husband has talked with them, How about you wait until my man is at home for the holidays and then come over?"

"Let's do this." The clerk closed the notebook and said, "When your man takes a break, just ask him to go to the subdistrict office and explain this matter."

"Okay, I'll tell him when he comes back from get off work." Seeing that they looked like they were done, Lu Xiuyu quickly stood up.

I thought it was just a simple inquiry, but I didn’t expect that it also involved previous tenants!

Thinking of the actual reason why she was left lurking, Lu Xiuyu could no longer guarantee whether those people had evacuated!

After Jiang Nansu and the clerk came out, they went to the next house.

But my heart was filled with joy.

I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected harvest!

Did Lu Xiuyu think they would really wait until her man left to know what those two people looked like?

As long as they bring up the topic, these enthusiastic neighbors will be able to reveal her family's past!
