The only exception was two months ago, when an old man who had lost his sheep went to a wooded area east of the shipyard to look for his lost small animal. He was eventually noticed by the patrolling security supervisors.

The situation of this elder has been verified in detail - he has lived here all his life and has never left, and there is nothing suspicious about him. "

The old cat added: "In order to ensure safety and prevent leaks, all factory workers and operators are only allowed to buy necessary daily necessities and are not allowed to leave the factory without permission every day. They are almost in a state of no contact with the village."

After the conversation, the room was silent, with only the slight crackling sound of electricity from the lights remaining.

The four responsible persons - Old Cat, Old Black, Old White, Old Knife, and an agile swallow - simultaneously turned their attention to Mr. Aiguo.

But Aiguo frowned, his mind was mixed. The matter about the fish school was extremely important.

During this renovation process, the factory took full account of concealment and set up multiple security measures to almost ensure that there would be no **.

However, what is confusing is that even though everything should be strictly sealed, it is still possible to know the exact time when the fishing boats set out.

What went wrong?"

He couldn't help but take out a cigarette, and the lingering smoke dissipated around his fingers, but it failed to arouse ripples of thought. "Go to bed." Finally, after spitting out the last puff of the cigarette that had burned to the end, Aiguo resolutely left his seat, crushed the cigarette butt to the ground with all his strength, and turned to look at Mr. Cat. "Team leader, let's go to the shipyard together tomorrow to inspect it, and after we come back, we will discuss together how to deal with the details of this case."

Hearing this, the old cat nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's start planning this trip now." He knew that it was indeed difficult to find key clues based on the information in his hands. Decades of law enforcement work told him that many evidences were hidden in daily details. "Then," after confirming that other senior executives had rested and fallen asleep, the old cat knocked softly on the doors of several houses to wake up the sleeping people. After that, he began to actively operate late at night and provided Mr. Li with the documents and passes required for an on-site visit to the shipyard.

Li Aiguo took Li Sisi and the kitten back to his residence, and after a brief conversation they returned to their respective bedrooms.

Lock the door and turn off the lights.

Lying on the bed that exuded a damp and wooden scent, Li Aiguo looked up at the old structure on the gray roof, which was a mixture of traces of paint and wear and tear. His thoughts were extremely messy.

The elegant silhouette of Chen Xueru wearing a Republic of China cheongsam flashed through my mind, and then I began to review and ponder the situation provided by the kitten.

Listening to the occasional sound of raindrops outside the window, I closed my eyelids and felt a heavy feeling like heavy lead gradually coming over me, and finally I fell asleep.

In this boundless dream, I seemed to see the gentle and affectionate scenes between Xinju and Chen Xueru.

I woke up in a daze and found that the quilt wrapped in my arms had not been thrown away.

"Oh shit..."

He gently pushed aside the quilt and fell into sleep again.

---

The first ray of sunlight in the morning pierced through the old window frames, adding a warm atmosphere to the dim space.

Li Aiguo yawned and stretched, turned out of the quilt, straightened his body in the morning light, put on his clothes and shoes, walked out of his small space and came to the yard.

Inside the camp, a team was carrying out morning activities in an orderly manner. The black fish-scale soldiers were in neat and majestic formation, wearing unique marine uniforms. As the troops passed by, Li Aiguo felt a surge of ocean air. The white uniforms were like the crests of huge waves, and the dome-shaped helmets and blue cloaks looked dynamic and full of vitality. The shining red star on their heads was shining in the morning light, so bright that it was slightly blinding.

The bright red flags on the shoulders of the fish-scale soldiers were like small national flags flying on the sea, guiding and symbolizing the direction of this collective advance. All this made Li Aiguo, who was looking from afar, admire and yearn for it. It was because of him that the great army under the deep sea could bring a terrifying strategic deterrence. However, the scene before him seemed to foreshadow the arrival of a challenge.

Among the fish-scale soldiers present, their captain was a sturdy middle-aged man with a row of black belts and star patterns embroidered on the epaulettes of his uniform on his chest. His eyes, which he cast at Li Aiguo from time to time, were full of vigilance and seriousness.

Li Aiguo didn't know whether this exercise involved any special confidential information. In order to avoid any misunderstanding or conflict, he smiled friendly to the two raised ranks, then walked around the Shipbuilding Factory No. 3 with his hands behind his back a few times - a state-owned factory before the liberation period, probably just a small and inconspicuous shipbuilding facility.

And it has fallen into a state of partial abandonment, so it has been turned into a temporary habitat for the black fish base.

The rusty exterior walls are mottled due to years of erosion by the waves, the ground is covered with gray slates, and on the left stands the remains of a building that looks like an old factory. All that can be seen are the old iron frame structures, horizontal braces and vertical columns in the air, and when you look up you can see the steam pipes covered with thick rust.

There are bullet holes of irregular shapes and sizes scattered around the main entrance and surrounding areas of the factory, as if foreshadowing the unforgettable intensity of the fierce battle that year.

Soak it up.

Patriotism seems to have traveled through time and returned to the period of constant war decades ago.

Following the stone path deeper into the gate, the open area is now desolate and dilapidated beyond imagination, with grass growing along the edge of the dirt hillside and the signposts have collapsed to the ground.

Perhaps to increase the realism, there are several fishing boats that have not yet been fully assembled moored at the dock. The hulls of the boats are rusted and the internal facilities are dilapidated.

The surging water vapor carries a strong breath of life, forming a sharp contrast with the abandoned shipbuilding sites around it.

If one does not know in advance that all this is just a deception, even if one is in this environment, one will think that its structure is impeccable.

When he raised his eyes and looked at the sky, he was almost certain that satellites would never be the source of information leakage.

"Master Aiguo, why are you here? The kitchen is preparing breakfast. Come over and take a look."

As my thoughts flowed,

A loud voice came from not far away, and a middle-aged man in brown security uniform was approaching with big strides.

Although there was still some distance, he raised his hand and greeted me enthusiastically: "I am Zhou Wu, the security chief of the shipyard. I am responsible for all security matters at this construction site."

The broad face has sharp edges, a full forehead, an upright nose, smooth skin and a diverse voice quality.

It is obvious that he is a rough and tough guy.

"Captain Zhou, did you start from here?"

Chatted with Zhou Wu along the way.

The other party was quite surprised: "I am really surprised that you can speak such authentic hometown dialect, Driver Li."

For many years he had been busy traveling around the South.

I thought my local accent had long faded away, but after returning to my hometown, I found that my fellow villagers and friends all regarded me as a stranger and did not show any recognition at all.

This young colleague who had just joined the investigation team saw through his background at a glance.

Aiguo laughed with a hint of self-mockery: "You mountain-born people don't have any unique skills, except for your enthusiasm and cheerfulness!"

"Young comrades are really discerning. People here care most about enthusiasm." When Zhou Wu was chatting happily, he took out a cheap Red Flag cigarette and handed it to Aiguo: "Driver Li, how about trying it?"

"Red Flag" is one of the cheapest cigarettes in this area, and a pack costs only 15 cents. It seems that this section chief is very frugal.

Zhou Ming took it with a smile, took out a lighter and lighted it.

Lin Rui has always been Zhou Ming's observer. Seeing the other party's indifferent attitude towards the quality of different coffees, he began to show more enthusiasm.

Master Mao and his assistant are using aluminum alloy basins to prepare meals in the restaurant.

As they watched the interaction between the two, Master Mao stopped what he was doing and frowned slightly, expressing doubt, "The engineer doesn't seem to be very interested in today's events. He should have been thinking about how to conduct research activities in the morning, instead of chatting with the factory's security captain here."

"This is where you and I differ." Master Mao pulled his assistant aside and said seriously, "The factory security captain and his colleagues are not friendly to people like us. They even have a hint of resistance."

The assistant nodded silently.

Recalling when they first came to this environment, their first task was to quickly find the target, so they strictly checked everyone, especially the staff in charge of security affairs such as Zhou Ming. Because as a leader, he needs to take greater responsibility for security issues. Master Mao continued to teach: "Although in order to maintain the overall stability of the situation, Zhou Ming and other security personnel have to assist our actions, their deep resistance has made our work more difficult.

We become increasingly suspicious of them and may choose not to report suspicious clues once they are discovered."

"Li Aiguo's ability to connect with them at an early stage will only help their subsequent work and will not harm them at all."

He sighed deeply when he said this, "If I hadn't been so eager to act, I wouldn't have had such a serious disagreement with Zhou Ming and others."

"Don't be so stubborn. You haven't understood the importance of this for all these years."

Master Mao tidied his hair with his hands in embarrassment, "Team Leader, you are here, so we are only responsible for following orders."

Master Cat fell into silence.

He feels that in the future, emphasis should be placed on training the team in various skills to perform tasks, so as to avoid the entire team being overwhelmed when he encounters difficulties in the future.

Zhou Ming and Lin Rui walked over while talking. When Master Mao saw Zhou Ming, the smile on his face disappeared. He turned to look at Lin Ming and said gently, "Comrade Lin, I will personally take you into the Black Forest in a moment."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble."

Zhou Ming stared at Master Mao for half a second, then looked away, turned around and walked into the restaurant, his eyes seeming to burn with anger.

Lin Rui took the lunch box handed to him by Master Mao and asked out of curiosity: "Team Leader, did you displease the Section Chief?"
