Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

The old man wore a pair of black-framed glasses on his nose, and exuded a scholarly air. According to archive records, he was a top student in junior high school and worked as a Chinese teacher in a new-style school for several years before liberation.

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhou Wu announced to everyone: "This is Comrade Huang Kui."

He then further introduced the situation: "Huang Kui, this is driver Li from our investigation team."

After the two of them introduced themselves to each other, Huang Kui slowly sat down opposite Li Guoai, his eyes fixed on the floor. Before he asked, his lower limbs began to tremble involuntarily.

"Old Huang, are you worried that you are guilty?" Zhou Wulue asked with a frown.

Such words instantly made the old educator tremble like needles, and he became more and more panicked: "No... Absolutely impossible."

Li Guoai signaled Zhou Wu to take a step back: "Don't panic, I'll ask you whatever you want to ask, and you can answer whatever you want."

The veteran driver was timid by nature, and if he was disturbed further, follow-up questioning would probably be impossible to carry out.

Zhou Wu was very clear about Huang Kui's situation.

Most of his family members died during the civil war, and he was alone in the world and not easily seduced by the enemy. Therefore, the risk of him leaking secrets was small.

For this reason, Zhou Wu gently patted Huang Kui on the shoulder and said, "Old Huang, you are a senior comrade of ** years and you are familiar with our confidentiality discipline. From now on, please assist driver Li with his work wholeheartedly."

After receiving a positive response, Zhou Wu breathed a sigh of relief with a series of “OK, OK, OK” responses. The meeting continued only after Huang Kui’s emotions had stabilized.

The focus is on questioning Huang Kui's operational process in material procurement.

Huang Kui responded to this with zero questions. Every time he went to the Yanshi Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy supplies, he would always wear work clothes from the Third Shipyard. After arriving, he would directly list the required supplies and hand them over to the deputy director Liu. During the whole process, there was no need to deal with other people. Liu personally purchased the items to ensure that the whole process was carried out in secrecy.

As an experienced bodyguard, Zhou Wu looked up at Li Guoai in confusion after hearing this description. Based on his decades of intuition, Huang Kui's actions were not suspicious. Even if the enemy had multiple brains, they would not be able to find clues about the time when the black ship left the port. Could this driver Li have made a mistake?

As Huang Kui finished his story, the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent. Li Guoai leaned back in his chair with his hands folded, frowning, still fixing his sharp eyes on Huang Kui.

Huang Kui, who had already exposed his naked body, felt as if his back was surrounded by countless sharp blades. He felt a tingling and feverish sensation on his body, and he broke out in a cold sweat unconsciously.

In the hot summer, the lenses of the large round glasses that should have been as clear as water were actually covered with a thin layer of mist formed by sweat. At this moment, Huang Kui had no time to wipe the sweat off his face, and could only shout anxiously:

"Master Li, we have confessed everything. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

Looking at this scene, Zhou Wu frowned and said:

"Master Li, Huang Kui is a reliable comrade. Maybe you are mistaken."

Before he finished speaking, Li Aiguo, who was standing next to him, suddenly stood up, stared at Huang Kui in front of him, and asked a question.

"Excuse me, Comrade Huang Kui, what are the main items your company purchases in its daily work?"

Faced with this question, Huang Kui slowly listed:

"Most of the household items, candles, kerosene cans, drills, thimbles, sewing needles of various sizes, straw wrapping paper, and soap."

At this point, Huang Kui felt a little timid, looked up at Li Aiguo, and as if to hint that things were not that simple, he hastily added:

"The shopping list is different every time. The workers in the factory tell me what they need, and I compile it into a list. This list is directly delivered to the deputy director in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative, that is, our Lao Liu.

Li Aiguo nodded gently and asked calmly:

“Before the diving fish unit went out to sea, were there any significant changes in the amount and variety of goods you purchased?”

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Huang Kui's face turned pale instantly, and his legs seemed to be unbalanced, trembling slightly on the spot.

His tongue became uncontrollable and only moved a few times without uttering a single word.

At this moment, everyone present noticed something unusual. Zhou Wu immediately glared at Huang Kui and shouted:

"Brother Huang, this matter is of great importance. You need to give an explanation immediately! Tell me what is going on."

But at this time, Huang Kui seemed to understand his own mistakes and the possible consequences. He began to tremble, half opened his mouth, and screamed.

The scream was like a sharp knife piercing his own throat, making people shiver in their hearts.

At this time, Li Aiguo slowly stood up, took out the cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Huang Kui, and then helped light it.

He comforted Huang Kui and said:

"Master Huang, don't be too nervous. If you just made a mistake and it wasn't intentional, and you've explained the facts clearly, then you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Huang Kui calmed down a little after hearing that. He took a few deep puffs of smoke and then choked and started coughing violently. A complicated and painful look appeared on his face.

After a short rest, the coughing sound subsided, and Huang Kui nodded again and responded:

"Yes, Master Li, you are right. Whenever the diving team sets out to perform a mission in distant waters, they need to purchase large quantities of cleaning products, alcohol, and some special supplies."

Then his voice gradually became hoarse, "Both the quantity and variety purchased are several times more than before!"

As for why there are so many sanitary products needed - it is easy to understand, each dive requires staying in the vast ocean for several days. According to the instructions, the divers need to complete the important moment of reunion with their families in the days before departure to ensure that their physical strength and mood can be replenished and happy.

However, the existence of wine and chili peppers - what are they for? Li Aiguo raised his head and looked at Zhou Wu who was watching from the side.

"Excuse me, the purpose of purchasing peppers is..." He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"In order to keep the comrades awake, Yuhei's combat operations may need to continue for several days and nights. Before each operation, the comrades will be provided with half a kilogram of dried chili peppers to refresh themselves in an emergency."

After Zhou Wu explained, he seemed to remember something, and his heart was like a turbulent wave, churning non-stop.

I could feel the atmosphere in the room getting thicker, and my throat seemed to freeze. I uttered a slight, trembling voice, "Are you saying that those people used the information about the supplies purchased by 'Old Huang' to set the time for our ship to sail?"

“The enemy is truly omnipresent.”

Li Aiguo lit a cigarette and said in a low voice: "The shipyard will suddenly purchase daily necessities frequently. This is where the enemy will notice the abnormality."

Zhou Wu's face suddenly turned bleak, and he slapped his hand hard on the table: "I arranged to purchase materials from the Salt Ancient Town. During the process, I thought I was foolproof and took many factors into consideration, but I didn't expect that there would still be hidden dangers exposed."

(...)

The security official who was stern and complained that Li Aiguo was slowing down the progress,

At this moment, it was as if his personality had changed. He lowered his head to the edge of his trouser legs and no longer had the courage to raise his head high.

The security department's self-confidence plan was exposed in the hands of a not-so-young recruit.

What’s more crucial is a critical flaw that is enough to destroy everything.

He is still bragging about himself. He has absolutely no shame at all!

At this moment, Zhou Wu's face also looked extremely ugly.

As long as I think of the incident where the news about Yu Hei was leaked because of me,

Thinking of the sound pattern of the fish, it is possible for the enemy to capture and save it,

This loyal old security guard regretted his decision so much that he almost took out his gun, trying to exonerate himself. "I am a criminal." His head drooped heavily, filled with self-blame and remorse.

Now was not the time to assign blame. Li Aiguo stood up and gently stroked his shoulders, saying in a steady voice, "These are just my assumptions. The specific circumstances still need to be explored in detail."

Zhou Wu shook off his depression, took a deep breath, and pulled himself together. He said to driver Li, "Brother Li, what should we do now? Please tell me."

Unconsciously, he was using the respectful term "you" when talking to Zhou Wu. Even the cat could not enjoy such treatment.

Since the shipyard team members were out of town,

It was not convenient for Li Aiguo to consult with "Old Cat" for decision-making.

After a little thought, he announced the order:

"Brother Zhou, take a few new faces with you immediately, pretend to be fishermen nearby, and go deep into the cooperative to conduct a basic reconnaissance."

then,

"Next..."

Li Aiguo whispered into Zhou Wu's ear and gave more specific instructions.

Brother Wu's eyes gradually widened, and he kept nodding his head and said, "Old Li, don't worry, we must bring this hateful man to justice."

"No, no, you can't catch me!"

"what happened!?"

Brother Wu looked at Li Jianguo in disbelief: "Are you going to let him leak the information at will?"

Li Jianguo smiled with a hint of secrecy: "This time when we go to Yancheng Town, we only need to find out whether this person exists. Then, we will arrange for someone to keep a close eye on him. Don't do anything to offend him, because I have a huge interest in this person."

Even though Wu Ge didn't understand all of Li Guojianguo's plans,

But based on his trust in him, he immediately nodded and responded: "Don't worry, Lao Li, my team members have received professional training. They will definitely be able to complete this task."

Half a month later, Black Fish will set sail again.

Brother Wu realized the urgency of the situation and quickly led several smart security guards, who changed into local villagers' clothes and came to Yancheng Town.

As for the logistics staff member Lao Huang, because he was involved in the incident handling process, he was temporarily taken to the next room for care by security personnel.

Li Jiansijian sat in Brother Wu's office, squinting his eyes, and began to think of different strategies in his mind.

If used properly this time, not only can the secret be kept secret successfully, but the enemy can also be stopped from building the factory.

But this matter is extremely critical, and any loophole in any step may lead to the failure of the entire plan.
