Chasing the Light

Chapter 19: It turned out to be her

Views:

After lunch, Su Ran went to the post office to mail a book. Han Dong accompanied her and saw the address she wrote on the mailing list. It was a school in a mountainous area of the province. Last year, when he was on a mission and passed by there, a mudslide happened and the school was destroyed. Several students and teachers who lived on campus were buried underneath. Fortunately, the rescue was timely. He was in a hurry to report back and make sure that everyone he rescued was alive. He left with the team first.

It seems that she is still very keen on doing charity, but what about fraudulent donations

Han Dong wanted to ask but felt it was not a good idea to ask, so he didn't ask.

After coming out of the post office, Su Ran asked him what plans he had for the afternoon, but he said he had to go back.

Su Ran was surprised. Wasn't he on a mission? Why did he go back after just having lunch? She was looking forward to going on an adventure with him!

However, he said he wanted to go back, so Su Ran had to go back with him. She called Shen Yifeng and told him that she was going back first.

On the way, Han Dong received a call. Su Ran was sitting with him and heard the person on the phone asking...Did you bring the person back

He looked at her with a complicated expression and said he had brought it back.

Su Ran suddenly had a bad feeling. Was his so-called mission to find her and bring her back? Was it possible that Director Chen couldn't stand the pressure and wanted to replace her, so she couldn't stay in the army and had to leave immediately

But she spoke to Ning Xi on the phone in the morning, and Ning Xi said that Director Chen was very determined not to change the actor. Could something have happened in the past few hours

But if it was that simple, he could just say it directly without using any secret mission or date as an excuse.

Su Ran waited for him to hang up the phone, then asked hesitantly, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Han Dong was silent for a moment and said, "It's hard to explain right away. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Su Ran became more and more uneasy, feeling that something bad was going to happen.

After returning to the army, Su Ran was taken to the battalion commander's office, where there were several people, including Li Wei.

Han Dong saluted: "Report, Su Ran is here."

One of them nodded, and Han Dong introduced them: "This is Director Feng, this is Captain Sun, and this is Director Ni from the Security Bureau."

Su Ran was a little frightened by the scene. What was going on? So many important people were waiting for her, including people from the Security Bureau.

Did she do anything that endangers national security

"Comrade Su Ran, don't be nervous. Director Ni came here just to ask you something. Just answer truthfully." Director Feng said with a gentle smile, motioning for Su Ran to sit down, and then motioning for Li Wei and Yang Fan to go out.

Director Ni pointed at the camera on the table and asked, "Comrade Su Ran, is this your camera?"

Only then did Su Ran realize that the camera she had forgotten in the dormitory was now placed on the coffee table.

Su Ran nodded: "It's mine."

Leica S (TYP007) is correct.

"Did you turn on your camera after passing security at Fengyincheng Bus Station?" Director Ni asked again.

Su Ran shook her head: "No, after I arrived at the army, squad leader Li said that I couldn't bring the camera, so he kept it for me. Today I applied to take it back. I wanted to take the camera to the county town to take some pictures, but I left in a hurry and left it in the dormitory."

"That is to say, after passing the security check, you didn't even turn on the camera to check it." Director Ni confirmed again.

Su Ran nodded affirmatively and asked nervously, "Is there something wrong with this camera?"

"Open it and see if this is your camera," said Director Ni.

Su Ran picked up the camera, opened it and looked at it. She was stunned: "This, this is not my camera?"

What happened? Where did her camera go

Han Dong was obviously relieved. He had just returned today when he received a call from the director, who said that Su Ran might be involved in a serious espionage case and that the leader of the Security Bureau wanted to question Su Ran in person.

But Su Ran had already gone to the county town, and she was traveling alone. His cell phone could be reached but no one answered. He immediately set out to the county town to find Su Ran, and kept calling Su Ran along the way.

He felt that there might be some misunderstanding. He didn't believe that Su Ran was a spy, but after all, the matter was of great importance. Before things were clarified, he couldn't say anything. He could only take her back without making any noise.

The tattooed man and the cripple were already being watched by the Security Bureau.

"Comrade Su Ran, can you tell us what's in your camera?" Director Ni asked again.

"They are all some landscape photos, as well as photos of children in the school where I teach. Oh, yes, there should be a photo of me in it." Su Ran frowned and thought carefully. The last photo was taken by Ning Xi for her.

Director Ni nodded slightly: "How long have you been teaching at xxx school?"

"Three years."

"You are the only teacher in that school?"

"Yes, there was originally an old local teacher, but his health was not good, so he retired when I arrived. If I hadn't accepted the role in the drama 72 Hours and needed to experience life in the army, I would have stayed there until the end of this semester."

Han Dong looked at Su Ran in surprise. Could it be that the female teacher he rescued last year was her

He still remembered that when he dug her out, she was already unconscious, and she was kneeling down to protect the child beneath her. However, it was night and it was raining heavily, and her face was covered in mud, so he couldn't see what she looked like clearly.

It’s a small world.

Director Ni asked a few more questions, and all the answers matched the results of their investigation, proving Su Ran's innocence. Director Ni then said, "Comrade Su Ran, you took the wrong camera when you went through security at Fengyin City Bus Station."

Su Ran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "I remember now. There was a foreign man in front of me in the queue. He also had a camera with the same case as mine. I was afraid I had picked up the wrong one, so I checked the model number. It turned out to be the right one, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

I didn't expect that I took the wrong one.

"There is something I must let you know. The owner of the camera you are holding is suspected of stealing our country's confidential information. We arrested him at the bus station, but we couldn't find anything valuable on him, so we had to release him. However, he delayed his return and has been staying in our province, which aroused our suspicion. Perhaps the things were not sent out. There are photos of you in his camera. During the interrogation, he said that he took them secretly, but from the pictures, the photos were taken indoors. You smiled at the camera, and it was a relatively intimate smile, as if you were facing a very close person, so we suspect that you have some relationship with him."

"We have been investigating you for the past few days. From your experience, it seems impossible that you and him have any connection. Then we learned that you came here, and the date you joined the army was the same day we arrested you at the bus station, so we re-checked the surveillance at the bus station."

Su Ran was stunned. This was too dramatic. She actually exchanged cameras with a spy accidentally, and she only realized now that her camera had been replaced.

"We're going to take this camera back for technical appraisal, and then we'll replace it with a new one of the same model for you," Director Ni said.

"No, no, you guys can take the camera, I will buy a new one myself." Su Ran didn't want the spy's camera. She would just consider her own camera as lost and it would be a shame to let the country spend money.

"Comrade Su Ran, thank you for your cooperation, but you may not understand what I mean." Director Ni said.

Su Ran was at a loss. Any other questions

Director Ni's expression was serious: "We can find you, and they can find you too. Don't forget that your camera has your photo. You are a star, so it is easy for them to obtain your identity and whereabouts. Obviously, your experience in the county town today shows that they have already set their sights on you."
