Under the cover of night, Hu Yi left the beach and walked around the hotel for a long time, checking all the checkpoints. He did not check for the sake of checking, but because he was bored and couldn't sleep.
On the way back to his residence, he was stopped by the elusive Ma Liang. The reconnaissance in the direction of Qingshan Village had already returned. Li Yong led a company and a half to retreat northwards, but did not return to Luoye Village, nor did he go west to find his imperial army. Instead, he directly set up camp in the ruins of Qingshan Village, with bonfires lit everywhere. It seemed that they were afraid of a night attack by the Ninth Company, which also meant that they would not move again tonight.
Staying in the ruins of Qingshan Village? Hu Yi thought about it for a moment and understood that Li Yong was in a dilemma. If he returned to Luoye Village, he would not be able to report to the Japanese and would be afraid of losing his head, so he continued to show his intention to confront the Ninth Company. Although his command ability was not very good, he was not stupid in doing things.
Ask Ma Liang: "Is there any news from upstream?"
"Not yet. But this at least proves that part of the devils didn't catch up. I guess they couldn't catch up anymore. They were at Baishitan for the last time. They should have set up camp near Baishitan. According to what Tiedan said, the strength of the troops was about a squadron plus half a company of the remaining puppet troops."
Looking at Ma Liang's unclear face, Hu Yi suddenly asked, "If we add the Second Company, do you think we can succeed?"
Ma Liang thought about it and shook his head: "It's hard to say... I think... Baishitan is really not a place for a night raid... It's troublesome."
He slapped Ma Liang on the shoulder: "Don't stay up too late, there's nothing to think about tonight."
"Yeah. By the way, Sister Su asked you to report."
This surprised Hu Yi. He turned around to look at the light coming out of a window not far away: "Now?"
Ma Liang's tone was also helpless: "Now."
…
In the wooden house separated by three beds, a lantern was hung on the wall next to the bed. After not having been here for a few days, this originally dirty and messy wooden house had unexpectedly become clean and tidy, and the smell of sweat was so light that it was almost inaudible. Su Qing was sitting on the edge of the simple bed at the inner end, putting down the small notebook in her hand and raising her head. Half of her neck-length hair was glowing with warm light, and it seemed that her eyebrows and eyes were also softened by the side halo.
Hu Yi carefully closed the door behind him, not daring to go in. He stood at attention by the door with his chest and head raised in a military posture. He was very familiar with her rules.
"Why are you standing so far away?" Her tone was surprisingly calm.
"I'm doing this for your sake. It wouldn't sound good if it got out." Hu Yi seemed afraid of her, but he dared to say whatever nonsense he wanted.
It was like this every time. She couldn't keep her calm expression at all and it turned cold in an instant. She subconsciously raised her hand to grab something beside the bed to throw, but unfortunately there was nothing nearby that she could grab. She instinctively raised the small notebook in her hand, and heard the rustling sound of pages quickly unfolding. Then she remembered that she shouldn't throw the notebook away, and quickly put it down again.
You actually still think about me? She almost got so angry that she responded like this. Of course, she would scold him again after saying this, and then she would end up watching him run away in disgrace. So she endured it and adjusted her expression.
"This is a special situation. Your review needs to be completed as soon as possible. If you are not afraid of dragging it out, then just continue to stand there! I don't care!"
Hu Yi's shoulders relaxed, and it seemed that the alarm had been lifted. He walked forward and tentatively pointed to the bed opposite her: "Can I sit?"
Not getting an answer, Hu Yi took it as an affirmation, and went to face her, sitting upright. He had never enjoyed such treatment before, so he was not used to it and it did not feel natural.
She sighed and suddenly lowered her voice: "Besides the girl, does anyone else know about your torture in the detective team?"
Hu Yi shook his head in silence, not understanding her sudden change of style.
"Don't ever say it was torture. Say it was the detective team that ordered you to investigate Li Youcai."
"Why?"
"Because no one can prove what happened to you during that period! Strictly speaking, your investigation can never be concluded!" At this point, she glared at Hu Yi fiercely, and then continued: "I have already found the girl, she knows much more than you do, which is beyond my expectation!"
Hu Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled at her coldly, forgetting the awkwardness of sitting opposite her: "So... the investigation of me can be ended?"
She was stunned, because his smile was full of joy and ease, without his usual frivolity or sarcasm: "Well... that... right. Another question, you said you got a reward from the detective team when you got out, where is the money?"
Hu Yi's relaxed smile didn't even have time to stop, and it turned into a silly smile on his face. The accounts have to be checked? Thinking back to the beginning... after walking out of the detective team's gate... I spent a whole day in the county town with the girl! Later, when we went to look for the whereabouts of Mule Tian Sanqi and the others, we were still drunk.
"Hey! What's wrong? Can you talk?"
"Hmm?" Hu Yi woke up from his trance with difficulty: "Oh, that money... I remember at that time... it seemed..."
Seeing Hu Yi hesitating and wanting to raise his hands to rub his face, Su Qing's face gradually turned darker and her beautiful eyebrows gradually raised and then flattened without any hesitation.
A quarter of an hour later, Hu Yi's sitting posture had become hunched, with his elbows propped up on his knees, his hands covering his cheeks and staring blankly at the ground. After such a long interrogation, the last question stumped this unlucky man, and he regretted it! What he regretted was not that he was bewitched and indulged by the maid, but that he should not have told the amount of the reward a few days ago, and now there was no way to make up for it.
Su Qing's face had already turned as dark as the night sky. He gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "... Listening to storytelling in Desheng Building? Do you think I don't know what Desheng Building is? Are you listening to storytelling or pipa? Ah?"
"At that time, my girl and I felt that... the storytelling place was too far away, so... it would be more convenient if you asked us to come over and join us."
"Bao Yuexuan! You live well! It's the best! Talk to me! Are you dead?"
"It was dark at that time, and I was so drunk that I can't remember much... It seems like... I was walking on the street and teaching the girl to read. As she was learning, I accidentally... I was... really sleepy... Confused... Really. By the way, the girl should be able to prove my innocence! She must..."
"Huh, innocent? Unfortunately, the amount still doesn't add up. So where did the rest of the money go?" Seeing Hu Yi hanging his head and covering his face without saying anything, Su Qing was so angry that she picked up the small notebook at hand and hit him hard on the back of the head: "Raise your head! Answer me!"
In the dim light, Hu Yi raised his unfortunate face, which seemed to have aged ten years. He subconsciously looked at the foot of the bed at the far end: "The rest... I... can't remember."
Su Qing, with a frosty face, had already entered the role of examiner, staring at Hu Yi's expression professionally. Suddenly he realized something and immediately followed Hu Yi's subconscious gaze to the ground at the foot of the bed, where there was a flat stone.
When Hu Yi stared blankly at Su Qing getting up and walking towards the foot of the bed, he realized that he had sold his position due to his momentary distraction. For the first time, he agreed with the indecent nickname Xiao Hongying gave to Su Qing. What a talented person!
The bed legs were pulled apart, the flat stone was lifted, revealing a small pit with a rusty small iron bullet box inside. Unexpectedly, Hu Yi, who was so arrogant in battle, was far inferior to Mule Girl in terms of privacy!
Su Qing took out the box and opened it without hesitation. The rusty iron box was empty with only two things in it: a bamboo collar badge and a small oilcloth roll about ten centimeters long.
"Where's the remaining money?" Su Qing was very disappointed with the result. He sat down on the bed again, untying the ropes that tied the oilcloth roll, and said angrily: "There is no end without an answer. I am not going to let you go again! Just wait for me! You bastard, I..."
However, after the oilcloth was unfolded, a fountain pen appeared under the light, with a black body, a silver cap, and three silver metal lines on the ring. It was a brand new Huafu Gold Pen! In the light, in that beautiful and slender hand, a soft light that could cool anger was reflected.
…
In the darkness outside the window, a petite thief crouched in a wretched manner, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, secretly anxious: Why is there no sound from inside? Why is he not talking? The fox is really stupid, how could he explain the reward? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! He got himself into the hands of the vixen!
I couldn't help but punch the ground with my fist, and suddenly I heard a voice behind me whispering, "Stop it, Youshen, please respect yourself!"
The thief was really scared, until he recognized that the figure was Ma Liang, who was patrolling outside the house on Su Qing's orders.
"Why should I respect myself? The fox and I are innocent!"
