The paging was from Ye Qing, but the code word above was another matter, not what had been previously agreed upon.

Zhang Feng missed the ubiquitous communication equipment in his dreams very much. Unfortunately, it is still a long way from the popularization of mobile phones, not to mention the biological communication network technology of later generations. He secretly sighed, this pager, it seems that you have to bring a few more. year.

He drove back to the bureau and used his dedicated phone to return to the office. As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Feng first said, "Ye Qing, are you in trouble?"

Ye Qing’s particularly neutral voice came from the microphone. If it hadn’t been known that she was a female, Zhang Feng would not have been able to distinguish the characteristics of her voice. This woman is really a natural spy material: "No, Tao Ranju. Meet and talk."

Zhang Feng was startled, Ye Qing hung up the phone after a few simple words.

I looked at the quartz clock on the wall. It was almost noon. I planned to go to the hospital to replace my mother, but it seemed impossible.

I was about to clean up and go out to Tao Ranju. The pager rang again. Zhang Feng looked at it, but it was the number of the hospital. This phone number was used frequently these days. Zhang Feng was already very familiar with it and knew it was from his mother or cousin. , Zhang Feng hurriedly used the office phone to return. Sure enough, it was his mother Kong Lingshan who answered the phone: "Mom, I have something to do at noon, I'm afraid I can't make it through."

Kong Lingshan said: "You don't need to come here anymore. Your second uncle and aunt are all discharged from the hospital. Just after finishing the discharge formalities, mom will go back to Luo Village."

Zhang Feng was startled and said, "I was discharged so soon? Didn't I mean to cultivate for a few more days?"

Kong Lingshan said: "Where can your second uncle lie down? Don't stop it. You went out yesterday. By the way, your second uncle is going to have a stall for business tonight. You should check it out. Don't cause trouble again, listen. Said Xiaoye Market was killed yesterday."

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "It's okay. I went to the barbecue booth for my second uncle in the evening."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Feng couldn't help but shook his head. The second uncle was really hard working, so he had to go to the small night market at night.

Tao Ranju is located on the third floor of the county non-staple food company in the southwest corner of the county seat.

Zhang Feng parked his car at the gate of the county hotel and walked to Tao Ranju. Although the distance is a little far away, there is no parking place near the Grand Cross, so it can only be done. Perhaps, Ye Qing chose Tao Ranju’s intention. You don't want him to drive over, right? Shaking his head gently, Zhang Feng entered the gate of the non-staple food company and slowly walked up the stairs to the third floor.

I don’t know who came up with the idea. To open such a Tao Ranju in the downtown area, to put it bluntly, it is a small tea house that also serves some staple food, but the main function is to drink tea and chat. It is a hall of more than 1,000 square meters. It is dressed up as a green space of different sizes, separated by various potted landscape trees, which is not interesting.

Just opened Tao Ranju's glass door, the oncoming waitress said: "Are you Mr. Zhang? Please follow me."

Although Zhang Feng is not the first time to come to Tao Ranju, he will definitely not exceed the number of times with one hand. I don’t know much about the situation here. Hearing what the waiter said, he nodded slightly and followed in behind. Tao Ranju.

Turning around and around, in a position near the window in the middle of Tao Ran, I saw Ye Qing who was enjoying a cup of tea.

Zhang Feng sat down and said: "You can find this kind of place, I really convince you."

The waiter Ye Qingchong nodded and said, "Serve the dishes, make another pot of tea, and ask for Longjing."

Zhang Feng shrugged his shoulders slightly, feeling a little helpless for Ye Qing's taste. This kind of place was originally a place for recreation and chat. Few people went to Tao Ranju to eat. Even for tea, Zhang Feng would not go to such a place. Come to be slaughtered.

After a short time, the waiter brought four dishes of side dishes, Chaotian peppers, carrots, pickled cabbage, boiled peanuts, a pot of Longjing tea, two large bowls of lamb fritters, a small dish of pickled garlic, chili sauce, and two more. Bottle of cold beer.

Zhang Feng was a little bit dumbfounded when he saw this, but he couldn't say anything about Ye Qing. Being able to get acquainted with the local food so quickly showed that Ye Qing still used a lot of skills. He had already heard Zhou Xiaojun's private introduction before that Ye Qing was indeed the number one. He came to Beiyuan Province for the second time, so he still admired this non-male and female agent from his heart.

Reaching out for the wine bottle, Zhang Feng filled two glasses, handed Ye Qing a cup, and said: "It's such a hot day to eat steamed buns. I really can't stand it without beer. Let's have a drink first?"

Ye Qing took the wine glass and put it aside, and said, "Eat first, and I'll tell you something later."

Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether to drink or not while holding the glass. Seeing that Ye Qing had already started eating with a big bowl, he laughed mockingly, poured all the ice beer into his stomach, and then lowered it. After eating, he no longer actively greeted Ye Qing.

Ye Qing eats very fast. It took less than three minutes to cook a bowl of mutton soak, and there was only a slight sweat on his forehead. This made Zhang Feng very surprised. He had been a special soldier for so many years. The speed of eating was also quite terrifying, but since that dream, many habits have changed unconsciously, and it seems very elegant to eat.

Under the influence of Ye Qing, Zhang Feng put down his chopsticks before he finished eating, and asked him to chew on Ye Qing’s noodle bowl. It seemed that he couldn’t make it, even if Ye Qing didn’t look like a woman, Zhang Feng There is no way to make yourself as crude as before.

After the waiter took away the bowls and chopsticks, Ye Qing said faintly, "Are you catching a person named Liu Baohong?"

Zhang Feng said with an "um" and said, "This has nothing to do with what you are doing, right?"

Ye Qing "hum" and glanced at Zhang Feng slantingly: "Are you blame me for being nosy?"

Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Call me over, isn't it just that?"

Ye Qing stared at Zhang Feng’s face for a while, then took out a kraft paper portfolio from the satchel behind the seat, and pushed it in front of Zhang Feng, saying: “Look at this person’s information first. It might be useful."

Zhang Feng opened the portfolio somewhat suspiciously and pulled out a stack of materials. When he scanned the top page, he couldn't help but frown, "Ning Haibing?!"

Glancing at Ye Qing's face, he put down the file in his hand with a groan, and did not continue to read it.

The name Ning Haibing is not unfamiliar to Zhang Feng. In his dream, this man is a very famous drug lord. It was not until more than 30 years later that he was arrested in the United States. At that time, Zhang Feng had also fled. Overseas, settled in the United States.

Unexpectedly, Ning Haibing actually had a relationship with the underground ice factory in Zhou'an County.

Yes, what Zhang Feng asked Ye Qing to do was to check the underground ice factory that was famous in later generations, and the processing factory that once seized more than 40 tons of ice at one time.
