The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Upon hearing this, Tian Xueyi laughed and said, "Well, that's a good idea."

"Let's deliver the goods first today. If we get back early, I'll take you to learn how to fire a gun."

Tian Xueyi, also known as Brother Tian, ​​was transferred back from the military's transportation department. After all, he had been a soldier, and who wouldn't want to take up arms and fight the enemy head-on?

Nowadays, besides cracking down on scattered bandits and arresting spies, there's really not much opportunity for him to take the lead.

He finally got a chance, but Lao Qi kicked him out first.

How could I not be upset?

At this time, many soldiers or veterans who had participated in wars would be eager to catch spies or go to the battlefield.

They all had the ambition to fight and kill enemies and make meritorious contributions.

Yang Dalin understood Tian Ge's thoughts, which is why he offered him an excuse to make him feel better.

As for whether Brother Tian will be able to go, the chances are slim. At most, he might just drive around with his comrades to arrest people.

In the morning, Yang Dalin was loading trucks. Not long after, a colleague from a small office building came over and told Tian Xueyi and Yang Dalin that Station Master Qi was looking for them.

Tian Xueyi started the car, which wasn't fully loaded yet, and let Yang Dalin and the colleague who came to deliver the message get in. He then drove directly to the office building.

There's no way around it; the freight station is actually quite large.

Sometimes, many people at the station ride bicycles to get to another place.

Upon hearing that someone was urgently needed, Tian Xueyi started his car and drove straight there, as it was faster that way.

When Tian Xueyi and Yang Dalin arrived at Qi Desheng's office, several people from the Railway Public Security Bureau were sitting inside.

Yang Dalin knew Captain Dou Xiaolong, Deputy Captain Wu Tiejun, and their political commissar Xing Zhiguo.

Dou Xiaolong didn't have time for pleasantries and immediately asked Yang Dalin to repeat yesterday's findings, paying attention to the details.

The reason for calling Tian Xueyi was that Tian Xueyi already knew about the situation, and he was also asked to bring more bullets to protect his apprentice.

It's better to be safe than sorry. What if that spy was startled yesterday? It could put Yang Dalin in danger.

Upon hearing that he might be in danger, Yang Dalin suggested that Dou Ge protect his family and that Ma San from the hospital should also be discharged.

After listening to Yang Dalin's words, Dou Xiaolong pondered for a while and said, "Don't do it for now. Let's maintain the status quo. If we suddenly let Ma San leave the hospital, it might arouse the other party's vigilance."

The hospital will send people in, a few under the guise of patients, partly to monitor them and partly to secretly protect Ma San.

In addition, Yang Dalin still needs to go to the hospital to see Ma San as usual.

Don't suddenly stop going.

Yang Dalin thought to himself, "I have a spatial dagger and an axe, so I'm not worried about safety."

But don't mess it up; just make sure you don't give yourself away.

Seeing that Yang Dalin didn't say anything, Dou Xiaolong assumed that Yang Dalin was scared.

I asked him, "Dalinzi, are you worried about safety?"

Yang Dalin smiled and said, "No, it's just that I'm afraid of running into him again and messing up the performance."

If the other party is truly a seasoned spy, this person must be highly observant and cunning. I'm afraid that if their demeanor is off, they might give themselves away, thus affecting your surveillance.

Political Commissar Xing then spoke up: "Yes, this is something that ordinary people shouldn't be risked, but we also don't want to arouse suspicion from the other side. I think we need to be cautious."

Standing to the side, Deputy Squadron Leader Wu Tiejun thought to himself, "Yang Dalin is worried that he might run into the other side and not be able to put on a good show. Why not just prevent the two sides from meeting?"

Then Wu Tiejun said, "Political Commissar, Captain, Station Chief Qi, I've come up with a good idea. Since that person is a doctor, he needs to see patients and make rounds. Da Lin used to only visit his little brother after work. If we can make the two of them go at different times, for example, let Da Lin go earlier or later, or when Da Lin goes, we can find a patient for that doctor to see, thus keeping him occupied and preventing the two of them from meeting. After Da Lin finishes seeing the patient, he can leave."

That solves the problem; the two of them just need to stop meeting in person.

The doctor could only hear from Ma San that Da Linzi had already come.

That way he won't suspect anything.

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it was a good idea, as it would ensure Yang Dalin's safety while preventing him from making direct contact with the other party and thus avoiding being exposed.

That's how it's arranged.

Yang Dalin had no objection to this arrangement.

He then suggested that after finishing his work in the morning, he wanted to go to the shooting range at the Public Security Bureau with Brother Tian to practice shooting.

It was a small matter, and Dou Xiaolong readily agreed, even allowing him to fire a few more shots.

However, I reminded him to take a shower before going to the hospital after the injection.

Otherwise, you'll smell strongly of gunpowder on your clothes.

What if we run into each other at the hospital again?

If the other party smells it, they might be in trouble.

Everyone had to praise Captain Dou for his thoughtfulness.

There were places to shower at the freight station. Yang Dalin used to spend money to shower outside before he got off work when he was only carrying heavy loads.

I haven't been sweating as much while working lately, and I only take a shower at the station every day or two before going home.

Because it's really inconvenient at home.

that's it.

Dou Xiaolong and Qi Desheng both said they would contact the Dongcheng Branch and Jiaodaokou Police Station about this matter.

There is no need to worry about the safety of Yang Dalin's family.

This person is unaware of the seriousness of the matter; we need to investigate further first.

He was followed on his way to and from get off work, which reassured Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin and Brother Tian worked for two hours in the morning before heading to the shooting range of the Public Security Bureau.

Actually, this isn't a separate firing range for the branch office; the railway police, security personnel, and nearby public security officers can all use this range.

This belongs to the Ministry of Railways.

Therefore, it was easy for Tian Xueyi to get in with Yang Dalin's identification.

However, Yang Dalin was using a Mauser C96 pistol.

Tian Xueyi shot Browning.

Yang Dalin didn't have time today; he had originally wanted to practice shooting with a rifle.

He could only wait until he had time another day, and Tian Xueyi told him that in the city, they mostly used handguns to arrest people.

Tian Xueyi took him to the security department to get the Mauser C96 pistol.

It's a gun that was captured many years ago, and it's in pretty good condition.

The crosshair on top has long been sawed off.

Yang Dalin was strong, so he learned to lay the gun flat and fire it, just like he had seen in TV dramas in his previous life.

With focused attention, the target dozens of meters away seemed as if it were right in front of me.

After only a few shots, I was able to hit the target accurately.

They became more and more accurate with each shot.

Tian Xueyi then asked him, "Hey kid, have you ever handled a gun before?"

Yang Dalin said, "I have touched it, but I have never opened it. There are Type 38 rifles in the homes of veterans in the village."

"I've heard how to fight it, and besides, I have a strong hand, a steady hand, and good eyesight, so it'll be a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xueyi realized that this kid was indeed a monster; when he first gave him the gun, he clearly didn't know anything.

I didn't even know where the insurance was, but I never expected that after firing a few shots, it would get better and better.

There have been people like that in the military before, but they were few and far between.

Of course, Tian Xueyi wouldn't suspect Yang Dalin of anything.

Do you really think Yang Dalin can get in? Shouldn't the unit investigate him first?

How could that be?

Furthermore, the chances of a teenager being a spy are almost impossible.

Which spy would dare to recruit such a small number of agents? Even if there were, they would only be sent to stand guard on the periphery or deliver things.

He used to work in rural areas of the North China Plain, where spies would go to develop their networks in rural areas near key factories and military projects.

That's just being a busybody.

Yang Dalin got better and better at the game.

The next few shots hit the bullseye every time.

That was an incredibly accurate shot.
