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

In that case, Tian Xueyi won't need to stay here to recover from his injury.

Since his apprentice Yang Dalin had nominally died, and he was only slightly injured, and his apprentice's "body" had already been transported back, what was he still doing in this hospital?

Therefore, Tian Xueyi also had to return to Beijing.

I can't stay and take care of Comrade Xiao Wan anymore.

Comrade Xiao Wan has been handed over to the comrades in Pingchang County for care.

After returning to Beijing, Tian Xueyi could stay in another hospital temporarily without showing his face.

He told his family he was away on a business trip.

This reason is also plausible.

Comrade Xiao Wan needs to rest locally for a few more days.

Once his condition stabilizes in a few days, we can quietly send him to a major hospital in Beijing.

After Yang Dalin and his team discussed the details, they informed Captain Li Guoqiang and the others.

The spies watched carefully, then reported to their superiors, and other units would come to take them away.

Yang Dalin used the police station's phone to inform Director Hou and the others.

Director Hou told him that he would arrange for someone to take the three spies away.

Once they arrived in Beijing, someone would be arranged to secretly contact him.

So, while it was still early...

The three cars set off directly back, and even took a detour.

When Yang Dalin entered Beijing and was near his home, he quietly got off the bus.

He was going to secretly check if anyone was watching the vicinity of No. 95 Courtyard.

He doesn't need to show his face at the station for the time being.

Qi Desheng and his team first took Tian Xueyi to the ministry's hospital.

Then he returned to his office and waited for Yang Dalin's call.

Before everyone started work, Yang Dalin checked all the courtyards near No. 95.

They just didn't find anyone suspicious.

Even the small courtyard near where the telegram was heard is now quiet.

However, that courtyard has already been targeted.

It's likely that the letter of complaint written by Yang Dalin was effective.

To avoid being recognized, Yang Dalin disguised himself so that even if Ma San walked past him, no one would recognize him.

Yang Dalin waited a while longer before finally meeting Director Hou of the military's special department at a breakfast shop.

Director Hou listened to his account of the situation.

We told him, "We've known about this old devil for a long time. We've been dealing with him for several years, but we still haven't been able to catch him."

Now it's up to you whether you can find any clues.

The small courtyard you discovered nearby has been monitored by other public security units, and our people have taken over its management.

I'll find a place near you and act as a middleman to make contact.

Bicycles, cars, trucks and other means of transportation are all prepared for you.

Be careful.

If you make a discovery, immediately notify comrades Gao Xiaolong and Gao Xiaohu behind you.

You remember those two, right? Before you went on your last mission, you had a sparring match with them.

Yang Dalin glanced at Gao Xiaolong and Gao Xiaohu on another table.

I smiled at the other person.

These two people do know each other.

He was a capable assistant to Director Hou. Yang Dalin didn't know any special moves, but he defeated the two opponents with his speed, strength, and agility.

That's how Yang Dalin got the chance to act alone that time.

However, the fact that these two people couldn't beat Yang Dalin doesn't mean he wasn't a master.

It's just that Yang Dalin is too abnormal.

The other person smiled at Yang Dalin, indicating that they were greeting him.

Director Hou continued, "We've provided you with all kinds of transportation, weapons, and tools. Just let them know if you need any support."

Let's see if we can catch them this time.

We will fully support you.

Yang Dalin nodded seriously.

After finishing his meal, Director Hou left.

Yang Dalin hid in a corner and observed courtyard number 95.

While Ma San was away, Aunt Qi's family members went to work or school.

There were no suspicious people in the vicinity.

Yang Dalin ordered Gao Xiaohu to stay behind with his men.

He then took Gao Xiaolong for a walk around the perimeter of the freight station.

No suspicious persons were found either.

This is really weird.

Shouldn't Old Ghost send someone to inquire about his whereabouts?

Or does he have other channels?

Yang Dalin was not prepared to give up easily and planned to keep an eye on things for a few more days.

Because spies won't easily give themselves away; they might keep watch for several days or even half a month.

The next day, Gao Xiaolong told him that Xu Damao's wife in their backyard and the woman in the nearby courtyard who was being monitored might have an indirect relationship.

Yang Dalin quickly asked what happened.

Gao Xiaolong told him, "Chen Hong, the female owner of the courtyard near yours that is being monitored, went to a silk shop this morning."

We have recorded all the guests who visited the silk shop this morning.

I looked it up.

One of the people inside is Yang Lixue, a classmate and best friend of Wei Xiaona, Xu Damao's wife in your college.

Yang Lixue was Wei Xiaona's high school classmate.

These two didn't get along very well when they were in school. It was only after graduation, especially after Wei Xiaona married into your department, that their relationship improved.

Yang Lixue and Wei Xiaona would occasionally go shopping together.

Chen Hong went to the silk shop this morning, and Yang Lixue went there about ten minutes later.

Therefore, Wei Xiaona is suspected to be related to Yang Lixue.

However, there is no direct evidence yet.

Upon hearing this, Yang Dalin immediately understood why he couldn't find anyone else watching him around the courtyard.

It seems there are indeed suspicious points about Wei Xiaona.

Her appearance was definitely not a coincidence.

Wei Xiaona's classmate went to the silk shop.

This silk shop also received Chen Hong, the lady of the small courtyard who sent the telegram, that morning.

Hehe, it was indeed well hidden.

If it weren't for Gao Xiaolong and his team finding out, I really wouldn't have thought of it.

It turned out that Wei Xiaona was the one who was monitoring his movements in the courtyard.

Wei Xiaona is probably just an escort; she's not professional at all.

If he were professional, he wouldn't have caused trouble for himself at the conference. Instead, he should have taken advantage of his good relationship with Xu Damao to get closer to him.

But because they are unprofessional, they are even less likely to arouse suspicion.

Before this, Yang Dalin had never even considered Wei Xiaona.

I don't know how deeply she's involved.

Perhaps she was just being used by her best friend.

Then her so-called best friend, Yang Lixue, passed the message to Chen Hong, the female spy in the small courtyard, through the silk shop.

Female agent Chen Hong directly transmitted the message via telegram.

She didn't need to have any direct contact with anyone in the No. 95 compound.

This greatly reduced her suspicions.

As for Xu Damao, he may not know anything at all.

He could never have imagined that he would marry a woman suspected of being a spy.

If he finds out, he'll probably regret it to death.

Why would I want a wife from a small capitalist family? People who are used to enjoying a good life after being liberated are too easily dragged down.

If a peasant's child was born into dire straits, their life is much better than it was before liberation.

He will absolutely not be easily dragged down.

Only those whose lives are not as good as before will miss the past even more.

Thinking of this, Yang Dalin said, "There's no need to doubt it. Wei Xiaona was inexplicably hostile towards me at the meeting in our courtyard before."

It seems that it might be caused by her best friend and Qin Huairu from our courtyard.

Qin Huairu also misunderstood me; she was also close to Wei Xiaona.

Then let's focus our investigation on Wei Xiaona's classmate Yang Lixue and the Chen couple from that courtyard.

It was definitely not a coincidence that these two people went to the silk shop.

"Qin Huairu, you should also check on DingTalk and see if there's anything suspicious about her."

Gao Xiaolong nodded and turned to make the arrangements.
