"I, I'll think about it again."

Ma Desheng swallowed and lowered his head again.

He was so confused, there must be something wrong. However, Xie Beichen and the others did not force him to speak, but sat patiently opposite him, waiting for him to think it through.

"Yes, do you have cigarettes?"

Ma Desheng kept his head down in silence for about ten minutes before he slowly raised his head, looked at Gu Tianqi and asked a question.

Gu Tianqi did not disappoint him. He stood up and went out. After a while, he came back with a cigarette box and a pack of matches in his hand, and pushed them to Ma Desheng across the table.

Ma Desheng's hands were shaking, and it took him a long time to take out a filter from the cigarette box and put it in his mouth. However, he still had some trouble lighting the cigarette. His hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't light several matches in a row.

In the end, Xie Beichen stood up, walked over, took the matchbox, and helped him light the cigarette in his hand.

"Thank you."

Ma Desheng took a long puff of his cigarette, calmed down for a while, then looked up at Xie Beichen and the others and said, "I know, I am guilty."

Once he opened his mouth, Ma Desheng had no intention of hiding anything anymore. He simply told Xie Beichen and the others everything he had been trying to hide.

In fact, this matter is not complicated.

Now it is clear that the future of the Revolutionary Committee is fading.

Ma Desheng was not stupid either. He naturally saw the change in the situation, so he began to work hard to find a way out for himself.

However, although he had been domineering in Hongqi County for many years, in reality he was only domineering and arrogant to his subordinates.

You asked him to look for connections, but there were none.

So in the past six months, Ma Desheng seemed calm on the surface, but in fact he was almost anxious to the point of exploding.

Just when Ma Desheng had nowhere else to turn to, this opportunity came to him.

"I met him when I went to the province for a meeting. He was the deputy director of the provincial revolutionary committee. I didn't know him very well, but I saw that everyone around him was very respectful to him, so I thought he must be an important official.

He was the one who found me.

He said that the wind was changing and asked me if I wanted to find a different way of life.

I actually knew in my heart that this situation was not right. Such an opportunity is so rare! For someone like me, even if I don't choose to compromise, I can think of the way out waiting for me.

So I didn't hesitate and immediately agreed to follow their arrangements.

In fact, the other party didn’t ask me to do anything. About a week before the incident, someone came to my house and delivered a big iron box.

This is what the deputy director told me. The things in the box are very important and he asked me to ensure the safety of the box.

When the time is right, someone will be arranged to pick it up.

The box was locked, and I didn't dare to move it, so I put it away, but until now, no one seems to have come to take it."

In fact, after the incident at home, Ma Desheng, who was still in the detention room, also discovered something was wrong.

However, he did not have the courage to speak this out!

After working in the Revolutionary Committee for so many years, he was very aware that he might have been inadvertently involved in a huge trouble.

If this news were to be leaked out, his fate might be worse than the death of his entire family!

“I really don’t know what’s in the box, and I never thought about the background of the deputy minister above me.

I just want to find a way to survive for myself.”

Ma Desheng said this, raised his hand to cover his cheek again, and wailed in pain and sorrow: "I really didn't expect those people to be so cruel!"

"Is that iron box still in your house?"

Gu Tianqi turned his head to look at Xie Beichen, and then looked at Ma Desheng with a little more anxiety in his eyes.

Perhaps, this is the clue that they have not noticed until now!

"I don't know. I put it in a small secret compartment in the backyard of my house. I took it out slowly from there. No one else in my family knows about it except me.

I didn’t touch it when I got home this time, so if nothing unexpected happens, it should still be there.”

Ma Desheng was very confident in his ability to hide things, so he answered Gu Tianqi's question very straightforwardly.

"Then, take us to find it now!"

Gu Tianqi did not dare to delay and immediately stood up and went out to find the public security comrades to submit the application.

With Gu Tianqi's story in mind, the public security comrades naturally did not take it lightly and immediately took Ma Desheng back to the courtyard where he lived.

Ma Desheng took Xie Beichen and the others to the backyard as if he knew the place well. Soon, in the corner of the woodshed, they pulled aside a few gray bricks used as cover and actually pulled out an iron box the size of a suitcase from inside.

"Open!"

When Wenxuan saw that he had made some progress, he did not hesitate at all and turned around to instruct the comrades who had accompanied him.

The young comrade who received the order went to the side and found an axe for chopping wood. With two swings of the axe, he directly chopped the lock hanging on it.

The moment the box was opened, the expressions of the old policemen like Wenxuan, as well as Xie Beichen and Gu Tianqi who were standing nearby, all became extremely serious.

This is……

“Is this a radio station?”

Gu Tianqi took two steps forward and looked at the thing in the box that looked like a radio and was about 70% to 80% new. He asked his doubts without much hesitation.

"It should be." Wenxuan came over and squatted down, carefully studying the small and exquisite device in front of him. After a long time, he nodded and confirmed Gu Tianqi's guess: "But why is there a radio station here?"

"Maybe not." Xie Beichen looked at the equipment that Wenxuan and the others had taken out of the iron box, and after a long while he spoke, "Perhaps, this is a receiving device."

"Receiver?" Gu Tianqi moved closer to check it again, but he was still unsure, so he said to Wenxuan: "Wenxuan, if this thing doesn't work, can you ask someone who knows about it to identify it?"

"We at the police station definitely can't identify this thing." Wen Xuan decisively stuffed all the things to Gu Tianqi: "I still have to trouble you two comrades to run a trip back to the base and ask your unit's communications department to help take a look at what this thing is!"

"to make."

Gu Tianqi answered very straightforwardly, and while saying it, he put the thing back into the iron box where it had been placed before.

"We'll send it over now, and we'll call you as soon as we get the news!"

While Gu Tianqi was communicating with Wenxuan, Xie Beichen had already picked up the iron box, turned around and walked towards the car.

Knowing that this matter could not be delayed, Xie Beichen and Gu Tianqi quickly got into the car and drove towards the base.
