"But what about me?" Li Fengzhu smiled sincerely from the bottom of his heart, "If you want to say that I am old and young, then what I just said has already shown my determination." But if you want me to say I'm a woman, you should know my answer. ”

The voice on the other end of the phone showed a bit of hesitation: "So...... Take care, I can't help you much, but I promise you your safety until your family boards the ship!"

Li Fengzhu smiled and nodded, with tears in his eyes: "This is a big busy." As for the money, I'll send it as soon as possible. Please also worry about the ferry ticket. ”

"I have one last sentence, this phone call was made by the editor of the "Morning Post" surnamed Zhang, and the content was to ask for your agency's consent to reprint the relevant report on the case of Ma Shouhua's abandonment of his relatives. ”

"Understood, I will reply to your company as soon as possible. ”

Hanging up the phone, Li Fengzhu secretly said that she hadn't seen this senior for a few years, and her mind had become more and more delicate, and she had even thought of this point in advance that Ta Kung Pao might not be foolproof.

"Mi Si Li, someone sent a burden up, saying it was for you. ”

As he spoke, the mailroom man rested his things on his desk.

Li Fengzhu opened it and saw that it was a women's handbag, and the workmanship and leather revealed a lot of valuable information. Unbuttoned copper, a red shawl, and a pair of glasses with brown lenses. When you look up to your eyes, you can see a flat mirror with no power. In the middle of the mezzanine is a small note with the words "Dawn Street at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning".

It must have been sent by Tang Shubai.

In Li Fengzhu's opinion, it is really bigger than the sky, so he must want to go, but he can't make up his mind, whether to inform Xu Xinqi or not. Tang Shubai is a traitor after all, he can be used but must not be trusted. and Xu Xinqi had an explanation in advance, one is to avoid suspicion, and the other is also for safety considerations. However, since Li Fengzhu found out in the past few days, Xu Xinqi kept a lot of information that was conducive to her investigation, so she was a little hesitant.

After much thought, she decided to try to talk.

So, he walked to Xu Xinqi's office and asked: "Director, I still remember that last time I mentioned that at the party held by the wife of the prosecutor, Tang Shubai and I accidentally overheard a conversation. If we do, we will have to blame me for overdoing it, and I have a somewhat tough attitude towards Editor-in-Chief Wang, which makes him refuse to cooperate with me. ”

Even if he didn't provoke Wang Fuchun, even if Wang Fuchun cooperated very well to ask Tang Shubai for words, whether this news could be reported or not. Xu Xinqi thought about it, and first handed over the manuscript he was reading in his hand, so that Li Fengzhu could look at it first. Then he said, "That's the question...... A person who can decide whether or not to use the method of public trial in a case of renunciation will not be too low. Also, although our consensus is not to point out that the real culprit behind the scenes is the Japanese forces in any article, it makes no difference to say that it is broken. ”

Li Fengzhu looked down at the manuscript, it turned out to be a personal interview with Ma Shouhua written by Chen Yanping. He asked with both heart: "Listening to the meaning of this, does the director suspect that the person who approved the public trial may not only vent his personal anger, but also may be suspected of treason and collaboration with the enemy?"

"This ...... I don't dare to talk nonsense, and that's not my point. Xu Xinqi got up, walked behind Li Fengzhu, held the chair pole in his hand, and sighed, "We must recognize a situation." ran a newspaper in the Japanese concession, but he always offended the Japanese. Now we have to dig up the problem of government officials again, if the purpose of the troublemakers is simple. But if, as you said, we are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, I am afraid that the Nanjing side will sprinkle our anger on us. He lowered his head and attached it to Li Fengzhu's ear, "I got the news privately that the hole cards of the government against Japan have been directly placed on the desk of the Japanese emperor. ”

If this is true, the top of the government has simply been infiltrated into a sieve, and at the same time, it has also provided a greater basis for their suspicions. Li Fengzhu's hand trembled, and he raised his eyes in surprise with a frown.

Xu Xinqi nodded and expressed his worries: "Once this opening is torn open, from the local to the central, how many people will go crazy for self-preservation? At this level, I hope you will be cautious. ”

Li Fengzhu held up the manuscript and typed it on the table, expressing his determination: "It was my idea not to disclose the tricks of the Japanese secret services when the conditions do not allow. So, Director, you should see that I don't pride myself on being paranoid about making everything public. Actually, you can let me know the identity of this person, and trust me not to mess around. ”

Xu Xinqi hurriedly explained: "Don't don't, I want to make this clear." I really don't know, and I don't mean to hide it from you. ”

Li Fengzhu sneered secretly and asked rhetorically, "You haven't asked the editor-in-chief on the side?"

The difference in the name revealed the disappointment in Li Fengzhu's heart.

Xu Xinqi shook his head helplessly, retreated to his chair and sat down: "It's been discussed." But what the editor-in-chief means is that since we are willing to sacrifice the public investigation report for Ma Shouhua's safety, we should be good people to the end and send Buddha to the West. The number one threat to his personal safety has always been a Japanese spy, and we who do news should not make enemies for him everywhere in a plain way. If this kind of thing is not said well, perhaps his old man will suspect that we are stirring up the relationship between him and the government. ”

Li Fengzhu's face became colder and colder, and said, "He's an old man...... Who is it?"

Wang Fuchun doesn't look like a person who will be afraid of Ma Shouhua, his attitude should be for the sake of the real power.

"Director, so if it's really about collaborating with the enemy, your choice is to be silent, right?"

Xu Xinqi was stunned for a moment, and then tested Li Fengzhu's meaning: "You want to choose to make it public, right?"

Li Fengzhu did not shy away from his head and said: "I know that there will be trouble in public, but I shouldn't be a reporter if I'm afraid of trouble." We concealed the truth of the abandonment case so that Ma Shouhua could return to the battlefield alive. But to shield the traitor, I don't know why. ”

Xu Xinqi silently took back the manuscript from her hand, read it from the title again, and then said: "If you hypothetical, it's worthless, so don't talk about it." ”

###

At night, Li Fengzhu picked up the lamp and finished the translation required by Lu Naiwen, and he didn't mention it. At nine o'clock the next day, I got up to freshen up, and when I arrived at Shu Street, it was not yet the appointed time.

But the location on the note is very vague. Li Fengzhu carried a bag in one hand and a shawl in the other, so he had to walk around.

Akehum Street, at first glance, seems to be the place of light. In fact, it is just a flower street in the Japanese concession, and everywhere you see is a Japanese restaurant selling dog meat with sheep's heads, and the most imposing building in the whole street is the "Geisha Management Office". Wherever Japanese men go, they are always unwilling to treat their desires badly. According to Li Fengzhu's ears, Japan has an extremely strict management system for this unspeakable industry, and every practitioner must register, and those who are registered are easily not allowed to leave Akebono Street. This creates the uniqueness of the street routine, which is silent at night and does not rest until dawn. During the day, few people except for the helpers come out to do so.

At this time, I can occasionally meet a few geisha, presumably just finished buying and selling. The popular ones can come back in a sedan chair, while more people come back alone and only drag their steps. They had nothing on them but fine clothes. Without money and documents, let alone going home, you can't get out of the concession. The bustard is not afraid of them running, and even a few car dollars have been saved.

Li Fengzhu walked on the street, and when he saw such a situation, he felt a little awkward. She also thought that Tang Shubai was in a bad situation at the moment, and in order to avoid being noticed in his actions, it seemed that he had to do a little superficial article to cover up. And Shujie is just right.

One went back and forth, but still didn't meet Tang Shubai, Li Fengzhu couldn't help but be a little anxious. Luckily, there was a whistle on the side of the road at this time.

Li Fengzhu slowed down, turned around and bent over to confirm before getting into the car.

Tang Shu made a blank face, his mouth was tightly closed, and he pointed to the watch on his wrist, looking like he was about to get angry.

Li Fengzhu was a little stunned by his side, shrunk his neck, and glanced at the time secretly: "Actually, I ......"

"We've lost five minutes of preparation time. Tang Shubai carried the briefcase to the back seat, flew over Li Fengzhu's head, took out a bust inside, and continued, "Guan Maocai, director of the inspection department of the Jinmen District Court, is firm in his diplomatic attitude. In the summer of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, Ma Shouhua returned to Haizhou from the Soviet Union via Europe, during which he secretly went to Lushan to ask Chairman Chiang for war. And during that time, Guan Maocai was also in Lushan. ”

Li Fengzhu, whose eyes were full of energy, immediately recognized him: "The protagonist of the Cool Dance Party is Mrs. Guan! Are we going to look for him in a moment? You said that he and Ma Shouhua appeared in Lushan at the same time three years ago, so it is very likely that they will talk about the issue of dealing with Japan." So the person who has married Ma Shouhua is ...... But I've been to his house, and I've never confronted him, but I'm ......."

Tang Shubai danced his hand and asked her to calm down: "Don't worry, what I'm going to today is his small mansion, and everyone from the master to the helper is a group of fresh faces." Guan Maocai married a new aunt last month, and he was planning to entertain friends today, so I had a reason to come to congratulate him. ”

When Li Fengzhu heard this, he became more and more anxious: "Will there be people I know?"

Tang Shubai said, "So we must act in the morning when there are few people." ”

Li Fengzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately sneered contemptuously: "It seems that he treats you as a friend." ”

Tang Shubai spread his hands: "Friends, there are those who stick knives in the ribs of their brothers, and there are those who stick knives in their brothers." Moreover, it is not I who started it, but he owes it to me. ”

Li Fengzhu didn't look interested in his explanation, and instead asked, "What do you want me to do for you, and what can I get?"
