Chapter 166: Gradually Revealing the Horse's Feet
After about ten minutes, Li Fengzhu came back and sat down casually, took out the workbook on the desk, and immediately discussed business: "Have you noticed that a topic has disappeared?"
Chen Yanping looked at her squeezed toe that was about to break and was stunned, and then shook his head wordlessly.
Li Fengzhu bowed slightly, indicating that he was not surprised by this answer, and then said: "Professor Jia has not talked about Ma Shouhua for a long time. Although he still preached patriotism everywhere, he completely abandoned the plan to comfort General Ma, and at the same time never mentioned his crazy admiration and admiration for the anti-Japanese heroes, this subtle change made me feel like he was discarding a useless chess piece. ”
"Useless...... Chen Yanping smacked his touch, and thought about extending down this line of thought, suddenly slapped the table, and suddenly said in a firm voice, "Useless! By the way, there is something you probably don't know yet." There aren't many reporters here today, do you know why?"
"Is today's speech temporarily arranged?" Li Fengzhu confidently put down his pen, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, expressing full confidence.
Chen Yanping nodded, touched his chin with his hand, and pondered: "Yes and no." I got the news from the student union that Nankai has two activities related to industry and commerce in this month. One is to invite Professor Jia to give a lecture in Nankai, and the other is a unified activity of the academic community. Professor Jia's speech was originally scheduled for the 20th of this month, but last night, or more precisely this morning, the time was suddenly changed to 11 o'clock. As you know, the morning is the time off for most newspapers. In this case, it is unlikely that the reporter will be so well informed, so change the attendance plan as soon as possible. ”
Li Fengzhu sneered and said, "In this way, it is very noteworthy that we can still 'meet' in the auditorium today. Jia Qianzhong temporarily changed his itinerary, and Fang Xiaorou was the only reporter who arrived accurately except for you. Also, Jia Qianzhong is under the banner of anti-Japanese patriotism, but every time he makes a speech, he always gains the opposite effect, and this negative effect is conducive to Fang Xiaorou's position, which has to make people suspicious. ”
Chen Yanping bit his nose and showed hesitation on his face: "However, why does the academic community still maintain a cooperative relationship with Jia Qianzhong? As far as I know, there are already problems such as dissatisfaction with his excessive subjective consciousness and lack of sense of cooperation, and some people have even mentioned that he may not really resist Japan." However, everyone is only speculating, and he has never been forbidden to participate in academic activities. In such a contingent of intellectuals, there must be someone who has the discernment to see through it, right? However, the Industrial and Commercial School is very protective of him, and is willing to guarantee in the name of the university that he is absolutely for the good of the country in his heart. After that, he scratched his forehead in embarrassment and kept shaking his head to show that he did not have a definite conclusion in his mind.
Li Fengzhu listened to his hesitation in his voice, so he pondered for a long time before he asked: "Maybe the problem lies in the Daily News Agency!" Such a notorious traitor newspaper writes every day just to scold Jia Quanzhong, which subconsciously gives people a hint that everyone will think that this person is a thorn in the side of the traitor, so the problem on him is just that he is more than enthusiastic and has not been able to find the right way. Therefore, let's put aside the intertwined interpersonal relationships first, and only study Jia Qianzhong's personal words and deeds. First of all, he is a man who lives on a salary under the scientific education system, which is completely inconsistent with the radical statements he makes. This gives reason to believe that his statement was dictated. ”
After her analysis, Chen Yanping suddenly became enlightened: "One with a red face and one with a white face." yes, it's that simple, I'm just now trying to figure it out. ”
"Because the academic circles could not grasp the evidence, they never dared to exclude Jia Quanzhong from participating in the patriotic movement with a tough attitude, and finally let him 'self-defeating' again and again. Li Fengzhu unfolded the headlines of major newspapers one by one.
Chen Yanping leaned his head over to take a closer look, and couldn't help but sigh: "The reader has long been preconceived, and our conclusions are only based on logical inference, and we rashly publish them to make people laugh." ”
Li Fengzhu nodded and replied, "Of course we can't say anything nonsense without empirical evidence, but ...... Since superficial articles can't stand scrutiny, they should no longer be led by the nose. ”
Chen Yanping naturally agreed with the meaning of her words, and did not publicly express her position on this matter for the time being, and asked with a frown at Xu Xinqi's empty desk: "But how can we explain to the top?"
Li Fengzhu held the pen and kept knocking on the table, and his eyes also looked at Xu Xinqi's workstation. He is undercover on an undercover visit, and for the sake of concealment, he can only take the initiative to show up and contact, so I am afraid that there is no way to discuss this matter with him. If he had to ask for instructions from above, Wang Fuchun would not only not object, but would probably be very satisfied with the removal of the report that was unfavorable to the East. Thinking of this, Li Fengzhu picked up the idea firmly: "Chen Jun, you hurry up and tidy up and fill up the empty pages as much as possible." Of course, don't worry, if something goes wrong, I'll be responsible for it to the end. And from tomorrow onwards, you need to keep an eye on Jia Duzhong without relaxing for a moment. With such a shrewd person, it may not be easy to outwit, so you can only work hard. ”
Chen Yanping got up, nodded solemnly, and sure enough, it was done. Within two days, it became clear that the academic circles were organizing a highly confidential peace speech, and the planned date was 20 June, the day Jia Qianzhong had originally scheduled to go to Nankai to give a speech.
On the other hand, Xu Xinqi turned to the newspaper office to deliver the news, he had successfully passed the threshold of Dongxing Building's screening, and after entering Hongjili, the first order he received was to be on call at any time within one week from the 18th to the 25th. The duration of this order coincides with the date of the speech planned by the academic community. Li Fengzhu, who received the news, analyzed that this matter may not be explained simply by coincidence.
In the unannounced visit to Dongxinglou Restaurant, Xu Xinqi saw the owner surnamed Jin from afar. The errand of the restaurant kept the old saying, and still called him "golden shopkeeper" in private. However, the restaurant is located in the concession area, so it is natural to call him "Manager Jin" in a more fashionable way of saying to the outside world. The man was about thirty years old, and looked very gentle, with a fair and thin face, and a somewhat slender figure, which seemed to be a yard smaller than his wife. When Xu Xinqi saw him, he was wearing a dark pattern robe of black satin, and the small gown of his coat was inlaid with gold threads with wide edges. Manager Jin also combed his hair very elegantly, his lower lip was a little thick, and his smile was very naughty. In short, it is a rich and leisurely image of a broad young master.
Li Fengzhu couldn't help but question, such a number one person, and running such a generous restaurant, the guests are all dignitaries. It stands to reason that Manager Jin's identity should be very transparent in Jinmen. To put it simply, playing with mystery is also a common business tactic. To put it more complicated, this kind of behavior is very much like a secret agent with a hidden identity.
And the closer the 18th day gets, the less information Chen Yanping can gain from this line. It can be seen that the leader in charge of organizing this event has an extremely rigorous attitude and will never easily disclose relevant news. After waiting for many more days, Chen Yanping urgently hung up a phone call from the school on the morning of 22 July to the newspaper office, saying that the school community had decided to assemble at the Italian Garden at 1 p.m. In order not to fall short at the last moment, everyone unified their voices and contacted and communicated with patriotic teachers and students of major universities in the name of academic exchanges.
This Italian garden, as the name suggests, is located in the Italian Concession. By choosing to operate here, we could not only avoid the authorities' wanton arrest of progressive intellectuals in the name of suppressing the Communist Party, but also avoid sabotage by Oriental agents to a certain extent. And the Italian Garden is adjacent to Marco Polo Square, which is the landmark of the Italian Concession, which is very conducive to strengthening the momentum of the speech.
Not long after, Xu Xinqi also secretly asked someone to send a note, informing Li Fengzhu in code that he had received an urgent task temporarily, and he would go to the Italian concession with the men and horses of Hongjili at noon.
Looking at the two clues together, Li Fengzhu immediately came to the conclusion that all the previous inferences could probably be confirmed today. So I picked the most compact camera in the club, went home and got an unfashionable trench coat, and hung it on my arm, just to make a more perfect cover.
Mrs. Li followed her and asked questions such as why she came back suddenly, whether she was going out, whether she came back for lunch, and so on.
Li Fengzhu answered them one by one, rushed to the door on tiptoe, and was about to raise his legs, when he suddenly remembered that now his son had returned to her. Fu turned around again, a pair of dark eyes turned around the small room, and soon found Xiao Rufu cowering by the window. He was holding a small colored building block in his hand, holding it to his mouth, completely looking like he was reluctant to put it down, wanted to play but didn't dare to play.
As a mother, Li Fengzhu saw this expression, and she really had mixed feelings. She turned around and glanced at the old lady, just in time to see her old man pouting, and secretly poked a few times at Xiao Rufu with one finger, which was to show her daughter to take care of the children's emotions more, and she couldn't give an explanation without being busy with herself.
Comprehending, Li Fengzhu smiled and nodded to his mother, then walked up to Xiao Rufu and touched his head. In order to take the meaning of starting from scratch, Mrs. Li borrowed a clipper to shave the size of her little grandson. After a large section of the original plush hair was gone, it became a little prickly. Li Fengzhu smiled and said, "Good boy, probably you are going to be disappointed in your mother." Which mother in this world does not put her own flesh and blood in the first place, following behind her with her heart and liver, chasing her children, nagging about eating, dressing, and studying. But mom can't, mom can't just revolve around you, mom has to work......"
Xiao Rufu didn't wait for her to finish, nodded her head twice, and replied quickly: "Mom's time belongs to 40,000 people's readers." After speaking, he raised his head very proudly, and a pair of smart black eyes flashed with anticipation, probably waiting to be praised.
