The first-class carriage and the supporting sleeping car, that is, the sleeper carriage, are hung in the position closest to the locomotive of the whole train, which is the need for heating supply, the hot steam is delivered from the front of the train, the first-class carriage is as warm as spring, and the third-class carriage at the end of the sequence is not so happy, all relying on people crowding together for warmth.

If it is summer, then the situation is reversed, the first class car should be hung at the end of the sequence, because the summer weather is hot, the black smoke with a large amount of coal ash coming out of the front chimney will make the first car near the water and the platform suffer, if you don't open the window, you will have to die of heat, the lesser of two evils, you have to suffer from soot.

On the platform, the passengers of the first-class carriage walked unhurriedly, as if they were strolling leisurely, and one wife even led a pug, the dog was wearing a splendid little padded jacket, and two hundred meters away, the passengers of the third-class carriage were still desperately hanging themselves on the carriage, which was the difference between heaven and hell.

During the Republic of China, the price of train tickets was doubled by the ladder system, the third-class carriage fare was 10 yuan, the second-class carriage was 20 yuan, the first-class carriage was 40 yuan, plus the sleeping car sleeper ticket, at least 60 yuan, which was more expensive than the third-class carriage, and the comfort was exchanged for expensive money.

At the door of the first-class carriage, the two conductors with golden hoops lined up on both sides, waiting for passengers to get on the train, and checked the tickets by the way, Liu Yanzhi and others boarded the train smoothly and found their seats according to the number marked on the ticket, the train ticket in 1948 is not much different from the 1984 one, it is a small cardboard card, printed with the date of the train fare seat number, which is exactly a row of three seats.

When I entered the carriage, I found that there was a lot of luggage here, the luggage rack was full of large suitcases, and the seats were also stuffed with things.

"Are these people also running alone?" Liu Yan said bluntly.

"You're right." Dang Aiguo said, "They also carry some goods along the way, subsidize the family, but the level is relatively high, piggybacking on imported goods, Western medicine, milk powder, glass stockings and the like, than them are more advanced single helpers, specializing in flying from Nanjing and Shanghai to Guangzhou, tossing gold dollars or something, the profit is very large, during the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Zikun's wives also did this, running back and forth between Hong Kong and Chongqing, making some difference." ”

Fifteen minutes later, the train has not yet started, the party patriotically looked at the watch, it has passed the departure time, this year's train delay is a common thing, but the seat opposite is still empty, it doesn't seem quite right, because the whole carriage is full, and there are even a few friends brought by the conductor at the train connection, but they are just standing there, not daring to come and sit in these empty seats.

After another ten minutes, on the third-class carriage, the people who should have gotten on the train were almost finished, but the train still hadn't left, and the party couldn't help but be a little anxious.

A shiny Buick sedan drove directly onto the platform, parked at the door of the first-class carriage, the driver got out of the car first, pulled the car door, and a young man in a navy blue suit came down from inside, he combed the oily and slippery airplane head, and the red and blue striped tie was pinned with a gold tie clip, which looked like an idle little open, but between the gestures, there was a different kind of capable and wise.

Xiao Kai also brought two entourages, the same suits and leather shoes, but the texture and cut were obviously inferior, the three of them boarded the train, sat down opposite Liu Yanzhi and others, and the express train to Nanjing slowly started.

"Sir, I see you're familiar." That Xiao Kai stared at the party patriot very impolitely for a few seconds, and suddenly opened his mouth.

"I'm a public face, and everyone looks at me like an acquaintance." Dang Aiguo said indifferently, in fact, he had already seen that the three people opposite were not simple, they were by no means the children of rich families, but powerful personnel such as military and police gendarins, and the momentum of Xiao Kai was very high, only the old military commanders had this spectrum, and the two entourages were full of light in their eyes, and their waists were bulging, and they were obviously capable field agents.

"The surname is Shen, from the Secret Bureau." Xiao Kai took out his business card and handed it over, he did not hide his identity as an agent, and even felt a little proud.

Hearing the words of the Secret Bureau, the passengers next to him suddenly looked sideways with a look of panic.

Dang Aiguo took the business card with both hands, saw Shen Kai's name printed on it, and smiled lightly: "It turned out to be Chief Shen, I have been looking up for a long time." ”

Shen Kai was stunned: "You know me?" ”

Dang Aiguo said: "Chief Shen is a primary school classmate of Chen Dashuai's brother-in-law, and later worked with Boss Dai in Chongqing. ”

This time Shen Kai was confused, in fact, he didn't know the party and patriotism, he just felt that the other party was like a fat sheep, and he wanted to rob and extort something, but he didn't expect to run into hard stubble.

"Sir, it's ......," Shen Kai's tone was no longer so high.

"I work for NAVY." There was a mysterious smile on the face of the party's patriotic face, Shen Kai was in awe, it turned out that the other party was the predecessor of the intelligence department, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Military Administration and the Intelligence Agency of the US Navy Staff cooperated to establish the Sino-US Special Technical Cooperation Institute, training agents and fighters behind enemy lines, and carrying out special operations against the Japanese occupation forces.

"Smoking." Shen Kai took out a pure gold cigarette case, opened it and asked three friends of the "United States Navy" to smoke camel cigarettes.

"Thanks, I'll smoke this." The party patriotically took out his own good color cigarettes, whether it was a camel or a good color, they were all cigarettes of American friends, everyone laughed in unison, there was a great sense of sympathy for each other, heroes know heroes, took out lighters, and politely lit cigarettes with each other.

In these years, not only was smoking allowed in the train, but also smoking was not allowed in the plane, and the six agents swallowed the clouds and spit out fog, talking loudly, talking about the exchange rate of US dollar bills, the price of penicillin, and the secrets of various high-ranking military and political officials, and bursts of laughter from time to time.

What kind of person is the party patriotism, a doctor of history from Jiangdong University, specializing in modern history, and has seen a vast amount of historical materials, documents, archives, memoirs, diaries, etc., all of which are secrets, Shen Kai is a major in the Secret Bureau, and he knows not a few secrets, but compared with the party patriotism, it is simply pediatric.

In the corner of the carriage, two men in long shirts and glasses always held newspapers in front of them, glancing over from time to time, this was the surveillance agent sent by Chen Zikun.

From Omi to Nanjing, the train has to travel for eight hours, the long journey has become interesting because of the enthusiastic companions, Shen Kai wants to make friends with the party and patriotism, invite them to the dining car to eat, after eating and play cards, play poker on the table, of course, it is to win or lose, both sides take out the dollar bills to bet, unconsciously played for a few hours, the party patriotism is full of banknotes, this is not Shen Kai deliberately released water, but the skills are really inferior to people.

The crossing team brought enough high-tech equipment, and there was a miniature projector in the party's patriotic glasses, which could see the other party's cards through the camera that Liu Yan placed on the hook of the carriage behind Shen Kai, and it was strange if he didn't win money.

Shen Kai lost more than 1,000 US dollars, his face turned green, although he was the head of the secret service of the Secret Bureau, but he didn't have so much money, he wanted to turn over the book, and he didn't even have money in his pocket.

Dang Aiguo is a caring person, he smiled and said: "Xiao Shen, if you don't admit defeat, you will come again, I will lend it to you." As he spoke, he pushed the money over.

Shen Kai gritted his teeth, and then gambled, not surprisingly, when he arrived at Nanjing Xiaguan Railway Station, he had already lost 10,000 US dollars, according to the ratio of US dollars to gold, it was 8,880 grams of gold, almost close to three hundred taels of gold, and ten taels of big yellow croaker also got thirty.

"Mr. Zhou, let's find a place to continue playing." Shen Kai, who was in a hurry, still wanted to turn over the book, and used the pseudonym Zhou Muyun's Dang Aiguo who was willing to entangle with him, snapped his fingers, Liu Yanzhi took the suitcase from the luggage rack, opened the combination lock, and revealed cartons printed in English.

"Penicillin!" Shen Kai's eyes lit up, although after the end of World War II, penicillin can be mass-produced, and it is also produced in China, but it is still in short supply, especially the original imported from the United States, which are in demand in hospital pharmacies, Mr. Zhou is amazing, a box of penicillin, how powerful can this person do.

What Major Shen didn't know was that these precious penicillins would be called penicillin seventy years later, and they could be bought at any health center for eight cents a piece, and no one wanted to use them.

Dang Aiguo said: "I won you so much money, I'm embarrassed, Xiao Shen will sell these Western medicines for me, just give me the cost price." ”

"That's embarrassing." Shen Kai hurriedly excused himself, in fact, he was already moved.

Dang Aiguo said: "There are so many of these things in the naval warehouse, and if they are not sold, they will expire, so you can take them." ”

"If there is a place where you can use your little brother, you can call at any time and be on call." Shen Kai nodded, thought about it and added, "Where are you going, I'll send a car to deliver it." ”

"You're welcome, we've got an arrangement." The party patriotic declined Shen Kai's kindness, and took Lei Meng and Liu Yan straight into the bustling flow of people out of the station.

"What are you doing with him?" Liu Yanzhi asked, "A dog agent." ”

Dang Aiguo said leisurely: "This person is very powerful, after the liberation of Hong Kong, the founder of the 14K has a share of him, and later is the high-level of the Bamboo Union Gang, when he died in the 90s, Lee Teng-Hui went to mourn, let's come here, there must be a local to help, find him the most suitable." ”

After leaving the train station, the three of them took the train to Chung-Ang University to find Professor Lu, who is said to have collected a lot of information about Dragon Ball.

Central University was a famous university in the Republic of China, the predecessor of Nanjing University, and when they came to the gate of the university, it was already in full bloom. Today is Christmas, but the streets of Nanjing are solemn, the war situation is unfavorable, and no one is thinking about the holiday.

After a lot of effort and a few boxes of cigarettes, they finally found out where Professor Lu lived, but when they arrived at the house on Sanshan Street, the people who lived inside said that Professor Lu had moved out.

"Ah, you know where they moved to?" Dang Aiguo asked in a mouthful of Nanjing.

"I don't know." The tenant looked honest and looked slightly unnatural.

Dang Aiguo snapped his fingers, "Yanzhi, you come to ask." ”

Liu Yan showed his documents: "From the Secret Bureau, you either say it now, or go back with me to suffer a little." His cold gaze crossed the tenant's shoulder, fell on the wife and children in the house, and added, "Take it away with the whole family." ”

"Please, I really don't know." The tenant's face turned pale with fright, of course he understood that the Secret Service was the former military commander, a lawless spy agency that killed people without blinking, and if they entered their cave, the family would be finished.

"And what do you know?" The party patriotic asked.

"There are several groups of people who have come to find Professor Lu, and there are foreign devils, the Lu family was afraid, so they hurriedly sold the house to me, and the price is not high, I really don't know where they went."

This should be the truth, Dang Aiguo nodded, took people out, found a pawnshop that was still in business, showed his ID and borrowed their phone, and called Shen Kai, the major of the Secret Bureau, who owed him three hundred taels of gold.

"Xiao Shen, I'm Zhou Muyun, help me find someone, a professor of Chinese literature at Central University, his name is Lu Weizheng."
