Chapter 51: The Traitor
Wu Tongguang looked at the sunny sky after the rain, and several people were happy, very happy, and said, "Okay, the sky is sunny after the rain." I'm going to have two drinks after work today, and I'll have to drink a lot of wine by then! ”
Compared with the laughter and laughter in Wu Tongguang's office, Lin Xiaotian seemed a little lifeless sitting alone in the office.
Lin Xiaotian leaned on the comfortable office chair, but he felt uncomfortable. He was thinking that Wu Tongguang had ostensibly made meritorious contributions and discovered the address of a Nanjing liaison station, but he did not arrest a weighty underground party, nor did he find enough clues to allow the Nanjing station to continue to investigate.
Wu Tongguang's discovery was limited to the surface, with quantity but not quality, and did not have any strategic value at all. The only value may be to allow Xiao Guodong to write a heavy pen in the materials reported to Chongqing.
On the contrary, Xu Bohao not only injured Huang Tianfeng by mistake in this operation, but also personally pulled the information network that he had created and painstakingly operated for many years. The losses caused by this to the intelligence work of the Nanjing Station in the future were enormous. The consequence of this operation is that the losses far outweigh the gains.
Lin Xiaotian thought about it, and couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "Wu Tongguang! Wu Tongguang! Can I still trust you this time? ”
Wu Tongguang knew very well that although this plan had successfully torn up the military intelligence network that had endangered the underground party in Nanjing for many years, he also took the opportunity to get promoted. But Lin Xiaotian already had a high degree of doubt about himself. Shang Qingyuan was also very aware of this, and did not take the initiative to contact Wu Tongguang.
But when Wu Tongguang was resting at home on the weekend and cleaning the yard. He suddenly found a note at the door, Wu Tongguang didn't pick it up immediately, but continued to pretend to clean up. It wasn't until he cleaned the gate of the courtyard that Wu Tongguang bent down to pick up the note when he pretended to tie his shoes.
Wu Tongguang pretended to be indifferent, first stretched his waist, and then looked around vigilantly. In fact, Wu Tongguang's main thing is to see if there is anyone on the second floor of his neighbor's house to monitor him.
Wu Tongguang put the broom away and walked back to the house slowly. After entering the house, Wu Tongguang quickly opened the note in his hand. There was a sentence written on the note that seemed very inexplicable to ordinary people. But Wu Tongguang could tell at a glance that it was the message that Shang Qingyuan left for him to meet, "Ten o'clock South Street Market".
Wu Tongguang arrived at the South Street Market at half past nine. Wu Tongguang turned around in the pretended market, went to this stall to have a look, and asked at that stall.
When Wu Tongguang turned to the end of the street, he looked at the watch in his hand, and the hands on the watch pointed to ten o'clock. Wu Tongguang looked around for a while, and saw a black car parked in the alley that turned in front of him. Wu Tongguang seemed to see the target, and slowly walked in the direction of the car.
Wu Tongguang walked to the front of the car, directly opened the co-pilot's door, and sat in.
After getting into the car, Wu Tongguang's eyes lit up first, and it was Shang Qingyuan who sat in the driver's seat, but he wore a dark blue suit today, and he also wore the most fashionable woolen coat outside.
Wu Tongguang asked jokingly: "Lao Shang, you are fast enough!" It's only been a few days, and I've dressed myself up as a personable boy! ”
Shang Qingyuan frowned slightly, looked down at his clothes, and felt a little awkward, and said, "No way, wearing the previous clothes, and driving the current car is too eye-catching." ”
Wu Tongguang lowered his head and tidied up his tunic suit, sighed, and said, "Yes! Or our own Chinese clothes are comfortable to wear! ”
Shang Qingyuan nodded non-denial, and continued, "By the way, you spent a gold bar last time to find out the news, I'll help you write down this account first, and then the funds are sufficient......"
Wu Tongguang waved his hand again and again, interrupting Shang Qingyuan's words, and said, "Money can only be called money when it is spent, and I can't earn interest on those few gold bars, so it's better to spend them to do something valuable!" By the way, why are you in such a hurry to find me this time? ”
Shang Qingyuan turned his body to the side, and said with a solemn face, "There is indeed an urgent matter for you to inquire, and the matter is like this......"
According to Shang Qingyuan's account, things should be like this. Just yesterday morning, the top leader of the underground party in Nanjing, that is, Shang Qingyuan's higher-level leader, received an urgent secret telegram. It was sent by the Shanghai underground party, and the contents of the secret telegram were roughly as follows.
Three days ago, the underground party of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai had a very important item to be sent to Yan'an, and it was inconvenient for the underground party in Shanghai to disclose what kind of important item it was, so even Shang Qingyuan did not know.
The Shanghai underground party sent three experienced comrades to accomplish this task, thinking that the trip would be foolproof.
But when passing through Nanjing, an accident happened. Three comrades were intercepted, and as a result, two were killed and one was wounded. Fortunately, the wounded comrade escaped from the round-up with this important object, settled in Nanjing, and contacted his organization with the emergency contact method explained in Shanghai in advance, hoping that the Shanghai underground party could get in touch with the Nanjing underground party and help him leave Nanjing and send this important item to Yan'an safely.
And what is certain in this information of the Shanghai underground party is that there are indeed important items shipped to Yan'an, but there is an accident on the way. The information that followed was provided by the survivor via cipher, and it is not yet possible to discern whether the truth is true or false. Therefore, the opinion of the Shanghai side is to first screen whether the survivors have defected, and then study the next action.
The core leadership of the Nanjing underground party organized a special meeting on this matter and made a full discussion. The results of the discussion are basically the same as the conclusions of the Shanghai underground party. The three comrades were rounded up together, and only one survived, and it was this person who escaped from the roundup with this important object, the reason for which is intriguing!
Shang Qingyuan said this, Wu Tongguang also roughly understood Shang Qingyuan's purpose for asking him to come this time, but he still asked, "What do you mean is that you are afraid that this comrade in Harbin has already defected, and deliberately set up a trap to trap our comrades." ”
Shang Qingyuan nodded noncommittally and said, "One more thing, it's very strange. This comrade actually chose the location of the joint at the Jixiang Hotel on Nanfu Street. I have sent someone to investigate, and the Jixiang Hotel is located right in the middle of Nanfu Street, there is no intersection within 100 meters before and after, and the hotel has no back door. If our people go to the joint and something really happens, then our comrades will face a desperate situation of being blocked from front to back. Tongguang, so I want to ask you, did the Nanjing station carry out any arrest missions this time? ”
