Chapter 2 Code 'Scalpel'
By this time, it was already the evening of December 6, and according to the predetermined plan known internally, three days later, Luján would declare an uprising.
The time left for Zhao Zhengyuan and Li Anping was less than three days.
Zhao Zhengyuan quickly divided the labor, he wanted to inform Lu Han not to pass through Fuxian Tower in the near future, of course, with his identity, he couldn't tell Lu Han in person; He asked Li Anping to go to Fuxian Tower to inspect the situation and find a suitable time to assassinate the "barber".
Before going out, Zhao Zhengyuan took out the pistol on his body and stuffed it to Li Anping, Li Anping wondered that the master and apprentice only had one gun on each of them, so Zhao Zhengyuan had no guns.
Zhao Zhengyuan put the gun back and said, "It's better for you to inform Chairman Lu that I will deal with the 'barber'." ”
"Master, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say I'm going to kill the 'barber'? Zhao Zhengyuan is usually a decisive person, and Li Anping felt that Zhao Zhengyuan was not only hesitant today, but also had a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.
This was something he had never seen in Zhao Zhengyuan, even if the two of them mixed into the county seat of the Japanese-occupied area and burned their granary under the noses of the heavily armed Japanese soldiers, Zhao Zhengyuan never showed the slightest timidity and uneasiness.
"No, no, no...... Or I'll go, take, give me your gun, too. Zhao Zhengyuan actually began to stutter.
Li Anping was puzzled, and he asked, "If you don't say why, I won't change it with you." ”
"You can't deal with the 'barber', or I'll go for insurance." Zhao Zhengyuan forcibly calmed himself down, saying, "He is a high-ranking agent of the Kuomintang, and he has killed many of our underground party members, but he has never left any clues." ”
"It's Hades, I have to know him!" Li Anping was not convinced, and the young man's blood came up.
"Master, don't change with me, I won't notify that Chairman Lu if I do, and I can't inform him."
Zhao Zhengyuan's initial division of labor was not casual, and it was not easy to notify Lu Han without revealing his identity, even if he exposed his identity to inform Lu Han, it might not be effective, but it might lead to death.
During his four years in Yunnan, Li Anping listened to telephone calls at his residence almost during the day, without any social resources, while Zhao Zhengyuan was a public official under the Kuomintang government.
"Be cautious! If it is not possible to set fire to create chaos before Chairman Lu passes by Fuxian Tower, scare away the 'barber', and ensure Chairman Lu's personal safety, the task will be completed. Zhao Zhengyuan handed his pistol to Li Anping and said earnestly.
Fuxian Tower is located at the first intersection south of Lu Han's official residence, and it is the only way for Lu Han to enter and exit from the gate of the official residence, so it is no wonder that the "barber" chose the assassination location here.
Judging from the terrain, the "Barber" could launch an assassination at any time, and he only had to wait here for Luján to travel.
There is no business area on the first floor of Fuxian Building, only a counter and a back kitchen.
Li Anping went up to the second floor, the second floor was very open, there were four tables near the road that Lu Han had to pass, and there was a table around the corner, these five tables were the best choice for assassinating Lu Han.
It was not time to eat, there were no guests in the entire Fuxian Building, and Li Anping went up to the second floor and immediately left under the pretext that his friends had not come over.
Because he didn't know the time of the "barber's" action, he could only sit in Fuxian Tower and wait from now on, but he couldn't sit there in such a grand manner, which would be more likely to arouse the suspicion of others.
In the unlikely event that the "barber" chooses to act on the 9th and comes for three days in a row, it is easy to arouse suspicion.
Li Anping decided to go back and change his clothes first, find a high-brimmed hat to cover his face as much as possible, and for the other two days he disguised himself as a Yi and Dulong clan, and relied on a headdress to cover his face.
Although Li Anping changed his clothes every day, he still failed to make any progress. The flames of war have not reached Yunnan for the time being, but it seems that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and there are often rumors of secret arrests and assassinations, and the people of Yunnan have long been panicked.
On the 7th and 8th, there were not many guests who came to eat, and they basically sat by the window, but they were soon eliminated by Li Anping.
Most of them spoke in a Kunming accent about the situation at home and abroad, and a few spoke a minority language that he didn't understand at all. The date of the assassination of Luján by the "Barber" can only be on the 9th!
Zhao Zhengyuan's progress was not smooth, he tried many methods in the past two days, but they all failed.
He wrote an anonymous letter, then found a child near Luján's mansion and gave him a handful of candy to deliver to the guard at the door. The guards got the letter and burned it without even reading it. He also found the phone number of Adjutant Luján and called him with his throat to inform him that someone was going to assassinate him.
The adjutant replied "bored" and hung up the phone. Zhao Zhengyuan even tried to inform the major newspapers in Kunming that someone wanted to assassinate Lu Han, but he was out of options, as long as he could protect Lu Han, it didn't matter if he killed the "barber" or not. Unfortunately, newspapers seem to be so accustomed to this kind of information that no one publishes it......
December 9 was the day of Lu Han's secret uprising, but it was the most anxious day for Zhao Zhengyuan's master and apprentice: Zhao Zhengyuan had not yet been able to inform Lu Han to change his original route; Li Anping also failed to find the "barber......
When Li Anping arrived at Fuxian Building, the restaurant had already opened its doors to welcome guests, today he was dressed as a Dai people, wearing a large shirt with small sleeves, black trousers, wearing a blue felt, wearing a white cloth on his head, in order to deliberately cover his face, he deliberately wore a long wig and added a lot of charms on the head. His outfit was somewhat weird.
Li Anping went up to the second floor and was surprised to find a white paper screen placed between each window seat and the other seats in the hall overnight, and between the two adjacent window seats.
"The Barber" has already started his assassination operation! Li Anping's initial expectation was to sit in the window seat closest to Lu Han's official residence today, so that he could have a good insight into all the other window seats and the movement of Lu Han's procession.
Now there are screens between the window seats, and although the light transmission of the white paper screens is okay, you can't see anything after three or four of them.
He deliberately slowed down and chose the best seat: the one in the center of the hall. Not only does this seat have a good view, but it is also separated from all window seats by a screen.
Li Anping's nerves tensed instantly, and he was extremely excited, and after years of lurking, he finally waited for such an opportunity to show his talents. "Calm down! Stabilization! He sat down, and kept telling himself to calm down, that he had to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Li Anping sat down out of the window, and he observed that there was a person sitting in each of the two window seats in the middle of the road that Lu Han must pass, and what kind of person it was, he couldn't see it at all, and he could only see a figure.
Li Anping kept muttering in his heart, these two were both Kuomintang spies who assassinated Lu Han? Or is there only one "barber"? By this time, it was already the evening of December 6, and according to the predetermined plan known internally, three days later, Luján would declare an uprising.
The time left for Zhao Zhengyuan and Li Anping was less than three days.
