Chapter 34 Joints
The road to borrow money from Wang Yidao was blocked, and among his limited few friends, there was no money, and even if they had money, their relationship was not good enough to lend him so much money.
To quickly scrape together such a large sum of money, Li Anping can't rob or steal, and he can't gamble, right? Whoever says he can't, he can really gamble.
During the Japanese occupation, he lived by stealing and gambling, and he was still somewhat confident in his stealing and gambling skills. The problem is that after the founding of New China, the casino had already been copied.
According to Li Anping's judgment, there must be an underground casino.
Li Anping bought a pack of cigarettes and found the famous gangster Wang Jiu, assuming that he had itchy hands and some money on his hands, and wanted to find a place to fight, but he couldn't find a place.
Few outsiders know about Li Anping's work as a public security officer, and he only wears a uniform when he works in the secretarial department, and he does not wear a uniform again for the convenience of his work. That's why Wang Jiu and Li Laosan thought he was visiting a brothel when they saw him entering Cuiyan Building. Wang Yidao has a straightforward temperament, he doesn't like to talk about the length of the family and the shortness of the family, Wang Jiu and the others don't know what happened later.
A person who visits a brothel is not a serious person, Wang Jiu saw Li Anping's anxious appearance, and he really believed it.
He took the cigarette that Li Anping lit for him in his mouth, put the remaining pack of cigarettes in his pocket, took a greedy puff of the cigarette, and told Li Anping the location of an underground casino and the code to enter.
Li Anping is very familiar with the tricks in the casino, and he won enough commissions from the troupe with a little effort.
In the past, he didn't dare to go to the casino to make money like this, at that time, the people who opened the casino were people with considerable power, and he wanted to win such a large amount of money, and he would be killed when he went out. This time he also took a big risk, he won enough money and immediately left the casino.
The public identity of "Cicada" is the owner of "Lu Ji Antique Shop", called Lu Ping, the "Ping" of "Ping", not the "Ping" of "Pingshui". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the household registration was free to move, and after he moved here, he found a woman to register as "Lu Ping".
It was getting late, Lu Ping closed the last door panel, and was about to pull down the iron grille, when he heard a rush of footsteps behind him.
"Shopkeeper, please close the door slowly." Li Anping walked up to Lu Ping with three heavily armed police officers, and it was not him who spoke, but another person.
Lu Ping looked at the four public security officers in front of him, his face did not show any abnormal expression, and he was inevitably a little panicked. He recognized one of them as the person the "barber" had asked him to follow not long ago, and it turned out that this person was actually a public security officer of the special inspection team.
He wasn't sure if these police officers were coming to him, so he forced himself to calmly ask, "What's the matter?" ”
"We're here to arrest spies." The man continued to say that Li Anping designed these two sentences without connecting them with the intention of exerting a certain amount of psychological pressure on Lu Ping, and more importantly, to pave the way for the later scenes.
"Oh...... Did you catch it? Lu Ping continued to figure out that the police officer was only halfway up and was probably targeting him. He was calculating how he would respond if he really came to arrest him, the situation was quite bad for him, and the four of them were all armed with guns.
"We're rounding up."
After Lu Pingxin finished speaking, it was too late for him to run, his palms were slightly sweaty, but he still said calmly: "Why didn't I see it?" ”
Li Anping calmly observed Lu Ping from the side, so far, there are not many conversations, but every sentence is insinuating, Lu Ping has always behaved extremely calmly, which makes Li Anping somewhat admire him.
"Oh, did you see an injured person running by?"
Hearing this, Lu Ping suddenly felt that the big stone pressing on his chest was gone, and this time he was not here to arrest him, he shook his head and said: "I didn't see it, probably because I couldn't see the situation behind me when I closed the door with my back to the street." ”
At this moment, another public security officer ran from the west with his wrist in a hurry, and blood kept dripping from his wrist. He ignored the wound on his hand, gasped and said, "Report! Captain! The 'barber' fled from the west. ”
"What's wrong with you? What's going on? "The public security who has been asking Lu Ping asked people with concern.
"I ambushed at the west exit of Weiguo Road as planned, and when I saw the 'barber' injured and ran past, I chased after me, but I didn't want to be hurt by him, he escaped, but it was fine."
"Chase!" Five police officers chased him west.
After a false alarm, Lu Ping was really shocked, these five public security officers were actually rounding up his upline "barber", and the "barber" was really exposed?
It's no wonder that contact with him has been completely cut off for a while recently, and he went to the secret junction several times in a row to put a note with a code written on it, but found that the note had not been taken.
After three times, he sensed that something had happened, and quickly took back the note that had not been taken by the "barber" and burned it.
He left a blank note at the joint, and if the "barber" was safe and sound, but was only delayed by other things, he would naturally go and take the note, and then put back half of it as agreed.
If something happens to the "barber", or if the note is obtained by the police, a blank piece of paper will not explain anything. Two weeks have passed, and the blank sheet of paper is still in place.
As soon as the "barber" had an accident, he had to leave the city quickly. The situation was not in his favor, and Lu Ping thought that there was still a lot of information he had gathered in the antique shop, and he removed the door panel again.
"When is the bright moon?"
A small voice came from the corner. In the daytime, with such a small voice, Lu Ping probably couldn't hear what was being said.
Isn't that their previous connector code? Lu Ping quickly turned around and looked at the sound, but did not see anyone.
"When is the bright moon?" The voice repeated again.
Li Anping was also not sure that this code was valid, after the group of spies was destroyed by him in Qinghuachi's stronghold, he never heard this group of people have a joint code, and the previous tracking did not find that they had opened up another stronghold.
He could only bet that they only maintained a single point of contact.
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Sometimes there is. ”
"What year is it?"
"Thirty-nine years." After Lu Ping answered this, he paused, and then said, "I want to go back with the wind." ”
At this moment, a tall man came out of the corner of the wall, his right hand covering his left arm, and he seemed to be holding something in his right hand.
The man stood still and said, "But the sea is far from it." ”
This man should be his own, but who could he be?
Lu Ping let the man into the store first, quickly closed the door, led the man to the back hall, and lit the oil lamp instead of turning on the electric light. He was afraid that the light of the electric light would be too strong, and it would penetrate the cracks in the two layers of doors and project them outside.
With the light, he could see that the man was holding a piece of cloth in his right hand and covering his left arm tightly, and the original color of the cloth was no longer distinguishable, it was all blood.
It seems that he was wounded and used this cloth to absorb the blood that flowed out.
Could it be that this person is the "barber" who was hunted down by the police?
"'Cicada'?"
