Chapter 52: The Enemy Sets Up a Situation
Wu Tongguang said with some doubts, "Normally, if Nanjing Station came to carry out this round-up mission, and it was such a result, then the station should have been fried a long time ago." Taking a step back, no matter how secret I am, I can still get some rumors. But now the station is surprisingly quiet, and even many people in the operation department are nested in the station most of the time, which should not be like the arrest mission carried out by Nanjing Station. β
Shang Qingyuan turned around and lay on the steering wheel, stared ahead, and said with some embarrassment, "That's difficult, now I can't even be sure who will move!" β
Wu Tongguang frowned slightly at this time, and said, "And there is another point that is also very strange, Nanfu Street is located in a prosperous area, and it is even more mixed. It is very convenient for ambush personnel to hide their camouflage here. An experienced veteran revolutionary, moreover, is the backbone elite of the underground party, and it stands to reason that he will not fail to understand this. β
Shang Qingyuan nodded noncommittally. Then, both of them thought in silence.
After a while, Shang Qingyuan continued, "Then is it possible that this time it is an arrest mission carried out by the Central Union?" β
Wu Tongguang replied negatively, "If you can skip the work of Nanjing Station directly, it will not be the turn of the Central Union!" β
Shang Qingyuan nodded noncommittally and continued to ask, "Is it possible that the Chongqing side crossed the Nanjing Station and directly carried out the arrest?" β
Wu Tongguang rubbed his jaw, thought for a moment, and replied, "I don't rule out this possibility." But if we guess so wildly, we won't get any substantive results. Well, I'll go back to the station and see if I can get some news. β
Shang Qingyuan nodded slowly and said, "Okay! That's all there is to it! β
"I'll let you know if there's news!" After speaking, Wu Tongguang opened the car door.
Just as Wu Tongguang stepped on the ground with one foot, Shang Qingyuan grabbed Wu Tongguang's arm and said, "It's not a small risk for you to do this time, and if you don't do it, it will put you in." Be careful to protect yourself and do what you can! β
Although it was Shang Qingyuan's clichΓ© advice, it still made Wu Tongguang's heart feel some warmth in the cold winter.
I only heard Wu Tongguang laugh "hehehe", and replied jokingly: "It's not once or twice that the risky thing has been done." Don't worry, I know it! With that, he moved his body out of the car and slammed the door shut.
Bidding farewell to Shang Qingyuan, when Wu Tongguang returned home, it was almost noon, Wu Tongguang cooked some noodles and ate them casually.
After eating, Wu Tongguang leaned back in his chair, taking advantage of the time when he was free, he could quietly sort out the whole thing, and find a breakthrough for the impasse in front of him!
Wu Tongguang was thinking, thinking about all the unknown things to the bad side, if the surviving comrades defected, then even if the arrest mission was not carried out by the Nanjing Station, then the follow-up use of this traitor of the Shanghai underground party to trap the underground party in Nanjing would definitely need the assistance of the Nanjing station. Therefore, if there is such a thing, Nanjing Station will definitely send people to fortify Nanfu Street. At that time, as long as you come to a simple trick to startle the snake, everything will be clear. Thinking of this, the corners of Wu Tongguang's mouth couldn't help but appear with a smug smile.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Wu Tongguang appeared on the street of Nanfu Street, and the place where he stood was still about two or three hundred meters away from the auspicious hotel.
Wu Tongguang stood in place and looked around, if Nanjing Station really set up an ambush on Nanfu Street, then Wu Tongguang was trying to find the fortified position of the arresting personnel. Wu Tongguang felt that in addition to setting up a net around the Jixiang Hotel, the arresting personnel should also send heavy troops to guard the two closest intersections before and after the Jixiang Hotel.
Finally, Wu Tongguang's gaze stopped at a restaurant located at the crossroads, which was called Xingsheng Restaurant. The restaurant is a small two-story building. Wu Tongguang can basically distinguish the orientation and number of rooms from the number and location of the windows on the second floor.
There are three rooms on the second floor, two of which are in the direction of Nanfu Street, and the remaining one room is in the direction of Chaoyang Road, which crosses Nanfu Street.
If Wu Tongguang was to set up an ambush on Nanfu Street, then this restaurant would definitely be one of the ambush points, and it should be the most important one.
Wu Tongguang has made this important discovery, and the next step is to investigate it on the spot. It's naturally very easy to think of a restaurant and feel the situation, and doing business itself is to open the door to do business.
Wu Tongguang looked at the watch in his hand, the time was only half past three, although it was a little early to have dinner now, but he was in a hurry to go to the restaurant to find out the situation, and he couldn't care so much. Now he didn't hesitate to walk briskly towards this restaurant.
Wu Tongguang pushed open the door of this restaurant, and sure enough, except for the shopkeeper who was fiddling with the abacus in front of the counter and the guy who was dozing off at a table, there was no diner in the restaurant.
As Wu Tongguang pushed the door into the restaurant, the shopkeeper stopped fiddling with the abacus in his hand, raised his head to look at Wu Tongguang, and asked with some confusion, "Sir, are you going to eat?" β
Wu Tongguang looked around the restaurant and said, "Yes, I invited a few friends to eat here at night, and I want to book a private room upstairs in your house." β
The shopkeeper smiled all over his face, and said apologetically, "This gentleman is really unlucky, the three private rooms upstairs have been booked out, I'm really sorry!" β
Wu Tongguang looked at the watch in his hand and said, "Yo, the shopkeeper's business is booming enough!" What time is it, and the three private rooms upstairs are all booked! β
The shopkeeper heard Wu Tongguang boast that his business was booming, and his face was also smiling, and then Wu Tongguang's words also advertised his shop, "What about the small shop, the amount of dishes is sufficient, the price is fair, most of the customers who come are repeat customers, and the booming business is also due to the blessing of the old customers." β
Wu Tongguang didn't pay attention to what the shopkeeper said, but kept nodding his head. His eyes were fixed on the stairs leading to the second floor.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper gave full play to his nature as a small businessman, and said to Wu Tongguang with a smile: "This little brother, if your friends come too much, how about I put two tables for you on the first floor?" The environment on the ground floor is also good! β
Wu Tongguang moved his gaze from the stairs to the shopkeeper's face, and said, "My friends will be there in a while, we come here to eat to fill our stomachs, of course, it is also for you to be cheap, we don't drink alcohol and don't have a drinking order, so it won't be delayed for long." In this way, we will go upstairs to eat first, and it is estimated that when the guests who booked the private room arrive, we will also leave after eating, and the two will not be delayed, what do you think? Although Wu Tongguang's last sentence was a question sentence, he was asking for the shopkeeper's opinion, but before the shopkeeper could answer, Wu Tongguang had already strode to the position of the stairs.
