As usual, after reading a book for a while after dinner, Cao Shan washed up early and went to bed, and the laughter of the neighbor's children outside the window was the best lullaby. It's just that tonight, Cao Shan couldn't fall asleep for a long time, I don't know what the reason is, Cao Shan always feels weird tonight. Cao Shan, who couldn't sleep, had to get up and make a cup of coffee, and the coffee powder was still given by a regular customer who often came to the barbershop, and he didn't know how long it had been left.

Although this is in the concession, the price of milk and sugar is not something that Cao Shan can afford, so the coffee he brews can only be original. The bitter taste of the original coffee made Cao Shan, who was standing by the window, a little dazed, but he had been nervous about a string in his heart. "Oh oooo" There was a sudden knock on the door behind him, and Cao Shan, who had been standing in front of the window, immediately turned around, took out a **** from under the pillow, and raised the muzzle of the gun to face the door.

Cao Shan has been keeping a distance from his neighbors, and it is already night, and at this time, no one will come to look for him. Cao Shan, who was alert in his heart, was ready to shoot at any time, but after he held his breath and prepared to deal with it, there was no movement outside the door, as if the knock on the door just now had never appeared. After silently waiting for a cup of tea, Cao Shan moved forward and slowly moved to the position behind the door.

Cao Shan, who was careful in his heart, held a gun in his right hand, pressed his left hand on the wall in front of him, and the whole person was attached to the door, holding his breath, he quietly listened to the sound outside the door. As a result, Cao Shan was a little disappointed, it was quiet outside the door at all, only the laughter of children in the distance was reflected in his ears. Cao Shan, who was greatly puzzled, experienced a fierce psychological struggle, and then reached out to open the door, but as he had just heard, there was nothing outside the door.

What's going on here? Could it be a joke of children? Cao Shan, who closed the door, looked confused, but when he returned to the window and was about to continue drinking the cup of coffee, a small black cloth bag appeared on the windowsill, which made Cao Shan fall into an ice cave. The seemingly closed window opened as soon as he pushed it, but Cao Shan clearly remembered that he had inserted the latch of the window before he went to bed, and the small black cloth bag that appeared on the windowsill also proved that the window had been opened.

After the person who opened the window put down the cloth bag, he closed the window as it was, which shows that the other party should have no ill will towards him, otherwise he would have been controlled by the other party just now. He didn't stick his head out of the window to look left and right, Cao Shan just plugged in the latch of the window, and then picked up the small black cloth bag on the windowsill. First weighed the weight of the small black cloth bag, and found that the weight of the cloth bag was not light, so Cao Shan took the cloth bag and sat down at the table.

When he opened the cloth bag, the first thing that caught Cao Shan's eyes were two large yellow croaker gold bars, and under the gold bars was a folded paper strip. "Three days later, come to this address, there is medicine delivered! Gift gold bars for funding, Wangjun insisted, and do not sacrifice lightly! Cao Shan opened the note and found that there were not many words on the note, but the content of these words combined was enough to shake Cao Shan's heart.

After the Battle of Songhu, even Shanghai, a metropolis known as the Pearl of the Orient, was in short supply, although it was not yet priceless, but in the black market, the price of drugs was daunting enough. This note said that medicine would be delivered in three days, and Cao Shan's mind was in chaos at the moment, but he also knew that if this thing was true, it would be a great thing.

What really made Cao Shan's mind about the wontons was not the matter of medicine, but the word sacrifice at the end, which could be used, and Cao Shan secretly felt that the person who sent the cloth bag was likely to be his own person, even if it was not, it would be a progressive who sympathized with the revolution, and a progressive with good skills. Cao Shan is only the person in charge of the contact point of the barber shop, and he can't do many things, and Cao Shan still needs to report to his superiors for the drugs mentioned in the note.

The sudden appearance of cloth bags and notes made Cao Shan, who had always had a stable schedule, unable to sleep all night, and finally survived until dawn, and Cao Shan, who was a little impatient, left the residence early. "Why are you here? Didn't you say that you should use a dead mailbox to make contact? Lin Mo came out of the house, and saw Cao Shan sitting at the breakfast stall across the street, secretly observing left and right, Lin Mo walked through the street, greeted the neighbors who also got up early, and sat down behind Cao Shan.

Cao Shan didn't speak, and after hearing Lin Mo's voice, he just quietly stuffed the note hidden in his hand to Lin Mo. Cao Shan, who hurriedly finished eating breakfast, checked out and left, but Lin Mo turned around and went home after eating breakfast. The note given by Cao Shan was read by Lin Mo several times, he didn't know how this note got into Cao Shan's hands, but he didn't find anything wrong with it.

"What do you think about this?" When he was an hour, Lin Mo appeared in the backyard of the bookstore, and there were more people around him, all of whom were members of the Shanghai underground party. "I have sent to ask the person who received the note, saying that the window of his house was quietly opened last night and placed on the windowsill, and along with the note, there were two gold bars and a black cloth." As he spoke, Lin Mo put the gold bars and black cloth he had taken from Cao Shan on the table.

"I have looked for people to check the gold bars and this black cloth, they are all very ordinary road goods, and I can't find clues at all." Lin Mo stretched out his hand and pointed at the table, "The person who sent the things didn't do anything out of the ordinary against our people last night, I judge that this person should have no ill will towards us." If he wants to do something to us, he shouldn't be so troublesome, just just arrest our people and torture them. ”

"But let's not be careless, medicine is now a good commodity in Shanghai, this person left a note to say that the medicine will be delivered in three days, I personally feel that the medicine mentioned on the note is probably not in the hands of this person. I'm worried that because of these drugs, Shanghai is likely to be completely messed up. Lin Mo has been a member of the underground party for many years, and he can roughly guess the truth about the medicine matter from the two sentences left by Tang Cheng on the note.

Lin Mo's judgment was very good, but he didn't know that after Tang Cheng sent Cao Shan a black cloth bag last night, he immediately took action. Lin Mo was discussing countermeasures with the members of his group, when he suddenly received news from the inside of the concession patrol room, just in the early hours of yesterday morning, a clinic in the concession suddenly burst into flames. What is even more coincidental is that the clinic, which caught fire last night, was burned by fire only once two days ago in the report register of the Concession Patrol House.

"It seems that my speculation is correct, this person who left the word should have no ill will towards us, and the incident of the concession clinic last night should have been done by this person who left the word." Lin Mo paused, and seeing that the others in his group had confused expressions, Lin Mo coughed lightly, and had to say the answer he guessed. "What kind of place is the clinic? It is a place dedicated to seeing and treating diseases, how can there be no medicine in the place of treatment! ”

"This clinic reported a fire two days ago, according to the inside of the patrol room, two days ago on the night of this clinic, those people in the Zodiac suffered a big loss, and I heard that several instructors of the Zodiac Society were also killed. Last night another fire was reported, and in any case, it is impossible for one place to burn twice in two days. I guess last night's fire should have been set off by the person who left the letter, because after he stole the medicine in the clinic, he needed to set fire to cover up his whereabouts and traces left behind. ”

Lin Mo's inference sounded a little messy, but after straightening out his thoughts, Lin Mo's inference was close to the truth. The person who set the fire in the clinic last night was indeed Tang Cheng, and after sending gold bars and notes to Cao Shan, Tang Cheng rushed to the clinic. According to the Zodiac Society's thinking, since the opponent had already raided the clinic the night before, he would definitely not come to this clinic again, after all, the clinic had been exposed and useless.

But Tang Cheng only came back to the horse gun every other night, and quietly killed a night watchman left in the clinic by the Zodiac Society, and only Tang Cheng was left in the entire clinic who could breathe. The traces of gunfights and explosions in the clinic are still there, and the blood stains in the hallway have turned dark black, and the Zodiac Society only treats this place as a trap, but does not transfer the equipment and medicines on the second floor.

Before Tang Cheng left the residence, he had temporarily left the contents of his carry-on bag in the residence, carrying only a pistol and two spare magazines. On the second floor of the clinic, which was empty at the moment, Tang Cheng quickly pried boxes of different sizes with his hands and feet, and found all the medicines and surgical instruments in them. Tang Cheng actually found not many medicines, but there were a lot of alcohol, iodine wine, gauze or something, plus some surgical instruments, and there were more than a dozen boxes full of them.

There were too many usable things to find, and Tang Cheng was reluctant to leave any of them, but he couldn't bring them all back to his residence, so the roof of the three-story building diagonally opposite the clinic became a place for Tang Cheng to temporarily store these things. After tossing back and forth several times, Tang Cheng finally transferred these things to the rooftop of the building over there, covering these boxes with oilcloths and sundries, and Tang Cheng immediately set fire to the clinic.

The address left for Cao Shan was not the rooftop opposite the clinic, but neither Cao Shan nor the Zodiac Society had imagined that the few things in the clinic were less than 200 meters away from the ruins of the fire. Tang Cheng's hand is a typical black light, when the Zodiac Society and the special high-tech department strictly blocked the passage out of Shanghai, he just quietly used his carry-on equipment bag to safely transfer those things to an apartment in the French Concession.
