At 5:30 p.m. on January 10, 1977, the U.S. conference group and the Chinese conference group held the second liaison and docking meeting.

At the meeting, the Chinese side announced that the Chinese side agreed to hold cultural, economic, and financial exchanges and discussions with the US side, and agreed that the US side would conduct social interviews and investigations at the venue and in the suburbs of Beijing.

After the meeting, the US delegation held an internal meeting with all the personnel.

The head of the delegation, Dr. Ronier, smiled and said: "Colleagues! The Chinese side has basically met our needs in terms of cultural and economic exchanges, as well as social interviews and surveys! Therefore, tonight, the conference team of our delegation should immediately sort out the agenda of the meeting according to the commitment of the Chinese side, and let the colleagues who participated in the discussion on each topic know the content and time of their work! At the same time, the interview team will also compile your interview plan according to the specific regulations and requirements of the Chinese side! Starting tomorrow, we're going to get into the intense work! Now, let's break it out in two parts! ”

After Dr. Lonnier's remarks, he led a group of people in this room to discuss the agenda of the meeting.

Cohen took members of our interview team to a small conference room to discuss our interview and investigation plans.

Since the Chinese side has set the time and scope for the delegation's interview team, Cohen decided to transfer Ouyang Fengxing to our field team in order to complete the heavy work of the field interview and investigation team.

Through discussions, the internal division of labor of the field interview and investigation team is that I, Xiaoda, and Ouyang are a group, and Cohen, Steven, and Luke are a group, and we will start conducting social interviews and investigations in the urban and suburban areas of Beijing from tomorrow.

After the discussion, everyone went back to their rooms to prepare for tomorrow's work.

.....

At 12 o'clock in the evening, I was asked to go to the secret room in the hotel's small supermarket in the same way as last time.

This time, only Uncle Jia and Niu Shilong talked to me.

Uncle Jia said: "Ah Cai! Your intel is too timely! The enemy's negotiating cards have made it clear to us, and our people should have no problem dealing with this negotiation! Today, let's talk about something else! According to our intelligence and investigations, the leader of your interview and investigation team, Cohen, was originally a person from a friendly area who had been employed by our overseas press office, but this person was seriously suspected of probing and plotting against our personnel! This person may have been the culprit behind last September's manhunt! Therefore, we must find a way to arrest him! ”

I said, "Okay! Cohen and I both work on the interview team, and I actively cooperate with you in your efforts! ”

Uncle Jia said, "Okay! Tomorrow, when your interview team allocates an interview area, you try to choose to interview in a closer city, let Kenn go to the farther suburbs, and then we will find an opportunity to search Cohen's room and get as much evidence of his crime as possible! The day after tomorrow, you will interview in a sensitive area together, and as long as he crosses the line to take pictures and other investigations, you will arrest him immediately! In this way, we have a plausible explanation to the US side! ”

I said, "A routine search of Cohen doesn't necessarily pay off!" From what I've observed, Cohen is a very cautious person, and he has a briefcase that he carries with him, and I have a feeling that this briefcase must have what you want! ”

Uncle Jia said, "Shilong! You are responsible for arranging the transfer of contracts, as well as arresting people in sensitive areas, and other specific things! This time, you must not let Cohen escape! ”

Niu Shilong said: "Okay! Wait, I'll go and set up the work myself! ”

I said, "Okay! I obey Niu Shilong's assignment! ”

Jia said: "Ah Cai! Regarding Du Wentao and his uncle, in the future, you don't have to worry about it! Now, they've been taken over by the organization! Their violation of discipline has been confirmed, as for whether they broke the law or not?! This issue is under investigation! In the future, except for Tarzan, no one can directly mobilize you and the Wind Spirit Group! Do you understand? ”

I said, "Understood! ”

......

At 9 a.m. on January 11, Cohen asked me, Xiaoda, and Ouyang Fengxing to go to his room to discuss the interview and investigation tasks.

He showed us a lot of questionnaires, and explained to us the contents of the questionnaires, as well as the skills of interviewing and asking questions.

When Cohen laid out the work, I said, "Cohen! There are a lot of interviews with citizens in the city! However, you can't speak Chinese! You can go to the suburbs to investigate, and you don't need to talk to take pictures, right?! ”

Ken agreed to my suggestion, so Cohen, Steven, and Luke went to the suburbs as a group to conduct the interview, while Ouyang Fengxing stayed at the hotel venue to conduct the interview.

Xiaoda and I took the "questionnaire" and other "questionnaires" to interview and investigate ordinary citizens in the urban area.

We were ready to carry the interview work package to the lobby, where we waited for the Chinese conference team to arrange a vehicle for us.

Suddenly, Kane said, "Oh! Oh, my God! Where did my briefcase go? ”

Suddenly, I saw Cohen looking panicked and frightened, his body and hands shaking!

At this moment, a middle-aged Chinese gentleman who looked like a professor stepped out of the elevator, and at the same time, he hurried towards Kenne!

The middle-aged man said in fluent English, "Oh! Mr! Hello! This morning in the cafeteria, I sat next to you, so when I left, I took out your briefcase! Later, I found out that I made a mistake, and the waiter said that you are here, so I came here to exchange my briefcase with you! ”

Cohen snatched the briefcase with a pale face, and he immediately checked the contents.

Cohen said happily, "Sir! Thank you so much! Thank goodness! I didn't lose anything! Sir, I guess I got the wrong briefcase for you! Oh my God, our briefcases are exactly the same! ”

Cohen then handed another briefcase to the gentleman, and after the gentleman checked his briefcase, he hurried upstairs again!

Soon after, the Chinese side arranged for an interview car to come, and Cohen and a few others took a news vehicle to the suburbs.

Xiaoda and I took the interview car driven by Niu Shilong to the city for an interview.

After getting in the car, we began to call Niu Shilong Brother Niu!

Brother Niu drove the car directly to the courtyard of a café.

Then, Xiaoda and I waited with our work bags and followed Brother Niu into a private room in the café.

After we entered the private room, Brother Niu pointed to the plainclothes and said, "Ah Cai, Xiao Da!" These are our people! Give them your press card, questionnaires, cameras, film, etc.! Let them do the interviews and surveys for you! They're connoisseurs too! And we're here to chat! ”

Everyone laughed!

So, Xiaoda and I handed over the press cards, questionnaires, cameras, and films in our work bags to the young and handsome plainclothes, and after they got the things, they drove a jeep to work.

After they left, Brother Niu smiled and said, "Two generals! Forget it! How does it feel to come home? ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas, I don't feel it! It's so cold here! ”

Brother Niu said: "Yes! That's how it is in the North! When Li Ping and I first came back, we felt the same way! Now, we can't work overseas because our identity has been exposed, and we can only work in the mainland! ”

I said, "Now, how are you living?" ”

Brother Niu said: "Alas! In recent years, we have become accustomed to the affluent lifestyle overseas! After returning to China, we felt that life in China was too poor! Now, we get a high salary of more than 100 yuan a month, eat canteens, and live in dormitories! ”

I said, "Brother Niu! Didn't you bring back some dollar deposits overseas? ”

Brother Niu smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Among our classmates, you alone will make money, and you are a big miser! We've all run out of deposits overseas! If it weren't for the $200,000 you funded, I, Li Ping, Wen Juan, and Aunt Wen would really die in Cairo, Egypt! ”

I said, "Alas! Oh, yes! You are all honest people! Brother Niu, at that time, what happened to you in Cairo? ”

After drinking coffee, Brother Niu said, "Alas! We've got an enemy raid! We don't know, how can the enemy's intelligence be so accurate?! Before the incident, our Cairo office had a business cooperation with Aunt Wen! Therefore, after the incident, Aunt Wen fled from Paris to Egypt with Wen Juan to join us! After we picked up the mother and daughter of the Wen family, we hid in another place and contacted you! Ahh I feel that your big family is a natural material for being an agent, and I find that Wen Juan's agent quality is as good as yours! You guys are amazing! ”

I said, "Oh, you're so hard, you're so witty and brave!" Now, how are our former classmates? ”

Brother Niu smiled and said, "Those who do our business generally don't have classmates to interact with!" Before Li Ping and I went back to work at the headquarters, Du Wentao, Ye Hailong, Liu Fang and others had already returned to the headquarters to work first! You should be clear about Du Wentao's situation, he is under the organization's quarantine investigation! Ye Hailong and Liu Fang ran back to the headquarters from Pontianak in June last year, and I heard that they offended Lu Qiangjun, so they can't work overseas anymore! Ye Hailong was originally going to marry Liu Fang, but the surname Ye was too flowery, and he got the daughter of a high-ranking official, so he dumped Liu Fang! After we came back, Liu Fang and Li Ping were sisters again! Du Wentao and Ye Hailong are all the way, they were almost involved in a terrorist organization, if they hadn't been careful to avoid the organization's investigation, perhaps, we would have arrested the evidence of their crimes! Now, Du Wentao, Du Wentao's uncle, Ye Hailong and others have been quarantined and investigated by the headquarters, and I heard Taishan say that after a while, let them leave the headquarters and go to the place to rearrange their work! In short, those comrades-in-arms of yours, except for me and Li Ping, everyone else is quite choked! ”

At noon, we had lunch in a private room in a café!

After the meal, we rested in the private room.

At 2 p.m., the plainclothes guys came back with a large pile of filled questionnaires, as well as our press cards, a few films, and cameras.

Among them, a plainclothes man said with a smile: "Brother Niu! These interviews and questionnaires are all real! You show Jack and Tom to them! ”。

Brother Niu smiled and said, "Okay! Just don't let others see that you're faking! Let's go out to dinner, and we'll be back to the hotel later." ”

A few of them went out to eat, and we put our press cards, forms, film, and cameras back in our bags.

After the plainclothes finished eating, they drove away from the café.

We also got into Brother Niu's car and returned to the hotel.

In the car, Brother Niu smiled and said, "Alas! This morning, Cohen lost the packet! Now, our man's search of his room should also be over! Tomorrow, we're going to put a trap on this turtle grandson and arrest him! Go back to the hotel and have a good rest, tomorrow's play is so exciting, this big play looks a little tired! ”

Everyone laughed!

......

At around 8 p.m., Cohen called me and said that they were too tired today, and in a few days, our group would compile the information.

Cohen also said that suburban interviews are very valuable, however, a lot of work! Therefore, he asked Ouyang Fengxing, me and Xiaoda to go to the suburbs with them tomorrow for an interview!

......

On the morning of January 12, after breakfast, I put 200,000 yuan in my work bag, which was going to be given to Brother Niu for the Chinese New Year and to improve their lives.

When we got ready, Xiaoda and I checked the weapons and ammo in our work bags!

Then, we took our bags to the hotel lobby to meet up with Cohen.

When we arrived at the hotel lobby, Ouyang Fengxing, Cohen, Steven, and Luke were already waiting for us there.

After we got into Niu Shilong's car together, we left the hotel and headed for the pre-booked suburban interview site.

Our car passed by Chang'an Avenue and Tian'an Square!

At this time, the buildings, trees, etc. outside the window are covered in silver, and there are hardly any pedestrians in the squares, streets, and sidewalks, except for patrolmen!

And what is printed in our eyes are eye-catching red slogans!

At this time, we felt that this was still the capital that we were very familiar with!

The capital hasn't changed, it's the same as before!

......

At around 11 a.m., our vehicle drove out of the city and arrived at the scheduled interview location after passing a stretch of suburban roads that were more than an hour away.

Brother Niu deliberately parked the car at an intersection, on one side of this intersection is the village market, and on the other side is the Soviet-style building complex with red bricks and red tiles.

In the car, Niu Shilong said in standard English: "Gentlemen! Get out of the car here and interview! Now, it's almost time for lunch, and you'd better split up into two interviews, one at the bazaar and one at the living quarters of the complex. This is a suburb, there is no restaurant for you to have lunch, so after your interview, let's rush back to the hotel for dinner! ”

Before getting off the bus, Cohen asked me, Xiaoda, and Ouyang to go to the market for interviews, and they went to the Soviet-style complex to do interviews.

After Cohen finished his assignment, he took Steven and Luke out of the car and went to the red-brick and red-tiled Soviet-style complex to do research and interviews.

After they left, I asked Xiaoda and Ouyang to go to the market to do interviews, and they got out of the car with their work bags and left!

After they left, I opened my work bag and handed over 200,000 yuan to Brother Niu.

I said, "I didn't have any gifts for you from Port City!" The 200,000 yuan, you can keep it to improve your life! ”

Brother Niu put the money in his briefcase.

With tears in his eyes, he said, "Ah Cai! You are the God of Wealth! I heard Uncle Jia say that you donated $20 million to the headquarters! If we didn't have that money, we would have had a hard time at the headquarters! By the way, Lu Pinzheng, who helped you bring money back last time, is now staying in the headquarters school to teach, and they have compiled your deeds into the textbook! You've been blown up to the sky by them! Of course, your real name isn't in the textbooks, you're just someone! However, as soon as we look at those articles and deeds, we know that someone is Ah Cai! ”

I said, "Alas! That's not good! The work is done by everyone! There is always a limit to the power of one person! We are just ordinary people, pushed by this era into the battlefield where we must be heroes to survive! Let's cherish what is in front of you! Fame and fortune are bullshit! ”

Niu Shilong said: "Brother! It's almost time, it's time for you to do the interview! I feel that Ouyang was sent by the CIA to keep an eye on you and Xiaoda! ”

So, I got out of the car with my work bag and walked to the east market.

When I arrived at the market, I saw Xiaoda and Ouyang Fengxing eating meat and buns at a stall.

Xiaoda smiled and said to me, "Ah Cai! Eat! It's so cheap, don't need food stamps, two cents a piece! ”

Then, Xiaoda handed the stall owner a piece of RMB.

The stall owner smiled and said, "It's here!" Five meat buns for one dollar! ”

The stall owner handed me five meat buns.

Ouyang Fengxing said: "Ah Cai! This burger tastes good! Shall we buy some for Kenne? ”

I smiled and said, "Yes!" I'm worried that our food will upset their stomachs, what if they eat it and have diarrhea?! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! Buy them 10 meat buns, I want to see how they have diarrhea! ”

Everyone laughed!

So, Xiaoda gave the stall owner two yuan and packed 10 meat buns.

The three of us sat on a stool eating meat buns and chatting with the stall owners.

I see that there are very few people doing business in this bazaar, what is the matter with my stall owner?

The stall owner told us that the weather is cold these days, there are few people who come out to buy things, and the people living here are poor, and they earn less than 20 yuan a month!

Their lives are so tight, and there must be very few people who buy things like meat buns!

The stall owner looked at the sky and said, "Alas! If only I could meet rich people like you every day! In this way, I will be able to go back to my hometown to start a house and ask for a daughter-in-law after two more years! ”

We were chatting, and suddenly, we saw Niu Shilong's car in our direction and hurriedly drove over!

I know, Cohen and they should have had an accident!

The three of us carried our work bags, took the packed meat buns and ran to Brother Niu's car.

When we got to the side of the car, Niu Shilong stuck his head out of the cab window and said to me in English, "Mr. Jack! Mr. Cohen was arrested by the military police when they were taking pictures and interviewing in the military restricted area! Steven and Mr. Luke are back in the car! Hurry up and get in the car, we have to go back to the hotel to report the situation immediately! ”

So, the three of us jumped in the car!

After we got in the car, Brother Niu quickly turned the car around, and we returned to the hotel the same way!

In the car, I saw Steven and Luke pale and shivering, they couldn't talk anymore!

Ten minutes after the car drove away, Steven and Luke began to recover!

Steven said to me, "Jack! Cohen is so reckless! He had to climb over the railing there to get in and take pictures! We couldn't dissuade him, he was arrested by the military police! Luke and I ran out! Otherwise, we're doomed too! Mr. Niu, please drive faster! I'm afraid they're after us! ”

Brother Niu said, "Okay! ”

Then, he increased the throttle and rushed forward!

To give them a scare, I ate those 10 meat buns for Steven and Luke!

They devoured the meat buns, and then fell asleep on their seats!

Xiao Da said worriedly in Chinese: "Alas! Wait a minute, will they have diarrhea? ”

Ouyang smiled and said, "Diarrhea will definitely not be!" Now, I'm afraid they'll vomit blood! ”

Everyone laughed!

......

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after we returned to the hotel, I, Xiaoda, Ouyang Fengxing, Steven and Luke immediately went to report Cohen's situation to the head of the group, Dr. Lonnier.

Dr. Lonier listened carefully to Steven and Luke's debriefing.

Then, Dr. Ronier said, "All right! The Chinese side has informed us and the US Embassy of Cohen's arrest! They already have evidence that Cohen is an American spy! We are waiting for the results of the negotiations between the embassy and the Chinese side! Now, the whole exchange has been suspended! Go back to your room and rest! That's the end of this matter, and you won't talk to anyone about it in the future! What a shame on our delegation! Do you understand?! ”

We said in unison, "Thank you, sir!" We get it! ”

After we left Dr. Lonnier's office, we went back to our room to put our things away and went to the dining room for dinner.

After eating, Ouyang Fengxing felt tired, and he went back to his room to rest!

Xiaoda and I went to Yanfang and Xiaoming to the hotel café to drink coffee and chat.

Yanfang said: "Alas! Cohen is too bold! Dare to go to the forbidden area for an interview, isn't this looking for death? ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! When a person wants to make a fortune, how can he think of death! He thought it was stacks of dollars! ”

Xiaoming smiled and said, "Okay! In this way, we are idle! No meetings, no more work! ”

Xiaoda said: "Alas! Will they just retreat back to Port City?! In this way, how can we visit relatives in our hometown?! ”

Xiaoming said: "Probably not! I see that Dr. Ronier, Dr. Hills, and Dr. Alexander are very enthusiastic about this exchange! What happened to Ken was just a small episode for them! They privately say that the CIA has mixed sand with them, and they are all complaining about the CIA and Jefferson! ”

I said, "Probably not Jefferson did the Kean thing!" Jefferson always wanted to make this exchange talk about the results! Alas! This matter is really inexplicable, in the future, we will not mention this matter again! ”
