Chapter 25: Search Again
Gathering in the library, Xu Chengyan changed into a green cloth robe, hurriedly came to the door, checked left and right, confirmed that there was no abnormality, stepped forward and raised his hand to open the cloth curtain, and walked into the library.
At this time, in addition to Ding Mingrui in the library, there was also a customer who was reading books, and when he saw Xu Chengyan coming in, Ding Mingrui, who was sorting out the bookshelves, quickly put down the books in his hand and greeted him.
Xu Chengyan glanced at the customer, and saw that he was reading intently, without even raising his head, and said to Ding Mingrui: "Boss, is the "Thousand Verses of Poetry" I want here?" ”
"It's coming, it's coming, the old version published by Shandetang, I finally got it, you come with me, please ......"
Ding Mingrui raised his hand and made a gesture, introduced Xu Chengyan into the back hall, closed the door, turned around and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Xu Chengyan didn't sit down, and said directly: "It's better to apply to meet with the stationmaster, you must do it as soon as possible." ”
"Applying again?" Ding Mingrui's face sank, during this period of time, Xu Chengyan applied many times, and his contact with the stationmaster Chu Guangji was very frequent, and he directly accepted various tasks, completely leaving him as the team leader aside, which made him very dissatisfied.
"Why? Do you have another secret mission? ”
"The stationmaster explained that the task I performed issued a gag order, and no one can leak half a point, otherwise the military law will be engaged, and you don't want to do much!"
Ding Mingrui was speechless for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Not today, there have been plainclothes near the contact point recently, and the director explained that this contact point can no longer be used, I am waiting for the notice." ”
"Then activate the emergency contact point!" Xu Chengyan's tone was resolute, expressionless, and he was not moved at all.
Ding Mingrui's eyes were cold, he looked at Xu Chengyan's gaze tightly, and said slowly: "You should know that the emergency contact point can only be used at the moment of extreme crisis, and if the reason is not sufficient in the end, we will be severely punished." ”
Every BFIPU and station has an emergency contact channel in order to deal with sudden and critical situations, but once this emergency contact point is used, it cannot be used again for the sake of safety, and in serious cases, the intelligence officers in charge of the communication channel even need to be evacuated, and the operating costs are very high.
When Xu Chengyan heard this, he immediately lowered his face, now that time was pressing, he was too lazy to talk to Ding Mingrui, stepped forward, directly forced Ding Mingrui to take a step back, and said word by word: "Lao Ding, let me say it again, I have a very important situation report, the stakes are very high, 100,000 urgent!" If you dare to deliberately delay and hinder the military aircraft, you can't afford the consequences, listen, before twelve o'clock tomorrow noon, I must see the stationmaster, or ......"
Speaking of this, the murderous intent in his eyes flashed, which suddenly made Ding Mingrui's heart tighten, only to feel a chill rising from his back, and he knew that the other party really had murderous intentions.
For Xu Chengyan, Ding Mingrui has always had scruples, compared to Ji Yun, Xu Chengyan seems to be more of a city government, not so unruly, but Ding Mingrui knows very well in his heart that Ji Yun is just a pawn, and it is this Xu Chengyan who is really in charge, and now he is directly facing Xu Chengyan's threat, which really makes Ding Mingrui feel oppressed.
However, Ding Mingrui is also a tenacious old agent in the end, and his heart is awe-inspiring, but his face is calm as usual, and he said lightly: "Why, you still dare to commit a crime?" ”
Xu Chengyan naturally wouldn't be so reckless, but he was very dissatisfied with Ding Mingrui's attitude, so he simply made his words clear.
"You tell me clearly, just two hours ago, we successfully assassinated Masao Yoshioka, and now I have important information in my hands that needs to be handed over to the stationmaster immediately, do you still want to stop it?"
As soon as he said these words, Ding Mingrui was immediately struck by lightning, stunned on the spot, stunned.
After a while, he reacted, and there were no more superfluous words, so he walked quickly to the desk, took out a prepared "Qianwen Poetry Book" from the drawer, handed it to Xu Chengyan, and said in a low voice: "You go back and wait for news, I will go and activate the emergency contact point, by the way, as soon as Yoshioka Masao dies, the Japanese will immediately search for the whole city, you have to be prepared and collect the important things." ”
Ding Mingrui quickly resisted the ups and downs of his emotions, and reminded Xu Chengyan that the important things in his mouth naturally meant important information, and he knew very well that Xu Chengyan was wary of himself and would definitely not hand over such an important thing to himself.
Seeing Ding Mingrui's attitude as if the two of them were judged at once, Xu Chengyan breathed a sigh of relief, at that moment just now, when he heard Ding Mingrui's prevarication, he was annoyed for a while, and indeed a trace of killing intent rose in his heart.
I secretly decided in my heart that after this operation, I must apply to Chu Guangji and set up another contact channel for myself, otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to have a person like Ding Mingrui in the middle.
At this time, his face softened, nodded and said, "I understand, you should also be careful here, don't stay outside for too long." ”
With that, he picked up the book, pushed the door open and walked out.
Ding Mingrui looked at his departing back, the emotions in his heart were complicated, and he was also shocked and a little unprepared just now.
Masao Yoshioka was assassinated? At the intelligence level, the significance is too great, just like two armies facing each other, but the main general of the other side was pierced through the heart by his own archers, and he was directly beheaded successfully, and the victory came so suddenly!
How did Xu Chengyan do it? As the main opponent of the Chinese intelligence department in Shanxi, Yoshioka Masao is a self-evident threat to China's intelligence forces, and I don't know how many Chinese agents have died in his hands.
Ding Mingrui had a surprise in his heart at this time, and a trace of worry, the happy thing is that the enemy chief gave the head, he can explain to the upper peak, and he can comfort the martyrs who sacrificed in the past, but the worrying thing is that Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun have made earth-shattering achievements this time, and the promotion is certain, these two have always been at odds with themselves, and they are only afraid that it will be more difficult to get along in the future.
Xu Chengyan returned to his residence and carefully inspected it again, he had been prepared before leaving, and all the things in his hands had been hidden, which was enough to face the upcoming search operation.
Sure enough, the high-pitched and piercing siren sounded again, resounding in every street and corner of Taiyuan City, and the Japanese Special High School and its subordinate police stations, security forces, plainclothes teams, and other departments were fully armed and dispatched to block all streets in Taiyuan City, conduct house-to-house searches, and arrest suspicious people.
Just a few days after the previous search, followed by an unprecedented large-scale search, which made the citizens tremble and panic, and the hidden forces of all parties were also shocked and inexplicable, countless messages were secretly transmitted and exchanged, asking each other, but they did not know what was really going on.
Xu Chengyan's neighborhood belongs to the old city, and soon the police came to the door, and the sound of slamming the door sounded, Xu Chengyan stepped forward to open the courtyard door, and several policemen rushed in.
And the leader turned out to be the traitor of the military commander he saw during the last search, Lu Mingzhi, deputy chief of the criminal investigation section of the police station, who personally led people to the door to search, and it was obvious that the intensity of the search this time was far greater than the last time.
As soon as these people entered the door, they pushed Xu Chengyan away, rushed into the room, and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to conduct a search.
And Lu Mingzhi was slightly stunned when he saw Xu Chengyan, he still had memories of what happened a few days ago, Xu Chengyan gave him a very different impression at that time, and when he saw Xu Chengyan again, he immediately recognized it.
"Mr. Xu?"
"It's contemptible people, you really have a good memory."
Xu Chengyan bowed slightly, his attitude was modest and respectful, and he showed a hint of fear just right.
This made Lu Mingzhi nod slightly, waved his hand and said: "Okay, you are a sensible person, so I won't say much, we are also routine, offended!" ”
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, a policeman stepped forward to search Xu Chengyan for examination.
Seeing this, Xu Chengyan could only raise his hands and let the police check his body, he had nothing to lose, of course the police found nothing, but in the end, he pulled the golden pocket watch he was carrying from his arms.
"Officer, this is not going to work!"
Xu Chengyan was taken aback, this was his most important thing, and he couldn't help but reach out to stop him at this time, but the police raised his hand to open it, turned around and handed the pocket watch to Lu Mingzhi.
These policemen and puppet soldiers have always had unclean hands and feet, and they are used to reaching out and holding them, and they will not let go of any opportunity to make money, and it is common to take advantage of the search to loot property, especially for powerless civilians, who have no scruples at all.
Lu Mingzhi stretched out his hand to take it and put it in front of him to check it, only to see that this pocket watch was delicate and delicate, and it was a valuable and good object at a glance.
raised his eyes to look at Xu Chengyan again, and saw that the person in front of him had a thin face, a gentle temperament, a cyan robe on his body, which had been washed and lost his color, and a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet were also worn.
"Look at your clothes, I'm afraid you can't even afford this watch chain, where did this pocket watch come from?"
Xu Chengyan looked at Lu Mingzhi nervously, and quickly explained: "Sir, this is a souvenir left to me by my teacher when he was dying, I have always cherished my life, in this way, I still have a little money, I am willing to take it out, and please raise your noble hand......"
Lu Mingzhi looked at Xu Chengyan so nervous about the pocket watch, so that his face was pale, and guessed that what he said was true, he was different from these low-level policemen, he still wanted some face, and he couldn't pull down his face to rob it, and he didn't like this kind of antique, so he raised his hand and threw the pocket watch back to Xu Chengyan, and sneered in his mouth: "I'm not a robber, I look at you!" ”
"Thank you, thank you..."
Hurriedly catching the pocket watch, Xu Chengyan thanked him repeatedly, and quickly put away the pocket watch and hid it in his arms.
Lu Mingzhi was obviously very interested in Xu Chengyan, and his eyes looked Xu Chengyan up and down, and looked him carefully.
To tell the truth, the figure and appearance of the person in front of him are similar to the characteristics explained by the special high class, tall, slender limbs, and thin body, but this age is a little wrong, at most twenty-five or sixteen, obviously a little young.
There is also Xu Chengyan's eyebrows and eyes are clean, his temperament is elegant, he stands upright, he pulls his robe with one hand, his demeanor is gentle, and he has no disobedience and pretentiousness.
However, Lu Mingzhi did not let go of Xu Chengyan easily, although the pockmarked face mentioned in the special high school class is an important identification feature, but this feature can also be camouflaged, but the height and size of the person are difficult to hide, and he always faintly feels that the person opposite is unusual, but for a while, he can't say what is wrong.
At this time, the people who searched the house came out to report that they really did not find anything suspicious.
Lu Mingzhi glanced at Xu Chengyan and instructed his subordinates: "Take care of this person." ”
After saying that, he raised his legs and entered the room, searched it himself, and after a while, he walked out of the door, apparently finding nothing.
But Lu Mingzhi was not discouraged, his eyes scanned back and forth in this small courtyard, the courtyard was not big, and he could see it clearly at a glance.
Soon, his gaze stayed on the southeast corner of the wall, where there were some miscellaneous items, all dustpans, brooms, shovels, rotten wood, etc., and there was a pile of briquettes for heating the fire next to it, which looked a little messy.
"Get things out of the way!"
With Lu Mingzhi's order, his subordinates stepped forward three times and divided five by two to move things away, but they still didn't find it.
Lu Mingzhi stepped forward and kicked the briquette pile with his foot, Shanxi is rich in coal, usually uses briquettes made of crushed cinders to heat and boil water, rarely uses firewood, there are special briquette companies on the market to supply door-to-door, the price is cheap, easy to use, so every household will prepare some.
"Peel these briquettes apart!"
Lu Mingzhi did things carefully, once he became suspicious, he would not give up easily, and his subordinates did not dare to complain, so they picked up a shovel and opened it, and raised a black ball of briquettes around him, but there was still nothing.
Lu Mingzhi was heartbroken, he turned his head to look at Xu Chengyan, nodded slightly and didn't speak, just waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to collect the team and leave.
Xu Chengyan's heart was relieved, although he had made enough preparations, but he still didn't expect that it would be Lu Mingzhi, a traitor, who would personally come to the door to search, and he seemed to be suspicious of himself, so that he was entangled, but fortunately, he was careful and finally coped with the past.
But just when he had just relaxed his vigilance, Lu Mingzhi, who had already walked behind him, suddenly shouted in his ear: "Lizheng!" ”
