On the playground of Dong'an Primary School, school worker Geng Dacheng was cleaning with a broom in his hand, and when the bell rang for the end of class, the children rushed out of the classroom, ran to the playground, and began to play in groups.

Geng Dacheng looked at the cheerful figures of the children with a smile, shoveled up the pile of garbage with a dustpan, poured it on the trolley, and pushed it to the garbage pile on the side, and then packed up the tools and prepared to put them in the utility room.

When passing by the gatehouse, the old gatekeeper poked his head out of the window and greeted Geng Dacheng: "Dacheng, your relatives called you just now, so that you have time to accompany him to the hospital to see a doctor." ”

Geng Dacheng stopped when he heard this, and a trace of discoloration flashed in his eyes, but he immediately returned to normal, and replied with a smile: "Thank you, Lao Liu, my cousin's waist and legs are inconvenient, and every time I go to the hospital, I have to use people, I happened to be on vacation in the afternoon, so I will accompany him to take a look." ”

"Dacheng, you are a warm-hearted person, whoever has difficulties will reach out, my old eyes are not mistaken, good people have good rewards!" Lao Liu nodded in praise.

This school worker, who has just come to the school, is honest and hardworking, diligent in his hands and feet, and often helps Lao Liu run errands and deliver things, and he has a good impression of him up and down.

Geng Dacheng was not in the mood to chat with Lao Liu at this time, so he quickly put away the tools, took off the sleeves on his sleeves, slapped his whole body a few times to clean up the neatness, said hello to Lao Liu, and walked out of the school gate slowly.

As soon as he left the school gate, he walked quickly to a nearby teahouse, stepped in, and saw Cao Ruian sitting in a corner.

The two looked at each other, Geng Dacheng took a few steps, stepped forward and sat down opposite Cao Rui'an, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something?" ”

Geng Dacheng served as the head of the first intelligence team of the Taiyuan Intelligence Station, and he had to report his work to Cao Ruian every once in a while, but today was not the day to report, and Cao Ruian should not directly notify Geng Dacheng to meet by phone, unless it was a special situation, so Geng Dacheng was surprised in his heart, and as soon as he received the signal, he hurried out to meet Cao Ruian.

Cao Ruian nodded slightly, and asked with a solemn face: "Let me ask you, did you find a tailor shop to make the matter of preparing the police uniform before I arranged for you to prepare it?" ”

"Yes, I reported to you about that." Geng Dacheng looked at Cao Ruian with some surprise, could it be that something went wrong in this matter? Let Cao Ruian suddenly come to him.

Cao Ruian frowned slightly, hesitated, and said softly: "One of our intelligence agents has discovered a new situation......

He told Xu Chengyan yesterday about the situation about Ma Weide, and finally said: "Ma Weide, this evil wolf is not easy to deal with, he has a keen sense of smell, there must be a reason for this, I didn't sleep well all night yesterday, I think about it, I can have something to do with this matter, that is, you prepared those police uniforms, so I came to you today." ”

Hearing Cao Rui'an's narration, Geng Dacheng's heart was relieved, and he said with a smile: "So that's the case, I think you are too worried, a little movement in this investigation department is not necessarily aimed at us, they have more people to deal with, besides, what's the use of him visiting a tailor's shop?" Is it possible to find a needle in a haystack and find our heads? ”

"Are you sure there were no flaws left in the process of preparing the police uniform?" Cao Ruian asked again.

Geng Dacheng looked at Cao Rui'an's serious expression, and still had no intention of relaxing, but his heart sank, and he sank down, and carefully recalled all the previous processes.

At that time, Cao Ruian handed over the task of preparing the police uniform to him, and the time required was still very tight, Geng Dacheng began to think of a lot of ways, but he had just infiltrated Taiyuan, and he had not yet established enough contacts, whether it was the police station or the clothing factory, he did not find a suitable opportunity.

However, Cao Rui'an was still in a hurry, Geng Dacheng was helpless, and finally proposed to spend a lot of money to forge it directly, this method was also agreed by Cao Rui'an, and the cost of making police uniforms was specially approved by Cao Rui'an, but fortunately, although this method was stupid, it was very effective, and finally completed the task on time.

As for the tailor shop, Geng Dacheng inquired for a long time, knowing that the tailor shop's business was not good, and he must be short of money, so he came to the door to give it a try, and in the process of contact, he did not reveal his true identity, everything went smoothly, and there was no trace of it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Geng Dacheng said again: "I confirm that there is no problem. ”

Despite Geng Dacheng's repeated assurances that there was no problem, Cao Ruian frowned, and for some reason, his instinct told him that a potential crisis was coming at him, and the enemy was getting closer and closer to him.

Cao Ruian was able to serve as the director of intelligence, not only because he was a confidant who had followed Chu Guangji for many years, but more importantly, he was unmatched among these old brothers, both in terms of experience and means, so Chu Guangji entrusted him with the important task of entrusting him with the most important department in the intelligence station.

At this time, he weighed it again and again, and still felt that he could not have the slightest negligence and slackness, not afraid of 10,000, but afraid that in case, his side could not afford to gamble at all, so he looked straight and ordered: "You evacuate temporarily first!" ”

"Evacuate?" Geng Dacheng couldn't help but look at Cao Ruian in surprise, not understanding why he made this decision.

Cao Ruian said again: "Yes, evacuate, and evacuate immediately, no matter what, since we have discovered an abnormal situation, we can't help but make a contingency, just in case, you go out of the city to hide first, and wait for us to figure out Ma Weide's true intentions, and then make a decision." ”

Geng Dacheng was unwilling, and hurriedly defended: "Lao Cao, I am doing well in my current identity, just give up at will for a piece of headless news, isn't it a bit of a job, let's talk ...... it?"

"That's it! So decided! Cao Ruian interrupted him with a wave of his hand, his face was gloomy, and he said categorically, "Zhiguo, we are old brothers, you should know my temper, since it has been decided, you must obey." ”

Geng Dacheng's real name is Geng Zhiguo, codenamed Rhinoceros, and like Cao Ruian, they are all Chu Guangji's old subordinates, the two know each other, and he knows Cao Rui'an's personality very well.

Don't look at the usual days, Cao Ruian treats people and things with a kind look, but only the old people who have been with them for many years know that once they get serious, even Chu Guangji will think twice.

"Alright, I'll evacuate immediately!" Geng Zhiguo shook his head helplessly, he knew Cao Ruian's temper, and put aside the identity of his brother, in terms of position, Cao Ruian was his immediate boss, and the Military Command Bureau had strict military orders, and he must obey unconditionally.

"However, what about the work of BFIP, I have to leave, and I have to explain the work."

Geng Zhiguo, as the leader of the intelligence team, once he left, the work of the intelligence team came to a standstill, and some arrangements had to be made, but Cao Ruian still shook his head and said: "The activities of your group are temporarily suspended, and the specific time for resuming work will be notified, I will arrange these things, you don't have to care about anything, evacuate immediately, don't go back to school and residence, go directly to the safe house in the south of the city, and then I will arrange for you to go out of the city at night." ”

As the director of intelligence, Cao Ruian knows all the information about his intelligence officers, including pseudonyms, residences and disguised identities, etc., and can directly take over the work during special periods.

When Geng Zhiguo heard Cao Rui'an's arrangement, he couldn't help frowning, and wanted to say something more, but when he saw Cao Rui'an's solemn and serious gaze, he knew that he couldn't disobey him at all, so he had to nod and agree.

The matter was explained clearly, Cao Ruian took the lead in getting up, and Geng Zhiguo was also ready to leave.

But for some reason, Cao Ruian only felt uneasy, and couldn't help but turn around and admonish: "Zhiguo, be careful, don't take risks!" ”

"Don't worry, I know!" Geng Zhiguo nodded in agreement.

After the two broke up, Geng Zhiguo did not go back to school, and rushed directly to the south of the city, but after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but stop.

He stood where he was, thinking about it again, and always felt that Cao Ruian had overreacted a little this time, although the investigation department of the Xinmin Association was also a peripheral organization of the special high class, but it was responsible for a wide range of work, not only to be responsible for the internal and external audit and investigation of the Xinmin Association, but more often to deal with the underground party organizations of the Red Party, and not much time to target the military command.

Now, with a little abnormality in the Investigation Section, he hurriedly ordered himself to evacuate, to be honest, he disagreed with it in his heart, but the military order was difficult to disobey, and he had to carry it out.

But there is no need to go in such a hurry, now this identity is well hidden, it is a pity to give it up like this, if you go to school first to find an excuse to take a long vacation, and then go to avoid the limelight, and wait for everything to find out, and come back again, it is not a compromise solution, wouldn't the effect be better?

In addition, there are some important things that need to be packed in one's residence, such as one's own gun and a fund for the activities of the intelligence group, which must also be taken away, otherwise, if you leave suddenly, if these things are discovered, your identity will be exposed, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

The more Geng Zhiguo thought about it, the more reasonable it became, so he turned around and rushed to the school, returned to the school, and found the principal, only saying that his relatives were seriously ill and needed to be taken care of for a while, so he wanted to take a long vacation.

The headmaster's person is quite kind, and he has a very good impression of him, and readily agrees to his request.

After arranging the end of the school, Geng Zhiguo rushed back to his residence.

For convenience, he rented a small room on the second floor of a nearby apartment building, some distance from the school.

When he returned home, he first found the landlord and explained, and also told the landlord that he needed to leave for a while on the grounds that his relatives were sick and needed to be taken care of, and then paid a month's rent in advance, appeased the landlord, and then returned to his home.

He first simply packed up a few clothes, then took out his gun and activity funds from the dark compartment under the bed, hid them with him, and turned around and walked out of the house.

Turning around and locking the door, he walked downstairs quickly, just about to walk out of the door of the apartment, just leaned out half of his body, suddenly his eyes flickered, only to feel a tight heart, a thrill all over his body, his body suddenly stopped, and then took a step back, and his body was hidden in the doorway.

Not far away, Liu Youxue, the owner of the tailor shop, was looking left and right, and walked in this direction step by step, with several officers of the investigation department in civilian clothes following him a few steps behind.

Geng Zhiguo leaned against the door, his heart was pounding, he recognized Liu Youxue at a glance just now, and then saw several big men behind him, and secretly screamed in his heart, how could it be so coincidental? How did the owner of this tailor shop end up here? Is it really as Cao Ruian said, things really came against him?

He was apprehensive in his heart, so he had to comfort himself, I hope it was just a coincidence, he and Liu Youxue had met twice, and they went out to meet each other head-on at this time, and once they were recognized, they would be in trouble.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, he didn't dare to delay any longer, looked left and right, and could only turn around and go up the stairs, but to his disappointment, these people also followed him and walked into the apartment building, only one step away, he was blocked in the apartment building.

The men stayed in the doorway for a moment, for the corridor was quiet, and the voices of their voices were clearly heard.

"Is this it?" A dull, slightly hoarse voice asked.

"That's right, the people in the school said it was this apartment building, and the house number was right."

The dull voice sounded again: "Arrange a few people outside, stare the door to death, this guy suddenly asked for leave, there must be a reason, it is likely to run, we must move quickly!" ”

Hearing this, Geng Zhiguo suddenly had no luck in his heart, the other party was indeed coming for him, and he had already found the school.

When I was looking for a job in school, I registered my own residential address, and the other party must have chased after me along this line, almost with my own front and back feet, and the action was so fast!

At this time, Geng Zhiguo didn't have time to regret it, he turned his head to look around, and couldn't help but secretly complain, this apartment building is not big, there are only two floors, and there are only seven or eight residents up and down.

I can't go back to my room, and if I go back, I will be blocked at home, and I will kill myself, and the residents of several other houses are also closed, and the place is so big that there is not even a place to hide.

At this time, the sound of footsteps on the stairs sounded, seeing that the other party was about to go upstairs, Geng Zhiguo looked at a window at the end of the corridor, and without hesitation, he threw away the burden of the clothes in his hand, ran a few steps, jumped up, grabbed the edge of the window, and then turned over and drilled through the window.

At this time, a call came from behind him: "The person is here, he is going to run ......"

The other party saw Geng Zhiguo passing through the window, and immediately shouted loudly, and several people rushed over.

Below the window, there was a row of roofs of bungalows, and Geng Zhiguo jumped and landed on the roof, running as fast as he could.

But then a few crisp gunshots rang out behind him, Geng Zhiguo only felt a shock in his right calf, and then a sharp pain came, his body was unbalanced, and he fell from the roof at once, fell to the ground with a grunt of tiles, and slapped heavily on the ground.

For a while, I only felt that the world was spinning, and it took a long time to come back, and at this time, shouts sounded all around, and chaotic footsteps rushed to the place where he landed.

He quickly stood up and limped forward, dragging a long trail of blood under his feet, but the figure in front of him flickered, and it was obvious that someone was already blocking the alley.

It's too late to turn back, it's a one-way alley behind the apartment building, and there's only one passage in front and back, and he's trapped here.

Geng Zhiguo staggered a few steps to the door of a house, turned sideways, borrowed a little cover, took out a gun and raised his hand to shoot at the exposed figure in front of him, and a figure fell to the ground in response.

The other people on the opposite side saw that he had a gun, they were too frightened to approach, they all pulled out their guns and fired back, for a while, the gunshots were loud, and the bullets shuttled back and forth in this small space, only one of them looked at the face, Geng Zhiguo's exposed shoulder was shot again, blood splattered, and a few drops of blood were splashed on his face.

"Don't shoot, catch you alive..." was the dull voice again, and the shooting on the other side immediately stopped, leaving only Geng Zhiguo barely pulling the trigger, and two gunshots rang out in the alley, but in vain.

For a while, the surroundings were quiet, and the people on the other side did not dare to rush in easily, Geng Zhiguo was also weak, leaning on the door frame behind him, only to feel that his whole body was withdrawing little by little.

He was hit by two gunshot wounds in his body, bleeding nonstop, and the gun in his hand was also a little unable to hold it, especially the wound on his leg was in severe pain, so he could only grit his teeth and struggle to prevent himself from falling.

"Geng Dacheng! You're already surrounded, honestly put down your guns and go back with us, or you'll be dead......"

The opposite side was led by Ma Weide, who personally led the team, he followed the clues provided by Liu Youxue all the way over, without a moment's delay, but it was still a step too late, and he got to this point, and he didn't know if he could catch the live mouth, if he just got a corpse, and the clues were broken again, then it would be in vain.

And Geng Zhiguo was even more remorseful in his heart, regretting that he should not have listened to Cao Rui'an's words, disobeyed the order and threw himself into the net, and as a result, he was blocked at home, in a desperate situation and could not get out.

If you don't go to school to ask for leave, if you don't come back to pack your things, if you talk to the landlord less, even if you buy a few more minutes, you won't be stuck here.

In the final analysis, it was my own negligence and luck, and I made the mistake that an intelligence officer should not make, and the cost was too great.

Geng Zhiguo closed his eyes in pain, his head hit the door frame one by one, and he wanted to die here, and he regretted it in his heart!

He had experienced many dangerous moments in his life, how many times he had escaped death, but this time, he knew that it was time for him to choose his fate.

Is it to defect to the enemy, and then betray his brother, and save his life?

Or do you keep your original vow, be loyal to your country, and give up everything, including your own life, for the great cause of recovery?

The matching gun in his hand was raised, and he gently withdrew from the magazine, looking at the last bullet inside, and his heart was filled with an indescribable bitterness.

This is a Browning pistol, his beloved thing for many years, but he didn't expect that the last bullet fired would be to give him a ride.

Closing the magazine, deaf to the constant persuasion from the other side, he put the muzzle of the gun on his forehead, took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and then pulled the trigger sharply with his fingers.

A dull gunshot rang out, and his body fell to the ground, killing him on the spot!
