Xu Chengyan returned to the house and walked around the room, carefully analyzing the search operation tonight.

From the words of Sergeant Zhao and Lu Mingzhi, we can guess the general situation, first of all, someone launched an attack on the special high class, as for whether it is the Chongqing agent that Sergeant Zhao said, Xu Chengyan believes that it is indeed true.

Because in the retaliation action launched by Taiyuan Station this time, the Japanese officers led by Yoshioka Masao of the Special High School were all listed in the list, and they were the primary targets of the Taiyuan Station to be assassinated.

Secondly, according to what Chu Guangji said, the action team of Taiyuan Station has been in place and is preparing to carry out the clearing task, and this time is just right, so Xu Chengyan judged that this time should be a big operation of the action team.

It's just a pity, according to Lu Mingzhi, Yoshioka Masao is obviously still alive, and this attack cannot be considered a success.

However, according to Xu Chengyan's judgment, it is impossible for the action team to retreat from such a big operation, and it will have to pay some price, but I don't know if it will be bitten by the Japanese and bring a greater threat to Taiyuan Station.

He thought about it repeatedly, but he was suffering from the lack of superfluous information and clues, so he always couldn't get the point, and he couldn't inquire, even if it was Ding Mingrui's side, it was estimated that he wouldn't know more.

Because the work of the intelligence station is divided into different parts, the task of the task force will not be notified to the intelligence department, and Ding Mingrui is only a head of the intelligence team, and he has no access to any secrets.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Xu Chengyan gathered all the clouds and rushed to Han Zhirong's residence together, which was still the teahouse, and the two of them asked for tea and snacks, and sat opposite each other next to the seats by the window.

Ji Yun said in a low voice: "Last night was really a bit dangerous, this search was very strong, and it almost cost me back, and it took a lot of money to get through." ”

"I'm the same, it's good that those policemen recognize the money, otherwise I wouldn't have been involved." Xu Chengyan said softly, he carefully recalled the scene last night, and he still has palpitations, especially Lu Mingzhi later, looking at his gaze, there is always something wrong.

"I heard that someone attacked the Japanese special high school, is it one of our people?"

"It's not wrong, it should have been initiated by the action team, but it is estimated that it did not succeed, and Masao Yoshioka is still alive."

Xu Chengyan recounted what he heard yesterday to Ji Yun.

"Lu Mingzhi? Did you see him? Ji Yun asked in surprise, this is one of the several traitors in this incident, the former captain of the Taiyuan Intelligence Station, who betrayed the entire team to the Japanese, and is definitely a traitor with a heinous crime.

"Not only did I see that this guy was an old agent, he felt very keen, and asked me a few words, although he barely passed the test, but for some reason, I always felt that something was wrong, this person was a hidden danger sooner or later."

Xu Chengyan is extremely cautious, as long as there is a hidden danger, it must be eliminated in advance, with his style, he has always taken the initiative, and will never wait for the danger to come to his head before reacting, and it will be useless at that time.

"Why don't you kill him early?"

Ji Yun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, the reason why they, the hidden personnel, can deal with the enemy, the biggest advantage is their hidden identity, they can hide among ordinary people, the enemy is clear and secret, and they have the initiative, but if their identity is suspected, then danger will follow.

Xu Chengyan thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, that guy is wearing a police uniform, and the sergeant also calls him Section Chief Lu, it seems that he is now working in the police headquarters, and his specific position is also easy to check."

However, this person was thrown out by the Japanese at this time, and I am afraid that the problem is not simple, don't make it a bait, we still have to be careful. ”

Both of them were a little hesitant, and after a while, Xu Chengyan waved his hand: "Don't care about him first, the meal must always be eaten one bite at a time, our plan remains the same, kill Han Zhirong first, and then deal with Yoshioka Masao, if we can retreat with our whole body, it is not too late to fight him again." ”

The implication is that even with Xu Chengyan's self-confidence, he is not optimistic about the assassination of Yoshioka Masao, he is ready to sacrifice at any time, as long as the assassination of Yoshioka Masao is successful, then everything is worth it.

While they were talking, the door of Han Zhirong's house opened not far away, and Han Zhirong walked out with his wife and children.

After waiting at the door for a while, but not waiting for Jiang San to appear, Han Zhirong raised his hand to look at the time, obviously a little anxious, so he took a few steps, beckoned a rickshaw at the intersection, sent his wife and children to the car, and rushed to school, and then walked to the provincial office.

Xu Chengyan saw these actions in his eyes and said to Ji Yun: "Jiang San didn't appear, I'm afraid this guy may be alert, let's not follow too closely!" ”

Ji Yun nodded, and the two of them walked out of the teahouse together, following behind Han Zhirong from a distance.

As Xu Chengyan expected, Han Zhirong really looked a little abnormal, he deliberately changed the route of the past, preferring to detour two more streets, and also chose a busy road, observing the surrounding situation from time to time.

However, Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun were already on guard and kept their distance far enough, until Han Zhirong entered the provincial office, and no problem was found.

Hiding in the corner, Ji Yun looked at the gate of the Provincial Office, and said helplessly: "This guy is really cautious, it seems that getting rid of Jiang San must make him feel wrong." ”

Xu Chengyan was quite confident, long before he got rid of Jiang San, he had already anticipated the current situation, and said lightly: "Don't worry, even if Han Zhirong knows that Jiang San is dead, he only has doubts in his heart, and if he can't confirm it, it is related to the military commander, as long as he is lucky, we will have a chance." ”

As they guessed, Han Zhirong did feel that something was wrong, Jiang San had been helping in his house for many years, although he was a little greedy, but he never missed things, because Jiang San cherished this job very much, unless he was sick or something major happened, he would go to work on time every morning, but today he couldn't wait for a long time, which made Han Zhirong, who already had a ghost in his heart, suddenly a little uneasy.

So he was extra careful along the way, paying attention to everything that happened around him, but after a few verifications, he did not find anything abnormal, so he felt a little calmer, and secretly said that he was really under too much mental pressure, overreacted, and became a little suspicious.

At noon, he rushed home, and as soon as he walked to the gate, he saw his wife and children coming back from school in a rickshaw, but the rickshaw driver was not Jiang San, he was also familiar with each other, and he was a coachman who often worked nearby.

After his wife got out of the car, Han Zhirong frowned and asked, "Why, Jiang San didn't pick you up, and he hasn't come to work yet?" ”

His wife, Xu Manzhen, held the child in her hands, her face was full of sadness, she turned her head to signal to the coachman, and replied softly: "I heard them just now that Jiang San and his car were found at Sanhe Bridge this morning. ”

Han Zhirong was shocked when he heard this, Jiang San died? He hurriedly asked the coachman, "Is Jiang San really dead?" How did he die? ”

The coachman hurriedly replied: "It must have been last night when I fell into the river, the place of the Sanhe Bridge, you also know, the broken bridge is in disrepair, the bridge deck is narrow and slippery, not even a fence, it's good to say during the day, it's dangerous to fall into it at night, someone has fallen down and lost their lives every three or five times, no, there was one the day before yesterday, Jiang San fell down again last night, alas, no one cares, you have to be careful when you cross that ghost place in the future." ”

The situation of Sanhe Bridge has been going on for a long time, and Han Zhirong is naturally clear, but it is not Jiang San's way home.

Thinking of this, he asked: "Why did Jiang Sansan run to Sanhe Bridge at night?" ”

"This must be a smuggling job." The coachman hastened to explain.

He also wanted to succeed Jiang San and be a chartered driver for the Han family, you must know that he can be chartered by the main family, the income is high and stable, and the labor intensity is low, which is much better than them who are outside in the wind and rain, walking around the streets and alleys to scatter work.

So he was no longer taboo, and directly explained the matter clearly: "Mr. Han, in fact, we all know that Jiang San has a monthly subscription from you, and he often takes the time to go out to work, whether it is dirty or broken, what kind of person pulls, and it is not delayed at all to earn two money."

Yesterday must have run to Yichun Gate to earn extra money, this guy is not authentic, if you use me, you must not let others touch this car, you see, my car is new face, clean and ......"

The coachman was babbling to promote himself, but Han Zhirong was in no mood to talk about it at all, so he gave the money and sent the coachman away, and returned to his home with a gloomy face.

As soon as he entered the door, he threw his briefcase on the table, sat on the seat without saying a word, and thought repeatedly in his mind, although the words of the coachman just now could explain Jiang San's death, but he was still not sure, whether it had anything to do with him? You must know that if someone is secretly investigating him, then it is possible to contact the people around him, and Jiang San is a good target.

As a latent intelligence agent, he must be suspicious of any abnormalities that occur around him, and Han Zhirong feels that he has to find another way to verify Jiang San's death, otherwise he will always be at ease.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, got up and was about to go out again, but was stopped by his wife Xu Manzhen.

"It's about to be eaten, where are you going?"

Han Zhirong replied casually: "I'll go to Sanhe Bridge to take a look, Jiang San has been helping here in our house for so many years, he is alone, I'm afraid that there is no one to collect the body, now that I leave, I always have to take a look." ”

Xu Manzhen heard that this was also the case, so he didn't say more, but Han Zhirong stopped and instructed Xu Manzhen again: "Also, you and your children won't go out in the past two days, just stay at home, don't go." ”

"What?" Xu Manzhen couldn't help but be a little surprised, she looked at Han Zhirong, "The child always has to go to school, I have to go to get the customized jewelry tomorrow, and besides, Shiwu said that he has something to do in the past two days, let me help him look at the shop......"

Before his wife's words were finished, Han Zhirong couldn't bear it, as soon as he mentioned his bastard brother-in-law, he was angry, and said fiercely: "Okay, it's your baby brother again, he is idle all day long, spent so much money, and gave him a shop, hoping that he will change his evil ways and make a good living, but he is good, he is a hands-off shopkeeper, and it is rare to show his face a few times, and he is embarrassed to ask your sister to show him the shop, you really don't know the stakes." ”

He was in an anxious mood, and at this time he mentioned his troubles, and he couldn't help but get more and more angry, thinking about all the things before, he couldn't suppress it, and reprimanded: "Do you still want our family?" Everything is your brother, your brother! He's bigger than the sky! Running in front of you and crying twice, you can't wait to pour out your heart to him, in order to save him, you emptied your family before, I look at your face, forget it.

But I have repeatedly warned you not to move the money, but you just don't listen, listen to his bewitchment, and with a wave of your hand, you will give him the shop, and everyone knows how the money came from, don't you know? You're trying to kill me! ”

Seeing Han Zhirong bring up the old things again, Xu Manzhen was not to be outdone, she hated Han Zhirong for her younger brother the most, and immediately retorted: "It is precisely because Shiwu is not a weapon that I want to help him, I am just this younger brother, I am the closest person in this world, what's wrong with spending some money for him?" Don't spend it now, wait for us to go to Beiping, who will take care of him? ”

As soon as these words came out, Han Zhirong trembled with anger, pointed at Xu Manzhen, his lips shrunk, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence: "As the old saying goes, if there is a good wife in the family, the husband will not suffer misfortune, and my life will die in your hands sooner or later!" ”

After that, he stopped entanglement with Xu Manzhen and walked away.
