Chapter XVII

Seeing that the time was about to reach 12 o'clock, but the person had not yet appeared, Ma Qing'er, who was becoming more and more anxious, couldn't sit still, and she began to wonder if the person had forgotten to meet at 12 o'clock last night. Ma Qing'er was anxious, and naturally ignored Tang Cheng, who had just walked into the café, who just glanced at Ma Qing'er, then took the newspaper he had just bought on the street and sat down behind Ma Qing'er.

There is never a shortage of customers like Tang Cheng who read the newspaper while drinking coffee, so after Tang Cheng sat down, he opened the newspaper to cover his head, and no one in the café felt strange. "Don't look back, listen to me carefully!" Just when Ma Qing'er looked down at her watch again, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her, Ma Qing'er's body shook and she was about to turn around and look, but she forcibly pressed it down.

Ma Qing'er was able to forcibly control her emotions, which surprised Tang Cheng a little, and the woman who was not favored by Tang Cheng was still a little capable. "Judging by your appearance, you must not know how to contact the Shanghai station, since you have lost contact with your superiors, it is better to leave Shanghai first and return to the military command headquarters." Tang Cheng's voice was very soft, and Ma Qing'er had to concentrate in order to hear every word Tang Cheng said.

"There are still four hours to go, and there is a cruise ship at the pier that goes to **, and this cruise ship will not stop halfway. I will give you an address, and when you get to **, you can contact the intelligence station of the military command in ** according to this address, and through them, you can go north to Wuhan and return to the headquarters of the military command. Although it takes more time to take the sea route than the land route, the sea route is safe, and you a young woman who takes the land route to Wuhan may not be out of Suzhou, and you will be targeted. ”

Ma Qing'er is from Shanghai Station, even if Tang Cheng wants to help her, it is impossible to get Ma Qing'er to Chongqing. Besides, Tang Cheng's words just now were actually just testing this woman, and with Hans's help, it was easy for Tang Cheng to find the stronghold of Shanghai standing in the concession. Ma Qing'er didn't know that Tang Cheng was testing herself, but she hadn't been there, and she was still suspicious of Tang Cheng's identity, so she didn't respond immediately.

Ma Qing'er is not an operator of the Shanghai Station, but in the final analysis, she has also received the necessary training, compared to ordinary people, even if Ma Qing'er is grateful to Tang Cheng for saving herself, she still has the necessary vigilance. Ma Qing'er's silence made Tang Cheng, who pretended to read the newspaper, secretly laugh, he knew that the woman behind him must be doubting his identity at the moment, but none of this mattered, he just needed to know whether this woman still had the determination to persist in Shanghai.

After a while, Ma Qing'er finally whispered, "Can I continue to stay in Shanghai?" I have a partner who is usually in charge of the contact with my superiors. I thought about it last night, and he once mentioned to me a dead mailbox, and I think that dead mail can be used to contact my superiors. When Ma Qing'er mentioned the dead mailbox, her voice fluctuated slightly, and her tone became a little tight. Tang Cheng secretly laughed when he heard this, he had already guessed that this woman was testing himself, if there was really a dead mailbox, why didn't this woman go to find that dead mailbox early in the morning?

Tang Cheng, who was sitting back to back with Ma Qing'er, didn't need to look back at Ma Qing'er's expression at the moment to guess the other party's thoughts. However, Tang Cheng did not say anything to debunk the other party, but he secretly admired Ma Qing'er's vigilance, "You said you have a companion?" Then why did I see you alone in that house last night? Tang Cheng, who was secretly laughing in his heart, continued to speak with Ma Qing'er's temptation. Could it be that one of your companions has already been captured by the Japanese? Otherwise, how could they be so accurate in spying on that street? ”

Tang Cheng's inquiry sounded flawless, and Ma Qing'er was stunned when she heard this, yes! I was trapped in that house all day, and Hu Kai never showed up, could it be that Hu Kai really had an accident? Ma Qing'er quickly thought about it in her mind, but unfortunately there was too little information on hand that could be used for analysis, and Ma Qing'er didn't know what happened to Hu Kai, who had not shown up all this time! In a cautious and cautious manner, Ma Qinger first assumed in her heart that Hu Kai had been arrested, and it had been 20 hours since she last saw Hu Kai, maybe Hu Kai had really had an accident.

Ma Qing'er was panicked in her heart, but the suspicion of Tang Cheng in her heart was also undiminished. In the hotel room last night, Ma Qing'er carefully recalled the whole process of Tang Cheng standing on the side of the street and sending Morse code to himself and rescuing himself in the middle of the night. After carefully recalling all the details, Ma Qinger suddenly realized that she didn't seem to remember the other party's appearance and physical characteristics, and even the other party's accent. Although Ma Qing'er is not a member of the Shanghai station, she has also received the necessary training from the military commander, and she is good at intelligence analysis, but it is the first time for her to make such a low-level mistake.

At this moment, it was Ma Qing'er's inspiration to use the death mailbox to test Tang Cheng, but she didn't expect that Tang Cheng would follow her temptation to extend the topic downward, and extend the topic to Hu Kai. "I don't know if the last time I saw him was yesterday morning. He just said he was going out to get a piece of information, and he never showed up again. Ma Qing'er was talking about Hu Kai, who had lost contact for more than 20 hours, Tang Cheng listened carefully, but did not interrupt Ma Qing'er.

After Ma Qing'er said the last word, she suddenly came back to her senses, and her face changed dramatically in her heart, and she actually told the stranger about the contact point unknowingly. Tang Cheng, who seemed to sense that Ma Qing'er's aura was a little wrong, and had been listening carefully, said, "If you want to try that dead mailbox, there is no problem on my side, but you have to be careful, what happened last night made the special high school very annoyed, and the number of plainclothes agents in the concession must be more than yesterday." ”

Ma Qing'er's counter-temptation made Tang Cheng understand that this woman was not a weak woman who was powerless, and Tang Cheng did not test other problems, and chose to respect the other party's wishes. "It takes time to wait for a reply from the dead mailbox, and I will come here for coffee at 12 o'clock in three days, and I hope you will have a clear answer in three days. This money is given to you, don't keep using dollars, that will cause unnecessary trouble. Tang Cheng's voice fell, and Ma Qing'er suddenly felt something hit her right leg.

Ma Qing'er subconsciously looked down and found that it was a bulging wallet at his right foot, Ma Qing'er immediately leaned over and picked up the wallet from the ground, and after getting up, he suddenly found that the person sitting behind him had quietly left. Ma Qiang'er's first reaction was to get up and chase out of the café, but she was worried that she would cause trouble, so she had to pack the money in her handbag, and only after a few minutes did Ma Qinger get up and leave the café.

Tang Cheng, who left the café first, actually didn't go far, when Ma Qing'er came out of the café, Tang Cheng stood at the door of a shoe store not far from the café, looking at Ma Qing'er from a distance. watched Ma Qing'er return to the hotel along the street, secretly following Tang Cheng of the other party, and finally turned around and left. Tang Cheng can already preliminarily judge that Ma Qing'er has no problem at this moment, but if you want Tang Cheng to fully believe in Ma Qing'er, you still need to look at Ma Qing'er's own performance.

Seeing Ma Qing'er return to the hotel, Tang Cheng turned to leave, but instead of returning to his residence, he went to Hans's restaurant. "Hans, I need a favor from you, I heard that the military commander Shanghai Station has been having a bad time for a while, and I want to know their contact point in the concession." Seeing Hans again, Tang Cheng went straight to the point and explained his purpose to Hans. In the matter of bulletproof vests, Hans, who thought he had suffered a loss, would let go of this good opportunity to take advantage of Tang Cheng, but before he could open his mouth to ridicule Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng threw him a briefcase first.

"Don't worry, I won't let you do this in vain!" Tang Cheng, who had sat down across from Hans, stretched out his hand and pointed to the briefcase on the table. "This is a good thing I just got it, it is the design drawings of the American Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun, that is, the M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun that the US army is currently equipped with. As far as I can tell, many countries, including your German talent, are playing with the idea of this large-caliber heavy machine gun. As he spoke, Tang Cheng pressed the briefcase with his fingers and gently pushed it towards Hans, pushing the briefcase into Hans's hand.

"Tang, what are you looking for the military command Shanghai station? According to what you told me before, you should be in the same group as the people in Shanghai! Could it be that when you came to Shanghai, the military commander did not give you the convenience of urgently contacting the Shanghai station? Hans, who was overjoyed, couldn't wait to open the briefcase to check the drawings inside, and asked Tang Cheng about the puzzle in his heart. Tang Cheng has always told Hans that he is not a military commander, but Hans has never believed it, especially now, Hans feels that Tang Cheng is deliberately misleading him.

"It's hard for me to explain this to you! In short, as long as you are willing to help, this drawing will be given to you! Hans took out the folded drawings from his briefcase, and before he could open the drawings to look at them, Tang Cheng pressed them on the table with his hands. Do me a favor first, this thing is here, and when I get what I want, this thing will be yours! It was difficult to tell whether the drawings that were pressed under Tang Cheng's palm were forged or not, and after Hans's eyes flickered secretly, he had to pick up the phone and call one of his subordinates.

"Give me half an hour, and I'll promise you'll get what you want." After Hans hung up the phone, Tang Cheng let go of the drawing, and did not stop Hans from looking through it. "I'm curious, how did you get this thing, I heard that the Yankees have sealed this thing a long time ago, I think this drawing seems to be the original!" Hans, who opened the drawing, did not pay attention to the contents of the drawing, but first looked at the rows of small characters and stamps below the drawing, so as to distinguish the authenticity of the drawing.
