After negotiating with Zhu Xuemo, Lin Jiangbei left the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, returned to his residence in Lafeifang, and waited for Liu Xuan's return with peace of mind. But he waited from the afternoon until more than eight o'clock in the evening, and Liu Xuan did not come back.

Lin Jiangbei couldn't sit still, worried that something would happen to Liu Xuan. Just when he was thinking about whether to find a way to contact Ruan Yihui from the Hongkou patrol room, he heard the sound of the courtyard door outside.

He gently opened the corner of the curtain and looked down through the glass, but saw Liu Xuanzheng standing outside the courtyard gate, taking out the key to open the iron gate of the courtyard.

Lin Jiangbei's gaze swept to Liu Xuan's back again, and he didn't find anything abnormal, so his heart was relaxed.

Soon, there was the sound of Liu Xuan greeting Zhou Bo in the hall on the first floor, and then there was a rush of footsteps on the stairs, that is, half a minute's work, the footsteps stopped in front of his door, and then with a few knocks, Liu Xuan's voice sounded outside the door, "Boss Cheng, I'm back!" ”

Lin Jiangbei opened the door, let Liu Xuan in, then closed the door, and asked softly, "Is there something wrong?" Why did it take so long to come back? ”

"It's a little bit of a situation," Liu Xuan said, "but it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing!" ”

"What's good?" Lin Jiangbei asked.

"When I went to the Toko Theater (the previous chapter mistakenly wrote the Toko Theater as the Tohe Theater, and this chapter has changed back to the correct name) to investigate the Shanghai Labor Liaison Office in Araki Oi, I accidentally met an old intelligence officer from Henan Station." Liu Xuan replied, "I delayed talking to him, so I came back late." ”

"Is this old intelligence officer at Henan Station reliable? Is there a risk of exposure? Lin Jiangbei's eyebrows immediately wrinkled, and then he immediately got up, went to the window and opened the curtains, and inspected the situation on the road outside by the street lamps on the road.

The situation on the road is very normal, nothing unusual at all.

"Stationmaster Lin, please rest assured! This old informant is extremely reliable! Liu Xuan understood what Lin Jiangbei was worried about, and immediately came over to explain, "In addition, I didn't come back to us directly from Zhapu Road in Hongkou, but changed two trams, reversed another rickshaw, and after making sure that no one was following, I took a taxi to Fengqiao on Lafeide Road, and then walked for more than ten minutes to go back to our residence." This is also the main reason why I came back so late. ”

I see!

Lin Jiangbei nodded, closed the curtains, sat back on the wooden chair, looked at Liu Xuan and said, "Okay, you can tell me about the situation of this old intelligence officer first!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Xuan sat opposite Lin Jiangbei and told Lin Jiangbei, "This old intelligence officer is called Qin Jiu, and he used to work as a translator at the Japanese Consulate in Zhengzhou. ”

"I have heard that we have provided us with a lot of confidential information about the Japanese secret services in Henan and the Japanese special services in Hankou, which have been verified and are true and valid. Some of the Japanese spy and traitor operations uncovered before Henan Station mainly relied on the inside information provided by Qin Jiu. ”

"Until December 8 last year, in order to support the 129 Beijing Anguo Student Movement, Zhengzhou students went to the Japanese Consulate in Zhengzhou to demonstrate, the Japanese Consulate was closed, the personnel withdrew to Shanghai, Qin Jiu also withdrew to Shanghai, and since then lost contact with Henan Station."

"I went to the Nanyang Cafe opposite the Hongkou Patrol House today to meet Ruan Yihui and Bao Tan, and first learned from Ruan Yihui about the situation of the Dongguang Theater on Zhapu Road. Then he asked Ruan Yihui to help him find out Araki Oi's address in the public concession, and after making an appointment to meet tomorrow, he took a rickshaw to the Dongguang Theater on Zhapu Road to prepare for a preliminary investigation of the Shanghai Labor Liaison Office set up by Araki Oi on the Dongguang Theater. ”

"After arriving at the Dongguang Theater, I found that the situation was exactly the same as what Ruan Yihui had introduced, and all the people who came in and out of the Dongguang Theater were Japanese, and Japanese soldiers accounted for a considerable part of them. If you are a Chinese, it is difficult to blend in. ”

"So I went to a department store at the intersection of Zhapu Road, prepared to buy a suit, and then with the Japanese skills I had laid down in the Zhejiang police, I disguised myself as a Japanese and infiltrated the Dongguang Theater."

"But I didn't want to be tapped on the shoulder as soon as I walked to the counter, and when I turned my head, it was Qin Jiu, an old intelligence officer who had lost contact for more than four months."

"He gestured at me, called out the pseudonym I used to contact him, and said he wanted to invite me to tea."

"So I gave up the idea of buying a suit, followed Qin Jiu outside to find a teahouse, and then found a secluded and uninhabited corner, and took the opportunity to chat with him to learn about his situation during this time."

"He told me that not long after he withdrew to Shanghai with the Japanese, his Japanese superior, Shotaro Tanaka, was appointed head of the Shanghai Special Service Department of the North China Garrison Army, and his position was changed to that of the senior interpreter of the Shanghai Special Service Department of the North China Garrison."

"In the end, he said that if the conditions are right, he is willing to provide us with information on the Japanese side as he did in Zhengzhou before!"

"The right conditions?" Lin Jiangbei's eyebrows moved, and he asked Liu Xuandao: "What do you mean by suitable conditions?" ”

"It's just the right price." Liu Xuan looked at Lin Jiangbei, sighed, and replied, "His information is very accurate, and the content is also very important, but the price is relatively high." When I was at Henan Station, in order to raise money to buy his information, I even took out my longevity gold lock. It is no exaggeration to say that most of my salary at Henan Station, including bonuses, was spent on Qin Jiu. ”

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of high prices. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems! Lin Jiangbei laughed, "There's just one question, Lao Liu, do you know, that Qin Jiu, what is the use of asking for so much money?" ”

"I asked him about this, but he never answered directly, just said that as long as I gave money, he would give information." Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and replied, "But according to the speculation in my heart, it is estimated that he used the money to buy opium or Hailuoying." Because although he sings well, he always has a sluggish look on his face. When I was with me, I smoked cigarettes one cigarette after another, and I didn't stop at all, and it seemed that I was either physically ailmented or addicted to drugs. Coupled with his thirst for money, I guess he's addicted to drugs. ”

Seeing Lin Jiangbei's eyebrows furrowed, Liu Xuan hurriedly said: "Even if Qin Jiu is really addicted to drugs, he is very different from ordinary addicts. He's a very talented person. In the past, when I traded with him, the information he provided was not written down in advance. ”

"Almost every time, he found a secluded place, found a piece of paper at random, walked like a pen, and with a wave of it, he didn't even need to change a word, and he never read it a second time, and he never missed a word."

"In this way, this Qin Jiu is a genius!" Lin Jiangbei tapped his fingers on the table and said in surprise. There are many people with outstanding memory, and even unforgettable, for example, Lin Jiangbei's own memory can basically be unforgettable, but he can still remember it when he is addicted to drugs, Lin Jiangbei is the first time he has encountered it.

"Who's to say it isn't!" Liu Xuan said, "When I first traded with him, I was also worried that he would use false information to cheat money. But after trading with him a few times, I didn't have to worry at all, and the information he provided was not accurate once. ”

"But there is one thing that is very strange," Liu Xuan said here, paused, and looked at Lin Jiangbei, "Qin Jiu has provided me with information for almost a year, but he has never mentioned the intelligence of the Laura Red Tail Spy Group. I took the opportunity to knock on the side and found out that he really didn't know that there was a Japanese spy group lurking in Los Angeles. ”

"There's nothing strange about this!" Lin Jiangbei interrogated many Japanese spies of the Toyama Commercial Bank such as Jiro Yasuhara, Yozana Oda, Kazuma Akao, and Yonghui Miyado, so he naturally knew the mystery, and he explained to Liu Xuan: "The spy team of Chiwei and Mo is directly under the leadership of the Toyama Commercial House in Hangzhou, and in order to avoid leaking the news, they have not had any contact with the Japanese Consulate in Zhengzhou at all, and Qin Jiu, as the interpreter of the Japanese Consulate in Zhengzhou, does not know that there is such a Japanese spy team lurking in Los Angeles, and it is normal." ”

"If that's the case, it makes sense!" Liu Xuan nodded and said, "Otherwise, with Qin Jiu's desire for money, there is no reason not to take out the news of the spy team in Los Angeles in exchange for money." ”

"However, you and Qin Jiu haven't seen each other for more than four months. More than four months is enough time for a lot of change, especially for addicts with drug addictions. Lin Jiangbei tapped his fingers on the table, "That's it, have you made an appointment with Qin Jiu, how will you meet next time?" ”

"This is an appointment!" Liu Xuan said, "Qin Jiu lives in Zhaofeng Garden near Yuyuan Road, and he dances at the Wheeldon Ballroom that opened next to it every night from nine to ten o'clock. If I want to go to him for something, just go straight to the Wheeldon Ballroom. ”

"So be it!" Lin Jiangbei said, "You should rush to the Wheeldon Ballroom now, find Qin Jiu, and ask him to investigate and see if the wireless transmitter of the Shanghai Special Service Department of the North China Garrison Army has changed to a new radio station or changed the band of the telegram." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Xuan, "What price do you think you need to buy this news?" ”

"Five hundred fiat should be enough!" Liu Xuan thought for a while and said.

"That's good!" Lin Jiangbei immediately took out his wallet, counted five hundred fiat currency and handed it to Liu Xuan, "You can pay two hundred fiat currency as an advance payment at that time." After he gets the accurate information, he will give him the remaining three hundred fiat. ”

"At that time, we only need to send the relevant bands back to the Hangcheng station, and let the Hangcheng radio monitoring station monitor according to the information provided by Qin Jiu, and we can verify whether Qin Jiu is reliable or not!"
