At this time, it was already half past twelve in the morning, and the corridor was even quieter, and there was no one to see.

Lin Jiangbei carried his handbag, unhurriedly walked down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor, and was about to step out of the door, when he suddenly heard a muffled shout from the concierge next to the door: "Stop!" ”

Lin Jiangbei turned his head, only to see a figure walking out of the porter crookedly, it was the gatekeeper Shimada he met when he followed Araki Oi into the apartment before, and before he got close to Lin Jiangbei, a bad smell of alcohol came to his face.

"Yours, what's the job?" Shimada stood in front of Lin Jiangbei, staring at Lin Jiangbei with drunken eyes and asked.

Lin Jiangbei endured the unpleasant smell of wine, but extinguished the intention of killing the janitor Shimada to extinguish his mouth. Since Shimada is already drunk like this, and the lights in the lobby are dim and yellow, even if Shimada wakes up tomorrow, he can't remember his appearance, and it is not only pointless to kill him at this time, but it is also easy to be found by other residents in the apartment building who return late, which is really a bit more than worth the loss.

"I'm a guest of Director Araki Oi." Lin Jiangbei smiled and said to Shimada: "Didn't you see me when you came in with Director Araki before?" ”

Oh, it's dripping, it seems to be such a thing! Araki Oi had come in with a guest.

Shimada stretched out his hand and patted his head, then hurriedly bowed to Lin Jiang's family and said, "Ah, I remembered." You are indeed a guest of Director Araki! Sorry for the delay, please go slowly! ”

Lin Jiangbei nodded at Shimada with a smile, and then walked out of the door of the apartment building with a relaxed pace.

Shimada muttered something when he saw Lin Jiangbei walking out of the gate, and then returned to the goalkeeper's hut, unaware that he had just picked up a life.

Lin Jiangbei walked along the alley to the intersection of Zhapu Road, and saw Liu Xuan carrying a suitcase flashing out of the shadows on the side of the street.

"Stationmaster Lin, everything is going well?" He asked Lin Jiangbei in a low voice.

"Smooth, smooth!" Lin Jiangbei nodded and replied in a low voice.

The two men walked seventy or eighty meters along Zhapu Road before they stopped on the side of the road and waited for a taxi.

A few minutes later, a taxi came from across the street, Liu Xuan reached out and stopped the taxi, and then sat in the taxi with Lin Jiangbei.

"May I ask the two bosses, where are you going?" The taxi driver waited for Lin Jiangbei and Liu Xuan to sit down and asked.

"Shanghai Railway Station!" Lin Jiangbei said with a smile.

Shanghai Railway Station is located at the intersection of Baoshan Road, Tianmu East Road, close to the public concession day management area, and only ten minutes' drive from Zhapu Road. Lin Jiangbei and Liu Xuan rushed to the Shanghai Railway Station at this time, not only to avoid the Japanese marines who were closely deployed along the north bank of the Suzhou Creek, but also to enter the armed forces of the intelligence department more quickly.

There are two main armed forces of the Intelligence Department in Shanghai, one is the reconnaissance brigade of the Songhu Garrison Command, that is, the force under which Chen Zui's action group is subordinate. The security situation around the Shanghai Railway Station is the responsibility of the reconnaissance brigade of the Shanghai Garrison Command. The captain of the reconnaissance brigade, that is, Chen Zui's boss, was Wang Guanghui, the former head of the Shanghai region, so it can be said that this armed force is directly under the control of the intelligence department.

The second armed force of the Intelligence Department in Shanghai is the police force of the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway Police Station. The security of Shanghai Railway Station, including the Shanghai Railway Station Square, is under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway Police Bureau. And Wu Zhimin, director of the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway Police Bureau, is Duan Yinong's descendant.

Therefore, as long as Lin Jiangbei and Liu Xuan can successfully arrive at the Shanghai Railway Station, it is basically equivalent to entering a safety safe. Even if the Japanese agents found out that something was wrong and chased after them, Lin Jiangbei and Liu Xuan were able to retreat with the cover of these two armed forces.

Of course, the more important point is that Lin Jiangbei didn't want to delay the 91-type cipher machine in Shanghai for a quarter of an hour, and wanted Liu Xuan to take the train to transport the 91-type cipher machine back to Hangzhou overnight. In this way, even if the Japanese find out that the 91-style cipher machine is lost and block the entire Shanghai area, it is impossible to recover the 91-style cipher machine.

"I'm still going to the train station so late, the two bosses are going to catch the train?" The taxi driver turned around on the steering wheel and asked Linjiang North Road.

"Yes, we're going to Nanjing at 1:50 a.m." Lin Jiangbei replied with a smile, "Please, driver, you drive a little faster on the road." ”

"Don't worry, there is still plenty of time, and you will never miss the itinerary of the two bosses!" The taxi driver replied, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped off.

It was almost one o'clock in the morning.

At this point in the past, the public concession area is not much more deserted than during the day, but today it may have been affected by the explosion of the Japanese elementary school playground on North Sichuan Road and the transfer of Japanese and American Marine Corps military forces in Shanghai, and the pedestrians and vehicles on the road have significantly decreased. Therefore, the taxi drove much smoother than usual, and in only seven or eight minutes, the taxi drove to the intersection of Beihe South Road and Xinjizi Road.

As long as you cross this intersection, you will leave the territory under the jurisdiction of the Japanese and enter the Zhabei area.

But at this moment, suddenly a flashlight shone through, and then a Japanese Marine officer was seen leading two Marines to stand in the middle of the road, and made a gesture to pull over for inspection at the taxi.

Naturally, the taxi driver did not dare to disobey the orders of the Japanese officer and obediently drove the car to the side of the road.

"The two bosses don't have to worry, it's just a routine check. It's over soon! The driver turned his head and said a word to Lin Jiangbei and Liu Xuan, then pushed the door and got out of the car, standing on the side of the road and waiting for the Japanese officer to come up and check.

"Stationmaster Lin, what should I do?" Liu Xuan sat in the car and asked Lin Jiangbei in a low voice.

"Don't be nervous, let's get out of the car and improvise!" Lin Jiangbei lightly touched Liu Xuan's arm, then pushed the door and got out of the car with Liu Xuan, and stood with the taxi driver.

Soon, the Japanese officer came over with two soldiers.

"What are you doing?" The Japanese officer took a flashlight and took a picture of Lin Jiangbei's three people, and then asked sharply.

"Report to the sir," the taxi driver hurriedly said, "I'm a taxi driver, and I'm going to take these two bosses to the Shanghai Railway Station to catch the train." ”

"Oh?" The Japanese officer nodded, then shone a flashlight on Lin Jiangbei and Liu Xuan, and asked, "You two, what are you doing?" Why go to catch a train so late? ”
