On Wulinmen Straight Street, a young vendor wearing a patched short cotton jacket held a wooden box with a few pastries left in both hands, and shouted loudly while walking: "Square cakes, strip cakes, crystal cakes, and fruit cakes are sold"

He is the informant of Hangcheng Station, Wang Xiaoli, codenamed Sunflower.

"Yo, little calf, the snacks haven't been sold out yet?" An old man who was sitting on the side of the road repairing shoes heard the shouting, raised his head and shouted at Wang Xiaoli.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang!" Wang Xiaoli said with a smile, "There are still a few pieces of crystal cake and strip cake left, do you want to come and taste two pieces, count it cheaper for you, three cents and two pieces." ”

"Forget it!" Uncle Zhang waved his hand, "Three cents are enough for me to buy half a catty of rice." ”

"Rice? Can rice be as delicious as crystal cake and strip cake? Wang Xiaoli shook his head, straightened the wooden box strap around his neck with his hand, and continued to shout: "Fruit cakes, crystal cakes, strip cakes, and square cakes are sold!" ”

While shouting, Wang Xiaoli slowly continued to walk along the straight street. When he was about to arrive at the location of Ximaqiao, the door curtain of a Chinese medicine shop next to him was lifted from the inside, and a young man poked his head out of the curtain and shouted at Wang Xiaoli: "Our shopkeeper wants to buy snacks, come in!" ”

"Good, good!" Wang Xiaoli showed a look of surprise on his face, and ran in quickly with the wooden box in both hands.

In the pharmacy, in addition to the young man who called Wang Xiaoli just now, there is also a shopkeeper in his forties with glasses. When he saw Wang Xiaocalf coming in, he asked with a smile, "What other pastries?" ”

"Shopkeeper Li, the square cake and the hundred fruit cake are all sold out," Wang Xiaoli said, "There are only three crystal cakes and two strip cakes left." ”

"I'm going to do it all!" Shopkeeper Li stood up and said to Wang Xiaoli, "Send me all to the inner room!" ”

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Li walked inside with his hands behind his back.

"Great!" Wang Xiaoli followed in with the wooden box.

After arriving in the inner room, his attitude became serious, "Comrade Pastry, do you have any emergency to report?" ”

Li's real name is Ren Xiangdong, and he is a member of the underground party in Hangzhou, and his main task is to find a way to raise medicines for the organization. And Wang Xiaoli is his direct offline, codenamed pastry.

At the beginning, Ren Xiangdong took great pains to arrange Wang Xiaoli to be a soldier next to He Yun, the director of the provincial capital police department, in order to use He Yun's identity as the director of the provincial capital police department to open up the police inspection checkpoints on land and water in Zhejiang, so as to ensure that the medicines he raised for the organization could be sent out smoothly.

Unexpectedly, although Wang Xiaoli passed He Yun's inspection and was selected to serve as He Yun's orderly, He Yun was transferred to Nanjing by a phone call to become the chief of guard of Principal Chang.

originally thought that Wang Xiaoli's mission would fail, but it turned around again, and the new police chief Zhou Fengshan actually asked him to infiltrate the Japanese concession to act as an informant at the Hangcheng Station of the Intelligence Department.

Ren Xiangdong felt that this was also an opportunity to save the country, as long as Wang Xiaoli performed well enough in the Japanese concession, he could attract Zhou Fengshan's attention, and then he might be transferred back to the police station, and then Wang Xiaoli would find a way to find a suitable target in the police station, and open up the drug transportation line of the underground organization through bribery and bribery.

But he didn't expect that Wang Xiaoli had been lurking in the Japanese concession for two years, and although he had sent back many useful information to that side in the middle, he had no intention of transferring Wang Xiaoli back to Hangcheng Station or back to the police station, which made Wang Xiaoli extremely depressed.

Fortunately, during this period, Ren Xiangdong found a relationship and dredged the First Marine Police Brigade responsible for the management of inland river transportation, so that the medicines he raised could be transported back to the organization through inland waterway transportation, so the requirements for Wang Xiaoli's side were not so urgent.

But even so, Ren Xiangdong still asked Wang Xiaoli to continue to lurk in the Japanese concession according to the orders of that side and perform surveillance tasks for that side. He believes that as long as he insists on this line, Wang Xiaoli will always have the opportunity to be transferred back to Hangcheng Station or the provincial capital police station, and then there will be another backup line for the underground organization of medicine transportation.

According to the agreement between Ren Xiangdong and Wang Xiaoli, if Wang Xiaoli passes by the Chinese medicine shop every time, the order of selling is "square cake, tiaotou cake, crystal cake, and hundred fruit cake", it means that there is nothing to do.

If the order of selling is reversed and becomes "Hundred Fruit Cake, Crystal Cake, Tiaotou Cake, and Square Cake", it means that Wang Xiaoli has an emergency to report. Ren Xiangdong just listened to Wang Xiaoli's shouting just now and asked the young man to call Wang Xiaoli in.

"Shopkeeper Li, when I was on the orders of the other side, I was monitoring the chefs of the Toyama Trading House, and I noticed an unusual phenomenon. The chef, who had never only bought Japanese cigarettes, went against the grain and bought five packs of Daimaimon cigarettes. ”

"I think there must be something famous in this. So after reporting to the traffic officer over there, he rushed over there to report to you. ”

Wang Xiaoli told the reason for his application for emergency contact.

"Comrade pastry, well done." Ren Xiangdong pondered for a moment and said, "But based on this information alone, it's not easy to judge what happened to the Toyama Trading Bank." You continue to intensify your surveillance of the Toyama Trading House while you see what kind of reaction there will be. If there is anything new, remember to report it immediately! ”

"Yes, Shopkeeper Li, I understand!" Wang Xiaoli wrapped a few pastries in the wooden box in paper and handed them to the shopkeeper Li, then closed the empty wooden box, sandwiched it under his armpit, and walked out.

Seeing that the time was almost noon, he was about to go home for dinner, but saw his fifteen-year-old brother Wang Xiaogang running over with a cloth bag selling newspapers.

"Brother, brother!" Wang Xiaogang ran to Wang Xiaoli's side, "Just now, the second dog came to me and said that he would introduce a newsboy to come over and sell the newspaper here, do you say I agree or not?" ”

"Newsboy? How old is that kid? What is the relationship with Ergouzi? Wang Xiaoli asked.

"That child's name is Zhao Xiaolong, he is twelve years old this year, and he has a six-year-old blind brother named Zhao Xiaohu." Wang Xiaogang said, "Both of their parents died, and only two brothers depended on each other. I heard from Ergouzi that they helped Ergouzi fight over there in Sanyuanfang, so the relationship is very good! ”

"That's good, why do you want to come here to sell newspapers?" Wang Xiaoli asked again.

"I said that there are too many newsboys over there, and the newspaper is not easy to sell, so I want to try my luck here!" Wang Xiaogang said.

"Okay!" Wang Xiaoli nodded, "You just let him come over!" ”
