The weather, like the situation, is unpredictable.

Yesterday was still the north wind howling and not very bleak, but today it is sunny and has a bit of a warm spring.

Pu Su didn't sleep well last night.

There was still a noise in the hallway in the middle of the night, and I woke up several times in one night.

After all, Dadong Hotel is only a third-rate hotel, and the reason why he chose this place is just not to attract attention.

After getting up, Pu Su took out a cable tie from the rattan box, fixed his legs on the mattress and did sit-ups. This habit is developed during the Cheka to keep yourself in shape at all times.

The Shanghai underground organization had been severely damaged before, and Tek had long since withdrawn from Shanghai. The superiors have always suspected that there are hidden spies in the underground organization here, but they are extremely hidden.

Pu Su's arrival this time is also responsible for internal screening.

As a result, his infiltration is very secretive.

There was only one traffic officer in the entire Shanghai underground organization who knew that someone was coming from above, and it was the other end of the phone call he made yesterday.

The two sides don't know each other, and the only way to contact them is a few secret words and a number to dial at the agreed time.

Both sides only know each other's code name, Pu Su's code name is: King Kong, and the other party's code name is: Lighthouse.

Of course, they also have some contact details for special cases. Pusu hopes that it is better not to use it. When that method of contact is used, it only means that the situation is extremely critical.

From now on, his new identity and residence can only be arranged by Gu Ji's line.

Gu Ji's previous tasks were extremely good, and even Pu Su felt impeccable after reading his materials. The contact on his side is relatively simple, but at least for now, it is very reliable.

For a long time, Gu Ji had been in direct contact with his superiors, and his liaison had died in action a few years ago. Before leaving Shanghai, he will hand over the underground forces in the concession that he has been operating for many years to Pu Su, including a small military workshop.

After seeing Gu Ji yesterday, he handed him the important documents and codebooks he brought, as well as the key. After arriving in Chongqing, Gu Ji's contact with his superiors could only rely on the book "Theory of Heavenly Evolution".

……

The important things were handed over last night, and Pu Su, who came out of the room at this moment, went downstairs to eat breakfast empty-handed.

He sat in the back of the dining room, grabbed a newspaper from the porter and sat down to read it.

The angle of this seat not only faces the lobby entrance, but everyone can be observed entering and leaving. Behind it is the kitchen where the food is served, and there is a curtain that leads to the kitchen.

This choice is a habit formed by long-term training, a reflex-like behavior.

At the end of the month, Wang's puppet government, with the support of Japan, will formally establish a so-called "national government" in Nanjing. Of course, our party also planned the sabotage and assassination operations in advance, and originally Pu Su led the team and his trainees to form a temporary special force to carry out the mission.

It's just that there has been a change on Gu Ji's side. Pu Su, who had arrived in Chongqing with his team members to prepare for Nanjing, was temporarily transferred to Shanghai to hand over to Gu Ji.

The puppet leader Wang, who had been assassinated by the military commanders of the Nationalist Government many times before, had already been in the news.

At about this time last year, the leaders of the Wang puppet clique were assassinated by the military commanders after publishing the traitorous "Yan Dian." And Wang Weiwei, who has been hiding in Hanoi, Vietnam, is lucky not to die.

At 10 o'clock in the evening of March 20, 1939, at No. 27 Gao Lang Street, Hanoi, Wang Wei's residence, Chen Gongshu, the head of the military command's secret service, sent a killer to infiltrate his residence, came to the bedroom, split the door with an axe, and shot at Wang Weiwei's bed.

The man was indeed killed on the spot!

It's just that it was not the target Wang Wei who died, but his secretary Zeng Luming.

In any case, after being frightened by this, both Wang and the Japanese strengthened their precautions. In particular, the Japanese military has become more aware of the importance of these traitors, and has not only raised the level of internal defense, but also has a very tight perimeter guard.

In a few days, the Einsatzgruppen will be departing. Pu Su sincerely hoped that his team members would be able to successfully complete their mission and retreat smoothly in Nanjing.

Pu Su, who had finished breakfast in the dining room, asked the waiter to remove the utensils and order a cup of low-quality coffee from the hotel. It wasn't until two White Russian men came in the lobby that he put down the newspaper and walked out.

Pu Su is fluent in Russian, even more standard than French pronunciation. After greeting them, I asked them to wait down there and go up to change their clothes.

The person who came was Ren Liansheng's subordinate, and now he was taken to see the apartment.

There were several large and small White Russian gangsters in the French Concession before, and they were all subdued by Gu Ji. Usually Ren Liansheng is managing them.

After going upstairs, he removed the layout and packed up everything, and Pu Su went downstairs with a rattan box. As a transition, this hostel will not come again.

There was a Ford sedan parked outside, and there was a White Russian driver in the car. After they got into the car, the car drove directly in the direction of the bustle.

Over the years, there seems to be little change in the impression of Shanghai, especially the concession. But it seems to have changed a lot, and the taste of losing the country is very heavy.

Even if you are an optimistic and cheerful person, when you see the French patrol and the words on the street, this heaviness is always pressed in your heart.

The car parked on Lafeide Road, a new Shikumen neighborhood. After getting out of the car, the two White Russians accompanied Pu Su into the alley. On both sides of the alley is the fence next to the left and right, which is a shikumen residence in the end.

The strong white Russian man with a scar on his face took out a key and opened the door. As soon as you enter the door, Pu Su sees a long horizontal patio, with left and right wings on both sides, and a guest hall with long windows on the opposite side.

Further inside, the living room is flanked by secondary rooms, and there is a wooden escalator leading to the second floor at the back. Further back is the back patio, which has a single-storey slope annex.

There is only one entrance to the entire house, the front door. The front façade is composed of a patio wall and a wing gable, and the middle is the "Shikumen", which is made of stone as the door frame and matched with black lacquered thick wood doors.

Although this set of shikumen is in the downtown area, it still has a little advantage of high walls and deep courtyards and quiet in the middle of the noise.

And there is also a balcony on the second floor. It's good, but it's obviously not suitable for him to live here. Such a house does not have an aunt and a maid, and it is not good in any case.

Once inside, Scar spoke a word of Russian to him and told him that the central patrol house was not far away. Inspector Ren is inside now, and will come over later.

Yesterday at the clinic he said what he wanted to do. The basic requirement is to be quiet, low-key, and have a way out. And, of course, in line with his new identity that he is about to embark on.

Shikumen seems to occupy a large area, but the inner area is not very large. There were only two rooms upstairs, and Pu Su pushed open the window to look at the sloping roof of the annex downstairs, calculating the distance from the western wall.

The benefits of this house are clear. The only entrance is the straight alley in front of the door. Moreover, the neighbors did not enter the house in the alley, and there were walls on both sides.

Once there is a situation, you can climb from the top of the south slope to the courtyard wall of the west side and climb over the wall. And from the backyard you can jump to the north to escape, the north seems to be Xiangshan Road? Pu Su was a little unsure for a while, but he was sure that he should not be far from Xia Fei Road.

If you don't have a better option, you should spend at least a day studying the surrounding terrain once you decide to stay here.
