On the morning of April 9, 1972, me, Song Xiaobing, Gu Shunmin, and Ma Zhengyi went to work in the office of the Nightingale Group villa office.

Suddenly, I received a mysterious phone call!

The other party said, "Gray Shadow! Listen! You immediately rushed to room 308 of a big hotel! ”

Then, the other party hung up the phone! I realized that the black shadow should be looking for me, and the black shadow is my teacher He Yongnan!

I asked Song Xiaobing to guard the phone at home, and I brought my documents and weapons and drove to the hotel alone.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, I arrived at the hotel and went straight to room 308.

In the living room of room 308, I met Mr. He Yongnan, as well as Zhou Wensheng and Kang Baoguo, and an old man in his fifties in military uniform sat motionless on a chair, staring at me with scrutinizing eyes!

Through Mr. He's introduction, I know that this old man's name is Zhou Xingbang, he is the official of the headquarters, and he is Zhou Wensheng's father!

The five of us sat on the couch over coffee and talked.

Zhou Xingbang said: "Young man, how did you know the code name of the blue cat? ”

I feel that the old man is understanding my relationship with Mr. He, because Mr. He told me that few people in the headquarters know the code name 'Blue Cat', and if I say it directly, it may be unfavorable to Mr. He!

I said, "In the course of the investigation, the merchant accidentally brought it up!" We judge that it may be a code name! ”

Zhou Xingbang said: "I feel very strange! The headquarters sent a lot of people here to investigate the blue cat, but to no avail! How did you children find out the details of the blue cat so quickly? ”

I said, "It's luck!" If you doubt the authenticity of this information! I can hand over all the information to you! You will check and check the authenticity of the information! ”

Teacher He said, "Zilong! That's not what Lao Zhou meant! He was just amazed! Now, Zhou Wensheng and Kang Baoguo will drive with you to the office to get information! Then, wait in the office for the summons! ”

Then, I left the room with Zhou Wensheng and Kang Baoguo and went downstairs.

When I got to the hotel parking lot, I got into my car, they got into another car, and they followed my car!

After we returned to the Nightingale office together, Zhou Wensheng and Kang Baoguo waited in the office living room.

I took out the security box from the floor brick in the basement of the office, and in my safe I took out a large bag containing a complete set of intelligence photographs and a 1948 edition of the Chinese version of the Bible published by a well-known commercial printing house.

I handed over the confidential box and the information bag to Zhou Wensheng.

Zhou Wensheng said: "Zilong! Your mission is accomplished! Let Song Xiaobing, Gu Shunmin and Ma Zhengyi and the other three go to the hotel with us to accept the debriefing first! The rest of your nightingale group, let them go back to the office immediately and wait, they will also wait for the notice to go to the hotel to report to work! ”

Then, Zhou Wensheng and Kang Baoguo drove away with intelligence and Song Xiaobing, Gu Shunmin and Ma Zhengyi!

After they left, I asked Qiao Yan and Li Xia to call Song Zihu, Song Zhehui, Song Guorong, Xia Feiyan, Xue Mei and other five people to return to work immediately!

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, after we had lunch, the five of them returned to the office one after another, and everyone gathered in the living room to chat.

Song Zihu said: "Zilong! What's the matter, so anxious to call us back?! ”

I said, "Someone is here at headquarters!" I'm going to talk to you soon! Prepare the content of your debriefing! ”

Xia Feiyan said: "Alas! This kind of thing, the team leader can report it alone! Isn't it a waste of everyone's time to call them to report one by one?! It's really full! ”

Song Guorong said: "Alas, I feel strange! How can the headquarters pay so much attention to our debriefing?! ”

Xue Mei said: "Alas! I don't think there's anything strange about it! Even the officials don't trust us! They want to make a judgment on the authenticity of our report! ”

Song Zihu smiled and said, "Alas! It's better that way! Anyway, I'm not interested in this kind of sneaky thing! Whoever wants to do the work, let them do it! I hope they disband the Nightingale group, I want to go back to my hometown to farm or do business! Isn't it, Zilong?! ”

I said, "Alas! Prepare your presentation! People may not mean it that way! Farming and doing business isn't necessarily for you, either! ”

Everyone laughed!

Soon, Song Zihu, Song Zhehui, Song Guorong and other three people received a phone call, and they rode their bicycles to the hotel for questioning!

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Song Xiaobing, Gu Shunmin and Ma Zhengyi returned to the office.

I listened to their debriefings in my office.

Ma Zhengyi said: "Team leader! The information we provide has been confirmed to be true and valuable! They used some messages to verify that the book was indeed a codebook for enemy agents! We have reported to them all about our investigation! ”

Song Xiaobing said: "Alas! I was told that I didn't have to participate in the detection and arrest of this spy network, and they told me to be on standby in the office! ”

Gu Shunmin said: "Yes! That's what they told me, what does it mean not to participate in the action?! Did we do something wrong and get fired?! ”

I said, "Maybe they're worried that we've revealed our identities in the process of investigating the enemy network!" Or, they want to make the whole thing a little more secretive! I don't think they'll let me participate in the follow-up either! ”

......

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Feiyan, Xue Mei, Li Xia and Qiao Yan also received a notice and went to the hotel for questioning.

......

At 7 o'clock in the evening, all the members of the Nightingale group were summoned for questioning and returned to the office, and after everyone had a brief dinner, Song Zihu came to me to talk in my office.

Song Zihu said: "Zilong! We are orphans, and we are too ignorant, and others don't trust us! The Nightingale group may be disbanding! I, Song Zhehui, Song Guorong, Ma Zhengyi, Xia Feiyan, Xue Mei, Li Xia and other seven people are going to follow Zhou Wensheng and Kang Baoguo to do it together! You, Song Xiaobing, Gu Shunmin, Qiao Yan and the other four have to wait for the rearrangement of the headquarters, and in the future, you don't have to participate in the actions of the previous Nightingale Group! ”

I said, "It's okay! I hope you will make a great contribution through this operation! When are they going to take over here?! ”

Song Zihu said: "Maybe it will come soon!" They don't want this house, they find their own office location! However, they have to bring the radio, codebooks, weapons and other equipment with them! Zilong! We don't have a backer, remember to do what they want, don't quarrel, don't violate discipline! ”

I said, "Zihu! Thanks for the reminder! I'm not going to argue with them! I don't expect to get anything! I just want to be able to keep living! Do what you want to do later! ”

......

At 12 o'clock in the evening, Zhou Xingbang, He Yongnan, Zhou Wensheng, Kang Baoguo and others drove a jeep and a truck came to our office with more than a dozen plainclothes people!

They imposed total martial law on our office, and Zhou Xingbang and He Yongnan approached me to talk in my office.

Zhou Xingbang smiled and said, "Zilong! You're still a kid, and you have a bright future ahead of you! For the secrecy of the operation! Headquarters took over the case directly! Song Zihu, Song Zhehui, Song Guorong, Ma Zhengyi, Xia Feiyan, Xue Mei, Li Xia and other seven people will go with us immediately! You, Song Xiaobing, Gu Shunmin, and Qiao Yan continue to stay here! However, you can't meddle in the Blue Cat case! ”

He Yongnan said: "Zilong! The headquarters recognizes your work achievements very much! Your credit is on the record! Now, you're graduating early! Soon you will be free people in society! I'll tell you about your work! ”

Zhou Xingbang said: "Okay! Lao He! You're here to talk to Zilong! I'm going to tell my son to carry the goods here! ”

After Zhou Xingbang left, He Yongnan said: "Zilong! I recognize your ability and faithfulness! Today, you didn't betray me! Otherwise, I won't be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River! Now the situation of the struggle is very complicated! A lot of people in your group have a lot to say about you! They reflect that you only care about doing business and making money! I never care about the specific work in the group! The clues of the blue cat were discovered first! ”

I said, "Teacher He! Never mind! I feel like it's going to turn out well! In the future, will I still be from the headquarters? ”

He Yongnan said: "Nominally, no! Song Xiaobing, Gu Shunmin and Qiao Yan are not the other three either! But, secretly, still! In the future, the four of you will take you as the leader and be directly led by me! You now, you remember a person, a name, and an address! When this operation is over, you go to him and he will tell you what to do! Your joint code is, you ask, Boss Liu! Where is mackerel sold? He replied that mackerel had not been sold here for a long time! If you're going to buy it, come back in a few days! Remember? ”

I said, "Teacher He! I remembered! ”

Then, He Yongnan took out a photo and a note from the inner pocket of his clothes and showed it to me, so that I could remember this person! This person's name is Liu Fengqing, a middle-aged man in his forties, and his address is a tobacco and alcohol grocery store somewhere in an overseas port city!

After I remembered it, He Yongnan took back the photo and burned the note!

I said, "Teacher He! When am I going to find this person? ”

He Yongnan said: "Our action may continue until June and July this year! After that, you're going to find him! Alright, it's time for me to go! In the future, don't be nosy, take care! ”

I handed over the 10,000 yuan in cash I had prepared in advance to He Yongnan, but he resolutely refused to accept it!

He Yongnan said: "Zilong! I know you're making money! But I can't ask for your money! From now on, the headquarters will not provide you with funds! Use this money to develop yourself! In the future, you have too many places to spend your money! The money I give you is a personal feeling! You know? ”

I said, "No! Mr. He! I can't owe you such a favor! Just take it! You still have a lot of students! You use the money to fund them! They need money more than we do! Mr. He, now, I am not short of money! ”

He Yongnan said: "Zilong! Good! I helped your junior brothers and sisters accept this money! ”

Teacher He shed tears and collected the money I gave him, and after I shook hands with Teacher He and said goodbye, we wiped away our tears and walked out of the office!

When we came to the living room of the villa, Song Zihu, Song Zhehui, Song Guorong, Ma Zhengyi, Xia Feiyan, Xue Mei, Li Xia and other seven people had already picked up their belongings and luggage.

, Zhou Wensheng, Kang Baoguo and others led the plainclothes people to carry the office's radio station, darkroom equipment, as well as the weapons and ammunition of the retreating seven people, agent tools and other original headquarters equipment materials onto the truck!

They left behind four people's equipment and four bicycles for us, and they didn't touch our personal belongings.

After I said goodbye to them, they all got into trucks or jeeps, and they drove away in the dark of night!

......

After sending them away, me, Song Xiaobing, Gu Shunmin, and Qiao Yan and other four people drank tea and talked in the living room of the office.

Qiao Yan burst into tears and said, "Zilong! Today, after they talked to me, I felt that something was wrong! On the way home, I took out all the more than 6,000 yuan in cash from the office passbook and collected it! Just now, Zhou Wensheng asked me for a code book and a bank passbook, and I gave it to him! He called to check the bank account and found that there was no money in the passbook, and this brute slapped me! ”

Gu Shunmin said with tears in his eyes: "Alas! It's bullying a few of our orphans! Now, they don't want us, what about the rest of their lives? ”

Song Xiaobing said: "Alas! Afraid of what?! We have hands and feet, and we have physical skills, so why can't we feed ourselves! Plus Lone Dragon is a business genius! The lone dragon is our leader! You're going to watch us go hungry! ”

I said, "Well said the creep! Don't worry! During this time, I made millions in business! We're not short of money! From now on, you will be my brothers and sisters, and you will be a family! Let's share the blessings and misfortunes! Let the past pass! We should be happy that we are free now! ”

Everyone laughed happily when I said this!

Qiao Yan wiped her tears and said, "Zilong! This house is huge! Rent and fees are high! Shall we return it and live in a small house! That's a lot of savings for a year! ”

I said, "Okay! Tomorrow you can tell the landlord to come and talk! Then, let's go out together to find a new house! It's not too early! Let's wash up and rest! ”

......

On the morning of April 10, after breakfast, everyone tidied up the room and cleaned the indoor and outdoor hygiene, and then, Qiao Yan called the landlord to come and talk about things.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the landlord came to the office, the landlord was an old lady in her fifties, we all called her Aunt Xie, and everyone sat on the sofa in the living room and talked.

Qiao Yan told Aunt Xie the reason and request for us to check out.

Aunt Xie smiled and said, "Qiao Yan! At that time, I saw that you were students, so I rented this set to you! As stipulated in the lease contract! If you check out halfway, I won't refund the rent and deposit to you! Actually, this house was left to me by my father! If you want to buy this house, I can sell it to you cheaply! ”

I said, "Aunt Xie! How much are you going to sell for this house? ”

Aunt Xie said, "This house is a Western-style villa! The building area of the house is more than 500 square meters! The front and rear yards and the bottom of the house add up to an area of 2,500 square meters! You all know the situation of other facilities! If you can pay a one-time rent for 50 years! Twenty-five thousand dollars! I'll sell it to you! ”

I said, "Aunt Xie! Is it easy to buy and sell houses and land now? ”

Aunt Xie said, "There is no problem with this! You just need to have a local household registration certificate! When trading, we go to the nearby housing management office to sign the "Housing Sales Contract" and pay the money to transfer the property! ”

I said, "Aunt Xie! I am eligible to buy a house! I would like to buy this house! Can I go to the housing management office today? ”

Aunt Xie smiled and said, "Okay! Let's go to the housing management office at 2 p.m.! I'm going home now, ready with documents like the title deed and title deed for this house! Let me tell you the address of the housing authority! Wait for me there! I'll pay the transaction fee! However, I will not refund you the other rental fees! ”

I said, "Okay! That's it! See you in the afternoon! ”

After Aunt Xie wrote Qiao Yan an address, she left happily!

After we saw Aunt Xie off, we went back to the living room to talk about buying a house and our future plans.

Qiao Yan said: "Alas! Zilong! You agreed to her without bargaining! In the future, the living expenses of this house and the living expenses of the four of us will cost more than 100 yuan per month! Now we only have more than six thousand dollars left! What will I do with the expenses in the future? ”

I said, "Qiao Yan! You don't have to worry about this! I can afford to pay for them! After a while, let's start going out and looking for business! In the future, the business makes money, and everyone can buy a house and start a family! ”

Song Xiaobing smiled and said, "Qiao Yan, Brother Shunmin!" You can rest assured of this! Zilong has always done what he said! Among our classmates, only Lone Long can be relied on! In the future, let's listen to Lone Dragon! ”

Gu Shunmin smiled and said, "Yes! In the school exam, if Zilong didn't give us the answer, it would be impossible to get credits! This graduation internship is also Zilong's guidance and arrangement, so that the four of us can graduate early! From now on, we'll be on our own! It's not my dream to eat imperial food! ”

Everyone laughed!

After lunch, the four of us drove to the bank to withdraw the money, and then went directly to the housing management office designated by Aunt Xie.

After we arrived at the housing management office, soon after, Aunt Xie came to the housing management office with the title deed, real estate certificate and other documents of the house.

After the four of us checked these documents, I signed the "House Sale and Purchase Contract" with Aunt Xie, and after I gave Aunt Xie 25,000 yuan for the purchase of the house through the transaction counter of the housing management office, Aunt Xie paid 120 yuan in transaction tax.

Soon, I got the new title deed and title deed of this house, and the owner of the house was Mai Zilong.

Aunt Xie got 25,000 yuan for the house!

Aunt Xie said very happily: "Zilong! You're so happy! The villas near your house are my acquaintances! They want to sell the house too! If you still want to buy it, call me! ”

I said, "Thank you so much, Auntie!" In the future, if someone wants to sell the house, we will definitely notify you first! ”

After handling the matter, Aunt Xie rode away on a bicycle, and the four of us drove home with the house certificate such as the title deed and the real estate certificate!

On the way home, Qiao Yan proposed to buy some food and drinks to celebrate our graduation and buy a house.

We were at home near the farmer's market and bought a lot of food to get home!
