047 Confession
According to Chu Mingyi's confession, the routine used by Xu Changshan to take him to the base area is similar to that used by Pu Su to mix into the military system.
On the grounds that his younger brother had always hated the rotten Nationalist government, believed in communism, and was good at propaganda and publishing paintings, he was absorbed into the base area, and then he hibernated and successfully passed the organizational inspection.
But the trouble is that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders frantically launched a sweep and invaded our central Soviet Union and the northern border areas of Jiangsu. Chu Mingyi's cheap brother, Xu Changshan, was hit in the head by a stray bullet from the Japanese during a rotation in the border area, and died on the spot.
As a result, this valuable clue has lost its meaning to Pu Su and them. Originally, if this news was transmitted to the base area, he should be isolated and interrogated, and a lot of valuable information should be obtained.
In this way, Chu Mingyi, who originally covered each other in the base area and Xu Changshan's two-front operation, has since become the martyr's younger brother. From the original propagandist to the grassroots cadres responsible for mobilization in the border areas.
Later, because the Nationalist army was losing ground against the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield, his contact with the military commander was also interrupted for a period of time.
After resuming contact, the liaison ignored Chu Mingyi's repeated requests to return to Nanjing, and ordered him to continue to lurk. Chu Mingyi said that he had already made up his mind before coming to Shanghai this time.
If you can make it to Shanghai alive, you will never return to your base again.
He was ready to complete the task and hand over the connector "King Kong" to the liaison, and then go to Chongqing to return to the military command no matter what.
So far, Chu Mingyi seems to be very straightforward, and he doesn't seem to hide it.
But the inner promise he confessed was already a dead man. And another important liaison person for military command is only passing by...... It shows that he still retains a lot.
"Mingyi, who is your contact? How do you usually get in touch? ”
Gu Ji lit a cigarette for himself and asked.
"This, I don't know who it is. As for the contact information, it has not been fixed. You don't know what the situation is in the base over there, it's not a human life, and in the past few years, you can occasionally eat a bite of white noodles for the New Year......"
Chu Mingyi is going to repeat his old tricks again, and he is ready to talk about him left and right.
Gu Ji didn't interrupt him either. After listening for a while, he knocked on the door from the inside and told the guards to let Lao Ren come over.
Chu Mingyi was enjoying what he said, and when he heard that Gu Ji was going to let Lao Ren in, his body suddenly froze.
Gu Ji didn't look at him either, lowered his head and looked at the record on the table and said, "Mingyi, you also know that I don't have much time. Let's do it, let the old Ren just come in and take over, it's all the same anyway, he is more experienced, I'll say hello to him later......"
"Director Gu, Director Gu, I was thinking about the phone number just now, and my brain was a little messed up by that radio from yesterday to now......"
Chu Mingyi immediately took over and said that he had objective reasons...... Stimulated by sound waves.
"I didn't explain who the contact person over there was. You also know that the bureau doesn't let us inquire casually. I don't usually have a chance to send a report over there, but since Lao Xu sacrificed, I always look for an opportunity to call if there is an emergency, and there is a number over there......"
Then Chu Mingyi reported a phone number, and Gu Ji remembered it on the paper and confirmed it again with him.
"Is there a phone call from the Communist Party? You just said you couldn't fill your stomach over there. ”
"No, no, no, Director Gu, you don't know. In the past, it was that Lao Xu who sent the news out, and I don't know how he sent it out. After his death, I could only take a publicity opportunity to go to the town, find a phone number and contact an emergency contact, and ask to leave there and return to Chongqing. ”
"It's just that the contact person said that I haven't been activated, and I don't usually have a mission, so let me continue to lurk."
"So, what's the code word when you call them?"
"Well, it's a bit complicated, I'll write it down."
Seeing that Chu Mingyi was still familiar with each other when he came to the table, Gu Ji knocked on the door and asked the guard outside to send a chair for him to sit and write.
After he finished writing and handed over the paper, Gu Ji glanced at it and handed him a cigarette. At this time, the atmosphere between the two eased a lot, and then they talked a lot about old people and old things.
Soon, in Chu Mingyi's temptation, Gu Ji simply said that he was dragged into the water by Wang Mutian, the head of the Shanghai Intelligence Station, who had betrayed him.
A military commander like Wang Mutian, Chu Mingyi naturally knows it. It's just that his expression was greatly surprised, and he didn't expect that even a Kuomintang cadre of this level would fall into the water and become a traitor.
Then, in Chu Mingyi's opinion, Gu Ji seemed to be persuading him to surrender. expressed in a tone full of demagogy that since he defected to the side of the puppet government, he found that he had more room to exert his strength than when he was in the military command......
His remarks made Chu Mingyi forget that he had suffered so much here, and he hated to bow down and immediately surrender.
It's just that Gu Ji only said it to himself, but he never mentioned this stubble, and he was embarrassed to take the initiative to express it regardless of his reserve.
At this time, he only waited for Gu Ji to take the initiative to speak, and then pretended to listen to the conditions, hesitated for a while and then agreed.
The two chatted in a circle, and Gu Ji asked him seemingly casually about the situation of taking over the task in the border area this time.
Then he learned from Chu Mingyi's confession that this mission was not from his premeditation, and he himself was extremely reluctant when he received this mission, thinking that it was a suicidal mission.
Taking the radio from the border area to Shanghai was basically an impossible task in his opinion.
It's just that after being notified, he and Li Wenjuan immediately disguised their identities under supervision, and then picked up the flat pole containing radio parts and was escorted out of the border area with Li Wenjuan.
It wasn't until the two arrived in Wuhu that he found an opportunity to inform the contact person. Originally, he wanted the military commander to sabotage this mission and let him retreat safely.
Unexpectedly, after listening to the report, he asked him to go about everything as usual, and after issuing the instructions to contact him after arriving in Shanghai and connecting with the "King Kong", there was no follow-up.
Speaking of this, Chu Mingyi was very indignant and felt that he had been pitted by the contact. said that he was fateful, and he escaped death several times along the way. Looking at his gritted teeth, if the liaison stood in front of him at this time, he would want to strangle him with his bare hands.
"Who is that King Kong who is connected to you?" Gu Ji asked casually.
"Hey, Director Gu, you have mastered my whereabouts and the connector code, don't you know who he is?"
"I thought it was in your hands that he ...... us"
Chu Mingyi had some doubts at this time.
"He was sent to Hongkou yesterday, and he was next door to you."
"But we still have to verify his confession. If he hides something from us and goes to the Japanese and is asked by them, we will be passive! ”
Gu Ji tapped his fingers on the table, looking helpless.
Chu Mingyi saw it in his eyes, thinking that being a traitor is not this virtue.
It's just that he didn't have much review of his decision to join No. 76. It seems that subconsciously his performance of pouring beans from the bamboo tube at the moment is just an expedient measure, all to save his life.
"That King Kong is very mysterious, it doesn't seem to have come from our border. It is said that he is very powerful, and he is good at shooting mosquitoes with both hands, and he is also good at makeup and disguise, and he will become an old man for a while, and an old lady for a while......"
Outside the door, Pu Su didn't know what he was thinking when he heard this.
"This time, I mainly cover the bandit woman to cooperate with him to contact. You should have found the codebook, right? That girl is the newspaper operator. I kept it close to me, and I didn't even let me see it......"
Chu Mingyi was very dog-legged at this time. I just want to strive for a good attitude, and when I will recruit myself, I can have a good treatment.
