"The clothes are very well drawn, and the proportions of the body are very precise, which is really good, but you look closely at his facial expression," Professor Pu cautiously retorted. After being released from prison, he no longer argues with others, always carefully hiding different opinions in his heart, and that's it. In the past, when he was arguing with others, he was always red-faced, and he must refute the opponent. Now he is just cautiously presenting an argument against the rebuttal: "Is there any idea in this portrait of Aurello?" He can't express any thoughts, just for himself

It's just a monument to the tree of one's own success. If you look closely at the art of France at the end of the eighteenth century, you will believe that Greece has moved to Paris, and the great Erados has gone to free thought.

Once, Professor Pu asked Li Guangyuan to stop and look at a colorful mural of "man and beast" with a human head and a wild boar.

Professor Pu asked, "What do you think of this painting?" ”

Li Guangyuan thought to himself: "Much like the Japanese today, they have completely become a bunch of stupid, barbaric, and at the mercy of others." He did not reply to Professor Pu's question, but perfunctory words such as "um", "really", and "oops" that he called "social" sound. When it is difficult to keep silent, and it is impossible to answer directly, he often uses this method.

As Li Guangyuan walked through the empty exhibition hall of "Belgamon", he often asked himself: "Why do the people who created these great works of art treat their genius so savagely?" Why would anyone destroy, burn, or smash a sculpture? Why are they so ruthless to their genius sculptors, painters? Why can we only collect the remaining scales and half-claws, and can only use these incomplete things to educate our descendants on beauty? Why did the ancients so irrationally give their living gods to the barbarians as sacrifices? ”

Li Guangyuan drank the glass of grog wine and lit the extinguished cigarette again: "Why do I remember Professor Pu endlessly? Is it just because I need his brother so badly now? Or am I thinking of proposing a new contact option for myself? ”

He smiled wryly, "I see, I also played tricks with myself, 'Who did he fight with?'" And himself, and himself' This seems to be Pastner's verse? ”

"Come here, man" he called out to the tavern guy "I'm leaving, settle the score"

No one knows about this person. He rarely appears on the footage of newsreels, and even fewer photos of him standing next to Wang Weiwei. He was not tall, with a round head and a scar on his cheek, and he always tried to hide behind the people next to him when photographers pressed the camera shutter.

He is said to have spent 14 months in prison for murder in 1924. No one knew his situation until he fled to England. At that time, Zhan Guoqiang was ordered by the president to rectify this "rotten kiln" (this is how the president commented on the party affairs office, when Mei Sipin was the chief of staff, and he was the only party member who called him by his name and used the title "you"). Overnight, Zhan Guoqiang arrested more than 700 people, and all those close to him were arrested, but Chang Kaishen, the first deputy director of the Party Affairs Office, was unharmed. And to a certain extent, he instead commanded Zhan Guoqiang, he saved the people he needed, and sent those he didn't need to prison.

After taking over his position, Chang Kaishen did not change at all, he was still silent, he always carried a small notebook in his pocket, and he wrote down everything Wang Wei said; Life is also the same as always, very simple. To Ding Mocun, Li Shiqun and Zhan Guoqiang, he deliberately made a respectful appearance, but in about two years, he gradually became an inseparable figure for Wang Wei, and even Wang Wei often joked that he was his shadow. He is extremely capable of doing things, sometimes when Wang Wei sits down for lunch, he suddenly wants to know something, and when the hot dish is served, Chang Kaishen's answer is ready. Once, a ceremony to welcome Wang Wei was held in Yunnan, which unexpectedly turned into a grand procession. Chang Kaishen saw Wang Wei standing in a place exposed to the sun. On the second day, Wang Wei saw that there was an oak tree where he was standing just yesterday, and Chang Kaishen was able to organize people to move such a big tree overnight

Chang Kaishen knew that Wang had never prepared speeches in advance, that he had always relied on impromptu speeches, and that he had usually done so successfully. However, Chang Kaishen never forgot to write a brief outline for Chairman Wang, listing some issues that he thought should pay special attention, especially when Wang Wei was about to meet with some foreign leaders. He did this unnoticed but very important work in a measured manner, so Wang Wei never thought that some programmatic speeches were actually written by others for him. He believes that although Chang Kaishen's work is secretarial work, it is a very necessary and timely work. Therefore, once Chang Kaishen fell ill, Wang Wei felt that everything was not going well.

Sometimes, some military generals or Minister of Military Industry Song Dawen called to report, and in the report they sorted out some real situations for the government to study, and often Kaishen either shelved the report as much as possible and did not submit it to the top, or he talked to Kong Xiangxi or Chen Guofu and kindly persuaded them to ease up some facts.

"Let's all take care of his nerves," he said, "and we can and should know about these unpleasant things, but why should Mr. Wang be mentally stimulated? ”

He is clumsy in words, but he is good at official documents; He was very intelligent, but he pretended to be a little rude and loyal; He is powerful and omnipotent, but he speaks and behaves like an ordinary mortal who must "consult with others" before making a slightly more important decision.

While reading the secret letter, Chang Kaishen saw a letter from the security department of the guard with the words "Top Secret, personally opened", which was specially presented to him.

Here's what the letter says:

Comrade Chang Kaishen, as far as I know, some people have begun to hook up with representatives of decadent Western democracies in Chongqing and Shanghai behind Mr. Wang's back. In times of total war, when the future of the world is being decided on the battlefield, they do such a thing. As an officer in the Guards Security Service, I can provide you with details of these negotiations. I need to be safeguarded for my life, because if this letter falls into the hands of the security department, I will die immediately. Because of this, I didn't sign it. If you think that the situation I have reported to you is important, then please meet you in front of the "New Gate" Hotel tomorrow at 13 o'clock.

A member of the Ultimate Guard, loyal to the party-state

Chang Kaishen held the letter in his hand and sat for a long time. He wanted to make a call to the spy leader, Ding Mocun. He knew that Ding Mocun was grateful to him. Ding Momura was a spy who attacked the Communist Party organization twice in the early thirties. Later, when the Kuomintang came to power, he turned around and joined the Kuomintang. Until 1939, the head of the secret service was a non-party person, because he had worked hard for the enemy during the Northern Expedition, and his colleagues in the security department would not forgive him in any way. It was Chang Kaishen who personally assured Mr. Wang that he helped him join the party. However, Chang Kaishen never allowed Dingmo Village to get too close to him, he was carefully observing and understanding Dingmo Village. Carefully evaluate the possibility of approaching him, of course, if you want to get close, then you have to be intimate and talk about everything, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses.

"What's going on?" Chang Kaishen read and read the letter, but he was still puzzled.

"Is it to sow discord? I don't think so. Was it written by a neurological patient? Neither is it. It's like if the letter was written by someone from the Secret Service, and Dingmomura was also involved in these collusions? Everything is possible, but no matter what, at least this is a card that can be used to win against Zhan Guoqiang. Then I will have no need to look at the face of this scoundrel anymore, and I will be confident and bold enough to deposit all the party's funds in the name of my people, and not in the name of his own, in the Bank of the Neutral Nations."

Chang Kaishen studied this letter for a long time, but in the end he still had no clear decision on what to do.

Wu Sibao turned on the recorder. He smoked his cigarette unhurriedly and listened carefully to Li Guangyuan's somewhat dull voice.

"Excuse me, do you feel terrible that you have been in our prison for two months?"

"I've been terrible for 11 years since you came to power"

"It's demagoguery again. I ask you if you were scared during that time in our cell, in prison? ”

"Of course"

"Of course. Suppose a miracle happens and we let you out, would you still like to come back here? ”

"Nope. I don't want to associate with you at all."

"Yay. However, if I ask for a good relationship, I hope we will maintain a good relationship. A relationship with a pure person, as a condition for your release, what will happen to you? ”

"Talking to you about a good relationship with a pure human being, it is just a natural reflection of my treatment of people. If you treat me entirely as an ordinary person, and not as a functionary of the state, then I treat you entirely as a human being; Otherwise, if you can do a few points, my attitude will change a little bit."

"I will associate with you as your savior"

"Do you want to help me, do you want to do it out of your heart, or do you have any intentions?"

"I have a plan for you"

"If that's the case, then I must know that your purpose is good."

"You can believe that my purpose could not be more upright"

"What do you want me to do?"

"I have some friends, there are scientists, party functionaries, military personnel, journalists. In short, they are all characters. I would like to ask you to talk to these people, of course, until I can persuade the leaders to release you. I am not asking you to report to me the circumstances of these conversations. I can't really guarantee that no one has a bugging device in the next room, but you can go out into the woods and talk. In the future, I just want to ask you to talk about your opinion of these people, and how good and how evil they are. Can you help with this? ”

"Even if you can, but I have a lot of questions, why would you make such a suggestion to me?"

"Then you can ask"

"Have you trusted me too much, so leave it to me what no one asks for, and let me help you do it; Maybe you're instigating me, and if you're really instigating, then our conversation goes back to where it was."

"What do you mean?"

"That is, we can't find a common language again. You are still a party functionary, and I am still an ordinary person who would rather follow the path of my own ability than be a staff member of any organization."

"How can I convince you that I'm not trying to provoke you?"

"Look into my eyes"

"Okay, then I can be regarded as exchanging credentials with you."

After listening to the recording, Wu Sibao instructed: "Please check for me the materials about the teacher's performance in prison." The more detailed the whole material, including his own behavior, words and deeds, contacts with other prisoners, conversations, etc., the better."

An hour later, the materials he asked for were ready, but he was taken by surprise by what was said. It turned out that in January 1935, the teacher was released from prison. It is not clear from the case file whether he was released because he agreed to work for the Guards Security Service or for some other reason. In the case file, there is only a letter signed by Ding Oh Village that the teacher will be supervised by Li Guangyuan after he is released from prison. That's all.

Half an hour later, another document arrived: after the teacher was released, the agent of the Sixth Division, Li Koqi, worked with him.

"Where's this person's material?" Wu Sibao asked.

"He and Wing Captain Li Guangyuan have a one-line contact"

"Why, don't you even have a written record?"

"No," replied the person in the data card library, "so there was no record in order to benefit the operation"

So Wu Sibao ordered: "Get this spy for me." Be careful, don't let anyone know about this except you, me, and him."

Li Guangyuan was very confident about this meeting with Chang Kaishen, because the bait on the fishing hook was too fragrant. He drove the car slowly, going around several streets, repeatedly checking whether anyone was following him, just in case, this check had become his unconscious action; Lately he has not been frightened by anything, and he is no longer awakened in the middle of the night as often as he used to, and his whole body and mind are in a state of panic.

At that time, he often turned off the light, lay in bed with his eyes open, carefully analyzed his actions at every moment, and analyzed every word spoken by others when they talked. Even if the other party is a milk seller, or a newspaper seller, and a fellow car person you meet by chance. Li Guangyuan always tries to ride in his own car to avoid accidental contact with people. However, he thinks that it is not wise to isolate himself completely from the world, because any task can be received. When the time comes, once there is a sudden and obvious change in his behavior, it will be easy to arouse the vigilance of the people who are monitoring him, and Li Guangyuan knows very well that everyone here is being monitored now.
