That night on Tuesday, Tang Yin went to the Venus Ballroom alone. She sat in a rickshaw, wrapped herself tightly, and was not dressed like she was on a regular day.

She asked for a cup of black tea and asked for milk and less sugar, and then she saw Lu Man walking towards her with a smile on his face. Tang Yin smiled, and her gaze fell on Lu Man through the crowd.

Lu Man joked about why she was dressed so tightly, even if it was winter, but in the dance hall, it was indeed too restrictive to dress like this. Tang Yin's black tea came, she took a sip and said to her with a smile that she didn't want to dance today.

Lu Man didn't force it, but she asked Tang Yin to at least take off the scarf, otherwise it would be unreasonable. Tang Yin raised his hand and touched the khaki striped scarf and refused.

Lu Man sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything. At this time, Zheng Huo came, he was dressed formally, in a suit and leather shoes. He invited Tang Yin to dance with him, but Tang Yin refused, saying that she would not dance today, but came to dance.

Zheng Huo laughed, and said with some annoyance that he was abrupt. He looked around, and found that Tang Yin was coming alone, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled. He asked Tang Yin about his fiancé, but he was so frightened by Lu Man's eyes that he only said half of the words.

Tang Yin smiled bitterly, he was working with Wen Jie in "No. 76", who knew that he was almost killed by the military commander's hoe team. And this scarf is his, and she wears it as if Lin Hai is still by her side.

Zheng Huo exchanged glances with Lu Man, and Lu Man was busy comforting her, as long as the person was still alive, she would invite him next time. Zheng Huo also echoed. Tang Yin withdrew her lonely expression, but instead raised her cup and drank some black tea, and then she said, Then I will sing a song for everyone today.

Lin Hai has calmed down now, he doesn't smoke, not all the time. During his hospitalization, the spirit came twice, the first time was sent away by Tang Yin, and the second time was to tell him about the hoe team.

The geist walked around the room and felt much more relieved to find that there was no bugging device installed. She sat on the edge of Lin Hai's bed, and Lin Hai listened to her report. She was like a bird in early spring, chattering and chattering, whether useful or useless, she vomited all of them.

even talked about the book "Delusional Talk" she read in the bookstore. The cover of the book, she said, was a cat with a human face. Lin Hai smiled, he was peeling apples, this should have been done by the geist, but he saw that the geist was clumsy, and he was afraid that she would cut his own flesh, so he had to do it himself.

He said, "Is that similar to the Sphinx in India?" The geist denied it, saying that the cat was a flower cat, and she thought it was a Chinese tanuki cat.

When Lin Hai asked her about the contents of the book, the geist couldn't answer. She said that her mind was full of him at the time, how could she have the leisure to read the book, but she only remembered that the author was Lao Xuan, and the writing was in quotation style.

Immediately afterwards, she jumped the topic and said to Lin Hai dissatisfiedly that Tang Wenjie was not only a fool, but also a dumb person. He has too few words, and he's very stupid. Lin Hai listened to her words and remembered Tang Wenjie's disappointed eyes at that time.

He was silent, which made the geist a little worried.

Lin Hai said to her, can you let Wen Jie come here to see me tomorrow?

The geist said yes, and she nodded violently, like a little yellow chicken pecking rice. Lin Hai couldn't help but laugh, which made the wandering soul unhappy for a while.

After the spirit left the ward, Lin Hai remembered what Tang Yin had said to him that day. She said that she would appear at the welcome meeting with Lin Zhou at the beginning, which was requested by Lin Zhou. He knew that it was him who the Japanese wanted, not Lin Hai.

If he surrenders as soon as he is caught, then Lin Hai will definitely die. Including that he has obviously been transferred to Chongqing, or risking his life to apply for transfer to Shanghai to engage in intelligence work, it is also because of Lin Hai.

When Lin Hai heard Tang Yin's words, his heart was heavy. He braced himself in some distress and sat up straight on the bed. At this time, what his father said when he was beating and scolding Lin Zhou suddenly appeared in his ears.

"You have to always straighten your back."

"Otherwise, you'll always be hunched over and be an ant."

Lin Hai didn't sleep well, and the memories of his childhood melted into his dreams, which led him to the end of the road. In his dreams, he was like a swimming fish drowning and dying, how could the fish not be drowned, but he could feel a little loss, lost everything, only the water, the sound of the water gurgling.

He was a swimming fish that was about to drown.

Lin Hai woke up, he turned on the light to check the wound, and took off the gauze, the movement of twisting his body and neck looked extremely funny.

Lin Hai could barely see that the wound looked like a huge hole, and it looked like the center of the target. He thought, the real bull's-eye is in the heart and head, and the marksmanship of the hoe team is really a little poor, and he can hit so far away from less than twenty meters. At the same time, he was glad that the man was not holding a Browning high-powered pistol, otherwise he might not be able to straighten his waist now.

He smiled, he felt that this was a godsend, and he could even use this opportunity to "work" for "No. 76" and Takekiya at the same time. That would allow him to get his damn purge plan quickly.

Lin Hai knew that even if he got the plan, this credit would only fall on Lin Zhou, that is, Zhou Mu. But he didn't care, he felt that he owed Lin Zhou.

On that cold night, he thought of the geist. How should he explain to the spirit that he was not Zhou Mu, but Lin Hai, he was a little embarrassed.

There are many British wharves on the other side of the Huangpu River, as well as a large number of private villas. And Tang Yin's house is in one of them. Most of the villas are in typical English style with private gardens. Some even keep peacocks in captivity in their gardens. The living room of the villa is usually not equipped with a table or chairs, which means that you should do business in a crisp and neat manner, and leave after talking.

Tang Yin's family is different from other businessmen, she specially asked someone to create a living room suitable for long conversations. She said that she is Chinese, everyone who comes is a guest, and in Chinese hospitality, there is no reason to let guests stand.

But in fact, this is what Lin Hai said at the beginning. Lin Hai had promised her that he would let her live in a villa that was better than the original in the future. After Tang Yin returned home alone, she lit a three-cat brand cigarette and sat on the tooth-white sofa in the living room.

Originally, Tang Yin's place of residence was a British colony, and Zhu Muya could not and should not have broken into it. But since the start of the war, not to mention private villas and colonies, even hospitals and churches have been looted from time to time.

At this time, the wandering spirit walked down from the second floor, she sat next to Tang Yin, took out Zhou Mu's photo from her pocket and put it on the table. Tang Yin asked her what was wrong, and she said that she had known that Lin Hai was not Zhou Mu, the gap between the two was too big, and the height was a bit incompatible, and besides, Zhou Mu was not a smoker.

So?

It was not surprising that the geist was able to discover this, in Tang Yin's opinion. After all, the specialty of the geist is her keen observation, and if she can't detect it, Tang Yin will be surprised.

The geist said that she planned to report to the above, saying that Lin Hai and Zhou Mu were not dead, and Lin Hai could be their internal response, and work with Zhou Mu to steal the purge plan and list.

Tang Yin smiled, and she untied the scarf around her neck and put it on the neck of the geist. She said, since you are so observant, why don't you think about how to use it?

Zhou Mu is Lin Hai's elder brother Lin Zhou, and he has been controlled by the Japanese. Now that the Japanese have taken Lin Hai hostage, they will send Zhou Mu back to Chongqing and threaten Zhou Mu with Lin Hai's life, so that he will be forced to do something unfavorable to you. Now that he has crossed the river and is unable to protect himself, what task, it would be good to leave alive.

If he doesn't do it, then he will go to Shanghai for nothing, Lin Hai can't be saved, and he himself will be censored by your people, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The geist was a little puzzled when he heard this. She hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke again, she had already passed the news that Lin Hai was still alive to the hoe team.

Tang Yin stopped talking, she stared at the spirit, but she didn't say a word of reprimand. She's too young to really be here. The wandering soul looked at Tang Yin's expression and hurriedly explained, she said that she didn't say that Zhou Mu and Lin Hai were brothers, and she didn't know about it.

Tang Yin smiled, her smile was a little bitter. She said, tell your people that Zhou Mu plans to return to Chongqing on the day of Xiaohan, and then Lin Hai will take over this task. Within two months, he will solve it, and then leave Shanghai by ship.
