After dinner, Feng Chen took Zhang Manhong back to the editorial office of "Current Affairs Weekly" magazine on Aidoya Road, and Fang Xiaoman happened to be on duty in the editorial department.

"Xiaoman, come here, Tie Min, you ask Miss Zhang to drink tea in the editorial office next to you and wait for a while." Feng Chen stood at the door of the editor, glanced at Fang Xiaoman, who was standing inside, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Team leader, ...... woman?" Coming to Feng Chen's office, Fang Xiaoman pointed to the editorial office next door and asked.

"This is what Wang Tianmu begged me to help, the woman just now is called Zhang Manhong, she is a singer in the Paramount Ballroom, she was kidnapped by three Japanese ronins this morning, it happened that I knew the three Japanese ronins, and I spent a thousand oceans to redeem this woman."

Feng Chen simply told Fang Xiaoman what had happened.

"It seems that the rumors are true, Wang Tianmu is really fooling around with a singer, isn't he afraid that Chief Dai will hold him accountable for violating discipline?" Fang Xiaoman had also heard about Wang Tianmu fooling around with the singer before.

"Within our Military Command Bureau, when did someone really be punished because of the matter between men and women?! Unless it's someone who has two hearts for Chief Dai. Feng Chen looked at Fang Xiaoman and said.

"That's true." Fang Xiaoman had to admit it.

"Xiaoman, I'm still going to go to the Pinggang Mansion on North Sichuan Road, you will contact Wang Tianmu in a while, and say that Zhang Manhong is back, you personally send someone to him, and tell him in person that the codebook is here with me, let him rest assured, I will return it to him personally when I meet." Feng Chen arranged, and he temporarily decided to copy this codebook.

"Codebook? What codebook? "Fang Xiaoman is very sensitive.

"The newly opened codebook in the Shanghai District of the Military Command, Wang Tianmu forgot it in Zhang Manhong's bedroom last night, in fact, Wang Tianmu is most worried about this codebook." Feng Chen replied.

"I see! A person like Wang Tianmu, he will not wipe his face for a woman, and personally beg you for help, he is afraid that the headquarters will investigate the responsibility for the loss of his code book, so he is cheeky to beg you. ”

Fang Xiaoman sees the problem very thoroughly.

"I will go to the Pinggang Mansion with Tiemin, after you contact Wang Tianmu, you will send Zhang Manhong to it, this Zhang Manhong is not easy, you women communicate with each other, communicate more together."

As he spoke, Feng Chen got up, walked out of his office, and came to the editorial office next to him.

Feng Chen didn't ramble too much in front of Fang Xiaoman, the two of them have been working together for so long, and they have invisibly formed a tacit understanding, he knows very well that as long as Fang Xiaoman thinks about it carefully, there are many things that she doesn't need to say herself, she will be very clear.

"Miss Zhang, you sit here for a while, and immediately after our vice president contacts Wang Tianmu, she will personally send you back."

Feng Chen said hello to Zhang Manhong, took Wang Tiemin downstairs, and got into the car and drove towards North Sichuan Road.

……

Cangzhou Hotel, located at the intersection of Yuyuan Road, was a foreign-related hotel in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and the Qing government delegation for the peace talks between the north and the south lived here during the Xinhai Revolution.

After Liu Geqing accepted the task assigned by Feng Chen, in order to facilitate his movement, he opened a room in Cangzhou Hotel under a pseudonym.

At this time, Liu Geqing was sitting on the sofa in the lobby waiting for someone.

The people Liu Geqing was waiting for were Wu Ping, Zhu Shanyu and You Pinsan, members of his group.

After a while, Wu Ping came in, and he went straight to Liu Geqing and sat down.

"Captain Liu, what's the task?"

This Wu Ping, since Xu Jian was transferred, Feng Chen assigned him to Liu Geqing's subordinates, so that he has been active in the Hongkou area, and for most of the year, in addition to providing some painless little information, Liu Geqing has not assigned him other tasks.

"Wu Ping, according to the address on this note, you go to the home of a family surnamed Liu at No. 27 Ragnar Road, and get three Browning pistols and 300 rounds of ammunition."

Liu Geqing handed a note with an address to Wu Ping and commanded.

"Straight here?" Wu Ping asked.

"Yes, bring it back, go upstairs to room 405 and find me."

The so-called Liu family, where Liu Geqing asked Wu Ping to get a gun, was actually the backbone killer Lin Zhijiang in the Shanghai District of the military command.

"Our team leader Feng didn't prepare weapons?" Wu Ping looked at the note and asked puzzled.

"What a lot of words! Go do your thing. Liu Geqing waved his hand and sent Wu Ping away.

Liu Geqing is not worried about Feng Chen, he knows very well that Feng Chen has always been cautious, since he promised to help him bring weapons into Shen Dongcai's mansion, he will definitely be able to do it, but after Liu Geqing accepted the task, he temporarily changed his attention, he didn't plan to act at the birthday banquet at noon, he wanted to act at night.

Liu Geqing analyzed that Shen Dongcai's noon birthday banquet was sure that many Japanese and traitors would be present, which was bound to be strictly guarded, and it was possible that the Japanese gendarmerie and No. 76 would send people over, in this case, it was not conducive to getting out of the action at night, and at night under the cover of night, after the assassination was successful, he could get out smoothly.

On the other hand, Liu Geqing didn't want the Japanese to track down the intelligence group in the future because of the weapon.

The time was changed to the evening, and I didn't want to expose the intelligence group, the matter of weapons, so I naturally had to find a way to solve it.

As soon as Wu Ping left, a man named Liu Haishan walked into the Cangzhou Hotel as promised.

This Liu Haishan is not a member of the military command, he is a friend of Liu Geqing, Liu Geqing usually calls him a big brother, and this person has been secretly helping Liu Geqing.

Liu Haishan, a native of Northeast China, served as Zhang Xueliang's guard captain in his early years, and he hated the Japanese invading army very much, and especially supported the military commander's assassination of traitors.

Liu Haishan worked in the patrol house of the Shanghai Public Concession for a period of time, and there were many friends in the patrol room, and he was very well-informed in the public concession, and most importantly, Liu Haishan was also very familiar with a northeastern bodyguard of Shen Dongcai's family.

After accepting the task in the morning, Liu Geqing found Liu Haishan, just learned some information from him, and obtained the layout plan of Shen Dongcai's house through him.

Liu Geqing asked Liu Haishan to come to the Cangzhou Hotel to check some information again, and the two came to room 405 upstairs together, Liu Geqing poured two cups of tea, and then sat down on the sofa in the room with Liu Haishan.

"Brother Haishan, the situation in Shen Dongcai's family won't change, right?" Liu Geqing asked

"Since yesterday, until today, the whole Shen Mansion has been busy preparing for tomorrow's birthday banquet, and I heard my fellow who worked as a bodyguard at Shen Dongcai's house say that Shen Dongcai will arrive home before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." Liu Haishan told Liu Geqing what he had learned.

"Has there been any change in the defensive situation at his house?" Liu Geqing asked.

"Listen to my fellow countryman, tomorrow the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai will send a squadron to the Shen Mansion to be responsible for the perimeter guard, and Wu Sibao from No. 76 will also come over with an action team to check the guests entering and leaving." Liu Haishan replied.

"Brother Haishan, it seems that it is really inconvenient to act at the birthday banquet at noon tomorrow, even if we sneak in and the assassination is successful, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out." Liu Geqing believes that it is very wise for him to change the time of action.

"Brother Ge Qing, I don't know if Liang Hongzhi's traitor will come over tomorrow? If he participates, we'd better clean up with him. Liu Haishan suggested.

"Liang Hongzhi will definitely be there, but now in the puppet government, Shen Dongcai is more popular than Liang Hongzhi, and he has to talk more and count, Shen Dongcai has recently passed Zhou Fohai and has already relied on Wang Jingwei."

Liu Geqing did not answer Liu Haishan directly, whether he did it with Liang Hongzhi, Liu Geqing carried out the orders of the peak and had discipline, and Liu Haishan purely wanted to kill a few more traitors.

"It's better to plant explosives at the scene tomorrow and wipe out the Japanese and traitors present!" Liu Haishan gritted his teeth and said, this Northeast man hates the Japanese and traitors in his bones.

"Brother Haishan, don't do that, first of all, you can't bring explosives in, and secondly, the people who go to celebrate your birthday tomorrow are not all traitors, there must be our own people mixed in it, and it's not good if you are injured by mistake, which is why I plan to choose to act tomorrow night."

Liu Geqing understands Liu Haishan's mood very well, but the assassination of Shen Dong cannot be reckless, and reckless actions may cause irreparable consequences.
