It was also on this night that Yuan Shiheng finally couldn't hold it back, his subordinates who were following Xu Wenwu had no news for two days, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. What made him even more uneasy was that the communist surnamed Xu had also disappeared without a trace, as if no such person had existed in this world.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary to search the Tongwen bookstore to see if Xu Wenwu had left anything valuable.

So taking advantage of the nightfall, he waited until the dead of night to let the subordinates at the surveillance point quietly pry open the door lock of the Tongwen bookstore, and then he and two of his subordinates slipped into the Tongwen bookstore.

The interior layout of the Tongwen bookstore is typical of a store in Stone Town, with a front store and a back room. Yuan Shiheng touched the room where Xu Wenwu lived behind him and turned on the electric light, then looked around first, and instructed the two subordinates who followed him into the house: "You conduct a detailed search here, but pay attention to the location of all the items in the house now, and after the search, all the items must be returned to their original places, in case the Communist Party surnamed Xu will find any clues after he returns." ”

The two agents could only nod yes, and then began to search.

To Yuan Shiheng's disappointment, they even checked the night pot, but they were unable to find strong evidence that Xu Wenwu was a Communist Party member and any documents, papers, and items related to the Communist Party.

This made Yuan Shiheng a little frustrated, he really didn't figure out why Xu Wenwu would use such a trick as a golden cicada shell. Because in his opinion, secretly monitoring Xu Wenwu's actions will not leak the news, but this Xu Wenwu seems to be aware of their investigation, not only did he disappear, but in this room there are not even all the documents proving that Xu Wenwu is a member of the Communist Party, not a single one!

The implementation of this search was the last straw for Yuan Shiheng, who actually did not want to inform Yan Fuzhi and the Japanese of this matter.

Because he knew that maybe Yan Fuzhi would know where his subordinates were now with a few phone calls, after all, they were a few big people, easy to find, and the target was big and obvious.

But neither Yan Fuzhi nor the Japanese knew that he also secretly had information about another Communist Party member in his hands, and if the Communist Party surnamed Xu got rid of the tracking, then he might not be able to speak clearly in front of the Japanese.

But now Yuan Shiheng found that he still had limited energy in Stone City, and he couldn't grasp the whereabouts of his subordinates at all, and there was no way to investigate.

The reason why Yuan Shiheng is so concerned about the whereabouts of his subordinates is not because he is worried about the safety of these subordinates, his real purpose is to find out where the communist party surnamed Xu has gone, if these subordinates can be found, but he finally saw a few witnesses to Xu Wenwu. They will definitely know where Xu Wenwu has gone, and at least they will know a little clue about Xu Wenwu's whereabouts.

But now he has no clue, Yuan Shiheng thought about it for a long time, and finally reluctantly decided to go to the dead mailbox at No. 66 Wenmiao Street to see if the insider had noticed any changes in the underground party of Stone City in the past two days, and then went to find Yan Fuzhi and asked him to help find out where his subordinates went.

Maybe going to Yan Fuzhi to help find his subordinates will expose the identities of these subordinates of the Zhongtong Stone Town Investigation and Statistics Office, but Yuan Shiheng can't care so much now, because he has long had the idea of defecting to the Japanese, and if he exposes his strength, then expose it.

Of course, Yuan Shiheng would not tell Yan Fuzhi the truth, and his subordinates lost contact because they were tracking Xu Wenwu, an important figure in the underground organization of the Communist Party in Stone Town, because in this way, Yan Fuzhi might feel that he was selfish and that the cooperation between him and Yan Fuzhi was not honest. Therefore, Yuan Shiheng didn't want to tell Yan Fuzhi about Xu Wenwu's matter so early.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shiheng came to No. 66 Confucian Temple Street. Sure enough, he saw that the mark he had drawn on the door of the small restaurant had been erased, indicating that the insider had recently been here and had taken his note.

But to his disappointment, the inside line did not give a reply, because the inside line where he drew the mark did not draw a new mark, and only when a new mark was drawn would it mean that the message of answering him was placed in the dead mail box.

Yuan Shiheng did not enter the small restaurant, but left quickly, he walked to another street with a public phone booth, and used the public phone to call Yan Fuzhi.

Yan Fuzhi on the other end of the phone quickly picked up the phone and asked with some majesty, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Yuan Shiheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Yan, it's me." I have something I need your help with and need to meet with you. ”

Yan Fuyi heard Yuan Shiheng's voice, and immediately became enthusiastic: "Ah, it turned out to be Mr. Yuan." Okay, see you at the old place in two hours. ”

Of course, Yan Fuzhi is enthusiastic about Yuan Shiheng, because this 'Yuan Datou' is now his main source, and he can't be sloppy at all.

Even though Yuan Shiheng said on the phone that he was looking for help instead of providing any new information, Yan Fuzhi was still very happy. Because since this surnamed Yuan wants to ask him for help, he must help.

This is a good opportunity for the two sides to deepen their exchanges, and Yan Fuzhi's ultimate goal is to gradually pull this 'Yuan Datou' over, and finally let the other party cooperate with him with all his heart. Through a series of previous cooperation between the two sides, Yan Fuzhi has realized that this 'Yuan Datou' may have such thoughts in his heart, but he is still in the process of testing.

Two hours was not a long time, and soon Yan Fuzhi arrived at the private room on the second floor of a pot of spring tea house and met Yuan Shiheng. Yuan Shiheng still arrived earlier than him and waited in the private room.

Yan Fuzhi walked into the private room, closed the door with his backhand, and asked Yuan Shiheng with some playfulness: "Mr. Yuan's strength in Stone City is not small, even Zuo Tianming, who was escorted by Taijun, can be killed unconsciously. What hurdles did you encounter today that you can't get over, and you have to let Yan come forward to solve it? ”

Yuan Shiheng no longer had the arrogance he had when he met Yan Fuzhi in the past few times, and said with a wry smile: "Isn't this Stone City your world now?" There are a lot of things I can only do in private, not on the table. So today Yuan has no choice but to work on you, the Bodhisattva. ”

Yan Fuzhi smiled, sat opposite Yuan Shiheng, and said, "Mr. Yuan, you are a little out of sight, and the cooperation between us is not once or twice, what else do you have to share with each other?" You just have to rest assured, I will help you with your help, if even I can't solve it, I can still ask Taijun from the special high class to come forward. ”
