It was also on this day that Li Yixin turned on the phone again and prepared to receive the telegram given to him by Deputy Director Ye, and he wanted to know whether the operation of the Central Union to capture the Japanese hidden spy was successful.

As a result, the telegram sent by the headquarters of the Central Unification made him feel irritated for a while, how could these fools of the Central Unification let that Japanese sleeper spy know that he had returned to Chongqing some time ago such a confidential news? Fortunately, the Central Union took timely action and arrested the Japanese sleeper spy when he was about to send a telegram, and according to Deputy Director Ye, the Japanese spy only sent two words.

If Deputy Director Ye is telling the truth, then according to common sense, two words should not clearly express the meaning of this important news. But Li Yixin was very skeptical about whether what the Central Union was saying was the truth, according to his understanding of the Central Union, even if Deputy Director Ye personally guaranteed this kind of thing, no one could say how much water there was, and Li Yixin didn't dare to bet. Otherwise, Deputy Director Ye would not have directly stated at the end of this telegram that if Li Yixin felt the danger, he could evacuate urgently.

But now his work in Stone Town has become more and more important to the party organization, even to the point of indispensability. If he evacuates Stone Town, he can foresee that Hu Yongqiang will definitely be affected, and he will definitely have to evacuate. Only Yin Qunli and Gao Hongcheng may be able to stay and continue to work.

However, the ability of these two comrades to help the party organization get the scarce materials was far inferior to his own, so Li Yixin decided to hide this matter after thinking about it, not to report it to Lao Hou, and continued to insist on working in Stone Town. Because he felt that if he reported this matter to Lao Hou, Lao Hou would definitely ask him to evacuate Stone Town immediately.

Fortunately, Deputy Director Ye also said in the telegram reporting this incident that he was making every effort to torture the Japanese hidden spy to find out whether this person had sent all the news to the Japanese secret service when he was arrested by the Central Union. Therefore, Li Yixin decided to turn on the camera every day during this time, only receive and not send, and wait for the exact results of Deputy Director Ye's interrogation of the Japanese hidden spies.

Li Yixin struck a match and burned the Zhongtong telegram he had translated. When the paper was just burned to ashes, Mu Qingwan went up to the attic, glanced at the pile of ashes, and asked, "Did the superior send a message?" ”

Li Yixin shook his head and replied: "Now Lao Hou is personally in charge of the underground party organization in Stone City, and he can find an opportunity to meet me directly. This time, it was a telegram from the Central Union. ”

Mu Qingwan asked, "Oh? Zhongtong has a new directive for you? ”

"No, it was the Central Command that informed me that according to the clues I provided, a Japanese sleeper spy lurking inside the Central Union was caught." Li Yixin pretended to be happy and said.

Mu Qingwan pursed her lips with some disdain and said: "The Central Unification is really bad, and it is a single mind to deal with our party, but as a result, the internal leakage has become a sieve, and even the Japanese have penetrated into the Central Unification. If you hadn't given them clues, I guess Zhongtong would have been kept in the dark. ”

Li Yixin smiled, did not comment on Mu Qingwan's comment, and asked, "Why did you come to the attic?" ”

Mu Qingwan shifted her attention and replied, "Just now your Japanese classmate Hideki Nomura called, saying that he was coming to our house soon and had something to do with you. ”

Li Yixin then remembered that Hideki Nomura was here to get the money from selling the radio station, he put the radio away and hid it, and then went down to the ground floor through Mu Qingwan, waiting for Hideki Nomura to come.

Nomura Hideki came quickly, and when he entered the door and saw that Mu Qingwan was also on the first floor, he was stunned, and said to Li Yixin: "Li Sang, I have something to discuss with you alone, don't you want to go to your study?" ”

Li Yixin understood that Hideki Nomura was very cautious and didn't want Mu Qingwan to know that he was in the business of smuggling sensitive materials with him, so he nodded and went up to the study on the second floor with Hideki Nomura.

As soon as he entered the door, Hideki Nomura closed the door and didn't sit down, and asked directly: "Li Sang, have you got the money?" Where is it? ”

Li Yixin nodded silently, took out something wrapped in cloth from the desk, and put it on the desk. The bag was a bit heavy, and it made a dull sound when it hit the desk.

Hideki Nomura hurriedly walked over and lifted the cloth, only to see yellow and clear gold bars lying in the cloth in a mess. With a happy face, he took it out and counted them one by one, and finally found that the number was correct, and laughed: "Li Sang, I found that it is a pleasure to do business with you, and there has never been a mistake." I'm satisfied! ”

Li Yixin also said with a smile: "That's natural, doing business is to pay attention to a letter, with reputation, you can do any business, and others are willing to deal with you." Sit down, Nomura-kun, these gold bars are yours, and you won't run away on your own. ”

Nomura Hideki put the gold bars back in the cloth, re-wrapped them and tied them in a knot, and put them beside him, then sat down and said with some worry: "It's a pity that these gold bars are a little difficult to deal with now." ”

Li Yixin asked a little strangely: "Why is it difficult to deal with?" Did you keep your gold bars at the Bank of Italy in Shanghai as you did before? ”

Nomura Hideki looked at Li Yixin, shook his head and said, "This amount of gold is too much, I don't have to worry about handing it over to others to help me save it." In fact, there is no way to save it, Li Sang, you also know, now our European allies of the Great Japanese Empire, whether Germany or Italy, are now losing ground one after another. If I had deposited my gold bars in an Italian bank, I might have lost all my money when the bank closed. That's a bit of a headache for me. If so many gold bars are kept around, if someone finds them, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, how can I, an officer in the logistics department, have so many gold bars? It's a bit inexplicable. ”

In fact, Li Yixin has heard some news about the successive defeats of Germany and Italy in the European theater, and not only that, but now the Japanese are also losing and retreating in the Pacific theater, and it seems that the situation is also a little bad.

So Li Yixin said tentatively: "Nomura-kun's consideration is not unreasonable, and now it is really Meiyu's bank insurance." I want to take my money out of the bank and keep it at home, and it's safer to keep it in my own hands. ”

Of course, Nomura Hideki understood the meaning of Li Yixin's words, he nodded and sighed: "Yes, what you said is very reasonable, whether it is a foreign bank or our bank in the Great Japanese Empire, it is a little unsafe from the current situation." The current situation in the empire is also not good. ”
