December 14, 1938, Investigation Division

Today, a cold northwest wind was blowing in Shanghai, and the sign of a grocery store at the corner of the Reconnaissance Office was creaking in the wind.

There were few pedestrians on the road because of the cold, and this was in front of the Japanese puppet secret service, so there was no one to see.

Tang Yi got off work earlier than Gu Junqiao, because when Gu Junqiao got off work and sent her home, she would be sitting in the car bored, looking out of the door in a daze.

Xiang Jie officially took over as the captain of the Special Operations Brigade yesterday, and now he is proud of the spring breeze and constantly socializing.

Xiang Jie wanted to take Fang Hu to the Special Operations Brigade together, but Fang Hu was detained by Tang Yi.

Now Fang Hu is the captain of the intelligence department's action team, and he has also taken over Xiang Jie's position as the first dog.

At this time, a rickshaw slowly drove by the door, looking like it had just finished its work and was about to go home.

However, Tang Yi noticed the coachman, and with Tang Yi's observation ability, he recognized the coachman at a glance.

The coachman was the "camel" Zheng Jingxian, Tang Yi immediately noticed that something was wrong, it must be the Communist Party that something was looking for him, otherwise the "camel" would not have appeared at the door of the investigation office so recklessly and recklessly.

Tang Yi hurriedly got out of the car, stepped on a thin layer of snow, walked towards the gate, and said to the guard room when he walked to the door: "I'll go to the grocery store in front to buy something, you go to my car and wait for Team Leader Gu to come down and say hello to him." ”

When the guard at the door saw that it was Deputy Director Tang, he hurriedly practiced and nodded, saying yes, and then ran out of the guard room to Tang Yi's car in the courtyard.

Tang Yi walked out and looked along the axle print of the rickshaw of the "camel" on the ground, only to see that the "camel" had just walked to the corner of the street and was turning to look at himself.

Tang Yi nodded covertly and walked into the grocery store, although the boss said that he was doing business at the door of the Investigation Department and knew some people from the Investigation Department, he naturally did not recognize Tang Yi, a senior leader who he could not meet on weekdays.

When the boss saw Tang Yi coming in, he just glanced at it symbolically, and he didn't greet Tang Yi, which was also in line with Tang Yi's intentions.

After a while, there was the sound of a rickshaw getting off the car outside the store, Zheng Jing walked to the door of the store first, chopped his feet carefully shook off the snow on the soles of his feet, and glanced at the boss before walking in.

"Boss, where are the dried fruits?"

When the boss saw that he was a poor cart puller, he was even more reluctant to take care of it, and he didn't want to take a second look, but after he gestured to the position, he continued to bow his head and do his own thing.

Zheng Jing walked back first, and the moment he mismatched Tang Yi, a note was stuffed into Tang Yi's pocket.

Tang Yi naturally felt something, he nodded to Zheng Jing first, and then said to the boss: "Weigh me two catties of melon seeds, one catty of plums, and wrap them for me well." ”

As soon as the boss heard Tang Yi's lofty tone, he reluctantly raised his head and glanced at Tang Yi carefully, but when he saw that Tang Yi was not dressed like a mortal, he hurriedly walked over.

After a while, the boss had already wrapped the plums and melon seeds, came to the counter and respectfully handed them to Tang Yi.

Tang Yi took the two paper bags, took out a stack of Huaxing coupons from his pocket, threw them on the counter, and then walked out of the store without looking back.

"No need to look for it." Tang Yi's voice came slowly.

When he returned to the office, Gu Junqiao was already sitting in the co-pilot of the car, and the guard at the door was waiting respectfully beside the car.

Seeing Tang Yi come back, the guard stepped forward in three steps and two steps, reached out and took the paper bag in Tang Yi's hand, opened the door of the back seat, and put it in.

Tang Yi didn't say anything, just nodded and got into the car, then rolled down the window.

The guard walked briskly to the window again, bent down, and looked like he was listening.

"Thank you." Tang Yi opened his mouth and said.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"What's your name?" Tang Yi asked again.

The guard looked happy and hurriedly said, "Back to Deputy Director Tang, my name is Luo Zhuangshi!" ”

"Poof." Hearing this name, Gu Junqiao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help laughing.

"Go find Fang Hu tomorrow and report to the Intelligence Section." After speaking, Tang Yi started the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the reconnaissance office.

Luo Zhuangshi, who was left behind him and was overwhelmed with excitement, excitedly shouted at Tang Yi's car: "Deputy Director Xie Tang!" ”

It was the time to get off work, and the people who came and went looked at the excited Luo Zhuangshi and looked at them with envy.

After all, after Xiang Zhuo became the captain of the action brigade, everyone knew that following Deputy Director Tang was extremely promising.

After all, Xiang Jie went from an ordinary driver to the upper echelons of the Investigation Department.

It can be described as one of the top ten inspirational figures of Shanghai Tang in 1938!

On the way, Gu Junqiao looked at the dried fruits in the back seat from the rearview mirror and asked, "What are you buying such things for, there is no shortage of these at home." ”

Tang Yi smiled, "It's not for you to take home to eat, it's not busy these days, I'm going to eat it slowly when I'm bored in the office, and I also bought you a pound of plums." ”

Gu Junqiao said with some doubts: "Then why don't you just put it in the place, and take it home." ”

"That Luo Zhuang is really fast, take it and put it in the car, I don't want to delay him to get it again." Tang Yi stretched out a hand holding the steering wheel and spread his palms to show helplessness.

Gu Junqiao heard Tang Yi mention this name again and said with a smile: "This Luo Zhuang really has some eyesight, what's the matter, Xiang Jie has been promoted, and you want to cultivate a few more dog legs?" ”

Tang Yi smiled and nodded.

After a while, the car drove to Gu Mansion, and after saying goodbye to Gu Junqiao, Tang Yi stepped on the accelerator and drove to an unknown small street before stopping the car.

Then Tang Yi took out a note from his pocket, there was no code or password, just a few simple words.

"If you want to discuss, please talk about it in the bookstore. Square. ”

Tang Yi lit a cigarette after reading the note, burned the note into ashes, took a puff of cigarette, and drove slowly to the Tang Mansion.

Bookstore at No. 34 Qingxiang Road.

Tang Yi parked the car at home, and he took a rickshaw to the bookstore, so that the goal was much smaller and unobtrusive.

When I came to the bookstore, there were no customers, so I looked directly at the old party.

The old man nodded, turned around and walked towards the backyard, and waved Tang Yi to follow.

When he came to the room in the backyard, the old man lit the kerosene lamp as always, hesitated for a while and said with some embarrassment: "It seems that we are going to trouble you again." ”

Tang Yi waved his hand when he heard this, signaling that he didn't care, and asked: "Old Fang, if there is anything, you can just say it generously, as long as it is for the nation, there is nothing to be embarrassed about." ”

Lao Fang tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "That's the case, the writers of the Enlightened Bookstore in the concession organized the Literary Association, and they want to print and transport a batch of propaganda articles to Shanghai Beach from the outside. ”

"You don't have a way?" Tang Yi asked curiously.

Hearing this, the old man nodded awkwardly and said: "The highest level in our Japanese puppet government is Comrade "Red Carp", and after his sacrifice, our strength in the Japanese puppet government is almost zero. ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly heavily: "Recently, the Japanese have indeed been very strict, and it is no longer useful to sell favors as usual, but I have a note here." ”

"Tell me about it." Lao Fang hurriedly asked.

"That's the case, you tell them to contact the outside world to speed up printing, and strive to get the goods to the vicinity of Shanghai Beach on the 16th, and I will have my own way to bring the goods in at that time!"
