Sunday.

Jixiang Hotel is located in the middle of Bingchang Street, is a two-story detached building, opposite the hotel is Heshun Teahouse, Li Xianjie is sitting at the table by the window at the moment, drinking hot tea and looking outside from time to time.

Wang Jinbao walked in, sat opposite Li Xianjie, and said in a low voice: "Director, everything is normal, I have notified the monitoring team to monitor the phone in the room." ”

"Did he go out in the morning?"

"In the morning, he ate a bowl of noodles at an early street stall and never came out again."

"Well, keep watching, and I'll send someone to replace you in the afternoon...... Wow, what does that mean? ”

Wang Jinbao followed Li Xianjie's gaze and saw that in the window of room 3 of Jixiang Hotel, a man about forty years old, with a Chinese character face and a two-handful mustache, placed a pot of Junzi Orchid on the windowsill.

Li Xianjie thought for a moment and said, "Notify the Operations Department and ask them to send someone over immediately, this pot of flowers is likely to be a signal to connect!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Jinbao turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Li Xianjie suddenly stopped him.

Wang Jinbao: "What else do you command?" ”

Li Xianjie: "You continue to monitor, I'll call!" ”

After leaving the teahouse and walking into the public phone booth on the street, Li Xianjie dialed a few numbers: "Hey, Lao Zhang?" I'm Li Xianjie, you come to Bingchang Street right away, there is an arrest operation......"

Zhang Maosen: "Where is Bingchang Street?" ”

"You come to the Heshun Teahouse to find me."

"Good! I'll ask the senior director, and I'll go over at once. ”

"Whoa...... No need, the matter is urgent, you bring someone over immediately, Gao Fei is there, I will go back and explain to him. ”

“…… Okay, I'll be there in a minute! ”

Zhang Maosen knew that Gao Fei and Li Xianjie were indistinguishable from each other, and there were many such greetings after that, so he didn't think much about it, and summoned the operatives of this group to rush to Bingchang Street by car.

Three and a half in the afternoon.

In room No. 3 on the second floor of the Jixiang Hotel, Li Lun stood by the window and looked downstairs thoughtfully.

As Li Xianjie guessed, he put Junzilan on the windowsill, which was a secret signal to the "Phoenix", which meant that everything was normal and could be connected as originally planned.

Because it was close to the joint time, Li Lun had been standing by the window and observing the situation outside. At this time, two cars slowly stopped in front of the Heshun teahouse, and a man got out of the car and walked into the teahouse.

The sun was shining outside, the line of sight was clear, there were at least four or five people in each car, why only one person went into the teahouse?

Li Lun realized that something was wrong with the situation, he was a veteran agent with more than ten years of underground work experience, although he couldn't be sure whether his suspicions were accurate, but experience told him that he should stop this plan to connect with "Phoenix"!

- He took the pot of gentleman's orchid from the windowsill.

Li Xianjie and Zhang Maosen were talking, and they found this situation at a glance.

"Oh no, he seems to have found us!"

"What then?"

Li Xianjie thought for a while and said, "Lao Zhang, you are guarding outside, blocking the front and back doors of the hotel, I'll go in and have a look!" ”

Zhang Maosen: "Okay. ”

Out of the teahouse, when Li Xianjie passed by Wang Jinbao, he said: "Don't make a noise, bring two people, come with me." ”

Wang Jinbao quietly called two spies, followed behind Li Xianjie, and the four mermaids walked into the Jixiang Hotel, and went straight to the counter money, and the hotel owner greeted warmly: "A few gentlemen, do you want to stay in the hotel?" The room was clean and hygienic and the price was fair......"

Li Xianjie: "Open room 3." ”

Boss: "Who are you?" ……”

Wang Jinbao took out his ID and shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" ”

The boss hurriedly took out the spare key of room 3, went up to the second floor tremblingly, and came to the door of room 3.

Wang Jinbao glared at him and said, "Open the door!" ”

The boss shuddered and inserted the key in, clicked the door open, and he immediately stepped aside. Wang Jinbao rushed in first, followed by another spy who also rushed in.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

"Who are you?" Li Lun sat on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and calmly looked at several uninvited guests.

Li Xianjie walked in and said, "Is there any problem with the Shanghai Station of the Secret Bureau?" ”

Li Lun: "What crime have I committed?" You guys are so rough in your private room! ”

Li Xianjie sneered: "If we don't be rude, we'll let your accomplices escape!" ”

He picked up the pot of gentleman's orchids on the ground, put them on the windowsill again, turned around and said to Li Lun: "A good pot of flowers, it should be allowed to see more sunlight, am I right?" ”

Li Lun: "I don't understand what you're talking about!" ”

Li Xianjie: "Actually, you understand, you're just pretending to be confused with me!" …… Wang Jinbao, search for me! ”

Wang Jinbao and the two spies briefly searched the room, but did not find Li Lun carrying weapons or other suspicious items.

"Director, nothing."

Li Xianjie thought for a moment and ordered: "Go down alone, stay at the counter with the hotel owner, and let him be honest!" ”

"Understood!" A spy takes the boss back downstairs.

Li Lun was silent for a while, his eyes swept over the wall clock, it was exactly 3:50, which means that in another ten minutes, the "Phoenix" would enter the hotel and come to connect with him!

What to do? How do I notify Phoenix?

Before Li Lun came to Shanghai, the chief had a special conversation with him, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of the phoenix, and he also knew that a lot of important information was transmitted back by the phoenix, and once he was arrested, he would cause irreparable losses on the intelligence front!

Li Lun sighed and said, "It is said that the Secret Bureau is sharp-eyed, and today is the one who has been taught!" ”

Li Xianjie: "If you are willing to cooperate, now is the best opportunity!" ”

Li Lun lowered his head and pondered, and said, "I don't understand one thing, how did you find me?" ”

Hearing him say this, it is tantamount to admitting his Communist Party identity, which is an attitude of cooperation, and Li Xianjie is very happy.

"Do you know Wu Sankui?"

"I don't know, who is he?"

"He's just a small soldier, of course you won't notice him, Wu Sankui is the guard at the gate of your headquarters, and he came to Shanghai two months ago."

Li Lun remembered that he had accompanied the head of the special department to the headquarters to attend two meetings, probably at that time by this Wu Sankui remembered his appearance, how could he run to Shanghai?

Li Xianjie saw the confusion in his eyes, and explained: "Wu Sankui couldn't stand the hardships on your side, and took a boat to Shanghai while people were not paying attention, he confessed some information of little value, and then was incorporated into the plainclothes brigade of the police station, as soon as you got off the boat, you were recognized by him, understand?" ”
