After Lu Ziqiang and Xie Xiaoliu left the Penglai Inn, Xie Xiaoliu went directly to the post office to copy back every poem sent by Zhong Qiangen.

Lu Ziqiang, on the other hand, returned to the county government and went to the communication room, where he asked Li to apply to his superiors to investigate the whereabouts of Zhong Qiangen and his wife on the way to the border area.

Because he had just seen Wang Sufen's account book in the room of Zhong Qiangen and his wife. Wang Sufen's handwriting on this ledger is clearly visible, and it is very delicate, and more importantly, the bookkeeping method of this ledger is very scientific, and it is impossible for an ordinary housewife to say that it can be written!

Moreover, he also found the panicked and unnatural subtle expression on Wang Sufen's face, all kinds of signs made Lu Ziqiang believe that these two people were very unusual, and they were in an extreme sense of responsibility for the security work, and he had to apply to his superiors to conduct a secret investigation of Zhong Qiangen and his wife.

Xie Xiaoliu came back soon, and he brought back a stack of papers, each with a poem on it. Lu Ziqiang took the copies of these poems and began to look at them carefully one by one.

After reading them, Lu Ziqiang asked Xie Xiaoliu: "Which newspaper did Zhong Qiangen's poems go to?" ”

"It's Shanghai's "Declaration." Xie Xiaoliu replied.

"Oh, I see. Now let's study these poems, you have also read them, have you found any problems? Lu Ziqiang secretly decided in his heart that he must ask his superiors to find a way to investigate whether these poems had been published in the "Declaration" through the underground party organization in the occupied area.

And these poems don't seem to be undoubted, but Lu Ziqiang thinks that there must be something wrong with them, but he can't find any problems in these poems now. So he also asked Xie Xiaoliu to take a look and see if he could find out the problem in the middle of the poem, after all, it is better to brainstorm this kind of thing.

Xie Xiaoliu looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see anything famous, he scratched his hair, and said distressedly: "Section chief, I've read these poems countless times, and I can't see the problem at all." ”

Lu Ziqiang is also a little helpless, if this puzzle cannot be solved, he may not be able to get the real evidence that Zhong Qiangen came to the border area for another purpose.

According to Lu Ziqiang's analysis, there must be code words in the middle of these poems sent by Zhong Qiangen to the Poster Society, and most of these code words are hidden in these poems after they are disrupted, but it is necessary to find out the rules of these code words in order to completely crack the code words and understand what information Zhong Qian Gen has transmitted to the outside world.

And this may require a cryptographic expert, Lu Ziqiang thought of this, and instructed Xie Xiaoliu: "In this way, you can copy another copy of these poems and send them to central Yan'an, and let the superiors find a way to organize experts to decipher these poems." ”

"Then when are we leaving for Yan'an?" Xie Xiaoliu asked.

"Hmm...... The sooner the better, and let's go the day after tomorrow. You go to the Penglai Inn tomorrow to inform Zhong Qiangen and his wife, so that they can get ready to leave for Yan'an, and don't say anything else. If he asks you why you went to Yan'an, you will say that you don't know, and that you went to Yan'an to accept the mission on the orders of your superiors. Lu Ziqiang thought about it, made a decision and told Xie Xiaoliu.

After assigning the task, Lu Ziqiang went to the county government's communications room again, where there was the only radio station in the county, and he sent a telegram to the Yan'an border security headquarters about everything that happened here and his suspicions about Zhong Qiangen and his wife.

On the same day, an anxious middle-aged man walked into Ma Zhixin's house in Stone Town, Ma Zhixin went to work, and it was Ma Zhixin's wife who received the visitor.

After Ma Zhixin's wife saw this middle-aged man, she said with a smile: "Ah, it's the seventh brother who is here." Why don't you make good money in Shanghai, and today you have time to go to Stone Town to visit your sister? Quick, please be seated. ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly said anxiously: "Cousin, brother, I came all the way from Shanghai today to serve my grandfather's intentions. There was a big incident at home, and my grandfather asked me to take the earliest train to Stone Town, wanting my sister to come up with an idea. ”

When Mrs. Ma Zhixin heard this, she hurriedly asked with concern: "What's going on in the family?" Grandpa told you to come to me quickly? Let's talk about it. ”

"Big brother was suddenly caught by the people at the secret service headquarters yesterday, and there was no news by the time I left. As you know, the people at the secret service headquarters are dedicated to anti-Japanese elements. But the eldest brother is a nerd, he has no quarrel with the world on weekdays, and quietly works as an editor of the literary edition of "Declaration", how can he have anything to do with the anti-Japanese elements? But why the eldest brother was arrested, no one in the family knew the reason. We all know what kind of agency the secret service headquarters is, and very few of the people who are caught in it come out alive. Grandpa likes the eldest brother the most, who can read the most in our generation, and when he heard that the eldest brother was caught, he fainted at that time. We finally woke up my grandfather, and the first thing he said when he woke up was to let me come to Stone Town to find my sister and find a way. ”

When Mrs. Ma Zhixin heard this, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and hurriedly asked: "Then is there any relationship in Shanghai to inquire about why the eldest brother was arrested by the secret service headquarters?" Our family has been doing business in Shanghai for a long time, so we can find some connections and inquire about it. You came all the way to me, I can't help it, I'm in Stone Town now, and I'm not in Shanghai, this far water can't cure my thirst. ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Those relationships, you are hello to me on weekdays, hello to everyone, but they are really unreliable at a critical time." Grandpa said, our family can get along with officialdom, let me go to Stone Town to find my brother-in-law to find a way. He's crazy. Sister, you have to tell your brother-in-law about it. ”

On weekdays, Ma Zhixin's wife often interacts with several official wives, and she doesn't care much about Ma Zhixin's affairs in the officialdom. She immediately stood up, walked to the telephone, picked up the phone, and called Ma Zhixin's office.

Ma Zhixin was listening to the Kunqu opera record in the office at this time, humming a small tune, and after the phone rang, he lifted the record player in some annoyance, and then picked up the phone and asked, "Hey?" Who to look for? ”

"I'm looking for you, who has no conscience, something big happened in the family, woo woo...... Hurry home. Mrs. Ma Zhixin cried on the other end of the phone and hung up the phone.

Ma Zhixin has never been hung up by his wife, and his wife is always obedient to him at home on weekdays, but today's actions made Ma Zhixin realize that something really happened to his wife, and his wife would be so out of shape.
