On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Lin once again entered from the back of the bookstore.

"Lao Li, why are you in a hurry to call me?" Zhou Lin saw the meeting mark in the death mailbox.

Li Qiang asked Zhou Lin to sit down: "Xiao Zhou, now, I will talk to you on behalf of the organization. ”

When Zhou Lin heard this, he immediately sat upright: "Please speak!" ”

"Are you willing to fight for the cause of communism all your life?"

"Yes!" Zhou Lin replied immediately without thinking about it.

"Are you willing to shed your blood for the revolutionary cause of the proletariat?"

Zhou Lin felt a rush of blood rushing to his heart: "I am willing!" ”

Li Qiang looked at Zhou Lin solemnly: "Are you willing to join the Communist Party of China and become a glorious member of the Communist Party of China?" ”

Zhou Lin stood up: "Of course I do!" It's just that I don't feel qualified, especially the Wuhan bombing, which makes me feel very immature. ”

Li Qiang smiled: "Your matter, the central leaders have already studied it, and the leaders believe that you can solve the cloth, medicine and guns for the organization in a very short period of time, which proves your love for the revolutionary cause." Our party needs outstanding talents like you. ”

Zhou Lin smiled happily: "I will write the party application immediately!" ”

Li Qiang waved his hand: "Due to the nature of your work, the central government has instructed: you can't leave handwriting for filing." Therefore, it was decided that Mr. Fang would write the application for joining the party on your behalf, and Vice Chairman Zhou would be your introducer to join the party. If you agree, write a power of attorney and entrust Mr. Fang to write the application for joining the party on your behalf. I will send your power of attorney back to Yan'an. ”

"Good! I'll write! Zhou Lin hurriedly looked around for pens and paper.

Li Qiang helped bring pen and paper, but Zhou Lin didn't write immediately, but closed his eyes and seriously thought about how to write.

When Zhou Lin finished writing, Li Qiang copied the "Power of Attorney" again, and then burned Zhou Lin's original.

Then, Li Qiang asked Zhou Lin to wait for him in the bookstore, and he disappeared into the night with the transcript.

An hour later, there was a knock on the door in the backyard, and Li Qiang returned.

As soon as he entered the dark room, Li Qiang held Zhou Lin's hand tightly: "Comrade Zhou Lin, the Central Committee quickly voted on your matter and agreed to your request to join the party. Since this is behind enemy lines, there is no party flag oath project. But from now on, you are already a member of the Chinese Communist Party. ”

Li Qiang found a bottle of wine, poured two glasses of wine, and he picked up one: "Congratulations, Comrade Zhou Lin!" ”

Zhou Lin picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Li Qiang, and wiped them out.

After returning to the dock, Zhou Lin's mood was still difficult to calm down, and he finally became a comrade-in-arms in the trench with his uncle.

"Section chief, found a beautiful girl?" The bald head flashed in.

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, why did you come to me when you weren't at home with your wife?" Zhou Lin asked.

"My fellow in Sanke told me a piece of news." The bald head whispered.

"What's the news? Makes you crush your throat. Zhou Lin said strangely.

"In the freight yard of the railway station of Sanke, there is a batch of contraband."

"What contraband? We have contraband released every day, why are you fooling those hearts? Zhou Lin laughed at the mysterious appearance of his bald head.

"Smoke!" The bald head whispered in Zhou Lin's ear.

"What? It's true? Zhou Lin jumped up from his chair.

"Really, he took me to see it secretly." The bald head assured.

"Docked?" Since the bald head went to see it, it means that it has entered the warehouse.

"In, ready to be shipped out at midnight."

"Does their section chief know? Who is so bold as to dare to release tobacco and soil privately? ”

The bald head said mysteriously: "It was their section chief who asked them to put it in the warehouse, and it was he who notified the release of the goods at zero o'clock." It is said that the Commissioner also has a part. ”

Zhou Lin reached out to the bald head and asked for a cigarette, and the bald head diligently helped light it, and Zhou Lin smoked the cigarette and walked around the room.

This is an opportunity for meritorious service, this opportunity must not be lost, Zhou Lin made up his mind.

"Bald, you go to Sankona immediately and star. Before half past eleven, we met at the three-way intersection in front of the three branches. After Zhou Lin finished explaining, he drove away from the dock.

Zhou Lin drove directly to the gendarmerie headquarters and found the small forestry department.

"What's the matter with me?" Kobayashi sat in his chair and didn't move.

As soon as Zhou Lin finished talking about the smoke, Xiao Lin couldn't sit still.

He immediately asked for the phone number of Yamada's house in Tokyo and reported the situation to Yamada.

Yamada asked Zhou Lin to answer the phone: "You immediately ask Chang Liang to send a company of troops to follow the gendarmerie action." The chiefs of the three sections were arrested first, and the chief of the investigation department was also controlled. All the people involved in the case were first arrested at the dock for trial, and after the trial, if it was confirmed that there was a problem, they were transferred to the gendarmerie. In addition, don't lose that batch of goods, put them in the dock warehouse, send troops to take care of them, and wait for me to come back to deal with them. Do you understand? ”

Hearing Yamada's last words, Zhou Lin knew that Yamada's Ken family was also playing this tobacco idea.

"Yes! Chief. ”

After Zhou Lin put down the phone, he asked Xiao Lin to connect Chang Liang's phone.

Xiao Lin said a few words to Chang Liang, and then handed the phone to Zhou Lin.

"Master Chang, it's me! On the orders of the Commander, send your most powerful and trusted company to the Gendarmerie Headquarters to follow the Imperial Army. Yes, there is an operation tonight, and your men will be at the gendarmerie headquarters before ten o'clock. Zhou Lin said directly.

"Good! I personally brought a company of the guard battalion. Chang Liang put down the phone.

An hour later, at twenty-two o'clock, Chang Liang rushed over with three cars.

With a wave of the small forestry department, more than 30 Japanese military policemen got into two cars and walked in front.

Chang Liang hurriedly ordered the troops to follow the imperial army, and he himself got into Zhou Lin's car.

"Brother, what do you want to put on such a big frame?" Chang Liang looked at the cars in front of him and said.

Zhou Lin told the matter, anyway, wait a minute, Chang Liang will also know.

When Chang Liang heard this, he stood up instigated, but his head hit the roof of the car, and he screamed in pain.

"You can't be so excited, it won't have anything to do with you, will it?" Zhou Lin squinted at him.

Chang Liang rubbed his head: "I almost went in." I didn't have money for medicine and white cloth some time ago, wasn't I in a hurry, so someone introduced me. But I was worried that something big would happen, so I dragged it out. Later, you helped, and I was more relaxed, so I pushed the business. I didn't expect this thing to really have an accident. ”

"So do you know where this thing came from?" Zhou Lin asked.

"I heard that it was shipped to southern Zhejiang and sold to Taiwan." Chang Liang does not hide it.

When they arrived at the three miles in front of the third department, Xiao Lin came over: "Chang Liangjun, your people are divided into three batches, one platoon for each batch." An ambush was set up 200 meters in front of the warehouse road, and as soon as the car transporting tobacco and soil came, it immediately blocked the road and detained the car and detained people. At the same time as the car was detained, the other two platoons went in to block the external communication tools of the three departments, and all the people were taken to the dock and handed over to Zhou Linjun to deal with. ”

Xiao Lin turned back to Zhou Lin and said, "Transfer a shift from your dock to be on duty here." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Lin immediately called out to the bald head: "You go back immediately and bring all your day shift personnel to the three sections on duty." Remember, don't leak the news, after midnight, it's up to you to take over. ”

"Yes!" The bald head ran out excitedly.

Soon, all the people in ambush were in place, and calm returned to the surroundings.

At 23:35, two small cars drove from the direction of the city and drove past the ambushers.

Zhou Lin knew that the owner of the goods had arrived, and they were ready to ship.

Sure enough, after twenty-four o'clock, two small and one large three cars drove out of the warehouse and headed for the road.

At mid-10:00, gunshots rang out in front of them, and the three cars were forced to stop.

Soon, ten people were tied up and put into the car.

Xiao Lin waved his hand, and Chang Liang immediately led two platoons of people straight to the office of the third department.

First of all, the chief of the three sections who was about to make a phone call was captured, and the phone of the three sections was controlled.

In this way, no one can inform the outside.

Subsequently, all the personnel of the three departments were concentrated, and after confirming that all the people were there, all the people were escorted to the car.

At this time, the bald head came to the third branch with more than twenty people and officially took over the third department.

All the 100 people from the three branches were pulled back to the dock, as well as the ten who were transporting the goods.

Kobayashi did not rest and immediately began the interrogation.

Zhou Lin and Chang Liang also accompanied him, sitting on chairs in the makeshift interrogation room.

After an hour of interrogation, Xiao Lin pulled the chair to the side: "Zhou Linjun, you have also been the captain of the detective team, you will be tried." ”

Zhou Lin had to sit on the presiding judge and beckoned someone to come up.

It was a man in his thirties who came up, and as soon as he came, he sat down on the chair in the middle and crossed Erlang's legs: "Is there any smoke?" Give Lao Tzu one. ”

Zhou Lin frowned, walked up to the man, took out the cigarette he was smoking, and stuffed it into the man's mouth with the end of the cigarette that was on fire.

The man's skin was squeaky from the fireworks, and he wanted to struggle, but the two security soldiers next to him pressed and couldn't break free, so that his tears came out.

The cigarette butt went out, and Zhou Lin lit another cigarette: "Whether to be honest or continue to roast, you decide for yourself." ”

The man looked at Xiao Lin and knew that if he didn't say it, he would be worse off than dead, so he sat down and said, "I'll confess!" I'll confess. ”

With his confession, the whole case became clear.

He is a squad leader of the city's water anti-smuggling team.

Their anti-smuggling team on the water also has five anti-smuggling boats and more than 100 people.

Captain Chen Chun has been making money since he became the captain.

However, as soon as the Economic Supervision Office was established, their financial means were cut off, and many people were willing to go overland and spend a little money to accomplish great things.

So, under the guidance of a capable person, Chen Chun was stuck in the waterway, and if he wanted to escape the goods on the dock and go ashore, he had to give them a lot of money.

Half a month ago, a guest from Shangshui gave Chen Chun three small yellow croakers as soon as they met.

And said, ten small yellow croaker, walk a thousand catties of tobacco soil.

Chen Chun looked at the gold bars and was red-eyed, unwilling to let go, and finally the other party quoted sixteen small yellow croaker, Chen Chun couldn't help but agree.

Since the wharf was strictly controlled and prone to accidents, they chose to go out on the highway of Sanke, and then launched in front of them, and were sent to the ship in the sea by small boats.

The reason why they are sure is that Chen Chun's brother is the director of the Economic Supervision Department.

Sure enough, Chen Jie agreed, and called the chief of the third section to discuss the specific action plan.

After discussing with the three of them, they finally decided to start the operation last night.

Kobayashi excitedly returned to the chief judge position and brought the three section chiefs for interrogation.

There is no discrepancy between the two confessions, and the case can be closed.

"Zhou Linjun, arrest Chen Jie immediately!" Kobayashi ordered.

Zhou Lin was embarrassed and said, "Let me catch my top boss?" ”

"Don't want to catch? Still don't dare to catch? Xiao Lin stared at Zhou Lin.

"Good! I'll go! And what about the people of the Water Smuggling Squad? Zhou Lin thought of the anti-smuggling team on the water.

"Chang Liangjun will arrest him, so he doesn't need to bring it over, and he will send it directly to the gendarmerie."

Chang Liang liked it, and he wanted to take this opportunity to get some oil and water.

Zhou Lin took three gendarmes and ten security soldiers to Chen Jie's residence.

Zhou Lin asked the gendarmes and soldiers to wait for him outside the courtyard, and he knocked on the door and entered.

Chen Jie looked at Zhou Lin in astonishment, and Zhou Lin said in his ear: "Director, the matter of tobacco and soil has been committed, the third section chief has been arrested, and the people of the water anti-smuggling team have also been arrested. They confessed to you, and I was ordered to invite you to the gendarmerie headquarters. ”

"What's going on?" Chen Jie's wife was scared and cried.

Zhou Lin: "Director, the gendarmes and soldiers have been stopped by me, I can only help you so much, hurry up and call someone to help save you." Otherwise you're all done. In addition, let the sister-in-law hide with her property to prevent the house from being raided. ”

Chen Jie hurriedly ran to the phone and hurriedly made a few calls.

And his wife went to clean up the gold and silver, and did not spare a single silver dollar.

After finishing his work, Chen Jie explained to his wife and followed Zhou Lin out of the house.

When he got into the car, Chen Jie said softly to Zhou Lin: "Brother, I remember your kindness." As long as I don't die, I will repay you for your kindness today. ”

As soon as Zhou Lin took Chen Jie away, Chen Jie's wife sneaked away through the back door.

After another hour or so, a group of people came to raid the house, but there was no one.

As soon as Chen Jiejie arrived at the gendarmerie, he happily confessed his crime.

Since he did not collect money, the main thing was a plea call from the city party department, the city government, and Nanjing, and in the end he was only removed from his post and left idle at home.

Chen Chun was not so lucky, and was finally sentenced to ten years in the case of intercession. The chief of the three sections was sentenced to 15 years, and three more were convicted of the three divisions at the same time. That's an afterword.

Three days later, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Yamada returned to Pearl.

Zhou Lin was summoned to meet Yamada at the military police headquarters.

Yamada met Zhou Lin in the office and listened to Zhou Lin's report.

Originally, Xiao Lin would definitely report this matter, but Yamada still asked Zhou Lin to report it once.

After listening to the report, Yamada stared at Zhou Lin for a few minutes.

Zhou Lin was panicked: "Uncle Yamada, did I do something wrong?" ”

Yamada retracted his gaze: "I'll give you a task, don't leak it to anyone, if it leaks, I won't be able to save you." ”

Zhou Lin shrank his neck in fright: "Can I not take this task?" ”

"No, Pearl Chinese, I only believe you, so this matter must be yours."

"Willing to work for the agency!" Zhou Linli is making a statement.

"Your task is to sell the confiscated goods to the Taiwanese."

Yamada's words surprised Zhou Lin: "That's a smoke ......"

Yamada interrupted Zhou Lin's words: "Yes, you sold those cigarettes. The Imperial Army needs a lot of money now, and if these cigarettes are sold, they can cope for a while. ”

"How do I contact Taiwanese?" Zhou Lin asked.

"The owner of the goods here has been recruited, tomorrow, you go to the banquet building to connect with him." Speaking of this, Yamada rang the bell on the table.

After a while, a report sounded outside the door, and Kobayashi came in.

"Tomorrow, you and Zhou Lin will go to the banquet building." Yamada said.

"Yes! If they resist, can I capture and shoot them? Kobayashi asked.

"No! As long as the transaction is successful and the money is received, let them go. Maybe in the future we will have a deal with him. Yamada stated his intentions.
