On May 9, it was already eight o'clock, and Zhou Lin hadn't gotten up yet.

Not only did he not get up, but even Xiangjun, who always got up early and insisted on exercising, did not get up.

Opening his eyes and looking at the clothes thrown on the ground, Zhou Lin hugged Xiangjun, kissed her on the face, and woke Xiangjun up.

"What time is it? It's eight o'clock! I haven't made breakfast yet. Xiangjun hurriedly got up.

But a feeling of pain made her lie down again: "It hurts! You're a cow! ”

Zhou Lin covered Xiangjun with a quilt, and then got up by himself: "You are not feeling well, I will do it." When it's done, serve it and you eat it in bed. ”

Xiangjun nodded happily, watched Zhou Lin clean up the bedroom, and then went downstairs.

When Zhou Lin came to the office, it was already half past eight.

At this time, Wu Bai, the chief of the second special section, was already waiting for him outside the office.

Zhou Lin beckoned, invited Wu Bai into the office, and sat opposite him.

"Director, we've found a big fish!" Wu Bai couldn't hold back his joy.

"How big is the fish? Which aspect? Zhou Lin's heart sank.

"According to reliable information, a senior general of the New Fourth Army entered Mingzhu City last night." Wu Bai took the cigarette handed by Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin's face changed, but fortunately, Wu Bai was lowering his head and lighting a cigarette, and he didn't notice Zhou Lin's expression.

"Is the information reliable?" Zhou Lin came back to his senses and asked.

"Reliable! It was my dark stake that called me this morning. ”

"What is the name of the senior general of the New Fourth Army? How many people are guarded? Zhou Lin stared and asked.

"Deputy Army Commander Ye Jun, there are ten people accompanying him, and all of them have entered Mingzhu City." Wu Bai's hand holding the cigarette trembled a little, he was excited, this is a great credit.

"Do you know why he entered the Pearl?" Zhou Lin wants to set up, Wu Bai knows how much.

"Ye Jun's left chest was once shot, the bullet was not removed, and it began to become inflamed a month ago. Only the Pearl Maria Hospital has the technology to perform the surgery. So the New Fourth Army sent someone to send him to Mingzhu for treatment. Wu Bai's words revealed a piece of news: his secret stake must be among the people who escorted Ye Jun on this trip.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have learned such detailed information.

"Do you know where they're staying?" Zhou Lin lit a cigarette and came to the front of the map, looking at the street near Maria's Hospital.

Wu Bai nodded to Phoenix Street, which is three blocks away from Maria's Hospital: "My dark pile said that they are at No. 37 Phoenix Street. ”

Zhou Lin looked at his watch: "Gather your people immediately!" I inform the Intelligence Section and the Operational Team to cooperate with your operations. ”

Wu Bai left in a hurry, and Zhou Lin shouted, "Bald, where is my gun?" ”

The bald man came in and said, "Director, didn't you put your gun in the office?" ”

Zhou Lin immediately walked outside: "You immediately notify the bald head and Zhang Ergou, and let them assemble the team in half an hour and come to my office, there is a task." I'll go back and get my gun. ”

With that, Zhou Lin started the car and drove home.

When I got home, I found Xiangjun sitting on the sofa, eating apples.

"Something's wrong?" Zhou Lin hurriedly said to Xiangjun.

Xiangjun slammed it, and the apple fell to the ground: "Husband, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Lin told Xiangjun about the situation, and when Xiangjun heard this, he hurriedly got up and got the car keys.

Zhou Lin grabbed Xiangjun: "Maybe the enemy has arranged eyeliner inside and outside the dock, and you will be exposed if you move." Be calm! Don't be impulsive! ”

"What then?" Xiangjun was so anxious that she almost cried.

Zhou Lin thought for a while and said, "You immediately call the Huangmei Drama Theater, chat with your sisters, and use the emergency contact method given by the organization to spread the information." Remember, don't say it explicitly, maybe our calls have been snooped on. ”

Xiangjun nodded and sent Zhou Lin out, and Zhou Lin hugged Xiangjun when he left.

After Zhou Lin left, Xiangjun answered the phone from the Huangmei Drama Theater.

The person who answered the phone was a friend of Xiangjun and an underground party comrade.

"Magnolia, I had a nightmare last night and couldn't sleep anymore when I woke up." Xiangjun means that there is an emergency.

Magnolia understood, so she asked, "What nightmare?" ”

"I dreamed that my grandfather came to me." Xiangjun is telling Yulan that the enemy knows that we have high-ranking cadres to come to Mingzhu.

Yulan was shocked: "How did your grandfather find you?" ”

Xiangjun also said in a surprised tone: "How do I know how he found me, maybe my relatives said it." ”

This is a message: among the people with whom the chief is accompanied, there is a hidden stake of the enemy.

Yulan saw the class master coming, so she said to Xiangjun: "The class master is here, you can talk to him for a while, everyone is guessing, when will you give birth to a daughter." ”

"Why do you want to have a girl? Is it bad to have a son? Xiangjun asked.

"My daughter can take over your class!" The head of the class took the phone and chatted with Xiangjun.

And Yulan sneaked out of the theater, called a rickshaw, and rushed to Li Qiang.

"What's so urgent?" The bookstore had no customers, and Li Qiang did not bring Yulan into the inner courtyard.

"The enemy knows that we have a chief who has come to Pearl." Magnolia said softly.

"How do you know?" The hairs on Li Qiang's body stood up.

"The chief's people who have enemies around him are either traitors or spies. And the enemy knows the address and will soon act. ”

When Li Qiang heard this, he immediately said to Yulan: "You help me take care of it, and I'll go back when I go." ”

After saying that, he rushed to the backyard, and regardless of the danger during the day, he came to the newspaper house.

Soon, the Central Committee received a telegram from Li Qiang and immediately inquired about the New Fourth Army.

The New Fourth Army reported the situation to the Central Committee and contacted Ye Jun's accompanying radio station.

Fortunately, due to vigilance, Ye Jun changed his residence at half past six this morning, and the accompanying personnel were all in the new hospital, and no one went out.

When the telegraph operator presented the secret telegram to Ye Jun, Ye Jun was glad that he had decided to change rooms temporarily.

At the same time, a net was also opened, waiting for the appearance of the dark pile.

And on the dock, Yamada, who received the report, sent the small forestry department to participate in the operation.

At nine o'clock, all the men and horses of the various teams arrived, and Zhou Lin ordered to set off.

At the same time, the police department also received an order to quickly block several streets near Phoenix Street, which could only enter but not exit.

Zhou Lin led the team to No. 37 Phoenix Street and immediately surrounded No. 37.

After shouting, there was no movement, and Kobayashi ordered someone to rush in.

The man who rushed in quickly retreated: "There was no one in the house. ”

Zhou Lin and his group entered No. 37 and found that the house was in good order, leaving no traces, not like a temporary retreat.

Xiao Lin walked around the house and ordered, "Call the people next door or so over and ask who knows about the situation on the 37th." ”

After a while, several people were brought in, all of them from the neighborhood.

"Do you know where the people who live here go?" Wu Bai asked.

A middle-aged woman said: "When I was dropping off my son to set up a stall in the morning, I saw two cars parked at Gate 37. It was as if they had left in a car. ”

"What time is the morning?" Wu Bai asked.

"Half past six in the morning. My son goes to the stall at this time every day. ”

Zhou Lin asked Wu Bai: "What time is the phone call from your people?" ”

Wu Bai said with certainty: "At six o'clock in the morning, I answered the phone. ”

"What time did you report?" Kobayashi asked.

"I woke up in the morning and had diarrhea several times. It was only at half past eight o'clock that he reported to the commissioner. Wu Bai actually waited outside Zhou Lin's office for more than half an hour, but he didn't say anything.

"Why don't you report over the phone?" Kobayashi was furious.

Wu Bai actually wanted to say that he had called the director, but no one answered.

But he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to say it if he was given ten dares.

Zhou Lin persuaded Xiao Lin who was angry: "It's not safe to use the phone!" And the enemy withdrew at half past six in the morning. It's a phone call, and we can't make it to half past six. ”

Several people nodded at the same time, Zhou Lin's words made sense.

"Could it be that your people are exposed? They just transferred. The bald head asked Wu Bai.

"I didn't get exposed before I called, and I didn't know about it after the call. Judging from the speed of this transfer, it is estimated that there is more luck than luck. Wu Bai felt very uncomfortable, and finally broke in and was reused by the New Fourth Army, but the result was exposed. It's not worth it.

"What are you doing with your head down? Didn't he just let him take the lead? As long as others are still in Pearl City, he can't escape! Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will dig him out. Zhou Lin looked at the group and said.

"That's right! The pearl is good in and not out! Besides, he is still a seriously ill man. Kobayashi reported back to Yamada at this time: "The head of the agency ordered: strictly control large and small hospitals and clinics, and strictly control pharmacies." Block all passages in and out of the Pearl and organize police forces to search the entire Pearl City. We must arrest the high-ranking cadres of the Communist Party! ”

With Yamada's order, the atmosphere in Pearl City became tense.

On the surface, many military and police officers set up posts to inspect and inspect, but secretly many ghostly people are active in the streets and alleys of Pearl City.

At ten o'clock in the evening, in No. 34 Lotus Lane, a dilapidated house that once affected Zhou Lin's life, Ye Jun, who was helped up, answered a phone call.

The call was made by the person in charge of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee, who told Ye Jun that in an hour, they would be transferred to a secret location, where a doctor would operate on Ye Jun.

Ye Jun, who answered the phone, thought of an idea in his heart.

After putting down the phone, Ye Jun gathered all the people: "Due to the leakage of news, the enemy knew that I had come to Mingzhu, and the person in charge of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee informed that in three hours, we would be transferred out of Mingzhu and sent to Suzhou for treatment." Everyone be prepared, it is strictly forbidden to go out during this time. ”

After speaking, Ye Jun was sweating profusely, and the pain flared up again.

A few people who were close to him escorted Ye Jun back upstairs, and the other few people entered the courtyard to guard, and only two remained in the hall.

A section chief named Zhang Long said to another person: "You are about to retreat, you go and check your luggage, don't leave anything behind, alert the enemy." ”

The other said yes and left the hall.

Zhang Long walked towards the second floor, and when he arrived at the second floor, after observing the second floor for a few times, he quickly retreated to the door of the first floor and looked at the compound.

Then he walked quickly to the telephone and dialed it.

"Hey! Is it the five? Wu Bai's voice came from inside the phone.

"I'm number five! Ye Jun is now at No. 34 Lotus Lane, and he will be transferred in three hours, and he will leave Pearl City after leaving this time. Zhang Long quickly finished speaking.

When he put down the phone, he froze.

At some point, he was already surrounded by two people.

Zhang Long immediately swung his fist at the person on his left hand, preparing to force the opponent to retreat and take the opportunity to escape.

However, in the end, he was defeated by the combined attack of the two masters, and Zhang Long was captured.

Ye Jun came down to the first floor at this time, looked at Zhang Long and asked, "Why do you want to betray the revolution?" ”

Zhang Long struggled a few times, but it had no effect at all, so he gave up: "I was originally a person from the Central Union, why do you want to rebel." ”

By the time the people around him discovered the abnormality, Zhang Long had already bitten his dentures, and the poison in the dentures entered his mouth, and he died of poisoning immediately.

"Retreat!" Ye Jun gave the order!

A group of ten people slipped out of No. 34 Lotus Lane and disappeared into the night.

Half an hour later, Zhou Lin and Xiaolin led a large team of men and horses to surround No. 34 Lotus Lane.

Encountering no resistance, the group entered the 34th and entered the hall.

Upstairs and downstairs, there were no people from the New Fourth Army, only a corpse lying on the ground.

"What did he say?" Zhou Lin asked Wu Bai.

"He said this address, and also said that Ye Jun and they will move in three hours, and they will leave Pearl City after leaving this time." Wu Bai said angrily.

"Three hours? I'm afraid that after he called you, he would be discovered, and the result was that he died and the New Fourth Army ran away. The head of the special section gloated.

Zhou Lin stopped the bickering between the two: "Maybe he wasn't exposed before this, because Ye Jun was about to leave, and he was in a hurry, so he had to take the risk of reporting to the outside world." But he didn't know that the phone was the most insecure, and he was exposed. ”

Xiao Lin also agreed with Zhou Lin's analysis: "It's only been half an hour since I called, and they can't fly out even if they have wings." Inform all gates to retreat immediately and not let anyone go. ”

Zhou Lin also wanted to transfer these people around him, so that Ye Jun could be transferred safely. So he also issued an order: "The Ground Patrol and the Special Section 2 will immediately return to the dock to set up control, and the Action Team and the Special Section 1 will go to the railway station and inform the Coast Guard that no ships will be allowed to move before dawn." Those who disobey orders are to be sunk immediately. The Intelligence Section went to the Minsu Highway and beware of them escaping from the Highway. ”

Zhou Lin and Xiao Lin returned to the office at the dock and waited for news from everywhere.

Zhou Lin and Xiao Lin sat in the office drinking tea, and Yamada called twice in the middle.

Yamada scattered the people from the Detective Department, the Operations Department, and the Intelligence Department, but there was still no news of Ye Jun and his party, as if they had escaped.

After dawn, Yamada also came to the dock, accompanied by Zhou Chang and the director of the Operations Department.

A few people were in the office, drinking porridge and eating a simple breakfast.

"Where do you think Ye Jun is now?" Yamada asked.

"Could it be that they escaped from Mingzhu after killing the dark stake." said the Chief of Operations.

"From the time I received the call to the time I ordered the gate to close, there were only thirty-five minutes. And from Lotus Lane to the nearest pass, it takes an hour to drive fast. So, they don't have time to leave the country. Zhou Lin talked about his views.

This reasoning is sound! They did not leave the pearl, it must have been a retreat at the pass, blocking them in the pass. Zhou Chang agreed.

"The pearls are the biggest, how can we catch them?" said the Chief of Operations.

"If you want me to say anything, if we go and search for them, it is better to wait for them to fall into the net." Zhou Changbei smiled.

"You mean, they always have to come out of the pearl, so we will wait for the rabbits at the gate and wait for them to come to the door." Zhou Lin understood what Zhou Chang meant.

At this time, Yamada spoke: "Zhou Changjun's suggestion is very good!" The pearl is so big, it's easy to hide one person, but it's hard to find one. We withdrew our investigators as losers, secretly controlled the pass, and when they thought it was calm and wanted to sneak out, they just fell into our layout. ”
