On February 18, 1938, at 10 o'clock and two minutes, Pearl City "Black Coffee".

Zhou Lin sat at a table next to him, reading a newspaper.

The tables in the café are arranged in a triangle due to the shape of the room, and Zhou Lin is sitting at a table on the tip of the triangle.

Everyone in the café can be observed, but no one can get close to the triangular tip and overhear the conversation.

Zhou Lin habitually touched the table up and down and the chair with his hands.

No one is listening! Zhou Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

This morning, Zhou Lin saw a missing person notice in the newspaper.

"Looking for a little girl, named Flower Butterfly. Five-year-old, 70 cm tall, wearing a black coffee-colored garden top, and wearing cross drags on his feet. Those who know his whereabouts should report to the police. Thank you! ”

Zhou Lin couldn't help but be overjoyed, this was the organization calling for himself!

Flower butterfly is to find yourself; Seventy father-in-law, is an integer at ten o'clock on the hour; Wearing a black coffee-colored garden top, it means that the location is a "black café" restaurant.

A liaison person wanted to see him, and he met at the "Black Café" restaurant, and the time was 10 o'clock in the morning.

Zhou Lin cautiously came to the "black café" all the way, and there were very few coffee drinkers at this time, so Zhou Lin occupied the position of the triangle tip.

In the few minutes he sat down, Zhou Lin drank coffee and smoked cigarettes on the surface, looking careless, but his heart was tumbling.

He looked forward to this moment, to meet his "family", to accept the task.

At ten o'clock, a middle-aged man of forty-two or thirteen years old walked into the "black café".

Once inside, he glanced around, then walked aimlessly to the tip of the triangle.

"My husband's hobby is the same as mine, and he also likes cutting-edge." The visitor said with a smile.

This is the code word of the joint, and the person who comes sends the signal of the joint.

Zhou Lin replied in secret according to the pre-determined joint: "I like pointing, as if it is Sister Liang'er's jade finger." ”

"I looked at the tip but remembered my wife's deformed hand." The visitor was still smiling.

The joint was successful, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hahaha!" The two sat down laughing.

The conversation between the two was heard by everyone in the café.

A female guest sitting in the middle glared at the triangular tip and asked the man next to her, "Is my hand deformed?" ”

The man shook his head vigorously: "No! It's sharper than I knew you. ”

After everyone heard this, there was another burst of laughter, and the female guest ran away angrily.

Zhou Lin looked at the female guest who ran out, and said, "I'm waiting for you at the No. 15 pile by the river." ”

After speaking, Zhou Lin walked up to the man: "How can you say that she is rape?" Hahaha! ”

Looking at Zhou Lin, who was laughing out, the man also ran to chase the woman.

When the connector came to the No. 15 pile by the river, Zhou Lin, who was waiting there, beckoned, and the connector got into Zhou Lin's car.

"Hello! Comrade Butterfly! I'm your upline sent straight by the CIA. Externally, my name is Li Qiang, and internally, my title is Butterfly. The connector held out his hand.

"Hello! Comrade Li Qiang! Zhou Lin held Li Qiang's hand tightly, and suddenly, he came back to his senses: "You are also called Butterfly?" ”

"Yes, there is another comrade who is also called Butterfly, he is Butterfly No. 3, I am Butterfly No. 2, and you are Butterfly No. 1." Li Qiang replied.

Zhou Lin thought that maybe the name of their group was "Butterfly".

Li Qiang knew that Zhou Lin didn't understand, so he said: "From now on, you have to forget the title of butterfly, because from now on, I am a butterfly." All the external contacts, all the butterfly affairs, I am present. If I die, someone new will take over my job, and he will be called Butterfly. ”

Zhou Lin understood: "Then I ......"

Li Qiang said: "There will always be a bright butterfly in front of you, and someone will take over immediately if you sacrifice one." The enemy will never know that the real butterfly is you. ”

Zhou Lin's eyes were a little wet, and he knew that this was the comrades who were protecting themselves with their lives.

"Mr. Fang asked me to tell you that your batch of medicinal herbs has been taken away by the New Fourth Army. The comrades of the New Fourth Army want to give you credit. Li Qiang interrupted Zhou Lin's emotions.

Zhou Lin Yileng: "Didn't I let him sell the anti-inflammatory drugs after he left the city?" Replace it with money and bring it back, it is dangerous to bring medicine on your body! ”

Li Qiang sighed and said: "Knowing the danger, the chief will not sell those medicines, it is a life-saving medicine, the enemy blockade is tight, and there is a shortage of medicines, especially anti-inflammatory drugs." Your batch of anti-inflammatory drugs can save hundreds of soldiers. ”

Zhou Lin handed Li Qiang a cigarette: "Does the organization know?" My job has changed. ”

Li Qiang helped Zhou Lin light the fire and lit it himself: "The organization doesn't know!" I also arrived yesterday and found out the situation before I reported it. ”

Zhou Lin: "I have now been transferred to the Economic Supervision Department under the Economic Committee, a section chief, deputy director level. ”

Li Qiang said happily: "Okay! This coincides with the organization's arrangement. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Lin was puzzled.

"After Mr. Fang went back, he reported your situation to Vice Chairman Zhou. The central government has taken into account the predicament of our base area, as well as your relationship between the top and bottom of Mingzhu City. It was decided that the main task of our spy group in the early stage was to deliver urgently needed supplies to the base areas. ”

Zhou Lin said with a smile: "No wonder the fortune teller said that I was a lucky general, and as soon as I had an idea in the organization, I was transferred to the Economic Investigation Department." Not to mention, I've been talking about two deals in the past two days. ”

"What business?" Li Qiang asked.

"The Americans' batch of Pannidonglin was received by Chang Liang, the commander of the First Division of the Puppet Security Army."

"How many?"

"Tens of thousands, Chang Liang can't use so much by himself, he will definitely sell them on the black market."

"Is it possible to separate a batch from him?" Li Qiang asked.

"This guy is a reactionary, loyal to the Japanese." Zhou Lin shook his head: "But he is greedy for money, this is a loophole that can be exploited." However, it is better not to deal with the people of our group, they are very good. ”

Li Qiang nodded: "The superiors also have instructions, our task is to lurk, help you climb up, and let you become a bigger official." As for the delivery of supplies to the base areas, there is another team that is doing it, and we only provide information and they will come forward. ”

"After I get the radio station, I will notify the organization of this news, and let the organization send someone to see if I can buy some from Chang Liang's hand."

"These drugs were sold to Changliang by the Americans, and I was the introducer in the middle. If the organization needs it urgently, I'll ask Smith to give me another batch and go separately. Zhou Lin said.

"No, you'll be of a great use in the future, don't risk it now. With the Japanese fake intelligence network, as long as you have action, they will find out. You can't act on your own without organizational orders. ”

"Got it! The day before yesterday, I found a bookstore to be transferred, right next to the city telephone and telegraph office. It was relatively safe to send and receive telegrams to the outside world, and there was a telegraph office as a cover. You go and coil it down today and serve as our point of contact. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Lin handed Li Qiang a small bag, Li Qiang's hand was exactly the same, hard, and when he opened it, it was two hundred pieces of ocean.

"I've made a lot of money in the past, and I'll use it to fund your activities. I know that it is very difficult to organize, so in the future, we will not ask the organization for the expenses of our group, but we will solve it ourselves. Zhou Lin explained.

"Good! Then I'll take it. Li Qiang happily agreed.

"One more thing." Zhou Lin started the car.

"What's the matter?" Li Qiang didn't ask where the car went.

"The day before yesterday, Zhongtong killed my family, because I got the news in advance, my family escaped, and those Zhongtong killed three prisoners."

"They don't know who you are, and even if they do, they're going to do it even more. Zhongtong has always been the pioneer of the world. There is no way to resolve it, you have a blood feud with the Central Union. Li Qiang looked out of the car and said worriedly.

"I myself am not afraid of them, but I am afraid that my parents are in danger. So, within this week, I'm going to send them to the United States. ”

"I know about this, Mr. Fang said, and the organization agreed to send your parents to the United States. When I get in touch with the organization, I'll say by the way: My aunt is on board. ”

Zhou Lin nodded: "I'll take you to the place where the radio station is played now, and I will assign you a location." I go to the "Black Cafe" every morning, and from now on, we can meet there. There is a section of copper pipe sticking out under the toilet sink in the Black Cafe. If there's intelligence, the brass will face up, and if you twist it down, you can pour out the information. ”

"And what if it's an emergency?" Li Qiang is very careful.

"In an emergency, you call my office and say that there is a batch of sea salt to help. Note that a false voice must be used, and the call must be monitored. ”

"Gongzi Zhou, I have a batch of sea salt, can you give it a convenience?" Li Qiang immediately said it in a fake voice.

Zhou Lin said with a smile: "That's it, when I received the call, I went to the dead mailbox to get information." ”

"The address of the dead letter?"

Zhou Lin took out a map and clicked: "The corner of No. 55 and 56 Huangshi Road." ”

After the two connected, Zhou Lin took Li Qiang to see the place where the Tibetan radio station was located, and put Li Qiang down in a no-man's land.

After lunch, Zhou Lin returned to the investigation and punishment.

As soon as I returned, I was notified: a meeting.

The office of the investigation was not in the Economic Commission, but on Sanyuan Road, not far from the Investigation Department. The building was formerly a unit of the Kuomintang city government.

As soon as Zhou Lin entered the conference room, he immediately felt surrounded by smoke.

The first seat on the chair on the left was vacant, and Chen Jie, the director of the Economic Investigation Division, pointed to the empty seat for Zhou Lin to sit down.

"Everyone is here, let's have a meeting." Chen Jie coughed and spoke.

"There are three on today's agenda. First, the location of each section; second, the staffing of the various sections; Third, the appointment of personnel of the department. ”

The room fell silent, and these three were the most important things to sit in.

After investigation and investigation, it was established for three days, and the personnel were all transferred from various units.

Except for the Chief of Section and the three section chiefs, who were appointed by the Gendarmerie Command through the Economic Commission.

The rest of the people have to wait for the Commissioner's arrangement.

Therefore, the more than 50 people sitting in the conference room all looked at Chen Jie with their heads straight.

Chen Jie looked at everyone with satisfaction: "There is no deputy director in the department, and there is no deputy section chief in each section. We only have one chief in the department. ”

Zhou Lin saw everyone's disappointed eyes, many people sitting here were section chiefs in the original unit, and when they arrived here, the section chief was gone, so how could they not be disappointed.

Chen Jie also noticed everyone's expressions, and he dragged a long tone and said, "But ......"

As soon as they heard "It's not ......", everyone looked at Chen Jie.

"In the future, after investigation and handling, it is the section that directly performs the task, and the other units are called the office. For example, the logistics room, the inspection room, the statistics room, the confidential room, and the telecommunications room. There are five rooms in the headquarters, and oh, there is also an action team. Chen Jie finished slowly.

I don't know who was the first to slap the face, so there was a hot applause in the conference room.

Chen Jie pressed his hand down, and the applause stopped.

"I now announce the appointment of the directors of the offices. Wang Shandong! ”

A somewhat balding man in his thirties stood up: "Humble duty! ”

"Director of the Inspectorate. Responsible for supervising and investigating cases of disciplinary violations by personnel of the Economic Supervision Department. ”

"Thank you, Director, for your trust!" Wang Shandong saluted.

"Yang Yu!" Chen Jie's voice softened.

Yang Yu, the girl Zhou Lin once chased, stood up: "Humble duty!" ”

Yang Yu is the director of the telecommunications office. Responsible for listening to radio stations related to economic crimes, and cracking them, as well as the use of all means of "Chen Jie watching everyone". ”

The hearts of the people were sudden, and this "use of all means" was to indicate the monitoring and monitoring of internal personnel.

"Thank you, Director, for your trust!" Yang Yu saluted.

Subsequently, after Chen Jie announced the appointment of the chief captain of the four rooms and one team, he took a sip of water.

"There are unit-level positions in each section and the Action Team. But these positions must be decided based on your performance after you have officially taken up your job. I hope you will work hard. The locations of the sections are announced below. One subject. ”

Zhou Lin stood up: "Humble and orderly." ”

"A section of the checkpoint is at the pier. The largest port of entry and exit of Pearl is the wharf. It is hoped that Section Chief Zhou will be able to bring the economic supervision work of the wharf to a new level. Chen Jie didn't want Zhou Lin to go to the dock, but the Japanese military police command had a clear instruction to let Zhou Lin check at the dock, so he could only give up this piece of fat.

It seems that the oil and water on the dock can't flow into your pocket, so let's hold on to the other two sections.

In the end, it was decided that the second section would go to the railway station and be responsible for the material investigation at the railway station.

Sanke goes to Mingsu Highway, all goods in and out of Suzhou, Zhejiang are investigated by Sanke.

There are three sections, each with 100 men, including a reinforced platoon of armed investigators with 50 men. Of the other 50 people, 10 were plainclothes spies, and the remaining 40 were divided into two shifts to check the incoming and outgoing goods 24 hours a day.

The office space and equipment of each section have been put in place, and the more than 50 people in the conference room have been assigned to each department according to the list.

There were six people who walked out of the conference room behind Zhou Lin, including Bald Head and Wang Hu.

The other four must have Chen Jie's eyeliner, but Zhou Lin didn't care, with a bald head and Wang Hu staring, could they still go to the sky?

When they knew their relationship with the Japanese, they didn't dare to go against them if they borrowed his three guts. But secretly it's hard to say.
