Chapter 100: Undercurrents are surging
Zhu Hongda sat in his office, he looked up and sighed: I didn't expect that Shuxian's husband was Ouyang Rui he was looking for, it seems that this Ouyang Rui is not simple, he is actually related to the Chongqing Anti-Smoking Inspectorate, so what about Shuxian, she shouldn't be just an ordinary woman who only knows firewood, rice, oil and salt, who is she? What is her role in this case? Do you want to inform Yu Peiliang of Shuxian's situation? But once it is reported, then his relationship with Shuxian will be over, if it weren't for Shuxian saving him and risking him out of Jixiangli, he might have fallen into the hands of the Japanese.
Thinking of Shuxian, Zhu Hongda's heart ached a little, the woman he once had a crush on, a benefactor who rescued him from the tiger's mouth, how could he bear to harm her, but this matter must be figured out the ins and outs, it seems that only by staying at No. 18 Jixiangli and having close contact with Shuxian can he see his old love more clearly.
Yu Lin's wounds were basically healed, and he bid farewell to Political Commissar Huang and the doctors and nurses of the field hospital in the northern Jiangsu base area, and secretly sneaked back to Shanghai.
As soon as he walked to the intersection of Lafayette Road, Yu Lin smelled an invisible smell of gunsmoke, many years of agent career, he couldn't help but be alert, he looked at the side of the road, there were many unfamiliar faces wandering on this road, swaying back and forth, he immediately made a decision, and went directly to the light and shadow photo studio at No. 55 Luban Road.
In the evening, Yulin called Shuxian and asked Shuxian to come to the light and shadow photo studio.
Shuxian, who received the call, couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, she hurriedly dressed up and came to the light and shadow photo studio.
The tiger boy opened the door and saw that it was the young grandmother, and he was very excited: "Young grandmother, you are here, the young master is upstairs." ”
Shuxian nodded and walked upstairs.
Tiger Boy looked around vigilantly to see if there was anyone suspicious, and when he saw that everything was normal, he closed the door of the shop.
As soon as Shuxian saw Yulin, she hugged him excitedly.
"Yulin, you're finally back, how is your injury, let me see." Shuxian looked Yulin up and down.
"Shuxian, I'm fine." Yu Lin smiled indifferently.
Shuxian insisted on seeing Yulin's wound, but Yulin had to untie her shirt and show Shuxian the wound on her left arm. Shuxian looked at the flesh-red scar the size of a silver dollar on her left arm, and was very sad, and gently stroked Yulin's left arm with her hand.
"Does it still hurt?" Shuxian's eyes were full of distress
"I'm healed, you see, my left arm is still quite nimble." Yu Lin stretched out his left arm and made a big loop movement: "However, it may be almost impossible to pick you up with one hand now." ”
Shuxian chuckled: "It's still so indecent." ”
"Okay, Shuxian, I'm not going to joke with you, when I came back today, I saw that Lafayette Road was full of plainclothes and police, what the hell is going on?" Yu Lin turned to the topic, and his face became grim again.
"Yulin, I was about to tell you about this. Did you know that in the past few days of your absence, a lot of things have happened, and Taro Hashimoto, the head of the Japanese Special High School, was killed. Shuxian couldn't hide the excitement in her heart.
"Oh? Who did it? Yu Lin was also very surprised.
"It was the military commander who did it, do you know who it is? Say it, you know it. "Shuxian deliberately sold off the guanzi.
"Who is it? Say it quickly, Shuxian, don't hang my appetite. Yu Lin was desperate to know the answer.
"It's Shen Hanlin who lives in our east wing, in fact, his real name is not Shen Hanlin, he is my classmate at Aurora University, my senior brother Zhu Hongda." Shuxian excitedly reveals the answer, which still surprises Shuxian.
"It turned out to be him, why is it so coincidental?" Yu Lin also felt that this answer was too dramatic.
"In the early hours of that morning, he was shot in the shoulder and fled to Jixiangli, and then the police came to check his household registration, so I rescued him, deceived the police, and I took him to St. Mary's Hospital early in the morning, where Dr. Mark personally operated on him and took the bullet out. Now he should be safe. Shuxian briefly described what had happened to Yulin.
"Shuxian, you did the right thing, although the military unification directly persecuted us communists, but on the anti-Japanese united front, we should still support each other and help each other. You didn't reveal your identity. Yu Lin was worried that Zhu Hongda would find out Shuxian's true identity.
"No, I just said that you are a reporter from "Declaration", but Zhu Hongda has seen you."
"Seen me?" Yu Lin doesn't remember any Shuxian classmates he knows.
"Do you remember that after you retired from the 19th Route Army, you went to Aurora University to propose to me?" Shuxian prompted Yulin.
"I remember, could it be that the person who told me that you dropped out of school was Zhu Hongda?" Yulin immediately recalled that when he went to Aurora University to propose to Shuxian unsuccessfully, he met a classmate and told him about Shuxian.
"Yes, that's him." Shuxian nodded.
"That Shuxian, how much does Zhu Hongda know about your situation, does he know Shuyan, your twin sister?" Yu Lin is afraid that once Zhu Hongda knows about Shuyan, I am afraid that Shuxian will also be implicated.
"He shouldn't know Shuyan, because Shuyan followed Mingfeng to the countryside to participate in the armed riot, and my father and I went back to Shanghai, so naturally we wouldn't announce Shuyan's affairs to the public. Zhu Hongda didn't know that I still had a sister, and it was a twin sister. Shuxian said with certainty.
Yu Lin nodded, judging from the current judgment, Shuxian is still safe.
"Then when did Zhu Hongda join the military command?" Yu Lin wanted to know more about Zhu Hongda's situation.
"I heard Zhu Hongda say that he joined the Three Youth League after graduating from university, and soon after the establishment of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, he joined, and participated in several important assassination operations, and he is regarded as the backbone of the Shanghai Station, and he is now the captain of the action team of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command."
"I'm a little ominous to hear you say that." After listening to Shuxian's introduction, Yulin looked a little worried.
"What's wrong, Yulin?" Shuxian saw that Yulin was a little uneasy, and she couldn't help but get nervous.
"Shuxian, do you know, the batch of goods I shipped away this time is Du Xueqian's cousin Meng Ruoyu privately obtained contraband, if it weren't for the tight investigation above, he was unwilling to reduce the price by 30% and let me go to the buyer, and soon after arriving in Shanghai, Du Xueqian notified me to flee, saying that this batch of goods has been exposed, and the people from the inspection department are investigating the matter. Therefore, I hurriedly sent this batch of freight to northern Jiangsu. If the Chongqing Inspection Department wants to investigate to the end, it will definitely notify the Shanghai Station of the Military Command to investigate the case, and then this Zhu Hongda will definitely suspect me. ”
"What then? Will Zhu Hongda arrest you? Shuxian gasped when she heard Yulin's analysis.
"Don't worry, Shuxian, let me think." Yu Lin paced back and forth, thinking in his mind: "In this way, Shuxian, if Zhu Hongda comes to you and asks you about Du Lengding, you will push everything on Du Xueqian, I estimate that they will not be able to find Du Xueqian for a while, anyway, there is no evidence, so I will prevaricate first." ”
"Okay, I see."
"In this case, Shuxian, you stay here for one night, and I'll go home and get some clothes, and observe the surroundings by the way. These days I live in a photo studio first, and when things are a bit of an eyebrow, I go back in. Based on the current situation, Yulin decided to wait and see what happened.
"Yulin, why don't I go home and get you some clothes, will it be dangerous for you to go back now?" Shuxian is always worried about Yulin's safety.
"Now the Japanese and the police are looking for Zhu Hongda, it's not me, I'm fine, don't worry." Yu Lin smiled and patted Shuxian's hand and got up to leave.
"Then be careful yourself." Shuxian took Yulin's hand and gently reminded him.
Yu Lin nodded, then went downstairs and walked out of the photo studio and walked towards Jixiangli.
Yu Lin quietly walked into No. 18 Jixiangli alone. Now No. 18 is a lot more deserted, after Du Xueqian and Mrs. Du left, No. 18 seems to be a lot quieter, and I can no longer hear the Suzhou Pingtan that always lingers in my ears.
As soon as Yu Lin walked to the door of the pavilion, he saw Mrs. Xue washing clothes at the door of the house, and saw Yu Lin coming upstairs, looking at him with slanted eyes.
"Good evening, Mrs. Xue." Yu Lin took the initiative to greet Mrs. Xue.
"It's Nong, Mr. Ouyang, Mrs. Ouyang didn't come with Nong?" Mrs. Xue looked behind Yulin and didn't find Shuxian.
"She may have something going on at school and will come back later." Yu Lin explained to Mrs. Xue.
"Mr. Ouyang, Nong is finally back, I don't seem to have seen Nong for a few days." Mrs. Xue is quite concerned about Yulin.
"Yes, the newspaper asked me to go on a business trip, I just came back from Nanjing today, and the editor-in-chief asked me to go to Suzhou, I was so busy that I didn't even have the time to drink saliva. No, I'll get some clothes. Yu Lin prevaricated.
"The man is busy, but he can't leave it alone in this room, otherwise...... It's a war, Nong understands uh. Mrs. Xue had something to say, and she stopped talking.
Yu Lin was a little puzzled and looked at Mrs. Xue.
Seeing Yu Lin's ignorant look, Mrs. Xue hurriedly wiped her hands on the apron, stood up, and patted his arm: "Ah, how can Nong be like an Amulin, Nong will not be in the house all day and night, and Nong will not know if he is cuckolded by others." I'm kind enough to help Nong wake up, or for the sake of Mr. Nong Ouyang being a Sven Er, I won't be nosy. ”
Yu Lin suddenly realized at this time, knowing that when Shuxian rescued Zhu Hongda that day, she must have seen it for Mrs. Xue, so there was such a gossip.
"Mrs. Xue, no, my wife is a responsible person and will not do anything to be sorry for me. You must be mistaken. Yu Lin smiled and excused Shuxian.
"Nong, a nerd, a lonely man and a widow are in the same room in the middle of the night, not a cuckold for Nong, what are you doing, Nong, it's really unclear, I kindly reminded Nong, and I was nosy, okay, okay, if Nong doesn't believe it, I'll be a fart."
Mrs. Xue seemed a little angry, she didn't expect that Lu Yulin would ignore her kind reminder at all, she sighed, moved a basin of clothes back into the pavilion, and closed the door casually.
Lu Yulin shook his head, went upstairs and entered the west wing, he opened the bedroom window and looked at the dark east wing opposite, as if he wanted to see through it. His sixth sense told himself that another strong opponent had appeared.
