Chapter 165: At stake
Yu Lin also left the photo studio, he was in a flying mood along the way, Ming Feng succeeded in his rebellion, and he was about to return to Shanghai; The enemy's radio station has been shut down, which means that the chameleon's hands and feet have been cut off; Finding out the location of the arsenal in order to blow up the arsenal at Takahashi and pulling out a point of fire for our troops to cross the river all indicate that the dawn is coming.
As soon as she got home, Yu Lin passed on the information brought by Mei Zhijie to Shuyan, and Shuyan was also very excited after hearing it.
"Yulin, I feel that the dawn of victory is getting closer and closer to us." Sook-yeon couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.
"Shuyan, the more you get to the end, the more crazy the enemy becomes, we have to be ready, I hope you can accept my opinion and leave Shanghai as soon as possible." Yulin is still worried about Shuyan's safety.
"Yulin, I hope I can help you share some of it." Shuyan insisted on her opinion, at this time, she couldn't and didn't want to leave Yulin, the more this time, the more she couldn't put the burden on Yulin alone: "After all, you and I are a nominal husband and wife, and I must be with you through thick and thin." ”
"Thank you, So-yeon." Looking at Shuyan's determined gaze, Yulin felt a warm current surging over her heart. He held Shuyan's hands tightly: "Okay, just do what you want." I'll be reviewing the manuscript at the newspaper office tomorrow morning, and I'll go to Pudong Gaoqiao in the afternoon to see what the arsenal is going to do. ”
Early in the morning, Ah Long came to report the situation to Tan Jingting.
"Director Tan, last night, a medium-sized young man of about thirty years old hurriedly ran into the light and shadow photo studio, and not long after that, Mr. Ouyang also went. They stayed inside for about a quarter of an hour, and then the man left, and I asked Ah Xiang to follow, and Ah Xiang said that he followed him all the way to the ferry port of Yangjiadu in Pudong. He saw the man enter a canopy boat. Because it was too dark, I couldn't see the specific appearance of this person. Mr. Ouyang later returned to No. 18 Jixiangli. ”
"Very well, Aaron, you have worked hard with the brothers, and you still have to keep an eye on this point. Give these two cigarettes to the brothers. Tan Jingting handed two camel brand cigarettes to Ah Long.
"Thank you, Director, for the reward." Aaron smiled and walked out with a cigarette.
"Could this medium-sized person be Mei Zhijie, the head of the investigation section mentioned by the chameleon? He came to find Lu Yulin's joint? Tan Jingting played with a switchblade in his hand.
At this time, the phone rang, and it was a colleague from Jiangyin from the Secrecy Bureau who called and told Tan Jingting that he had not found a person named Hu Jiachen who opened a silk cloth village.
This result was already expected by Tan Jingting. He sneered and threw the switchblade out of the way, pinning it exactly where the Ten Rings of Red Hearts were on the dartboard.
"Report, there's a man in rags who wants to see you, Director." An orderly walked in.
"Who wants to see me?" Tan Jingting frowned, a person dressed in tatters? Who could that be?
"It's like a guy asking for food, I didn't let him in, he didn't have the relevant documents, but he gave me this, let me give it to you." The orderly handed a piece of paper to Tan Jingting.
Tan Jingting unfolded it and saw that a lizard was drawn on it, and Tan Jingting immediately understood.
"Bring him to me at once." Tan Jingting gave instructions to the orderlies.
"Yes." The orderly did not dare to slack off, and hurried to invite the man in tattered clothes to come in.
Tan Jingting put the paper on the desk and looked at it carefully: "The painting is quite similar." ”
After a while, a sloppy man wearing a torn straw hat on his head, a pair of torn cloth shoes on his feet, and a tattered shirt walked in. When the man entered, he immediately locked the door. Then he took off his straw hat, revealing an unkempt face.
"You're Director Tan, aren't you?" The visitor asked alarmedly.
"You're a chameleon?" Tan Jingting looked at the person in front of him, and there was a world of difference from the senior undercover agent he imagined.
"Exactly down there." The chameleon nodded.
"How did you disguise yourself like this?" Tan Jingting looked up and down at this senior undercover agent, Comrade Chameleon.
"My spy team was wiped out by the communist army, and I fled from the base area in northern Jiangsu only by dressing up as a beggar." The chameleon picked up Tan Jingting's teacup and drank it.
"Our spy team was wiped out by the communist army? How do they know we have undercover agents inside them? Tan Jingting didn't expect that the spy team in the northern Jiangsu base area, which had been painstakingly operated for many years, had been eliminated, no wonder there had been no news of the chameleon for several days.
"I don't know about this, but judging from the frequent travel between Jiangsu and Shanghai by their investigation section chief Mei Zhijie, they do not use the radio station, but rely on manpower to transmit intelligence, which shows that they already know that they have undercover agents inside."
"Comrade Chameleon, you have worked hard, I will let the orderly take you to take a bath first, rest and rest." Tan Jingting felt that what the chameleon needed most at this time was to take a hot shower and change into clean clothes.
"Don't be busy yet, I still have something to explain to you first. This matter is urgent. The chameleon put the teacup back on Tan Jingting's table.
"Okay, you can say it."
"First, Xu Mingfeng and some other Communists tried to plot against the Jiangyin fortress, the specific results are not yet known, but it is said that he stole a map of the Yangtze River defense force deployment and combat plan, which was originally directly delivered to the base area in northern Jiangsu, but now we have cut off all communication lines between Jiangyin and northern Jiangsu, so he has to make a detour to Shanghai and send this map to northern Jiangsu. He came to Shanghai to meet the jellyfish at the end of this month, but the exact time and place are uncertain. This is a secret report sent by the Jiangyin underground party to northern Jiangsu, which I saw by accident. ”
"Okay, this information is important, I see." Tan Jingting didn't expect the chameleon to bring him such important information.
"Second, you check this person." The chameleon takes off the cloth shoe, tears the sole of the shoe, and pulls out a photo from the inside.
Tan Jingting picked up the photo and took a closer look, it turned out that this was a photo of a grave, and the tombstone read: The tomb of his beloved wife Xu Shuxian.
Tan Jingting was surprised, looked at the photo, and then looked at the chameleon.
"This is Yue Lin's wife, whom I once mentioned to you, was killed in the process of transporting cultural relics, and this is the tombstone that Yue Lin erected for his wife. Recently, northern Jiangsu has been engaged in activities to commemorate the martyrs, and this photo is what I found from their propaganda materials. Originally, I wanted our people to send them over, but unfortunately it was a step too late, and they were captured by the Communist Party. Did you find that Yue Lin? ”
"Not yet, but, hearing you say that, I'd like to ask you to confirm these people." Mr. Tam felt that the information provided by the chameleon was very valuable, and perhaps could make a breakthrough with the object of his current suspicions.
Tan Jingting took out a few photos and handed them to the chameleon.
"This person is Xu Mingfeng." The chameleon pointed to the photo taken at the coach station and confirmed it bluntly and unequivocally.
"What are you talking about, this person is Xu Mingfeng?" Tan Jingting didn't expect that Xu Mingfeng, who he had been tracking, was the one who hugged Miss Xu at the station.
"Yes, he came to northern Jiangsu from Shandong, and from northern Jiangsu to Shanghai, I have seen him, he has a close relationship with that political commissar Huang, who is responsible for liaising with the northern Jiangsu base area and the underground party organization in Shanghai, didn't I call to say that Xu Mingfeng came to Shanghai? Have you received this telegram? ”
"Yes, however, there was limited information at the time, and this person was not found. And what about this person? Tan Jingting pointed to the two men he photographed across the road.
"This front is Xu Mingfeng, and that back is not very certain." The chameleon scrutinized it.
Tan Jingting hurriedly took out the photo taken with Lu Yulin in front of the Whampoa Military Academy from the drawer and handed it to the chameleon for identification.
The chameleon took it and looked at it, and said with certainty: "This person is Yue Lin." It was the one who was injured on the way to transport twenty boxes of Du Lengding to northern Jiangsu, and I also went to the field hospital with Political Commissar Huang to visit him. It was also he who transported the cultural relics, and it is said that Tian Jiaqi, the president of the bank during the Anti-Japanese War, was also sent out of Shanghai by him. I heard that this person used to be very good in Guangdong, he was the deputy captain of the Dongjiang Column, Xu Mingfeng's right-hand man, and was wanted by the Japanese army that year. ”
"But his name is Lu Yulin, not Yue Lin." Tan Jingting was a little puzzled, could it be that Lu Yulin had other pseudonyms?
"I heard Political Commissar Huang keep calling him Comrade Yue Lin, this should not be a pseudonym." The chameleon pondered for a moment: "I understand, Political Commissar Huang is from Hunan, he has a strong Hunan accent, Yu Lin, Yue Lin, almost, it must be him." ”
"I see. Comrade Chameleon, you have worked hard, go and rest first. ”
All the mysteries were solved by the chameleon one by one, but he didn't expect that the Communist Party spy master who had been pursuing the Secret Bureau for many years turned out to be his good brother - Lu Yulin.
"Okay. I'm going to have to get some rest, and I'll see your stationmaster when I'm done showering. The chameleon looked tired, and the journey was full of hardships.
Tan Jingting called the orderlies and asked him to take the chameleon to the public bathroom to take a bath. The orderly took the chameleon out of the office, and Shuyan just opened the door and came out of the confidential room, and saw a person asking for food coming out of Tan Jingting's office, and Tan Jingting was a little respectful to him, and felt a little strange.
She thought about it, returned to the confidential room, took out the Cantonese opera record that Yulin had bought from the Temple of Literature from the cloth bag, and walked towards Tan Jingting's office.
Tan Jingting was completely defeated, he never thought that his brother with a different surname, Xiao Linzi, who had lived and died with him, turned out to be the formidable Communist Party spy officer, whether his wife was the Shuxian in front of him or the Shuxian in the grave, if the dead one was real, then who is this living now? If the current one is true, then who is it that one is buried in the grave? Tan Jingting's mind was blank at this time, and he didn't want to believe that everything the chameleon said was true. He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
"Director Tan, are you tired?" Shuyan saw Tan Jingting's eyes closed, and called softly.
Tan Jingting opened his eyes and saw Xu Shuxian standing in front of him, Tan Jingting couldn't help but stir up and blurted out: "Who are you?" ”
"Director Tan, what's wrong with you? Have a nightmare? Why don't you even know me? I'm Xu Shuxian. Shuyan was very puzzled when she saw Tan Jingting's frightened expression, in her eyes, Tan Jingting was always so calm and unhurried.
"Are you Xu Shuxian?" Tan Jingting blinked his eyes vigorously, and then rubbed his eyes with his hands, he couldn't tell if it was the real Xu Shuxian in front of him.
"How does Director Tan seem to be evil, you see, this is what Yulin bought from the Temple of Literature, and the Cantonese opera record that Sister-in-law Osmanthus likes to listen to, I specially brought it to you."
"Oh, thank you!" Tan Jingting woke up like a dream and hurriedly thanked him.
"Then I'm leaving." Shuyan handed the record to Tan Jingting, but the afterglow of her eyes fell on the white paper on the desk with lizards drawn.
Shuyan somewhat understood, the person in tattered clothes just now was a chameleon, Yulin said that Subei had cracked an enemy spy organization, but the undercover chameleon had not been found, this undercover agent must be the beggar in tattered clothes who went out of Tan Jingting's office just now.
