Speaking of this, Minister Chen stood up, he was a little anxious.

"I want to send this news back to Wuhan as soon as possible, so that the headquarters can investigate and analyze what may happen. Now I decide, agree with your plan. I will arrange for someone to come to Mingzhu to meet you. I understand what you mean, he is our man, but on the surface he is indeed a small warlord with a few thousand men, and he has been investigated by the Japanese. Minister Chen began to assign tasks.

"Then our relationship ......"

"He doesn't know about your relationship with us, and we'll just tell him and claim to have bought you off. At the same time, we will inform the Taiwanese tobacco dealers to continue the trade and let them come to the pier where Pearl worships you. ”

Zhou Lin nodded: "As long as they contact me, I will report to Yamada." ”

"Be careful! Let me tell you that if the situation is not good, you don't want anything, and immediately withdraw and go back to Wuhan. This is the premise, he doesn't want you to die, he wants to be able to see you then. Minister Chen said in a controlled tone.

"Yes! So is our contact still through Yang Kun? Zhou Lin asked.

"It's still through him, but in code, don't let him know about our tobacco business, and don't let others know about it, neither Dai Li nor Mao Yimin can know. The stakes are too high, and if it gets out, it will have a very bad impact on our government. In order to resist the war, we had to do this. In order to hide people's eyes, in the future, we will call the tobacco rock candy. ”

Subsequently, Minister Chen discussed the contact method with Zhou Lin.

If there is an urgent military situation, it will be through Yang Kun and declare that the direct recipient is Minister Chen.

In the end, Minister Chen confessed one thing that surprised Zhou Lin.

"Do you want to sacrifice both of them?" Zhou Lin was embarrassed.

"It's not a sacrifice! One of the two of them must have a problem, and most likely both. We are ready to expose this traitor. As for the other one, I can only say sorry, because this is our plan, a plan for you to grow. Not only the two of them, but in the future, there will be people in the Central and Military Commanders who will sacrifice for your growth. Minister Chen said in a heavy tone.

"Yes, I swear! I want to be right for their efforts! Zhou Lin stood up.

"Remember those comrades who sacrificed, this plan will be implemented tomorrow!"

Minister Chen was leaving, and he instructed Zhou Lin to wait twenty minutes after he left before leaving.

And he himself quickly left, disappearing out of Zhou Lin's sight.

At 8:40 minutes, Zhou Lin returned to the dock and returned to the house.

At 8:50 a.m., Zhou Lin left the room and lay in the dark outside the office building for ten minutes.

After making sure that no one was staring at him, Zhou Lin went to the wooden house, drove the speedboat to the back of the telegraph office, and then jumped into the bookstore.

Li Qiang was already waiting for Zhou Lin, and there was already good hot tea on the table.

Zhou Lin hurriedly reported the situation to Li Qiang.

"You mean it's Chen ** who met with you?"

"You're saying he's going to be in the tobacco business?"

"You mean he asked you to take out the lair of the Pearl Zhongtong?"

Li Qiang was shocked by the news and asked a series of questions.

Zhou Lin didn't speak again, just nodded.

Li Qiang sat down, wrote down all Zhou Lin's reports, and then asked Zhou Lin to read it again, and asked Zhou Lin to correct anything wrong.

In the end, he took the revised manuscript and let Zhou Lin read it again.

After confirming that it was correct, Li Qiang asked Zhou Lin to help him guard the store, and he flashed out of the hospital.

After running quickly for fifteen minutes, Li Qiang came to a private house.

A thirty-year-old man in the house greeted Li Qiang, and the two walked into the basement together.

"It's an A-class cipher!" Li Qiang said.

As soon as he heard the A-level secret telegram, the man immediately retreated and guarded the outside of the cave.

According to the organization's regulations, the A-level secret message must be personally shot and sent by Li Qiang.

Li Qiang took a deep breath, sat down, and sent a telegram seriously.

After sending out the secret telegram, Li Qiang took out the match on his body, burned the original, threw it on the ground, and sharpened it vigorously with his shoes until there were no ashes on the ground.

At this time, the Yan'an Neidie team received this cipher telegram marked as A-level.

This is the first Class A cipher sent by the Outer Butterfly Group. They hurriedly gave it to Mr. Fang.

When Mr. Fang saw that the cipher was not translated, he knew that it was A-level.

He took out the code book and translated it word by word for more than half an hour.

After reading it, he also went to Vice Chairman Zhou's house to report to Vice Chairman Zhou despite the fact that it was already past midnight at this time.

After reading it, Vice Chairman Zhou hurriedly ran to No. 1's house.

The two sat in the heavily guarded cave and watched the code.

"I can't imagine that someone Chen is anti-* positive, and he is also active in selling tobacco and soil." Number One said smoking a cigarette.

"Without someone's consent, he would not dare to lend him ten dares." Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"Looks like *someone's life isn't having a good time, either! In the past, he had always been a strong opponent of tobacco, but now that he has no money, he has turned his opposition into a transaction. ”

"What are we going to do?" Vice Chairman Zhou asked.

"If we make this matter public and raise objections, someone will only be uncomfortable for a while, and soon many people will support him because he is doing this for the sake of China's war of resistance. Little impact on him. But our Comrade Xiao Zhou is in danger. ”

"Yes! Only he, Chen, and Jiang knew about this. The news is out, who else is not him? Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"So, let's just look at it! Only the five of us in our party know about it, and we can't expand it any further, because if it does, the risk will be great. We must protect Comrade Xiao Zhou. "No. 1 has taken protective measures against Zhou Lin.

"How do we talk?"

"The lotus flower is not stained out of the sludge! Let him do it as a task and not have a psychological burden. However, he must be told that all the remuneration he has received in this matter must be handed over to the central government, and that in the future, if someone finds out about it, we can speak for him. "One is very thoughtful, not only for the present, but also for the future.

"I'm wondering, has someone started the Passage Project?" Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"It's entirely possible! As long as Xiao Zhou opens up the passage of tobacco soil, other passages will become more and more open. It seems that someone is tempting, testing Zhou Lin to have a few catties and taels. Once Zhou Lin succeeded, he would enter his eyes, and he would treat Zhou Lin as a treasure. Number One laughed.

"But he didn't know that this treasure was our treasure!" Vice Chairman Zhou smiled.

Soon, Li Qiang received instructions from the central government, and Li Qiang came back to convey instructions to Zhou Lin.

"Remember, you're just on a mission! Our party organization will not say that you are a drug dealer. And only five people in the party know about it, including you. Li Qiang comforted.

"Please rest assured that I will not be a drug dealer." Zhou Lin said.

"As for Zhongtong giving you a gift, the organization said that if you accept his gift, you won't receive his affection." Li Qiang said, and he also smiled.

"I promise to do it: I don't accept his favor if I accept his gift." Zhou Lin's mood improved.

"Don't be soft-hearted! These two people in the Pearl Central Command have the blood of our comrades on their hands, and if it weren't for the joint resistance against Japan, I would have wanted to kill them a long time ago. ”

Zhou Lin heard Li Qiang's gritted teeth.

After returning, it was already three o'clock, and Zhou Lin was lying on the bed thinking about how to receive the gift.

If one of them is a traitor, then he will sue the gendarmerie command himself, and they will also suppress it, and it will not be done.

Only by staggering the Japanese can we do what we want.

However, there is nothing in Yamada's impression that he didn't report?

Report? Yes, find a way to report. If you report it yourself, Yamada is not there, or you can't find Yamada, and you are afraid that the central elements will escape, you can act.

Zhou Lin, who figured it out, soon fell asleep.

March 15, the thirteenth day of the Lunar New Year.

After Zhou Lin had lunch, he went to Taohua Street, where the Central Unification Group was located, and took a turn.

After coming back, Zhou Lin went directly to the detective department.

Seeing Zhou Lin, many people greeted him: "Director Zhou, go back to your parents' house?" ”

Zhou Lin smiled and said, "Deputy Director, it's the Deputy Director." ”

"Smack!" Zhou Lin's shoulder was slapped hard.

"Come back to show off?" It was Xiang Hua, looking at Zhou Lin with his eyes wide.

Zhou Lin scolded: "Lao Tzu is in the detective office, you said that Lao Tzu blocked your way." I couldn't provoke me to hide, so I hid, but why haven't you been a deputy director? ”

"Are you hiding? Obviously fell into the oil pan. I heard that the bald head became the deputy section chief, and the salary plus bonus was 150 oceans a month, which was five or six times my monthly income. I said, why didn't you bring me with me in the first place? ”

"What's the noise? Why don't you hurry up and ask Director Zhou to come in. I have arrived at Zhou Chang's office, and Zhou Chang's voice came from the office.

"Big brother! What Director Zhou? A deputy director, count a ball. Zhou Lin walked into Zhou Chang's office with Xiang Hua.

Zhou Chang smiled and poured a cup of Tieguanyin for Zhou Lin: "I know you like to drink, so I'll leave it for you." ”

Zhou Lin took a sip and closed his eyes: "Good tea!" ”

"What good tea? I feel the same. Xiang Hua took a sip and said.

"You're a ball!" Zhou Chang and Zhou Lin scolded in unison.

"How did you come up with the idea of coming back and going around?" Zhou Chang asked casually.

Zhou Lin hinted to Xiang Hua to look outside the door, Xiang Hua looked at it strangely, and came back and said: "No one, in the detective department, who dares to eavesdrop on Director Zhou's secret." ”

Zhou Chang found out that something was wrong, and hurriedly sat down beside Zhou Lin: "Brother Lin, is it a good thing or a bad thing to tell my brother?" ”

Xiang Hua also tied Zhou Lin's arm on the other side: "Good things and bad things are things, say!" ”

Zhou Lin opened his mouth gently, and both of their ears were attached to Zhou Lin's mouth.

"I've discovered the lair of the Zhongtong Pearl Group."

"Ahh Zhou Chang and Xiang Hua shouted in unison, and the screams startled Zhou Lin.

"Really!" As if they were afraid that Zhou Lin would escape, the two grabbed Zhou Lin's hand again.

"Can you let it go? I came to tell you the news, but you look like you're going to kidnap me. Zhou Lin raised his hand.

The two of them hurriedly let go, and all three sat down.

"You didn't report to Chief Yamada?" Zhou Chang asked.

"I called the director and said he was going to a meeting. I was afraid that the people in the central system would be transferred, so I came to give the credit to the eldest brother. You know, I only check and release the goods, and I don't care about arresting people. ”

"No one else knows about this news?" Xiang Hua asked.

"Yes, my informant, he told me, and then I went to make sure." Zhou Lin said.

"He's not going to tell anyone else, is he?" Xiang Hua is worried.

"He dares! He took my three hundred dollars. Zhou Lin was dumbfounded.

Xiang Hua looked at Zhou Chang: "Director, this credit is big enough, maybe the head of the Central Command is in it." ”

Zhou Chang: "This matter must be reported to the Military Police Headquarters." ”

So, Zhou Chang connected the call of the military police headquarters and learned again that Yamada was out for a meeting and looked for the Ministry of Forestry, and Xiaolin also left with Yamada.

"What should I do?" Xiang Hua is like a yard ant on a hot pot.

"In this way, let Xiang Hua and his people secretly block that place to prevent news from leaking and preventing them from escaping. My eldest brother and I went to report to the gendarmerie headquarters. When we come back to meet you, we'll do it right away. Zhou Lin suggested.

Zhou Chang nodded in agreement, and Xiang Hua immediately ran out.

When Zhou Lin went downstairs, the people from the detective department were already fully dispatched. They all got into the car, and the car was already heading outside.

Zhou Lin and Zhou Chang came to the military police headquarters and found a responsible Zhongzuo.

As soon as he heard that Zhongtong's lair had been found, Zhongzuo immediately rushed to Peach Blossom Street with more than 30 gendarmes and him.

At this time, Peach Blossom Street has been surrounded by people brought to China.

And the head of the Central Command Group on Peach Blossom Street already felt that he had been surrounded.

"Team leader, what should I do?" The captain of the operation asked.

"It's definitely not okay to bump into each other, there are only two of us, and we can't escape."

Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out in the street.

It turned out that Nakasa had arrived and ordered a search of Nakato's house.

The searchers had already stormed their homes.

Before the head of the Central Command could express his position, the captain of the operation had already taken the lead in shooting.

"Phew!" A gunshot rang out, and a member of the Detective Division fell dead in front of the door.

Nakazo looked at it and resisted arrest? Dead, dead, dead!

With Nakasa's order, all the people opened fire on the surrounded house.

"Don't shoot! I'm the head of the Central Command! I'm also an imperial army......" shouted from inside the room.

It's a pity that the gunfire was too dense, and he didn't hear his shouting.

And the people from the detective department heard it, but they didn't understand what it meant, and continued to shoot.

The gunfire was heavier, the bullets were more dense, and the shouting was gone.

After waiting for five minutes, Zhou Chang sent someone in to check.

"Dead, two, dead!" The man sent ran back happily.

Xiang Hua rushed in happily, and ran out after ten minutes: "Report Zuo, two people died inside, one is the leader of the Zhongtong Pearl Group." The other is the captain of the operation of the Zhongtong Pearl Group. There are radios, codebooks, weapons, and ......"

"What else? Say it! Nakasa asked sharply.

"And three small yellow croakers, and some banknotes." Xiang Hua really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, why did he say that there were two more words.

Nakasa excitedly ordered the dead bodies and weapons radios to be carried into the car and taken to the gendarmerie headquarters.

"The Little Yellow Croaker Imperial Army took it, and those banknotes belong to you." After saying that, Nakasa returned to the gendarmerie with the gendarmes to his satisfaction.

Zhou Chang looked at the hundreds of fiat coins in his hand with a sad face.

Zhou Lin touched Zhou Chang: "Big brother, don't you feel strange?" Zhongtong is very rich, how can there only be three small yellow croaker? ”

Zhou Chang came back to his senses: "Xiang Hua, let everyone search carefully again, especially those inconspicuous locations are likely to hide things." ”

Xiang Hua's disappointed expression became excited again, and he immediately commanded more than a dozen people to enter the battered house again, and ploughed it all as if it were ploughing the land.

After a while, Xiang Hua pulled Zhou Chang and Zhou Lin to a cellar, and there were fifteen small yellow croakers in it.

"It's gone!" Xiang Hua exclaimed in surprise.

"I don't want it! Divide it! Zhou Lin looked disdainful.

was so hated that Xiang Hua almost snatched Zhou Lin's wallet, this goods, pretending to be too realm.
