Chapter 438: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas (7)
At this time, Xiao Ding's heart was more joyful than surprised - since the target had already left the territory of the Japanese concession, it would be much easier for No. 76 to arrest him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 He glanced at Cao Zhi, who had also arrived at the bridge at some unknown time, and was also leaning against the flood control wall of Suzhou Creek and smoking unobtrusively, and Cao Zhi, who understood in his heart, immediately took out a small mirror in accordance with the pre-agreed method, and shook it three times in the eastern sunlight to a row of houses on the side of the road on the other side of the Suzhou Creek -- he was informing the No. 76 spies who were in ambush outside the Japanese concession, and the two people who had passed the border were the targets.
Immediately, a window on the second floor of the row of houses was opened, and a mop was stretched out to hang in the window—this was the secret service from the ambush on the other side of the river: they had already set their sights on the target.
Xiao Ding, who was standing at the head of the bridge, had also been paying close attention to Cao Zhi's contact with the other side, and when he saw the mop that had been hung out, a stone finally fell in his heart - the task of finding the target in the Japanese concession and "protecting" the target and leaving the Japanese concession safely had been completed. The rest depends on the ambush outside, and the action brigade Chai Wu and a group of spies are left.
However, Xiao Ding still had a trace of doubt in his heart: How did Li Shiqun know that the target would definitely leave the Japanese concession where he was hiding today? Of course, it was impossible for him to listen to the news broadcast by the Zhenxing Radio Station this morning -- in fact, this news was a fake news that Li Shiqun specially arranged for Yang Wei to broadcast on the Zhenxing Radio Station, in order to make Dong Jintao feel that his hiding place had been exposed and that he was already in danger and fled the Japanese concession. And Dong Jintao really heard the morning news, and as Li Shiqun wished, he fell for the plan of "scaring the grass and the snake", and escaped with his concubine Miao Cuihua.
Li Shiqun had already arranged for another group of spies under his command headed by Chai Wu to lay ambushes outside the various exits of the Japanese Concession, and as soon as Xiao Ding and the others sent a signal to the outside, Chai Wu and his gang would immediately arrest the target -- Anyway, except for the Japanese Concession in Shanghai, which was the world of the Japanese, the spies of No. 76 in other places could do whatever they wanted, so what was the point of arresting a man?
As for Dong Jintao, while he was glad for his "correct" judgment, he was proud that he was able to easily escape from the Japanese concession: "After all, I am a veteran of underground work, and with my ability, even if I encounter great danger, I can turn it into a disaster!" ”
Dong Jintao was thinking about it, and suddenly he felt that something was wrong—there seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes staring at him all the time, and he didn't know where this sharp gaze came from.
As an underground worker with old qualifications, Dong Jintao has realized that the situation is not good -- someone is paying attention to him as soon as he has passed the test! Although he could not yet tell where the observers were hiding, his warning nerves had already begun to tense - he bent down casually, pretending to tie his shoelaces and looked around from the corner of his eye: street corner? Behind the poles? A certain alley? Ill-intentioned guys in the cigarette paper shop? A rickshaw driver sitting on the side of the road soliciting business? Cigarette vendors? Dong Jintao's eyes examined these suspicious points one by one, and eliminated them one by one.
"Am I nervous?" He thought to himself.
Since he didn't find any specific evidence that he was being followed and monitored, Dong Jintao's heart that had just been suspended was put down again. He thought about it, if he returned to the Japanese concession at this time, he might be able to temporarily escape the ethereal "surveillance" in front of him, but he would definitely not be able to escape the large-scale search and arrest of the Japanese devils in the concession.
"Or am I going to have a horse pistol? I can go back to the Japanese concession from the North Sichuan Road and Bridge opening, and immediately rush to another checkpoint to get out of the customs again. That way, even if someone is watching me here, they will think I'm back in the concession! Then, when I get back out of Zhabei, I should be unaware! Dong Jintao straightened up and took Miao Cuihua's hand and walked off the bridge, while quickly turning his thoughts. Originally, he thought that his idea was good, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was inappropriate: "No, since the enemy has dispatched a flying fortress to my residence on Hailun Road, the first thing they will do after discovering that they have swooped down must be to carry out a large-scale search in the concession and even the whole city of Shanghai." If I rush back to the Japanese Concession at this time, I will not only waste precious time, but I may also fall into the net! No, I can't go back, I have to rush to the French Concession immediately, it's safer there! ”
After making up his mind, Dong Jintao pulled Miao Cuihua and started to act.
From the North Sichuan Road Bridge to the French Concession where Dong Jintao's new safe house is located, Masi South Road will cross the entire British Concession. Dong Jintao planned to walk south along North Sichuan Road to Aiwending Road to catch a tram bound for Jing'an Temple, get off at Murming Road halfway, and then walk south along Murming Road through the checkpoint to enter the French Concession. You can then cross Xiafei Road to Masinam Road. Dong Jintao had even planned to eat a bowl of his signature noodles "simmered noodles with pickled cabbage and yellow croaker" at the "Canglang Pavilion" noodle restaurant on Xiafei Road near Masi South Road - he hadn't eaten noodles there for a long time, and the Soviet-style noodles at the "Canglang Pavilion" noodle restaurant really made him salivate.
Dong Jintao and Ah Lian walked unhurriedly south along North Sichuan Road. Although Dong Jintao knew that there were many small alleys leading to Aiwending Road between the two-story Shikumen houses on both sides of this section of North Sichuan Road, and he and Miao Cuihua could go directly to Aiwending Road with Miao Cuihua into these small alleys that extended in all directions, but he didn't plan to do so - if someone really wanted to arrest him, he could just block both ends of the alley and wipe him and Ah Lian in the alley without realizing it!
Therefore, Dong Jintao would rather choose to walk on the main road, in case someone is really following, it is not too late to drill into the small alley.
As a veteran agent, Dong Jintao does not observe the situation around him by looking back frequently. He has long developed the ability to see and hear all directions, and in the first hemisphere, it can be said that nothing can escape his eyes, while in the blind spot, he solves the problem of observation through the reflection of the roadside window panes, turning sideways at the corner of the road, and crossing the street intentionally or unintentionally.
Now it seems that the hurried pedestrians and peddlers soliciting business on the road do not look like malicious watchmen - these people never glance at them, so Dong Jintao thinks that he and Ah Lian are safe, and Fang Cai's feeling may really be just his delusion.
"How did I become a frightened bird?" Dong Jintao laughed at himself.
