Zhang Xiaodan set up the dining table, and Liu Zezhi didn't like Zhao Jingdong's kindness and sat down. Zhao Jingdong served him a meal with his own hands and said, "I will accompany you today, and I won't drink anymore." Zezhi, I got a piece of news: Chen Zhaozhi, a subordinate of Wanlilang of the Political Security Headquarters, smuggled a batch of arms. You see......"

Sure enough, as soon as they met, Zhao Jingdong took the initiative to mention this matter. Liu Zezhi looked very surprised and said, "Chen Zhaozhi? I know this person, Director Wan's cronies, the intelligence commissioner of the Political Security Headquarters, how could he do such a thing? If you are bold enough, where did you smuggle it from? Who are the buyers? And where is the destination? ”

"The goods were sent from the border between China and the Soviet Union in the northeast, and I don't know the details yet. But the information is absolutely reliable. Zezhi, is my case closed? It's a matter of losing your documents. ”

Liu Zezhi ate two bites of rice, put down the bowl and said, "Wanli Lang...... In this way, you find a few brothers on the rivers and lakes, keep an eye on them, and I will report to Director Li. Your matter is not over, how did your documents fall into the hands of military commander Zhou Chengbin? What do you want to start with? ”

Zhao Jingdong frowned and replied, "Didn't I tell you several times?" When I was confined, the things I had with me at that time: A ID with a photo, a gun, a wallet, etc., were confiscated and temporarily sealed in accordance with the rules. The B ID without a photo, as well as a point 38 pistol that I used to use in the past, are all in the dormitory, so they should be handled by the administrative department, right? I was in prison for more than half a year, and I didn't get these things back. By the way, there are also my four gold bars, more than 800 yuan. ”

Liu Zezhi had a headache: "You are on medical parole, and according to the rules, it should not be returned to you." Yes, you said it, but at that time, I led someone to search your dormitory, and everything else matched what you said, except for document B. Later, Zhou Chengbin assassinated Ruan Bo, using this document of yours. The dormitory at No. 76 is full of people, and there are too many people who can go to your dormitory and steal documents. ”

Zhao Jingdong asked nervously, "Then what should I do about this matter?" It's not going to be on my head, is it? What did Director Li say? Zezhi, why do you think we have two kinds of certificates? I'm afraid that this will affect my future. ”

"The director is very angry, I explained two sentences for you, and I was reprimanded for a long time. Later, a new rule was made: the B certificate was cancelled and replaced with a letter of introduction. Everyone privately talked behind their backs that they changed the soup but not the medicine, and the letter of introduction was lost, and it was not the same as being used? The director also issued a strict order: keep the individual's documents, letters of introduction, etc., and confiscate all weapons in the hands of the individual, except for the gun. If it is lost again, it will be disposed of as a traitor. Many of us have an occupational disease: they almost never take pictures, so they like to use B ID cards without photos. Now if you don't change it, you have to change it, open a letter of introduction, in addition to the chief in charge, you must also report it to Director Li for signature, and the trouble is dead. Alas, it's been all a bit of a worry lately, so I stopped eating and left. ”

Zhao Jingdong sent him out and advised: "You can tell Director Li about the arms smuggling just now, and I will wait for your letter." ”

Back on No. 76, Liu Zezhi came to see Li Shiqun and reported Chen Zhaozhi's arms smuggling. Li Shiqun put down the pen in his hand and said, "Chen Zhaozhi...... You send someone to investigate and report back to me, and don't alarm them if you don't have me. ”

"Yes, I have already told Zhao Jingdong to ask him to find a few brothers on the rivers and lakes to follow ......"

"No, you can take someone to do it." Li Shiqun interrupted Liu Zezhi's words: "Also, the recent affairs of Yicheng Trading Company are also temporarily managed by you. Zhao Jingdong -- I have other arrangements. ”

Got another arrangement? When I met with Zhao Jingdong just now, Zhao Jingdong himself clearly didn't know about it, was it a temporary idea? Not like that. It should have been this intention for a long time, and in order to keep it secret, I was notified at the last minute, and such a thing is not uncommon on the 76th. Liu Zezhi replied: "Yes, my subordinates will bring people to do it." Director, the ceremony has been arranged, and it is scheduled for June 20. Are you in attendance? ”

"Look, I'll go when I have time."

Seeing Liu Zezhi away, Zhao Jingdong said to Zhang Xiaodan: "Bring the wine, I'll drink two glasses." Hey, after work today, you can go to No. 76 for me to deliver a few copies of the funeral ceremony......"

The phone rang, Zhao Jingdong picked up the phone, said a few words, put down the phone and hurriedly explained: "I have something to go to Chongqing...... I can only come back in a month, and on the days when I am not there, Secretary Liu will be in charge of a qiē here. ”

On the afternoon of 9 June, Ni Xin and Zhao Jingdong, who were brothers under the pseudonyms Shi Hongchang and Shi Hongsheng, arrived in Chongqing with refugees from Shanghai who had fled to the Kuomintang Autonomous Region, and the two found an inconspicuous inn to live in. Ni Xin said: "According to the plan, you will contact the person in charge of the Japanese spy network lurking in Chongqing tonight, Lao Zhao...... Third brother, this is the address. Before leaving, Director Li explained that he was going to find two people in Chongqing, and I would go to meet with one of them today. We split up. ”

Zhao Jingdong nodded and said, "I know, don't worry." Did you go to see the guy surnamed Ding first? Be careful. Sixth, how do you feel when you arrive in Chongqing? ”

"It's even more dilapidated than I imagined, we have come all the way, and it can be regarded as a mid-to-high-end downtown area in Chongqing, and basically I haven't seen any decent buildings. Of course, I'm not comparing Chongqing with Shanghai, and these two places can't be compared before the war...... Alas, I don't know when the war will end, and China will have the opportunity to kick in and do a good job in construction. ”

There was a question that had been haunting his heart, and Zhao Jingdong finally asked: "You are really strange, soldiers should be belligerent, otherwise how can you establish meritorious service?" I really can't understand you. ”

Ni Xin smiled silently. Zhao Jingdong said again: "Sixth, I didn't expect Director Li to trust me so much and let me follow you to complete such a difficult task." You say if we ...... Director Li should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, right? ”

Although the words were very subtle, Zhao Jingdong's thoughts, how Ni Xin didn't understand, smiled and made the words clear: "Captain Tian died in his duties, No. 76 lacks an action captain, this position can't be vacant, the director sent you, in addition to trust, it also has the meaning of giving you a chance to make meritorious contributions and subduing everyone." Hello do it yourself. Ni Xin straightened his color and said: "Third brother, don't say these words again in the future, no matter what your plans are, the first thing we have to do is to complete the task and go back alive." In order to achieve this goal, we must go all out and there is no room for mistakes. Let's go. ”

Chongqing, known as the stove, is particularly hot today, Ni Xin walked nearly two kilometers before finding the bus stop, and waited for a long time to finally squeeze into the bus. Ni Xin couldn't, so he could only endure it until he got out of the car. As far as the eye can see, there are simple houses made of bamboo poles and thatch, and the roads under your feet are also dirt roads, and the dust is all over the sky when the car passes.

Chongqing is a mountain city, climb downhill, find Qingshuping a row of bungalows built more than 200 meters away from the roadside, the first row of the first room hung a more than two feet long, half a foot wide white background black letter, which reads: Ordnance Department dormitory area 2. The road in the middle of the house is paved with broken bricks, and it is uneven, so you can imagine that it will be muddy as long as it rains. A few poorly dressed and young children ran around the house. Ni Xinxin said that his status in the military command is not low, how can he live in such a humble place, which is similar to the slums and shantytowns in Shanghai.

In the second room on the right hand of the last row of houses, the wooden door has cracked, and two pieces of glass on the window have been broken. In the middle of summer, the door was not closed, and there was a curtain that was changed from a seventy-percent old, washed but very clean bed sheet. Ni Xin stood still and asked in a loud voice, "Does Section Chief Ding live here?" ”

Someone in the room replied, "This is it." A middle-aged housewife lifted the curtain, and a man walked out and asked, "I'm Ding Linjie, are you ......?"

Ni Xin said with a smile: "My name is Shi Hongchang, I just arrived in Chongqing from Shanghai, and an old man asked me to bring you a letter from home-" Looking into the room through the gap in the door curtain, there were three girls of different ages sitting around the dining table.

From Shanghai? Letter? Ding Linjie turned around and said to his wife, "You take the children to eat first, and I'll go out with this Mr. Shi to talk." Mr. Shi, the conditions in Chongqing are difficult, and there is such a borrowed house inside and out, so I can't entertain guests, so I won't be polite to you, let's go to the teahouse in front of us to talk. ”

In a small open-air teahouse on the side of the road, the two found a table under a big tree on the very edge, Ding Linjie asked for a pot of low-priced Yunnan Dian tea, poured a cup for the guests first, and then poured it himself. Ni Xin took out a four-inch black-and-white photo from his shirt pocket, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "The beacon has been burning for three months, and the family letter is worth 10,000 gold, the section chief Ding on this photo must be very worried, right?" ”

The photo is not very clear, and it is not a common pose, and it looks as if it was taken secretly without the knowledge of the person in the photo. In the photo, an elderly woman in her fifties and sixties, holding a boy of four or five years old, walks in an alley. Ding Linjie looked at it again and again, his face was cloudy.

Ni Xin smiled: "Section Chief Ding is also an expert, you can also estimate the shooting time of this photo, right?" Lingtang and Linglang are very good, you can rest assured. ”

The Ding family has been passed down for three generations, and after ten years of marriage, they have three daughters in a row, and then they are happy to have a noble son. His mother was overjoyed and insisted that her son and daughter-in-law hand over their grandson to her own relatives. Ding Linjie was filial to his mother and couldn't bear to disobey his widowed mother, he and his wife worked and lived in Nanjing with their three daughters, and his mother and son lived in his hometown in northern Jiangsu. Nanjing fell, and Ding Linjie's family retreated to Chongqing, but they did not have time to pick up their mother and son. For several years, there has been no news of the old mother and her son. Who knew that the stranger in front of him brought news of his relatives.

As a professional agent, Ding Linjie quickly reacted from the initial surprise: the comer was not good. He asked coldly, "Who is Mr. Shi?" Let's put it bluntly. ”

Ni Xin smiled slightly and replied: "Ni Xin, the director of the intelligence department of the secret service headquarters of the Nanjing National Government, was ordered by Director Li Shiqun to come to Chongqing to carry out a secret mission. ”
