Gao Junwu breathed a sigh of relief and walked in. Xiao Wang was trying to keep up, but was stopped by Dr. Peng's clinic.

"You're not a patient, stay here."

Xiao Wang had no choice but to stay outside. It had just rained, and the air was damp and cold, and Xiao Wang couldn't stand it anymore after standing for a while, so he got back into the car and chatted with Lao Yu. It's just that Lao Yu is really not a talkative person, and there is a sentence without a word, which makes him a little interested.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Everything became blurry and blurry in the rain. The noise of the streets was gone, and all that could be heard was the annoying crackling of large droplets of water falling on umbrellas, leaves, and car windshields.

The two waited outside for more than an hour, but they never saw Gao Junwu come out.

Lao Yu frowned: "Something is wrong, let's go and see." ”

Xiao Wang also couldn't sit still, so he got out of the car with Lao Yu and rang the doorbell.

The shrill doorbell rang again and again, but there was no movement in the clinic.

Xiao Wang finally felt bad and began to knock on the door vigorously.

Lao Yu pulled him aside, kicked the door open, and rushed in.

As far as the eye can see, the clinic is a dazzling white, like a mourning hall.

Lao Yu first squinted, and then gradually saw the scene inside the house.

There was silence in the room, and on one side of the door was a four-door medicine cupboard, which was full of glass bottles with Chinese labels, and a dead baby was soaked in a wide-mouth glass jar with his head soaked. Opposite the door was a washbasin, in front of which there was an operating table, and Gao Junwu was lying quietly on the bed, as if asleep.

Lao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and called in a low voice: "Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao......"

Gao Junwu remained motionless and unresponsive.

Lao Yu slowly turned to the bed, stared at him, and didn't speak for a long time.

At this time, Xiao Wang also followed, and when he saw this, he hurriedly asked, "Is Mr. Gao okay?" What about Dr. Peng? With that, he walked over.

"Wait, don't come here yet!" Old than loud to stop.

It was too late, Xiao Wang's face instantly lost its blood, and with an exclamation, he staggered back and crashed into the medicine cabinet behind him. The medicine cabinet shook, and the glass jar fell and shattered.

The pungent smell of formalin filled the air, reminiscent of a hospital morgue. The dead baby seemed to be upset by the disturbance, and opened his eyes and looked at the two of them coldly.

On the bed, Gao Junwu's eyes were high and his tongue was sticking out, and he had been dead for a long time.

Lao Yu came to Gao Junwu's corpse and gently parted his collar. On the neck of the corpse, a thin red blood mark was clearly visible.

"Old Yu, is this ......" Xiao Wang asked with some surprise.

"See? It's not a rope, it's supposed to be a wire or something. After observing for a while, Lao Yu came to a conclusion, "It's a steel wire, but it's not an ordinary steel wire." He pointed to the edges of the blood stains and said, "Look at these tiny lines, they are left by copper wires wrapped around steel wires." As he spoke, he raised his head and said word by word: "The murder weapon that strangled the high chief is a piano string......"

Zhong Shanwen didn't sleep well this night. Yesterday wasn't the first time she'd killed someone, but it was the first time she'd killed two people at once. Speaking of which, his actions are also a bit risky. At that time, there were two spies guarding the door, and the slightest carelessness would be exposed.

What makes you so impulsive? Could it be yesterday's rain? Or is it a corpse in the rain and those black-rimmed glasses?

The screeching of the phone interrupted her thoughts. She got out of bed, grabbed the phone, and whispered, "Hey......"

"Boss Gu? The goods you want have arrived today, and in an hour, we'll see you in the old place, see you there! After the other party finished speaking, he put the phone away.

Zhong Shanwen slowly put down the phone. Of course she knew who the other person was. That was his liaison Fang Hongjun, codenamed "Ruby". Like her, she is also a core member of the Shanghai underground branch founded by the Bente High School in China. When the Yanjing branch was destroyed, the two of them were one of the few survivors. Today, the two of them, together with the rest of the survivors, form a special operations team dedicated to the link with Diamond.

Of course, Fang Hongjun would not call for no reason, there must be another task issued from above. Zhong Shanwen quickly got dressed, didn't even bother to eat breakfast, hurriedly went downstairs, called a taxi, and rushed to the Daguang Cinema.

Daguang Cinema is located at the intersection of Pike Road in Jing'an Temple, with elegant and luxurious European-style architecture, with 1,500 seats, known as the first cinema in the Far East. The reason why Zhong Shanwen and Fang Hongjun connect in the cinema is not only that people come and go here, which will not attract attention, but also can use the darkness as a cover.

Because it was morning, the attendance rate was not high, and there were only a few dozen people in the theater. As soon as Zhong Shanwen entered the theater, she saw Fang Hongjun sitting at the end. She didn't come up to say hello, but found a place on the left side of the back row and sat down alone.

After five minutes, the lights dimmed and the movie began to show.

The film screened today is "The Female Thief White Lotus", a typical grievance drama of the Republic of China. Ren Lingling, known as the "iceberg beauty", has a hard performance, but Zhong Shanwen always feels that her performance is not as atmospheric as in "Mulan".

Watching the film flash in front of her eyes in a trance, she felt like she was almost going to fall asleep. Sometimes when I open my eyes, I see my mother's face. She was still wearing that kimono, and she smelled of flowers. It flickered on the screen, as if to greet himself.

Light and shadow shifted before her eyes, her pupils reflecting the glimmer in the darkness.

Will one day your life be put on the screen? Such a strange thought suddenly welled up in her heart. The thought came as suddenly as lightning as lightning, but it could never be erased. It's like making a steel stamp and then printing it with an ink printing machine.

Probably unlikely, right? Even if it is really successful, so many people sacrifice every day, and it is not their turn to be on the screen. Even if it's a parent...... She shook her head. War is always the main theme, and what I am in is nothing more than a backlit adagio, which can never attract attention, at most it is poured into a record and thrown into the corner of the warehouse, until it is covered with cobwebs and gradually submerged in dust.

While thinking wildly, Fang Hongjun quietly walked over and sat down beside her.

"How are you doing?" Fang Hongjun's greetings as always.

"Okay, what about you? Still buying perfume for Zhang Di every day? Zhang Di is Fang Hongjun's wife and a member of their group, half of whom are Chinese.

"Can't you? Is there a clause in the regulations that does not allow caring for the wife? ”

"The rules don't let you develop your colleague into a wife, right?"

"The building near the water gets the moon first. If you want to say that China is good, the air is free, not like this. I think you're fine, but you haven't thought about it? ”

"What to consider? A head full of dirty thoughts. ”

"You're a petty capitalist bourgeoisie."

The two of them first got used to talking for a while, and then gradually turned the topic to work.

"Well done last night's work, Gao Junwu betrayed the empire, he should have been killed a long time ago, and it was already his luck to let him live for so long." Fang Hongjun's voice was as low as a gnat, and he could barely hear it after half a meter away, but he knew that it was not difficult for Zhong Shanwen to hear his voice clearly.

"I don't understand why Diamond has to kill Gao Junwu. To some extent, this is contrary to the guidelines and policies of the empire in China. ”

"This is also a last resort, Gao Junwu has some clues of 'Obsidian' in his hands, if you don't do it, 'Obsidian' will be dangerous."

The corners of Zhong Shanwen's mouth curled slightly. "Obsidian" is the top intelligence agent who broke into China's political axe, and his identity is unknown. For the safety of Obsidian, this risk is worth taking anyway.

"Letter from above?"

"Received a telegram in the early hours of this morning. The organization requires you to contact Diamond as soon as possible to find out the exact timing of the Chinese army's attack on the mainland. ”

"It's not clear whether the Chinese army has decided to carry out a landing operation on the mainland, how can we find out?"

He may not know, but since the General Staff of the Chinese Army has made a decision, someone will definitely know the specific date. Reliable information has been received from above that in the event of an attack on the mainland, the Chinese army is likely to attack Tonkin Bay. This period is not only related to the situation of the Pacific War, but also an important bargaining chip for our side. ”

"Chips?"

"Members of the Chinese National Assembly have become more and more dissatisfied with the current policy of China's political axe, and they believe that once we leak this information to the relevant Chinese authorities in advance, it will greatly weaken the prestige of China's political axe. This would be of great benefit to consolidating the local defenses of the Empire, to enlisting German assistance to the Soviet Union in attacking China, and to maintaining the international position of the Reich in the Alliance. Hongzhushi has already given instructions, this matter is very important, and it must be investigated. ”

Of course, Zhong Shanwen knows who "Hongzhushi" is, since the No. 2 person attaches so much importance to this matter, then he can only do his best, hoping that Diamond will not let him down.

"Last night's operation had a great impact, I'm afraid it will cause retaliation from the Blackshirts, you go back and tell Lapis Lazuli that you have to be careful these days, and the radio won't be turned on."

"What? Not clean hands and feet? ”

"No, I have deliberately pointed the line index to the Soviet side, and it is estimated that the Chinese will definitely retaliate against the Soviet people."

"That's for the best." Fang Hongjun sneered.

"I overheard yesterday that Song Liangyu of Fengsheng Pharmaceutical Company and Rong Yihong of Rongbao Company seem to have contact with the Chinese [***] side. If it is true, it means that the Chinese army intends to purchase drugs on a large scale. You also work in a medicine store, help me inquire and see if other medicine stores have any contact with the Chinese [***] prescription. ”

"Got it, I'll call you if there's news."

"Don't call, a thousand words are better than a silence."

"I've never seen you so careful."

"Be careful to rest assured, watch a movie."

On the screen, the police chief sent someone to arrest someone who mistook someone for a white lotus, and was happily celebrating with his subordinates. At this time, the White Lotus suddenly appeared. Looking at the angry appearance of the police director on the screen, the audience in the theater laughed.

At this time, at the Shanghai Municipal Police Department, a similar scene was being staged.

"The Soviets probably did it."

"How can you be sure that the Soviets did it?"

"Do you need to ask? Who but trained people can kill people with such a sharp technique? In the spy school of the Soviets, they were specifically taught how to strangle people with a steel wire. ”

"This is not necessarily, the gangs, the Communist Party, the Germans, the Soviets, the Italians, the murderers may come from any side, such a conclusion is inevitably too fast."

"Since the establishment of our secret service headquarters, who else dares to provoke us except the Soviets and himself? The gang is now a shrunken turtle; The Communist Party? That is, to engage in sports and shout slogans, the hoe and annihilation team of the year has long been wiped out; The Germans are almost fucking family with us......"

"Director Li, as far as I know, the Germans and Soviets in Shanghai should not be good at using cold weapons, right?"

"As far as I know, no. Both Germans and Soviets admired advanced weaponry, and their training focused on small-caliber weapons and pistol shooting, although there were also courses on knife killing, but those were more assassination techniques. Cold weapons, which are easy to learn and difficult to master, can only be used well by people in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Jianghu people? Will Jianghu people also be interested in pianos? ”

"Where are the two people you said were on the scene?"

"It's just out there."

"Let them in, I have something to ask them."

Soon, Lao Yu and Xiao Wang came in. He lowered his head, pressed his hands to the line of his trousers, and remained motionless.

"Who was the first to discover the body of the High Commissioner?"

"It's me. Sir. Lao Yu replied.

"Did you go after the murderer?"

"No, sir."

"Why?"

Judging from the temperature of the corpse, the murderer has been on the run for more than half an hour, and it is useless to chase him. In that case, it's important to protect the site. ”

"Very well, did you see the murderer?"

"No, sir, I was in the car when the murderer opened the door."

"In this case, you are the only one who has spoken to the murderer."

Xiao Wang's heart tugged suddenly: "Yes, sir! ”

"Then do you see the murderer's face clearly?"

"He's wearing a mask, I'm ...... I didn't see it clearly. ”

"Wearing a mask...... Does he still wear glasses? ”

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be ......."

"Huh?"

"No, no! Sir! ”

"Since he doesn't have glasses, you can describe his eyes to me."

Xiao Wang sweated like rain, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"I want to ask you, based on your personal speculation, is this murder really done by the Soviets?"

"I'm not sure." Lao Yu said.

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"In terms of technique, it looks like a case made by Soviet people, but it ......"

"But what?"

"But there's no Soviets on the scene, Taijun."

"Taste?"

"Yes, sir, the peculiar taste of the Soviets."

"Funny ......"

"In any case, Captain Shi, this matter must be implemented as soon as possible. Their blood cannot be shed in vain......"

"Yes."

"Whether it is or not, the account can now only be counted on the heads of the Soviets. Now that our people are dead, if we don't react quickly, what will the public opinion think? ”

"Did you catch that trick yesterday?"

"It's been recruited, he confessed his direct boss at Shanghai Station, and this ......"

"It's a bonus......"

"What's that?"

"The Soviets ...... the channel of the secret radio station in Shanghai"

Coming out of the cinema, Zhong Shanwen came to Lihua Restaurant at the mouth of Xieqiao Lane alone, went up to the second floor, ordered a side dish, a pot of rice wine, and poured himself a drink in front of the window.

About 10 meters diagonally downstairs is the main entrance of Dr. Peng's clinic. Two plainclothes agents at the door were strolling back and forth against the north wind, and they kept stomping their feet.

Zhong Shanmin came here to eat just to see the reaction of the Chinese. Judging from the current situation, the other party is very calm, and it seems that he still underestimates the blackshirts. Zhong Shanwen frowned, and the originally delicious dishes seemed to have become bland and tasteless.

Gao Junwu has a clue to "obsidian", I wonder if he confided in the Chinese? There should be none, otherwise "Obsidian" would be dangerous. In the absence of conclusive evidence, a spy like Gao Junwu who defected to the enemy would not dare to bite casually. What clues do the Chinese have?

I have to contact "Diamond" as soon as possible, if the Chinese army really plans to carry out a landing operation on the mainland in the near future. Then they will inevitably rush to end the war with the Soviet Union, and the possibility of negotiations between the Chinese and the Germans cannot be ruled out, and if China and Germany reach a secret agreement, the target of China's attack will also change from the Soviet Union to the Soviet Union again.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still any longer, got up to pay the bill, and walked out of the store.

As soon as she left the store, she realized that something was wrong, and she seemed to be being targeted. However, she did not rush to look back, but wandered around the streets unhurriedly, and when she passed by Dr. Peng's clinic, she deliberately glanced at the two agents curiously.

The people behind him are still like shadows, stuck behind them.

He was too careless, but the enemy must have only been suspicious. What I have to do now is to dispel this suspicion as soon as possible.

Pedestrians on the streets are endless, and on the roadside department stores, more than a dozen banners of big sales are waving in the wind, with black characters on a white background, eye-catching like patriotic slogans. After crossing an intersection, Zhong Shanwen turned around and entered an alley.

Zhong Shanwen walked unhurriedly while looking up at the street lamp, looking no different from an ordinary passerby. The man behind him seemed to be deliberately exposing himself, and his footsteps were heavy, and he followed more and more closely.

Zhong Shanwen never looked back, and when she saw the two followers walking over on the opposite side, her eyes lit up, and she lowered her head and bumped into it.

Brother Childe was almost knocked down and was about to have a seizure, but when he saw clearly that there was a beautiful woman in front of him, the anger on his face disappeared.

"Hehe, where is this young lady going? In such a hurry, I didn't look at it. ”
