At 11 o'clock in the morning of August 18, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said to Li Shiqun: "We underestimated Guo Xuan's fierceness, especially his dedication to faith. Alas, the ruthlessness of the military commanders Dai Li and Mao Renfeng, although they are peers, still makes people shudder...... Maybe it's because we don't have a backache when we stand and talk, and we won't be better at dealing with it. Alas, to put it mildly, I still have no fate with Guo Xuan, to say something from my heart: as an alumnus of the Royal Military Academy of the Duke of St. York, the stubbornness of the gentlemen of the British Empire, who regards honor as more important than life, Guo Xuan has learned, and I am ashamed of myself. ”

Li Shiqun also sighed and replied: "The way Dai Li and Mao Renfeng handled it was what I expected, what surprised me was Guo Xuan's death, and Zhou Chengbin's cold eyes. The general didn't know, the two of them were not only friends, when General Ono and I arrested Zhou Chengbin and brought him to justice, it was Guo Xuan who risked his life to save him, and the ruthlessness of this person made me breathtaking. ”

"I think the reason why Zhou Chengbin didn't make a move, firstly, is because after Duan Wentao's death, Shanghai Station did not have the cooperation of the inner line, and if he rescued, it would be tantamount to raising a candle and throwing a fire; Second, it is precisely because Guo Xuan snatched Zhou Chengbin from you back then, how could Li Sang, who suffered a big loss, and your No. 76 repeat the mistakes of the past? There will be no more opportunities to take advantage of the Shanghai station. Seeing that Ni Xin, who was standing next to him, wanted to speak and stopped, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said, "Ni Sang, do you have something to say?" Go ahead. ”

"Yes, the general's analysis is very correct, but his subordinates think that there is another most important reason why Zhou Chengbin is a cold sideliner: the military command Shanghai Station is currently in heavy operation. What can make Zhou Chengbin ignore the brotherhood can only be the overall situation, which is their so-called national righteousness. Otherwise, his subordinates thought that even if Zhou Chengbin did not use the strength of other people in Shanghai Station, he would sacrifice his life to save him. The subordinates thought that for Zhou Chengbin, the rescue could not be achieved, and the brothers went to Huangquan hand in hand, and he did not watch Guo Xuan die, and he was hit hard,"

Li Shiqun nodded and said: "What Director Ni said makes sense, and this can also be refuted from Mao Renfeng's venture to northern Jiangsu." Moreover, judging from the reaction of Consul Anderson and the full assistance of the British in Guo Xuan's visit to Shanghai for treatment, it is very likely that it has something to do with the British. What kind of heavy task can make Zhou Chengbin ignore Guo Xuan? Is it really to help the British transfer away HSBC's gold reserves? Or is there something big we don't know about? ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao pondered: "From the analysis of the current situation, there is only this possibility. I can't figure it out: with nearly six tons of gold, Zhou Chengbin will neither soar through the clouds nor hide invisibly, what can he do to transport this batch of gold away under our noses? So I guess a little nervous? Will there be any other action by the military commanders? ”

Ni Xinti said, "General, Director Li, can you order Polaris to inquire?" The subordinates thought that since it was a major operation, it was impossible for the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau not to find any clues. ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao nodded in agreement: "That's right, by the way, I ordered him to inquire about the reaction of the military commander after Guo Xuan's death." ”

Li Shiqun said: "It took so much effort to arrest Guo Xuan, and we have to use Guo Xuan's death to splash sewage on the heads of the military commanders." Director Ni, you go and explain to Liu Zezhi: Tell the press that Guo Xuan, who was committed to building the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, was assassinated by someone sent by the military commanders, and we will hold a funeral for him at the Universal Cemetery three days later. ”

Ni Xin suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart: doing so is tantamount to showing that Guo Xuan betrayed the military command and died at the hands of Jian Siyao, wouldn't Guo Xuan be blind to death? If you die a hundred, why bother? He didn't dare to say what he thought, and agreed: "Yes, my subordinates will do it." ”

Xu Jianxue has been six gods and no owner in the past few days, of course she has seen the reports about Guo Xuan in "Declaration" and other media, and she doesn't dare to recognize Guo Xuan in the photo as haggard! What's going on? It seems that the news that Guo Xuan came to Shanghai will not be fake, why didn't Zhou Chengbin and Liu Zezhi sue her? Is it because latent discipline does not allow it? Did Guo Xuan really fall into the hands of No. 76? This may also be true, but Xu Jianxue never believes that Guo Xuan will betray his faith, and is willing to collude with No. 76 to be an eagle dog of the Japanese!

Liu Zezhi has not contacted him for a few days, and even if Liu Zezhi comes, he can't take the initiative to ask questions with strict discipline. In the early morning of 19 August, Ji Qun, who had gone to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, came back, his face solemn, and he stopped talking. Xu Jianxue asked, "Sister Ji, what's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

It was impossible to hide such a big thing, so Ji Qun had to reply: "I have something I want to tell you, but you have to promise me that I must be calm." "How many days has Xu Jianxue's thoughts, how can Ji Qun not know? Ji Qun and Xu Jianxue were both Guo Xuan's subordinates before they were ordered to lurk, and they also attended their wedding.

Xu Jianxue, who was uncertain, had a premonition, her face turned pale, and she looked at Ji Qun blankly. Ji Qun said as gently as possible: "When I came back, I took today's "Declaration" from the newspaper box at the door, Jianxue, and there was a message on it...... See for yourself, I think maybe it's the trick of number 76? After all, there was no news from Eighty-Six...... I mean......"

Xu Jianxue snatched the newspaper suddenly, flipped through it in a hurry, Ji Qun could only look at her helplessly, and soon a striking news jumped into his eyes:

Obituary

Mr. Guo Xuanxuan, former colonel director of the Chongqing Government's Military Command Bureau and now a major general and commissioner of the Nanjing Nationalist Government's Special Service Headquarters, unfortunately returned to heaven on August 18.

military commanders and bandits are rampant; The means are despicable, and heaven and man are angry; Talent is high and jealous, ancient and modern; The day is not a holiday, what a pity! There is knowledge under the spring, and Fu Wei is still feasting!

A farewell and burial ceremony will be held at 8 a.m. on August 21 at Wanan Cemetery. Misreporting.

The funeral team of the General Affairs Office of the Secret Service Headquarters would like to report

August 19, 30th year of the Republic of China

Xu Jianxue's hands trembled involuntarily, Guo Xuan died? He's dead? Killed by the military commander? So he really took refuge in the Japanese, was Zhou Chengbin ordered to hoe and rape? Or did Liu Zezhi do it? No, no, no, he won't die, he won't leave me alone and leave without saying a word......

Ji Qun hurriedly comforted: "Jianxue, what's wrong with you?" Things haven't been figured out yet, don't be like this, I'll help you in and lie down...... You tell me that this can't be true, No. 76, Li Shiqun has always been scheming, you know...... Jianxue, you say something, you talk to me, did you hear it? ”

According to discipline, Ji Qun did not know Zhou Chengbin's whereabouts and could not get in touch with Shanghai Station, so she could only call Liu Zezhi.

After receiving the call, Liu Zezhi replied: "Enteritis? Is the illness very strict? This season is the most likely to get enteritis, don't worry, I'll drive over, if the situation is not good, I will accompany her to the hospital. "What is Ji Qun looking for him, Liu Ze knows it well, he can't escape when he should come, and he will have to face it sooner or later.

Liu Zezhi said to Pingchuan Xinye: "I'll go out, if the director looks for me, you can prevaricate for me, and say that I will handle the things I need for the funeral the day after tomorrow." ”

Hirakawa Shinno had roughly understood the conversation when Liu Zezhi answered the phone, and replied: "Go quickly, this has me." By the way, didn't Director Ni build yì in order to achieve a realistic effect, and invite some citizens, especially women, the day after tomorrow, there are too few women in our No. 76, come to the funeral? By the way, talk to Miss Xu and see if she can come over and have a show. ”

"It depends on how she's doing. Don't worry, I've already said hello to Director Zhang of the Municipal Epidemic Prevention Bureau, and he promised to organize more than a dozen female employees, which will be arranged by us. ”

Coming to Xu Jianxue's liaison station, Liu Zezhi glanced at the closed bedroom door and said to Ji Qun: "Sister Ji, how is she?" Did you know about Guo Xuan? ”

Ji Qun sighed: "So you know...... Alas, I also say this superfluously, how can you not know? Now that you know, why not ...... ahead of time Forget it, you must have a hard time doing this. Jianxue's condition is not very good, since I told her the news, she didn't say a word, and the whole person was demented...... I understand the bitterness in her heart, I had the opportunity to go back to Chongqing to reunite with my husband and wife, but I didn't expect it...... Whoever is replaced will inevitably feel guilty and regretful...... It may not work, but you should persuade her, I think...... Jianxue's current state is not suitable for continuing to work. ”

Liu Zezhi was very embarrassed, and he was in such an embarrassing period, it was really difficult for him to enter the hall and enter the room. Seeing Liu Zezhi's hesitation, Ji Qun said, "I'll go in with you." ”

The two walked into the bedroom, Xu Jianxue sat on the edge of the bed with a pillow in his arms, and Liu Zezhi said stiffly: "Jianxue, I'm ...... I want to say I'm sorry, I know these three words are too light...... In fact...... I mean...... Jianxue, you believe me, you're not the only one who can't get sick, Jianxue ......"

Xu Jianxue looked up at Liu Zezhi, the person in front of her was so unfamiliar, she was almost sure that she really knew this person?

Liu Zezhi was very uncomfortable with her, forced himself to calm down, and said: "Jianxue, I originally wanted to sue you in a few days...... I mean......"

Xu Jianxue smiled sadly and said, "I want to ask you a few questions." ”

Liu Zezhi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could speak, it would be fine. "Just ask."

"Did you already know that Guo Xuan came to Shanghai? Why did he come to Shanghai? ”

Liu Zezhi replied: "Yes, No. 76 sent Ni Xin and Zhao Jingdong to infiltrate Chongqing to blow up the Kangci Pharmaceutical Factory, and at that time I was indulging in the grief of Liu Wu's death and couldn't extricate myself and didn't notice it. On June 28, Guo Xuan was injured in the head in the explosion, and the conditions in Chongqing were limited. Later, I found out that No. 76 designed to trap Guo Xuan to come to Shanghai for treatment. Stationmaster Zhou decided not to tell you the news in accordance with the discipline, and I also approved of his approach. The endless guilt made Liu Zezhi take the responsibility on himself.

"Is Guo Xuan dead? How did he die? ”

"Yes, yesterday morning...... I saw it with my own eyes...... It was poisoned, and he was not punished before he died...... "Liu Zezhi really couldn't say that the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau sent someone to kill him, and he didn't want to hurt this woman again.

"Did he betray the country and take refuge with the Japanese?"

Liu Zezhi replied categorically: "No, absolutely not!" Guo Xuan is an upright man, he has not done anything sorry for the country and the military commanders! ”

"Then why did No. 76 come forward to give him a funeral? Do you know that this will make him suffer the infamy of a traitor after his death? Did you sue me if the military commander sent someone to kill him? ”

“……”

Xu Jianxue looked at Liu Zezhi coldly: "I want you to tell the truth: Did the military commander send someone to kill him?" ”

"No, why do you think that?" Liu Zezhi replied against his will: "Li Shiqun is our enemy, do you believe what he said?" The reason why No. 76 came forward to handle the funeral was to frame Guo Xuan and slap the military commander in the face. I promise you: as long as I live, I will definitely correct Guo Xuan's name, you believe me, okay? ”

Xu Jianxue finally burst into tears, and her tears flowed like beads with broken threads...... Liu Zezhi comforted: "Before he died, Guo Xuan said to me: The country is in trouble, life and death have long been put aside, and those who regret it have not been eliminated, the mountains and rivers have not recovered, and after death, I know that everything is empty...... His meaning is very clear, he wants those of us who will die to redouble our efforts to drive out the Japanese and comfort his spirits in heaven. Jianxue, Guo Xuan is the pride of the military commander, and it is also your pride, I want to tell you: the pain of losing your siblings is no less than the pain of losing your loved ones...... Stay by yourself for a while, I'll go out first. ”
