Chapter 121: Into the Abyss

Through GuΓ² Xu Jianxue's liaison store, Zhou Chengbin issued an appointment to Liu Zezhi. Liu Zezhi breathed a sigh of relief, for a month, he had been worried about Zhou Chengbin's safety. Although the celebration party on No. 76 did not mention the capture or killing of Zhou Chengbin, letting him know that Zhou Chengbin is still safe for the time being, but this kind of safety without news and speculation makes him even more worried: I don't know when, bad news may come at any time.

On the evening of April 3, in a cafΓ© in Tbilisi, the two finally met. Ignoring the greetings, Zhou Chengbin asked directly: "Is there any news of Ruan Bo?" and the whereabouts of Li Zhiyong. ”

"Yes, Ruan Bo is now temporarily under the command of Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and it seems that he does not have any specific position for the time being. I have already found out the exact reason for his defection: Li Shiqun found his daughter. Alas, pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Li Zhiyong's whereabouts remain unknown. The external saying is that he cooperated with the encirclement and suppression operation of the imperial army, and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and made great contributions in the operation of cracking the Shanghai station of the military command, so Li Shiqun fulfilled his promise: he gave him a large sum of money, and he went incognito and lived a good life. ”

Zhou Chengbin's heart was heavy, and it was very unpleasant. He asked, "Do you think there is any other possibility about Li Zhiyong?" ”

"It's hard to say, maybe it's hidden in the snow, so that we can use him against us later; It may also be dead; Maybe it's really as Li Shiqun claims to the outside world. Regarding Ruan Bo, what instructions does Chongqing have? ”

Zhou Chengbin replied: "Boss Dai personally faced: get rid of Ruan Bo." Zezhi, I need your cooperation in this matter. ”

"Get rid of him?" Liu Zezhi was a little unbearable: "Is there no other way?" He's a father......"

Zhou Chengbin interrupted Liu Zezhi's words: "I don't dare to agree! The comrades-in-arms who were betrayed by him and died because of him were also the sons of their parents and the husbands of their wives! The two countries are at war, and cooperating with the enemy is treason, and treason is capital crime! Not to mention that he is a soldier, it is also an unforgivable crime for ordinary people to dare to collude with the enemy and kill their compatriots! ”

Liu Zezhi was silent. At this moment, he seemed to see the killer who had been ordered to get rid of him again, and felt his fierce murderous aura! Zhou Chengbin took a sip of coffee, calmed down, and said, "This is Boss Dai's order, and we must carry it out." What I need you to do is find out Ruan Bo's whereabouts, and then I'll do it myself. The warehouse that Yang Jun is in charge of guarding is temporarily used as a contact point, so don't go there these days. Is there anything else you need to say to me? ”

"I know, that warehouse is confidential, and no one knows about it except me and Zhao Jingdong. I will try to inform you before Zhao Jingdong returns. The warehouse was specially used to store a batch of European and American cultural relics that Li Shiqun handed over to us for sale in the market. I wonder where he got these artifacts. You are back in Shanghai this time, and once the news leaks, I am worried about your safety. I know that by discipline, I shouldn't ask where you're hiding, but I'd like to recommend you a place anyway. ”

How to find a suitable and safe hiding place that is easy to contact is the most urgent problem in front of Zhou Chengbin. "Tell me about it," he asked. ”

Liu Zezhi said in a low voice: "You should know about the Puji Temple on the outskirts of Shanghai, right?" In this troubled world, the industry is sluggish, but religion is fashionable, and people are turning to ethereal religion for solace. The presiding Wuchen Zen master raised a sum of money to rebuild the lower courtyard of Puji Temple. A few days ago, I accompanied Li Shiqun's wife Ye Jiqing to repay my vows. I heard that he was in need of a monk there. Wuchen used to be friends with Du Yuesheng. You might as well forge a letter of recommendation from Du Mu and Boss Du and go there to hide. ”

Liu Zezhi's construction sounds unbelievable at first, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Who would have thought that the most wanted criminals in the military, police, and special organs would hide in Buddhism? What's more, after entering the Buddhist gate and putting on a robe, as long as you are not a professional agent with superhuman observation, or a beloved relative or friend, ordinary people who are friends with general knowledge may not know each other on the other side. Besides, although Zhou Chengbin has Du Yuesheng's introduction, he is not always the original patriarch in the temple, and Wuchen will place him on an idle errand at most, without him needing to show his head, and the danger of exposure can be said to be minimal. And the subordinates who need to contact him don't need to find any reason, they can come and go as they like pilgrims.

Zhou Chengbin thought about it for a moment and said: "This construction is good, I will consider it seriously." Boss Dai gave us a month. Zezhi, how long will it take you to find out Ruan Bo's whereabouts. ”

"Three days. How can I find you? ”

"At this time, you put the information at Xu Jianxue's liaison station, and I will try to get it. Zezhi, take care. ”

The past month has been the shortest month in Ruan Bo's life in his thirties, and he doesn't know how this month has passed; It was the longest month of his life, and he couldn't sleep at night, not knowing hunger and cold. Only when I saw my daughter's smile did I know that he was still alive. On 5 April, Li Shiqun again went to him for a "small talk."

In a high-end Chinese-style teahouse, Li Shiqun's secretary Liu Zezhi was already waiting: "Mr. Ruan, Director Li has a little delay, he asked me to tell you to wait, and he will come over in half an hour." Mr. Ruan, let's have a cup of tea, this year's new Ming Qian Longjing. Two of your bodyguards also asked for a private room next door for them. ”

Ruan Bo drank a few cups of tea in a row, Liu Zezhi looked at him absent-mindedly, smiled and said nothing, asked for four plates of tea, and sat on the Chinese mahogany Taishi chair next to him flipping through the newspaper.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Li Shiqun arrived as promised, Liu Zezhi got up and poured a cup of tea, filled Ruan Bo with tea, and wanted to turn around and leave the room. Li Shiqun said: "Come sit with us." ”

"Yes." Liu Zezhi responded, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down.

Li Shiqun smiled: "Mr. Ruan, I haven't seen you for a few days. Last time, I heard you say that Zhou Chengbin ordered you to cause an explosion in the Aili Garden, and the target was to target the fake wife and son of General Kagezo Zhenzhao. You said that the bomb that was installed in advance on the car used by the surveillance personnel was planted by Li Zhiyong in the name of investigating "drug dealers", right? ”

Nguyen Bo replied, "Yes." Director Li, I've said everything I need to say. I want to leave with my daughter now, and that's what you promised beforehand. ”

Li Shiqun smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Ruan, you are too naΓ―ve. Do you think Dai Lia will let you go? Zezhi, tell me what happened to you, when Zezhi followed me to Shanghai when he first arrived, he hadn't had time to do anything, how did the military commander deal with him? ”

At this time, Liu Zezhi could only quickly prove Li Shiqun's words. "The director is right, the military unification will send people to chase and kill, and the killer is my original friend and classmate Le Yi. Alas, if it weren't for the director's command, I would have seen Lord Yama a long time ago. ”

Li Shiqun nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Ruan, you don't want Ling Ai to be an orphan, right?" I want you to leave, but the forces of the military commanders are intertwined, can you escape from their hands? Therefore, I advise you to continue to do nothing, and wholeheartedly cooperate with the Japanese Empire to jointly build a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, then I can be responsible for your safety. ”

Ruan Bo was unwilling: "But Director Li, you said it yourself: Li Zhiyong took fifty gold bars and left another country." He can, why can't I? ”

Li Shiqun's face sank slightly: "Hmph! Li Zhiyong? Mr. Ruan, let me be honest with you, Li Zhiyong is dead, he toasted and refused to eat and drink, and at first he insisted on refusing to cooperate, and repeatedly tested my patience. As a last resort, I had to use the electric chair, and he confessed. It's a pity that after confessing, he finally died of his injuries. The so-called honor is gone, and life is lost. What's the pain? Mr. Ruan, you may not know what kind of punishment the electric chair is, but you witnessed Yang Shuang's death, and he died of electrocution. ”

Li Shiqun glanced at Liu Zezhi again, and Liu Zezhi deliberately asked: "Oh, I only then knew that Yang Shuang died of electrocution." Director, last time Zhou Chengbin died of electrocution, didn't you say that God has the virtue of a good life, and he will no longer use electrocution in the future? ”

Li Shiqun sneered: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, some people just give shame to their faces, and they don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and they can't have a little mercy for these people!" Mr. Nguyen - Let's continue with the topic just now, since you and Li Zhiyong are in charge of the operation of the Aili Garden, who is in charge of the operation in the Japanese headquarters? How did that weird green toy horse get into Kage Sataro's hands? And who hung the white banner that insulted General Kage Zhenzhao that day? ”

Ruan Bo thought about it carefully, and Liu Zezhi's heart also rose. Li Shiqun spent a lot of time sipping tea. After a while, Ruan Bo said: "When Li Zhiyong came to me to explain the task, I asked him: The operation of the Japanese army headquarters is not under your command, is it true that Stationmaster Zhou wants to meet Ying Zuo Zhenzhao in person?" He replied to me: Stationmaster Zhou will not show up, and there are really our people in the headquarters now. ”

Li Shiqun nodded and said, "Very good, keep talking." ”

Ruan Bo pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Director Li, I really don't know. You think I've come to this point, there's no way back, there's no way to hide it. But I know two other things. One thing is that last year's Midyear Festival, the Imperial Army of Ailiyuan posthumously recommended the Ping'an Jiao Festival, and the guns and grenades used by Li Zhiyong and Xie Chengxin were completed by me to find a paper shop. The paper shop was not a military commander, but the owner was very aggressive and often insulted the Imperial Japanese Army. It should be regarded as a peripheral organization of a military commander. ”

Li Shiqun was not very interested in such a peripheral organization of the military command, but it was better than nothing, and he motioned to Liu Zezhi to write down the address. Wait for Ruan Bo to continue. Ruan Bo had no choice but to say again: "Also last year, when Guo Xuan was in Shanghai, one day he suddenly came to me, and he was in a hurry, saying that he was going to assassinate the leader of No. 76 Yamaki Ryusan, but he didn't expect to accidentally kill Yamaki Ryusan's wife and an unknown gendarme. Let me try to find a scapegoat to cover it up. At that time, I was very curious: since it was not exposed, why bother to cover it up? Even if No. 76 knows that it was you Guo Xuan who killed him, what can he do? There must be something strange in this. But by discipline, I can't pursue it. Director Li, I really don't know anything else, you must believe me. ”

Li Shiqun said with a smile: "Mr. Ruan's words are serious, of course I believe you." Mr. Nguyen, there is one more thing I would like to ask for your personal opinion: you are currently in the Japanese army headquarters for the time being, but I appreciate your talent. Are you willing to do me a favor on the 76th, or will you officially work under the command of the Japanese army headquarters, General Kagesa Zhenzhao? ”

So far, Ruan Bo had no choice but to reply: "I don't have any opinions, please ask Director Li to arrange it." "If you can't go, what's the difference between where you stay?
