Chapter 41: Lost

successfully rescued Zhou Chengbin, which made Liu Zezhi look at Guo Xuan with admiration, and at the same time, a boulder in his heart finally landed. He knew that in this operation, some of the practices had lost their usual caution and were very risky. Not to mention that the impulsive murder incident is still a sharp sword hanging over his head that may fall at any time, even the matter of going to the Japanese military hospital to find Ni Xin and Yamaki is also easy to make people suspicious. Although he found Mao Jun as a shield, he still couldn't be invulnerable. Now that Ni Xin and Shan Mu are being detained and confined for interrogation, this fire may spread to themselves at any time. But if he were given another choice, he would still choose to participate in the rescue. Unconsciously, Zhou Chengbin, who rarely met and only met a few words, occupied a very important position in his mind, and he had already regarded that person as his eldest brother who was like a sibling......

After settling Zhou Chengbin and hurrying back to Shanghai, Guo Xuan gave Liu Zezhi another problem, and the two met in the bookstore opposite Zhengjin Bank. Guo Xuan said while flipping through the book: "Boss Dai secretly ordered to find out the Japanese spies lurking in the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau. And this operation, codenamed 'Thorn', will be led by you, and Shanghai Station will fully cooperate." Tell us what you think. ”

"As of now, no idea. I only know that the undercover agent is codenamed 'South Pole Star'. How is Lao Zhou's situation? ”

Guo Xuan's words were still so simple and direct: "This is not what you should ask...... stopped for a few seconds and said three words: "He's okay." ”

Thinking of the few times Zhou Chengbin and himself met each other silently but clearly in addition to the first time he was ordered to hunt down the rebel generals, Liu Zezhi stopped talking with interest. is the same silent and silent, Zhou Chengbin gives people the feeling that he is stable and can be relied on, but this Guo Xuan gives people the feeling of being boring and arrogant. Liu Zezhi took two books at random, walked to the counter and asked the young man to settle the bill. pretended to pick out other books and walked back to Guo Xuan.

Guo Xuan asked, "Is there anything going on with No. 76?" ”

Liu Zezhi knew that Guo Xuan was asking about the countermeasures and current situation of No. 76 after rescuing Zhou Chengbin, and replied in a low voice: "People are panicking, Ni Xin, Yamamu Longsan, and Tian Chengxi are confined for interrogation, and Li Minghua before, and another named Zhao Jingdong, have not been released yet. And he said, "I...... It's okay for now, but the doubts left ...... "He suddenly didn't want to say any more, maybe Guo Xuan didn't care if he was okay?"

didn't hear Liu Zezhi's words, Guo Xuan raised his eyebrows, and silently urged Liu Zezhi to continue. Liu Zezhi changed the subject: "I will try my best to find a way to complete the 'thorn' plan, how can I contact you in the future?" ”

Guo Xuan replied: "The liaison station you used for no longer can be used, and a new address will be arranged immediately in the name of rent due, just in case, the new address is still only known to you, and you don't have to sue me and anyone." This bookstore is one of my liaison stations, but you can't use it directly, and from here, there is a pot of bamboos on the windowsill of the attic on the third floor of the road, which is a security signal, and when you see this signal, you can order your correspondent to go there and find the dead letter box on the first floor to get in touch with me. After explaining this, there were no more superfluous words, and he turned and left. The guy handed over the packaged book, and Liu Zezhi took out the money to settle the bill, signaling that there was no need to look for the change. Also left the bookstore.

Liu Zezhi's situation is difficult, and Guo Xuan can also understand it. He didn't feel unfamiliar with each other, but he believed that as professional agents, neither side would be denied the ability to work side by side to perform their duties. In fact, in his heart, he had already admitted what Zhou Chengbin said: No. 86 is a very good agent. He even refuses to admit that this rustiness is because of the relationship between his beloved wife Wen Yuenan, who has the pseudonym "Xu Jianxue". Three years ago, Dai Li's special approval allowed marriage, and then the Battle of Taierzhuang broke out, the newlywed husband and wife for three months went to the battlefield side by side, and after being ordered to withdraw to Chongqing, they learned that their wives were sent to the Japanese-occupied areas to lurk, but they didn't expect this parting to be three years, and they didn't expect to be unexpectedly reunited in Shanghai. He is convinced that his wife is loyal to him, but is it possible for Liu Zezhi, who doesn't know the inside story, to fake the show, and he even thought that if Liu Zezhi exceeded the rules, would Mao Renfeng acquiesce or even indulge Liu Zezhi in order to better lurk? He knew that this kind of thinking was absurd, and it shouldn't be, but in the final analysis, he Guo Xuan is also a person, with the seven emotions and six desires that ordinary men have.

How to find out this Japanese spy who even Li Shiqun only knows his name and does not know who he is? Liu Zezhi once again fell into a predicament where he couldn't start.

On the evening of May 31, Liu Zezhi bought two pork ribs and half a tender winter melon to make soup in the kitchen. He lost his father at the age of ten, lost his mother at the age of twelve, and since the age of fourteen or fifteen, half of life is a last resort, half of it is because of interest, and making a few small dishes for himself and his sister in his spare time is a way for him to relax his body and mind differently. Somehow, he suddenly remembered Ni Xin, Ni Xin has a delicate pursuit of life, and he also knows a lot, as long as there are conditions, although the tea, wine, cigarettes, snacks he likes to eat, etc., are not necessarily the most expensive, but they are the most suitable for himself, of course, this does not affect Ni Xin can also endure the hardest life without saying a word when there are no conditions. Since coming to No. 76, Liu Zezhi often invites close single colleagues to get together, and Ni Xin is one of the people who have come the most. A thought came to mind: If there was no war imposed on China by Japanese bandits, instead of getting along with a dull and boring person like Guo Xuan, he would rather have a friend like Ni Xin, drink tea and chat, and eat some home-cooked food, wouldn't it be good?

Liu Zezhi shook his head, blaming himself for how he could suddenly come up with such a nonsensical idea, these "friends" who talked and laughed together all day long were actually the most dangerous enemies. Not only his personal enemy, but also the scum of the Chinese nation! Such a loss may one day send him to Huangquan Road......

There was a knock at the door, and as soon as the door opened, it was Zhang Keqing. Liu Zezhi said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, come in, you came just in time, I made a pot of winter melon pork ribs soup, fried some green vegetables, steamed some preserved fish, and ate some together." ”

Zhang Keqing was also polite: "Okay, at this time, winter melon is not easy to find." I'd like to talk to you about that too. ”

In less than half an hour, the meal was served, and Liu Zezhi poured Zhang Keqing a glass of wine: "Brother Zhang, drink some." This half bottle of wine is the last time Lao Zhao ate with us, you are afraid that he will drink too much and snatch it from him. ”

Zhang Keqing sighed: "Alas, speaking of which, Lao Zhao has been locked up for almost ten days, and he hasn't come out yet, and Secretary Ni has been locked up again, and it's been two or three days, right?" What an eventful time. ”

"As soon as I talk about Lao Zhao, I think of that great immortal Li Minghua, I heard that after he was locked up, you are temporarily in charge of his special telecommunications team?"

Zhang Keqing seemed to complain unintentionally: "That's it, I can't bear this responsibility." ”

"How so? Oh, Li Minghua is angry, and his soldiers are also angry, and they dare not listen to the dispatch? Whose rule is this? Besides, Li Minghua has all entered the confinement room, what is he still angry about? ”

"That's not what I said, I specially asked Director Li, and after getting permission, I met with Li Minghua once, and asked him to hand it over, but people didn't buy it at all, and Director Li listened to my report and had no intention of pursuing it. In that case, I am happy to be idle. What's more-Zezhi, okay, you know the amount of alcohol I have, pour me less-I don't know Japanese, and many of the secret messages exchanged by Li Minghua are in Japanese. ”

Liu Ze was stunned and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, Li Minghua doesn't know Japanese, let alone edit the cipher code in Japanese." Isn't it possible that he will be proficient in Japanese in a month? ”

Zhang Keqing laughed and teased: "Then I don't know." I know that in addition to numbers, my Japanese knows the four directions of southeast, south, north, and west, and some of the telegrams left by Li Minghua are not classified level. This soup is well cooked, Zezhi, whoever marries you in the future is blessed. ”

There are many young people in No. 76, purely according to age, Zhang Keqing, who is in his forties, is more than ten or twenty years older than Liu Zezhi and Ni Xin, almost a generation, and he has a little elderly demeanor on weekdays, and it is rare to make a few jokes. Liu Zezhi said with a smile: "Born in troubled times, and we are doing what we do, maybe when will Lord Yama make a post and get married?" Forget it, don't hurt others and yourself. ”

"Look at what you said, you are not a front-line operative, there is not so much danger, don't worry about it. By the way, I want to do you a favor, I heard that your Japanese has improved by leaps and bounds? There are a few notes left by Li Minghua, all of them are very short, and they are not his handwriting, I don't know who wrote them handwritten on the white paper, it is estimated that it will not be a secret, but Li Minghua has a very close collection, and it is placed in the mezzanine of his desk drawer, I also found it by accident, and I didn't take it seriously, but there is a sheet with the two Chinese characters Ni Xin on it, alas, Japanese is always mixed with plausible Chinese characters, you will see what it is for me tomorrow. Now that Ni Xin is confined, it is best not to cause him trouble. ”

Tonight, Zhang Keqing's words are always a little wrong, Liu Zezhi was puzzled, but he didn't show it at all, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll take a look, I hope it can help." Here, have another drink. ”

Zhang Keqing covered the mouth of the cup with his hand: "Okay, don't drink it." Everyone's nerves have been tense these days, I'm leaving, you should rest early. ”
