At seven o'clock in the evening of the 21st, Liu Zezhi came to the confinement room after work and said to the guards: "Director Ni is in that house?" Open the door, I'll go see him. ”

The guards smiled and said: "In the innermost private room, I just sent dinner to Director Ni, and I also sent in a few newspapers casually, don't worry, Director Ni is fine, Secretary Liu, you come...... On the orders of Director Li, right? ”

Liu Zezhi was noncommittal, smiled, and patted the back of his head: "Open the door." You two check it out: it's two changes of clothes and two packs of cigarettes......"

The guard smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, please come in, you don't have to look at it...... No, it's been checked, no problem. ”

Seeing Liu Zezhi, Ni Xin, who was eating, was surprised and delighted, and said, "Why are you here?" It can't be that you came quietly without the director, right? Oops, why are you hurt again? Does it matter? Come, sit down and speak. He sat on the bed and gave up the only chair to Liu Zezhi.

Liu Zezhi put a small cloth bag on the bed and replied, "Don't worry about me first, even if I come without telling the director, the director won't kill me because of this." In the past, Lao Zhao was in prison, I went to see him and you complained about me, I said that in the future, if you go to prison, I will never go to see you, now you are just locked up, it doesn't hurt to come and see you. ”

Ni Xin, who has always had nothing to do with Liu Zezhi, smiled bitterly and said: "I'm unlucky enough, you still say cool things to hurt me." Zezhi, I'm sorry, because of my fault, let Chen Jinsong run away. ”

"How could it be your fault? Don't you want to catch him? It's that he's too cunning. Liu Zezhi picked up Ni Xin's cup, drank two sips of water, and said: "Old Ni, you don't have to admit your mistake with me, the 76th has not been good recently, and the gold can't be found, although the biggest responsibility should be General Ono's, but Shanghai is the world of the Japanese...... I know your relationship with General Ono, but in my heart, like me, you are first of all the person of No. 76, a subordinate of Director Li, and now Chen Jinsong has run away again...... I mean...... Director Li also has his difficulties, and if the skin does not have hair, will it be attached? I ......"

Ni Xin interrupted Liu Zezhi's words: "Zezhi, don't say it, I understand, and I know what to do, you pass a message to the director for me: I have never forgotten my identity, and it is the duty of my subordinates to share responsibility and slander for the chief." ”

Liu Zezhi smiled: "I know that you understand things best." Lao Ni, I went to get you clothes before I came, and I met Meng Xiaojie, seeing that he looked depressed, alas, I couldn't help but remember that two years ago, Director Li didn't spit out and accept me, at that time, I was also suffering from gains and losses, and I was depressed. Old Ni, I know you have said a lot of good things for me. ”

Ni Xin smiled: "It can be regarded as a word of conscience, knowing that I am good to you, and always targeting me." Meng Xiaojie...... He followed me to participate in the operation, and there was nothing suspicious about him, what was wrong? Didn't pass through Guò Pingchuan-kun's screening? ”

"I heard that it's a pass, otherwise it would be impossible for him to hang around in a one-person dormitory, it seems that because you were locked up, there was no specific position arranged, but no one said this, he may not have a bottom in his heart."

Ni Xin replied: "Zezhi, I won't tell you the truth, I took the initiative to ask him to my intelligence department, and I wanted to appoint him as the leader of the second intelligence team, but this was locked up and negligent. If it's convenient, you can talk to him for me. ”

"Forget it, I'm not in a hurry for a day or two, I'm Director Li's secretary now, as soon as I open my mouth, even if it's not what the director means, others will misunderstand, he will be your person in the future, capable people always have a temper, unlike me, I don't have the ability so I don't have a temper, and I am bullied by you." Enwei can only be controlled by virtue, this favor is still up to you. ”

Ni Xin couldn't cry or laugh: "When did I bully you?" To tell you the truth, I have always suspected that there is an action group of military commanders in the Japanese military hospital, and I want to arrange Meng Xiaojie to be in the hospital and secretly track it down. ”

Liu Ze was overjoyed, and replied quietly: "He is a doctor, of course he is more suitable than anyone else." Your suspicions...... Well, it makes sense, Mianguanyi absconded, and it was impossible for no one to cooperate. Okay, I'll talk to him for you, in case you sit through the prison and can't get out for ten or eight years, don't let people wait. ”

"Ten years, eight years? I don't care about you! Can't you hope I'm better? It's good for you to say it in advance so that he can be mentally prepared. ”

Liu Zezhi got up and said, "It's been half an hour, you continue to eat, I'll go back." I brought a lot of specialties from Wuhu, crab roe buns, dried tea, saury, when I left, Lao Zhao went to the canteen to ask for a few dishes, and said that we would eat together at half past seven, and I was tired all these days. ”

"Then go ahead, and don't forget to leave me a copy."

walked out of the confinement room and walked towards the dormitory, and met Ji Qun with two boxes of moon cakes at the gate, Liu Zezhi greeted him with a smile: "Sister Ji, please let me go for you." ”

Ji Qun handed over the moon cake and asked, "Mr. Liu, are you injured?" ”

"It doesn't matter, a little bruise, don't let Teacher Xu know, I'm afraid she will be worried. After a few days, when the injury was a little better, I went to see her. ”

"Okay, I'll go first."

"I'll send you." While the two of them were walking, they chatted with each other, and when they arrived at the bus stop seventy or eighty meters away from the gate, Liu Zezhi called the three wheels, and saw the three wheels go away, before taking the moon cakes back to the dormitory.

At the door of the dormitory, Liu Zezhi ran into Zhang Shengyu who was going out and asked, "Go out?" Is Lao Meng here? You're dressed well, why are you going? ”

Zhang Shengyu was a little uneasy, and said with a smile: "He went to the cafeteria to eat, the door was not locked, and he will come back in a while, are you looking for him?" I'm going to meet a friend. ”

Liu Zezhizhi said that he just came to Shanghai, what kind of friend will he be, this friend lives in Sima Road*, right? didn't reveal it at the moment, and said: "Then you go and get busy, you saw Lao Meng tell him: Director Ni said that he will be appointed as the leader of the second team of the Intelligence Department, and Director Ni will personally explain the specific work." ”

Meng Xiaojie and Zhang Shengyu live in the same dormitory, and the dormitory is on the first floor.

Back in the dormitory, Zhao Jingdong and Pingchuan Xinye and Asano were already sitting at the table waiting, Zhang Keqing and Mao Jun were arranging the dishes and chopsticks, Liu Zezhi took off his coat, hurriedly washed his hands, and said with a smile: "It's late, I'm sorry." Lao Zhao, I have an injury, I can't drink so much, I'll pour you half a cup. ”

Zhao Jingdong asked, "Who gave you the moon cakes?" ”

"You're nosy! The big box is for you, and no one is allowed to touch the small box. Liu Zeyi said as he deliberately put the small box of moon cakes into the inner bedroom. Several people knew each other and smiled.

Walking out of the bedroom, Zhao Jingdong asked again: "Did you really go to see Ni Xin?" Did Director Li agree, or did it ...... He's okay, Liu Zezhi replied: "Lao Ni is fine, it's not a big deal to be locked up, except for Pingchuanjun, who here hasn't been locked up?" I made a mistake at work, and I was locked up for a few days, and the director was angry and came out. I went quietly, Director Li didn't know. ”

Zhao Jingdong sighed: "Your courage is too big, if you don't cause something every few days, you will be uncomfortable, right?" Forget it, I won't talk about you, when Director Li knows, hum, Ni Xin is out, it's your turn to go in! ”

Liu Zezhi was very dissatisfied, and he was about to sneer at each other as soon as he glared, but Hirakawa Xinye quickly changed the topic: "I went to everything, what are you talking about?" It's not a big deal, right? Asano-kun, why didn't Yamaki-kun come? I saw him when I got off work. ”

Asano replied with one click: "Ryuzo is still like that, he stays alone after work, he wasn't like this before." Alas, Hirakawa-kun, you came late, there are some things you don't know, Ryuzo he ...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Zhao Sang, that batch of gold is still missing? ”

Zhao Jingdong was very frustrated: "Yes, there are no clues at all, it seems that the ground has evaporated." Asano-kun, what clues do you have there? ”

Asano shook his head with a click: "No." Originally, I was expecting to catch Chen Jinsong and make a breakthrough, but alas, the Shanghai Station of the Military Command was more difficult to deal with than the other. ”

Zhao Jingdong disagreed: "Don't let others be angry and destroy their own prestige, what's wrong with Shanghai Station?" The whole army was wiped out three times before and after, the former stationmaster Guo Xuan died on No. 76, and the current stationmaster Zhou Chengbin also fell into our hands, Duan Wentao, Yang Jun, Li Zhiyong, Yang Shuang, Ruan Bo, Long Ruikang, Sun Wenkai, Li Li, Zhai Yanmin...... The dead die, and the descending descends. Zezhi, what's wrong with you? So pale? ”

"Oh, it's okay, I don't feel it when I'm busy, as soon as I sit down, the wound suddenly hurts, I'll go take two pills, Lao Zhao, pour me another glass of wine." By the way, Lao Zhao, leave a copy of the crab roe bun and dried tea for Ni Xin, put it in a paper bag and put it outside the window, the weather is cold, and it should be able to be stored for two days. ”

A few days ago, they were busy, it was rare to relax, a few people chatted while drinking, and they were happy, and they said that they would leave Ni Xin's Wuhu specialties to eat them, and the small box of moon cakes was also eaten in three pieces, leaving only one "pressure box".

Soon, it was more than ten o'clock, Zhao Jingdong simply cleaned up and said, "Let's go, Zezhi just came back and was injured again, let him rest early." Zezhi, who originally wanted to leave Ni Xin's crab roe buns and dried tea, also finished eating. ”

Liu Zezhi said with a smile: "I'll finish eating after eating, even if he doesn't have a mouthful, you don't care, I'll clean it up slowly, my injuries are not so strict." ”

In the dormitory on the first floor, Meng Xiaojie was half-lying on the bed, at a loss, not knowing how to get in touch with Chen Jinsong. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up to wash, prepared to sleep, turned off the lights, closed the curtains, and suddenly vaguely saw a few words on the windowsill, he fixed his mind, looked sideways slightly, and looked at the moonlight, the handwriting was much more obvious: a concentric circle with a triangle in the middle, the contact sign of the military commander! There are also a few lines of numbers, which should be the radio frequency. There is one more time: 12:15. Someone once came to this house and dipped the words on the windowsill and wrote these words, this person is his comrade-in-arms! And this is the dormitory at number 76!

Meng Xiaojie's heart jumped a few times, could it be ...... No, it wasn't for him to inquire, what he had to do now was: listen to the radio broadcasts of the frequency written on the windowsill at a quarter past twelve o'clock in the evening. He quietly wiped the words on the windowsill, as if feeling the body temperature of the unknown comrade-in-arms: at this moment, he was finally no longer lonely.

Could this be a trap? Meng Xiaojie suddenly opened the drawer, and sure enough, a pictorial of "Good Friends" of the month was impressive! He calmed down and quickly denied the possibility of a trap: before leaving, in addition to Chen Jinsong's contact location in the seamen's club, Shangfeng also prepared an alternate contact method for him: to pass the guò radio station and send out the password. The parent copy of the password was the pictorial "Liangyou" published in Shanghai that month. The frequency is decided on an ad hoc basis, waiting for a notification, and the sign used to identify the notification is a concentric circle with a triangle in the center. In addition to himself, only Zhou Chengbin knows, Chen Jinsong may not know, and Chen Jinsong did not fall into the hands of No. 76.

Obviously, the comrades-in-arms who secretly came to get in touch with him also knew about this qiē, did Zhou Chengbin manage to inform him? What surprised Meng Xiaojie even more was that this comrade-in-arms could enter and leave the dormitory at No. 76 at will, who could he be?
