On the evening of April 7, Zhou Chengbin came to Xu Jianxue's liaison station after putting on makeup. Xu Jianxue said: "Zezhi said that he has an emergency and must meet you." He came in half an hour. You start with a cup of coffee. ”

Zhou Chengbin agreed, took off his top hat, took a sip of coffee, and said casually: "This coffee is good, authentic goods from Sumatra, I didn't expect that after a few years of fighting, Shanghai can still find it." ”

Xu Jianxue said with a smile: "You are really an expert, I still like Chinese tea, I don't know anything about coffee, I think it's all bitter." This is still brought by Zezhi, and he drank a cup on the day he brought it, and no one has drunk it there since. Xu Jianxue saw Zhou Chengbin's shaved head, and there were two rows of ring scars burned on the top of his head, and said strangely: "You are dressed like this?" Could it be that he has seen through the world, wants to leave the cliff, and become a monk? ”

Zhou Chengbin smiled silently. Unintentionally turned his head, and there was a silver-plated photo frame on a five-bucket wardrobe against the wall, which was a four-inch casual photo of Liu Zezhi. He wanted to say something, but before he could think of the wording, Liu Zezhi came, still holding a pot of Zhulan in his hand. Xu Jianxue took Zhulan, walked out of the room, and let the two of them talk alone.

Liu Zezhi said: "On April 5, Li Shiqun made an appointment to meet Ruan Bo for a 'small talk', and I was also present. From Ruan Bo's words, Li Shiqun analyzed two important pieces of information. I was worried that the Divine Needle would be in danger, and Ryuzo Yamaki was ordered to investigate. Moreover, in the past, when I impulsively killed the third wife of Shan Mu Long, it was Guo Xuan who ordered Ruan Bo to try to cover up the aftermath, but now it has also been revealed, and Ni Xin has taken over to continue the investigation. ”

Zhou Chengbin was in a heavy mood, and if the god needle Kong Wenqing and Liu Zezhi were exposed at the same time, the blow to the military commander's intelligence war in Shanghai would be fatal. He inquired in detail about what happened, and there was no better way for a while, so he had to say: "When I left Chongqing, Mr. Mao promised to officially activate the Shen Needle on May 1. Once I've got in touch with him, I'll try to cover him. At the moment, you can only respond to changes with the same and deal with them carefully. ”

Liu Zezhi sighed: "What I am most worried about now is your safety, Li Shiqun has already guessed your next move." I suspect that he and Tanaka Katsuei will set up a game for you, and Ruan Bo's security measures will also be strengthened, in addition to the bodyguards on the surface, and maybe there will be a secret sentinel. And you can't give up on the plan to get rid of Ruan Bo. In the current situation, it is difficult for me and Shenzhu to help. ”

Zhou Chengbin thought about it and couldn't make up his mind. The work of reorganizing the Shanghai station has just started, and there are a lot of things, and at this time I have an accident and I have lost all my efforts. But getting rid of Ruan Bo was an order personally given by Boss Dai, and as a subordinate, there was no room for bargaining at all. What's more, Ruan Bocun is a huge threat for a day. It is not difficult to see that under Li Shiqun's soft and hard hands, Ruan Bo has gradually evolved from a last resort to a semi-active cooperation, and he is one step away from taking the initiative to do evil.

Liu Zezhi said again: "Don't worry, Boss Dai gave you a month." Li Shiqun often said: When you can't make up your mind, you might as well slow down and do something else, and maybe you will be able to solve it in a flash. ”

Zhou Chengbin couldn't help laughing: "I often hear you talk about Li Shiqun's words." Even though I'm a bystander, I think it makes sense. This person has outstanding ability, a generation of heroes, but unfortunately, his ethics are too poor and he has gone the wrong way. Well, listen to you, put it aside for a few days and see what happens to No. 76. Did you find out the news of Li Zhiyong? ”

Liu Zezhi sighed: "I found it." He...... It's dead. Li Shiqun's statement is that he was tortured by electrocution, he could not bear the torture, and after confessing, multiple rescues failed, and the guide died. I don't know if what Li Shiqun said is true or not. There is a saying, I want to ask you, in Chongqing, were you imprisoned in the Xifeng concentration camp? ”

Zhou Chengbin was very strange: "Yes." But how do you know? ”

Liu Zezhi replied: "Of course, Mr. Mao told me in a secret telegram. didn't say much, just mentioned: Zhou Chengbin violated the latent discipline and acted without authorization, causing extremely bad consequences, and was imprisoned in the Xifeng concentration camp after being suspended. When employing people, we must be extraordinarily lenient and allow them to make meritorious contributions. Take this as a precept. I think it may be killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, no, this word is inappropriate, you are more important than me, you are the monkey, I should be the chicken. It should be said that it is a song of seer. ”

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but smile and asked, "Zezhi, I also ask you a digression: you have been with Mr. Mao for more than a year, and now you have been by Li Shiqun's side for more than a year, and you are still secretaries." Camp and faith aside, these two people - what do you think? ”

In the face of Zhou Chengbin, Liu Zeyi, who is quite deep in the city, has always been straightforward and has no scruples. He immediately replied, "It's hard to serve." ”

Zhou Chengbin said, Liu Zezhi then said: "However, what I did was not because of a certain person, it was all for the country. Now Mr. Mao is my commander, and Li Shiqun is my enemy. Changing places, assuming that it is Mao Renfeng who is in cahoots with the Japanese wolf bèi and betrays the interests of the country, I will also swear to the end with him. ”

Liu Zezhi's words are also Zhou Chengbin's innermost opinion. Without waiting for him to speak, Liu Zezhi said something he didn't expect: "One more word, if there is no war, then I probably won't do this business, but a qualified surgeon." If, by chance, I still want to be an agent, I want to have a commander like you. ”

Zhou Chengbin was stunned for a moment, his heart warmed, and then he smiled: "It's far away." Let's be serious. I have accepted your construction and contacted Wuchen, the presiding officer of Puji Temple. He read Du Yuesheng's 'handwritten letter', promised me to go to Puji Temple, and also gave me a deacon: the head of the vegetarian restaurant in the lower courtyard is the director of the vegetarian restaurant. I took office on April 9th, and my Dharma name is emptiness. At present, in addition to you, my assistant Chen Jinsong and liaison Zhai Yanmin also know my fake identity. ”

Liu Zezhi lowered his head and thought about it. said: "I have a way: I will calculate. ”

"Tell me about it."

"It is estimated that Katsuei Tanaka will set up a game to lead you to appear. Why don't we let them sing a one-man show, and wait until they think that you dare not show your face, or that you have no plan to get rid of Ruan Bo at all, they have miscalculated. At this time, let's do it again? Although we don't know what kind of game they set up now, we might as well use static braking, wait for them to make a move, and then strike first. ”

Zhou Chengbin hesitated: "What you mean is that no matter what Tanaka Katsuei does this time, we won't make a move, and when he thinks the action has failed, we will do it unexpectedly." If this is the case, we need very correct information, and we must keep in touch with each other, at this time, Ni Xin is re-investigating the truth of the death of Yamaki Longsan's wife, will you be in danger? ”

Liu Zezhi smiled and said: "Those who do what we do, danger is a shadow, and death is fate." Don't worry, I'll be careful. ”

On April 8, the headline of the news section of the "Declaration" set up a special column to commend the outstanding goodwill ambassadors who cooperated with the Japanese Empire, and Nguyen Bo ranked third in the list of six people. Some of these people have received a large amount of material rewards, and some have been awarded certain official positions, and in addition to a sum of cash, Nguyen Bo will also go to Japan's Tokyo Police University on 12 April for a two-year study.

Since Ruan Bo's identity has not yet been determined, both No. 76 and the Japanese command said that they would see him off. Li Shiqun ordered Liu Zezhi: "Zezhi, this time Ruan Bo has done us a great favor, he has been gone for two years, and he will definitely be reused when he comes back, and he may not be able to take up the post of No. 76." You book two tables of banquets, don't have too many people, invite a dozen or so people to eat for him. By the way, let's first go and check what day the practice wine arrangement of General Kage Zhenzhao of the headquarters is, don't be heavy, lest we say that we are not sincere, just to be an empty favor. ”

"Yes. Director, are you personally participating? ”

"It depends on the situation, I've been too busy lately, I must go when I have time, I'm afraid I won't be able to take a break temporarily."

After discussing with the chief of general affairs of the Japanese army headquarters, Liu Zezhi set the practice wine at the Jinjiang Hotel on the evening of the 10th. The team leaders of No. 76 and Ruan Bo did not know each other, and they couldn't talk about friendship, Liu Zezhi was afraid that no one would support him, so he messed up the errand, so he took the trouble to notify Li Shiqun one by one, and finally determined the list of sixteen people, plus Ruan Bo and himself, a total of eighteen people attended the dinner.

Li Shiqun was unable to attend for the time being, and everyone at the banquet toasted down with a circle of wine, wishing Ruan Bo a smooth journey, and there was nothing else to say. In order to be afraid of the cold scene, Liu Zezhi, who practiced the dinner party, had no choice but to gag and use all his skills to mobilize the atmosphere. Finally managed to cope with the meal.

The next day, April 11, more than a dozen subordinates of the Japanese army headquarters also held a banquet for Ruan Bo. Kage Zuo Zhenzhao was very face-saving, and after arriving, he drank a glass of wine and sat for a while before saying goodbye and leaving in the name of having something.

On the morning of 12 April, Katsuei Tanaka asked to see Li Shiqun. He said: "Director Li, I have made careful arrangements for these two dinners, as long as Zhou Chengbin shows up, he will be unable to fly, but unfortunately, there is no movement at all." Could it be that we misguessed the goal of Zhou Chengbin's next move? And said that he did not get information that Ruan Bo was about to leave Shanghai for Japan? ”

"It's impossible to get information without it. There are undercover agents of the military commander in the Japanese army headquarters, and this cannot be wrong. We are number 76...... Although it was said that Li Minghua's identity was confirmed, it was also ...... that "Li Minghua's incident happened before Tanaka Shengrong came to No. 76, and Li Shiqun was reluctant to say any more."

Katsuei Tanaka asked, "Director Li, what should we do next?" The information deliberately leaked to the outside world is that Nguyen Bo will take the passenger ferry to Tokyo this evening. Do you want to keep the show, or do you want to think of another way? ”

Li Shiqun paced back and forth, undecided for a moment. Really let Ruan Bo go, this person's value should not have been squeezed dry, and it is still useful for the time being. If you don't let him go, how can you justify yourself? I remember that the Jew William Smith was already on the boat, and everyone was relieved, thinking that it was done, but Zhou Chengbin unexpectedly did it at sea. A lesson from the past must be guarded against. He said: "Find a place to hide Ruan Bo's father and daughter." Find another stand-in who is going to Japan, make the movement bigger, contact a few people to go to the dock together, and send this stand-in on the boat. ”
