Li Shiqun is a smart man. He had already inquired about the background of the King of Ryukyu through the clear air, that was a figure who passed through the sky, and he must not be provoked, judging from his experience in dealing with the Japanese for many years, this time the trick of pretending to be stupid and stunned was not easy to use, and the result of angering the other party could only be that the military police copied the seventy-sixth.

This situation is absolutely not allowed to happen, otherwise the face of the secret service headquarters will be completely gone, Li Shiqun greeted him with a smile, and said sincerely after asking what he meant: "I don't ask too much about the specific work below, maybe Wu Sibao and them are messing around without permission, please give me ten minutes, I'll verify." ”

The royal ryu king prepared the number of ways to salute first and then soldier, Li Shiqun was so polite, he was inconvenient to have a seizure, sitting in the office and watching Li Shiqun make a call.

Li Shiqun finally figured out what was going on on the phone call, and today the No. 76 Guard Brigade had indeed been on duty in the Public Concession, and had arrested a person and returned, and in less than ten minutes, Shuangxi, whose face was covered with blood, was brought up, and his clothes from the waist down were all wet, and he was obviously imprisoned in a water prison.

King Ryu knew that this was Chen Zikun's adjutant, and proposed to take people away, Li Shiqun agreed, and promised to investigate to the end to see who was dismantling the platform of the imperial organ.

Shuangxi's mind was still clear, and he told King Ryu in the car that Chen Zikun had fled when he was arrested, but he didn't know whether he had escaped.

King Ryu sent someone to send Shuangxi to the Japanese hospital in Hongkou, called back to the office to ask if any trace of Chen Zikun had been found, and the answer was no, and after contacting Li Yaoting and Su Qingyan, there was no result.

The other party may have thought that the assassination was arranged by himself, and the king of Goryu was annoyed, and he secretly made up his mind that he must make the troublemaker pay.

At the same time, in a private house in Hongkou, Chen Zikun sat on a chair bare-chested, and a woman in her thirties took a small tweezer to take out a deformed bullet from his wound, then wiped the wound with alcohol, applied medicinal powder, and wrapped it with a bandage.

Liang Maocai handed over the wine jug, Chen Zikun took a small sip, and praised: "I thought it was Japanese sake, but it turned out to be Nantai sorghum roast." As he spoke, he took a big sip, looked at the woman who went out to pour water, and said, "Your daughter-in-law?" ”

Liang Maocai nodded: "Yes, her name is Haruko Yanagi and she is Japanese." When he said this, there was a faint helplessness and resoluteness in his eyes.

Chen Zikun was silent, and only said after a while: "You just haven't been home for ten years because of this?" ”

Liang Maocai shook his head and nodded again: "I don't have the face to go back, and I can't go back, they can't tolerate her, Haruko is a Japanese after all." ”

Haruko Yanagi outside smiled at them, a sweet smile.

Chen Zikun patted Liang Maocai on the shoulder: "Isn't it just that I found a Japanese girl, what a big deal, this is to win glory for the country." ”

Liang Maocai smiled, his face was wrinkled, but he found a trace of the wild and uninhibited feeling of the past.

"Come back with me, I can accommodate her." Chen Zikun glanced at Haruko Yanagi outside the door.

Liang Maocai hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

……

Chen Zikun returned to the French Concession safe and sound, everyone was relieved, wanted to retaliate but had no way to start, No. 76 was heavily guarded, unable to attack, Li Shiqun, Ding Mocun and other spy leaders lived in a simple place, their whereabouts were secretive, it was difficult to start, and when they were worried, a woman came to Li Yaoting's villa.

This woman is Tang Yan, who has disappeared from Chen Zikun's sight for a long time, she brought a flower basket to visit the wounded, which surprised everyone, Chen Zikun's injury is confidential, few people in Shanghai know about it, Tang Yan actually knows, and can accurately find Chen Zikun's residence, it seems that the intelligence work of *** is indeed good.

After so many years, the feud between Chen Zikun and Tang Yan has long since disappeared with the wind, the two faced each other calmly, and the others quietly withdrew from the room.

"You're old." Tang Yan sighed and said.

"You're still so young, and your hair is all jet black." Chan said.

Tang Yan smiled self-deprecatingly: "It costs a lot to maintain this green silk, by the way, is the family okay, Yan'er is good?" ”

Chen Zikun's heart moved, why didn't Tang Yan ask others, only Yan'er, it must have been her daughter's name that made her heart entangled for a long time.

At this time, it is inappropriate to reminisce about the old relationship, Chen Zikun coped with a few words, and diverted the topic: "You came this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as looking at me." ”

Tang Yan said: "The first is to come to see you, and the second is to warn you not to do stupid things, the person who assassinated you was not Li Shiqun." ”

"Oh, who's that?"

"Zhou Fohai!" Chen Zikun's heart was shocked, when did he offend this Buddha.

Zhou had been the deputy director of the Kuomintang Propaganda Department before, and he was also a member of the Central Committee, but he was still worse than Chen Zikun, and after this duke followed Wang Jingwei's rebellion, he held an important position in the Nanjing puppet government, concurrently serving as Minister of Finance, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Secretary General of the Central Political Committee, and a special agent for internal affairs and finance.

Tang Yan saw that Chen Zikun was confused, and reminded him: "Does your negotiation with the imperial authorities involve the issue of the candidate for the governor of Jiangdong Province?" ”

Chan nodded.

Tang Yan said: "It was this matter that angered Zhou Fohai, the candidate for the governor of Jiangdong, he already had a draft, how could he allow others to decide, even the Japanese should respect his opinion, but he didn't want to easily turn his face with the Japanese, so he took measures against you, No. 76 Li Shiqun and he did not get along, and he directly delegated the following people to do this." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Skipping the order is not chaotic." ”

Tang Yan said with a smile: "Not only that, the 76th is in chaos internally, gangs are formed, high-level struggles kill people without blood, and middle-level struggles are swords, see who is not pleasing to the eye, shoot them directly, dig a pit inside the organ and bury it, there are always a few people missing in a month, everyone has long been used to seeing it." ”

Chen Zikun was speechless.

Tang Yan said again: "There is another person who helps Zhou Fohai deal with you." ”

"Who?"

"Zhang Xiaolin, he conspired with Zhou Fohai and prepared to become the pseudo-governor of Zhejiang Province, in order to repay Zhou, he used resources to participate in the plan to assassinate you."

Chen Zikun nodded silently, and said after a while: "I have one last question." ”

"Please."

"I want to know, is there anything you *** don't know about the secrets of Shanghai Beach?"

Tang Yan shook her head: "As long as we want to know, we will definitely know that Shanghai Tang is a paradise for spies from all sides, you have me, I have you, as long as you are willing to pay the price, there is no secret at all." ”

Chen Zikun didn't feel good in his heart, and it seemed that he knew everything about the collusion between himself and the imperial organs.

Tang Yan said: "We believe that you are patriotic, and sometimes appropriate compromise and exchange are necessary, but I want to remind you that you must not fake when it is true." ”

Chen Zikun was silent for a long time: "I know." ”

"Then I'll take my leave, you can call this if you have something." Tang Yan left a business card and flew away.

The position on the business card is the chief reporter of the Shanghai station of the Central News Agency.

……

Chen Zikun decided to attack Zhang Xiaolin first, to deal with this kind of gangster, ordinary means are useless, only by enabling the fresh face to penetrate the interior can it work, after thinking about it, there is no suitable candidate, and the last name jumped into his mind.

Lin Huaibu, this young man is bold and careful, and his marksmanship is excellent, so he can use it for a while.

Lin is an ordinary Chinese arrester in the patrol room of the French Concession, and when he was off-duty, he was invited to a tea room with Chen Zikun's business card, and when he saw Chen Zikun's pale face and obviously injured, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Chen Dashuai, what's wrong with you." ”

Chen Zikun waved his hand: "It's okay, it's Zhang Xiaolin's black hand under this dog." ”

Lin Huaibu gritted his teeth: "Zhang Xiaolin, a traitor, will kill him sooner or later." ”

Chen Zikun originally prepared a set of rhetoric, agitating the law or something, but now it seems that he doesn't use it at all, and he gets straight to the point: "Xiaolin, I called you here to discuss the matter of eliminating harm for the people, kill Zhang Xiaolin, and warn those traitors who fight for the tiger." ”

Lin Huaibu said: "Go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, a handsome word." ”

It's good to be young, Chen Zikun sighed in his heart, as if he saw himself when he was twenty years old.

"It's not so dangerous, we have already planned a plan, Zhang Xiaolin is greedy for life and afraid of death, he has become vigilant, he is recruiting bodyguards, you have a clean foundation, you are not afraid of investigation, I will send you to Zhang's Mansion as a bodyguard, you find an opportunity to shoot him to death, after the matter is completed, the state will reward you with 50,000 yuan, if you want, I will help you get a detective of the law patrol room."

Lin Huaibu became excited, the conditions were too generous, and he was about to move: "When will it start?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "I will go to the interview tomorrow." ”

……

Lin Huaibu was really introduced to Zhang Xiaolin's house as a bodyguard, he had done patrols, and his courage and marksmanship were good, but he could only be a driver when he first arrived, and the plan had to be carried out slowly.

At the beginning of May, the war clouds on the European continent were thick, Germany and Britain and France were about to go to war, but the concession was still singing and dancing, the French army, the British navy, was the strongest in the world, how could the defeated army of Germany dare to speak bravely, even if the worst outcome was just to reproduce the situation of the European war, fighting a positional war in the suburbs of Paris, of course, that situation would not appear, because France had the world's strongest Maginot Line, hundreds of miles of mountains were hollowed out, machine guns and cannons were dense, tunnels stretched for thousands of miles, and water and food were enough to live for ten years, The ammunition is enough to fight for twenty years, so there is no need to worry at all.

After the resumption of negotiations delayed by the assassination, this time the imperial authorities and Chen Zikun were much more cautious, and did not continue to meet in Shanghai, but chose Beitai, which was acceptable to both sides.

Chen Zikun went to the countryside in a special car of the imperial organ, there was a motorcycle of the Japanese military police in front of him, and he felt very strange, the outside was wide and horizontal, poppies were blooming, every few kilometers was a gun tower, barbed wire and trenches abounded, and the green gauze tents that were easy to hide traces were all destroyed, and Beitai had become the bag of the Japanese.

The Japanese army's cage policy greatly squeezed the living space of the guerrillas, and even the mountainous areas close to the plains were no longer safe, and they could only operate in the deep mountains and old forests, and the troops were seriously reduced, not to mention food, even salt could not be guaranteed, and the soldiers were in ragged clothes and covered with skin and bones.

Gai Longquan and Chen Shou were extremely thin, with a full beard, sitting together with a long sigh, their hands kept scratching their bodies, and from time to time they pinched out a louse.

"This is a matter of infamy through the ages, who is going to go?" Chan looked around at the two of them.
