Chapter 3: Final Steps

After closing the door, Xing Renju sat down and got up again, and turned on the radio in the room, the cost of this room is slightly higher than the others, and it is also because of this Panasonic radio.

At the same time as the radio was turned on, a song came out on the radio, and Xing Renju subconsciously glanced at the door, and then looked around, because the room was too quiet and there was a bug, which made him feel like he was standing naked on the street.

Xing Renju stood there, looking at the radio, thinking, and at the same time felt that the song in it was very good, and his mood was a little relaxed, he didn't know that the singer who sang this song was a Japanese woman named Shuko Yamaguchi, and he didn't know that this woman had a Chinese name called Li Xianglan, and he didn't know that a few years later, her song "Night Fragrance" was popular all over the world, and even Xing Renju, who was in prison, would hear it from time to time.

Xing Renju knew that the young man was lying, because what he asked was a set - on the day he checked in, he deliberately observed the hostel, carefully looked at the room card hanging on the wall of the counter downstairs, when he checked in, the entire hostel opened two single rooms, after he returned from Chen Wenjing, the rooms of the hostel were still in the same state, and the rest were all multi-person rooms, which is commonly known as the big room.

Therefore, the man said that the police searched three rooms, which was absolutely impossible, and only two single rooms were opened in the entire hostel, and in addition to his own one, there lived a young man from Xinjing in the other room, and he was not a trader, let alone mysterious.

From this, Xing Renju concluded that the man was lying, but compared to the calmness of the man today, and the panic on his face when he came back that day, he could conclude that the person who searched the room had told the man what he had told and taught him how to speak.

So, who is the enemy? Why look for Qimen?

Thinking of this, Xing Renju shook his head, feeling that none of this was important, what mattered was how to distract the enemy's attention and make them deviate from the direction of the investigation, and if the plan he had prepared three days ago was implemented, would it be successful?

In the house next door, Shin Dongjun listened carefully with headphones on, and in addition to listening to Xing Renju's movements, he was also listening to the songs on the radio, and sat on his chair with a somewhat lazy smile.

Xing Renju listened to the song, thought about every step of the plan in his mind, and felt that there was no problem, so he walked to the table, turned the radio down, and then deliberately made some noise, moved the chair to move the table, and then rolled up the drawings and put them in the vase next to him.

When Xing Renju put the drawings away, he deliberately picked up the vase and put it down, and put his hand a little heavier, so that the eavesdropper could hear that he had moved the vase. Then, Xing Renju packed up his things and went out, went to the restaurant opposite the hostel, ordered wine and food, and ate and drank slowly.

After Xing Renju left, Shin Dongjun immediately sent someone to the door of the restaurant to keep an eye on him: "The four of you are divided into two groups, one person goes into the restaurant to eat, one person pretends to wait outside, and the other two are waiting on both sides of the street, if he comes back before the search in the room is over, the two outside will have to find a way to intercept him." ”

The plainclothes immediately followed the order, and Shin Dong-joon immediately led people into Xing Renju's room, and according to what he had heard earlier, found the set of drawings in the vase.

Shin Dong-joon looked at the drawings and found that in addition to the detailed maps, there were many words that he couldn't understand at all, such as symbols or charms. He immediately took out his camera, asked someone to press the four corners, and took pictures one by one, and then restored the things.

When everyone left the room, Shin Dongjun stood there and thought about it again, then returned to the vase, deliberately moved the vase to a lower position, and exposed the mark at the bottom of the vase a little bit, so that Xing Renju could see that the vase had been moved, and then quickly left.

An hour later, Xing Renju returned to the room, and Shen Dongjun, who was in the hostel, heard the sound of Xing Renju moving the vase, as well as the sound of turning over the paper, and heard the sound of him opening the door and going out, everything seemed so hurried, at this time Shen Dongjun smiled and told his subordinates: "Keep an eye on him and see what he is doing." ”

Immediately afterwards, Shin Dongjun held the camera as if he was pinching some treasure, waiting for a reply from his subordinates, and half an hour later, his subordinates came back and reported: "He went to buy a train ticket to Mudanjiang!" ”

Shen Dongjun had a smile on his face, because when he first saw the map, he knew that what was drawn was the boundary of the Mudanjiang River, and he immediately got up and said, "Clean up here, let's go back to Harbin first, and we must get to the Mudanjiang River before him." ”

The plainclothes subordinates were surprised: "Section chief, what do you say about us?" ”

"Yes, we, I need competent people, and you are." Shin Dongjun smiled, "I will immediately transfer you out of the Mukden Police Station, and in the future, you will follow me back to the Police Department to listen to the errand." ”

Several plainclothes people looked at each other with happy expressions on their faces, and immediately packed up their things and left the house with Shin Dongjun.

That night, Shen Dongjun and a group of plainclothes people followed Xing Renju on the train, but Shen Dongjun took someone to get off in Harbin, because he had to go through some necessary procedures, inform the secretary general of the Ministry of Finance, and then transfer some manpower, and at the same time inform the Mudanjiang side that after Xing Renju arrived in Mudanjiang, they would keep an eye on him at the station and delay him as much as possible.

However, what Shin Dongjun didn't expect was that when the train left the station, Xing Renju jumped out of the train and left, returned to the station and bought a ticket back to Mukden.

The map that Xing Renju deliberately left for Shen Dongjun to find was not the location of Qimen at all, but the route map of the first-line Tuntiandifu, but it was only a road map to enter the area, and all the routes into it were made up by Xing Renju, and these mistakes would lead to the death of Shen Dongjun and his men.

Of course, Xing Renju didn't expect that although Shen Dongjun's action in the name of "suppressing bandits" in order to go to Qimen ultimately failed and lost all his manpower, he survived because of it, and then found out that Xing Renju had sent himself to the Daoli sub-prison of Harbin Prison.

Returning to Fengtian, he bought a set of clothes at a stall selling thrift on the street, messed up his hair, and squatted at the station for a day to observe, in addition to him carefully learning the Mukden accent, he also had to judge whether Shin Dongjun had found a problem, if there was a problem, there would definitely be additional manpower around the station to investigate, as well as related spies and plainclothes.

After observing for a day and not finding anything abnormal, Xing Renju hid in the slum all night, bought tools for shoe shine, and went to the Fengtian Police Station early the next day to wait for Pan Jiaming, no matter what, he had to tell Pan Jiaming to be vigilant.

When Pan Jiaming's people appeared at the corner of the street, Xing Renju looked up at him slightly, and when he passed by, he immediately said, "Officer, do you want to shine your shoes?" ”

When he said these words, Xing Renju used the accent of his hometown, which is also Pan Jiaming's hometown.

Pan Jiaming was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at him, immediately saw who he was, and then nodded and sat down.

Xing Renju polished his shoes and said in a low voice: "I was targeted, but I don't know the identity of the other party, but I lured them away, and now they are going to Mudanjiang with the fake picture I left, and they won't be able to come back for a while, I'm worried that when they are eyeing me, they may also find you, so come back and remind you." ”

"I'm fine here." Pan Jiaming pretended to look down at his shoes, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

Xing Renju polished his shoes and said: "I will probably stay here for a while, and then I will go to Harbin, you first help me investigate a person, this person is called Chen Daxu, a painter, but on the surface it should be a homeless man or a beggar, this person's personality is very weird, he speaks with a Jiangnan accent, and his hometown is in Longquan, Zhejiang." ”

"Okay." Pan Jiaming said happily, "I will let my friends in Harbin find a way, don't come here next time, it's too dangerous." It will take time to investigate me, and half a month later, on Sunday, we will meet in the church of Sita, and I will bring a message. ”

Subsequently, the two did not communicate again, Xing Renju helped him polish his shoes, collected the money, and waited for a while to make sure that no one was watching, and then left with his things.

After many days, when Xing Renju returned to Chen Wenjing's residence again, Zhang Molu was no longer hiding, but sitting there peacefully. After Xingren raised it in, he clasped his fists and saluted, while Zhang Molu stood up on the edge of the table and said: "Brother Xingren, I have been offended, I have no choice but to let you down." ”

Xing Renju smiled and said: "Since it is a peer, there is no need to say more, I am short of time, I want to know what I asked before, can Brother Zhang's senior apprentice do it?" ”

Zhang Molu didn't speak, just looked at Chen Wenjing on the side.

Chen Wenjing immediately said: "It can be done, but I personally think that Mr. Xing can't be too anxious." ”

"Why?" Xing Renju asked with some uneasiness.

Chen Wenjing said: "Master Wei and I both understand that Mr. Xing is worried that Qimen will be discovered, causing the strange goods in it to be stolen, and we also know that Mr. Xing is doing this to separate the clues, because after all, people have to grow old, and their memory will also decline when they get old, and sooner or later they will go to another world, and while leaving fake clues, they must also leave real clues." ”

Xing Renju was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Some of my careful thoughts have long been seen through by you, not because Xing Mou doesn't believe you, but because Xing Mou has a heavy responsibility, which is really helpless." ”

"Understood." Chen Wenjing also smiled, "So, Master and I think that if Mr. Xing really believes us, he can hand over some clues to us, and I will draw them into the painting at the right time, and on the other hand, Mr. Xing must also find a way to find my junior brother, because this plan must be assisted by him." ”

Although Chen Wenjing didn't say it, Xing Renju also understood the meaning of his words, that is, the false is true and the truth is false, so that between the true and the false, no one will find out the clues of Qimen so easily.

After arranging everything, Xing Renju left, stayed in Fengtian for another half a month, and half a month later went to the church to meet Pan Jiaming as agreed, but the news brought by Pan Jiaming surprised Xing Renju extremely much, because Chen Daxun is now in Harbin prison.

"What about the reason for going to jail?" Xing Renju was puzzled, "How could a person like him commit a crime?" There's no way he's connected to the organization. ”

Pan Jiaming frowned: "I don't know, I can't find out, but one thing is for sure, he was deliberately imprisoned, someone arranged it, and it was held in solitary confinement, my friend didn't see him at all, and he couldn't see him, he managed to check the roster of the Japanese side, and found that he was not on the list of Japanese at all, in other words, it is possible that even the Japanese did not know that such a person was held in prison, so it is certain that the person who got him in should be a person who has a close relationship with the senior officials of the puppet Manchurian government, Or just a high-ranking official of the puppet Manchurians. ”

Xing Renju sat there thinking about it for a long time before he said, "It's okay." ”

"Huh?" Pan Jiaming was very strange, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's too late, I have to go to Harbin too." Xing Renju said softly, "I don't know how long this war will last, the more troubled the times, the easier it is to have accidents, what I did is only the last few steps, and it is not safe outside, so I also want to go to prison, so I will go to the prison where Chen Daxu is located." ”

Pan Jiaming was anxious: "Do you think it's playing?" How many of the puppet prisons can get out if they go in and get out? ”

Xing Renju smiled: "Jia Ming, for me, dying in prison is not a good thing, as long as the plan can be completed, it doesn't matter." ”

"Brother Jiu!" Pan Jiaming once again mistakenly called Xing Renju's former name, because he was really anxious, "Is Qimen really that important?" Think about how much we sacrificed for filial piety back then? ”

Xing Ren nodded: "Important, that's my faith, it's the same as your faith." ”

Pan Jiaming didn't know how to respond, just asked, "You really decided?" ”

Xing Renju nodded silently, and Pan Jiaming took a deep breath: "I will arrange it, this matter is not difficult to do, but it takes time and a series of work needs to be done, otherwise people will find out that you are deliberately imprisoned, which is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger." ”

Xing Renju smiled and said: "My sheep is bait, there is a hook in the bait, and if the tiger eats it, it will get stuck in the neck." ”

After a brief goodbye to Xing Renju, he parted ways, and Xing Renju continued to stay in Mukden to wait for news, and then took a train to Harbin shortly after, and after living there for a while, he committed a crime in Harbin according to the instructions of Pan Jiaming and his friends, and then was arrested and imprisoned, and successfully entered the prison, and also met Chen Daxun smoothly, completing his final plan.

Since then, Xing Renju has never seen Pan Jiaming again, and he does not know that after he decided to commit suicide on the execution ground, Pan Jiaming, who had been transferred to the Puppet Manchurian Police Department, was also arrested and imprisoned for a cover operation, and was subsequently executed by the Puppet Manchurian side, and the place of execution was on the execution ground where Xing Renju died.

At that time, people gave up everything for their beliefs and ideals, and throughout China, their experiences may not even be an episode, but in the trajectory of their own lives, they will always revolve around a common melody.

……

When Shin Dong-jun, scarred and with nothing to find, returns to Harbin, he realizes that he has been tricked by Xing Renju, and he begins to take a strong interest in the person Xing Renju, and at the same time, he meets the mysterious masked man he once saw on the train again.

When Shin Dong-joon returned to his home in Harbin that day, he didn't notice anything unusual, and when he walked to the door, the nanny opened the door for him, helped him take off his coat, and told him that he would be ready to eat soon.

Shen Dongjun just nodded: "Eat later, I'm a little tired, go back to the study to rest for a while, and I'll call you later." ”

The nanny nodded and left, and Shin Dong-joon went straight to the second floor, and the moment he opened the study, he immediately pulled out the southern-style 16-shot pistol under his armpit and aimed it at the person sitting on the recliner with his back to him.

"Who are you?" Shin Dong-joon immediately asked.

The man got up and faced Shin Dong-joon, who realized that he was supposed to be the masked man on the train, as he was dressed exactly like that day, but Shin Dong-joon didn't put down his pistol because of this.

The masked man's hands hung down at his sides and said calmly, "I just came to tell you something about what you should know. ”

"Say." Shin Dongjun said simply, closed the door of the study, and stood against the door, raising the muzzle of the gun.

The masked man was obviously not afraid of his muzzle, but said: "I gave the information about Xing Renju that you are targeting, but only a part of it, this time you went to Mudanjiang, it was his plan, although I didn't know at first, because no one knew where the real Qimen was, only he and some people knew, as for who the other 'certain people' were, I am also investigating." ”

Shin Dong-joon asked, "Do you know him?" ”

"Yes, he knows me, too." The masked man's voice became hoarse, then he laughed again, "You don't have to be so nervous. ”

Shin Dongjun smiled: "Get used to it." You're here to tell me this? ”

"No, I'm here to tell you that you still have a chance." The masked man said, "I received the message that he would deliberately go to jail. ”

Shin Dongjun said strangely: "Deliberately imprisoned? ”

"Yes, it won't be long before he will be imprisoned here for committing a crime." The masked man said and opened the window of the study, "That way, you don't have to bother looking for him, I'm done talking, how to do it, you decide for yourself." ”

As he spoke, the masked man was about to come out of the window, and Shen Dongjun stepped forward and asked, "What did Secretary General Sun say?" ”

The masked man turned his head: "Do you really want to share the treasure of Qimen with him?" I don't believe it. ”

As he spoke, the masked man jumped out of the window, and when Shin Dongjun chased to the window and looked down, he saw the masked man jumping a few times and disappearing on the wall of the courtyard.

Shin Dongjun inserted the gun back, propped his hands on the windowsill, blowing the oncoming cold wind, which was already mixed with the fragrance of spring soil and grass, he knew that it was the last chance, and he also knew that the Japanese side was about to expand the war, and sooner or later there would be a war with the United States, as an intelligence officer, many judgments and professional sensitivities told him that it was suicide, because the United States was looking forward to a full-scale war to change its international status.

"Within twenty years, Manchukuo will become one of the richest countries in the world!"

Shen Dongjun remembered the words of the puppet emperor, and couldn't help but sneer, twenty years? Will Manchukuo last ten years? It's hard, it's good to last for five years.

Soon after, Shin Dong-jun really got his wish and saw Xing Renju again in the Daoli sub-prison......
