Wei Eryue seemed to be moved by what I said, and thoughtfully took my words: "Then what should I do next?" Going back and telling your mother obviously won't work, but you can't let it go. If your second brother is still alive, if he really falls into the hands of bandits, he may not be able to die without help! ”

Her worries hit the most tangled part of my heart, so I held my forehead and asked her tentatively, "Why don't I send a telegram to my eldest brother and ask him to use the resources around him to help find it?" I still call my dad, but he's so busy right now that he's not much better off than my mom. ”

The two of us spent a long time thinking about it, but we didn't make much progress in the conclusion. In the end, Wei Eryue reacted faster than me, she patted her thigh and suddenly realized: "Ranran, Gu Zuoyan is so powerful, why don't you ask him to help with this!" ”

Originally, I avoided Gu Zuoyan, but once I asked him, I couldn't wait for him to be on call. I found the photo studio that had changed its door, and left a message with the code he had taught me last time. In less than half an hour, he was sitting peacefully across from me and drinking coffee: "Why did you think of coming to me?" Or do you figure it out? ”

I rubbed my napkin anxiously, and in a moment the flat white cloth had been rubbed out of shape. I looked at Gu Zuoyan, who was now leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed, looking at me with a playful expression. Psychologically, this state of his is called "self-preservation". What kind of answer did he want?

I straightened my shoulders to break the silence: "I am indeed here to tell you today, if you need help in the future, I am willing to help you." I've thought about it, my family background is innocent, my experience is simple, if I'm willing to do something for you, sure. ”

Gu Zuoyan looked at me quietly, he looked like an examiner in the examination room, if I had any conspiracy, he would definitely be able to see through it at a glance. He still asked, "And then?" ”

I spread my hands and gave him a blank look in response.

Gu Zuoyan slowly straightened his collar and said reluctantly: "Forgive me for being careful, I think you have something to ask me for." ”

I was most worried about being debunked by him and then rejected my request. But when he broke it, I had the courage to put all my worries behind: "You said so, I naturally don't need to hide it anymore." I know that you and your 'comrades' have great powers and have your own channels to get a lot of information that no one else can get. I blushed and smiled flatteringly: "So I think you can help me check whether my second brother is alive or dead." ”

The surprise on Gu Zuoyan's face was not the slightest hint of adulteration: "Didn't your second brother study in the United States?" My 'comrades' are not so powerful, and we are beyond the reach of the United States when it is so far away. ”

I was busy explaining: "The last time I heard from him was not in the United States, but in Jiangxi. Seeing Gu Zuoyan's bewildered face, I added: "As soon as he heard that China and Japan were going to war, how could he be willing to stay in the United States and stand by?" So he simply came to the first cut and then played, and took a leave of absence to return to China. It's just that he didn't expect to come back all the way but nowhere to be found. His companions looked for him for two days, and they didn't see anyone, died or body, and they were worried that they would also suffer an accident, so they had to leave first. They sent me a package when they settled in, and the news had turned old by the time I received it, two months ago. “

Gu Zuoyan put on a serious expression: "You mean she has been missing for two months?" ”

I subconsciously licked my dry lips: "Well, he disappeared while walking on the mountain road, and everyone suspects that he either rolled down the cliff and his bones are gone, or he was captured by the bandits on the mountain, ready to take a handful of him." But now that so much time has passed, there is not even a little news, what is the reason. ”

Gu Zuoyan rubbed his index finger on his lips a few times, and solemnly promised: "I have a way to find out about your brother, but the resources of the organization cannot be used casually, and our comrades also have to take great risks. ”

I interrupted him: "You don't have to be embarrassed, I came to you for help today, naturally I won't let you sell me so much in vain, and I will definitely die if I need help in the future." ”

Gu Zuoyan still looked iron-faced and selfless: "But we also need to examine your value, and then judge whether it is worth the risk of our comrades." ”

I hate it when people bargain with me, wouldn't it be better to give a direct answer? I held back my anger and said, "You might as well just say what you want me to do, if you can help me, I will help." But my second brother has been missing for so long, and the hope will be slimmer after a day, and even if it can be found if it drags on, it will only be a corpse. ”

Gu Zuoyan probably didn't expect me to be so direct, the whole person was slightly stunned, and it took a few seconds to come back to his senses: "Well, I don't really want to make things difficult for you, I also have my difficulties." Now there is something that asks for your help. ”

I said, "Is it still about medicines?" Now even the ambulance corps has been disbanded. ”

Gu Zuoyan probably didn't like me interrupting him, he stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture: "Listen to me finish my words first, you can judge for yourself whether you want to help with this, we won't force you." Now we want you to do something much simpler than transporting medicines, and naturally there is not much danger. Next Monday, our comrades will enter the French Concession with a special pass, and he will bring with him the latest news from the underground party members who are now active in the Chinese community and the Japanese authorities in the Chinese community. The identity of this comrade of ours is very important, and the information brought is even more important, and we don't want anything wrong with this matter. ”

I don't think I have any way out now, since Gu Zuoyan said that there is no danger, I will believe him: "If you need me to pick up someone, or to say something to him, such as 'Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain', you might as well tell me as soon as possible, and I should prepare early." ”

Gu Zuoyan smiled slightly: "I didn't expect you to be joking at this time, a really good agent doesn't need a code, and he doesn't even need to see your photo to tell which person is you from the crowd." You just have to remember that on Mondays, you come to this restaurant at eleven o'clock, choose a window seat, order a cup of coffee and a cup of tea, and our comrades will come and say to you, "'long time no see,'" and then you can give him a hug back. Oh, by the way, his public name is Wang Tao. ”
