Chapter Eighty-Seven: Who is the Shadow?

Yan Fangzhou lay in the room for a whole day, and only got up in the evening.

After Yan Fangzhou carefully cleaned up, he dressed up and went out of the door and went straight to the hospital. He has an important mission to complete tonight, this may be his last in Harbin and it is too late, after tonight, it is very likely that his fate will change in a turning point, in short, everything in the future will depend on tonight's actions.

Also with Yan Fangzhou are the old Shen Tou of the morgue and Zeng Jiaxiang, the leader of the cleaning team. There are two other people, Liang Baihuan and An Yiran.

When Yan Fangzhou came to the hospital, it was already late, and there was not a trace of clouds in the dark night sky.

At the same time that Yan Fangzhou came to the hospital to prepare to carry out his actions, Liang Baihuan also quietly went out from his home. Liang Baihuan, who has been a spy of the military command all his life, has never been so nervous as he is today. A trace of luck in his heart drove him to follow An Yiran's words and came to the old place and old steamed bun restaurant that only he and An Yiran knew.

The old steamed bun, who closed his doors early and closed his business, has been sitting in the restaurant with his ears pricked up, quietly listening to the sounds outside. In his longing eyes, a hint of surprise finally appeared, and the footsteps from far and near made the old steamed bun nervous. He got up and lay down on the door, looked out through the crack in the door, and sure enough, he saw a man wrapped in an overcoat, with his collar up, and his scarf covering half of his face, showing only two eyes to the door.

The person knocked lightly on the door, one long and two short, and then there was a low cat meow, the old steamed bun responded with a cat meow, and then gently opened the door, and the person flashed into the door, and the old steamed bun closed the door and turned to look at the visitor.

The person who came slowly took off the scarf on his face, and the old steamed bun grinned and showed a mouthful of smoky big black teeth and said, "Sure enough, it's you."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take me to get the radio to send a report" The person who came was Liang Baihuan.

The old steamed bun smiled and nodded: "It's been a long time since I waited for this time, and I've finally waited for this day!" ”

The old steamed bun was in front, Liang Baihuan came to the back room in the back, the old steamed bun moved the broken wooden bed in the back room, and after pressing a mechanism, a small door flashed on the wall, and the old steamed bun pointed to the door and said to Liang Baihuan: "Please?" ”

Liang Baihuan looked at him, pointed to the small door and whispered: "You walk in front" The old steamed bun nodded and got into the small door, and Liang Baihuan walked in after him. Inside the small door is a small room, there is a dim kerosene lamp on the wooden table, the old steamed bun bends down and picks up a box from the ground and puts it on the table, opens it and looks at Liang Baihuan and says, "The old man is here."

Liang Baihuan looked at the contents of the box and asked, "Can it be used?" ”

"Of course, okay" The old steamed bun said and took out the radio in the box and said to Liang Baihuan: "You send it here, I'll go out and keep an eye on you" Liang Baihuan looked at him and nodded: "Keep an eye on it, tell me immediately if there is any trouble"

"Don't worry, Lao An used to send reports here, and it was very safe," the old steamed bun said, hunched over and walked out of the small door, restoring the room to its original state.

Lao Mantou sat alone in the restaurant, looking at the dark night outside, listening to the whistling wind, but thinking about his future in his heart. Later, after Liang Baihuan finished sending the report, he could leave here, this is his wish for many years, leaving represents rebirth, otherwise, he will have to spend the rest of his life in this broken shop, and he will never see his wife and son again. I finally lived up to my mission, protected the radio station intact, and covered so many colleagues, which is also the last errand I did for the party-state, and it is time to retire and return to Nanjing for the elderly.

Time passed minute by minute, and the old steamed bun who fell into a reverie was smoking pot after pot with a dry tobacco pouch in his hand, until there was a sound of knocking on the wall inside, and the old steamed bun got up and returned to the inner room again, opened the small door, and let Liang Baihuan come out of it. Liang Baihuan carried the box in his hand, looked at the old steamed bun and said: "It's finished, everything is going well, Shangfeng has called back, according to the time and space cast, let us do a good job, after getting the airdrop materials, immediately get in touch with Lao Leng, transfer the materials, and then we will evacuate first"

The old steamed bun nodded excitedly and said, "Great, great, finally waiting for this day"

Liang Baihuan looked at him and smiled: "Old steamed bun, how many years have you been here?" ”

"How many years? I have been ordered to come here since the second year when the little devil entered the Northeast and opened this restaurant, how many years have you counted? I was stunned to become such an old man who is not a ghost or a ghost," tears appeared in the old man's eyes when he spoke. Liang Baihuan sighed and said: "Boss Dai is still very powerful, strategizing, playing chess seven or eight years in advance, old steamed buns, by the way, you should be called old, you have worked hard, and you have been wronged."

The old steamed bun shook his head and said: "Fortunately, Team Leader An is still satisfied with me, and what I did for him is also to reassure him, alas, in this environment, we are a symbiotic relationship, grasshoppers on a rope, no one wants to run, jump, advancing and retreating together is our only way out"

"Old steamed buns, bring a pot of wine, let's wait for them while drinking" Liang Baihuan looked at the watch in his hand and said: "Soon, in another hour and a half, they will all arrive, and when everyone arrives, you will burn down here, let's go to the birch ditch outside the city, wait for the airdrop there, we will complete the mission"

"Okay, then you wait, I'll go and heat up the wine, and some dishes, I'll serve them together, let's drink some and eat some" The old steamed bun said and got up and walked inside.

When the old steamed bun turned around, Liang Baihuan got up quickly, with a sharp dagger in his hand, and Liang Baihuan very accurately inserted the dagger in his hand into the back of the old steamed bun.

The severe pain made the old steamed bun stop, turned to look at Liang Baihuan and pointed at him and asked, "You, why are you suffering?" Why kill me? Can't you give me a way to live? For the sake of me doing a lifetime of hard work for the party-state, I really can't imagine it, or I was calculated by you."

Liang Baihuan took the dagger and looked at the old steamed bun that was bleeding from his mouth and whispered: "Old steamed bun, I'm sorry, I can't help it, this is Shangfeng's order, I can only carry it out, if you want to blame it, you can go to the Yin Cao Mansion to find our boss Dai, let him give you an explanation, I think he will satisfy you"

The old mantou's face was twisted, the blood in his mouth continued to gush out, he looked at Liang Baihuan and nodded: "If you are lucky enough to go back, go to see the orphan and widow for me, there are some savings I have accumulated over the years in the cabinet over there, you can bring them to them, they live in Nanjing Chicken and Goose ......." Looking at the old steamed bun that was slowly breathing, Liang Baihuan reached out to support him and put him on the wooden chair and said, "If I can go back, I will help you fulfill this wish."

Liang Baihuan sat down by himself and gasped for a while, and after slowly calming down, he got up again and came to the cabinet to find the savings that the old steamed bun said. Then picked up the kerosene lamp on the table and sprinkled the kerosene inside on the old steamed bun, and then walked into the back room and knocked over the kerosene lamp on the table, as the flames flickered, Liang Baihuan looked at the dead old steamed bun and said: "Old steamed bun, you go with peace of mind, let this old man go to hell with you, save you from having nothing to do over there, and Boss Dai has to arrange other tasks for you!" By the way, you remember to ask Boss Dai for an explanation, and it can be regarded as you have been lurking for half your life in vain! ”

Liang Baihuan walked out of the old steamed bun restaurant with the box containing the radio station and the savings left by the old steamed bun, looking at the old steamed bun restaurant that was engulfed in the fire, Liang Baihuan left at ease at night.

Liang Baihuan went out of the city overnight and went straight to Birch Ditch, and at one o'clock in the second half of the night, Liang Baihuan arrived at Birch Ditch.

Located in the southwest corner of Birch Gully, the altitude of Wild Duck Mountain is not high, but the trees are deep and dense, and the Wild Duck Cave is at the foot of Wild Duck Mountain. The entrance to the cave is obscured by a tall bush, making it difficult to spot.

Liang Baihuan came to the entrance of the cave with a shallow foot, looked inside, raised his hand and patted it lightly three times, after the slap sounded, the woods trembled, and slowly revealed a head from inside and asked in a low voice: "Is it Lao Liang?" ”

Liang Baihuan replied softly: "It's me"

An Yiran, who came out of the woods, looked at him and smiled: "Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time" said and stretched out his hand to pull Liang Baihuan into the hole.

The two of them bowed and walked in for a while, and then slowly straightened up, An Yiran turned his head to look at Liang Baihuan and asked, "Is it finished?" ”

"Nonsense, if you don't finish it, can I come? Are they all here? Liang Baihuan asked.

An Yiran nodded: "There are three here, and there are still two people missing."

"Who's missing? When is this time, still grinding" Liang Baihuan asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Let's go in first, let's wait here for two days, and the night after tomorrow when the empty position is over, we will immediately contact Lao Leng, and we don't have to nest in this cave" An Yiran said and continued to walk forward.

"Is the shadow coming?" Liang Baihuan asked suddenly.

An Yiran shook his head: "I don't even know who the shadow is, how do I know if he is here or not?" ”

"You don't know who the shadow is? What the do you mean? Is there no shadow among these people who come? Liang Baihuan asked with widening eyes.

"The shadow is not on the line between you and me, I don't know who he is, do you know who the shadow is?" An Yiran looked at Liang Baihuan and asked.

Liang Baihuan shook his head: "If I knew who he was, what else would I ask you for?" ”

"Forget it, let's go in first," An Yiran pulled him and continued to walk deeper into the cave.

When the two came to the innermost part of the cave, Liang Baihuan found that this cave actually had a cave, which was spacious and warm, and there were several tables and beds and some daily necessities near the easternmost side of the cave.

The three people sitting at the table, two young and one old, looked at Liang Baihuan who walked in and stood up together, An Yiran looked at the three people and said to Liang Baihuan: "Old Liang, they are all on my line, that is Lao Shentou, this is Zeng Jiaxiang, this is the youngest young man called Yan Fangzhou"

The three of them bowed to Liang Baihuan and said, "I have heard the name of Team Leader Liang for a long time."

Liang Baihuan waved his hand and said to An Yiran: "I didn't expect you to have so many subordinates, stronger than me, I am the commander of the light pole."

An Yiran smiled and pointed at Lao Shen Tou and said, "He is my old subordinate, and these two joined later, and they are in my ......." ”

"I know, you don't need to say it, you can be said to be alive by you with this mouth, let alone them, I hope they don't waste your hard work! Follow the spicy food you can eat and drink in the future, live a good life, leave this place where rabbits don't early, and get rid of the endless censorship and arrest! Liang Baihuan said, put the box in his hand on the ground and asked, "Who is going to contact Lao Leng?" ”

"The others haven't arrived yet, you'll know when they do! I have arranged ....... ”

"Those of you who are waiting, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach it in this life" Before An Yiran's words were finished, a voice came from outside, which surprised An Yiran.

After Liang Baihuan heard this voice, his mind flickered, he stared at the other side, and saw Xiao Jianbai slowly walking in with a smile on his face.

Xiao Jianbai was followed by Yan Yuqiao and Lian Weitao, as well as dozens of public security soldiers.

Looking at Xiao Jianbai and the others who fell from the sky, An Yiran and Liang Baihuan were just about to move, Xiao Jianbai said: "Two, it's better not to move, whoever moves will be immediately beaten into a hornet's nest, do you believe it or not?" ”

Yan Fangzhou's eyes rolled and ran to An Yiran, pointed at him and scolded: "Comrade Public Security, he is a spy, he arrested me here"

Xiao Jianbai smiled coldly and said, "Everyone, please, there is a car waiting for you outside."

At this moment, Liang Baihuan and An Yiran were completely discouraged, and the two of them knew very well that their lives had entered the countdown stage from this moment.
