It's dark.

The women of the Qingyuan Pavilion were all standing on the corridor, they were silent, waiting for someone to come out. Outside stood rows and rows of Japanese soldiers, blocking the place. Since its opening, Qingyuan Restaurant has been operating rain or shine for more than ten years, and this is the first time it has been closed.

It was also the first time I had seen the group of soldiers walk in here.

The women of the Qingyuan Pavilion were waiting, and so was the Japanese officer standing downstairs. Wait for an answer, wait for a rout, wait for someone to admit defeat and surrender.

In the main room on the second floor, facing the door, Ziyue stood uneasily with her fingers twisted. There were a lot of documents scattered on the table in the room, You Yiman was smoking a cigarette, and looked at Liang Qingwen sorting these things together. She squinted at the door, turned her head and asked, "How is it, Qingwen, are these documents enough?" ”

Liang Qingwen put the last bit into the suitcase, pressed it and fastened the buckle, and nodded heavily to her. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but he clenched his hands tightly, and finally he couldn't say anything. You Yiman got up and approached him, smiled, and reached out to touch his face: "Don't you be sad, they are here to 'invite' me, not to arrest me." ”

"I ......" Liang Qingwen hugged her into his arms in pain, and almost begged in her ear, "Yiman, let me accompany you here, okay?" ”

"Qingwen, you must know that in this life, no one is as good to me as you." You Yiman leaned on the man's shoulder, her eyes were red, but she still smiled, smug and comfortable, "I'm your wife, Mrs. Liang." But I'm also the head of the Red and Green Gang. You have to go to Shen Yigong, this bureau, we are trapped in him yet, you have to go to him. ”

After saying this, she wiped her eyes and pushed the man away. The cigarette in her hand fell to the ground in a trembling way, and the reddish-brown carpet was blackened. You Yiman held Liang Qingwen's face, kissed the corner of his mouth, and wiped off the lipstick marks left on her with his fingertips. She still couldn't hold back her tears after all, but when things got to this point, it was useless to cry.

She said, "Let's go." Then he turned around and walked to the door. Liang Qingwen watched her wipe the tears off her face, and Ziyue pulled her to another secret passage. He watched her reach out and push the door open, as if she had done a thousand times in the past, she stepped out of the door, and said in a clear voice: "I, You Yiman, am here, who will come to find your aunt and grandmother." ”

The women then looked over and cheered, and their proprietress went downstairs in a black dark gold cheongsam with her hands on the handle, leaning slightly to greet the Japanese officer who had been waiting on the patio for a long time. When she came, the girls were not afraid. No matter what kind of disasters and tortures lie ahead, as long as she is there, Qingyuan Xiaoguan will not be able to die.

You Yiman glanced back at the sisters upstairs, gave them a flying kiss, then turned around and said lightly to the Japanese soldier: "Let's go." ”

The cheering girls in the small restaurant quieted down one after another, and they watched You Yiman's acacia-like warm back being drowned out by the turquoise military uniform little by little, and finally fell silent, and I don't know who started to cry, and the whole small building gradually became filled with whimpering.

When Liang Qingwen went outside, he saw a go-kart whizzing away, and for a moment he felt as if he smelled the scent of roses on Yiman's body. But he knew it was fake. The air was filled with nothing but the smell of diesel fuel and cold smoke.

Ziyue pushed Liang Qingwen out of the secret door and retreated, without saying a word. In the suitcase that Liang Qingwen was carrying was all the original industrial laws of the Red and Green Gang and the Blue Dragon Society over the years, and they stayed up all night to quickly convert a large part of their property into US dollars, even if the Japanese army forcibly seized their property next, what they got was just an empty shell.

The wind had been blowing all day, and after dark the rain fell again.

Mu Qiuping had been sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for Ma Weisan to come back. She heard the sound of a car engine outside the house, and hurriedly got up and ran to the door. Ma Weisan walked in with a tired face, he took off his hat, and looked up at his young wife.

Just this glance tells everything that happened today.

Mu Qiuping's footsteps towards him also stopped there, and she said in a deep voice: "...... You promised. ”

Ma Weisan said goodbye.

"You promised." She stepped back, her previous worries in vain, and ran upstairs, locking herself in her room. Ma Weisan slammed the door outside the door and roared, "Then what do you want? Be a widow? You don't know how vicious those people are, do you want to see me die there! ”

Mu Qiuping ignored his shouting outside, and called Huo Mansion and Qingyuan Mansion while crying. No one answered, no one answered......

"Mu Qiuping! Are you stupid in acting in those national salvation movies! In reality, people want to live, not to say that they will die and that they will not die. Do you think I want to do that? If I don't do this, the Japanese killers have already killed you and Xiaoxiao by now! ”

Mu Qiuping pressed the phone and redialed.

Still no answers.

Ma Weisan didn't respond at all, and finally slammed the door hard. He said, "You don't understand anything as a woman. "And left.

Mu Qiuping sat on the ground dejectedly, she listened to the operator over there tell her over and over again, sorry, no one answered for the time being, and tears fell uncontrollably. Her hands hung limply, and the microphone fell on the carpet.

In the long night, Shen Yigong hugged the girl who was crying and sleeping tired, and took Xinyi to the front of the house. The light at the door was on, illuminating the bluestone pavement in front of the door. He was about to step forward when he saw someone step out of the darkness and into the lamp. Xinyi rushed over and hugged him: "Uncle Qingwen——! ”

Liang Qingwen touched the girl's head and looked at Shen Yigong, the man held the sleeping child in his arms, and shook his head sadly. He said, "Let's go into the house, Mother Zhao made dinner." ”

Shen Yigong pushed open the door and walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Song Qi sitting in front of the porch waiting for them. He saw that the people were back, hesitated for a moment, turned back to the kitchen and shouted to Zhao's mother: "Zhao's mother, there are many people eating at home tonight, you work harder, make a few more dishes." ”

When the first shot is fired, it means that this war has finally come. And in this first battle, they were completely defeated.

When Qin Mingyue received the news that Huo Zuo had been attacked in Hongkou and that the Japanese army had opened fire in the boundary, Chen Ruifeng's secretary called her to inform her to return to the ministry to take over the mission. In recent years, the Military Command Bureau has been more frequent in personnel scheduling, but on the contrary, the group of female officers who followed Chen Ruifeng at the beginning have always been relatively stable. They spread out from Shanghai and spread all over the major prosperous cities, sorting out information and secretly transmitting it. There were two other contemporaries who stayed in the Shanghai intelligence department with Qin Mingyue, who died in 1932 and 1935 respectively, and she was the only one in the same batch of female spies who was still alive and active in the Shanghai social scene.

She got a new code name, "Poison Bee".

Qin Mingyue arrived at Chen Ruifeng's office at 7:20. In addition to Chen, there was also a man she didn't know in the house. Chen Ruifeng motioned for her to enter the house and introduced to her: "This is Mr. Zhu Jingmu, an agent sent by the Japanese Special High School to cooperate in the arrest of fugitive terrorists, and his Chinese name is Jin Mu. You'll need to work together for some time to come. ”

Qin Mingyue didn't agree first as usual, she hesitated for a moment and looked into the chief's eyes: "Are you sure?" ”

Chen Ruifeng waved his hand and motioned for the Japanese agent to leave first, and he wanted to talk to Qin Mingyue alone. As soon as the door was closed, Qin Mingyue directly stated: "I will not work with the enemy of Japan's special high school, Mr. Jiang Baili made it clear in the just-published "On National Defense" that we must treat Japan as an imaginary enemy in our next military training. You ...... now What do you want to do? ”

Chen Ruifeng just calmly stated one sentence: "Huo Zuo is still alive, he escaped from the heavy encirclement of the Japanese." ”

Qin Mingyue don't overdo it.

"You want to kill him, and now your chance has come. As for 'cooperation', Xiao Qin, some things are deals, we will help him catch Huo Zuo, and they will also agree to share the information they have obtained with us. It's the business of the intelligence community, you don't understand, do you? ”

"But ......"

"With him, find Huo Zuo and kill him on the spot. Then you are still the enemy, and you can still draw your gun when you see him. He's Japanese, he's a Japanese spy, and his identity isn't going to change there, and I didn't say you shouldn't treat him as an enemy. Chen Ruifeng sat behind his desk, his elbows propped up on the table, and his body leaned forward slightly, "It's just that we now have people who need to be eliminated more, and it is easier and more convenient to use him to go out than for us to go out directly." ”

Qin Mingyue took a deep breath and met his rather powerful eyes: "Sir, Chairman Jiang has been in Yan'an recently. We can't get so close to the Japanese – maybe ......"

Chen Ruifeng raised his hand to interrupt her: "The task is the task, Xiao Qin." I don't need you to tell me what to do. Your mission is simple, find Huo Zuo, kill him, and let everyone know that it was the Japanese, not us. ”

Seeing that Qin Mingyue still didn't answer, Chen Ruifeng raised his voice and asked her again: "Do you understand?" ”

"Understood." Qin Mingyue stood up straight and gave him a military salute, "I promise to complete the task." ”

She left Chen Ruifeng's office and saw the Japanese spy of the special high school in the corridor. The other party was dressed in a decent manner, with a dark coffee suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and when he opened his mouth, he still had an authentic Shanghai accent. The other party stretched out his hand towards Qin Mingyue and said gently: "I have heard of Miss Qin's name for a long time, and it is my luck to be able to cooperate with you." ”

Qin Mingyue hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out her hand: "Are the spies arranged by your Japanese special high school in Shanghai as like you like a 'Shanghainese'?" ”

"I'm not like Shanghainese enough, our team leader is the Japanese who are most like Shanghainese."

"Can you take the liberty of asking, who is your team leader?"

The other party was subtle, they let go of their hands, and the man thought about it, but still said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you." He also knows you, and tomorrow the newspapers in the public concession controlled by the Japanese side will reveal his identity. His Chinese name is Cheng, and his name is Cheng Changyu. Of course, he also has a Japanese name called Kawashima Hiroshi. ”
