Bai Baoyuan muttered in his heart, and raised the wine cup in response: "Manager Li, what you said is too much to praise me, on the ground of our Wencheng, there are many characters in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I am a restaurant opener, but I rely on everyone to eat, how dare I be a backer for others!" However, thanks to Manager Li, if there is anything that can help you in the future, I will do my best. ”

Li Yan smiled silently, raised his neck and drank the wine first, and then showed the bottom of the wine cup to the other party. From Bai Baoyuan's words, he felt some sincerity, but today he came in danger, and he must get a promise from the mouth of the shopkeeper of this restaurant. It's just that you need to master the heat of the showdown.

At this moment, several diners at a table not far away talked about the corpses of anti-Japanese elements on display in the square of the railway station; Li Yan's ears were sharp, and he had already caught a few words, and immediately turned his words, and said to Bai Baoyuan in the direction of the table:

"White shopkeeper, the Japanese hung seven corpses on the side of the train station, and posted a notice saying that they had caught the murderer of the city hall and were executed by them; However, I heard today that a notice was also posted on the wall of the Catholic Church, stating that the Japanese had not caught the murderer at all, and that the seven people were all ordinary citizens of Wencheng, who had been impersonated by the Japanese and killed innocent people. ”

Bai Baoyuan was taken aback: In the past two days, many people who have come to eat in the restaurant have been talking about the corpses of the people at the train station, but what Manager Li just said was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocking him to the ground.

There were only four notices posted overnight by the intelligence group of the Shanxi Station of the Military Command, which were handwritten by the elder of the radio station Liu, and the chance of being seen and disseminated was naturally very small, so when they were discussing at the No. 1 Courtyard of Yangliu Lane, they decided to go to the Baoyuan Restaurant during the day today to further disseminate the notices. At this moment, Li Yan grasped the words and immediately began to indoctrinate Bai Baoyuan, he knew very well that as long as Bai Baoyuan knew about it, the next half of Wencheng would almost be able to know.

"Manager Li, this is not a trivial matter! Who are you listening to? The shopkeeper unconsciously lowered his voice, and at the same time, a pair of eyes looked left and right, and his expression became a little nervous.

Li Yan followed Bai Baoyuan's gaze to the surroundings and patrolled a few times, he saw that Zhao Mutou, the commander of the spy company, was eating food with one of his subordinates, and they also had a few dishes on the table, but there was no wine, but a large bowl of red oil donkey meat knife shaved noodles in front of each person.

"A business friend of mine, who believes in Christ Jesus, found it in the morning when he went to church. Can't be wrong! ”

"And who is the person who posted the notice? How did they know that the Japanese had not caught the real culprit? Bai Baoyuan asked suspiciously.

"Judging by the tone, the identity of the person who posted the notice should be from Chairman Chiang's Nationalist Government, and the notice also said that the War of Resistance will be won."

Li Yan also pretended to suppress his voice mysteriously. He noticed that there was a hint of excitement on the shopkeeper's face, but it was fleeting.

Bai Baoyuan's heart has actually turned over the river, Li Yan's words conveyed two meanings, first, the Japanese were vicious and killed ordinary people as scapegoats; Second, the anti-Japanese elements who attacked the city hall were really successful, and not only were they not caught in the city's large-scale raid, but they were able to put up notices in the city in a good time. Suddenly, he realized something again, and his eyes changed sharply as he looked at Li Yan.

At this moment, the male lieutenant of the military commander was holding a wine jug to pour wine for Bai Baoyuan, intending to let the other party chew and play with the content that had just been instilled in him, so he did not notice this change in the other party's eyes.

But Bai Baoyuan's emotions were really nervous, and he had just made a judgment: the words just said by the "Manager Li" in front of him were unlikely to come from the mouth of some "business friend", and it was not good, it was his own meaning! If such a notice had been posted on the door of the Catholic church, perhaps it was their gang that had done it! Thinking of this, he took the wine jug from Li Yan's hand and began to pour wine for the other party in return, and asked without raising his head while pouring it:

"Manager Li, do you think the words on this notice are credible? If so, how much can you believe it? ”

Li Yan, who was just about to open his mouth to answer, also slammed his head, stared at the other party's lowered head, and hesitated for a moment, until the white shopkeeper who had finished pouring the wine raised his head, and the two looked at each other, and each read a lot of content from each other's eyes.

"Hehe, Brother Bai, if you want me to say, there is a good chance that what is written on this notice is true. Think about it, how can a person who has the ability to make trouble in the city hall under the noses of the Japanese be caught so easily? It's seven in one catch! I'm afraid that there were not seven people who shot at the city hall that day! Li Yan's posture when he said this was quite calm, and there was also an obvious disdain for the Japanese.

This undoubtedly made Bai Baoyuan, who was sitting opposite, more and more accurate. He thought: The other party is not good today, and he deliberately took the initiative to invite him to sit down and eat, and spoke so unabashedly at the wine table. It seems that this Manager Li has already guessed his Bai Baoyuan's mind to see his true identity. What to do, this is obviously a showdown, how should I express myself? Of course, the people of the Nationalist Government who Chairman Chiang should not and cannot be offended, but at present, Wencheng and even the whole of Shanxi are under the control of the Japanese; colluding with anti-Japanese elements behind the back of the Japanese, once they are caught, they are afraid that their heads will fall to the ground in an instant: Isn't there seven corpses hanging on the side of the train station? If what this Manager Li said is true, then the Japanese even killed the "fake anti-Japanese elements", and wouldn't they be even more ruthless when dealing with the real ones!

After thinking about it like this, Bai Baoyuan naturally quickly attracted Li Yan's attention. He could expect the complicated mentality of the restaurant shopkeeper at the moment, this sophisticated veteran who knows both black and white, faced with such a choice of right and wrong, will not easily make up his mind. But today, I went to the meeting alone (of course, there was a double cover in secret), and the main intention was not necessarily to pull Bai Baoyuan into his camp clearly, as long as they could tacitly tacit and not offend each other for the time being, the goal would be achieved.

Obviously realizing that he was a little out of shape, Bai Baoyuan hurriedly began to cover up, he picked up the wine cup with both hands, and made an arched gesture towards Li Yan: "Manager Li is really high!" In the end, it is the people who came from Taiyuan, and their knowledge is much stronger than our soil buns! If you want me to say, it is really unlikely that the Japanese will catch so many anti-Japanese elements at once. ”

Li Yan refused to let go of this opportunity, so he continued: "If you can't catch the real anti-Japanese elements, and in turn kill innocent people, do you say that this little Japanese has no conscience at all?" ”

"Hehe, if they were conscientious, they wouldn't have floated across the ocean to the ground of our Chinese and shouted three or four! I heard that Japan is a poor island where rabbits don't poop, and it is surrounded by the sea. ”

At this point, the lieutenant felt that it was time to stop: the shopkeeper of the restaurant, at least in terms of personal feelings, also revealed a rejection of Japanese rule. In the future, Baoyuan Restaurant, a landmark that plays a pivotal role in Wencheng, will not be occupied by the military commanders in the future.

Picking up the wine cup and taking a sip of wine, Li Yan found an opportunity to look at Zhao Mutou across the table, and his right hand exaggeratedly reached into the back collar of his padded jacket, pretending to scratch the itch. This is a signal agreed upon before coming to the restaurant, which means that Li Yan has finished testing the white shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the other party has no malice and threats; asked Zhao Mutou and them to leave immediately and report to the female major of the military commander who was waiting in the car nearby.

Sure enough, Zhao Mutou and the others quickly picked up the big bowl, snorted and finished eating the knife-cut noodles in front of them, then wiped their mouths, shouted that the guy who ran the hall had settled the account, and then walked out with a swagger. Li Yan observed Bai Baoyuan attentively, and found that he only glanced at the departure of Zhao Mutou and the others, and had no possibility of seeing through his hiding. After all, this guy is just a shrewd person, but he is far from shrewd enough to penetrate the disguise layout of a professional military commander.

Wang Suihua, who got the news for the first time, suddenly felt that a stone fell to the ground in her heart. She sat in the driver's seat of the Chevrolet sedan that had been parked on the side of the street, and ordered Zhao Mutou to get in the car from the open window, but sent another soldier of the special service company in the passenger seat to get out of the car, and together with the soldiers of the special service company who had dinner with Zhao Mutou, to observe the place where the notices were posted last night, to see if those notices attracted onlookers and whether they were discovered by the Japanese puppet military police. Then, she started the car and drove in the direction of Luoguxiang.

- Since the shopkeeper of Baoyuan Restaurant has been temporarily dealt with, next, the female major of the military commander will aim her blade and gun at the traitor Meng Longsheng. Li Yan had previously discovered that Meng Longsheng and his men had appeared in the No. 7 courtyard of Luoguxiang, but he failed to find out the true purpose of the mansion because he improvised to assassinate one of Meng Longsheng's subordinates. Today, she wants to go over and see for herself.

"Mu, in the restaurant just now, what do you think of Li Yan's speech, is there anything too hot or wrong?" Wang Suihua was never worried about Li Yan's ability to control this complex negotiation situation, so she immediately inquired with the commander of the spy company.

Zhao Mutou scratched the back of his head, feeling a little difficult to answer, after all, the conversation between Li Yan and Bai Baoyuan was not high, and sometimes they deliberately whispered, plus the first floor was almost full at noon, and the crowd was boiling, which made Zhao Mutou and the two people who were separated by a table basically not hear anything useful.

"Major Wang, Brother Li looked very easy-going just now, and the white shopkeeper kept smiling, I think they talked very well."

This answer made the female major of the military commander can't help but be angry and funny: The captain of the Central Army next to him is really worthy of his name, a whole piece of wood!

"I hope this guy really lowered the white shopkeeper! Before we turned off the lights and went to bed last night, Li Yan swore to me that he was absolutely sure of it today. Wang Suihua said this sentence casually, and suddenly found that the corners of Zhao Mutou's mouth showed a mysterious smile through the afterglow, and the female major of the military commander was startled, and immediately realized that what she just said "turn off the lights and sleep" may have caused the ambiguity of the spy company commander.

She was about to explain, but she didn't know how. Unexpectedly, the wooden-like spy company commander unexpectedly came up with an earth-shattering sentence:

"I also think Brother Li is right, Major Wang, you two talented women are actually quite compatible."
