In the dormitory of the public security compound, Tao Ran was lying on the bed, he pondered the scene of meeting Hu Mingkang in the morning, and recalled every word of Hu Mingkang: Aren't you the same? The dignified Instructor Song of the Special Training Class of the Central Bureau of Statistics has changed into Director Tao of the Binhai Public Security Bureau all of a sudden? …… It's not like you, General Chang Sheng...... Thinking of this, I didn't feel a cold sweat, and I only blamed myself for not giving him any explanation at the beginning. "Let me tell you the truth, after the occupation of Nanjing, I didn't have time to evacuate, I became a prisoner, the Communist Party has a policy for prisoners, go and stay free, you also know this, whether it is for the Kuomintang or for the Communist Party, it is not all the same, they are all breadwinners, think about it, it is better to go home, do some small business, but be free, the reputation in the past is not very good, my mother's surname is Zhu, so I followed her surname." Is all this true? If not, then, what is his mission on the Marina? Who do you contact? What's even more terrifying is whether he has been used by the Communist Party? Anyway, my heart is like a bucket, seven up and eight down, without a bottom.

Tao Ran finally decided to explore the truth about Hu Mingkang, if he is still the old business, it may not be a bad thing, if he has really washed his hands, or has been used by the Communist Party, then their encounter will be a lot of trouble.

There was a "tuk tuk" ringing outside the door, Hu Mingkang got up and opened the door, and saw that it was Wang Jin, "Oh, it's Section Chief Wang, please come in." ”

Wang Jin entered the door and sat down on a chair against the wall, and said to Hu Mingkang straight to the point: "Tao Ran has been here?" ”

Hu Mingkang sat down next to Wang Jin and said, "Yes, maybe I went out to buy cigarettes that night, and he met me by chance." ”

Wang Jin said solemnly: "I have heard your conversation clearly, your answer is very good, and it hits his vital point, to tell you the truth, we have mastered his situation, and he is the enemy lurking within us." ”

Hu Mingkang continued: "He is Song Jian, the instructor of the former Central Union. ”

Wang Jin said: "Oh, then he won't stop there, he will definitely come to you again." ”

Hu Mingkang asked, "Then what do I do?" ”

Wang Jin said: "If you change places at this time, it will attract his attention, so it is better to simply make a plan." ”

……

Tao Ran carried two bottles of wine, came to No. 18 Tongkangli, knocked on the door twice, and only heard "Who?" inside. It was the voice of the landlady, and after a while, the door opened, "Oh, it's Director Tao, are you here to find Mr. Zhu?" ”

Tao Ran said: "Yes, is he there? ”

The landlady said repeatedly: "Yes, here, he just came back, please come in." Then he shouted, "Mr. Zhu, someone is looking for you!" ”

Hu Mingkang came out to open the door, and when he saw Tao Ran, "Oh, your brother is here, come on!" Fast forward! ”

Tao Ran said: "I must believe what I said, I want to have a few drinks with my brother, talk about the old, talk about the old." ”

Hu Mingkang said with a smile: "I have ready-made appetizers here, stinky tofu, dragon head roast, and mackerel roasted tofu, all of which are good dishes to accompany wine." ”

So, Hu Mingkang took out two wine glasses and shouted: "Meihua, go buy some salted pork head meat again, I want to get drunk with my brother before resting." ”

Yan Meihua said: "Then you eat first, and I'll go." ”

Tao Ran said politely: "Hey, no, no, it's not an outsider, the dishes are already rich enough, mainly drinking, drinking-oriented." ”

Hu Mingkang put the dishes on the table, Tao Ran opened the wine bottle, poured it for Hu Mingkang first, then poured it for himself, picked up the wine glass and said to Hu Mingkang: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, come, little brother will toast you first." The two picked up the wine glass, drank it dry, Tao Ran picked up the wine bottle again, poured two glasses, and then said: "That day, because I had something to do, I didn't have time to talk to my brother more, today, the opportunity comes, the opportunity comes!" ”

Hu Mingkang said: "Yes, you are in an important position, and you must be involuntarily, unlike us businessmen, who come and go freely." ”

Tao Ran said: "Where and where, if you are not in your position, you will not seek politics, if you are in office, you must at least put on a show, the public security department is usually very idle, and as soon as there is a task, it will not be divided into day and night." Haha"

Hu Mingkang: "Oh, oh," said twice.

Yan Meihua came in with a bag of salted pork head meat, just now she went out, went around, and stuffed a strip with the words "as expected" into a window crack; She went to the kitchen and got a plate, put the salted pig's head meat on the plate, and Hu Mingkang said, "Well, it's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, taste it." "Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth.

Tao Ran also picked up a piece, "Well, it tastes good." Then he said to Yan Meihua: "Come, sister-in-law, sit down and eat." ”

Yan Meihua said with a smile: "I still have something to do, don't worry, you eat slowly." ”

Tao Ran and Hu Mingkang, you have a cup, I have a cup, it has reached seven points of wine, Tao Ran asked Hu Mingkang: "Brother, Yi, according to my bluntness, you won't still be doing business now, right?" ”

Hu Mingkang said: "Where, my brother and I have made it clear that Nanjing fell, I became a prisoner, and the Communist Party saw that I was anti-Japanese at that time. Besides, I used to only accept Boss Gu, and people had already slipped away, and they still cared about our life and death? Then he asked rhetorically: "Is that brother a flat pole and two ends?" ”

Tao Ran said: "Actually, at that time, in the battle of crossing the river, I was also a prisoner, and I was incognito to eat mixed rice, and I ate mixed rice." Then he got up and approached Hu Mingkang's side, and said mysteriously: "I heard that someone was sent from the other side, and he is going to make a big deal in Binhai recently, could it be your brother?" ”

Hu Mingkang pretended to be surprised and asked: "If what my brother said is true, this kind of information is very confidential, and my brother is so well-informed, is he still continuing his old business?" After all, you used to be the coach of the special training class for military commands, will the Communist Party open up to you? ”

Tao Ran felt that his words had slipped out, and then said: "That's where the profession is, where the profession is." ”

Hu Mingkang continued: "It's the same, the public security organs, but brothers can talk about everything, once the intelligence is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Tao Ran returned to the station drunk, he opened the door, pulled the light, closed the door, picked up the cup and drank water, and when he saw that the cup was empty, he picked up the hot water bottle again, poured it full of water, took a sip, and fell asleep on the bed unconsciously: Tao Ran saw Hu Mingkang enter Xiao Yong's office, Tao Ran, with his ear on the door, only heard it inside: "Director Xiao, Tao Ran is a latent spy." I saw Xiao Yong pick up the pistol and rush to Tao Ran's door to fire several shots, one of which hit him in the chest...... the sun was already high with a bamboo pole, and it turned out to be a nightmare.

Tao Ran sat on the bed panting, sweating profusely, and he felt that no matter what Hu Mingkang's current status was, it was a threat to Tao Ran.

Tao Ran carried a briefcase, bought two flatbreads at the flatbread stall on the side of the road, ate them while walking, and hurried to Binhai People's Park, beside a chair by the lake, he looked around and stuffed a note under the chair.

Xiao Yong was leaning on the bed, getting dressed, and the phone on the bedside table rang. Xiao Yong picked up the phone, "Hey, oh, I know." ”

Early in the morning, in an ordinary old chamber, Xiao Yong and Wang Jin were talking, Xiao Yong said worriedly: "It seems that he came prepared, and he will not believe Hu Mingkang's words at once, Hu Mingkang is also in danger of being exposed, therefore, we must reconsider their safety issues, you can rest assured, I will arrange it immediately." In addition, we don't have all the information about them yet, and we have to put a long line to catch big fish. ”

……

The weather in August was so hot that people couldn't breathe, and after a while, dark clouds were thick, thunder and lightning thundered, and suddenly, heavy rain poured down, and after the lightning flashed, a long ghost shadow fluttered and fell on the mass grave.

The ghost stretched out his bony arms, his hands were almost bloodless, skinny, bone-bone, dark and curved nails, I saw him clapping his hands together three times, and then raised his head and roared twice at the night sky, as if a ghost screamed, the sound floated far and far along the mountains, echoes echoed in the valley, the surrounding trees, wild grass rattled, gusts of wind blew, rolled up the fallen leaves and sand and gravels filled the mass graves.

After this terrible roar, from behind a low granite tomb, a black shadow slowly stood up, and in the darkness the black shadow flickered and flickered like a rootless foot, and stood behind the ghost.

The ghost said, "What is the purpose of calling me?" ”

The black shadow said: "In the east wing of No. 18 Tongkangli, there is a pair of businessmen, this person may want to misunderstand the party-state affairs, in my opinion, it is better to let him disappear as soon as possible, the sooner the better, it is better to tonight, so as not to dream too ......much at night."

The sky was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, and occasionally there were flashes of lightning and rain, and it was falling at regular intervals...... A masked black shadow jumped into the courtyard of No. 18 Tongkangli, he bent his waist, groped his way to the east wing, took out a sharp knife from his arms, slowly opened the window with a knife, jumped in, and slowly touched into the room, he saw a person lying faintly on the bed, so he used full strength to stab the lying person with a knife, who knows, it was a pillow, at this time, suddenly a black shadow jumped out of the darkness, and before the masked man reacted, the masked man was already firmly held, so, the two hugged together, you punched, I punched and fought; , the masked man used all his strength to feed, turned up the black shadow, and threw him down on the bed, only to hear, click, the bed board break; The black shadow immediately rolled back, flew up, kicked the masked man's waist, took two steps back, and the knife fell to the ground, and then grabbed a small bench, and quickly smashed it towards the black shadow, and the black shadow flashed and smashed into the air; The shadow came and swept his legs, and the masked man fell, his head hitting the table; There was a fierce pain, and he felt that he was not the opponent of the black shadow, and the thirty-six plan was still the upper plan, jumping out of the window and climbing out of the courtyard wall......

It was still raining in the sky, and there were occasional flashes of lightning.

"Jingle bell", Tao Ran was awakened by the ringing of the phone at the bedside, he pulled the bedside lamp casually, picked up the phone, "Hey," the expression on his face was stunned for a moment, and said reproachfully: "Why are you calling here?" ”

In a phone booth, a masked man looked around and was saying, "I had no choice but to call in the phone booth, we were tricked, Lao Tzu almost died, and he hit a big bag on his head......"

Hearing this, Tao Ran slowly put down the microphone and thought: Do dried seafood business? As expected. It seems that Hu Mingkang has been used by the Communist Party, who will that black shadow be? There are still a series of question marks in my head......
