At night, the sky is dark and pitch black.

On the remote and dark path leading to Haicang No. 2 Pier, a faint flashlight suddenly lit up along the faint light, and Ding Mingyi, under the leadership of Chen Liren, walked with two feet deep and one foot shallow. It is not difficult to see through the shaking lights that Chen Shiren, who was walking in front, was dressed as a dock porter, tall and agile.

Ding Mingyi followed closely behind with the camera on his back. He asked Chen Liren as he walked: "Why is there no movement in front, is your intelligence accurate?" ”

Chen Liren wiped the sweat on his face and said with confidence: "I promise that I can't make a mistake, they often do this." ”

Ding Mingyi said sternly: If it is true, I will definitely expose their evil deeds to the world.

Chen Liren said: Then you will stab the sky, have you thought of the consequences?

Ding Mingyi replied: Of course I thought about it, but I can't take it that seriously.

"Alright then, it should be right up ahead!" Chen Liren admired his face.

The two of them quickened their pace, and after turning a corner in front, they suddenly noticed some light in front of them.

Chen Liren pointed with his hand, lowered his voice and said, "Look, Reporter Ding, that's it!" ”

"It's so hidden here!" Ding Mingyi hurriedly extinguished the flashlight and looked around.

Chen Liren then explained: "This is a wharf abandoned by the Jiulong River many years ago, which is rarely used in normal times, and few people come here! ”

"You mean, they are smuggling with the Japanese here, and it is difficult for the country to make a fortune?" Ding Mingyi asked softly.

"Well, it's these turtle grandchildren!" Chen Liren said with a round glare.

"Let's go, let's see!" As soon as the two finished speaking, a searchlight turned on, and the searchlight kept shining back and forth between the river and the two banks.

Chen Liren and Ding Mingyi cautiously hid in a half-human-high overweed while quietly approaching the hidden dock. Chen Liren suddenly pressed Ding Mingyi into the grass, and it turned out that a plainclothes patrol came not far away, all of them were holding guns, and they were very vigilant to observe around. The two of them hid in the grass, holding their breath.

The patrol came to a sudden stop in front of them, and the tall man who led the team looked around and said, "No, look at this grass, it looks like someone has come?" ”

Another patrol member answered: You are really interesting, who can come to this hellish place in the middle of the night?

The tall man who led the team said: Don't forget how County Magistrate Dai explained, if you are negligent and let people in, you and my heads will have to be moved!

Another patrol member said, "Then what do you say?"

"What to do, search! Let's search side by side! The tall team member ordered.

The other two team members responded with great reluctance.

Ding Mingyi was frightened when he heard this, Chen Liren glanced at him, took out the box gun again, and put it on fire.

The three patrol members quickly searched over, and Chen Liren quietly opened the box gun and loaded the bullet.

At this time, the sound of "plopping" suddenly sounded not far away.

"There, chase after you!" Three patrolmen quickly chased in the opposite direction.

The two men who had been hiding in the grass finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then they peeled off the thatch and carefully observed everything outside.

"Look, there's a motorboat at the dock ahead." Chen Shiren pointed and said.

Ding Mingyi followed his finger and looked over, a Kuomintang army motorboat marked "Red Cross" was docked on the dock not far away, and under the dim light, more than 20 porters on the motorboat, under the command of an official, carried their hands on their shoulders, and people came and went, very busy. They first carried the contents from the motorboat to the warehouse at the docks, and then loaded the contents into sacks and carried them onto the motorboat on the way back. These porters, all shirtless, with big shoulders and round waists, move quickly and walk like flying.

Chen Liren lowered his voice: Reporter Ding, if you look carefully at those movers, they have big shoulders and round waists, and they are fat, and they look like soldiers. Do you know the one who commanded at the bow of the ship?

Ding Mingyi stared at the dock and suddenly exclaimed: Isn't that the secretary of the county magistrate of Longxi County?

"Well, it's him. The 75th Army of the National Army colluded with the county government, secretly smuggled with the Japanese in Xiamen, and did unspeakable deeds. Chen Liren said indignantly.

"Yes, it is precisely because of these people who eat inside and outside and make the country difficult to make money that our country has been defeated in the face of the Japanese invaders and the people have fallen into dire straits. They are the scum of the nation, and we must expose them. Ding Mingyi said, angrily and quietly took out his camera and pointed it at the smuggling boat in front of him to take pictures.

At this moment, a hand behind him slammed into his right shoulder. Ding Mingyi hurriedly turned around, so frightened that the camera in his hand almost slipped off.

"Reporter Ding, it's me." Wang Donghai said in a low voice.

Ding Mingyi looked back and said in astonishment: "It's you, scared me to death!" ”

I saw Wang Donghai standing behind him, wearing a black dress and a hidden cap. He smiled at Ding Mingyi, stretched out his finger and made a "shhh" gesture in front of the corner of his mouth, and then motioned for Ding Mingyi to continue.

Ding Mingyi picked up the camera again and quietly took pictures of the scene in front of him.

After a while, the motorboat drove away, and the secretary who had just commanded came to the warehouse, and after a careful inspection, he ordered the big man next to him to lock the warehouse door and wave his hand at the "stevedores", and everyone left quickly.

Wang Donghai said to Chen Liren: Look at the person who locked the door, a little familiar?

Chen Liren looked at it carefully and said: It's Chen Xianyu, this scum.

After the secretary and Chen Xianyu and the others left, only a plainclothes watchman was left in front of the gate of the dock warehouse.

Wang Donghai and Ding Mingyi made a look, Ding Mingyi understood, divided the three people into two groups, and went around to both sides of the gate. Chen Liren, who had gone around to the left, deliberately threw out a brick to make some movement and alarm the night.

"Who?" A plainclothes man on night duty walked to the left to see what was going on.

Chen Liren and Wang Donghai rushed over from behind like lightning, and Wang Donghai hit the head of the plainclothes on duty with the butt of a gun, and the plainclothes fell to the ground with a muffled sound. Chen Liren covered the plainclothes mouth with one hand, the plainclothes struggled, Chen Liren whispered: "Don't move, if you move, I will kill you." We don't want your life, but you have to listen to us, understand? He said as he placed a dagger around the neck of the plainclothes guard.

The plainclothes guard nodded in fright, indicating that he was willing to cooperate.

Chen Liren tied the two guards together and shoved a rag into their mouths.

Wang Donghai quickly searched out the warehouse key and the certificate of the 75th Division headquarters from them, he handed the certificate to Ding Mingyi, and then used the key to open the warehouse door, and several people pushed the door and walked in.

They were inside the warehouse and saw all the items neatly arranged on their separate sides. On one side are rice and clothing, and on the other side are Japanese goods such as cloth, medicinal herbs, and cigarettes. There are also several large bags of specially packaged items stacked in the corner.

A few people walked over curiously, Chen Liren opened the package three times and divided five by two, and looked carefully, it was opium, morphine and other drugs, and several people were dumbfounded.

"They actually used the Red Cross Society' to relieve refugees, and they went to Xiamen to traffic Japanese goods, filling their own pockets, these turtle bastards!" Wang Donghai said indignantly.

Chen Liren scolded: "When the country is in trouble, I don't go to resist Japan to fight devils, and I smuggle drugs with devils to poison my compatriots, grandma's, are they still Chinese, their conscience is eaten by dogs." ”

"What's the use of just scolding, don't come and help!" Ding Mingyi shouted.

"Oh, here we are!" Chen Liren turned on the light switch on the side of the gate, and Ding Mingyi took the opportunity to pick up the camera and take pictures of them one by one.

The next day, Ding Mingyi wrote down what he had seen and photographed, and together with the photographs he had taken, carried a special report in the "Minnan Xinbao": Fan Jiangpeng, director of the Political Training Office of the 75th Division of the Kuomintang Zhangzhou Garrison, and Dai Zhongming, magistrate of Longxi County, led the diehards "Special Newspaper Society," but they used the motorboat used by the Red Cross Society to relieve refugees and went to Xiamen to smuggle Japanese goods, wantonly embezzling and committing ...... malpractice.

As soon as this report came out, it immediately caused a shock in Zhangzhou.

In the county government of Longxi County, Dai Zhongming, the county magistrate who had no idea, opened the suitcase on the table, looked at the boxes full of gold bars and fiat currency, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He carefully closed the box, rubbing his hands together excitedly. He turned around the house a few times, turned on the gramophone again, put on the vinyl record, and sang the familiar West Road Pingju "Flower Pavilion Meeting" in the gramophone, and he couldn't help but sing along:

Gao Wenju sat firmly in the study, and suddenly remembered the things at home, my uncle and aunt read the book at home, Sister Zhang En is my good husband, I read until the Dragon and Tiger Day, and I seek fame in the year of Dabi......

Dai Zhongming was singing vigorously, and the secretary ran in in a panic.

The secretary cried and said, "County magistrate, it's not good!" ”

Dai Zhongming stopped singing and lowered his face: "It's really a disappointment, what's the big deal?" ”

Secretary: "County magistrate, just look at it!" He said as he handed over the "Minnan New Newspaper".

Dai Zhongming grabbed the newspaper and looked at it carefully. He looked at it, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.

The secretary trembled with fear.

Dai Zhongming was so angry that he suddenly crumpled the newspaper into a ball, smashed it at the secretary next to him, and scolded: Look at it, this is all a good thing you did, bastard!

The secretary cried with a sad face: I did what you said, and that night, I didn't find anyone going!

Dai Zhongming roared. "No one is going, how can you let people shoot it and send it to the newspaper, you fucking can make me miserable, you can't escape this matter, did you eat inside and out, and did it with them!"

The secretary was overwhelmed with fright, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

The secretary hurriedly defended and said: County magistrate, I really don't know.

At this time, someone came to report: the county magistrate, the seventy-fifth Fan Jiang Peng to meet him.

County Magistrate Dai yelled at the secretary: "Don't give me a chance to get out, there is not enough to succeed and more to lose."

The secretary quickly slipped out the back door.

County Magistrate Dai straightened his clothes and hurriedly went out.

In a street corner across the street from the gate of the county government, Chen Liren was hiding there and stretched out his head to look at the opposite side, just in time to see Fan Jiangpeng at the gate.

Fan Jiangpeng spun in circles, his face full of anxiety and anger.

Dai Zhongming walked over and hugged his fist at Fan Jiangpeng: Director Fan, which gust of wind blew you here.

Fan Jiangpeng looked at Dai Zhongming without squeaking.

Dai Zhongming hurriedly said: Director Fan, please come in.

Fan Jiangpeng hurriedly walked into the courtyard with him.
