Chapter 172: Friend or Foe
In the evening, in the temporary office of the Gudao United Relief Society of Yude Girls' Middle School, the other personnel had left after work, and only Liu Zifeng was still busy, carefully counting the figures of donations, donations and detailed accounts of various relief expenses.
Then he picked up an abacus and calculated each set of numbers, and carefully filled them into the form one by one.
At this time, someone walked in from outside the door.
Liu Zifeng saw that it was Master Du. He was wearing old clothes and an old felt hat on his head, and his face was happy.
Liu Zifeng put down the pen in his hand and was shocked. He thought that the last time he was following the "strange old man" was disturbed by him halfway, he couldn't help but be vigilant.
He asked quietly, "It's Master Du, are you still in trouble so late?" ”
"I'm coming to see you?" Master Du looked around and saw that there was indeed no one nearby, so he leaned over and said, "At dusk, there is a golden world outside the window. ”
When Liu Zifeng heard this, he was even more surprised. This is the code word of the joint of the organization, is this the person sent by the organization?
But his face was very calm.
So he responded: "That's the maple leaves falling all over the sky, look at the wind outside the window." ”
Master Du didn't follow the code words of the joint. He abruptly changed the subject and said, "Do you have tea here, pour me a hot one." ”
Liu Zifeng got up, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Look out the window."
Master Du took two sips of the teacup and asked, "This tea is good, what kind of tea?" ”
"Look at the wind outside the window?" Liu Zifeng said this sentence again. This is the code word of his one-line contact with the underground party in Gulangyu.
Seeing that Master Du didn't answer, Liu Zifeng began to suspect that he was not a member of their organization, but a Japanese spy.
Liu Zifeng heard that he hadn't said the code words yet, so as soon as he stood up, he pulled out a pistol from behind him, pointed at Master Du's head, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
Master Du slowly put down the cup and said, "I'll tell you all this, but you don't have to point the gun at me, be careful that the gun goes off and gives it to me." ”
He looked very calm as he spoke.
Liu Zifeng scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, say it quickly, otherwise I will kill you." ”
Master Du pushed away his hand holding the pistol, and said calmly, "It's right to be vigilant in our business." Okay, let's get down to business. Didn't you ask me who I am, I'm actually the same as you, I'm a fellow traveler. ”
Liu Zifeng sneered and said, "Brother, I really don't understand what you're talking about. What fellow travelers? ”
"I know that you have been sent by the underground party and that you have been tasked with it. We have been on Gulangyu Island for a long time, and we have no direct mission contact with you, so you are understandable for suspecting me. But I know what you need and I can help you. Master Du explained.
Liu Zifeng whispered: "How can I believe you what you say? ”
Master Du said with an anxious face: "Why don't you believe what I say, if I were a Japanese spy, would I still come alone?" If I were, you'd be sitting on a tiger chair drinking chili water by now, how could you have time to talk so much nonsense! He said anxiously and stood up.
Liu Zifeng looked around and scolded sharply: "You don't play tricks, stand there and don't move, otherwise I'll shoot." I ask you now, how did you know my identity? ”
"How do I know you, the question is simple. I can tell you. For every comrade who enters Gulangyu, the organization leader will send me a copy of that comrade's information, so that we can help them secretly. As for you, your name is Liu Zifeng. ”
Liu Zifeng kept holding the gun and had no intention of putting it down, but he was a little hesitant in his heart.
"Is he really someone from his own organization?" He asked again.
Master Du no longer defended, silently took out two photos from his pocket and said, "This is what you want, maybe it will help you!" ”
He placed two photos on the table and added: "When I was keeping an eye on the 'strange old man', I found that he always went in the direction of the Japanese consulate, but he disappeared near the consulate, and then the special service team of Hong Xingtai was dispatched urgently, and I felt that there was a tacit understanding between the two of them." ”
Liu Zifeng was moved to hear this and said, "Thank you, comrade. ”
Master Du glanced at Liu Zifeng sincerely again and said, "Comrade, if you need help, just come to me, we will find a way." ”
"Well, if you keep an eye on the enemy, they will definitely suspect you, so be sure to stay safe." Liu Zifeng advised.
"Don't worry, I'll be safe." After Master Du finished speaking, he opened the door and left.
Liu Zifeng put away the pistol, picked up the two photos on the table, looked at them, and stuffed them into his pocket.
