"Comrade Li Yi was secretly arrested by the enemy." Comrade 'Red-Cutted Crane' said, "Comrade Wang Heqi, his direct traffic officer, could not contact Comrade Li Yi, and then he realized that something had happened to him."
He said to Cao Yu, "Comrade Wang Heqi reported the information through secret channels. After Comrade 'Farmer' learned about this situation, the telegram arrived at me. It was already two days later."
"It was a few days between Comrade Wang Heqi's discovery that Comrade Li Yi was unable to be contacted, and when he reported to the organization, it was a few days apart." Cao Yu asked immediately.
"Three days." Bao Rengui said, "According to the agreement, they will meet each other in three days, or pass by each other on the road. In fact, they must be sure of safety."
Cao Yu fell into deep thought.
Comrade Li Yi’s code name is ‘Little Cousin’. In addition, Comrade Li Yi has a very important identity. He was once Cao Yu’s direct liaison officer.
This is also the reason why Comrade Li Yi was so nervous after being arrested, from Comrade Li Yi to Comrade "Farmer" to Comrade "Red Crane", he had to rush from Shanghai to Nanjing immediately to warn him of Comrade "Second Crane" who was in Nanjing at this moment.
"Can you be sure that it was the Nanjing District of the agent headquarters?" Cao Yu asked immediately.
"It's basically certain." Bao Rengui nodded, "However, the specific situation still needs to be confirmed."
"There is another situation." Bao Rengui said.
"you say."
"We have a comrade named Hang Kaiqing. He worked in Liang Hongzhi's reform regime before, and later entered the Wang Puppet regime." Bao Rengui said, "Just last month, Comrade Hang Kaiqing was exposed when he obtained a secret document from the enemy."
"I have some impression of this name. He was surrounded by spies from the Nanjing District of the agents' headquarters and committed suicide." Cao Yu said with a serious expression.
"Yes." Bao Rengui nodded, "Comrade Hang Kaiqing was the one who personally arranged to invade the enemy by Comrade Xiangwu. He had been lurking in the National Party government for a long time, and later he was ordered to invade Liang Hongzhi's reform regime and become a traitor."
"Comrade 'Farmer' suspected that the enemy discovered the traces of the 'Little Cousin' through investigation by Comrade Hang Kaiqing." Bao Rengui said.
"Comrade Hang Kaiqing and Comrade Li Yi know each other?" Cao Yu asked immediately, "Has there been a horizontal connection between them?"
"Regularly speaking, the two of them should not know each other's identity. Whether it is Comrade Hang Kaiqing or Comrade Li Yi, they are directly led by Comrade "Farmer" and there will be no horizontal contact." Bao Rengui shook his head and said.
"Is it possible that they accidentally discovered the other party's identity during their lurking work, and later fought side by side?" Cao Yu asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know." Bao Rengui said, "The actual situation is only clear to the two of them themselves."
After squirting the ashes, Bao Rengui continued, "However, in terms of organizational discipline, if they discovered each other's identities, they should not have any contact and should have reported this unexpected situation. However, Comrade 'Farmer' did not receive a similar report."
"Will something happen before I could report to Comrade 'Farmer'?" Cao Yu frowned and said.
Comrade Bao Rengui shook his head slightly. This was not an answer, but he could not guess this situation.
...
"In other words, the sacrifice of Comrade Hang Kaiqing and the arrest of Comrade Li Yi are likely not isolated. These two matters need to be considered in a comprehensive way." Cao Yu said thinking.
"This is the reason." Bao Rengui nodded.
"I understand." Cao Yu said, "I will find a way to inquire about the relevant situation within the agents headquarters."
"No, this is too dangerous." Bao Rengui said immediately, "You must evacuate immediately."
He looked serious, "I came to Nanjing this time to notify you to evacuate immediately."
...
"I don't think the matter is serious enough to have to evacuate." Cao Yu said, "First of all, I used the pseudonym Zhang Yang at that time. Comrade Li Yi didn't know my true identity, which also means he didn't know that Cao Yu on No. 76 was Zhang Yang back then."
"Comrade Li Yi didn't know that I was still in Shanghai. Since he was arranged to go to Moscow, we had never met again." Cao Yu said, "As long as we don't meet, objectively speaking, I am safe."
"It can be said that I am currently in the dark, and there is no direct danger in inquiring about the situation in secret." Cao Yu lit a cigarette, took a breath, and said.
"In addition, I believe in Comrade Li Yi's loyalty to Red." Cao Yu said, "I am familiar with and understand Comrade Li Yi, and I have confidence in him. He is a trustworthy Bolshevik warrior!"
...
"The last reason is not valid." Bao Rengui said with a serious expression, "Of course I am willing to believe in the loyalty of Comrade 'Little Cousin' to the Party, but there is iron discipline in the organization, which is the iron rule forged in blood."
He looked at Cao Yu with a serious expression, "One day, if I am arrested, you must evacuate immediately. I believe I have steel and iron bones and can withstand the enemy's torture instruments, but I dare not gamble, and you cannot gamble."
"I'll stick to my attitude. I can first find out the situation." Cao Yu said. Seeing Comrade Bao Rengui want to speak, he followed, "Of course, once there is a sign of danger, I will evacuate immediately. Please rest assured by the organization."
Bao Rengui was silent.
...
"It is very difficult for me to successfully invade the secret service headquarters," Cao Yu said. "It is not only the secret service headquarters, but also the relationship between Chongqing. I continue to lurk, which is very necessary for the cause of the war of resistance and revolution."
"You decided?" Bao Rengui said.
"I've decided." A smile appeared on Cao Yu's face.
"How do I need to cooperate with you?" Bao Rengui asked.
"There is no need to cooperate. I am the safest thing to do by myself." Cao Yu said.
"There is another very important point." Cao Yu said solemnly, "We cannot meet again after today."
He said to Bao Rengui, "I am now living in Yangjiang Hotel. My guest room is by the window. There is a crooked tung tree outside the window, which is easy to recognize."
"I usually hang a white shirt on the windowsill with a hanger at night, and put it away during the day. If the white shirt is not there during the day, or if the lights are on at night, and if the white shirt is on at night, it means I have nothing to do. Once the white shirt is still there during the day, or if the white shirt is not there during the day, and the white shirt is not there during the day, it means something happened to me." Cao Yu said, "In this case, you must evacuate immediately and notify Comrade Yi Jun from Shanghai to make a transfer."
...
Comrade Bao Rengui didn't speak, just smoked in a depressed manner.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Comrade Cao Yu deeply, "You must take care of yourself."
"The War of Resistance Against Japan has not been victorious, the revolution has not been successful, and I have not seen the founding of New China, so I can't bear to sacrifice." Cao Yu smiled heartily.
As he said that, he did not drag on the slut, "Okay, it's not time to go, I'll leave now. After I leave, you will quickly change your address."
"Take care of yourself!"
"Take care of yourself!"
The two big hands were held together with force.
