A gust of wind blew, and the wind chimes hanging on the eaves were blown, making a crisp and pleasant sound of the ding-bell.
"Yoya." Eguchi Eguchi leaned his body against the backrest of the sofa, put away the letter, picked up the snuff bottle on the coffee table to play with it, glanced at his subordinates, and asked lightly, "Has anyone else seen this letter?"
"The head of the report office, the letter was found by his subordinates personally from Hu Yanhao." Xiong also said, "The others did not take care of it."
As he said that, he added, "I have never opened the letter."
"Very good." Eguchi Hideya nodded happily. He stood up and patted Yuya on the shoulder, "I'm relieved when doing things."
At this moment, the snuff bottle in Eguchi Hideya's hand accidentally slipped off and fell on the carpet.
"Course Chief, I'll get it." Xiong also said attentively, and bent down to pick up the snuff bottle.
Almost the moment when Xiongya bent down to pick up the snuff bottle, Eguchi Ekyu grabbed a dagger from the coffee table and stabbed it continuously and quickly towards Xiongya's back neck, puffing.
At the same time, his left hand covered Yuya's mouth with force.
After about a minute, when Xiong stopped moving, Eguchi Ekira gently lowered his body.
Looking at his subordinates' eyes that were dying with their eyes closed, Eguchi Eki also smiled, "I said that I feel most at ease when doing things."
The dagger was pulled out from the back of the corpse, and Eiguchi took out the letter in his pocket, wiped the blood on the dagger with the envelope, lit the letter with a lighter, and lit it.
Eguchi Eki was just staring at the yellow flames quietly.
He put the burnt ashes of letter paper into a glass cup, and slowly picked up the teapot and poured water.
Put in a finger and stir gently.
Ashes, no burnt waste of paper scraps, turquoise tea leaves, blended together perfectly.
Eguchi Ekigaki also raised his neck and slowly and focused on drinking the freshly prepared mixed liquid into his throat and falling into his stomach.
There is a piece of black confetti on the glass, and two words can be seen vaguely:
Huizi.
Eguchi Eki also picked up this small piece of paper, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, as if he was savoring or recalling something.
...
No. 19, Luojiawan, Chongqing.
"Minister, 'Xiao Mian' has called back." Qi Wu took out the telegram from his briefcase, handed it to Dai Chunfeng with respect, and then took out the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"You, don't run so urgently. It's okay to be three or five minutes late." Dai Chunfeng took the telegram and took a look at Qi Wu first.
"The call from Cheng Qianfan has never been trivial, and delaying for a second may have serious consequences." Qi Wu put away his handkerchief and said seriously, "I am ashamed to me who are working on the front line who risked my life to work two more steps."
"If everyone thinks like you, why worry about the great cause of the Party and the country not prospering." Dai Chunfeng sighed.
"The director sets an example, how dare the subordinates slacken off?" Qi Wu said seriously.
When Dai Chunfeng heard this, he nodded frequently and said two words "good".
"'Xiao Mian' called back and said that he was eagerly looking forward to Lu Jingqian's arrival and would work together with Lu Jingqian."
"In addition, he said he would arrange people to collect photos of Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu in advance, so that he could investigate several days in advance." Dai Chunfeng said, but after thinking about it, he suddenly frowned.
"Does the director think there is something wrong?" Qi Wu asked.
"Don't be confused! Cheng Qianfan is confused!" Dai Chunfeng said, "If Gao and Mei really go to Shanghai to negotiate with the Japanese, the Japanese will definitely attach great importance to the confidentiality and security of the whereabouts of these two people."
"I understand." Qi Wu showed a sudden look, "What the bureau chief means is that if the Shanghai Special Information Group looks for photos of Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu at this time, it is very likely to attract the attention of the Japanese, and may even be targeted by the Japanese."
"That's the reason." Dai Chunfeng nodded, "This Cheng Qianfan is usually very smart and cautious, why is he so confused this time?"
"The bureau chief." Qi Wu thought for a while and said, "I guessed that Cheng Qianfan should be eager to complete the task assigned by the bureau chief, so he was a little impatient for a while and did not observe it for a while..."
Dai Chunfeng looked down at the telegram, and indeed saw the words "It's urgent, and my subordinates immediately made arrangements and did not dare to miss the slightest." He snorted and cursed, "I'm irritable."
He tapped his fingers on the table, and Dai Chunfeng said, "I called back 'Xiao Mian' and told him not to act recklessly, so as not to be taken by the Japanese. After Lu Jing moved to Shanghai, he should take a rigorous plan before taking action."
Cheng Qianfan and the Shanghai Special Information Group were a dagger he inserted in the hinterland of the enemy on the Shanghai beach. Safety first, and he would not be willing to break the dagger unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Yes!" Qi Wu dictated the telegram again. Dai Chunfeng nodded and confirmed, before he said goodbye and left.
...
When the telegram from the headquarters of the Luojiawan Military Bureau of Chongqing was sent to the Shanghai Special Information Group, Cheng Qianfan was in the safe house on Tais Delang Road.
Just after he finished sending the newspaper, he took off his ear cup and packed up the radio.
I carefully inspected the safe house and found that everything was safe. After normal, I left quietly.
A quarter of an hour later.
Chongqing, Zeng Jiayan, Zhou Gongguan.
A short-haired woman in the 18th Army uniform took off her earcup on her head and looked at the telegram in her hand with a serious expression.
After seeing two words at the end of the message, she decisively stood up from the chair.
"Jiahua, have Mr. Xiangwu slept?" The woman came to the living room of another room and asked in a low voice.
"Not yet." Xiong Jiahua looked at the lights in the room and shook his head and said, "You have just come from Yanzhou and don't understand the routine of Comrade Xiangwu. He has to work until midnight almost every day."
"Secret electricity." The woman whispered, "Cinnabar".
"Cinsha" is the top secret code for secret telegrams. After coming to Zeng Jiayan and being in charge of the telegram room, she always remembered many code numbers in her mind, some of which represent the top secret identity of the comrades on the other end of the telegram.
At the same time, in order to protect comrades on the hidden front, the top secret code of the telegram is different from the hidden code of the comrade on the hidden front.
For example, "cinnabar" is the code name of the telegram, which represents the top secret level of the telegram. The woman did not know what the code name of the comrade on the other end of the telegram was on the hidden front.
Xiong Jiahua looked at his wife, and he felt a little distressed.
My wife didn't know that "cinnabar" represents the "fire" lurking in the occupied areas of Shanghai, his brother-in-law and her younger brother.
He said nothing, but just walked to the door silently and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A cheerful and powerful voice came from the room.
"Comrade Xiangwu." Xiong Jiahua pushed the door open and entered, "Comrade Cheng Min sent a secret telegram, "Cinnabar"."
"Where is the telegram?" Comrade Xiangwu, who was writing at the desk, wrote a few words, closed his pen and covered his pen cap, and raised his head and asked.
"Comrade Xiangwu." Cheng Min handed the telegram over with both hands.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Comrade Cheng Min." Comrade Xiangwu said with a smile.
"Comrade Xiangwu, then I'll go out first." Cheng Min said.
She knew that this telegram was a top-secret telegram. Comrade Xiangwu was about to start translating the telegram later, and she wanted to avoid suspicion.
"Okay, take a break early and pay more attention to your health." Comrade Xiangwu said.
"Yes, thank you Comrade Xiangwu for your concern. We will notice that you should also take a break sooner." Cheng Min said happily.
Just as she was about to leave the room, she heard the voice of Comrade Xiangwu coming from behind, "Comrade Cheng Min, wait a moment."
Cheng Min stopped and turned around. Before she could speak, she heard Comrade Xiangwu say:
Comrade Cheng Min, I want to congratulate you in advance.
‘Congratulations’?
Cheng Min was a little surprised and didn't understand where the congratulations that Comrade Xiangwu said came from.
"You may be an aunt at the end of January or early February next year." Comrade Xiangwu said happily, and the smile on his face reminded me of the word "happy".
Cheng Min was stunned for a moment, then showed a surprised expression, "It's my brother and Ruolan..."
Seeing Comrade Xiangwu nodding, she clenched her fists happily, her eyes full of excitement and joy, "That's great."
This is the news she learned about her younger brother again after more than a year, and it is even more good news. Her heart is filled with peace of mind, happiness and joy.
After saying that, Cheng Min saluted Comrade Xiangwu, then glanced at her husband Xiong Jiahua again, and then turned around and left.
There was a sound of walking outside, as if the steps were all filled with excitement notes.
Comrade Xiangwu and Xiong Jiahua looked at each other and both smiled.
"You are doing a good job of confidentiality." Comrade Xiangwu pointed at Xiong Jiahua.
Xiong Jiahua naturally knew who sent the message "Cinnabar" and also knew some information about Comrade Cheng Qianfan.
However, it is obvious that Xiong Jiahua strictly abides by the confidentiality discipline and does not disclose anything to his wife.
"Organizational discipline, no sue your parents, no sue your wife and children." Xiong Jiahua said with a serious expression.
Comrade ‘Xiangwu’ nodded slightly.
The message was translated quickly:
Chongqing sent Song Fuguo to Shanghai soon, and asked me and Song to join forces to investigate Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu's whereabouts.
Chongqing suspects that Mei and Gao may meet with Japan in Shanghai.
In addition, the Doi-Feiyuan organization of the Japanese Army General Staff has been very active recently and deserves vigilance.
In addition, it was learned that Gao had secretly visited Japan with several months ago and had secretly held talks with the Japanese side, which caused Chang's anger.
Comrade Xiangwu had a serious expression.
He lit a cigarette.
Comrade Xiangwu did not smoke. When he was tired, he would put the lit cigarette on the ashtray.
"Some people are afraid they want to betray the revolution again!" Comrade Xiangwu's expression was so painful, and he said in a deep voice, "No, this is to betray the ancestors and forget the ancestors!"
...
Two days later.
No. 22 Xuehuali Road.
Cheng Qianfan crossed his legs, sat on the chair with his butt, leaned forward slightly, holding a magnifying glass in his hand and was studying the snuff bottle in his hand.
Bangbangbang.
The office door was knocked.
"Come in."
"Brother Fan." Hou Pingliang came in.
"Is there something wrong?" Cheng Qianfan picked up the magnifying glass and looked at Hou Pingliang. The little monkey suddenly became extremely strong.
"Brother Fan, there is a result." Hou Pingliang said.
"What's the result?" Cheng Qianfan was stunned.
"Ding Yu." Hou Pingliang said, "Brother Fan, didn't you let me get her lipstick..."
"Oh, yes, yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Tell me, what have you found?"
"I took the lipstick to the hospital for testing, there was nothing suspicious about it." Hou Pingliang said.
"Huh?" Cheng Qianfan put down the telescope and snuff bottle in his hand, raised his head, frowned and asked, "No problem?"
"It's true." Hou Pingliang nodded.
Cheng Qianfan pressed his right hand against his eyebrows, his expression a little cold. His intuition at that time told him that Ding Yu's lipstick must be a bit tricky.
However, now the little monkey reported that the lipstick was fine.
"Forget it if there is no problem." Cheng Qianfan secretly wrote down this matter in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Is there anything else? If you have nothing to do, go out and don't disturb me from learning antique culture."
"Brother Fan, there is no problem with lipstick, but the brothers followed Ding Yu, but found that someone was secretly following her." Hou Pingliang said quickly.
"Oh?" Cheng Qianfan raised his head, "Is there someone following Ding Yu?"
A curl was raised at the corner of his mouth, "Did you find out which part of them are?"
"I don't know what kind of people they are." Hou Pingliang shook his head, "However, my subordinates noticed that these people usually appear near Wujiaochang."
"Wujiaochang!" Cheng Qianfan's expression moved slightly. He put down his snuff bottle, came to the wall, and opened the scarlet curtain to reveal the map of Shanghai.
He took the command pole handed over by Hou Pingliang, and Cheng Qianfan clicked somewhere on the map:
This is the Wujiaochang.
The Wujiaochang is less than 16 square kilometers in radius. It is named after the beautiful roads built in the 19th year of the Republic of China, Xiangyin West Road, Huangxing Road, Xiangyin Road built in the 14th year of the Republic of China, and Songhu Road built in the 12th year of the Republic of China, which is radial in the 19th year of the Republic of China.
This place was originally a shock plain embracing by the Qiujiang River, a tributary of the Huangpu River, Zoumatang, and Zoumatang, so it is also called "Yuansha".
In the late Qing Dynasty, Wujiaochang belonged to Yinxiang Township, Shanghai County, which was a rural field.
The more famous cultural landscape here is the "Yuansha Tomb" established to commemorate the anti-Qing hero Hou Dongzeng in Jiading City in the late Ming Dynasty. There are stone people and stone horses next to the Yuansha Tomb.
During the Second Battle of Shanghai last year, Shanghai fell, Wujiaochang was also in war, and almost all the villagers' houses were reduced to ruins in the war.
The former Shanghai Municipal Government office building here was occupied by the Japanese army.
The Japanese army took a fancy to the geographical location of Wujiaochang and garrisoned and immigrated here.
The Japanese army drove away the indigenous people of Wujiaochang and moved more than 1,000 immigrant households to Japan, and wanted to turn Wujiaochang into a Japanese neighborhood.
They changed Qimei Road to Matsui Street, Huangxing Road to Ghana Road, Xiangyin Road to Spy Road, Songhu Road to Cangyongtong, and Japan Street was set up in the area of ​​Guoquan Road and Minghe Street was set up in the railway new village.
For a time, lanterns in Wujiaochang were hung high, flags were flying, wooden clogs were heard, and the orioles were wandering, like a "land of Eastern America".
