The surroundings are as usual, both familiar and strange.
The ticking sound of the pendulum, the delicious smell of Jasmine perfume, the occasional barking of a dog in the alley, and... the very close breath.
He knew that this scene would be repeated countless times in the future.
"Are you awake?"
Du Juan turned sideways and looked at him with a smile.
Qi Yue said: "I just had a dream..."
Du Juan asked: "What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed that I was exposed and was chased by many policemen. I was feeling lucky that all those people disappeared. Jiang Bin suddenly appeared. He raised his gun and said, "So you are the traitor and I will kill you!"
"Then what?"
"Then I woke up."
"Fortunately I woke up in time."
Du Juan smiled and patted her chest exaggeratedly.
Because of too much movement, the collar button accidentally fell open...
Qi Yue immediately looked away and reached for the watch on the bedside table.
Du Juan smiled silently, her expression teasing, and she seemed a little disappointed. She slowly buttoned up her pajamas and said, "The webmaster wants to see you."
Qi Yue asked: "What time?"
"It's noon today."
"Where?"
“Lao Xia Teahouse.”
"Lao Xia Teahouse in Huifangli?"
"right."
"...The stationmaster wants to see me, you knew it last night."
"Yes."
Du Juan did not deny it.
Qi Yue said: "Then why didn't you say it yesterday?"
Du Juan said: "This is the request of the webmaster. He asked me to inform you today. The webmaster is always cautious in doing things. After a long time of contact in the future, you will gradually understand. I let you stay at my place for this time."
If you meet someone you know, at least you can have a reasonable explanation..."
Huifangli is close to Xinmin Street. Huifangli is the only way to go to the Police Department from Xinmin Street.
Therefore, Qi Yue's appearance in Huifang is reasonable and will not arouse any suspicion.
…
In Binjiang, Huifangli is "famous".
There are hundreds of almshouses, large and small, gathered here.
At its peak, there were more than 3,000 Ji women, including many unlicensed prostitutes.
In addition to Jiyuan, there are also many other types of shops.
For example, the time-honored Lao Xia Tea House.
There are the most customers at noon. In order to attract business, there are folk art performances such as Storytelling Allegro every day. The noisy environment is most suitable for agents to connect.
Qi Yue chose a table by the window and sat down.
He has been to this teahouse more than once and is very familiar with the environment inside.
The position where he was sitting was very close to the counter. The counter was connected to the back kitchen with a curtain in the middle. If there was an emergency, he could escape through the corner door of the back kitchen.
The boy came over and said, "Sir, you are here."
Qi Yue said: "A pot of Longjing, a fried cake, a plate of melon seeds. That's it."
"Wait a moment, I'll prepare for you... a pot of Longjing and a portion each of fried cakes and melon seeds!"
The boy shouted and retreated.
"Seeing the monument of Li Ling, the old prince Yang Jiye thought to himself, Li Ling of the Han Dynasty betrayed the country, why would there be people like him who built a monument for him? The old prince was heartbroken, took off his golden helmet, looked up to the sky and sighed:
That’s all! The Emperor and Heaven are above, I, Yang Ye, am powerless
To kill a thief, I can only sacrifice my life to protect my loyalty! After saying this, the old man screamed and fell to death in front of the Li Ling monument! Later generations wrote a poem praising Yang Ye: After all the troops were killed and the Chen family was destroyed, the Chen family
It’s hard for a horse to return from the mouth of the valley, but Li Ling’s monument is marked with loyalty, and travelers throughout the ages will feel sad!”
The storytelling "Yang Family General" is being performed on the stage.
The storyteller was frothing and gesticulating, and the teagoers listened with great interest.
Soon, refreshments were placed on the table one after another.
Qi Yue placed a book of poems called "Tiger Collection" on the table, with a pack of Huangdao Propaganda brand cigarettes pressed against the corner of the book - this was the specific code name for the joint.
While drinking tea, he pretended to enjoy the storytelling performance with great interest.
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a black mink fur came over. He glanced at the poetry book and cigarettes, and said with a smile: "Are you Officer Qi?"
Qi Yue looked at him: "Do you know me?"
The middle-aged man said: "On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, we met at the hometown gathering held in the Peking Hall."
"Oh, I remembered that you are Mr. Qiu."
Qi Yue suddenly realized what he was doing.
The above conversation is the secret code of communication between the two people.
A middle-aged man, Qiu Weihan, the commander of the Juntong Binjiang Station, pulled up his chair and sat down, saying in a low voice: "If anyone asks, this is the reason for our meeting."
Qi Yue had something to do and left early at the hometown gathering held in the Peking Guild Hall. Since Qiu Weihan said so, he must have been present at the time.
"Are you from Peiping too?"
Qi Yue poured a bowl of tea for Qiu Weihan.
Qiu Weihan said: "No. I am from Pinggu and studied in university in Peking."
He looked at Qi Yue for a while: "Working behind enemy lines is like walking on thin ice, and there is no room for sloppiness. Because of this, I set an inspection period for every newcomer. Only if he passes the inspection, will I consider meeting him. Knowing the inspection
What’s the content?”
Qi Yue thought for a moment: "It's loyalty. Absolute loyalty to the military commander and the party and the country!"
Qiu Weihan nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good!"
The boy passed by the table carrying a tray.
After the boy walked away, Qiu Weihan said: "There is a company commander in the security group named Ruan Huaiyong. He was imprisoned by the Military Justice Department for more than half a month for reselling military supplies. His military rank was reduced to second lieutenant and he was transferred to the city defense.
Patrol, for this reason, he has always been dissatisfied, I have an idea..."
He paused and looked at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue asked tentatively: "Do you want to instigate rebellion?"
Qiu Weihan smiled and said: "It seems that my idea is still feasible."
Qi Yue said: "The security group is responsible for public security in the city. If we can instigate an officer to rebel, it will be very beneficial to us."
Qiu Weihan said: "Ruan Huaiyong is also from Peiping, so I plan to let you use your connections with fellow villagers to find opportunities to contact him for a period of time and explore his tone. If feasible, I will send someone to contact him directly."
This thing does seem feasible. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Qi Yue will not reveal his identity.
