It was Ma Xiwen's own suggestion to disguise himself as a down-and-out gambler.
Both Japanese special forces and the Party Affairs Investigation Office have analyzed the possible identity of "Butterfly Flower", and the general judgment is that she should be a knowledgeable scholar.
Professors and teachers from major universities in Hangzhou are the key targets of review.
No one would associate the 'Butterfly Flower' who wrote the code book with a bad gambler, or even a bad gambler who 'forced his wife to death'.
Fang Jinghua looked at the sad Ma Xiwen, and he felt very uncomfortable inside.
Lao Ma is a real cultural man, very cultured and knowledgeable. He has sacrificed too much for the revolutionary work and to hide his identity.
…
"Zhong Guohao, 20 years old, was from Xiacheng District, Hangzhou. His father, Zhong Xiaoyi, made a living by fishing. In the 22nd year of the Republic of China, the fishing boat was knocked over by a Japanese warship. Zhong Xiaoyi was shot and killed by the Japanese.
My mother, Zhong Wang, made a living by mending clothes for her neighbors.
My younger sister, Zhong Xiaohua, is eleven years old and a student of Fuhua Girls’ School.
Zhong Guohao joined the Secret Service in the 23rd year of the Republic of China..."
Cheng Qianfan looked serious and glanced at Hao Zai, who was a little nervous.
"Haozi."
"My subordinate is here."
"These days, you have been working under me, and I have noticed your performance." Cheng Qianfan said, "My principle has always been to reward those who have merit."
"I have arranged two paths for you."
"First, I can recommend you to Team Leader Wan Delong. Team Leader Wan is highly respected and has extraordinary abilities. You can have a bright future by following him."
"Second, you can follow me..."
"Sir, Hao Zai is following you." Hao Zai said immediately.
"Don't rush to reply." Cheng Qianfan waved his hand, "I will leave Hangzhou this time. If you follow me, you will have to leave your hometown, and the risk is far greater than staying in Hangzhou. You still have a mother and a young sister. Please think carefully before replying to me.
I."
Hao Tsai was silent. Cheng Qianfan was right. He still had an old mother and a young sister. He was the backbone of the family. If he left Hangzhou, how would his old mother and young sister survive?
However, Hao Zai knew that this was his opportunity.
If he was given a choice, he would be eager to follow Commander Cheng.
Although the superior would recommend him to Team Leader Wan Delong, Hao Zai is very knowledgeable. Even with Commander Cheng's recommendation, Team Leader Wan would not pay too much attention to him.
I have already been favored by Commander Cheng, and the best choice is to follow Commander Cheng.
About two minutes later, Hao Zai gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, Hao Zai is still willing to follow you."
"What should you do with your old mother and young sister?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"My subordinate has saved some savings over the years and left them with me and my sister. It should be enough for them to use for a while." Hao Zai looked at Cheng Qianfan, "This subordinate wants to follow the superior and follow a superior like you. This is my subordinate's responsibility.
Blessing, and..."
"And what?"
"My subordinates can see that the commander is doing important things. By following the commander, the subordinates can kill more Japanese," Hao Tsai said.
"Following me is very dangerous. You may lose your life at any time."
"I'm not afraid," Hao Zai said through gritted teeth. "When I joined the Secret Service, I didn't want to survive. I just wanted to kill a few more Japanese."
Cheng Qianfan took a deep look at Hao Zai, which was why he considered taking Hao Zai back to Shanghai. Hao Zai was smart and liked him, and he had a blood feud with the Japanese and was relatively reliable.
"Okay." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "On the train tonight, I'll give you three hours to go home and say goodbye to your mother and young sister."
With that said, Cheng Qianfan took out a stack of French coins from his pocket and said, "Here are two hundred French coins, take it."
"Sir." Hao Zai looked at the stack of money, a little dazed.
"Just take it if I tell you to." Cheng Qianfan cursed, "Get out of here quickly, time is running out."
Hao Zai took the money and bowed deeply towards Cheng Qianfan with red eyes.
…
Hangzhou, countryside.
In the desolate wilderness, a newly built lonely grave.
"Douzai, kneel down." The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to a five or six-year-old boy.
Douzai knelt down obediently.
"kowtow."
Douzai kowtowed obediently.
"It's not enough, keep knocking."
Douzai obeyed and continued to kowtow.
When he was young, he raised his head and saw his mother's face filled with tears.
"Mom, are you crying?"
"Mom is not crying, she is happy that daddy is back."
"Daddy, where is daddy?" Douzai got up happily and shouted, "Daddy, daddy."
The woman hugged her son and said, "Stop shouting, daddy is sleeping."
The child didn't listen to her and struggled hard, shouting, "Daddy, daddy, please don't sleep. Douzai misses you."
Not far away, Mancang covered his face and burst into tears. He found Sanni and the child half a month ago, and today he came here again and brought Meng Qiang's 'half' ashes.
The Party Affairs Investigation Department cut off Meng Qiang's head and threw it into the river, and his body was thrown into a mass grave.
After waiting for half a month, the organization quietly recovered Meng Qiang's headless body and arranged for a warehouse full of ashes to be buried.
"Daddy, daddy, Douzai misses you."
The child's voice floated in the wilderness, light and airy, but like a powerful force, it penetrated into the hearts of the child's mother and Mancang.
The woman hugged the child tightly.
Mancang slammed the ground hard, gritting his teeth...
…
Hangzhou Railway Station.
Hao Zai couldn't help but glance at Cheng Qianfan again.
Hao Zai was shocked when he saw Chief Cheng's true appearance after taking off his makeup.
He really couldn't make the connection between the dull-looking and ruthless Commander Cheng Wufang and the handsome and handsome young man now.
Apart from being surprised, Hao Zai also wanted to die for Cheng Qianfan.
The identity of the chief is extremely secret, and now I am willing to see him with his true face. What kind of trust is this!
He, a wealthy young man, died. Due to the trust of his superior, he should protect him with his own life.
Fine raindrops fell.
Cheng Qianfan patted the raindrops on his suit and took one last look at the capital city of his hometown before boarding the train.
"Boss, it's time to get in the car." Hao Zai said softly.
"Let's go." Cheng Qianfan nodded and went straight into the first-class box.
In the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, it was a day in early May on the Gregorian calendar.
There are thin drops of rain falling in the sky.
Cheng Qianfan, a patrol officer from the Central Patrol Office of the French Concession in Shanghai, ended his "business trip" in Hangzhou for more than a month. He returned to Shanghai at night with the letter that the French businessman left for Mr. Silva before leaving China...
…
No. 15 Lafayette Place, the home of Ms. ‘Ruth’.
After returning from dinner with Ying Zuoying, Keiko, who was slightly drunk, threw the bag on the sofa and returned to the bedroom.
The maid helped clean up with an expressionless expression.
"Keiko, Your Excellency Kagezu Eiichi..." The maid pushed open the door and entered.
"Don't mention this person to me." Keiko said sharply, "Get out, get out, and leave me alone."
With a bang, the door was closed.
The beautiful woman was yelling like crazy, crying and laughing.
After venting, she opened the drawer and took out a photo from a book.
In the photo, she was photographed with a young man, both of whom had pure smiles on their faces.
Touching the man in the photo, a smile appeared on the woman's face and she murmured, "Yingye..."
