The air is filled with a faint fruity aroma, the smell of apples.
The burning woody incense is made from charcoal powder from burned apple trees mixed with grass ashes.
The dresser was wiped spotless.
There is a framed sketch on the stage. The woman in the painting has short hair that reaches her ears, and the heroic look between her eyebrows does not shorten her beauty.
Cheng Qianfan picked up the frame. On the back of the sketch paper was written in Japanese: Hideko Azuma.
There is also a frame on the stage. The sketch in the frame is a photo of "Kentaro Miyazaki" and "Hideko". The two of them met with happy smiles on their faces.
Cheng Qianfan sighed inwardly.
He apologized to Zhuo Peiyun again.
Every time he came to this secret room, he would feel a sense of guilt, a feeling of guilt for Zhuo Peiyun and his parents who had suffered a family disaster.
A young girl in her prime died for her country, but he still wanted to make an issue out of her innocence.
This secret room is the biggest secret of "Kentaro Miyazaki". It is the spiritual haven of Kentaro Miyazaki, a neurotic beast. Except for himself, no outsider knows about it and is prohibited from getting involved.
Cheng Qianfan moved the dressing table and took out the secret radio station from the mezzanine in the wall.
This is a secret radio station that he has never used. It can also be said that this is a radio station that is not controlled by the enemy's radio wave monitoring.
The mission of this radio station is to connect with the 'Nightingale'.
Nightingale is the secret telegraph operator of Juntong Shanghai District and the only channel through which Cheng Qianfan can directly contact Juntong Shanghai District in an emergency.
Over in the Juntong Shanghai District, Cheng Qianfan has a codename of ‘Migratory Bird’!
This is the secret communication channel that Sheng Shuyu personally established for him when he came to Shanghai last time. However, Sheng Shuyu was only responsible for handing him the contact code. Sheng Shuyu himself did not master the code and did not know the inside story. Except for "Nightingale", this communication channel
' and 'Migratory Birds' are only known by Dai Chunfeng, the bureau chief far away in Chongqing, not even Qi Wu.
Cheng Qianfan didn’t know the true identity of ‘Nightingale’, let alone who the direct commander of ‘Nightingale’ was in the military-controlled Shanghai District.
In other words, the 'Nightingale' didn't know who the 'Migratory Bird' was across from her. She only knew that this was a nail that the bureau chief had buried deep into the enemy's interior. He was one of the most secretive intelligence agents of the Juntong Shanghai District in Shanghai!
Cheng Qianfan raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already a quarter past three in the afternoon.
The agreed fixed dispatch time has arrived.
Didi didi.
Cheng Qianfan put on his earphones, and the most mysterious intelligence agent in Shanghai District, Migratory Bird, started to send a message using a fingering method that he had never used before.
…
Go back in time five minutes.
Fukaisen Road.
A slightly dilapidated house.
Gui Qian glanced at her daughter and son who were playing outside. She told her sister to take care of her brother and not to run around outside or to open the door or bolt the door.
Locked the door.
First, I took out the half-embroidered cross-stitch to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.
Then she opened the secret compartment under the floor in the corner and took out a radio.
After some operations, this ordinary radio became a device that could receive telegrams.
During this period of time, Gui Qian will bring her children here. This is a rental place that belongs to her and her children. Only her husband Cheng Xuyuan knows the address of this place. To be precise, this place was specially prepared by Cheng Xuyuan for his wife and children.
Apart from the safe house, Cheng Xuyuan didn't know much.
Gui Qian enjoys being here very much. This small two-room cabin gives her and her children a great sense of security.
Seeing that it was almost a quarter past three, she turned on the radio and adjusted the frequency.
During the period from 3:30 to 4:00 in the afternoon, she will prepare to receive the telegram from the mysterious "migratory bird" as usual, although to this day, the other party has never had any contact with her.
Therefore, for Gui Qian, this is more like a routine matter.
However, this time it seems different.
She glanced at the radio in shock, and then her expression became extremely serious.
‘Migratory Bird’ contacted him.
Gui Qian casually picked up the book "Secrets of Hair in Suzhou and Hangzhou" beside her and quickly translated the message.
"Yesterday, the area from the Grand Guangming Theater to the Guangming Cafe was already under surveillance by the enemy. This is an ambush and trap carefully laid by the enemy."
The telegram was not long, just four sentences.
In Gui Qian's eyes, it was like a thunderbolt!
The Grand Guangming Theater and Guangming Cafe have long been monitored, ambushed, and ensnared by the enemy!
Yesterday!
She just felt a chill down her spine!
Yesterday, Gui Qian knew that her husband went to the Guangming Cafe to have a secret meeting with Wan Sanliang of the Fourth Operation Brigade.
Yes, according to discipline, Gui Qian should not know about this.
However, Cheng Xuyuan had confessed to his wife before departure that he did not trust Chen Gongshu, the mayor of Shanghai District. The only person he trusted was his wife. If something happened to him, his wife would immediately take the children to evacuate Shanghai and return to Chongqing to meet Dai Dai.
Chunfeng reported relevant matters face to face.
Chen Gongshu repeatedly arranged dangerous actions with him. Cheng Xuyuan had already become wary and dissatisfied. He suspected that Chen Gongshu wanted to borrow a knife to kill people.
If something happens and he is arrested by the enemy, he is confident that he can withstand the torture and will not betray Chen Gongshu and Shanghai District. This is the justice of the family and the country, but for personal reasons, he wants to file a complaint!
Therefore, Gui Qian also knew that her husband did not go to Guangming Cafe to meet Wan Sanliang as scheduled because the intelligence agent mistakenly issued a warning.
At this moment, Gui Qian had a strong feeling of surviving the disaster:
It turns out that the intelligence agent's warning was not a false alarm, but perhaps an accidental collision. However, it did make her husband Cheng Xuyuan lucky enough to escape.
Suddenly, she immediately remembered that her husband was going to attend the secret appointment that he had not completed yesterday, and Gui Qian stood up suddenly.
It was cold in late autumn, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on her forehead.
Gui Qian is a very smart woman. She instantly had a clearer guess about what happened yesterday:
The enemy closely monitored the Grand Guangming Theater and Guangming Cafe and set up ambushes, which shows that the enemy has long mastered yesterday's secret joint.
However, she was not sure whether the enemy had grasped the secret meeting between her husband and Zhang Shencai at the Grand Guangming Theater, or whether the enemy had grasped her husband's secret appointment with Wan Sanliang, the captain of the Fourth Operation Brigade, at the Guangming Cafe.
No, Zhang Shen should be fine.
It was precisely because of Zhang Shencai's warning that the husband evacuated in time and did not fall into the enemy's trap.
Well, there is only one answer. The enemy knows that the husband is going to the Guangming Cafe to have a secret meeting with Wan Sanliang, the captain of the Fourth Operation Brigade.
Gui Qian's first reaction was that there was something wrong with Wan Sanliang.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how the enemy mastered the secrets of the Guangming Cafe joint.
Because the purpose of this meeting between her husband and Wan Sanliangzhi was to obtain photos of the target person, Geng Jiaji. This was an impromptu meeting, and there were very few people who knew about it, so there was no possibility of leaks.
Therefore, there is a high possibility that something could go wrong with Wan Sanliang.
To put it bluntly, even if Wan Sanliang did not surrender to the enemy and become a traitor, it is basically certain that Wan Sanliang was targeted by the enemy.
In this way, the husband's secret meeting with Wan Sanliang today will obviously be under the enemy's surveillance.
Furthermore, during this meeting, the husband will fall into an ambush set by the enemy!
A huge feeling of panic instantly lingered, filling Gui Qian's entire brain.
She wants to save her husband!
Nothing can happen to your man!
Gui Qian didn’t hesitate at all!
…
Outside the door, the elder sister teased the younger brother, causing them to giggle.
Gui Qian leaned against the door, her eyes red.
She didn't know what was going on with her husband.
It is not even ruled out that the husband has fallen into the clutches of the enemy.
She didn't know what would happen if she went there. It was even very likely that both the couple would be arrested by the enemy, or they would both die for the country.
At this time, the worry for her children is like a huge burden weighing on this mother's heart.
There is no time to hesitate.
Gui Qian put the radio back into the secret compartment under the floor.
After thinking about it, Gui Qian took out a wooden box from the secret compartment and opened it. There were more than a dozen large and small yellow croakers and some silver fish lying quietly inside.
Gui Qian took a few small yellow croakers and put them into the Kun bag, and then took a small revolver and put it into the Kun bag.
Then she pressed the secret grid in place.
He put a small handful of silver into the desk drawer.
Just when she was about to open the door and go out, Gui Qian opened the drawer again, took out a few silver coins and put them under the bed.
Then she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, opened the door, and went straight to get a basin of water to wash her face.
After wiping her cheeks with a towel, Gui Qian said to her daughter, "Sister, my mother will go out for a while. You can lock the door. If my mother doesn't come back, don't open the door no matter who calls."
"I got it, Mom." The sister pretended to snatch her brother's doll, which made the brother scream.
Gui Qian glanced at her daughter and son, gritted her teeth, opened the door and went out, then called her daughter to lock the door, and left without looking back.
When we walked to the entrance of the alley, the smell of sesame cakes wafted over.
Gui Qian hurried over and bought twenty sesame cakes, as well as the sister and brother's favorite roasted sweet potatoes, and then hurried home.
After knocking on the door, Gui Qian handed the roasted sweet potatoes to her siblings, and then placed the sesame cakes in the dustpan on the dining table.
She checked the water in the water tank again.
"Sister." Gui Qian waved and called her daughter to her.
"Mom."
"Mom went out to find daddy." She touched her daughter's little head, "I mean, if, ah, if mom doesn't come back today or tomorrow, you have to take good care of your eldest brother."
She pointed to the sesame seed cakes on the table and said, "There are sesame seed cakes on the table and there is water in the water jar. You can eat and drink by yourself if you are hungry or thirsty."
"I know, Mom."
"There is some money under the bedding in the drawer in the house. If Mom and Dad don't come back for a few days, just use that one silver dollar and go out to buy food. Don't take more."
"You won't be back for several days?" The daughter looked at her mother timidly.
"I mean what if." Gui Qian held back tears and said, "Remember, lock the door and don't go out these two days. In a few days, hold your brother's hand when you go out, and come back as soon as you buy something."
"Mom."
"Sister, you are the elder sister. You have to be sensible and take good care of yourself and your brother."
"Big sister will do it." The daughter was a little scared, but under the expectant eyes of her mother, she nodded vigorously.
"My eldest sister is the best."
The little brother on the side quickly yelled, "Mom, I'm good too."
"The older sister is good, and the younger brother is good too." Gui Qian hugged her children tightly in her arms, hugging them tightly.
A tear fell on her daughter's head.
"Mom is gone, lock the door." Gui Qian rolled her eyes and went out.
"Mom, tell Abba, don't forget to buy fish and cook it." The eldest sister suddenly thought of it and stood at the door and said.
"I know." Gui Qian waved her hand. She saw her daughter closing the door and heard the sound of the latch. She took another deep look at the closed door, and her eyes began to turn red again.
She tied the scarf around, covering her mouth and nose, and sped away, walking faster and faster. She was afraid that she would not be able to help but look back or stop.
…
Cheng Xuyuan arrived at Robertson Road ahead of time.
However, he did not go directly to the cheese cafe.
The Cheese Cafe is at the eastern end of Robertson Road. He got off the rickshaw at the western end of Robertson Road, then found a noodle shop and ordered a bowl of mutton noodle soup.
His subordinate got off the bus at the eastern end of Robertson Road. Wan Sanliang didn't know this person, so he could make a secret observation in advance.
Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with Wan Sanliang, the superstitious Cheng Xuyuan couldn't let go of yesterday's accident or misunderstanding, and he only felt relieved after some investigation.
I sprinkled a lot of spicy food and drank a few big mouthfuls of mutton soup. My whole intestines and stomach felt warm and tight.
Cheng Xuyuan can eat spicy food.
However, he didn't eat the noodles very quickly. Firstly, he wasn't hungry, and also because he could quietly observe the conditions on the road outside while eating the noodles slowly.
About twenty minutes later, he saw his subordinate Wu Bufei passing by outside.
His eyes stayed on the peaked cap on Wu Bufei's head.
The peaked cap is worn Zhengzheng.
This is a sign that everything is normal.
If the peaked cap is tilted, it means there is a situation and you need to evacuate immediately.
Cheng Xuyuan was relieved. He ate the noodles in the soup bowl in several big mouthfuls and even drank the noodle soup completely.
He is not hungry, but wasting food these days, especially wasting delicious food like lamb soup noodles, will definitely attract the attention of others.
Cheng Xuyuan is meticulous and tries his best to avoid making mistakes in such details.
After paying the bill and waiting for change from the store, Cheng Xuyuan picked up his briefcase, left the mutton soup shop leisurely, and walked towards the cheese cafe at the eastern end of Robertson Road.
At this time, there are still eleven minutes left before the ideal meeting time of 5:30 pm.
…
Encouraged by Gui Qian's words of urgency and her willingness to pay an extra five cents, the rickshaw driver ran very fast.
People are coming and going on the road.
A little beggar was hit by a speeding car and died.
Gui Qian's nose felt sore. All she could think about was what would happen to her elder sister and younger brother if she and her husband were arrested and killed for their country, and whether they could survive in this troubled world.
For a moment, I thought of my eldest sister and my younger brother being abducted by a philanderer when they went out.
I thought for a while that the elder sister was so obedient and would not run around with her younger brother, and then the tragic scene of the older sister and younger brother starving to death in the house came to mind.
Her mind was filled with random thoughts.
Gui Qian covered her face with her hands. She did not dare to cry for fear of arousing suspicion from outsiders.
We arrived at the door of a cafe.
Gui Qian put the banknotes she had prepared on the seat and quickly got out of the car. Then she ran two steps, then quickly slowed down and opened the door of the cafe with an elegant gesture.
"Ma'am, how many are there?"
"I'm looking for someone."
Gui Qian's eyes swept across the cafe. This cafe was not big, and she could see everything at a glance.
Gui Qian's heart sank. She didn't see her husband Cheng Xuyuan.
Did you come late?
Something has happened to my husband.
Or is it that the husband hasn’t arrived yet?
Gui Qian raised her wrist and looked at the time on her watch. It was now 5:27 pm.
She shook her head. She knew her husband. With his caution, she would have pushed the door in at 5:29, and for the five or six minutes before that, her husband would have been secretly observing near the cafe.
This means that if her husband is nearby, he will definitely see her and come forward in advance, or attract her attention in some way to prevent him from entering the meeting place.
Did she get off the car and go directly to the cafe, which was only a few steps away, so that her husband didn’t have time to call her?
Gui Qian immediately rejected this possibility.
After she got out of the car, she slowed down a few steps, and at the same time looked around carefully, not realizing that her husband was outside.
Gui Qian took a few steps into the store and saw a group of couples drinking coffee. There was not much coffee left in the women's cups, and the same was true in the men's coffee cups.
This shows that the two of them have been drinking coffee in this cafe for a long time.
This also shows that there was no scary incident similar to arrest in the cafe, and Gui Qian immediately made a judgment.
In other words, nothing happened in the cafe and my husband was not arrested there.
"How many cafes are there on Robertson Road?" Gui Qian grabbed the waiter's hand and asked.
The waiter looked unhappy and was about to walk away coldly, but then he felt the cold metal in his hand.
He was overjoyed.
"I'm looking for my husband. There's something going on at home." Gui Qian said again.
"When you go out, turn right and walk a few dozen meters away. There is a cheese cafe." The waiter whispered, "Her waitress is a modern girl."
His eyes shone, and he felt that he had guessed what the lady was going to do.
"Thank you." Before Gui Qian could even finish her voice, she had already rushed out of the cafe.
"Ha, man." The waiter shook his head, looked down at the silver dollar in his palm, picked up the silver dollar, blew on it, put it to his ear and listened to the sound, with a smile on his lips.
…
Outside the cheese cafe.
Cheng Xuyuan was leaning against a telephone pole, holding a newspaper in his hand.
He glanced at the time on his watch.
It's 5:29 pm.
According to his own secret observation just now, everything was normal and there was no suspicious person or anything suspicious.
Cheng Xuyuan put away the newspaper, folded it, and put it into his briefcase.
Then he looked around, carrying his briefcase, Shi Shiran walked towards the cheese cafe.
"Sir, how many are there?" The service at the Cheese Cafe was excellent. A modernly dressed girl stood at the door to greet the guests. She took the initiative to open the door and said in a soft voice.
"We have an appointment." Cheng Xuyuan nodded slightly.
He had already stepped into the store with one foot.
At this moment, a woman's scream came from not far away.
"Thief! My wallet!" a woman screamed.
Cheng Xuyuan was shocked, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.
I saw a woman panting and running as hard as she could. She pointed at a man riding a foreign car in front of me and yelled in a broken voice.
This woman is none other than my wife Gui Qian!
