A few dozen meters ahead was the seaside department store, so the rickshaw driver slowed down.
Shen Xi was also ready to get off the bus.
At this moment, his heart suddenly clicked.
He didn't see Ah Huang.
Ah Huang was a dog. Shen Xi liked dogs and would often bring some stick bones for Ah Huang to enjoy, so Ah Huang became close to him.
Often, Ah Huang would know that someone was coming before he arrived at the Haibin Department Store, and Dian Dian'er would come out to greet him.
Now, he was almost at the entrance of the Haibin Department Store, but there was still no sign of Ah Huang.
Thinking of the warning code in his pocket, Shen Xi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Don't stop, keep walking." He immediately said to the rickshaw driver, "Go to Parkson Cinema, and then I remembered that I made an appointment."
The rickshaw driver turned to look at the passengers.
Chen Xi immediately held his breath and concentrated, not wanting the rickshaw driver to see his nervousness.
"Sit tight." The rickshaw driver grinned, showing his yellow teeth, but he did not stop and continued running.
When passing by the entrance of Haibin Department Store, Shen Xi glanced at it from the corner of his eye.
Just at this glance, he knew something was wrong, something had happened:
Guan Yunjie, the young boy who was supposed to be greeting customers at the store, was not there.
He didn't dare to continue peeking, and pretended to close his eyes to rest. The rickshaw continued to run on the bluestone road, with slight bumps, and his heart sank to the bottom.
…
"Dou Shibao."
"Fang Shaoxian."
Wan Haiyang held the roster in his hand and called the names.
The captured military commander whose name was called by him agreed dejectedly.
"Idiot!" Wan Haiyang glanced at the corpse in the yard and sneered, "As stupid as that dog."
Guan Yunjie tried to resist, but was wiped on the neck. A yellow dog, which bared its teeth at the crowd, was also beaten to death with a brass-tipped police baton.
…
Kaiserstrasse Heinchi.
Xiaoduri grocery store.
A team of agents and police broke in.
"Hurry up!"
"Back, go to the back, radio station, code book!" Lu Changxin, who was leading the team, ordered.
In addition to arresting Shen Xi, the deputy leader of the Qingdao Station Radio Group and other related personnel, the main task of his group was to seize the radio station and the code book.
However, at this moment, Lu Changxin had a bad premonition, because after they broke in, they did not find Jing Yansheng, the boy from the grocery store.
According to Qi Yafeng's explanation, Shen Xi has a subordinate next to him, Jing Yansheng, the clerk of Xiao Du's grocery store. Regardless of whether Shen Xi is in the grocery store or not, Jing Yansheng must also be in the store.
Lost?!
Sure enough, he led people to the backyard house, only to find that there was no one there. Not only Jing Yansheng was not there, but Chen Xi was not there either.
"Captain Lu, there is no one."
"There's no one in this room either!"
All the subordinates and the police also reported that the entire Xiao Du Ri grocery store was empty.
"Where's the radio station? Search!"
Everyone searched the entire grocery store, but no radio station was found.
"Here's a discovery." shouted an old policeman. He knocked on the wall and found a hidden compartment.
"empty!"
Lu Changxin stepped forward in two steps. He took a closer look and saw that this hidden space could just fit a radio box.
"Mobby!" He cursed angrily.
Lu Changxin stood up, his eyes resting on the row of bookshelves against the wall of the room.
Um?
Lu Changxin immediately noticed,
.
On the bookshelf that should be neatly arranged, there is a place that is a little loose.
He gestured with his palm and found that there was room for about three books.
Obviously, these three books contain the code books for the radio station.
News leaked?
Lu Changxin immediately became suspicious.
Generally speaking, unless there is an emergency, the radio station will not be taken away easily. Now that the radio station and the code book have disappeared, there is only one explanation, and that is that Shen Xi took the radio station and the code book away.
Why did he suddenly leave with the radio and code book?
Obviously aware of the danger.
But, how could the news leak out?
Is it inside the secret service headquarters, or are there Chongqing elements among the police officers involved in the arrest?
Lu Changxin was a little confused. This arrest was an emergency operation. As soon as Ke Zhijiang confessed, many arrest operations were launched here. In terms of time, even if there was really a concubine, there was no time to deal with it. Opportunity to send information!
However, the situation at this moment made Lu Changxin doubt whether he would leak the secret of the operation.
…
Shen Xi's heart was sad and frightened.
He became even more vigilant after he became highly suspicious of something happening at the Seaside Department Store.
Sure enough, he discovered more clues.
On Antai Road where the Haibin Department Store is located, there are many strong men. For example, there is a tea stall next to a telephone pole on the roadside that we passed just now.
There are three tea customers at the tea stall, all men in neat clothes. This is wrong.
This made him more certain that the Seaside Department Store had been exposed and something had happened.
The rickshaw driver pulled the rickshaw out of Antai Road, turned right, and turned into Tianmen Street.
At the Xiangji Restaurant at the intersection of Tianmen Street, a familiar figure appeared in Shen Xi’s sight.
Hu Zejun bought a pound of pig ears and two pounds of fried peanuts. After paying the money, he handed it to Xiao Hei beside him, "Take it, I will ask the boss for two pounds of dried peanuts later. It will relieve my fatigue."
Xiao Hei happily took it. Section Chief Hu was always considerate of his subordinates, and he would drink two glasses of it after a while.
"Boss Hu, you made it easy for me to find you."
At this time, Hu Zejun heard a familiar shout. He looked up and saw a rickshaw stopping. It was Shen Xi who got off the rickshaw, handed a banknote to the rickshaw driver, and then trotted over.
"Brother Shen," Hu Zejun said with a smile, pointing to the stewed vegetables in Xiao Hei's hand, "You are in for a treat. Let's have a couple of drinks later."
"That's a good relationship." Shen Xi said with a smile. He approached Hu Zejun, his expression immediately changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Quickly, something happened at the Haibin Department Store."
"What?" Hu Zejun was shocked.
"Come on, there are spies around." Shen Xi whispered, then raised his voice, "Didn't we make an appointment to go to the theater together?"
Hu Zejun's heart was in turmoil, but he was also an experienced old agent. His face was calm and he nodded, "Why don't you buy some braised vegetables and watch the show for two cups?"
The three of them walked quickly while talking, and soon walked along Tianmen Street for a short distance, turned into a small alley, and then ran as fast as they could.
…
Half an hour later.
Celebrating the opening of the teahouse.
Shen Xi and others asked for a single room.
The three of them sat on the stools and drank a lot of hot tea before they regained their composure.
"Brother Shen, can you tell me now, what happened?" Hu Zejun said in a deep voice, "How could something happen to the Haibin Department Store!"
Chen Xi then talked about his discovery.
"Just because Ah Huang didn't come out to greet you and Xiao Guan wasn't at the door of the store, can we confirm that something happened in the department store?" Hu Zejun frowned, "This is a bit arbitrary."
However, before Shen Xi could speak again, Hu Zejun frowned again, "However, you said that there was a tea stall nearby, so there is something wrong."
Shen Xi did not explain anything and directly took out the copy from the Chongqing Military Command Bureau.
.
The secret message from the Ministry was handed over to Hu Zejun.
"This is..." Hu Zejun took it and looked down, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face, "Boss Dai is far away in Chongqing, how could he know..."
He immediately realized that this meant that the military commander must have other higher-level agents within the Japanese and puppet troops in Qingdao, and it was this person who had obtained this top-secret information.
"Did you guess it too?" Shen Xi lit up a cigarette and took two puffs, but he choked. He coughed repeatedly and said, "I immediately went to Haibin Department Store to see the webmaster after receiving the telegram, but it was still too late. step."
His eyes were a little distracted, "Since Boss Dai has already made arrangements within the enemy, why didn't this person contact us directly? This information was sent to us from Qingdao to Chongqing, and then from Chongqing to us. The time spent in between..."
As he spoke, he hit the table with his fist, "If it had been earlier, ugh!"
He looked at Hu Zejun and said, "Brother Hu, the most important thing for us now is to contact the webmaster. Nothing can happen to the webmaster."
As the webmaster of Qingdao Station, Ke Zhijiang has the addresses and lists of all the units in Qingdao Station in Ke Zhijiang's mind. Once Ke Zhijiang falls into the hands of the enemy, Qingdao Station will not just be leaderless. If the webmaster cannot be punished, If he opened his mouth, it would be a disaster for Qingdao Station.
Although Shen Xi felt that based on his understanding of Ke Zhijiang, the stationmaster was a strong-willed man and was by no means a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. However, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you should be afraid of the worst.
"Yes, we need to find the webmaster and report to him what happened to Haibin Department Store." Hu Zejun nodded and said, but he suddenly shut up and said after a while, "Brother Shen, Haibin Department Store belongs to me. The location of Qingdao Railway Station has never been exposed, so how could something suddenly happen?"
"Didn't the secret message say something might have happened over there in Jimo?" Shen Xi said.
He asked Hu Zejun, "Brother Hu, how much does your intelligence department know about the situation in Jimo?"
…
Hu Zejun said nothing. He stared at the secret message and fell into thinking.
"Brother Hu?" Chen Xi said.
"Jimo, Jimo!" Hu Zejun murmured to himself. He suddenly gritted his teeth and showed hatred, "I know, I know where the problem lies."
"What did Brother Hu think of?" Shen Xi asked immediately.
Hu Zejun glanced at Shen Xi and stopped talking.
"Hey! How long has it been and Brother Hu still doesn't believe me?" Shen Xi said anxiously.
"If the information in the secret message is accurate, I think I know what went wrong." Hu Zejun looked at Shen Xi and hesitated for a moment, but he still chose to tell the truth, "We do have a brother in Jimo who has infiltrated the enemy. .”
"Is this person of a very high level?" Shen Xi asked immediately.
"Not low." Hu Zejun said.
"This means that the information from the bureau headquarters is accurate. Something happened in Jimo." Shen Xi immediately made a guess and asked Hu Zejun, "Does this person know about Haibin Department Store?"
"I probably don't know." Hu Zejun shook his head, and then murmured, "This person is an important agent of our intelligence department. He is nominally led by me, but in fact he is directly led by the station chief."
When he said this, he was stunned, and his expression suddenly changed.
Logically speaking, Lin Zhaojie should not know that the Qingdao station is located in Haibin Department Store, but Lin Zhaojie was able to contact the station manager.
Chen Xi's expression also changed, and he immediately guessed why Hu Zejun's expression changed drastically.
"Impossible!" Shen Xi said, "Even if the station commander is captured by the enemy, he will never betray his brothers!"
"I know, and I also believe in the webmaster!" Hu Zejun growled.
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
Both of them knew that even though they believed from the bottom of their hearts that stationmaster Ke Zhijiang would never rebel or betray his brothers even if he fell into the hands of the enemy.
However, various signs show that if there is indeed a problem with Jimo, then the enemy can lock Haibin Department Store in one fell swoop, except through the direction of Jimo, when the Jimo brother does not know where the Haibin Department Store is located.
.
It seems that there is no other explanation for the connection to the webmaster Ke Zhijiang.
"The most urgent thing now is to contact the webmaster as soon as possible." Hu Zejun said, gritting his teeth, "I'm going to Feicui Apartment."
"No!" Shen Xi blurted out and tried to dissuade him.
Hu Zejun took a deep look at Shen Xi. He understood the meaning of Shen Xi's flower, but he still didn't believe the webmaster.
"It's not that I don't believe the webmaster." Shen Xi smiled bitterly and said, "The current situation is mysterious and serious. Since something may have happened to Haibin Department Store, it's hard to say that Jade Apartment is safe."
He looked at Hu Zejun, "Those brothers from the Haibin Department Store, at least Bai Xiaolong knows that the webmaster lives in Jade Apartments."
After saying that, Shen Xi thought for a while, "Call me to Feicui Apartment. Even if the webmaster is not there, Team Leader Qi will be there."
"Okay!" Hu Zejun nodded.
…
The three of them left the teahouse, went around two more alleys, and found a phone booth.
"Brother, excuse me." Shen Xi handed a silver dollar to the phone booth staff and winked.
"Hurry up." The staff put away the silver coins skillfully and turned around and left the phone booth.
"I want room 302 of Feicui Apartment on Market 3rd Road." Hu Zejun then asked for the phone number and said.
The call didn't go through. To be precise, no one answered the phone.
Hu Zejun and Shen Xi looked at each other, and the three of them decisively left the phone booth and came to an alley to continue discussing countermeasures.
"At this time, even if the webmaster is not here, Team Leader Qi should be here..." Shen Xi said, "Now it seems that the webmaster may be..."
"Don't panic, add it all up again." Hu Zejun said. At this point, he was stunned. He thought of something, "Today is Monday."
He asked Shen Xi.
Chen Xi nodded, "What's wrong?"
"Team Leader Qi has the habit of going out to get his hair done on Mondays," Hu Zejun said.
Chen Xi also frowned. If this was the case, the phone could not be connected, but it was possible that Qi Yafeng had gone out.
Both of them fell into silence. The current situation was that they highly suspected that something happened to Ke Zhijiang, but they were not sure.
The most important thing is that when they are not sure whether something happened to Ke Zhijiang, they must not ignore it. Even if they know that it is very dangerous, they must contact Ke Zhijiang and warn their superiors.
As the chief officer of Qingdao Station, Ke Zhijiang must not let anything happen.
However, it is obvious that the side of Jade Apartment may be safe, or it may be a dangerous place.
"I'm going there." Hu Zejun threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with the toe of his shoe.
"I'll go." Shen Xi sighed, "I've ordered the radio station to be moved, I have nothing else to worry about."
He looked at Hu Zejun and said, "You are the head of the Intelligence Section. There are many brothers in the Intelligence Section waiting for you to notify you to evacuate. You must not get into trouble now."
"No." Hu Zejun shook his head firmly, "There is no reason to put the radio station leader in danger."
…
"Section Chief, let me go." Xiao Hei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.
Hu Zejun looked at Xiaohei.
"Section Chief, the situation is very chaotic now. While the situation at the station manager's side is unknown, nothing can happen to you and Team Leader Shen again." Xiao Hei looked at Hu Zejun and said, "I'll go, I'm just a little minion. Even if something happens, it won’t have much impact.”
"Xiao Hei." Hu Zejun said with difficulty.
"Section Chief, don't hesitate, I'll go!" Xiao Hei said urgently.
"Okay!" Hu Zejun gritted his teeth and nodded, but couldn't help but cursed, "God damn it, it's dangerous everywhere now. It's the same everywhere."
He looked at Shen Xi, "Brother Deng is still digging tunnels over there. I have to go and notify them quickly."
When Shen Xi wanted to speak, Hu Zejun waved his hand, "I know, I know it may be dangerous, but you can't just ignore it."
"I'll go." Shen Xi took two deep puffs of his cigarette, "I'll go find Fatty Deng."
.
, you have more important things."
He said to Hu Zejun, "The most urgent thing for you now is to notify other brothers in the Intelligence Section to evacuate."
"Okay!" Hu Zejun didn't give in anymore. As he said just now, the current situation is mysterious and no one knows where is safe. If someone is unlucky, then...it's just bad luck!
He looked at Xiao Hei and said, "Xiao Hei, you leave now."
As he said that, he patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder and said, "Be careful."
Xiao Hei nodded vigorously, turned around and was about to leave, but stopped again and said to Hu Zejun, "Section Chief, I know you have a grenade on you."
Hu Zejun was silent. He silently handed the grenade to Xiao Hei.
"Section Chief, I am in my hometown in Shouguang..." Xiao Hei took the grenade and lowered his head and said.
"From now on, your mother-in-law will be my mother-in-law!" Hu Zejun's eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth.
"Then I can rest assured." Xiao Hei grinned.
After saying that, he opened the door and left without looking back.
