"The danger is there, but we can't care about it now. Zhang Shouzheng and Pang Yiping received my life-saving grace. I bet their conscience has not been completely wiped out," Lin Chuang said.
"No, sir, how can you bet like this? Who are they? They have all become traitors, what conscience do they have left?" Yi Lianhua was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Zhang Shouzheng may have no bottom line, but Pang Yiping does not. Although she is frivolous, I don't think she will betray her savior. And Zhang Shouzheng obeys her words and never dares to disobey." Lin Chuang finished speaking and then sighed.
: "Humans, the biggest difference between humans and animals is that they have feelings. Now that things are critical, I can only bet on her humanity. Other than that, I can't think of any other good ideas."
After saying this, I suddenly thought: "No good plan, Wu Liangce? I am now in such a helpless situation. Am I because of Fatty's stupidity? Or he is the one who interfered with me."
"Sir, you can't take this dangerous move unless it's absolutely necessary. What if Zhang Shouzheng doesn't catch him? Is it possible that he is playing a long game to catch the big fish? If the joint is not successful today, isn't there still tomorrow? It is impossible for Zhang Shouzheng not to know about the military commander
This kind of rule." Yi Lianhua said.
"This possibility is possible, and it is very high. However, even so, the special commissioner must have been targeted by Zhang Shouzheng." Lin Chuang said.
"Since there is such a possibility, don't bet on human nature first. The cost is too high, and there is no guarantee of winning, so you can't do it." Yi Lianhua advised.
"Okay, I'll act according to the situation. Lianhua, you go quickly and get out of the city before the enemy reacts." Lin Chuang said.
"Okay, sir, take care." Yi Lianhua didn't bother anymore this time, shook Lin Chuang's hand, and agreed happily.
"If you can't get out of the city, abandon the car and find a place to hide it first." Before getting off the car, Lin Chuang gave another instruction.
"Yeah, I understand." Yi Lianhua said.
…
After Lin Chuang and Liu Ermeng got off the car, they called a rickshaw. Lin Chuang took the car and Liu Ermeng walked to protect them and headed towards Midu Bridge.
When passing by a department store, Lin Chuang asked Liu Ermeng to buy a black top hat.
Put the hat on your head, the brim covers half of your face.
Maybe Yi Lianhua is right. If the worst-case scenario does not occur, there is no need to repay the "love debt" to Zhang Shouzheng and Pang Yiping for the time being, and naturally there is no need to reveal his true face.
Wearing a top hat can be regarded as a bit of disguise. Unless the Japanese conduct a large-scale search, no one will let Lin Chuang take off his hat to have a look.
…
Along the way, Lin Chuang paid close attention to the passers-by, but did not find Lu Ze or Zhang Shouzheng, and there was no martial law on the street.
This shows that the situation may be better than expected.
"Sir, Midu Bridge has arrived."
The rickshaw driver said.
Lin Chuang had long noticed that the front door of "Youlai Tea House" was still deserted. When the car passed by the door, he didn't see many people inside, and of course he didn't see Pang Yiping or Zhang Shouzheng.
"Maybe Lu Ze has escaped." Lin Chuang thought with luck.
"Continue walking north and cross the bridge." Lin Chuang said to the driver.
"Okay." The coachman agreed and stepped forward to pull the car up the bridge.
"Master, where is this red building?" Lin Chuang asked the coachman when he saw the majestic red building at a glance.
"Japanese Consulate." the coachman replied.
"Consulate?" When Lin Chuang heard this, he immediately understood why there was no ambush in the store.
Lin Chuang believed that for such a big matter, it was absolutely impossible for the Japanese to let Zhang Shouzheng fight alone. It was very likely that a large number of Japanese spies were hiding in the red building and observing the movement through the side windows.
If the contact person is found, as long as Zhang Shouzheng sends a signal, he and Lu Ze will be unable to fly.
After crossing the bridge, Lin Chuang still didn't find anything suspicious.
He asked the coachman to stop, asked Liu Ermeng to pay the fare, and sent the coachman away. Lin Chuang took Liu Ermeng and continued walking north.
Of course he didn't dare to go to "Youlai Tea House". Although it didn't look suspicious from the outside, someone must have been ambushing him inside. What he was prepared for was that the contact person left and returned.
This is a commonly used method in handling cases, and Lin Chuang naturally understands it.
He came all the way north and found no trace of Lu Ze in the south. He believed that Lu Ze must have gone north.
As long as you chase north, you will definitely find something.
He believed in Lu Ze's level.
When he was in the store just now, he didn't apologize to Pang Yiping. Instead, while bowing, he put his right hand on the seam of his trousers and sent Lu Ze a Morse code.
Morse code, also known as Morse code, is a signal code that is on and off, expressing different English letters, numbers and punctuation marks in different arrangements.
For example, one short and one long represents the letter "A", one long and three short represent the letter "B", etc. All English letters can be expressed in this way.
When the letters are combined together, they become English words.
Later, the military commander reformed this and compiled commonly used Chinese characters into this code and expressed them in this digital form.
Just now, Lin Chuang used Morse code to send Lu Ze four words: "It has been exposed." Because time was limited, he could not send more content.
He believed that Lu Ze, as the deputy director of the Intelligence Department, must have understood the code. As long as Zhang Shouzheng did not arrest him immediately, he would definitely find a way to leave clues for himself.
Because Lu Ze knew very well that Lin Chuang could not ignore him and escape by himself.
…
While walking north, Lin Chuang looked carefully and found a pattern drawn on the green bricks at a corner.
A bird with its head facing west.
It was drawn with branches, and Lin Chuang understood what it meant as soon as he saw it.
This is not a bird, it is clearly Lu Ze's codename "Kunpeng".
Follow the direction indicated by the bird's head to the west, and soon you will see another bird with its head pointing north.
Go north for a while and you'll find an alley.
Because Suzhou is located between Nanjing and Shanghai, its hutong names also have the characteristics of both places.
Some are called alleys following the Nanjing custom, and some are called lanes just like Shanghai.
Lin Chuang doesn't know exactly how to name it. Anyway, this alley is called an alley because there is a square stone at the entrance of the alley with "Baihua Lane" written on it.
Suzhou is a place of great literary excellence and has produced many great literati in every dynasty.
An ordinary alley has such an elegant and poetic name, which shows the prosperity of the literary style here.
Just as Lin Chuang was about to enter the alley, he suddenly found a few people wearing felt hats gathering at the entrance of the alley. One of them even poked his head into the alley from time to time.
Lin Chuang pulled Liu Ermeng, passed by these people, and walked west.
There is also an alley to the west called Lanyue Alley, and its name is also very elegant.
When Lin Chuang saw that there was no one in the alley, he immediately ducked in.
He wanted to go out from the north entrance of this alley to see if there were any spies at the adjacent north entrance of Baihua Lane.
The most important thing is to see if Zhang Shouzheng is there.
