Chapter Eighty-Eight
The next morning, the fine spring rain began to fall on the ground, soaking the flowers and grasses on the side of the road, awakening some of the city's vitality.
A man in leather shoes on his feet and in a long blue shirt, armed with a black umbrella, walked down the damp street. He wandered to a shop selling breakfast, went inside, put away his umbrella, found an empty seat against the wall, and sat down.
He ordered a bowl of soy milk, a few buns, and sat there and ate it.
After a while, a man in a gray robe also walked into the store, came straight to the man in the blue robe, and sat down.
"Mr. Li," the gray-robed man shouted softly, and the blue-robed man nodded and asked, "Have you eaten?" The visitor nodded and replied, "Eat, what does the boss have to say?" ”
The man in the blue robe, known as "Mr. Li", took out a cigarette box from his arms, handed it to the gray man in a long shirt, and said: "This is what the boss asked me to give you", the gray man in the long shirt took the cigarette box and immediately put it into his arms.
"Mr. Lai, is there anything else?" The gray-robed man asked, and Mr. Li listened and shook his head gently. The man in the gray robe saw that Mr. Li did not say anything more, so he said, "Mr. Li, I am gone." After saying that, he stood up and walked outside the store door.
Soon, Mr. Li also finished eating breakfast, picked up an umbrella and left here.
At noon, the members of the "Cold Wind" organization located on the north street in the city settled down.
Xie Mingchu returned here from the old camp and brought the latest instructions from the superior special committee. Xie Mingchu relayed the latest instructions of the superior special committee to Captain Liu Changlin.
"My superiors want me to be the head of the contact point?" Liu Changlin said to Xie Mingchu, "Yes, the superiors instructed you to take the lead in setting up a new contact point, and before the underground party organization in the city is rebuilt, you will temporarily serve as the main person in charge of the underground work in the city, and order me to be responsible for assisting you in your work." Xie Mingchu replied.
Liu Changlin thought for a moment and said, "Well, I obey the instructions of my superiors." At this time, Xie Mingchu asked again: "Captain, is there any movement on the other side of the West Second Lane?" ”
Liu Changlin said: "Over there, there is no movement for the time being, and the agents are only in a state of surveillance at present, and have not taken any action." Xie Mingchu listened, and then asked: "So, did the persimmon lane woodware shop send someone to contact?" ”
Liu Changlin shook his head and said, "At present, there is no one sent over there, but Mr. Chen, who is in No. 38, will help us at that time." Xie Mingchu nodded, and then said: "In addition, we must immediately start to inform the comrades who are in contact with the carpentry shop to quickly hide, and if they can evacuate, they will also evacuate the city for the time being." ”
Liu Changlin said: "Well, we will immediately arrange to inform these comrades, and in addition, we must find a place as soon as possible and open a new contact point." ”
Xie Mingchu hurriedly said, "Captain, shall I go find a place?" Liu Changlin waved his hand and said, "No, you can't show your face too much, in case the enemy recognizes you." ”
Xie Mingchu said anxiously: "Captain, among the comrades now, I am the most familiar with the city, and only I can go to the most appropriate." For Xie Mingchu's request, Liu Changlin still refused to let go.
Liu Changlin said: "For the matter of finding a new place and opening a contact point, I will do it. Don't argue, obey orders. Xie Mingchu had no choice but to nod his head in agreement.
Liu Changlin asked again, "By the way, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, did Lao Ye's side make progress in digging out the inner ghost?" Xie Mingchu shook his head and replied, "Regarding this matter, I asked Uncle Ye, there is still no clue there, I estimate that in a short period of time, it will be more difficult to deal with, this inner ghost may have entered a dormant period, and can only wait for the next awakening and expose the horse's feet before it can be caught." ”
Liu Changlin frowned and said uneasily, "However, if we don't pull this nail off one day, we won't be able to have peace for a day." ”
Xie Mingchu said comfortingly: "Captain, you can rest assured, sooner or later you will pull out this nail." Liu Changlin could only nod his head and said, "That nail, our side is also beyond the reach of the whip." For now, we will solve our problem first. You stay at home first, I'll go out now, take a look, and find a safe place. ”
After Liu Changlin finished speaking, he took a few team members and left here.
In The West Second Lane, Wei Wei, the elder of the Chengdu Station Action Group of the Secrecy Bureau, was in that monitoring point, always watching every move in the house no. 38 opposite.
So far today, in house No. 38, except for a person who looks like a chef going out to buy vegetables early in the morning, the other people have not moved, like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.
Old Wei stood by the upstairs window, smoking a cigarette, spitting out a smoke ring, and constantly muttering in his heart: What tricks are these Communist Parties doing? Stayed motionless in the room all day. If it wasn't for Old Zheng's words to do it in two days, he would have rushed in with people now and put them in a nest.
Just when Old Wei was constantly thinking in his heart, a rickshaw came from outside the door of the house opposite, and a man who looked relatively young and wore a long shirt stepped out of the car and knocked on the door of the house.
Old Wei saw this man's appearance, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately threw away his cigarette butt, staring at this man with his eyes dead, afraid of missing any details.
Only to see that at this moment, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties appeared inside the door. The visiting man said something to him, and the man in the house welcomed him in and quickly closed the door.
The middle-aged man led the young man into the courtyard door, and then led him to the house inside, all the way into the house.
Old Wei instructed one of his subordinates standing next to him, "Pay attention to this person, as soon as he comes out and leaves, arrange to follow the monitoring immediately." The men quickly nodded in agreement and headed downstairs.
About half an hour later, the young man in the long robe, accompanied by the middle-aged man in his fifties, walked out of the house again and walked all the way to the gate.
The young man walked out of the gate, greeted a rickshaw, sat up, and the rickshaw pulled him in the direction he had come. A few agents who had been secretly waiting for them immediately got on their bicycles and followed.
Old Wei stood upstairs, looking at everything that was happening in front of him, with a sneering smile on his face.
In the evening, Liu Changlin finally returned to the settlement point of North Avenue.
When Liu Changlin sat down, Xie Mingchu brought him a glass of water, looking at the captain who was a little tired, Xie Mingchu said: "The captain is tired today, drink the water to moisten it." Liu Changlin took the water cup, drank the water, and said, "I have found the right place." ”
When Xie Mingchu heard this, he quickly asked, "Captain, where is the place you are looking for?" Liu Changlin replied: "Just not far from the North City Gate on Jinhe Street, the location where the house is located is not bad, it is more convenient to go out of the city, and it is easy to find when entering the city, the key is not to attract attention." ”
"I also talked to the owner, he is also an honest man, the price is also very fair, so I want to rent it as our contact point at this stage."
Xie Mingchu nodded and said, "Well, the captain is optimistic, then rent it." But now we can't give up this foothold, after all, the contact point can't put too many people. Liu Changlin nodded approvingly.
Just as the two were talking, a young team member came from outside, and he said to Liu Changlin: "Captain, in the afternoon, there are already people on the contact point of the wood shop who have passed by No. 38 West 2nd Lane." When Liu Changlin heard this, he quickly asked, "Have you seen it clearly?" Is it the people over there in the wood shop? ”
The team member nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, when he left, the agent followed him and followed him all the way to the contact point of the carpentry shop." Our people have been secretly observing, and they have not read it wrong. ”
Liu Changlin nodded and said, "Okay, I see." Xie Mingchu smiled a little and said to Liu Changlin, "I reckon that I just want to go over and see if we are really there." ”
Liu Changlin said, "Yes, I think so, but Mr. Chen will help us cope with the past." Xie Mingchu smiled and said, "Fortunately, this time there is this Mr. Chen, he can help us a lot." ”
Liu Changlin nodded and said, "This Mr. Chen and his brother are also our comrades, and he is also a capable person in the city, and he has also inquired a lot of information for us in the past, and has also helped us a lot." ”
Xie Mingchu jokingly said: "Then we should give him an award, or we should simply pull him into our team." Liu Changlin smiled and said, "We can't do this job, if it's really like you said, at least this work is also done by his brother." ”
Xie Mingchu smiled and said, "He also knows who we are and is willing to help us. But it is true that this work is better for his relatives to do it. ”
At the same time that Liu Changlin and Xie Mingchu were talking.
Wei Wei, the elder of the action group of the Secrecy Bureau, came to the office of Lao Zheng, the leader of the Sichuan working group.
"Leader Zheng, today I found a situation, No. 38 West Second Lane, a man came, this person stayed there for about half an hour, after leaving, our brother followed the investigation and found that this person was a wood shop guy in Persimmon Lane." Old Wei reported to Old Zheng.
"Oh, then monitor this place." Old Zheng buxian said calmly, paused for a moment, and then asked: "In addition to this situation today, is there any movement?" ”
Old Wei hurriedly said, "Leader, except for someone who went out to buy vegetables in the morning, no one has ever been out of the gate." The man who bought the vegetables was also followed by us, but we did not find anything suspicious. ”
"Leader, I also feel strange, why are these Communists so calm, what kind of medicine are they selling in their gourds?"
Old Zheng glanced at Old Wei and said, "This is the cunning of the Communist Party, so we must not take it lightly." ”
Old Wei's eyes rolled and he said, "Leader, I have a way to stimulate them to move, I don't know if it is feasible or not?" Old Zheng listened and quickly asked, "What method?" ”
Old Wei immediately replied, "Leader, I want the gang at the police station to help us sing a play." In the name of checking the household registration, all the houses in West 2nd Lane were inspected one by one. Old Zheng shook his head and said, "You, you don't know who lives in that place, the people who live there are all people who are also a little bit of a person in the city, people in the police station, everyone knows, what household registration is checked?" ”
When Old Wei heard this, he unconsciously froze, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
Old Zheng waved his hand and said to Old Wei, "You should still focus on the arrest in two days." Old Wei nodded hurriedly and said yes.
Old Zheng then said, "If there is nothing else to do, you should go back to that side, keep an eye on the brothers below, and continue to do a good job of monitoring." Old Wei quickly nodded his head in agreement, and then left Old Zheng's office.
When Old Wei was about to walk to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned back to Old Zheng and said a little, "Leader, I, I,"
Old Zheng hurriedly asked, "Well, what's wrong?" Old Wei quickly turned around and said, "Team leader, I think there seems to be something wrong with No. 38 West Second Lane." ”
"What's wrong?" Old Zheng asked, and Old Wei hurriedly walked over to Old Zheng and continued: "Leader, just now I heard what you said, the area around the West Second Lane is the residence of people with a little bit of face, and the rent of the houses there should also be high, and the Communist Party gang is not a kind of local rich man, according to common sense, they will not rent such a good house." ”
"And, according to my observation, the house is big and wide, enough to accommodate dozens of people, and the rent is even less cheap. What's more, the people inside not only have cooks who buy vegetables, but also people who look like people who are responsible for taking care of everything in the house, which is too similar to the life of a large family, not like the Communist Party at all. ”
Old Zheng listened, frowned a little, and asked, "What if the Communist Party deliberately made it for people to see?" In fact, Lao Zheng was not without doubts, but he trusted the information provided by the "chameleon bird" very much, so he did not continue to doubt.
"This, it's not impossible, maybe I'm worried about it, team leader." Old Wei said hurriedly.
At this time, the phone on Old Zheng's desk rang, and Old Zheng picked up the phone, put it in his ear, listened for a while, and said: "Well, I know." He hung up the phone.
"Old Wei, rest assured, it is true that the Communist Party is on the 38th." Old Zheng said seriously to Old Wei, and Old Wei listened to what Old Zheng said, and also responded hurriedly: "Well, I know, just now it is true that I am worried, group leader." ”
Old Zheng waved his hand again and said, "It's all right, you go and get busy." Old Wei heard this and withdrew from the office.
The phone call just now was from Li Zi'an, and Li Zi'an's report on the phone made Old Zheng take a reassuring pill again.
Li Zi'an said on the phone that according to the intelligence statement just delivered by the "Color-Changing Bird", the "Color-Changing Bird" had sent someone to contact No. 38 West Er Lane and confirmed that the leader of the "Cold Wind" organization was at No. 38 West Er Lane.
Old Zheng leaned back on his office chair, narrowed his cunning eyes again, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
After entering the night, in the "dark night" inside the enemy, I saw the briefing passed by Lao Zhou.
The briefing shows that there are no personnel of our side at No. 38 West 2nd Lane, and this is a set set up by our comrades for the enemy.
At this point, the heart carried by "Dark Night" finally relaxed completely.
He stood behind the window, smoking a cigarette, his mind rolling over, not only worried about the safety of his comrades, but also the expectation of fighting side by side with them, and even more the expectation and beautiful vision of the future victory of the revolution.
Spring rain poured down outside the window, continuing to soak the ancient city.
At this time, in the wood shop in Persimmon Lane, the "color-changing bird" sat on a bamboo chair in the back hall, holding a cigarette in his hand, and his face was uncertain. At this moment, he was constantly thinking about the events of these days, calculating whether every move he had taken was safe.
He pondered in his mind: He had been lurking within the Communist Party all these years, walking on thin ice, and although he had been in a dormant period, the fear and uneasiness in his heart had always been there. After this mission is over, you may be able to get out of here completely and never have to worry about being afraid again.
Thinking of this, his nervous expression finally relaxed a little.
"Oh, what are you thinking?" At this time, a voice almost startled the "chameleon bird" who was contemplating. He fixed his eyes on the fact that it was Deng Xilin, the accountant in charge of the store, a thirty-year-old man, who was also a member of an old underground party organization and the deputy head of this contact point.
"Oh, it's Xilin, I wonder if the comrades sent down by the organization to carry out the reorganization work can safely and steadily advance the reorganization work."
Deng Xilin sat down and said: "With the overall arrangements of the superiors and the assistance of Comrade Liu Changlin, the captain of the "Cold Wind", no matter how big the difficulties are, they can be overcome. ”
The "Chameleon Bird" nodded, squeezed out a smiling face, and said, "Hmmm, Xilin, you are right, we must have firm confidence, victory, it must belong to us." ”
Deng Xilin asked again: "Captain Liu has not seen him come over in the past few days, should we contact him?" See how his work is going? "The discolored bird" said hurriedly: "I have been contacted today, and Liu Changlin has sent news that everything is going well, let's wait for the good news." ”
"Oh, then rest assured. When everything is safe, the reconstruction of the underground party organization in the city can be carried out freely. Dunsillin said.
The "Color-Changing Bird" nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, after waiting for stability, we can do a big job." ”
Dunsillin listened and laughed happily.
