Chapter 15: Take the Initiative
"Hey, I'm looking for Teacher Fan, yes, Teacher Fan Weimin......"
"Teacher Fan, Mingzhu didn't come home from school, I want you to inquire when she left school today." Chen Miao knew that he shouldn't have made this call, but the matter was urgent, and he was helpless.
Because he is now basically sure that Liang Xueqin and Qiao'er have not returned to Tingxue Building, they must have fallen into Chen Mingchu's hands at this moment.
"Oh, I think about it, when I got out of school, I seemed to see her leaving with classmate Dong Tong."
"Thank you, Mr. Fan, I see." Chen Miao hung up the phone.
The phone calls he spoke with Lao Fan were all code words, "Mingzhu didn't go home" means that Liang Xueqin had an accident, and "Leaving with Dong Tong" is the place where Lao Fan asked him to meet.
He knew that there was a "Dong Ji" Benbang restaurant, which was not far from Lao Fan's house, and Dong Tong was the daughter of the owner of the "Dong Ji" Benbang restaurant and a student in his class.
Chen Miao boarded the last tram.
……
"How many of you, sir?" As soon as he stepped into the "Dong Ji" Benbang restaurant, a guy greeted him warmly and greeted him.
"Is Teacher Fan here?"
"Oh, it turns out that you are a guest of Teacher Fan, you come with me." The guy seemed to have been instructed a long time ago, and as soon as he heard Chen Miao mention "Teacher Fan", he immediately led the way in front.
went up to the second floor, a small private room, Fan Weimin was already sitting inside, looking at the cigarette butts of the ashtray in front of him, he had been here for a while.
"Here, Xiao Nan, let's serve the food." Lao Fan greeted the guy, obviously he knew him.
"Old Fan, it's really not easy to eat your meal." Chen Miao smiled, put the umbrella on the base of the wall, walked over and sat down and said.
"I'm not like you, a poor teacher, how can I have spare money to go to the restaurant, you still pay for today's meal." Lao Fan snorted, "You are a bad rule, why did you suddenly call me?" ”
"Old Fan, I said when can you change the problem of your iron rooster, we have known each other for so many years, how many times have you invited me to dinner, and I have counted them on one hand, and I pay the bill every time?" Chen Miao was really speechless for Lao Fan's unscathing character.
"My salary, except for living expenses, was handed over to the organization." Old Fan said.
"It seems that I haven't paid party dues to the party organization over the years, why compare the two and see who pays more?" Chen Miao glanced at the other party.
"Seriously, what's the matter with Miss Liang?" Old Fan Zhengse asked.
Chen Miao explained to Lao Fan what happened in Huiquan Building and what he analyzed.
"Seriously?"
"Fortunately, it didn't fall into the hands of Yuan Jie, otherwise, it would be troublesome, Chen Mingchu's target is me, and he won't attack Xueqin for the time being." Chen Miao said with a worried face, "But it's hard to say after a long time, who are the people in No. 76, especially that Ding Mohan, if this is crooked, I really can't guarantee it." ”
"After all, Miss Liang is a famous character in Shanghai Tang's bomb evaluation, Ding Mohan dares to risk this big disapproval?"
"These people don't even recognize their ancestors, what else can't they do?" Chen Miao said, "So, I plan to take the initiative." ”
"What's the attack?"
"Chen Mingchu arrested Liang Xueqin, the purpose was to force me to show up, and then use this threat to pull me into the water, so I will get off the donkey and break into the Longtan tiger's den of No. 76." Chen Miao said.
"Even if you get into No. 76, it's not easy to gain their trust?" Lao Fan frowned.
"I have a cipher machine as a bargaining chip."
"What, you're going to hand over the cipher machine to Number 76?" Lao Fan was anxious when he heard this, "No, this is absolutely not good, you know, this thing is also urgently needed at home?" ”
"As long as this thing has components, I will make you as much as you want." Chen Miao grinned.
"Can you build it?" Old Fan's jaw was about to drop.
"Yes, actually, I have already made a replica of one, and the function is exactly the same as the original factory." Chen Miao explained, "But this thing, even if it is given to you, can you ship it out?" ”
When Lao Fan heard this, he glanced at Chen fiercely: "You kid, you said it earlier, it will make me worry in vain." ”
"I asked you out today, and I also want to tell you where the cipher machine is hidden, in case I ...... this time," Chen Miao said, "and the six gold bars that I plan to buy radio stations and weapons from the black market, I can't take care of this matter for the time being." ”
Lao Fan slammed the wine cup in his hand and said angrily: "What do you say, this is the task assigned to you by the organization, you haven't completed it yet, why do you say such frustrating words, explain the aftermath with me here, have you explained?" ”
"I won't say it, I won't say it, how about I punish myself?" Chen Miao picked up a wine cup, poured a glass of wine, and was about to reach out to serve it.
"You're not hurting, you can't drink this wine." Lao Fan grabbed Chen Miao and snatched the wine cup from his hand, "I drank this wine for you, and in the future, I will drink your celebration wine." ”
"In the future, we can't contact each other directly, it's too risky, Xiao Qi has been with me for seven or eight years, I plan to let him serve as the traffic officer between you and me, what do you think?"
"Xiao Qi, this child was picked up by you from the beggar's nest, there is no big problem in terms of trust, I think it's okay." Lao Fan thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's all I have to say, what else do you have to say?" Chen Miao said.
"Tell me about your plan first, I know what to expect." Lao Fan glared at Chen Miao, don't look at Chen Miao's timid and cautious appearance in the military command, he knows that this kid is not small, and he is very big.
"Yuan Jie, I plan to kidnap Yuan Jie." Chen Miao said, "Using Yuan Jie to negotiate conditions with Chen Mingchu, I must ensure Liang Xueqin's safety." ”
"You're still saying it's not selfish?"
"Old Fan, even if I'm a little selfish, it's not too much to do this, right?" Chen Miao spread his hands and said, "If Yuan Jie didn't have a puppet president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, would he dare to forcibly kidnap people in Huiquan Tower today?" ”
"His Lao Tzu is his Lao Tzu, he is him, just a playboy, and there are not many evil deeds, if it hurts people's lives, it will not be good." Lao Fan was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I understand that."
"Use Yuan Jie and Chen Mingchu to exchange Liang Xueqin, and then what?" Lao Fan asked.
"Then the military commander Shanghai will judge me to defect to the enemy with Chen Mingchu, and then chase me down, and I was forced to join No. 76 in desperation." Chen Miao said.
"Is this a bitter ploy you set up with Zheng Jiayuan?"
"Yes."
"But how did the military commander judge that you had betrayed, just because you kidnapped Yuan Jie and made a deal with Chen Mingchu?" Lao Fan asked.
"You forgot, the cipher machine I mentioned just now should be in the safe in Ding Mohan's office at this moment." Chen Miao explained.
"How do you know?"
"After Zheng Jiayuan retrieved the cipher machine, he sent it back to me." Chen Miao said, "Yesterday, Chen Mingchu took people to the Jockey Club, and with his ability, it was not difficult to find a cipher machine. ”
"It's dark under the lights?" Lao Fan understood that Chen Miao did not hide the cipher machine, but swaggered it in his office.
This cipher machine looks no different from an ordinary typewriter, and most people don't know what a cipher machine is, let alone recognize it.
"When are you going to do it, and do you need help?" Lao Fan asked.
"Tonight."
"Tonight?" Lao Fan was taken aback, "This is too hasty, right?" ”
"The more Xueqin stays in Chen Mingchu's hands, the more dangerous it is, I dragged her in, and I must ensure her safety." Chen Miao said, "She is different from us, she is just an ordinary person, and in the face of people like Chen Mingchu, she has no ability to resist at all." ”
"Sanshui, do you like Miss Liang?" Lao Fan looked at Chen Miao seriously and asked.
"It's a little bit." Chen Miao thought for a moment and nodded.
"You know, your identity, it's dangerous."
"I know, but sometimes there are things I can't control."
Lao Fan asked solemnly: "Your situation, I must report to my superiors, how far has you progressed?" ”
"Don't worry, I haven't picked it out yet." Chen Miao said.
"Did you not confess to her, or did she not mean that to you?"
"I don't dare."
"Although Miss Liang is an ordinary person, she is also a patriot who supports the Anti-Japanese War, I still understand this, the 'Student Association' has done several fundraisings, and she has donated money, but you must know that you are an underground party member, you must grasp the distance and proportion." Old Fan admonished.
"I know that if I enter No. 76 this time, I guess I won't have anything to do with her anymore." Chen Miao was silent for a while, and said a little sadly, "I understand her character, and she will never want to have anything to do with a traitor." ”
"Hey......" Lao Fan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Gone."
"I really don't need help?" Lao Fan stood up and asked.
"With Xiaoqi to help me, that's enough." Chen Miao smiled.
……
Number 76.
"Director Ding, I've invited Boss Qin back." Chen Mingchu personally came to Ding Mohan to report, he didn't dare to fake others for such a big matter.
"Did you really get people back?" Ding Mohan showed a hint of surprise, and at the same time, a blazing light flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, I will temporarily arrange it on the 10th and hand it over to Tan Wenbin to take care of, do you think there are any instructions?"
The No. 10 mentioned by Chen Mingchu is No. 10, Lane 95, Yidingpan Road, where the original 76 agent headquarters was located before it was established, and now it has become the headquarters of the No. 76 Action Corps.
This general captain Ling Zhijiang was still a military commander in the past, served as the head of the operation team of the Shanghai District of the military command, and was a master of action, and after defecting to No. 76, he was appointed as the chief of the action team.
Ling Zhijiang and Cao Lijun were originally equals, but Dai Yunong preferred Cao Lijun, there was a festival between the two, plus Ling was greedy for money and lived a luxurious life, and the little funds given by the military commander were not enough at all, so they were pulled into the water by Ding and Lin.
Ling Zhijiang was originally pulled into the water by Lin Shiqun, but after he entered No. 76, he found that Ding Mohan had only the power of life and death, and he was originally the grass on the wall, so he naturally leaned over.
Of course, Ling Zhijiang didn't completely listen to Ding Mohan, after all, Lin Shiqun also held the money bag of No. 76 in his hand.
"Section Chief Chen, don't neglect Boss Qin." Ding Mohan commanded.
"The humble position has been arranged to serve a special person, and the boss will not be wronged at all." How could Chen Mingchu not see this Ding Mohan's thoughts, but this Liang Xueqin has a strong temperament, but I am afraid it is not so easy.
What's more, once the news of Liang Xueqin's disappearance is exposed, it will definitely cause a lot of speculation from the outside world, although Yuan Jie can be blamed for the black pot, but Yuan Jie is not a fool, he knows that Liang Xueqin is not in his hands, then it is only on No. 76, that son's temper will definitely not give up.
"Director Ding, Yuan Gongzi is ......," Chen Mingchu whispered.
"It's okay, I'll call Chairman Yuan personally when the time comes, he can understand." Ding Mohan waved his hand.
"Director Ding comes forward, it will be much easier." Chen Mingchu breathed a sigh of relief.
