Lao Fan's private middle school is a private middle school, the original site of the school was in Nanshi, August 13 Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, the school building was destroyed in the war, and then the school was temporarily moved to the public concession of Difeng Road.

To the north of Maggie Road, it is connected to Difeng Road, because it belongs to different concessions, so it is obviously a road, but it has two names.

In order to facilitate his work, Lao Fan rented a house in Lane 446 of Difeng Road near the school, which was a tailor's shop downstairs facing the street near the alley.

The tailor's family of three lives downstairs, and he is still a helper tailor, but his craftsmanship can only be regarded as average, and the people who find him to make clothes are neighbors, and the price is acceptable.

The landlord is a woman, not very old, her husband used to be a petty official in the government, and when he was alive, he bought some properties, although he is gone now, but his wife and children live on the rent of the property he left behind, although he is not rich, but he is much better than most people.

The location where he and Chen Miao live is just one south and one north.

Chen Miao hadn't contacted him for three days, which in the past, Lao Fan wasn't worried at all, but now, he always had a feeling of restlessness.

In the past, Chen Miao did not have a special task, just to be silent, although he occasionally took the initiative to provide some information, but this was not a task assigned to him by his superiors.

Therefore, the danger is not great, and since the War of Resistance Against Japan, the guns have been unanimous to the outside world, although the military commanders' hatred and defense against the underground party have not decreased, and sometimes they even have black hands.

But this kind of friction is all in private, and each one relies on means, and naturally it can't be put on the table.

Entering No. 76 as a traitor to the military command is a good move, but it is also a dangerous move, and if you are not careful, you will have to worry about your life.

It is even more difficult for the Party to train a good underground worker, especially if he still works in the heart of his opponent.

If Chen Miao wasn't good enough and didn't have perseverance and willpower, he wouldn't be able to do this job.

If there is no news of Chen Miao, Lao Fan decided to go to Xiao Qi, since Chen Miao designated Xiao Qi as the traffic officer between them, then he must have a way to find out the news of Chen Miao.

"Teacher Fan, Teacher Fan ......"

"Who?" Lao Fan didn't sleep well all night, and suddenly heard a sound of slamming the door, and he sat up from the bed in fright, and his back was soaked.

When I touched my forehead, it was all sweat.

"Teacher Fan, it's me, Xiao Nan of 'Dong Ji'." A voice came through the door.

"Xiao Nan?" Lao Fan remembered, this is the voice of Xiao Nan of the "Dong Ji" restaurant, he has been to eat a few times, and it was this Xiao Nan who greeted him, so he is familiar, the young man is good, and he is very upright.

"Xiao Nan, how did you find me here?" Lao Fan was surprised, how did Xiao Nan know that he lived here, and he didn't tell him this address?

"Teacher Fan, I came to pay you back for the gentleman who had dinner with you that night." As soon as Xiao Nan met, he took out a stack of money.

"Pay back, what's the money?" Lao Fan couldn't help but be surprised, "What did you say was the gentleman who had dinner with me that night?" ”

"Just three days ago, you had dinner at our 'Dong Kee', have you forgotten?" Xiao Nan was surprised, "Teacher Fan, you really forgot, right?" ”

"No, I haven't forgotten, what money did you pay me back?" Lao Fan quickly came back to his senses and said.

"Oh, the gentleman didn't say anything, just said that I would return the money to you, but, a little more talkatively, this friend of yours seems to have encountered some trouble, and when I brought him food, he was forcibly searched." Xiao Nan Road.

"You were searched?" Lao Fan was startled, and the hairs on his back stood upside down, this shock, when had his heart been so stimulated.

Xiao Nan continued: "But they didn't find anything, I didn't have anything on me. ”

"Did the gentleman tell you to come and give me the money back?"

"Yes, but I don't know where you live, Teacher Fan, so I inquired with our young master and found out that you live here." Xiao Nan explained.

"Listen, Xiao Nan, you didn't tell your young master about coming to me to repay the money, did you?"

"Nope." Xiao Nan shook his head.

"This friend of mine may have encountered some trouble, he used to work in the Jockey Club, and he asked you to pay me back, in fact, he just wanted you to tell me his situation, what about you, if you don't want to cause trouble, it's better to rot this matter in your stomach, and don't mention it to anyone from now on, do you understand?" Lao Fan said seriously, "Also, you haven't been here today, if your young master asks, you say that the last time I had dinner, I left two books in the box, and you brought me books." ”

Xiao Nan nodded and said, "Xiao understands, I'm here to deliver books to you." ”

Lao Fan thought for a while, took down two books from the bookshelf at home and gave them to Xiao Nan and said, "Xiao Nan, you gave me these two books, it doesn't matter if you don't know words, as long as you recognize these two books." ”

"I recognize, Mr. Fan, don't worry, I remember." Although Xiao Nan is a young man in a hotel, he is not without social experience, and he knows that this world is chaotic, and he understands the truth that disaster comes from his mouth.

Seeing Xiao Nan away, Lao Fan was shocked into a cold sweat, went downstairs and washed his face with cold water, forcing himself to calm down, and then went upstairs and closed the doors and windows.

Chen Miao actually used such a risky way to get in touch with him, which shows that his situation is very bad, he must have been restricted from freedom, or all external communications are under surveillance.

This is most likely the number 76 testing him.

Unfolded the fiat money that Xiao Nan brought him, put it under the lamp and looked at it carefully, and then took it under his nose and sniffed it carefully, and finally, he suddenly remembered something, opened the drawer, and took out a bottle of cough potion.

He has tracheitis, coughs a lot, and always has a cough drop, which is a "cough pill", which has an ingredient in it that can be mixed with another chemical ingredient and can be changed into another color, which can be used for ciphered communication!

This potion has a very short duration of action, and it is extremely unstable, and it will completely volatilize after a long time, and there is no way to find out afterwards.

With the attitude of giving it a try, Lao Fan poured a little potion from the bottle, dipped it with a soft brush that had never been used, and smeared it on the banknote.

There are really words!

A line of light brown words reads: "Liang and I have been placed under house arrest, Lin Shiqun randomly clicked the mandarin duck spectrum, Liang didn't know, I was afraid of being confused, don't read it." ”

Lao Fan understood it all now.

There is no problem for Chen Miao to enter No. 76, but now the problem is that there is such a variable as Liang Xueqin, if Lin Shiqun really makes a mess of mandarin duck scores, it will be really troublesome.

It's not that Chen Miao can't fall in love or have a girlfriend, but he is not an ordinary person, but a Communist Party member with strict underground work discipline.

All his actions must be constrained by party discipline and the principles and discipline of underground work, and not be reckless.

It cannot be said that underground workers cannot have lovers, get married, or form their own families, and that is against human morality.

But this is a matter of different occasions.

Even if Chen Miao wants to marry Liang Xueqin, he must first apply to the organization and pass the organization's review before he can get married, otherwise this is a violation of discipline.

In particular, you can't cut it first and then play it.

What he is most worried about is this, Chen Miao has this consideration and cut off the relationship with Liang Xueqin, but now No. 76 seems to have figured this out and has to get them together.

It is nothing more than wanting to use Liang Xueqin to control Chen Miao.

Lao Fan knows Chen Miao, if Chen Miao is really obsessed with his children's private affairs, he and Liang Xueqin have been together for a long time, and they can't wait until now.

Of course, there is a ban on military command, and marriage is not allowed during the Anti-Japanese War, which is understandable, but the family rules of the military commander cannot prohibit people's innate emotions.

Abide by the ban and not get married, this is not difficult, but it is not close to women, let me ask the military commander, except for those rookies who have just entered the industry, how many can do it?

The most important thing is to find out the specific situation of Chen Miao and Liang Xueqin now.

Lao Fan thought about it carefully and decided to go to Xiao Qi immediately.

Xiao Qi didn't go to work during the day, and after Lao Fan hurriedly got out of class in the morning, he went directly to the alley where Xiao Qi lived, and after some searching, he finally found the house number that Chen Miao said.

If Xiao Qi is okay after work, he goes home to sleep, and usually rarely goes out.

When Lao Fan came, Xiao Qi was sleeping at home with the door locked, and was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door, he got up in a hurry, and easily copied a short blade with a length of one foot from under the pillow.

This is made by him with a scrapped paper cutter, and with that knife, hundreds of newsprints will be cut neatly in an instant, which is visibly sharp.

This knife is used by Xiao Qi for self-defense at home, under the pillow when he sleeps, and hidden in the dark pavilion under the bed when he goes to work.

The knife was blood-dripping.

"Who?" Xiao Qi didn't have any friends, so there were few people to come and go, and Chen Miao's method of knocking on the door was regular, and he could hear it with one ear.

"Xiao Qi, your cousin 'Fang Yun' asked me to come to you." Lao Fan said his identity when he contacted him.

Xiao Qi put the short blade behind him and walked over to open the door. "Fang Yun" is Chen Miao's pseudonym, Xiao Qi naturally knows that those who can say this name naturally know Chen Miao.

"It's you, I've seen you?" As soon as Xiao Qi opened the door and saw Lao Fan, he didn't seem to be too surprised.

Lao Fan actually knew Xiao Qi, but it was the first time that the two of them faced each other alone, because of the need for confidential work, Chen Miao couldn't tell Xiao Qi Lao Fan's identity, and naturally he couldn't let Xiao Qi meet Lao Fan.

However, there were times when Chen Miao met with Lao Fan and needed Xiao Qi's help to cover up, so although the two had not met directly, they were sure that they had met each other.

Xiao Qi has a very good memory and never forgets it, so he can recognize Lao Fan at a glance.

Seeing that Xiao Qi was still hiding a sharp blade in his left hand behind him, he was also quite surprised, and he didn't know how Chen Miao taught it, this kid's vigilance was so high.
