"How's it going, huh?" Tang Keming didn't leave, he was sitting at the door, and when he saw Chen Miao coming out of the ward, he stood up and greeted him.

"Is there any smoke?" Chen Miao stretched out two fingers and asked.

Tang Keming reached out and touched his pocket, took out an empty cigarette box when he pulled it around, and turned around: "You guys, who has cigarettes?" ”

"Seat, I have it here?" A spy of the Investigation Group of the Intelligence Department handed over half a pack of three forts, which were crumpled, and at a glance he knew that he was usually reluctant to smoke them, so he specially took them out to honor his commander.

"This kid is very smart, he knows that Zhang Lu is dead, and he immediately sees the wind and rudder, and plans to come to our side." Chen Miao lit a cigarette, took a puff and said.

"I can see that this surnamed Wan is a ruthless character and has ability, but this kind of person is ambitious and not easy to control." Tang Keming nodded.

"If you are ambitious, you are not afraid, but what you are afraid of is to climb up by any means." Chen Miao nodded, "What instructions does the director have?" ”

"Director Aicai, it's not that you don't know this, Wan Shenghe can be valued by Lao Ding, that must have some ability, but whoever has the ability, he wants to take it under his command." Tang Keming said.

"Since the director wants to take people in, why did he call me over?" Chen Miao said.

"Aren't you short of people there, besides, who can hold down this Wansheng and except for you?" Tang Keming smiled and complimented.

"Come less, even if Wan Shenghe is a tiger, when it comes to our 76th, he has to hold on to it." Chen Miao snorted, "This guy can't stay in the hospital to recuperate, we have to find him a safe place." ”

"Yes, Brother Sanshui, if you speak, how can I not do it, brother?" Tang Keming smiled, "The Yangtze River Company has a warehouse on the bank of the Suzhou Creek, and there are usually no people who go there, but the warehouse is a distant relative of mine, which is quiet and suitable for recuperation, how about arranging people to go there?" ”

"Well, that's good." Chen Miao nodded.

……

"Brother, find a place to eat at night, I'll call the old man and them?" Tang Keming caught up with Chen Miao and asked.

"Not tonight, I haven't been back to eat for a few days, if I don't go back, Xueqin should be angry, how about tomorrow night?" Chen Miao declined.

"Tomorrow night, tomorrow night, then we can make up our minds, don't let me pigeon?"

"Okay."

The real situation is that he made an appointment with Lao Fan to talk about things, and there are no special circumstances, so he can't miss the appointment.

Yuyuan Road, Yuhuo Tavern.

Chen Miao changed into an old cotton robe, her face became sallow, her beard was stained, and her sideburns were also slightly treated, all of which were done in Xiao Qi's original residence.

The place where Xiao Qi used to live is now a safe house.

It was cold, there were a lot fewer people coming out to eat in the evening, and the business of this tavern was a little worse than in the past, but it still maintained a three- or four-percent attendance rate.

This time, Chen Miao came early, he first asked people to scald a pot of wine, and asked for a plate of drunkard peanuts, fennel beans and other side dishes, and waited while drinking alone.

About ten minutes later, Lao Fan wore a linoleum hat, pushed open the door, came in from the outside with his hands folded, and saw Chen Miao sitting there pouring himself a drink, the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning, and he raised his feet and walked over.

A fart. Gu sat down opposite Chen Miao, reached out and grabbed two peanuts directly into the plate and threw them in his mouth, and then unceremoniously picked up Chen Miao's wine glass, took a sip of hot rice wine, "coo", and drank it all in one go.

"Boss, cut half a catty of pig's head meat, half a catty of mutton, and then burn a pot of haggis soup and send it up!" When Chen Miao saw this scene, she could only smile bitterly, stretched out her hand to summon his buddy, and gave an order.

"Come on, wait a minute, I'll be right here." The guy said yes and went to the kitchen to inform.

"Wine, wine, another pot!" When Lao Fan heard this, he chased after the guy and added.

The guy glanced at Chen Miao, because he looked at Lao Fan, and he didn't look like he had money to pay the bills, this hot wine can't be sold, so he can only count it as his own.

Chen Miao nodded.

Guy Mariel's went down.

"Not long ago, Zhu Shaoliang, commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, attacked the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region and occupied I-Ning County, Zhenyuan, and other places, and the troops left behind in our border region dealt a head-on blow. Lao Fan said angrily.

"What is the attitude at home?"

"Expose the Kuomintang's passive anti-Japanese and positive anti-Japanese to the outside world. However, all units are required to exercise relative restraint and prevent the situation from being exaggerated. ”

"There is no element of Japanese instigation in this?"

"It's not clear now, but if Chongqing doesn't have this idea, it's useless for the Japanese to provoke it." Lao Fan said, "What news do you have?" ”

"I've heard some gossip, but I haven't verified it."

"What's the news?"

"Old Fan, you know, this unverified news, how dare I report it to my hometown indiscriminately?" Chen Miao said solemnly, if this is misleading, I can't afford to take this responsibility.

"You tell me, what's the matter?"

"Well, I heard that some people from the Japanese military department are secretly in contact with Chongqing in Hong Kong...... Chen Miao said in a low voice.

"Is this related to the recent provocation by the Kuomintang against our anti-Japanese base areas?"

"I can't say, but the Japanese may have political reasons for doing this, first, Wang's influence has not met their expectations, Wang's government wants to open, so far, there is no result, second, Japan also wants to end the war in China, but their goal is to hope to force Chongqing to surrender in a bloodless way, that is, to force Chongqing to surrender, and third, to put pressure on Wang, to force Wang to make greater concessions to Japan in negotiations......" Chen Miao analyzed.

"Well, that makes sense." Lao Fan said, "How much do you know about Wang's secret negotiations with the Japanese side?" ”

"In this regard, it is difficult for me to inquire, after all, with my current position, it is difficult to touch such high-end secrets, and the specifications of secret talks are so high, and the secrecy is so strict, which is beyond imagination." Chen Miao said, "Perhaps, there is more news from Xilin Longfu than we do. ”

"Well, I don't put pressure on you in this regard, you just do your best." Old Fan nodded.

"I see." Chen Miao nodded and said, "By the way, 'Queen' gave me an order to keep an eye on the daily schedule of Gao Zongwu and Tao Yuansheng, and I judge that the Chongqing side is also trying to get started with the people who participated in the secret negotiations of the Wang family." ”

"Assassination?"

"At first, I also thought it was an assassination, but then I carefully analyzed the past actions of 'Queen' and found that there were not many assassinations or assassinations in her field, so I judged that she might want to open a gap from these two people and learn about Wang's secret talks with the Japanese side." Chen Miao said, "At the same time, she should also be testing me, testing my loyalty to the military commander and my ability to do things." ”

"And what are you going to do?" Lao Fan asked.

"I haven't found a relationship channel on my side, but I plan to let Xiao Qi follow and monitor for a period of time to see if I can grasp the rules of the two people's itinerary, if not, I will think of other ways." Chen Miao said.

"What's going on with the Radio Detection Unit at 76?"

"Although I have been paying attention to this aspect, Lin Shiqun doesn't seem to let me touch this piece, the electronic investigation and decipherment department is a White Russian woman named Jin Nina is in charge, this woman has something to do with Ying Zuo, and she also has a certain right to speak in No. 76, Jin Kang, director of the Electric Affairs Department, turned out to be the backbone of the military command's telecommunications, after falling into the water, he became the vanguard of the No. 76 crackdown on the latent radio station in East China of the military commander, and Yu Jie, the deputy director......" Chen Miao explained while analyzing.

The headquarters of the No. 76 secret service is located in Shanghai, but the telecommunications office is located in Nanjing, and there is only one branch station in Shanghai, and Chen Miao has never met this director Jin several times in total.

"Recently, there have been some suspicious people near our secret radio station, but the people in that area are mixed up, and they may not be aimed at us." Old Fan said.

"Need a change of place?"

"I'll handle this, you don't care, as long as it's not aimed at us." Old Fan said.

"What do you need me to do, you can just find Xiao Qi directly, if he can't do it, he will naturally tell me." Chen Miao reminded.

"Sir, the haggis soup you wanted."

"Lao Fan, taste, this winter, come to a bowl of haggis soup, it is a delicacy in the world." Chen Miao stretched out her hand and gave Lao Fan a bowl of haggis soup.

"Thank you." Lao Fan picked up the bowl and drank it with a bang, his appearance of eating was exactly the same as the Liba outside.

"Don't worry, there's a big cauldron......

"I'm different from you, I'm tired of eating big fish and meat every day, I'm tofu and vegetables every day, and I finally have a chance to fight my teeth, I don't have a good meal, I'm sorry for my self-sufficiency." Lao Fan's mouth was full of oil.

When Chen Miao saw him like this, she could only smile bitterly: "Or, I'm asking the boss to make a copy and let you pack it back?" ”

"No, if this is seen, where will I put my face?"

"I took the 'gust of wind', although this person is a bandit, but he still has a bottom line, I plan to change his identity, and then use Liang Xueqin as a bodyguard." Chen Miao said.

"Is this necessary?"

"I'm also on the blacklist in the military command now, and the Shanghai district wants to get rid of it quickly, the military commander does things, what is the trouble for his wife and children, they don't care, and in No. 76, Lin Shiqun doesn't want me to mingle with everyone, the more I am isolated, the more dependent I am on him, and the easier it is to be controlled, so, just in case, I always have to take precautions." Chen Miao said.

"Aren't you afraid that Lin Shiqun will doubt you?"

"What does he suspect about me, I will find a few bodyguards for my wife, what's wrong with this, his wife Ye Yuru goes out, isn't there seven or eight bodyguards following?" Chen Miao said, "Liang Xueqin was kidnapped once, and he did it by his own people, what reason does he have to suspect that I did this?" ”

"But is this 'gust of wind' the right person?"

"I don't need to hide this from him, and even if he knows, he won't say anything." Chen Miao said confidently.

"You can grasp this yourself, by the way, Comrade Lan Liying's funeral has basically been completed, and the cotton clothes, quilts and other materials she finally donated to the troops have also been transported to our base through secret channels." Old Fan said.

"Where is Comrade Lan Liying buried?"

"...... in the Western Suburbs"

"I know, next year's Qingming Festival, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to her grave." Chen Miao said with some sadness.

"Sanshui, since we have decided to fight for the cause of communism for life, we are ready to sacrifice at any time, although Comrade Lan Liying has sacrificed, but her indomitable fighting spirit will inspire us to move forward, defeat the Japanese invaders, and establish a new China!" Lao Fan suppressed this emotion and said excitedly.

"I understand, Lao Fan, don't worry, I have never changed this original intention." Chen Miao picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

……

"Third brother, didn't you say you wouldn't come back tonight?"

Qiao'er opened the door, and Liang Xueqin welcomed Chen Miao in surprise.

"I've had a little drink with my friends, and if anyone asks, you'll say I'm at home tonight with you." Chen Miao explained with a smile.

Liang Xueqin nodded.

"Qiao'er, go cook a bowl of decanting soup for the third brother?"

"No need, Qiao'er, I'll sit for a while and leave, besides, I haven't drunk much." Chen Miao hurriedly shook his hand and stopped, "I just stopped by to see you." ”

"It's freezing, it's too dangerous for you to go back alone, why don't you just stay here for one night?" Liang Xueqin said.

"Isn't this okay, we're not officially married yet?"

"Where do you want to go, Qiao'er used to sleep in the study, tonight she slept with me, you slept in the study." Liang Xueqin's cheeks flushed.

"It's fine." Chen Miao thought for a while, it was indeed not safe to go back alone, but if he was accompanied by Xiao Qi, he would not be afraid.

"By the way, at dinner in the evening, someone called and looked for you, and I said that you haven't come back yet, and he didn't say anything, so he hung up the phone."

"Who called you to find me?" Chen Miao was very strange.

"Although he didn't tell me who he was, I heard that it was the one who arrested me in the first place, surnamed Chen." Liang Xueqin said.

"Chen Mingchu?"

"Yes, that's him."

Chen Mingchu actually called Liang Xueqin's side, it was obvious that this was a private matter to tell him, if it was a business matter, he could call No. 76.

As for the phone number of Maggie's apartment, not many people know about it, and Chen Mingchu is one of them.

"Didn't he say when he would call again?" Chen Miao asked.

Liang Xueqin shook her head.

Chen Miao looked at the time of the clock on the wall, it was not long after eight o'clock, if there was really an emergency, he should call again.

"When did the call come from?"

"About half-past six."

"It's been an hour and a half, if you want to call, you should call......" Chen Miao just muttered, and the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

Chen Miao gave a look, Liang Xueqin stood up and walked over, and picked up the phone: "Hey,...... Okay, you wait. ”

"Is that him?" Chen Miao blinked at Liang Xueqin.

Liang Xueqin nodded and handed the phone receiver to Chen Miao.
