At the same time, Ning Zhiheng was practicing calligraphy in his study without distractions, indulging in pen and ink.

Yi Huaan knocked on the door and put a few newspapers from the day that he had just bought on the coffee table beside him.

Then he came to take the tea canister lightly, scooped the tea leaves with a mahogany spoon and put them into the bowl, poured them with the hot water in the pot next to them, and a stream of air carried the tea fragrance to rise, and poured hot water again.

After a while, Ning Zhiheng slowly wrote down the last stroke, then put down the pen in his hand, turned around and sat down on the sofa, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, then picked up a newspaper from the coffee table and watched it.

No matter where he goes, he has the habit of reading newspapers every day, usually newspapers with large local circulation and influence, he will review them, and from the content of the newspapers can analyze a lot of hidden information, which is the fastest and most effective way to understand the local situation and the current situation.

At this time in Nanjing, the Japanese and the Nanjing puppet government strengthened the control of publishing and cultural undertakings, and public opinion and propaganda were under strict control, and there were not many newspapers that could be distributed in Nanjing, basically all of them were official newspapers, such as the "United Times" and "China Daily", all of which were the mouthpieces of the Nanjing government and the Japanese, prohibiting any anti-Japanese and offensive content against the puppet government.

Ning Zhiheng read the newspaper quickly, it didn't take long to finish reading a copy of "China Daily", put it aside and picked up a copy of "New Nanjing Daily", didn't read it for a while, suddenly, his eyes were fixed, and in the miscellaneous column of this newspaper, there was a paragraph that immediately caught his attention.

This is a missing person notice, the content of the search is, looking for cousin Wang Yongchang, the following is the appearance characteristics of the person being searched, and finally left contact information.

The reason why Ning Zhiheng was surprised was because he was too familiar with the content of this missing person notice!

This was agreed upon on the information given to the farmers when I contacted the Shanghai underground party organization on the first few occasions, and the Shanghai underground party organization gave me a signal reply.

The first time was when Sun Xiangde, a special agent of the Central Union, was arrested by the No. 76 agent headquarters, and he reported to the farmer himself, asking for confirmation of his identity, or he personally drafted the content of the missing person notice.

The second time was when Fan Zhongfu was arrested, and he also warned the organization and asked to confirm his identity, and later confirmed that he was a member of the underground party organization through this missing person notice, and organized a rescue by himself, but unfortunately it was not successful in the end.

The content of these two missing person notices is exactly the same as the content published in today's newspaper, the difference is that the previous two times were in Shanghai, and this time they actually appeared in the newspaper published in Nanjing.

Ning Zhiheng thought quickly in his mind, first of all, the content of the missing person notice is so similar, and the content is almost word for word, this is no coincidence, it must be the handiwork of the Shanghai underground party organization.

The content of this missing person notice is set by itself, and only he knows it, and the purpose of the underground party organization in doing this can only be to summon itself.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but be a little strange, his contact with the farmer has always been one-line and one-way, unless there is major information, he will take the initiative to contact, the underground party organization has never issued a summons, what is the reason for this time?

Ning Zhiheng picked up several other newspapers, and after careful searching, sure enough, there was also such a missing person notice with the same content published in one newspaper.

The organization must have something important and was eager to communicate with itself, but it couldn't find itself for a while, so it simply used this way to inform itself, it seems that the warning he gave to Cheng Xingye in Nanjing alarmed the organization, so he knew that he was not in Shanghai, so he sent someone to publish a search notice in Nanjing's major newspapers to try to contact him.

It must be so!

Ning Zhiheng quickly made a judgment, but what major thing happened that made the underground party organization so urgent?

Ning Zhiheng faintly felt that it was very likely that it was the consequence of his direct contact with Cheng Xingye in Nanjing this time, it seemed that what he did was indeed a bit reckless, and he had to contact the farmer as soon as possible, and the schedule of returning to Shanghai could not be postponed any longer.

In the past few days since he came to Nanjing, his work has been largely completed, Takasugi Renxi's case has also come to an end, and there is no major problem at present, and there is also the Nanjing Station of the Military Command, as long as the news from the Chongqing headquarters is transmitted in a timely manner, it can completely escape the catastrophe, and as for the future, they can only ask for more blessings for themselves.

As for the personnel of the intelligence department who remained in Nanjing, they are all in charge of the intelligence team leader Kang Xuezhi, who has strong work ability, is cautious, and has made some secret arrangements of his own, so there is no problem in terms of safety, and it is time to return to Shanghai.

Thinking of this, he called Yi Huaan in and ordered: "Go and book tomorrow's train tickets immediately, and we will go back to Shanghai as soon as possible!" ”

Ning Zhiheng's words made Yi Huaan stunned, he thought that Ning Zhiheng would stay in Nanjing for at least a few days, why did he suddenly rush back to Shanghai in such a hurry? However, he won't ask more, he has followed Ning Zhiheng for so long, he naturally knows, what he needs to know, Ning Zhiheng will naturally tell him, what he doesn't need to know, and he can't ask more.

Ning Zhiheng thought about it, when he left Nanjing, he had to say hello to Uehara Junpei, but fortunately, he had already mentioned to Uehara Junpei before that he would return to Shanghai in the near future, and it was not too abrupt to propose it now.

At noon, Ning Zhiheng went to resign to Uehara Junpei, who knew that his business was in Shanghai, and it was impossible for him to stay in Nanjing for too long, so he was not surprised.

The next morning, Ning Zhiheng and his entourage boarded the train to the east, without saying anything all the way, and arrived in Shanghai at about four o'clock in the afternoon.

During this trip to Nanjing, he stayed in Nanjing for a month, experienced a lot of turmoil, and even almost died at the hands of the Japanese rebels, and finally came back safely.

The first thing he did when he returned to Shanghai, Ning Zhiheng asked Yi Huaan to collect the newspapers issued in Shanghai in the past two days, and after careful searching, he found that in the "Hujiang Xinbao", yesterday's and today's newspapers, there were notices of missing people with the same content, and it should be that the underground party organization could not figure out his whereabouts, so he published newspapers in Shanghai and Nanjing at the same time to look for himself.

"What the hell is going on?"

Ning Zhiheng secretly guessed in his heart, couldn't help but be a little apprehensive, waited until late at night, and came to the back door of the Qingshi Tea House again.

In the darkness, he knocked on the door rhythmically, leaned over the door frame and heard the footsteps in the room, put down the suitcase in his hand, turned and retreated to the corner.

Soon the lights in the room turned on, the door opened from the inside, Xia Deyan walked out of the house, as before, he came to the door, and used the light in the room to make sure that the shadow was correct, and then put a briefcase on the ground at the door, then lifted the suitcase and returned to the house, then turned off the light, and the darkness returned to the surroundings.

Sure enough, it was different from before, Ning Zhiheng quietly watched Xia Deyan's actions, and as he had guessed before, this time the party organization gave him the news.

Ning Zhiheng's figure moved, and he walked out of the corner, taking a few steps in succession, his movements were light and his body was agile, just like a tanuki walking in the dark, without making any sound.

When he came to the door, he stretched out his hand and swept quickly, picked up the briefcase on the ground, and quickly left, disappearing into the darkness.

After turning off the lights, Xia Deyan, who had been waiting quietly in the house, listened carefully to the movement outside the door, but to his surprise, the outside of the house had been quiet and there was no sound.

He couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, in the past few days, the organization published search notices in Shanghai and Nanjing newspapers, and he had been waiting for the shadow to appear, and sure enough, the shadow received the message, understood the meaning, and came to contact him.

And what he did just now should have fallen into the eyes of the shadow, at this time, the shadow should take the briefcase on the ground and complete the handover of the information, why has there been no movement until now.

Does the shadow still have any scruples? I have to say that compared with the shadow of his predecessor, this successor is too cautious.

After a long time, Xia Deyan finally couldn't help it, he got up and turned on the light in the room, and opened the back door again, but when he looked down, he found that the briefcase he had just put down was gone, and he didn't know when, it had been taken away by the shadow.

This shadow, hands and feet are so neat? He was guarding a door, close at hand, and he didn't hear a sound at all, Xia Deyan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, he still regretted more in his heart, after becoming the contact person of the shadow, the two of them had been in contact for so long, this was the first time in many years that he and the shadow were so close, but unfortunately he still had no chance to talk.

Xia Deyan returned to the room, locked the door, put the suitcase on the table, gently unfastened the leather buckle and opened it, it was still a box of brand-new dollars, and there was nothing else, which made him a little disappointed.

This time, Ning Zhiheng was just to respond to the call of the organization, and there was no important information transmission, so he didn't leave a word.

Back in his study, Ning Zhiheng opened the briefcase, which contained a small blue book and two pages of stationery, densely written with a lot of content.

Ning Zhiheng picked up the letter paper first and read it carefully, this was a handwritten letter from Xiucai, the head of the underground party organization in Shanghai.

Judging from the wording and font, the writing is exquisite, the handwriting is proper, and the show is powerful, and the academic quality of Xiucai himself should not be low, but it does not live up to the code name of Xiucai.

In the letter, he highly praised the outstanding contribution of the shadow to the organization for such a long time, and arranged the future work, decided to establish a dual contact channel, and introduced the way the channel operates in detail, and directly gave the call sign and wavelength of the contact, and the blue book is the code book.
