Although the night market was lively, it was not big, He Qixin searched around and found nothing, and when he returned to the top of the shaft, he saw Ni Xin patiently interrogating the nearby vendors one by one: "Did you see a person coming out of here before us?" ”

The stall owner's head shook like a rattle: "I don't know, I don't see it." ”

Ni Xin asked another stall owner next door: "Boss, did you see a person ...... before us?"

Before Ni Xin finished speaking, the man waved his hand again and again: "I don't know, I didn't see anything." ”

The entrance and exit of the night market have already begun to be noisy.

At this time, Mao Jun ran over panting: "Director Ni, my subordinates have contacted Captain Qian, he ordered some people to get down the underground pipeline, and brought another part of the people to come in three cars." ”

Qian Mingqi soon arrived, and Ni Xin ordered: "Captain Qian, do you see the restaurant across the road from the exit of the night market?" You order two of your subordinates to be requisitioned temporarily. Then he pointed to a few street vendors around him: "Bring these people over, I will interrogate." ”

Qian Mingqi replied: "Yes." ”

Ni Xin's words were gentle and his demeanor was elegant, and several street vendors who had dealt with him were not afraid, and protested one after another: "Who are you? Why take us away? ”

"That is, we paid the booth fee, who is the one who can't do the business?"

"I'm not going, I've said it: I don't see anything."

Qian Mingqi had a blank face, and fired two shots at the feet of the most fierce stall owner! Bullets hit the asphalt and sparks fly! said angrily: "Just rely on this, can it work?" Question No. 76, whoever dares not to cooperate will be killed! ”

It turned out to be number 76! Everyone was frightened, dumbfounded, and honestly followed Qian Mingqi to the hotel.

Ni Xin said again: "Director Mao, send someone to the underground pipeline to call all the people up, you lead a team to investigate the scene, continue to search the night market, without me, no one is allowed to enter or leave the night market." ”

Walking into the hotel, Ni Xin picked up the phone: "I'm Ni Xin, Siwen, is the general there?" ”

"The general is in your office at No. 76, and ordered me to take the special team over to assist in the defense."

Ni Xin replied: "Give you an address, arrest Gan Min, and then hand it over to the general for disposal." "Zhou Chengbin absconded, and it was useless to keep Gan Min's line.

"I see, I'll do it."

Putting down the phone, Qian Mingqi set up a set of tables and chairs in the private room, invited Ni Xin to sit down, stood aside by himself, and ordered his subordinates to escort in a stall owner.

Ni Xin asked: "Tell me about the situation at that time, where did the person who came up before us in the shaft go?" ”

The stall owner replied, "It seems that a man came up, and then a three-wheeled car came, and I was busy with business, and when I looked up again, the person was gone." Sir, you have to trust me. ”

"What does a tricycle driver look like? What are the characteristics of a tricycle? ”

"Sir, I really don't know."

"Have you seen this three-wheeled vehicle come in and out of here before?"

"Back to the sir's words: I'm not impressed."

"Captain Qian, take him out first. Call another person in. ”

One of the stall owners was brought in, and the wall separating the private room from the hall was only more than one person high, and he heard the words of the neighboring stall owner, and took the initiative to say: "There is such a person, quite tall, by the way, he is injured, bleeding, I am frightened." A three-wheeler, with no passengers on it, the driver said something to him, helped the man onto the three-wheeler, and left. ”

Ni Xin said again: "Tell me about the tricycle and the driver." ”

"It's the most common tricycle, the driver? It's also an ordinary coachman, wearing a number. ”

I asked a few more stall owners, and the rhetoric was much the same. Ni Xin said secretly: Judging from the bloodstains left at the scene, Zhou Chengbin was seriously injured, but the range of bloodstains was only about one square meter, so it can be seen that Zhou Chengbin was immediately on three rounds. Where did this tricycle come from? Did the military commander arrange the response in advance? No, if this were the case, Zhou Chengbin would have come out of the shaft a long time ago, instead of waiting for it to get out after it was dark, so that he could get out. If it was just an ordinary driver passing by, how could he let him get into the car so easily when he saw Zhou Chengbin, who was covered in blood?

Ni Xin didn't say anything, and the stall owner who was interrogated stood in front of Ni Xin, not knowing what the person in front of him would do with him, he couldn't help but tremble his legs, and stammered: "Sir, I said everything I saw, it's just a person, big and tall, the coachman got out of the car, half helped and half hugged, and then left." ”

"So the driver took the initiative to let that person get into the car?"

The stall owner thought for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

Ni Xin ordered: "Captain Qian, let everyone go." ”

"Yes."

Several stall owners were granted amnesty and left with a thousand thanks.

Mao Jun walked in and reported: "Director Ni, his subordinates searched the secret room where Zhou Chengbin was hiding, it should have been built half a year ago, and there are no other valuable clues. ”

He Qixin also came to report: "The subordinates carefully searched the entire night market, and found no suspicious people, the night market was too chaotic, and no one remembered the number of the three-wheeled car." ”

Ni Xin had no choice but to order: "Captain Qian, you and the people of the action team are deployed around, and if you find anything, report to me immediately." Where is the chief, Director Mao, lead the team back to No. 76. ”

Back at No. 76, in the parking lot, Yu Siwen escorted Gan Min to the first step. Yu Siwen stepped forward and said excitedly: "Director Ni, someone has been arrested, and there is a radio station, this person resisted arrest with a gun and injured one of my subordinates, he is a good man, he is a big fish!" ”

Ni Xin smiled bitterly: "Big fish? He's a little shrimp at best, and the real big fish is running right under my nose! ”

"Who?"

"Zhou Chengbin."

Yu Siwen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but complain: "Zhou Chengbin? Did you find him? Why did you let him run away again? What is number 76 for? I mean...... Why didn't you tell me? If I go out ......" Seeing that Ni Xin's face was different, Yu Siwen stopped at the right time and explained: "Ni Xin, I mean, Zhou Chengbin is really difficult to deal with, if I knew in advance, maybe I could help you...... Don't mind. ”

Ni Xin smiled bitterly and patted Yu Siwen's shoulder: "Between you and me, there is no need to be so polite, you are right, I am really useless." Someone came, took the prisoner to the cell, and sent someone to find Xie Wei back. Siwen, you and I will go and meet the general. ”

After listening to Ni Xin's report, Ono Heiichiro sighed: "Once again, I fell short...... Ni Sang, when Xie Wei comes back, the interrogation will start immediately. ”

At half past seven o'clock in the evening of the same day, in the military command base area, Sun Dongsheng and Feng Gensheng were discussing their work: "When Deputy Director Zhang comes back from Liao Taohe's department, ask him to immediately apply for a batch of funds from Director Zhou, the third column has expanded to more than 700 people, and the supplies can't keep up." ”

"Funding is a top priority, but what can Director Zhou do - come in!"

Xiao Kong sent a telegram, and Sun Dongsheng frowned after reading it: "Ge Jiapeng sent it, Lao Feng, you can also take a look." ”

"Lao Ge took the risk to warn? He also said that he ordered Lin Shirong to take the risk of pretending to pass by the bakery, and saw the warning sign left by Director Zhou, it seems that something is indeed wrong, why did the contact station that was just opened have an accident? ”

"I don't know, I have to report to Deputy Director Zhang immediately."

Feng Gensheng nodded and said, "I'll go and send a report to Deputy Director Zhang." Dongsheng, do you need to report to the bureau headquarters at the same time? ”

"You and I, Ge Jiapeng do not have the right to skip the level of contact, according to discipline: it is determined that Director Zhou has an accident, and Ge Jiapeng is automatically substituted to manage the hidden agents of the Shanghai Branch; It is determined that something has happened to Deputy Director Zhang, and I will automatically take over the leadership of the third column, and you will be responsible for the work of the base area. Then you and I and Ge Jiapeng can contact the bureau headquarters directly. ”

"Has Ge Jiapeng transferred?"

Of course, he transferred with Lin Shirong after sending this telegram. The problem now is that there is an action group directly under the leadership of Director Zhou that has just been formed, and the three members are all senior operation agents who have just been transferred from Chongqing, except for Director Zhou, only Ai Gaowen can contact them. ”

Feng Gensheng asked worriedly, "What should I do then?" Does Deputy Director Zhang know? ”

"I don't know, Lao Feng, you immediately send a telegram to Deputy Director Zhang to report the situation."

Feng Gensheng nodded and left, and quickly went back and forth: "Dongsheng, the telecommunications room has received an urgent telegram that must be deciphered by you personally. ”

Sun Dongsheng took out the codebook that he didn't leave for a moment, and after deciphering it, his face became even more solemn: "Lao Feng, the situation is urgent, there is something I have privately decided to let you know: this secret telegram was sent by Liao Tao and Li Yi, the commander of the third battalion of the ministry - he is a person from the military commander, codenamed Sabre - Deputy Director Zhang discussed with Liao Tao at the regiment headquarters anyway, and the secret was leaked, and it was discovered by the working group stationed in the regiment by Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and the two sides fought. ”

Feng Gensheng was taken aback: "What working group?" Why haven't you heard of it before? ”

"After Su Dongran's department was anyway, before Ying Zuozhen Zhao went to Changde, he sent a working group to each regiment of the Peace Salvation Army under the Wang puppet government, there were about more than 100 of them, I thought that most of these people were not professional agents, and they were just cramming for ...... temporary, who knows."

"What is the result of the fire?"

"There are only five or six people in these working groups, if Liao Tao and the two don't help, Deputy Director Zhang and Qiao Wenrong, Cui Feng, Chen Ming and others will naturally not be able to clean up these people......"

"You mean Liao Tao and ...... That's right, he hasn't done it anyway, how is Deputy Director Zhang? ”

Sun Dongsheng was worried: "The current situation is unknown, Li Yi is just a battalion commander, and he must also try to inquire about the regiment headquarters to know." Deputy Director Zhang brought Liao Taohe to one of his subordinates, Liao Kanghe, who is Liao Taohe's younger brother...... The 79th Regiment of the 47th Division fought with the military commander, and Director Zhou almost died in the hands of Liao Taohe. ”

"Even so, he can't care about his brother's life, right?"

"It's hard to say, if Liao Taohe doesn't hand over Deputy Director Zhang and his party, I'm worried that the Japanese will soon order other troops to move closer to the 79th Regiment, and order Liao Taohe and other officers to go to Nanjing for interrogation."

Feng Gensheng said: "Even if Liao Taohe doesn't care about his brother's life, he hands over Deputy Director Zhang to the Japanese, can the military commander let him go?" Don't forget that his daughter is still in Chongqing. Lao Sun, do you think it is possible that this incident will force Liao Tao and Rong to start an accident in advance? ”

"It's unlikely, so how easy is it to start something early? The receiving troops had not yet arrived, and had all the officers in the regiment loyal to the Japanese been brought under control? Brother, daughter? For some, these can be discarded...... What's more, Liao Tao and Zhen handed over Deputy Director Zhang to the Japanese in order to protect themselves, what can the military commander do with a child who is less than ten years old? ”

"Yes, if Liao Kanghe and Deputy Director Zhang died at the hands of the Japanese, speaking of which, this child is Liao Kanghe's adopted daughter, and he can be regarded as a martyr's orphan...... Lao Sun, what do you say you should do? ”

Sun Dongsheng sighed: "I don't know, it would be nice if we had an undercover agent who could access secrets in the Japanese puppet agency in Songhu, Liu Zezhi's exposure would be too great...... Wait a little longer, at least until further news from Saber Li Yi. ”
