At five o'clock in the afternoon, it was raining in Shanghai, and a man holding a black oil-paper umbrella, wearing a navy blue suit and a semi-long coat of the same color got off the bus at the bus stop hundreds of meters away from No. 76, and walked towards the gate of No. 76 without hurrying.

Cui Feng stopped outside the yellow cordon at the gate, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs. The guards motioned for him to go to the communication room to register, and Cui Feng's voice was neither high nor low: "I have an appointment with Heiichiro Ono, please inform him: Cui Feng, the special envoy of the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command, has visited." ”

The guards could hardly believe their ears: military commanders?! The muzzles of the eight guards pointed at Cui Feng together!

Cui Feng stood there calmly, without saying a word.

In the transmission room, Qian Mingqi and Xie Wei, who were ordered to wait here, walked out, and Qian Mingqi stepped forward and said, "Mr. is here to visit General Ono, right?" What's your last name? ”

Cui Feng didn't answer Qian Mingqi, looked at Xie Wei fixedly, and said, "Xie Wei, don't come to harm?" ”

Xie Wei avoided his gaze and did not speak.

The atmosphere at the scene was strange and silent, and all I could hear was the rustle of rain on oil-paper umbrellas.

Qian Mingqi had no choice but to ask again: "Under the 76th operation captain Qian Mingqi, he is waiting for the special envoy of the military commander on the order of General Ono. What is your last name, sir? ”

"Your surname is Cui, Cui Feng, a major agent of the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command, and he was ordered by Director Zhou Chengbin to visit General Ono."

Xie Wei, who was like a thorn in his back, said, "I'll go and report." He took the opportunity to leave the scene.

On one side are eight heavily armed guards wearing military raincoats, Qian Mingqi and several other agents; On the other side is Cui Feng, who is alone, facing the muzzle of the gun, and calm. The two sides confronted each other in the rain.

A few minutes later, Xie Wei walked out of the office building, he was a little afraid to face Cui Feng directly, and said to Qian Mingqi: "The general ordered to try to search the body and invite him in." ”

Trying to do a body search? So you don't want to tear your face? Qian Mingqi was a little embarrassed. Xie Wei didn't think so, what happened to Cui Feng, although he didn't know what happened to Cui Feng, he must have come by appointment, and the military commander was not a bandit, how could he carry out an assassination attempt, which was not good for Ono Heiichiro? He said to Qian Mingqi: "Everyone is watching here, please let him in first, and ask at the door of the office in the name of No. 76 has rules." This is No. 76, he is alone, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake. ”

Qian Mingqi nodded, took two steps forward, and said, "General Ono is waiting, Mr. Cui, please." ”

Qian Mingqi led the way, Cui Feng followed with an umbrella with a calm demeanor, Xie Wei followed closely with two internal guards, and there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry in No. 76. Cui Feng secretly disdainful: No matter how heavily guarded No. 76 is, it will not be like this every day, this is a deliberate disappointment for himself.

At the door of the office building, Cui Feng put away his umbrella, Qian Mingqi motioned for a guard to take it, and made a gesture: "Mr. Cui, please." ”

At the door of the director's office, Li Xuehui, who was dressed in straight clothes, was on duty with four internal guards with a cold face. Qian Mingqi stopped and said: "No. 76 has a rule, anyone who enters the director's office must hand over their weapons, Mr. Cui, it's rude." ”

Cui Feng's voice was as usual: "I didn't carry a weapon. ”

Qian Mingqi wanted to do a body search, but when he saw Cui Feng looking at him calmly, he didn't know why, he was a little weak-hearted, and said, "Then please come in." ”

In the office, Heiichiro Ono sat behind a large mahogany desk, looking at the visitors. Cui Feng looked at each other calmly and did not speak. The stalemate continued, and it was Ono Heiichiro, who was the host, who was rude, and he had to treat him hospitablely: "Mr. Cui, please take a seat." Come on, serve tea. ”

Qian Mingqi stood behind Heiichiro Ono with four internal guards, Li Xuehui brought the tea set that had been prepared, Cui Feng sat down on the sofa and replied, "Thank you." Mr. Ono, under Cui Feng, an agent of the military commander major, was ordered by Zhou Chengbin, director of the Shanghai Branch, to send a handwritten letter to negotiate and exchange details on his behalf, and to visit our agents Ge Jiapeng, Chen Ming, Wu Shun, and Ji Gang to confirm that they are still alive. ”

Cui Feng took out the letter from the inner pocket of his suit and put it on the coffee table, and Qian Mingqi came over to take it and presented it to Heiichiro Ono.

Ono Heiichiro looked at it and said secretly: The military commander set the time of the exchange at 12 o'clock at noon on the 12th five days later, and the location was Changsha, the middle zone between Shanghai and Chongqing, which is about 1,000 kilometers away from Shanghai and Chongqing, and the specific location is located at the junction of the occupied areas of the two sides near Changsha.

Heiichiro Ono replied, "The place and time will be as you say, as for the visitation...... Is this necessary? I guarantee that the four of them are still alive. What's more, according to the principle of reciprocity, I am also very worried about the situation of our personnel, but it is too unrealistic to send people to Chongqing to visit, and I am worried that it will affect the implementation of the exchange. ”

Cui Feng smiled lightly: "It is indeed unrealistic to send people from Shanghai to Chongqing, since Mr. Ono mentioned the principle of reciprocity, it is completely possible to send local lurkers to visit like us." Cui got the courtesy he deserved on No. 76, and the military commander would never let General Ono be pretty. ”

Heiichiro Ono's anger: The spy network lurking in Chongqing has been wiped out again, and there are eggs under the nest? Even if he is lucky enough to have eggs, he can't know about it, so how can he send people? He smiled slightly: "I and Director Zhou Chengbin of your bureau are opponents, but we also cherish each other, and I still trust his character." Could it be that Mr. Cui can't trust Ono? ”

Cui Feng smiled and replied, "To be honest, I really can't believe it." ”

Ono Heiichiro's face changed, and Qian Mingqi said angrily: "What did you say? Licentious! ”

Cui Feng retorted without showing weakness: "Mr. Ono gave up the visit, it was your decision, listen to it; On our side, Director Zhou ordered Cui to visit, but Cui did not dare to disobey the commander's military order. ”

Wu Shun, Chen Ming, and Ji Gang were tortured, although they had been ordered to be treated, it would be difficult to change for a while, Ono Heiichiro was worried that when Cui Feng saw him, Tanaka Katsuei, Aihara Nobuyoshi and others would suffer from flesh and skin, and insisted: "I have already said: the hostages must be alive, or it is better for both sides to not see each other." If you really want to see it, let's talk about it when you get to Changsha. ”

Before Cui Feng left, Zhou Chengbin repeatedly told him: You must see Ge Jiapeng and Chen Ming. The two had just been arrested and knew a lot, and after five days of exchange, he was worried that Heiichiro Ono and Ni Xin would continue to torture and extract confessions, and one misstep would become a hatred for eternity...... It's too late to regret. More importantly, it also exposes the drug purchase tasks that are being carried out.

As long as they see Cui Feng and know that the two sides are going to exchange hostages, of course they will not confess again. And Heiichiro Ono and Ni Xin, who know this, will not be doing useless work. Cui Feng smiled and said, "The handwritten letter from Director Zhou that was handed over to Mr. Ono just now was written by Director Zhou on the orders of Boss Dai. Director Zhou also has a letter, which is his personal meaning, and asks Mr. Ono to take a look. ”

Qian Mingqi once again came over and took the letter and handed it to Ono Heiichiro, Ono Heiichiro read it, and his heart was happy, Zhou Chengbin promised in the letter: In order to show sincerity, before the fifth day of the lunar calendar, the Shanghai branch will no longer take the initiative to launch actions against any targets in Shanghai and Nanjing. In exchange for the special envoy Cui Feng and the hostages who were about to be exchanged, they met. At the same time, a condition was put forward: after signing the memorandum, Heiichiro Ono was asked to send a car to send Cui Feng to the border area occupied by the Korean Deqin Department in the Japanese theater. After a truce of more than half a month, you can temporarily go to the peak first. As for Cui Feng, for the safety of his hostages, he didn't plan to do it.

Cui Feng said: "Mr. Ono, you will not suffer a loss in this business, unless the hostage is no longer alive." To tell you the truth: our exchange of seven hostages for four agents is not a business experience, but Mr. Mao once taught me not to be ignorant and ignorant to the point of measuring only the number of people, the so-called character is to judge the value of people by morality. ”

Cui Feng sneered, Ono Heiichiro secretly gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to turn his face: the destruction of the Chongqing spy network proved that Tanaka Katsuei and others had confessed, and he was disappointed, he could ignore these people, but he didn't dare to ignore the original faithfulness and disregard. I had to reply: "Okay, I promise you, I hope you keep your promise." Captain Qian, you go and prepare, and in half an hour, ask Mr. Cui to visit him in the confinement room. Mr. Cui, when we recovered the areas occupied by the military command, an agent named Jia Hao disappeared, where is this person now? ”

"The Shanghai branch doesn't have any of your personnel in its hands."

Ni Xin asked Ono Heiichiro to take advantage of this hostage exchange to track down Jia Hao's whereabouts, and Ono Heiichiro had no choice but to agree: Jia Hao is not an important person, and seeing Cui Feng's answer, he didn't want to make any more trouble.

Qian Mingqi, who understood the governor's intentions, transferred Ge Jiapeng and the others from the cell to the confinement room, changed into clean clothes, and then took Cui Feng to the confinement room. Ge Jiapeng leaned on the head of a single iron bed in the innermost part, and secretly calculated: No. 76 is suddenly preferential, what do you want? What happened to the seriously injured Chen Ming? Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in the iron gate monitoring hole: Cui Feng! Ge Jiapeng wiped his eyes in disbelief: Cui Feng, why did he appear here? Was it arrested?

Without waiting for Cui Feng to speak, Qian Mingqi said, "The other three are in another house, please come with me." ”

The soundproofing of the confinement room was very good, and Ge Jiapeng couldn't hear the sound of speech outside. He got up and walked to the door. Song Ningsheng, who was closely monitored in the confinement room, ordered: "You must not move around at will!" Go back to where you came! ”

Cui Feng walked to the confinement room next door, and saw three people lying on four iron beds through the surveillance hole, although they were all temporarily treated and changed their clothes, the traces left by the torture were still clearly visible. Especially Chen Ming, who was covered with a half-old thin quilt, Cui Feng, who was emaciated, was almost unrecognizable.

Cui Feng's heart was relieved: It's good that people are still alive! But he deliberately raised his face and said angrily: "What have you all done? Chen Ming? Is he alive? Open the door, I want to get up close and personal with him! ”

Ge Jiapeng was overjoyed: Cui Feng said such a thing, shouldn't he be arrested, is it ...... Song Ningsheng pushed him heavily: "Are you deaf?" Get back to where you came! Do you hear that? Don't be uncomfortable! ”

Ge Jiapeng obediently walked inside, and raised his voice as he walked: "What is the murder? Don't push! Shall I go back? ”

Cui Feng, who had been listening to Ge Jiapeng's movements, breathed a sigh of relief: Ge Jiapeng saw himself!

Qian Mingqi replied with a cold face: "General Ono only ordered you to take a look outside the surveillance hole, don't embarrass me." "Close encounters? Absolutely not! Chen Ming suffered multiple fractures, Ji Gang was cut off three fingers, leaving him with a lifelong disability, and after learning all this, Tanaka Katsuei and others inevitably had to suffer more.

Cui Feng continued to negotiate: "I'm not worried, what did you do to Chen Ming?" ”

"I promise he's still alive, and there's no need to lie to you, otherwise how can I exchange? After five days, the three of them should be able to walk. ”

Wu Shun, who was in the best physical condition among the three, was alarmed, he couldn't get out of bed, raised his eyes to look over, he was tortured and refused to bow his head, tears gradually appeared in his eyes at this moment, he didn't expect that there would be a day in this life to see his comrades again......

The goal has been achieved, Cui Feng is no longer entangled, and Zhengse said: "Okay, I'll believe you again!" ”

Qian Mingqi accompanied Cui Feng back to Ono Heiichiro's office, and after the two sides signed a memorandum of exchange of hostages, Qian Mingqi said: "Mr. Cui, I was ordered to send you to the occupied area of the Han Deqin Department, and the car has been prepared, please." ”
