In Chongqing on December 15th, Dai Ru hesitated for several days and finally came to see Mao Renfeng. "Mr. Mao, there are a few words that I don't know whether to say or not?"

"How can you have so much nonsense? Don't you say, what are you coming to me for? ”

Dai Ru was taken aback, why did Mao Renfeng have such a big temper? Dai Ru, who touched a big nail, said with a smile: "Mr. Mao taught me a lesson." It was about the escape of the South Pole Star, and his subordinates investigated for a few days and found many suspicious points. ”

"Wait." Mao Renfeng raised his head from the pile of texts: "Isn't this matter investigated by Guo Xuan?" Did you find something suspicious and communicate with him? ”

Dai Ru was stunned for a moment and did not answer. Mao Renfeng's face sank: "What's wrong?" Babbling, did you have a conflict with Guo Xuan? How did I explain it to you? He is a tall and arrogant person, and you have to let him take a step in the matter of face, and don't affect his work because of interpersonal disputes. Did you not hear my words, or did you hear them and did not take them to heart? ”

"The subordinates don't dare...... The subordinates had not communicated with Director Guo beforehand. It's not that we've had any unhappiness with each other, it's ...... The subordinates know that this suspicion is a bit absurd, but Director Guo's expression is indeed puzzling. And Director Guo has been busy with other things in the past few days, and he doesn't seem to pay much attention to the investigation. So the subordinates did some research on their own......"

"You did your own research? Well, let's hear it. ”

"Mr. Mao, although Guo Xuan is a technician, you know his skills, how could he be kidnapped by Kong Wenqing? This is one of them. Guo Xuan personally told me that he was going to inject high-purity drugs into NJS, and it would take 10 days to make people deeply addicted. After investigation, the subordinates consulted experts in this area, and this statement is completely false. Guo Xuan fell into the hands of the Japanese, according to his own account, he was carefully searched by Kong Wenqing, and was forced to take sleeping pills, but the wire he hid in the collar was not found, and he successfully hid the sleeping pills without taking them through Kong Wenqing's eyes, is this reasonable? Thirdly. Also, according to Director Guo, the opponent did send a telegram, but he did not hear it clearly and could not provide effective clues. It is possible for others to say this, but who is Guo Xuan? I measured that the distance between the two rooms was no more than 7.5 meters. Fourth. After Guo Xuan escaped, it took him nearly three hours to find the Qingcheng County garrison, and six hours later to find the location of the incident. With Guo Xuan's skills and observation, this possibility cannot be said to be none, but it is very small......"

"That's it!" Mao Renfeng slapped the pen in his hand and said impatiently: "Where did you get so many one, two, and three...... It sounds like the head is the way, but in fact, it is completely chasing after the wind. I have never doubted Guo Xuan's loyalty! You, the neighbor who stole the axe, the more you look at it, the more you look like it. You've had nothing to do these two days, you're bored, aren't you? Did the more than 100 traitor spies sent by the Japanese to see the Sky Net operation slip through the net? I personally explained that your group temporarily crossed Guo Xuan's command. You privately investigate the direct prefect, who gave you the right? ”

Dai Ru hit another big nail for no reason, Mao Renfeng's words, Guo Xuan's protection, a bit out of line. It doesn't make sense, I haven't heard that Mr. Mao has any special feelings for Guo Xuan, but many people know that the two have had a disagreement several times. Guo Xuan has been detained by Mr. Mao twice.

Before he could come up with a reason to convince Mao Renfeng, Mao Renfeng ordered: "The matter of the South Pole Star is over, and it is not allowed to inquire, discuss, or leak to the outside world in the future, and of course, it is not allowed to investigate again." Do you understand? Otherwise military law engages! Your cooperation with Guo Xuan will also end from today. ”

The military order was difficult to disobey, Dai Ru was full of grievances and unwilling, but he could only answer upright: "Yes, my subordinates remember." ”

In Shanghai on 18 December, Liu Zezhi discovered that for more than a week since Major Shadow Zuozhen Zhao arrived, Ni Xin, who had always been dedicated, had gone out mysteriously several times, and he had been there for most of the day. Unexpectedly, on this day, Li Shiqun suddenly asked, "What's going on with Ni Xin recently?" Why can't I see him all the time? ”

Liu Zezhi said: "If you go back to the director's words, your subordinates don't know." Do you need me to ask him? Then he smiled again: "Actually, director, you don't have to be angry, you can't compare me with Ni Xin, it's really rare to see someone as dedicated as me." ”

Li Shiqun couldn't cry or laugh: "Are you dedicated? You don't have any other advantages, and you feel good about yourself, which is really admirable. Well, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. When I'm free, I'll peel you off! At Christmas, General Kagesa Zhenzhao held a party, and all of us here at the rank of major and above, except for those on duty, had to attend. At present, I am the head of the General Affairs Division, and the Chief of the Administration Section has not been replaced. It's better for you to make a statement. Also, these two documents, you will send them to the Japanese headquarters immediately. ”

Liu Zezhi finished sending the text and left the Japanese headquarters, and happened to meet Ni Xin at the gate, he was stunned, how could Ni Xin be here? If Ni Xin came here and Li Shiqun knew, then why did he send himself to deliver the text? Is this a secret from Li Shiqun? Heiichiro Ono, who has an unusual relationship with Ni Xin, has left Shanghai on December 13, who is Ni Xin looking for here with Li Shiqun behind his back? Could it be that Zuo Zhenzhao also appreciates Ni Xin, who has known each other for a few days? It's impossible, Ni Xin is not a big man with a background and background.

Ni Xin was also stunned, and walked over to say hello: "Why are you here?" ”

"I should ask you, why are you here? The director asked you just now. Think about how to deal with it. I came to deliver the text on the order of the director, and I was dignified. ”

Ni Xin sneered and laughed: "Look at what you said, you are upright, and I am not sneaky." Director, I have something to say. Hey, you've been staring at me, what's the point? ”

"I see that your face is full of red light, and you seem to be in a good mood, pinch your fingers, well, yes, what kind of peach blossom luck did you go?" Before he finished speaking, Liu Zezhi smiled and leaned back together.

Liu Zezhi was originally a joke, but Ni Xin's face turned red and said with a smile: "Nonsense." I won't tell you, I'll go back now, can you go? ”

From that day on, Liu Zezhi observed carefully, and he didn't know how Ni Xin explained, Li Shiqun seemed to have acquiesced to Ni Xin's early departure and late return, and no longer asked. Fortunately, not many days passed, Ni Xin returned to normalcy, staying by Li Shiqun's side, on call. After work, in addition to reading books, he occasionally drinks some wine, and rarely leaves No. 76 unless he goes out on business on Li Shiqun's orders.

The thirtieth year of the Republic of China finally came, on the fourth day of January, Liu Zezhi was ordered to go to the financial office to reconcile the accounts, and it took a little time to sort out a few accounts, and when he looked up at his watch, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Except for those on duty in the office building, everyone else left after work. Looking out of the window, Li Shiqun's black Lincoln car was still parked in the yard, and he was holding several financial statements to Li Shiqun to sign. Ni Xin stopped him: "Don't go in, the director has guests." ”

Liu Zezhi sat behind his desk: "Then I'll wait." There are several reports waiting to be signed by the Director. ”

"I think you'd better go back first, and it's not too late to sign the report tomorrow."

Liu Zezhi was very strange: "Why? What's in there? No, I haven't heard of it, and I haven't seen any other cars. Besides, I can't see the big guys? Director Li hasn't bombarded me yet, you're here. ”

Jingle bell - this is the bell when Li Shiqun called the secretary and guards, Ni Xin smiled and said: "I am for your good." The director called someone, and I went in first. ”

Soon, Ni Xin walked out again: "Now you can't leave if you want to." The director instructed you to go to the Japanese restaurant on the street in front of you to book a private room for six people, and Director Li will have a banquet for two guests, and you and I will accompany you. The leader of the three groups of Yamaki Ryu also went. ”

Liu Zezhi was full of doubts: What kind of big man is it, how could he let Ni Xin and his two secretaries accompany him? If it is an ordinary guest, he still uses labor Li Shiqun to personally feast guests? Explain a word, send Ni Xin or himself, whoever represents it.

After booking a private room, Liu Zezhi asked for a pot of barley tea and looked through the menu. It didn't take long for the sound of a car parked at the door, he quickly put down the menu, got up and greeted him, and when he saw someone, he was stunned in the local area: behind Li Shiqun, in addition to Ni Xin and Yamaki Ryusan, there were two people, one of whom was in his thirties, with a moderate figure, a Chinese face, and an inch head. There is another one, it was because Liu Zezhi blurted out a sentence that he was arrested, and there was no news afterwards, Kong Wenqing, who had been thinking about it but had no way to inquire!
