Zhou Chengbin said: "So in the 35th year of the Republic of China, you are also at the headquarters of the Nanjing Military Command Bureau? ”

Tang Jitian replied: "Yes, at that time, I was the inspector of the bureau headquarters. In the 35th and 36th years of the Republic of China, the military commander issued two casual shirts of this style to internal service personnel at or above the school level in the spring. ”

Zhou Chengbin habitually closed his eyes and thought: Ni Xin personally arranged for his grandparents and grandchildren to live in Liu Zezhi's private house, and also equipped two agents to live with distant relatives disguised as maids, and there is a man wearing the uniform of a military commander in the family portrait photo, which is very likely to be the undercover agent placed in the headquarters of the Chongqing Bureau by No. 76. This person should be an old friend of Li Shiqun, and No. 76 used his old mother and young son to remotely control him, this trick is very insidious, but it is very practical. This person has an old mother and young son, but does not live in one place, and has a wife and three daughters, and is an internal staff member of the headquarters of the Nanjing Military Command Bureau in the 35th or 36th year of the Republic of China, with a military rank of major or above. According to the map, it should not be difficult to find this undercover agent.

But if this undercover agent is dug up, will it affect Liu Zezhi? Let Li Shiqun regain suspicion of him? The Shanghai station is implementing the Golden Cicada plan, and Liu Zezhi is an important part of it, and he believes that Mao Renfeng will not take this into account when dealing with this matter.

At nine o'clock in the morning of August 24, after receiving a secret telegram from Zhou Chengbin, Mao Renfeng paced alone, pondered for a long time, and ordered: "Secretary Wang, let Xu Yixuan and Meng Xiaojie come to see me immediately." ”

Xu Yixuan and Meng Xiaojie, who were busy but had nothing to gain, came on order, and Mao Renfeng asked, "Has there been any progress in the task assigned to you?" ”

The two looked at each other, and Xu Yixuan said stiffly: "Back to Mr. Mao's words, except for excluding the suspicion of the two people on the list, there has been no progress. ”

Mao Renfeng sneered: "Ten days, two days have passed, and only two people have been excluded?" ”

"The subordinates are incompetent." Xu Yixuan's heart said that he would never be specially called to teach us a lesson, right?

Mao Renfeng handed Xu Yixuan two official letters and said, "Take a look." ”

Xu Yixuan took it with both hands, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "According to this condition, and then check the list of suspects to find out this person - Mr. Mao, please give me a day, and my subordinates will definitely find out this person for you and hand it over to you for disposal." Mr. Mao, where did you get this clue...... The subordinates lost their words, this is not something I should inquire about, and the subordinates were excited and got carried away. ”

Mao Renfeng snorted and said, "Go ahead, remember not to startle the snake." Lao Meng, you stay for a while. ”

Xu Yixuan left happily. Meng Xiaojie secretly said that he left me alone, what do you mean? Is it because Xu Yixuan and I have made no achievements and have not made meritorious atonements in the operation to track down the undercover agents, so they want to send me back to the Xifeng Concentration Camp to continue serving my sentence? No way? If this is really the case, Mao Renfeng just explained to Xu Yixuan, why do you need to leave yourself alone to talk.

Mao Renfeng said very kindly: "Lao Meng, you also look at this official letter - what are you doing standing up?" Sit down and say. ”

After Meng Xiaojie finished reading the secret telegram, he handed it back to Mao Renfeng with both hands. Mao Renfeng said again: "Are you, like Xu Yixuan, also want to know the source of the news about this undercover agent?" To tell you the truth, it was a secret telegram from Shanghai Railway Station. ”

What he couldn't tell Xu Yixuan, Mao Renfeng told himself very frankly, there must be a reason for this, and the calm and silent Meng Xiaojie didn't ask. Mao Renfeng sighed and soothed: "Lao Meng, it's been more than a month, I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the Xifeng Concentration Camp, but the state has national laws and family rules, you have to understand my difficulties." ”

Meng Xiaojie replied: "It's because of the ineffective handling of subordinates, and they should be punished by this, and they don't dare to hold grudges...... Guo Xuan, tracing back to the source, without the explosion of the Kangci Pharmaceutical Factory, Guo Xuan would not have died in Shanghai......"

"You can't be blamed for that."

Meng Xiaojie had already vaguely guessed Mao Renfeng's thoughts, and he replied: "Mr. Mao, my subordinates have been serving their sentences in the Xifeng Concentration Camp for two months and are isolated from the world, but I am convinced of Guo Xuan's character, and I ask Mr. Mao to correct his name at the right opportunity." ”

"Of course. Lao Meng, the Shanghai station is carrying out an action personally assigned by the principal: the Golden Cicada Project, to assist the British to transfer six tons of gold from Shanghai under the nose of the Japanese puppet traitors. Alas, Lao Meng, after the death of Duan Wentao, the military commander urgently needed to install a person of his own on No. 76. For the safety of No. 86, Mao Renfeng concealed Liu Zezhi's existence from Meng Xiaojie.

Speaking of which, Meng Xiaojie made his words clear: "What should my subordinates do, please let Mr. Mao know." ”

"This undercover agent in the bureau headquarters has been found out, there should be no problem, I want to use this person as a springboard to insert you into No. 76. Lao Meng, the matter is big, No. 76 is a demon cave, the military commander has fought with him many times, and has not taken any advantage, if you feel powerless, or have any concerns, you might as well make it clear, I will not pursue your disobedience. ”

Meng Xiaojie got up and replied solemnly: "The wives and children of his subordinates have all died at the hands of the Japanese invaders, and it is the dream of his subordinates to do their best for the country. ”

Mao Renfeng was very pleased: "Okay, come, sit down and say, let's plan well." ”

At 7 p.m. on August 24, Meng Xiaojie was escorted back to the Xifeng concentration camp, and the prisoner in the same cell had just returned from labor, and was startled to see him go and return, and an old prisoner surnamed Zhu asked, "Old Meng, why are you back again?" Have you changed your face, shaved your face and taken a shower? I hurriedly told the discipline that there would be no food for you when it was late, and I wouldn't be able to eat enough, and I couldn't give it to you. ”

Meng Xiaojie replied worriedly: "Don't look for trouble, I won't eat it...... Lao Zhu, I may have to leave...... Alas, forget it, don't talk about it. ”

"Let's go? Where to? Several prisoners gathered around: "Won't you?" Isn't it a crime of dereliction of duty? Sin is not death, do you think too much? Besides, you always say that there are people outside for you on weekdays......"

Because of the care of the guard, Liu Lin was ordered by Guo Xuan, and some other friends sent in from time to time to eat, Meng Xiaojie is very peaceful, so he is very popular among the prisoners. He sighed heavily: "Don't mention it, after two days of tired interrogation, you want to cover my crimes...... Thanks to their old feelings and allowing me to shave my face and shave my head, I was finally able to leave decently...... Guo Xuan died, but in the final analysis, it was because of the injuries he suffered in that explosion, and Shangfeng was angry with me...... Just waited for Boss Dai to return to Chongqing and signed the ...... I'll just ...... Alas, there is such a catastrophe in life, and you can't escape, forget it, people will die in a hundred years, and they will die early. ”

The inmates didn't know how to comfort him, who could be without a heart for the people who were locked up here? They were all silent. Meng Xiaojie sat in the corner of the shop, his face solemn.

A guard shouted back and forth in the corridor: "Dinner will be served in ten minutes, and the meal time will be a quarter of an hour, and the people who read their names after the meal will gather in the corridor, form two columns, and work overtime to unload the truck." ”

Everyone hurriedly took out the rice bowl made of black pottery, waited for the rice to be beaten, and then hurriedly pulled it into their mouths. Meng Xiaojie actually had a meal, he ate two bites, put down his chopsticks, and said to Lao Zhu: "I can't eat it, give it to you." Lao Zhu was not polite, and took a few bites and went into his stomach.

At half past seven, the guards in the corridor began to roll call, in addition to Meng Xiaojie on the list, there was also the prisoner surnamed Zhu in the same cell with him. The two men walked out of their cells and lined up with 34 other prisoners to follow the guards to the playground at the back of the camp.

Everyone stood on the playground for a full hour before four ten-wheeled trucks kicked up clouds of dust and stopped on the improvised playground. The chief guard led seven or eight guards with batons and stood by to supervise the unloading of the 36 selected able-bodied prisoners.

The car was loaded with cement and sand in rough sacks, which was heavy and difficult to carry, and after unloading a car, it was already dark, and the chief warden shouted loudly: "Where are the foreign workers?" If you don't finish it today, not only will you not be allowed to go back, but tomorrow's breakfast will also be deducted! Divide into two groups and unload both cars together! ”

Unprepared, Meng Xiaojie slipped to the side of the empty car that had just finished unloading, stood aside, and the chief guard, who personally monitored the prisoner's labor, gave him a look.

The driver got into the car, the prison doors opened, and the truck drove out of the camp.

After the prisoners finished unloading the car, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and the guard ordered: "Assemble, count!" ”

The exhausted prisoners hurriedly assembled, lined up in two columns, and began to count: "One, two, three......"

After reporting the number of thirty, several guards had already discovered the problem, and they were taken aback, and hurriedly counted, there were still thirty-five prisoners left! The warden drank: "Ran one!" Check right away to see who's jailbreaking? Damn, it's too daring! You, go and report to the warden, catch this bastard, and shoot and kill! ”

Several guards counted the heads at the same time, and soon found that Meng Xiaojie was gone! The prison warden, who got the news, hurriedly brought people over and ordered: "You take the others back and interrogate them overnight to see if anyone covers Meng Xiaojie's escape!" You go and report to Director Xu right away! I guess the surname Meng is hiding in the truck and running, you contact the transport brigade and let them assist in the trackdown! The others come with me. ”

Xu Yixuan, who was waiting for news in the office under the pretext of working overtime, received a report from the concentration camp and ordered his secretary: "Someone has escaped from the Xifeng concentration camp!" It was the Qin prisoner who was personally ordered to be detained by Boss Dai, and this is worth it! Prepare the car, you see who is currently on duty in the bureau in the department, mobilize more than a dozen people, if there are not enough people, draw from the people who are on duty in other departments and offices, and follow me. ”
