At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of September 18, Ni Xin came to the temporary monitoring headquarters on the roof of a high-rise building more than 300 meters away from the seafarers' club, and Ding Linjie greeted him: "Director Ni, at one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jinsong returned to the club after dining out and never came out. ”

Ni Xin was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Team Leader Ding, the director told me a few days ago that after carrying out this task, he wants to appoint you as the director of the No. 76 General Affairs Office, this position has been vacant for a year, and someone should fill the vacancy." ”

Ding Linjie was overjoyed, alas, faith and conscience were like clouds of smoke...... If you don't mention it, it's not bad to earn more money and let your family live a good life. He replied with a smile: "Thank you Director Ni for your care, that's Director Li's wrong love, where can I be competent?" Let's focus on arresting Chen Jinsong first. ”

Since it is a cage, Ni Xin simply does it to the end: "Mrs. Zun's health is also much better, yesterday I heard that I can come to Shanghai for a reunion recently, and I forgot to tell you when I was busy." Lao Ding, Director Li really didn't treat you as an outsider, you are a celebrity in front of the director, and I will ask you to take more care of you in the future and speak well in front of the director. ”

Ding Linjie hurriedly thanked: "Where, where, it's a joke, you are the pillar of No. 76 and Director Li's henchman, Ding Mou has to rely on you to take care of you." ”

Ni Xin smiled slightly: "They are all their own brothers, it's easy to say." At present, the task before us is to catch Chen Jinsong and remove a major problem for Director Li. Where is Team Leader Kwon Suga? ”

"He disguised himself as a Japanese seafarer in a café on the first floor."

Ni Xinshu spread out the map, studied it carefully, and said: "The club has a total of four floors, there are many rooms inside, each floor is three or four exits, stairwells, elevator rooms, the terrain is too complicated, and there are many foreigners. Chen Jinsong is extremely cunning, and there are many people who go in, if he notices it in advance, he doesn't know if he has any accomplices...... Team Leader Ding, I see the three exits on the first floor, here is condescending, wait for him to come out, send a signal, and start arresting, what do you think? ”

Ni Xin's plan is feasible, and the status is there, of course Ding Linjie will not object, and replied: "Please Director Ni be the master, and we will follow the order." ”

Quan Kanhu came up, saw Ni Xin, and said, "Director Ni, you are here." I couldn't sit in the café for long, and two of my men went down to change me, and I came back. ”

Ni Xin briefly introduced the action plan to him, and Kwon Kanhu replied: "Director Ni, there is a ...... saying"

Ni Xin frowned and said, "What are you doing?" If you have something to say, just say it. ”

"Although Chen Jinsong is only the deputy head of the Shanghai station, Tong Guò's recent interrogation of the two peripheral organizations of the arrested military commander, his subordinates believe that this person is responsible for the expansion of the Shanghai station and the establishment of the contact point, so his value is not under Zhou Chengbin, our number one target. At present, Chen Jinsong should not know that he is already under our control, even if there are accomplices, there will not be many. ”

Ni Xin replied: "It makes sense, Zhou Chengbin should have gone all out to steal and transport gold recently. All the operatives here are your and Team Leader Ding's subordinates, and the order will be passed down: Chen Jinsong must be captured alive, if anyone kills him, not only will it be useless, but I will definitely investigate his responsibility for dereliction of duty. The seafarers' club closes at six o'clock, and the whole staff goes into standby at half past five. ”

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jinsong, who is alias Li Hongyu, paced to the window, stretched his arms a few times, and looked into the distance, the autumn mood of Shanghai was getting stronger, orange, yellow and red, and it was beautiful. It's been almost two months since I applied for a job here, and it has become a habit to look at Shanghai after work. As far as the eye could see, the sun flag flying high at the entrance of the Songhu garrison headquarters looked down on the Chinese under it and the land left by the Chinese ancestors as usual.

Under the big camphor tree at the exit of the back door, there was an extra shoe repair stall that was not there before, and Chen Jinsong said that tomorrow he would let him order a forefoot for the pair of leather shoes he wore in winter. The young shoemaker didn't look very skilled, so why didn't he stare at the work in his hand and look around?

Chen Jinsong walked out of the office, looking at the main entrance from the window at the end of the corridor, two tricycle drivers waiting for their employers sat in the car chatting, the Jing'an Temple Road where the seafarers' club is located is only a corner, the tricycles that work here are in good condition, these two cars are also seven or eight percent new, the tricycle drivers are very protective of the cars they rely on, and most of them will not sit in the seats of the guests when waiting for the employer, but sit in the position of the passengers' feet, these two drivers are a little different.

Chen Jinsong returned to the office, took out a coarse cloth handbag from the cabinet, and greeted the cashier: "Sister Qian, I took a step in advance, and the boss ...... there."

"I know, go ahead." Although he hasn't been here for a long time, Chen Jinsong's popularity is very good, and it is certainly not a problem to help a little once in a while.

Chen Jinsong walked to the third floor, saw that there was no one around, took out a double-row No. 38 pistol with a double row of ammunition hidden here in advance from the fire box set up in the corridor, and turned into the bathroom.

At 5:20, a man with long hair and a bearded Japanese seaman, wearing a pair of brown eyes, holding a pictorial in his hand, and wearing a black kimono and casual clothes, swaggered down the elevator to the first floor, and walked out of the door with seven or eight people.

At the front of the group were two middle-aged women, who walked straight to the two tricycles parked in front of the door and bargained for a car, while several men in the back walked towards the bus stop and some went to hire a car a little further away. The seaman-looking man quickly hired a three-wheeler and disappeared into the bustling crowd on the road.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the staff of the seamen's club were almost finished, and the night shift people also arrived one after another, and Chen Jinsong was never seen. Ni Xin felt a little bad and asked, "Team Leader Quan, are you sure that Chen Jinsong is in there today?" ”

Kwon Suga replied: "Sure, although I haven't met him, but I've seen his photos, and I saw him walk through the door at eight o'clock in the morning, and went out to eat a bowl of noodles at noon, which was the noodle restaurant, and went back at one o'clock." ”

Ni Xin thought for a while and ordered: "Lao Quan, the club's finance room is on the fourth floor, right?" You go up and see if there is anyone, if there is no one, pry open the door and go in and search, the idea is not to leave traces that you can see that someone has entered. ”

Quan Suga agreed to leave, and after more than 20 minutes, he rushed back and said, "Director Ni, there is no one in the finance room, I went in to take a look, and I didn't find anything suspicious." ”

Ni Xin was puzzled: Where did Chen Jinsong go? Did you see any flaws and run away in disguise? He pondered for a long time and said: "Lao Quan, you take someone to the door of the club, hire the two three-wheeled cars of our own people, go around somewhere, these two people don't come back today, add two more people tomorrow, continue to control at the gate, remember: every half an hour, four three-wheeled wheels take turns to go out, don't guard there like a door god." ”

Kwon Suga replied, "You mean you need to continue to control?" Could Chen Jinsong have discovered the suspicions? Will he ever come back? ”

"Chen Jinsong is a very cautious person, and he must have found something suspicious. But the doubts are just doubts...... Maybe, he will come back, maybe not, but I can't help but prepare for him to come back. I hope he can come back when he sees this place as usual...... After all, it is not easy to find a suitable hiding place. ”

"Yes, then I'll go."

Ni Xin said to Ding Linjie again: "The others continue to stick to their posts, repair shoes that should repair shoes, sell fruits who should sell fruits, and tell them: Do a line like a line!" Car No. 76 is absolutely not allowed to appear within a radius of one kilometer, and the blockade point must be set up one kilometer away. Call the telecommunications office and ask two people to come and take a line from the club's switchboard to listen to all incoming calls. Remember: you have to hide it from everyone in the club. ”

Ding Linjie promised: "Yes, I'll arrange it." I estimate that even if Chen Jinsong comes back, he must first look at the limelight, it should be the day after tomorrow, and the fastest is tomorrow afternoon, here is the rooftop, these two simple rooms are ventilated on all sides, and the wind is high and cold after nightfall, you go back to rest first. ”

Ni Xin shook his head and refused: "No, I'll be here from now on." ”

At ten o'clock in the evening of September 18, Liu Zezhi took Ma Xinli to Wuhu and went directly to Hefeng Hospital, where Ye Shiwen and others were hospitalized. ”

Head Ma greeted: "Secretary Liu, it's hard work. Something like this happened in my brother's jurisdiction, I really don't have the face to see Director Li, how dare I be this thank you? It's not that I blame you, Director Li has every opportunity, you should greet me in advance, what is polite between brothers? It's too out-of-the-box. ”

Liu Zezhi sighed: "Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? What is that water bandit called? ”

"Mixed River Dragon! This name has been there for a long time, and no one can tell who it is. There is good news: the ingots on the Far East have appeared on the black market, and I order my men to track them down with all their might, and maybe they can be recovered. ”

Liu Zezhi was very happy and replied, "Really? The head of the whole battle horse is a volunteer helper. Brother Ma, Director Li specially explained: This case is an ordinary case of robbery and murder by water bandits, and Li ......"

Without waiting for Liu Zezhi to finish speaking, Head Ma nodded again and again: "I know it in my heart, don't worry, please tell Director Li to rest assured, I know what to do." ”

"Then please, it's best to get it back, the ship is Boss Huang's, otherwise there is really no way to explain."

Captain Ma patted his chest and took a big bag: "The ship can definitely be recovered, and it is impossible for such a big ship to disappear." With me, there is a good chance that the goods on the ship can be returned to Zhao. Secretary Liu, please be aggrieved and stay in the cold house. ”

Liu Zezhi naturally didn't take the false invitation of the head of the horse regiment seriously, and said politely: "Don't bother, I've already booked a hostel." ”

"Then I won't be reluctant, when the boat is found, our brother will have another drink, and at that time, you must appreciate the face of the old brother." It's not too early, I'll go first, you can talk. ”

Liu Zezhi sent Captain Ma to the staircase, returned to the ward, and said to Ma Xinli: "You go to the neighborhood and rent two rooms." Manager Ye and I are chatting and waiting for you. ”
