On the morning of May 16, on the order of Zhou Chengbin, Yang Jun took Ye Junyuan to the secret warehouse of Yicheng Trading Company. On the 76th of May, 50 people seconded to Heiichiro Ono went to the "Special Economic Work Office", and Zhao Jingdong temporarily handed over the work at hand to his younger brother Zhang Xiaodan, and took the five people who had been placed in it by Li Shiqun's secret order to receive a four-week closed training together. Zhou Chengbin set up the workshop that Ye Junyuan needed here. Let Yang Jun take Liu Lin and Zhai Yanmin, and the three of them will give Ye Junyuan a hand. Knowing that this was actually the warehouse of the trading company controlled by Li Shiqun, the head of the No. 76 spy, Ye Junyuan was taken aback: Is it safe here? Zhou Chengbin's courage is also too big. Then he thought about it, Zhou Chengbin was bold and careful, he must have his reasons for doing this.

Yang Jun took Ye Junyuan to look around and asked, "What else do you need?" ”

Ye Junyuan spent two hours, writing while thinking, pulled a long list, and said, "In addition to what you have here, these are the tools and raw materials I need, and the three of you will buy them separately." Be sure to run a few more places and buy in batches. ”

Yang Jun took it and took a look, saws, planers and other tools, gypsum, cement, dyes of various colors, glass, ironware, wood, plastics, and all kinds of paper...... A feast for the eyes. Ye Junyuan marked the specifications, specific requirements, etc. behind each item. He replied, "I know, I will have it all by tomorrow morning." Liu Lin, Stationmaster Zhou specially explained that it was best for you to show up less. I'll just go buy these things with the people. You are here to help Mr. Ye with the preliminary preparations. ”

Yang Jun and Zhai Yanmin went to purchase items, and Ye Junyuan explained to Liu Lin: "You check all the tools to see if there are any that cannot be used normally." When they come back, we'll work together. ”

At half past five in the afternoon, Li Shiqun called Liu Zezhi: "Zezhi, prepare the car, accompany me to Nanjing." On the way, I went to Zhao Jingdong's warehouse, took out two sets of eighteenth-century silver tableware, and found a few European Renaissance oil paintings. ”

Liu Zezhi's heart sank, what should I do? Zhou Chengbin used the warehouse as a workshop and asked Ye Junyuan and others to forge the production line. Now that they have broken through, Ye Junyuan and the others will not know it, and there may be a fire. He smiled, "Yes." It's not a very easy way to get to the warehouse from here. Since I still have to pick up something, I'll just go alone. Director, please have dinner first, and I'll be back in an hour. Besides, the fewer people you have told me the address of the warehouse, the better. Of course, your driver and guards are your own people, but ......"

Li Shiqun had nothing to do, and replied: "It's okay, then you go and go back quickly." ”

Liu Zezhi drove to the warehouse alone, he didn't dare to rush in, and honked the car horn outside the gate. Ye Junyuan and the others, who were busy in the warehouse, were startled. Yang Jun stopped what he was doing, walked to the window in a few steps, looked out, and blurted out: "It's Liu Zezhi's car at No. 76, why is he here?" ”

I only heard the sound of "oops", Liu Lin, who was sawing a wooden plank, missed it, and his left hand was cut by the saw and a deep hole more than an inch long, and blood flowed down. Ye Junyuan didn't speak, and handed him a clean handkerchief.

Yang Jun calmed down and said, "Don't panic, everyone, I'll go out and deal with it." ”

Liu Zezhi opened the car door, stepped out of the car, frowned and said to Yang Jun who came forward: "Is there someone inside?" How is it brightly lit? Didn't Manager Zhao tell you that outsiders are not allowed here? ”

Yang Jun replied: "I said it." However, the rainy season in Shanghai came, and I saw that there were a few places on the roof that seemed to be leaking, so I found two people to come and repair it. What are you doing here? ”

Liu Zezhi looked at the roof and said, "What are you doing during the day?" It's getting dark, what kind of roof to build? Don't let anything happen again. Come on, I'm too lazy to worry about it. Here's a slip I wrote, and you bring me the things listed on it, and load it onto the car. When Lao Zhao comes back, you just give him the documents. ”

Yang Jun hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Okay, leave it to me, Secretary Liu wait." ”

In the warehouse, Ye Junyuan and the others were holding guns in their hands, hiding in different places, and they were engrossed on guard. Yang Jun quickly found out the things listed on Liu Zezhi's documents and hugged them out. Liu Zezhi had already opened the trunk of the car in advance, Yang Jun put his things away, and asked, "Secretary Liu, what else do you command?" ”

"It's getting dark, don't do any work today. I'm leaving. ”

Watching the car leave, Ye Junyuan at the window breathed a sigh of relief and put away the pistol. He felt that something was wrong and asked Yang Jun, "Who is this person?" Does he come here often? ”

Yang Jun replied: "He is Li Shiqun's secretary, his name is Liu Zezhi, and he doesn't come often." Except for me, only Zhao Jidong and this Liu Zezhi know. ”

Li Shiqun's secretary? So you're also a professional agent of No. 76? Ye Junyuan listened to the conversation between Yang Jun and Liu Zezhi just now, and it happened suddenly, and Yang Jun's response was not clever. Ye Junyuan was worried, is it really safe for Zhou Chengbin to set up the workshop where he faked the production line? He asked again: "Liu Zezhi sometimes doesn't look for a greeting to come here, does Stationmaster Zhou know?" ”

Yang Jun replied, "I reported to him. ”

Ye Junyuan asked again: "What kind of person is this Liu Zezhi, do you understand?" ”

"I don't know much, I've only seen him a few times, and he talks even less. I only know that this person is Li Shiqun's cronies. The manager of Yicheng Trading Company is Zhao Jingdong, but in fact, Zhao Jingdong has to listen to this person for many things. ”

Of course, the secretary next to him, how can he not be a cronie. was selected by Li Shiqun to be his secretary, and he is not a good person. Did Liu Zezhi find anything? Will he kill a carbine?

Although he had many doubts, Ye Junyuan could only trust Zhou Chengbin's judgment and would not make such a big mistake. Since Zhou Chengbin has set up the workshop here, he is sure that it is safe here. "Let's get on with the work," he said. Liu Lin, your hand is injured, don't do it yet, go to the door and watch. If there is any emergency, report it in advance. ”

In the evening of the next day, Zhai Yanmin, who was arranged by Zhou Chengbin to be a sanitation worker, pedaled a three-wheeled garbage truck and carried away some parts of the production line forged by Ye Junyuan. That night, Chen Jinsong and two operators from the Shanghai station infiltrated Mr. Rudolph's workshop, a Jew, through a sewage pipe, and exchanged the Xibei goods for the same part of the production line.

In the days since, the same action has continued every day. Liu Zezhi has not appeared again. Ye Junyuan didn't dare to be careless, and still arranged for someone to control the wind at the door of the warehouse every day.

Three days later, on May 19, Guo Xuan came to Puji Temple to find Zhou Chengbin: "Chengbin, look at these "declarations", Sir George's missing person notice has been published for four consecutive days. You listen to me: I listen to you, give up the risk. But if we do nothing, Akira Kagesa won't get what he wants, and Sir George and his party may not be able to leave China. ”

Zhou Chengbin has no good impression of European and American upper-class figures like Sir George: "That's their business. China is in trouble, and we are too busy to take care of ourselves. Aren't these so-called righteous gentlemen in Europe and the United States also sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, allowing the Chinese to fight alone? What did those League of Nations diplomats do when they pay lip service to condemnation and condemnation? ”

"You can't say the same thing, since Germany occupied most of Europe with a blitzkrieg, they didn't also rise up against it......"

"That's because the flames of war have burned under their feet, and Britain and France are reaping the consequences! Until now, isn't the United States still hanging on its own business? Their support for us, if not a drop in the bucket, is too limited! I think that one day, these Yankees will also reap the consequences, and when the Japanese attack them, they will know what it means to lose both, what it means to be in the same boat, and what it means to be ...... Forget it, the Ingalls father and son can only ask for more blessings on their own. Guo Xuan, whether I am temporary or long-term, now that you are the deputy stationmaster of Shanghai Station, I once again warn you as your direct commander: without my order, you are not allowed to do your own thing! Don't forget that you are an active duty soldier and it is your duty to obey orders. ”

Guo Xuan is rare and patient and easy to speak: "I know." But can you hear my plan first? I promise that I will not do anything without your permission. ”

Zhou Chengbin knew that since Guo Xuan said so, he would definitely not break his word, so he breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Okay, then you can tell me and hear it." ”

After listening to Guo Xuan's plan, Zhou Chengbin closed his eyes and thought about it, thought about it again and again, and finally refused: "No, I don't agree." Although your plan is feasible, there are still risks, Sir George is not our ally, let alone our comrade-in-arms, and we are not obliged to risk it because of him. This plan must be put on hold indefinitely. ”

On the afternoon of the 19th, Ni Xin returned to No. 76 from St. Mary's Church to report to Li Shiqun. "Director, it's been four days, Guo Xuan hasn't shown up, and no suspicious characters have been found near the church. The subordinates felt that Guo Xuan should have seen through our premeditated plan and would not be fooled. Sir George's father and son, as well as the code-breaking technology in his hands, did not have such great value to the military command Shanghai station, and it was worth Guo Xuan's risk. ”

Li Shiqun nodded and replied: "Your words make sense, I thought of it in advance, so I have a plan for the second cloth." Ni Xin, do you still remember why Zhou Chengbin made a big fuss about the Japanese army headquarters at the beginning? ”

"Yes. The reason was that after the assassination of Professor Hideo Fukuda, General Kagesa Zhenzhao decided to kill one suspect a day in a fit of rage, which angered Zhou Chengbin. ”

"Not bad. Guo Xuan can resist the temptation of Sir George's latest code-breaking technology, so can he resist the condemnation of conscience and watch Ingalls go to the execution ground? ”

Ni Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "But Sir George is a British lord and an instructor at the Royal Military School of the Duke of York. After all, Britain and Japan did not fight each other, and with his status, we are jealous. ”

Li Shiqun smiled and said, "Ni Xin, you didn't understand what I said, I'm talking about Ingalls, that is, Pastor Charles, not his father." Charles has been a missionary in China for more than ten years, and it is too simple to charge him with a crime. Ni Xin, at the beginning, Zhou Chengbin could be angry at the crown for those suspects he didn't know, and now I want to try Guo Xuan's bottom line: will he mess up for Pastor Charles. What do you think I have a chance of winning? ”

Ni Xin felt very uncomfortable, thought about it and decided to make a direct admonition: "Director, forgive my subordinates for being blunt: If we plan properly, Guo Xuan's chance of being fooled is not less than fifty percent." But...... The subordinates were very unimpressed with this practice. In this war, our subordinates think that we are on the side of justice. How can an unrighteous tree bear the fruit of justice? If we adopt this ...... again and again It's not a fair and honest means, what is the point of dealing with unarmed civilians, even if Guo Xuan can be caught? On the other hand, we lost before we could fight. Because we took advantage of the compassion of Guo Xuan, Zhou Chengbin and others......"

"Shut up!" Li Shiqun said angrily: "Your nerd temper is here again!" I really regret letting you read too much! Unable to adapt and inflexible, how can you be a qualified agent if you are so stubborn? Next time, if I hear these nonsensical words again, I will send you to Tilanqiao Prison to reflect on it for three years and two years! ”
