Seeing that Tanaka Katsuei was escorted away, Tian Chengxi came in and reported: "Director Li, I have already transported the things I need on your orders. The two subordinates who investigated the situation of Kong Wenqing's family also had definite information: Kong Wenqing's mother and younger brother had been very low-key since they returned to their hometowns. That area, which was already in the 'tug-of-war area' fought for by several forces, was occupied by the Chongqing government's 89th Army last month. After investigation, Kong Wenqing's family was not hostile, rectified, and did not receive additional care. ”

Li Shiqun said: "I know. You and Liu Zezhi will take people to arrange it. Wait for Secretary Ni's news first, and let's start after dinner. ”

In the wing room, Liu Zezhi was in a daze at the things that Tian Chengxi had transported, and when he saw him come in, he immediately asked: "Captain Tian, I thought you brought something good, you moved the torture room of No. 76 over?" Why bother? Isn't it the same who is going to be tried and sent back for trial? ”

"Everything moved here? Didn't you just pick a few commonly used ones? This is Director Li's order. The director said that you should help me assemble it quickly, maybe I will use it immediately. ”

Liu Zezhi's heart was heavy, of course this was prepared for Kong Wenqing. At noon, he got in touch with Xu Jianxue in the name of ordering food. If there is no accident, Zhou Chengbin should have received the two pieces of news he passed on at this time: Kong Wenqing is about to be exposed; Zhao Jingdong is about to return to Shanghai from Beiping.

Kong Wenqing knew his identity, and finally Xu Jianxue said: If you feel tired from work and want to come to me to rest, I will wait for you at any time. The meaning of this sentence is to remind him to consider whether he needs to retreat. Xu Jianxue proposed this as he expected. At this time, when he retreated back to Chongqing, no one could say a word about military law and family law, or whether it was reasonable or reasonable.

Since Li Shiqun's interrogation, the moment Kong Wenqing revealed all kinds of flaws, the word retreat has been hovering in his mind. The defections of Li Li, Li Zhiyong, Ruan Bo, and Duan Wentao are too profound lessons. Once someone who knows your identity falls into the hands of an opponent, no matter what choice he will make, evacuate as soon as possible. This is the most basic common sense of a lurking undercover agent. How could he not know?

Zhou Chengbin was arrested a year ago, and he had already violated the discipline of lurking once, not only did he not evacuate, but he did not even keep silent. Instead, he risked disobedience and rescue with Guo Xuan. That's because he estimated that the probability that Zhou Chengbin could resist torture was more than seventy percent. That time was also an adventure, risking with his own life, he and Guo Xuan succeeded by luck. This time, he was not sure whether God would continue to favor him.

The third reconstruction of Shanghai Station has just begun, and this time Zhou Chengbin has lost the support and base of the third column, and is in an unprecedented predicament. If he evacuates at this time, Zhou Chengbin will be completely in the unfavorable situation of fighting alone. Liu Zezhi has a heart: for an undercover agent, the value after retreat is equal to zero. Yang Shuang, Xie Chengxin, Hou Xin and others sacrificed their lives for the country, how dare he descend? Don't give up until the last minute! Isn't it just a life? This life did not have Zhou Chengbin to raise his noble hand because of trust when he was in Vietnam; After not making the mistake of impulsively killing people, Guo Xuan ordered Ruan Bo to cover the aftermath; didn't take care of himself in a crisis, Zhou Chengbin sent Dai Ru to kill He Yongxin to extinguish his mouth, and he didn't know how many times he died! This life is no longer his own.

Watching several guards install torture equipment, Liu Zezhi saw that there was no one around, and said to Tian Chengxi: "Are these torture instruments prepared for the interrogation of Kong Wenqing?" ”

Tian Chengxi smiled: "Here it is again, why do you care so much?" Whatever the director tells us to do, we can do it. ”

Liu Zezhi sighed: "He is my classmate, although he ...... After that, they didn't pay much attention to me...... But...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

Xu Jianxue and Ji Qun came to Puji Temple, and Xu Jianxue said with a smile: "There are so many stone steps, I'm tired of walking." There is also a vegetarian restaurant here, Sister Ji, let's have a cup of tea first and then go to Master Wuchen to discuss the matter. ”

Ji Qun replied: "Miss, you rest here, I'll go buy some incense and candles first, and I always have to give incense to the Bodhisattva when I come here." I'll be back to you in a moment. ”

Zhou Chengbin personally served tea, and Xu Jianxue got up and took it with both hands: "Sins and sins, there is Master Lao." Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered the information that Liu Zezhi asked him to relay.

Zhou Chengbin was slightly taken aback and asked, "Kong Wenqing exposed?" What's going on? Liu Zezhi should be evacuated immediately! Why did he only send you to relay information, but he stayed at No. 76?

Xu Jianxue said: "I have reminded him on the phone, but Zezhi refused. I guess he has his considerations, right? He once said: The order he received was to go undercover 76, and he would die there. ”

Zhou Chengbin sighed that this brother of his own, who looks gentle and elegant on the outside, is stubborn and gives people a headache in the face of major rights and wrongs. He asked, "Under what pretext did you come?" Can I go back? ”

"The real Xu Jianxue's ex-husband, Lieutenant Kurata, will have a twenty-seven month mourning period, and it will expire next month. I came to you in the name of preserving a ritual at Puji Temple. I don't know if I can go back, so I'll leave it to you. ”

If Liu Zezhi is arrested, Xu Jianxue must be evacuated, and even himself and Yang Jun, who is undercover in Yicheng Trading Company, must also be evacuated. Liu Wu can't take the initiative to contact now, and he will move his whole body, what should he do? At present, there is no way to contact Liu Zezhi again and persuade him to change his opinion. But evacuate...... This means that the newly rebuilt Shanghai station is paralyzed again.

He habitually closed his eyes and thought about it, and finally made up his mind: "Jianxue, three kilometers east from here, there is a nunnery, you take Ji Qun to borrow it for two days." It is said to the outside world that the recent rituals of Puji Temple are full, and I recommend you to go there. The old nun in the nunnery is very greedy for money, if you give her a few more money, tell her that the two of you will borrow a few days to fast and eat vegetarian food, and pray for the blessing of the deceased husband, she will definitely agree. If Zezhi is not in danger, I will let him pick you up in person in four days. If he and I don't show up after four days, you and Ji Qun will leave Shanghai immediately and return to Chongqing. I'll do the rest. ”

Xu Jianxue nodded and agreed: "I know, then what should you do?" ”

Zhou Chengbin smiled gently: "You don't have to worry about me. Take care of yourself, and don't forget that Guo Xuan is still waiting for you to reunite in Chongqing. ”

Hearing Zhou Chengbin mention her husband who was far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, Xu Jianxue was moved and felt sad. Guo Xuan, in your heart, in addition to the family and the country, brotherhood? Is there a place for me? You've been back for so long, have you ever thought about letting me try to get back to you?

At six o'clock in the evening of the 28th, in the No. 76 safe room, Liu Zezhi and others accompanied Li Shiqun to dine. The guard came in and reported: "Director Li, Secretary Ni is here." He said that he was ordered by you. ”

"Let him in."

Ni Xin walked in with a scroll: "Director, on your orders, I got the permission of General Kagesa Zhenzhao to let Kagesa Taro see this portrait. The kid was reluctant to cooperate at first, but I coaxed him for a long time and tried my best to get out of his words. But the child was so young, and it had been so long, Taro only said that compared to me, the uncle in the painting was more like the uncle who gave him a toy green horse. I wanted to set the child's words again. General Kagesa's wife directly issued an eviction order. There is no way for subordinates to ......"

Li Shiqun put down his chopsticks, rubbed his temples, and said, "This is enough." You've worked hard. ”

Ni Xin asked: "Director, No. 76 is still in a state of emergency, and all the people are on standby. Director Wen is alone...... His subordinates were afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of him. In particular, Director Tanaka has been locked up for several days, and his subordinates have not had time to complete the handover. Do you think your subordinates will go back first? ”

"No! Have you forgotten the rules of the safe room? ”

Ni Xin didn't dare to insist, and responded: "Yes." ”

Li Shiqun got up and said, "You can end the matter here tonight." Have you finished eating? Let's get to work after eating. ”

Everyone hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up together and replied, "I'm done." Please ask the director to command. ”

Li Shiqun left Tian Chengxi by his side and ordered the guards to escort Kong Wenqing. Liu Zezhi and Ni Xin glanced at each other and quietly returned to the Westinghouse. Yamaki Ryuzo turned around and left the safe room.

Li Shiqun asked: "Kong Wenqing, I'll give you a chance, you tell me honestly: You 'happened to meet' Liu Zezhi, Ni Xin and others outside the Western restaurant, did the military commander in No. 76 go undercover to tell you about their whereabouts in advance, and Zhou Chengbin designed a bitter plan?" ”

Kong Wenqing chuckled in his heart, his face changed slightly, and then he replied: "Director Li's words, I don't understand?" ”

"Don't understand? Okay, so let's move on. Secretary Ni secretly telegraphed you to convey my order, ordering you to participate in the rescue of Tanaka Katsuei. What happened later, did Guo Xuan ask Dai Li or Mao Renfeng to set up a bureau, so that you could plan and have the opportunity to go back to Shanghai to go undercover in the headquarters of the Imperial Army Occupation Army as a rescue hero? ”

At this time, Kong Wenqing had barely calmed down and replied, "Director Li, why do you think so?!" What bureau? I don't understand! ”

"Then I'll make it clear: Mao Renfeng deliberately let Tanaka Shengei go, just so that you can go undercover in the headquarters of the Shanghai Imperial Army with the credit of rescuing him, right?"

"How is this possible? Even if I can get into the headquarters, I'm still a little footfoot. But Tanaka-kun is a big fish, and let him go, just so that I can lurk. This is a loss-making business, and the people in the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau are not stupid, so they will not even be able to weigh the severity. ”

Li Shiqun sneered: "That's because under the torture of Tanaka Katsuei, he has defected and surrendered to the military command, right?" "In fact, there is another possibility: the value of the exposed undercover agent will immediately return to zero. People like Katsuei Tanaka are no exception. But Li Shiqun had already become suspicious of Tanaka Katsuei and automatically ruled out this possibility.

Tian Chengxi, who was present, was taken aback. In advance, he thought that Kong Wenqing might have a problem, but he didn't think about Tanaka Katsuei.

In the room on the west side, Ni Xin, who heard it vaguely, was also stunned: Is this possible? He looked back to see Liu Zezhi's reaction

, I saw Liu Zezhi leaning on the head of the bed, eating orchid beans and flipping through the newspaper. Apparently not paying attention to the movement outside.

Hearing this, Kong Wenqing was taken aback, and hurriedly distinguished: "Director Li, your association power is too rich...... How can it be? Tanaka-kun was the finest samurai of the Great Japanese Empire. You are in a high position, no matter how you misunderstand and wronged me, you can do it, and I can't help it. But it seems wrong for you to speculate so much about Tanaka-kun, right? Director Li, I'm not from No. 76, if you think I have a problem, please also hand me over to General Kagezo to deal with it, so that it is in order. ”

Kong Wenqing's words were extremely disrespectful. Li Shiqun was not angry, and sneered: "I can tell you clearly: if you don't tell the truth today, it is impossible to get out of this courtyard alive." Teacher and student, I don't want to make things too desperate, so I'll give you a reminder: Ichikage Sataro has already recognized you as the person who gave him the toy green horse when Zhou Chengbin made a big fuss at the headquarters. Second, as soon as you arrived in Shanghai, you hurriedly sent your family away. And they were not severely reprimanded at the Chongqing government's 89th Army garrison because of their status as traitors' families. Is it reasonable that you are a rebel general of the military commander? Third, with your skills, if Guo Xuan doesn't cooperate, can you kidnap him? If the military commander really pursues and kills, the chances of you and the seriously injured Tanaka Katsuei escaping back unscathed are basically zero. Fourth, Ruan Bo's hiding place is only known to Tanaka Shengrong and Ni Xin, where did Zhou Chengbin know about it? Do you need me to go on? ”

Kong Wenqing replied: "Director Li is very knowledgeable, and he has always heard the story of his neighbor stealing an axe, right?" You're in that state right now. Whatever you have done is suspicious in your eyes. Wen Qing has a clear conscience. ”
