The knock on the door immediately woke Wang Jun in the bookstore.

During the day, the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee held a secret meeting and deployed anti-Japanese struggle under the new situation, providing side support and echoing the Battle of Xuzhou.

Not long after Wang Jun returned to the bookstore, he was still thinking about work in his mind. The sudden knock on the door immediately alerted him.

Get out of bed with a slight hand, open the drawer, take out a Mauser pistol, and close the insurance.

Wang Jun held the gun and gently came to the back door.

"Who is it?" Wang Jun asked softly.

"Boss Wang, it's me, Lao Qian, Qian Xinghuo, and the mother-in-law in Nanshi got Qian Lao San."

Wang Jun's expression changed. This was the emergency contact code that Peng and Ou gave him before leaving Shanghai.

There is a detail: Wang Jun is the name he is using now, and Wang is deliberately mentioned in the code.

Qian Xinghuo is the pseudonym of "Huoba" when the two met for the first time.

This pseudonym only uses the first connector this time.

The day after tomorrow we met with Comrade ‘Flame’, Comrade ‘Flame’ suddenly visited late at night, and there must be something urgent.

...

Wang Jun pulled the door latch.

A squeak.

Opened the door.

The man was wearing a suit and ties, a windbreaker, and the collar of the windbreaker was raised, wearing a top hat, carrying two bottles of wine in one hand and two greased paper bags in the other hand.

Wang Jun immediately recognized that this person was Cheng Qianfan, the chief of the Third Patrol Office of the Central Police Station of the French Concession, and Comrade "Flame".

"Brother Qian, I've come here as soon as I come. Why did you bring something? Come in quickly?" Wang Jun said with a warm smile.

Cheng Qianfan flashed in.

Wang Jun looked outside vigilantly, then closed the door and bolted it.

...

Entering the inner room.

“Comrade ‘Roil’!”

“Comrade 'Dandelion'!”

The two of them held their hands tightly together.

"Comrade Cheng Qianfan!"

"Comrade Wang Jun!"

The two looked at each other and smiled happily.

"Sit down." Comrade Wang Jun greeted warmly.

Cheng Qianfan habitually glanced at the decorations of the house and sat on the chair.

"Comrade 'Flame', I finally saw you." Wang Jun carried the thermos, poured water into the enamel tank, and said with a smile, "Secretary Peng told me that the famous "Supervisor Xiao Cheng" is our comrade, and that is the comrade 'Flame' who saved me once. I can't believe my ears."

"'Control Commander Xiao Cheng' doesn't have any good reputation." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly and said.

"Hahaha." Wang Jun smiled heartily, "No, many comrades hate you to the core."

As they said that, both of them laughed.

"I'm sorry for you, Comrade Fire." Wang Jun said solemnly.

"It's all for revolutionary work, and the division of labor is different." Cheng Qianfan said.

...

"Why did you suddenly come to see me in advance?" Wang Jun knew that Cheng Qianfan came here late at night, so he must have had an urgent matter, so he didn't greet him anymore and asked directly.

"What happened." Cheng Qianfan said, his eyes were sad, "Comrade Dazhuang died."

The smile on Wang Jun's face froze. He stared at Cheng Qianfan in a daze, and his heart hurt.

"Da Zhuang? Sacrifice?" he asked.

"Yeah." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "As I saw with my own eyes, the Japanese military police surrounded Xinsheng Fruit Shop, and Comrade Dazhuang died."

As he said that, Cheng Qianfan whispered to the situation he witnessed.

silence.

Wang Jun was silent all the time, listening to Comrade "Flame" telling the story of the great sacrifice.

After hearing that Dazhuang was shot, he struggled to get up, took the initiative to pounce on the enemy's bayonet, shouting "Long live the people" to be executed heroically.

His eyes turned red.

Dazhuang is the only son of his old leader and comrade-in-arms Comrade Kui Ming.

Comrade Kui Ming fell under the gun of the reactionaries during April 12th.

Now Comrade Kui Ming's only son has also died.

Wang Jun felt extremely sad and panicked.

"Good boy!" Wang Jun opened his mouth and gritted his teeth, "He is as brave as his father!"

Cheng Qianfan was also silent, he did not ask Dazhuang's father who was.

There are too many similar situations. Many of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives held high the banner of their fathers, threw themselves into the torrent of red, threw their heads and blood, and went on one after another, just for the red flag to fly on the land of China, and for the independence, freedom and happiness of the 400 million compatriots.

Isn't he the same?

...

"The Special High School interrogated the owner of Xinsheng Fruit Store and reported the information from Sanbenzilang that he did not think that Xinsheng Fruit Store was a secret stronghold of our party." Cheng Qianfan said.

Wang Jun knew what Cheng Qianfan meant, and he shook his head and said, "Comrade Dazhuang is not on my line. I don't know whether Xinsheng Fruit Shop is a secret base of our party."

"I have a question." Cheng Qianfan said, "Why is it extremely dangerous to arrange Comrade Dazhuang so close to the location of the Special High School Course?"

Wang Jun lit a cigarette, was silent, and took a deep breath, "Before Dazhuang's sacrifice, he was led by Comrade Luo Yannian, I don't know his work situation and tasks, but I will report and feedback on this matter to the organization."

Cheng Qianfan nodded, he understood.

There is no intersection between the various lines in the organization. According to the communication between Comrade Peng and Ou leaving Shanghai, Comrade Wang Jun’s main job is to lead the work of the French Concession Party Group with him as the core. He really does not understand the situation of other comrades on the line.

...

"The one who started the Japanese Special High School. You have met Sanbenshi Lang. Have you received further information from him?" Wang Jun said in a deep voice, "or in other words, do you have any guesses and ideas about Dazhuang's sacrifice."

"I have tested the three times, but he didn't say it clearly." Cheng Qianfan thought, "But I have a guess."

"Oh, what's the guess?"

"This matter should have something to do with Wang Kangnian from the former National Government Party Investigation Office." Cheng Qianfan said.

Then, he explained why he had such speculation.

Sanbenshi Lang suddenly told him that he had a better attitude towards Wang Kangnian. He mentioned that Wang Kangnian was quite capable. Thinking of Dazhuang's sacrifice, Cheng Qianfan immediately had this speculation.

"Wang Kangnian?" Wang Jun pondered, "Your guess is reasonable. When Wang Kangnian was in the National Government Party Investigation Office, he was a stubborn counter-revolutionary with his hands covered with the blood of his comrades."

As he said that, he blew up the ashes, "This person has rich experience in fighting with my underground party, and he is familiar with our party's strategy and habits."

"I think so too." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Wang Kangnian is very sinister and cunning. This person is so familiar with us."

As he said that, Cheng Qianfan angrily punched the table, "Wang Kangnian is extremely hating red, and now he has defected to the Japanese. Such people are extremely harmful and must find a way to get rid of them."

Wang Jun did not speak immediately, but stood up and paced.

After a moment, he looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Comrade 'Flame', please investigate the causes and consequences of Comrade Dazhuang's sacrifice."

As he said that, his eyes showed a firm look, "If it is confirmed that this matter is related to Wang Kangnian, I will report to the 'landlord' in person."

"If necessary, get rid of this person." Wang Jun paused and said.

"Okay!" Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed, "I will investigate this matter secretly."

...

"There's one more thing." Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and said slowly.

He reported to Wang Jun that Lang intended to approach Zheng Weilong and took the opportunity to invade the Shanghai Station of the Lixing Society Special Service Office.

"This matter has both pros and cons. Overall, the pros outweigh the disadvantages." Wang Jun said after thinking for a moment.

"Talk about the drawbacks first."

"For underground lurkers, an additional layer of identity also means that you have to face a more complex situation and the possibility of exposure is greater." Wang Jun extinguished the cigarette and said.

"But you are in a special situation." He pondered, "because you have the identity of a secret service. If you invade the Lixing Society secret service as a Japanese agent, it will actually provide a certain degree of protection for your secret service agent."

As he said that, he frowned slightly, "The only problem is that there is a degree in this, which you need to grasp by yourself."

He looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Comrade 'Flame', this also means that you must be more vigilant and careful when you act in the future."
