After An Gonggen's people rebelled and defected to the Japanese, the Japanese kept it secret. When arresting "fugitives", they only kept talking about arresting Communists.
This was done to muddy the waters, not only to offend the Kuomintang, but also to protect the spy. However, An Gonggen quickly got hold of the information after the incident and knew who was their internal spy.
The manhunt outside has not yet ended, and An Gonggen and his three men are still hiding in Lu Ming's apartment in Wanguo Apartment.
This is a restricted area for both the police station and the Japanese who are searching outside. Unless a murder occurs in the building, the police may enter the apartment to handle the case.
According to Lu Ming's agreement, Badawan Restaurant delivers meals on time every day, including wine, meat, chicken and fish, which is very rich.
An Gonggen and the others had never seen anyone delivering food. When they heard a knock on the door, they went out to check after half a minute. Four food boxes and a small jug of wine were placed in front of the door.
After they finished eating and drinking, they cleaned the food boxes and put them in front of the door. They didn't know when they would be taken away.
The four of them did not dare to show up in the building easily. The apartment was mostly occupied by regulars. If a strange face appeared, it would arouse suspicion from others, and someone might even call the police.
"Master Lu is really rich, and the meal he ordered for us is really good." One of An Gonggen's men sighed while eating and drinking.
They have been living a hard life, and having fish and meat every day is a very luxurious thing. The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea has almost no industry, and it mainly depends on funding from various parties to live, and every penny has to be spent.
"Don't be too happy too early. These are all debts, and one day we will have to risk our lives to repay them." An Gonggen said coldly.
"What's the matter? You'll have to die sooner or later anyway. Paying debts with your life is also our way of serving the motherland."
"So, if there is something delicious to eat now, eat it and drink something good to drink." Another person laughed.
These three people are indeed nothing to be afraid of. According to the assassination plan, their mission is to accompany Shigeru Honzo to the underworld. Now that they have escaped, they have saved their lives and lived again, which is considered to be something they have earned.
"Captain, how long should we hide? We can't stay here forever." One person said anxiously.
"Why, are you impatient and want to go out and die?" An Gonggen gave him a cold look.
"No, I'm a little worried about Sister Chunyue. We are all hiding in this safe house, but Sister Chunyue is outside. I don't know if there is any danger."
"Take care of yourself, I have my own arrangements with Zheng Chunyue." An Gonggen said in a deep voice.
Of course, An Gonggen was also worried about Zheng Chunyue. He originally asked her to move with him, but Zheng Chunyue refused, saying that she wanted to help them find information outside. She believed that she could protect herself.
At this moment, a person responsible for monitoring the window suddenly shouted: "Captain, no, please come and take a look."
"What's wrong? What a fuss." An Gonggen said dissatisfied.
"Come here quickly, there's a signal coming from outside: Sister Chunyue has been arrested." The man exclaimed.
"what happened?"
An Gonggen and others jumped up in surprise, and two others drew their pistols.
An Gonggen came to the window and looked at a low building opposite. The lights in one building flickered on and off. That was Morse code, and the message passed was: Zheng Chunyue was arrested.
"Captain, let us go out, we have to save Sister Chunyue, even if we risk our lives!" one person said excitedly.
"Save? How to save her? Do you know who caught her? Where is she being held?" An Gonggen said sharply.
"Then you can't just ignore her. That's Sister Chunyue." One person burst into tears.
"Of course we have to save, but if we go out like this now, we can only deliver ourselves into the hands of the Japanese. Not only will we not be able to save Zheng Chunyue, but we will confirm her crime." After all, An Gonggen is an old revolutionary and an old killer.
, I have experienced this kind of thing a lot, and I can still keep a cool head at critical moments.
He has always been in single-line contact with Zheng Chunyue, and the scope of his knowledge of Zheng Chunyue's identity is very small, at least not that of the traitor who rebelled and surrendered to the enemy.
So who told the secret? Is there a spy hidden inside?
The three people in the room all knew the relationship between Zheng Chunyue and him. They were the ones who made the bomb with Zheng Chunyue. However, since they escaped from the Japanese Concession, they had been under their noses and would not and had no chance to betray Zheng Chunyue.
"Captain, let us go out, and we will know who has arrested Sister Chunyue and where she is being held. We can throw away our lives, but Sister Chunyue cannot die?" Another person said passionately.
"I know that everyone's life is equally important, and no one can die in vain." An Gonggen said sternly.
After a while, the lights in the room opposite came on again and again, it was Morse code: a trap.
"As expected, they couldn't find us, so they arrested Zheng Chunyue in order to lure us out," An Gonggen said.
"Then we can't stop going out just because of this, or we may die."
"That's it, captain, let us get out. If we are caught, we will commit suicide immediately and we will not reveal the secrets."
"Just stay here. If you go out now, it won't do anything except die." An Gonggen said.
"Then what should we do? Can we just watch Sister Chunyue die for us?"
"There is only one way to go, please ask Mr. Lu for help." An Gonggen sighed.
He didn't want to trouble Lu Ming again and again. This was a debt of gratitude that would have to be repaid in the future. As he said, people would have to use their lives to repay this debt of favor in the future.
But there is really no other way, so let’s pay the debt first.
The first thing An Gonggen thought of was Zhang Ziyang. He had a closer relationship with Ziyang than Lu Ming. Moreover, Zhang Ziyang was also the detective of the police station, so he probably had better information.
He had "tied" Zhang Ziyang and entertained him with delicious food and drinks for many days. The two of them were like brothers, but now they had to contact Zhang Ziyang through Lu Ming.
He picked up the phone and asked the operator to get through to Lu Ming Detective Agency.
Lu Ming was sleeping soundly on the sofa. He dreamed of playing with Sheng Muyi, the Mingzhu sisters, Zhang Ziyang, and Sheng Di in his hometown when he was a child. In his dream, they were swimming in a big river, and suddenly a big wave hit him.
When he fell to the bottom of the river, he was frightened and still wondering why the river was churning with waves.
He was startled and woke up, just in time to hear the rapid ringing of the phone, so he hurriedly got up and went to pick up the phone.
"Mr. Lu, it's me. I need your help, and I will use my life to repay you in the future." An Gonggen spoke very hastily.
"Keep your life, I don't want it. If you kill a few more Japanese, you can repay my debt." Lu Ming hasn't fully woken up yet, but he also knows that An Gonggen is not an ignorant person, so he woke up in the middle of the night.
If you call me, it must be an urgent matter.
"Zheng Chunyue has been arrested. Please find out who caught her. If she can be rescued, please rescue her. If you have any difficulties, tell us the specific situation and we will rescue her."
"Zheng Chunyue was arrested? Is your news true?" Lu Ming's brain was a little short-circuited and he didn't understand it for a while.
