At this time, there were very few vehicles and pedestrians on the street. The surrounding area was empty and quiet. A little breeze blew Zuo Shaoqing's hair on her forehead. But in her heart, she was thinking and judging quickly.
Such a situation before her could not help but make her doubtful, and even doubt whether she had heard correctly. She slowly turned to the frail woman. She had a fair face, a pointed chin, and a pair of beautiful and calm eyes.
Zuo Shaoqing asked blankly: "What did you say?"
The frail woman looked at her and smiled, but still said casually: "Excuse me, what time is it now?"
She still said it so casually, and didn't seem to have any special intention. But Zuo Shaoqing could clearly see a delicate Kun watch on her wrist, and she could even read the time on it clearly.[
She tried her best to say calmly: "Where is your watch?"
The frail woman smiled again and said softly: "My watch is not accurate, and I don't know whether it is faster or slower."
Zuo Shaoqing stiffly raised his wrist and looked at it for a full minute before saying, "It's a quarter past sixteen."
The frail woman looked at her watch happily and said, "Oh, my watch is six minutes slow."
This frail woman was Zuo Shaoqing's first contact after arriving in this country.
At the bus stop, the two women did not wait for the bus anymore, but walked away. Fifteen minutes later, they met in a remote small coffee shop. There are such small coffee shops everywhere in this country.
After they sat down at the table, Zuo Shaoqing held the woman's hand tightly, almost crying with excitement.
The frail woman comforted her in a low voice, "Please calm down. Please also let go of your hand, my hand is about to be broken."
Zuo Shaoqing let go of his hand and tried to control his emotions, "Why didn't you contact me until now? I'm in Taipei and have been waiting for almost seven years!"
The frail woman said softly: "I don't know the specific situation. I guess someone else is doing the work in Taipei, so the superior didn't contact you. The superior asked me to ask, why did you go to Taipei?"
As soon as she heard this, Zuo Shaoqing really had mixed feelings in her heart, and her lips trembled. She tried to calm down and sorted out her thoughts. She whispered: "At that time, I was in the Secrecy Bureau, and I
When the Secrecy Bureau withdrew from Nanjing, the 97th Division of the Kuomintang had not yet started the uprising. I was very hesitant at the time and did not dare to retreat easily for fear of affecting the success of the uprising. Later, I wanted to find my sister."
"You have a younger sister?" the frail woman asked in surprise.
"Yes, she is my twin sister." An uncontrollable smile appeared on Zuo Shaoqing's face, "She is also my only relative in this world. I want this sister."
"What does she do?" The frail woman looked at her calmly.
"She is also in the Secrecy Bureau."
"She is also in the Secrecy Bureau?" The frail woman looked at her in surprise.
"Yes. But she and I were not together. Later, she was arranged by the Secrecy Bureau to lurk in the country. I really want to find this sister, and I am very worried about her. If she is caught by our people..." Zuo Shaoqing was in pain
He shook his head, "Then it's all over. I hope you understand what I mean."
The frail woman nodded, "So that's it. I can understand your mood. I will report this matter to my superiors."
This was Zuo Shaoqing's first contact person. In Metz's words, it was a woman. She never knew what this woman's name was. Later, she heard others call her "Doctor Mei". She didn't know this "Mei"
"Is it her last name or first name? But in her heart, she still calls her a "weak woman". She looks really thin, almost frail. This woman reminds her of Lin Wenxiu back then. Even Lin Wenxiu is better than
She is stronger.[
Later, it was Lao Huang who contacted her. Until yesterday afternoon, she asked Lao Huang to disappear as soon as possible.
So, the question arises. Zuo Shaoqing can't help but wonder, how could Metz know about this frail woman?
In Zuo Shaoqing's opinion, the weak woman seems to be the person in charge of this area. Old Huang is also her subordinate. So, the source of Metz's intelligence cannot be anyone else, it must be "Water Hyacinth".
God, "Water Hyacinth" not only wants to cooperate with Ye Gongjin to kill her, but also destroys all party organizations in this area! "Water Hyacinth" must have told Metz this information, and may even have told Ye Gongjin.
Danger! Danger! This danger was hanging over her head like a knife.
Zuo Shaoqing, who was extremely uneasy, walked around the dormitory, analyzing the situation in her mind. She could feel that not only she, but also the frail woman known as Dr. Mei, and the underground organization she led, were all worried.
We are in danger and there is no time to delay.
What should she do? But she has no choice now.
She looked down at her watch. It was almost half past three. There was a training class at four o'clock. Lieutenant Colonel McCann had assigned her a task. She had to go. She tried to calm down her mood and prepare for the training class.
.
At four o'clock, when Zuo Shaoqing walked into the classroom, all the officers were present. The atmosphere in the classroom today was completely different from yesterday's. Everyone's face looked gloomy and wary.
Zuo Shaoqing was still sitting on the table as usual, looking at the officers in front of her. She asked: "I want to know, have you all read today's newspaper?"
The officers' faces became more gloomy, and they did not nod or speak. The classroom was a little depressed and uneasy.
Zuo Shaoqing nodded calmly, "Okay, this is our case today. Let's try it out. What clues do we have and what situation do we have? And what should we do?"
Captain Aben stood up slowly, "Mattem, according to the newspaper, it was the Chinese who assassinated Mr. Ruan Qibo. People from mainland China. What do you think of this matter?"
Zuo Shaoqing nodded to him, "Captain Aben, I am indeed Chinese. But you must know that I am not the same thing as them. Do you have anything else to say?"
Captain Aben shook his head and sat down on the chair.
Zuo Shaoqing looked at everyone, "Okay, let's discuss it."
Someone on the seat began to mutter: "We have long heard that Ruan Qibo is more inclined to the Soviet Union."
"I heard that he once studied in the Soviet Union and met many important people."
"That's right, why were they assassinated by Chinese agents? Aren't the Chinese and the Soviets on the same team? Why would they kill pro-Soviet people?"
"Is it possible that Mr. Ruan is no longer so close to the Soviet Union?"
"I have no such information, and I have never heard that Mr. Ruan turned against the Soviets."
"Don't forget that the Soviets and the Chinese have always supported the Northern Alliance. They have always wanted to devour us!" [
"Then it's even more strange. Why was Mr. Ruan killed by the Chinese?"
The classroom was chaotic, everyone was arguing with each other. Some people even told what they knew.
Zuo Shaoqing remained calm and listened quietly, only interjecting occasionally to guide their discussion. There is no doubt that the army, these people can almost represent the army, are full of doubts about this matter. If Mr. McCann hears
This situation will definitely not make you happy. But on the other hand, everyone is afraid of the Soviets, afraid of the Chinese, and afraid that the Northern Alliance they support will swallow up the south.
Captain Aben stood up again and said loudly: "Mattem, last night, we went to the city hall to perform a mission. We stayed overnight, but this morning, a dead body was found in the bathroom. Mattem, after verification, this
He is a Chinese, and he is a Chinese we are monitoring."
Everyone wondered how the Chinese could be involved in this matter.
"Is it from Taiwan or Mainland China?" someone asked.
Captain Aben nodded to the man, "It's Mattem from Taiwan, is he your colleague?"
Zuo Shaoqing shook his head, "I've heard about the incident you mentioned. Lieutenant Colonel McCann told me. But I don't know what happened. How could anyone from Taiwan get involved in this matter?"
Where is it?"
A-Liang Branch Chief stood up and handed Zuo Shaoqing a photo, "Mattem, this is what we discovered this morning. We investigated and found that this is also a Chinese."
Zuo Shaoqing took a closer look at the photo. Behind a dirty and tattered trash bin, there was a bloody corpse. The man was bald and slightly fat. Zuo Shaoqing recognized him at a glance. He was Lao Huang.
A chill rose in her heart. She now believed that this was the result of collusion between Ye Gongjin and "Water Hyacinth". She felt burning in her chest, pregnant with murderous intent.
She restrained herself and calmly handed the photo to the people around her, "Please pass it around to each other. Has anyone seen this person? Does anyone know anything about this person?"
The photos were passed around in the hands of the officers. But everyone shook their heads and couldn't say anything. Now they only know that this is another Chinese, and he may also be involved in last night's incident. They feel that it seems to be everywhere
Chinese.
At six o'clock, the training class ended and the officers left the classroom talking to each other.
Zuo Shaoqing summarized the results of the entire discussion in his mind. The officers were full of questions and even doubts about Ruan Qibo's death. There were Chinese people everywhere in this matter, but no one could figure out why. Such a result,
Lieutenant Colonel McCann would certainly not be happy.
Zuo Shaoqing left the classroom, went to the restaurant to have dinner, and then returned to the dormitory.
She sat on the chair like a wooden sculpture, half-squinting her eyes and letting the cigarettes linger in front of her face.
She was very anxious. She didn't expect that Lao Huang had been killed and he had not had time to disappear. There is no doubt that this was the result of the collusion between Ye Gongjin and "Water Hyacinth" and the work of Ye Gongjin's people. And Mei Si knew that she had a
The contact person was a woman. She could completely imagine that Ye Gongjin and Mei Si must be colluding. She felt that this weak woman named Dr. Mei was extremely dangerous at this time.
Zuo Shaoqing is a very cautious person. After she met the frail woman for the first time, she did not go far. She came back quietly and followed the frail woman. The frail woman kept walking and then turned into a small street. She walked
Go to the door of a small building, take out the key, open the door, and quietly disappear through the door.
It was here that she heard someone greet the frail woman and call her "Doctor Mei."
Zuo Shaoqing observed that this was a small private clinic. There was a red cross sign hanging at the door. The doors of the small building and the curtains inside were all white. No wonder the frail woman was so tidy. She turned out to be the doctor of this clinic.
.People nearby must know her and call her Dr. Mei.
