In the two days after Du Ziyuan arrived in Phnom Penh, he sat motionless in a small hotel room hidden deep in a back alley like a wooden sculpture. ( )
On the first day, Qin Donghai carefully reported to him the situation after arriving in Vietnam. He said: "The Mei Group was completely destroyed, and A Zhu was the only survivor."
Afterwards, Du Ziyuan called A Zhu to him and asked carefully about the last appearance of Dr. Mei and another woman at the contact station. He asked very carefully, guiding A Zhu bit by bit to recall and reveal the remaining memories in his mind.
Finally, he finally came to the conclusion that the woman was most likely Zuo Shaoqing. Zuo Shaoqing was most likely carrying an extremely important piece of information, or something similar. What exactly was it? He and Qin Donghai
It is difficult to judge. How important this thing on Zuo Shaoqing is. There is a proof: Pan Qiwu, deputy director of the Taiwan Intelligence Bureau, personally brought people to Phnom Penh, it must be for this thing. In addition, Metz also came to Phnom Penh!
Du Ziyuan was worried. The situation was much more complicated than he imagined. He needed to think carefully. During these two days, only two people could enter this small room to report to him every day. One was Qin Donghai and the other was Phnom Penh Intelligence
Chi Hong, the leader of the group.[
The black A-Zhu sat under the eaves outside the door, motionless like a wooden sculpture. He would stop one of them and say, "Wait a moment." Then he would enter the small room, stretching his slender
Looking at Du Ziyuan's neck.
Du Ziyuan came back from his thoughts, looked at him and asked, "Who is it?"
A Zhu said: "It's Brother Qin." Or, "It's Uncle Chi."
Du Ziyuan took a breath and said, "Let him in."
Du Ziyuan asked Qin Donghai, "What is Metz doing?"
Qin Donghai whispered: "In the past two days, he has been in the room. He did not go out and no one came."
Du Ziyuan asked worriedly: "Donghai, the girl from SAARC you mentioned said that two English-speaking people mentioned on the phone that there are three of us."
Qin Donghai immediately said: "Yes, that's what she said. I was really shocked at the time."
Du Ziyuan asked: "Will Metz be one of them?"
Qin Donghai thought seriously for a moment, "Lao Du, I think he is not only here, but he is here for you."
Du Ziyuan nodded, "I've thought of this too."
Sometimes, Du Ziyuan would ask Chi Hong: "What are the people from Taiwan doing?"
Chi Hong whispered: "They have been active. They are in contact with a guard named A Ge in the prison."
At this time, Du Ziyuan raised his head and looked at him intently, "Have they concluded the negotiation?"
Chi Hong said: "So far, not yet."
Du Ziyuan fell silent and fell into his own thoughts. He was calculating. Like a general on the battlefield, calculating his tactics step by step, the final result he saw was not what he expected. So,
He could only recalculate, new tactics, new formations, and new strategies. Du Ziyuan's purpose was actually very simple. He just wanted to be one step ahead of Pan Qiwu or Metz and rescue Zuo Shaoqing. One step ahead of them.
However, it was always not perfect. He was anxious and uneasy about this.
Chi Hong said: "Lao Du, I have already contacted a guard. He promised to help us take out Zuo Shaoqing's backpack."
Du Ziyuan raised his head, stared at him, and examined him. He said, "Call Long Jinyun."
Long Jinyun was summoned to Du Ziyuan's small room. She sat down opposite Du Ziyuan and looked at him quietly. It was Chi Hong who explained the task to her.[
"Comrade Xiaolong," Chi Hong said softly: "Tomorrow morning, a small truck from a laundry company will go to the prison to collect clothes. It is not the clothes of the prisoners, but mainly the clothes of the guards, sheets, tabletops, etc. You will
Dress up as a laundress and ride in a truck to collect clothes from the prison."
Long Jinyun's face was a little pale. She didn't expect that she would enter a prison. Prison was a place out of reach for her. She asked softly: "What next?"
Chi Hong continued: "Finally, a guard will bring out a bag of clothes. Zuo Shaoqing's backpack is in this bag of clothes. You have to give this to him." Chi Hong put a stack of banknotes on the table.
Arrive in front of Long Jinyun. "Comrade Xiaolong, you have to check Zuo Shaoqing's backpack as soon as possible and find something important. As for what it is, I don't know, no one knows. But this thing is very important, very, very important.
! Whatever you find, stick it in a gap under the trunk panel. No one will find that gap. That's where we hide our stuff."
Long Jinyun opened her mouth and looked at him in surprise. She really wanted to ask why this was happening. But she didn't dare to ask, especially when she saw Du Ziyuan's face.
Du Ziyuan's face was solemn. He said: "Chi Hong, you have to keep an eye on this truck until it comes back safely."
Chi Hong nodded to him, "Yes, I will definitely."
Du Ziyuan was very uneasy, but he didn't show it. Metz was in Phnom Penh. Pan Qiwu, the deputy director of the Taiwan Intelligence Bureau, was also in Phnom Penh. He had a hunch that things would never be that simple. He needed to consider his next move.
The next morning, it was just dawn. Chi Hong led Long Jinyun into a large courtyard.
Before that, Chi Hong rubbed her hair again and again until it was a mess, as if she had just climbed out of bed. Next, Chi Hong grabbed her hair unceremoniously and pressed her face against the
He rubbed it back and forth against the dirty wall a few times, and then used his big hands to rub her face a few times, turning her into a sloppy washerwoman.
There are rows of wooden piles in the large yard, and silent hemp ropes are pulled on the wooden piles, stretching arc-shaped lines in the air. In the corner of the yard, a black pressurized water well stands quietly. Pressure
There are drainage ditches on the cement floor near the well. There are many wooden and iron basins scattered on the cement floor. Each basin is filled with clothes to be washed.
This is a small laundry company. The day's laundry work has not yet begun.
Chi Hong led Long Jinyun to a small truck. The owner of the laundry was already sitting in the cab, nodding to them loudly. Chi Hong asked Long Jinyun to climb into the truck and whispered:
"You need to calm down."
Long Jinyun tried his best to smile at him and waved to him. The truck roared out of the laundry.
The truck was speeding along the quiet streets at dawn. Long Jinyun was sitting in the back compartment, bumping up and down. Half an hour later, the truck drove into the gate of the Phnom Penh National Prison.
Under the guidance of the guard, the truck drove to the north side of the prison building, where there was a back door. The guard waved his hand and asked the laundry owner to turn the truck around and face the back door. The guard signaled the truck to stop, and he entered the back door.
A few minutes later, some female prisoners came out with bags of clothes and threw them in the truck compartment.
Long Jinyun looked at them nervously and packed these clothes into the carriage.
She was suddenly startled. She saw a fair-skinned female prisoner coming out from behind. Her expression and appearance did not look like a prisoner in this prison. Long Jinyun stared at the woman closely.
The woman who came out last noticed Long Jinyun's gaze and looked at her attentively. The woman slowed down obviously and even glanced to both sides. She slowly picked up her clothes and bags and prepared to throw them into the carriage.
Long Jinyun didn't have time to think about it. She grabbed the bag in the woman's hand and asked nervously: "Left, left, right?"
Zuo Shaoqing was indeed shocked. She stared at Long Jinyun sternly and did not answer.
At this time, the female prisoner behind came out again holding her clothes and bags. Zuo Shaoqing heard the footsteps and could only turn around and leave.[
While Long Jinyun was receiving the clothes and bags, she was nervously thinking about what she should say.
Looking back on this incident afterwards, it was no wonder that Long Jinyun was there. Even Du Ziyuan did not expect that she would see Zuo Shaoqing here. Therefore, he did not make any explanation to Long Jinyun. This explanation was actually a code word, which could be obtained with one sentence
The code word of trust. When Dr. Mei meets Zuo Shaoqing on the street, Zuo Shaoqing meets Zhang Yalan, and Guo Chongmu, they all need a code word. This code word shows your identity and shows that you can be trusted.
However, Long Jinyun had no experience and no secret words. No matter what she said, she would not win Zuo Shaoqing's trust. So when Zuo Shaoqing came out again holding her clothes and bags, she whispered: "Waiting for rescue, please wait."
rescue."
But Zuo Shaoqing didn't seem to hear him. He threw his clothes and bags into the truck, turned around and left.
These two sentences that Long Jinyun thought were quite reasonable seemed to be the most severe warning in Zuo Shaoqing's ears. She knew that she had been targeted for a long time. She was hunted down on the first day she arrived in Phnom Penh.
The words "waiting for rescue" almost said to her ears: "Just wait, I will kill you as soon as I am ready!" In fact, it was Long Jinyun's words that prompted Zuo Shaoqing to
Take jailbreaking action in advance.
After the female prisoners went in, they never came out again. Long Jinyun looked at the small door anxiously.
Finally, a guard came out of the back door. He also held a clothes bag in his arms. On his dark face, a pair of eyes stared at Long Jinyun gloomily, and he walked slowly to the back of the truck. But he did not take the clothes bag.
Leave it to Long Jinyun. He just stared at her with a gloomy look.
Long Jinyun suddenly woke up. She saw the guard stretching out a hand from under the bag. She immediately took out the wad of money from her pocket, put it in his hand, and then quickly grabbed the bag.
The guards seemed unwilling to let go. They pulled for a while before he finally let go and quickly escaped through the back door.
Long Jinyun could hardly breathe. She patted the roof of the cab hard. The truck roared and drove slowly outside the prison gate. She desperately restrained herself not to touch the clothes and bag.
At the prison gate, a guard jumped on the truck, rummaged through the bags to make sure there was no one hiding under them, and then waved the truck out of the gate.
The laundry company's pickup truck slowly drove out of the prison gate. In Long Jinyun's mind, the pickup truck drove extremely slowly onto the street.
At this time, Jiang Shanyan's car stopped outside the prison gate. The guard named A Ge got out of the car and walked quickly to the prison. Jiang Shanyan looked at the small truck driving past and the people on the truck.
The nervous washerwoman had a moment of uncontrollable doubt in her heart...
