Liu Qiuyue reached out and picked up the electric key in front of Liu Xi and put it into her pocket. She whispered: "Sit still and don't move."
She stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Fanbing and went to the outhouse with him.
She and Xiao Fanbing walked to the door where Liu Xi couldn't see and took out the message to show him. Xiao Fanbing glanced at it and his eyes widened. The message was very short: "Team Wei, I hereby order your team to act according to the instructions of Water Hyacinth. Do not
error."
Xiao Fanbing stared at Liu Qiuyue with wide eyes. Liu Qiuyue held out a finger to stop him from making a sound, but her eyes were equally flashing with shock and excitement.
She whispered: "Comrade Xiao, you guard him. I will report."
Xiao Fanbing nodded immediately, "I understand, go quickly!"
Liu Qiuyue went out and immediately hurried to the back streets of Simou. The three lanes of Zhaojiadun were quite a distance away from the back streets of Simou. She didn’t have any means of transportation, and there were no taxis or anything like that at night. She almost walked and ran, half way.
Hours later, she finally ran to the back street of Simenmen, sweating profusely.
At this time, in Zuo Shaoqing's room, Zhang Yalan and You Shaoqing were sitting beside Zuo Shaoqing's bed, talking to her in a low voice. What they were discussing was how to use Wei Mingshui's group to induce "water hyacinth".
At this time, Liu Qiuyue rushed in with a pale face and panting. She thrust a piece of paper into Zuo Shaoqing's hand and said: "The telegram, just received." She was speechless.
I could only squat on the ground and gasp for breath.
Zhang Yalan helped her to a chair, "Did you run back?"
Liu Qiuyue was speechless and just pointed at the note in Zuo Shaoqing's hand.
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing looked at the note in her hand and was stunned. Her eyes looked back and forth over the note with only one sentence, looking at it in disbelief.
She quickly handed the note to her sister, "Sister, look! Yalan, look too! Water hyacinth! It's water hyacinth!"
You Shaoqing and Zhang Yalan both read the note quickly and repeatedly, for fear of getting it wrong. They raised their heads and saw that Zuo Shaoqing's face was red with excitement, and his eyes were shining brightly.
Zhang Yalan immediately said: "Sister, you finally found the clue to this 'water hyacinth'!"
Zuo Shaoqing laughed, "I finally found him! I finally found him! For so many years, I have been thinking about him in my heart. He almost killed me! Now I finally found him!"
You Shaoqing calmly grabbed his sister's hand and said, "Sister, this means that 'Water Hyacinth' is also in Wuhan!"
Zuo Shaoqing shook her hand, "He must be in Wuhan! He must be there!"
You Shaoqing continued to hold her hand calmly, "Sister, this means that something big must have happened here in Wuhan!"
This sentence immediately made Zuo Shaoqing calm down. Many things she had just learned recently began to swirl in her mind, pieced together, and confirmed each other. A gauze-like fog was floating in front of her eyes, covered by a layer of
Layer by layer. But in the end, there was still a huge mystery in front of her.
She said softly: "Sister, you are right, you are right. I feel that it may be two things. The first thing is for me. I do hold a very important secret. It is that piece of soap.
There is a microfilm inside. Taiwan and the United States have been tracking me just for this film. But now, the film is lost. I wonder if it can be recovered."
As soon as she heard this, Liu Qiuyue felt uncomfortable in her heart. She felt that this was her mistake.
Zuo Shaoqing took her hand and said, "Qiuyue, don't blame yourself too much. This is mainly because of my carelessness. Judging from the current situation, someone is interested in the money. Maybe we can get it back. Let's talk about this
The second thing. My sister said that a group of "migrants" came to Wuhan. I feel that this group of "migrants" came just for me. Because my sister is in Wuhan, they may have judged that I would come to Wuhan to find my sister. But
, there are also things that don’t make sense.”
Zhang Yalan asked urgently: "What doesn't make sense?"
Zuo Shaoqing said: "Wei Mingshui was worried that this group of 'outsiders' would be detrimental to him, so he killed Zeng Shaowu. The problem is that I knew this Zeng Shaowu. He was by no means an ordinary trafficker. He came to Wuhan not just to give Wei Mingshui
The one who sent the radio station and funds. He is an important member of the Hong Kong intelligence station, and he should have important tasks. His meeting with the group of 'outsiders' in Wuhan seemed not just to deal with me. So, the second thing,
Maybe that's what my sister meant. Something big might be happening in Wuhan. 'Water Hyacinth' appeared in Wuhan, and Taiwan ordered Wei Mingshui to obey the orders of 'Water Hyacinth'. It's very possible that it's also for that big thing!"
Zhang Yalan whispered: "But, what big event will it be?"
Zuo Shaoqing shook his head, "We don't know. But we must be prepared in our hearts. Now, we have to deal with the matter at hand. Sister, this telegram can only be sent to Wei Mingshui by you. Has this happened before?"
You Shaoqing nodded and said, "Yes. I brought it to Wei Mingshui along the way."
Zuo Shaoqing immediately said: "Okay, you send it to Wei Mingshui now. You have several purposes. First, to find out if Wei Mingshui knows about the major events that are about to happen in Wuhan. Second, to take a look at his attitude.
How does he view this matter? Third, is it possible for him to change his stance? If he can make meritorious deeds, he will be treated leniently in the future. But, sister, you have to be particularly cautious about this. After all, he is an old military commander. Don’t let him
I am suspicious of you."
The younger sister said: "Sister, I understand."
Zuo Shaoqing said: "Well, you go quickly. I'm waiting for your news."
By the time You Shaoqing arrived at Wei Mingshui's "Rongsheng" snack bar, it was already three o'clock in the morning. At this time, everything was quiet, the night was cold, and the dew had already focused on the leaves or grass tips, shining brightly under the moonlight.
Light.
You Shaoqing walked silently on the night road, carefully listening to the movements in front, behind, and left.
She walked to the door of the snack bar and knocked gently. After a few minutes, Wei Mingshui opened a crack in the door and stared at her cautiously. His eyes flickered to both sides before gently opening the door.
You Shaoqing followed Wei Mingshui and walked into his small accounting room. She took out the telegram and handed it into Wei Mingshui's hand. She said, "Liu Xi just received this. I'll bring it to you by the way. Look.
Let’s see.”
Wei Mingshui sat down at the table and read the telegram carefully. You Shaoqing could clearly see the doubt in his eyes.
She said: "Old Wei, do you understand what I mean?"
Wei Mingshui shook his head, "'Water Hyacinth'? This should be a code name, right?"
You Shaoqing nodded, "It must be. But why do you ask us to obey his orders?"
Wei Mingshui said: "How the hell do I understand! Please analyze it for me."
You Shaoqing thought for a moment and said softly: "Old Wei, that's what I think. Maybe it's because Zeng Shaowu died that we were asked to obey this 'water hyacinth' order. This is the first. Second, this department
Instead of giving us instructions through the radio, they asked us to obey the orders of this "water hyacinth". I guess they may have some big operations here in Wuhan. Old Wei, think about it, the headquarters specially transferred from outside
Some 'migrants' may also have this reason. What do you think?"
Wei Mingshui nodded, "I feel like I might have made you guess."
You Shaoqing added: "Thirdly, we killed Zeng Shaowu. If the news of this matter leaks out, they will definitely not let us go!"
Wei Mingshui gritted his teeth and lowered his head in thought, saying, "Whoever dares to leak the news will definitely not be spared by me!"
You Shaoqing said quietly: "Old Wei, I don't have any external intentions. However, I think that no matter what the headquarters wants to do, or what this 'water hyacinth' wants us to do, we should put safety first. If we want
If it threatens our safety, we will never do it!"
Wei Mingshui looked at You Shaoqing with his scheming eyes. After a moment, he said softly: "You Shaoqing, why do I feel that you have changed a bit in recent times? Why?"
You Shaoqing nodded, "Old Wei, you are right! I have just changed! You have seen my daughter, how is it? She looks like a flower, and she is growing up day by day. If something happens to me
, my daughter is also finished! I must raise my daughter! This is my idea. I believe that you don’t want your brothers to give away their lives in vain! Old Wei, this is my idea!"
Wei Mingshui stared at her gloomily, "Young Master, I'm afraid you have more serious ideas, right?"
You Shaoqing's face turned vicious at this time. She glared at Wei Mingshui and said: "Old Wei, you are right! In order to raise my daughter, I would rather sell those bastards to the Communist Party! Who threatens
My daughter, I will fight her to the death! I will do what I say!”
Wei Mingshui stared at her silently and said, "Young Master, what exactly do you want?"
You Shaoqing said quietly: "I hope that's the case. If it's something that doesn't hurt, let him do it. But if it's something that's life-threatening, something that will bring danger to us! You bastard, let him do it."
Sell it to the Communist Party! Doing this may save our lives in the end!"
Wei Mingshui nodded to her, "Young Master, you are at least right about one thing, safety comes first. I will consider your opinion, please don't worry, I will deal with it carefully."
You Shaoqing looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time. Your guy may have to go to work too. I have to go."
You Shaoqing quietly left the snack bar, leaving Wei Mingshui alone in his small accounting room.
He sat at the table and couldn't make up his mind for a long time. But one thing he had vaguely felt was that this You Shaoqing seemed to be trying to persuade him to rebel, intentionally or unintentionally. Damn it! This problem is very serious!
The morning of this day was spent in Wuhan in peace. An unsettling calm.
Du Ziyuan, who was sitting in the guest house of the Provincial Military Region, felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
