Tu Hexiang recalled the scene at that time and continued: "Later, I saw a man appear upstairs, holding a rifle in his hand. Shi San was also about to shoot Zuo Shaoqing. But that man got there first. Shi San
San was beaten to death by that man. I had no choice but to drive away in the truck. Later, about a few minutes later, I heard an explosion... Mr. Water, the explosion also failed?"
Mr. "Water" shook his head and said nothing more.
Tu Hexiang looked at him in surprise and was speechless. How lucky was Zuo Shaoqing? He was not killed by the bomb! He had more questions in his heart. How did Mr. "Shui" know this result?
Is he there?
Mr. "Water" looked out the window silently. He is an extremely smart man. He immediately understood the reason why this operation failed. No one would believe it when he told him that it was because the operation was "too" sophisticated!
The setting up of covert operations should always be as precise and detailed as possible. This is the basic common sense of secret service organizations and operators. But, damn! There is also a problem of proportion! Once the plan is "too" precise, it may backfire.
!Not everyone can grasp this sense of proportion.
If, Mr. "Shui" thought quietly, if he didn't let Zhao Minggui go to the roof of the three-story building to ambush, the situation might be completely different. Even if the other party saw that Nuomi Lane was a trap and was on the top of the building,
Searching the top, they couldn't find anything unusual. In particular, they couldn't get the sniper rifle. Even if they saw Cui Shisan about to shoot, there was nothing they could do. Cui Shisan might have succeeded in killing Zuo Shaoqing! Damn it!
This is the fate that makes him unconvinced!
Mr. "Water" figured this out, but didn't want to say it out loud.
This is the case with all officials in the world. They will not expose their shortcomings. They will only become more cruel in their hearts.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand the process."
Tu Hexiang asked carefully: "Mr. Shui, how did you know that Nuomi Lane... failed?"
Mr. "Shui" looked at him calmly, "I saw them outside the guest house of Nanjing Public Security Bureau. There were many of them, including Zuo Shaoqing and her sister.
.The bomb did not damage their fur." His voice was so low that it was inaudible.
Tu Hexiang was almost frightened. He asked: "They have arrived in Nanjing?" This situation was beyond his expectation. For him, Nanjing was no longer a safe place. "Then, what should we do next?"
Mr. "Shui" took out a small paper square from his pocket, handed it to Tu Hexiang's hand, and said: "We have one more chance. This is the next step, and you are responsible for executing it." He paused and looked a little gloomily.
Staring at Tu Hexiang, "Mr. Tu, this time, we must succeed!"
Tu Hexiang unfolded the small square of paper and glanced at it. The pencil writing on the note was indeed familiar to him. At this time, he finally determined that the person opposite was indeed Mr. "Shui".
He quickly read the content on the note, looked at Mr. "Water" with some surprise, and whispered: "Are you personally participating in this operation? It may be dangerous!"
Mr. "Water" smiled lightly and said, "I want to ensure that this operation is successful!"
Tu Hexiang's little eyes blinked, "But, I don't have a weapon, what should I do?"
Mr. "Shui" was obviously prepared for this. He took out a cloth bag from his canvas handbag and handed it to Tu Hexiang from the table, "This is for you."
Tu Hexiang took the cloth bag and weighed it in his hand. It was heavy, and it was obviously a pistol. He looked around, put the cloth bag into his purse, and said, "Okay, I will contact you tonight."
He glanced at the note and said, "The address is the Yangtze River Shipping Company warehouse, Lu Zetai?"
Mr. "Water" nodded to him, "It's him. You should be more careful and don't get into trouble."
Tu Hexiang nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will be cautious."
Speaking of which, Tu Hexiang is also a very alert and shrewd person. He thought for a moment and then asked: "Mr. Shui, why are you meeting me here instead of leaving me a note like you did in the past?"
Mr. "Shui" curled his lips and said: "I feel that your hardware store may not be safe. I walked outside your store twice and felt very bad. Zuo Shaoqing and others have already arrived in Nanjing, so there is no guarantee
We won’t target your store. So, I suggest you don’t go to the store again.”
As soon as he heard this, Tu Hexiang felt pain in his heart. This was his shop, and there was a lot of turnover every day, which allowed him to earn a lot of money. He very much hoped to maintain the situation he had before going to Wuhan. On the other hand,
, he went to Wuhan this time and spent a lot of money, and he didn’t have much money left. He couldn’t get the money unless he went back to the store. He once got an unexpected extra money in Wuhan, but he was accidentally given by that little prostitute.
Stolen. Thinking about it now, it still made him feel distressed.
However, these things are trivial after all compared with his own safety. At this time, he thought of another thing.
He said: "Mr. Shui, I accidentally got a microfilm in Wuhan. I don't know what it contains. But it seems that someone is looking for this film. The telegram from the headquarters asked me to give this film to you."
When Tu Hexiang said this, he vaguely saw Mr. "Shui"'s eyes flashing like lightning behind his black-rimmed glasses. But he immediately lowered his head to hide his gaze. Tu Hexiang felt his nerves jump.
.He believed that this film must be extremely important.
Mr. "Water" looked out the window and asked, "Have you brought the film?"
Tu Hexiang looked at him carefully and said, "I didn't bring it with me, I hid it in my luggage."
Mr. "Water" nodded and said casually: "Bring it with you next time and give it to me when we meet next time. I need to find a way to develop this film to see if it is important."
Tu Hexiang asked: "So, when will I hand it over to you?"
"Shui" already looked like he was leaving and said, "Just take it with you and I will find you. I'm leaving now. You sit there for a while and I'll contact Lu Zetai tonight."
Mr. "Shui" left the small teahouse silently.
Through the window, Tu Hexiang watched him quickly disappear among the pedestrians on the street, and no trace could be seen. He read the contents of the note carefully again, making sure he remembered everything, then struck a match and put the note
Burned.
At this time, he remembered the microfilm and was making up his mind.
If his store is really monitored by plainclothes police, then not only will he have no income, he will not even be able to return home. As a result, he has no store, no home, no career, and no money. He now has almost nothing.
Damn it! I only have this small film now! Maybe, the rest of my life will depend on this small film! This is something Tu Hexiang must consider.
When Tu Hexiang left this small teahouse, it was completely dark. He walked in a hurry, hoping to establish contact with Lu Zetai tonight. As for what to do with the small film, he could only think about it tomorrow. From the small note
Judging from the content, the operation planned by Mr. "Water" actually started tonight.
Tu Hexiang had something on his mind and was in a hurry, so he didn't notice Liu Qiuyue standing in the shadows across the street, gaping at him. He almost walked past her.
Liu Qiuyue's tonight was actually just a routine inspection.
Zhang Yalan has arranged plainclothes police officers at all the places that need attention to conduct secret surveillance. Therefore, Liu Qiuyue's task is just to walk around the scrap hardware store. She is responsible for patrolling this area. After all, she has met Tu Hexiang. Old Hu
They were responsible for the inspection of No. 12, Lane 2, Xiaofenqiao. They had to report the day's inspection to Zhang Yalan every night. As a result, on the night of the third day of inspection, she was very surprised to see Tu Hexiang.
At first, she only saw Tu Hexiang's bloated back, looming among the pedestrians in the evening. But she had followed Tu Hexiang, and this back immediately made her alert. Later, she saw him entering a small teahouse.
After it got dark, she walked back and forth outside the window of the small teahouse twice. She saw Tu Hexiang and saw him talking in a low voice with a bearded man.
At this time, Liu Qiuyue became entangled in her heart. These two people will break up sooner or later. Which one should she follow? Which of them is more important? She did not dare to leave here to find the phone, fearing that when she came back, the two of them would already be there.
Disappeared. Now she could only stand quietly in the shadows across the street and observe, and hesitated in her heart which one she should track down in the end.
When the two people broke up, she decided to follow Tu Hexiang. There was only one reason: Tu Hexiang had Zuo Shaoqing's lost film. She always felt guilty about this, thinking that the film was lost from her hand.
Zuo Shaoqing even fell seriously ill because of this film. Therefore, she must track down Tu Hexiang.
However, Liu Qiuyue followed the route but lost the target near the Yangtze River Shipping Company.
There were fewer pedestrians in this area at night, so she didn't dare to follow them too close. But it was very difficult to follow people in a secluded street. Therefore, she suspected that Tu Hexiang discovered her and took her there.
Abandoned. She walked around several nearby streets and found nothing unusual, so she had to return to the public security bureau guest house and report to Zuo Shaoqing as soon as possible.
On the night before Liu Qiuyue came back, only sister Zuo Shaoqing was left in the room of the guest house of Nanjing Public Security Bureau. They sat quietly at the table, smoking cigarettes and telling each other about their experiences in the past few years.
These days, whenever they have the opportunity to be alone together, they will talk about their past experiences intermittently.
