Zuo Shaoqing couldn't help but think that when she was still in Nanjing, Du Ziyuan said that "Water Hyacinth" had gone to Guangzhou and seemed to know his whereabouts. Now that she and her sister had just arrived in Guangzhou, Du Ziyuan told her that "Water Hyacinth" had already arrived in Guangzhou.
They fled to Hong Kong. She also felt that there might be something wrong with it. But then she thought about it, Du Ziyuan shouldn't have hidden anything from them!
That night, Long Jinyun brought them the documents and train tickets they needed to go to Hong Kong tomorrow.
That night, the three women had nothing to do and sat together chatting. Long Jinyun told them how he had seen the sisters several times, as well as her ups and downs and struggles during this experience.
She said: "I am very, very lucky to be assigned to the Hubei Investigation Bureau. I only do some odd jobs in the bureau. I estimate that as soon as the declassification period is over, I will be assigned to a place far away.
That way, I will never be able to stand out again. Only in Wuhan can I accidentally see you."
Zuo Shaoqing said with a smile: "Did you see me first, or did you see my sister first?"
Long Jinyun said: "I saw your sister first, Sister Right. However, Sister You was so alert that she got rid of me. However, this gave me hope. I walked around the streets every day, every day
Then I saw Sister Zuo. However, I saw that one of you has long hair and the other has short hair, which frightened me. I thought I was deceived."
Both sisters Zuo Shaoqing laughed and said, "I finally let you see it."
Long Jinyun said: "It is because of this that Lao Du believes that you two are in Wuhan. Lao Du said that it would be strange if you could keep an eye on them."
They talked until late at night before going to bed.
The next morning, sisters Zuo Shaoqing and Long Jinyun took the early train from Guangzhou to Shenzhen. This train was extremely slow. Probably no one would believe that the total length of the Guangzhou-Kowloon Line is only 150 meters.
For more than 10 kilometers, this train took six hours. The train stopped and stopped on the road, stopping at some small stations for more than ten minutes to make way for other trains. In this way, when they arrived at Luohuqiao Station, it was already two in the afternoon.
It's o'clock.
Neither Zuo Shaoqing nor Long Jinyun had ever entered Hong Kong from Luo Wu Port. You Shaoqing had experienced it, and she volunteered to lead the way for them and walked forward along the railway track.
However, when they arrived at Luohu Port, the scene there surprised them greatly.
Outside Luohu Port is a small street that is not too wide, called Heping Street. On the left side of Heping Street is the famous Overseas Chinese Society. The Overseas Chinese Society is not a social group as its name sounds. It is a catering and accommodation complex.
, a place for shopping and entertainment. The dance hall of the Overseas Chinese Society was very famous in that era. Many people entering and leaving Luohu Port would stay there or have fun for a while before leaving.
Opposite the Overseas Chinese Community, there is a large row of shops. They are all very small and cluttered shops, selling all kinds of snacks, department stores, daily necessities and other commodities. Everything you can think of is sold here.
What surprised them was that on both sides of Heping Street, all corners, open spaces, and even shops were crowded with people in ragged clothes, thin faces, and uneasy expressions. They dragged their children with them, supported the old and young,
Carrying some more tattered luggage, I stared blankly at the Luohu Port.
There were so many of them that they squeezed Heping Street, which was originally not wide, into only a narrow passage.
Sister Zuo Shaoqing and some people who were preparing to go to Luohu Port all walked anxiously among these refugee-like people. No one dared to speak loudly.
Zuo Shaoqing was very surprised by this situation. The country has been liberated for several years. From the newspaper, I saw that the country has completed the cooperativeization of rural areas and the transformation of public-private partnerships in cities. How can there be so many refugees? Why are they?
Focus here? Do you want to go to Hong Kong? Why?
She asked Long Jinyun in a low voice. Long Jinyun also knew nothing about this situation.
They walked silently among the refugees. In front of them was the Luohu Port. Some soldiers in yellow military uniforms were guarding one end of Heping Street with guns, preventing the refugees from going any further.
At that time, Luohu Port was very crude and small.
At the end of Heping Street is Luohu Bridge. There are two rows of low bungalows at the north end of Luohu Bridge, which is the Luohu Port. You Shaoqing led them and walked directly to the first window of the bungalow on the left.
Zuo Shaoqing saw clearly that there was a sign hanging on the door of the row of bungalows with four big red characters on it: "Shenzhen Customs". She saw that her sister had stopped in front of the first window. Next to that window
There is a piece of white paper taped to the wall, with the words "Access Inspection" written in writing on it.
You Shaoqing put his suitcase on the window sill, and then handed his ID through the window.
Zuo Shaoqing saw from behind that the customs officer in a yellow military uniform just patted the suitcase, even if it had been checked, then picked up a seal, stamped it on his sister's ID, and handed it over.
The younger sister picked up her suitcase, took back her ID, turned around and pouted at her sister, and walked inside. Zuo Shaoqing and Long Jinyun, like You Shaoqing, put their bags and schoolbags on the windowsill.
Let the customs inspector take a photo, stamp their documents, and let them pass.
The three of them left the "Shenzhen Customs" and walked onto the Luohu Bridge in just a few steps.
Zuo Shaoqing asked: "Sister, do we pass the test now?"
My sister smiled and said, "This side is the easiest. It's more strict at the other end of the bridge."
Zuo Shaoqing asked: "What's going on with those refugees outside?"
My sister looked back and saw the dark crowd of refugees outside the "Customs", all looking here silently. She shook her head, "I don't know. When I came here before, it was very prosperous and there were not so many refugees."
They were all puzzled and continued walking along Luohu Bridge.
The Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway and the Luohu Bridge they are now embarking on were designed and constructed by Zhan Tianyou, a famous Chinese railway construction engineer, and were built in 1909. The Luohu Bridge is an iron bridge with two railway tracks in the middle.
The surface is paved with wooden boards to facilitate pedestrians walking.
When they walked onto the Luohu Bridge, they realized that there was another gate on the bridge. Two roadblocks covered with barbed wire crossed the bridge, forming a narrow exit. Several customs officers in yellow military uniforms stood beside the roadblock.
Check everyone's luggage. The check is also very simple. They just roughly look through the contents of the suitcase or handbag and then wave them through.
Further forward, a thick red line is drawn on the bridge paved with wooden planks.
You Shaoqing whispered: "This is the border. Once you cross the line, it belongs to Hong Kong."
They crossed the red line and walked to the other end of Luo Wu Bridge, where is the Hong Kong Customs.
The staff of Hong Kong Customs include both Hong Kongers and British people. They all wear neat uniforms and large-brimmed hats on their heads. They politely ask every passenger who passes through the customs to open their luggage. Their inspection is very careful, almost
Everything must be seen and touched.
Ten minutes later, they finally left Hong Kong Customs and entered Hong Kong.
They took a taxi and went directly to Chaohai Building. As agreed, they stayed in Chaohai Building.
Zuo Shaoqing took a shower in the bathroom, changed into clean clothes, combed his hair carefully, and then said to his sister: "You two, take a rest, I have to go out for a while."
The younger sister looked at her with wide eyes, "Are you going far? Do you want me to accompany you?".
Zuo Shaoqing said: "It's not far away, it's in this building."
She left the room and took the elevator to the top floor. She looked into the silent corridor, then stopped in front of a double door and knocked gently. A voice of "please come in" came from inside immediately. She
Open the door and walk in.
Zuo Shaoqing entered the door and immediately saw Feng Dun walking back and forth in the room. They looked at each other, both a little surprised, and did not speak for a while.
Zuo Shaoqing was surprised, not because she saw Feng Dun. Du Ziyuan had already told her to contact Feng Dun after coming to Hong Kong and he would arrange everything. What surprised her was that Feng Dun was much thinner than two years ago, and his face was also dull.
Not very good.
Feng Dun was surprised because he really didn't expect it. He didn't expect that the person he met today would be Zuo Shaoqing, an intelligence officer from the Taiwan Secrecy Bureau whom he had met two years ago. He had doubts about her back then.
It wasn't her who called the police. But once he found out her identity, he believed it wasn't the case. But when they met today, he knew without asking that it was Zuo Shaoqing who called his secretary and mentioned "The Second Boy"
Black Marriage".
He silently walked up to Zuo Shaoqing, shook hands with her, and pointed to the sofa, "Please sit down."
He poured Zuo Shaoqing a cup of tea, placed it in front of her, and sat down on the sofa.
Zuo Shaoqing said with a smile: "Mr. Feng, I haven't seen you for two years in a blink of an eye. You are a little thinner than before."
Feng Dun looked at her silently, with a heavy feeling in his eyes. He said: "I really didn't expect it to be you. Let's get down to business. I just received a telegram last night saying that you came to Hong Kong to track the water.
Gourd's name is Li Keng-yi. He is currently hiding in the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong."
Zuo Shaoqing stared at him, his eyes flashing rapidly. What Feng Dun said corresponded to what she knew in her heart. As early as 1949, when Liu Qiuyue was investigating the "Water Hyacinth", she learned from Qian Yu
Hong discovered in the marriage registration in Tongliang County, Chongqing, that her man's surname was either Li or Ji. A few days ago, Qian Yuhong had a nervous breakdown and shouted "Keng Yi! Keng Yi!" Those were the two words.
Li Kengyi. What a strange name, she thought to herself.
What made her nervous was that this Li Kengyi had already run into the U.S. Consulate General. This would make things difficult. It was impossible for her to rush or sneak into the U.S. Consulate General to find Li Kengyi.
