When Zuo Shaoqing walked into the office, Liu Qiuyue stood up from the table in a hurry, holding a briefing paper in her hand. But she looked at Zuo Shaoqing carefully and said, "Young Master, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are swollen."
Zuo Shaoqing looked back at the mirror on the wall and said, "I didn't sleep well. I didn't sleep all night. What's going on?"
The briefing in Liu Qiuyue's hand said, "Young Master, there is a situation. The results have been obtained from Chen Sanhu. Last night, they had followed Liang Jicheng and found where he lived, at No. 31 Beicaiyuan. It was a small
The courtyard is broken. In addition to Liang Jicheng, there is also an old lady in her fifties living in the courtyard. Sanhu and the others have established a surveillance point opposite the small courtyard."
Zuo Shaoqing nodded, "How many are there?"
"There are still three people, taking turns to monitor."
"Add more people to them. You go and make arrangements. Five more people will be added, and Chen Sanhu will direct them on the spot. Tell them that no matter who goes in or comes out, they must follow. At least two people will follow. Report any news at any time."
Liu Qiuyue nodded, "Okay, I'll make arrangements."
That afternoon, Chen Sanhu sent someone to deliver a report, and Liang Jicheng went to the Lilac Coffee Shop again. Chen Sanhu judged that Liang Jicheng was waiting for someone to meet him.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Liang Jicheng was sitting in Lilac Coffee Shop. He was still sitting in front of the counter, reading the newspaper motionlessly and occasionally taking a sip of coffee.
Chen Sanhu was sitting at the table in the back, holding a torn magazine in his hand and flipping through it while chatting. From time to time, he raised his head and glanced at Liang Jicheng at the counter.
Du Ziyuan was still sitting behind the door of the operation room. He opened the curtain on the door a small crack and looked at the situation in the store. He checked his watch and nodded to the waitress who was sorting the cups and plates in the operation room.
The waitress picked up a tray of cups and saucers and walked into another small door. She walked into the counter, placed the cups and saucers quickly, and wiped the counter. She glanced at Liang Jicheng's cup and said with a smile: "Mr.
Would you like another drink?"
Liang Jicheng shook his head. He understood that this was a signal to tell him to leave. He folded the newspaper. Then he took out the money from his pocket and put it on the counter.
The waitress smiled and said: "Thank you, sir, and welcome to visit again."
Liang Jicheng picked up the hat, waved it to the waitress, and put it on his head. He turned around and left the coffee shop.
He hailed a rickshaw outside the door and said, "Go to Qinhuai Fourth Street." He got on the rickshaw.
Chen Sanhu also quietly left the coffee shop. He stood at the door and calmly gestured around. At least four or five agents from far and near moved because of this. Some of them walked, some called rickshaws, and some took out bicycles.
They winked at each other and followed Liang Jicheng's rickshaw.
At Qinhuai Fourth Street, Liang Jicheng got off the rickshaw. He got on carefully, moving forward and backward, then walked to a door and knocked gently.
Chen Sanhu stood in the far corner, calmly talking. He saw the door open and a woman appeared. Although she was far away, he still felt that the woman looked familiar. He knew that his brain was not particularly easy to use.
, just thinking hard.
A telephoto camera stretched out from his side, clicking continuously.
Chen Sanhu suddenly remembered that this woman was the female nurse in Boai Hospital. He had followed her and discovered the underground party's secret communication station. He couldn't help but open his mouth, "Oh my God, we found the big guy!"
"
What Chen Sanhu found was the secret residence of Lao Li, the deputy commander of the Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi guerrilla columns.
At this time, Ye Gongjin's office was very quiet. He sat behind his desk, his eyes full of doubts, and his heart became even more uneasy.
He Junjie sat across from him and looked at him with concern, "Director, Mr. Metz has repeatedly said that he has important matters and wants to meet with you to discuss it, and requested that a time for the meeting be arranged no later than next week."
"What's wrong with him?" Ye Gongjin asked in a low voice.
"He refused to say it. He said that he must discuss it with you in person. I feel that it must be a difficult matter."
Ye Gongjin felt that he had encountered an embarrassment. The relationship with Americans was relatively sensitive in the Secrecy Bureau, especially with Mr. Metz. Director Mao looked very unhappy when he mentioned Mr. Metz at the bureau meeting.
.He has to be very careful because he doesn't want to give up his relationship with Metz.
"Junjie," he said softly, "let me think about it. As for you, you should be especially cautious."
"Yes, I know." He Junjie's face was already a little pale.
At this time, the phone on the table rang. Ye Gongjin picked up the phone and when he heard it, he knew it was Huang Fenglin. He waved to He Junjie. He Junjie walked out of the office knowingly.
"Brother Fenglin, what's going on?"
"Is it easy for you to talk?" Huang Fenglin asked on the phone.
"No problem, just say it." Ye Gongjin turned around and went outside. The sky outside was very clear, with clouds and strong sun. The "Watson" fan on the stage was blowing a little wind.
"There is a situation," Huang Fenglin said softly, "it's about Zuo Shaoqing."
"Say." Ye Gongjin became more energetic. Now he and Huang Fenglin have the same goal, Zuo Shaoqing.
"She has been operating in the area of Qinhuai Fourth Street these two days. I noticed that she arranged a lot of people there. She also went there twice. I think it was a secret operation, and she was very cautious when she went there. You act in that area
?"
Ye Gongjin became alert. He once warned Zuo Shaoqing that she must report to him if there was any action. But this time, she obviously did not report it. It seemed that Cheng Yunfa did not know about this situation either. If he knew, he would definitely report it.
"I will investigate this matter." Ye Gongjin gritted his teeth and said. He understood that this sentence was tantamount to telling Huang Fenglin that he did not know about the operation near Qinhuai Fourth Street. "Do you know the target of her operation?" He had no choice but to say
ask.
"I don't know. She has arranged a lot of people, and the area is very large. In addition, there is another place, in Beicaiyuan, which is a very shabby small courtyard. You can check it out, this is all I know at the moment."
"I will check. You have to continue and stay hidden."
Ye Gongjin put down the phone, feeling a little angry. He decided to go to the second group.
Ye Gongjin left the office and walked forward along the corridor. He turned into the wing and the second door on the left was Zuo Shaoqing's office. He stood outside the door for a moment and reached out to open the door.
He immediately cleared the situation in the office. Zuo Shaoqing, Lu Cheng, and Liu Qiuyue were sitting around the desk, seeming to be discussing something. At this time, they all raised their heads, and it was the director who hurriedly stood up.
Ye Gongjin showed a kind face and said, "Let me go around each room. Are you having a meeting?"
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him calmly, "Director, we are studying some situations."
Ye Gongjin walked over slowly and casually, "What's going on? Tell me."
Zuo Shaoqing waved his hands left and right, and Liu Qiuyue and Lu Cheng immediately stepped aside, pulled out chairs and asked Ye Gongjin to sit down.
But Ye Gongjin didn't sit down, "Just say it like this, keep it simple, I'll listen."
Zuo Shaoqing said calmly: "Director, we found Liang Jicheng."
Ye Gongjin's eyes became sharp, staring at Zuo Shaoqing's face, "Are you watching?"
"Yes. He lives at No. 31 Beicaiyuan."
"What else?" This situation confirmed Huang Fenglin's discovery.
"There was a new discovery yesterday." She picked up a photo from the table and handed it to Ye Gongjin, "This was just sent. We are analyzing the new situation."
Ye Gongjin took the photo. It was a photo taken from a long distance. It was not very clear, but it was enough to clearly identify the person in the photo. A man and a woman were standing outside and outside a door talking. Although the man only took a picture of the side and back.
, but Ye Gongjin recognized him at a glance. He was Liang Jicheng. He held a top hat in his hand and leaned forward to talk to the woman inside.
Ye Gongjin clicked on the woman in the photo, "Who is this woman?"
Zuo Shaoqing said softly: "She is the female nurse in Boai Hospital. Lucheng once followed her."
Ye Gongjin's expression became serious, and all kinds of situations were quickly turning in his mind. His eyes were fixed on Zuo Shaoqing's face, and he said, "Now go to the conference room for a meeting!"
A few minutes later, the main officers from the two offices were already gathered in the conference room.
Ye Gongjin said directly: "Young Master Zuo, please report it."
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him seriously and said calmly: "This happened by chance. A brother below came down to replace the class. On the way back, he accidentally spotted Liang Jicheng and followed him. He found that he had gone to Lilac
Coffee shop.”
Liu Qiuyue sat quietly next to her, with no expression on her face. She guessed that the young master might have to say this. Maybe he wanted to hide something, but she didn't want to think about it.
"Then what?" Ye Gongjin asked.
"After observing this brother, he thought he was waiting for someone, so he didn't move. He just looked for an opportunity to call back. I sent Chen Sanhu to lead a few brothers to take over the surveillance. He quickly found his hiding place, Beicaiyuan No. 31
No. I went and observed him, and I thought he was waiting for someone. He went to the coffee shop three days in a row. Yesterday afternoon, I discovered a new situation. He went to this place to look for someone." She got up and distributed some photos.
To the person at the table.
Cheng Yunfa and You Shaoqing were both surprised by this situation. They didn't expect Liang Jicheng to appear again. This incident especially made You Shaoqing suspicious. She secretly suspected that her sister had colluded with the underground party. But she didn't dare to do it now.
She said it because she was afraid of being considered jealous. Looking down at the photo, she became confused as soon as she saw the woman in the photo.
You Shaoqing looked up and saw Zuo Shaoqing staring at her, so he asked, "Who is this woman?"
Zuo Shaoqing remained calm, "Maybe you still have the impression that she is the female nurse from Boai Hospital."
Cheng Yunfa suddenly opened his eyes, "Hey, it's her! Is that wounded person still in Nanjing?"
Zuo Shaoqing shook his head, "Still monitoring, no evidence found so far."
The conference room was very quiet for a while. Everyone was a little surprised and each was thinking in his mind.
Ye Gongjin said coldly: "Qinhuai Fourth Street?"
Ye Gongjin's words immediately alerted Zuo Shaoqing. From just now to now, she had never mentioned Qinhuai Fourth Street, and the location was not shown in the photos. Judging from Cheng Yunfa's reaction, he did not notice the actions of the second group. So,
How did Ye Gongjin know about Qinhuai Fourth Street? She thought in her heart.
She said calmly: "Yes."
Ye Gongjin continued to ask: "Why didn't you report it?"
Zuo Shaoqing had already prepared for Ye Gongjin's question, "I'm sorry, Director. First, it's because the situation is unclear, and second, I'm afraid of being disturbed."
This sentence made Cheng Yunfa's eyes widen, "Young Master Zuo, what do you mean, have we interfered with you? When did we interfere with you?"
Zuo Shaoqing raised his voice and said: "You have not interfered, you know it in your heart. I hope you will not interfere in today's case. Our second team will definitely handle it!"
When she said this, she kept paying attention to Ye Gongjin's expression from the corner of her eye, trying to figure out his reaction. But Ye Gongjin had no expression at all. She felt faintly worried.
There was silence in the conference room. Ye Gongjin remained calm. Cheng Yunfa was furious and kept looking back at Ye Gongjin's expression. Right Shaoqing squinted his eyes and stared at Zuo Shaoqing. Zhao Minggui half lowered his head, quietly feeling everyone's thoughts.
Cheng Yunfa finally said: "Director, do you think I have interfered with her? I think she has ulterior motives in this matter!"
Ye Gongjin finally waved his hand to him and said: "This situation is quite special and must be handled with all our strength. I, Minggui will take the lead in today's case, and Yunfa and Zuo Shao will cooperate. The surveillance points in both places must be strengthened.
, put on the phone, report anything to Minggui at any time, Minggui will report to me. That's it."
Zuo Shaoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she still had some worries in her heart. She knew that Zhao Minggui was much smarter than Cheng Yunfa. Du Ziyuan asked her to "set up suspicions," but she didn't know if she had achieved her goal.
