While Wang Tianxiang accompanied Longchuan Feiyuan on a night tour of the West Lake, a phone call came to Li Ningyu's home overnight. However, the phone only rang a few times and then became quiet again.
But in the room, Pan Hanqing, who was making final preparations before taking action, just raised his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. The bright moonlight fell on his face, which looked like a knife and an axe, making him look even more determined.
The whole night was silent, and early the next morning, after some careful disguises, Pan Hanqing locked the target with almost no effort and quietly began to follow and monitor him.
As the highest-level agent of the Central Government, Pan Hanqing's professionalism and business abilities were much higher than that of the old turtle. Naturally, there were ways to track and monitor him without him noticing.
So the old turtle walked into a public phone booth on the roadside without any precautions, almost under Pan Hanqing's watchful eyes.
The strange thing is that the old turtle did not make a call immediately after entering the phone booth. Instead, he pretended to take the phone receiver and dialed a few numbers at random. Then he put the receiver back to its original position and backed out of the phone booth.
"It seems that this old turtle has received some anti-stalking training!"
Thinking of this, Pan Hanqing lit a cigarette and leaned against the corner to smoke leisurely. After waiting for nearly half an hour, he walked into the phone booth and skillfully connected a bug to the phone booth.
On the line of a public telephone.
Not long after Pan Hanqing walked out of the phone booth, the old turtle who had already left came back and walked into the public phone booth again.
As before, Lao Turtle first took off the phone receiver and dialed a number. However, this time, he did not hang up, but waited patiently for a long time before the call was finally connected.
"How's the situation?" As soon as the call was connected, a slightly hoarse voice rang.
"I've already visited four of the five people in Qiuzhuang, but... I still can't get into the Gu family."
The person on the other end was silent for a moment, and then continued: "... Due to the arrest of the old man, the organization has been forced to agree that I will send you to contact the old ghost directly. Time is running out, and the connection must be completed before tomorrow night."
"Where? What is his identity?"
"I don't know. Maybe in Qiuzhuang, maybe in several other places. Remember, wear the straw hat I gave you when we meet. You don't have to take the initiative to find the old ghost and let the old ghost come to find trouble."
"By the way, there's one more thing. Li Ningyu's husband doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. I'm afraid I've been exposed in his eyes."
"Don't be afraid. If you expose your identity because of him, you can prove that Li Ningyu is that old ghost. Tell the colonel that I am trying my best to track down their old gun. I also ask him to investigate the person I am looking for quickly."
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Little did he know that Pan Hanqing, who was hiding in the dark, had listened to every word of the phone call between the two of them.
Putting down his headphones, Pan Hanqing looked at the dusty but still functioning equipment in front of him and couldn't help but think to himself, "I never thought that the listening station I had built privately would be used today after so many years."
Come to help the Red Party hunt down their traitors! What’s more, I didn’t expect that Qing Deng would be resurrected for this. It seems that even if we pass this level, Hangzhou itself may not be able to stay any longer.”
Thinking of this, Pan Hanqing shook his head, stood up and lit a cigarette, and then threw the lighter on the canvas that had previously covered the monitoring equipment. Soon the fire started, but Pan Hanqing didn't even turn his head.
After a while, I just left there...
After one hour.
"Colonel, just now..." Wang Tianxiang ran in from outside with an excited look on his face, and was about to report to Ryukawa Hihara. But halfway through his words, he noticed that there was a guest in the room, and he immediately nodded and apologized.
It wasn't until Wang Tianxiang left the room that Ryukawa Hihara slowly opened the box in front of him.
This box was brought by the guest sitting opposite him at this time. As for the thing inside, Ryuukawa Hihara knew that it was a short knife without even looking.
"Zhongshan Jun, teacher... no, what does this mean, Lord Marquis?"
"How do you know the profound meaning of Lord Marquis?" The guy named Zhongshan replied expressionlessly, "But Lord Marquis's secretary, Mr. Takeda, revealed a piece of news to me on the phone. Just a few days ago
Hours ago, Wang Jingwei personally called Commander Matsui and requested that Japanese intelligence personnel be dispatched from the dispatched army headquarters to provide support."
"Why?"
"As the German army was about to take military action against the Soviet army, in the past two days, No. 76 in Shanghai, the East China Suppression Headquarters, and other intelligence agencies had intercepted a large number of national red secret messages. They were worried that Chongqing and Yan'an would attack
Under the pressure of the Soviet Union, they reunited and plotted new military operations regardless of the suspicion of the Wannan Incident. If that were the case, our previous 'Return to Zero Plan' would be meaningless."
"But... what does this have to do with Lord Marquis?"
Hearing this, Na Zhongshan couldn't help but sneered, "Did Mr. Longchuan ask knowingly? In addition to the few people who died on the code ship, Wang Kemin and several code-breaking experts from Manchukuo have all been given to you by you.
Imprisoned. After so many years, you should know that the Marquis has enemies in the cabinet and the military! If your operation fails this time and brings shame to the Marquis, I think this knife... will definitely come in handy.
Bar?"
"Then please tell the Marquis that this operation will never fail! If I was still a little worried before, maybe Huang Que's information was wrong, and the old ghost never set foot on the code ship, then now
I am even more convinced that the old ghost is among them. The reason why they encouraged Chairman Wang to put pressure on Commander Matsui is simply to force me to release him quickly. Doesn’t this just mean that the old ghost is under our control?"
"But you have no time! Don't forget that the deadline given to you by the Marquis was only seven days, but until now, you still have made no progress. Don't forget that in addition to uncovering the old ghost, you have more to do here.
Important mission."
"Don't worry, Lord Zhongshan. From the day you step into Qiuzhuang, you will not dare to forget your mission in the next moment."
"Well..." After hearing this, Na Zhongshan pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "Three days, this is the deadline given to you by the Marquis! My ability is limited, and I can only help you so far.
Lord Longchuan, take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out. Ryukawa Hihara also immediately stood up and bowed respectfully at a standard ninety degrees, saying gratefully: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhongshan!"
It wasn't until after Zhongshan left that Wang Tianxiang knocked on the door and walked in.
"Colonel, are you...are you okay?" Wang Tianxiang couldn't help but ask when he saw something was wrong with Ryukawa Feiyuan.
Longchuan Feiyuan sat back first, then waved to Wang Tianxiang and said: "It's okay, come here!"
After hearing this, Wang Tianxiang quickly moved forward flatteringly and explained in a hurry: "Colonel, I'm really sorry just now, the news came too suddenly... Colonel, there is news from the old turtle..."
However, before he finished speaking, Ryukawa Hihara suddenly pulled out the short sword from the box and without any explanation, put it directly on Wang Tianxiang's neck. He was immediately frightened and screamed: "Captain! Colonel, Colonel! You are like this
yes……"
However, Ryukawa Feihara still asked with a sinister expression: "Speak! What did you hear just now?"
"I...I didn't hear anything! I really...didn't hear anything!"
Hearing this, Ryukawa Hihara let him go with a snort. He looked at the short sword in his hand and praised it endlessly, "It's a really good sword! At least... it's worth five or six.
Human life! Listening to what you said, it seems that the Red Party really can’t sit still. They have released a lot of false information in the past few days to deceive the idiots at Jiming Temple so that they can force me to release him. "
"Ha... haha... I know this trick, knocking down mountains, shaking tigers, and setting fire to forests! It's hard for them to come up with such a roundabout strategy. However, even so, their plan was still discovered by you, Colonel."
"See through?!" Hearing this, Ryukawa Hihara's tone immediately rose several octaves, and he was obviously furious. "What's the use of seeing through? Idiot! A self-righteous idiot!"
Speaking of this, Longchuan Feiyuan paused for a moment, and then continued to ask: "What news has come from the old turtle?"
"The old turtle said that the old ghost wants to join him."
"Connection? Whose order? Is it their superiors, or is it the old ghost's idea?"
"It's an instruction from their superiors."
"Really? That's such a pity, but even so, it is indeed good news for me. Director Wang, go tell the kitchen later that there will be a sumptuous banquet tonight."
"Yes! I'll take care of my humble job now!" Wang Tianxiang agreed hastily, and then ran out of the room as if running away.
At the same time, on the boat on the shore of the West Lake.
"Did you get it? So quickly?" Looking at the recording disk brought by Pan Hanqing, Cheng asked in surprise.
Pan Hanqing just smiled and said nothing, and Minglou on the side didn't say much. He took the disk to the secret room on the ship and played it again, then frowned.
"What's wrong, Mr. Ming, is there any problem?"
"I'm sorry. As far as I know, there is no order from the organization to proactively contact the old ghost."
As soon as these words came out, Pan Hanqing couldn't help but be stunned, "That...that is to say..."
"That's right, the identity of Huang Que cannot be determined based on this recording alone. But don't worry, I will find a way to make further confirmation, but this step may still take some time."
"It's too late. Catching the traitor is your internal matter. Now I just want my sister to get out of Qiuzhuang safely. If you are at your wits' end, then I will do it in my own way."
Seeing that Pan Hanqing became more and more excited as he talked, Minglou hurriedly advised: "Old Pan, don't be so excited. Don't forget that the old ghost is not fighting alone in Qiuzhuang. I believe that they will be safe.
Returned."
After hearing what Minglou said, Pan Hanqing also calmed down, but still stubbornly said: "Mr. Ming, I respect your internal discipline, but if you ask me to do nothing and just watch helplessly, I'm sorry, I will do it."
No! So..."
"Old Pan, I'm warning you, don't push yourself too far!"
"A-Cheng!" Before he finished speaking, Minglou glared at A-Cheng reproachfully, then turned to Pan Hanqing and asked, "So what?"
"I want you to find a way to help me sneak into the telecommunications building in Hangzhou. I didn't tell you before. The voice of the person on the phone sounds very familiar, but I can't identify who it is exactly, but if I can learn more about it,
If I have relevant information, maybe I can find the owner of that voice faster than you can."
"That's it...Okay, I'll find a way, but you have to promise me that no matter what action you want to take, you must notify me in advance."
"Can!"
"A Cheng, prepare the car!"
"I know, brother!"
…
"What did you say, Director Wang, did he recruit Wu Zhiguo?" Just after lunch, Wang Tianxiang announced such news that surprised everyone, and Gu Xiaomeng asked directly without thinking.
Wang Tianxiang took the trouble to nod his head and confirmed: "Yes, we have recruited him! All of them have been recruited. You said that Captain Wu is such a tough guy. I really didn't expect that he would not be able to stand it after a few more trials!"
"Going to court?" Bai Xiaonian couldn't help but chuckled after hearing this, "I guess it's not that you have to go to court a few more times, but you have to be sentenced a few more times, right?"
"Secretary Bai, I know you are suffering! It's all Wu Zhiguo's fault. If he had confessed two days earlier, it would have been fine! Secretary Bai, you and Colonel Li wouldn't have suffered such great grievances, and I wouldn't have offended you two.
, harming others and harming himself, he really harms others and himself! But... everything has passed, and from now on, we will have all the hardships and joys. The old ghosts have been caught, and the next step is to dig out the red party.
In the intelligence line in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area, Colonel Li, your contribution is no less than your ability to decipher the second-generation cipher machine! When you get out, everyone will naturally reward you based on your merits. Everyone deserves it, even Long
Colonel Kawakawa is also very grateful for your cooperation these days."
Wang Tianxiang clapped his hands as he spoke, and then several of his subordinates walked in from outside, holding several new sets of clothes that had just been made.
"This is a special order from Colonel Longchuan. I personally went to Zhenxingxiang to purchase it. However, these are all clothes that have been ordered by others. Please bear with me whether they fit or not. They are all new clothes after all.
Spirit, there will be a feast tonight, just to reward you all. Let’s go home early tomorrow morning!”
"What did you say?" Before he finished speaking, Jin Shenghuo exclaimed in disbelief, "Going back home? Director Wang, you are letting us wear new clothes and eat well, but it doesn't seem like you are asking us to do so."
Let us go back home, are you going to send us on the road?"
