The appointment is over and the wait for the meeting begins.
The next day the weather was nice and sunny.
After having a meal in the cafeteria with the Intelligence Department and others at noon, we spent time in the office.
I looked at my watch and it was one forty, got up and left the Intelligence Section.
Come to Luojiawan intersection and wait for a while.
Meng Jiaqi has a very strong sense of time. As expected, he appeared at the intersection on time at two o'clock. He was dressed youthfully and beautifully today.
The floral long skirt shows elegance.
Her hair is slightly longer than when we first met, making her look even more distinguished.
Seeing Song Shutang waiting here, she took two quick steps forward and said, "Wait a while."
"Just arrived."
"Let's go there."
"Take a rickshaw." Song Shutang said.
Meng Jiaqi came here on foot, not by rickshaw.
"good."
Youth Building is located on Daliangzi Park Road, which is the Zhongshan Park that I have visited before.
Activities are often held here, and it has become a specific gathering place. Previously, most of them were in Zhongshan Park, and now there are also many gatherings in the Youth Building.
The two got on the rickshaw at the intersection and headed towards the Youth Building.
By the time we arrived, there were already quite a few people here.
The banner still read "Shancheng Women's National Salvation Federation", so there were mostly women present. There was also a banner that read "Donate special funds to purchase aircraft to enhance air defense capabilities" indicating that this event was to raise funds for the purchase of aircraft.
Meng Jiaqi knew that Song Shutang's request to meet today might have a deeper meaning.
But when we arrived, we were separated in two cars and it was difficult to talk. When we arrived at the scene, we were immediately dragged into work, and we also couldn't find a chance to talk.
Song Shutang was not in a hurry and followed Meng Jiaqi to put the donation into the donation box first.
This time he donated a thousand dollars.
When Meng Jiaqi saw this, he smiled and said, "Wealthy and rich!"
"Do your part."
The mountain city's air defense is particularly critical. Enemy planes frequently attack and harass, and a heavy price has been paid for this. Now the whole city has launched a special donation event for aircraft to deal with future air attacks.
So a donation of one thousand is not too much.
I heard that several famous people and powerful people around the mountain city even donated an airplane on their own, and there were even more generous people in the mountain city.
The woman who just stood in front of Song Shutang seemed to be dressed plainly, but she was wearing a pair of jade bracelets. She thought the quality was rare and far beyond his comparison.
After the donation was over, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he asked Meng Jiaqi, "Is there anyone who needs my help?"
Meng Jiaqi knew that today's business had not yet been mentioned, and Song Shutang would not leave easily, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "You are also responsible for taking care of a donation box and registering the information of the donors so that you can thank them in the future and make the money transparent."
"no problem."
Song Shutang was arranged to partner up with a middle-aged woman. After chatting, he learned that she was a teacher and she had time to come to help today.
The female teacher was gentle and courteous, so she was responsible for thanking the donors at the donation box and asking for basic information. Song Shutang sat at the table and lowered his head to record.
He had already started recording the conversation during the conversation. He did not need to be reminded by the female teacher to repeat it, so the first cooperation was very efficient.
Donors from all walks of life were very enthusiastic. Although the amount of donations was high and low, they were sincere.
It was so busy that the sun set and I couldn't see anything, so today's donation activity came to an end.
"This is a record of information, please take a look at it, teacher." Song Shutang smiled and handed over the paper in his hand.
When the female teacher took it and saw it, her eyes lit up. The handwriting was clean and neat, and the records were clear and clear. She couldn't help but praise: "Good handwriting."
"Just for fun."
"What's your job?"
Just when the female teacher's interest was high, Meng Jiaqi appeared in time and said: "I will not participate in the accounting work in the evening and will leave."
After saying that, he took Song Shutang and left.
The female teacher smiled when she saw this.
"You come to help me today, and I'll treat you to dinner." Meng Jiaqi said proactively.
"good."
The two of them found a restaurant near the park and ordered food for dinner.
While eating, Song Shutang chatted and asked, "What have you been busy with these days?"
"He is busy preparing a manuscript about the Pingjiang Massacre and condemns the bad behavior of the Kuomintang die-hards."
Meng Jiaqi came up and said something.
Song Shutang could only lower his head and eat after hearing this.
This matter is making a big fuss now, and few people know about it.
"Why are you in such a hurry to be discharged from the hospital?" Meng Jiaqi answered the truth. She was indeed busy with those things these days, and it was not directed at Song Shutang.
After all, what do the die-hards have to do with Song Shutang!
"Cory has a heavy workload, and I can't feel at ease even while staying in the hospital. I went back early to participate in the investigation."
"Spy?"
"Previously, the 'Mountain Ghost' designed an agency to lay mines after kidnapping you. Corey wanted to use these mines to investigate clues. Unfortunately, the circulation channels disappeared and the investigation for several days failed to yield any results."
"Landmines?" Meng Jiaqi asked.
"Yes, according to current analysis by professionals, the landmines were not brought to the mountain city by spies privately, but were obtained through secret channels in the mountain city."
"Yeah?"
"It's most likely the Shancheng Arsenal."
"Arsenal!" Meng Jiaqi, who had been listening to Song Shutang's words before, was a little surprised at this time.
At the same time, she confirmed that the meeting with Song Shutang today must be to talk about this matter.
But why is he telling himself this?
There are also arsenals under the jurisdiction of the Ordnance Industry Administration, and yet they dare to deal with Japanese spies. Isn't this an act of treason?
Meng Jiaqi gave up in surprise and asked, "I'm afraid the investigation into the arsenal will not go well, right?"
"Not only is it not going well, it can be said that it is running into obstacles everywhere. I want to investigate through purchasing channels but have no chance. It is a deadlock. Otherwise, I would not have time to participate in the donation event today."
"As long as it doesn't delay your work."
"Don't mention this troublesome matter, let's eat."
There is no need to say more at this point.
Song Shutang has made it clear what he should express.
It doesn't matter how much Meng Jiaqi understands. She only needs to report the matter to the Red Party.
So after eating, the two parted ways. She was still living in the city, while Song Shutang had to rush back to Xialuojiawan.
After watching Song Shutang get on the rickshaw and leave, Meng Jiaqi did not go back to his residence to rest, but changed his route to meet Lei Yanbin.
Although Xiong Yuxiang, the general manager of Xinhua Daily, also knew Song Shutang's identity, the relevant matter could only be reported to Lei Yanbin, the leader of the Unification Committee, which was considered the job of the Southern Bureau.
After ensuring safety on the road, Meng Jiaqi came to Lei Yanbin's residence.
"Enter."
"Team Leader Lei."
"Why are you free today?" Lei Yanbin knew that Xinhua Daily had been busy recently due to the Pingjiang massacre, and Meng Jiaqi didn't even have time to visit Song Shutang in the hospital, so he was a little curious about her visit tonight.
Meng Jiaqi replied: "Yesterday Song Shutang made an appointment with me."
"Take the initiative to meet you?"
"yes."
"What did you say?"
Meng Jiaqi began to tell him everything that happened today. After hearing this, Lei Yanbin immediately said: "This kid really takes the wrong approach."
"May I ask Team Leader Lei, what is the purpose of Song Shutang?" Meng Jiaqi actually didn't quite understand now.
After all, she didn't know about the Southern Bureau's secret purchase of weapons.
She even didn't have a gun at all. After all, her status was not suitable for carrying a gun.
Lei Yanbin explained: "The current focus of the Intelligence Division is not on catching spies, but on finding out who is secretly selling arms in the Shancheng Arsenal."
"How dare they do such a serious violation of military discipline?"
"Why don't they dare?" Lei Yanbin felt that there was nothing surprising.
"But the Intelligence Division is investigating this matter and telling us what to do?"
"Want us to help."
"help?"
"The Military Control Bureau does not know the private channels for purchasing weapons, so Song Shutang wants us to provide them."
After hearing this, Meng Jiaqi reacted and said, "The organization also purchased weapons and equipment through secret channels?"
"Yeah." Lei Yanbin didn't hide anything.
"But the organization's move is also against the regulations. If it provides help to the Intelligence Division, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?"
"So he just hinted at you today without clarifying his words. He just wanted to convey to us that they only want information and are not looking for trouble."
"Can you believe it?" Meng Jiaqi has recently come across too much information about the Pingjiang massacre, as well as information about many previous frictional massacres, and is wary of people in the government.
Lei Yanbin did not make an immediate decision, but said: "I will go back to Hongyanzui tomorrow to discuss the matter with the bureau."
The two of them can't make a decision yet on this matter.
"Then I'll go back first."
"Be careful on the road."
Meng Jiaqi was also curious about what decisions the organization made.
He was also shocked that the arsenal dared to act like this.
The most important thing is that the choice of Song Shutang is a bit unexpected. He actually wanted to ask the Red Party for help, and he also got the support of the Intelligence Department.
On the way back to his residence, Meng Jiaqi couldn't help but wonder whether the organization would provide help.
After all, you can easily get yourself into trouble!
