Wang Jianqiu hurried into the library, handed the book in his hand to Geng Chaozhong, and whispered:
"Xie Yan has been watching for two days, and they have no intention of taking action yet, but I guess they will soon."
"Hmm." Geng Chaozhong looked out the window and pondered slightly.
Three days had passed since the meeting with Chen Gongshu. Wang Jianqiu had already spread the word, and Geng Chaozhong also sent people to keep an eye on Zhao Lijun's movements. However, Zhao Lijun could really keep his composure and never took action.
But this is not surprising. Although Zhao Lijun is greedy for both power and money, he is not a fool. On the contrary, Zhao Lijun is extremely thoughtful and will never take action easily without complete assurance.
"Where's Station Master Chen?" Geng Chaozhong asked again.
"Stationmaster Chen has gone back. He asked me to bring you a message. I will give you the full authority to handle it. It would be best if Zhao Kezhen died silently." Wang Jianqiu said.
"Silent?" Geng Chaozhong's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand and said, "Go down!"
"There is another news." Wang Jianqiu glanced out the window, "When I first came in, I saw that a yard outside the gate of Yan University was rented. It was said that a police station was going to be built and people would be stationed on campus.
.”
"Huh?" Geng Chaozhong was stunned.
"Brother Six, I have inquired about it. After Yang Xingfo was assassinated, the Peiping Municipal Office attached great importance to the safety of the education sector and universities. Yanjing University is in a remote western suburb and is sparsely populated and lacks police resources. Therefore, the Peking Police Office specially set up a police station near Yanjing University.
A police station is used to protect Yan students and teachers." Wang Jianqiu continued.
"Well..." Geng Chaozhong nodded.
This reason for setting up a police station was high-sounding and flawless, but Geng Chaozhong still habitually began to doubt everything.
To put it bluntly, once this police station is opened, the actions of the people under his command will be somewhat restricted, or maybe, it is directed at him?
Wang Jianqiu walked out, while Geng Chaozhong looked out the window in trance. After thinking for a moment, Geng Chaozhong started to walk outside the school door and looked up:
To the east of the school gate, next to Lehua Bookstore, there is a small courtyard of more than 100 square meters, where three or five police officers live. There is also a sign of the Peking Police Headquarters Yanjing University Branch at the door, showing that it has been rooted for a long time.
Geng Chaozhong frowned and said nothing. He walked into a nearby grocery store, dialed a phone number, said a few words briefly, then went out to find a rickshaw and went straight to Niutou Hutong behind Xijiaomin Lane.
Niutou Hutong is a traditional gathering place for Japanese expatriates in Peiping. The "Honma Hall" of the Peking Black Dragon Club is located here.
After getting out of the car, Geng Chaozhong pretended to be a passerby and walked out along Niutou Hutong. Not far away, he saw a Japanese man in a suit walking out of the club. After the two looked at each other from a distance, they were soon in Sanli.
We met at a small teahouse outside.
"Brother Six, what's the matter?" Yun Wei asked.
"I'll give you some credit," Geng Chaozhong glanced outside warily, "Someone is going to assassinate Zhao Kezhen, the director of the Peking Education Department. Please find a way to contact the leader of the Japanese Black Dragon Association of the "Homma Kaikan" and guide him to inform him.
Peking Special Higher Education Course.”
"Okay," Yun Wei agreed, lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking:
"The person taking me now is a Japanese named Kimura Kenji. How about I find an opportunity to take him to Xijiaomin Lane for a drink and give him some guidance?"
"It's up to you to arrange this. Just be careful and sabotage it. Don't let the assassins suffer too many casualties." Geng Chaozhong said.
"I'll try my best," Yun Wei nodded, "Are our people trying to assassinate you?"
"It's from Zhao Lijun's side." Geng Chaozhong smiled slightly.
"Understood," Yun Wei also smiled, "My notification is vague, as long as the Japanese can inform Zhao Kezhen in advance."
"Well, after all, we are one of our own, so don't go too far." Geng Chaozhong nodded.
The two discussed the details in a low voice and decided on the action plan before Yun Wei said:
"Brother Six, I have several situations here. One is that the Japanese Consul Keiji Koizumi visited the Black Dragon Society leader Honma Sokyu two days ago and discussed using the Black Dragon Society to organize a Northeastern pioneering group to immigrate to Peiping. The second is that
A large number of Japanese expatriates from Qingdao and Tianjin have come to Peiping to look for opportunities. They use their identities as businessmen, industrialists, club members, and students to travel, but they are actually investigating the military and political affairs of North China. Many of them are also engaged in smuggling, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.
Buy and sell.”
"Well, that's right. I will report this strategic information to the superiors. You did a good job." Geng Chaozhong nodded with satisfaction.
"There is one more thing that I think is interesting," Yun Wei looked out the window furtively, and then whispered:
"When Keiji Koizumi came to the Honma Kaikan, he brought a young woman with him, but he did not take her away when he left. Instead, he placed her in a small courtyard behind the Kaikan. The leader of the Honma Kaikan
There are several old Japanese ladies taking care of me, and I feel like the identity of this woman must be very important."
"How old is that woman?" Geng Chaozhong's eyes flashed.
"She must be eighteen or nineteen years old! Less than twenty at best. I heard those Japanese ladies call her 'Miss Junko'." Yun Wei looked thoughtful.
"Oh, I got it, let's continue the investigation."
Geng Chaozhong's heart was slightly agitated, but his face remained calm.
"Brother Six, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'm a newcomer and I'm afraid of attracting attention if I go out for too long." Yun Wei stood up.
"Okay, that's it. Remember, be careful in everything. The mission is not important, but survival is the most important." Geng Chaozhong whispered with a hint of concern in his eyes.
"Brother Six, don't worry." Yun Wei's eyes showed a bit of gratitude and he quickly walked away.
"Junko?"
Geng Chaozhong murmured to himself.
After four years, that little girl probably no longer recognizes me!
.........
Eight o'clock in the evening, Xijiaomin Lane, Zhao Mansion.
"Old Zhao, have you noticed anything wrong recently?" Yong Jie looked at Zhao Kezhen carefully.
"There's something wrong," Zhao Kezhen touched his chin, "Are the Japanese targeting me again?"
"No, why are the Japanese looking at you? You are just the director of education. At most, you help them arrange some slavish and Japanese teaching materials in the school. Are they still afraid that you will run away?" Yong Jie said.
"Who is that? Nanjing?" Zhao Kezhen frowned.
His identity is actually extremely safe. He has been lurking for so long. Except for the Japanese who stared at him for a while when they first came to Peiping, he has hardly encountered any major trouble.
"Old Zhao, you'd better be careful, I always feel something is wrong lately." Yong Jie shook her head.
The two were discussing in low voices when suddenly there was a "pop" and a big hole was smashed into the glass of their bedroom. Then a cry of "traitor" came from the street. Zhao Kezhen shook his head helplessly and picked up the
Stones on the ground.
"Um?"
Holding the stone in his hand, Zhao Kezhen realized something was wrong. The stone was actually wrapped with a layer of paper. Zhao Kezhen peeled off the paper, and a line of small words was clearly written on it:
The Tianjin party organization has been destroyed, your identity has been exposed, and the person identified is Li Qingshan, director of the Political Training Office of the Tianjin 24th Brigade. Also: the Secret Service has determined to assassinate you, and will do it at any time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Signature: 104
Zhao Kezhen was horrified and quickly walked to the window and looked outside. There was no one else there.
"Who is it?" Yong Jie looked a little wary.
"104, we have been exposed!" Zhao Kezhen's face turned pale.
"Really?" Yong Jie's expression also changed drastically.
"There won't be any lies, otherwise 104 wouldn't be afraid to come see me!"
Zhao Kezhen read the note again, then tore it into pieces and swallowed them piece by piece. He closed the curtains and said through gritted teeth: "Li Qingshan, this bastard!"
"Don't worry about this now, what should we do? What should we do with our daughter?" Yong Jie's face turned pale.
"My daughter is fine, Nanjing still needs to be embarrassed," Zhao Kezhen waved his hand and quickly regained his composure, "It seems that people from the Secret Service have been checking the spots these days. I guess it might be that Assistant Manager Zhou who is behind the scenes.
.”
"He just saved our daughter, and now he wants to kill you?" Yong Jie murmured to herself.
"What's so strange about that?" Zhao Kezhen glanced at his wife helplessly, only to find that her wife looked distracted, so he sighed and said:
"Jie, calm down. Agents are agents after all. Humanity will eventually give way to cold blood. Save me today and kill me tomorrow. What's so surprising about this? It all depends on changes in interests!"
"I know," Yongjie seemed to have finally calmed down, "The question is, what should we do now?"
Zhao Kezhen shook his head and whispered:
"It's ridiculous that I wanted to take advantage of him. I didn't expect trouble to come in a blink of an eye. However, it won't be easy for the Secret Service to kill me. Vice President Wang will definitely not give up with Chang Kaishen."
"Oh, Lao Zhao!" Yong Jie stamped her feet anxiously, "Vice President Wang is useless. If he had the ability, he would have been the president of the Kuomintang long ago. It's Chang Kaishen's turn to make the decision? You still watch after all this time?
I don’t understand, even if Mr. Sun feeds the cake into his mouth, he can still eat it in his crotch!”
"puff!"
His wife's words made Zhao Kezhen laugh.
"You're still smiling, please think of a solution!" Yong Jie looked at her husband's face and was speechless.
"It's okay, I've thought about it," Zhao Kezhen's face remained as calm as ever, "Killing me is not that simple. On the contrary, this is a good opportunity!"
"What opportunity?" Yong Jie opened her eyes wide.
"As long as I don't die, the Japanese will completely believe me!" Zhao Kezhen said.
"Are you crazy?!" Yongjie's eyes opened wider and wider.
"What are you afraid of! How can it be so easy to kill me?!" Zhao Kezhen waved his hand vigorously, "The Japanese have always wanted to bribe me, but I understand the character of the Japanese and will never reuse the guy who comes to the door. As long as
Once I pass this level, the Japanese will completely trust me, and the tasks assigned to me by the party organization will be carried out perfectly! This trick is called playing hard to get! It is the same as pursuing a woman...
..."
“…..”
Zhao Kezhen stopped talking and looked at his wife awkwardly.
Yong Jie's face was very unkind. She stared at Zhao Kezhen coldly, grabbed the soft flesh under his waist, stared at Zhao Kezhen, and said fiercely:
"Tell me, was that how you lied to me in the first place?!"
"Oh, don't make trouble, I'm here to talk about business!" Zhao Kezhen screamed in pain, "It's all about sesame seeds and rotten millet, why are you digging it out?"
"You know so much about old sesame and rotten millet. Have you deceived other women in the past few years?" Yong Jie became even more angry.
"No, no, your husband is going to die, why are you still holding on to these useless things!" Zhao Kezhen was speechless. It is completely unreasonable for a woman to be jealous.
"Do you think I'm unreasonable?" Yong Jie glared at Zhao Kezhen fiercely, "I'm telling you, I don't understand things. You should quickly find a way out and I'll settle the score with you later!"
...........
Geng Chaozhong had no idea that Zhao Kezhen and his wife were such people, but they had one thing in common, that is, they both had a spirit of revolutionary optimism.
It’s hard work anyway, so why can’t we be happier?
Now he was staying at Wang Jianqiu's residence, holding a bottle of wine and eating the peanuts that he had not finished a few days ago, quite enjoying himself.
Several noises were heard outside the door, and Geng Chaozhong stopped chewing.
"Come back?" Geng Chaozhong asked, looking at Wang Jianqiu who had just stepped through the door.
Plop!
Wang Jianqiu, who had just entered the door, almost tripped over the threshold. He looked at Geng Chaozhong sitting in the darkness and asked in shock: "Brother Six, when did you come here? Why didn't you turn on the light?"
"Test your alertness, but it seems you failed." Geng Chaozhong said.
Listening to Geng Chaozhong's relaxed tone, Wang Jianqiu took a deep breath and said:
"Brother Six, I went to Cuiyunxuan to have a few drinks. I was indeed a bit negligent. I must be careful next time."
"Well, there is a rule in the office that you can't drink while on duty. But, that's a rubbish rule. It's not normal if you don't drink when you're away for a long time, so I never say anything to you. But having said that, be more careful and you can
"You can save more lives. Do you understand what I mean?" Geng Chaozhong said quietly.
"My little brother understands."
Wang Jianqiu nodded repeatedly, reached out and turned on the light bulb. Under the dim light, Geng Chaozhong was sitting in the corner, holding a wine bottle in one hand and a small plate in the other. There were only a few peanuts left in the plate. It seemed that they were already there.
I've been in the house for a long time.
"I hope you understand!"
Geng Chaozhong stood up and patted Wang Jianqiu on the shoulder.
