At around ten o'clock at night, Jiang Xinyu drove back home.
He had just returned from the pier, and the last ferry was at nine o'clock in the evening.
The reason why I personally took charge was mainly because I was worried about Hu Di's safety. After all, there were secret agents all over the dock. It was not impossible for them to be found out.
Fortunately, everything went normally and there were no unexpected incidents.
Zhou Weiguo's identity has been exposed. No matter what the final result is, it is impossible for him to carry out the mission again, let alone serve as his own telegraph operator.
Jiang Xinyu first went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, then walked quietly upstairs, entered the bedroom, put on his pajamas, and sat on the bed to rest for a while.
In the dead of night, your hearing becomes particularly sensitive.
"Didi-di-di-di-di..."
In the quiet room, the faint ticking of the transmitter could be heard.
Jiang Xinyu listened for a while, then he stood up and opened the drawer, took out the pistol, loaded the bullet with a click, opened the door and walked towards the study.
When he arrived at the door of the study, the voice became clearer and clearer. Jiang Xinyu suddenly opened the door and rushed in with a pistol raised.
In the study room, the transmitter was placed on the desk. Tong Tong was wearing pajamas and headphones, tapping the buttons attentively.
"I'm scared to death. What's wrong with you? You didn't knock on the door first when you came in!" Tong Tong stroked his chest with his hand and expressed dissatisfaction with Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu was stunned for a few seconds, then closed the door and whispered: "Tongtong, what are you doing?"
"Practice sending a message, don't worry, I didn't set up an antenna, the signal can't be traced..."
"How do you know where the radio station is?"
"The study is so big, so it's not easy to find it. Last time, I heard you opening the bookcase outside the door, and I knew the radio must be hidden in it. Am I smart?"
Seeing Jiang Xinyu's cold face, Tong Tong knew what he was doing was wrong and muttered: "I've thought about it too. You're right. I'm really not suitable for underground work. However, I should be a radio operator."
Is that no problem? Just send telegrams normally, and there is no need to steal information."
"Who did you learn to send messages from?"
"Brother Wang taught me before, but he didn't have the heart to learn at that time... I just practiced for a while, and I felt like something wasn't quite right."
Jiang Xinyu said helplessly: "Even if you want to practice sending a message, you have to lock the door, right? If Xiaobutun and Rongrong come in, how will you explain it?"
"I told Little Button not to let her go upstairs. Rongrong has already gone to bed. She is so young, she wouldn't understand even if she saw it... By the way, why did you come back so late?"
"There is official business at the station."
"What kind of official business do you have in the middle of the night? Are you going to arrest someone? Little Button went out to buy groceries at noon. I heard from others that someone was shooting at Yuanxiang Teahouse."
Jiang Xinyu sat in silence for a while, then stood up and unplugged the transmitter and said, "Tongtong, telegraphy is difficult to learn. Besides, it's useless if you learn it. Don't touch it again in the future."
"Why is it useless? If there is an emergency and you can't get away from the Secrecy Bureau, I can help you send the report at home." Tong Tong said unconvinced.
Jiang Xinyu felt something in his heart. What Tong Tong said was not entirely unreasonable, so he said, "Do you really want to learn?"
Tong Tong nodded repeatedly: "I think."
"Let's do this. As long as I have time in the future, I will teach you. I will start with theoretical knowledge. If you can persist, I will let you practice it."
"Teach me now?"
"It's too late, go to bed early."
"I can not sleep……"
Jiang Xinyu put the transmitter into the box and put it back in the bookcase. He said, "Look at what time it is. If you don't sleep, it will be dawn."
Tong Tong said: "In the afternoon, I coaxed Rongrong to sleep, and I took a nap too. Now it's better. I've been lying down for more than an hour, and I can't fall asleep after tossing and turning."
"So, you dug through the telegraph machine just to kill time?"
"No, no, I really want to help you."
"I'm tired, let's talk tomorrow."
"Oh well……"
…………
Two days later.
In a private room of a teahouse, Jiang Xinyu and Xu Li were sitting opposite each other.
"What do you want from me?" Jiang Xinyu asked.
Xu Li said: "In the past two days, there have been a lot of spies at the dock station. I'm worried that they are targeting No. 9..."
"Yes, it is indeed aimed at No. 9's first palm."
"What happened?"
"Do you know about the shooting incident at Yuanxiang Teahouse?"
"heard."
"That day, Chief No. 9 and I made an appointment to meet there. Unexpectedly, we met Shen Zhifeng. If it weren't for the cover of other comrades, Chief No. 9 almost had an accident."
"I said my eyelids have been twitching lately. It's indeed an ominous sign."
Jiang Xinyu smiled: "A top student from Peking University, an atheist who believes in the idea of abortive abortion, actually believes in the so-called ominous omen. Old Xu, are you kidding me?"
Xu Li also smiled and said: "It's mainly due to the influence of my wife. She is superstitious about these things all day long. No, tomorrow she said she was going to Chaoyin Temple to burn incense and make a wish to bless her two sons."
Jiang Xinyu said: "It's human nature, you have your beliefs, she has hers, that's fine... Lao Xu, have you ever thought about how your sister-in-law would react if she knew your identity one day?
"
"...I guess she will be scared. What about you, have you ever thought about it?"
"I have thought about it. My wife must be calm and calm. She is not interested in politics. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are all the same to her."
The two of them chatted about insignificant topics, each feeling very relaxed in their hearts. Life is not only about revolutionary work, but also about daily chores such as daily necessities and household chores.
Jiang Xinyu took a sip from the tea bowl and said: "At this time, it's basically a clear card. Shen Zhifeng knew that Chen Lizhi was suspected, but he didn't dare to arrest people."
"He has no evidence." Xu Li said.
"Yes. Besides, Chen Lizhi and Chen Jieshan have an unusual relationship, which is what makes Shen Zhifeng afraid."
"With Chen Jieshan as his backer, Chen Lizhi should not be in danger."
Jiang Xinyu nodded: "As long as Chen Jieshan is here, at least he will not be in danger for the time being... For us, the most important thing at the moment is another thing."
"What's up?"
"Yanjin Station holds more than 30 upright prisoners, including Zhao Guisheng, who was arrested some time ago. According to the information I have, they may be secretly executed before the end of the month."
"Execution? More than thirty lives, don't you need to go through the court to pronounce the sentence?"
"The Kuomintang government has lost patience with these progressive people who are loyal to our party. As far as I know, not only Yanjin, but also Chongqing has begun to take action. A large number of upright criminals have been secretly executed. The situation is exactly the same as here.
"
Xu Li patted the table lightly and said in a hateful voice: "It's cruel and inhumane. This is what Chi Luoluo did to punish Xi Shi!"
Jiang Xinyu said: "So, the rebellious government will not last long. They can hide it for a while, but they cannot hide it for a lifetime. Those high-ranking culprits will eventually be nailed to the shame rack of history!"
"Let's do this, I will contact the reporter tomorrow and expose them in the newspaper..."
"There were also reporters in Chongqing who questioned it, but in the end they ignored it. The main reason was that there was no evidence. In addition, exposing them would not help the outcome."
Xu Li said anxiously: "What should we do? Are we just watching helplessly? That's more than thirty lives!"
Jiang Xinyu sighed softly: "Maybe, we are really powerless in this matter..."
