Jiang Xinyu guessed well. The man he met at the Xinmei Grand Theater was the special commissioner. His name was Gao Yunsheng, a native of Huairou, Hebei Province, and an experienced veteran underground.
At this moment, he walked up the stairs and was greeted by the waiter who said, "Sir, what's the box number?"
Gao Yunsheng said: "Box No. 1."
"You made a reservation yesterday, right?"
"right."
"Please come here..."
After entering the box, Gao Yunsheng looked downstairs. Guests were entering in twos and threes, and there was nothing unusual.
He opened the curtains, and the tower was reflected diagonally across the glass of the Lucky Tea House.
The waiter quickly brought refreshments and said attentively: "Sir, I'm just outside. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Okay. Oh, I have a friend coming over in a minute, just ask her to come in directly." Gao Yunsheng instructed.
"Don't worry, you can't make a mistake." The waiter bowed and left.
Gao Yunsheng sits on the chair opposite the window. As long as the tower sends a warning signal, he can respond quickly as soon as possible.
On the first floor of the theater, Shen Zhifeng looked around and said: "It's really very concealed when we meet in a place like this. Even if we are exposed, we still have a chance to escape in the chaos!"
Wang Xinrui looked at the box upstairs, calculated the distance in his mind, and said, "That window should be box No. 1!"
Shen Zhifeng said to Bai Jumin: "Go and see who is in the box, don't disturb them!"
"Understood!" Bai Jumin stepped upstairs.
The waiter was waiting at the top of the stairs, bowed and said, "Sir, what's the box number for you?"
"Box No. 2!"
"Are you a friend of Mr. Luo?"
"Well."
"Second Master Luo hasn't arrived yet, please come here!"
Bai Jumin came to the door of box number one. He planned to take a look at the situation inside on the pretext of walking into the wrong box.
At this moment, the waiter came over with a tray and said: "You are on the wrong track. This is No. 1, and the one next to it is No. 2!"
Bai Jumin glanced at the house number and said in a pretense of surprise: "Oh, I really went to the wrong place..."
The waiter smiled, then reached out and knocked on the door. Gao Yunsheng in the box said: "Please come in."
Bai Jumin didn't go far, so he took the opportunity to look inside and saw a man sitting on a chair with his back to him, flipping through a newspaper in his hand.
Wanting to see more, the box door had been closed. Bai Jumin didn't dare to stay long and hurried downstairs to report to Shen Zhifeng.
In order not to attract other people's attention, Shen Zhifeng also bought a ticket. The table was in the middle. He drank tea while paying attention to the entrance of the theater.
Bai Jumin came closer and said to Shen Zhifeng: "Yes, it's Box No. 1."
Shen Zhifeng remained silent and kept his original sitting posture, saying: "How many people are there?"
"one."
"What kind of person is he?"
"He turned his back to the door and didn't see his face."
Wang Xinrui suddenly said: "Which way does the box door open?"
Bai Jumin thought for a moment and said, "To the east."
Wang Xinrui nodded slowly and said to himself: "That's right..."
Shen Zhifeng said: "What's wrong?"
Wang Xinrui explained: "The direction in which that person sat was such that he could see the opposite window. Moreover, he was not sitting directly facing the stage!"
Shen Zhifeng's eyes flashed and he immediately understood what Wang Xinrui meant. It was really for the guests watching the theater. It was impossible to sit facing the window!
Unless there is one situation, that person is not coming to see the show at all!
At this moment, in box number one.
A woman pushed the door open, closed the door behind her, and said, "Excuse me, do you have any tung oil for sale?"
Gao Yunsheng stood up and said, "You are mistaken. I only do cotton business."
When the codes were met, the woman smiled and said, "What's your last name?"
"My surname is Gao, Gao Yunsheng. Hello, Miss Ju!"
"you know me?"
"Of course. Mr. Zhou asked me to take care of it for you!"
The woman, Miss Ju, was slightly excited and said, "Please convey my gratitude to Mr. Zhou for me!"
After sitting down, Gao Yunsheng glanced at the window. Everything in the tower was normal. He calmed down and said, "Miss Ju, I have something important to do here this time..."
“Tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the box door, and then the waiter came in with a tray. There was a roll of white towels on the tray and said: "Sir, the white towel you asked for."
Gao Yunsheng looked puzzled and said, "Did you make a mistake? I didn't ask for a towel."
"It was sent to me by Mr. Feilong..."
"Oh, I got it, go out."
The waiter bowed and left.
Gao Yunsheng looked solemn, reached out and took off his hat from the wall, and said to Miss Ju: "We must leave here immediately!"
Miss Ju said: "What's wrong?"
"There's a spy!"
"how do you know?"
Gao Yunsheng didn't have time to explain, so he ordered: "Miss Ju, let's go separately, don't panic..."
Miss Ju nodded and said: "I'm fine, just be careful!"
The two came out of the box. Gao Yunsheng pointed to the stairs on the west side. Miss Ju nodded. One of them took the main stairs and the other took the west stairs.
Shen Zhifeng glanced at his watch. It was just after five o'clock in the afternoon and said, "It's almost time. If that person is indeed the Communist Party, the contact person should also be here!"
Without any instructions, Bai Jumin got up and went upstairs again. This time, he didn't need to peep secretly and could conduct an honest inspection.
Shen Zhifeng thought for a moment and said to Wang Xinrui: "You stay here, I will go up with him..."
Just as he was saying this, the lights in the theater suddenly went out, and the room suddenly became dark. Although the light was not too dark, it still caused panic.
"Why is there a power outage?"
"How can we watch a show like this..."
"Refund the ticket!"
"You stepped on my foot!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
The theater was in chaos.
The lights on the street were bright, and there was obviously no power outage nearby. Shen Zhifeng suddenly became alert, took out a pistol from his waist, and walked quickly upstairs.
Wang Xinrui also stood up. He wanted to go upstairs with Shen Zhifeng. He glanced at the stairs on the west side, thought for a while and walked over.
Due to the sudden power outage, the guests on the second floor stopped working and came out of their private rooms one after another. Many people went downstairs, intending to go find the manager and ask questions.
When she came to the west stairway and looked at the dark wooden stairs, Wang Xinrui hesitated for a while and then walked up slowly.
There were hurried footsteps on the wooden stairs. Someone was walking down the stairs quickly. Wang Xinrui asked in the darkness: "Who are you?"
Miss Ju on the opposite side did not answer, but forced her way past Wang Xinrui.
"Hey, what's wrong with you!"
The stairs were very narrow, and Miss Ju exerted great force from top to bottom, causing the petite Wang Xinrui to stumble. Using her inertia, she stretched out her hand and pulled off the buttons of Miss Ju's windbreaker.
