July 29, 1937, Shanghai, around ten o'clock at night.
It was this night that operator Xiao Ancheng went out on a mission for the first time with team leader Chen Zifeng.
Their mission is simple and cold, to secretly search for Japanese spies! If they are found and confirmed, they will set up a trap to capture them! If they cannot be caught! Damn it! Just kill them! Then eliminate all traces!
Chen Zifeng's third action team is affiliated to the Shanghai District Second Action Brigade of the Lixingshe Secret Service.
The name Lixingshe Secret Service is inconvenient for the public, and the team members claim to be members of the Intelligence Department of the Military Commission.
The director of the Secret Service is Dai Li. The brothers call him "Boss Dai" behind his back.
Although it was night at this time, there was not a breath of wind blowing across the Huangpu River. The rainy season has not yet passed, and Shanghai, which is close to the river and the sea, is as humid and hot as ever, making it unbearable.
"That guy has a buzz cut! Do you think it's strange?" In the darkness, a ferocious sneer appeared on Chen Zifeng's face.
"Shanghai people either have their heads split, their heads are carried backwards, or they have natural heads, which is quite strange." Xiao Ancheng nodded to him.
Chen Zifeng had dark skin, was thin and lean, and his eyes were as calm as a cone. He stared at the pedestrians walking nearby like a hawk. After confirming that they were just ordinary people, he turned his eyes to others.
Wearing a half-worn Chinese trousers, he was like a snobby clerk in a pawn shop who welcomes people to and from people. He always weighs the status of the visitor. At this time, he was leading Xiao Ancheng through the crowded and narrow alley, calmly speaking.
Walk forward.
"I took a look at him from a distance! I guess he should be the boss!" He continued to introduce the situation to Xiao Ancheng.
"What does he look like?" Xiao Ancheng asked in surprise.
"The eyes are gloomy, the bridge of the nose is as straight as an eagle, the masseter lines around the mouth are deep, the long ribs are medium, and the chin is hard. The body is very strong, and I guess his boxing and kicking are also good!" Chen Zifeng described in detail the "inch head" in his impression.
"What do you want to do tonight?" Xiao Ancheng became even more interested.
"Confirm if he is a Japanese spy! It's best to find his lair!"
Xiao Ancheng leaned close to Chen Zifeng's ear and whispered: "Zifeng, I haven't seen you for more than a year, you are more like a killer!"
Chen Zifeng reached out to grab his wrist. Xiao Ancheng was on guard and dodged nimbly.
But Chen Zifeng's move was a fake move, and he used his backhand to grab his shoulder.
Xiao Ancheng tiptoed, jumped up slightly, and strangled his neck with his right arm, smiling proudly.
Chen Zifeng whispered: "An thief, what will you do if I fall backwards!"
Xiao Ancheng laughed and let go first, "A killer is a killer! There is always a ruthless move behind!"
They walked out of the alley and onto Etoia Road.
Aidoya Road is a relatively prosperous street in Shanghai, with bright lights, many pedestrians, and a scene of singing and dancing.
They stopped fighting and walked forward like two ordinary people.

Chen Zifeng's third group consists of ten people, living in a Shikumen house in Qiaojia Lane, Huolun Mofang Street.
Yesterday evening, Xiao Ancheng packed the radio in his suitcase and reported to Chen Zifeng's third team.
Chen Zifeng said to the brothers in the hall: "This is Xiaotai, Xiao'ancheng." He introduced his team members one by one.
A team member named Yang Sanqiang smiled and asked: "What channel?"
Chen Zifeng glared at him, "Radio station! Boss Dai ordered that each group be equipped with a radio station!"
Yang Sanqiang curled his lips, "Group Chen, it looks like there's really going to be a war here in Shanghai!"
The "July 7th Incident" shocked the world, and the anti-Japanese trend in China was even more turbulent.
This morning, they got the news from the newspaper that Peiping fell last night!
The team members looked at the newspaper with serious expressions on their faces.
Chen Zifeng glared at Yang Sanqiang and said: "Whether there is a war or not, just be prepared! The higher authorities asked us to kill the Japanese spies! They also sent a radio station! They all prove this!"
Standing next to Yang Sanqiang was a young and beautiful girl. She kept looking at Xiao Ancheng with her big shining eyes.
Without waiting for Chen Zifeng's introduction, she stretched out her hand to Xiao Ancheng and said softly: "Xiao Tai, I am Qiao Yanfang."
Xiao Ancheng never expected that there would be such a beautiful girl in Chen Zifeng's group.
When he shook hands with her, he knew that this girl was anything but ordinary! Her hands were anything but slender or soft! If you wanted to compare it to a wolf's claw, I'm afraid there's no more appropriate metaphor. Her hands were hard and powerful!
She held his hand with a smile and said: "Xiao Tai, I am actually quite interested in reporting. If I have a chance, can I ask you for advice?"
Xiao Ancheng looked at her and simply didn't know what to say.
Chen Zifeng stepped in between them and said: "Xiao Qiao, you should do your business! This is Qiang Hu." He pointed at another team member next to him.
Xiao Ancheng turned around and shook hands with the man named Qiang Hu. The first thing he noticed was Qiang Hu's fierce eyes.

Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng walked slowly on Aidoya Road. They stopped at the tram stop and waited for the tram.
We went out to perform a mission tonight, and we were working in pairs. Except for Xiao Ancheng, there were nine people in the group.
In this way, Chen Zifeng was alone. He glanced at Xiao Ancheng so casually.
Xiao Ancheng vaguely guessed what ulterior motives he might be playing, and said, "Zifeng, let me help you."
Chen Zifeng nodded, but said nothing.
Xiao Ancheng looked at the brightly lit shops on both sides of the street and remembered the scene before going out.
"To help you tonight, are you just waiting for me to speak?" he asked.
"You don't want to speak, why do you still want me to speak? You are a thief!" Chen Zifeng said with a crooked mouth.
"Why?" Xiao Ancheng was still a little confused.
"Didn't you see Xiao Qiao staring at you? Do you want to help her?"
"No, no, don't. I guess she is a killer just like you!"
"It's up to you! If you help her, you may not get any good results from her!"
"What happened to that strong tiger?"
Chen Zifeng laughed, "He has been pursuing Xiao Qiao for almost a year! You, a handsome guy, are what he hates the most!"
At this time, Xiao Ancheng thought of another girl who had been hiding in his heart for two years, Liao Ruolan.
He asked in a low voice: "Zifeng, do you have any news about Ruolan?"
Chen Zifeng stared at him with a sinister look, shook his head and said, "No! Not at all!"
They didn't speak any more. The tram came, they got on it and left.
Xiao Ancheng and Chen Zifeng were classmates at Tongji University. They also had a female classmate, Liao Ruolan. But when they entered the second year, they couldn't go on.
At that time, Japan had invaded Northeast China for several years, and the arrogant Japanese army was gradually squeezing into North China. The humiliating feeling of being ridden by the little Japanese made them unable to go to school with peace of mind.
There are also some exiled students from the Northeast in the school, who often gather together. They sing "My Home is on the Songhua River in the Northeast" at one gathering, and the singers burst into tears.
Chen Zifeng had some contempt for them. He felt that singing, singing and shedding tears in gatherings would not drive away the Japanese soldiers! Let alone take back the occupied land! The national crisis was so heavy that the eyes they looked at each other were somewhat gloomy and severe.
One day in his second year of college, Xiao Ancheng grabbed Chen Zifeng by the collar and stared at him.
"What are you doing!" Chen Zifeng asked.
"Go join the army! Are you going or not?" Xiao Ancheng showed a very rare and vicious look.
"Now!" he asked fiercely.
"Now! How long do you have to wait!"
So, they jointly decided to join the army! They wanted to go to the battlefield and fight against little Japan with real swords and guns!
However, for some reason, they didn’t tell Liao Ruolan the news. They just left without saying goodbye!
They joined the army in May 1935. In August, they were recommended by their superiors and secretly joined the Lixingshe Secret Service. In October, they were sent to the sixth special training class of the Hangzhou Police School to receive rigorous special agent training.
The head teacher of the sixth special training class is Dai Li, the director of the Secret Service.
The deputy director of this class was Yu Lexing, who had served as an early leader of the Communist Party of China. In France, Zhou Enlai was ordered to return to China to lead the revolution, and the person who succeeded him was Yu Lexing.
Yu Lexing was later called the "training expert" of the military commander.
The special training class they are in is divided into six teams. Teams 1, 2, and 3 are the police security training team, team 4 is the all-round agent training team, team 5 is the car driving training team, and team 6 is the telecommunications investigation training team.
Chen Zifeng joined the fourth team and received advanced agent training. The training was extremely difficult! Xiao Ancheng joined the sixth team and learned telecommunications and investigation.
Chen Zifeng studied for six months and was sent to Shanghai to perform a mission after graduation.
It is said that he performed well and was promoted to leader of the third lieutenant action team due to his meritorious service.
