Yingji was still standing in front of the bed, looking at Mr. Lin motionlessly, with a faint smile on his face that was not very kind.
18-30
The night is not over yet!
At about five o'clock in the morning, a strange thing happened in Shuihua Alley!
All the windows in the small building were darkened, including the duty room downstairs. The brothers in the duty room were actually sitting in the dark, looking at the small courtyard and the closed door outside.
Just when he turned his eyes, he vaguely saw a white thing flying in from the outside and landing on the ground!
He stood up and stared outside cautiously. There was indeed a white thing on the ground outside. He held his breath and listened, but there was no movement at all outside! It was so quiet that it seemed to be haunted!
He observed and listened again, confirmed that there was no movement outside, and immediately left the duty room.
He found Qiang Hu in the big room and whispered: "Brother Hu, get up quietly, there seems to be something moving outside!"
Qiang Hu, a rough man, was also a good agent. When it came time to be meticulous, he was also meticulous enough. He immediately woke up the two brothers beside him, silently gestured to them, and pointed to the door.
A few of them didn't bother to get dressed, so they took out the pistols under their pillows, loaded the bullets with them, and quietly walked out of the door.
At the door of the small building, Qiang Hu gestured to the people around him. They were all old agents with rich experience, and they quickly split up!
One brother quickly walked through the small courtyard, sneaked to the gate, and looked out from the crack in the door. The other brother went upstairs into the radio station cabin and looked out of the window at the ink wash alley.
Xiao Ancheng was awakened by him. He quickly saw from this brother's gesture that something was going on outside. He quickly entered Chen Zifeng's room, shook him awake, and signaled him to get his weapon!
When Qiang Hu saw that everything had been arranged nearby, he made gestures like the brothers on duty.
This brother went out, lowered his head to search, and soon found something in a dark corner, a stone wrapped in paper!
18-31
There were no lights on in the radio room.
Xiao Ancheng turned on the flashlight next to him and illuminated the paper-wrapped stone in Chen Zifeng's hand! It also illuminated a few people around him!
Chen Zifeng slowly unfolded the paper, and there was indeed a stone inside! At this time, everyone noticed that there was a line of words on the paper, which read: "Tongyuanmen, Lixiang Hardware Store, Dujia Lane, north of Heping Road,
,suspicious!"
Lao Han, Qiao Yanfang and Leng Yue all came in and passed this note to each other, their faces full of questions!
Chen Zifeng gestured to Lao Han and whispered: "Take two brothers and go quietly, and keep an eye on this place first!"
Old Han nodded and left quietly.
Qiao Yanfang looked at the people around her and shook the note in her hand, "What do you mean?"
Leng Yue whispered: "Secret report!"
Qiao Yanfang turned back and stared at her, "Who is this?"
No one can answer this question. There are many intelligence agencies in Chongqing, including the Military Command, the Central Command, the Air Force Special Service Regiment, the Sixth Gendarmerie Regiment, the Post and Telecommunications Special Inspection Office, the Press Inspection Bureau, the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Department, the Special Agent Regiment of the Chairman’s Attendant’s Office, etc.
wait.
But who would pass information to the gendarmerie in this way? It is simply inexplicable!
Qiao Yanfang asked again: "What does suspicious mean? The Communist Party's secret liaison station? Doesn't this make us court death?"
Xiao Ancheng said: "Are you Japanese?"
Qiao Yanfang said: "Brother, even if this hardware store is opened by Japanese, there is no need to tell us like this!"
Chen Zifeng's eyes turned again and again, and finally said: "After dawn, let's go take a look. If it's suspicious, search it! I will know what it is after searching it!" He pointed to Qiao Yanfang again, "Other work is as usual!
"
18-32
At dawn, Chongqing, the accompanying capital, gradually woke up and started its own day.
It’s another new day. Time passes like this day by day. As time goes by, all relevant people are becoming more and more vigilant, and their nerves are getting tighter and tighter!
They are like hidden evil beasts. The first thing they do when they open their eyes is to peek at the dangers around them, looking for their prey and waiting for the opportunity to pounce!
Last night, when Chen Zifeng said that other work remained as usual, he was referring to this situation!
18-33
First of all, it was at this time that the three surveillance points set up by Chen Zifeng's gendarmerie near Tongyuanmen changed shifts.
The brother who had been waiting all night left the window tiredly and stretched himself to find a place to sleep.
The brother who took over sat down by the window and stared vigilantly at the women shopping for food passing by on the street, the running children, the clerks carrying lunch boxes to work, and the vendors pushing carts and carrying burdens.
.
These people are easy to identify, and the surveillance brothers can see them clearly at a glance.
The difficulty lies with pedestrians, especially those whose identities cannot be clearly seen. They pass by in a hurry with bags or bags under their arms. It is more difficult to identify who they are.
The person monitoring them should stare at them carefully, look for their obvious characteristics, and then write them down on a piece of paper.
When a person with this obvious characteristic walks past the window again, the surveillance brothers will have to use their brains!
Agents all over the world have a strict training, which is called identification! Identify whether the person walking in front of you has been there before! Furthermore, who is he? No matter how good the agent is, it is rare to achieve success in this aspect.
High score!
One of the biggest problems is that this kind of surveillance is extremely boring! If you sit at the window all day, you may not meet a person with obvious characteristics! Therefore, during the day, the brothers change shifts every two hours.
Brothers who are resting must close their eyes to let their extremely tired eyes rest!

Elsewhere, Ge Er and Qiang Hu were squatting in a corner outside the Drum Tower Market, just like two bored people.
The Gulou Vegetable Market is at the north end of Gulou Alley. The vegetable vendors who come here with their burdens put their baskets on the street, and people squat beside the baskets, looking at the pedestrians passing by on both sides, looking for buyers.
Most vegetable vendors do not have scales. They tie vegetables into bundles, and sell radishes, beans, etc. that cannot be bundled in piles.
There were many people in the market, and most of them were housewives carrying baskets. These people were not in Qiang Hu’s eyes. What he and Ge Er paid attention to were the vegetable buyers pushing carts or carrying baskets! Such people are very
few!
If the Japanese start their own business, there will definitely be a grocery buyer like this!
Whenever he saw such a person, Qiang Hu would make a gesture to the brother in the distance. The brother would follow the food buyer to see where he went. He might be buying food for a small restaurant, or for women and children.
Buying groceries in a unit like a clinic. The brother confirmed it, wrote down the person's characteristics on a piece of paper, and then came back and made a gesture to Qiang Hu, indicating that it was correct!
"Second brother." Qiang Hu looked into the distance and said casually.
"What?" Ge Er looked back at him.
"You're on the dock, business is good?"
Ge Er looked back at him and said nothing, but laughed so hard that he shook his whole body and said in a low voice: "Brother, Baodi! I won't replace him even if I give him an emperor! I won't hide it from your brother, one or two hundred yuan in a month."
Money never leaves the ground!"
Qiang Hu's mouth is watering! Needless to say, that bitch Yang Sanqiang will only make more than this every month, and never less than this! Damn it, he has simply fallen into the honey pot!
There are two things in Qiang Hu's mind that make him drool! One is that he is envious of that bitch Yang Sanqiang! The other is that ever since Jiang Yufeng moved into Shui Mo Lane, he has been able to see and touch her! There is simply no chance at all!
Every night before falling asleep, he couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought of Jiang Yufeng's white and tender body!
Qiao Yanfang is still in his heart, but only in his heart! In the past period of time, he went to Jiang Yufeng's single dormitory for a secret meeting from time to time. Oh my god, it was so good!
What will happen in the future, Qiao Yanfang or Jiang Yufeng, he has no idea!
At this time, he raised his head and glanced, then lowered his head and whispered: "Brother, lower your head!"
After all, Ge Er was a thief. He understood it as soon as he heard it, and he lowered his head and scribbled on the ground.
After a moment, Qiang Hu raised his head and took aim at the person who just walked past him.
The man was wearing an ordinary gray cloth Chinese-style shirt, but on his legs was a pair of very old Western-style trousers. He was carrying a huge basket, which was filled with vegetables, meat and eggs in large quantities.
He stared at the brother in the distance and made a gesture. After that, he wrote down the main features on a small piece of paper: suit pants, short cloth shirt, and extra large basket.
Ge Er also stared at the man's back and whispered: "What a man!"
Qiang Hu said: "Remember him! Wait for tomorrow!"
He was still thinking about the note he threw in this morning. Chen Zifeng quietly left with a few brothers early in the morning, not knowing what the outcome would be! He believed that there must be something fishy about that hardware store!
19-2
Tongyuanmen, on the north side of Heping Road, the Lixiang Hardware Store in Dujia Alley is unremarkable!
A little after eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng and Qiao Yanfang took a few brothers and walked for an hour before they found this place! It wasn't for Qiao Yanfang's sharp eyesight, but Chen Zifeng almost missed it! The sign on the store door is really inconspicuous!
A collection of commonly used tools are displayed in the small display window, such as hammers, shovels, screwdrivers, wires, nails, etc., which look very ordinary.
Looking through the window, I can't see anyone there. The door panel is standing next to the window, indicating that it is open.
Chen Zifeng walked over, looked back at the brothers behind him, and quickly made a few gestures.
Qiao Yanfang went to the other side of the street and observed the people passing by. Xiao Ancheng stopped in front of the hardware store window, seemingly looking at the products inside. Another brother quietly walked to the door, ready to rush in at any time!
Chen Zifeng walked back and entered the door without saying a word.
The hardware store is very small, with a short counter dividing the store into two parts, the inside and the outside. A middle-aged man in his late thirties was sitting at the counter eating breakfast. At this time, he stared at Chen Zifeng who came in, and then at
Xiao Ancheng outside the window.
He stood up slowly, as if to greet the guests.
Chen Zifeng grinned and pointed at the shelves behind him, as if he wanted to buy something.
