But Li Moqiao couldn't rest. The worries in his heart were like a plectrum, plucking his nerves and making him unable to rest for a moment.
He closed the door to his room, opened his suitcase, took out the radio he had always brought with him, and started calling.
The response came quickly. After that, he began to record the message. To his surprise, the message was quite long!
Finally, he tapped the end code to indicate that he had received the message correctly. He put away the radio and began to translate the message.
The first sentence of the message is: "According to reliable information, Leng Yue from the Chongqing Military Command, Jin Xingjian from the Air Force, and others are leading people to track you. They may be very close to you. Please be careful..."
He understood the rest of the message halfway through translating it.
At this time, his face had turned blue, and he was as still as if carved in stone.
The pencil in his hand stopped, and his eyes stared motionlessly at the moon outside the window.
Exactly twenty minutes later, he continued to read the telegram. The last sentence of the telegram was: "The plane can be detonated after takeoff! Nozawa-kun, you will be shattered for the empire and will be immortal!"
Li Moqiao's hand was very steady, he lightly lit the match, lit the telegram manuscript, and watched it turn into ashes little by little.
Finally, he reopened the box, took out the wire tape that Leng Yue and others had been chasing all the way, and looked at it motionlessly!
Everything starts from here, and maybe everything will end here! At least, that's what he hopes now!

Shanghai, Inoue Mansion.
That night, after Takahashi sent the telegram to Nozawa, he sat in the library and said nothing.
Mr. Sato sat next to him, looking at him calmly and saying nothing.
Takahashi was silent for a long time, and finally said: "He is the best agent under my command! I have always had high hopes for him! In the end, I had to ask him to work for the empire! My heart aches, it's really unbearable!"
Mr. Sato said softly: "I hope he will fulfill his mission and complete your mission."
Captain Takahashi turned back and glared at Mr. Sato, his eyes gradually filled with anger, "What do you mean! Do you think he can't complete the mission! Ah! Is that what you mean!"
Mr. Sato stared at him calmly and still said softly: "I sincerely hope that he will fulfill his mission and complete the task. That's it!"
Captain Takahashi stood up and walked around the library. He slammed the table hard and shouted: "Chen Zifeng and those bastards are so heinous! They sabotaged my operations again and again, causing me to lose batch after batch.
The best agent! Mr. Sato, there’s nothing you can do against them! Ah! There’s nothing you can do!”
The corners of Mr. Sato's mouth twitched and his eyes became sharper and sharper, but he finally said: "Takahashi-kun, I am proud of having such an excellent opponent! Please remember that there is no undefeated general in the world!
No matter how good they are, they will sometimes fail! Please be patient and wait for such an opportunity!"
Captain Takahashi said viciously: "My hair is almost turning gray from waiting!"

Leng Yue pursued Li Moqiao, Nozawa, whom Takahashi deplored, but he went in the wrong direction.
After she and Jin Xingjian left Zhengzhou, they drove southeast.
When she arrived in Fuyang, she found the Fuyang Station of the Military Command, but received unexpected news. Huai'an had fallen long ago, and there could be no Nationalist Army troops there! Someone at the Fuyang Station told her another news, the director of the Huainan Administration Office and the commander of the Eighth Army Guerrilla Column.
Chen Taiyun's residence is in Nantong in northern Jiangsu, not in Huai'an, Anhui!
Only then did Leng Yue realize that the information given by Station Master Zhengzhou Yue was wrong! In this way, it was impossible for Zhang Bingzhou to go to Huai'an! No one knew where he had gone and which route he took at this time!
She urgently discussed with Jin Xingjian. They looked at the map again and again, and finally decided to go to Junan County in Shandong to try to find Shen Honglie's troops and look for traces of Zhang Bingzhou! If they couldn't find it in Shandong, they would go directly to Xinghua!
That night, they drove on the road, trying to make up for the lost time!
The road is difficult to walk, which is the most minor problem! The key is that the armies of the Kuomintang, the Communist Party and the Japanese are intertwined in this area. If they bump into the Japanese territory, they will really be in trouble!
Leng Yue had no choice but to ask several brothers to take turns driving and drive to Shandong day and night!
19-7
Leng Yue was extremely lucky that they met a regiment leader under Shen Honglie on the road south of Junan County.
After the two sides informed the names of their units, the regimental leader said: "You are a step late. Chief Zhang has already gone south and passed through my place two days ago. I estimate that they will have to go to Yancheng first and take a rest before going to Xing." change!"
Without saying a word, Leng Yue turned the car around and headed south, continuing to drive day and night to Yancheng!
Two days later in the morning, their team finally arrived in Yancheng!
Jin Xingjian was shrewd enough. When he entered the city, he got out of the car and asked the locals if there were any troops stationed in the area. The locals replied no.
He asked again: "Which is the best hotel here?"
The local pointed forward: "Here, that's the one, Yancheng Hotel, the best one."
Leng Yue also heard the two words he asked clearly, immediately waved her hand and led her brother towards the Yancheng Hotel!
19-8
In the Yancheng Hotel.
Li Moqiao got up very early. He was young after all. After two days of rest, his physical strength had been fully restored.
He entered Zhang Bingzhou's room. Chief Zhang had already gotten up. He could still see that Chief Zhang's physical strength had not fully recovered. His face looked tired, but he was still packing his things.
Li Moqiao asked softly: "Sir, are you going to have breakfast now, or on the way?" He actually hoped to leave early.
Zhang Bingzhou said simply: "It's better to eat on the road! I heard that Xinghua is not far from here."
Li Moqiao nodded and said, "That's true. We'll be there in a long time. Then we'll eat on the way."
He picked up Zhang Bingzhou's box and walked out the door first.
19-9
Li Moqiao left the room and the platoon leader was waiting for him in the corridor.
The platoon leader smiled and said: "Sir, I heard that the noodle shop at Xitou Street is quite good. Let's..."
Li Moqiao waved to him, "Call your people, let's go, and have breakfast on the way!"
As he spoke, he handed Zhang Bingzhou's suitcase to the platoon leader, then returned to his room and picked up his suitcase. He had always carried his suitcase by himself.
He heard the platoon leader shouting from behind: "Everyone, come out! Let's go! Have breakfast on the way!"
Li Moqiao came out with her suitcase and followed Zhang Bingzhou towards the stairs.
Behind him, the soldiers were greeting each other and walking out of their rooms. Their guns clanged against the door frame, and then there was the sound of tapping footsteps, following the two officers as they walked towards the stairs.
19-10
Li Moqiao accompanied the chief downstairs, walked into the lobby, and casually glanced outside!
It was this glance that instantly made him see Leng Yue walking towards the hotel! And the agents following her!
He grabbed Zhang Bingzhou, instantly pulled out his pistol, and fired a shot outside!
He turned back and shouted to the platoon leader: "Those people! Those people!" He didn't know what to call Leng Yue's people, he just shouted: "Shoot! Destroy them! Don't let them rush in!"
When the soldiers heard the gunfire, they were so frightened that they became confused. Under the scolding of the platoon leader, they finally raised their rifles and fired randomly! They didn't know who to hit!
Li Moqiao threw away the box, pushed Zhang Bingzhou and ran upstairs!
Zhang Bingzhou had no idea what was going on! But the sound of gunfire was deafening, and staying away from the sound of gunfire was his inevitable reaction!
19-11
Li Moqiao pushed Zhang Bingzhou back to their room!
Li Moqiao finally showed his true face at this time! He grabbed Zhang Bingzhou's arm with both hands and stared at him fiercely and sternly, as if he wanted to eat someone!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, you have to listen to every word I say!"
Zhang Bingzhou looked at him in shock. He never thought that his gentle and elegant adjutant would have such a face!
Li Moqiao grabbed his arm, shook it again, and said in a low voice: "Sir, please listen carefully, I am Japanese! My name is Nozawa Morihiro, an agent of the Japanese Army Intelligence Department! I have been ordered to lurk beside you!"
Zhang Bingzhou was so shocked that he was speechless!
Li Moqiao continued: "Sir, you must have imagined that it was me who stole the tape! The tape is in my hand! The people from outside are here to arrest me! In a few minutes, they will rush in! You want
Tell them, you just found out that I am a Japanese spy and wanted to arrest me! But I was injured! In the end, I jumped out of the window and ran away!"
At this time, Zhang Bingzhou's mind was already in chaos, and he could only nod reluctantly and look at him in horror.
Li Moqiao added: "Sir, when you are safe, call and report to Chongqing Chief Liu! Report what I said! Sir, did you hear clearly?"
Zhang Bingzhou was speechless and could only look at him in horror!
At this point, Li Moqiao had no other choice. He reached out and pulled out his small pistol from Zhang Bingzhou's waist, fired two shots at the door, and then put the pistol into Zhang Bingzhou's hand.
He pressed a little below Zhang Bingzhou's shoulder and said: "I will hit you here. This is considered a serious injury, but it won't kill you!"
As he spoke, he took two steps back and raised his pistol towards Zhang Bingzhou.
As soon as Zhang Bingzhou saw the black muzzle of the gun, he was so horrified that just as he opened his mouth, the gun went off! He fell backwards and fell to the ground. He couldn't remember what happened next!
He vaguely saw Li Moqiao jumping onto the window sill, breaking open the window and jumping out! This was the second floor!
19-12
Leng Yue and several of Zhang Xiao's brothers held up their pistols and fired continuously in the hotel. The shooting was earth-shattering!
Although the soldiers in the hotel guarded the windows and the terrain was favorable, they were panicked and some people fell to the ground after being shot!
Brothers Zhang Xiao and others have rushed up the steps, stood on both sides of the door, and shot inside!
