So, at 9:30 in the morning, she arrived at Kawakami's stronghold in Guangfu Lane.
Hengta opened the door for her and asked doubtfully: "Miss Akitsu, are you today..."
Akitsu said succinctly, "You, come with me to see that patient! Now!"
When she and Yokota entered the room, the guard in the outhouse jumped up and stood at attention towards her.
This sound alerted Lai Dunde and Liu Richen in the back room. At this time, Liu Richen was sitting on the bed, and Lai Dunde was sitting on the floor by the wall. They were all alert, the person coming in must be a senior officer.
When Qiu Jin appeared at the door, they were all a little surprised, why was it this woman again!
Qiujin stared at Liu Richen who was sitting on the bed. Hengtai moved a chair and placed it behind her. She sat down, crossed her right leg on her left knee, and folded her hands on her lap. She continued to observe the patient.
The first thing she saw was that although he looked calm and serene, he still showed fatigue after illness. But his eyes were very calm, without surprise, panic, or uneasiness. He was not panicked about his situation. This was even more important.
Make her confused.
"Sir, what's your surname?" she asked calmly.
"Excuse me, my surname is Liu." Liu Richen said quietly.
Yesterday, he did not want to be questioned by this woman. But today is different, he is in the intermittent period of malaria. He cannot dodge, dodge is useless, and he will degrade himself.
"Have you just arrived in Shanghai recently?" She heard the accent in his words and asked directly.
"Yes." He replied softly.
"When did you arrive?" This is a continuation of the previous sentence, and she hopes to go deeper step by step.
"It's been about five or six days. I may not remember it accurately."
"Where do you come from?" Akitsu asked in depth again.
"Coming from Peking." Liu Richen decided to tell the truth.
At this time, Qiu Jin's heart jumped unexpectedly, as if something had alerted her. But she couldn't think of the reason for a moment. She sat quietly, observing the patient motionlessly, and searched for alerts in her thoughts.
s reason.
Suddenly, it seemed as if there was a wind blowing into her heart, even a strong wind! The fog in front of her eyes was blown away at once! He came to Shanghai five or six days ago! He came from Peiping! These two things reminded her of Gao
A situation mentioned by Qiao.
A few days ago, in the teacher's room, Takahashi said that an important leader of the Chinese Communist Party has arrived in Shanghai. He hopes that the teacher will help him arrest this person! Takahashi said that this person is from Peking!
Is this person an important leader of the Chinese Communist Party? Impossible. How could such a coincidence happen?
Thinking of this, she continued to ask: "Mr. Liu, how did you know Mr. Gui?"
She hid a trap in this sentence! She wanted to see if this person would fall into the trap!
Liu Richen looked at her calmly, aware of the danger. It was difficult for him to answer Qiu Jin's words.
He knew nothing except that Gui Longhai was a police officer from the Nanshi Branch. This kind of situation could not withstand questioning. Besides, how did she know that I knew Gui Longhai?
Did she still know about Li Xiulan? And knew that Li Xiulan knew Gui Longhai? This situation made him even more suspicious.
He said softly: "I actually don't know Mr. Gui. I can't remember where I got sick. I didn't know until I woke up that Mr. Gui sent me to a friend's house. That's all I know."
Qiu Jin couldn't help but grit his teeth! If you are not relatives, why should Gui Longhai care about you?
Why didn't Gui Longhai send you to the hospital? He actually hid you in Li Xiulan's house!
If it weren't for your special status, how could he do such a thing!
This series of questions and conclusions quickly flashed through Akijin's mind. She was initially convinced that the person in front of her was at least in a special situation! Or even very special! He might be an important leader of the Chinese Communist Party!
At this time, her thoughts drifted to another thing. This thing had almost nothing to do with the thing in front of her, but it made her connect it. From this point, she noticed another point, even an unknown point,
This is her thing!
She has always had a question: How come China's intelligence agencies are so happy to agree to the exchange of captured personnel between the two sides?
She always felt that this matter should be settled after repeated arguments and bargaining between the two parties.
But China quickly agreed. Why?
Do they care that much about a small agent? Are there other situations?
Suddenly, Gui Longhai's small movement reminded her again.
Gui Longhai sealed the letter with paste in front of her. She always thought this was Gui Longhai's shrewdness.
But looking at it now, it’s not like that! This Gui Longhai specially stamped the envelope, which shows that he especially hopes that the malaria patient will go back as soon as possible! According to Mr. Liu, they don’t know each other at all! But Gui Longhai wants to protect him
!He is most likely protecting an important leader of the Chinese Communist Party!
Apart from that, what else can’t he do? What else does he want to do? Akitsu thinks about these carefully!
In addition, Gui Longhai once had a long secret conversation with Mr. Liu for two days in a row. What did they talk about!
At this time, she felt that the nerves in her brain were like taut strings, clanging, as if some major danger was about to happen!
Is there any danger in the exchange? Absolutely not! Two hundred Marines are enough to break through any trap!
What is that? Teacher! Is their target the teacher? In exchange, they cover up the raid on the teacher!
The more Qiujin thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high. She must not be careless!
She immediately got up and walked outside the door, waving to Yokota.
She said: "Hengtai, take two people to Wenfu Hotel immediately to protect the teacher's safety! Go now! Go quickly!"
The model looked at her in shock. Although she couldn't believe it, when she saw what she said so harshly, she turned around and ran out.
He called two brothers and ran out of the station in a hurry.
Qiu Jin returned to the room and stared sharply at the man named Liu.
She asked: "Who are you? Can you tell the truth?"
Liu Richen looked silently at this young, but very smart woman.
He couldn't say anything more now, and if he continued, he might become even more passive! He sat quietly, motionless.
Lydonde, who had been sitting on the floor beside the wall, looked back and forth at the two people. Both of them surprised him.
But he didn't understand what happened between these two people! It seemed that something extremely serious had happened!

This morning, time passed extremely slowly. Everyone felt that time had stopped and would never pass easily.
Chen Zifeng and Gui Longhai stood side by side on the street in front of the Nanshi Branch, looking motionless into the distance.
They all knew it was still early, but they just had to stand here and wait.
God knows where there is a pair of eyes hidden in a corner! Watch them!
For Chen Zifeng, in order for the raid on Wenfu Hotel to be successful, he must stand here and let others observe!
At this time, the sun was very strong and sweat was streaming down their faces.
There was almost no one on the street. Some people hid in windows and looked out. The policemen standing on the street were also sweating, anxiously looking at the sky, the ground, the distance, and Chen Zifeng and Gui Longhai.
Everyone is waiting.
20-3
In the small attic opposite Wenfu Hotel, Xiao Ancheng and Qiang Hu were also waiting impatiently.
They stacked two broken wooden boxes in front of the small window. Qiang Hu and a brother named Xiao Zhang set up rifles on the wooden boxes and looked outside motionless. According to the division of labor, Qiang Hu paid attention to the first room on the third floor opposite.
, Xiao Zhang paid attention to the guy selling cigarettes on the street downstairs.
The small window is not open, but the latch has been pulled out. As soon as there is any movement, they will open the window and shoot out!
Xiao Ancheng stood behind them, looking outside as well. He wanted to observe both the third floor and the downstairs. He tried to be calm and let time pass by slowly.
Below the small attic, Qiao Yanfang was sitting in the small teahouse downstairs, staring at the door of the Wenfu Hotel opposite.
She only had one time to act, the guy buying food was going out! But, it was already half past eleven, and the guy hadn't gone out yet.
She cursed in her mind: "Son of a bitch, do you want to starve to death!"

At this time, there is another person who is also waiting anxiously, he is Peng Shaoyong.
He set up two ambush locations on Zhaojia Road, one at the intersection of Henan Road and one at the intersection of Wangyun Road.
He and Luo Jiang studied the map carefully. Neither he nor Luo Jiang believed that the Japanese would turn directly from Nanshi Branch onto Henan Road after completing the exchange. They believed that they would continue walking east along Penglai Road and north on Wangyun Road.
Turn.
Therefore, he chose the main ambush location at the intersection of Wangyun Road and Zhaojia Road. He believed that the Japanese would pass through here after completing the exchange!
He opened a room in the Wangyun Hotel at the intersection. It faced Wangyun Road and he could see far away. He also knew that it was still early, but he was still impatient to wait.
20-5
At 11:40, there was some movement in Guangfu Nong.
Akitsu tried his best to be patient and looked at the malaria patient sitting on the bed.
But no matter what she asked, the man said nothing, which made her feel angry!
She had been thinking about what to do. Should she wait until Kawakami came back, or simply take him to the basement of Yali Bar. It might be better to interrogate him there.
At this time, an agent quietly came in and said in her ear: "Miss Akitsu, you'd better come here and take a look."
Qiu Jin glanced at him suspiciously, realizing that the situation might be serious. She got up and followed him out.
The man led her to the window of the wing and asked her to look out.
She looked at it and couldn't help but become confused. There were seven or eight people gathered in the alley in front of the house. They looked around, or whispered to each other, and occasionally glanced at the Shikumen house.
The agent beside her pointed in the distance. She saw some more people walking towards this side and talking in low voices to the people guarding the door. After a while, some more people ran over and joined this group.
There are more and more people gathering in front of the door.
