A young man with a cigarette box slung around his neck ran out of the alley in a panic. Xu Siqi grabbed his arm and asked: "Where can I shoot?"
The young man said: "Over there at the Gospel Hall."
The Gospel Hall is a Christian church that stands at the end of the alley, not far from Nanhua Film Company. It only takes three to five minutes to walk there.
Compared with other churches in Shanghai, the size of the Gospel Hall can only be considered average. The church consists of a bell tower and an auditorium. The giant Roman clock on the bell tower faces the pidgin.
At this moment, the priest and several nuns were standing at the door, crossing themselves on their chests and muttering to themselves, while looking up towards the bell tower.
A man wearing a peaked cap and a gray cloth jacket appeared at the clock tower window. He looked down and suddenly jumped to the roof of the auditorium.
"Look, there's someone up there!" a nun exclaimed.
The two Annan patrol officers who had just arrived immediately raised their rifles and shouted: "Stop, don't move!"
The man ignored him and bent down and disappeared on the back slope of the roof of the auditorium. The policeman blew his whistle and chased him from below.
Even though the man had put on makeup, Xu Siqi could still recognize him at a glance. He was Hikobayashi Hikoro of Ito Trading Company.
Masahiro Ito and Hikobayashi Kobayashi's identities were exposed. There was no need to continue to use the trading company as a disguise. Ito Trading Company had already closed its doors long ago.
Some time ago, Xu Siqi took a look. The two-story building was rented to a Belgian and is now a foreign store specializing in imported goods.
The policeman went after Kobayashi Hikoro, and Xu Siqi took the opportunity to enter the bell tower, avoiding the eyes of the priest and nun. It was not a difficult task.
The light in the bell tower was dim, and a pair of shiny pointed leather shoes were exposed in the corner - Bai Jiuqing fell to the ground on his back. He was shot in the chest, and his blood had soaked through his suit.
Xu Siqi knelt down and inspected Bai Jiuqing's injuries. He couldn't help but sigh softly. Even if he was sent to the hospital immediately, it would be too late.
"Bai Jiuqing, why do the Japanese want to kill you?"
"Inspector Xu..."
"Don't worry, we are on the same page."
"Who are you?"
"My codename is Bing."
"Ahem, are you Bing?"
"Yes."
"How do you know, know my identity?"
"That radio at your home? I saw it at Lao Lei's place? Later, I found that the radio was missing? So I asked him? He said that it was given to other comrades."
"Cough cough, cough cough cough..."
After coughing for a while, Bai Jiuqing's energy seemed to be much better. He struggled to do it. Looking at Xu Siqi with bright eyes, he said: "However, the Shanghai underground organization issued a secret order. Intelligence agent Bing is probably a traitor and wants all comrades.
Be careful."
"I did not rebel." Xu Siqi said firmly.
After a slight pause, he then added: "I knew your identity when we were in Shen Jiang's apartment."
"You mean..."
"You are in a hurry to come to Pidgin, of course, not for filming. You are here to connect with comrades in the organization. If I am a traitor, why should I send you here? Normally, shouldn't I be spying on you?"
Bai Jiuqing was silent for a while and then said slowly: "I don't know whether I should believe what you say."
Xu Siqi thought for a moment and then said very quickly: "The night the corridor light broke, were there Japanese looking for someone near the apartment? I know now, the person they were looking for? In fact, it was you. Don't interrupt me? Listen.
I finished my words. At that time? You had just come back from outside. After a while, Zhang Liwei also came back, and he had concealed his whereabouts. Therefore, I inferred from this that you were almost caught by the Japanese, probably
Because of Zhang Liwei."
Bai Jiuqing was stunned. Xu Siqi's analysis and inference was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
There are only two possibilities for this situation. The first is that Xu Siqi is indeed one of his own. He has extraordinary logical ability. After confirming his identity, he guessed the result based on a series of clues.
Of course, there is another possibility. The reason Xu Siqi understands the ins and outs of the matter is because he is simply a traitor!
what to do?
Should you believe him?
"boom!"
Another gunshot was heard near the Gospel Hall.
The gunshot reminded Bai Jiuqing that he was very aware of his injuries. If he didn't tell the truth, the matter would become an eternal secret.
Just as Xu Siqi deduced, Bai Jiuqing used the excuse of filming to contact his boss. Unexpectedly, he was targeted by Kobayashi Hikoro and was forced to hide in the bell tower.
The intelligence was not sent out. As soon as the gunshots were fired here, the comrades in contact must have withdrawn.
"Lao Lei trusts you. I trust Lao Lei. He shouldn't see the wrong person..."
Bai Jiuqing coughed twice and continued: "After Lao Lei died, our line was exposed, and all comrades were forced to transfer. Considering that I am from northern Jiangsu, my superiors transferred me to work in Shanghai. You know, I
Why do you live in Shenjiang Apartment?"
Xu Siqi thought for a moment and said, "Is it to trace Zhang Liwei's identity?"
Bai Jiuqing said: "That's right. On the pretext of taking students to visit, Zhang Liwei went to Jiangwan Pier and the Wusongkou artillery position of the National Army many times, and even secretly took photos. Later, after verification from above, Zhang Liwei was not a comrade of our party. Then
The question came, who could he be? So, the organization decided to send me to find out Zhang Liwei’s true identity..."
Jiangwan Wharf was built for the National Government and is basically a military facility. Most of the cargo ships entering and leaving the port every day are military supplies.
Xu Siqi couldn't help but ask: "Even if Zhang Liwei is a spy, he is targeting the National Government..."
Bai Jiuqing sneered and said: "Our party is broad-minded. Even if it is still fighting with the national army to the death, it cannot allow outsiders to take advantage of it!"
Xu Siqi didn't dare to interrupt anymore. He was now eager to know who Zhang Liwei and his wife were, and that weird Chong Chong.
Bai Jiuqing breathed for a while and continued: "You are right. That night, I originally went to monitor Zhang Liwei. Unexpectedly, he had noticed it early and secretly arranged for Japanese spies. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough. Before they discovered me,
Returned to Shenjiang Apartment..."
Xu Siqi saw what happened next. Bai Jiuqing returned home first, and Zhang Liwei was also behind.
"So, Zhang Liwei is a traitor who works for the Japanese?"
"According to my investigation, he is Japanese!"
"Where's Xiaozhi?"
"Same. They pretended to be a couple and cooperated with each other, lurking in the concession for a long time, just to wait for opportunities to spy on the military situation. Few people would doubt the identity of the teacher. Besides, he always behaved very decently. Unlike me, my reputation has long been ruined.
"Bai Jiuqing said with a bitter smile.
Xu Siqi asked: "What happened to that child?"
Bai Jiuqing's eyes flashed: "You also see that there is something wrong with that child?"
"It doesn't feel like their children..."
"Your feeling is correct. I suspect that the child was bought just to hide his identity."
"Probably……"
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Bai Jiuqing suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of blood. He panted for a while and said, "You should leave quickly. If the patrolman sees you here, it will be very troublesome."
Xu Siqi knew that there was nothing he could do here. He was about to get up and leave when his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Bai Jiuqing.
"Xu Siqi, if you are really a traitor, you are only betraying the organization. I hope that in front of the country and the nation, and in the face of major right and wrong, you can report the situation truthfully - even if it is reported to the National Government! I, I thank you.
!”
"Don't worry, I will."
Xu Siqi walked a few steps and heard rapid breathing from behind. He turned around and saw that the whites of Bai Jiuqing's eyes rolled up and he was dead.
Xu Siqi was stunned for a moment, and with great reverence, he bowed deeply to Bai Jiuqing's body, and then jumped out through the back window.
The police will search the church soon, and there is a high probability that Bai Jiuqing will be found.
