This is a cemetery, and few people come here during the day.
There is a line of words engraved on a marble tombstone: Tomb of Li Desheng.
Hua Kezhi lit three cigarettes, carefully inserted them into the incense burner, took out a bottle of liquor from his arms and placed them in front of the tombstone, then stood at attention and bowed respectfully three times.
"Lao Fang, I'm here to see you. This is the first time I've come to see you in a long time. I'm very sorry. I'm a rough man, uneducated, and short-tempered. I've been here for so many years. Fortunately, I have you to help me. I can't help you at work."
There was no serious situation. We brothers have been through life and death, we are both comrades and brothers. You sacrificed, I locked myself in the room and cried a lot. Alas, my nose felt sore as I talked. There were outsiders, so I didn’t say anything.
Yes. I came here today to tell you good news. The spy hidden inside has finally revealed himself!"
Hua Kezhi unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle, raised his neck and took a big sip. He poured the remaining wine in front of the tombstone and said: "Old rules, I did it, you can do whatever you want. No, no, I have business today, no.
If you dare to drink too much, you can do it as I please!"
Wang Guiyong hurried over and said, "He's here."
"Is he alone?" Hua Kezhi asked.
"We are following from Yingbai Office..."
"Don't talk nonsense when reporting the situation, talk about the key points!"
"He's the only one."
"Inform everyone to get to your places."
"yes."
Wang Guiyong retreated.
About two minutes later, Zhou Qingshan appeared at the end of Yong Road.
He also held a handful of white chrysanthemums in his hand.
When he came closer, he glanced at the name on the tombstone, gently placed the white chrysanthemum in front of the tombstone, and said: "The meeting point is in the cemetery, so I had to buy a bouquet of flowers. Otherwise, if I enter the cemetery empty-handed, what if I let
If the spies are targeting you, it will definitely arouse suspicion."
Hua Kezhi said: "You have always been very cautious in doing things."
"Surrounded by wolves, you are walking on thin ice. How can you do it if you are not careful... Who is Li Desheng? Just find a tombstone?" Zhou Qingshan asked casually.
"Li Desheng is Fang Yongyan." Hua Kezhi replied.
"So, Li Desheng is Comrade Fang's real name?"
"No. Fang Yongyan is his real name, and Li Desheng is a pseudonym."
Zhou Qingshan nodded: "I understand, the purpose of erecting tombstones under pseudonyms is to confuse the enemy."
Hua Kezhi took out a cigarette, lit one, took two strong puffs, and said: "When Lao Fang was alive, he told me more than once that there were Kuomintang spies hiding in the underground organization. In order to find the spies, he left Shanghai for a long time
For a while, it was a pity, alas..."
Zhou Qingshan looked solemn, bowed three times in front of the tombstone, and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Fang, please rest assured. We will definitely complete your unfinished ambitions for you! The Party will never forget the people with lofty ideals who shed their lives and blood for the revolution.
will not forget!"
Hua Kezhi looked at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Old Zhou, what is your real name?"
Zhou Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Zhou Qingshan is my real name. There are too many disadvantages in using a pseudonym. Once suspected, it cannot withstand investigation."
Hua Kezhi asked: "If Zhou Qingshan is his real name, then who is Zhou Honggang?"
"What Zhou Honggang?" Zhou Qingshan tried to calm down.
"Two years ago, you went to Ruijin to attend a party member workshop. On your way back, you were interrogated in Jinhua. Because your comrades who were traveling with you accidentally exposed their identities, everyone was taken back to the local police station. At that time, you had a top-secret document hidden in your body.
Document search and body search are indispensable links. What is strange is that you left the police station unscathed. Please tell me, why is this?"
"I bribed the police with money..."
"A few days ago, the Jinhua underground organization went through many twists and turns and finally found the policeman who arrested you. That man's surname is Wang. I wonder if you still remember him. He is no longer a policeman. He was secretly transferred to the security group and became a policeman.
A second lieutenant platoon leader. He was transferred from the police system to the army across departments. I have to admit that within the Kuomintang government, the Secret Service is indeed very powerful!"
"Comrade Kezhi, what on earth are you talking about?"
"Of course we transferred Second Lieutenant Wang because we didn't want anyone to find him. Of course, if you hadn't exposed the truth, we would never have investigated the matter. According to Second Lieutenant Wang's recollection, you wrote down a phone number and name at that time and asked the police to call you.
Verify identity over the phone. It’s been too long. Second Lieutenant Wang has a bad memory. He forgot his phone number long ago, but he can remember his name. What you wrote was Zhou Honggang! Oh, I forgot to mention that the Jinhua underground organization has spent money.
A large sum of money, otherwise Second Lieutenant Wang would not tell the truth."
Zhou Qingshan forced a smile and said: "The story is a bit outrageous. If this is really the case, why didn't I call it myself?"
Hua Kezhi sneered: "You think so too, but the police won't let you make phone calls. If documents are found on you and your Communist Party identity is exposed, you will lose your potential value. So, no matter what, you
You have to escape smoothly. That phone call should be to your superior, right?"
Zhou Qingshan nodded: "I understand, someone is framing the blame and trying to sow discord among Shanghai's underground organizations! Comrade Ke Zhi, you can't be fooled!"
Huakezhi was noncommittal and continued: "The phone number cannot be found, so we can only look up the name Zhou Honggang. Zhou Honggang, male, 36 years old, from Jiangshan, Zhejiang, disappeared mysteriously not long after joining the Secret Service. So, we came to the conclusion from this,
You are Zhou Honggang!"
Zhou Qingshan sighed: "I'm really, really sad! You would rather believe a Kuomintang official policeman than your own comrades! It's ridiculous, it's simply ridiculous! Comrade Ke Zhi, I want to know
, did you invite me here this time just to verify this matter?"
"That's right. Regarding Jiang Rumeng's situation, it's just a cover."
"Is it you personally checking me, or is it an organizational decision?"
"With so much manpower and material resources, how could it be possible for me to investigate you personally? I don't have that power."
"I will personally explain this matter to the superiors..."
"No need!"
Zhou Qingshan's face was uncertain, and he said slowly: "I have the right to appeal!"
Hua Kezhi took out a two-inch photo from his pocket. The photo showed a boy in his twenties, and his features looked like a young version of Zhou Qingshan.
"We have done a lot of work to prove that you are Zhou Honggang. This is a photo of Zhou Honggang found in the student files of Jiangshan Qiming Middle School."
Zhou Qingshan glanced at him and said immediately: "The world is so big and there are so many people who look alike, how can we be sure that this boy is me?"
Hua Kezhi sneered: "Zhou Honggang, you are really determined not to give up until you reach the Yellow River! With so many people testifying and physical evidence in front of you, you still dare to quibble! To tell you the truth, if you don't tell the truth, today will be your day of death!..."
