Hua Kezhi understood that asking him to provide Shi Jiwei's whereabouts when he was unable to determine whether Bayonet had rebelled was actually a testing process.
"Lao Fang, have you met Bayonet?"
"not yet."
"Then how do you contact me?"
"You shouldn't ask."
"You just said that bayonets are related to the anti-rape operation, and I was so anxious that I lost my head..."
"I communicated with him through secret letters."
"Has the bayonet replied?"
"Reply."
"How did he say?"
Fang Yongyan picked up a piece of crab shell yolk, put it into his mouth and ate it slowly. Under Hua Kezhi's eager gaze, he said: "The most delicious thing about this crab shell yolk is the layer of sesame seeds on the outside. Why don't you get one?"
Try it?..."
Hua Kezhi said anxiously: "Lao Fang, I have everything ready and I'm just waiting for your information. Why aren't you anxious or angry?"
"Do you know why I set the meeting place here?" Fang Yongyan remained unhurried and slowly lit a cigarette.
Hua Kezhi looked around, and saw that the storyteller was talking lively and happily, and the tea guests cheered from time to time, so he said: "It's time to find peace in the turmoil. For agents, the more occasions like this, the safer it is."
Fang Yongyan shook his head: "Similar places can be found everywhere, so why should I go all the way to Xue Huali Road?"
"What's the reason for that?" Hua Kezhi asked patiently.
Fang Yongyan said: "The house directly opposite the teahouse is the home of Liu Jianming, the head of the Anti-Smuggling Section of the Shanghai Police Department. The woman on the balcony is Liu Jianming's wife. At six o'clock on Saturday night, Liu Jianming entertained guests at home. By then Shi Ji
Both Wei and Chen Zuyi will participate."
"Is the information reliable?"
"I have verified the information provided by Bayonet and found no doubts."
Hua Kezhi immediately beamed with joy: "One spoonful of stew is best, otherwise we have to arrange two operations. Lao Fang, it turns out that you have already made up your mind and deliberately whet my appetite."
Fang Yongyan said seriously: "I don't mean to whet your appetite, I just want to take the opportunity to remind you that you should not bring impatience to work at any time."
"Am I showing impatience?"
"have."
"When?"
"Just now."
Hua Kezhi thought about it, couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Hey, can I not be anxious? Chen Zuyi has worked in Shengwei for many years, and no one knows how many people he knows. Get rid of him as soon as possible so that those people can
Comrades, work with peace of mind."
"What you said and what I said are two different things."
“…”
"As an agent, you must always remain calm no matter what happens. This is a sentence in the agent manual. You should remember it."
"of course I remember."
"That's why I said, we are talking about two different things."
"Lao Fang, your criticism is right. I accept the criticism and promise not to do it again."
Hua Kezhi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Looking at it now, it is really wise for our superiors to arrange for us to be partners. For so many years, our line has never had any mistakes."
"It is no longer what it used to be, and the situation is more severe than expected. The enemy has launched the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign against the Soviet area. Our party is facing a very difficult situation. The more times like this, the easier it is for traitors to appear." Blind optimism about Hua Kezhi
Fang Yongyan continued to pour cold water on his attitude.
"I think this is not a bad thing."
"Why do you say that?"
"Isn't it always said above that we need to self-examine and correct ourselves? We should take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate those who are not determined from the revolutionary ranks. Those who can persevere to the end must be true revolutionaries!"
Fang Yongyan thought for a moment and couldn't help but nodded slightly: "It makes sense..."
"By the way, Lao Fang, why did Shi Jiwei and Chen Zuyi attend Liu Jianming's banquet?"
"Shi Jiwei's public identity is that he is a supervisor of the Shanghai Police Department, and Liu Jianming is also from Lijinshe. They happen to be from the same hometown. Because of this, their personal relationship has always been very good."
"What about Chen Zuyi?"
"Chen Zuyi's pseudonym is Chen Peng, and he serves as the deputy section chief of the Anti-Smuggling Section of the police station. He rarely appears in public places, and he always leaves through the back door after work."
"Oh, no wonder I can't find him. It turns out he used a pseudonym..."
"Chen Zuyi rebelled because he was greedy for life and afraid of death. The same is true for using a pseudonym."
Hua Kezhi said: "These situations were all told to you by the bayonet, right?"
"Yes. Shi Jiwei trusted him very much. As an undercover agent, he was very successful with the bayonet." Fang Yongyan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Hua Kezhi pondered and said: "That means Bayonet must be innocent. If he defected to the enemy, how could he betray his immediate superior?"
Fang Yongyan sighed and said: "Yes, I think so too. It seems that I misunderstood the bayonet. After a while, I will find an opportunity to meet him..."
At this moment, the door of Liu Jianming's house opened, and a five or six-year-old boy ran out happily.
Mrs. Liu held her hand on the railing of the balcony, leaned down and looked down, her eyes full of concern, and said: "Ah Rong, slow down, be careful of the steps... Slow down, don't run so fast."
"I saw it, it's okay!" the little boy promised in a sweet voice.
A vendor carrying a bamboo basket passed by the door and shouted from time to time: "Sweet and delicious preserves, sweet and delicious preserves~"
The little boy came over and said, "I want to buy candied fruits, which cost 50 cents."
"My dear, there are many kinds of candied fruits, which one do you want to buy?" the vendor put down the bamboo basket and asked pleasantly.
"A dime for apples, a dime for jujubes, a dime for green plums, a dime for hawthorns, and a dime for pineapples, a total of fifty cents." The little boy was afraid that he had remembered wrongly, so he clapped his fingers.
Keep counting the same.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yongyan in the teahouse thought for a while, turned to Hua Kezhi and said: "When acting, try to avoid hurting innocent people, especially children."
"Is this kid Liu Jianming's son?" Hua Kezhi asked.
"right."
"As long as he stays at home and doesn't run around, he'll be fine. By the way, does Liu Jianming's house have a back door?"
"No."
"That's easy to handle. Our people only need to guard the main entrance."
"Don't be careless. The arresting room is not far ahead. I estimate that after hearing the gunfire, the patrol will arrive at the scene in ten minutes, so you must act quickly!"
"Don't worry, two shots only take a few seconds." Hua Kezhi was confident.
Fang Yongyan said: "How do you plan to use Qiao Zhendong?"
"Let him follow the others, and the third child and I will be responsible for making up for the leaks!"
"...that's fine."
Ten minutes later, the two of them left Lao Xia Teahouse one after another.
