The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 382
Although Li Xiuming thinks that he hides it very deeply, and usually rarely participates in other activities of the espionage organization, the possibility of being exposed is unlikely.

However, since she passed the news of Gao Jiu to the outside world last time, there was an attack on the car of Director Feng on the streets of Wuhan. , after all, there is a little more possibility of exposing yourself.

Li Xiuming had ghosts in her heart and was always very vigilant. She basically didn't go out recently.She was even more careful when she went out this time. She has lived in this area for a while, and usually pays attention to the surrounding environment. Now she is very familiar with the situation in this area.

Suddenly there were a few more strangers nearby today, which immediately aroused her vigilance, so she retreated.

The reason why Li Xiuming did this was because she thought that maybe she was suspicious, but in case she was really exposed, if necessary, she could take Li Kunpeng and Zhang Keming as hostages to save a way out for herself.

After Li Xiuming returned home, Li Kunpeng saw her back, and asked curiously: "Xiuming, didn't you go out to buy groceries? Why did you come back so soon?"

Li Xiuming said casually: "I ran into a neighbor outside the door just now. She said that the Japanese might come to bomb today, so it's best not to go out. I remembered that we still have some vegetables at home, and the wine is ready-made. It can also prepare a table of wine and food."

Having said that, she said to Zhang Keming apologetically, "Brother Keming, I neglected you, don't you mind?"

Zhang Keming's mind wasn't on the food and drink at all. He was thinking about talking more about Lin Yanni with Li Xiuming, and he said, "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. Don't be too busy, let's sit down and talk together."

Li Xiuming said: "Okay! Let's chat first, I will go to the kitchen to tidy up a little, and get some dishes, let's chat while eating."

Li Xiuming walked to the kitchen, put down the vegetable basket, and looked out from the back window of the kitchen. The view here was relatively narrow, so she couldn't see anything, so she went back to the living room and went upstairs.

Li Xiuming's usual habit is that she will change into slippers as soon as she enters the house.Today, she didn't do that, and went upstairs in high heels.

Li Kunpeng noticed this, he felt a little puzzled, and asked casually: "Xiu Ming, why did you go upstairs without changing your shoes? Is it possible that your pair of slippers are a bit old, go buy a new pair tomorrow."

Li Xiuming had something on his mind, so he didn't have the time to answer him, so he said "um", and continued to walk upstairs.After going upstairs, Li Xiuming looked out the back window, just in time to see a man in a black suit holding a gun in his hand, entering the alley behind them.Then, I saw a man dressed as a rickshaw driver holding a pistol and also entered the alley behind.

Li Xiuming knew that he was exposed, and that he was surrounded, so it was impossible to force his way out.Her only chance now is to hold Li Kunpeng and Zhang Keming as hostages and negotiate to find a way out.

Thinking of this, she immediately took out the pistol hidden under the bed board and ran downstairs.

Ever since Li Kunpeng met Li Xiuming, he had never seen her so flustered.Seeing her running down the stairs, he asked in amazement: "Xiu Ming, what happened to you today?" At this moment, he couldn't see the pistol held by Li Xiuming's right hand hidden behind his back.

When Li Xiuming was going down the stairs, she had already seen someone climbing over the wall in the yard from the window. She ran up to Zhang Keming decisively and pointed a pistol at his head.

Li Kunpeng and Zhang Keming were stunned all of a sudden, and Zhang Keming turned pale with fright.Li Kunpeng's brain was a little short-circuited, he was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say.

Li Xiuming didn't talk nonsense with them, and pulled Zhang Keming back upstairs, and at the same time forced Li Kunpeng to go upstairs with a gun.

Li Kunpeng couldn't believe what happened in front of him at all, he stayed where he was.Without hesitation, Li Xiuming fired a gun into the sky and said to Li Kunpeng, "Don't blame me for being rude if you don't come here again."

Li Xiuming gritted his teeth when he spoke, and his face was a bit ferocious, he was completely different from the gentle and well-behaved woman in the past.Li Kunpeng still couldn't react, he mechanically walked upstairs.

At this moment, with a "bang", the door was kicked open, and several men in plain clothes with short guns rushed in.

Li Xiuming hid behind Zhang Keming, pointed a pistol at Zhang Keming's head, and said to the military command agents: "Get out immediately, or I will kill him."

When the military special agents saw Li Xiuming taking hostages, they didn't know what to do for a while.They wanted to shoot Li Xiuming, but Li Xiuming was petite and hid behind Zhang Keming's tall figure, so they couldn't see him at all.

Li Xiuming and others stood on the stairs. The spies couldn't find a chance to get close to Li Xiuming. They stood there, pointed guns at Li Xiuming and others, and refused to retreat.

Wang Xilin walked in. Seeing this situation, he said to Li Xiuming: "Li Xiuming, you are surrounded. If you are willing to surrender, we can treat you leniently."

Li Xiuming had calmed down now, she smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Get out immediately, otherwise, I'll beat them to death immediately."

Seeing this kind of terrain, Wang Xilin found it difficult to take down Li Xiuming all at once. He pondered to see if there was any way to solve the problem in front of him.

Li Xiuming didn't wait for him to figure it out, and fired another shot into the sky, saying: "If you don't retreat, I will kill them immediately."

Li Kunpeng was in a daze, his eyes were a little straight.Zhang Keming already understood what was going on, he was shaking with fright, and begged, "Director Wang, you go out first."

Because of Zhang Keming's special status, Wang Xilin really didn't dare to take risks. After thinking about it, he thought that the terrain here was complicated and it would be difficult to attack by force.To avoid accidents, he waved his hand and retreated with his agents.

Li Xiuming escorted Zhang Keming and Li Kunpeng up to the second floor, closed the door, put a table against the door, and then let Zhang Keming and Li Kunpeng stand in front of the window, blocking the window with their bodies.She hid by the window, ready to negotiate with Wang Xilin and others.

In order to carry out this arrest mission, Wang Xilin mobilized a lot of manpower and arranged a group of capable special agents to carry out the arrest.Blockades were also set up on the periphery, and at this moment, a large number of special agents surrounded No. [-] Lane tightly.There are also some police officers on the periphery to maintain law and order, blocking those curious onlookers.

Among the spectators were people from the Ninth Theater Command. They saw that Zhang Keming had been kidnapped, so they reported to Commander Zhang, and someone notified Liu Meiyu.

Soon after, Deputy Commander Zhang and Liu Meiyu arrived at the scene.

Seeing her son being pointed at with a gun to his head, Liu Meiyu almost fainted. She cried, "Keming, my son." Then she cried to Deputy Commander Zhang with tears streaming down her face, "Hurry up!" Save Keming!"

Deputy Commander Zhang had such a son, and he was very worried about Zhang Keming's safety. He said, "Director Wang, you should quickly think of a way to ensure Keming's safety."

Wang Xilin said: "We will definitely do our best. It is precisely because Mr. Zhang is in the hands of the Japanese female spy that we have not launched an attack. Just now we asked to negotiate with the female spy, but she did not respond."

At this moment, Li Xiuming's voice came from upstairs: "Listen, people outside, now I want to negotiate with you."

It turned out that Li Xiuming was very smart and calm. She thought that there would be no results in negotiating with the military special agents. The reason why she kept silent was that she was waiting for Deputy Commander Zhang to come.She knew that Deputy Commander Zhang would definitely care about her son, so that she could make a condition.

Negotiation is also an art, and he is very experienced in military command. Deputy Commander Zhang also knew this, so he said to Wang Xilin: "You talk to that Japanese female spy, and if possible, try to meet her conditions and ensure the safety of the hostages. "

Wang Xilin said: "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best."

Speaking of this, Wang Xilin called the negotiating experts in the military command. Just as he was about to say something to Li Xiuming, Zhang Keming's mother Liu Meiyu couldn't help shouting.

Liu Meiyu knew Li Xiuming, and Li Kunpeng once took Li Xiuming to her house as a guest.She shouted: "Li Xiuming, Keming is your friend, don't hurt him! If you have any request, just ask, I will definitely agree to you."

Liu Meiyu's meddling exposed her weakness in this aspect in advance, so that the negotiator didn't know how to proceed with the negotiation, so he had no choice but to look at Wang Xilin and ask for his opinion.

Wang Xilin was also very awkward, and spread his hands at Deputy Commander Zhang, expressing that he was very embarrassed.

Deputy commander Zhang is also very depressed, he knows that his wife is here to add trouble.He understood her eagerness to love her son, he restrained his emotions as much as possible, and said to Liu Meiyu: "Meiyu, don't shout any more, I understand your feelings, so why am I not like this. But you can't hold back any longer , will only make things worse. You go back first, and I will tell you as soon as I have news. "

Liu Meiyu has already lost her position, in this situation, how can she leave?She cried and begged, "Save our son." At this point, she accused Wang Xilin and others, "What's going on with you? Why did my family Keming fall into the hands of Japanese female spies? "

As soon as she said this, Wang Xilin and other military spies were very upset.Wang Xilin was not as knowledgeable as Liu Meiyu, so he turned his head away without answering her question.

Deputy Commander Zhang has nothing to do with his wife. He knows that she has offended this group of military spies by messing around like this. Zhang Keming is even more dangerous.He had to emphasize his tone and said, "Meiyu, do you still want to save our family's Keming? If you do, shut up now!"

Liu Meiyu was terrified by her husband's reprimand, and she was also worried that Zhang Keming would be harmed because of herself, so she tried her best to control her impulse and kept silent.

Wang Xilin shouted in person: "Li Xiuming, if you have any request, just say it."

Li Xiuming's voice came from upstairs, and she said: "Let all your people evacuate, prepare a car for me, and take the three of us out of the city. When I get to a safe place, I will let them come back."

Wang Xilin asked: "This can be considered, but how can you guarantee the safety of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li?"

Li Xiuming said: "Kunpeng and I are lovers, so we will not hurt him. Zhang Keming is also my friend, and I have no reason to hurt him. I will definitely let them come back safely.

However, if you don't agree to my conditions, I can't guarantee their safety. "

Just as Wang Xilin was about to say something more, Liu Meiyu couldn't help but yelled again: "Yes, yes, Li Xiuming, my Keming is your friend, and you both came to visit my house together, you can't hurt my Keming, we Agree to your conditions, can you release my Keming first?"

As soon as Liu Meiyu's words came out, everyone stared at her immediately. She was so selfish that she only cared about her son, not Li Kunpeng's life or death.

Although Deputy Commander Zhang cared about his son, but in front of so many people, Liu Meiyu's actions made him feel very embarrassed. He said again: "Meiyu, don't meddle in this matter, leave it to Director Wang." They'll handle it."

Liu Meiyu said unconvinced: "They have dealt with it for so long, what have they done? You asked them to quickly agree to Li Xiuming's conditions and rescue our family, Keming."

There are negotiators in the military command, and Wang Xilin himself is very proficient in this area, but now, with Liu Meiyu messing around here, he can't use any clever tricks.

In fact, their military command has handled similar cases countless times, and some of them have experience in this area.It's just that today's situation is a bit special. Li Xiuming and the others occupy a very favorable position. This kind of second-floor building is in a single courtyard and cannot be approached from other roofs. Moreover, it is a single room and cannot be directly approached from this courtyard. , The door of the house was blocked from the inside, and the rear window was tightly blocked by curtains. There was no way for snipers to hit them, making it difficult for the military commander to take action.Coupled with the two special hostages Zhang Keming and Li Kunpeng, the military commander was a bit wary.

Wang Xilin was hesitating, and Deputy Commander Zhang said, "Director Wang, do you have any other options? If not, simply agree to Li Xiuming's conditions to prevent her from taking drastic actions."

Wang Xilin was very hesitant in his heart, this Li Xiuming and the others had put so much effort on her body, so they let her go like this, it was really not reconciled.What's more, they are under a lot of pressure. The Japanese spy organization is very rampant in Wuhan now. Just bombing the city of Wuhan for the Japanese Air Force to designate targets has caused extremely bad effects.

The Military Commission issued an order to the big boss of the military command to solve the case within a time limit. The big boss of the military command put this matter on Wang Xilin. After finally finding such a clue, he let Li Xiuming go. What should I do when I get down.

Wang Xilin is delaying time here, he has another consideration of his own, that is, he has already called Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu promised to come and help him solve this problem.

This is the east of the city. Gao Jiu lives in the west of the city. It takes at least 40 minutes to come here. Until now, Gao Jiu still hasn't been seen.

Wang Xilin was thinking about what to say in order to delay the time, Deputy Commander Zhang said: "Director Wang, since you have no other choice, then agree to her terms."

Wang Xilin had no choice. He didn't want to offend Deputy Commander Zhang, so he could only delay the details. He said, "Well, I will negotiate with Li Xiuming according to your request."

Wang Xilin shouted: "Li Xiuming, listen carefully. As long as you don't hurt Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li, everything is easy to discuss. Do you have any other requests? If you have any, please tell them together, and we will try our best to satisfy you." Your request. You have thought about it carefully, and try to finish your request at once, did you hear clearly?"

Wang Xilin deliberately talked so long-winded, just to delay the time as much as possible.

Li Xiuming said: "I don't have any other requirements. Remove your people immediately and prepare a car for me. There must be curtains in the car. That's all. You guys will do it right away. I'll give you 10 minutes. If you don't prepare well If so, I will kill Zhang Keming first." She knew that Zhang Keming was the most important thing, so she said this on purpose.

When Liu Meiyu heard this, she became impatient again. She cried, "Don't kill my son first, but kill Li Kunpeng first if you want to kill you."

Deputy Commander Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, he yelled: "Meiyu, shut up!"

Speaking of this, he said to the upstairs: "Li Xiuming, at this point, you are Japanese and you are the master. I can understand it. But Li Kunpeng respects and loves you very much, and my family Keming also treats you As friends, you don't need to hurt them, I agree to your conditions, but please allow some more time, I'll get someone to prepare for you right away."

When Wang Xilin wanted to say something else, Li Xiuming said directly, "What are you going to prepare for? I know you must have come here by car, so just use your car to see us off, and get your people out right now."

Deputy Commander Zhang said: "Okay, I promise you, I hope you will keep your word, and when you get to a safe place, let Keming and Kunpeng come back."

Li Xiuming said: "Deputy Commander Zhang, please rest assured, I mean what I say, and I will definitely bring them back safely."

In fact, it was impossible for Li Xiuming to put them back.She hasn't got the city defense map of Wuhan yet, and more than half of the city defense situation in Wuhan is in Li Kunpeng's mind.Zhang Keming is also in a key department, and he has a lot of information that the Japanese side needs in his mind.The Japanese have always been dishonest, and Li Xiuming didn't care so much. He promised Deputy Commander Zhang first, and said it after he was out of danger.

Wang Xilin was well aware of this, and he whispered to Deputy Commander Zhang, "You can't believe what the Japanese say. I can be sure that after Li Xiuming is out of danger, she will never let the two of them come back."

Deputy Commander Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "Then what should we do? You have nothing to do, you can't just watch the blood of the two of them splatter on the spot, right? Don't say anything else, first agree to Li Xiuming's conditions and guarantee the safety of Keming and the two of them. "

Wang Xilin said helplessly: "Okay." At this point, he was about to issue an order to let the military command agents who surrounded here withdraw.A little spy hurried over and whispered in his ear: "Virgin, Master Ninth is here!"
