cicada

Osmanthus Lane, hotel.

Mou Zhiye, who was disguised as a woman, stood by the window, lifted a corner of the curtain to look out, and found a group of black skins searching the residents in the alley. His heart suddenly rose, and he turned to ask the old lady.

"Mom, do you remember what I told you earlier?"

The old lady sat on the bed and packed her bags, and nodded silently. She has no choice but to follow her son, and she can't really kill her relatives righteously.

A play is a play after all, and in reality, it is very difficult for a mother to betray her own children, because after all, a tiger does not eat its children.

Ten minutes later, with the sound of footsteps approaching, the door of the room where the mother and son were located was slammed, and at the same time someone yelled in Shancheng dialect with an extremely bad attitude.

"Open the door, check!"

Hearing the scolding from outside, Mou Zhiye felt relieved. If he had been exposed or the other party was planning to arrest him, he would definitely not speak like this.

Thinking of this, he walked slowly to the door and opened it, and immediately saw two black-skinned men standing in the corridor with their shoulders crossed, and smelled a strong smell of alcohol, which was very pungent.

This scene made him more relaxed, drinking in broad daylight and during missions, something only a real mountain city police officer can do.

One of the police officers looked sleepily at Mou Zhiye, staggered and hiccupped, then stretched out his right hand and said vaguely.

"Certificate, you come from a place where you are going to go."

"Yes, documents."

Another police officer also interjected, and raised his eyebrows at Mou Zhiye while speaking, his eyes were very dishonest, and he seemed to like Director Mou in women's clothes very much.

Mou Zhiye suppressed his nausea and anger, but still took out two documents from the Kun bag, handed them to the first policeman, and answered in Rongcheng dialect while squeezing his throat.

"Sir, the one inside is my mother, who can't speak. We came to the mountain city from Rongcheng to look for relatives, but we couldn't find anyone. We are going to leave today."

The old lady in the room made a babbling sound and acted very naturally. The police officer outside the door did not have any doubts, and took the documents casually.

From ancient times to the present, any certificate has an anti-counterfeit mark that only insiders know, maybe a word, maybe a small pattern, and it is difficult for outsiders to forge perfectly.

But this is not a problem for Mou Zhiye. The certificate he used is more authentic than the real one. Even if the other party calls Rongcheng to verify, the result is also real.

The first policeman put the certificate in front of his eyes, read it carefully, and found that all the secret marks were in line, and was about to question him a few more times, when the second policeman next to him grabbed the certificate and threw it back, saying carelessly.

"What are you asking? Shangfeng is looking for men. Do you see any men in this room? Hurry up and go to Xiao Taohong's for a drink~"

Speaking of Xiao Taohong, this person's face flushed for a while, and he dragged the first policeman to the next door in a hurry, as if he couldn't wait for a minute.

"I'll take another look. This is an errand for the Central Committee. If something goes wrong, you and I won't be able to protect our heads."

The first police officer was quite responsible. After speaking, he shook off the other party's hand, went into the room and checked under the bed and the cabinet. After finding no problem, he went out and rang the other room.

Finding that they couldn't leave for the time being, the second police officer cursed the damn Zhongtong in a low voice, making them unable to even drink well, and wasting time in this ghostly place called Jiangbei.

"Okay, those spies are coming to spot check tonight. If we miss someone, it will be troublesome." The conscientious police officer looked a little helpless.

Listening to the police officers' conversation, Mou Zhiye closed the door, turned around and frowned. Shancheng couldn't stay any longer and had to leave immediately.

Although he was confident in his disguise and documents, his mother was an ordinary person, and if she was inspected by professional intelligence personnel, she might show her flaws.

Moreover, the incident happened more than 24 hours ago. Now the Central Committee should have obtained the mother's photo. If the next wave of inspectors have the photo in their hands, it would be bad.

Mou Zhiye thought for a moment, and heard the policeman's voice getting farther and farther through the door, walked quickly to his mother, took out scissors and some small tools, and began to help the old lady with facial camouflage.

It is not difficult to change a person's appearance. As long as you adjust the shape, length of eyebrows, and hairstyle, you can quickly become another person, at least not immediately recognized.

After half an hour, Mou Zhiye straightened up, looked around at the old lady, took out a stack of documents from under the cabinet, and looked through them one by one.

After searching for a long time, he finally found a certificate with a photo similar to his mother's disguised appearance, put the other certificates back, and continued to stand by the window and look out.

Pedestrians and vehicles passed by in a hurry, and the hands of the alarm clock in the room kept turning. Time passed by and the sky slowly turned dark.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon.

A semi-new Chevrolet sedan slowly drove through Osmanthus Alley, stopped at the end of the alley, flashed its lights, and kept the engine running, as if waiting for someone.

Mou Zhiye's eyes lit up in the hotel, and the car that picked them up finally came, but he didn't go out immediately, but carefully observed the surroundings to make sure it was safe.

It was not until he was sure that there were no suspicious persons nearby that Mou Zhiye supported his mother, greeted the manager at the front desk, and left the hotel with his luggage and walked to the car.

When he came to the car, he first stood outside the cab and had a conversation with the driver, then took the old lady to sit in the back row, and the car quickly started to drive out of the city.

In the temporary command point, Dai Chunfeng listened to the real-time report of the little spy, but he was still a little worried. He was silent for a long time and turned his head to ask Zuo Zhong.

"Shen Mo, are you sure that the target is going from Wan County to the occupied area? This is very important, and there must be no mistakes."

"Teacher, don't worry, you will never be wrong."

Zuo Zhong answered in the affirmative, and repeated his own reason for judging that Mou Zhiye escaped from Wanxian. Wu Chunyang, Gu Qi, Gui Youguang and others at the side all agreed.

At this time, the heads of the Military Unity Division, the Second Division, and the special operations team gathered together. If the Japanese dropped a bomb into this room, the national intelligence system would be paralyzed immediately.

Not only that, Zhu Liuxian and Xing Hanliang were also in the room, and everyone was waiting for Mou Zhiye's action before they could proceed to the next step.

After thinking seriously, Dai Chunfeng nodded, and suddenly smiled. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two sober and shivering police officers in the corner, and made a joke.

"At the end of the day, it's a good way to let the uninformed police officers determine the situation. The target will definitely not think that this is our person."

Zuo Zhong nodded slightly. Mou Zhiye had worked in the Central Committee, and if he sent an agent there, it would be easy for the other party to detect the same kind of smell.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lao Dai raised his hand to look at his watch, and said, "Okay, then follow the schedule and set off to Wanxian by boat!"

"Yes!"

Everyone in the military command stood up and answered the order, and then left the headquarters separately. Zhu Liuxian and Xing Hanliang silently followed behind everyone and went to Jiang to take a steamer.

According to Zuo Zhong's plan, since he knew the final destination, there was no need to follow Mou Zhiye all the way, and just wait on the only way from Wan County to the occupied areas.

Unlike in the city, tracking on a wild road or in the dark carries a high risk of exposure, especially if the target is a former professional agent.

Mou Zhiye would never have imagined that the military commander would predict his trajectory in advance and wait for him ahead, so that Xing Hanliang's appearance would appear more real, provided that Zuo Zhong's guess was correct.

Three in the morning.

A small steamer with its searchlight turned on was driving on Changjiang. Zuo Zhong walked out of the cockpit, walked slowly to the bow of the ship, and stood beside Xing Hanliang.

Looking at the pitch-black Jiangmian and the mountains on both sides, Zuo Chong handed out a cigarette, lit another one, put it in his mouth, and asked in a low voice.

"Well, are you a little nervous?"

"Fortunately, your first mission behind enemy lines, have you ever been afraid?"

Xing Hanliang took the cigarette without smoking, and asked back with his hands on the fence. He was indeed a little curious about the experience of this old classmate after entering the military command.

Zuo Chong smiled, shook his head lightly and didn't answer, the less he knows about some things, the safer he is, so he took a deep puff of his cigarette and said lightly.

"Han Liang, remember what I said, you must be curious in this business, but you can't have too much curiosity, too much curiosity will put you in danger.

You need to grasp the proportions yourself, and others cannot teach them. Once you fail to grasp them, it will not only be easy to be exposed, but also affect the tasks you perform. "

"I see."

Xing Hanliang replied solemnly, instead of asking about Zuo Zhong's past missions, he asked about his views on intelligence work.

"Many people say that you, no, now we are living in darkness, like mice in a burrow, unable to see the light.

You can't do anything serious other than sneaking around and listening to people's corners all day long. What do you think? "

Zuo Zhong pondered for a while, did not directly answer his question, pointed to the dark night where he could not see his fingers, and expressed his inner feelings in a low tone.

"It doesn't matter what other people think, but we must know that you and I turn our backs on the light and stay away from the light in order to face the darkness directly, and even more so to block the darkness!

Even if it is stealthy work, someone must do it. As for the merits and demerits, let the future generations judge. We just want to be clear in our hearts. "

no shame
Xing Hanliang silently recited these four words in a daze, as if he understood, but also didn't seem to understand, standing on the bow of the boat facing the cold wind, he was full of thoughts.

"Okay, let's go back. There is still an hour to dock. I want to talk to you about the details of the actions after seeing Mou Zhiye. The process is very dangerous and there must be no mistakes. Then you have to..."

Finding that the other party's mood was not quite right, Zuo Zhong put his hands on Xing Hanliang's shoulders and pulled him towards the cabin. The backs of the two were elongated by the moonlight.
