Chapter 35 Finding the Traitor
After allocating people, Li Yunsheng took Zhang Tianlai to the selected place. This place was called Liuguo Hotel, which was well-known during the Republic of China. It was a joint venture between Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan and Russia. It was built, so it was named Liuguo Hotel. During the period of the Republic of China, no matter what great crimes you committed, as long as you hid in this hotel, the National Government would have nothing to do with you, and it was impossible to arrest you here.

In order not to attract attention, after completing the check-in procedures, Li Yunsheng took Zhang Tianlai into the room. After about half an hour, the two of them came to the lobby on the first floor and chose a corner not far from the gate to sit. Next, you can see the whole hall from here, facing the door, the location is very suitable. Since we don't know whether Zhang Jinrao lives here, or when he will appear, the two of them waited passively in the hall. During the waiting time, Li Yunsheng asked about Zhang Tianlai's situation in a low voice: "Where is Tianlai from, and who else is in the family."

Zhang Tianlai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the officer to ask about his own affairs again, but immediately said in a low voice: "Returning to the officer, I am from Henan, and besides my parents, there are seven younger siblings in my family."

Li Yunsheng nodded, it’s not good to be alone, as long as there are relatives at home, such people generally have scruples and will not betray easily, such people are very suitable to be agents, so he asked again: "Then how do you People in the family can be willing to join the army." Li Yunsheng's question is not aimless. During the Republic of China, what was emphasized was that good men should not be soldiers. As long as they can survive, ordinary people do not want their children to serve as soldiers, especially in the north. It's been fighting for years, and being a soldier means putting one foot in the coffin, so whether it's the national government or the northern warlords, they often do some Latin things.

Zhang Tianlai sighed and said: "The parents at home are reluctant, but there is no other way. I joined the army when I was 13 years old. I was still young at that time, but when I was a soldier, the whole of Henan was in a severe drought. , there are younger brothers and sisters in the family, and they had to work hard for the few dollars of military salary. My younger brothers and sisters can all survive, and I can only continue to serve as a soldier, so no matter what, the monthly military salary can make no one in the family starve to death."

Li Yunsheng said softly: "Then do you have any other plans, do you just keep being a soldier like this? The current situation is much better than before. Even if you don't become a soldier, you should be able to make ends meet."

Li Yunsheng wanted to recruit Zhang Tianlai, so he began to ask him about his plans. If he didn't want to continue to serve in the army, he would not force others to make things difficult for him.

Zhang Tianlai said with a wry smile: "What else can I do if I don't serve as a soldier? I have been serving as a soldier for more than ten years, and I have no skills at all. After leaving the army, I can't survive at all. Even if I want to go home and farm, it is impossible. There is no land at home. , unless you work as a long-term worker for others, but that is probably not much better than being a soldier. Besides, although the past two years have been good, who knows when there will be a war, and there will be a war at that time. If I was arrested as a strong man, I might as well stay in the old army and live a day. Even if my fate is bad and I die on the battlefield, the commander of the army may give me some compensation because I have been with me for many years." .

Perhaps Li Yunsheng's attitude has always been very gentle, so Zhang Tianlai didn't hide anything, and directly expressed his thoughts. This kind of muddled plan was also the idea of ​​many soldiers in the Republic of China. During the full-scale war of resistance, the thinking of soldiers will change a little.

After some communication, Li Yunsheng easily figured out Zhang Tianlai's plan, but he didn't say solicitation right away, but planned to wait until the task was completed, so he changed the subject: "You are in Zhang Jinrao's army. How long have you stayed here, do you know a little bit about him.”

Zhang Tianlai thought about it carefully, and then said hesitantly: "I have been in the army for a long time, but because I am illiterate, and because I mainly save my life when fighting, I have always been a small soldier, and I don't know much about the officer. Many, although I have been in Zhang Jinrao's army for a few years, but Zhang Jinrao was a general at that time, so I couldn't get in touch with him, but I seem to have heard from the company commander before that Zhang Jinrao He is very lecherous, and he seems not very courageous, so he doesn't remember the rest, after all, it has been a long time since he left Zhang Jinrao's army, and he can't remember many things clearly."

Afterwards, Li Yunsheng casually asked a few questions about Zhang Jinrao, seeing that Zhang Tianlai could not provide any useful information, he stopped asking more questions, and then waited patiently in the hall, whenever someone came in and out, Zhang Tianlai was there Watching carefully from the seat, the eyes are very straightforward, people can guess at a glance that they are looking for someone, and it also makes Li Yunsheng feel helpless beside him.

Considering that Zhang Tianlai is just an ordinary soldier after all, not a secret agent, and has not received any training, this performance is not surprising, and Li Yunsheng intends to take him for his own use, so he taught Zhang Tianlai some skills and told him How can he achieve his goals without attracting attention.

Zhang Tianlai learned very fast. After Li Yunsheng patiently taught some skills, when he continued to observe the people entering and leaving, he immediately stopped attracting attention. This made Li Yunsheng even more satisfied. He said that he was also very good at learning, which made Li Yunsheng determined to take him for his own use, so during this period of time, he taught Zhang Tianlai some other skills of being an agent, which made Zhang Tianlai feel a little different, but Zhang Tianlai is a spy after all. People who are eager to learn, Li Yunsheng teaches some useful skills, so there is no objection.

In this way, Li Yunsheng waited at the Liuguo Hotel for a whole day, and even ate lunch in the lobby, but he did not find Zhang Jinrao. At night, at eight o'clock, there was no one in the lobby, and he went in and out of the Liuguo Hotel There were also a lot fewer people. By ten o’clock, no one had been in or out for an hour, and it was too late at this time. In order not to attract the attention of the staff of the Liuguo Hotel, Li Yunsheng took Zhang Tianlai back to the hotel. Rest in the room.

On the second day, Li Yunsheng and Zhang Tian came to the hall early. Both of them changed their clothes and chose another seat. They continued to stare to see if Zhang Jinrao would appear, but they waited for a long time. One day, there was still no discovery, and there was no news from other groups, which made Li Yunsheng a little suspicious. Could it be that he was wrong, Zhang Jinrao did not live in the embassy area, and he was really so bold that he dared to live there. other places in Peking City.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Jinrao probably wouldn't be so courageous. After all, what Li Yunsheng learned was that Zhang Jinrao was very timid, and even Zhang Tianlai said that he was very timid. So what is the problem? Where did it come from? Li Yunsheng looked at the dark night outside the window, thinking carefully about what he hadn't thought of.

All of a sudden, Li Yunsheng felt that his idea was correct, but that he had mistaken the time. Since Zhang Jinrao sneaked into Beiping secretly, and he was timid, he would probably come out at night to avoid others It can also be safer. After thinking of this, Li Yunsheng planned to notify other groups immediately, but seeing that it was already past twelve o'clock, it was too late, so he decided to notify other people the next day .

The next morning, Li Yunsheng first told Zhang Tianlai to rest during the day and come out to watch at night. Then he went to the place where the left-behind personnel were staying and asked them to inform other team members that they also rested during the day and came out at night to see if Zhang Jinrao was there. After that, he returned to the Liuguo Hotel to rest.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Li Yunsheng got up, and together with Zhang Tianlai, came to the hall again, this time because it was night, so there was no one in the hall, Li Yunsheng and Zhang Tianlai pretended to have an appointment, and waited in the hall up.

After waiting for more than two hours, it was past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Zhang Tianlai seemed to lose a little patience, so he asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, it's so late now, and I haven't seen Zhang Jinrao yet. There is no news from other people, maybe your information is wrong, Zhang Jinrao has not come to Beiping, or has left in the past two days."

Li Yunsheng took a look at Zhang Tianlai and guessed that he lacked a little patience, so he taught in a low voice: "Remember, no matter what you do, you must have sufficient patience, no matter whether Zhang Jinrao has not come to Beiping or has already Let's go, we have to do our own thing, that is, we still need to observe here for two days. After all, we have no way of knowing Zhang Jinrao's movements, and according to my guess, the information will not be wrong. After all, this is from the headquarters. The news conveyed should be credible."

After hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Zhang Tianlai thought about it carefully, and felt that he seemed to lack some patience, so he said to Li Yunsheng: "I am a little anxious. Don't worry, Mr. Li. I will continue to watch patiently. I will never If you make any mistakes, if the officer is sleepy, you can rest for a while, and I can just keep an eye on it, and there will be no mistakes."

Hearing Zhang Tianlai's words, Li Yunsheng nodded and said with a smile: "After all, you are not a professional agent, and you have not received any training. It is normal to be a little anxious. Don't worry, I don't feel sleepy now. The two of you are watching here together. Now, we can chat together." Afterwards, the two chatted quietly while staring in the hall.
