Agents of the Republic of China

"Without the support from the military and the government, intelligence work is like a flower in the mirror, like a moon in the water. Lin Xiaotang's success today is due to his contacts in the Japanese and puppets. It is undeniable that this person's ability and skills are the best. , but in Chongqing, he is always rootless."

Mao Renfeng said, "Take a step back, after the Sino-Japanese War, Lin Xiaotang will be exhausted. First, we want to regain the lost ground, Lin Xiaotang's forces are not worth mentioning in front of the army; second , he rose too fast, without a reliable support, he could only quickly adjust to zero in the end."

"But what we thought of, he might not have thought of it?" Dai Li asked.

"So we have to plan ahead. For his application this time, we can ignore it. He has no legal status. Even if he is prosperous now, it will be short-lived after all."

Mao Renfeng looked at Dai Li's expression, and immediately realized that this plan was not in line with his intentions, and then said: "Actually, there is another chance. At the end of the year, the special committee will hold a committee meeting. I remember that the chairman asked the military to unify all regions. All the people in charge of the bureau came to participate, so we might as well take advantage of this opportunity. He has no foundation in Chongqing, and he has to attend an occasion like this, and then everything will depend on the director's will."

As soon as Mao Renfeng finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head with a humble look.

Dai Li pondered for a long time, and then looked carefully at Mao Renfeng, "Qi Wu, I will do as you wish, but since you want Lin Xiaotang to come to Chongqing obediently at the end of the year, you might as well give him some sweets. You do it!"

……

On New Year's Day, Lin Xiaotang received a telegram from Shanghai Shang Zhensheng, the target of close surveillance all along—Wan Quan, move!

The day before New Year's Day, he came out of a small shop selling incense candles that had been hidden for a long time.This is the sixth place he has changed since he lost contact with Xiao Yang, the spear.It can be seen that Xiao Yang's disappearance has made him deeply worried about the current situation. For this reason, Wan Quan simply hibernates completely, constantly changing identities and hiding places, hoping to get rid of the subconscious track.Until now, Wan Quan could feel a little bit at ease, because during these two months, he didn't notice any tracking and surveillance.

All this is due to the tracking team sent by Nanjing Shang Huaishi.This stalking team was adjusted by Shang Huaishi. According to the characteristics of intelligence work, he specially trained tracking and anti-stalking skills. For this reason, Lin Xiaotang personally gave the team a special name-"Paparazzi!" Thanks to the ghost's memory.

The members of the paparazzi watched and followed Wanquan around the clock, and their disguise, penetration, stalking, and probing didn't arouse Wanquan's suspicion at all.At this moment, Wan Quan thought that there was no danger around him.So, he moved out.

Wan Quan walked out of the door, first went to the dog race to watch a dog race, it seemed to be of high quality, and even placed a bet, although he didn't win any money, but his goal has been achieved.Chaos in the medical dog park, watch yourself if you are being followed.

After that, he calmly started to circle in the street. He observed and tested very carefully for the whole day.

Knowing that he was absolutely safe, he walked into a telegraph office in the French Concession.

After sending a telegram, Wan Quan went back to his small shop to hibernate.

The contents of the telegram are unknown, as the French telegraph office refused to disclose the contents of the client's telegram.But Shang Zhensheng managed to bribe a staff member of the telegraph office, and found out the address and recipient of the telegram.

The address of the letter is in Beiping, and the recipient is a man named Gu Daming.

……

Guo Zhui handed Lin Xiaotang a stack of photos, and took out two of them, "The first one is the mailing address provided to us by Shanghai. Chunlai Tea House is located in Beiping Xisi Pailou. The store is not big. I inquired about it and opened it. The second one is about Gu Daming, the owner of Chunlai Teahouse. According to the information, this person is from the Northeast, 40 years old, alone, and has no relatives or reasons in Beiping. His previous experience cannot be found. arrive."

Guo Zhui added: "According to the records of the Beiping Telegraph Bureau, the postman delivered the telegram to the Chunlai Teahouse two hours after it arrived, and Gu Daming signed for it himself. We have been staring at the teahouse and Gu Daming for the past few days. However, Gu Daming did not act abnormally, as if he just received a telegram."

"Are there any suspicious people coming in and out of the teahouse?" Lin Xiaotang asked looking at Gu Daming's photo.

"There is no one who is particularly eye-catching." Guo Zhui paused, "It's just that Qin Han found someone he knew among them."

"Oh? Who is it?" Lin Xiaotang asked.

Guo Zhui sorted through a bunch of photos, found one and handed it to Lin Xiaotang, "This is the man, Qin Han said that you also know him, his name is Zhou Sijing!"

"Zhou Sijing, the traitor who betrayed Mr. Zhao Dengyu?" Lin Xiaotang raised his head all of a sudden.

"What about people?"

"Qin Han has sent people to watch him, if you think he is suspicious, we can strengthen the surveillance!"

Lin Xiaotang nodded, "Tell Qin Han that this person's life will be his sooner or later, but you must not touch him now, just follow along, don't startle the snake!"

"understand!"

……

Zhou Sijing got off the car near the flyover, and told the driver to wait there, while he strolled towards a church not far away.Not far behind him, Qin Han disguised himself as a peddler selling candied haws, closely watching his every move.

There was no one in the church, Zhou Sijing made the sign of the cross in front of the statue, and hurried into the confessional room in a corner of the church.

Zhou Sijing didn't look at the small room next door, but through the window covered with black gauze, she could vaguely see a figure sitting in the small room next door.

"Shanghai sent a telegram, urging the equipment and personnel to be put in place as soon as possible!" Zhou Sijing said in a low voice.

"Are they finally aware of being anxious?" The voice from the next door was clearly mocking.

"It is said that something happened that caused the delay for so long."

Sombra waved his hand impatiently, "What does that have to do with us? The most important thing is that they can't let us down. You can tell them that the empire will spare no effort to help them rule this country after it is done!"

"Then when will we ship the goods?" Zhou Sijing asked.

Heiying thought for a while, "In two months, the weather is getting colder and colder. Wait until spring, and you will be responsible for finding a way to transport the goods to Chongqing intact."

"This is no problem. I have already thought of a good way to safely deliver the goods to Chongqing through well-known domestic merchants and use their transportation channels."

"Very well, I hope you don't let us down!" The voice applauded.

……

One day later, the annual meeting of the Peking Chamber of Commerce was officially held. Originally, the chairman Leng Jiaji was supposed to host this event, but because he had just been attacked at home a few days ago, although his wife blocked a shot for him, Still not healed until now.

Therefore, this year's annual meeting was prepared and chaired by Zhou Sijing, the newly appointed Minister of Commerce of the North China Political Affairs Commission.

The venue of the meeting was determined to be the original Hunan Guild Hall. Zhou Sijing waited at the door with the officers of the chamber of commerce early in the morning to welcome all members of the chamber of commerce.

Bai Jingqi's old Baijia account also received the invitation letter. Originally, he didn't want to come, but when dealing with these traitors, he really couldn't trust the nephews at home, so he had no choice but to come here himself.

When the major merchants and wealthy businessmen in Beiping met, they did not dare to speak much except to say hello to each other, because there were Japanese military police on duty in the meeting place, all of them were fully armed, as if they were facing an enemy.

Zhou Sijing walked into the venue, and invited Bai Jingqi and other respected business seniors to sit beside her. Seeing everyone's uneasy expressions, she couldn't help smiling and said: "You don't have to do this, there is no other meaning, it's just that the Leng Jiaji meeting a few days ago The elder's family has just encountered misfortune, and the imperial army is just in case, so please don't panic!"

Speaking of Leng Jiaji, the expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became complicated.As we all know, Leng Jiaji is the chairman of the Peking Chamber of Commerce appointed by the Japanese. Although he was a traitor under the threat of a bayonet, he has actually done some good things for the business colleagues and saved some people during his tenure as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. .Therefore, the evaluation of him within the Chamber of Commerce is also considered acceptable.

Zhou Sijing smiled, stood up in a timely manner, and motioned everyone to be quiet, "Because of this, in order to avoid the daily affairs of the chamber of commerce being affected, an important topic of today's annual meeting is to elect a new president of the Beiping chamber of commerce to lead all colleagues , Contribute to the great cause of common prosperity in Greater East Asia!"

There was a sudden silence in the venue, and everyone looked at each other, showing a deep fear.

Zhou Sijing circled the meeting room back and forth, and said calmly: "Of course, the chairman of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce must be elected by everyone present. By the way, I am new here, and I am not qualified to recommend candidates. But due to the smooth development of the Chamber of Commerce For the sake of consideration, I still suggest that everyone elect a highly respected candidate. Therefore, I solemnly recommend Mr. Bai Jingqibai from Beiping Baicaotang to everyone. What do you think and what opinions you have, you must speak out openly. "

When everyone heard it, the pot exploded with a bang.Those who are full of Beijing don't know, and everyone doesn't know.This Bai Jingqi Bai Qiye sternly rejected the Japanese request to be the president of the chamber of commerce shortly after the Japanese army captured Beiping.

But this time, will he still refuse?

Bai Jingqi was also taken aback, and when he saw the complacent look in Zhou Sijing's eyes, he immediately knew that this was a long-planned trap.

Bai Jingqi is also hesitating. It is true that he is not afraid of any provocations, but now Beiping is in the hands of the Japanese, and behind him is the ancestral property with hundreds of years of history and the entire Bai family. His backbone and stubbornness turned into powder in an instant?

Zhou Sijing sneered, "Qi Ye, do you still need to consider this matter? Are you planning to refuse a second time?"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and several ferocious Japanese soldiers rushed over, and the bayonet exuding cold air was less than one meter away from Bai Jingqi.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the door, "It goes without saying, you must refuse!"
