Agents of the Republic of China

At Shanghai Kehua Hotel, Guo Zhui came to report in a hurry that Wang Tianmu had already left. He knocked out the person Lin Xiaotang arranged to take care of him, and left the hidden residence.

Lin Xiaotang was not surprised by Wang Tianmu's departure.Since that night, Wang Tianmu's spirit has been hit hard. He is saddened by Dai Li's ruthlessness, and also feels lingering fear over Nie Shangyun's death. In order to avoid Dai Li's pursuit, he can only choose to escape this way.

In the last conversation with Lin Xiaotang, Wang Tianmu more or less revealed this meaning. At the same time, he also understood the uncertainty of the Sino-Japanese war. He secretly hoped to leave a way for Lin Xiaotang. Of course, as In return, firstly, he will not reveal Lin Xiaotang's affairs, and secondly, no matter which faction Wang Tianmu is in, he will try his best to cooperate with Lin Xiaotang.

With these, Lin Xiaotang understood that his departure was inevitable, and Wang Tianmu had already chosen his next path. Although he was destined to bear infamy and live his whole life in idling, he currently had no other choice.

And Jason, after Nie Shangyun was killed, he also seemed to have lost his soul.After questioning, Lin Xiaotang learned that this time he was ordered by Dai Li to come to Shanghai to fight rape, and his target was Wang Tianmu, and he was controlled by Nie Shangyun who came to Shanghai after hearing the news, and Nie Shangyun arrested his beloved woman Thinking it was a threat, he ordered him to kill Ji Yunqing, and once again provoked the battle between No. 76 and Juntong. Then, Nie Shangyun felt the threat that Lin Xiaotang might replace Shanghai Station, so he ordered him to sneak into Nanjing. This is how the blue steel train happened. After the assassination incident on the Internet, Wang Tianmu was hunted down all the way afterwards.

Lin Xiaotang ordered Datou and Fatty Shen to cooperate with Huoyan to track down the whereabouts of the Jansen woman. After all, he had monitored every move of Yunlai Tea House and Nie Shangyun before, and the information sent by the stranger also recorded some of Nie Shangyun's whereabouts. Following these clues, I think we should be able to find Jason's woman.

Jason is naturally grateful.For his skill and courage, Lin Xiaotang admired him very much, and in his words, there was some intention to win over him, but Jason firmly refused. He is currently a major officer of the military anti-rape regiment, and he is directly under Dai Li's command. Both are dangerous tasks, but the future is guaranteed, and he doesn't want to stay in Shanghai yet.Faced with Jason's refusal, Lin Xiaotang didn't say anything, and asked Guo Zhui to arrange a place for him, and then just wait for the news.

After arranging some affairs, when the room gradually became deserted, Nie Shangyun's expression before his death appeared clearly in front of Lin Xiaotang again.Originally, some key clues could be obtained tonight, but because of the killer's shot, all hopes were wiped out, which made Lin Xiaotang very annoyed.

Who are the people behind Nie Shangyun?What secrets were they afraid of Nie Shangyun revealing?What kind of intersection did the eldest brother have with them before his death?Why did they try their best to cover up the real cause of his brother's death?These questions kept appearing in Lin Xiaotang's mind, which made him have a splitting headache.

The door opened, and Shangzhi walked in lightly, with Lin Xiaotang's favorite black coffee on the tray in his hand.

When leaving Nanjing, Shangzhi tried her best to beg Lin Xiaotang to take her back to Shanghai. The reason is that she has never left Nanjing since she grew up, and she has never seen the hustle and bustle of Shanghai.Previously, after Lin Xiaotang arranged for her to join the Telecommunications Department, Shangzhi immediately showed her unique talent in this area of ​​work.It only took her half an hour to memorize the codebook written by Shang Zhensheng fluently, and the fingering of the telegraph machine was perfected in less than two days. This surprised Lin Xiaotang and Shang Zhensheng especially. She loves Shangzhi, a clever little girl, and with a wave of her hand, she accepts Shangzhi, a closed disciple, and declares that she will teach her all the skills she has under the box. one time.

Shang Huaishi was naturally delighted from ear to ear.Ever since he came to Nanjing Station, Lin Xiaotang has attached great importance to him, not to mention entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, leaving Shanghai and entrusting the entire Nanjing Station to him. The veteran was also very moved, and he vowed to repay Lin Xiaotang for his kindness, and firmly guard this piece of land for him.Now, Shang Zhensheng, a talented military commander, actually wants to accept Shangzhi as his apprentice, and Shang Huaishi is even more comforting.

In Shanghai, Lin Xiaotang needed someone to take care of his daily necessities. Shang Huaishi suggested that Lin Xiaotang should bring Shang Zhi with him, so that he could study with Shang Zhensheng at any time, so Lin Xiaotang asked Shang Zhi and two staff from the telecommunications office Carrying a transceiver, under the escort of Qiang Yihu, he took another train to Shanghai.

Shangzhi gently put the coffee cup on the desk in front of Lin Xiaotang, Lin Xiaotang looked up, saw Shangzhi, smiled slightly, "Xiaozhi, you haven't rested yet?"

Shangzhi held the tray with both hands, "I see that the young master is still busy so late, so I made a cup of coffee, so you can refresh yourself!"

"In the future, I will leave these things to the servants of the hotel. This place is no better than Nanjing, and Ke Hua has nothing to keep secret." Lin Xiaotang picked up the cup and took a sip. The temperature is moderate and the thickness is just right.

"Since I came back, I've been busy these days. I'll ask them to take you out for a stroll. There are many lively places in Shanghai."

"I still don't want it anymore!" Hearing Lin Xiaotang's words, Shangzhi just showed a happy expression, but then shook his head, "When we first arrived in Shanghai and heard that the young master had an accident, we were frightened. These days, young master, you still have to pretend Staying in the hotel as if recuperating, if I go out shopping, people outside don’t know what they will think, so I don’t want it. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future!”

Lin Xiaotang couldn't help smiling, "You little girl, you're quite thoughtful."

Shangzhi pouted, "I'm not young anymore, I've passed my 16th birthday, and I'm already an adult."

Lin Xiaotang smiled and nodded, "That's right, you're an adult. In this way, your 16th birthday has passed. I'll give you a present when your 17th birthday is next year."

"Really?" Shangzhi really jumped up happily this time, and then, with a look of doubt, "Really? Master, don't lie to me!"

Lin Xiaotang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Little girl, what did I lie to you for?"

"The hook!"

Helpless, Lin Xiaotang had no choice but to stretch out his hand, and Shangzhi's slippery fingers hooked Lin Xiaotang's fingers, "Hang yourself on the hook, and you can't change it for 100 years!"

After reading it, Shang Zhi suddenly blushed, and quickly let go of Lin Xiaotang's fingers, and there was a sudden silence between the two.

"Xiaozhi".Lin Xiaotang spoke first.

"Huh?" Shangzhi looked up.

"Do you miss your family?"

Shangzhi's face darkened, "I think, I think every day, I miss my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, I can dream of them every night, it's the scene at home before, cooking together, Chatting together. It’s exactly the same as the real thing. Sometimes, I seem to feel that they are waiting for me at home, and I can see them when I open the door. There are also the footsteps of my brother and my sister-in-law. Before, every day I was The yard is waiting for them to come back, as long as there is a footstep, I will immediately hear it, because they will bring me delicious food after work every day... ".

Before he knew it, Shangzhi's eyes were filled with tears.

The corners of Lin Xiaotang's mouth trembled slightly, and two lines of tears had involuntarily slid down his cheeks.

Shangzhi lowered his head, and took out a faded sachet from the front of his clothes, "On the day of the accident, I didn't take out anything, I just wore this. My mother sewed it for me. The spices in it My sister-in-law chose it for me, and there is a small note written by my brother in it. It is this sachet that makes me feel that they have not left and are still by my side. Every night, I put the sachet Under the pillow, I think, if there is anything to say, they will definitely tell me through it!"

Lin Xiaotang was startled, as if a lightning flashed suddenly in his mind.

He stood up abruptly, startling Shangzhi.

Lin Xiaotang frantically unbuttoned his shirt, and took out the crescent-shaped jade plaque that he carried with him.For two full years, he has been wearing it all the time, tears have soaked the jade plate countless times, and the jade plate has been touched so smooth.But he never really looked at the jade plaque carefully.Shangzhi's words reminded him that if the eldest brother had any message to convey before he died, would it be on this jade tablet?

The light from the table lamp was not bright enough, Lin Xiaotang shouted: "Xiao Zhi, turn on all the lights in the room!"

Shangzhi was a little dazed, came to his senses, and hurriedly agreed, and turned on all the lights in the study one after another, and the room was as bright as day for a while.

Lin Xiaotang held up the jade tablet and looked at it carefully in front of the light. Shangzhi also came to see it.

Lin Xiaotang's eyes lit up, and there were actually two words engraved on the back of the jade card, but in his memory, there was no writing on this jade card.

"Is this Tian Zi? Or Jia Zi? Or You Zi?" Lin Xiaotang said to himself.

"There is one more word, what is this?" Lin Xiaotang frowned.

Shangzhi found a magnifying glass at some point, and handed it to Lin Xiaotang. Lin Xiaotang looked at it for a long time, and then loosened his brows, "It looks like a character for agriculture!"

Lin Xiaotang jumped up excitedly, picked up Shangzhi in front of him, turned around several times, then put Shangzhi down, turned and walked towards the door.

Lin Xiaotang opened the door, Guo Zhui was smoking in the corridor, "Guo Zhui, where is Mr. Suzhang, quickly find him!"

Guo Zhui was taken aback, "Boss, you forgot, just now Mr. Shang told you that he would go home to stay tonight, and you even arranged for a few brothers to escort him back!"

Lin Xiaotang slapped his head, "Look at my memory!"

Lin Xiaotang didn't notice that Shangzhi behind her was flushed, her hands were twisted together, and she didn't even dare to lift her head.
