Mahjong

Chapter 88

Chen Shen said that he was going to leave now, and sat down opposite Bi Zhongliang.Bi Zhongliang looked him up and down and asked if he was okay.Chen Shen shook his head, nodded again, then twirled his fingers twice, and asked with a playful smile, "Borrow some money?"

Bi Zhongliang raised his eyebrows and said with a smirk: "It's half a month before the salary is paid, right? You've made progress. The last time I came to borrow money ten days after the salary was paid, this time it took me a few more days."

Chen Shen smiled, "That's because you taught me well, I have to listen a little bit, and next time I will try to endure 20 days."

Bi Zhongliang took out a stack of banknotes from the drawer and threw them to Chen Shen. Chen Shen didn't order any, and stuffed them directly into his pocket.He lifted his foot and turned around, but suddenly he didn't know what to think, he stopped, turned to Bi Zhongliang and said, "Hey, I'm curious, how did you persuade Zeng Shu to surrender?"

Bi Zhongliang smiled, leaned comfortably on the large leather chair and said, "I asked him if he still remembered Zhang Zizhong, the anti-Japanese general."

Chen Shen was puzzled, "Has Zhang Zizhong been dead for more than half a year?"

Bi Zhongliang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yeah, it's been more than a year. When he died, the funeral was very grand, and the national government even issued a "Rong Zi No. [-]" certificate of honor and mourning, and Chiang Kai-shek personally wrote it Xun Lie Chang Zhao', Mao Zedong also gave the inscription 'serve the country with allegiance'. But so what? Who still remembers him now? Death is like a lamp going out, and life is real.

Chen Shen stared at the stack of banknotes in his hand, and flicked them lightly with the other hand, "Yeah, it's true to be alive, what's the point of carrying them to death?"

No one knows what it means to carry it to death.The so-called belief and the so-called persistence have made too many people exhausted.Some people rebelled, some people surrendered, and some people lived in dying struggles. At the end of their lives, they were too tired to want to live, but they still persisted.Chen Shen didn't know what his stubborn faith represented at this moment. He only knew that so many people had died, and even if he couldn't die last, he couldn't die first.

The gate of the Shanghai District Headquarters of the Military Command still looks heavily guarded, and there is no sign of being searched.The iron gate was still closed, and there were still a few sparrows parked in the window of the villa. Everything seemed so quiet, and there was not even a trace of bloody smell.

Chen Shen and Tang Shanhai came here, and soon someone opened the iron gate.It was the military command agent Ada pretending to be who greeted them.It has to be said that Bi Zhongliang's thoughts were really meticulous. In a sudden and fast battle on a rainy night, so many troops were dispatched, and the battlefield was quickly cleaned up.People from the Operation Department sneaked in quietly. Before they got any news, no one would know that the people inside the military command had already been replaced by Wang's puppet agents.

Chen Shen looked around, and then learned from Ada that a food delivery man came in the morning, saying that he would deliver food to the courtyard every three days.Now they are locked in the house, and Ah Qing is interrogating inside.Chen Shen exchanged eyes with Tang Shanhai tacitly, and walked inward.Tang Shanhai has been checking the flowers in the window and the spider plants on the balcony since he entered the Juntong villa. He must find a way to inform the current situation, at least not to let Tao Dachun fall into the trap.

In another room, Ah Qing was interrogating a vegetable vendor tied to a stool.The vegetable vendor's shirt had been stripped off, and his naked upper body was covered with whips, obviously he had been tortured.Ah Qing went up and slapped the vegetable vendor on the face, and asked sharply, "Are you talking? The food delivery? Do you know what the people in this room do?"

The vegetable vendor was already bruised and swollen, crying, "Please forgive me, I am such a vegetable grower. I will pick some fresh vegetables and send them to the owner of the house the next day."I only care about earning my living, but I really don’t know what customers do! "

Chen Shen opened the door and walked in, glanced at the vegetable vendor, and said to A Qing: "There is no need to interrogate him. Look at the mud on the soles of his shoes, and the vegetable leaves are still stained... The skin on his shoulders is thick, it is a perennial pick. It's a pick. He is indeed a farmer, and he can't be wrong if he is fake."

A Qing looked at Chen Shen and asked in surprise: "Then it's just let go? They only saw this one after watching it all morning."

Chen Shen hated that iron could not be made into steel, and slapped him on the back of the head, "What are you putting? Before the real rabbit hits it, close it first."

The Shanghai headquarters has not gained much for the time being, but the operation department has not stopped.Whether Xu Bicheng wanted it or not, he could only carry a pile of registration forms for Wang's pseudo-agents, and followed Su Sansheng to the interrogation room.A group of captives from the Hurricane Squad were all brought in front of them on chains. Xu Bicheng glanced at these people in panic, but he didn't find any familiar ones, so he calmed down a little.

Two Wang pseudo-agents brought in a blackboard and stood on the side of the interrogation room.Su Sansheng smiled at Xu Bicheng, and raised his hand to signal, "Madam Tang, I'm sorry." What Xu Bicheng hated the most was seeing Su Sansheng's indifferent face, but she still smiled and nodded in response: "It's work, it should be." Then he pasted the agent registration form on the blackboard.Each registration form has the name of Wang's puppet agent and a one-inch black and white photo, including Chen Shen, Tang Shanhai, Xu Bicheng, Liu Meina and others.

The Hurricane captives were led up to the blackboard one by one, and their pictures were identified.One prisoner shook his head after seeing all the photos, and was taken to the other side, and another prisoner was brought up again.Su Sansheng's hawk-like eyes kept staring at the expressions of the prisoners of the Hurricane Team, trying to discover something from their expressions.

Xu Bicheng didn't dare to show his air, so he could only stand aside pretending to be calm.Xu Bicheng wondered if anyone here had seen Tang Shanhai, and if so, would they confess.Zeng Shu's rebellion only took one night, how long will it take these people?She didn't know what else to trust.Although these people used to be colleagues of her and Tang Shanhai, they didn't know when they would become enemies.Xu Bicheng felt that her entire back was covered with horrible bugs, feeling numb and stiff.She was very worried about Tang Shanhai, as she told him that day, if he collapsed, then she would not know what to do.

At this time, Tang Shanhai was observing a flowerpot on the window sill of a room on the second floor.He found that there was also a shallow flowerpot mark on the window sill not far from the flowerpot.He thought for a while, and was about to move the flower pot to the position where the flower pot was printed, when he suddenly heard Chen Shen's scolding sound from behind.

Tang Shanhai was startled, and when he turned around, he saw a pseudo-agent Wang who had no time to dodge, and was being held by Chen Shenhe at the door.It was also Chen Shen's appearance that reminded him that there was a pair of eyes behind him.

Wang's pseudo-agent was a little flustered.He looked at Chen Shen and Tang Shanhai respectively, and asked somewhat stammeringly, "Oh, Captain Chen...do you want some tea with Captain Tang?"

Chen Shen looked him up and down, and said very calmly: "Okay, how about a pot of Tieguanyin, Captain Tang?"

Tang Shanhai nodded.Chen Shen waited for Wang's puppet agent to go out, then closed the door, went to Tang Shanhai and frowned, saying, "I know what you want to do, but any behavior that may expose yourself is not a good way."

Tang Shanhai also knew that he was impatient, but he couldn't do nothing.Tang Shanhai's expression was oppressed and painful, he had no choice but to sit still, this would make him feel very incompetent.Chen Shen understood Tang Shanhai's feelings very well, just like he was eager to rescue Shen Qiuxia at that time.Chen Shen opened the cigarette case, took a cigarette and handed it to Tang Shanhai, "If you don't mind, how about Dongyang Cigarettes?"

Tang Shanhai took a deep breath, and the smoke he exhaled was like a heavy burden that had been pent up in his heart.Chen Shen looked at Tang Shanhai, raised his hand and patted his shoulder and said, "Of course we are not doing nothing."

Tang Shanhai looked at Chen Shen with questioning eyes.Chen Shen just smiled and didn't speak.After one cigarette was finished, Chen Shen walked out of the yard unsteadily.

On the side of the street of the headquarters of the Military Command in Shanghai, the hawking continued, peddlers carrying shoulder poles, pedestrians who were numb and in a hurry, passed by a few rickshaws rushing to do the work from time to time.Tao Dachun was wearing a hat with the brim pressed down very low.He leaned against a tree, lit a cigarette for himself, and looked at the villa building of the Shanghai headquarters of the military command, which seemed to be peaceful.

Tao Dachun was a little lost in thought, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.At this moment, a man carrying a load of wontons passed by, knocking on a wooden clapper and selling: "Sell wontons, sell small wontons, small wontons with thin skin and filling." Tao Dachun thought for a while, and suddenly called out: "Sellers of wontons."

At the same time, the portrait of Tao Dachun painted by Zeng Shu was also sent to the villa of the Shanghai District Headquarters of the Military Command by the Action Department.Tang Shanhai took a look and saw that the person in the portrait was very similar to Tao Dachun, his heart sank, but his expression did not change.

Liu Erbao didn't see Chen Shen, and asked, "Where's Captain Chen?"

Tang Shanhai replied casually, and was about to continue looking at Tao Dachun's portrait, when Ada stopped him suddenly.Both Liu Erbao and Tang Shanhai's expressions changed, and they ran out quickly.He saw that the wonton vendor had been caught by Ada. He didn't know what happened, so he could only explain to Ada repeatedly that a Mr. Zeng asked him to bring ten bowls of wontons, and he paid for them.

Liu Erbao strode forward and asked vigilantly, "Where is the person who asked you to deliver wontons?"

The wonton peddler pointed tremblingly at the iron gate, "It's just... at the intersection ahead."

As soon as the man finished speaking, Liu Erbao rushed out.At this moment, Tang Shanhai also guessed that it might be Tao Dachun who asked the wonton vendor to test the enemy's situation, his heart froze, and he ordered Ada sternly to call his brothers to come out for reinforcements, and quickly followed him out.
