Chapter 121 Fake Death
"You should have set up a table to celebrate this kind of happy event, but this is our job. We can only keep the reward to ourselves."

Listening to Master Niu's endless chatter, Zhao Xuan sighed and said:

"I went to the International Cemetery today, Lao Zheng, thank you!"

Master Niu was slightly startled, then said seriously:
"This is what I should do. Hu Niu is an admirable girl. At least if it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to face death as calmly as she did."

"But I feel there is something wrong with Doctor Yang in your infirmary. You'd better not have any contact with her. This person makes me feel a little red just by looking at her."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan had already entered dialysis mode.

From Master Niu's psychological activities, Zhao Xuan learned that Hu Niu's body was originally going to be thrown into the mass grave outside the city, but Yang Huamei, who took over in the end, secretly moved it and buried it.

Originally, only Zhao Xuan knew about this matter. It was when Zhao Xuan was changing the dressing in the infirmary that he mentioned the death of the female Military Control Commission agent in the interrogation room. Only then did he learn about the burial place of Hu Niu from Yang Huamei's psychological activities.

Later, Zhao Xuan's superior was replaced by Master Niu, and Zhao Xuan asked Master Niu to take away Li Mingzhu's body and find a new home for her.

It was a coincidence that when Master Niu went to take Hu Niu's body, he actually saw Yang Huamei placed a bunch of lilies in front of the grave and said something that Master Niu heard. Fortunately, those words sounded ambiguous. Master Niu could only guess that there was something wrong with Yang Huamei, but he could not produce any actual evidence.

Zhao Xuan was grateful to Yang Huamei for helping to collect Hu Niu's remains.

So from then on, Zhao Xuan would repay this favor if he could. Otherwise, Zhao Xuan would not have chosen Yang Huamei among the vast Red Ocean.

But Zhao Xuan didn't expect that after repaying this favor, he would eventually turn himself into the morning light.

"I see. I don't have much in common with her. You didn't come here just to tell me this, did you?"

Master Niu took a deep breath, stood up from the bench, walked to Zhao Xuan's side, looked at Zhoushan Lake and said:
"According to the information you provided last time, we have already determined Asamiya Hitohiko's whereabouts. Three days from now, a plane from Japan to Hongkou Airport in Shanghai will land, and Asamiya Hitohiko will be on this plane."

"In addition, three members of the Sakura Group have been arrested and are now secretly escorted back to Shancheng. Boss Dai expressed his recognition and appreciation for your contribution this time, and also approved a special fund for our group, 3,000 US dollars. You can withdraw this money if you want."

Before Master Niu finished speaking, Zhao Xuan shook his head:
"Send my share to Huniu's family. She must have always felt guilty towards Zhou Dahe and his daughter. After sending this money, Huniu's parents can continue to support Zhou Xiaoman's studies and improve their lives at the same time."

Master Niu smiled and nodded:

"You don't have to worry about this. Director Shen has decided to accept Zhou Xiaoman as his apprentice. He is still observing her, but I heard that this little girl is very smart. Who knows, she may become your junior sister soon."

Seeing Zhao Xuan's face darken, Master Niu was shocked and quickly explained:
"Youhu, don't worry. Director Shen accepted her as his apprentice, but he didn't send her to the front line. In the mountain city, without connections, it would be difficult for Zhou Xiaoman to go on. With Director Shen, at least she can be kept safe."

"Director Shen, I still trust him. Come on, don't beat around the bush. What kind of help do you want me to provide after Asamiya Jiuyan arrives in the Magic City?"

Master Niu coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment:
"Boss Dai's idea is that it would be best if Asamiya Jiuyan could leave Hongkou."

Zhao Xuan chuckled and tilted his head to look at Master Niu:
"Boss Dai is really bold."

"Didn't you just ask me to provide the specific time and location of Asamiya Jiuyan's arrival in the Magic City? Now you want him to leave Hongkou. He's my son, so he'll do whatever I say?"

Master Niu smiled helplessly:

"We didn't expect that he would land directly at Hongkou Airport. Our people couldn't get in there on the day Asamiya Naruhiko arrived."

"Even if we sneak in ahead of time, when the day comes, the military police will definitely clear the area again."

"If Asamiya Jiuhiko stays at the Military Police Headquarters after arriving in the Magic City, we won't have a chance to take action. Therefore, we can only succeed in the assassination if we make him leave Hongkou."

As for Asamiya Naruhiko, Zhao Xuan naturally wanted to cut him into pieces.

After listening to Master Niu's words, Zhao Xuan pondered for a few seconds, then turned around and walked out of the park:
"Let me think of a solution. Don't come to Zhoushan Park anymore. It's too far from where I work. And there's no need to meet me. Just pay attention to your dead mailbox."

At this point, Zhao Xuan stopped, turned around and looked at Master Niu and said jokingly:

"By the way, the alley next to the Seymour Road Cafe, didn't you say the dead mailbox is a very secret location?"

After saying that, Zhao Xuan quickened his pace and left. Master Niu stood by the lake and twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely.

It’s hidden, but wasn’t it your wife who found it?

After complaining in his heart, Master Niu gritted his teeth and decided that if the dead mailbox was discovered by others this time, he would jump from here and drown!

No. 76, Jessfield Road. Ever since the Telecommunications Department intercepted two secret messages sent from Shancheng, the entire Telecommunications Department has been extremely busy.

Dao Yan, who had just taken leave, returned to the Intelligence Department to participate in the decryption work.

Although Yan could tell the content of the secret message at a glance, it still took some effort to pretend to decipher it.

After Zhao Xuan came back, he rushed into the office and went through all the information that Miao Xue had sorted out this morning.

In scanning mode, big data analysis quickly allowed Zhao Xuan to discover something interesting.

At the end of this month, No. 76 purchased a batch of gasoline, which was three times more than last month.

Moreover, this batch of gasoline was obtained from the gendarmerie.

According to the comparison and analysis of previous gasoline purchasing records, the amount purchased by the Special High Section was more than six times higher than usual.

There is so much gasoline that even if the agents from No. 76 were taken out for a stroll every day, it would not be used up in three months.

"It seems that the radio car is really coming down. Ding Moqun and the Japanese are working hard to use the radio car to reduce the living space of the Military Control Commission and the underground party."

Zhao Xuan lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair, thinking carefully.

If that day really comes, even the checkpoints leaving the city will probably be strengthened, and it will not be so easy to enter and exit the Magic City.

If you want to contact home, you have to use the radio. Once you use it, will you use it in the Magic City or outside the city?

If I go outside the city, how can I pass the customs inspection?

A radio is such a valuable item, no one would find a place to put it in the suburbs.

If something goes wrong and the radio breaks down when sending a message, then we will be completely in the dark.

Therefore, the radio needs to be placed in a place where you can visit frequently, and checked every once in a while to make sure there are no problems with the telegraph.

So when that time really comes, most of the hidden agents will still choose to send telegrams within the city.

If you send it out of town, you also have to find a way to move the radio station safely.

Moreover, it is impossible to let anyone other than the telegraph operator keep a radio for a long time. This means that even if the radio is successfully moved out of the city, you still have to find a way to get it back to the city after sending the telegram outside.

The risk of going in and out is too great.

However, sending messages in the city when there are radio vehicles patrolling is extremely dangerous.

Based on the amount of gasoline purchased by No. 76, Zhao Xuan could imagine that after the radio car arrived, the telecommunications department would definitely work around the clock.

The radio car runs in the city from morning till night.

In this case, no matter what time you send the message, you will take a great risk.

After extinguishing the cigarette, Zhao Xuan sat up straight and continued to retrieve other intelligence content for review.

As expected, the telecommunications department has already planned to recruit staff and the funds have been approved.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan’s guess can be confirmed. Soon, there will be another scenic spot in the Magic City.

"In two days, it seems that Wang Da has invested a lot this time."

"Asamiya Naruhiko will arrive in the Magic City in the morning three days later, and the radio car will be delivered to the Special Higher Section and Unit 76 the day after tomorrow." "Now Daoyan is in charge of handing over the radio car. If there is a problem with the radio car, Daoyan's job as the head of the Telecommunications Department will be over."

Two days later, with the help of the radio car, it would become only more difficult to assassinate Asamiya Naruhiko.

The more Zhao Xuan thought about it, the more headache he got. If he really wanted to leave Asamiya Naruhiko in the Magic City, after completing the mission this time, the Magic City Station would probably be left with only an empty shell.

Although it is worth making such a huge sacrifice in exchange for Asamiya Naruhiko, Zhao Xuan does not want to see his colleagues pay such a huge price.

"Forget it. Asamiya Naruhiko hasn't arrived yet. No matter how powerful I am, I can't set up the situation in advance and let him jump down!"

After stacking up the materials sorted by Miao Xue, Zhao Xuan looked at the time on the wall clock. It was a little after four o'clock.

The biological clock is indeed punctual. At this time normally, Zhao Xuan would have already started packing to pick up his sister-in-law.

But now that this job is gone, Zhao Xuan is a little uncomfortable for a while.

There was nothing else to do in the office for the time being, so Zhao Xuan planned to go to the yard and ask Edith to find out about Chen Shangqing's background.

Since we want to help Miao Xue infiltrate the underground party and serve as our eyes and ears, we have to find a way to rescue Chen Shangqing. For both public and private reasons, he has to be rescued!

In Compound No. 76, Zhao Xuan looked up at the office building. In scanning mode, anyone who was spying on him would have nowhere to hide.

In the director's office on the third floor, Ding Moqun was standing at the window watching.

In the office of the head of the telecommunications department on the second floor, Dao Yan, who was pretending to "try hard" to decipher the telegram, was also standing at the window and lifting a corner of the curtain to look at himself.

But soon, under the observation of scanning mode and dialysis mode, Dao Yan began to pack up and go downstairs.

Zhao Xuan turned his gaze to the infirmary, and after confirming Chen Shangqing's physical condition, he started communicating with Edith.

(Edith, what dose of the drug that Chen Shangqing injected before could allow him to remain in suspended animation for more than six hours?)

(.)

(Sir, are you kidding me?)

(I'm not kidding. If he doesn't receive comprehensive treatment, he'll probably be like this for the rest of his life. Rather than letting him lie in bed and Zhang Sanjin sneaking around to inject him with drugs every day, it's better to take a risk and let him fake his death and escape from No. 76.)
If it weren't for Edith's precise calculation ability, Zhao Xuan wouldn't dare to have this idea.

However, if they want Chen Shangqing to leave No. 76, they have to let him die first. Otherwise, with Ding Moqun watching, it will be difficult for the Special High Section to take action. If they can't handle it properly, Chen Shangqing will be really useless in a few days.

Zhao Xuan now feels a little funny. Chen Shangqing is in a very embarrassing situation right now.

When he was full of life, the gendarmerie and the Special High Section were vying for him everywhere. But now that they knew that Chen Shangqing was often in shock and coma, not only the Special High Section but even the gendarmerie hospital refused to accept Chen Shangqing.

Therefore, now Chen Shangqing will either die in No. 76, or become a completely useless person, losing all his value, and be hastily killed by the Japanese or Ding Moqun.

Zhoushan Road, Miao Restaurant.

From the time when Ta Kung Pao did not publish a missing person notice to the time when Miao Xue brought back information about Chen Shangqing's current situation, Miao Lu had been silent for a long time.

Looking at Miao Xue who was playing with her son, Miao Lu's eyes flashed with a complex light.

After watching Miao Xue and Li Dingshan talking and laughing for a while, Miao Lu finally spoke with difficulty:
"Xiaoxue, I have something to tell you."

Miao Xue let go of Li Dingshan, who was in her arms, and looked back at Miao Lu in surprise.

Seeing Miao Lu's eye signal, Miao Xue nodded, raised her hand to stroke Li Dingshan's head, told him to play alone for a while, then stood up and followed Miao Lu out of the room.

"Why did you get off work so early today?"

Miao Xue had already thought about the questions Miao Lu would ask:
"There's nothing to do in the Intelligence Department right now. Plus, the Chief went to the International Cemetery today to bury his parents' ashes, so he doesn't need anyone to accompany him, so I was given the day off."

"Besides, if I don't come back, how will you know about Chen Shangqing's news?"

Miao Lu smiled bitterly and nodded:
"Xiaoxue, it's not that I don't trust you. In this situation, I can't protect myself. As you said, I can't let my family down."

"But if I don't rescue your brother-in-law, I..."

Miao Xue waved her hands, frowned slightly, and said unhappily:
"So, as long as you rescue Chen Shangqing, you will leave, right?"

Seeing Miao Lu nod, Miao Xue thought for a few seconds, and finally shook her head and said:

"You want to rescue Chen Shangqing with just the two of us? Either you are crazy or I am crazy!"

Miao Lu quickly grabbed Miao Xue's hand and said nervously:
"No, Xiaoxue, I've thought it through. I must contact the organization as soon as possible. If the organization's people get involved, the chances of rescuing Lao Chen will be greater."

"Just Me Yesterday"

Before Miao Lu could finish, Miao Xue laughed and said:

"The missing person notice you posted at the Ta Kung Pao in the French Concession yesterday didn't appear in the newspaper today, right? Your codeword for contact was on it."

"But have you ever thought about why it wasn't reported in the newspaper? You're not going to ask about it now, are you?"

Miao Lu wasn't that stupid. Since there was no missing person notice published in Ta Kung Pao today, Miao Lu roughly guessed:
"I suspect that Yuan Fang, who went with you to the French Concession, was the one who withheld the missing person notice. After all, when we came back yesterday, he disappeared halfway."

"I think he may have suspected me. If I go to the Ta Kung Pao again, I'm afraid his people will be watching me there. I will be walking into a trap if I go there."

Miao Xue laughed:
"Not too stupid. Yuan Fang has always wanted to make contributions in the Intelligence Department, and he is very smart. You took my ID away yesterday, and you went to the French Concession. This kind of thing will definitely arouse Yuan Fang's suspicion."

"So you asked me to come out, what do you want me to help you with?"

Miao Lu gritted her teeth. She had no choice now. She was afraid of Chen Shangqing's current condition. If she delayed a few days, it would be useless even if she rescued him.

"I wanted to post a missing person notice again at Shenjiang Newspaper Office, but this morning, I went to Hankou Road. I was originally going to Shenjiang Newspaper Office, but I found that there were spies camped nearby. I suspect it was someone from No. 76."

"I want you to go and see if it's someone from your intelligence department. If it is, can you help me lead him away, or help me post this missing person notice?"

Miao Xue was already amused by Miao Lu's request:
"My dear sister, do you think I'm not dying fast enough?"

"I haven't reported you yet, which is the greatest tolerance I have shown you. If you let me do this, how can I stay in No. 76 in the future? Do you think our section chief is a pushover? Once he finds out about this, you will run away after rescuing Chen Shangqing. What about me and my father? Miao Lu, have you ever thought about this family?"

Miao Lu's eyes instantly turned red, and tears started to flow down:

"Little sister, you were not like this before. What you hated most were these traitorous dogs and those bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong."

"But what's the difference between you and those people now?"

"No. 76 is a den of traitors. Do you want to stay there forever? Besides, I believe we will defeat the Japanese sooner or later. What will you do then?"

"Xiaoxue, please turn back. It's not too late now. I beg you!"

Miao Xue lowered her head with a gloomy expression. After a long while, she clenched her fists and looked up at Miao Lu:

"Looking back, you have an organization and a way out. If I look back, where can I go? Tell me, where the hell can I go?"

"You can take your son and your husband and leave, you can ignore your father, but I'm not as cruel as you!"

Hearing this, Miao Lu was delighted. It seemed that her sister joining No. 76 was just a temporary measure.

Although she can't fully trust her sister now, it's a good start that her sister has this vision and idea.

Just as Miao Lu was thinking about how to take advantage of the victory and completely pull her sister into her camp, Miao Xue looked at her with deep hatred and said:
"Miao Lu, I hope you'll keep your word. After this is over, you and your family will get out of here. Never come back, and never let me see you again!"
