Anti-Japanese Ace Agent

Chapter 230
Zhao Qiaoyun, who was standing in front of the gate of Courtyard No. 6, Tai'anli, in the French Concession of Shangjiang City, after gathering his composure, immediately stretched out a hand, and there was a "bang bang bang" knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, she knocked on the door with three short signals of "bang bang... bang bang... bang bang", while pretending to be familiar with the family who closed the gate of the yard, she said domineeringly: "At home Is there anyone? Why is the gate of the courtyard still locked, come out quickly and open the door for my aunt."

"Don't worry, don't worry, here we come, here we come." When Zhao Qiaoyun knocked on the door for about 1 minute, he heard a man coming out from inside, the footsteps of "Ba Da Ba Da" from far to near , the man trotting all the way over was still in a hurry to comfort Zhao Qiaoyun who was knocking on the door.

After the footsteps disappeared, Zhao Qiaoyun, who was standing outside the door, heard a "squeak". The courtyard gate, which had been closed just now, was suddenly blocked by a middle-aged man in a gray-white gown with parted hair and black-rimmed glasses. The young man opened the courtyard door from the inside.

After the middle-aged man opened the courtyard door from the inside, he poked his head out from between the two doors, took a fixed look at Zhao Qiaoyun who was standing outside the courtyard door dressed as a village girl, and looked suspiciously at Zhao Qiaoyun. After a glance, he asked noncommittally: "Girl, it's so strange to see you, I don't know you at all? Miss, did you knock on the wrong door?"

"That's right, isn't your place at No. [-] Tai'anli, the French Concession in Shangjiang City?" Zhao Qiaoyun answered the middle-aged man's question, while stretching out a hand and gently placed it on a facade in front of him. , tapped on the door panel lightly, issued three short signals of "bang bang... bang bang... bang bang..." and stretched out his other hand, pointing to the house number hanging on the lintel, some Unsure about it, he asked back.

"Yes, girl, could it be, you, you are..." The middle-aged man who hurriedly came to open the door didn't listen carefully to the three short signals Zhao Qiaoyun knocked on the door loudly just now. After he clearly heard the three short signals from Zhao Qiaoyun's soft knock on the door, he immediately understood that the woman dressed as a village girl standing in front of him was probably an underground woman who came to meet them. Comrades of the party organization.It's just that the middle-aged man felt a little strange and didn't dare to be particularly sure. He was a little undecided, so he could only hesitate and continue to speak indisputably.

The reason why this middle-aged man is not sure (the woman who sent him three short emergency contact signals is a comrade from the underground party organization in Shangjiang City is because according to the deployment of Comrade Lao Li, the head of the underground party organization in Shangjiang City, They temporarily lived in the No. [-] courtyard of Tai'anli in the French Concession of Shangjiang City. A dozen comrades from the underground party were responsible for the typesetting and printing of the self-run newspaper "Shangjiang News". Comrade Lao Li was their only one-line contact person. In addition, they do not maintain any contact with other underground party comrades in Shangjiang City.

Of course.Except for Comrade Li, other comrades in the underground party organization in Shangjiang City did not even know of their existence.

But at this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly saw a young woman who appeared out of nowhere and sent him the "three short" emergency contact code, which made him feel very incredible and at the same time a little suspicious .Therefore, this gave him some uncertain thoughts and concerns.

However, Zhao Qiaoyun saw that the middle-aged man standing in front of her looked at her from indifference to enthusiasm, and at the same time, there were some flickering, for fear that the middle-aged man was about to blurt out her eyes. As soon as she revealed her true identity and intentions, she immediately had an idea and quickly interrupted his words, interjecting: "I am a peddler who sells cigarettes from door to door, and now I happen to be selling cigarettes to your home. So what big brother, do you need cigarettes? I am here to import high-quality cigarettes, ordinary stores do not buy them, only foreigners smoke high-quality cigarettes, buy it now, half an ocean for a box of cigarettes, pick whatever you want Choose. But it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don’t miss it and don’t come again, after passing this village, there will be no such shop in the future.”

"You, you sell cigarettes? I, I came out in a hurry just now, and I didn't bring Dayang with me. I think it's better to forget it. Girl, you should go to the next house to recommend your cigarettes. "After listening to Zhao Qiaoyun's speech about recommending cigarettes, the middle-aged man looked at a drawer dedicated to selling cigarettes on the ground in front of Zhao Qiaoyun, and immediately showed a look of disappointment. Then he poked his head back, waved his hands, shook his head, and called Zhao Qiaoyun coldly.

"Brother, don't close the door in a hurry. I haven't finished speaking yet, wait a moment and listen to me." Zhao Qiaoyun, who was standing in front of the courtyard gate, saw the middle-aged man opposite After she shrank back from the crack of the door, and made a gesture of wanting to close the two doors again from the inside, she quickly picked up the one on the ground containing all kinds of imported cigarettes. Drawer, stretched out the other hand to firmly move a door, and said anxiously and obstructed.

As soon as Zhao Qiaoyun's words fell, the middle-aged man who was about to close the courtyard door again from the inside just now froze in place, not knowing what to do.

Just waiting for this time, Zhao Qiaoyun said that it was too late, and then quickly opened the drawer with all kinds of imported cigarettes on his chest with both hands.Since Zhao Qiaoyun opened it sideways in the direction of Zhang Mingyi who was sitting in the black car parked at the entrance of the alley 20 meters away, a large sheet of white silver foil paper was laid out neatly on the floor of the drawer. Below the twenty or thirty packs of cigarettes.

At the same time, the other side of the drawer is also covered with a piece of white silver foil.In addition, it was eleven o'clock in the morning at this time, and when the sun hanging high above the head shone on the silver foil on both sides of the open drawer, it happened as if it was shining on a mirror. Suddenly, Zhang Mingyi, who was watching Zhao Qiaoyun's every move through the front windshield, shook his eyes a few times.

While shaking Zhang Mingyi a few times, Zhao Qiaoyun quickly took out a pack of opened cigarettes from the drawer, stuffed them into the hands of the middle-aged man behind the door, and winkingly beckoned him to hide the cigarettes quickly .

Although the middle-aged man who had woken up felt a little baffled by this, he didn't know why. He cooperated very well with Zhao Qiaoyun and quickly put the cigarette in his hand into his trouser pocket. After hesitating for two or three seconds, he then said " With a bang, the gate of the courtyard was tightly closed again from the inside.

After seeing this, Zhao Qiaoyun finally let out a long sigh of relief, and then quickly moved the direction of opening the drawer from the side facing Zhang Mingyi to the side facing the closed courtyard door in front of her.Immediately afterwards, she sighed softly, pretending to be very disappointed, and closed the drawers with a "snap".

"Chief Zhao, what happened just now? I seemed to be dazzled by something just now, and I couldn't see anything clearly. It only took a few seconds, and now it's all right again. It's really strange " When Zhao Qiaoyun, who "returned in a feather", returned to the car and sat in the front passenger seat, Zhang Mingyi, who was sitting in the driver's seat next to her, immediately turned his head, with a face written all over his face. With an expression of bewilderment and surprise, he asked Zhao Qiaoyun.

"Captain Zhang, what you asked is really interesting. I was outside the car to spy on intelligence just now, and you, an old man, sat alone in the car. You were dazzled. How could I know what was going on? The question you are asking is itself a question, how do you ask me to answer you." After hearing Zhang Mingyi's question, Zhao Qiaoyun immediately felt a little guilty, but she pretended to be nonchalant, with the words written all over her cheeks. With an innocent expression, he asked back.

"What you said, Section Chief Zhao, is exactly what you said. I stayed in the car just now when I was dazzled. But Section Chief Zhao, you got out of the car and went to investigate the situation. You didn't know anything about the abnormal situation in the car. , My question is equivalent to asking for nothing. I'm sorry, Chief Zhao, don't pay too much attention to it. I asked you this question out of curiosity. Besides, it's just you and me in this In the car, I have no one else to ask except you." Zhang Mingyi realized after being asked by Zhao Qiaoyun that the question he just asked was a bit presumptuous and abrupt, and he quickly apologized to Zhao Qiaoyun who was showing a sullen expression. .

After Zhang Mingyi thought for a while, he remembered the purpose of the two of them coming here. He immediately changed the subject and asked Zhao Qiaoyun with a smile on his face, "By the way, Section Chief Zhao, just now you pretended to be walking around the street. I saw you knocking on the gate of their yard, a female vendor selling cigarettes from door to door in the alley. From my position, I vaguely saw a head with black eyes protruding from the crack of the door. I had a brief conversation with you, what did the two of you say, how is the investigation going, might as well tell your partner and me. We can plan and deploy the next step together.”

"Captain Zhang, it's okay if you don't mention it. If you mention it, I won't be angry. You said, these abandoned families are dedicated to fighting against the Japanese and the new government created by Chairman Wang. Underground party members , They live in seclusion and live in poverty. They can't even spend half an ocean to buy a pack of cigarettes. They can even run a newspaper at their own expense. What do you think they are drawing? I really can't figure it out.

"Just now, after I knocked on the door, the underground party member was very vigilant. He didn't open the door completely, but only revealed a crack in the door, and half of the thief came out to talk to me. When I said something After a while, I made friends with him, and sold cigarettes to him at the same time, but he didn’t intend to buy cigarettes, so he turned me away. Before I said, I can give him a few packs of cigarettes, People bolted the courtyard door from the inside.

"However, I went to inquire about the situation this time, and it was not without any gains. After I looked in through the crack of the door opened by this underground party, I found that there were two large pots set up in their yard. In the yard, there are laundry clothes hanging on the drying line on the tree trunk. I estimated that there are at least ten to fifteen people living in the No. [-] courtyard of Tai'anli.

"And judging from the vigilance of the underground party, they are very vigilant. If we insist on rushing in, I think it will be difficult for our action team to control the situation without a hundred or so people." After Zhao Qiaoyun heard Zhang Mingyi's questioning, she prepared a plan of how to deal with it on the 20-meter journey back to the car. It took a lot of effort to talk about it.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingyi couldn't help but gasped, and secretly thanked himself for not acting rashly, otherwise, he would have suffered a heavy loss.Because he received information last night that No. [-] Courtyard of Tai'anli in the French Concession of Shangjiang City is the secret hideout of the underground party organization privately running "Shangjiang News".

After hearing the great news, Zhang Mingyi, who was eager to do great work, held a heart eager for quick success and a little underestimation of the enemy. He summoned a dozen of his brothers and hurried over, preparing to rush into the No. [-] courtyard in Tai'anli. Get rid of all the personnel of the underground party organization hiding in this secret den.

When Zhang Mingyi was about to take action, under the subconscious reminder of a member of the accompanying action team, he felt that he didn't know what was going on inside. If he acted rashly, he might startle the snake. Not only did he not capture anyone, but he might also suffer a certain loss.Furthermore, for such a big operation, one should greet and report to Director Wang Feng of the Secret Service in advance, so as not to cause unhappiness due to cutting first and playing later.After all, Wang Feng had just taken office, so it would be bad if he got offended.

After listening to what the entourage said, Zhang Mingyi felt that it made sense. He didn't act last night, but kept the dozen or so brothers behind him. It's close to Tai'an Ping No. [-] Courtyard.

In the early morning of this morning, less than 5 minutes after work time, Zhang Mingyi rushed to the director's office on the fifth floor of the Secret Service office building in a hurry.

However, since Wang Feng was still talking to Li Xiaodan about another important matter in his special car parked at the corner of the yard, Zhang Mingyi went from eight o'clock to nine o'clock in the morning. From his office to Wang Feng's office on the fifth floor, he ran up and down no less than five times, and finally saw Wang Feng who had just entered the director's office at around [-] o'clock in the morning, and reported this important information to Wang Feng .

This is how in the end Zhao Qiaoyun and Zhang Mingyi respectively led the intelligence section of the Secret Service and the action team to perform their duties and responsibilities to join forces to arrest the privately run "Shangjiang News" hidden in the No. [-] courtyard of Tai'anli. A member of the underground party organization in Shangjiang City.
