Chapter 285 Completely over
"Xiaoman, you wait outside the main hall with the people from the intelligence department, don't disturb the masters doing morning classes."

"Okay, Director Wang."

After arranging things, Wang Manchun and Master Jueyuan walked into the main hall of the main hall of Jing'an Temple.

Liang Zhongchun brought the people from the Operation Department to the gate of Jing'an Temple. Tong Hu said with a displeased face: "What does that woman Wang Manchun mean? Let us guard the door for her? We are here to search the underground party. She is fine. The party didn’t find it, so go and chant scriptures with a group of monks now! If you chant scriptures before dawn, you’re going to curse someone to death!”

Having said that, he suddenly looked at Liang Zhongchun suspiciously, and said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, that woman surnamed Wang must be chanting scriptures and cursing you inside, right? Then we can't just sit and wait for death!"

Hearing this, Liang Zhongchun closed his eyes hating iron and steel, took a deep breath to suppress his inner anger, then looked at his brother-in-law with an idiot look, and smiled: "If you don't know how to speak, just say less." sentence."

"But brother-in-law..."

"Shut up!" Liang Zhongchun stared, "Damn it, I hope Wang Manchun will curse you to death by reciting scriptures, so that I can be quiet for a while! Read more books, it's too long to go on? When did you hear that? Chanting scriptures can curse the dead, if that is true, who would believe in Buddha!"

Tong Hu suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that chanting mantras can't kill people, so what can you recite to curse dead people, brother-in-law?"

"Well..." Liang Zhongchun thought for a while, and suddenly realized something was wrong, he turned around and slapped his brother-in-law on the head, "None of your business! If you have time to think about these messy things, why not think about how to improve your investigative ability Don't let me be ridiculed by Wang Manchun in the bureau every day or two, and my subordinates are a bunch of trash who can't even handle things well!"

"Oh, good brother-in-law." Tong Hu suddenly became weak.

In the main hall of the main hall of Jing'an Temple, Wang Manchun sat cross-legged on a futon and read the Heart Sutra with Master Jueyuan before getting up to leave.

Seeing her coming out of the hall, Zhuang Xiaoman stepped forward and asked, "Director Wang, did you find anything?"

Of course, she couldn't simply think that Wang Manchun really wanted to have morning lessons with the monks. She must have doubts before using the morning lessons as an excuse to try.

Wang Manchun shook his head and said, "No."

"It seems that there is indeed no problem with this Jing'an Temple."

"That's not necessarily true. Sometimes the calmer you are, the more problems you have." Wang Manchun looked at the temple thoughtfully, "Last night there were several fire incidents in the concession, and there are four of them not far from Jing'an Temple." , but they didn't respond at all, and I didn't even hear the private discussion, don't you think it's strange?"

"It's a little strange."

"So I'm sure there must be a problem here, but I just don't know where the problem lies." Wang Manchun said and walked towards the gate of the temple.

Liang Zhongchun, who was waiting at the door, saw Wang Manchun coming out, so he stepped forward and said, "Hey, Director Wang finished morning class?"

Wang Manchun glanced at him, then turned to tell the two spies under his command: "You stay and monitor Jing'an Temple to see if there are any suspicious people coming in and out. Others should go back and rest first."

"Director Wang, what about you?"

"I still have to go to the Special High School to report the search results here to Section Chief Nantian."

Wang Manchun drove away alone, and the people in the intelligence department also disbanded.

"Director Liang, what about us?" Tong Hu asked.

"Hmph, of course I went home to rest. I couldn't find the fart after being busy all night. Let me see how Wang Manchun explained it to Yoko Nantian!" Liang Zhongchun sneered.

In a restaurant across the street from the gate of Jing'an Temple, Zhang Jin and Mingcheng were sitting on the second floor by the window, eating breakfast while observing the situation of Jing'an Temple.

"Everyone in No. 76 has left, leaving only two eyeliners to watch outside." Mingcheng said.

Zhang Jin put a piece of steamed bun in his mouth, and said while eating: "Wang Manchun and Nantian Yoko are really not to be underestimated. They thought of the key point of the matter so quickly. Fortunately, you have made sufficient preparations, otherwise would you It is not certain that the evacuation will be arranged smoothly."

"The person who can be sent to Shanghai to be the head of a special high school is not easy. Wang Manchun is also a smart person, but it is a pity that the smartness is used in the wrong place. No matter how good they are, they are only one foot above the devil. Zhang." Mingcheng looked confident.

"So the next thing is your shot or my shot?" Zhang Jin asked.

Mingcheng said with a smile, "Go ahead and let your partner take over this matter to earn more goodwill and trust."

"Okay, then I'll go." Zhang Jin put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, got up and walked downstairs.

Zhuang Xiaoman was walking on the street. It was dawn at this time. Many early morning vendors set up fire stalls on the side of the road. Vegetable farmers also took to the street with their vegetable loads. Ordinary people in the concession began their day's work.

In this environment, it is easy to be discovered when someone is following you.

Zhuang Xiaoman looked back and found that it was Zhang Jin, so he motioned for him to meet in the next alley.

Soon, the two completed the joint.

Zhuang Xiaoman said: "Is there any emergency in looking for me in such a hurry?"

Zhang Jin also cut to the chase: "Wang Manchun didn't find anything in Jing'an Temple?"

"Yes, what, do you have an idea?"

"You tell her to ask her to check the sewer, maybe she can find a secret passage or something."

Zhuang Xiaoman looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you serious? Although the underground party is not from our side, it is also an ally in the joint resistance against Japan. Isn't it good?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not betraying the underground party, because there is nothing in the sewers, and it will be easier for Wang Manchun and Nantian Yoko to pay attention to it if you raise this point."

"Okay." Zhuang Xiaoman nodded in agreement.

"Look, this is the engineering drawing of the distribution of sewers in the public concession, and Jing'an Temple is just above one of the sewers..." Zhang Jin took out the blueprint given by Mingcheng and began to tell Zhuang Xiaoman what she was going to tell Wang Manchun Listen to words.

Ming family.

"Ah Cheng, you haven't come home all night? What are you so busy with?" Ming Jing looked at Ming Cheng who came back from the door just now.

"Oh, big sister, it's just a matter of official business. A few houses were burned down in the concession. The Ministry of Industry Bureau insisted that our new government's secret service department did it. Didn't I argue with them until dawn?" Mingcheng said casually.

"Why is the concession area in such a mess now?" Ming Jing shook his head helplessly, looked at the three brothers and said, "Be careful when you go out in the future! Ming Lou, Ah Cheng, especially the two of you, should be more low-key when working in the new government. do you know!"

"Understood, ma'am."

"What's the use of being careful, it's better to simply resign, so as not to worry about it all day long." Mingtai said eccentrically beside him.

The plot was completely disrupted by Zhang Jin. Ming Tai, who had learned the identity of the elder brother after the assassination of Yoko Nantian, still hadn't figured out whether the elder brother was black or white.

Ming Jing knew that his younger brother was from Chongqing, but he couldn't reveal his identity, so he waved his hand to interrupt and said, "Stop saying such nasty things, Ah Cheng, let's have breakfast before going to rest."

"Okay, big sister." Mingcheng put down his briefcase, took off his coat, and sat down at the dining table.

After a hearty breakfast, Ming Jing went to the company to deal with affairs, Ming Tai went back to the photo studio to stand by, leaving Ming Lou and Ming Cheng at home.

study.

Minglou asked, "Is everything settled?"

Mingcheng replied: "Everything has been dealt with. The comrades exposed on the list have already arranged to evacuate. I believe they will be able to retreat to the border area soon and then transfer to other latent areas. Wang Manchun and Nantian Yoko have already suspected Jing'an Temple, but I have already A plan has been arranged to reassure them of their suspicions."

"Very well, thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest first, and I will take care of the next things. It's time to go to the Special High School and No. 76 to get a sense of my existence as the deputy director of the special committee." Minglou said.

"My performance is over, it's your turn to play." Mingcheng smiled.

Minglou immediately got up when he heard the words, and said in a tone of reminiscence: "When I was teaching in Paris, I was also a person who performed in opera performances in the Grand Theater, and I performed in big operas such as Romeo and Juliet."

"Awesome, come on, I'm optimistic about you." Mingcheng patted his arm perfunctorily, turned and walked out of the study, muttering in a low voice, "It's just that there's nothing to be happy about playing a role that was killed. , wearing a wig and curly beard, it's hard to tell who's who..."

"Where are you muttering?" Minglou turned his head and asked.

"It's nothing, just a compliment to you for a good performance. Well, a good performance! That red coat suits you very well!"

"Really? How do I remember that I was wearing a blue coat? Hey, Ah Cheng... Where is he? He ran so fast!"

Extra high class.

Having not slept all night, and receiving all bad news, Yoko Nantian had a very gloomy expression on her face at the moment.

"Even the last expectation has come to nothing. It seems that your previous speculation was not correct."

"Section Chief Nantian, I always think that my speculation is correct. The transfer of the underground party must be concealed and fast enough to transfer so many people on the list at the same time, and we haven't found them from the concession until now. If you come out, it will explain the problem very well." Wang Manchun argued with reason.

"All conjectures are just conjectures until there is no evidence and results. Let's change the direction. Don't go all the way to the dark. Now this is a dead end!" Nantian Yoko said.

"Master Nantian, I..."

Lieutenant Asano suddenly walked in and interrupted Wang Manchun: "Report! Zhuang Xiaoman from No. 76 asks to see you."

"Let her in." After Yoko Nantian finished speaking, she glanced at Wang Manchun.

"Section Chief Nantian, Director Wang." Zhuang Xiaoman saluted after entering, "I have a new discovery!"

"What did you find out? Did the people under surveillance at Jing'an Temple report back?" Wang Manchun asked impatiently.

Zhuang Xiaoman said: "No, it's just that I suddenly thought of something on the way back. If Jing'an Temple is really the evacuation hideout of the underground party, then there must be a way to leave. If you want to leave quietly, there is nothing better than authentic A more appropriate method."

"You discovered the tunnel of Jing'an Temple?" Yoko Nantian asked.

Zhuang Xiaoman said: "Director Wang took us to search Jing'an Temple before, but we didn't find the entrance of the tunnel. If there is such a tunnel, then the entrance must be very hidden. It is impossible not to turn Jing'an Temple upside down. discovered."

"Yes, on the surface, there is no trace of the suspected tunnel entrance in Jing'an Temple." Wang Manchun also said.

Yoko Nantian frowned and said, "You don't want me to search Jing'an Temple thoroughly, do you? This is absolutely not possible. Jing'an Temple has too many goals, and it is easy to cause troublesome disputes. The Ministry of Industry and the Consulate will not allow us to do this , there is no way to persuade them to agree without evidence and only suspicion."

At this time, Japan has not completely turned against the European and American powers, and the deterrence of the public concession is still there.

Zhuang Xiaoman said: "It is not a small project to dig a passage from Jing'an Temple to the outside of the concession. I remember that Jing'an Temple has not undergone major construction projects in the past few years, otherwise it is impossible that there will be no newspaper reports. Jing'an Temple is full of incense. People go, the greater the noise and the longer the excavation time, the easier it is for outsiders to discover, so I guess that even if there is a tunnel in Jing'an Temple, it will not be too long, so that the excavation can be completed in a short period of time with the smallest movement."

"From Jing'an Temple to the outside of the concession, the shortest distance is at least four or five miles. Even digging a tunnel that can be walked alone is not a small project." Wang Manchun said after calculation.

"So, I thought of something that can shorten the length of the tunnel and ensure leaving the concession."

"What thing?"

Both Wang Manchun and Nantian Yoko were very curious.

"The sewers are unique in the concession. If the tunnels are connected to the sewers, you can travel to many places through the sewers. The exit of the sewers is opened near the downstream sea outlet, and it is even more difficult to find in the wilderness." Zhuang Xiaoman said. , "I have observed the streets around Jing'an Temple, and saw a sewer entrance, there must be a sewer passing by. Since we can't directly search Jing'an Temple to see if there is a tunnel entrance, then we will find the tunnel exit and follow the tunnel to find the exit."

"It makes sense, Director Wang, your subordinate is very good!" Yoko Nantian nodded in praise.

Zhuang Xiaoman said modestly: "Mr. Nantian is too much."

Wang Manchun also smiled and said, "Xiaoman is indeed my right-hand man, my right-hand man."

Yoko Nantian stood up and announced, "Follow me immediately to investigate the sewers. As long as we can find the hidden tunnels in Jing'an Temple, we can use these monks to fish out the underground party still lurking in Shanghai!"

Zhuang Xiaoman followed Nantian Yoko and Zhuang Xiaoman, and what Zhang Jin said to him before emerged in his mind.

"Don't worry, it is impossible for Yoko Nantian to find the tunnel exit in the sewer. The Jing'an Temple tunnel leads directly to the outside of the concession. Don't wonder why the underground party can dig such a tunnel. You must know that Jing'an Temple has a history of thousands of years." history."

Just when Yoko Nantian took people to check the exit of the sewer in the concession, and sent people to the outskirts where the sewer outlet was located to investigate the situation, the evacuated comrades from the underground party who were safely transferred to the suburbs had already contacted the guerrillas. With the help of my colleagues, I went to the border area to rest temporarily and wait for the next arrangement.

There is no longer a place for them in Shanghai, but there are still opportunities for them to show their strengths and ambitions in Northeast China, North China, Guangnan and Hong Kong!
