Chapter 978: The note in the pastry (asking for monthly votes)

After Tang Kanlao finished speaking, he looked at Tong Xueyong with a playful smile.

When Tong Xueyong heard this, his face darkened, and he looked at Tang Kanlao coldly.

Tang Kanlao still had a smile on his face, a provocative smile.

Tong Xueyong suddenly smiled, a bitter smile. He nodded and sighed, "There are many unsatisfactory things in life, but nothing is more helpless than having to walk a certain path and live helplessly."

Dong Zhengguo glanced at Tong Xueyong in surprise, and his expression became serious, "Team Leader Tong made a mistake. It's not easy to say this again."

His expression was serious and sincere, "We know the child group leader well, so we won't doubt anything. If someone with ulterior motives listens, they will probably suspect that the child group leader is not sincere."

While speaking, Dong Zhengguo glanced at Tang Canlao and used his eyes to stop Tang Canlao from continuing to make things difficult for Tong Xueyong. However, he saw that Tang Canlao was deep in thought and seemed to have no intention of speaking.

 …

 Tong Xueyong took out the cigarette case from his body, held a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and then scattered the cigarette towards Dong Zhengguo and Tang Kanlao.

Dong Zhengguo smiled and took the cigarette, and reached out to borrow a fire from Tong Xueyong. Tang Kanlao took it expressionlessly and did not refuse the cigarette.

 Tong Xueyong took a deep puff of the cigarette and showed a satisfied look. He said lightly, "Tong did not actively seek refuge with the Japanese. This is a fact."

He waved his hand to stop Dong Zhengguo's persuasion and continued, "There is no need to avoid the fact. Tong has already walked this path, so he can only continue on."

 He flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "There's no turning back."

Looking at Dong Zhengguo, he said with a sincere expression, "Brother Dong, I know why you are looking for me. It's probably because I arranged for someone to take care of the boy in the grocery store."

Dong Zhengguo was quite surprised. He did not expect that Tong Xueyong would take the initiative to mention this matter.

He did not deny it and nodded, "Brother Tong, don't get me wrong. I tend to believe Brother Tong in my heart. I'm just a little curious. It's impossible for Brother Tong not to know that we are using that child to fish with the grocery store. Why? …”

"Help Tingting repay the favor." Tong Xueyong said directly, "That child saved Tingting. I can't watch him get sick and hungry."

“Brother Tong, can you explain it more clearly?” Dong Zhengguo asked in confusion.

 …

“Tingting was playing on the street and was almost hit by a car once. It was the child who pushed her and saved her,” Tong Xueyong said.

"That's it." Dong Zhengguo suddenly understood. After joining No. 76, he focused on studying the resumes of some of the top officers in the secret service headquarters, including Tong Xueyong, who was highly admired by Li Cuiqun.

This person was the second-in-command at Nanshi Traffic Station of the Red Party before he defected to the Japanese.

After being captured by the Japanese, Tong Xueyong was tortured for many days and refused to say a single word. He was considered a man.

 Later, the Japanese threatened Tong Xueyong's daughter, and he surrendered.

Having fought with the Red Party for a long time, Dong Zhengguo knew these Red Party members very well. Although there were some who surrendered after being captured, they were greedy for life and feared death. However, there were many hard bones. These hard bones were loyal and fanatical to their so-called Bolshevik beliefs. People are shocked.

 The fact that a veteran red party member like Tong Xueyong could betray the faith he insisted on for the sake of his daughter shows that there is nothing more important and precious in this person's heart than his daughter Tingting.

If the boy from Fangyun Daily Grocery Store really saved Tingting, with Tong Xueyong’s temperament, he would definitely repay the favor.

 …

“Team Leader Tong never thought that this would sabotage our operation?” Tang Wenlao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"I am from the Red Party, and I understand the Red Party. If Shopkeeper Shan is really a Red Party," Tong Xueyong said, "Unless you arrest him directly, gag your mouth, and tie your hands and feet, otherwise, you will be treated in a friendly manner like this." , when he left the grocery store, he must have sent a warning signal, so there is no use staring at the grocery store."

Tong Xueyong flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said calmly, "As for that child, a child of seven or eight years old cannot be a Red Party member."

He looked at Dong Zhengguo, "Brother Dong has been fighting with the Red Party for many years, and he knows the cunningness of the Red Party best. Children are the easiest to show off. The Red Party is so careful, there is absolutely no problem with the child itself."

Dong Zhengguo nodded. It is true that Lao He from the Hangzhou Station of the Party Affairs Investigation Department had discovered clues about important personnel of the Red Party based on just a few words from a child. Unfortunately, he did not know why the information was leaked, so that this happened. The Red Party fled early.

There are several similar incidents, and the Red Party was caught because of children accidentally showing off their flaws. The Red Party is very good at summarizing experiences and lessons. If Fangyun Daily Grocery Store is really the Red Party’s secret transportation station, they will You must be very careful not to let this child come into contact with any secrets.

 So, that kid is most likely just an ordinary boy.

 “What if Fangyun General Store is from the military command?” Tang Kanlao asked.

"The possibility is slim." Tong Xueyong shook his head, "Boss Shan opened a store on Jisi Feier Road more than a year ago, and the military commander does not have such patience."

He smiled and said, "Moreover, if Boss Shan is really the military commander, I guess the military commander Shanghai Station would have arranged for a group of people to hide in the grocery store..."

He said to Dong Zhengguo, "Compared to a station monitoring No. 76, arranging a group of people to suddenly attack and kill Director Ding and Deputy Director Li, isn't this a great achievement?"

Dong Zhengguo and Tang Kanlao looked at each other and both nodded.

Based on their understanding of military command, Tong Xueyong’s plan is in line with military command’s style of conduct.

 Compared to surveillance and lurking on the intelligence front, military commanders are more interested in assassinations.

Apart from anything else, even if one were to analyze the psychology of Dong Zhengguo, a former ace agent of the Suhu District of the Central Government, the 'First Officer', he just thought about it. If Fangyun Daily Grocery Store was the stronghold of the Central Government, facing the previous Dong Zhengguo could not refuse the huge temptation to attack Dingmu Tun and Li Cuiqun from this stronghold.

 …

"This shopkeeper Shan is either a red party member, or..." Dong Zhengguo said thoughtfully, "or he is just an unlucky guy."

As he spoke, he looked at Shan Fangyun who was hanging on the pillar, "Shopkeeper Shan, are you an unlucky guy or a red party member?"

Shan Fangyun's skin and flesh were torn apart, his head was hanging down, blood was dripping from his face and the corners of his mouth. His whole body was wilted, and he seemed to be dying at any moment.

Shan Fangyun opened her mouth and seemed to say something.

 Tong Xueyong walked to Shan Fangyun's side and wanted to lean in to listen.

Tang Kanlao immediately approached quietly.

Dong Zhengguo saw the soup stir-fry and smiled but did not follow.

 “Water.” Shan Fangyun said ‘water’.

 “There’s no water.” Tang Kanlao smiled, “Would you like chili water?”

Tong Xueyong shook his head. He walked directly to the water tank, scooped up a ladle of water, and brought it to Shan Fangyun's mouth.

 “Drink,” he said.

Tang Kanlao frowned and stared at the water ladle, as if he was thinking about whether to grab it.

Dong Zhengguo came over at this time. He shook his head at Tang Kanlao, and then watched with interest as Tong Xueyong fed Shan Fangyun water.

"If he is a red party member, a die-hard member, he will not speak out of thirst." Tong Xueyong explained to the two of them, "If he is not a die-hard member, or just an unlucky person, we should also express goodwill."

 …

Shan Fangyun drank several large gulps of water, and then he seemed to be a little more alive. Just when he heard Tong Xue chanting these words, he immediately burst into tears.

"Sir, sir, I'm really not a red party member. I'm just a small businessman." Shan Fangyun cried with tears mixed with blood flowing down her face. She bared her teeth and said, "Sir, I was wronged."

 Tong Xueyong stared at Shan Fangyun who was crying bitterly.

 Staring at the **** head.

 He nodded to Dong Zhengguo, "Continue to torture."

As he spoke, he took a puff from his cigarette and slowly exhaled a long stream of smoke, "If he is not a die-hard Red Party member, I guess the heat is about to come."

 …

Cheng Qianfan took out a pair of small tweezers from the drawer and carefully took out the note from the mung bean cake.

First place two pieces of report paper on the table, then place the note on the report paper and spread it out flat.

It clearly says:

Danger! Evacuate quickly!

 At this moment, Cheng Qianfan's scalp felt numb.

 His first reaction was that he had been exposed!

 This is an organizational warning.

He didn’t know whether Gu Xinxue was a comrade in the party.

However, through previous contacts with Gu Xinrui, he highly suspected that Gu Xinrui was a comrade of our party.

 So, if this note is really a warning to the organization, it would make sense.

However, the next second, Cheng Qianfan calmed down.

impossible.

This note is definitely not from the organization, let alone a warning from the organization.

reason?

The only people within the Shanghai party organization who knew about the special party branch in the French Concession were Comrade Dandelion and Comrade Wang Jun, and Comrade Baozu Gong and Comrade Fang Jinghua.

Comrade Wang Jun among them has been evacuated urgently.

 Comrade Yu Fang Jinghua is the only insider.

However, considering Comrade Fang Jinghua’s identity, if Comrade Fang Jinghua was arrested or even sentenced for betraying the Red Army, then the entire Shanghai beach would have been filled with blood at this moment.

Furthermore, if Fang Jinghua betrays the organization, if he surrenders the ‘flame’, he will also surrender the ‘piano’ and ‘flying fish’.

Taking the central patrol room as an example, if the enemy wants to capture Cheng Qianfan, the first thing they have to do is to control Lao Huang!

Cheng Qianfan glanced at the courtyard through the window. Lao Huang was sitting on a chair at the door of the medical room, smoking a cigarette pipe comfortably.

This ‘old guy’ is now obsessed with smoking pipes.

 So, Cheng Qianfan highly doubted that there was something wrong with this note.

 It is even very likely to come from the enemy's temptation.

 …

Cheng Qianfan suddenly thought of something:

 He ​​just told the little monkey that Gu Xinxue is more sensible than before and even knows how to send someone to deliver his favorite Shen Dacheng pastries.

At the time, I didn’t think there was anything wrong. Now that I had doubts, Cheng Qianfan thought about it carefully, and sure enough, the more he thought about it, the more he felt there was something wrong.

With Gu Xinxue’s temperament, would this girl really think of arranging for someone to deliver pastries after leaving?

 Cheng Qianfan shook his head.

Based on his understanding of Gu Xinxue, even if this girl had really 'improved', if she had thought in advance that she should bring a gift, she would proudly carry the cakes to show off from the beginning.

If he suddenly thought of giving a gift after leaving the patrol room, it would be extremely unlikely for Gu Xinxue to arrange for someone to send cakes, or even if Gu Xinxue wanted to do so, it would be too late -

Shen Dacheng's pastry shop is quite far away from the central patrol room, and there is no time at all.

 So, there is only one possibility for the pastries to be sent by Gu Xinxue, and that is to bring the pastries from the beginning and hand them to him as soon as they meet!

Moreover, based on his understanding of Gu Xinxue, the possibility of this girl coming with cakes was not high.

 Confirmed, this box of cakes has nothing to do with Gu Xinxue.

 …

 Cheng Qianfan took a deep drag on his cigarette.

 He thought about it carefully and basically ruled out the possibility that the problem was caused by the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team of the Military Command.

 In order to ensure the safety of Team Leader ‘Xiao Mian’, ordinary Shanghai Special Situation Team members cannot see Team Leader Xiao.

Some important officers had only seen Xiao Mian's appearance and did not know that team leader Xiao Mian was actually the famous "Mr. Xiao Cheng" in the French Concession.

The only people who knew that Cheng Qianfan was the leader of "Xiao Mian" were Hao Zai, Tao Zi, Li Hao, Zhou Ru and others.

 If something happens to any one of these people, the others will notice the clues and warn him.

Then the person who warned was definitely one of Tao Zi, Hao Zai and others, and even if they warned, they would definitely trigger Cheng Qianfan's secret warning setting:

 The warning note will have a secret mark on it to prove your identity.

Haozi met in the morning, and Haozi was in the patrol room.

 After Taozi passed through Xijilaihuoxing Street, he was ordered to hibernate temporarily.

 Zhou Ru?

 Cheng Qianfan had a phone call with his home before, and Zhou Ru was helping Young Master Zhima make porridge in the Cheng Mansion...

Furthermore, if his subordinates find that something is wrong, it is the stupidest way to warn him by sending cakes, and the subordinates will not send cakes under the guise of Gu Xinxue.

 So, something happened to the military commander, and the possibility of someone under his command to warn him is extremely slim.

 …

In addition, he had suspected that his comrades had discovered his identity, knew that he had been exposed, and deliberately sent cakes in the name of Gu Xinxue as a warning.

 However, this hypothesis was directly rejected by him.

 The reason is still the same. Unless something happens to Fang Jinghua and he speaks out, he cannot be exposed.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, something happened within the French Concession Special Party Group, and other people were arrested.

Chau Li?

Cheng Qianfan shook his head. Shuli Zhao was in the office building at this moment. He just saw Shuli Zhao wandering upstairs.

 Lu Dazhang?

 Zhang Ping?

Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly. One of these two people was at the clothing store on Xiafei Road, and the other was at the patrol room in Xiafei District. If something really happened...

 It’s not that Cheng Qianfan has no confidence in comrades such as Zhao Shuli and Lu Dazhang. When situations arise, he doubts everything. This is his loyalty to the Red Faith and his trust in comrades:

 Stay vigilant and stay alive is the most worthy of your revolutionary comrades!

Resolutely trust your comrades in your heart, but don't be careless in your actions!

  Let nothing be left to chance, this is the lesson of blood and fire.

Cheng Qianfan subconsciously walked to the phone on his desk. He wanted to call the patrol room of Xiafei District.

No matter who of the two is involved in an accident, they will be able to detect the reaction from the police station in Jiafei District.

Just as he walked back to the desk, sat down on the chair, leaned forward, raised his right hand, and was about to touch the phone, ready to pick up the phone and ask for the phone, his movements stopped.

 …

 The second floor of a hotel not far from No. 22 Xue Huali Road.

"Have the arrangements been made at the telegraph office?" Su Chende turned to ask the man next to him.

 One of the man's ears was intact, while the other was only half-stretched. He nodded, "Don't worry, there's someone at the telegraph office."
