The secret war is silent

Along the Jialing River, there are boats like clouds, and pedestrians are hurrying along the shore. People traveling from south to north have the word "tired" written on their faces.

Numb, emotionless.

This is a portrayal of the life of the people at the lowest level in the mountain city.

The river was flowing fast, and the sky was getting dark, and an autumn rain would soon come unexpectedly.

In order to prevent the goods from getting wet and causing losses, the workers working on the dock were trying their best to speed up. Besides shouting, the only sound on the dock was the workers shouting slogans.

beep……

A whistle sounded from far away, and a steamer came upstream from the east. It could be seen that there were many people standing on the deck of the ship, men and women, all of them were well-dressed, and they were all rich people.

The ship was called Taiping, and it was said that it came from Shanghai.

Why it could pass through the Japanese blockade of the Yangtze River and enter Bashu safely is something that ordinary people cannot understand.

At least, China and Japan have fought like this. Most of their territory has been lost, and the government has not officially declared war on Japan. Isn't it strange?

That's how politics is, it's different from ordinary people's grudges.

These days, nothing strange happens. Even if you say that the iron tree is blooming, some people will believe it and tell you something.

A group of people wearing suits and ties gathered on the pier, many with foreign faces, and cameras hanging under their necks, looking forward to it.

The steamer gradually approached the pier, and some policemen in black uniforms appeared on the pier. They were not equipped with guns, but they had batons in their hands, and they dispersed the people and formed a passage.

The ship finally docked.

The crowd on the deck began to move. Men and women were holding up their hands to salute and prepare to disembark. The spotlights on the shore were flashing continuously.

People on the boat came ashore one after another.

Among the people who came ashore, a beautiful apricot-yellow figure slowly walked onto the pier dragging a heavy box. Su Ying'er, a little movie star from Jinghai, was invited to the mountain city to shoot a movie.

"Ying'er, Ying'er..." On the shore, an artistic young man wearing a peaked cap and canvas suspenders held up a sign.

Su Ying'er, who was wearing an apricot-yellow low-cut dress, was carrying a large leather suitcase alone. Following the flow of people ashore, she finally set foot on Chaotianmen Pier.

"Ying'er, you're finally here." The young man wearing a peaked cap was walking through the crowd holding a sign, shouting loudly as he walked.

Looking at the young man who came to pick her up, Su Ying'er showed a sweet smile, took out her handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from the young man's forehead.

Click!

This tender action was quickly captured by a photographer.

This photo titled "Lovers Reunion" was soon published in a pictorial in Shancheng, and the name Su Ying'er suddenly became a household name in Shancheng.

A little star from Jinghai, who has participated in the filming of several movies, can only be said to be a little famous, with young acting skills and limited resources.

But because of a photo, she suddenly became a small character, which was unexpected.

Sometimes people's fate is so wonderful.

…

"Brother Yao, will you accompany me to a movie tomorrow weekend?"

"I won't go to the movies." Luo Yao doesn't have the leisure to go to the movies now, he's too busy with work.

"I bought all the movie tickets." Gong Hui waved the two movie tickets in front of Luo Yao and said, "The movie will be very good tomorrow, but it is difficult to buy tickets."

"Otherwise, would you like Jiang Xiaoyu to accompany you?"

"What does it mean that she went to the movies with me?" Gong Hui said dissatisfied, "Calculate for yourself, how long has it been since you went shopping and watched a movie with me?"

"Well, as far as our relationship is concerned, there seems to be no obligation, right?"

"What about before?"

"It used to be for work."

"Anyway, I gave you the movie tickets. Do you want to go or not?" Gong Hui angrily put the movie tickets on Luo Yao's table and went out angrily.

Luo Yao shook his head helplessly and continued working.

Dong Dong...

"Please come in."

"You Ning, let's have dinner together tonight. I've made arrangements and asked Xiaohui to come with us." Shen Yu opened the door and came in from the outside. He is a frequent visitor to the "veterinary station". Everyone knows about his relationship with Luo Yao, unless specifically told. , under normal circumstances, no one stops it.

"Brother Six, why are you suddenly inviting us to dinner?"

"It's just to get together occasionally to increase our relationship." Shen Yu said, "By the way, that George Kevin confessed some things again. I don't know if it will be helpful to the 'White Fox' case. I brought you the transcript. Take a look."

"Oh, okay." Luo Yao buried his head in calculations, the work at hand was more important.

"The movie tickets at Cathay Cinema are for 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. "The Wizard of Oz". I heard it's a pretty good movie. Can it be seen in the mountain city?" Shen Yu said in surprise when he saw the two movie tickets on the table.

"If Brother Six likes it, take it to see it. There are just two tickets. You and my sister-in-law can go together." Luo Yao said nonchalantly. He wouldn't go to see it anyway.

"Really, I was still worried about where to take your sister-in-law to go tomorrow weekend. Now, with these two movie tickets, I don't have to worry about it anymore." Shen Yu happily put the two movie tickets into his pocket.

"Well, you should read the transcript first. If you find anything, remember to tell me." Shen Yu was afraid that Luo Yao would regret it, "In the evening, remember to eat."

Luo Yao nodded and wanted to have a meal.

After calculating the work in hand, Luo Yao remembered the George Kevin's transcript that Shen Yu had brought over, picked it up and looked through it.

Most of them were of little value, but one of them made Luo Yao's eyes linger on it. George Kevin mentioned one. It was indeed him who arranged Xu Zhen's trip to Hong Kong, but the one behind it was "Viper".

"Viper" knew that the Wang family was not in Hong Kong, so why did he let George Kevin deceive Xu Zhen and let her go to Hong Kong? This doesn't make sense?

Unless Xu Zhen went to Hong Kong for another purpose.

It seems that I have to go to the Little Black Coal Mine again and ask "Viper" myself, otherwise the mystery inside will not be solved.

"Xiao Wu, fill up my car with gas. I have to go out tomorrow." Luo Yao thought for a moment, called his secretary Xiao Wu in and gave instructions.

"Okay, stationmaster."

…

After the new rain in the empty mountains, the air is particularly fresh, but the mountain road is not easy to walk and is easy to slip. After an autumn rain, the temperature dropped a bit.

Especially the temperature in the mountains is much cooler than in the city. Luo Yao drove into the mountains early in the morning.

one person.

Xiaohei Coal Kiln Prison is a secret prison of the military commander, and not just anyone can pass there.

Last time, he brought some food. This time, Luo Yao brought some daily necessities, which were imported from abroad and could not be bought by ordinary people outside.

Liu Cheng and Song Miao warmly received them.

The third time I saw "Viper" Takahashi Toshio, he seemed to be more than ten years older, looking like he was in his twilight years.

"After Chief Luo came last time, this guy fell ill and had a high fever for three days. Fortunately, he was found early and we gave him medicine to save him." Liu Cheng whispered in Luo Yao's ear. .

"Is your brain burned out?" Luo Yao was shocked. If his brain was burned out, he might not be able to ask any questions this time.

"Probably not. After he recovered, except for sitting alone in the cell in a daze, everything else was normal." Liu Cheng said.

"Okay, I get it."

"Then you ask, how many dishes should I ask the cook to prepare for dinner at our place today?" Liu Cheng nodded and asked.

"Okay, then I won't bother Warden Liu." Luo Yao agreed and came a few times. Every time he was invited warmly, he couldn't refuse to give him face every time.

"Viper, this is not the first time we have met. If you have any questions, I will ask directly." Facing Takahashi Toshio, Luo Yao said directly, "Do you know Miss Xu Zhenxu from Germania Building?"

Takahashi Toshio nodded: "I know."

"Xu Zhen went to Hong Kong in March this year. You arranged it through George Kevin, right?" Luo Yao continued to ask.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I made the arrangement after receiving instructions from the summit. As for why, I don't know." Takahashi Toshio shook his head and replied.

"General Staff Headquarters Part 2?"

"No, it's Colonel Takeo Imai, Intelligence Division, General Staff Department, Dispatch Force Headquarters." Takahashi Toshio said.

"What else do you know about Xu Zhen?" Luo Yao decided to ask freely.

"I don't know much. I only know that she is Wang's adopted lover. He goes to the German Mansion very rarely, but the living expenses he gives are not low each time. Xu Zhen's life is the woman who lives in the German Mansion. She is also one of the best among them. She is a very attractive woman and can talk to Wang. She is different from the kind of women who entertain people with sex." Takahashi Toshio recalled.

"It seems you don't have a low opinion of her?"

"I met her once under the recommendation of George Kevin. Her temperament and conversation left a deep impression on me." Takahashi Toshio said.

"You should know that the Wang family was not in Hong Kong at the time, but in Hanoi. You have no doubt. Why would Takeo Imai send you such a telegram to arrange for a woman who doesn't want to go to Hong Kong?" Luo Yao asked.

Takahashi Toshio hesitated and said: "According to what I learned later, His Excellency Takeo Imai was in Hong Kong at the time."

"oh?"

"Sir, that's all I know." Takahashi Toshio said.

"'Tong' job, right? This is your internal code name?" Luo Yao decided to take the risk to spy and revealed the code name of "Tong job".

In fact, the "Tong work" was only declassified later, and it is now absolutely highly confidential within the Japanese army. Except for those involved, no outsiders know about it.

Takahashi Toshio's body trembled uncontrollably. It was obvious that he did not expect that Luo Yao would know such confidential information within them.

This work is still being prepared. Imai Takeo has not yet found a suitable opportunity and candidate. Luo Yao is actually using deception.

Xu Zhen should not be involved in such a confidential operation. It is impossible for the Japanese to trust a Chinese, and she is also a promiscuous woman.

But the Japanese side is probably looking for a suitable person to communicate with. This is the most important thing. If you choose the wrong person, all the previous efforts may be wasted.

Note: The Tong work started in November 1939, but the preliminary preparation work was very long. After the Japanese army occupied Wuhan and Guangzhou, they have been seeking a channel to directly negotiate with the government. This was shelved because Ying Zuo planned the Wang family's escape. ( Yingzuo and Imai have huge differences on how to solve the China issue. Yingzuo supports Wang, but Imai feels that it is more direct to directly recruit and surrender Chiang Kai-shek. The two go their own ways and compete secretly.)
