Chapter 268: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
At the same time, in a private house in Dong'an Lane, the pale-faced Li Guosheng was sending a telegram skillfully.
He didn't expect the two pieces of information in the small waterproof bag.
One was about the code of the Japanese radio station, and the other was actually about the information about the peace talks in Nanjing and the Northwest.
This is very important for organizations.
Li Guosheng held an unlit cigarette in his mouth, looking at the intelligence intently and passing it on bit by bit in his own way.
If you look closely at the bony fingers, you can see a little bit of blood...
Listening to the ticking sound of the radio, his mind fell into a rare state of calm.
But the swaying cigarette in his mouth showed that he was not at peace.
Since the big shop search a few years ago, Gu Zili's betrayal, Liu Panpan's betrayal, various internal changes, and the emergence of the traitor Feng Asi, the underground special forces that made the enemy hate and fear came to a tragic end.
Last spring, I saw with my own eyes my comrades being shot in Nanjing after being pointed out by a traitor.
The only ones left of the once legendary Special Operations Group 3 were him, who had just joined, and Qiu Chan, who was lurking within the enemy.
Today he saw in the newspaper the emergency contact signal sent by the autumn cicadas, which had been silent for a year and four months.
He knew that something big had happened.
When the two met in a private room of the teahouse, they just observed out of habit and discovered a former traitor from the Special Operations Group among the waiters.
He suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and when the waiter left, he dipped the tea in water and quickly wrote a name.
Their eyes met and a brief silence became inevitable.
The information about cracking the enemy's telephone password is in Qiu Chan's belly, and Qiu Chan must be alive.
But he is Qiu Chan's superior and also the radio operator. If something happens to him, the information cannot be transmitted.
The two could only turn their eyes to the bustling Henry Hotel opposite the teahouse.
When I passed by the hotel in a rickshaw before, the rickshaw driver said that the wedding inside was held by a Chinese inspector of the International Settlement, who married a foreign woman.
Although the Japanese are arrogant, they are relatively restrained in the International Settlement. If they enter the hotel, they still have a chance of survival.
The two men had undergone rigorous training in the Special Operations Department and escaped before the enemy discovered them and successfully entered the Henry Hotel.
But they had never anticipated that there would be so many people coming to hunt them down, and they had never imagined that the Japanese would dare to open fire in the International Settlement.
Fortunately, this Chinese inspector was not too cowardly and quickly controlled the Japanese.
But just when the two were about to change their appearance and go out, they discovered that all the entrances and exits in the hotel were filled with disguised Japanese spies.
The two had no choice but to go back to the bathroom again. They dared not make any sound and communicated by typing Morse code with their hands.
There was no excuses, no hesitation, and the plan was quickly finalized.
Qiu Chan bit the handkerchief he handed over, pointed the knife in her hand at her stomach and slashed it hard, and the bathroom door that had been closed was pushed open.
A handsome young man appeared in front of them. When he saw the scene, he calmly closed the bathroom door.
At first he thought the boy was frightened silly, but now he thinks he was wrong.
------------
At the gate of the police station in the International Settlement, Wang Sanqiang looked at Lu Pingsheng, whose face was bruised and swollen, with a look of guilt on his face.
"Brother Lu, it's all my fault. I will come to your house and apologize in person later."
Lu Pingsheng, whose clothes were wrinkled, waved his hands and wanted to say something, but the wound at the corner of his mouth was pulled and he let out a dry "hiss".
After Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao got on the car arranged by Wang Sanqiang, he stood outside the car window, squinting his eyes and smiled:
"Brother Lu, Brother Wei, there are too many things to do in the bureau, so I won't send you off..."
Wei Miao said in a loud voice: "Brother Wang, go and get busy."
The car drove to Juhuali Lane and stopped.
Fortunately, it was late at night and there was no one in the alley, so no one saw the handsome Mr. Lu's miserable appearance.
As soon as the two entered the yard, Ali jumped down from the tree and meowed.
Although Lu Pingsheng knew that no one would break into the house with Ah Miao at home, he still checked the things he left when he left.
By the time Wei Miao finished the examination, he was already yawning.
I looked at the time. It was eleven o'clock in the evening. At this time in the past, I would have been fast asleep.
Lu Pingsheng pulled her into the study, checked everywhere, and then raised his chin slightly, "Go ahead."
Wei Miao had tears in her eyes because she was too sleepy, and she said blankly:
"say what?"
Lu Pingsheng's expression was serious. "Ah Miao, I'm not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business."
Wei Miao didn't look at Lu Pingsheng's face, for she was afraid that she would laugh out loud.
Seeing her evasive look, Lu Pingsheng became more certain of his opinion.
"Ah Miao, did you save that person?"
Wei Miao nodded. Didn’t Brother Lu already know about it? Why was he asking even though he already knew the answer?
"How were they rescued? Who are they? Where are they now?"
Lu Pingsheng's voice rose slightly, so much so that he forgot the wound at the corner of his mouth, which was torn and blood was oozing out.
Wei Miao shook her head and honestly described the scene she saw:
"When I went in, I saw a big man biting something in his mouth and cutting open his belly with a knife."
She has always been sensitive, but people have urgent needs, and there are two people peeing in the toilet outside, so she just wanted to push open the door and get it over with quickly.
Who would have thought that such a bloody scene could be seen in a small bathroom.
The person in cheongsam shed silent tears, the man who was biting something had sweat on his forehead, and he continued to use force without hesitation while holding the knife.
When she was chatting with Kudo Taro, she heard him talk about the Japanese Bushido spirit.
Her first reaction was that this person was going to perform this kind of ritual.
Kudo Taro said that this ritual was very sacred and that one must not make any sound when committing seppuku, otherwise one would be considered a coward who could not endure the pain.
Wei Miao's process of committing suicide by seppuku was very slow. It was an extremely cruel thing to let people die in slow pain. Anyone who made this choice was either an extreme believer or a lunatic.
Now that such a bloody thing was happening before her eyes, she felt that she had disrupted someone else's sacred ceremony.
Her reaction was not to run away, but to calmly close the bathroom door.
The person in cheongsam reacted quickly and covered her mouth with the knife in one go.
As soon as that person opened his mouth to speak, Wei Miao knew that this "woman" was a man.
The two communicated unscrupulously in Morse code in front of her.
"She's just an innocent child." The man with bleeding stomach pointed his finger.
"But the intelligence this time is too important. If she survives, thousands and thousands of people will die. If there is a problem with the leadership of the two sides in the anti-Japanese talks, the nation will be in danger..."
The cheongsam man who covered her mouth disagreed. He would not let his comrades sacrifice in vain, not even the slightest risk of exposure.
Wei Miao burped at an inopportune time. Was he going to kill her?
"and then?"
Lu Pingsheng suddenly stood up and put his pig-like face in front of Wei Miao, interrupting what Wei Miao was about to say.
"Brother Lu, you are injured. Sit down and drink some water. I will talk to you slowly."
