In mid-April, an inexplicable hurricane swept across the entire Shanghai area, and the deployment of intelligence, including that of the Chinese and Eastern Japanese, was seen as a mess.First of all, the main line of China's love workers disobeyed orders, and the eyeliner who had penetrated into Dongri's interior lost contact. Before Jinchang Station could respond, the Special Investigation Department began to frantically arrest the city.In order to avoid the limelight, the intelligence network in Shangyong city was urgently closed, and the temporary main station in the mountains outside the city became half-blind. They could only rely on daily monitoring of Dongri's telegrams to speculate on the development of the whole situation from the side.

Not long after, there was commotion in the city. That night, two brigade groups from Linxian County from Dongri settled in, and the whole city of Shanglong was sealed off.At first, Jinchang Station was worried about the violent breakout of the action group, but later found that the radio waves in the East and Japan surged, and invited Xiakou cryptographers to decipher part of the ciphertext. The rest of the movement is unknown.In late April, Shangyao City returned to calm, and the Chinese intelligence network was not damaged. The tentacles protruding out reported that the Dongri garrison in the city had all been updated.

At the beginning of May, Liang Jiang got in touch with Fu Ling and told Lao Sheng and Tsing Yi An Hao, who had followed the order of the military to go north with the Hengdu Division.When Zhao Changgeng heard the news, he was already in Yuchuan, which was humid and rainy at the end of the month, and the headquarters dispatched orders not to delay. At that time, he still set off according to the schedule, leaving Shangyongcheng, where the turmoil had just begun and was full of longing.He even rushed on the road without sleep, just to detour Yaozhou, and asked with a little hope: "Is the kite here?" The answer he got was quite frank, no, it was the expected result.

Zhiyuan didn't retreat as planned that night, and after sending that last warning telegram, there has been no news since then.Half a month later, Liang Jiang ventured into the place where he last appeared. Except for the radio station that should have been found under the interlayer of the floor, there was no trace of him, as if the man had just evaporated from this world out of thin air.Finally, the situation was summarized as follows: on the night of the 23th, Zhiyuan used the evacuation channel to send away an unidentified person, and stayed alone in the city to issue a warning. The method directly triggered the subsequent riots of the [-]rd Brigade. The headquarters of the battalion ordered the nearby troops to control the situation. The rioting officer was executed that night, and the rest of the troops were sent to North China. The Hengdu Division was strictly restrained.

There was so little effective information that Jinchang Station could not even organize a reasonable conjecture to report to Yuchuan. However, it is conceivable that Zhiyuan's unauthorized actions must have a lot to do with the subsequent internal chaos in Dongri.However, no one knows exactly what happened. The war is tense, and the spy work in the enemy-occupied area has suffered repeated setbacks. Zhao Changgeng knows it shouldn't be, and the boss will not allow him. , Hastily contacted the insider who had just recovered from Dongri's internal espionage.

But Zhao Changgeng was not reconciled, he knew there was still a last way to try.What Jinchang Station handed over to Zhiyuan was not an ordinary ticket, it was stamped with the seal of the State Supervision Bureau, and the railway bureau knew that it was an activity of love workers who were ordered to do it, and it would prioritize the itinerary.At present, there are not enough tickets everywhere. Since someone left Shanglong through the channel of Zhiyuan, there should be records along the way, so you can always find this person and ask who he is and what Zhao Qiming told him at the end.

Zhao Changgeng found it, and that person was in Yaozhou, and now he moved westward to teach at the Union University jointly established by various schools.He stood at the school communication office, watching the man approaching from a distance, his heart slowly sank, like sinking into the bottom of a lake in nine cold days, the chill was piercing to the bones.It was an acquaintance, Chen Xu, and it could only be Chen Xu.Zhao Changgeng suddenly understood everything.At that time, Lao Sheng and Tsing Yi fell into the trap of spying by mistake, and someone had to take the risk of using the radio to send a message to notify the headquarters to respond immediately.At that time, Zhiyuan, who got the pass and ticket, clearly understood that Jinchang Station could not care about the lives of those teachers and students, so he made his own decision.

Zhao Changgeng became short of breath. He suppressed the irritability in his heart and asked the person, "Why did you hold the things from the State Supervision Bureau? What did Zhao Qiming tell you?" The answer was a blank face, Chen Xu Said: "He only gave me two things, and told me not to look and ask too much. I went to the west entrance of Wuli Lane on the evening of the [-]th, and someone arranged for me to go out of the city." Zhao Changgeng felt a ball of cotton stuck in his chest. Brother, in places he doesn't know, learns like a real love worker.He suddenly couldn't control the strong emotion in his heart, he grabbed Chen Xu by the collar and growled, "You fucking know what that is and dare to take it?"

Then, in the 26 years of his life, for the first time, Zhao Changgeng gave up all his reason and education, rampantly knocked down the guards at the main entrance of the United University, beat up famous scholars in public, and then revealed his identity as the State Supervision Bureau to the patrolling police who came. Prove it and walk away.He knew that Chen Xu was not to be blamed. He even thought that it would be good if his willfulness made a big fuss, and it was a good idea for Yuchuan to reassign him to the front line of espionage.However, nothing happened, not even a tofu-sized lump in the newspaper, just like no one knew what Zhao Qiming experienced in the end, whether he was alive or dead.

Zhao Changgeng worked in Yuchuan for seven years until he was promoted to the Minister of Telecommunications, almost on an equal footing with his boss.He is low-key, stable, and exquisite, except for one thing that he never forgets.He used various channels to inquire about the 27th year of Zhonghua Kennosuke Okamura and the special investigation team he led, inquired about the movements of the Dongri 23 Brigade, and even inquired about the whereabouts of the old students and Tsing Yi, but found nothing.Many people persuaded him, even rationally told him that it was impossible for Zhao Qiming to escape, he would be arrested, and then die under Dongri's brutal interrogation, like countless unlucky love workers.But at least in life you have to see people and in death you have to see corpses, don’t you?

In the 34th year of China, Dongri surrendered unconditionally.He listened to the sound broadcast over and over again on the radio, and the firecrackers and drums outside the window. The first thing he did was to finish all the chores at hand and drive to Shanglong by car.The handover of Shangyong Prison, which was once under the jurisdiction of Dongri, has been completed. The warden flipped through the thick Japanese name book and told him that there was never any record about that person, whether it was Shigeyoshi Hisakawa, Zhao Qiming or Zhiyuan.The prison executes many people every year, and their remains are buried in the execution ground in the suburbs of Shangyang. If they can be dug up now, the remains of that person can be identified.Zhao Changgeng looked at him and smiled calmly, saying how is it possible.

Zhao Changgeng even found the boss again and asked him the whereabouts of those Dongri people.However, the clues obtained still point to nothingness: Okamura Kennosuke has been escorted to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, Shigeru Kitai died in battle on the eve of the Japanese surrender, the old man committed suicide on the day the emperor issued the imperial edict, and even Tsing Yi boarded the ship back home .The boss's temples were already stained with hoarfrost. He looked at Zhao Changgeng, his gaze still sharp: "Lieutenant General Takeuchi of the Hengdu Division is still there. If you don't believe me, I can contact you. You can ask him yourself." Zhao Changgeng didn't speak, he After taking a last look at the land above, I got on the train back to Yuchuan that night.

In the summer of [-], the Sanmin faction regime fled to Liudao.Zhao Changgeng went to the airport to see his boss off. Amidst the hum of the plane engine behind him, the boss stared at him face to face with a solemn expression, as if he had watched the young Zhao Changgeng swear an oath many years ago.The boss asked him: "You really decided not to leave?" Zhao Changgeng knew what he meant.Just two days ago, two flying squads in Changhua revolted, occupied the airport, and directly sent a group of high-ranking officials to the north as gifts.Seeing that the Workers and Peasants regime is about to lead the entire mainland, he was once the Minister of Telecommunications in Yuchuan, and he will never die well if he stays.

Zhao Changgeng smiled, neither nodded nor shook his head: "Qiming is here." Then the boss understood that it was useless to say anything else.That was his brother who was connected by blood. As an elder brother, he wanted to find him no matter what, to see him alive, and to collect his bones with his own hands when he died.Zhao Changgeng watched the boss board the plane, the hem of the dark gray windbreaker slightly raised in the air current, he waved his hand, knowing that this might be the last meeting between the two of them in this life.He has respected this person, loved this person, and hated this person, but it is so strange that at such a time, there is nothing left in his heart, as calm as the surface of water without waves and dust.
