Chapter 135 Train Cafe Theater
Ma Xiwen changed into a clean robe and mandarin jacket.
These are new clothes that his wife Xu Mengyun personally made for him last year, and he is usually reluctant to wear them.
Looking at this city where he has lived for several years, Ma Xiwen's nose felt a little sour. Goodbye, Hangzhou, goodbye, Meng Yun.
"Let's go, sister." When Mahiwen spoke to the mother and son beside him, he bent down and picked up Douzai, who was already asleep.
Yes, the organization arranged for Sanni and her children to leave Hangzhou with Ma Xiwen.
‘Butterfly Flower’ is a key target of enemy agents.
Sanni and her child are also being searched by the Party Affairs Investigation Office.
For safety reasons, we arranged for the two adults and one child to go to Shanghai together. The two adults and one child can pretend to be a family, which is also convenient for cover.
The organization is very poor. If Ma Xiwen had not received the reward from Cheng Qianfan before, it would be difficult to raise the fare for the train.
I bought a third-class ticket.
The carriage was crowded. Ma Xiwen held the child with one hand and tried his best to protect Sanni with his not-so-strong body, and finally squeezed into the carriage.
The carriage was filled with the strong smell of dry smoke, stinky feet, chicken excrement, and sour head oil.
Screaming, noisy, the sound of eating, farting, and the sound of a child having diarrhea, all gathered together and filled the eardrums.
Not long after we started the train, a child was crying incessantly. The mother scolded the child. When the child cried even more, the mother beat him, causing the child to cry loudly.
The mother had no choice but to take out half a piece of steamed bun from her clothes. The child stopped crying. It was because he was extremely hungry.
The child took a bite, then looked at the half piece of black-faced steamed bun in his hand, hesitated for a while, and then handed it to his mother's mouth.
The mother's teeth touched the steamed bun lightly, indicating that she had eaten it. Looking at the child's red face from being beaten by her, the mother turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Mahiwen looked at all this, his eyes were a little moist. The poor and backward people in China have been struggling with hunger and cold for a long time. This is the reason why they need to stand up and fight, even willing to sacrifice their lives!
He lowered his head and looked at Douzai, who was sleeping soundly. Looking at the child who had lost his father, tenderness surged in his heart:
If Meng Yun had not sacrificed, she would have also liked Douzai. Douzai looked very much like his and Meng Yun's child.
“My brother Muge is seven years older than Douzai. If he grows this big, he will be half a boy.” Ma Xiwen said.
Beside her, Sanni didn't answer. She was in a daze. She didn't dare to close her eyes. As soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of her husband Meng Qiang and the lonely grave on the outskirts of Hangzhou.
…
Diagonally opposite the north side of the application hall building is a cafe.
Because it is close to the declaration office building, the business of this cafe is usually pretty good. Although most editors and workers cannot afford coffee, some reporters who pursue Western life, and even celebrities and small-time socialites who come here to be interviewed But I prefer this cafe with a more fashionable decoration.
The second floor of the cafe, a small private room by the window.
Wang Kangnian held the newspaper in his hand, but his eyes did not leave the main entrance of the declaration office building.
At the same time, his mind was running, digesting, and analyzing a lot of information very quickly.
Fang Muheng was released from the patrol room earlier, and Wang Kangnian said that the "bait" was released.
This ‘bait’ refers to Zhuang Ze.
And things developed just as he predicted. Fang Muheng shouted for "Zhuang Ze", and the red party was really fooled, and finally rescued Zhuang Ze, whose pseudonym was "Zhu Yuan".
At that time, Wang Kangnian was extremely excited. He felt that he was very close to wiping out all the top leaders of the Red Party’s Shanghai underground organization.
However, they never expected that the Shanghai Red Party would actually get the news from the Manchuria Red Party that "Zhuang Ze" had rebelled and defected to the Japanese, and eventually executed Zhuang Ze.
This result made Wang Kangnian furious.
The reason for his anger is that he is only one step away from capturing the top leaders of the Shanghai Red Party, and he is about to succeed!
In addition, Zhuang Ze actually surrendered to the Japanese?
Wang Kangnian interrogated Zhuang Ze personally, but Zhuang Ze did not explain the matter, which made Wang Kangnian somewhat frustrated.
Of course, Wang Kangnian did not completely believe the news revealed by the Red Party - there is another possibility, that is, Zhuang Ze did not surrender to the Japanese, and this was news deliberately released by the Shanghai Red Party.
Why was such a smoke bomb deliberately released?
The most likely reason is that the Red Party is trying to cover up.
What to cover up?
Has the Red Party found out that Zhuang Ze has joined the Party Affairs Investigation Office?
Is this the reason why they executed Zhuang Ze?
This is exactly the purpose of their cover-up - to cover up this intelligence source?
If this is the case, what does this mean?
It shows that there are undercover agents of the Red Party within the Party Affairs Investigation Department!
He is a character who is accustomed to speculate with the greatest malice and conspiracy theories.
Although there was no evidence to prove this speculation, Wang Kangnian began to observe the inside of the Party Affairs Investigation Department without leaving a trace to find out whether there were indeed undercover agents of the Red Party.
He is not in a hurry.
He believed that no fox, no matter how cunning, could escape the gun of a good hunter.
Just as he was very patient with Fang Muheng, the ‘bait’.
…
Yes, the original ‘Zhuang Ze’ was the bait.
There is another bait:
Fang Muheng himself is also a bait.
Wang Kangnian has conducted in-depth research on the Red Party’s characteristics of “contempting people’s hearts” and developing its power. So-called patriotic and passionate young people like Fang Muheng can be said to be exactly what the Red Party likes.
In addition, Fang Muheng is a student who has returned from overseas. He comes from a prosperous family and has a certain background: he is educated, passionate, has a good family background, and has a clean net worth.
Such a passionate young man is of higher value.
He believes that the Red Party will not "let go" of Fang Muheng, a high-quality stock.
Therefore, Wang Kangnian secretly arranged for a subordinate to keep an eye on Fang Muheng.
More than a month has passed and there has been no progress.
However, Wang Kangnian was not in a hurry.
Detecting red parties is a tedious job that requires patience as well as luck.
Wang Kangnian is not short of patience. He believes that as long as he can endure the boredom and exhaustion, good luck will favor him - no one can withstand such a long-term follow-up investigation. As long as there are problems, sooner or later the fault will be exposed.
As expected, early this morning, the men who had been following Fang Muheng sent urgent information:
This subordinate overheard some important information.
Wang Kangnian was extremely surprised that the two patrolmen He Guan and Liu Bo dared to kill the Japanese. Apart from being surprised, he was also somewhat impressed.
In addition, he is now concerned about the personal behavior of He Guan and Liu Bo.
Or is there some background hidden behind these two people? Is it the Red Party? Or some other identity?
Furthermore, Fang Muheng claimed that he knew who killed the traitor Lao Mo, which immediately aroused Wang Kangnian's greater alarm, and could even be said to be extremely exciting.
Lao Mo was not killed by the government’s secret service:
The Party Investigation Office did not take action. In addition, as far as Wang Kangnian knew, the Secret Service did not take action against Lao Mo. Neither the Party Investigation Office nor the Secret Service would take action against the patrol. This was a tacit understanding between them and the French Concession authorities. .
Of course, if this patrol is involved in crime, that would be a different matter.
Since the government did not do it, the biggest suspect in killing Lao Mo is the Red Party.
Wang Kangnian was overjoyed that Fang Muheng's bait finally caught a big fish.
What he most urgently wants to know now is who Fang Muheng had contact with today, what he did, and what was suspicious about him.
Now, he is waiting.
Waiting for the Party Affairs Investigation Office to arrange the internal line at the declaration office to report the situation.
…
French Concession, Betain District, Xiaku Lane.
This is a theater building. On the gate tower are the four characters "Everyone is celebrating".
Even though it was already evening, the bright incandescent lights illuminated the theater as if it were daytime.
The gongs and drums were ringing, and Mu Guiying and Yang Zongbao were fighting on the stage. People watched in fascination.
An extremely upright young man came from a distance. This man was wearing a white shirt, a navy blue vest, straight trousers and a tie.
Hold the gun holster on one shoulder. As he stepped forward, the gun holster hung down and swayed listlessly.
There was a cigarette in his mouth, but it was not lit.
There were citizens who saw him along the way, some avoided him, and some quickly said hello, "Police Officer Cheng, hello." ’
Police Officer Cheng nodded slightly without comment.
There were still more than ten steps away from the theater, Cheng Qianfan stopped, took out the lighter he got from Peter, started the fire with a click, lit the cigarette, took a puff, blew out the smoke ring, and squinted his eyes to watch Theater.
