Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Safe

Thinking of Xu Congliang's exhortations, the sour monkey carefully pressed the lamp switch. The table lamp was turned on, and sour monkey's heart suddenly opened up—as the light came on, a splint slowly protruded from the side of the safe.The sour monkey ran over excitedly, only to see six buttons embedded in the splint! After walking a dozen steps, Xu Congliang met an "acquaintance"—the leader of the team was Hidezo Yoshimura, the vice-captain of the gendarmerie that he saw in the grove yesterday!Xu Congliang thought about it, took a plan, and hurried a few steps to come to Jicun.

"Oh, isn't this Captain Yoshimura? Are you on business?" He deliberately omitted the word "deputy" and added a smile on his face. When Yoshimura saw Xu Congliang and a team of policemen behind him, he was also taken aback, pointing to the wooden gang gathered in front of the consulate and asked Xu Congliang, "Are you here to deal with this matter?" Xu Congliang nodded and said, "Yes, I came here under the orders of Songze and Director Jin. What about you? You didn't come here for this, did you?" Xu Congliang guessed that Yoshimura Hidezo appeared suddenly, there could only be two situations: one is that Jin Ronggui did not fight for him with the Japanese at all, and the other is that the gendarmerie did not receive the order.In any case, just reporting the name of Jin Ronggui will definitely not work, so Xu Congliang threw out the name of Matsuzawa Enji.

Xu Congliang actually guessed wrong. Jin Ronggui did win conditions from Songze, and Songze also sent Kobayashi Jue to inform Gendarmerie Captain Masaichi Shimamoto.But the only thing he didn't expect was that Shimamoto was so worried about the spy agency headquarters' interference with him that he didn't inform the deputy captain Yoshimura Hidezo!As soon as the gunshots rang out from the consulate, Yoshimura Hidezo naturally rushed over with his troops. However, Xu Congliang's slanderous phrase "Matsuze Director" really confused Yoshimura.It is still possible to falsely pass on Jin Ronggui's order, but if it is falsely passed on the order of Chief Matsuzawa, then this person is purely crazy.Seeing Yoshimura Hidezou hesitantly stop, Xu Congliang knew he was more than half successful, so he followed up with a smile and said: "By the way, I forgot one more thing, about yesterday's case, I have some clues .”

Yoshimura Hidezo's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly asked, "What clue?" Xu Congliang first twitched himself, and then lowered his voice and said, "I suddenly thought, would the murderer be proficient in Japanese?" Yoshimura was taken aback, then understood instantly, and nodded repeatedly. Seeing this, Xu Congliang knew that Yoshimura's mind was no longer on the consulate's side, so he clasped his fists together and said, "Then I won't disturb Captain Yoshimura's official duties, and I have to take care of the consulate's affairs as soon as possible."

Yoshimura's mind is full of this clue now, after hearing what Xu Congliang finished speaking, he subconsciously waved at his subordinates: "Close the team!" Seeing the gendarmerie go far away, Xu Congliang smiled and walked into the consulate with his own troops. "What's wrong? What happened?" Xu Congliang looked around while shouting loudly.The Soviet-Russian consulate was in a mess. Apart from the muddy footprints on the originally clean marble floor, there were torn papers and pieces of broken porcelain. With a cigarette in his mouth, he wandered around the corridor cursing.

When Xu Congliang looked at him, a middle-aged man in a suit came straight to him angrily. Before the man reached his face, his roaring voice rushed into Xu Congliang's ears: "Do you have any laws in Manchuria? No rules?" "What are you doing yelling? Find your person in charge!" Xu Congliang replied angrily. In fact, he had seen the photo in the information given by Jin Ronggui and knew who this person was. "I am Metelov, the Soviet consul in Harbin! Are you here to take charge of this case?" "Case? What case?" Xu Congliang glared at Metelov angrily, "I haven't figured out what, and you're defining me here?"

Metelov did not expect the Chinese policeman to treat him with such a brutal attitude. Ever since he arrived in Harbin, not to mention the officials of Manchukuo, even the Japanese have been courteous to him. Where has he ever been scolded like this?For a while, his mouth was so dry that he couldn't speak.Liu Chuang saw it clearly from the sidelines, and before Metelov could open his mouth, he took the first step to file a complaint: "Master Qingtian, you are here, you can judge, if they owe money, they will pay you back." Let us ordinary people live!" Metelov also reacted, and hastily argued: "Mr. Police, that's not the case at all, it's them—" He just pointed at Liu Chuang, saw Liu Chuang's fierce eyes, turned his head and said: "They were lawless and forced their way in..."

"Okay, okay!" Xu Congliang was too lazy to listen to these explanations, rolled his eyes and said, "I can't explain this clearly for a while, so you let me stand here and listen?" The more Metelov heard, the more weird things happened today, but he had nothing to do with the Chinese policeman, so he pointed at the stairs: "Then, let's go to the meeting room upstairs." After speaking, he pulled the secretary over, Whispered in Russian: "Quickly call the Japanese Gendarmerie and ask them to deal with it!" "You just call, no one can help you today!" Xu Congliang looked sideways, amused in his heart, although he couldn't understand Russian, he could probably guess a thing or two.After reaching the second floor, Xu Congliang looked at the chaotic scene of crowded people downstairs, and ordered sternly: "Separate the people downstairs and gather them in two rooms, so as not to make trouble later!"

After speaking, he winked at the sour monkey, and followed Metelov into the meeting room.As soon as Xu Congliang's order was issued, the rest of the policemen rushed down the stairs except Liu Yishan with live ammunition, and the sour monkey rushed to the consul's office at the right time. The door is locked, but for acid monkeys, that's not a problem at all.He took out a special wire from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted lightly for more than ten seconds, the door opened gently. Sour Monkey dodged in, his thief eyes turned around and he spotted the safe. He tiptoed over and took out a camera from his pocket.This German Leica camera is Xu Congliang's favorite treasure. It cost five hundred oceans to get it two years ago.This camera not only has a medium-focus lens and a telephoto lens, but also a wide-angle lens, three close-up lenses and two color filters, not even such a high-end item in the police station.The sour monkey has been staring at the camera with greedy eyes, but Xu Congliang insists on it. Except for using it in the investigation of the case, the sour monkey has never even touched it.

The sour monkey happily took the camera and walked to the safe, gently opened the outer lattice door of the safe, revealing a row of password keyboards, but the sour monkey did not press the password immediately, but returned to the office and tiptoed to the office. As he walked to the desk, his eyes were fixed on the desk lamp on the desk. "Remember to turn on the desk lamp before unlocking the combination lock!" Thinking of Xu Congliang's exhortations, the sour monkey carefully pressed the desk lamp switch. The table lamp was turned on, and sour monkey's heart suddenly opened up—as the light came on, a splint slowly protruded from the side of the safe.The sour monkey ran over excitedly, only to see six buttons embedded in the splint!

Sour Monkey's heart was pounding, and now he finally knew the secret of the safe—the code pad on the safe was just a cover, the real code pad was hidden, and it would only appear after turning on the desk lamp and activating the triggering device ! Now, all the problems are no longer a problem. The sour monkey quickly pressed the six numbers "720312", and then pulled the door of the safe. With a pleasant sound of opening, the door opened obediently.The sour monkey quickly took out the documents inside, then took out the camera, and excitedly pressed the shutter... When the sour monkey held his breath and was nervous and busy, in the conference room, Xu Congliang was flaunting his verdict. "It's obviously your fault. You don't want to pay the money, and you blame the wooden gang for asking for the bill?" He shook the contract in his hand and yelled at Metelov plausibly. Metelov's face turned red and turned pale, and he was panting with anger, but he had nothing to do with Xu Congliang.Indeed, I was wronged.But as a foreign envoy, when did he suffer such a loss?At this time, regardless of his identity, he shouted at the secretary angrily: "Is the call through?" "I got through...but..." the secretary said helplessly, "the Japanese gendarmerie replied that the security of the consulate area is under the responsibility of the Harbin Police Department, and it involves the diplomatic affairs of Manchukuo and our Soviet Union, so they are inconvenient to intervene." Seeing Metelov's expression, Xu Congliang knew that he had been rejected, so he walked up to Metelov with a smile, and said in a low voice: "The phone call is over? Then let's deal with this matter? Don't brag about it to me. Beard staring, I'm helping you." "help me?" "Of course, you don't know much about wood gangs, do you? Let me tell you, this is the largest gang in Harbin. Although they are in the timber business in name, they are a bunch of bandits with a license. No one will let the underworld Three points? You still expect the Kwantung Army Gendarmerie to take care of this matter, but will they come? Even the Gendarmerie doesn’t mess with them, you’re good, and you’re fighting with the wooden gang. It’s easy for them to come and make trouble Woolen cloth!" Metelov snorted: "Then what else can they do?" Xu Congliang sighed regretfully, and said slowly like an introduction: "The wooden gang makes a living by reselling timber. They are most afraid of fire, so they are the best at preventing fire. In other words, they understand all kinds of fire tactics. You say, if they set fire, who can stop it? If you offend them, the church you built will soon be reduced to ashes.” After saying this, Metelov's sweat also came down.He glanced at Liu Chuang, and saw this burly man lying on the sofa and smoking a cigarette, and he was carelessly putting his thighs on the desk. No bottom.Before he could take a second look, Liu Chuang yelled cursingly: "Will you pay me? Why are you old men so lazy in doing things? Give me a good word!" At this moment, the sour monkey opened the door and walked in.Seeing that the sour monkey nodded slightly at him, Xu Congliang was secretly happy, and quickly winked at Liu Yishan.After listening to Xu Congliang's explanation on the way here, Liu Yishan had been scratching his head and waiting for this moment, and finally it was here, so Busy Monkey hurried out.The moment the door was closed, Metelov's helpless voice came from behind: "Okay, I'll let the finance department withdraw the money." However, these are not important to Liu Yishan, he is holding the miniature camera tightly, feeling like he is holding a shiny gold bar. When Xu Congliang led the crowd out of the Soviet Russian consulate, Liu Chuang was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. "Brother, how can I thank you for this! Don't say anything, I'll be the host tonight, and we won't go home until we're drunk!" After Liu Chuang finished talking excitedly, he saw the sour monkey glaring at him. "What's the matter? Sour monkey?" Liu Chuang was stared inexplicably. "I just know how to eat, brother's work is not done yet!" After finishing speaking, the sour monkey looked at Xu Congliang and whispered, "Isn't it?" Xu Congliang smiled at Liu Chuang: "I'll drink it another day." Then he looked at the sour monkey, "You can do it, kid, how did you guess it?" "It's not easy?" Sour Monkey said triumphantly, "This is a great achievement, but you let Liu Yishan take a photo to claim the credit. Either you are a fool to do such a thing, or you have another purpose. Brother You must not be a fool, so you must have important things to do." "You have made progress!" Xu Congliang praised, and then said in a low voice, "I am waiting for Little Japan to summon me." Summon Xu Congliang. Seeing Jin Ronggui carefully presenting the miniature camera, Kobayashi smiled.It's not fake, he's really happy.Originally it was just "a dead horse as a living horse doctor", but in the end he really got this information, as if a beauty who had always been indifferent to him suddenly got into his arms, which surprised him extremely. But what surprised Kobayashi even more was yet to come.When he asked Jin Ronggui about the ins and outs of the whole incident, Xiao Linjue blurted out: "Call Xu Congliang, I have something to ask him!" This is too strange, Xu Congliang can enjoy the credit to himself, why should he give the credit to Liu Yishan?Does this kid have the ability to predict?With excitement and doubts, Xiao Linjue walked into the inner room, and he found that Matsuzawa Enji's eyes were also full of curiosity. "This is the most interesting thing I've ever seen. This Xu Congliang is either stupid or extremely smart." "If it's the latter, this Xu Congliang seems to be more useful than some 'cabbage leaves' under Jin Ronggui." Xiao Linjue tested Matsuzawa Enji's opinion.For Jin Ronggui, Songze felt extremely disgusted, and he desperately wanted to put someone he liked in the police station. "It's good to be smart, but the first criterion for choosing a dog is loyalty. Otherwise, no matter how smart a dog is, it's useless." Matsuzawa Enji said lightly, but there was a murderous look in his voice. Before coming, Xu Congliang had already thought about all possible situations, just as he expected that the Japanese would definitely summon him.Therefore, Xu Congliang didn't care even if Xiao Linjue smelled a murderous look in Xiao Linjue's smile.He sat opposite the Japanese, took a sip of tea, then nodded with a smile: "This tea is good!" Xiao Linjue looked at Xu Congliang with a pleasant smile. Although he hadn't talked about the topic so far, he began to like this young man.He has seen many people like Jin Ronggui, Bai Shoutian, Cai Shengmeng, and Ye Yong. These people are all respectful and cautious in front of him, and they don't even dare to drink the tea in their hands.He was tired of watching it, and sometimes he really wanted to shout at the "Jin Ronggui": "Can you Chinese stand up and talk to me? Why are you all like the third grandson?" But every time he held back again, after all, getting angry with the "dog" is never wrong.But this Xu Congliang made him feel very special.From the moment he stepped into the office, this kid was full of evil, as if he entered his own house, without the slightest tension and affectation, and he was not as humble and cautious as Jin Ronggui, but this gave him a fresh feeling . He glanced at Xu Congliang again, made a gratified expression, and said: "I heard from your Director Jin that you have completed this mission very well. These materials are extremely important to our Manchukuo, including our Kanto The Military Intelligence Department has also put in a lot of effort, and today you can successfully complete the task, which can be said to be a great achievement!" Xu Congliang scolded these high-sounding words in his heart, but he said: "What credit do I have, the password is ready-made, I just found a few friends from the rivers and lakes to make a play, and put Su It’s just that the Russian consul was transferred. Besides, it’s Liu Yishan who actually carried out the task, and he should be credited for the credit.” "But as far as I know, it's not that simple, is it?" "You finally got to the point." Xu Congliang smiled secretly, but continued: "I looked at the photos carefully, and found that when Metelov opened the safe, the desk lamp in his room was always on, even It’s the same during the daytime. I was puzzled, because the desk lamp is on the desk, seven or eight meters away from the safe, so it’s impossible to use a desk lamp to illuminate it.” "So you conclude that there must be a connection between the desk lamp and the safe." Xiao Linjue suddenly realized. Xu Congliang raised his thumbs: "You thought of it right away, but I figured it out after a whole night of thinking. You said, I discovered such a small detail, how can it be regarded as credit? If there is no password, this point Cleverness is worthless." This flattery was extremely sincere, and the credit was given to the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army with a few simple words, which greatly benefited Xiao Linjue.However, he changed his mind and asked again with a smile: "Why did you give Liu Yishan the answer you came up with after thinking about it all night?" Xu Congliang blinked his eyes twice, and said in a low voice, "That's a state secret. If I take a photo, it's like seeing those materials. What if I drink too much and go out one day..." Speaking of this, Xu Congliang waved his hands again and again, "If I insist on seeing something that I shouldn't be looking at, wouldn't that be a fool? I'd rather not have this credit than live in fear all day long." What Xu Congliang said was the truth.He knew that with this insidious guy opposite, telling a hundred lies was not as effective as telling one truth.Sure enough, Xiao Linjue nodded in satisfaction after listening, and suddenly said pointedly: "Mr. Xu is young, but he is very mature and cautious in doing things." Xu Congliang couldn't tell whether Xiao Linjue's words were yin or yang for a moment, he laughed and said, "I am incomparable with those who have connections and backgrounds, it's like they were a carp who have practiced for five hundred years. After jumping the dragon gate, I became a dragon. As for me, I was originally a loach. I first practiced for a thousand years and became a carp, and then practiced for five hundred years before jumping the dragon gate. If I fail with them, they will still be a dragon. Carp, but I turned back into loach again. Tell me, how can I not be cautious in doing things?" After hearing this, Xiao Linjue couldn't help laughing. He patted Xu Congliang on the shoulder and said cordially, "Young man, work hard, and your talent will shine in Manchuria!" Xu Congliang cursed inwardly: "Big show? I have a lot of farts! Wait until I get up slowly, and I'll let you smell it!" The more he cursed in his heart, the more sincere the smile on his face was, until he said goodbye , There is still a smug look on his face. After Xu Congliang left, Kobayashi went straight to the inner room, and before he could speak, he saw Matsuzawa Enji smiling at him and nodding. "What do you think of this Xu Congliang?" Songze asked. "He is a smart person who doesn't play smart, and I think he can be of great use." But Songze shook his head: "No matter how smart he is, he's just a small person, so there's no need to put so much thought into it. What's more, if he is really talented, he will come out on his own without the help of others." "But I guess it will be difficult for him to come out. He blamed Liu Yishan, can Ye Yong spare him?" Song Ze sneered and said, "If he can't even pass Ye Yong, then we don't need to support him, right? The most important thing now is to find out the murder of Mita Takao and the other three Kwantung Army officers." , These few assassinations were definitely not done by ordinary people, I suspect that there are specially trained secret service organizations lurking in Harbin!" Xu Congliang unloaded a big burden, and felt as light as a swallow when he walked for several days. He didn't expect to gain the appreciation and trust of the Japanese by relying on intelligence. In his plan, this was just the first step to get up, as long as his name remained in Matsuzawa Sonoji's mind. On this day, after Xu Congliang and the sour monkey went to the bathhouse to take a bath, they hummed a ditty and returned to Xu Congliang's house, but they were stunned as soon as they entered the house. A strange man was sitting comfortably on the sofa. The man was about forty years old, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and looked polite.Xu Congliang said: No one in my new home knows about it. Except for Liu Chuang, only a few people in the police department know about it, but this person is not a colleague in the police department at all. While thinking about it, the man got up and introduced himself: "Mr. Xu, hello, my name is Ma Banxian, you should have heard of it, right?" The sour monkey almost didn't laugh out loud, thinking: "What's the name of this person? If a fortune teller wearing a long gown and sunglasses is called that name, it's okay, but this person still looks like a scholar." Xu Congliang was also taken aback for a moment, but immediately held Ma Banxian's hand in surprise, and said enthusiastically, "Oh, I know, I know, you are Mr. Ma who set up a stall on the Beiping Tianqiao three years ago, right?" Ma Banxian smiled and said: "Mr. Xu is a nobleman who forgets things too much. I didn't set up a stall three years ago. I set up a stall when the Eight-Power Allied Forces came in in Gengzi Year." The sour monkey was even more puzzled when he heard that, this horse banxian was only in his early forties, and he was less than ten years old in the Gengzi period, so the kid set up a stall to tell fortunes?What's more, Xu Congliang was still in his mother's womb when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces came in, so they couldn't even know each other! He was confused for a while, but Xu Congliang smiled, and took Ma Banxian's hand and said kindly: "Mr. Ma must be here for something this time, right?" Ma Banxian smiled and nodded, but then looked at the sour monkey.Xu Congliang understood in his heart, waved his hand and said, "This is my brother, I don't carry anything behind his back except sleeping with women." "Since I'm not an outsider, I'll just say it straight." After Ma Banxian finished speaking, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Xu Congliang. "I need this information urgently. Mr. Xu must be able to get it. It is a reward for Mr. Xu." Xu Congliang opened the envelope, only to see a piece of letter paper and a money order of 1,000 yuan inside.With just a glance, he could see clearly that the money order was issued by HSBC, the largest bank in Harbin, and it would be no problem to exchange it for any bills in the customs.Xu Congliang didn't say a word, took out the letter paper, looked it over, took out a match, and burned the letter paper clean. "How?" Ma Banxian had a clue in his mind, but he still asked. "Let's meet at Lama Terrace a week later, and I'll take the things with me." Xu Congliang added after finishing speaking, "Either what you want, or this money order." "Brother Xu is really refreshing! Then I'll just wait for the good news! Farewell." Ma Banxian didn't say a word of nonsense either. After speaking, he clasped his fists and turned around to leave. The sour monkey stared straight at the money order in the envelope, swallowed and said, "Brother, who is this person? Why is the information so valuable?" Xu Congliang ignored the sour monkey, put the envelope in his arms, slipped to the window and stared at Ma Banxian's back. After looking at it for several times, Xu Congliang turned his head, picked up the camera, and said to the sour monkey: "What are you doing in a daze, let's go!" "Where are you going?" After finishing speaking, the sour monkey came to his senses and scolded himself for being so stupid. A stranger strangely took out a thousand dollars to buy information. Although the continuous autumn rain had stopped, night had fallen early, and the two followed Ma Banxian in the dark.I saw Ma Banxian turned a few turns and came to a street. He stopped and looked around before he called a rickshaw and got on it.Xu Congliang snarled the monkey and nunuzui: "You also find a rickshaw to follow." "how about you?" "It's conspicuous enough for a car to follow. Are you afraid that people won't know? I exercise." After finishing speaking, Xu Congliang ran to the other side of the street with a low waist, trotting behind. Sour Monkey gave up after following for a few hundred meters. The rickshaw in front circled around a turntable intersection. If his car followed him for a walk, he would be spotted immediately.The sour monkey left the money angrily and got out of the rickshaw, but in the blink of an eye, Ma Banxian disappeared!Taking another look, there was no trace of Xu Congliang around. Sour Monkey thought that Xu Congliang had followed, and wandering around by himself was not a solution, so he returned home angrily. Seeing that the sour monkey was thrown away, Xu Congliang was very happy.He knew that with Ma Banxian's ability, he would definitely find the sour monkey following him. Xu Congliang's purpose was to let Ma Banxian focus on the sour monkey. Once he got rid of the follower, Ma Banxian would relax his vigilance.What he expected was right, Xu Congliang easily followed along the rest of the way.Ma Banxian's rickshaw turned left and right, non-stop, and went straight to Central Street, the most prosperous commercial street in Harbin. Although both sides of Zhongyang Avenue are dotted with shops and there are endless streams of people, Xu Congliang's eyes were fixed on Ma Banxian's back, and he finally stopped at the entrance of the Harbin Theater. "I should have thought about it a long time ago. This guy's acting is so good. Where else would he go if he didn't come to the theater!" Xu Congliang cursed with a smile, and then came to the entrance of the theater, took out his ID from his pocket, and rushed to the gatekeeper. Yang, we are going in. Unexpectedly, Xu Congliang was dumbfounded by the gatekeeper's words. "Sorry, rehearsal today." Xu Congliang felt that he had heard it wrong, so he raised his ID again: "See clearly, I'm not a theatergoer!" The gatekeeper gave Xu Congliang a blank look. "You can't get in if you don't see anything. Today's rehearsal is specially for the leaders of the Kwantung Army. Even if I let you in, the bayonet inside will push you back." "How did that person go in just now?" Xu Congliang asked back. "He is an interpreter of the Kwantung Army, of course he can go in!" Xu Congliang was completely dumbfounded, turned around and walked into a tavern without saying a word, ordered a plate of soy peanuts and a pot of small cooking, and drank the wine.This discovery was beyond his expectation. The Ma Banxian who asked him for information turned out to be a devil translator!Drinking the hot drink, Xu Congliang felt chills on his back and his head grew bigger, but his eyes were wider than usual, and he was staring at the gate of the theater. After half a pot of cooking was done, the door of the theater finally opened, and a crowd of people came out.Xu Congliang looked closely, and was in a cold sweat again!The one who came out of the middle turned out to be Matsuzawa Enji!Beside him is a woman dressed coquettishly, Xu Congliang thinks the face is familiar, but he can't remember where he saw it for a while, this woman is not only well-dressed, but also charming and seductive, and she is holding Song Ze's arm with a smile , very intimate.Beside them are more than a dozen officers of the Kwantung Army, among whom Xu Congliang knew Xiao Linjue and Yoshimura Hidezou. Beside Yoshimura, there was also a young woman with a slender figure and delicate features. The Japanese woman whose purse was robbed!And Yoshimura held an umbrella for the woman, looking considerate. "Who is this little girl? She looks quite distinguished!" Xu Congliang muttered, looking back, Ma Banxian suddenly appeared in his sight, he nodded and bowed and followed behind a Japanese officer, completely unlike the one he met just now The demeanor of the time. Xu Congliang didn't care to think too much, seeing that these people were about to get into their respective cars, Xu Congliang immediately dropped the wine cup, took out his camera and quickly pressed the shutter. The sour monkey waited at home and scratched his head. Fortunately, Liu Chuang also came over, which made the time pass faster.It was easy to hear a noise at the door, and the sour monkey rushed to meet him, but was surprised when he saw Xu Congliang.I saw him holding a thick stack of ghost paper in his hand. The sour monkey was confused by Xu Congliang, looking at a thick stack of papers, he asked wonderingly: "Brother, what day is it today? How did you buy this thing?" Xu Congliang sighed, took the paper and incense burner to the yard, lit two sticks of incense, Xu Congliang squatted on the ground and respectfully burned the paper, and said something in his mouth: "Brother, don't blame me. Brother, brother can’t do anything about it. A smart brother can’t bully you, he can only bully you. You’ll be happy there, and you don’t have to be pissed off by little Japan anymore. Brother is actually miserable... Brother will burn more money for you , but don’t spend it recklessly, kid. Let me tell you, this money will be mailed to you once a year, and even if you bring a kid to dream of me, I won’t mail it to you.” After chanting, he turned his head and told the sour monkey: "Tomorrow, secretly send two hundred yuan to Liu Yishan's house." Only then did the sour monkey realize that Xu Congliang was burning paper for Liu Yishan.He muttered: "Brother, although Liu Yishan is not very good, you don't have to curse him like that." Xu Congliang also threw the last few papers into the fire, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not cursing him, he saw the information in the password cabinet, can Little Japan stay alive? I guess he is now We have crossed the Naihe Bridge." After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked Liu Chuang: "Didn't you say we'll drink it another day? What's the matter, are you hungry for alcohol?" Liu Chuang smiled innocently, took out a bank note from his pocket and handed it over. "This thousand yuan is our boss's wish, and he specially asked me to bring it here." Xu Congliang didn't even look at it, and stopped him directly. "Do we brothers still need to look outside? It's true that I want hard work, but it's not for myself." "That's it?" Liu Chuang was confused. Xu Congliang laughed: "It's for you! You are a third-in-command, how can you do it if you don't have a lot of money?" Liu Chuang slapped his hands and kept shaking his head. "That's not okay! Big brother gave me a gun and asked for debts for our wooden gang. How can I still ask for money from big brother?" Xu Congliang narrowed his eyes and said, "This money is only useful when it is spent, and it is useless for me? Besides, money can be used up, but friendship can't be eaten up. No matter how much money you save, it is just gold and silver, but it can be used for friendship." If you think about it, then there is no limit. Then again, you guys have helped me a lot this time, and it’s too late for me to thank you, so you can use this money to reward everyone for me.” Only then did Liu Chuang take the money, but he said bluntly, "But, brother, it doesn't take so much money." Xu Congliang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Then please brothers do something for me." "What's the matter? Brother, you can do it." Liu Chuang immediately agreed. "Help me find some people." After finishing speaking, Xu Congliang stuffed the camera into the hand of the sour monkey and said, "Hurry up and develop the film, and then give it to Liu Chuang." The sour monkey took it and was about to run to the darkroom when Xu Congliang stopped him again, "By the way, monkey, have the photos you took at the Soviet Russian consulate been developed?" Sour Monkey nodded. "Bring it quickly, we will make a fortune from it!" Xu Congliang jumped up, dragging Sour Monkey and Liu Chuang back to the house. Sour Monkey also remembered about Ma Banxian, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, big brother, who is this Ma Banxian?" Xu Congliang took the photo handed over by the sour monkey, looked at it and said, "You remember that before my godfather left, he chatted with me alone for a long time, right?" Sour Monkey nodded.Xu Congliang's godfather is the former police chief. After the "September 18th" incident, he left Harbin with the Northeast Army, but before leaving, he secretly talked to Xu Congliang about the whole day. "My godfather wanted to take me away with him, but firstly, I didn't like to go to Guannei, and secondly, he also entrusted me with important things, so I stayed." "What's the important thing?" Sour Monkey and Liu Chuang couldn't help pricking up their ears when they heard Xu Congliang talk about it for the first time. "Although our Northeast Army has left, no one is willing to leave the three provinces in the Northeast to Little Japan. Sooner or later we will fight back! For this, the young commander has placed many intelligence personnel in the Northeast." Liu Chuang was both excited and nervous when he heard it, and suddenly asked, "Are you one of them?" Xu Congliang sighed, and said, "I really want to, but people don't think highly of me as a small section chief. But my godfather misses me and left us a chance to make a little money." "What chance?" "My godfather has some connections with one of the intelligence agencies, so he recommended me to them. But in my godfather's introduction, I was a sloppy intelligence agent. He did it for my own good. In this way, I can borrow Buying and selling information for some money won’t have too much to do with politics. They can come to me when they have something to do, and we can live our own lives with peace of mind.” The sour monkey understood: "Greatly, Ma Banxian is a spy of our Northeast Army. Since he is one of our own, why do you still secretly follow him? One more thing is worse than one less thing. If he wants any information, we will give it to him. How lightweight." "I thought so too." Xu Congliang held a photo and murmured, "But what he wants is the information that Little Japan is trying to get." "What's so strange about this? Doesn't it mean that this information is important? Or can someone buy it for a thousand dollars?" As soon as the sour monkey finished speaking, Xu Congliang used the photo to slap his head: "Why don't you get the hang of it? Just your brain, if someone sells it, you have to count the money!" The sour monkey rubbed his head, and said aggrievedly, "Why did I say something wrong?" "Don't even think about it. How confidential is the information that the Japanese want? How many people know? I guess even Jin Ronggui doesn't know, but this Ma Banxian knows it. What's more, Ma Banxian asked me to buy information. Knowing that I might have this thing, it took only two days from the time the Japanese issued the mission to the completion, how could he get such accurate information?" Then, Xu Congliang lowered his voice and repeated what he had just seen to the two brothers.After a moment of silence, Sour Monkey Mama called out: "God, do you think Ma Banxian was sent by the Japanese to test you?" Xu Congliang sighed for a long time. This time he didn't even want to beat the sour monkey. He turned to Liu Chuang and said, "Since my godfather asked Ma Banxian to contact me, it means he is reliable. If he is Japanese People sent people to test me, and the devils have already come to search. Besides, I know how much I weigh, and the devils can't afford to send people to test me. If they think I'm suspicious, they can just arrest and kill me. ? They don't do anything that caress about human life?" "If that's the case, then this horse banxian has a lot of background!" Liu Chuang said. “所以，就得有劳你的兄弟，帮我私下调查一下这个马半仙，此外——”许从良色色地笑，“还有两个小娘们儿，也要帮我弄清底细。” 酸猴子瞅着许从良的色样，揶揄道：“咋的？这两个小娘们比金盛园的林家妹子还好看？” 许从良白了酸猴子一样，慢条斯理地说：“老子睡过不少女人，可就是还没睡过日本娘们呢！” 许从良和酸猴子、刘闯商量对策的时候，在金荣桂的家里，“白菜叶”也齐聚一堂。不过，三个人的脸拉得一个比一个长，叶勇更是愤愤不平地发着牢骚。 “厅长，我就咽不下这口气，好端端的一个人，说没就没了！” 蔡圣孟眨巴眨巴眼睛，跟了叹了一口气：“现在这世道，不知道谁哪次不经意地跟你说了再见，之后就真的再也不见了。” 白受天瞅瞅两人，又看看金荣桂，没有吱声。 金荣桂刚刚给小林觉打了电话，说的事情也很简单——刘一山酒后溺水身亡。至于真正的死因，双方心知肚明，哼哈几句之后便心照不宣地放下了电话。此时见叶勇一副愤愤不平的样子，金荣桂阴险地笑道：“你这是生日本人的气，还是生许从良的气呢？” 叶勇张了几下嘴，从口型上谁都看得出他要说什么，但他还是强忍住，骂道：“许从良那小子，我饶不了他！” 金荣桂微微一笑，道：“四十岁之前，在我的信念里有个关键词叫'抓住'，在四十岁之后，这个词你知道换成什么了吗？” 没等叶勇回话，金荣桂自言自语道：“四十岁之后，才知道最关键的是'放下'。” 白受天首先领悟了领导的意思，在旁慢条斯理地说道：“厅长说的是，这个刘一山怪不得别人，如果他的贪心不那么大，也就不会上许从良的当，他要是舍了那份贪心，命自然就保住了。” 他话音刚落，叶勇就气冲冲地接道：“不过许从良这小子诡计太多了，留着他早晚是个祸害！” 蔡圣孟正要接茬，余光里看到白受天的嘴闭得严严的，于是咽了口唾沫，止住了要说的话。金荣桂则似乎没有听到，望着窗外的月亮打了个哈欠：“这么好看的月亮，谈论这些死死活活的事儿干什么，这种事情要等到夜黑风高的时候谈才对路。” 三人相互瞅瞅，一时间都没明白金荣桂的意图，但眼见天色已晚，便都告辞而出。看着几个人的背影，金荣桂的太太走到他身边，问道：“老金，我听白菜叶他们说的这个事儿，感觉许从良挺有能力的，你对他到底是什么态度呀？” 金荣桂摇摇头，若有所思地说：“看家狗如果没有事干就懒了，要是院子外面总有一只野狗和他们抢东西，甚至还要进来成为它们中的一员，这些看家狗就会变得勤快起来，对主人也更忠诚了。” “那你是要重用许从良了？” 金荣桂揽着太太的腰向卧室走去，一路笑道：“你啊，就是心地太善良了，在官场上最忌讳的就是这一点。对下属，无所谓该不该重用，关键的是在什么时候重用。对于许从良来说，不远不近地在外面漂着，是他现在最合适的位置。” 金太太闻听，脚步忽地一顿，仰脸笑道：“我忽然想，你上任以来，这个许从良从没给你送过礼，他是不是也猜到即便是送礼给你，也得不到重用呢？” 金荣桂摸了摸脑袋：“果真如此的话，我对许从良倒有些惺惺相惜的感觉。” 夜黑风高，在哈尔滨北郊的一条蜿蜒小路上，刘闯带着三十几个木帮的弟兄正往城南木帮的大本营赶着夜路。马蹄子都被绑上了布条，马嚼子也套得牢牢的，在漆黑的夜里只听得马匹粗重的呼吸声，但就连这点声音刘闯也听得心焦。 因为十辆马车上有七辆装的不是木头，而是满满的煤、烧酒和大米白面！这年头，用木头换钱好换，换这些东西可不容易，特别是煤和大米白面，平民老百姓根本没有吃和用的份。这要是让日本人发现了，经济罪肯定是犯了，轻的进笆篱子（监狱）挨上个把月皮鞭，重的直接就拉到郊外一枪毙了。 看着天空浓浓的黑雾，刘闯更是加倍小心，他招过来一个叫孙大个子的心腹，吩咐道：“最近小日本宪兵队在北面搜查得很厉害，你去前面探探路，有动静赶紧回来报告！” 孙大个子应声去了，刘闯也招呼其他兄弟停下来歇歇脚，利用这段时间，他把十辆马车又仔细查看了一番。为了躲避沿途的搜查，他特意把马车进行了伪装，马车四周都是木头，里面则装着换来的这些宝贝。这瞒天过海的法子，他已经用过了好几次，但是这次一路上却始终忐忑不安，因为孙大个子悄悄对他说，木帮的二当家齐春海对手下放出话来，要想法子收拾一下这个不听他摆布的“老三”。 对于齐春海，刘闯一百个瞧不上眼，这家伙自幼就在木帮长大，仗着和木帮龙头老大关镇山是光腚娃娃的关系，终日里作威作福。这还不是最主要的，最让刘闯鄙夷的是，这家伙最近和几个汉奸走得特别近乎，要是哪一天齐春海也变成汉奸，刘闯一点也不惊讶。 他正琢磨着，突然两声炸雷般的轰响从远处传来，紧接着北面的天空泛起一团火光，密集的枪声和爆炸声响成一团！ 紧跟着，远处一个黑影飞快地向这边移动。刘闯一惊，急忙拔出腰间的驳壳枪，再定睛细看，来人正是孙大个子。 刘闯忙问：“前面出啥事了？” “鬼子在北郊的一个中队营地好像被炸了！” 刘闯又惊又喜，环顾了一下左右，说道：“能和小日本真刀真枪干的，在哈尔滨附近只有五常游击队，咱们打不过小日本，但帮着煽风点火的本事还是有的，即便杀不了几个鬼子，至少咱们放几枪还能出口恶气。弟兄们，你们说是不是？” “这还用说嘛！” “大哥，你就吩咐吧！” 刘闯见状，对孙大个子说：“趁这乱工夫，你带着人赶着马车快走。我挑几个玩过枪的去那边凑凑热闹！” 说完，他从一辆马车的车板下面翻出一把裹着布条的步枪，这正是许从良送给他的那把莫辛·纳甘狙击枪，其他几个弟兄也纷纷翻出自己的家伙。有三八大盖，有中正式，还有的是土造的筒子枪，虽然都破旧不堪，但好歹都能打出子弹。准备停当之后，刘闯带着十个弟兄沿小路飞也似的向远处奔去。 爆炸声响起的时候，在北郊警察署外潜藏着的女人微微一笑，然后拿起地上的一颗手榴弹，当警署里的灯光刚刚亮起的一瞬间，她已经拉开引线，“刷”的一声将手榴弹扔了出去。 手榴弹准确地砸在警署门前，一声震天响之后，警署的大门被炸得稀巴烂，里面的惨叫声刚刚传出之时，女人又甩出了第二颗、第三颗手榴弹…… 随着此起彼伏的爆炸声，警署里火光冲天，门窗、桌椅，还有杂七杂八的物件或是震飞上天，或是轰隆隆地倒塌下来，巨大的震响将刚才的惨叫声淹没殆尽。 但女人并没立刻撤离，而是抬枪紧紧瞄着已经变成残垣断瓦的警署大门。果然，浓烟之中冲出了三个家伙，一个个衣衫不整，满脸挂着血，正举着枪慌乱地张望。 女人冷笑一声，举枪便射。“啪啪啪”几声脆响之后，两个仓皇逃出的警员应声倒地，第三个家伙倒还机警，听到枪声来源之后就地一个滚翻，回身就是两枪。女人身形一闪，余光里看见那家伙正往一个墙垛奔去，女人不慌不忙举起驳壳枪，左手架在右手腕上，枪口紧随对方，当那警察刚刚跑到墙垛，身形稍顿的一瞬间，女人果断地扣动了扳机。 枪响人倒，女人扫了一眼后飞快地换上了一个弹夹，枪口再度指向警署大门。但火光和浓烟之中再没有人跑出。观察了十几秒钟，看再无动静，女人才将枪别在腰间，把稍显凌乱的长发拢了一下后迅速地消失在夜幕之中，向北面枪声密集的地方奔去。 此时，在北郊日军驻地附近，蒙面男人将最后一颗手榴弹甩了出去，爆炸声中，他拔枪在手，冲着冲出驻地的几个鬼子“啪啪”放了两枪，然后冲身旁的人喊道：“不要恋战，立刻撤退！” 十几条身影立刻从埋伏的地点探出了身子，掉头向远处的密林跑去，身后的枪声仍然密集不断，但鬼子一时间还没摸清来路，竟没有成群结队地追上来。夜色之中，蒙面男人带着众人轻车熟路地翻过两个土坡，钻进密林里，身后的爆炸声已经停息，密集的子弹声虽然仍在大作，但却渐行渐远。突然，前面的林子里闪出一个身影，男人只一瞄便认清了来人，快步迎了上去。 "How about it?" “除了三个跑出来的，剩下的都炸在警察署里了。”女人轻松地说。 “跑出来三个？” “是呀，浪费了我一弹匣子弹。”女人笑道。 男人松了一口气，虽然蒙着脸，但眼神中的笑意却是掩藏不住。他大手一挥，将众人聚在身边，低声说：“任务已经完成，大家立刻分散，各回各的地方，最近几天不要有任何行动！” 交代完毕，十几个人分成三组，趁着夜色分头散开。男人冲女人说：“走吧，咱们也该回去了。”女人嫣然一笑，握住男人的手正要出发，忽听得左侧的密林里传出几声枪响，紧接着叽里哇啦的咒骂声便响了起来！ “有鬼子！”两人不约而同地惊呼，顾不得多说，提枪便奔了过去。刚刚闪进左侧的密林，呼啸的子弹便一阵风一样扑了过来，两人连着几个侧翻，藏到一个斜坡后面，同时手中的驳壳枪也向着枪声的来源喷出子弹。 “怎么回事？”男人冲密林里的一个同伴问道。 “刚钻进林子里就遇到了一队鬼子，咱们也没提防，老赵和小五子在前面被撂倒了！” “鬼子？这里也没他们的驻兵啊！”蒙面男人心急如焚，抬手又射了几枪后，仔细辨听了一下对方枪声的分布，思忖道，“这伙鬼子人数倒也不多，只有二十多人，看来是偶然撞上的。估计他们也不知道咱们的底细，听枪声，他们也只是原地射击，并没有包抄。” “可咱们人数也不多，还有四五个弟兄挂了彩，硬拼也不是办法啊！”女人焦急地问。 男人咬咬牙：“你带着受伤的兄弟赶快从右边撤，我带几个人在这边掩护！” “可你也不能出事啊，你要是有个闪失，咱们的联络站就暴露了！”女人犹豫着不走。 商量之时，枪声骤然猛烈，在密集的枪声中，男人脸色一凛。“坏了，敌人有援兵！” "how?" “原来的枪声听起来只是三八大盖和手枪发出来的，可刚才有几枪是标准的狙击步枪声！”男人狠狠捶了一下身下的泥土，突然惊喜交加地说，“不对，我怎么听鬼子在号叫？” 果然，刚才那阵猛烈的枪声过后，鬼子阵营里响起了好几声鬼哭狼嚎般的惨叫声。正这时，一个黑影从东边的土坡爬了上来，男人急忙掉转枪口，谨慎地注视着，只见这人一身短衣打扮，显然不是鬼子。等再进了一些，男人拔枪喝道：“谁？” “你们是不是游击队的朋友？我是木帮的兄弟！”来人气喘吁吁地说。 “木帮？刚才那阵枪是你们打的？”蒙面男人又惊又喜。 “是，我们刘三爷带着几个人还在那边呢，不过也支持不了多久，他让我过来带你们赶紧走！” 男人和女人不禁对视一眼，眼神中都露出一个意思：原来是他！ “但我们走了，你们刘三爷那里怎么办？”男人一想到鬼子的火力，就不禁为刘闯担心。 “放心吧，这里的路我们木帮最熟了，闭着眼睛都能甩掉小鬼子！” 听了这话，蒙面男人放下了心，趁着另一头枪声密集，带着手下急速撤离了战场。 翻过两个土坳子，又穿过一片密密麻麻的桦树林，木帮的探子将众人带了一处隐蔽的河床，“兄弟们在这儿稍歇一会儿，我们刘三爷撤了以后也奔这儿来。” 蒙面男人点了点头，刚才一路上他听得枪声已经开始分散，料想木帮的人也没恋战，正依托着地形分散撤离。但回头看看自己几个受伤的弟兄，却又眉头深锁，只见有三个人被子弹穿透了胸膛，虽然没打中心脏，但再不救治恐怕也挺不了多久了。 正在这时，一阵急促的奔跑声由远处传来，不大一会儿，刘闯带着几个弟兄汗流浃背地跑了回来。 “三爷，你没事吧？”木帮的弟兄急忙问。 刘闯压低声音嘿嘿笑道：“老子的腿比小日本的子弹快多了，估计他们现在还在林子里瞎转悠呢！” 说完，他瞅着蒙面男人，问道：“你们就是五常游击队的朋友吧？” 蒙面男人清咳了一声，旁边一个精壮汉子踏前两步，一抱拳说：“在下李立军，五常游击队的小队长，承蒙木帮刘三爷搭救——” 刘闯一摆手：“客套话就免了，我刘闯帮你们，是因为看你们打鬼子个个都是条汉子，可不是想听你唠叨这些客气话的。对了，你们受伤的兄弟们怎么样了？” 李立军叹道：“有三个伤得挺重，得赶紧抬回五常去，晚了就够呛了。” 刘闯闻听，一拍大腿：“五常离这里四五十里地呢，等抬到血也流干了！啥也别说了，赶紧抬到我们木帮！” 李立军和蒙面男人均是喜形于色，相互对视一眼后，蒙面男人说道：“立军，那你就辛苦一趟，几个兄弟就交给你了，我们得赶紧回去。”说完带着蒙面女人匆匆离开了。 在哈尔滨东南方向，靠近森林的地界有一片方圆几里的棚户区，和其他地方的棚户区不同，这里的棚子全都是用白桦木搭建的，如果没有升起的炊烟，那么和森林几乎就融成一体，特别是在冬天，白茫茫的一片，就连炊烟都像是森林里散发出来的雾气。 这就是哈尔滨第一大帮派——木帮的大本营。一千多号弟兄，再加上拖家带口的，总共三四千人，将这里变成了一座十足的村镇。“村镇”分成三大部分，中间的是木帮老大关镇山的营盘，以这里为中心，南侧是二当家齐春海的地盘，而三当家刘闯则带着两百来号弟兄住在北侧的棚户区里。 和混乱的时局一样，木帮此时也暗藏杀机。对于木帮老大关镇山来说，就是一门心思想多伐木头，然后换成大把大把的钞票，至于是日本人坐江山还是满洲人当家，他并不关心，谁当家老百姓都得活不是？但二当家齐春海和三当家刘闯却都不是这么想，齐春海一心想抱日本人的大腿，而刘闯则一听到“日本”两个字就气不打一处来。因此，两个人只要一见面就吹胡子瞪眼，谁也不搭理谁。 不过，今晚，刘闯的脑子里根本就没琢磨齐春海的地方。黑夜之中回到自己的营盘后，刘闯就派手下把自己的棚户区看管得严严实实，然后把孙大个子叫过来：“赶紧把'大烟袋锅子'找来！” 接着，他忙张罗人把几个伤员抬进自己的板棚里，李立军一边照应着一边问：“三爷，你刚才说的'大烟袋锅子'是大夫？” 刘闯哈哈一笑：“'大烟袋锅子'是我手下的一个老江湖，走南闯北，学了一套看病的手艺，对外伤尤其有点办法，我们木帮的活儿弄不好就受一身伤，'大烟袋锅子'就是我们的活神仙一样。” 正说着，门帘子一挑，一股呛人的烟袋油子味冲了进来，不用说，“大烟袋锅子”到了。 李立军回头看去，只见这人五十岁左右年纪，瘦得皮包骨头，而且一脸的蜡黄，如果刘闯事先没说他是个大夫，那谁都会认为进来的是个快死的病秧子。 “有弟兄受伤了？”大烟袋锅子嘶哑着嗓子问。 “岂止是受伤，都被鬼子的子弹打透了，你的家什都带来了？”刘闯拽着大烟袋锅子，一把就拎到了床前。 “大夫不带看病的东西怎么行，都在这儿呢！”大烟袋锅子晃荡了两下身上的褡裢，顿时响起了一阵叮叮咣咣的碰击声，也不知道那油渍渍的褡裢兜里面装着什么东西。 李立军看在眼里，心里七上八下，大烟袋锅子却似乎一点都不着急，慢吞吞地检查起来。 “还好，还好。”他将头两个伤员的伤口检查了一遍，嘴里迸出这四个字。 李立军看着弟兄的血肉模糊的伤口，焦急地说：“大夫，都这样了还好呢？” 大烟袋锅子白了李立军一眼：“没打中要害当然好了，而且你还得感谢小日本的三八大盖呢，那枪虽然射得远、打得准，但伤口也小，子弹不容易留在身体里，这要是子弹还在里面，华佗来了也没招。”说着，大烟袋锅子从褡裢的一个口袋里翻出一个紫黑色的药瓶，掀开盖从里面倒出一些褐色的粉末，然后又把搭在肩膀上的烟袋锅子拿下来，对着桌子磕打了半天。“把药粉和这些烟灰混合在一起，再把车前草的叶子捣碎了一起熬，熬成糨糊样就行了，一半外敷、一半喂给他俩吃。” 李立军本想问那是什么药，可见木帮的人听了，都奉若神明地照着去做，也就闭上了嘴。 大烟袋锅子走到第三个伤员跟前，看了几眼以后，脸色突然变了，嘟嘟囔囔地说：“这个可难办了，后背没打穿，子弹还在里面呢！看来我这宿觉是睡不成了……” 刘闯忙道：“你可别絮叨了，赶快治吧！” 大烟袋锅子也没搭理刘闯，拽了个板凳一屁股坐下，然后从褡裢里开始掏东西，掏一样，吩咐一句—— “把这些药草捣碎了，弄点酒给他灌进去，记住要温乎的酒！” “这几个针给我在火上烫一遍。” “再给我弄一大盘热水，还有棉花！” “你们几个把那小子的衣服脱干净。” 交代完这些，他转头瞅着刘闯，嘿嘿笑道：“刘三爷，我可听说你这里还有几坛子上好的二锅头呢！” 刘闯狠狠地瞪了一眼，骂道：“你个老东西，啥事儿你都知道！我这叫让人去拿，这下你满意了吧？你别喝迷糊了就好！” 李立军把刘闯拉到一边，小声问：“这时候怎么还喝酒啊？” 刘闯哈哈一笑：“这老东西一到给人开膛破肚的时候手就哆嗦，不喝酒就下不去刀子。” 李立军心里连连叫苦，可事已至此，也没别的法子了，只有胆战心惊地陪在一旁。 只见大烟袋锅子灌了两口酒以后，晃晃荡荡走到伤员身前，接过烫好的几根银针，颤颤巍巍地插进了伤员的大腿根和肚脐，一边插还一边拧，直到插进去四分之三才罢手。 说也奇怪，伤员却没发出呻吟之声，反而闭着眼睛似乎昏昏欲睡了。 紧接着，大烟袋锅子拿出一把两寸长的刀子，对准了伤口，飞快地插了进去，刀柄一横、再一划动，随着喷出的一股鲜血，伤员的肚子被划开了一道口子。李立军还没看清伤口里面的样子，大烟袋锅子早就把事先准备好的药草塞进了伤员肚子里，顿时血就流得少了许多。说时迟那时快，大烟袋锅子右手里的刀子还没抽出，左手已经掏出了一柄小细锤一样的物件，顺着切开的刀口伸了进去。只见他屏气凝神，像是给肚子里面抓痒一样，左一下右一下掏来掏去，直看得李立军一阵阵恶心，又一阵阵地起鸡皮疙瘩。 突然，大烟袋锅子的手猛然停住，脸也涨得通红，深吸了几口气以后，手才略微动弹了一下，可嘴却不闲着：“酒、酒！” 刘闯一惊，马上回过味来，急忙倒了一盅白酒喂到大烟袋锅子嘴边。大烟袋锅子脖子一仰，“滋喽”一口，把酒咽进了肚子里，随即美滋滋地“呷”了一声，也就在这一声之后，他的手轻巧地抽出，只见那个小细锤一样的物件上赫然夹着一颗子弹！ 房间里静了片刻，顿时发出一片欢呼之声！李立军更是笑得眼泪都流了出来，拽着大烟袋锅子的手一个劲儿地摇晃，却是说不出话来。大烟袋锅子嘿嘿笑了两声，随即沉下脸，“子弹虽然取出来了，但这小子伤得太重，要没有好药顶上去，恐怕还是够呛。我这里的药材见效慢，恐怕来不及，最好还是想办法弄点洋药来。” 李立军连连点头：“我这就去找我们老大，他点子多，应该能弄到好药！” 刘闯斜眼瞅了瞅李立军，忽然想到了那个蒙面男人，心道：“难道那个人就是他们老大？点子多，还能多过我大哥许从良？”
