Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Birthday Dinner

Keiko was wearing a pure white pleated skirt, elegant and elegant yet pure and beautiful.Matsuzawa Enji is also well-dressed, with a kind smile on his face. "Damn it, who would have thought that this guy would turn into a murderous devil after putting on the military uniform!" Xu Congliang spat and cursed several times in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he patted everyone together hand. Brothers and sisters Lin Sen and Lin Dan were as happy as Liu Chuang from ear to ear. The good news of Qi Chunhai's arrest spread to Jinshengyuan Restaurant immediately. The brothers and sisters first looked at me and you in surprise, and then laughed happily at the same time.

"I admire Xu Congliang more and more. I thought he was a bit crooked at first, but now I think he is even better at doing big things!" "Yes, Qi Chunhai and so many of his buddies were eliminated without firing a single shot. I don't even dare to think about such a good thing. By the way, you can drink a few sips to quench your thirst first. I'll go to the kitchen and get some dishes for you." Lin Dan poured a big bowl of wine for her brother, she knew that every time such a festive occasion, his brother would drink to his heart's content.But Lin Sen took the wine bowl but didn't drink it, but looked at his sister thoughtfully.

"What's the matter with you? Are you dizzy?" "What do you think of Xu Congliang?" Lin Sen suddenly asked. "What about it?" Lin Dan asked strangely. "Although this kid looks evil on the outside, he has such a righteous spirit in his bones, and he has a clever mind. Whoever marries him will definitely enjoy happiness." Lin Sen said while winking at his sister. Lin Dan's face turned red, she glanced at her brother shyly, and said angrily: "You still say you love me, and you are going to marry me off so soon? I think you are really dizzy with joy. What is the situation we are in now? Forgot? The struggle is so severe, and your marriage has not been approved, so you have the time to take care of my affairs."

These words drove away Lin Sen's smile.Just like my sister said, the party organization at this time is in a precarious and critical moment, and even the work of fighting against the enemy is often interrupted and changed for various reasons, not to mention personal life problems.Lin Sen's own marriage report was rejected for various reasons after typing several times, and he still had to apply to his superiors for his sister's marriage, which was undoubtedly a dream come true.What's more, with Xu Congliang's status as a puppet police officer, his superiors would never approve this matter.

Thinking of this, Lin Sen couldn't help sighing, picked up the wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp, but although the hot liquor made the blood in his whole body rush, it couldn't drive away the heavy stone in his heart.He looked at his sister's back and sighed, "It would be great if Xu Congliang could join the organization." Unfortunately, this is just Lin Sen's wishful thinking. At this time, Xu Congliang was enjoying the dishes cooked by the beauty himself in Huyan Xiaoqiu's villa.Huyan Xiaoqiu's culinary skills are more than one level inferior to Lin Dan's. Even the best ingredients can only be cooked, and it is not complete in color and fragrance. However, the wine in her house is a feast for Xu Congliang.In the past, Xu Congliang ate three or four mouthfuls of food and drank a mouthful of wine, but now it's just the opposite.

"What? Do you think my cooking is not tasty?" Huyan Xiaoqiu asked Xu Congliang with a smile.She goes to various restaurants and banquets all day long, and eats countless delicacies from mountains and seas, so she knows the dishes she cooks by heart. Xu Congliang took a big gulp of authentic brandy, and after a good "smack" he looked at Huyan Xiaoqiu.She was wearing a set of casual white woolen home clothes, which were more natural and fresh than the elegant and luxurious ones of the past. Under the loose neckline, part of the white and tender breasts were faintly exposed, making her look charming and sexy.

"Good wine, beautiful woman, these two are in front of me, how can I have the heart to eat food." Xu Congliang stared at Huyan Xiaoqiu bewilderedly, and suddenly said: "By the way, why don't you talk about the look in my eyes now? I remember when I glanced at you before, you gave me cold eyebrows." Huyan Xiaoqiu smiled sweetly: "It used to be the past, but now you are my amulet. I dare not do anything to you, and I am afraid that you will run away." As she said that, she raised her glass and said solemnly: "I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this glass of wine. Without your help, even if I am not in Songze's interrogation room, I am afraid I will be under surveillance and unable to move a single step."

Xu Congliang drank the glass of wine and suddenly sighed.This was beyond Huyan Xiaoqiu's expectation, in the past Xu Congliang was always laughing and joking, it seemed that he had nothing to worry about, it was rare to see him sigh.So he asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Is there something bothering you?" Xu Congliang sighed again: "It's nothing, I suddenly thought of Cai Shengmeng and Qi Chunhai." "Well, what do you think of these two guys?" "It's not that I miss them, but I suddenly feel that life is alive and things are impermanent. You see, the two of them were happy yesterday, but today one is dead, and the other is not far from death. They are living under the noses of little devils." , No one dares to say whether they can open their mouths to eat tomorrow."

Huyan Xiaoqiu burst out laughing: "I believe what other people say, but I don't believe it when it's your turn. A year ago, you were as precarious as a bereaved dog, but look at it now. It rains like rain, not only does it look like a fairy in the police station, but it also does well with the Japanese. With all your thoughtfulness, it will be popular and spicy anywhere." Xu Congliang didn't smile, but looked at Huyan Xiaoqiu obsessively: "I'm not worried about myself, but about you! I know my two brushes best, and I will definitely find a place to hide when something terrible happens. Look, even a gun can't hurt me. But you, what kind of agent are you under Songze's nose, and you'll lose your head if you let your mind go!"

Huyan Xiaoqiu was stunned.Ever since she became a secret agent, she has been wearing a mask all day long on the secret front, and the people she meets on weekdays are also people who play tricks on the spot. When she heard these sincere words, she couldn't help but be deeply moved. Looking at Xu Congliang, the eye sockets couldn't help getting a little moist, and the more he looked at it, the warmer he felt in his heart. When she was falling into reverie, Xu Congliang had already taken out a bunch of keys, pens and paper from her purse. "Come on, wife, you put away this bunch of keys first, and I will tell you the address of our house."

Huyan Xiaoqiu asked in confusion, "What's our address?" "I'm calling my wife one by one, and it can't be for nothing. We have to have a comfortable place, right?" Xu Congliang chuckled, put the key into Huyan Xiaoqiu's hand, and then his face became serious. "To be serious, this is my house in the south of the city. Although it is not big, it is well-designed. I dug a tunnel in it, leading to a few hundred meters away. If there is any dangerous situation, even if you are killed I was surrounded, and I was able to escape smoothly. I also hid two pistols and a few grenades under the floor, just in case. Here is the key for you. In case of emergency, you can evacuate there quickly. By the way, go up I hid the radio station that was removed from your house last time in the fireplace, so don’t send it here, it’s too dangerous.” After speaking, he picked up the pen and paper and began to draw in detail, but he didn't notice that Huyan Xiaoqiu's eyes had started to glisten with tears. "Xu Congliang, why are you so kind to me?" She murmured. "My wife, can I treat you well!" Xu Congliang continued to draw with his head sullen, and joked casually, but he didn't see Huyan Xiaoqiu's response for a long time. When he looked up, he found that two lines of tears had flowed from Huyan Xiaoqiu. streamed out of his eyes. Xu Congliang was taken aback, thinking that his jokes made her unhappy, so he hurriedly said seriously: "To be honest, I treat you well not only because I like you, but also because I admire you. You are a woman who was humiliated to accompany you in order to resist Japan. Next to that old thing in Songze. That’s not counting, and someone else will point at him behind his back. Just for this, I’m such a big man, I’m so in admiration! You’re such a good woman, I can’t marry Xu Congliang. I'm not lucky, if I don't help when I have the ability, then I'm heartless!" After the words fell, Huyan Xiaoqiu's tears had flowed down her neck, she raised her hand to wipe it off, but when she stretched it out, she couldn't help hugging Xu Congliang.Then he lay on his shoulder and wept bitterly. The unspeakable grievances and the pain that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released at this moment, and the mask of the cold beauty was completely left behind by her at this moment. She hugged Xu Congliang tightly, feeling that the whole body was So warm, and heart-warming. After a long time, Huyan Xiaoqiu's sobbing gradually subsided, she glanced at Xu Congliang shyly, then leaned into his ear and murmured: "I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time, don't leave tonight OK, okay?" "Nonsense, hugging your wife to sleep is a matter of course!" Xu Congliang didn't expect that the dream would come true inadvertently, he laughed and carried Huyan Xiaoqiu into the bedroom. The next morning, when Xu Congliang opened his eyes, he found that Huyan Xiaoqiu was staring at him obsessively, with tears still remaining in the corners of his eyes. "What's wrong with you?" Xu Congliang asked hurriedly.Although he often deals with women, and has slept with many beautiful women in Harbin Flower Street and Liuxiang, but these women are always smiling to cater to him, suddenly seeing Huyan Xiaoqiu like this, he was at a loss what to do . "It's nothing, I just want to wait until you get married, won't you stay with me anymore?" Huyan Xiaoqiu said quietly, the sunlight came in from the window, although it made her cheeks smoother and smoother, it also made her cheeks look smoother and smoother. Her sadness and sadness are exposed. "What nonsense." Xu Congliang smiled and pinched her face, "Aren't you my wife?" Huyan Xiaoqiu smiled sourly: "Stop teasing me all the time. How can I be your wife? Even if I am a lover, I still have to risk my head. If you like it, I still can't bear it." Xu Congliang was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.Huyan Xiaoqiu stared at him again for a long time, then smiled suddenly, and returned to her usual flirtatious look: "I see you, it's time to ask for a wife soon, it seems that the boss of Jin Shengyuan's sister is also pretty good!" Regarding the identities of Lin Dan and Lin Sen, Xu Congliang has always been tight-lipped about Huyan Xiaoqiu. Even after planning to kidnap Huyan Xiaoqiu and Matsuzawa Keiko, Xu Congliang did not reveal a word, but only told Huyan Xiaoqiu how many friends he had. communist party.It's not because he pursued Lin Dan and deliberately concealed it, but because the Lin Sen brothers and sisters have repeatedly ordered them not to disclose the information of the Communist Party to Huyan Xiaoqiu.Xu Congliang also understands the reason for this. The two parties are now incompatible. If Huyan Xiaoqiu knows the background of the Lin Dan brothers and sisters, it will easily cause trouble. At this time, when Huyan Xiaoqiu suddenly heard about Lin Dan, and he seemed to know the inside story, Xu Congliang hurriedly asked, "How do you know?" Huyan Xiaoqiu snorted and sat in front of the dressing table in pajamas, While combing her beautiful hair, she smiled and said, "When you have something to do, you run into other people's stores, and look straight at the boss's sister. Others can see it, but I can't? But to be serious, the Lin family The girl is really nice, don't forget to tell me when you two have a wedding banquet." Xu Congliang breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that Huyan Xiaoqiu did not discover the true identity of Lin Dan's brother and sister, but only saw that he was interested in Lin Dan.He laughed and said, "Okay, I'll buy an extra-large bed at that time, how about our 'Trinity'?" Huyan Xiaoqiu burst into laughter, "Why, do you still want to cheat after getting married?" Xu Congliang looked at Huyan Xiaoqiu Linglong's back, smacked his tongue and said: "You have such a hot body, if you don't think about it, you are not a man." "That's right." "Why is it right?" "It is better to let a man spend his time to keep himself than to spend his time to keep a man. This is my philosophy." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Xu Congliang, and suddenly noticed that his lower body had changed again. Huyan Xiaoqiu tossed her freshly combed hair, threw herself on the bed again, and said with a smirk, "Let you think about the 'Trinity' all day long. I will let you die today!" Time flies, and the autumn of 1934 arrived in a blink of an eye. Xu Congliang sat in the rattan chair in the courtyard, watching the dead leaves falling slowly with the wind, and couldn't help but think back to last year at this time, that autumn rainy morning, when he and the sour monkey were still worried about the unpredictable future. "One moment and another moment, things in this world are really unpredictable." He took a sip of freshly brewed Biluochun and sighed. "Sir, are you eating at home tonight? Shall I ask Mrs. Li to cook some of your favorite dishes?" Qiuping, the maid who brought the tea just now, asked.Qiuping, Mrs. Li, and the handyman Wangtou were hired by Xu Congliang a few months ago. They are very reliable. They are the family members of several brothers in the Mu Gang, and they were specially selected by Liu Chuang. Xu Congliang didn't plan to hire him at first, he was used to "depending on each other" with the sour monkey, and he felt uncomfortable if there was one more person, and he was the one who waited on them before and after, so that Xu Congliang couldn't even put his feet down when he returned home understood.But it's impossible not to hire him. The Xu Congliang now is different from a few months ago. Now he is the chief of the Judicial Section and Donation Section of the Police Department, and there is an endless stream of guests who come to the house every day.In addition, he moved to a new house two months ago, this time it is really a house, a small western-style building with a single door and a courtyard, with ten rooms inside and outside, plus a more than 50 square meters, planted with flowers and plants. The courtyard is really too busy without a few servants to take care of it. It stands to reason that Xu Congliang is not qualified to live in such a big house because of his position, but he has always been good at playing tricks.He first let the sour monkeys recruit those sneaky brothers to do some "tricks" in a Japanese villa area from time to time, which caused the theft cases there one after another. A series of cases were cracked "easy and easy", but the ones who were arrested were not the brothers of the sour monkey, but a group of bums who were eating and waiting to die.Afterwards, Xu Congliang also slowly became friendly with more than a dozen Japanese businessmen in the villa area of ​​the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. Although this achievement is not as sensational as the capture of important criminals of the Communist Party and the Kuomintang, it is also unusual in the eyes of Matsuzawa Sonoji. At least all the Japanese businessmen in Harbin praised him. The West"! What leaders want is performance and word of mouth, and the deployment that can meet the needs of leaders will naturally be favored, so at the request of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, Matsuzawa pushed the boat along and asked Xu Congliang to be the chief of the Donation Section of the Police Department. After Cai Shengmeng was dismissed from half of his duties because of the arrest of Li Lijun, Bai Shoutian was temporarily in charge of the donation department, but the word "temporary" was never removed. The judicial department was taken over by Xu Congliang, and after receiving Songze's order, Jin Ronggui naturally obediently handed over the donation department to Xu Congliang.In fact, he is very satisfied with this arrangement in his heart. Apart from the reason that Xu Congliang has become his confidant, Jin Ronggui also feels uneasy because Bai Shoutian is in charge of three important departments. Now through the arrangement of the Japanese, it is logical The land asked Xu Congliang to weaken Bai Shoutian's power, and Jin Ronggui couldn't ask for it.As for Xu Congliang's original "special operations team captain", it was transferred to Wang Qiang's head. Today, although Xu Congliang and Bai Shoutian are in charge of the two departments of the police department, but Wang Qiang's "special operations team" is only Xu Congliang's leader. In this way, Xu Congliang seems to have surpassed Bai Shoutian and became the leader of the police department. number two! Xu Congliang, who was dismissed a year ago and was still in jeopardy, became the second boss of the police department, and he is also highly regarded by the Japanese. Who wouldn't want to curry favor with such a person?Over the past few months, Xu Congliang's wallet has bulged, and he has more titles, such as the honorary president of a certain association, the legal adviser of a certain company, the honorary director of a certain trading company, etc., anyway, they are all false names , and then the fat job of year-end dividends.Xu Congliang never tires of such things. In his words: "If possible, be stronger. It is better to be so strong that people hate it than to be so weak that people are pitiful!" He took this motto to the extreme, not to mention what can't be done when you have money and power these days?Not long after, Xu Congliang put the newly bought house under the name of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and became the Legal Affairs Office of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, and lived in a luxurious mansion justifiably.Of course, the benefits that Xu Congliang got are indispensable to Jin Ronggui. In addition to the small treasury obtained in the private account of the Donation Section, Xu Congliang also divided those bonuses into an independent account and gave them to Jin Ronggui. This time, Jin Ronggui accepted it all with a smile.In his private words to his wife, Xu Congliang is capable and has no ambitions. The only thing he wants is to make more money. This kind of subordinate is the most reassuring subordinate.What he didn't know was that Xu Congliang was thinking much more than he thought. At this time, when Qiuping asked whether he would eat at home tonight, Xu Congliang shook his head and said, "I'm not eating at home, there's still a bar waiting for me at night." Then, he looked at his watch, and it was almost six o'clock in the evening: "Sour Why hasn’t the monkey come back yet? Asking him to go out to do some errands is really a ‘lazy donkey’s trick, shit and pee’.” Qiuping pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Brother Yang may be driving happily, forget about the time. The car you bought a few days ago, Brother Yang will not come back after driving for a few hours." Just as he was talking, the sound of cars driving came from far and near, and finally ended with a sneeze-like brake sound in front of the door.Xu Congliang trembled in his heart, and cursed: "Sour monkey, how many times have I taught you, why are you still driving in a daze!" Following the scolding, the sour monkey ran in panting heavily.In the course of a year, this kid has also changed his guns. He has a snow-white wide-collared shirt paired with stiff suspender trousers, plus a leather vest and shiny black three-cut leather shoes, just like a young man.He pursed his lips while running, and mumbled when he came closer: "Brother, didn't we agree, you call me sour monkey when we are alone, and call me my name when there are people around, you always do that I yelled so loudly that others thought I didn’t have a name.” Xu Congliang laughed and waved his hands to signal Qiuping to go down first, and then asked: "How are things going?" "It's all done. First, I sent a batch of the latest medical books I ordered to the hospital, and I handed them over to Keiko Matsuzawa; then I went to the police stations below with Wang Qiang to check, and nothing happened; finally Went to the Xiehe Hotel again, and finalized the banquet for the city hall councilors tomorrow. I also returned to our dead mailbox on the way, and there was indeed a note from Miss Huyan." With that said, Sour Monkey took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Xu Congliang. Xu Congliang took a look, frowned, and hurriedly got up: "Go, go see Liu Chuang and Lin Sen first, and then I have to go to Miss Huyan." "Okay!" The sour monkey ran out happily, and when Xu Congliang came out, he had already started the car.Ever since Xu Congliang bought this car, Sour Monkey has been as happy as celebrating the New Year every day, driving around all day long, and now he is willing to be Xu Congliang's driver. After driving for a long time, the sour monkey remembered an important matter again, and hurriedly said, "Brother, I forgot to mention one thing just now." "What's up?" "I saw Masaichi Shimamoto today." "Oh? Why did he pop up again? Come and listen!" Xu Congliang's interest suddenly came.After Cai Shengmeng and Qi Chunhai's "collaboration with the enemy" happened, Masaichi Shimamoto was removed from the position of Gendarmerie Captain, and it is said that he was transferred back to China, and the position of Gendarmerie Captain naturally fell to Yoshimura Hidezo. "Today, when I was driving past the Second Division, I suddenly saw Masaichi Shimamoto walking in. That scum was wearing a suit and looked like a dog." Sour Monkey pouted angrily. "He's not wearing a military uniform?" Xu Congliang asked thoughtfully. "No, and he was sneaky, as if he was afraid of being seen by others. You said it was strange, he is a Japanese, and he went to work in his own army, so why should he be afraid?" "Chinese people don't worry at all. He is afraid of being seen by acquaintances, especially people from Songze and Yoshimura." Xu Congliang cast his eyes on the flow of people passing by outside the car, and said worriedly, "He suddenly returned Harbin is still so mysterious, there must be some kind of plan." Not long after, the car drove into the wooden gang camp and stopped at the gate of Liu Chuang's courtyard. From a distance, Xu Congliang saw Caixia and several other women doing needlework in the yard.After getting out of the car and taking a closer look, these women were actually sewing some robes and jackets. Xu Congliang asked strangely: "Why did you change your attire? Can the members of the wooden gang still work in long robes and jackets?" Caixia got up to give Xu Congliang a gift, shook her head and sighed: "Don't mention it, brother Xu, it's not a good thing to have too much business. A few days ago, a man from a prince's mansion in Manchuria found us and asked us to stay in Heguan. When people are doing business, they help them carry goods that squat on the fence (go to prison) and lose their heads. You said that ours offended them, so I had to grit my teeth and take it. No, in order to help them get the goods out, We have to disguise ourselves as businessmen, or if the secret is leaked, we will know that the wood gang did it based on the outfits we wear." Xu Congliang knew what Caixia referred to as "head-dropping, squatting on the fence" goods. They must be in-demand items prohibited by the Japanese. He had heard before that some officials in Manchukuo secretly resold these goods. I thought that the wooden gang was also involved in this. He didn't have any good ideas at the moment, and said with a smile: "Relax, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, just be careful. By the way, are they all here?" Hearing Xu Congliang's question, Caixia leaned into Xu Congliang's ear and smiled, "Sister Lin Dan came over at noon, so I found a free time to check her breath." "How is it? Is there a door?" Xu Congliang asked hurriedly.When he was drinking with Liu Chuang a week ago, he asked Caixia to help test Lin Dan's mind. Caixia blinked and said with a smile: "Whenever I mention you, sister Lin Dan's eyes are shining, and her face turns red at every turn. I think there is a door." Xu Congliang understood that at least there was no obstacle on Lin Dan's side, so he laughed and walked into the house.But Caixia followed closely afterwards and reminded: "Brother Xu, but don't mention this matter today." "how?" "The atmosphere is not right today. Boss Lin and my man also came back just now, and their faces are ugly. It must be that something serious happened." Xu Congliang nodded and stepped into the room.Sure enough, he immediately saw the solemn faces of Lin Sen and Liu Chuang.As for Lin Dan, his eyes lit up when he saw Xu Congliang, and he ran forward and asked, "Have you brought anything?" "You let me go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, let alone such a small matter?" Xu Congliang teased her, and then took out a piece of paper from his shirt pocket, "The police force in northern Harbin is deployed on it, among them There are several places guarded by my people, and I have marked them in detail on the map, you choose the route, and let me know when you are sure, and I will arrange my personnel to ensure that your comrades pass through Harbin safely." A few days ago, Lin Sen and Lin Dan found Xu Congliang for a special mission. The superiors were about to send several comrades to study in the Soviet Union, passing through Harbin. In order to ensure safety, they had to get the police deployment in the north of Harbin.Xu Congliang used his relationship with Jin Ronggui to rack his brains to get a new police deployment plan.Lin Sen and Liu Chuang hurried over to look at the picture together, but Xu Congliang noticed that Lin Sen's face did not relax, and his brows were still furrowed. "Old Lin, is something wrong?" he asked. Lin Sen hummed silently, with a trace of helplessness appearing on his face. "What's the matter, you said it!" Xu Congliang had never seen Lin Sen so indecisive. Lin Sen sighed heavily. Seeing this, Lin Dan tugged Xu Congliang's sleeve and motioned him to come out and speak. Walking out of the house, Xu Congliang asked strangely: "What happened to your brother?" "Things have changed temporarily. My brother has been worrying about this for the past two days. He can't sleep well if he doesn't eat well." Lin Dan said silently. "What's the big deal? Isn't it just that some of your comrades are passing through Harbin on their way to the Soviet Union? According to my map, it's easy to get there!" Xu Congliang was puzzled. "Oh!" Lin Dan hesitated for a moment before saying, "This matter was originally a secret within our organization, but at this juncture, we must ask you for help, so we will not keep it from you. The superior suddenly changed the original plan , and sent a few more comrades to the Soviet Union.” Lin Dan’s voice became softer as he spoke, and the distress on his face became more and more intense. "How many people are there?" "There are more... more than 30 people." Lin Dan took a careful look at Xu Congliang, and then said, "Moreover, there are seven family members and two cars of luggage, including guns and some documents and books." "Your comrades are going to the Soviet Union for vacation, right? There are so many people, and there are so many bags and bags, I'm afraid the devils won't see it, right? And they passed Harbin safely? Isn't that a dream? I don't think it's half a step into Harbin. The devil gave it to me!" Xu Congliang was so angry that he didn't care whether Lin Sen could hear him from inside, and began to curse. Lin Dan's face turned red and pale, but he didn't stop Xu Congliang. He waited for him to scold enough before he said quietly: "You are right, but these comrades go to the Soviet Union to shoulder an important mission. We must obey and fulfill the orders of our superiors." .So, I still have to ask for your help—” Before Xu Congliang could finish speaking, his head turned into a rattle. "Put it down, I can't help you with this job! Doesn't that mean you're going to die? My wife hasn't married yet, and I haven't lived a good life yet. Let me tell you, don't take this risk. If something happens to you , I have to play bachelor!" "The more you talk, the more shameful it becomes!" Lin Dan blushed and punched him hard. "Xu Congliang is right." Her brother's voice sounded from behind her.Lin Dan turned his head and said in shame, "What is he doing to him!" "I mean, it's a risk for so many people to leave Harbin! I decided to apply again to my superiors and adopt the second plan. Even if I am punished and expelled from the party, I will never implement this plan. This is Make fun of the lives of your comrades!" Lin Sen became more and more excited as he spoke, "Only those on the front line know the difficulty of the struggle and the strength of the enemy. Some leaders can command blindly by looking at the map in the rear. The three provinces are just Chiang Kai-shek's non-resistance policy, but the Japanese army's combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, they think things are too simple!" "Brother!" Lin Dan glared at his brother, "You can just talk about these things in private, and don't talk so much when you report to your superiors. Tell me what your second plan is what!" Lin Sen smiled at his sister and turned to Xu Congliang: "The second plan is to divide the troops into two groups. A few important comrades travel lightly and pass through Harbin in disguise. Ershan turned over and walked on a remote mountain road." "Mao'er Mountain?" Xu Congliang knew the place. The shape of the mountain was like a straw hat, so it was called Mao'er Mountain. It was more than 200 miles away from Harbin. Although the mountain was not very high, it was less than a thousand meters away. , but the mountain is very steep, and the surrounding mountain roads are extremely rugged. "Yes, Liu Chuang and I have reconnaissance repeatedly in the past few days. The road leading to the north is only the section of Mao'er Mountain where the devils are the weakest, and the mountain road is rugged. Few people take this road, and the devils are not vigilant. It will be greatly reduced. The most important thing is that there is a very hidden path from Maoershan to Wuchang. We can pull the Wuchang guerrillas here, and we can cover or even block them if necessary. Therefore, we got the Japanese army near Maoershan Specific garrison is the top priority." Xu Congliang took out a cigarette, handed one to Lin Sen, lit it up and smoked it slowly, and said after a while: "With the 180 guns of your Wuchang guerrilla team, how dare you fight the devils? As far as I know, there are garrisons there. With a squadron, aren't you hitting an egg on a rock?" "I understand this truth. Naturally, we won't fight the devils. Our purpose is to block and cover." Lin Sen laughed. "And I, I can pull out a lot of brothers with good marksmanship from the wooden gang. Counting the guns we have, it's no problem to pull out a hundred people!" Liu Chuang also came out and said boldly. Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Xu Congliang stopped dissuading him, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped hard, and said, "Okay, I'll think of a way these days to see if I can get the information you want Got it." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Dan, suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked to Lin Sen's side and whispered a few words. Lin Sen smiled and nodded while listening, making Lin Dan full of question marks.After Xu Congliang and the sour monkey left, she hurriedly grabbed her brother: "What did Xu Congliang tell you?" "On one condition, this kid started bargaining with me." "What conditions?" "He said that if he got the information, on the day of the operation, he would go to our Jinsheng Garden for a drink or two, and ask for the dishes you cooked by name." Lin Dan kept silent, secretly sweet in his heart.She knew that Xu Congliang meant that she would not be allowed to participate in this operation. After getting out of the wooden gang, Xu Congliang got into the car and changed into a set of coarse clothes, let the sour monkey drive him to a small street and got out of the car. Then Xu Congliang changed into three rickshaws and came to a house in the south of the city. In front of a dilapidated house. He looked carefully for a few minutes, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he took out his key and quickly opened the door and walked in.As soon as he entered the room, he smelled Huyan Xiaoqiu's perfume, took a few steps and rushed into the back room, and hugged Huyan Xiaoqiu who was sending the report. "Seeing how anxious you are, I came here to discuss business with you!" Huyan Xiaoqiu pinched the two bad hands that were pressing on her breasts a few times. "Don't delay the business." Xu Congliang smiled, and kept rubbing his hands, until Huyan Xiaoqiu sent the message and gave him a hard twist before retracting his hand in an "ouch". Huyan Xiaoqiu glared at Xu Congliang, and while arranging the front of his chest, he asked, "How is your relationship with Matsuzawa Keiko recently?" "What? Let me marry Lin Dan, and let me marry the second wife?" "Speak seriously! What are you talking about?" "It's okay, what's the matter?" Xu Congliang wondered why Huyan Xiaoqiu suddenly mentioned Matsuzawa Keiko. "Her birthday will be in a few days. Matsuzawa Enji holds a banquet for her daughter's birthday at home every year. If you have a good relationship with Matsuzawa Keiko, Keiko may invite you to attend." Seeing Huyan Xiaoqiu's weird smile, Xu Congliang understood a little bit. In the past few months, just like his official career, the relationship between Xu Congliang and Matsuzawa Keiko has become closer and closer. Every half a month or so, he would find a reason to visit the hospital, and the joy in Matsuze Keiko's eyes became more and more intense. More and more, Xu Congliang could feel that Keiko seemed to like him, but he could only pretend to be confused.It's not a good thing to fall in love with Matsuzawa Sonoji's daughter, you might put your own head on it. If Huyan Xiaoqiu hadn't begged him to do so, Xu Congliang would definitely not be so concerned. He once asked Huyan Xiaoqiu why he was asked to do this.Huyan Xiaoqiu said mysteriously: "Songze pays more and more attention to intelligence protection now, and many confidential documents are stored at home. I must find a helper who has the opportunity to enter his home!" Xu Congliang looked at Huyan Xiaoqiu suspiciously: "You mean to take this opportunity to steal information from Songze's house?" "Of course!" Huyan Xiaoqiu winked, "I want to transfer Songze and steal information, I can't do these things alone." Xu Congliang was speechless, he let out a long sigh and leaned back, but he forgot that he was not sitting on the sofa at home, but a chair without a back, and suddenly fell on all fours. Regardless of the pain, he got up and pointed at his head exaggeratedly, and shouted at Huyan Xiaoqiu: "Please, you let me get close to Keiko Matsuzawa just to help you steal information at the annual birthday party? The price is too high." Isn't it too big?" "Not much." Huyan Xiaoqiu said solemnly. "Besides, it's a matter of letting nature take its course. If you didn't save Keiko Matsuzawa that time, no matter how courteous you were, they wouldn't pay attention to you. No matter how much I think about this plan, it's useless." "After a long time, it's my fault?" Xu Congliang looked at Huyan Xiaoqiu angrily. "How dare you! Besides, I can't bear to push my husband to Huizi." Huyan Xiaoqiu twisted Xiaoman's waist and sat in Xu Congliang's arms, his bones suddenly brittle again, and the grievance disappeared immediately. "Okay, tell me what information you want." As Xu Congliang spoke, his hands became disheveled again, but after Huyan Xiaoqiu said a few words in his ear, Xu Congliang's hands stopped moving. He looked at the woman in his arms in astonishment, and murmured: "If it's for this matter, I'm worth it even if I was raped by Keiko Matsuzawa!" After breaking up with Huyan Xiaoqiu, Xu Congliang hurried to the Central Hospital of Manchurian Railway, and bought a large bouquet of bright roses at a flower shop on the way.走进医院大门，许从良一溜小跑，跑得气喘吁吁之后又在花坛里抓起一撮浮土，顺着风往脸上扬了扬，弄得像风尘仆仆地赶了几百里路一样。 松泽惠子没想到许从良会这个样子走进办公室，她张大了嘴，愣了好几秒才急忙问道：“你怎么这副打扮？” 许从良将鲜花小心翼翼地捧给惠子，然后撤后几步抖了抖粗布褂子上的尘土笑道：“有一个案子需要乔装打扮，我就换了这身行头。” “那……那花呢？”惠子隐隐明白，却禁不住问，想从许从良口中得到满意的回答。 “过几天你不就过生日了嘛，我一想这个案子可能要办好几天，怕来不及送给你礼物，于是腾出点空就赶紧过来了。”许从良编瞎话早已驾轻就熟，脸不红心不跳地继续说下去，“只是时间太紧了，来不及去给你挑你喜欢的礼物，就带了一束花过来。” 还没等他说完，松泽惠子已笑盈盈地抚摸起那束鲜花，娇羞地说：“这比什么礼物都让我喜欢。” 许从良见目的达到，看了下手表，装模作样地惊道：“哎呀，我得走了，那个案子还等着我去办呢！”说罢他拔腿就要出门。 “等一下！”松泽惠子急忙叫住他。 "how?" “大后天你的案子能办完吗？” 许从良故意沉吟了片刻，像是思索的样子，然后点点头：“应该没问题，有事吗？” “大后天我爸爸要在家里给我办一个宴会，我想让你也来，好吗？” 许从良心里欢喜，嘴上犹豫道：“我一个警察厅的小科长，这样的好事哪能轮到我呢？” “人家就问你想不想来嘛！”松泽惠子噘起了小嘴。 “当然想了。”许从良急忙应道。 惠子笑了：“那就好，我过生日自然要请我的救命恩人呀，爸爸肯定能答应我。只是那天你别来晚了呀！” 许从良听得心花怒放，不过他没忘了一件重要的事，他微微皱起眉头，商量道：“惠子小姐，要是单独请我恐怕有点不妥，倒不如以邀请我们金厅长的名义顺便带上我，这样就自然得多了。” 松泽惠子扑哧笑出了声：“你的心可真细。” “细点不好吗？男人心细会更疼女人的。”许从良笑着接了一句，也发现惠子瞅他的目光更加含情脉脉了。 三天之后的傍晚，许从良和金荣桂西装革履地步入了松泽园治的豪宅。 松泽的府邸坐落在松花江畔，是一幢三层哥特式风格的古典建筑外加偌大的草坪花园。此时，花园里已经被彩灯点缀得五光十色，洁白典雅的餐桌餐椅在花坛的簇拥下被错落有致地摆放在草坪中，餐桌上精美的餐刀餐叉在五彩灯光的映衬下闪烁着银白的光芒。客人们已经来了不少，气派的西装、华丽的晚礼服、高档香烟的烟雾和芬芳的法国香水气息荡漾在空中，再加上一盘盘水果、点心的香气和此起彼伏的笑声，俨然一派歌舞升平的景象。 嘉宾中许从良发现了不少熟悉的面孔：宪兵队队长吉村秀藏、小林觉，市政府的几个要员和他们的亲属，除此以外，自然还有呼延小秋。 呼延小秋身着一袭亮丽典雅的晚礼服陪着几名达官贵人聊着天，她也发现了许从良，不过没有打招呼，只是冲他微笑着眨了一下眼睛。许从良见没什么异状，心情放松下来，趁这个机会走到吉村秀藏面前和他攀谈起来。 和许从良在警察厅的飞黄腾达一样，吉村现在也是春风得意。挤走了岛本正一，坐上了宪兵队的头把交椅，让这个侦探出身的军人志得意满。 “惺惺相惜”这个词用在这两个人身上确实再适合不过了。见许从良举着香槟向自己走过来，吉村秀藏笑着迎上前：“许科长也来了，前些日子在你们的配合下，又清理了一批反满抗日分子，有你在警察厅，我的宪兵队的担子轻了很多啊。” 许从良笑道：“吉村队长客气了，我们只是做些外围的工作，关键的还不是都靠宪兵队？再者说，警察厅就是有那么点功劳，也是金厅长领导有方，负责执行的也是特别行动队的王强队长，我何功之有呵。” 吉村和许从良碰了一下杯，像朋友一样不以为然地摇摇头说：“许队长这番话可就是官场上的客套话了，我还不清楚吗？那些案件的侦破都是你亲手负责的，至于特别行动队，那还不是你许从良的大本营？” 许从良也不隐瞒自己的心思，接茬道：“这还不多亏了你这位宪兵队队长！正所谓'士为知己者死'，如果宪兵队仍然是岛本任队长，他根本不会信任我们警察厅，我就是使出浑身解数去配合，他的眼睛里也看不到啊！”夸赞完吉村，许从良话题一转，压低声音问道：“吉村队长，岛本大佐最近有消息吗？他不会再被调回哈尔滨任职吧？” “哦……这个……我还真不大清楚，不过他即便回来，也不会在宪兵队任职了，许君你就放宽心吧。” 许从良一直偷偷瞄着吉村的反应，他能感觉出吉村这番话闪烁其辞，看来吉村知道岛本回来了。 想到这里，许从良准备借这个机会再套出一些消息来，但正当他开口欲问的时候，欢快的乐曲声突然响了起来，紧跟着热烈的掌声也响彻在花园里。他抬眼看去，只见松泽惠子正挽着松泽园治的胳膊盈盈而出。惠子身着一身洁白的百褶裙，既典雅大方又不失清纯靓丽。松泽园治也是衣冠楚楚，脸上洋溢着慈祥的笑容。 “他妈的，谁能想到这家伙穿上军装以后就变成杀人不眨眼的恶魔呢！”许从良在心里连啐带骂了好几句，脸上却带着笑容和众人一起拍起了巴掌。 紧接着，松泽父女先后开始致辞了，许从良是左耳朵进、右耳朵出，根本没听他们说什么，他的一双小眼睛只是滴溜溜地四下窥视，等到松泽父女致辞完毕、花园里再度响起掌声和乐曲声的时候，许从良也已将周围的情况瞅得一清二楚，并没发现异常的状况。 “许君，你慢用，我失陪一下。”这时，吉村秀藏礼貌地和许从良打了个招呼，快步向松泽惠子走去。 许从良知道，一向对松泽惠子心生爱慕之情的吉村去献殷勤去了，他乐得这样，要是这一晚上吉村都陪在惠子身边才好！ 远远地，人群中有一束目光向他投来，那是呼延小秋。许从良明白，那意思是要他耐心等候。于是许从良端着酒杯走进人群，和相熟的人热烈攀谈起来。 优美的乐曲响了几首之后，天色也越发黑暗，呼延小秋走到松泽身边，笑盈盈地说：“天色正好，不如现在就放烟花？” “呵呵，好，小林觉君，你去布置吧。”松泽笑着冲小林觉摆摆手。 远处的许从良早就盯着松泽的一举一动，按照呼延小秋探听到的情况，烟花是在花园靠近江边的一角燃放，那个时候所有的客人都会聚集在那一侧，也是人们兴奋度最高的时刻，在这个时候许从良潜进松泽的书房也很难被人察觉。打开保险箱对于许从良来说早已不是什么难事，和呼延小秋鱼水尽欢的空暇里，他已经从呼延小秋那里学了一整套的特工技术。之前他也进行过十数次的实验，不到五分钟就能把保险柜打开，再加上拍摄照片所用的时间，估计十分钟之内就能得手。 许从良想得很美，但就当客人们开始向花园的一角移动的时候，一个人却向许从良走了过来。许从良的头一下子就大了，想躲开已经来不及了，只好硬着头皮迎了上去。 “惠子小姐，生日快乐。” 松泽惠子含笑走到许从良面前，小手一伸：“我的生日礼物呢？” 许从良一愣，忙道：“刚才进门的时候我已经把礼物交给管家了。” 惠子失望地瞅了他一眼：“我想要你亲自给我嘛。” 许从良赔笑道：“我一个小警察，拿不出贵重的礼物，怎么好意思当面交给你？对了，烟花就要燃放了，这可是专门为你准备的啊，你还不快去看看！” 说完，许从良就后悔了，想把话收回来，也已经来不及了。松泽惠子冲他一努嘴：“既然你的礼物没亲自送到我手上，看烟花你总得陪我看吧？” 许从良没辙了，咬着牙迈动了步子。心里暗自盘算：只好先陪她看一会儿烟花，然后找个机会再溜出来吧，但那样的话，时间够用吗？ 他正犯着愁，另一个女人款款地向这里走来。许从良心里又是一喜，没等那女人来到近前就打起了招呼：“呼延小姐今天的打扮真是出水芙蓉一样呵。” 呼延小秋淡淡一笑，却没搭腔，径直走到松泽惠子面前拉着她的手，小声说：“惠子，我有事找你，咱们边看烟花边说吧？” “什么事呀？”惠子恋恋不舍地看了眼许从良。 “是关于你的终身大事。”呼延小秋俏笑着，然后回头瞥了一眼许从良，“许科长，我和惠子小姐有点私房话，你还要听呀？”许从良心领神会，忙摇着手离开。 他跟在客人们的后面，慢悠悠地走到一处假山后面，然后点燃一根香烟，像是抽空吸一支烟的样子。不多时，随着“嗖嗖”的喷射声，绚烂的烟花升上了夜空，将花园上空点缀得五彩斑斓，混合着赞叹声和欢呼声此起彼伏。许从良四下又打量一遍，撇下烟头，飞快地闪进松泽家中。按照呼延小秋给他画的图，许从良很快就找到了书房的所在，他从裤兜里掏出一个细长的如同发簪一样的金属玩意，插进锁眼，小心翼翼地拧动着。这是他新学的另一门技术，老师自然是精通于此道的酸猴子。 十几秒之后，随着“咔嗒”一声，书房的门开了。许从良忙闪身进去，把门轻轻带上之后，他直奔书架，他盯着书柜第二层里的书，足足一分多钟，直到将每一本书的摆放位置都烂熟于心后，再把这些书小心地搬了出来。他戴上事先准备好的手套，小心地把书柜里面的一个暗格打开，一个小保险柜露了出来。许从良把手指轻轻搭在保险柜的转盘锁上，缓缓地旋转着，屏气静听每一下咔嗒声。 呼延小秋此时正陪在松泽惠子身边，一束束升起的烟花不但映红了夜空，也将惠子的脸颊映得粉嫩潮红。呼延小秋看着惠子娇嫩的面颊，笑问：“惠子，想过你的终身大事没有？” 惠子含羞地一笑，瞅着天空中绚烂的烟花喃喃地说：“想又怎么样？即便我想得如醉如痴，别人无动于衷有什么法子？” 呼延小秋心里咯噔一下，她知道惠子说的是许从良，正因为知道，她的心里才莫名地涌上一股酸楚。她忽然想到了自己和许从良，虽然在一起的时候快乐无比，就像这璀璨的烟花一样，但总有一天也会怦然一声四散开去，在最绚烂的片刻之后回归寂静。 生日宴会结束后，呼延小秋直接回了家。许从良在一家小酒馆里喝了三两小烧，外加一盘炝土豆丝和一盘酱牛肉后，才趁着夜色溜进了呼延小秋家。 “怎么样，我的拍摄技术不错吧？”许从良进屋之后忙问。 “不错，相当清楚。”呼延小秋草草地回答了一句后，就盘腿卧进沙发里，若有所思地看着茶几上摊着的刚刚冲洗出来的照片。 照片足有四五十张，许从良因为看不懂那些日文，所以把保险箱里的文件一个不落地全都拍了照。此刻见呼延小秋的样子，他以为是拍摄的太多了，于是笑道：“以后你教我一些日文，我就能看懂了，免得拍出一大堆东西累你眼睛。” 呼延小秋摇摇头，求助似的看着许从良：“不是资料多，而是有点迷糊，这些情报和我们原来设想的不太一样，你帮我分析分析。” “怎么呢？日本人没有国宝的情报？”许从良把外裤脱掉，盘腿坐在地毯上。 在执行任务之前，呼延小秋就把内情告诉了许从良：一个名叫罗斯基的欧洲考古学家长期以来在中国进行文物收藏活动，说文物收藏是好听的，难听点儿就是连偷带骗。根据情报，他“收藏”了很多价值连城的中国国宝，其中最著名的是一尊唐代的金佛。这尊纯金佛像重达一百五十多斤，制作精美，价值连城，但更重要的是它的来历。 唐代咸亨元年，也就是公元670年，日本国遣使入唐，向当时如日中天的唐王朝俯首称臣，并献上了这件宝物，金佛底座上还镌刻着铭文，大意就是日本国永世称臣，归顺于大唐天朝。如此一来，这件国宝就成了无价之宝，而在如今的日本人看来，这却是一桩巨大的心头之痛，堂堂的大日本帝国怎能让这段历史的见证存留于世呢？于是日本关东军特务组织也已经注意到了罗斯基，始终在进行秘密监视，试图找到这件国宝的下落。而罗斯基已经由北平来到哈尔滨，准备经由苏联回国，估计就会带走这件举世闻名的宝物。呼延小秋得到的指令就是抢在日本人之前找到线索，得到这件本属于中国的国宝！ 呼延小秋拿出几张照片，上面照的是一张文件上密密麻麻的日文。“关于罗斯基以及国宝的情报很多，但是都仅限于在哈尔滨的秘密监视，而罗斯基在北平的情报根本没有。” “那发现什么线索没有？” 呼延小秋叹了口气：“从情报上看，这个罗斯基看起来已经发现有人觊觎'他的'宝贝，所以把这件国宝神不知鬼不觉地藏了起来。松泽的部署自然很详细，执行下去也应该不打折扣，但是他的手下费尽九牛二虎之力却没发现一丝一毫国宝的下落。而从仅有的一份关于罗斯基在北平的情报来看，罗斯基应该把这件宝贝带到了哈尔滨，至少到目前为止，北平方面也没发现线索。但北平方面具体是怎么调查的就不得而知了。” 呼延小秋介绍完情况，房间里也陷入了寂静，许从良思忖半天，打破了沉寂：“问题只出在北平和哈尔滨，松泽的能耐咱们都知道，要是有国宝的线索，这老东西就是闻也能闻出气味来，我估计还是北平那边的特工出了纰漏。” “我也是这么想的。”呼延小秋眉头未解，“但问题是，如果国宝还在北平，罗斯基为什么要经由哈尔滨去苏联呢？难道把国宝藏在北平，他能放心？” 许从良看着呼延小秋凝神苦思的样子，越瞅越心里越是痒痒，禁不住又挨到她身边，手也摸向呼延小秋的腰。 “又干啥？”呼延小秋瞪了许从良一眼。 “嘿嘿，总琢磨这事情太累脑子，得活动活动别的地方，让脑子休息一下。” “呸！”呼延小秋乐出了声，“那你以前脑子累的时候，你就找酸猴子活动别的地方？” 许从良一下子被她弄得脸红脖子粗，讪讪地把手收了回去，可就在这一瞬间，他眼前猛地一亮！ 他一拍大腿，兴奋地说：“如果北平和哈尔滨都没有线索的话，那还剩下一个地方！” “你是说从北平开往哈尔滨的火车吧？”呼延小秋无奈地摇摇头，“这个我也想到了，在松泽的情报里也有关于这期间的调查记录。” “也是没线索？”许从良失望地问。 “嗯，罗斯基是和一个外交使团一起坐火车来哈尔滨的，鉴于这个因素，日本特工没法在车上动手，只是暗中监视。同时，在进入满洲国境内以后，还以安全保护为由，派人分五个路段乘坐机车一路尾随，就是怕罗斯基在列车行进途中将国宝调包。如果罗斯基在途中和车外人调包，肯定会被发现。结果，一路都很正常，根本没出现意外情况。” 许从良彻底没辙了，悻悻地叹了口气后，忽然又想起一件事，忙问呼延小秋：“对了，这些情报里有没有帽儿山附近的军队布防资料？” “没注意，你这是又给谁搜集情报呵？”呼延小秋笑问。 “哎呀，我要运点私货，不把路探明白了怎么行。你赶快帮我找找。”许从良忙把话题引开。 呼延小秋也不追问，翻弄起了桌子上的照片，一边翻一边说：“特务机关本部怎么会有那些资料？那些军队的部署情报应该在第二师团才有。” “万一有呢，那不就是得来全不费工夫了吗。” 许从良这话刚说完，呼延小秋就惊喜地说：“哎呀，还真有关于帽儿山的布防情报。” 许从良忙问：“上面怎么说的？” 呼延小秋仔细地看了一遍，狐疑地说：“怪事怎么都赶在一起了？第二军团的兵力部署本来不该在松泽这里，这是其一；其二，这份情报里还涉及了好几处密语，从字体上来看是松泽写的，不过我猜不出是什么意思，但显而易见帽儿山附近肯定有什么事情吸引了松泽的注意。” 许从良听完，把照有这份情报的照片塞进内衣口袋里，然后走进厨房，点起一根香烟抽了起来。确实如呼延小秋所说，这份情报虽然探听到了，却让他的不安感越来越浓，随着烟雾缭绕起来，他竟有一种寒战的感觉。 呼延小秋也似乎受了传染，她将这些情报又仔细地看了一遍后，拿到浴室里将这些东西都烧成灰烬，然后把胶卷小心翼翼地塞进一个药瓶里。她看了看手表，已经是凌晨三点多钟，于是对许从良说：“趁天还没亮，你赶紧走，我总觉得最近怪事多，莫名其妙地害怕。” 许从良一边穿着外套一边笑道：“这世界上还有让你害怕的事情？” 呼延小秋正色道：“我不是说笑，没有发现的恐怖才是真正的恐怖。我最近和上峰发密电的过程中，感觉上峰虽然要我探听国宝的下落，但是给我提供的信息却有限，不知道是什么原因。” “或许在哈尔滨还有一个'银狐'，她也受你们上峰的调遣呢？” 许从良本是一句玩笑话，呼延小秋却脸色一变，喃喃道：“你说的还真有可能，但果真如此的话，为什么要瞒着我呢？” 见她疑神疑鬼的样子，许从良忙转开了话题：“对了，还有一件事我也觉得蹊跷，酸猴子今天看见岛本正一了，这家伙鬼鬼祟祟地去了第二师团，真是奇怪，他怎么突然冒出来了？” “肯定是来者不善，我以前听松泽园治无意中提过一句，似乎岛本被派到北平去了。但具体做什么连他都不知道。” 许从良没应声，而是陷入了沉思。忽然，他惊喜地说：“难道他也是为了那件国宝而来？情报上不是说日本的特务在北平也展开了调查吗？岛本会不会就是北平那面的负责人？” “有可能呢！”呼延小秋双眸放光，“我得赶紧把这个情况汇报给上峰，让他们派人在第二师团下点工夫，探听一下岛本来哈尔滨的目的。你要是有什么消息也立刻通知我呀！” 这个夜晚，松泽园治也没有心情早早进入梦乡。虽然女儿的笑颜让他开心不已，当生日宴会结束，女儿回到自己房间以后，松泽的心思立刻转到了另一件事上。吉村秀藏坐在沙发里，看着老师把书房的门关严，脸上也不见笑容，心知他让自己留下一定有重要的事情要说。 起初吉村心里萌出一个念头，以为松泽要和他谈惠子的事情，但见到松泽园治从保险柜里拿出一叠材料以后，他知道刚才是自作多情了。 “老师，是有什么事情要我做吗？”吉村忙站起来，谦恭地问。 “你先仔细看看。”松泽园治将材料交给吉村。 吉村看了几页，神情便凝重起来，全部看完后他倒抽一口凉气：“老师，难道岛本正一来哈尔滨就是为了调查这件宝物的？” “自从他被撤职以后，我就没了他的消息。你想想看，连我都不知道他被派往何处，他的任务该有多么秘密？我现在敢肯定，岛本来哈尔滨就是为了这件宝物。”松泽将一盏茶递给吉村，提醒道，“你可要当心啊，岛本这个人一向心高气傲，他在哈尔滨栽了跟头，肯定想方设法要爬起来，这件事情他如果成功了，你的位置就悬了。” 吉村沉吟道：“他去第二师团肯定是有目的的，我估计他即便没有确凿的线索，可能也有了侦破的方向，他去第二师团肯定是请求调兵协助，因为宪兵队和特务机关本部他根本调不走一个人，也不敢声张。所以，他只有去第二师团。” 松泽园治满意地一笑：“不愧是我的学生，一语中的，这件事情就交给你来负责，一方面要追查这件宝物的下落，同时也要派人盯着岛本，绝不能让他把功劳抢了去！” 许从良睡得不好，越琢磨越觉得不对劲，第二天一大早就赶到了金盛
