Chapter 7 Chapter VII
The appearance of the Japanese made Yang Bingxin's head seem to explode.This Japanese devil has bright scars all over his head and face. Even his own brothers may not be able to recognize his true face. He must have been burned or injured by the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians during the invasion of China.But this guy Feng Jiusi was actually dealing with this guy in secret, and even grandly invited the Japanese in in front of him, bowing and bowing politely in a foreign language he couldn't understand.
When Yang Bingxin and Ms. Lan stayed upstairs awkwardly, Ms. Lan sat on the bed in the room and massaged her wrists, while he stood at the foot of the stairs and held his pistol tightly. He couldn't help thinking wildly, worrying that the Japanese devils would kill Feng Jiusi , or Feng Jiusi led the Japanese devils upstairs to kill him and Miss Lan.
What kind of person is Feng Jiusi? How could there be such a person among our comrades?He couldn't figure it out.Therefore, after he went back to report to the leader on the work situation of the past two days, and arranged Feng Jiusi's request, he hesitated again and again, and finally decided to report to the leader that Feng Jiusi was in contact with the Japanese, because it was a solid fact , At the same time, he is also responsible for letting the leaders know everything.
After listening to his report, the leader pondered for a long time, and finally said to him: "Some things should be told to you now, do you know why the party organization gave such a severe punishment to the 'civet cat'? Why did you and Feng Jiusi both Restricted use?"
Yang Bingxin has a lot of questions waiting for the leaders to answer.The leader went on to say: "The 'Yoshida incident' has indeed brought huge losses to our party. You may not know that in 1939, both the US government and the Soviet government decided to secretly support the Chinese Nationalist government and the Communist Party in the joint resistance war, and prepared A large number of military supplies and loans, but on the issue of whether to use these aids to arm the Eighth Route Army, there are great differences within the US government, and the attitude of the Soviet government is not very clear, and the Nationalist government is even more unwilling to see our Communist Party in the It grew stronger with the support of foreign aid; unfortunately, at this critical moment, you created the "Yoshida incident", which made our party organization appear very uncivilized and rude internationally, and did not abide by the international rules of engagement; the West The leaders of the country are all weirdos. In their view, compared with the 'Yoshida incident', there is nothing to blame for the massive defeat of the national government..."
The "Yoshida Incident" would actually affect the interests and future of the entire party. Yang Bingxin had never thought of this, and it was impossible to think of it. So he realized that the mistakes he made were indeed serious, and no matter how the leaders punished them, it would not be an exaggeration.The leader went on to say: "After the 'Yoshida Incident', we launched a thorough investigation, and as a result, an intelligence agent sent us an important piece of information, suspecting that the 'civet cat' pretended to repair machines in the printing factory to earn extra money, but in fact it was in private. contact with KMT agents, and this relationship has been going on for some time, but what they did has never been found out; now you understand why we punished him? Even so, we did not immediately treat him as The traitor was executed, but he wanted to observe for a while, so as not to wrong the good comrade; but what we didn't expect was that he was sacrificed in the later action..."
After hearing these words, Yang Bingxin realized that the party organization did not just believe the evidence provided by Feng Jiusi and the testimonies of his comrades, but had other important information to prove that his brother-in-law was suspicious.He had to believe in the organization, no matter how many things he didn't understand, he had to trust the organization. At this time, his idea became more and more firm, and the little doubts he had about the leadership in the past suddenly disappeared.
The leader also said: "We have never been sure about Comrade Feng Jiusi. He was transferred from Shanghai to Tianjin eight years ago with organizational connections. His public identity was the deputy director of the police department in the British Concession; but the situation was chaotic Not long after the Shanghai Party Central Committee was destroyed, the Party Central Committee was also forced to move to the Soviet Area, so we couldn't fully trust him; It’s just that this comrade’s behavior, demeanor, and thinking are very problematic, so we have been unable to let him go; Later, the “Yoshida incident” occurred, and he did not appear at the explosion site that day, nor could we Said he played any bad role in this incident, in fact, you know, he completed the work assigned to him, however, shortly thereafter, our most trusted intelligence agent sent us a report confirming that Feng Jiusi has an extremely deep relationship with Zhou Xiaocun, and he has never reported this aspect of his activities to the organization. In addition, this incident involves the 'Kingfisher' who has left the party, which makes people even more suspicious; You can understand the example. When you detonated a bomb in front of Jiro Yoshida’s house and mistakenly created a far-reaching international incident, what do you think Feng Jiusi was doing? He was going to the racetrack with Zhou Xiaocun to have a secret talk with the British consul..."
Yang Bingxin asked: "Then what should I do?" The leader said with a smile: "We have always trusted you, and you have been wronged in the past two years, but if you and Feng Jiusi were not allowed to undergo censorship together, we would not have the opportunity today. Let you get close to Feng Jiusi." Yang Bingxin thought that he suddenly understood the intention of the leader, and hurriedly said: "I see, if a comrade like me who is under scrutiny is allowed to work with Feng Jiusi, if he is a traitor, he will definitely do everything possible to lure me to betray party……"
The leader said: "It's not that simple. We have been observing Feng Jiusi's situation these years, and we also know about his relationship with the Japanese Ogura, but he may become too valuable and important in the future. Therefore, if we abandon this comrade without conclusive evidence, or even 'dispose' him as a traitor, this is irresponsible to the party's cause and irresponsible to comrades."
Yang Bingxin asked: "Then what should I do?" The leader said: "Your task is very difficult. The first is to investigate this serial murder case and catch the murderer to avenge the comrades who died; the second is to dig deep into the truth about Feng Jiusi. , find out whether he is a good party member, or a dissident, and whether he is even a traitor hiding in the party."
Yang Bingxin asked again: "What should I do?" The leader said: "Assist Feng Jiusi to solve the case as soon as possible, and at the same time carefully observe, make bold attempts, pay attention to all his social relations, and find out who he is; According to intelligence from the Soviet Union, the international situation may undergo major changes in the near future, and the local security situation will also become very unfavorable to us. At that time, the party organization will need the social relations that Feng Jiusi has mastered, and at the same time, it is very worried that he will betray us. Therefore, the final conclusion about this comrade will mainly rely on the information you provided to make a judgment, you have to be careful..."
"Guaranteed to complete the task." Yang Bingxin felt a wave of high-spirited emotions. The "civet cat" matter was finally clarified, and he no longer resented Feng Jiusi, but the reminder from the leader made him have new doubts about Feng Jiusi.He had to think clearly about where to start the investigation, because, from the leader's conversation, he finally understood whether Feng Jiusi was a good guy or a bad guy, and the leader had to wait for him to bring back the news before reaching a conclusion, which meant that his Feng Jiusi's future, even life and death, is in his hands.
Before breaking up, the leader told him that he would arrange for him to meet someone.The leader said: "This comrade is code-named 'Bailing' and is our most important intelligence agent. If it weren't for the importance of identifying Feng Jiusi, we would never let this comrade take the risk to come forward; she has a deep understanding of Feng Jiusi. , I will arrange for you to talk to her, which will help your work."
At this time, Yang Bingxin was puzzled, and quickly asked: "Why is Feng Jiusi so important?" The leader said, "This is not something you should know, don't even think about it, do you hear me?"
"I heard." Yang Bingxin was dissatisfied in his heart, what's so important about a stinking policeman in the concession.However, he also knew that the leaders must have their intentions in doing so, and the complexity and ingenuity in it were definitely beyond his comprehension, so there was no need to worry about it.Even so, he asked again: "I'm investigating the murder case with Feng Jiusi. Because other comrades are involved, he keeps asking me for information. What should I do?" Therefore, as long as it does not endanger the safety of comrades, you can tell him what you should say, but you must not reveal the 'Lark' to him." Yang Bingxin said: "If he is a traitor, the party organization What should we do if the situation is leaked?" The leader shook his head, as if in pain, but also as if he said helplessly: "He won't have this kind of opportunity, we won't take such a big risk, once we find out that he is a traitor , you can act on your own without asking for instructions." Yang Bingxin asked: "Will I get rid of him?" The leader said: "Yes. This is an extremely important job. The organization trusts you. Besides, after you finish screening Feng Jiusi I still need to go to Shenyang for my work, and they are anxiously waiting for you to go there..."
Yang Bingxin knew that Shenyang was the old nest of the Japanese army in Manchukuo, working there, the possibility of him returning alive was very slim.If it doesn't work, let Dafu's mother marry another person, so that she won't have to wait at home, and at the same time, it can also save the leader from taking care of them - on this matter, he really can't make up his mind.
The meeting with "Lark" was scheduled for 4:30 in the afternoon. He happened to have time to go to the goods yard to earn some money, and then go home to see how the boy Dafu was doing.God, please don't let that child die...
But, let him decide Feng Jiusi's life and death alone?Maybe he has to kill this guy himself.He felt that the leader had put too much burden on him, and he couldn't bear it...
Yang Bingxin felt lucky to be able to escape from the freight yard alive.
After bidding farewell to the leader, he came to the freight yard, just in time to load the trucks, the manager said with a grim smile: "Today, there are more than a hundred people waiting to pick up your 'cheap firewood'. Be careful." He knew that he hadn't eaten his lunch yet, and he didn't have a single coin in his pocket, so if he couldn't make any mistakes, he must earn money this time.
Today, large cotton bales of two hundred catties were loaded onto the train, stacked one by one.The closed car was pulled from the yard, and the doors on both sides were opened to allow ventilation and to illuminate the interior of the car.There are two people in each carriage responsible for stacking goods, and Yang Bingxin carries the cotton packing cart with other workers.
He was worried about his cotton robe and felt hat, worried that they would be stolen again like last time, so he entrusted the attendant to put them in his hut.The person in charge said that you have learned to be good this time, but you have to buy me a pack of cigarettes after you are done.He knew that this request from the steward was not too much, because there is no such thing as ordering people without spending money these days.
It's not that he didn't have the experience of working without eating. He knew that this fact was dangerous. If he hadn't been forced into a difficult situation, he would never have dared to take such a risk of harming his body.Putting the cotton bag on his shoulders, he tried to walk a few steps, and felt that his legs were still strong, which should be credited to the delicious meal at Feng Jiusi's house this morning.This boy Feng Jiusi is also a comrade in the party, but he wears foreign clothes, rides in a car, eats delicious food and drinks spicy food. He doesn't know if everyone will be able to live such a good life after the success of the revolution, but he knows that it must not be possible now.Alas, one cannot fight against one's fate. Maybe one has suffered a lot and suffered a lot. It is not as comfortable as Feng Jiusi's revolutionary work, unless of course he is a traitor.
After carrying a large cotton packing cart, the manager gave him a bamboo stick, on which a mark was branded with a red-hot wire.Every ten bamboo sticks of this kind is exchanged for a bamboo stick branded with complicated marks. This stick is worth fifty cents, but when he receives the money, he can only get forty cents. The ten cents is the commission collected by the manager. Without paying this money, no one can find a job in this place.
Two hours passed, and a bamboo stick worth more than one yuan was pinned to his waist.He hopes to earn another dollar, and then he can go to see Dafu's mother.The two boys in charge of stacking goods looked unfamiliar to him, but they beat him up from above: "Why are you dressed in short clothes today? People say that you are wearing a padded gown to work as a capital in a foreign company, and you never thought that you would have to work with this guy." Qunkuhaha stirs the spoon together..."
His stomach was completely empty right now, his feet were shaking, and he didn't have the energy to argue with them, but those two boys kept teasing him, making him angry.After working for a while, he saw that the goods were almost packed, and he had to make two trips to earn enough money. Not wanting those two boys to gossip again, he carried the cotton bag to the side of the carriage. It's not easy to continue, deliberately let him wait for a long time under heavy pressure.
It's one thing to "cook the cake on the flat ground" and take advantage of it, but it's another thing for these two boys to deliberately make him suffer more and make less money. If you endure this time, you may get used to them next time.Angry, he dropped the cotton bag and got on the car, grabbed one of the boys by the collar, but the other boy took the opportunity to close the door of the carriage facing the freight yard, blocking the workers from the door. The two men worked together and forced him to the door on the other side.
Yang Bingxin's heart turned sharply, and he realized that this was not like the usual fighting situation of stevedores.I saw a boy stretch out his hand to block his arm, and the other arm curled up and pressed it skillfully on his throat; another boy clamped his other arm with one hand, and the free hand stretched from his waist He untied a piece of jute rope in no time, and wrapped it around his neck with only a light twist...
He suddenly understood in his heart that these two boys were not fighting, but wanted his life.Damn, I was too careless. I only heard that bastard Feng Jiusi said that the murderer specially killed people at night, but I didn't expect that they might change their minds.He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the murderer's grasp on his arm, so that he could use the Xingyi Fist that he had honed for many years, but these two boys must be practitioners, and they were skilled at grabbing people's joints, making him unable to move.Looking at the gloomy look in their eyes, he knew that today must be a bad day.
Are they going to strangle me like they killed "Magpie"?Yang Bingxin wanted to wait for them to let go of one hand to grab the end of the rope, then he bent down suddenly, gave one of the boys a "black dog drilled in the crotch", and threw him out of the car. Faced with a kid fighting with bare hands, or jumping out of the car to escape, there is still a chance.What he was most worried about was that one of them would entangle him, and the other boy would pull the rope behind him and give him a "white wolf".This is the ancient method of single robbers against single pedestrians, that is, the thief puts a rope around his neck, then pulls the rope tightly from his shoulders, presses his back against his back, steps forward with his feet, and makes him fall on his back On his back, he loses his balance under his feet, and the person is powerless to resist.
Sure enough, the two boys pushed him to the other side of the car door, and one of the boys quickly let go of his arm to pull the rope, while turning behind him.He knew that he was going to die in the blink of an eye, so he couldn't help feeling a surge of strength in his heart. He bent his free hand and used his elbow to pound the ribs of the person behind him. Jumping out, he took the boy who was pulling the rope out of the car.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about fighting the murderer, because even if he had food in his belly and strength in his body, he would have no chance of winning if he had to deal with two murderers at the same time.So he ran up and down, running towards the yard like the wind under his feet.The two boys kept chasing after him, but it seemed that their pace was not fast, and there was always a distance of three or four feet between the two sides.
At last he was approaching the yard, where trains of cars were parked, but one of the trains was about to start suddenly at this moment.He slipped under one row of cars and climbed into another row of open vans.The two boys fired in the back, and the bullets screeched past him, sometimes hitting the side of the car.He scrambled back and forth under rows of carriages, hoping to get rid of the murderer, but the two boys were still chasing after him leisurely, as if they knew that he would not be able to escape, and had already regarded him as a dead person.
At this moment, he heard a whistle in the distance, followed by the sound of a steam locomotive blowing steam, and then a heavy "panting" sound of the locomotive, followed by a series of hooks that must sound when the locomotive pulls the carriage clashing sound.The sound was two or three rails away from him, and he quickly leaned over and climbed across a train carriage. Unexpectedly, a siren blew, just in time for an open-top train entering the yard. The speed was not fast, and it was slowing down to stop.He quickly grabbed the armrest of the carriage and boarded the carriage, then ran forward along the carriage.The murderer behind him had already caught up and followed him into the convertible car, the gun in his hand crackling.He hurriedly jumped off the carriage again, and ran a few steps on the ground, but the huge inertia still brought him down on the gravel on the rails, his hands were all skinned, but he didn't care about these, turned over Rolled away, dodged the bullet that almost caught up with him, and got under another train car.
Looking from under the car to the other side, he found that there was a train leaving on the next track, the speed was very slow, and it was just starting. It must be the train that he heard the movement just now. military truck.Looking back, he saw that the two murderers had also jumped out of the car and were bending over to search this way.
Now if he didn't move, he would have to wait for death, so he quickly turned over and climbed to the other side of the railroad track.At this time, the murderer also found him and shot him desperately. The bullet hit the wheel and hit a string of sparks.He couldn't hesitate any longer, so he turned over and jumped onto the moving train, got into the cab of a car, lowered his body, pulled down the jute rope around his neck and tied it around his waist, and waited anxiously for the train to depart. parking lot.
He was thinking in his heart, if these two guys were the murderers of the serial murder case, this attack showed that their killing actions were not regular, and they would definitely not only kill at night like Feng Jiusi said.Sure enough, at this moment, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Listen to me, boy, the rule of killing one person a day cannot be changed. If we can't kill you today, we have to kill 'Lark'!"
How do they know "Lark"?Could it be that "Bailing" participated in the "Yoshida incident" without his knowledge?He couldn't figure it out, because before the leader told him just now, he had never heard of the code name "Bailing", let alone whether he was a man or a woman, whether he was always young or not.He felt that he should notify "Bailing" immediately, and if necessary, he should personally protect the safety of "Bailing".
The train slowed down when it reached "Xiajiugu". He jumped out of the car and ran like crazy to the nearest tobacco shop to make a phone call.No one answered at Feng Jiusi's house, and there was no one in Miss Lan's room either.Where did this bastard go?He was very embarrassed, but what made him even more embarrassed was that he had no money to pay the phone bill, and found that he was only wearing unlined clothing, and the cotton robe and fedora were still left in the manager's room.
Looking at the clock in the cigarette building, he found that it was nearly 4:30, so he said to the shopkeeper of the cigarette building that he would pay you back, and then ran away, throwing the man's angry scolding far away. behind.He is an ambitious man, and now he can't afford the few coppers for calling, and he feels ashamed to run fast to avoid trouble.
The leader just said that "Bailing" is their most important intelligence agent, and he can't let "Bailing" make any mistakes, otherwise it will be more than just ashamed.On the way to the meeting point, he realized that he might not see Dafu's mother today, and he didn't know what happened to Dafu's child now?
