Chapter 9 Chapter nine

This was the first time in Yang Bingxin's life that he took a car. Looking at the pedestrians hurrying in the light snow, it was really difficult for him to suppress the feeling of safety and comfort in his heart.This is the difference between the rich and the poor, and that's how they see us every day.Although he criticizes himself from the bottom of his heart, he really hopes that after the realization of the revolutionary ideal, he can bring Dafu mother and Dafu, of course, and the son born for him by Dafu mother to ride in the car and eat restaurants... As soon as the car passed the King Kong Bridge, he asked everyone to get off the car and said, "It's not safe to go directly by car." Feng Jiusi asked, "How far is it?" He said, "Walk for half an hour at most." He paid attention When Feng Jiusi looked down at the high-heeled shoes on Miss Lan's feet, and then raised his head again, there was reproach in his eyes.However, he must not let the car driver find out where Miss Lan is hiding, so he had no choice but to say, "You can hire a foreign car."

Seeing Feng Jiusi waving for three rickshaws, he couldn't help feeling a little angry.A car is a machine that pulls people, and it's nothing to sit on it, but this foreign car is a pull, and it's not something ideal revolutionaries should sit in.So, he only let Miss Lan get into the car alone, and said to Feng Jiusi at the same time, "The two of us will follow behind." Unexpectedly, Feng Jiusi did not object, but trotted along behind the foreign car obediently.This guy is usually like a "talker", how did he become so deep today?The superior asked him to identify whether Feng Jiusi was a staunch party member. If this guy did not speak or act, he would have no way of judging.So he asked: "Tell me in detail, how do you know about 'Bailing'?"

Feng Jiusi obviously seldom walked on weekdays, and he started to pant after running two intersections. He spoke intermittently, but the content was still clear. He described how he tracked down the murderer's lair and captured a murderer.He asked again: "Aside from asking about 'Bailing', what did that person say? Who is their leader?" Feng Jiusi said: "Before I had time to ask, his accomplice kicked the door open, and I had to run away. " He didn't look down on Feng Jiusi because he escaped, because preserving strength is the basic tactic of the War of Resistance, and there is nothing wrong with it.But what made him angry was why this guy would ask "Bailing" instead of other things.Thinking of this, he dissatisfied: "You should first ask who their leader is, what his name is, what clothes he wears and what he looks like, so that we can find the target and solve the case as soon as possible." Feng Jiusi obviously avoided him on purpose Looking back, looking behind him, he said, "I'm also regretting it now." But his tone showed no regret at all.

It is embarrassing not to find the murderer, but Yang Bingxin's embarrassment is even more embarrassing.In the afternoon, he escaped from the murderer, and when he arrived at the meeting place, it was already too late. He failed to see "Bailing", so he had to go to see his superior again.Although the leader didn't criticize him, his face was very displeased, so he was embarrassed to explain his dangerous experience in the afternoon, so as not to seem to be making excuses for himself and making up reasons.But since the murderer said that he would assassinate "Bailing" tonight, the comrade's life might be in danger, and he couldn't ignore it. In desperation, he had to confess his "bizarre" experience to the leader. Ask the leader to arrange weapons and support persons for him in the concession, so that he can be dispatched at any time to protect the safety of "Bailing".

The leader agreed to his request, gave him a phone number, and gave him a new code word for connection. Only then did he get in touch with "Bailing" and agreed to meet again tomorrow afternoon.As for the murderer's possible attack on "Bailing" tonight, he didn't talk about it on the phone, because the leader repeatedly emphasized to him that "Bailing" now has a very important mission, and it must not affect this comrade's work unless it is a last resort. , not to mention that just because the enemy threatened to kill "Bailing", they should not fall into their "trick of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger".The leader said solemnly: "The struggle against the enemy is dangerous and complicated. You can't listen to the wind and rain, and you can't be used by the enemy; 'Bailing' is our comrade who has been lurking for many years. Few people in the organization know him. I believe the enemy will not find out. This comrade, even if they have heard of this code name, they must not know the true identity of this comrade, so, you must not make up your own mind..."

He really didn't make his own claims. When he called in front of Feng Jiusi just now, the one he connected to was not the "Bailing" house at all, but the traffic hotel.He couldn't take the risk of letting Feng Jiusi know the true identity of "Bailing", because this guy hadn't passed the review after all.But he knew that if the information Feng Jiusi brought back was accurate, it would prove that "Bailing" must be in danger, so he had to protect "Bailing" tonight, and in case of a critical situation, he had to take "Bailing" with him Emergency transfer.

He directed the rickshaw to turn left and turn right. Just after passing Hebei Sanjing Road, Feng Jiusi suddenly stopped the rickshaw driver and said, "We've reached the place, put the man down." He believed that Feng Jiusi must have a reason for doing this, so he hid himself in a big tree While looking back, I found that there was only one bicycle behind, and the cyclist passed them unhurriedly and went south. However, he thought it would be a good place to send the rickshaw driver away, after all, it was not far from the destination.He guided Feng Jiusi and Miss Lan into an alley marked "Qingji Dongli" at the entrance of the alley, but Feng Jiusi pulled him back, concealed himself at the entrance of the alley and said, "Look at that biker is back again? This guy followed all the way from the French Concession."

The alley was very dark, and the street lights outside were dim. He looked southward and found that the man following them had returned on his bicycle, but when he approached the entrance of the alley, he was riding very slowly and looked alert.He hurriedly dragged Feng Jiusi and Miss Lan into the depths of the alley.He is very familiar with the neighborhood, and knows that Qingji Dongli is an alley extending in all directions. If you go north, you can go to Dongsanjing Road, and if you go south, you can go to Dongsijing Road.They are already very close to their destination, as long as they walk east along the Dongsijing Road and cross the Jingshan Line railway crossing, they will arrive.

At this time Feng Jiusi said: "The person following us must be the murderer. Let's go back to the concession first and arrange another place for Miss Lan." This guy actually doesn't want to countermeasure, just wants to escape, Yang Bingxin thinks this is not like Feng Jiusi's usual thinking.Feng Jiusi's rude and bad reputation is by no means a "waste of fame", and now he wants to escape before he even makes a move. This must not be the guy's sincere words, but rather a temptation to him. So he said: "If we don't get rid of those who follow us, it won't be safe for us to escape anywhere." Feng Jiusi took this conversation happily and said: "If you don't have a weapon, you can lead Miss Lan to go first, and let me go." Stay behind and give him a guy." As he spoke, he raised the umbrella in his hand and made a stabbing motion.

Yang Bingxin shook his head, let alone whether this "foreign umbrella" can kill people, it is hard to say whether it can stab people in a dark alley.Besides, if the guy following him was carrying a gun and Feng Jiusi missed a single shot and was shot to death by that person, then he wouldn't have to bother to identify Feng Jiusi anymore, but he couldn't explain it to the superiors— —The leader made it clear that Feng Jiusi is very important, and the superiors are waiting to use him.He had no choice but to say: "Let's take a few steps quickly, there is a cross alley ahead, let's ambush him there."

There was a street lamp at the cross alley, very dark.Yang Bingxin directed Feng Jiusi and him to hide on both sides of the alley, and at the same time let Miss Lan walk slowly towards the depths of the alley.He said to Feng Jiusi: "If you make a mistake, just take Miss Lan and run quickly..." As he spoke, he untied the strong jute rope from his waist, but after stroking it with his hand, he found that there was no tie. There are two kinds of ropes for "White Wolf". Those who only want to steal money don't want to die. There is no need to tie knots on the rope, just strangle the victim unconscious. Just be sure to tie a knot in the middle of the rope so that when the rope is around the neck, the knot fits right against the victim's throat. He listened attentively to the movement outside the alley, and skillfully tied a knot the size of a walnut in the middle of the rope with his hands, and then separated his hands to hold the "two waists" of the rope, leaving only about a foot in between, because only in this way can he Accurately "knot" the knot around the man's throat, but at the same time prevent the rope from becoming loose and being caught by the man's hand. The man came, and the bicycle bumped on the uneven ground of the alley, making a crackling sound.When approaching the cross alley, the man slowed down the speed of the car, as if hesitating, but soon he sped up again, presumably seeing Miss Lan appearing under the streetlight ahead.Just when he was riding to the intersection of the cross alley, Feng Jiusi suddenly stretched out his umbrella and inserted it into the front wheel of the bicycle.Due to the slow speed of the car, the man did not fall, but turned the car towards Yang Bingxin. He put his foot on the ground, turned his head to look at Feng Jiusi, and at the same time let go of the handlebar, reached out and took out a pistol from his waist... Yang Bingxin asked Feng Jiusi to create such an opportunity for him.He shook the jute rope with both hands, and accurately "caught" the man's neck, then raised his knees against the man's lower back, and at the same time combined the two strands of rope behind his head, and slammed into his arms. In the area around the ground, taking advantage of the flustered force of the man who threw his head back and raised his hand to grab the rope, he quickly turned his body around, put his shoulders against the man's back, and took two quick steps with the rope on his shoulders. , dragged the man off the bicycle, and quietly hung him on his back... According to the agreement between the two just now, Feng Jiusi picked up the pistol on the ground and hurriedly chased after Miss Lan.Yang Bingxin dragged the man left and right in the alley, lest he kick around the doors or walls of the residents and attract troublesome people.If he had such an opportunity on weekdays, he would definitely catch them alive, but not today, because since the murderer can grasp their whereabouts, maybe he really knows the address of "Bailing", and maybe they will take it seriously tonight. He is sure to kill "Lark", so he must settle Miss Lan as soon as possible, and then go to protect "Lark". With the guy hanging on his back, Yang Bingxin walked around the alley seven or eight times, and he could clearly feel that the guy had become "deadly", so he separated the two strands of rope in his hand, loosened his right hand, and let the guy The guy slipped to the ground from behind him, and he picked up the bicycle that fell on the ground, and quickly caught up with Feng Jiusi on it. No, but Feng Jiusi was worried about him, and said, "I'm worried that you are not good at learning, and you didn't handle the matter neatly." As he spoke, he left Miss Lan and ran back alone. It took a long time before he came back. He said happily: "Your craftsmanship is good, that guy is indeed dead." For this reason, Yang Bingxin was very angry and disappointed with Feng Jiusi. How could this be like revolutionary comrades trusting each other and working together sincerely? However, at the same time, he also found that Feng Jiusi's expression and attitude had changed a lot, the tightness around him disappeared, and there was a bit of tenderness in his eyes looking at him.Hell, he didn't understand what was going on. He and Feng Jiusi never found out that there was still a follower behind them, so they went to the hiding place in peace.He could see that Miss Lan didn't express anything about this place, but Feng Jiusi was obviously very dissatisfied.However, at this time, he didn't have the time to take care of Feng Jiusi's compassion and love for jade, he had to rush to protect "Bailing" as soon as possible. Because he was going back to the concession, he hid the pistol he had seized from the stalker in the kang cave, and then hurried back with Feng Jiusi on his bicycle.Feng Jiusi muttered behind him and complained that Miss Lan must not be used to living in that place, but he was not in the mood to talk to him about this topic, because if he wanted to drive away the Japanese devils, he had to "suffer hard and suffer hard", so he also I don't have time to worry about whether Feng Jiusi's courtesan girlfriend lives comfortably.The only thing he cares about now is how to get rid of Feng Jiusi, so that he can go alone to find the supporter arranged by the leader for him-the leader didn't tell him to tell Feng Jiusi about "Bailing", he must not make his own decisions. At this time Feng Jiusi suddenly asked behind him: "What did you talk about with 'Bailing' just now?" He replied very calmly: "'Bailing' said that he was very careful and could not reveal his identity, so let me not worry about it. Feng Jiusi asked anxiously: "Then you don't care about 'Bailing'?" He said: "You have to think about it carefully, and if it doesn't work, go to the leader for instructions." "What the hell are you thinking? Do you want to watch your comrades get killed?" Feng Jiusi yelled, obviously angry. "Then what do you say?" Yang Bingxin asked in a very sincere voice, because he had already thought of a way to get rid of Feng Jiusi. "The two of us are going to protect 'Bailing' together. If the murderer really comes, we can catch one and ask him." Feng Jiusi came up with a good idea. "Just do it like this, but when the time comes, you have to listen to my instructions, and you are not allowed to make your own decisions..." Yang Bingxin sent Feng Jiusi back to the Traffic Hotel to get a gun. Maybe they are squatting around here to watch their enemies." Hearing this, Feng Jiusi looked at him distrustingly, but finally said: "If you leave me and run away, I won't spare you." Yang Bingxin said no, I can't protect "Bailing" without a gun, but he said in his heart, if I take you, I can't explain to the leader. Feng Jiusi walked into the gate of the hotel, and Yang Bingxin rode his bicycle deliberately going back and forth in front of the traffic hotel twice, then he stepped on his feet and flew away... The respondent's residence was next to the "British Vegetable Market". It was a cigarette building. Although the door had been closed, the light was still on in the small window.The respondent was a man in his thirties who looked very strong, and he was sitting on a rattan chair leisurely watching the "smoke paintings" one after another.He connected with the man according to the secret signal given by the leader, and the man took out a small bag from under the counter and handed it to him, which contained a "gun brand scull" and two spare magazines. He borrowed the phone here to connect to "Bailing"'s house, and only said that this is "Duck House", looking for your wife.Soon there was a woman's gentle voice on the phone. He turned his back, covered the receiver with his hands and said the special password for "Bailing". , but you are indeed in danger tonight, I have to take you out of your residence." The other party pondered for a moment and then said: "It's inconvenient to talk at the moment." Suddenly her voice rose again, and she said: "Is the 'Moscow Hard Sausage' and black caviar really available? There are only two, then I Also, you can bring it here, why can’t it work? Well, well, I’ll pick it up myself, I know the place, isn’t it the Moscow Food Store? I’ll be there by car in a while, there really aren’t any of you doing business like this... ..." After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone. He asked the comrade selling cigarettes: "Do you know the Moscow food store? How to get there?" Two reliable comrades will go with me." The man shook his head and said, "Since you need help, you should notify me in advance. If you go to find someone now, you will have to wait at least an hour." He looked at the clock in the tobacco building, and the pointer had already pointed to eight o'clock. After a while, he had no choice but to ask: "How about you go with me, okay?" The man smiled bitterly, pointed down and said: "I really want to go with you..." He stuck his head in Looking down through the small window, I realized that this comrade only had two empty trouser legs below his knees. The Moscow food store was still closed at this time, the lights inside were as bright as day, and the food in the window was all unfamiliar to him.This area is where the "White Russians" live. There are many Russians coming and going, and there are also a lot of patrols and arrests.He hid his bicycle behind the grocery store and untied the jute cord from his waist to tie it under his clothes.He was not familiar with this kind of environment, so he was inevitably a little nervous. He touched the unlined clothes inside his suit. Fortunately, he brought the half pack of Japanese cigarettes with him when he was working in the afternoon, planning to take a puff when he was tired. throw away. He lit a cigarette, stood in front of the window and pretended to admire the food inside, while observing the surroundings carefully, and found no suspicious person. "Bailing" was a woman, and she came by car.His understanding of "Bailing" was limited to this, so he was very afraid of admitting the wrong person. At this time, a big black car stopped in front of the food store, and a lady in her thirties got out of the car, but she seemed to have remembered something, turned around and told the driver, "Do that work tomorrow morning, Don't forget to find the 'sledgehammer' when you go back..." "Sledgehammer" is his code name, so it should be this lesbian.He stretched out his fancy suit jacket, followed the lady into the grocery store, and asked in a low voice, "When will the twelve and a half duck racks you want be delivered to you?" There was no way to do this, because there was no new code, so he had to use the outdated old code to connect.Without turning her head, the lady said in a normal voice, "Half a soup..." The password was correct, and "Lark" told him to follow her with a straw basket, but she waved away the enthusiastic Russian shop assistant, walked straight to the fruit cabinet with no customers nearby, and asked in a low voice, "Who is there?" Do this case with you?" At the same time, she handed him a large brightly colored apple. He took the apple and said honestly: "There is also 'Hoopoe'." As he spoke, he brought the apple to his mouth and bit off a third of it in one bite. However, when he saw the reproachful look in the eyes of "Lark", Only then did I realize that I had done something wrong, so I hurriedly put the bitten apple into the straw basket.After another day without eating, he realized that he was starving... "Bailing" continued to pick the fruits in his hand, and said in his mouth: "It's 'Hoopoe'? That's fine, but please tell the leader that I can't evacuate." Yang Bingxin asked why? "Bai Ling" said: "There is a piece of information that is very important. I have been waiting for a long time, and the superior ordered me to get it." Yang Bingxin asked: "Can't I get it again during the day tomorrow?" "Bai Ling" sighed and said: " There is only one chance tonight..." When the basket was full of fruits, Yang Bingxin took the initiative to bring another straw basket and said, "Why don't you let me go home with you, so I can protect you nearby." "I can't take you home in a cattail bag, can I? It's really inconvenient." He insisted: "I got the definite news that you are indeed in danger tonight..." "Bailing" laughed: "It won't be better than The danger is greater on weekdays..." But Yang Bingxin still insisted, and the result of the two people's argument was that "Bailing" allowed Yang Bingxin to hide outside her house and protect her from a distance. At this moment, the store door opened, and a tall and strong driver in a neat uniform walked in.The guy bent his right arm against Yang Bingxin's chest, stretched out his right hand, and the edge of his palm could cut Yang Bingxin's throat at any time. Dang', blind your dog eyes..." The driver of the "Bailing" family violently threw Yang Bingxin out of the food store.He rolled on the ground pretending to be weak, then went to the back of the food store to pick up his bicycle, and then sped away.He had to go there before "Bailing" went home to observe the terrain, judge the possible intrusion methods the murderer might adopt, and find a way to win more with less—he already regretted not bringing Feng Jiusi with him at this time , although this guy is hateful and disturbing, he is a helper in a firefight after all, because he doesn't know how many murderers he will face, but it certainly won't be one or two. "Bailing"'s home is at the west end of Colombo Road in the British Concession, and there are rows of villas of different styles on both sides of the street.It was on this street that he created the "Yoshida incident" two years ago, but the house of "Bailing" was two blocks away from the villa where Jiro Yoshida lived.He rode his bicycle back and forth from the door of "Bailing"'s house a few times, and found that there were lights in the house, indicating that there were other people inside.He hid his bicycle not far away, then walked back slowly. He has already seen clearly that this is a two-story green brick building, which is much larger than Feng Jiusi's house in terms of bays. There will be at least two large rooms on the first floor, as well as a kitchen and toilet, and at least two upstairs. There will be three large rooms.He found that it is not easy to resist the attack in this house. Its first weak point is the small door on the side of the building, which is the place where the servants come and go. People guard here, and then attack the front of the house first, and after attracting all the people in the house to the front, let that person rush into the side door and attack from both sides. The second weak point of this house is the semi-circular floor-to-ceiling bay window on the first floor. Although the door looks strong from the front, the bay window is very weak and can be easily broken into by someone.The third weakness is that there is a small colonnade at the main entrance, and the distance between the colonnade and the oriel window is less than three feet. If you step on the oriel window and grab the colonnade, you can easily climb to the balcony on the top of the oriel window. Enter the second floor.Turning to the back of the building, he was delighted to find that a layer of solid wooden shutters had been added to the outside of the windows at the back. The murderer probably would not have chosen to attack from here in his haste. Since the murderer has already threatened to assassinate "Lark" tonight, it shows that they are not worried that the people in the house are prepared, but they cannot be unscrupulous about the patrols on the street.Although the patrols are timid and selfish, they will recruit people to intervene in the event of a shootout, so the murderer can only have ten minutes to commit the crime. Under normal circumstances, if Yang Bingxin were to direct the attack, he would need at least four to five helpers, so there would be many murderers.If he could get inside, with a suitable weapon, and with two or three helpers, he would be able to defend himself against an attack, or at least keep the murderer out until the patrols arrived.However, now he only has one person, one gun, and he can only guard the door, so he is not sure at all.I hope the enemy doesn't know where "Bailing" lives, but just bluffing... He lay down behind the flower bed of the neighbor of "Bailing"'s house. From here, he could see the front door and the side door of "Bailing"'s house at the same time. If the murderer really came after a while, he could attack from here and kill the one who attacked the side door first. guy.If he wants to deal with many people by himself, he has to defeat them one by one.He took out the pistol, pulled the trigger to see if the bullet was loaded, took out the magazine to see if it was full, and checked the two spare magazines before hiding the gun and the magazine in this house In someone's mailbox.He knew that although he was well concealed, he couldn't bring the gun with him. If the murderer didn't come tonight, but he himself was caught by the police as a thief, it would be unclear if he had a pistol on his body. At this time, the car that "Bailing" was riding in came back.He saw "Bailing" walk into the main entrance, and the driver followed him with the food he bought, but never came out again.That's it!In the food store just now, he clearly saw that the driver had a large-caliber Colt revolver under his armpit.This guy is obviously the driver and bodyguard of the "Bailing" family, and he might be his comrade!Alas, no matter what his status is, with this guy inside, "Bailing" is at least a bit more secure. What a pity!Thinking of his lonely situation, Yang Bingxin couldn't help but sigh to himself.If "civet cat", "elephant", and my own brother are still alive, I don't need to worry about whether I did something wrong by getting rid of Feng Jiusi... After an unknown period of time, the lights of the houses on both sides of the street were turned off one after another. There were only street lights far apart and the dim lights on the porches of each house on the street, and there were occasional passing car lights, and there were very few pedestrians.Everything was prepared, but tonight it was better to be a false alarm, because he knew that if there were really four or five murderers, even if he died here, "Bailing" might not be able to escape the disaster.Poor Dafu mother, I'm sorry for you two... At this moment, a car rushed over like flying, and stopped in front of "Bailing"'s house with a squeak.The murderer came blatantly, and Yang Bingxin immediately became nervous, but only one person jumped out of the car, and then the car drove away immediately. He saw that the man was standing on the side of the street looking around, but the street lights were dim, so he couldn't see his face clearly, he just felt that this man looked familiar.The man straightened his coat, walked to the porch of "Bailing"'s house, rang the doorbell, and took off his fedora hat at the same time—damn it, it was Feng Jiusi! Seeing Feng Jiusi being welcomed in, he had nothing to do.How could this guy know the address of "Bailing"?Could it be that he... When he was anxious, someone suddenly pressed his head from behind him, and at the same time, a cold gun barrel was pressed against his temple.It's over, it's over now, he knows that his plan to protect "Bailing" has been completely seen through by the murderer, and "Bailing"'s life is only in his breath, and if "Bailing" is killed, even if he can escape alive tonight , and no longer have the face to see the leader.So, he struggled and turned his head to one side, wanting to call out loudly to call the police to the people in the room, but immediately felt a sudden pain in his head and passed out. What made him feel strange was that the moment he passed out, he seemed to hear a familiar voice saying in his ear——I'm sorry, big brother...
