Chapter 6 Chapter 6: The Cunning Cat Catches the Mice

"There are living ghosts in the world, but anyone who sees them will die. You should understand what I mean by this, and there is only one thing - keeping secrets is more important than life!" Zhang Zui said with emphasis. Su Zitong was terrified. He felt that Zhang Zui was the living ghost he had met. This living ghost was always there, everywhere, and appeared by his side anytime and anywhere, making him have nowhere to escape and driving him out of his wits.He had a sad premonition that Zhang Zui would never let him go unless he was sent to hell. Luo Su hid outside for two days. It can be said that during these two days, he was concerned about the arrested Jiang Yulong all the time.Jiang Yulong fell into the hands of the secret agents, and only the "Primaria Bird" comrades lurking in the gendarmerie could find out about his situation.So Luo Su was eager to send Xiao Ma out to get information.

The meeting point between Luo Su and Primula is at Yunnisi Village.They had agreed in advance that once the silk farm was closed due to the inconvenience of joint connections, the primrose would hide the information in a loose red brick on the wall of the silk farm.Only Luo Su and Xiao Ma know the location of this red brick. Xiao Ma put on a fake beard and went out pretending to be an old man, just in case the silk farm was under surveillance, his attire would not arouse the suspicion of the enemy. Xiao Ma went out early in the morning and came back smoothly in less than an hour.The information he brought back made Luo Su both happy and sad - happy that the silk village was not discovered, sad that the party organization lost another outstanding comrade...

"Comrade Jiang Yulong was steadfast and unyielding. The enemy failed to get any information from him and killed him. Primrose." Luo Su burned the note, choked up and said, "I knew Yulong was a good comrade who had been tested for a long time. He has enough experience to deal with the enemy's torture and temptation." "Old Luo, don't be sad. We must turn our grief into strength and work hard, so that we can be worthy of Comrade Jiang Yulong." Xiao Ma persuaded. Luo Su nodded, suppressing the grief in his heart, and asked Xiao Ma, "How is the silk village?"

"I didn't stay there for a long time, but there were a lot of customers who came to the door. I think if the door is not opened for business as soon as possible, it will cause some discussions. If it gets to the ears of the secret agents, it will be bad for us." "Okay, let's go back right away." Luo Su said with a sigh of relief. "Comrade Jiang Yulong died, what about the distribution of "Spring Voice"?" Xiao Ma asked again. "I'm thinking about this question. Now is a critical moment. Propaganda work is more important than a head-to-head contest on the battlefield. The channel of the post office has been destroyed by the enemy, and we have to think about it again." Luo Su said after thinking for a while.

"I imagine that it would be great if we could find a publisher within the independent division." Pony reminded. "I've thought about this issue a long time ago. The key is that publishers are hard to find." Luo Su shook his head. "It's true," Xiao Ma sighed, "There is Liu Qiye, we should be more careful in the future." "I'm just going through an empty joy like this, and I have to start from scratch again." Zhang Zui sighed dejectedly, and said to Chu Xiangxue. "Everything that is lost must be gained. You can't start from scratch." Chu Xiangxue comforted.

"What did you get? Got a few empty joys." "No, apart from a few happy moments, I also gained experience. If the underground party in Jiangnan City could be easily caught, the organization wouldn't have specially sent you here." Chu Xiangxue said. "I've come here to do nothing. Xiangxue, do you know why I accepted this task?" Zhang Zui looked at Chu Xiangxue, "It's all because of you." "What, for me? You didn't know I was here before?" Chu Xiangxue sneered inwardly. She understands that a man dares to tell all kinds of outrageous lies in order to please a woman. She was about to see how Zhang Zui made things right. lie.

"Before that, I really didn't know where you were, so I took the initiative to propose to the higher-ups-if the organization can meet one of my conditions, I can wipe out all the underground parties in Jiangnan City. The organization asked me what the condition was, and I said I want to take a person away and fly high." "The higher-ups promised you?" Chu Xiangxue said in her mouth, but she sneered in her heart. The reason was that Zhang Zui's clumsy lies disappointed her. "Of course I will agree. But I didn't say who the person I want to take away is. Xiangxue, you are my motivation. Without you, I really don't know if I can persist with such a difficult case."

"Really?" Chu Xiangxue seemed to be asking herself, but also like asking someone else. "Xiangxue, you are right. If you lose, you will gain. Although we have suffered repeated failures, we have destroyed the distribution channel of "Spring Voice". "Spring Voice" is posted to independent teachers. Come on, we should also shift the focus of our work to the independent division!" Zhang Zui didn't look at Chu Xiangxue when he said this. "You mean the Communist Party is hiding in the Independent Division?" Chu Xiangxue asked. "This possibility is not ruled out." Zhang Zui nodded.

"We also have someone in the independent division?" Chu Xiangxue said. "Yes, now is the time to use him." Zhang Zui nodded. On the boulevard leading to the division's office, Jiang Fangxiang and Su Zitong met unexpectedly.Su Zitong smiled at Jiang Fangxiang as a greeting, then lowered his head and was about to walk away. "Company Commander Su," Jiang Fangxiang stopped Su Zitong, "It seems that you haven't been drinking recently?" "Really, I don't even care about it myself." Su Zitong replied casually. "You used to be a good drinker."

"I quit." Su Zitong perfunctory, hoping to end the conversation as soon as possible. "What are you doing quitting? It's rare for a person to have a hobby. When is it convenient for me to buy you a drink." Jiang Fangxiang said. "Thank you. Staff Jiang, please go. I'm going back to the guard company." Su Zitong turned and left. Jiang Fangxiang looked at Su Zitong's back, shook his head and smiled wryly.At this moment, someone called him from behind. "Hello, Staff Officer Jiang, have you eaten yet?" Jiang Fangxiang turned around and found that it was Bai Qiming, the deputy company commander of the security company, and replied, "I've eaten, I just came out of the office cafeteria."

"Staff Jiang chatted with our company commander just now?" Bai Qiming asked in a casual tone. "Yes, I was asking why he stopped drinking." "Don't mention it, our company commander has not only quit drinking since he was drunk and lost his way, but his whole personality has changed." "Really, how could this be?" "He used to be a cheerful person who couldn't hide his words, but now he seems to have become very deep. When talking to people, he can say at most three sentences." "Could he have been stimulated by something?" Jiang Fangxiang asked. "Maybe. He lost his way and disappeared for two days. When he came back, he was injured all over his body. He said he fell, but others said it didn't look like a fall. I asked him many times what happened, but he refused. Say." Jiang Fangxiang was about to go deeper with Bai Qiming, but found his colleague Qiu Xuehai tying his shoelaces not far away, and suddenly remembered that he had been squatting there when Su Zitong passed by.So he left in a hurry. In the "family" private room of the old local teahouse, the fragrance of tea permeates the air. Zhang Zui was sipping tea leisurely, while Qiu Xuehai, who was opposite him, was carefully checking a list in his hand.Qiu Xuehai finally finished reading and put the list on the coffee table. "Do these people remember?" Zhang Zui asked. "I remember it all." Qiu Xuehai nodded. "Tell me first, how do they behave differently?" "I can't see it yet." Qiu Xuehai shook his head. "You must keep an eye on them from now on," Zhang Zui instructed. "There are a total of 25 of them, and they are scattered in various regiments and battalions. I really can't do anything." "If you can't keep track of it, you have to find a way, including recruiting new people. They are loyal readers of "Spring Voice". Why did the Communist Party send them the newspaper? There must be a reason for this." Zhang Zui said seriously. "I know that flies don't bite seamless eggs, even if they are not bad guys, they will turn bad." Qiu Xuehai said. "If it is a bad egg, we must resolutely eliminate it. If it is a bad egg, we must find a way to save it." "How to save it?" Qiu Xuehai looked at Zhang Zui in puzzlement. "Of course, we should treat them in the same way. The Communist Party used newspapers to redefine them, and we have to use the same method to brainwash them. The official newspaper "Voice of the Party and Country" in Jiangnan City is under our control and can be punished." use." "Team Leader Zhang has a solution." Qiu Xuehai said with deep conviction. "What happened to that Su man recently?" "I'm much more honest than before. He seems to be very afraid of you. Whenever someone says the word 'juntong', his whole body trembles." "Am I that scary?" Zhang Zui had a smug sneer on his face, "Bring him out sometime, and I want to talk to him." Luo Su was fiddling with the abacus in the counting room, and Xiao Ma opened the door and entered. "Are you back?" Luo Su raised his head, "Is there any wind outside?" "Yes, it's all natural wind." Xiao Ma sat down opposite Luo Su, "The new "Spring Voice" is out, and the content is wonderful. In order to resist the corner, Li Zongren recruited military forces everywhere, and specially sent a special plane 'Chasing the Cloud' He took Cheng Qian to Nanjing for negotiation. The reporter interviewed Cheng Qian at Nanjing Airport. He told the reporter: Peace is the unanimous requirement of the whole country, and peace talks should be held at any time. The keynote of the province taking the path of peaceful liberation will not change." "It's really good news. If officers at all levels of the Independent Division can get to know it in time, it will play a very good role." Luo Su stopped his work and asked, "Is there any news from the Independent Division?" "We've already found a candidate, the commander of the guard company." Xiao Ma replied. "The company commander of the security company publishes the "Spring Voice" in the independent division. It is very good. The key is to be reliable." Luo Su reminded. "He is a loyal reader of our "Spring Voice". He has a good foundation and radical thinking. The disadvantage is the good wine. He can't control his mouth after drinking, so the work of developing him has been slow. Recently, I heard that he has given up drinking. Now, people have matured a lot.” "I heard that it was some kind of company commander who was arrested and tortured by Zhang Zui some time ago." "It's him, his name is Su Zitong." "You can ask 'Primary Bird' about this matter, he should know the process of Su Zitong's torture." Luo Su reminded. "Okay, I'll notify Zhong Hua immediately to contact Comrade Primrose." Xiao Ma whispered. Qiu Xuehai and Su Zitong walked in the downtown area one after the other. "Staff Qiu, why did you ask me to come out? What are the two big men shopping for?" Su Zitong kept asking. "I just asked you to come out to relax. During this period of time, you stay in the camp without leaving the gate all day long, and you will get sick." Qiu Xuehai said, "I remember you were not like this before." "Recently, I don't really like the excitement, Staff Officer Qiu, let's go back." "Walk with me again—ah, there are a lot of people in this store, maybe they are selling cheap goods, I'll go in and have a look, you wait outside." Qiu Xuehai turned around and entered the convenience store. Su Zitong stood outside the store and waited for a long time, but still did not see Qiu Xuehai coming out, and he began to feel anxious. At this moment, someone patted him on the shoulder a few times. "Is Lianchang Su going shopping?" When Su Zitong saw who the person calling him was, he trembled with fright and said, "Zhang... Team Leader Zhang..." "Company Commander Su still remembers me, we haven't talked for a long time. Let's go, I'll treat you today." Zhang Zui couldn't say anything, pulled up Su Zitong's sleeve and left. Seeing Zhang Zui take Su Zitong away, Qiu Xuehai who was hiding in the crowd made a face and left. Zhang Zui took Su Zitong to the "family" private room of the old local teahouse, sent Dr. Cha away, and closed the door behind him. "Company Commander Su, are you safe?" Zhang Zui sat down opposite Su Zitong. "Team Leader Zhang, since I left the Gendarmerie, I haven't moved a bit or said a word." Su Zitong only felt that Zhang Zui's gaze was as sinister as a wolf's. "Very good. I will never doubt this. I invite you here for nothing else. Do you still remember what I told you when we broke up last time?" "Remember. The team leader asked me to pay attention to the words and deeds of officers at all levels of the Independent Division..." "You have a good memory, how are you doing?" Zhang Zui's pleasant expression made Su Zitong feel sick. "Report to Team Leader Zhang, I've always kept what you told me in mind, but I really didn't find anything wrong with their words and deeds." Su Zitong was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. "Don't get excited, that's not what I mean—do you know what I mean?" Zhang Zui's attitude became more amiable. "I don't know." Su Zitong avoided Zhang Zui's gaze. "I let you spy on others, and I treat you as my own! To put it more clearly, I want to develop you into ours." "No, no, Team Leader Zhang, I can't do it." Su Zitong blushed anxiously. "Company Commander Su," Zhang Zui put on a straight face again, "Our organization is a special institution with supreme privileges, as long as it is someone we like, he must obey unconditionally!" "I, I... It's not that I don't want to do it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Su Zitong muttered. "Well, we won't force others to do what's difficult for you. Of course you have your reasons for not wanting to do it. I'm just reminding you. I hope you can seriously consider it." Zhang Zui said casually. "Okay, I will definitely think about it." Su Zitong felt his heart beating violently. "In addition, I have a small request." Zhang Zui looked at Su Zitong, not in a hurry to say the following. "What request? Please tell me." Su Zitong waited for a while with his mouth open, and finally lost his composure. "We meet here today, don't tell anyone what you said." "Team leader Zhang, don't worry, I will never speak, including last time... I didn't reveal a single word to anyone." Su Zitong lowered his head. "Company Commander Su," Zhang Zui suddenly raised his voice, "Including last time!" "Last time I was drunk and lost my way to the suburbs..." Su Zitong muttered. "The last time has passed, just like a person died, he can no longer appear in any place, in any place, otherwise it will be abnormal-have you ever seen a real living ghost?" Zhang Zui asked sternly. "There are no living ghosts in the world." Su Zitong said in a daze. "There are living ghosts in the world, but anyone who sees them will die. You should understand what I mean by this, and there is only one thing - keeping secrets is more important than life!" Zhang Zui said with emphasis. Su Zitong was terrified. He felt that Zhang Zui was the living ghost he had met. This living ghost was always there, everywhere, and appeared by his side anytime and anywhere, making him have nowhere to escape and driving him out of his wits.He had a sad premonition that Zhang Zui would never let him go unless he was sent to hell. There was a suffocating silence in the private room. Su Zitong wanted to leave as soon as possible, but he didn't have the courage to speak.Even if Zhang Zui wanted to use this private room as an execution ground to torture him, he didn't dare to resist. Zhang Zui also seemed to be aware of his deterrent power, with a smug grin on his face. "Company Commander Su, what are you doing out today?" Zhang Zui broke the silence again. "Come out for shopping." Su Zitong replied. "Who did you come out with?" "I came out alone, no no no," Su Zitong recalled that Zhang Zui had been staring at him, and changed his words, "I came out with Staff Officer Qiu." Zhang Zui felt like he was playing a game of cat and mouse.He is just like a cat who catches a mouse but is not in a hurry to eat it, playing with it over and over again.He breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had played enough, so he said, "That's it for today, you go, I will come to you again. Remember, next time we will still meet in this place." Su Zitong left the private room nervously, afraid that Zhang Zui would call him back halfway.He didn't dare to vent his anger, let alone turn his head back. He walked out of the teahouse to confirm that he was free. He ran all the way, and only stopped when he reached a secluded place, panting heavily, and it took him a long time to calm down. Thinking that Qiu Xuehai might be looking for him everywhere, Su Zitong hurried to the convenience store, it was empty without a single customer, only the owner was clearing up the sold-out stalls. "Boss, have you seen a young soldier?" Su Zitong asked. "I'm busy selling goods, and I don't know who is a soldier and who is not." The shopkeeper said displeased. Su Zitong was very frustrated and was about to leave here, when he heard someone calling him not far away, following his reputation, that person was Qiu Xuehai. "Company Commander Su, where did you go alone? It's hard for me to find." As soon as he met Qiu Xuehai, he said to Su Zitong in a reproachful tone. "I thought you wouldn't leave anytime soon, so I went over there to have a look." Su Zitong casually pointed in a direction, "Why, didn't you buy anything?" "There's nothing suitable, I'm too lazy to buy it." Qiu Xuehai didn't care about Su Zitong's random excuses at all. The two entered the gate of the division headquarters, and then broke up.Qiu Xuehai went to the office building, while Su Zitong returned to the guard company.From far away, Bai Qiming stopped him, "Commander, where have you been? Staff Jiang has been here several times." "I went shopping with Qiu Xuehai. What does he want from me?" Su Zitong asked. "I don't know, he didn't say anything." Bai Qiming replied, "Why don't you ask him yourself." "It's nothing if he doesn't say anything, and it's the same if I tell you something." Su Zitong was full of worries, thinking about Zhang Zui's development of him as a military spy, he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.Seeing that Bai Qiming was still by his side, he asked, "Are you okay?" "I'm fine, company commander, I'm leaving." Bai Qiming turned and left. Su Zitong felt that Bai Qiming was a little weird today, and he didn't bother to care about it. After dinner, Bai Qiming invited Su Zitong to play basketball. He was not in the mood, so he went back to his room with the excuse of feeling uncomfortable.At this moment, a person followed him into his room, and he was taken aback. "Staff Jiang, is there something wrong?" "It's okay, drop by as you like, aren't you welcome?" Jiang Fangxiang asked back. "How dare you. I heard from Deputy Company Commander Bai that you were looking for me today?" "No, it's my turn to be on duty again this week. The lives and safety of the officers are in the hands of your guard company. Dare I not come here?" Jiang Fangxiang said, closing the door behind his back. "Yes, yes. Staff Jiang, please sit down." Su Zitong said with a sneer. "Company Commander Su seldom goes out these days, is he still in the mood to pay attention to the wind outside?" Jiang Fangxiang sat down opposite Su Zitong. "Wind, what wind?" "Of course it's the wind that concerns our future and destiny." "I didn't hear it." Su Zitong became vigilant, "What did Staff Jiang hear?" "As far as I know, Company Commander Su has always been very aggressive. How come he has become Shen Shen recently?" "Staff Jiang, don't forget that I dared to be radical only after drinking alcohol. I recently quit drinking." Su Zitong reminded. "That's right, that's called sex after drinking. It's good to quit drinking—otherwise I won't be here tonight, and some things really can't be spread outside." "If you have something to say, please speak up." Su Zitong had already guessed Jiang Fangxiang's intention. "Our Jiangnan Independent Division has always been loyal to the party and the country, but the higher-ups have never been relieved of us, especially now, they are simply guarding against thieves. Not long ago, a military command agent code-named 'July Bee' was sent here Jiangnan City, his mission is to monitor us, and if anyone finds out that he is in collusion with—” "Staff Jiang, be careful that walls have ears." Su Zitong said with a dry cough. "Okay, I'm relieved if you are so cautious. Don't tell lies in front of real people. Let me ask you now, do you want to contact the real Communist Party?" Jiang Fangxiang asked seriously. "Do you know the Communist Party?" Su Zitong's heart sank. "I know." Jiang Fangxiang nodded. "Staff Jiang, I didn't hear what you were talking about. Ah, I almost forgot. There is a company meeting tonight. Do you want to attend the company meeting?" Su Zitong hurriedly changed the subject. "I know you will be scruples. This is a good thing. It shows that you are very vigilant. Why should I make you believe it? Don't worry, I will let you believe it." Jiang Fangxiang continued.
