"Tanegashima-kun, don't open it yet. Is it something disgusting? I'm still eating!" Holding the roasted leg of lamb, with a greasy face, Yokoyama Isamu looked alert.

"Commander Yokoyama, here is only a very special note. The note is a bit too sloppy and I can't understand the content."

Tanegashima Kenji handed the notebook to Zhou Ke. He believed that with Commander Matsuda's knowledge, he should be able to read through the contents well.

"Tanegashima-kun, even though I can't understand you, you know that the notes are special..."

Before Yokoyama Isamu could finish his words, Zhou Ke took out a reddish-brown notebook that looked a little old from the box.

Through a single hole on the edge of the notebook, it is not difficult to judge that the notebook must have been soaked with blood. Fortunately, the handwriting is still clear and does not affect Zhou Ke's reading.

"Where did you find this box?" Zhou Ke frowned and raised the things in his hands and asked to No. 3 and others not far away.

This is not an ordinary notebook. What is recorded in it is a meeting, and the content of this meeting has far-reaching significance for the Red Party.

"Sir, we found it in a very hidden place near the chimney of the house. At that time, we thought it was gold, silver and jewelry, but we didn't expect there was only one book." A sergeant under No. 3 reported.

The iron box was found when they were carrying out the third step of the gendarmerie's search process. Although there was nothing valuable in the box, the person who was searching felt that the book inside seemed unusual, so he took it back.

"Have you found other boxes and things like this?" Zhou Ke asked.

"Sir, there are some miscellaneous books and account books, which we have put into a box." No. 3 replied.

"Take a look at the contents here and look for similar ones!" Zhou Ke said as he handed the notebook to No. 3.

"Matsuda-kun, what is written in the notebook? Is it important?"

Yokoyama Isamu couldn't help but come closer out of curiosity, but the notes were written too sloppily, and his Chinese character level was average, so he couldn't understand what was written in it at all.

"It's a valuable document. I'll give a bonus to whoever finds it!" The radio operator hadn't left yet, so Zhou Ke planned to send the document to the border area together with the radio operator.

"Matsuda-kun, why don't you just say it's valuable? By the way, I have quite a few books in my study, do you want to go there and see if there's what you want?" Yokoyama Isamu asked with great interest.

"Mr. Yokoyama, how dare you bring out the comic books in your room?" Zhou Ke refused unhappily.

Half an hour later, No. 3, who had not found anything valuable, came to Zhou Ke's office.

"Master, the radio operator under Old Sun has woken up. If it weren't for the alert bodyguard who was in charge of guarding him, he would have bitten his tongue and committed suicide!" No. 3 reported.

"Then send her and the notebook to the border area quickly. There are some things that are not suitable for us to explain to her." Zhou Ke sighed and ordered.

It is not the radio operator's fault for his excessive behavior on the road. The truth is that although the radio operator has been in the Crossing the River Pawn Group for quite a long time, he did not know the secret of the transaction between the border area and the gendarmerie.

She usually used the radio to receive messages rather than send them, and the messages she received were mostly lists of supplies. As for where to purchase and how to deliver the goods, the radio operator had no idea.

...........

In the evening, as the sun was setting, the gendarmerie's black car loaded with supplies took the restless telegraph operator to the old place where the goods were delivered to the border area.

Soon, as the black car stopped, the border security personnel who had been waiting nearby changed their things and took the radio operator and the important notebook away.

"Xiao Zhou, you're safe! Don't blame me for not releasing you on the spot, it's all because of discipline!" A confidentiality officer who was familiar with the radio operator reached out and pulled off the blindfold of the radio operator and the clean handkerchief stuffed in his mouth.

"Old Li!!!"

"I didn't expect you to betray the revolution! I'm ashamed to be associated with you!" After saying that, the radio operator looked at Lao Li from the border area and the unfamiliar faces around Lao Li and was about to bite his tongue.

These traitors and collaborators were really thoughtful. In order to gain her trust, they even made the clothing and room layout so realistic, giving her the feeling of being back in the border area!

Even the smell in the air seemed so familiar to her! However, as a radio operator of the Crossing River Team, she had not been behind enemy lines for so many years in vain!

Judging from the details, Lao Li and his people are obviously dressed much better than before. This is not what should happen in a border area that has always advocated a hard-working style!

But the telegraph operator had no idea that the purchase requirements for daily necessities such as cloth were not qualified to appear in a telegram at all.

The border areas closest to Shanghai have begun to do some middleman work as their trade with the gendarmerie has gotten on track, and their lives have become much better off than before.

"Xiao Zhou!" Seeing that something was wrong, Lao Li hurriedly pinched the telegraph operator's mouth, fearing that the other party would swallow his tongue due to misunderstanding.

"Old Li, how is Xiao Zhou? I heard that she hasn't eaten for a long time." Just at this moment, Secretary Ma pushed the door open carrying a lunch box and happened to see this somewhat embarrassing scene.

"Ma... Secretary Ma, you..." the radio operator mumbled incoherently, his eyes full of confusion.

"Old Li, quickly release Xiao Zhou. It's time to tell Xiao Zhou the truth. Xiao Zhou, now that you know today's secret, I have a more important task for you!"

...........

In Shanghai, in the high-end cafeteria where Zhou Ke and his friends were staying, Kojima Hirokazu brought another middle-aged man of similar age to drink with Zhou Ke and his friends.

Two nights ago, knowing Zhou Ke's relationship with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kojima Hiroichi asked Zhou Ke for help to build relationships for his frustrated fellow countryman during dinner.

Zhou Ke received a lot of money, and his fellow villager Kojima Hirokazu only wanted to be promoted from clerk to deputy team leader, so he called Suzuki Gen.

Suzuki Gen, who received the call, was also a smart man. He knew that Zhou Ke wanted to ask him to do something in order to establish connections, so he readily agreed to the task.

Hence, this thank you banquet tonight was held.

"Brother Matsuda, it's all thanks to you that my fellow countryman was promoted to deputy group leader in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

As Kojima Hiroichi finished speaking, another middle-aged man who looked a bit silly drank a glass of wine. Although he spent money, he was still grateful to Zhou Ke from the bottom of his heart.

Over the years, his fellow countryman Hirokazu Kojima, who had some connections in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had helped him find many people, but due to the special nature of his department, none of those people could help him make any progress over the years.

But Colonel Matsuda in front of him was different. Although he was young, he managed to get things done in less than two days!

"What deputy team leader? It's team leader! It seems that Suzuki didn't explain it to you clearly." Zhou Ke smiled and took a sip of tea.

"Thank you...Matsuda-kun for your support! I...I will definitely follow your lead from now on!"

The naive middle-aged man blushed with excitement when he heard the word "team leader" from Zhou Kou. He started to say a Chinese idiom and drank three cups again!
