A different kind of Lou Chun - "The Pretender" colleague

Sending off Fujita Yoshimasa, Ming Lou did not feel relaxed.He knew that this was a more difficult role to deal with than Nantian.Walking slowly to the window, he looked at the tall sycamore trees on the side of the road, and heard the voice of Ah Cheng approaching.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"It's okay. But this old fox won't be dispelled by me with a few words. There must be another trick. Every step we take, we must be extra careful."

Ah Cheng nodded and said: "I just heard that Nantian was under his pressure to ask Wang Manchun to reflect on himself. Not only did he suspend the fishing operation, but he also ordered her not to participate in any security work at the Peace Conference, which is tantamount to putting her aside."

Ming Lou was not surprised: "Yeah, no matter who she is, the person who moved the special high class must pay the price. Her treatment is very light."

"Liang Zhongchun is so proud this time! If Wang Manchun is not allowed to intervene in the peace conference, all the power will fall into his hands. It is said that this was specially ordered by Fujita Yoshimasa. Could it be that he still doubts Wang Manchun's success?"

Ming Lou didn't answer, just stared out the window with a solemn expression, and asked, "Is there still no news from Sha Ou?"

"No. But brother, don't worry, Yan'an has been heavily bombed by the Japanese army during this period, communication will be slower."

"How much have you found out about the situation of Sha Gull?"

"Not many. His files are kept secret at the central government and have not passed through the Southern Bureau. We only know that he is an orphan of a martyr. He joined the party in 34 and has been engaged in latent work."

Minglou fell into deep thought: "Do you know where he received his education? Where did he join the party?"

"I don't know." Ah Cheng replied decisively: "All information about his identity is top secret."

Minglou asked again: "What about the Japanese and No. 76, how much do you know about him?"

"The code name "Sea Gull" was first discovered by the Japanese in 34. But in the following three years, there was little news, and it should be dormant. Since 37, the code name "Sea Gull" has been active and extremely destructive. According to Liang Zhongchun, today Among the various tasks in the special high school, catching Sha'ou has become the top priority. And Wang Manchun, you know, after the incident at the Telecommunications Office, she asked Nantian for credit, saying that Sha'u had been killed by her, and she used the captured codebook The film proves it. I think she mistook the swallow for a gull."

Minglou listened carefully to what he said, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Ah Cheng was about to ask what to do next, when Secretary Liu knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Ming, Director Wang is on the 76th to see you."

Ming Lou quickly exchanged glances with Ah Cheng, and walked back to the desk with a full expression: "Please come in."

Wang Manchun didn't wear a military uniform today. A short beige windbreaker made her slender figure stand out even more gracefully.Seeing her walking slowly, both Minglou and Ah Cheng's hearts moved: she was still the beautiful woman with picturesque eyebrows and a sweet smile in the past, but the purity and gentleness in her memory had been faintly revealed by the wind. instead of hostility.

"Brother, didn't you disturb your work?" She approached with a smile, then nodded to greet Ah Cheng.

"No matter how busy I am, I have to make time for you."

Minglou smiled and pointed to the sofa: "Sit."

Turning to Ah Cheng again: "You know, Director Wang likes to drink Tieguanyin."

"Yes." Ah Cheng nodded and retreated.

"Why are you free today?" Minglou asked.

Wang Manchun glared at him: "You don't know, do you? I'm resigning from my post and thinking about my past mistakes. I'm very free."

"Are you here for comfort?"

Ming Lou sat down next to her: "Miss Wang, I'm already too busy with the peace conference. All forces and regimes are staring at it, and I'm almost overwhelmed. Really. I don’t understand what you guys are trying to do with this drudgery!”

"Who snatched it? Liang Zhongchun can give it to him if he wants it. I'm not interested in being a bodyguard!"

"Oh? Then why is Miss Wang unhappy?" Minglou raised his eyebrows and asked.

Just as he was talking, Ah Cheng knocked on the door and handed him hot tea, then backed out without a word.

"I'm just pity, I do half the fishing."

Wang Manchun sighed, and said slowly: "You know, this is a trap I used to trap anti-Japanese elements. Since the accident on the 76th, we have not captured any activity reports of anti-Japanese elements. However, several groups of unknown radio waves were discovered in a row, and the approximate directions of the two radio stations were surveyed."

Minglou felt her burning gaze, and asked calmly, "Then why didn't you arrest her?"

"Not to be arrested, I suggested to Section Chief Nantian. Because we don't know the exact location, we can only wait on the sidelines during the reporting period. Our radio monitoring vehicle is too conspicuous, so it is very easy to scare the enemy. These two stations, in Shanghai The one in the Western Concession has several streets in front and back, full of schools, clinics, churches and office buildings. The one in the French Concession is a commercial center where photo studios, theaters, shopping malls and restaurants gather. Searching door to door is not the way. "

"So, you want to—fish."

"Yes. I created a convert and arrested people in the area of ​​​​the two stations in order to disrupt the position of those anti-Japanese elements and attract them to desperately come to pick up rape, or to move in a hurry. It doesn't matter if there are none. , Those people I caught in the open were actually spies sent by Section Chief Nantian, and they were sent back after communicating with me. Those anti-Japanese elements never thought of their true identities, and thought they were comrades!"

There was a faint smile on Minglou's face, and the dark eyes as deep as a well concealed all emotions: "Manchun, this plan of yours is really wonderful."

"But what's the use of being wonderful?" Wang Manchun was depressed: "If you do a good job, if you say it will be stopped, it will be stopped. Section Chief Nantian is going to arrest him now, and there is no chance of winning."

"It can't be said that there is no chance of winning, can it?" Minglou said, "Perhaps, the super high class has already grasped the specific position of the radio station."

"It's not that easy to find the specific direction. However, with the technology of the super high class, it should not be difficult to narrow the circle of suspicion to within three streets during this period of time, so Section Chief Nantian looks determined to win. Anyway, we should I have done everything, whether she can catch it or not has nothing to do with me."

After sending Wang Manchun away, Minglou informed Ah Cheng about it.

Ah Cheng's first reaction was: "Brother, could this be another trap she used to lure you into the bait?"

"Even if it's a trap, you have to jump."

Minglou replied decisively: "The two areas she pointed out are indeed the radio stations of Uncle Li and Mingtai."

"However, they didn't know the specific location of the radio station. Will our movement..." Ah Cheng hesitated.

"Will it show them the way instead?"

Minglou's expression froze, and he was not angry: "Ah Cheng, if you can't even do this kind of thing well, why don't you just go home and work as an accountant for Eldest Sister."

Ah Cheng shyly said, "Brother, I will definitely do well."

Ming Lou nodded: "Go. Tell Uncle Li and Guo Qiyun that the radio station is hidden on the spot, and people can evacuate safely first. Keep silent and wait for orders. Be careful!"

"Yes."

Ah Cheng left, and the huge office was silent.

Ming Lou sat back at the desk, and involuntarily reached into the breast pocket of his shirt.In the place closest to the heart, there has always been a pair of platinum wedding rings that have not been given away.In order to prevent loss, he later took a ball of red thread and wrapped them together layer by layer, which also covered the lettering on the inside of the ring.Minglou's hand slowly clenched into a fist, feeling the hard mass burned in his palm.He knew that the mystery that had been haunting him these days was about to be unraveled.And no matter what kind of answer it was, it was not what he wanted to see in his heart.
