Chapter 6: Connectors

After a thunderstorm, I woke up in the morning and felt less stuffy.

Not long after Tingxuelou came out, Chen Miao found his butt. A small tail was followed by his back. He was not sure where the other party came from, so he could only pretend that he hadn't seen it.

Wandering aimlessly on the street.

Following the fragrance, I entered an alley. A breakfast shop set up a pancake at the door, and was frying oil cakes. The fragrance of chopped green onions attracted the people nearby.

There is also a wonton stall next to it. You roll the cooked wontons in the soup pot, pick them up, sprinkle some sesame seeds and coriander, and drizzle them with a little sesame oil, which makes people drool.

Chen Miao felt a gushing sound in his stomach. Although he ate some from Liang Xueqin last night, he had almost digested it. If he didn't sacrifice to the Five Insect Temples, it should rebel.

I bought two pieces of oil cakes and sat down at the table set up next to the wonton stall: "Boss, come a bowl of wontons."

"Okay, sir, please wait."

After a while, a bowl of fragrant wontons of sesame oil was brought up: "Sir, please use it slowly."

“Hululu…”

A bowl of steaming wontons fell into her stomach, and the feeling of hunger disappeared quickly. She stood up with satisfaction and pressed a dime under the bowl.

After passing through the narrow alley and passing by a newsstand, Chen Miao stopped and turned his head slightly. He knew that the tail was always following him.

"Give me a newspaper for today."

"What newspaper do you want?" asked the owner of the newsstand.

"Whatever, as long as it is today's newspaper." Chen Miao took out a cigarette and lit it.

The owner of the newsstand casually pulled a piece from a pile of newspapers that also emitted the fragrance of ink and handed it to Chen Miao. Chen Miao took it, threw it to the other party a copper plate, and then grabbed the newspaper under his armpit and continued to walk forward.

In the morning, in the teahouse, drinking tea and listening to books.

At noon, I went to the restaurant, and after drinking and having enough food, I took a bath in the Xiaoyao Pool...

Leisurely like a small opening.

...

On the road of the embassy, ​​Yimin Bookstore.

Chen Miao and Lao Fan made an appointment and met here this afternoon.

The appointment time was four o'clock, but it was four o'clock, and Lao Fan still didn't see Chen Miao appear. He was a little anxious. If such a joint did not appear after the agreed time, he would need to leave immediately according to the discipline requirements of underground work.

Lao Fan knows Chen Miao very well. He looks careless on the surface and looks unreliable. In fact, he is very serious at heart and is a very punctual person.

If it is not possible to appear in time, it is likely to be in trouble. With his current situation, if he is targeted by the special high school class of the Gendarmerie and the spies No. 76, it would be a very dangerous thing.

No abnormality was found, so Lao Fan decided to take a risk and wait for five minutes.

Five minutes later, Chen Miao still did not show up. Lao Fan knew that he could not wait anymore and had to leave immediately. He chose his own book, walked to the counter, and prepared to pay the bill and leave.

"Sir, can you give me this book "The Academic History of China in the Nearly Three Hundred Years" by Mr. Liang Qichao?" Lao Fan just took out the money from his pocket, and a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

"I'm sorry, I saw this book first." Lao Fan was not sure about Chen Miao's lateness, so he politely refused, put down the money, took the book and walked out.

"Sir, I came today to buy the book you have. Can you give up?" Chen Miao knew that he was late and had to find an excuse to talk to Lao Fan.

"I can tell you that I have bought this book. If you force yourself to grab it, I will be called a police officer!" Lao Fan and Chen Miao have known each other for many years. How could they not understand that in public, they must not know each other to avoid revealing their identities.

"How about I pay three times the price?"

"three times?"

"Not enough, sir, don't be too greedy. If this book was not for urgent use, it would not be worth such a expensive price. I think other bookstores in Shanghai should still have stock." Chen Miao hummed in dissatisfaction.

"Can you really give three times the price?" Old Fan's eyes turned, and he was quite moved. Do you want to act? You must come.

Chen Miao took out a few bills from his pocket and threw them on the counter with a "splash", which scared the bookstore owner, thinking that the two of them had a disagreement and were about to take action.

"Two gentlemen, say something slowly..."

"Boss, I'll lend you a place to talk." Chen Miao put away the banknotes and turned to threaten Lao Fan, "Do you sell the book? If you don't sell it, will I leave?"

"Since this gentleman is a book lover, we can discuss it and discuss it. Please come and make a pot of tea for you two." Lao Fan looked smart and sleek. Chen Miao couldn't afford to offend him at first glance. Lao Fan looked like a cultural person, and this cultural person was also a wise man and was not easy to talk to.

The two of them came to a secluded corner in the bookstore and sat down. The boss also made a pot of tea for them.

"You are late!" Old Fan lowered his voice and said seriously.

"There's no way. When I came out this morning, I had been following me with a small tail for most of the day. I finally got rid of it." Chen Miao explained in a low voice.

"I was discovered by the 76 spies, why didn't they catch you?" Lao Fan was surprised.

"It's not clear yet. Maybe they want to fish for big fish with a long line, but haven't taken action yet. Comrade Lao Fan, what do you think of my superiors?" Chen Miao shook his head.

"The superiors think that it is too dangerous to do this. Since your identity as the Military Control Commission has been exposed, it is recommended that you evacuate Shanghai immediately." Lao Fan said solemnly.

"If I withdraw now, my efforts over the years will be in vain!" Chen Miao opposed without hesitation.

"It's not in vain. Even if you change a position within the Military Control Commission, you can still do things and make contributions to the Party. You are an old Party member. Do you don't understand this principle?"

"Are you still going to be silent?"

"this……"

"Silence, silence, what else can I do except silence? I have done nothing over the years, just waiting. Comrade Lao Fan, I don't want to waste it like this. Now is an excellent opportunity. If we can successfully enter No. 76, then we can grasp the trends of Wang Puppet at any time, which will be helpful to the overall situation of fighting against Japan." Chen Miao became excited.

"Comrade Chen Miao, have you ever thought about it? If you are undercover No. 76, what will you do with the Military Control Commission? Once the Military Control Commission finds that you are betrayal, you will know their means to eliminate traitors." Lao Fan said solemnly.

Chen Miao said: "I will find a way to let the Military Control Commission send me to No. 76 as an undercover agent, so that I can lurk into No. 76 as an Military Control Commission. Wouldn't the problem be solved?"

"You said lightly, why did you ask the Military Control Commission to send you undercover No. 76?" Lao Fan sneered and asked, "Do you think the Military Control Commission is run by your family? Who are you?"

"The Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission has been attacked by Japanese secret service agencies and No. 76 one after another. The intelligence of the two sides is not equal. If the previous methods of struggle continue, I am afraid that they will be eaten tight in the next struggle. This is not what the boss Dai in Chongqing wants, so he will definitely change his strategy. The easiest and most effective way is to send an undercover agent to No. 76." Chen Miao said, "I know the Military Control Commission has always had this kind of plan."

"Even if Dai Yunong wants to send an undercover agent to No. 76, will he definitely choose you?" Lao Fan retorted.

"He may not choose me, but if I propose and take the initiative to do this undercover, he should consider it." Chen Miao analyzed.

"You are crazy and volunteer to be an undercover agent. Dai Yunong has so many suspicions and fickleness. Can he trust you?" Lao Fan expressed serious doubts. He knew Chen Miao's ability. The question is, can he be attracted to Dai Yunong?

"It depends on people." Chen Miao said.

"What if Dai Yunnong doesn't choose you?" Lao Fan asked back.

"Don't worry, I can still figure out his style and methods." Chen Miao said, "The situation in the Military Control Commission in Shanghai is so difficult, with internal and external troubles. He needs achievements to maintain his position in front of the old man."

"You are playing with fire, Comrade Chen Miao, don't forget your identity!"

"Then did the superior give me a specific task this time?" Chen Miao asked back.

Lao Fan's face turned dark and there was no answer.

"Since my superiors have not given me a task, I will follow my own plan." Chen Miao smiled.

"Why are you laughing? Don't give me a smile..."

"Comrade Lao Fan, don't be anxious. If you have something to say, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope. Besides, what a good opportunity you don't realize is now?" Chen Miao tempted, "If you miss it, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future."

"Are you planning to use a bitter trick or just accept the case?" Lao Fan's face eased a little, and his tone changed.

"I surrender now, and they don't believe it either. I want to wait until they catch me first." Chen Miao said.

"I know that your temper is not even able to pull back once you decide." Old Fan snorted, "Tell you, I lied to you just now, and the superiors agreed to your suggestions in principle, but you have to think of all the details you can think of, and also, adapt to the situation and withdraw immediately if you find the danger of exposure."

"Really, Lao Fan, you didn't lie to me?" Chen Miao was extremely happy.

"I was just slandering with my superiors, and my superiors agreed to give you such a chance, otherwise you can evacuate me immediately now." Old Fan gave Chen Miao a blank look.

"Thank you, Comrade Lao Fan, but I know, you must have not told your superior that the idea of ​​entering No. 76 was proposed by me, right?" Chen Miao smiled.

"If I say what you suggested, do you think your superiors would agree?"

"That's true." Chen Miao did not refute this point, "The next step, I guess this No. 76 should be targeting my social relations. Chen Mingchu has been working with me for two years, and he knows me very well."

"Who do you think he will start with most?" Lao Fan couldn't help but say.

"Hey..." Chen Miao was silent. He couldn't answer this question because it was not that he didn't know the answer, but that he was very clear.

Of course, Lao Fan also knows it.

"I will do my best to protect her safety." Chen Miao stood up, his eyes flushed a little, "I have to go back, Xiaoyaochi is taking a bath..."
