Chapter 120 Tomorrow
Xia Zhongmin's casual words made Hu Xiaomin ecstatic. Sanyuanfang, he remembered this place, which was a gathering place for high-end "entertainment places".
Hu Xiaomin asked Xia Zhongmin humbly: "What do you have? I will give you a chance to express it next time."
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future. When will you get married with Gu Huiying?" Xia Zhongmin smiled. It would be great that Hu Xiaomin had this heart. His current circle can't accommodate Hu Xiaomin for the time being.
Although Xia Zhongmin was just a foreign affairs secretary, his backstage boss was the military police team and had an invisible status on No. 76. Although Hu Xiaomin was introduced to join No. 76 and also served as the intelligence team leader, Hu Xiaomin was just a little shrimp in front of him at this time.
It’s not that Xia Zhongmin despises Hu Xiaomin. Their status and background determine that the two are in different levels and their social circles are also different. Hu Xiaomin can at most come into contact with section chiefs or directors, and he comes into contact with either Zhao Shijun or Sun Mozi, and there are even a considerable number of Japanese people.
"I have set a time and invite Mr. Xia as soon as possible."
After Hu Xiaomin left, Xia Zhongmin immediately went to the Gaofang and reported the matter to Zhao Shijun.
Zhao Shijun pondered: "Who would follow Hu Xiaomin?"
Xia Zhongmin hesitated for a moment: "It's probably...Su Guangxiao..."
Zhao Shijun frowned: "Su Guangxiao's heart is so narrow? The action of leading the snake out of the cave has not been carried out yet, so I can't bear it? Hu Xiaomin is your person, why don't you persuade Su Guangxiao?"
Xia Zhongmin said dissatisfiedly: "Everything is important to lead the snake out of the cave. I will tell Tan Zhibing later that his people only need to pretend."
It is true that Hu Xiaomin is his man, but he has more than one person. For the sake of this, Hu Xiaomin is not important to him. In order to lead the snake out of the cave, Hu Xiaomin can be sacrificed at any time.
Zhao Shijun nodded: "Look for time to communicate with Su Guangxiao and tell him that this is only once, and I will not be the case."
Hu Xiaomin didn't know that Zhao Shijun and Xia Zhongmin decided to sacrifice themselves.
Before he went to the Baxianqiao small vegetable market, he went to Yannianfang first. After experiencing what happened just now, he was very careful this time. Moreover, he saw the secret code issued by Zhang Xiaoru at the entrance of the alley, which made him more alert. After repeatedly confirming that there was no one behind him, he arrived at No. 7, Yannianfang.
Behind the threshold, Hu Xiaomin saw the letter left by Zhang Xiaoru. Zhang Xiaoru asked him to join the cafe near the Northeast corner of Chengdu North Road and Jing'an Temple Road at 10:30 a.m. the day after tomorrow.
Zhang Xiaoru didn't know when Hu Xiaomin would come here, so he set the joint time a little later. If Hu Xiaomin did not appear, the time would be pushed back for two more days. For the second joint, if Hu Xiaomin had not appeared, the joint would be invalidated this time.
Hu Xiaomin suddenly thought that starting tomorrow, a department of the agent headquarters would send someone to protect him, and there were many inconveniences in contact with Zhang Xiaoru. Perhaps, he could only wait for the second contact.
After reading the letter, he immediately burned the letter. After disguising himself, Hu Xiaomin wrote information to Qian Heting with his left hand before leaving. It was not easy for him to go to the death mailbox. Not only did he have to come up with the information, but he also had to report his situation to Qian Heting.
For example, in the afternoon, he was followed by a man with scarred eyebrows. He hoped that Qian Heting could confirm the identity of this person. At least, you should know whether this person is the Military Control Commission. If the Military Control Commission has actions against him, at least he should inform him in advance.
In addition, Gu Huiying had already tested himself. He felt that the Central Committee was interested in recruiting him. He needed Qian Heting's instructions to deal with it. At the same time, he also reported that he was responsible for monitoring Wan Molin during this period.
As for Tan Zhibing's whereabouts, Hu Xiaomin confirmed it again today from Xia Zhongmin. Tan Zhibing likes to look for flowers and willows and has a new relationship in Sanyuanfang. The Military Control Commission can follow Tan Zhibing based on this and formulate an action plan.
After a walk from Yishoufang, Hu Xiaomin returned to No. 7, Yannianfang. After arriving in the house, he saw Qian Heting’s information: the time and place for the assassination of Tan Zhibing within three days.
Hu Xiaomin was secretly worried that from tomorrow, he would be protected by one place for the next three days. Tan Zhibing's actions could only rely on Qian Heting to find a way in Sanyuanfang. Someone would protect him tomorrow, and perhaps they could inquire about Tan Zhibing's situation.
Xia Zhongmin told him that Tan Zhibing had a good friend in Sanyuanfang. If he could know the name of that good friend, or when Tan Zhibing went to Sanyuanfang, he could quickly find out Tan Zhibing's whereabouts.
Individual information may be useless, but when several information is combined, accurate information will be obtained.
Hu Xiaomin then went to the small vegetable market in the Eight Immortal Bridge in the French Concession. His target was Wan Molin of Wanchangmi. Hu Xiaomin's habit was to first understand the surrounding terrain.
Being familiar with the terrain, in addition to using the map, the most important thing is to personally investigate.
Wanchangmi has six stores, more than twenty people. Customers who queue up at the counter to buy rice can always line up at the door, which shows that the business here is very good.
There is a large warehouse behind it, and behind it is a river, the rice grains are transported by water.
After walking around the three streets around, Hu Xiaomin walked into Wanchangmi. After asking about the price of grain, he found that the price here was not low. But in order not to arouse suspicion, he still lined up to buy twenty kilograms of rice.
Hu Xiaomin is going to have dinner with Taili on the 5th, so he can't go empty-handed, right? No matter what, for Feng Wu and Liuyi, they are all moved to a new house.
There is a teahouse opposite the Wanchangmi No. 1. Hu Xiaomin found a seat by the window and ordered a pot of tea. When the guy was sending tea and snacks, Hu Xiaomin handed over Zhang Yiyuan's banknotes.
"Man, do you know Boss Wan from the Wanchangmi opposite?"
The teahouse is a well-informed place, and the teahouse’s staff is the best intelligence collector. Hu Xiaomin bought Chun San at Jiufeng Teahouse to grasp the information from all parties.
"I know, what do you want to ask?" The guy stretched out his hand, and the banknotes disappeared immediately, and his face was quickly filled with a humble smile.
"Does Boss Wan live here?" Hu Xiaomin asked.
"I used to live in the back yard. I've been here less during this period. I heard that I'm at Mr. Du's mansion in Wagneil Road." The guy said softly.
"The Wanchang Rice business is very good." Hu Xiaomin said that you have to queue up to buy rice, and there are not many rice numbers like this.
Moreover, when he was queuing, he found that these people were big customers, ranging from three to five hundred hands to thousands of pounds. Such a large customer also had to queue up to pay the fees, which shows that Wanchangmi's daily profits are amazing.
"Who is Mr. Wan? Many people can't be cursed about it. Many manufacturers and schools know that the price is expensive and deducts weight, and they still cheat on the rice stall, but they still come to buy rice." The guy said mysteriously.
"Everyone wants to talk to Mr. Du." Hu Xiaomin said softly.
"Sir, see clearly."
Hu Xiaomin did not leave immediately because Wan Molin was away. After the guy left, he took out his camera and took a few photos of Wan Changmi.
This is the first time Hu Xiaomin has performed a mission in a real sense. He has to do his best on the surface. With photos, he can give Zhang Hui an explanation. As for whether he has provided information, it is different.
While Hu Xiaomin was surveillance across the Wanchangmi, Wan Qianliang met Lin Weida who failed at Jiufeng Teahouse in his residence in the public concession. Lin Weida reported to him that Hu Xiaomin had noticed that the mission failed.
"What happened? Why didn't the task be completed?" Wan Qianliang glared at him dissatisfiedly.
He gave such a simple task to Lin Weida for safety. Unexpectedly, Lin Weida came back to report and failed to complete the task. How could a rigorously trained agent, a rookie who was a fledgling and could not even use a gun, not be able to complete the task?
ps: I can't even unscrew the bottle cap today...
