Chapter 17 Persuasion
After Hu Xiaomin came back, he comforted Gu Zhiren: "Uncle Gu, Huiying will be fine, they went to the guesthouse."
He still drives Gu Zhiren in the morning and comes back with him at night, but he no longer stays in Zhihua Textile Factory during the day. Hu Xiaomin is now a broker and has to run around for information.
He went to a teahouse in the morning, to a restaurant in the afternoon, and to a playground or a cinema in the evening. He had just "student intentions", so it was reasonable to ask around for news.
In the morning, Hu Xiaomin went to Jiufeng Teahouse and ordered a pot of tea on the first floor. He was the same as the former friend who was entertaining him. When he saw Hu Xiaomin, he immediately ran over and nodded and said, "Sir, you are here."
Hu Xiaomin handed over a one-yuan fiat currency: "Tea money, I will reward you with the rest. Chun San, is there anything new today?"
Chunsan is good at observing words and observing the feelings of the guests. Hu Xiaomin gave him money, but he just wanted to train him to find out the news for him. Jiufeng Teahouse has people of all kinds, including people from No. 76, who also like to come here to drink tea and listen to opera.
Hu Xiaomin found some money at He Dajun's house, and now he has relatively abundant hands.
After taking the money, Chun San smiled and lay down in Hu Xiaomin's ear and whispered: "I heard that someone is going to take action on thirty-six listening to saccharin."
Hu Xiaomin felt aroused and asked, "Who is it?"
Chun San slapped his mouth in front. A middle-aged man in a suit and tie, although he didn't look amazing, he came in a car and did a big business.
Hu Xiaomin nodded. He recognized this person as Ling Shengming. He was an old broker who was familiar with Western medicine and mainly engaged in drug-related businesses.
At this time, Ling Shengming was surrounded by several people. I don’t know if it was a compliment from others or whether he was going to do business, with a proud look on his face.
Hu Xiaomin also showed off several times in Jiufeng Teahouse, and the two nodded. Although brokers are new and old, they are comparing business affairs as brokers. Whoever has a good means can be the boss, take a rickshaw, and live in a villa. If anyone eats "pay money", he will not even be as good as a bastard, and he can't afford to eat big cakes, fried dough sticks, and spring noodles.
If it were someone else, he would definitely go over and get close to the goods when he heard that there was a main seller. But Hu Xiaomin was not like that. He was cautious and would not take action without full confidence.
Hu Xiaomin’s most important task at present is to let others know that he is a broker, especially the person on No. 76. He comes to Jiufeng Teahouse every day because do spies on No. 76 often come here?
It was almost noon, Hu Xiaomin was about to leave. In addition to Jiufeng Teahouse, he also had to go to several teahouses on Dama Vest and Sima Road. Whether it was medicine, calligraphy and painting, hardware, or real estate brokers, they all had their own places. Since it was the intention of the students, of course they could inquire about the news.
As soon as he reached the door, two people came towards him. The first one was Chen Mingchu. Hu Xiaomin deliberately turned his face and tried to avoid it, but Chen Mingchu saw Hu Xiaomin.
Chen Mingchu stopped, tried to squeeze out a smile on his face, and said, "Isn't this Mr. Hu?"
Today he came to Jiufeng Teahouse to implement his wood plan. Seeing Hu Xiaomin, he immediately had an idea. He got rid of Chen Peiwen, a potential competitor, and it would be even better if he could get rid of Hu Xiaomin, his love rival.
During the sixth National Congress, he and Gu Huiying stayed on the 76th all day long, and his willingness to be with Gu Huiying was even stronger.
Hu Xiaomin owed his body and said calmly: "Hello Mr. Chen."
There was also a man in suit and glasses next to him. Hu Xiaomin didn't know him, but just nodded politely.
Chen Mingchu's eyes were sharp and he soon discovered Hu Xiaomin's abnormality: "Mr. Hu seems to be thinner."
Hu Xiaomin touched his cheek and said quietly: "The gums were bleeding a while ago, and the swelling was reduced in the past two days."
This morning, he took off his braces quietly, and his face looked a little abnormal. His hairstyle and accent had not been changed yet, and even if his face shape changed, it would not attract others' attention.
After Hu Xiaomin left, the man with glasses beside Chen Mingchu asked casually: "Is this Miss Gu's fiancé, right?"
His name is Xia Zhongmin. He is in his thirties, wearing glasses, and is the translator of No. 76 and also serves as the foreign affairs secretary.
Chen Mingchu looked at Hu Xiaomin's back and said with a special emphasis: "Not yet."
Xia Zhongmin's words reminded again that Hu Xiaomin cannot be Gu Huiying's fiancé, not now, not in the future, and never can be!
Xia Zhongmin asked casually: "What are you doing?"
Chen Mingchu said: "I just arrived in Shanghai and it seems to be Ms. Gu's father's assistant."
Xia Zhongmin didn't say anything, and nodded thoughtfully at Hu Xiaomin.
Although Xia Zhongmin was only a foreign affairs secretary, he was recommended by the Japanese. Sun Mozi was guarding against him and only asked him to serve as foreign affairs secretary, but Deputy Director Zhao Shijun regarded him as his confidant.
Although the director of No. 76 was Sun Mozi, he was founded by Zhao Shijun. On No. 76, Zhao Shijun's prestige was even better than Sun Mozi.
Chen Mingchu asked Xia Zhongmin to come to Jiufeng Teahouse, but naturally it was not for the sake of tea. The two of them asked for a private room. After the friend got the tea, Chen Mingchu poured a cup of tea for Xia Zhongmin.
Chen Mingchu said solemnly: "Brother Zhongmin, you have great powers, so you want to inquire about something."
Xia Zhongmin said disrespectfully: "But it's okay to say it."
When he came to have tea with Chen Mingchu, it did not mean that he was with Chen Mingchu. In fact, he was from Zhao Shijun No. 76. The competition between Zhao Shijun and Sun Mozi was even more intense after the secret agent headquarters was officially named.
Chen Mingchu asked: "The government is about to return the capital, who is responsible for the security work?"
Xia Zhongmin said in surprise: "How could I know about this?"
Chen Mingchu said mysteriously: "The day after tomorrow, Mr. Wang will meet a friend at the Central Travel Service, and you will accompany him as an interpreter."
This is one of the "Mu Plan" he proposed to Sun Mozi. Since the Military Control Commission can identify He Dajun's identity, he can also find out the real Mr. Mu.
The Military Control Commission has always been foolish in trying to get rid of Wang Jiqing, but even though the national government has been established, the Military Control Commission still has not given up.
If Mr. Mu knew Wang Jiqing's whereabouts, he would definitely tell the Military Control Commission that as long as the Military Control Commission acted, he would know who Mr. Mu was.
In addition to Xia Zhongmin, many people will receive similar messages, but their addresses and time are different.
Xia Zhongmin frowned: "The day after tomorrow? Central Hotel?"
Chen Mingchu said confidently: "Yes, it's the day after tomorrow."
The Mutou plan seems simple, but it is very complicated to execute. It is necessary to ensure that each suspect receives completely different messages. Only when the Military Control Commission is operating can we know exactly who is Mr. Mu.
Xia Zhongmin nodded: "If I really talk about this, I will pay attention."
Chen Mingchu said sincerely: "If Mr. Wang talks about it, I hope Brother Zhongmin can speak well."
Xia Zhongmin pondered: "I can only say that I can do my best. If I can't do it, please don't blame me. If you have other channels, you can also ask others."
Chen Mingchu took out an envelope and pushed it to Xia Zhongmin, and said with a smile: "No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will remember this love."
Xia Zhongmin took the envelope into his pocket and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will bring it up when I have the chance. It's all about the security work, and it's best for you to take charge of it."
The money was put into his pocket, but Xia Zhongmin sneered in his heart. Don’t say that he might not have the chance to contact Wang Zhiqing, even if he had it, he would not say anything to Chen Mingchu.
Chen Mingchu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, thank you very much, and you will thank you very much after the matter is completed."
"Director Chen, ask you something, how is Cao Bingsheng's case investigated?" Xia Zhongmin suddenly asked, and saw that Chen Mingchu didn't speak, and said again: "If it's inconvenient to answer, forget it."
Chen Mingchu sighed and said, "It's not inconvenient. So far, I don't even know who the other party's surname is. I only know that I just arrived in Shanghai and were divided into the second group."
This mysterious killer killed Cao Bingsheng first and then He Dajun. Even if Chen Peiwen did not die directly at his hands, he would have died indirectly at his hands.
But so far, Chen Mingchu has not even known what the murderer looks like, whether a man or a woman, or a young man.
He was ambitious before, and wanted to use He Dajun to kill the new second group in one fell swoop, and even crack the entire Military Control Commission Shanghai District. But now he has no confidence at all. The biggest hope at the moment is to find Mr. Mu.
At present, finding Mr. Mu is his only chance.
For this reason, Chen Mingchu would never miss any opportunity. In order to find Mr. Mu, he would not trust anyone.
