Chapter 35 Test
Zhang Hui suddenly pulled down Hu Xiaomin's sleeve and gave him a wink. Hu Xiaomin understood and followed Zhang Hui quietly away from the Far East Hotel.
When he arrived at the alley opposite, Zhang Hui stopped and whispered to Hu Xiaomin: "Did you see the person carrying the box just now?"
Hu Xiaomin casually said: "Is a man wearing a long blue gown with a burly figure and thick joints?"
"Yes, it's him."
Zhang Hui looked at Hu Xiaomin with an unexpected look. Just one glance could remember these characteristics, which was not simple.
Hu Xiaomin asked curiously: "Who is he?"
Zhang Hui pondered: "I don't know yet, but I just look familiar and feel like a person from Chongqing. You go to work on the first day and stare at him. If he goes out, you have to know where he went and who he has seen, and report to me tomorrow."
He really just felt familiar and asked Hu Xiaomin to stare at him, not only to verify his gaze, but also to try Hu Xiaomin's weight.
He just asked Hu Xiaomin about his experience. He had only studied business before. Although he had been outside, he did not understand the work of spies.
Hu Xiaomin nodded: "Okay, I'll stay here."
No matter what Zhang Hui arranged for him to do, it was difficult to refuse at this time, even if Zhang Hui was just testing himself.
But Hu Xiaomin felt that the person might have problems. The thick joints mean that he often swung his fists, which is an obvious characteristic of training. Moreover, Hu Xiaomin also noticed that the other party had calluses in his palms and fingertips. This means that the person often holds a gun.
Although Zhang Hui did not mention the other party's name, Hu Xiaomin guessed that that person must be extraordinary. Who is Zhang Hui? The deputy section chief of the intelligence department of the agent headquarters, his eyes were very poisonous, so how could he just feel familiar? Perhaps he had already recognized the other party and deliberately did not say it out loud.
Notify the other party?
no!
What if this is a trap set by Zhang Hui? Or what if the test No. 76 is on his own?
When he first joined the Military Control Commission, he had undergone many tests.
As a lurker, he must always remind himself that from the moment he joined No. 76, he was a member of the agents headquarters.
At this time, Hu Xiaomin must have a traitor's mind. Only by treating himself as a traitor in his thoughts and actions can he truly lurk and do more of what he wants to do.
Therefore, it is not feasible to notify the other party.
Hu Xiaomin has always been cautious in his actions, unable to do it, nor can he do it.
The only thing he can do is to "alarm" the other party.
Hu Xiaomin was a "novice" on No. 76. He was neither trained nor guided by anyone. Even if he made a mistake, he could understand and should be forgiven.
But the alarm cannot be revealed. It must be done naturally, not only to hide it from Zhang Hui, but also to the other party. At least, there must be no flaws when Zhang Hui investigates in the future.
Hu Xiaomin didn't take him seriously when he attacked Zhang Hui before. He felt that this so-called deputy section chief of the intelligence department was nothing more than that.
But this afternoon, following Zhang Hui to do things, he found that Zhang Hui was also a meticulous person, but his ability to move was slightly weaker.
Even so, Hu Xiaomin dared not underestimate Zhang Hui. Any behavior of despising his opponent is tantamount to ruining his own life.
After Zhang Hui left, Hu Xiaomin observed from the opposite side very carefully. Not only did he keep a close eye on the people who came out of the Far East Hotel, but he also paid attention to everyone who entered.
Hu Xiaomin must carefully identify everyone entering and leaving the Far East Hotel. Are they anti-Japanese people?
More than an hour later, it was almost dark, and Hu Xiaomin felt that with the patience of a newcomer, he should take action. For example, go to the Far East Hotel opposite to inquire about the news.
Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly saw a rickshaw parked at the door of the Far East Hotel. A man walked in with a box.
Seeing the man's walking posture and pace, Hu Xiaomin suddenly stopped. When this person walked, his upper body was stable and his body was very straight, and his pace was consistent, giving Hu Xiaomin a sense of familiarity.
Hu Xiaomin received military training every day when he was in the training class, which was indeed of great help to hone his will and improve his military quality. But there are advantages and disadvantages. Strict military training will leave indelible traces.
For example, the walking posture, pace, palms, joints, and even the look of people, as well as the tone of speaking. These characteristics are very subtle and difficult to distinguish without looking carefully. But Hu Xiaomin knew that because he had these characteristics before. After Hu Xiaomin graduated from the pre-training class, it took him a long time to eliminate these characteristics.
This man is medium-sized, neither fat nor thin. When he lifted the box, he glanced at him naturally. When he walked to the door, he slowed down slightly and looked around again.
It was this last look that made Hu Xiaomin sure that the other party was extremely alert. Ordinary people stayed in a hotel and only cared about the price of the room, whether it was comfortable, safe, etc., but this person first paid attention to the surrounding environment.
A thought suddenly emerged in Hu Xiaomin's mind: Is this a trap? Or is it a test for himself? Or did he really meet his peers?
After the other party walked into the lobby, Hu Xiaomin also walked over. When he reached the door, he saw the man saying something in front of the counter. Hu Xiaomin quickly turned around and guarded outside the door.
Hu Xiaomin's exaggerated behavior naturally attracted the attention of the man in front of the counter. But he just glanced at Hu Xiaomin, took the key handed over by the friend, and went upstairs with the box.
After Hu Xiaomin waited for the man to leave, he quickly walked to the front desk, handed over a bill, and asked, "More than an hour ago, there was a tall man holding a box similar to that gentleman. Which room should he live in?"
The guy was originally full of displeasure, but after seeing the money, he immediately turned up the registration book. His salary was meager, and he would not miss such extra money.
“Room 212.”
Hu Xiaomin asked: "Which room did that person live in just now?"
“Room 208.”
Hu Xiaomin deliberately lowered his voice and said, "If someone visits Room 212, or if he goes out, be sure to notify me, just opposite."
Although Hu Xiaomin only glanced at the man who had just walked in, he found two suspicious points: First, the other party had thicker knuckles, which were very similar to the first burly man, and they should have both received professional training. Second, the other party's box was similar to the man in front, almost exactly the same.
The man who went upstairs did not actually walk to the second floor. He stopped after turning the corner and listened to the conversation at the front desk. Although Hu Xiaomin lowered his voice, he still heard it.
It was completely dark at this time, and Hu Xiaomin took the front desk phone number to the intelligence department. Hu Xiaomin only wanted to prove to Zhang Hui that he was still at his post.
"I'll look for Section Chief Zhang." Hu Xiaomin whispered.
Zhang Hui was injured yesterday and was discharged from the hospital today. Now it's time to get off work again. No matter what, he shouldn't be in the office. But unexpectedly, as soon as the other party spoke, he could hear Zhang Hui's voice.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhang Hui said calmly.
Hu Xiaomin said in surprise: "Section Chief, you haven't gotten off work yet?"
Zhang Hui said lightly: "Are you waiting for your report?"
Hu Xiaomin whispered: "Just now I saw another suspicious person who lives in Room 208, and the one who lived in Room 212 before."
Zhang Hui said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, don't alert the enemy, go to the opposite side to guard."
In his opinion, Hu Xiaomin called me purely to show off. He just designated a goal at will, so where did he come from so many dramas?
Hu Xiaomin asked softly: "Section Chief, will anyone come to help you?"
Zhang Hui said lightly: "This is your task, why are others here to help? Continue to monitor."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hui looked at the time, then went to Gaofang to report to Zhao Shijun.
The man he saw at the Far East Hotel in the afternoon was indeed suspicious, but he couldn't say he was familiar with it. This was just a surprise assessment of Hu Xiaomin.
Zhang Hui said respectfully: "Director Zhao, Hu Xiaomin called just now."
Zhao Shijun asked casually: "How is it?"
Zhang Hui pondered: "For someone who only joined the agents headquarters today, his performance is pretty good."
Hu Xiaomin was able to stay in the Far East Hotel for two hours, which means he was very patient. It was not easy for him to find out the room where the man lived and notice other suspicious people.
But Hu Xiaomin had not received professional training after all, so he had already neglected his duties by asking about the room number where the other party lived. If the target was really an agent, Hu Xiaomin's behavior would be enough to alarm the other party.
Zhao Shijun nodded: "Hu Xiaomin has not received special training, so he may need to learn more in his business."
What he really values Hu Xiaomin is the other party's overall view. He has many capable spies under his command, but few people have such a view of the overall situation. If you train well, you may be a good helper.
