In the library, Xu Chengyan changed into a long green cloth gown and hurried to the door. He checked around to make sure there was nothing abnormal. He stepped forward and raised his hand to open the curtain and walked into the library.

At this time, in addition to Ding Mingrui, there was another customer reading in the library. When he saw Xu Chengyan coming in, Ding Mingrui, who was sorting out the bookshelf, quickly put down the books in his hands and came over.

Xu Chengyan glanced at the customer and saw that he was concentrating on reading. Without even raising his head, he said to Ding Mingrui: "Boss, has the "Thousand-Word Poetry Book" I asked for arrived?"

"Here it comes, here it comes, I finally got the old version published by Shandetang. Come with me, please..."

Ding Mingrui raised his hand to make a gesture, ushered Xu Chengyan into the back hall, closed the door, turned around and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

Xu Chengyan didn't sit down and said directly: "It's better to apply to meet with the webmaster. You must do it as soon as possible."

"Are you applying again?" Ding Mingrui's face darkened. During this period of time, Xu Chengyan applied many times and had frequent contact with the webmaster Chu Guangji. He directly accepted various tasks and completely ignored him as the team leader. This made

He was very dissatisfied.

"What's the reason? You have a secret mission again?"

"The stationmaster has told me that I have been given a hush-hush order on the mission I am performing. No one can reveal even a single detail. Otherwise, you will be engaged in military law. You don't want to cause trouble, right?"

Ding Mingrui was speechless, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Not today. Recently, plainclothes people appeared near the contact point. The director told me that this contact point can no longer be used. I am waiting for notification."

"Then activate the emergency contact point!" Xu Chengyan's tone was firm and expressionless, and he was not moved at all.

Ding Mingrui's eyes turned cold, he looked into Xu Chengyan's eyes closely, and said slowly: "You should know that only in extremely critical moments, emergency contact points can be used. If the reasons are not fully found out in the end, we will be severely punished.

punished."

Every intelligence group and station has an emergency contact channel to deal with emergencies. However, once this emergency contact point is used, for the sake of safety, it cannot be used again. If the situation is serious, the emergency contact point is responsible for the contact.

The channel's intelligence agents even need to evacuate, and the operating costs are very high.

When Xu Chengyan heard this, his face immediately dropped. Now that time was running out, he was too lazy to argue with Ding Mingrui. He stepped forward, forced Ding Mingrui back, and said word by word: "Old Ding, let me say it again, I have a very important

The situation report is of great importance and urgent! If you dare to deliberately delay and delay the military aircraft, you cannot afford the consequences. Listen, I must see the station commander before 12 noon tomorrow, otherwise..."

At this point, murderous intent flashed through his eyes, which immediately made Ding Mingrui's heart tighten. He felt a chill rising from his back. He knew that the other party really had murderous intentions.

Ding Mingrui has always been wary of Xu Chengyan. Compared to Ji Yun, Xu Chengyan seems more dignified and less rebellious. However, Ding Mingrui knows very well that Ji Yun is just a pawn, and it is Xu Chengyan who really calls the shots. Now he is directly

Facing Xu Chengyan's threat, Ding Mingrui really felt oppressed.

However, Ding Mingrui is also a tough-minded old agent after all. He felt awe-inspiring in his heart, but his face was calm as usual, and he said calmly: "Why, you still dare to do the following?"

Xu Chengyan would naturally not be so reckless, but he was very dissatisfied with Ding Mingrui's attitude, so he simply made it clear.

"Listen clearly to me. Just two hours ago, we successfully assassinated Masao Yoshioka. Now I have captured important information that needs to be handed over to the station commander immediately. Do you still want to stop it?"

As soon as he said these words, Ding Mingrui felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned on the spot, dumbfounded.

After a moment, he realized what he was saying. Without any more words, he quickly came to the desk, took out a prepared "Book of Poetry" from the drawer, handed it to Xu Chengyan, and whispered: "Go back and wait."

News, I will activate the emergency contact point right away. By the way, as soon as Masao Yoshioka dies, the Japanese will immediately search the whole city. You must be prepared and collect the important things."

Ding Mingrui quickly suppressed his fluctuating emotions and reminded Xu Chengyan that the important things he said were naturally important information. He knew very well that Xu Chengyan was wary of him and would definitely not give him such an important thing.

.

Seeing that Ding Mingrui's attitude was completely different, Xu Chengyan breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, when he heard Ding Mingrui's excuse, he was momentarily annoyed, and indeed there was a hint of murderous intention in his heart.

I secretly decided in my heart that after this operation, I must apply to Chu Guangji and set up a communication channel for myself. Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to have a person like Ding Mingrui standing in the middle.

At this time, his expression softened and he nodded and said, "I understand. You should also be careful not to stay outside for too long."

After saying that, he picked up the book, opened the door and walked out.

Ding Mingrui looked at his leaving figure with mixed emotions in his heart. He had been shocked and a little confused just now.

Masao Yoshioka was actually assassinated? From an intelligence perspective, this was of great significance. It was like two armies facing each other, but the other side's general was pierced through the heart by an arrow from his own archer and was directly beheaded. The victory came so suddenly!

How did Xu Chengyan do it? As the main opponent of the Chinese intelligence agency in Shanxi, Masao Yoshioka posed a self-evident threat to the Chinese intelligence force. An unknown number of Chinese agents died in his hands. The military commander spent a lot of money to assassinate this person.

I paid a huge price, but it was still in vain, but such an extremely difficult task has now been completed.

Ding Mingrui was both surprised and worried at the same time. What he was happy about was that by conferring the head of the enemy chief, he could explain to his superiors and comfort the heroes who had sacrificed their lives in the past. What was worrying was that Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun had made a shocking contribution this time.

, promotion is certain, these two people have always been at odds with me, and I'm afraid it will be even harder to get along with each other in the future.

Xu Chengyan returned to his residence and checked it carefully again. Before he left, he was prepared and everything in his hands was hidden, enough to face the upcoming search operation.

Sure enough, the high-pitched and piercing alarm sounded again, resounding in every street and corner of Taiyuan City. The Japan Special High School Division and its affiliated police stations, security forces, plainclothes teams and other departments were fully armed and deployed to blockade every corner of Taiyuan City.

Search the streets and house-to-house to arrest suspicious persons.

Just a few days had passed since the previous search, and what followed was an unprecedented large-scale search. This made the citizens tremble and panic, and the hidden forces on all sides were also astonished. Countless messages were secretly passed on and exchanged, and they asked each other, but nothing happened.

I don't know what happened.

The block where Xu Chengyan was located belonged to the old city. Soon the police came to the door. There was a banging sound on the door. Xu Chengyan stepped forward and opened the courtyard door. Several police officers rushed in. What was different from last time was that they were followed by

Several security guards armed with long guns.

The leader turned out to be the traitor to the military unification seen during the last search, Lu Mingzhi, deputy chief of criminal investigation of the police station. He personally led people to search the house. Obviously, the intensity of the search this time was much greater than the last time.

As soon as these people entered the door, they pushed Xu Chengyan away, rushed into the room, and began to search through boxes and cabinets.

When Lu Mingzhi saw Xu Chengyan, he was slightly startled. He still remembered what happened a few days ago. Xu Chengyan had a quite different impression on him at that time. When he saw Xu Chengyan again, he immediately recognized him.

"Mr. Xu?"

"Exactly, my lord, you have a really good memory."

Xu Chengyan bowed slightly, with a humble and respectful attitude, showing just the right amount of fear.

This made Lu Mingzhi nodded slightly, waved and said: "Okay, you are a sensible person, so I won't say more. We are doing this as a routine matter, and we are offended!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and a policeman came forward to search Xu Chengyan.

Seeing this, Xu Chengyan could only raise his hands and let the police check him. He had nothing on him. Of course, the police found nothing. But at the end, they pulled out the golden pocket watch from his arms.

.

"Officer, this is not okay!"

Xu Chengyan was shocked. This was his most important thing. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to stop it, but the policeman raised his hand to open it. He turned around and handed the pocket watch to Lu Mingzhi.

These policemen and puppet soldiers have always had dirty hands and are used to reaching out and will not miss any opportunity to make money. It is also common to take advantage of searches to rob property, especially for the powerless.

Civilians just robbed things without any scruples.

Lu Mingzhi reached out and took it, holding it in front of his eyes for inspection. He saw that this pocket watch was exquisite and delicate. At first glance, it looked like a valuable item.

He looked up at Xu Chengyan again, and saw that the person in front of him had a thin face and a gentle temperament. He was wearing a green gown, which had lost some color after washing, and a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet that were also worn out. Although he looked clean, he couldn't hide his tight situation.

Obviously life is not easy.

"Looking at your clothes, I'm afraid you can't even afford this watch chain. Where did this pocket watch come from?"

Xu Chengyan looked at Lu Mingzhi nervously and quickly explained: "Sir, this is a souvenir that my teacher left for me when he died. I have always cherished my life. With this, I still have a small amount of money. I am willing to give it all and please give it to me."

You are so noble..."

Lu Mingzhi looked at Xu Chengyan who was so nervous about the pocket watch that his face turned pale. He guessed that what he said was true. He was different from these low-level policemen. He still wanted to save face and couldn't hold back his face to grab it. Besides, he didn't like this kind of antiques either.

So he raised his hand and threw the pocket watch back to Xu Chengyan, and said with a sneer: "I'm not a robber, I'll scare you!"

"Thank you, thank you so much..."

Hurrying to catch the pocket watch, Xu Chengyan thanked him profusely, quickly put the pocket watch away and hid it in his arms.

Lu Mingzhi was obviously very interested in Xu Chengyan. He looked Xu Chengyan up and down carefully.

To be honest, the figure and appearance of the person in front of me is similar to the characteristics explained in the special high class. He is tall, has slender limbs, and is thin. However, his age is not suitable. He is only twenty-five or six at most, so he is obviously a bit young.

.

In addition, Xu Chengyan has clean eyebrows and elegant temperament. He stands tall, lifts his robe with one hand, and behaves politely. There is nothing inappropriate or pretentious about it. He can tell that he is a scholar. This cannot be faked. The most important thing is that this person is not a pockmarked person.

, does not match the target of this arrest.

However, Lu Mingzhi did not let Xu Chengyan off easily. Although the pockmarked face mentioned in the special higher education course was an important identifying feature, this feature could also be disguised. However, it was difficult to conceal a person's height and body shape, and he always had a vague feeling that the person facing him was

This person is unusual, just for a moment, but I can't tell what's wrong.

At this time, the people who searched the house came out to report that they found nothing suspicious.

Lu Mingzhi glanced at Xu Chengyan and ordered his subordinates: "Keep an eye on this person."

After saying that, he walked into the room and searched it himself. After a while, he walked out of the room. Apparently, he found nothing.

But Lu Mingzhi was not discouraged. He glanced back and forth in the small courtyard. The courtyard was not big and he could see clearly at a glance.

Soon, his eyes stopped at the southeast corner. There were some debris piled here, including dustpans, brooms, shovels, rotten wood, etc. There was also a pile of briquettes for heating next to it, which looked a bit messy.

"Move the stuff!"

Following Lu Mingzhi's order, his men moved forward and moved everything away, but still found nothing.

Lu Mingzhi stepped forward and kicked the pile of briquettes. Shanxi is rich in coal. They usually use briquettes made from crushed cinders for heating and boiling water. Firewood is rarely used. There are also specialized briquette companies on the market that supply door-to-door prices at low prices.

, easy to use, so every household will prepare some.

"Tear these briquettes apart and take a look!"

Lu Mingzhi worked carefully. Once he became suspicious, he would not give up easily. His subordinates did not dare to complain. They picked up a shovel and spread black briquettes around, but there was still nothing.

Only then did Lu Mingzhi give up. He turned to look at Xu Chengyan, nodded slightly without saying anything, and just waved his hand to signal his men to withdraw and leave.

Xu Chengyan felt relieved. Although he had made adequate preparations, he still did not expect that the traitor Lu Mingzhi would come to search the house in person. He seemed to be suspicious of himself, and even bothered him endlessly. Fortunately, he was careful.

Finally got over it.
Chapter completed!
