Fan Keqin said: "Now that we are in the city, we can slow down a little and let the restaurant serve all the specialties. But we can't drink yet. I'll contact the headquarters."
No one brought a submachine gun because that would be too exaggerated. He just had a short gun hidden with him and entered the old Cantonese restaurant with a huff and a puff. Fan Keqin didn't care what they ordered, but asked a waiter: "Is there a long-distance phone number?"
Telephones at this time were naturally capable of making long distance calls, but the cost was extremely high. Therefore, many people do not have long-distance services. If you want to make a long distance call, you have to go to the telephone office. But public phones, especially in high-end places like this, can still make long-distance calls. After all, public phones are charged, so you just have to pay.
Fan Keqin knew that after the Changsha battle, Japan's offensive advantage was basically over, and it would not be as smooth as before. It will form a stalemate stage of war, which is also an outcome that Japan does not want to see. But the battlefield is like this. If you don’t want to see it, it won’t happen? Therefore, although Changsha can be regarded as a war frontier, it is relatively safe.
Therefore, Fan Keqin made a direct call to Sun Guoxin's home, mainly considering that it was already evening and Sun Guoxin might not be at the intelligence office. When calling him at home, at least Fei Hongxia would be at home and there would always be someone to talk to.
Sure enough, it only took three rings before the other party picked up the phone. Fei Hongxia's voice came out of the receiver and said: "Hello?"
Fan Keqin said: "Sister-in-law, I am Keqin, and I have good news for you." As he spoke, he waved to Sun Qi, who was not far away. The latter ran over immediately.
Fei Hongxia's voice suddenly became surprised, but a little worried, and said: "Keqin, you... have you rescued Qiqi?"
Fan Keqin said: "Yes, Qiqi is right next to me. I asked her to talk to you."
"Hey! Okay, okay." Fei Hongxia said, "Let me talk to her."
Fan Keqin handed the microphone to Sun Qi and said: "Your mother's phone number."
Sun Qi was also a little excited. After all, she was a child who was detained and thrown into a prison. If she hadn't been smart and pretended to be mentally fragile, and she almost cried, she might have been finished long ago. So now she couldn't control it, tears were falling down, and she really cried this time. He took the phone and said: "Mom?..."
Fan Keqin did not disturb her, but walked aside and looked around the hotel. It was already dinner time, and there were quite a few diners, with nearly 80% of the tables filled.
Fan Keqin was afraid of another accident, so he remained very vigilant. After observing for a while, I found nothing special. Only then did he put down his snack slightly.
"Uncle-in-law." After a while, Sun Qi poked him with his hand and said, "My mother wants to talk to you."
Fan Keqin saw her wiping her tears, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, you go to eat first. You don't have to worry about anything else." After saying that, he took the phone and watched Sun Qi return to sit next to Shi Hui. Then he opened his mouth and said: "Sister-in-law."
Fei Hongxia said: "Keqin, I really want to thank you this time. You see, your elder brother is not at home yet. I will call him later and tell him. Hey, Keqin, I didn't ask Qiqi just now. What are you doing now?" Is it okay?"
Fan Keqin said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. We have already arrived in Changsha. I just called you. I was afraid of being uneasy on the road, so I didn't notify you until we got here. Don't worry, this is our Kuomintang-controlled area. Little Japan is still arrogant." stand up."
Fei Hongxia said: "That's good, that's good, Keqin, when can you come back?"
Fan Keqin said: "Well, I guess it will take at least five or six days." He then reassured Fei Hongxia and asked her to inform Sun Guoxin that he and Qiqi would arrive safely. In addition, he also talked about Zuo Yaozhong, which was strange because this person suddenly disappeared, but he couldn't talk too much in detail on the phone because he was uneasy, so after mentioning it, he told the other party that he would wait until he got back.
After hanging up the phone, Fan Keqin paid for the phone and sat down. At this time, including Sun Qi, they totaled twelve people. I ordered eighteen dishes, and also asked the chef to help prepare things that were easy to carry, such as some cooked food, bacon, flatbreads, and the like. Then he started eating and stuffing himself.
Although they didn't drink, this meal was very enjoyable for everyone. After all, when they came all the way, they only ate something portable, and it was only now that they had a good meal.
They're not short of money. Although they can't bring too much, one big yellow croaker costs just as much. It has almost reached the point of spending it casually. After dinner, Fan Keqin said: "Brothers, hold on a little longer. If we don't go back for a day, we won't be able to relax for a day. Grab the food and drinks packed in the kitchen and we'll leave overnight."
No one had any complaints about not stopping in Changsha. After all, all of them showed up this time, and the person who showed up was Sun Guoxin himself, the boss of the Military Intelligence Department. This is much better than making ordinary achievements.
Got in the car and drove all the way to the pier. When he parted ways with the Bald-tailed Dragon, Fan Keqin had told him that as long as he didn't come back, he would keep waiting. As a result, we successfully found his gunboat-modified clipper.
As soon as Fan Keqin got on the boat, a man who was lying down and resting in the canopy behind him immediately sat up and touched the back of his waist with his left hand. It's the Bald-tailed Dragon. When the boy saw that Fan Keqin and others were back, his face immediately lit up with joy and he said, "Sir, is everything going well?"
Fan Keqin smiled and nodded: "It went smoothly." Then he looked at the oil drums in the corner and said, "Are you all ready?"
The bald-tailed dragon nodded and said: "Okay, my brothers from Changsha Station helped to get a few barrels of oil again." Fan Keqin nodded and said: "Where is your shipmate?"
The bald-tailed dragon said: "I asked him to eat. He will be back in a while."
Fan Keqin nodded and said: "Okay, we will set off immediately when he comes back." He waved his hand behind him.
So Fan Keqin trusts the other party so much? No, as long as Fan Keqin returns to Chongqing without completing the task for one day, he will doubt everything. For example, when he was in Guangzhou, he always kept Shi Hui and Wang Zhanyuan separated, and no matter what they did, one person must be left behind. For another example, when picking up equipment, he always kept the old doctor within his sight. He has met Shi Baoguo from Guangzhou Station, but he has not let him participate in any specific actions...
