But it can't be considered a big, normal two-bedroom apartment. If there are six people, on average three people live in one house? If it's just a shortfall, that's it. However, from the perspective of domestic garbage, the military commander's agents could tell that the other party had food and drink, not just meat for every meal, but it was not much different. There are also a lot of oily papers with oil stains, meat residues in kitchen waste, fruit cores and the like. With this living standard, let’s not talk about buying a house, but wouldn’t it be okay to rent another house for relatives?
In addition, judging from the timeline, the other party has been living here for a while, and his living standard is still so high. It is obvious that he is not the one who is short of money. The discovery of this situation made the military commanders even more suspicious.
Soon, Hua Zhang received the password for the joint. As requested, at noon the next day, Hua Zhang had dinner, came to Progress Street, and walked into a private Go club.
This club is not too big, with two floors, each floor is only about 120 to 30 square meters. The layout of the upper and lower floors is similar: there is a hall in the middle, with chairs and chessboards placed at intervals. On the surrounding walls, there are also many famous Chinese and foreign chess records hung for people to watch.
There are two small halls on the left and right, one of which is a tea room. If people are a little tired, they can drink tea, chat and rest in the tea room. On the east side, there is also a slightly larger hall with chairs and a chessboard.
People who play Go in this era generally have some wealth. For ordinary people, in the war years, it was difficult to survive, so who would play with this thing.
It was just after lunch time, and there was nothing much to do in the afternoon. Many people who liked Go were relaxing or socializing in this club. Therefore, there are really not a few people inside. Looking around, nearly half of the chessboards are already being played.
Of course, some may be famous experts here. So there were only a few people sitting next to it, and there were also a few spectators surrounding it, admiring it with relish.
Hua Zhang walked in, as if she was slowly admiring the chess records hanging on the walls. When she arrived on the second floor, she saw a man. This man was about thirty years old, wearing a suit and holding a book about Go.
The book was rolled up in his hand, but the pages were facing outward, revealing the title of the book. Hua Zhang walked over calmly, looked at the map on the wall, and whispered: "The layout of this Zhenlong Bureau is really wonderful."
Hearing this, the man looked at Hua Zhang, who was holding his handbag, with his index finger on the button in front of the bag. The man then smiled slightly and said: "Yes, it is said that this Zhenlong Bureau is from the Song Dynasty. Many other Zhenlong Bureaus today are also conceived based on it."
Hua Zhang said: "There happens to be an empty seat next to me. How about I ask you, sir, to have a chat with me?"
"That's my honor. Please." The man smiled lightly and came to the corner with Hua Zhang. Sit down and start playing chess.
They are both young people. The age is also quite suitable. People who saw them thought they were a couple. Furthermore, the people who appear in this club are all somewhat wealthy, so they are relatively discerning. So even if I saw the two of them, I wouldn't rush over to watch the chess game.
This time it happened to be what the two of them wanted. Both of them were professionals. When playing chess, they also used their peripheral vision to observe the surrounding situation.
Hua Zhang placed a sunspot on the star in the lower left corner and whispered: "Did you find it?"
This man did not mark, but placed a white stone on the opposite star. Then he replied in a low voice: "No. 134, Huisong Road. The people living in this place are very suspicious. After investigation, one of the people inside is probably He Youliang."
"It's very possible?" Hua Zhang said, "You're not sure?"
"No." The man said: "According to observations, No. 134 is a two-bedroom house with an area of about fifty square meters. But there are at least six people living in it. One of them is called Nong Dalin. He is the owner of this house, probably I moved in a year ago, at that time..." At this point, the man stopped talking. But it was Hua Zhang who tapped the chessboard opposite him.
It turned out that Hua Zhang observed a person walking over with his peripheral vision. However, after seeing the two of them, this person did not move forward. Instead, he turned around and left again.
Hua Zhang said: "No, this place is not good. Let's go out and find another place. We just met and we have a good impression."
The last sentence, "We just met and we have a good impression." refers to the state in which the two of them want to go out and go together. In this way, each other knows what behavior to use.
What Hua Zhang means is that even though two people have just met, they don't know much about each other and are not that close. However, at the same time, he has a certain fondness for the other party.
The two people walked out side by side, not too close, but they were only separated by a fist. With a slight smile on their faces, they talked to each other in low voices. The condition can be said to be excellent. Therefore, even if people in the club saw the two of them going out together, they would not have any suspicion.
The two people immediately found a hotel, and at this time the situation changed again. Hua Zhang turned to hold the other person's arm, and this man, although he still had a smile on his face, there was a bit of unruly color in his smile.
So they became two romantic people and checked into a hotel. In this way, after the two people finished talking, it became a normal behavior to leave the hotel instead of staying here directly. After all, although there are many traditions these days, there are also many open-minded people. After all, the lantern area is open on the street. As soon as someone passes by, they will wink at you and generously let you in to play or something.
The two people entered the room and first quickly checked key places such as the lamp, under the table, and the telephone. Nothing was found, it's still very safe. After all, they chose the place randomly.
Hua Zhang said: "Let's go on, Nong Dalin moved to No. 134 Huisong Road a year ago."
"Yes." The man said: "It came a year ago. Before that, Nanjing followed Shanghai's No. 76 and established an agent headquarters. In terms of time, the agent headquarters in Nanjing has existed for some time. . Therefore, it is necessary to build some safe houses. We suspect that No. 134 in Nongdalin is a safe house for the Nanjing secret service of the puppet government."
Hua Zhang asked: "How do you judge the number of people in the room?"
