There was actually more than one drawing in the briefcase, and before Tang Cheng planned to hand it over to Hans, he had already made a copy according to the original drawing. Although Hans is now given the original drawing that he extracted from the system, he has also prepared a copy for Zhang Jianghe. He will give the copied drawing to Zhang Jianghe only when Tangcheng returns to Chongqing. Tang Cheng didn't react at all to Hans' caution. He just smoked and drank water, silently waiting for the news to arrive.

Coincidentally, just when Tangcheng asked Hans to help find a foothold for the Military Command Shanghai Station in the concession, Hu Kai, who had lost contact with Ma Qing'er for more than 20 hours, was also in a state of restlessness. Hu Kai and Ma Qing'er are a pair of partners. Many of their partners are on the periphery of Shanghai Station. Some even do not receive tasks from Shanghai Station for several months. But once the task comes, they will not It's a small thing.

Hu Kai and Ma Qing'er were in charge of a secret contact point. Their secret contact point was originally responsible for delivering some instructions from the headquarters, or providing weapons hiding assistance for the Shanghai Station's operational missions. In other words, Hu Kai and Ma Qing'er were under dual command from the Shanghai Station and the Military Command Headquarters at the same time, but Ma Qing'er did not inform Tang Cheng of this. Due to an abnormality during the connection, Hu Kai did not return to the contact point immediately after escaping. When he rushed back to the contact point, he found that the contact point had been sealed by the concession patrol room.

The contact point was sealed by the patrol room, and Ma Qing'er was missing. Hu Kai, who was terrified, did not dare to inquire about the details around his residence, so he immediately rushed to Shanghai to seek help from another contact point in the French Concession. "Are you sure Ma Qing'er is missing and not arrested?" In the secret room of the contact point, Hu Kai was being questioned. Being sealed off the secret contact point is not a trivial matter. Shanghai Station must treat it with caution, so questioning Hu Kai is necessary.

"I carefully checked the situation around the contact point. Although I didn't dare to ask acquaintances about the situation, I heard some information from the nearby cafe. There was a gunfight at the contact point. Specifically, it should be in the alley next to the contact point. Someone was repairing the contact point last night, and there was also a shooting at the contact point. Someone came from behind the patrol house in the concession and took away the body. There was also a shootout a little later across the street from the contact point. I went to see it. It should be The gunfight occurred after Ma Qing'er left the contact point and was caught up again."

As the person in charge of maintaining the contact point for a long time, Hu Kai is very familiar with the terrain around the contact point. When he learned that someone had fired a gun in the alley next to the contact point, Hu Kai's first reaction was to guess that Ma Qing'er had left the contact point. Escape. Hu Kai's answer did not dispel the doubts of others in the secret room, because according to Hu Kai's story, Ma Qing'er was good at intelligence analysis rather than specific actions. How did a woman who couldn't even shoot a gun get from Who successfully escaped from a situation surrounded by enemies?

"I guess someone is secretly helping!" In the corner of the secret room, the man in black who had been silent suddenly spoke. Anyone help? The other people in the secret room, including Hu Kai, all turned to look at the man in black. The latter did not feel uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and just whispered to himself. "If there was a gunfight at the contact point last night, and there will be another gunfight later, the most reliable explanation is that the woman named Ma Qing'er was rescued from the contact point. Only one woman can be responsible. There is no chance of a successful escape."

Hu Kai didn't know who the man in black was, but judging from the reactions of other people in the secret room, he should be familiar with the man in black. Hu Kai blinked when the words came to his lips and did not express his doubts. The man in black didn't pay attention to Hu Kai's reaction at the moment. He was still immersed in his own thinking atmosphere. He habitually rubbed the joint of the index finger of his other hand with his fingers. The man in black slowly raised his head.

"That's right, the woman in the contact point should have been rescued by someone, and the person who shot in the alley next to the contact point last night should be that person, or a group of people..." As if to cater to the black clothes Before the man in black could finish his analysis, a hole suddenly appeared on the door of the secret room, and a piece of folded paper was handed in from outside the secret room. This piece of paper records the news that the Juntong Shanghai Station has just received, most of which contain details of the attack on the contact point last night.

"Lao Jiu's analysis just now is very correct. There is indeed something we don't know about last night." The paper sent into the secret room was quickly passed around. Hu Kai and others who had read the contents were all heartbroken. Shockingly, this also included the man in black, Lao Jiu. "I didn't expect that there was only one person who saved people, and the extra-high-level courses that had made careful arrangements in advance suffered a big loss. When did our military commander have such a powerful person?" The person who said these words was naturally Lao Jiu, the man in black, is the only one with the best skills in the entire Shanghai Station.

"Now that the situation has been understood, the next step is how to contact Ma Qing'er!" Zhao Song, the person in charge of the contact point, finished speaking and immediately turned his attention to Hu Kai. "Hu Kai, you and Ma Qing'er are partners. According to what you said before, this Ma Qing'er should have no way of contacting her superiors. You are the person who has been in contact with her for the longest time. Please recall it carefully. Didn’t you tell her how to contact her in case of emergency?”

Hu Kai has been in a tense mood, but he knows that Zhao Song's words at this moment are not doubts about himself. Following Zhao Song's inquiry direction, Hu Kai thought about it secretly, and in the end he only remembered a dead mailbox. "I seem to have mentioned a dead mailbox to Ma Qing'er, but I don't know if Ma Qing'er still remembers the location of the dead mailbox." Hu Kai couldn't guarantee that Ma Qing'er could still remember the location of the dead mailbox. After all, he told It had been more than 2 months since Ma Qing'er died in the mailbox.

Hu Kai couldn't guarantee it, but Zhao Song resolutely sent someone to check the dead mailbox that Hu Kai said. "No matter what, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must verify it with an optimistic attitude!" Zhao Song was anxious to find Ma Qing'er, but he actually had another purpose. Like Lao Jiu, the man in black, Zhao Song, the person in charge of the contact point, was also very interested in the mysterious man who rescued Ma Qing'er last night.

Hu Kai asked for help to find the missing Ma Qing'er. At this time, Ma Qing'er, who had already separated from Tangcheng, did not actually return to the hotel. Instead, she went to the street that Hu Kai told her about, looking for someone who could help her. Contact your own dead mailbox. Ma Qing'er is not good at specific actions, but she is good at intelligence analysis, so her IQ is far higher than ordinary people. After confirming that no one was paying attention to her, Ma Qing'er found the dead mailbox and quietly stuffed a marked envelope into the dead mailbox.

The envelope was empty, and the address and recipient's name written on it were also false. Even if the dead mailbox was cracked by the enemy and they got the empty envelope sent by Ma Qing'er, they would not be able to find any useful clues from it. Because the mark Ma Qing'er made on the envelope was not among the words on the envelope, the stained ink ball in the lower left corner of the envelope seemed to be left unintentionally, but in fact it was a special mark left by Ma Qing'er. As long as Hu Kai can see this envelope, he will definitely understand what Ma Qing'er wants to convey through these marks.

The people sent by Zhao Song found the dead mailbox with the same accuracy, but they arrived a little late. They only got the empty envelope left by Ma Qing'er from the dead mailbox, but they did not meet Ma Qing'er face to face. "It's her, she's still alive, and she's in the French Concession." The empty envelope he got from the dead mailbox soon appeared in the secret room. After carefully looking at the stained ink balls in the lower left corner of the envelope, Hu Kai suddenly smiled. stand up. These seemingly suspicious traces were the product of Hu Kai's idle chat with Ma Qing'er half a month ago. They were a special way of contact between the two of them.

Zhao Song and others didn't know where Hu Kai came to these conclusions. Under Zhao Song's questioning, Hu Kai had to point to the traces in the lower left corner of the envelope to explain. "These marks on the envelope look very ordinary, but they actually hide a mystery. These stains are artificially added, and the ink balls are the key. Depending on the spacing and height of the ink balls, they can represent different meanings. This was originally It was a joke between Ma Qing'er and I, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now!"

The secret message Ma Qing'er left on the envelope could only mean two things when translated: French Concession and Patrol Room. According to the information collected by the Military Command Shanghai Station, the operation of the Special High School last night was a failure, and they did not arrest anyone. Therefore, Ma Qing'er, who was still able to deliver letters to dead mailboxes, was definitely not caught in the French Concession patrol room. After secretly recalling the location and surrounding environment of the French Concession patrol room, Zhao Song suddenly realized.

"This Ma Qing'er is really smart. I think what she wants to express is not the patrol house in the French Concession, but the hotel near the patrol house in the French Concession. It is probably the hotel in the same street as the patrol house in the French Concession." Zhao Song's words made people laugh. Hu Kai was ecstatic. If this was the case, he would soon be able to meet and reunite with Ma Qing'er, who had lost contact with him for more than 20 hours. It is a good thing to confirm Ma Qing'er's position, but Zhao Song and the others cannot go looking for Ma Qing'er with great fanfare. As Ma Qing'er's partner, Hu Kai must bear the burden of finding someone at this time.

Tang Cheng, who was still staying in the office of Hans Restaurant, did not know at this time that the Juntong Shanghai Station already had Ma Qing'er's whereabouts and had organized people to look for Ma Qing'er. As time passed, while Tang Cheng waited patiently, Hans finally checked the drawings one by one, and the phone on the table in front of Hans finally rang.
