The personnel reduction meeting of the Central Party Committee ended quickly, and Mediterranean left without looking back. He must have gone to find the old chief to express his loyalty. Today's events made this confidant very sad.
Xu Weiming didn't try to persuade him. If he talked too much, he would appear to be guilty. After some hesitation, he returned to the office, packed up the items inside, and then began to think about a problem.
Do you want to go to Zhuque Street as planned?
The transfer was such a coincidence, it was as if it had been arranged in advance. If this was a trap, he would be falling into a trap now when he went to Suzaku Street. The matter was so important that he had to think more about it.
However, if Qiu Chan is a spy, or the radio station is cracked, it is unexplainable how the enemy knows his true identity without revealing any flaws.
So again, this risk is worth taking, but you have to observe it for a while and confirm that there are no problems before receiving the supplies. Anyway, the things can't escape if they are left there, so don't worry.
After thinking about this clearly, Xu Weiming relaxed his brows, quickly put his personal belongings into a cardboard box, declined a few colleagues to send him to the Jinling Party Headquarters, and called a rickshaw to leave quickly.
Others didn't care. If they got such a good position, they would probably be more anxious than Director Xu. Before reporting it, anything could happen. Things are unpredictable.
If someone takes a fancy to this position, high-level officials may intervene in the next second. In fact, someone did have the idea of interfering, but they just didn't expect the person named Xu to run so fast.
Xu Weiming didn't know this. He took a rickshaw to Dingjiaqiao Station, got on the city train and headed for the Jinling Party Headquarters. This distance was not short, and it happened to pass through the entire Jinling city.
He found a seat at random and sat down. He felt that he might have to find a new place to live. He took a small train to work every day. The route was too fixed and it was easy to be followed, which was very dangerous.
Moreover, the Jinling Party Headquarters is closer to the city, making it easier to move in case of emergency. He thought for a while and thought of a good place - Zhuque Street. He might as well rent a house there.
First, the roads near Zhuque Street are criss-crossed, and the residents are mixed, which is convenient for hiding traces. There is a telegraph office and a train station not far away, and there are relatively convenient channels for evacuation and reporting.
The second is to investigate the material handover point while viewing the house. Even if there is a trap, there is a reasonable explanation for this move. It is not his decision to transfer to the party headquarters. Anyone who has questions should ask Minister Chen.
At this time, the train passed the National Government. Looking at the Construction Commission building flashing past in the distance, he gradually became stunned and didn't know what he was thinking until the train slowly stopped ten minutes later.
"Du~~~"
"We've arrived at the station~"
Xu Weiming suddenly came back to his senses, stood up and followed the crowd into the Zhongzheng Street Railway Station. He saw that the place was bustling with people, including passengers, thieves, beggars, gangsters, and policemen.
He walked to a corner, lit a cigarette, and observed the surroundings naturally. The pedestrians seemed to be ordinary people, with very normal expressions and movements, and no trace of training.
Very clean behind.
At least it's clean now.
But we should not take it lightly. Those Fruit Party agents who appeared at the Central Hospital were very professional. If they were followed by such professional intelligence personnel, it would be difficult to detect problems through their words and deeds.
He was alert again, put out the cigarette butts expressionlessly, walked out of the station gate with the carton in his arms, raised his head to check the direction, and walked towards the Jinling Party Headquarters.
Going from the station to the Central Party Headquarters, you just pass by Zhuque Street. There are residential areas on both sides, with both old-fashioned houses and new buildings. There are shops and stalls along the way, and the security situation is quite complicated.
Xu Weiming was familiar with this place before. After today's observation, he felt that this was a rare lurking place. No wonder Qiu Chan would put the material handover point on Zhuque Street.
After walking less than two or three hundred meters, he saw several small intersections, which was enough to show that the traffic here was developed. It would definitely be a big operation to completely block the surrounding traffic.
A large operation means more manpower, and it also means that it is easy to be discovered. If a group of strong men suddenly appear on Suzaku Street, local residents who are familiar with the situation will definitely know it immediately.
No one knows better than them how many people live in their neighbors' homes and what jobs they do. As long as they find ways to deal with them, no trouble will escape his eyes.
As for how to integrate into the people, this is not difficult for an underground party, not to mention that he has been lurking in Hui Province for seven or eight years. As the county secretary of the underground party Wei, his job is to mobilize the masses.
Xu Weiming thought of this and walked a little faster. He had a hunch that if he could take Zhuque Street into his hands, the organization's intelligence work in Jinling would have a big breakthrough.
Therefore, even if there are no supplies, the investigation of Suzaku Street is imperative. A stable rear area is too important for intelligence operations, at least there is no need to be rushed here and there by the Kuomintang secret service.
When you are a "roving bandit", you will one day face encirclement and suppression, and when to take action depends entirely on the mood of the other party. This kind of behavior of placing your life on the enemy is extremely stupid.
He was walking while thinking about his future plans, and soon arrived at the Jinling Party Headquarters. Facing the newly arrived deputy director of the Zuwei Department, the guard immediately took the carton and led him diligently to report.
There is no need to go into details about what happened next. Several leaders from the party received him cordially and agreed on a time for the reception banquet. They seemed to welcome his arrival, which was obviously impossible.
Xu Weiming understood very well that no officer would want to take over such an important position in Zuzhichu. An airborne faction like him said that it had real power, and it would be a big deal if these old foxes didn't take it away.
So after packing up the office, he left without saying anything about looking for an apartment. He had no intention of getting involved in the daily work of the party department, which made some people feel a little relieved.
They cannot beat or scold the cadres sent by Director Chen personally. I hope this person is really as careless about his work as the rumors say, otherwise even Director Chen's people will not be able to work well.
Xu Weiming understood all this clearly and swaggered into the teahouse next door. Real estate brokers in Jinling like to drink tea and discuss business in this kind of place, which has become a feature.
If you want to find a suitable place to live as soon as possible, you must find these local snakes. He is a strange man who appears alone near residential areas. First, he is conspicuous, and second, he may cause some trouble.
Jinling City Fox Sherat likes to rip off outsiders the most. Although he is not afraid, there is no need to risk exposure for money. If you find a real estate broker, you don't have such worries.
As soon as he entered, he found the target of his trip. There were several well-dressed middle-aged businessmen sitting at a long table. Each of them had a cup of hot tea in front of them and talked quietly to each other.
At the same time, the brokers who were exchanging information also discovered Old K. After working in this business for so many years, it has long been instinctive to identify potential customers, and someone immediately came over first.
"Sir, are you looking for a house?"
This person had his head shaved, but he was wearing a long robe and a mandarin jacket, and a suit of trousers underneath. It was a standard combination of Chinese and Western styles. This kind of person is very common in this age of chaotic thinking.
Xu Weiming nodded slightly and said: "I just moved to the south of the city and want to rent a secluded courtyard. I wonder if my husband can help me. Please rest assured that I will not miss you in terms of remuneration."
Hearing that he wanted to rent a yard, the man with the back of his head showed a smile on his face. This was a big deal. Usually people who rent a house share a house with others. It is cheap. There are not many customers who want a whole yard like this.
"Please take a seat, come here, serve tea."
He invited Old K to a corner of the teahouse, loudly greeted the teahouse waiters to serve tea, and then introduced himself: "I am Yan, I don't know your name, where you work, and whether you have family members or guarantors."
Over there, Xu Weiming blew the foam, raised his eyebrows and said in a bad tone: "My surname is Xu, it's really interesting. Could it be that Mr. Yan has a part-time job at the police station, or does Xu look like a bad guy?"
I live alone, my wife and children are in my hometown. As for the guarantor, I don’t have a guarantor for the time being, so I won’t be able to rent a house. Unexpectedly, I can’t rent a house even with money, so don’t bother me. "
"Ouch, you misunderstood."
The man with a beard who claimed to be surnamed Yan quickly explained: "Yan has no other meaning. The main reason is that renting a house in the name of a couple can reduce trouble. The government is very strict about renting houses.
If Mr. Xu doesn’t have a guarantor, I can contact the landlord to provide security, but the price will be a little more expensive. Those black men have a big appetite, and you don’t want to be woken up by them in the middle of the night. "
Xu Weiming smiled softly, took out his ID from his pocket and threw it on the table. He naturally knew that what the other party just said was true. The Party's rule in big cities was still relatively strict.
For example, according to the requirements of the National Government and the Shanghai Concession Industry Bureau, tenants renting houses must not only register, but also need to meet any of the two conditions of guarantor and family members.
Sixteen years after the Republic of China, party organizations in various places conducted lurking operations in the form of a big family. There were men and women, old and young, but everyone came from all over the world and had different accents, so they didn't look like a family.
Not long after, the superiors began to promote the small family structure of the agency, deploying party members to form families, and using this form to protect the operation of the agency. Revolutionary couples were a widely used method.
Because a small family formed by two party members, a male and a female, as husband and wife requires fewer people, and there is no need to worry about accents, which reduces the risk of exposure. Of course, this method is not suitable for him.
The existence of Qiu Chan is top secret. The more people know about it, the more risk of leakage. Xu Weiming relies on his tiger skin as a party-state cadre and does not need to abide by the so-called regulations on sponsors and family members.
The broker surnamed Yan over there saw something thrown out by a big client and hurriedly picked it up and looked at it. Only then did he realize that this person was the chief of the Central Party Department. No wonder he rented the entire yard so generously.
The man immediately stood up and complimented with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Director Xu. That's no problem. Please come with me to look at the houses. I actually have a few yards that meet your requirements."
"Mr. Yan, I prefer to be quiet." Xu Weiming nodded noncommittally, and then added: "It's best to have an honest person next door to avoid any unpleasantness in the future."
"Don't worry, please."
The real estate agent patted his chest and assured that he knew what the other party meant, which was that he did not want to be neighbors with unscrupulous people. If he met a petty thief, it would indeed be easy to cause trouble.
