The old "Operator" smiled proudly in the darkness.

But at this moment, a beam of light lit up in the caboose, and in front of him was Ma Xiaoguang, wearing a railway uniform.

Ma Xiaoguang held a strong flashlight in his hand and shined the flashlight directly on his face.

"You Japanese spies are so cunning..." Ma Xiaoguang spat.

"The caboose airbrake has been scrapped. It won't be long before the train rushes off the track. By then... hahaha." The other party said with a sinister smile.

"The airlock is broken, but the train may not necessarily run off the track." Ma Xiaoguang said proudly.

"Nani?" The other party spoke his native language in a hurry.

"Take a closer look." Ma Xiaoguang was not in the mood to talk to an enemy agent in this situation, so he just used a strong flashlight to shoot around.

At this time, another person appeared behind him with the same bright flashlight.

Surprisingly, it was Lao Li.

"Boss, the caboose has been decoupled..." Lao Li didn't say much.

Hearing this, the old "operating conductor" unconsciously looked out the window. It was pitch dark outside, but the train that should have been hanging with the caboose now detached itself and ran away, leaving only a little light in the dark night. , leaving a lonely caboose, sliding on the railway with inertia...

Seeing this, he almost fainted. Just as he was in a trance, he heard a gunshot, followed by a sharp pain in his left leg. He fell to the floor with a "pop", and then was hit hard on the back of his head, and then what? I don’t know anymore. (Even if a pistol is hit at close range, the penetrating power of the bullet is very strong, and it can completely incapacitate the person. In those dramas where someone is shot and is still invincible, it is necessary for the plot.)

"Damn it, don't these villains know that they will die because they talk too much? How about talking about martial ethics with these beasts?" Ma Xiaoguang put the gun back into his waist and said angrily.

At the front of the car, the driver and the stoker cooperate as closely as ever. The train is running normally. At this speed, it will soon be able to reach Quancheng on time during the day.

At this moment, there was a muffled sound from behind, and the stoker fell to the ground. A man wearing a railway police uniform was seen standing at the stoker's position, holding a pistol in his hand.

"Drive well, I'll add coal for you..." After that, he put the gun back into the holster and picked up the shovel.

The moment his hand touched the shovel, he suddenly heard a gunshot behind him, "Bang -" and then he didn't know anything else.

Just at this time, the train whistle blew a long "Woo--", making the gunshot less abrupt.

The driver turned around and saw the co-driver putting the pistol back into his waist.

"The boss is right, there is no need to talk nonsense with these beasts." Xiao Lu, wearing the uniform of the co-driver, said, with a faint look like Chief Ma's between his brows.

"Brother driver, don't be afraid. I have to wake up the stoker... and then replace your co-driver." Xiao Lu turned around and said to the driver with some embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, Sir Lu... I can handle it for the time being." The driver said politely in a hurry.

The light in the corridor of the first-class compartment is much better than that in other places, but it is not fully turned on at night. After all, everyone has to rest.

A cleaner was cleaning the corridor. Slowly, he approached General Chiang's box, which he had seen many times during the day.

After entering the box, it was dark inside, and a figure was sitting by the window.

Without too much delay, the cleaner took out a dagger with a blue light on it - it looked like it had been tempered with poison.

Seeing that the dagger was about to penetrate his back, the cleaner found that he could not move any further. When he looked down, he saw a command knife with a handle hitting his chest hard.

The cleaner felt like his heart was turbulent and his blood was surging.

At this time, there was another strong gust of wind blowing behind him. He turned around in his dream, and saw a figure in the darkness holding an unknown object and throwing it directly at him.

The cleaner was not weak either. In this situation, he rolled on the spot and danced the poisonous dagger in his right hand, keeping people away.

Turning around, he was ready to jump to the ground and launch a second fatal blow.

The cleaner had just started to move when his vision suddenly went dark and he couldn't see anything. It seemed that a raincoat or something else had covered his head. Then he felt that his head had been hit hard many times. Don’t know anything anymore…

In the box, the fat man wiped the sweat from his head, wrapped the poisoned dagger in oil paper, and spat: "These devils really don't want their lives..."

"This is a private room, and you can't use guns easily, so we are in trouble." Wu Qiuyi, who was wearing men's clothing, said.

"Spies on such missions always have the belief that they will kill. Our operation today is considered a success." Wu Qiuyi then sighed.

"What about the boss and Lao Li?" the fat man asked.

"It's okay. There is a switch ahead. After the train passes, the caboose will be sent to a nearby remote station by the switch. The caboose has no power and they will stop soon. I used the radio and this plan in Zhucheng to make these plans. I have contacted the brothers from the Secret Service nearby." Wu Qiuyi replied, but she still couldn't help but look worried.

"The crisis in the car has been resolved. Everyone can have a good rest." She then comforted the fat man and said.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, the train slowly drove into Quancheng Station.

Wu Qiuyi, Fatty, and Xiao Lu changed into casual clothes, pretended to be General Chiang's attachés, and left Quancheng Station on the Jinpu Railway.

The train station in Quancheng is also a sight to behold. Two European-style train stations with slightly different styles stand opposite each other on the square. Jinpu Railway Quancheng Station is a three-story Gothic building in Baroque style, tall and majestic. Opposite the square is the Quancheng Station Building of the Jiaoji Railway. It is in German classicism style, with curved dormer windows on the large Mengsha-style roof. The outline of the building's facade is rough and powerful, with elegance in its rigor and agility in its heaviness. There are two opposite stations in a square. The reason is due to the dispute over the right of way in this era, which I will not go into details here.

As soon as she left Jinpu Road Quancheng Station, Wu Qiuyi saw Ma Xiaoguang and Lao Li waiting at the exit, and her hanging heart was finally relieved.

Ma Xiaoguang was tired from work. It looked like he had been on the road all night. He must have driven here overnight in a car. Lao Li also looked tired.

After bowing slightly to the general, the two joined the entourage.

"Is everything safe?" Ma Xiaoguang asked Wu Qiuyi.

"Everything is safe, your arm..." Wu Qiuyi asked with concern.

"It's okay. It was handled well. It's no big problem. Let's change trains quickly," Ma Xiaoguang said.

Soon the group boarded the Jiaoji Railway train from Quancheng and arrived safely at Qindao at about nine o'clock in the evening, which also has a beautiful name - Daocheng.

The next day, at the Qindao Port pier, the German passenger ship "Saxony Express" was moored at the pier.

"Little friend Xiran, after seeing you for thousands of miles, you will have to say goodbye. You don't want to send me to Germany..." the general said to Ma Xiaoguang jokingly.

"I'd like to, but if I don't have a ticket, I'm afraid I'll be kicked off..." Ma Xiaoguang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's just send it here. No matter how arrogant the Japanese spy is, he won't dare to make trouble on a German passenger ship for the time being." The general said with relief.

The group stopped in front of the trestle and watched the general board the passenger ship.

Ma Xiaoguang also knew that the general's trip should be safe.

"Let's go back. By the way, let's rest for two days after returning to the hotel. The journey has been quite tiring." Ma Xiaoguang said while looking at the tall and slowly moving hull of the "Saxony Express".

It basically started forty-eight hours ago, and the entire team didn't take any rest. Unexpectedly, Rite was so crazy and cunning, launching wave after wave of raids, especially the second wave of destruction on the caboose, which completely took advantage of human psychology. Misunderstandings. If I hadn't had the aura of the protagonist and suddenly thought of this, I would have made a mistake. Fortunately, the brothers in my team worked hard and didn't make any mistakes. I also had plans for many situations at the time, so there were no surprises along the way. risk.

Everyone has not had a holiday since following Boss Zhong (Tamaba Hideki), and it has been day and night. Now that we have come to this beautiful Qindao, there are no tasks for the time being, so everyone might as well take a rest.

The group checked into the Central Hotel on Taiping Road.

The next day, Lao Li, Xiao Lu and Fatty said they wanted to catch up on their sleep, so they stayed in the hotel room and refused to go out despite Boss Ma's coercion and inducements. In desperation, Boss Ma had no choice but to be invited to go to Zhongshan, the most prosperous place on Qindao, with MISS Liu. Come and experience the exotic charm of this unique city.

Boss Ma is a little depressed. Why do beauties, whether in previous lives or in future generations, enjoy shopping so much?

Although I am complaining in my heart, I still have to pretend to be a gentleman on the outside...

The two of them walked all the way, and MISS Liu looked at her very unhappy. This was completely different from her cold expression of analyzing intelligence, deciphering codes, and killing Japanese special forces. Alas, a woman is a born drama queen - Boss Ma is here I sighed in my heart, but of course there was still a warm smile on my face.

At noon, we ate on Zhongshan Road. The food was of course seafood, the price was quite reasonable, and there was no prawn incident that Ma Xiaoguang was worried about.

After the meal, MISS Liu's interest did not diminish, and it was not advisable to sit for a long time after the meal, so naturally he still wanted to continue shopping.

There is a Xinyu Flower Shop on the corner of the street. It is late spring and early summer, and naturally it is full of flowers. There are all kinds of flowers inside and outside, such as roses, lilies, hydrangeas, tulips... colorful and fragrant. Come, especially the large bouquet of blue hydrangeas at the entrance of the store is even more unique. Women all like flowers, so Wu Qiuyi walked in casually.

The owner of the flower shop is a young woman with a beautiful appearance and an approachable attitude, but she is not overly enthusiastic, making her customers feel like they are in the spring breeze.

MISS willows are tasted in bunches and pots with great grace...

Just when she was bored, Boss Ma, who was walking behind her, saw MISS Liu's left hand behind her back and made a warning gesture to him. He couldn't help but cheer up and observe the flower shop carefully.

I looked carefully and found nothing unusual.

When the two came out of the flower shop, Ma Xiaoguang was a little puzzled.

"The flower shop is fine, but the flowers placed at the door are a little different." Wu Qiuyi said.

"Isn't it a blue hydrangea?" Boss Ma was a little puzzled. Of course, our Boss Ma doesn't know everything. It's normal for him to not understand some things occasionally.

"The flower language of blue hydrangea is romance and happiness, but its flower language also means betrayal and fickleness." Wu Qiuyi said.

"I see, just a bouquet of flowers can't explain anything..." Boss Ma said solemnly.

"How about going to have a cup of coffee?" Miss Liu suddenly raised her voice and said.

Following the direction of sight, there happens to be a cafe called "Encounter".

On such an afternoon, lazily basking in the sun and sipping coffee is indeed a pleasant thing.

After entering the cafe, the waiter moved the two of them to a position by the window where they could get some sunlight. The sunlight at this time of year was still warm, and it felt very comfortable on their bodies.

Ma Xiaoguang and the two of them were in a position where they could see the flower shop.

The entire Zhongshan Road is very bustling with pedestrians, and the business of Xinyu Flower Shop is also good.

At this time, a man walked leisurely through the flower shop. When he saw the bouquet of blue hydrangeas, he seemed to be stung. He looked up and looked around, then turned around and called a rickshaw. It seemed to be flying. The ground ran away.

Several young men in different colors ran out of the business store diagonally across from the flower shop. The leader was a thin man with a long face, who looked a bit sinister. He angrily slapped a man in a gray plaid dress. The man slapped him in the face and cursed at him: "Idiot, didn't you say that what happened today was foolproof?"

The man who was scolded said aggrievedly: "We have to meet as promised, and there is absolutely no news leaked from my side..."

The leader, the lanky man, said with a dejected face: "Forget it, let's go back first and let everyone discuss what went wrong." He turned around and said to the scolded man: "If you really leak the news, I will kill you."

Seeing this situation, Boss Ma and MISS Liu completely understood that there was nothing wrong with the flower shop itself, but due to its good location, it was a good observation post. Once the police arrived, they would use different flower languages ​​​​or agreed secret codes to inform themselves nearby. , which is an extremely safe setting.

But the people who arrested and eliminated the people were not people from the Qindao Station of the Fuxing Society's Secret Service. It seemed that they were either from the Party Affairs Investigation Department or the local police station... The situation was unclear, so it was still not appropriate for a dog to meddle in other people's business.

After shopping for a while, MISS Liu was in high spirits and bought a lot of large and small bags, which exhausted our boss Ma.

Back at the Central Hotel, it was just past 3 pm, and the three generals had already gotten up and were hiding in the room playing poker.

Seeing that Miss Liu had prepared gifts for everyone, everyone was overjoyed.

Everyone packed up and prepared to go out to enjoy the night view of this island city in the evening. Although Boss Ma had denied Mr. Ma's face in the morning and he didn't care about it, the brothers couldn't deny it again and again.

A group of five people had just gathered in the lobby and were discussing how to get in the car when suddenly a sharp siren sounded outside the Central Hotel. A group of policemen carrying long guns quickly blocked the door of the hotel.

Soon a group of people came in from outside and said loudly: "No residents here can leave. We suspect there are dangerous elements here..."
