After eating cherry meat and drinking two ounces of wine, Xie Xuan took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on after paying the bill, and walked to the shoe stall at the door.
"Shine your shoes."
Xie Xuan walked to a young man's shoe stall, sat directly on the bamboo chair opposite, and spoke with a slight Shenpu accent.
The chair in front of the young man's shoe stall was different from others. It had a cushion on it, and there was a burnt black mark on the back of the chair.
"Okay."
The young man raised his head and glanced at Xie Xuan, then immediately took out a towel, brush and shoe polish, and started moving quickly.
After polishing the shoes, Xie Xuan's leather shoes were brand new. He took out a ticket and handed it over: "Thank you, you don't have to look for me anymore."
The young man received the money and immediately said: "Thank you."
When he was about to take the money in, he found a piece of paper stuck in the money.
His heart moved and he immediately stuffed the money into his pocket.
When he walked in the direction of Xie Xuan, he found that the person had disappeared.
After a while, the young man closed the stall and went home.
Half an hour later, the young man showed up at the brown hemp rope shop on the side street. After he knocked on the back door, Geng Sicheng opened the door.
The young man looked around and quickly walked in.
After Geng Sicheng closed the door, he walked inside and asked softly: "Fang Lin, why are you here?"
"Someone passed me a note."
Geng Sicheng asked in surprise: "Is it that comrade from Shenpu?"
Fang Lin shook his head: "I don't know, he didn't say the password."
He is the traffic officer assigned to Xie Xuan by the organization. His daily task is to shine shoes at the entrance of Da Hongyun, waiting for the comrades from Shen Pu to join him.
The superior gave him a secret code, and the other party would first say the secret code: Can my shoes be cleaned?
Then he replied: Of course, if you can’t wipe it clean, there’s no charge.
He replied again: Then don’t wipe it clean.
But the other party only said two sentences in total, the first sentence: "Shine your shoes", the second sentence: "Thank you, you don't have to look for me anymore."
If he hadn't seen the note in the money, he might not have discovered that someone had sent him information.
After walking to the room, Geng Wenzhi was waiting for them with a dry cigarette.
Fang Lin immediately took out the note: "Geng Shuji, someone gave this to me."
Geng Sicheng immediately brightened the oil lamp in the room. After Geng Wenzhi walked over, he opened the note close to the lamp and read it.
However, he looked carefully at the note and found that there was not a single word on it.
Geng Wenzhi said in surprise: "This...why is there no word?"
Fang Lin said in surprise: "No words?"
He never expected that there was no words on the note. Wasn't he just kidding himself?
He regretted it now. He shouldn't have rushed back here without seeing the note clearly. If he hadn't attracted the enemy, it would have been bad.
Fang Lin was very ashamed and said: "Geng Shuji, I'm sorry, I came here without looking."
Geng Sicheng standing next to him suddenly said: "Let's put it on the fire and roast it."
Upon hearing this, Geng Wenzhi put the paper on the flame of the oil lamp and heated it back and forth.
After a while, words actually appeared on the note.
Fang Lin said in surprise: "What...is going on? Can the words still appear on their own? Are they yellow words?"
Geng Sicheng explained: "This is written with special water. After writing, the words are invisible and must be burned with fire. The yellow words are most likely written with rice soup water."
Fang Lin praised: "You are still well-informed."
Geng Wenzhi stopped talking after seeing the words on the paper.
The first two lines on the paper are the code for the joint: "Can my shoes be wiped clean? ...Then don't wipe them clean."
Seeing these two lines of words, Geng Wenzhi finally calmed down.
However, the following words almost made him scream: Sun Bingcheng had rebelled, and he was instigated by Shi Senlin, head of the Suzhou Station of the Secret Service...
Geng Sicheng asked: "Dad, what's wrong?"
This is confidential information. Even if he is a member of the municipal committee, he cannot read it casually.
In life, they are father and son, but at work, they are superior and subordinate. Geng Wenzhi didn't let him see it, and he absolutely couldn't.
Geng Wenzhi did not reply directly, but said to Fang Lin: "Xiao Fang, go and call Hongmei. We have a meeting tonight."
Fang Lin said: "Okay."
When the municipal committee meets, he, a traffic officer, becomes a security guard.
He would stand guard at the intersection of the side streets, and if anything unusual happened, he would immediately sound the alarm.
Soon, Zhu Hongmei came over. The three of them were having a meeting in the room inside, while Fang Lin kept watch at the street entrance.
After Xie Xuan returned to the Suzhou hotel, he had a good sleep. Today he contacted comrades of the Suzhou underground party and successfully passed on the information.
Xie Xuan formulated a plan for the Suzhou Municipal Committee, which would not only get rid of the traitor Sun Bingcheng, but also cause Suzhou Station to suffer a big loss.
When Xie Xuan was about to go out for breakfast in the morning, Shi Linlin suddenly came to visit him in his room.
"Director Xie, I'm taking the liberty to pay you a visit. I won't disturb you, right?"
Shi Linlin's eyes were red. He barely slept last night, thinking about how to talk to Sun Bingcheng and perfect the plan Xie Xuan said.
Xie Xuan said casually: "It's okay, I'm just about to go out."
"I'd like to keep you for a few minutes to talk about something."
"Say it."
Shi Linlin asked: "I will meet with Sun Bingcheng later, and there are a few things I haven't thought through yet. If Sun Bingcheng doesn't join us, wouldn't our arrangement be a waste?"
Xie Xuan said: "Then you ask Sun Bingcheng to tell the underground party the location of the radio station. If the underground party does not contact the radio station, it means that Sun Bingcheng also has a problem."
"Yes, you can test him again in the opposite direction."
Shi Senlin asked again: "But what if the underground party asks Sun Bingcheng to contact the radio station?"
Xie Xuan said: "Then does Sun Bingcheng have a chance to come into contact with people from the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee? As soon as he comes into contact, he will be monitored immediately. The important people in Shenpu cannot be found, and we must not lose sight of him anymore."
Shi Linlin said worriedly: "But what if Sun Bingcheng is exposed?"
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "You can just discuss it with him. What does he want to do if he is exposed? If we can destroy the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee, who will know that Sun Bingcheng is one of ours?"
Shi Linlin said: "I think what you said is very complicated. I have to write it down and digest it when I go back."
He originally thought that as an old CCP leader who had handled CCP cases before, it would be a piece of cake for him to test Sun Bingcheng?
However, Xie Xuan's plan has many options. Every choice made by Sun Bingcheng or the underground party's response will affect the final result.
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, take your time, we have the initiative, we can take it one step at a time, and first see if there will be any movement from the underground party."
He is very calm now, after all, he has a chance to win.
In Xie Xuan's view, no matter what happens, there is no need to worry.
However, he didn't know that something happened... beyond his expectation.
