The problem lies with Wang Ji'an. When underground party comrades went to verify his identity as Long Qihang's friend, they saw no one.
In just one day, Long Qihang was no longer in the Nanshi Detention Center.
Comrades from the underground party asked where Long Qihang had gone, and the reply was three cold words: I don't know.
Gong Bing was anxious now. Long Qihang was not in the Nanshi Detention Center. Is there something wrong? Or is Long Qihang's identity exposed?
He almost called Xie Xuan directly. Currently, Xie Xuan's main working place is in Suzhou. If Xie Xuan went to Suzhou, it would be troublesome.
It is not easy for Xie Xuan to go back to Shenpu. He suddenly went to Suzhou. If he is asked to go back to Shenpu, it will bring trouble to Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan is indeed preparing to return to Suzhou. The Qingxiang has begun. The Japanese and puppet troops will raid the base areas at any time. Providing timely and accurate intelligence will allow our army to take the initiative.
Fortunately, before he returned to Suzhou, he went to the safe house and saw Gong Bing's pick-up order, and then met him.
Xie Xuan asked: "What's wrong? Didn't anyone pick him up?"
Gong Bing smiled bitterly and said, "The person is gone."
Xie Xuan said in surprise: "How is it possible? He was still in the Nanshi Detention Center yesterday."
Gong Bing asked with a worried look on his face: "I don't know, could it be that the enemy suspects you?"
Xie Xuan shook his head: "That's not possible. Do you know where you are going?"
He has so much power now that most people don't dare to investigate him. Even if someone investigates, someone will tell him in advance.
Besides, because he went to Nanshi for inspection, he doubted his identity, and the Japanese and puppets were good at telling fortunes.
Gong Bing sighed and said, "I just don't know."
Xie Xuan asked: "It's impossible. This is not a secret. How could the people in the detention center not tell it? Did I offend someone with my words? Or did I not get any benefits?"
Gong Bing said: "How could a comrade from the underground party give benefits to the enemy? It's probably that the people at the detention center saw him in a hurry and wanted some benefits, so they deliberately didn't say anything."
Xie Xuan said: "If you don't want to let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf. You still have to spend the money that should be spent."
Gong Bing asked: "What should we do now?"
Xie Xuan said: "Ask that comrade to go to the Nanshi Detention Center again and pay the guard a few dollars. If he can't ask, I'll ask around."
If he wanted to ask about Long Qihang's whereabouts, he only needed a phone call.
However, this will arouse others' suspicion.
How could a deputy director of the Secret Service be so interested in an undocumented person?
Details determine success or failure. Don't think that this is a small matter. Once someone is targeted, it will become a big deal and even lead to danger.
Gong Bing asked: "Okay, when will you return to Suzhou?"
"Originally it was tomorrow, but it can be postponed to the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, let's meet again tomorrow."
Xie Xuan took out his wallet, took out all the money in it, and stuffed it into Gong Bing's hand: "You transfer this little money to the comrades of the underground party. Don't be stingy if you can do things with money. The price of money, Often it’s the smallest.”
Gong Bing took the banknote and exclaimed: "Why do you have so much money in your wallet? I don't make so much money in a year."
Xie Xuan laughed at himself: "I can't help it, why am I a traitor spy?"
The next day, Xie Xuan and Gong Bing met again.
When he saw Gong Bing's calm face, he knew that things should be done.
Sure enough, before he opened his mouth, Gong Bing said: "Comrade Long Qihang was transferred to the Nanshi Branch of the Police Department. After spending some money, he has come out."
Xie Xuan asked: "Is he okay?"
Gong Bing said: "It's okay. Under the escort of other comrades, we left Shenpu by sea."
How could Long Qihang be allowed to stay in Shenpu after something like this happened.
Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
He has been thinking about this matter. If Long Qihang fails to rescue him, he must use his own connections to fish him out.
Since the enemy did not suspect Long Qihang, he only needed to spend some money, which was much better than him going to get people.
Xie Xuan often helps others to recruit people, but that is to collect money to recruit people, and the ones he captures are all the sponsors.
Let the underground party pay for the redemption of people themselves, and there will never be any future trouble.
Gong Bing said: "One more thing. In view of the continuous raids by the Japanese and puppets, the New Fourth Army military headquarters hopes that we can purchase a batch of medicines."
Xie Xuan said: "Purchasing medicines? Ask the underground party comrades to find Zhu Chaoyang. He will definitely have a way."
Gong Bing asked: "What if Zhu Chaoyang can't do anything?"
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "He has no choice, and I will find a way for him. If he doesn't want to find me, he can ask the comrades of the underground party to help him give him ideas and ask him to find people from the Japanese and puppet sides. I believe that in his hands, If there is no medicine, you will definitely come to me."
Zhu Chaoyang is an upright doctor. If the underground party finds him, he will do his best.
Gong Bing said: "He is not our comrade, so there is no need to trouble him so much, right?"
Xie Xuan said: "He sympathizes with us in his heart and is willing to contribute to the war of resistance. Shouldn't such a person develop into his own comrade?"
Gong Bing nodded: "This can be considered."
Xie Xuan said: "As the Qingxiang progresses, the Japanese and puppet troops will frequently invade the base area, and the New Fourth Army will need more and more medicines. I suggest that the Shenpu underground party set up a Western medicine store, and then introduce Japan to them. This way, we can not only purchase medicines openly, but also purchase medicines that are not available on the market.”
Gong Bing said solemnly: "I will report your suggestions to my superiors."
Relying on Xie Xuan's connections to obtain medicines can only solve temporary difficulties. If you want to fundamentally solve the problem, you can only open a Western medicine store yourself.
Sure enough, at noon the next day, Xie Xuan received an unprecedented call from Zhu Chaoyang.
Zhu Chaoyang asked: "Mr. Xie, I have something to do with you. Can I meet you?"
"Okay, come here."
Zhu Chaoyang said: "I don't want to go to your place, please come to the hospital."
Xie Xuan joked: "Is this your attitude of asking for help? It's just time for dinner, let's have a meal together, you treat me."
Zhu Chaoyang said helplessly: "Okay."
Last night, someone suddenly came to his home and begged him to help get a batch of medicine.
Although Zhu Chaoyang is a doctor, he cannot produce large quantities of medicines.
He also knew who wanted the medicine at this time.
The other party was not a businessman, but a simple, upright and kind-hearted Chinese. Although the other party did not identify himself, he had already guessed that the other party must be anti-Japanese.
Zhu Chaoyang found a small noodle shop near the hospital and ordered two bowls of noodles, which was regarded as Xie Xuan's guest.
Xie Xuan pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Is this your attitude towards treating guests?"
"As long as you can eat enough."
Xie Xuan said while eating noodles, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
