Chapter 284 Thrilling clearance
Jing'an Temple.

"Mr. Qian, please come with me." The abbot abbot said to Qian Weiren who was guarding the entrance of the main hall.

Qian Weiren withdrew his gaze with some reluctance, turned his head and said to the abbot, "I asked Comrade Cheng Jinyun to find that photo. She hasn't come back yet. I hope nothing happens to her. After I evacuate, please let me know about this matter." Tell Uncle Li, if the photos are discovered by the Special Higher Class or people from No. 76, please organize to help transfer my wife who is lurking in Tianjin."

"I will tell Uncle Li, Mr. Qian, please rest assured." Abbot Abbot nodded in agreement.

On the street, Cheng Jinyun walked slowly, and the spy following her seemed a little impatient and suspicious.

"Miss, didn't you say that your home is nearby? Why haven't you arrived after walking for so long?"

"Just a little ahead, we'll be there soon." Cheng Jinyun dealt with it casually, while quickly thinking about ways to get out of trouble in his mind.

The best way she can think of right now is to find a place to kill the damn spy behind her!

A scalpel slipped from the cuff, and the sharp edge shone coldly under the dim streetlight!
Cheng Jinyun looked at the entrance of the alley in front of her, and already had some calculations in her heart, so she turned her head and smiled at the spy. Just as she was about to speak, the door of the house next to her suddenly opened, and a man appeared in front of her, directly grabbing her arm .

"I don't see you when I wake up, do you know how worried I am!"

"You..." Cheng Jinyun was startled, and almost stabbed the man with the scalpel in his hand.

"What about me, come home with me, how many times have I told you to ignore the movement outside at night, ignore it! You just don't listen! In case the anti-Japanese elements are fighting with the Japanese, bullets don't have eyes, don't think This is the concession, so they dare not shoot!"

Zhang Jin dragged Cheng Jinyun into the room involuntarily, then stared at the spy with a suspicious expression.

"My friend, what are you doing with my sister? If you don't leave, I will call the police!"

"You... take care of your sister in the future, don't let her run around, it's easy to cause accidents!" The spy was about to get angry, but thinking of his mission, he had to hold back his anger, say a word coldly, and then turned and left.

Zhang Jin closed the door, turned around and looked at Cheng Jinyun in the house, and said angrily, "What's the matter with you? You were asked to take someone to Jing'an Temple, why did you go back to your original residence? Don't you know that the place has been exposed! What's wrong with you?" You should be lucky that they didn’t arrest you directly when you became a secret agent on No. 76, otherwise you’d be waiting to be tortured!”

Cheng Jinyun looked ashamed and embarrassed, but he still explained to himself in a low voice: "I know there will be danger, but I have to go back. Mr. Qian hid a photo of their family of three, and he didn't have time to destroy it when he evacuated, so he told me to definitely Can't let this photo fall into the hands of the enemy, otherwise his wife in Tianjin will be at risk of being exposed. Mr. Qian has already lost his daughter, and he can't let him lose his wife anymore, so I took advantage of the special high class and 76 The person from No. 76 left and came back secretly to take photos, but I didn’t expect the person from No. [-] to come back.”

"Where are the photos?" Zhang Jin asked.

"Here." Cheng Jinyun quickly took out the hidden photos.

Zhang Jin threw her a lighter: "It's burned."

Holding the lighter, Cheng Jinyun hesitated and said: "Just burn it like this? Now that we have got rid of the risk of exposure, I think it would be better to stay. Lurkers like us rarely have a photo, and this may be Comrade Qian Weiren The only family photo is his only consolation when he misses his daughter and wife, and it means a lot to him."

What Cheng Jinyun said made Zhang Jin a little speechless.

The principle is such a principle, but it doesn't sound right no matter how it sounds!

Zhang Jin was silent for a while, and decided to throw the ball to Mingcheng upstairs, and let him decide whether to burn it or not, which happened to be a matter of their organization.

Seeing that he was silent, Cheng Jinyun asked, "Are you acquiescing?"

Zhang Jin shook his head and said: "I don't care, you can ask your organization's superiors later."

Cheng Jinyun glanced upstairs with some surprise: "You mean this is one of our contact points?"

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm doing here?"

"I thought……"

"Did you think that I took this house as a cover to save you? Overthinking!" Zhang Jin said, "I just happened to overhear your conversation with the spy, and I just helped you when I knew your situation. If you hadn't told the secret agent that your home is nearby, I wouldn't have shot."

Cheng Jinyun has now been reduced to an ordinary character, and her life and death have little effect.If she can save it, she will naturally save it, but if she dies by herself, she can't blame others.

The two were not very familiar with each other, and Zhang Jin and Cheng Jinyun had nothing to talk about, so after half an hour of silence, Mingcheng upstairs finally came down.

"Okay, the matter has been explained, we should go." Mingcheng suddenly saw another figure besides Zhang Jin, and was stunned for a moment, "Cheng Jinyun, why are you here?"

"I let her in." Zhang Jin recounted what happened before.

Cheng Jinyun handed the photo to Mingcheng: "This is Comrade Qian Weiren's family photo."

Mingcheng took a look at it, then returned it to Cheng Jinyun, and said, "Give this photo to Uncle Li, and he will pass it on to Comrade Qian Weiren."

"Okay." Cheng Jinyun put away the photo and turned to look at Zhang Jin.

"If there is nothing else, let's go." Mingcheng looked at the two of them.

The three of them left from the back door of the house. Not long after they walked out of the alley, Zhang Jin suddenly smelled a burning smell.

"There seems to be a fire somewhere."

Both Mingcheng and Cheng Jinyun turned to look at him with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Where is the fire?"

Zhang Jin pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction of the street: "It should be the special agents of No. 76 who set fire to Qian Weiren's residence."

Cheng Jinyun wondered: "Qian Weiren has already left, and they didn't find any evidence inside. Why did they set fire to the house?"

"Who knows!" Zhang Jin shook his head, "Does No. 76 need a reason for doing things?"

"I'll check the situation tomorrow, let's go, get out of here first." Mingcheng said.

In the dark hidden corner outside Qian Weiren's residence, two No. 76 agents hid in the shadows and looked outside.

"Director Wang said that after burning down the house, there is a half chance that people from the underground party will come back to check. Keep your eyes open, don't miss any suspicious people!"

"Understood, our intelligence department is not like the waste in the operation department."

Starting with Qian Weiren's house, many houses on fire appeared in the concession one after another, which made the patrolmen in the concession extremely busy fighting fires and calming people's hearts.

This night is a sleepless night for all parties!
Special high school headquarters.

"Report! Section Chief Nantian, after a careful search, there is no clue of hiding the underground party in this place."

"It's hard work, let's go down."

Talk about this detailed map of the Shanghai Concession on the huge table. Every street and house in the French Concession, the Public Concession and the Japanese-occupied area is drawn in detail in proportion, so that people can see the entire Shanghai Concession at a glance. .

Several circles were drawn on the map, and a line was used to connect these circles to form a large circle, and then several Xs were drawn on certain buildings in the large circle.

Nantian Yoko drew a big cross on a larger building, looked up at Wang Manchun: "Director Wang, this last place has been searched, and there is no trace of the underground party, what do you think of this situation?" Look?"

Wang Manchun frowned, staring at the map and said: "Impossible, the Shanghai Bund Concession is an isolated island, and we have blocked all possible exit roads. It is impossible for the underground party to just disappear without a trace. There must be something hiding there." place!"

"We have searched all possible hiding places of the underground party."

"There must be places we haven't searched."

"Don't tell me that the underground party is hiding in the homes of ordinary people. We can't search every house!"

Wang Manchun didn't speak, just stared at the map and wandered around, finally stopped suddenly, pointed to a place and said, "This is it! We missed this place!"

"Jing'an Temple?!" Yoko Nantian asked, "Are you sure, the underground party will hide here?"

"Section Chief Nantian, this is the only place we missed, and it is our last chance to find the underground party." Wang Manchun said affirmatively, "I can't think of any other place for the underground party to hide except here!"

Yoko Nantian hesitated for a moment before making up his mind and said, "Okay, take someone over there to search immediately!"

"Is the head teacher not going?"

"I want to avoid suspicion."

"To avoid suspicion?" Wang Manchun froze for a moment.

"Although Shanghai is now under the control of the empire, we still have an agreement with the concession. Unless there is a major incident, we can't send troops in. Last night, I made an exception. Now because of your design of fire prevention, you have been arrested by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. If people know about it, I can't directly intervene." Yoko Nantian said.

After such an explanation, Wang Manchun immediately understood, so she nodded and said, "I will definitely find the underground party, and I will never let down the trust of Section Chief Nantian!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out of the office, beckoning to Zhuang Xiaoman who was waiting outside.

"Xiaoman, let's go, everyone follow me to Jing'an Temple! This time, I won't let any of these underground parties escape!"

76, Operations Office.

Not long after returning here, Liang Zhongchun received a call from Nantian Yoko, urging him to take people to Jing'an Temple to cooperate with Wang Manchun in the search operation immediately.

Liang Zhongchun put down the phone, and cursed with an unhappy face: "Damn, these two women know how to order people! They have been busy in the middle of the night and have not gained anything. Now it is almost dawn, and they don't let people rest!"

"That's right!" Tong Hu also echoed.

Liang Zhongchun glared at his brother-in-law, and said angrily: "What kind of song are you? Ah? You are a fart! Why don't you hurry up and prepare the car, and greet all the brothers, and leave quickly, or you will be caught if you go late." Wang Manchun sneered, don't tell me you didn't get angry enough with me first!"

"Brother-in-law, calm down, I'll go right away."

"Call me Director Liang!"

Seeing Liang Zhongchun raising his crutch to hit him, Tong Hu quickly ran out of the office with his head in his arms.

Jing'an Temple.

The abbot and the abbot opened the gate of the temple with two monks, and looked at a group of spies in black at No. 76 outside. His face was as usual, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "May I ask what's the matter for all benefactors?"

"Are you Master Jueyuan, the abbot here? Is Master Jueyuan still asleep at this late hour?" Wang Manchun, who is a lady from a family in Shanghai, naturally knows the abbot of Jing'an Temple.

"It's going to be a while before dawn for morning classes. I'm used to waking up early to prepare." Master Jueyuan said lightly.

"Master Jueyuan, many things happened tonight. In order to avoid our pursuit, the anti-Japanese elements set fire to the concession and caused riots. In order to restore the peace of the common people, we must catch these vicious anti-Japanese elements, so I hope you can do something. It's convenient, let's go in and search." Wang Manchun said.

Liang Zhongchun glanced at Wang Manchun suspiciously, thinking when did this woman become so talkative?
Master Jueyuan clasped his hands together and said: "All living beings are skins, and talking too much is an excuse. Since Wang benefactor has official duties, how can poor monks stop him? Please do it yourself. It's just a pure place of Buddhism. I hope that the search will be done lightly. Take it lightly, don't destroy things and offend the Lord Buddha."

"What do you mean, you are bald..." Tong Hu pointed at Master Jueyuan and said angrily.

"Shut up!" Liang Zhongchun quickly scolded, "Director Wang didn't even open his mouth. Why are you in a hurry! We are here to cooperate with Director Wang. She has the final say, and we can only follow orders."

Wang Manchun glanced at the combination of brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and disapproved of Liang Zhongchun's way of setting aside the relationship of responsibility, and said to Master Jueyuan: "We will be careful not to cause losses to your temple."

After finishing speaking, she led the people of No. 76 into Jing'an Temple, and began to search and arrange.

Watching the agents of No. 76 rushing towards the various halls and courtyards in the monastery, the monk beside Master Jueyuan couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Abbot, do you think they will discover our secret?"

Master Jueyuan said: "As long as they dare not disrespect the Lord Buddha, they will not discover the secret here."

"But these people on number 76 are not good men and women, just in case..."

"Wang Manchun lost her father on New Year's Eve, so she still asked me to do the ritual. With this kindness, she should not have done anything too outrageous without conclusive evidence. Not to mention Liang Zhongchun, his wife believes in Buddhism, and he would go to school every now and then. I came here to burn incense, and prayed to the Lord Buddha to bless my husband in safety. There is also a Buddhist shrine invited back from us at home. Even if you don’t look at the Buddha’s face, you have to look at your wife’s face. Besides, he is not the person in charge of this operation, no Will do my best."

Master Jueyuan closed the gate of the temple, turned around and walked towards the temple.

"Instead of preventing them from coming in to search, why don't we open the way generously, so as to alleviate some of their suspicions, besides, there is no underground party hiding in our temple!"

The follower monk nodded, Xin Dao did not hide, and all of them were sent away from the tunnel.

Jing'an Temple is not a big place. Dozens of spies were dispatched on the 76th, and it took less than half an hour to search all the places, even the water tanks.

"did not find."

"Neither here."

"There is no back kitchen either!"

A series of bad news came, making Wang Manchun's brows more and more wrinkled.

She turned around and looked around this Jing'an Temple, but the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere made her feel no trace of peace in her heart, only inexplicable irritability growing in her heart.

The eastern sky turned white.

"Director Wang, it's almost dawn," said Zhuang Xiaoman on the side.

"Amitabha, the sun and the night turn, and the sky will always be bright." Master Jueyuan said, "Benefactor Wang, if the search is over, can you leave? Our temple is about to start morning classes."

Liang Zhongchun reminded: "Director Wang, the abbot asked you something."

After a while, Wang Manchun finally said: "Director Liang, you wait outside with the people from the Operations Department, and show me the front and back."

"What do you mean, what are you doing?" Liang Zhongchun asked in surprise.

Wang Manchun ignored him, but said to Master Jueyuan: "Master, can I stay and do morning class together?"

Master Jueyuan took a deep look at her, smiled and folded his palms together and said, "Of course, Wang benefactor, please."
