Chapter 229: Joints
Qiu Junmu looked at a group of subordinates and clamored, all of them excitedly, obviously for Chen Miao's "Notice".
"Deputy Director Qiu, you decide for us. We are just late. Chen Sanshui will deprive us of the exam qualification, deduct our bonuses and reduce our allowances..."
"That's right, there's a reason why we didn't go to the study class..."
"Deputy Director Qiu, we can't let Chen Sanshui bully this way, right?"
“…”
"Okay, shut up, you guys say it one by one, can't you?" Qiu Junmu also had a headache, and the notice stated that from top to bottom, he and Chen Miao should set an example.
Chen Miao must be fine. He asked for leave to go out, so of course it was fine. Although he didn't go there for two nights, he asked for leave to explain the reason, which seemed not enough.
"Deputy Director Qiu, although he said before that the class was opened that there would be punishment for being late and leaving early or skipping classes for no reason, he did not say what kind of punishment it was..."
"I think this is being punished without being taught!"
"Yes, I will be punished if I don't teach you."
...
Everyone said something, and I said something, that was full of righteous indignation. Qiu Junmu also knew that Chen Miao had made this out as soon as he came back, probably to take revenge on his absence before, he would wear small shoes for Wu Tianlin and others.
He took a revenge with openness.
"Okay, you all go back and work with peace of mind first, I'll deal with this matter." Qiu Junmu made a promise to his subordinates.
Since he became the deputy director of the inspection office, he has never been to Chen Miao's archives office. Although he is in peace and has no trouble, he has some intention of confronting each other.
Chen Miao is the official director, and he is the one who resists the disadvantage. Qiu Junmu is not stupid, so he immediately shrank back after showing his head a little.
He is waiting for an opportunity.
Although he didn't know when this opportunity would come.
But now maybe it's an opportunity.
After cleaning up, Qiu Junmu decided to go to Chen Miao to discuss it himself. If the agreement cannot be reached, consider other things.
Although Chen Miao is the director of the inspection office, according to the rules of No. 76, only Ding and Lin can use secretary, so Chen Miao gave Han Laosi a position of "assistant".
Of course, this position is actually the job of a secretary. Han Laosi also serves as a team leader in the inspection brigade.
"Han Zhuang, is Director Chen here?" There is no need to communicate with Chen Miao's office department, but since he met Han Laosi, Qiu Junmu couldn't refuse to greet him. After all, he would still greet him first.
"The third brother is not here, I'm out." Han Laosi replied without thinking.
"Go out?" Qiu Junmu was stunned. Don't you know you were coming, you are avoiding it?
"If Deputy Director Qiu doesn't believe it, you can go in and take a look. If you came one step earlier, you would have met it." Han Laosi didn't really think much.
"Since I'm not here, I'll go back first." Qiu Junmu felt very embarrassed. Is this arguing? I'm just going back like this, how can I explain to my group of subordinates?
"By the way, Director Chen said when will he come back?"
"I don't know this. Can you explain to me if the sir goes out to do business?" Han Laosi said, "Is there something wrong with you?"
"Yes, let's discuss something with Director Chen."
"Then wait for him to come back, I guess he will come back in the afternoon."
...
Chen Miao really didn't mean to avoid Qiu Junmu. He was remembering the meeting with the comrades of the Communist International at noon today.
So I found an excuse to go out.
He is much more free now than in the past, and no one cares about going out alone, but he needs to be responsible for safety issues.
There is actually no problem with going out temporarily during the day. There are observation posts set up by Wu Yunfu around No. 76. As long as a suspicious person appears, he will be arrested immediately.
So, it is very difficult to play improvised assassination.
Nanjing Road, one of the most prosperous commercial streets in the Shanghai Public Concession, Chen Miao’s past horse racing club was actually located on Nanjing Road, but that was on the west side.
Therefore, Chen Miao is very familiar with Nanjing Road. Pioneer Bookstore is also very famous on Nanjing Road. The name "Pioneer" is also a sign of the ambition of the bookstore owner.
The bookstore is mainly engaged in literature, history and social sciences. You can see many Western literary works here, as well as published by domestic writers. As long as you can think of it, you can find it here.
Most of the customers in the bookstore are literary and history enthusiasts, as well as many young students.
In the past, every weekend, it was crowded, but since the War of Resistance Against Japan, a large number of universities in Shanghai moved westward, the bookstores were obviously not as good as before.
Chen Miao parked his car in the alley diagonally across the road, sat in the car and lit a cigarette. After smoking halfway, he rolled up his sleeves, looked at his watch and felt that it was almost done. He got out of the car, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, and walked towards the bookstore.
The bookstore is quiet and the only thing you can hear is the sound of flipping books. Even if someone talks occasionally, it is extremely soft.
No one greeted him. Bookstores are not restaurants. People who read books or buy books are very conscious. They clearly label them on the bookshelf. They want to buy or read books and find them yourself.
Of course, if you need rare books, you can ask the clerk.
Chen Miao was not here to buy books or read books. However, he was still attracted and infected by the atmosphere in the bookstore and decided to visit it first.
Young people prefer popular and novel stories to stimulate their senses and have great attraction to them, while older people prefer books such as philosophy and history. They have more experience and are more willing to find spiritual resonance and exploration of historical truth.
Chen Miao walked to a relatively conspicuous position and took out a book by Mr. Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" from the bookshelf. He liked Lu Xun's and his comments very much, his sharp writing style, and the ruthless whipping of the ignorant and corrupt old society between the lines. Although he was cynical, he felt refreshed. After reading it, it made people feel comfortable.
"Sir, your pen is good, where did you buy it?" Chen Miao was immersed in the book without knowing it, and suddenly a sound sounded in his ear.
As soon as he looked up, Chen Miao saw a man who was about the same height as him, wearing a black leather jacket and brown glasses.
There seemed to be a tone in his accent.
"Oh, I didn't buy this pen, it was given by a friend."
"Is that true? I also have a pen, which was also given by my friend." The man in a black leather jacket also took out a pen from his close-fitting pocket.
"It's exactly the same as mine?" Chen Miao took out the pen from his pocket, compared the two and said in surprise.
"Yes, this is such a coincidence." The man in the black leather jacket nodded.
The headset, the code and the token are all matched, and this is considered as the headset.
"This is not a place to talk, let's find a quiet place?" Chen Miao suggested.
"Okay." The man in the black leather jacket nodded.
The two left Pioneer Hotel one after another, found a teahouse nearby, and chose a quiet and undisturbed location next to the window.
"You are Comrade 033." Before Chen Miao could speak, the other party spoke first and directly said his code name, which surprised him a little.
"Don't be nervous, this is what your superiors told me." The man in the black leather jacket said, "My name is Ryuu Xilin, and he is a reporter from the Yomiuri Shimbun Shanghai General Office, and is affiliated with the Far East Intelligence Agency of the Communist International."
"Fang Wen, codenamed 033, the Shanghai Underground Party of the Communist Party of China." Chen Miao did not directly report his real name, but who knew whether the other party was saying true or false.
Although he is a comrade, it is normal to use pseudonyms when working behind enemy lines, which is also a necessary means of protection.
"Fang Wen, I seem to have heard of this name." Xilin Longfu frowned slightly.
"oh?"
"Comrade Fang Wen, have you followed a Japanese Economic Observer Group recently?" asked Xilin Longfu.
Chen Miao was also surprised that no one among the Japanese Economic Observer or the reporters allowed to follow him was similar to the Xilin Longfu in front of him.
"Comrade Xilin Longfu, why did you ask this?"
"Oh, in the recent interview with reporters of the Japan Economic Observer Group, there was a Chinese reporter, whose name was also Fang Wen." Xilin Longfu explained.
"Yes, I am that Chinese journalist, Fang Wen."
"What, you are that Fang Wen..." Xilin Longfu was shocked, and a hint of panic appeared on his face.
"Comrade Xilin Longfu, what's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing, I just heard someone mention your name and was a little surprised." Xilin Longfu hurriedly concealed his inner tension.
"Comrade Xilin Longfu, I received an order from my superior to cooperate with you in the intelligence transfer task. May I ask, do you have any information that I need to pass on for you?" Chen Miao asked.
"Oh, not yet. Today I just contact and get familiar with it to facilitate future work." Xilin Longfu explained.
"That's right, then nothing happens, I'll leave first." Chen Miao stood up and said.
"Comrade Fang Wen, how should I contact you?" Xilin Longfu stood up and asked.
"If you want to meet me, you can only make this call during the day, and at noon. You ask, is it Mr. Fang's house? If the other party answers no, I will know that you will meet me. At noon the next day, we will meet at Pioneer Bookstore. How about it?" Chen Miao thought for a moment.
"Okay, I understand." Xilin Longfu glanced at Chen Miao's phone number written on the table with tea, and deeply recorded it in his mind.
...
Manchurian Railway Shanghai Office.
"What, is this 033 Fang Wen?" After hearing the report from Shilin Ryuu, Ozaki was so shocked that he burst into cold sweat on his back. "Xilin Jun, you were not followed, are you?"
"No, I came to you after walking several times." Xilin Longfu said, "What should I do now? This 033 is obviously unreliable."
"I'm having trouble now. I was stared at by the Special High School and I didn't have the chance to send the documents out at all. On the train, fortunately I was careful and hid the documents closely. Otherwise, I would have been searched by the woman Sakurako Ikenai!" Ozaki said, "That Fang Wen is clearly Sakurako Ikenai's helper. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental when I was in the restaurant?"
"Ozaki Kan, he also gave me a contact information so that I can ask him to meet at any time." said Ryuo Xilin.
“What way?”
"He gave me a phone number and asked me to call him when I needed it, and then he would meet me at Pioneer Bookstore at noon the next day." Xilin Longfu said.
"You don't have any action in the past two days. I'll find a way to contact the Chinese side through other channels and tell them about this situation." Ozaki said solemnly.
"Okay, I'll wait for your notice." Xilin Longfu nodded.
