Chapter 69: Thoughts
This should be the last night he slept on this bed, although it was only around the corner, and he didn't have many days to live in this small attic.
But he still cared about this safe house. He had been renting it for nearly two years. Such an alley and the location of this loft were carefully selected.
Because this attic has a commanding height nearby, and its field of view is clear, you can just see the in and out of the alley entrance, and if there is something wrong, you can still transfer it in time.
The alleys here are twists and turns. If you don’t know anyone who gets into it, you will follow the maze and make it easier to escape.
Such a good location is hard to find.
never mind.
It has been exposed here, and it is no longer meaningful to retain it.
However, today Tang Keming took him to Gordon Lu Hengjiri, which made him understand a little, why Lin Shiqun was so interested in him and even secretly sent someone to follow him.
It turned out that Lin Shiqun had noticed himself a long time ago, but with his vigilance, he didn't notice anyone was secretly investigating him.
How did you expose yourself?
Chen Miao was actually thinking about this question. Chen Mingchu obeyed Ding Mohan, and before Chen Mingchu turned against him, Lin Shiqun should have long suspected himself.
Could it be because of this Wu Tianlin?
If it were him, he would understand. He would never have thought that he would meet a student in Shanghai who had only attended two or three days of classes.
And he was recognized.
This is a very small probability. In Shanghai, the concession has a population of more than two million. He usually acts very low-key, never takes photos, never goes to newspapers, and even has few social engagements. He can't help but leave after he arrives.
It's really a blessing to be seen and recognized.
Xia Yanbing doesn't know what his identity is. He can't remind him now, once the target person wakes up, and if Lin Shiqun is testing him.
He will inevitably be suspected.
The last time Zheng Jiayuan mentioned that when necessary, he sacrificed some people and the Military Control Commission's hiding place in Shanghai to gain a foothold in No. 76.
But Zheng Jiayuan didn't mention how he planned to operate.
This matter is troublesome. Let's talk about it when I see Xiaoqi tomorrow. I fell asleep in a daze. Chen Miao dreamed that Liang Xueqin was seriously ill. When she was dying, she accused him of why he wanted to be a "traitor". He woke up in shock and found that his whole body was wet.
Get up, pick up half a cup of boiled water by the bed, and drink it all in one breath.
Although this is just a dream, what happened in the dream really scared him. Liang Xueqin is a woman who is soft on the outside and hard on the inside. If she can't think about it and becomes a heart-wrenching disease, it will be really troublesome.
I got up and had to move home today. Although there was nothing valuable at home, there were still three thousand nails on the broken boat. After cleaning up, there were still many things to take away.
As for Maggie's apartment, he bought the apartment with his own money. He gave Qiao'er a handful of keys. There is also a darkroom at home, which can be used in the future and must be kept.
Dongdong...
A sudden rush knock on the door sounded downstairs.
"Knock, why do you knock? I'm so annoying. I won't let you sleep in the early morning?" Xiaomei's angry voice came out.
Xiaomei has a bad temper. She is so naturally she is late when she comes back. After only a few hours of sleep, she is woken up by someone and naturally she will get angry.
Chen Miao looked down from the attic upstairs and saw that it was Han Laosi and Lu Wei standing at the door. These two people came very early. He also wanted to meet Xiaoqi first when he went out in the morning. Now it was not possible.
Anyway, Xiaoqi will go back to Maggie's apartment to help him get some things. It will not be too late to tell him when the time comes.
"Sister Xiaomei, I'm here to look for me. You can continue to sleep. I'll go down and open the door." Chen Miao came downstairs, passed by Xiaomei's door, and shouted into it.
"I understand, don't bother me with my good dream..." A voice of turning over came from Xiaomei's house, followed by a curse.
Chen Miao quickly walked through the patio and opened the door. He saw Han Laosi and Lu Wei holding their hands in their pockets and asked, "Why are you two coming so early? The neighbors haven't gotten up yet?"
"It's quite far from the 76th, so I came out early." Han Laosi explained.
"Come here?" Chen Miao looked down at the wet mud beside their shoes and asked.
"OK."
"Come in, be gentler. I'm not the only one living here." Chen Miao ordered.
"I understand, third brother!"
"I don't have much stuff here, just some clothes and books. You can help me move downstairs later." Chen Miao said while going upstairs, "Second, you can help me find a car later."
"Brother Third, didn't you say you sent a car?" Han Laosi asked.
"Car No. 76, you want people here to know my identity, right?" Chen Miao turned his head and glared at him.
Han Laosi smiled embarrassedly. They also knew what No. 76 was for and what they did. The people in the concession and even Shanghai did not like No. 76. If they knew their identities, their eyes would be different.
This annoying thing is not particularly honorable either.
"I'll go find it, Brother San, why don't we rent a car at the car shop? It's only one day, and it won't cost much?" Han Laosi suggested.
"Can you drive?" Chen Miao asked.
"I've been driving, but I'm not very familiar with it." Han Laosi scratched his head and smiled.
"Then let's rent one, it's only one day anyway." Chen Miao thought for a while and nodded.
"Okay, third brother." Han Laosi immediately smiled. He had wanted to drive a car for a long time, but under Zhang Guozhen's hands, it was not his turn to drive such a good job.
"You two have not had breakfast yet. When I wash my face, I will take you to dinner first." Before Chen Miao could wash his clothes, the two of them came.
"Brother Third, when we came out, the breakfast shop on the street was not open yet." Han Laosi smiled embarrassedly. He pulled Lu Wei over early in the morning. Didn't he just want to have a breakfast meal?
Chen Miao saw that Han Laosi was a little fond of taking advantage of him. Many people have this kind of minor problem. It is not harmful to ordinary people to have this minor problem, but if they are acting as agents, this shortcoming will be infinitely magnified and may even bring huge disasters.
However, it is not realistic to let Han Laosi get rid of this problem at once. However, if it can be corrected slowly, if it really doesn't work, then you can only give up.
In Chen Miao's eyes, Lu Wei is more respectful than Han Laosi. He is simple in his mind and has no bad habits. Of course, this is also due to Han Laosi. If Han Laosi had no Han Laosi, it would be difficult for Lu Wei to survive under Zhang Guozhen. He is the best candidate for cannon fodder.
"Thank you, third brother."
"Let's go, what do you want to eat? We don't have many opportunities to come out for breakfast next." Chen Miao locked the attic and asked.
Han Laosi licked his lips: "Third brother, I heard that the fried bread of Yuhuchun in the French Concession is a unique name in Shanghai. We have been in Shanghai for a year and have not eaten it yet..."
"Okay, then I'll take you to eat today, and I'll make sure you'll have enough food!" Chen Miao smiled. Han Laosi had many shortcomings, but he also had advantages. Don't look like he was timid and afraid of things, in fact, he was very brave in his bones.
In their work, one must be flexible and bold and careful, otherwise it will be difficult to survive this complex and cruel struggle.
Han Laosi already possessed these two qualities, and he is much better than Lu Wei.
Lu Wei is suitable for being a soldier. He may not be as smart as Han Laosi, but he is loyal and obedient, and he will not be scammers. And there is another point that he is braver than Han Laosi.
The two of them have complementary personalities. In other environments, they may not be friends, but it is not uncommon to be friends in places like No. 76.
Their complements each other, so that they can both survive on No. 76.
When we arrived in Yuhuchun, it was a bit early, so there were not many people queuing up at the door to buy fried bread. Chen Miao and the others did not wait long before it was their turn.
"There are six people in Yike Shengjian. The three of us want six people. There are fewer Liukes. Lu Wei has a lot of appetite, so he has to eat the appetite of two of me..." Han Laosi pulled his fingers and lowered his head to calculate.
"Boss, come to Shike Shengjianbao." Chen Miao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and handed the money directly to the busy man who gave Shengjianbaobao.
"Tianke, Guest, can you eat it? This fried bread is only delicious when it is freshly cooked and hot?"
"There are many people in the family, hurry up and pretend." Chen Miao smiled slightly and explained.
"Okay."
The guy didn't continue. He would sell as much as the customer paid. As for whether he could eat or not, it was the customer's own business.
Throughout the kung fu, the Shilan Keshengjian packed it into the pockets of five kraft paper.
Han Laosi and Lu Wei were carrying the two bags in their hands, while Chen Miao was carrying the bags each.
"Do you want to eat something else, wontons or tofu brain?" Chen Miao turned his head and asked, "Noodles are also OK, as long as you can eat them."
"Yeah..." Lu Wei couldn't wait to pick up one from his pocket and throw it into his mouth. He swallowed the baby's small fist-sized fried bun in one bite, and the hot and delicious soup inside was sprinkled out, making his tongue rolled up.
“Delicious, delicious…”
"What a foodie." Han Laosi ate much more elegantly. He first bite off a little skin, sucked the soup inside, and then ate it.
Yuhuchun’s Shengjianbao is indeed delicious, but Chen Miao felt very full after eating it, and the fragrance lasted for a long time.
Han Laosi and Lu Wei are really good at eating. In addition to eating two restaurants, one also ate a bowl of wontons and the other ate a bowl of tofu brain.
This food can be used as an ordinary rural family, so it can make a self-cultivated farmer's family poor.
"Third brother, you..." Han Laosi pointed at the remaining fried bread in Chen Miao's hand and asked embarrassedly.
"Don't you still have it?"
"Don't we want to keep it for dinner?" Han Laosi explained with a salivating face.
"You are really okay. This guest cannot be given to you. I will keep it for another person. He will introduce you to you earlier than you and me. In a while, I will introduce you to you." Chen Miao said.
"oh……"
"Fourth brother, take the money to rent a car in a reliable car dealer. Lu Wei, come with me." Chen Miao looked at his watch and said, "Let's go to Maggie's apartment to wait for me at nine o'clock?"
