After drinking tea, Lin Ze went to the inner room to change into a long gown and went out for a walk again.

The patrolmen were already accustomed to their superior's behavior and habits. They all knew that although Patrol Captain Lin looked lazy, he had a clear mind!

If you dare to fool him, he will not stop at not only making you call him grandpa!

When Chief Patrolman Lin first arrived, an old policeman took advantage of his youth and not only did he not pay him any respect, he also used his name to collect extra fees from the street vendors.

Patrol Captain Lin dragged him directly to the street and beat him half to death with a belt. He even took out the little cash he had saved over the years, returned part of it to the stall owners, and gave the rest directly to the director of the third outer district.

Then this old policeman was thrown into the prison of the Beijing Police Department and was never heard from again.

But then again, if you work hard, it would be a good thing to work under Captain Lin.

The brothers all knew that Lin Ze was not greedy for money. Apart from the share he had to send to his superiors every month, he would send his own share to his brothers either as an allowance or as a treat for them to drink.

There are three festivals in a year, and you still buy things, saying it’s some kind of welfare benefit!

Ever since Chief Patrolman Lin came, life has become much better for the patrolmen under him. Every now and then they can buy some meat for their children to satisfy their cravings!

[Ding! The host has been detected to be away from duty. The reward is two dollars, which has been stored in the system warehouse! ]

Lin Ze ignored the system's prompt and walked towards Huimingxuan Tea Shop.

From a distance, you can see a sign hanging outside the shop that says "New tea arrived."

Lin Ze couldn't help but think of the WeChat groups in his mobile phone in his previous life.

He stopped thinking about random things and walked straight in. The shopkeeper was wearing a black cloth shirt, had a pocket watch, had his hair combed back meticulously, and had glasses on his nose. He was calculating the accounts with the beads on an abacus.

"Boss, what new teas have arrived?"

The shopkeeper raised his head calmly and said, "Wuxian's Biluochun, Qimen's black tea, Fujian's Dancong, which one do the customers prefer to drink?"

"How can I afford to drink? I've been fooling around with Gao Moer all day. I just have two cents, so I came to see you."

The shopkeeper bowed and said, "Why don't you go to the back and I'll brew some of each for the guests so they can have a taste."

Lin Ze nodded, "That would be great."

The shopkeeper immediately called over his assistant to look after the shop and led Lin Ze to the back.

The two of them sat down, and the shopkeeper made tea. Lin Ze asked, "Teacher, I saw a sign hanging. What is the mission?"

The shopkeeper is Zhuang Liangcai, a native of Jiangshan. He is an old veteran of Lixing Society and is deeply trusted by Boss Dai.

Trust is trust, but his career is not very prosperous. Boss Dai has so many students, old friends and fellow townsmen, how can he give them all the official positions?

After serving as an instructor in several training classes in Nanjing, Zhuang Liangcai was sent to the Peking Station.

However, he was not under the jurisdiction of the Beiping Station, but was directly under the leadership of the Inspection Section of the Special Service Department. In other words, he was also a hidden man sent by Boss Dai to the Beiping Station.

"Shengmin, the situation is probably going to get worse. We have received an order from above to further break up Beiping Station into smaller units and prepare for concealment after the station falls."

Zhuang Liangcai spoke in a heavy tone; he valued his student very much and called Lin Ze by his name.

It was he who gave Lin Ze this name. Back then, Lin Ze was an orphan who had fled from the war and could not read or write. Zhuang Liangcai had received a systematic private school education and had some knowledge of literature. There was a sentence about Ze in the Book of Shang, so he gave Lin Ze the name Shengmin.

Although he had understood the change in the situation, Lin Ze still looked shocked.

"Is the situation going to get worse? I read in the newspaper a few days ago that the soldiers of the 29th Army swore to never let the Japanese invaders set foot in Beijing, and they also said that we took advantage of the Japanese invaders' sporadic attempts a few times before!"

As he spoke, he poured tea for the teacher. Zhuang Liangcai raised the cup, but he couldn't drink it.

"Based on the existing intelligence, the Japanese are probably no longer able to suppress their wolfish ambitions. They are forcing General Song to admit that North China's autonomy is fake. I'm afraid their real intention is to seize Pingjin and occupy North China."

I used to read about it in books, but now that I’m experiencing this era personally, the feeling of humiliation and unwillingness can’t help but well up in my heart.

Lin Ze slammed the table, spilling his tea. "I really want to go to the battlefield and fight them with swords and guns! It's better than patrolling the streets here all day!"

Zhuang Liangcai looked at the student with satisfaction, "Shengmin, the role you can play is much greater than going to the battlefield."

After that, he carefully checked the doors and windows again, and then came back and whispered: "Nanjing has sent an order. The command organs of Beiping's first station, second station and Chasui Station must retreat south. The three stations must select capable personnel to hide on the spot. The three lines are parallel, without crossing or contacting each other, and our inspection department personnel must also retreat..."

At this point, Zhuang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Shengmin, Boss Dai personally instructed that among the staff members of our Inspection Department stationed in Beiping, one person must be selected to stay. Shengmin..."

Hearing this, Lin Ze took over the conversation, "Teacher, you don't have to say anything. I am not a coward. I don't even have a family, so I am free. But you have to take care of yourself. We must meet again one day!"

Lin Ze was so happy that he could be a better "bully" in the occupied area!

He was suppressing his joy here, but Zhuang Liangcai felt unhappy.

Spies are also human beings, and as human beings they have emotions. Although Lin Ze is a little bit reckless sometimes, he is the student he brought up personally, and he is also the best student in his mind.

Everyone knew that after the Japanese took control of Tianjin and Beijing, they would certainly conduct a large-scale raid on the underground intelligence system. It was easy to say "stay", but it would be difficult to really see you again!

Seeing that Zhuang Liangcai was somewhat moved, Lin Ze changed his tone and said calmly, "Teacher, besides lying low, do you have any other instructions?"

Zhuang Liangcai heard Lin Ze asking about serious matters, and without caring about his personal emotions, he immediately instructed: "Jin Yuanzhi, this person is the special military observer of the Army Department in North China. He knows a lot of our military deployments in North China, many of which are related to the 29th Army. The Army Department ordered this person to go south immediately, but he repeatedly found excuses to stay in Beijing."

At this point, Zhuang Liangcai had turned back into that cold spy, and ordered calmly: "The higher-ups have ordered us to monitor Jin Yuanzhi. If we find him trying to surrender to the enemy, report immediately. After we get approval, we will eliminate him!"

Lin Ze accepted the task and after carefully looking through Jin Yuanzhi's photos and information, he burned them in a small stove for making tea.

Before leaving, Zhuang Liangcai said, "Patrolmen are a good cover. Even if the Japanese come, you will most likely be retained. Protect yourselves."

"Also, I will have someone build a new contact point in Xiasan Hutong. Remember, even if you go to make contact, you must disguise yourself and cannot use your identity as a patrol officer easily."

"Shengmin, your code name is Golden Buddha."
