Spy Wars: I signed in at the Military Police at the beginning

The grocery store owner was named Sun Jichang, a member of the underground party and also the secretary of the underground party’s third branch in Shanghai.

Lao Sun has been feeling anxious recently. He doesn't know why. It might be because of the dispute he had with Hu Lin from the border area last time. At that time, he repeatedly advised Hu Lin not to contact the missing comrades who suddenly appeared, because it was too unsafe.

But perhaps because too many of his comrades-in-arms had sacrificed their lives, Hu Lin cherished every surviving companion and insisted on contacting them.

The appearance of old comrades has made Hu Lin ignore his own safety. As they are all old party members who have been working for so many years, Lao Sun knows Hu Lin's situation very well. Although he has rich work experience, his character defects are still difficult to change. He is imprudent and stubborn. Even if he is not lurking in the city, problems will arise sooner or later if he continues like this!

Now Old Sun is very worried about Hu Lin's safety. He really doesn't want anything to happen to Hu Lin, with whom he once fought together and with whom he had a brother-like friendship.

But this time, it took Hu Lin too long to contact his lost old comrade. It has been three days, and he still hasn't contacted him. This is a very abnormal signal!

Although Hu Lin had character flaws, he still abided by organizational discipline. It was impossible for him to directly take people to the border area. Lao Sun believed that Hu Lin might have been in trouble!

As one of the first veteran revolutionaries to infiltrate the Japanese-occupied areas, Lao Sun acted very cautiously. On the first day of Hu Lin's departure, he stopped all recent organizational activities for safety reasons. According to the rules, if Hu Lin did not come back the next day, he would have to evacuate no matter what.

The organization's funds have always been tight. Regardless of whether they evacuate according to Plan No. 1 or Plan No. 2, this site will probably never be returned to. Old Sun feels very distressed at the thought of abandoning this organization department that he has worked so hard to run.

Suddenly, Old Sun noticed something wrong on the table from the corner of his eye! His hand, which was fiddling with the abacus in annoyance, also stopped.

I don't know when a piece of soap appeared on the counter! It's obvious that this soap is not from a grocery store. The most important thing is that there are two lines of neat black words on the package, as if they were printed!

"Comrade, you have been exposed. The base is currently surrounded for unknown reasons. Please evacuate immediately! If you cannot evacuate, please do not make unnecessary sacrifices. I will find a way to rescue you. ------ Crossing the River Soldier"

There is not much content, but the amount of information is huge. Lao Sun's hands were shaking as he fiddled with the abacus. This code name is familiar to Lao Sun. It was a secret line in the Military Control Commission developed by a former comrade-in-arms.

Since taking over, Old Sun has not had a suitable opportunity to contact him, and the other party does not know the grocery store as a contact point. It seems that this comrade who has not yet been contacted is quite capable, at least he has a certain status within the Japanese puppet regime.

Since there was no way to evacuate normally, Lao Sun could only implement evacuation plan number two! Without further ado, Lao Sun put away the soap on the table and picked up the feather duster beside him and walked to the utility room at the back.

Although Lao Sun is dressed like a frail scholar now, he has been to the battlefield when he was young. He is proficient in blasting. After lurking in the dark, he always keeps enough explosives to blow up the entire shop in a secret compartment in the utility room of his shop.

As Zhou Ke put down the telescope, he glanced at another Japanese spy who was stalking outside the window. When he found that the other party did not suspect anything, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had done what he could now, and he could only wait and see what happened and then respond.

The toilet in Sun's Grocery Store was deliberately connected to the backyard of the house next door, but it was hidden so most people didn't know about it.

The yard next door also belonged to the underground party. Due to financial constraints, Lao Sun asked someone to rent the front yard next door to a businessman in the seafood business.

The house on the Qingshui Bridge side was not too far from the river, and the basement of the backyard room that was not rented out was converted by the underground party into an evacuation tunnel leading directly to the Huangpu River.

After placing the explosives in the grocery store, Lao Sun took advantage of the cover of the wall and came to the room in the backyard next door. He quickly picked up a few bricks and crawled into the tunnel under the earthen kang.

More than ten minutes later, bursts of black smoke floated out of the grocery store. Realizing that something was wrong, Jiro Otani ordered the Secret Service and the Special High Technology Department to rush into the grocery store to arrest people.

However, not long after they rushed in, just as Otani Jiro and Zhou Ke were about to go downstairs to follow in, a loud bang shattered the glass in the hotel corridor, and everyone was knocked around by the flying broken glass and the shaking of the hotel.

Is this an evacuation or a sacrifice for the country? Zhou Ke was a little nervous. At present, he could not identify the comrades in the grocery store, so what he could do was to delay the subsequent search as much as possible.

Seeing Otani Jiro who had fallen next to him was about to get up, Zhou Ke took two steps at a time and pounced over and pushed Otani Jiro back to the ground.

Otani Jiro, who was not seriously injured but had a bleeding cheek due to a scratch from broken glass, was almost suffocated by Zhou Ke's flying pounce.

"Cover! Otani-kun is injured! Kenji, let me take Otani-kun to the back room to hide! The rest of you, guard the stairs!"

After hearing what Zhou Ke said, Jiro Otani, who was already a little panicked and was planning to go downstairs to check the situation, instantly gave up the idea of ​​going downstairs.

No wonder he felt his brain a little dizzy, it turned out that he was injured. Otani Jiro knew that if the injury was too serious, he would not feel pain at first.

Not long after, another violent explosion was heard from the direction of the grocery store. After the explosion, no one in the hotel planned to go downstairs to investigate, and two more minutes passed in the tense atmosphere.

At this time Zhou Ke stood up first and comforted Otani Jiro, saying, "Otani-kun, something bad has happened. It's not safe now. Let my people find out the situation first. We'll wait a while before going down." After that, Zhou Ke signaled Squad Leader Kenji to take people to investigate the situation.

"Thank you, Mr. Matsuda. If you hadn't reminded me just now, I would have been affected by the second explosion. Kimura, you should also take your men down with Squad Leader Kenji to take a look." Otani Jiro's face, whose wound had already healed slightly, showed gratitude.

Another seven or eight minutes later, after receiving the report that they were safe, Zhou Ke and his companions finally arrived at the grocery store. At this time, Zhang Yunshan, who was in dishevel, was shouting at his men to carry people out.

According to the report of squad leader Kenji, the first explosion killed five of the eight special forces members who rushed in and seriously injured three.

The two members of the Special High Technology Department were only slightly injured because they were walking at the end and kept a certain distance, and the members who were conducting peripheral surveillance were not greatly affected.

The second explosion, which occurred in the yard next to the grocery store, caused no casualties.

According to the experience of squad leader Kenji, the Red Party's undercover personnel should have only used homemade explosives, which seem powerful but actually have limited lethality.

After all, if they used special explosives, the hotel they were staying in across the street would probably collapse.

----------------

"Captain Otani, Commander Matsuda, we have discovered something! Although the wall has collapsed, the restroom of the grocery store should be connected to the one next door."

"Judging from the damage done to the house next door that collapsed after the second explosion, there should be a tunnel underneath that leads to escape!" Zhang Yunshan, whose forehead was a little black due to stains, excitedly came over with his men to report.

"What's the point of saying this now? Immediately notify the police station to seal off this area and conduct a carpet search. Also, ask the security department to send more people to dig out this tunnel. I want to know where it leads to!"

Jiro Otani was no longer as panicked as before. He knew that he had missed the best time for pursuit and blockade, and he could only make up for it hastily.

Hearing that there was a tunnel, Zhou Ke felt instantly relieved, thinking that the comrades in the grocery store should have evacuated.

After calculating the time, more than ten minutes have passed. If everything goes well, Boss Sun should be far away from the encirclement. Waiting for the police to come and search for him would probably be useless.

But Zhang Yunshan is a lucky bastard. Although he looks miserable, he is actually not hurt at all. The dust on his face might have been smeared on purpose.

"Otani-kun, although the mission failed, I hope you can tell me in detail what happened. After all, I need to submit a report to the headquarters about the explosion."

Zhou Ke planned to use the report to see if he could find out the specific reason why the grocery store was exposed. If there was a traitor, he must find him out.

"No problem, Matsuda-kun. I will report to your office in person when I get back. As for whether I can have a day's grace period for submitting the report, I plan to let the police look for it first." Otani Jiro discussed with Zhou Ke.

"Okay, Otani-kun, you'd better hurry up. It will be hard for me to explain to my superiors if you're late. Also, give me a copy of the photos you took, and I'll have my people keep an eye on that person for you."

Zhou Ke felt that the person might be lost, but he still asked for a photo and planned to go back and ask his family members to keep an eye out for it.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to his identity in the gendarmerie, Zhou Ke also inherited the Matsuda family's long-standing foundation from his adoptive father.

Sixteen family warriors, a considerable amount of savings, three luxury houses, a pier, and a trading company called Matsuda Corporation in the International Settlement.

The most important thing for Zhou Ke among the Matsuda family's inheritance is actually the sixteen elites who have been trained by the Matsuda family for many years and are both samurai and death warriors. Zhou Ke's orderly is one of them.

The Japanese are deeply influenced by the Chinese culture of "loyalty" and practice it personally. In the Japanese samurai's code of honor, loyalty is of supreme importance!

The samurai of the Matsuda family are far more loyal to the head of the family, Shu Ke, than to the emperor. They share weal and woe, life and death with the head of the family, and are willing to give their lives for their master.

After receiving the memories and observing for a period of time, Zhou Ke was now able to confirm that these sixteen warriors each had unique skills and extremely powerful combat capabilities.

Even if he wants to defect or assassinate the prime minister, they will follow him to the last drop of blood, and they will be a great help to Zhou Ke in the future.

At the same time, a small boat was sailing on the Huangpu River towards the International Settlement. On board was Mr. Sun from the grocery store and another big man with a dark face.

"Old Sun, if it weren't for your alertness, the organization would have suffered a heavy blow this time!" The dark-faced man rowing the boat received the order on the day Hu Lin left, and hid near the Huangpu River to prepare for the reception.

"It was just luck. This incident was very strange. After we are transferred out, we must get in touch with the organization as soon as possible. While we are checking ourselves, we should also ask the organization to check if there are any contact points or members who have lost contact recently."

Thinking of what had just happened, Lao Sun felt a little scared. If Comrade Guohezu had not notified him early, he would probably have been caught if he had adopted Plan No. 1 to evacuate.

It doesn't matter if I get caught, but if other comrades and sites are exposed, the loss will be huge.

Lao Sun did not reveal the matter of the pawn crossing the river to his comrades. Lao Sun felt that unless there were special circumstances or he sacrificed himself, it would be best for the pawn to have a single line of communication with him in the past, present and future.

In Lao Sun's mind, Comrade Guohezu is no longer just an undercover member of the Military Control Commission. A person who has an identity in both the Kuomintang and the Japanese puppet regime is not a simple character. Guohezu will be a trump card of the Shanghai underground party in the future.

The boat was getting farther and farther away from the explosion site. Looking at the gradually receding river bank, Lao Sun had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't think that his comrades would betray him, but it wasn't Hu Lin. How did the grocery store get exposed?
