Chief Player of Film and Television World

"Xiaoman, take the people from the intelligence department and wait outside the hall. Don't disturb the masters from their morning classes."

"Okay, Director Wang."

After arranging things, Wang Manchun and Master Jueyuan walked into the main hall of Jing'an Temple.

Liang Zhongchun led people from the Operations Office to the door of Jing'an Temple. Tong Hu said with an unhappy look: "What do you mean by that woman Wang Manchun, asking us to guard the door for her? We are here to search for underground parties. She is fine. Underground

The party has not found it, so now go and chant sutras with a group of monks! Or recite sutras before dawn, who are you trying to curse to death?"

Having said this, he suddenly looked at Liang Zhongchun in surprise and whispered, "Brother-in-law, the woman named Wang is probably chanting sutras and curses on you inside, right? Then we can't just sit back and wait for death!"

Hearing this, Liang Zhongchun closed his eyes in anger, took a deep breath to suppress his inner anger, then looked at his brother-in-law with an idiot look, and said with a smile: "If you can't speak, just speak less."

sentence."

"But brother-in-law..."

"Shut up!" Liang Zhongchun glared and said, "Damn it, I hope Wang Manchun chants sutras and curses you to death, so that I can be quiet for a while! Read more books, it's a bit long, isn't it? When have you ever heard of it?

Chanting sutras can curse people to death. If that were the case, who would still believe in Buddhism?"

Tong Hu suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that chanting sutras can't kill people, so what can I chant to curse people to death, brother-in-law?"

"Well..." Liang Zhongchun thought for a while and suddenly realized something was wrong. He turned around and slapped his brother-in-law on the head, "It's none of your business! If you have time to think about these messy things, why not think about how to improve your investigative capabilities?"

, don’t let me be ridiculed by Wang Manchun in the bureau for a day or two, saying that my subordinates are a bunch of losers who can’t even get things done!”

"Oh, okay brother-in-law." Tong Hu suddenly became weak.

In the main hall of Jing'an Temple, Wang Manchun sat cross-legged on a futon and read the Heart Sutra with Master Jue Yuan before standing up to leave.

When Zhuang Xiaoman saw her coming out of the hall, he stepped forward and asked, "Director Wang, did you find anything?"

Of course, she couldn't simply think that Wang Manchun really wanted to do morning lessons with the monks. She must have had doubts before using the early morning lessons as an excuse to test.

Wang Manchun shook his head and said: "No."

"It seems that there is indeed nothing wrong with Jing'an Temple."

"That's not necessarily the case. Sometimes the calmer it is, the more it means there is a problem." Wang Manchun looked at the temple thoughtfully, "There were several fire incidents in the concession last night. There were four not far from Jing'an Temple.

, but they didn’t react at all, and I didn’t even hear the private discussion, don’t you think it’s strange?”

"It's a little strange."

"So I'm sure there must be a problem here, but I just don't know where the problem lies." Wang Manchun said and walked towards the temple gate.

Liang Zhongchun, who was waiting at the door, saw Wang Manchun coming out, so he stepped forward and said, "Hey, Director Wang has finished his morning lessons?"

Wang Manchun glanced at him, then turned to tell his two agents: "You stay and monitor Jing'an Temple to see if there are any suspicious people coming or going. Others should go back and rest first."

"Director Wang, what about you?"

"I still have to go to the Special High School to report the search results here to Section Chief Nantian."

Wang Manchun drove away alone, and the people in the intelligence office dispersed.

"Director Liang, what about us?" Tong Hu asked.

"Humph, of course I went home to rest. I was busy most of the night and couldn't find it. I wonder how Wang Manchun will explain it to Yoko Minami!" Liang Zhongchun sneered.

In a restaurant across the street from the main gate of Jing'an Temple, Zhang Jin and Mingcheng were sitting by the window on the second floor, eating breakfast while observing the situation at Jing'an Temple.

"Everyone from No. 76 has left, leaving only two informants watching outside." Mingcheng said.

Zhang Jin put a piece of Xiao Long Bao in his mouth and said while eating: "Wang Manchun and Nantian Yoko are really not to be underestimated. They thought of the key points of the matter so quickly. Fortunately, you made sufficient preparations. Otherwise, would they be able to

It’s not certain that the evacuation can be arranged smoothly.”

"How can someone who can be sent to Shanghai to be the director of a special higher education course be an easy person? Wang Manchun is also a smart person, but it's a pity that his smartness is used in the wrong place. No matter how powerful they are, they are only one step ahead of others.

Husband." Mingcheng looked confident.

"So, will you take action or should I take action next?" Zhang Jin asked.

Mingcheng smiled and said: "You can take action, it will also help your partner to gain more favor and trust by taking over this matter."

"Okay, I'll go then." Zhang Jin put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, got up and walked downstairs.

Zhuang Xiaoman was walking on the street. It was already dawn. Many breakfast vendors had set up fire stalls on the roadside. Vegetable farmers also took to the streets carrying vegetable loads. Ordinary people in the concession began their day's work.

In this environment, it is easy to be discovered if someone is following you.

Zhuang Xiaoman looked back and saw that it was Zhang Jin, so he motioned to meet him in the next alley.

Soon, the two completed the connection.

Zhuang Xiaoman said: "Is there something unexpected that happened to you in such a hurry to find me?"

Zhang Jin also got straight to the point: "Did Wang Manchun not find anything at Jing'an Temple?"

"Yes, what, do you have an idea?"

"Tell her to check the sewers. Maybe she can find a secret passage or something."

Zhuang Xiaoman looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you serious? Although the underground party is not from our side, they are also allies in the fight against Japan. Isn't it bad to do this?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not betraying the underground party, because there is nothing in the sewers. If you raise this point, it will be easier to get the attention of Wang Manchun and Nantian Yoko."

"Okay." Zhuang Xiaoman nodded in agreement.

"Look, this is the engineering drawing of the sewer distribution in the public concession. Jing'an Temple is right above one of the sewers..." Zhang Jin took out the blueprint given by Mingcheng and began to tell Zhuang Xiaoman what she was going to tell Wang Manchun.

Listen to the words.

Ming family.

"A-Cheng, have you stayed away all night? Why are you so busy!" Ming Jing looked at Mingcheng who had just returned from the door.

"Hey, eldest sister, it's just some official business. Several houses were burned down in the concession. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau insisted that it was the secret service of our new government that did it. Didn't I argue with them until dawn?" Mingcheng said casually.

"Why is even the concession in such a mess now?" Ming Jing shook his head helplessly, looked at the three brothers and said, "You must be careful when you go out in the future! Minglou, Acheng, especially you two, should be more low-key when working under the new government.

Do you know?"

"I understand, eldest sister."

"What's the use of being careful? It's better to just resign and avoid worrying all day long." Mingtai said sarcastically from the side.

The plot was completely disrupted by Zhang Jin. Mingtai, who originally learned the identity of his eldest brother after the assassination of Minami Yoko, still didn't know whether his eldest brother was black or white.

Ming Jing knew that his brother was from Chongqing, but he could not reveal his identity, so he waved his hand and interrupted: "Stop saying such nasty things, Cheng, let's have breakfast first and then go to rest."

"Okay, eldest sister." Mingcheng put down his briefcase, took off his coat, and sat down at the dining table.

After a thoughtful breakfast, Ming Jing went to the company to handle matters, while Ming Tai returned to the photo studio to wait. Ming Lou and Ming Cheng were the only two people left at home.

study.

Minglou asked: "Have everything been settled?"

Mingcheng replied: "Things have been taken care of. The comrades exposed on the list have all been arranged to evacuate. I believe they will be able to retreat to the border area and then to other lurking areas soon. Wang Manchun and Nantian Yoko have already suspected Jing'an Temple, but I have already

A plan has been arranged to dispel their suspicions."

"Very well, thank you for your hard work. You can go back and rest first. I will handle the rest. It's time to go to the Extra High School and No. 76 to have a look at my presence as the deputy director of the Special Task Committee."

Minglou said.

"My performance is over, it's your turn to play." Mingcheng smiled.

Upon hearing this, Minglou immediately stood up and said in a recalling tone: "When I was teaching in Paris, I was also on stage in opera performances at the Grand Theater, and I performed in grand operas like Romeo and Juliet."

"Awesome, come on, I'm optimistic about you." Mingcheng patted his arm perfunctorily, turned around and walked out of the study room, muttering in a low voice, "What's the point of being happy about being a bit player who gets killed?"

, wearing a wig and curly beard, you can't tell who is who..."

"Where are you muttering about?" Minglou turned around and asked.

"Nothing, I just compliment you on your good acting. Well, good acting! That red coat suits you very well!"

"Really? How do I remember that I was wearing a blue coat at that time? Hey, Cheng...where is he? He ran so fast!"

Extraordinary courses.

After staying up all night and receiving all the bad news, Yoko Minami had a very gloomy expression on her face at the moment.

"Even the last expectation has been disappointed. It seems that your previous speculation was not correct."

"Director Nantian, I always think that there is nothing wrong with my speculation. The underground party's transfer must be concealed and fast enough to transfer so many people on the list in large quantities at the same time. And we have not found any of them from the concession until now.

Once it comes out, it can already explain the problem." Wang Manchun argued with reason.

"All speculations are just speculations until there is evidence and results. Let's change the direction. Don't go to the dark side. This is already a dead end!" Yoko Minami said.

"Section Chief Nantian, I..."

Adjutant Asano suddenly walked in and interrupted Wang Manchun: "Report! Zhuang Xiaoman from No. 76 wants to see you."

"Let her in." After finishing speaking, Yoko Nantian glanced at Wang Manchun.

"Section Chief Nantian, Director Wang." Zhuang Xiaoman saluted after coming in, "I have a new discovery!"

"What did you find? Did the people under surveillance at Jing'an Temple report anything?" Wang Manchun asked impatiently.

Zhuang Xiaoman said: "No, it's just that I suddenly thought of something on the way back. If Jing'an Temple is really the underground party's evacuation hideout, then there must be a way to leave. If you want to hide your eyes and leave quietly, there is no better way.

There is a more appropriate method.”

"Have you discovered the tunnel of Jing'an Temple?" Yoko Minami asked.

Zhuang Xiaoman said: "Director Wang took us to search Jing'an Temple before, but we did not find the entrance to the tunnel. Assuming that there really is this tunnel, the entrance must be very hidden. It is impossible not to turn Jing'an Temple upside down.

Discovered."

"Yes, on the surface, there are no traces of suspected tunnel entrances found in Jing'an Temple." Wang Manchun also said.

Nantian Yoko frowned and said: "You don't want me to thoroughly inspect Jing'an Temple, do you? This is absolutely not possible. Jing'an Temple's goal is too big and it can easily cause troublesome disputes. Neither the Ministry of Industry Bureau nor the consulate will allow us to do this.

, there is no way to convince them to agree without evidence and just relying on suspicion."

At this time, Japan had not completely fallen out with the European and American powers, and the deterrent of the public concession was still there.

Zhuang Xiaoman said: "It is not a small project to dig a passage from Jing'an Temple to the outside of the concession. I remember that there has been no major construction work in Jing'an Temple in the past few years, otherwise there would be no newspaper reports. Jing'an Temple is full of incense and people come.

The more people go, the more noise there is when digging tunnels, and the longer it takes, the easier it is to be discovered by outsiders, so I guess even if there is a tunnel in Jing'an Temple, it won't be too long, so that the excavation can be completed in a short time with minimal movement."

"The shortest distance from Jing'an Temple to the outside of the concession is at least four or five miles. Even just digging a tunnel that can be used by a single person is not a small project." Wang Manchun said after estimation.

"So, I thought of something that can shorten the length of the tunnel and ensure that we leave the concession."

"What thing?"

Wang Manchun and Nantian Yoko were both very curious.

"The unique sewers in the concessions. If tunnels are built to connect to the sewers, you can go to many places through the sewers. The sewer exits are opened near the downstream outlet, making it harder to be discovered in the wilderness." Zhuang Xiaoman said.

, "I observed the streets around Jing'an Temple and saw a sewer entrance. There must be a sewer passing through it. Since we can't directly search whether there is an underground entrance to Jing'an Temple, then we will find the tunnel exit and then follow the tunnel to find the exit."

"That makes sense, Director Wang, your subordinate is very good!" Nantian Yoko nodded in praise.

Zhuang Xiaoman said modestly: "Section Chief Nantian has given me the award."

Wang Manchun also smiled and said: "Xiaoman is indeed my right-hand man, my right-hand man."

Yoko Minami stood up and announced: "Now follow me immediately to explore the sewers. As long as we can find the tunnel hidden in Jing'an Temple, we can use these monks to fish out the underground party still lurking in Shanghai!"

Zhuang Xiaoman followed Nantian Yoko and Zhuang Xiaoman, and what Zhang Jin had said to him before came to mind.

"Don't worry, Nantian Yoko can't find the exit of the tunnel in the sewer. The tunnel of Jing'an Temple leads directly to the outside of the concession. Don't wonder why the underground party can dig such a tunnel. You must know that Jing'an Temple has thousands of years of history.

It’s history.”

Just when Yoko Minami led people to check the tunnel exits in the concession sewers, and sent people to the countryside where the sewer outlets were to investigate the situation, the evacuated comrades of the underground party who had been safely transferred to the suburbs had already contacted the guerrillas.

With the help of others, we went to the border area to rest temporarily and wait for the next arrangements.

There is no place for them in Shanghai anymore, but there are still opportunities for them to show their talents and ambitions in Northeast, North China, Guangnan and Hong Kong!
