Chapter 104 IF Line: Light and Shadow
The derivative meaning of that telegram is——all staff cleared.If Lan Xiyu is included, it means "to clean up together".
Qi Mo waited for more than three years, got rid of Qi Yan's betrayer, got rid of the dregs hiding in the school, and the only ones left were Lan Xiyu and the bastards of the Japanese puppets.
Now, he finally got the order, but he didn't feel the slightest pleasure in his heart.
Cooperating with this large-scale operation were comrades from two other groups, who did not know each other, and used independent codes to meet to avoid accidental injury that day.Qi Mo is the best in melee combat among this group of cadres, so he was also appointed to go deep into the enemy's rear and carry out close-range assassination when necessary.
When we met at the weekend regular meeting that week, he once again conveyed to his superiors the idea of discussing tactics with his companions who had fought side by side for a year.
The superior shook his head: "For this mission, you must act in a single line. Your action instructions are at the highest level of confidentiality, and no one can tell them."
Therefore, Qi Mo changed his wording: "I know that my request is a little too much. This operation is very dangerous, and I don't know if I will survive. I have taken care of him a lot this year, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to see you." , please convey my thanks on your behalf."
The superior looked at him with extremely complicated eyes, finally sighed, and said: "If he had such a temperament that could be easily explained, the past two years would not have been so difficult... OK, I will tell you what to say." brought, but there is no guarantee that he will come to see you."
"Thank you." Qi Mo smiled lightly.
……
On Sunday, there was a rare snowfall in Shanghai in the deep winter.The snowflakes began to fall down one after another at 02:30 in the afternoon, and soon spread a thin layer.
Qi Mo put on a thick brown woolen overcoat, put on a black top hat, and came to the cemetery with a few bunches of white carnations in his hands.He swept away the floating snow on Qi Yan's tombstone with his hands, and put carnation under the stele.
The snow kept falling until it was over the edge of the shoe.Qi Mo exhaled lightly, and the white mist rose up across the sky.
The breeze blew slightly, blowing the petals of carnation.
……
The place where I agreed to meet with "Ye Huang" was at the coffee shop on the edge of the International Settlement.
Qi Mo ordered a cup of hot coffee and sat by the window, watching the people hurrying to and fro in the snow.There are soft English songs playing in the store, and the clock swings like a milk cap dangling in a cup.
He waited from 05:30 until the coffee shop closed at 07:30, and the person he was waiting for did not show up.
After Qi Mo finished his last sip of coffee, he felt a little regretful, but this was also within his expectation - if "Yehuang" came, it would be a surprise.
He put on his coat and left the coffee shop, the wind chimes at the door of the shop made a crisp sound.The snow on the road made it rough to step on. He lowered his top hat and walked along the sidewalk towards the tram stop.
Children's laughter came from the buildings on the street, parents sang cheerful songs together, and the melody of saxophone floated out.The general situation of the entire Anti-Japanese War is developing in a good direction. He believes that it will not take long for the invaders to be driven out of this land.
"Dingling—" Someone was riding a bicycle passing by this snowy street,
Qi Mo looked up, but saw someone standing under a street lamp in the dark road ahead.
Lights reflect hazy bright areas.The fine snow fell with the light, and a thin layer was deposited on the top hat.The young man with emerald eyes was wrapped in a dark black scarf and lit a thin cigarette.
The smoke curled up, collided with the snowflakes, and turned into crystal water droplets.
This sidewalk is not too wide, Qi Mo stopped in front of the man.
"This is 'Three No Matters'. Boss Lan doesn't have anyone to protect him here, isn't he afraid of death?" Qi Mo had no expression on his face, and his tone was dull.
Lan Xiyu exhaled smoke, raised her eyes and looked at Qi Mo: "I thought you would ignore me."
Qi Mo frowned slightly, and he glanced at Lan Xiyu's reddish face, and his boots that were slightly wet from the snow.
"You..." He hesitated for the first time, "Where are you going?"
Lan Xiyu smiled: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm coming out... to see the snow."
Qi Mo suddenly felt ridiculous at his flashing thought.He put his hands in his pockets, lowered his hat and walked around Lan Xiyu.
"Qi Mo." Lan Xiyu suddenly stopped him.
Qi Mo stopped and turned around.
"Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that the special high school will be withdrawn from Shanghai in a short time. Tell me, what will happen to a person like me?"
The corner of Qi Mo's mouth pressed down: "Boss Lan feels that the situation is not right now, and wants to find another way out? I'm sorry, I only feel happy when I think of your end. I don't know any way to save you, so you just ask yourself Bar."
"Didn't you say you wanted to kill us all?" Lan Xiyu's eyes were full of indifference.
The snow was still falling densely, and the lights of the street lamps flickered suddenly.
"Three years ago, Yan'er, was it you who did it?" Qi Mo asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Lan Xiyu said.
Not even a pause.
Qi Mo didn't say anything, didn't look at Lan Xiyu again, turned around and walked straight forward.
The street lamps stretched his shadow until he disappeared into the dark street corner and was nowhere to be seen.
……
On Wednesday, the reception hall of the equipment factory was full of joy.
Wearing a white suit, Lan Xiyu personally stood at the door to greet every dignitary and businessman, and introduced the tour route to them.
The entire equipment factory covers an area of about ten hectares. Today's introduction exhibition will go through their manufacturing plant and finally go deep into the finished product demonstration hall.
At the opening ceremony, Lanxi Yu organized staff to release 99 white pigeons. The pigeons flew to the blue sky in groups, and countless white feathers fell down like scattered banners.
"If you don't know Boss Lan, you'll think that Boss Lan is a pacifist, hahahaha." The businessman who knew Lan Xiyu was joking like this.
Lan Xiyu smiled at him, but didn't respond.
The personnel quickly flowed, and the guests entered the factory along the established route.
At this time, Qi Mo, who was located in the corridor between the manufacturing plant and the demonstration hall, was fully prepared.
The companions of the other two teams have stunned the puppet troops patrolling near the corridor, he just needs to make sure that all the target people enter the demonstration hall.Once there is a fish that slips through the net, it's time for him to go out.
Half an hour later, people passed the manufacturing plant one after another, talking and laughing as they walked into the demonstration hall.
Qi Mo waited quietly.
About 10 minutes later, a dignitary came out to answer the phone in a hurry, and he seemed to be arguing with the other side of the phone.Taking advantage of this time, Qi Mo walked out from the hidden place.He couldn't let the sound of the gun startle the people in the demo hall, so he had to get close.
The dignitary hung up the phone and cursed severely.He turned around and was about to leave when suddenly his neck was strangled and his mouth covered.His eyes widened instantly, and he muttered inaudiblely.
In the next second, there was only a "click" sound, and his struggling body stopped moving.
Qi Mo took the corpse and threw it behind the tree behind the lawn, like throwing a piece of rag.
The door of the demonstration hall slowly closed.At this moment, the radio receiver next to Qi Mo's ear vibrated.He pressed the switch, and the voice of his companion came from inside: "One person is missing."
"Who?" Qi Mo asked.
"Lanxi Yu."
Qi Mo paused for a while and said, "You act as usual, and I will deal with it."
After speaking, he turned off the receiver and turned to look at the entrance of the factory.
Lan Xiyu probably didn't follow the team along the exhibition route, so... he should still be in the reception hall.
In less than 10 minutes, he arrived near the reception hall.What made him feel strange was that no puppet army was seen where the monitoring point should have been set up.But that's good too, it can let him settle the matter quietly.
Going around two uprights, he pulled out the gun from his waist and tightened the silencer.
While flashing into the hall door, Qi Mo raised his gun.
There was only one person in the reception hall——Lan Xiyu in a white suit was stuffing the magazine into the gun, and the safety was loaded.
Qi Mo walked into the hall and aimed his gun at Lan Xiyu's chest.And Lan Xiyu looked at him without any surprise on his face.
"The expression on his face before he died was really calm." Qi Mo whispered, "If you have a last word, say it as soon as possible, and you won't have a chance in a while."
Lan Xiyu opened her lips slightly, and when she was about to say something, her pupils constricted suddenly, and she immediately raised her gun.
"boom!"
Blood spattered, and the bullets flew past Qi Mo's right and directly concentrated on the puppet army behind him who was about to attack.
Qi Mo was startled, turned his head and glanced behind him, and then looked at Lan Xiyu in disbelief.
"Let me shoot this gun at you, Qi Mo, you are still not qualified..." Lan Xiyu put down the gun in his hand, "Okay, this time...it should be cleared up." Before the words finished, Lan Xiyu Feather covered her belly and slowly squatted down.
Qi Mo came to his senses and immediately ran towards Lan Xiyu.
He obviously didn't shoot!Why does this person in front of him seem to be seriously injured? !
"Pfft—" The white suit was immediately dyed red, and Lan Xiyu put his elbows on the ground exhaustedly, and fresh blood flowed from his lips.
Qi Mo immediately knelt down to support Lan Xiyu's body, and put Lan Xiyu, who was gushing blood from his mouth, on his lap.
"Have you taken poison?" Qi Mo was shocked.
Lan Xiyu didn't refute, she stretched her hand into her bosom, took out a palm-sized cowhide bag with difficulty and stuffed it into Qi Mo's hand, tightly holding Qi Mo's palm.
"I don't worry about handing over this thing to others..." Lan Xiyu half-opened her eyes, "You have to try...to get in touch with Yan'an directly, this is...the complete list of secret agents deployed by the Wang government in various places. "
No need to say any more, Qi Mo understood.
He didn't care about that, and carefully hugged Lan Xiyu in his arms, his hands trembling for no reason: "What did you eat? Tell me quickly. Let's go to the hospital and do gastric lavage."
After finishing speaking, he picked up Lan Xiyu from the ground and carried it on his back, and walked quickly out of the hall.
Lan Xiyu leaned on his shoulder, with her head resting on his neck, her breathing became weaker and weaker.
"It's too late...when I released the pigeons, I was already...You know very well that I can't get out of here alive...I still count on...you can shoot me to calm down."
Qi Mo's Adam's apple rolled down, and Lan Xiyu's last words directly shattered his internal organs.
The group of politicians and merchants died in the explosion, and those who survived by chance will definitely be severely tortured, let alone the organizer of the event. Even if "Lanxi Yu" survived, it would not have any strategic significance.
"Xiyu, don't talk, I can take you out."
"...the last time I heard you call me that, or...when? I always feel...it's been a long time." After speaking, Lan Xiyu vomited another mouthful of blood, which directly wet Qi Mo's clothes , trickling down onto the lawn.
"Mo Mo, I'm sorry..."
"I really didn't think of a better... solution to Yan'er's matter." Lan Xiyu's voice became smaller and smaller, "I feel that... I have committed a serious crime. What makes me unable to forgive myself is... I later thought , if the person standing in front of you at that time...was you, I would never have shot. Even if there was only one ten-thousand chance...I would rush out with you. "
The corners of Qi Mo's eyes became moist instantly, he gritted his teeth and pressed Lan Xiyu's arm tightly, still trotting forward.
"Do you still have my handouts..."
"Keep it." Qi Mo held back his tears, "I'll show it to you when you go back."
Lan Xiyu didn't answer.
Qi Mo's footsteps slowed down, his voice trembling: "Xi Yu?"
The man on the shoulder still didn't answer.
Qi Mo stopped, paused for a moment, and put Lan Xiyu on his shoulders flat on the ground.
The wind blew through the forehead hair slowly, and the person lying on the ground was silent, his handsome face remained the same as before, as if he was just sleeping peacefully.
He opened the cowhide bag Lan Xiyu gave him, which contained a list and a thick folded piece of paper.
Qi Mo slowly opened the paper, and a series of words came into view - it was "Youth China" written neatly.
The edges of the paper are yellow, obviously not recent.When will it be?Qi Mo thought.
For example, three years ago.
Tears fell down, dizzy with ink.
A huge explosion sounded suddenly from the direction of the demonstration hall of the factory behind him, and the flames shot straight into the sky, carrying the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.
……
a week ago.
The light of the kerosene lamp danced, and the two sat opposite each other at the table.
"Xiyu, the organization arranges for you to evacuate on the day of the exhibition, and give you a new identity to live in."
"No need." Lan Xiyu said.
"You have to trust the organization, and it will definitely protect your personal safety."
"I believe in the organization. It's just...that I don't want to live incognito. That's not what I want. What's more, I have been able to climb this far, and I have carried the blood of many comrades on my body."
"……and you?"
Lan Xiyu smiled, with a little fire shining in her eyes.
"I'm not going back to Yan'an."
