Publisher's Synopsis
In the summer of 1941, at noon on a certain day, Stone City, a provincial capital city in the eastern part of China. The people on the street are bustling, although they are under the Japanese occupation at this time, but for the sake of their livelihood, the people are still running around. The sun is sparing no effort to radiate light and heat, as if to want to dry everything on the ground. On a street in Stone Town, which is not a main road, a young man in his thirties is walking forward in a white suit. He does not stop using a handkerchief to wipe the sweat and look at the house numbers on the surrounding buildings from time to time, seemingly looking for an address. There are not many pedestrians on this street. The houses on the street are basically shops, such as Chinese medicine shops and shaving shops, and restaurants. Everything looks like a normal day is no different, it seems very normal. Li Yixin is very cautious. This is the enemy-occupied area. The first time he came to the city joint, he must be careful to prevent accidents. As an underground work author, accidents often mean the end of life. Today is the day when he went to Stone Town for the first time to connect with the underground party organization. According to the instructions given to him by the leaders of the Chinese Ministry of Social Affairs before the departure, the Chinese medicine shop at No. 29 Chengxian Street is the underground party organization of him and the Stone City. The first joint location. In fact, he has seen the Chinese medicine shop far away through the house number, but he is not eager to go to the joint, but slowly pretends to be unfamiliar and wants to observe the surrounding environment to see what is wrong. . The joint time was 12 noon, and Li Yixin arrived half an hour earlier. This is his consistent style, and he is very careful with the unfamiliar comrades in the party. This is the discipline that must be observed in underground work. It is also an important reason why he could not be detected and has been lurking when the Kuomintang raised the knife. The Chinese Medicine Shop at 29 Chengxian Street is a two-storey old-fashioned building. The ground floor is where Chinese medicine sits and sees medicine. On the second floor, a scorpion was hung, and the book was filled with four large characters, and some windows were opened next to it. It was the living room of the owner of the drug shop. On the side of the window sill in the middle of the three windows, there is a small pot of pink rose flowers. This is a normal cipher, indicating that there are no security issues with this joint location. Li Yixin saw the potted flower far away, and the vigilance in his heart was slightly reduced. This cipher knows when he accepts the instructions from his superiors in Yucheng. It seems that everything is normal here and can be connected. Li Yixin looked at the time on his pocket watch. It is now 11:45, and there are still 15 minutes from the joint time. He began to speed up the pace, adjust to the normal walking speed, and go to the Chinese medicine shop. Suddenly, the situation is abrupt! '??', the pot of rose flowers was pushed down on the street and smashed, followed by a person jumping from the window where the flower pot was placed, limping to another direction of Cheng Hing Street go with. Although the window on the second floor is not too high, it is easy to get hurt when jumping from above. The person who jumped off the building seems to be kicking. At this time, there were more than a dozen people wearing casual clothes in the shops opposite the Chinese medicine shop and in the Chinese medicine shop. They were chasing the person who jumped the building with a pistol and shouted: "Stop!" Two of them chased quickly, and they were about to catch up with the one who fled.
