Chapter 47 Rickshaw Business
Anle Dance Hall.
Song Yu is in a good mood recently. The investigation into Zhou Yihui has ended, and there is no sign of any betrayal from him.
Zhou Yihui was a veteran member of the Communist Party. He was previously a member of the Nanjing Municipal Committee, where he was mainly responsible for some underground intelligence work and had an intelligence group under his direct leadership.
Later, betrayed by a traitor, most of the members of the Nanjing Municipal Committee were arrested. Zhou Yihui escaped by chance, and the members of his intelligence group also escaped.
Since most of the underground party's safe houses had been destroyed, he had no radio and could not contact the organization to report the situation, so he could only remain silent.
At the same time, he ordered all members of the intelligence team to go into hibernation, waiting to be awakened.
Zhou Yihui was arrested because he was recognized.
That person was also a former member of the Nanjing Municipal Committee.
The operation against the Nanjing Municipal Committee in 34 was organized by the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and the traitor Wang Shantang naturally became a high-ranking member of the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
Zhou Yihui was recognized by Wang Shantang on the road. As for why he ended up in the hands of the secret service, it was purely by chance.
That day, Wang Shantang saw him, and he saw the other person as well, so they quickly chose to flee.
He was then shot three times and fell into a coma.
When he woke up, he thought he had fallen into the hands of the Party Investigation Department, but he didn't expect that the guards were actually from the Special Service Department.
The captain, Wu Fuchun, even said that he had finally managed to snatch him away, and thankfully he hadn't died.
Zhou Yihui then recalled the details of the incident. It seemed that Wang Shantang only had two people with him at the time, but at least a dozen people were chasing him later.
It turns out those people were from the secret service.
It was just bad luck that he happened to run into Wu Fuchun, who was out on a field mission; otherwise, he might have actually managed to escape.
He felt that the reason he ended up in the hands of the secret service was probably because Wang Shantang had brought too few men, which allowed Wu Fuchun to seize him.
The Special Service Department and the Party Investigation Department have always been at odds, so how could Wu Fuchun possibly give away the credit he had already earned?
Fortunately, Zhou Yihui has been rescued, and Song Yu's mission this time is to build a small intelligence network.
Zhou Yihui's appearance was undoubtedly a great help to his mission!
The organization decided that Zhou Yihui could no longer stay in Nanjing. If Wang Shantang could recognize him once, he could recognize him a second time.
Moreover, the Special Service now knows what he looks like, so it's too dangerous for him to stay in Nanjing.
And the intelligence team under his command would naturally be taken over by Song Yu.
However, Zhou Yihui's health has not fully recovered yet, so he will have to wait a while before leaving Nanjing. At that time, the Special Service Department's investigation will be less stringent.
What pleased Song Yu was not only Zhou Yihui's matter, but also the matter of the dock.
The dock has now been completely handed over and is now under his direct management, which will make things much easier from now on, whether it's transporting goods or anything else.
Thinking of this, Song Yu couldn't help but hum along to Shanghai opera. He loved listening to Shanghai opera when he was making his way in Shanghai, and he would listen to it whenever he had free time.
"Knock knock knock".
The knocking interrupted Song Yu's humming, and he called out, "Come in."
Shen Yi pushed open the door and walked in, smiling, "Uncle Song, what's making you so happy? I just heard you humming 'Meeting at the Nunnery' outside, and it made me want to go back to Shanghai and hear a bit of it."
"Of course it's about the dock. Now that dock is completely ours, we won't have to depend on others for shipping goods anymore," Song Yu said without changing his expression.
Shen Yi laughed upon hearing this, "That's right, this is indeed something to be happy about."
"Young Master, what brings you here?" Song Yu asked.
"Uncle Song, I remember we have a few rickshaw companies in the south of the city, right?"
"There seem to be four in the south of the city. What are your orders, young master?"
"I'd like to meet with those car dealership managers, is that alright?" Shen Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Song Yu felt a little worried. Wuyi Lane was also in the south of the city. Why did Shen Yi suddenly want to meet the person in charge of the rickshaw company in the south of the city?
Could it be that the Secret Service already suspects Zhou Yihui is hiding in the south of the city?
Or did the Secret Service discover other Communist Party members in the south of the city?
Although he was filled with doubt and apprehension, he still said calmly, "Of course, no problem. I'll call them over right away."
He then picked up the phone and made a few calls. Not long after, four men arrived at the Anle Dance Hall.
"Mr. Song, what do you want with us?" one of them asked.
"Young Master has something to instruct you on."
As Song Yu spoke, he pointed to Shen Yi standing to the side.
Seeing this, the others quickly greeted Shen Yi, "Greetings, Young Master."
Song Yu then left the room on his own initiative.
Shen Yi took out the drawing paper, placed it in front of them, and said:
"I'm looking for someone right now. He's very likely in the south of the city. This person is missing a little finger on his right hand, like this."
"I want you to tell your drivers to keep an eye out. If they spot someone like this, they'll get a 50 yuan reward. If it's really the person I'm looking for, they'll get a 200 yuan reward."
"As for which car dealership the person who made the discovery belongs to, I'll have Uncle Song waive that dealership's offerings for next month."
Upon hearing this, the managers of several car dealerships all showed expressions of surprise and delight; this was a month's worth of offerings!
Moreover, they only need to give the order to have the opportunity, and they don't have to pay the reward money.
There's a reward of fifty yuan for finding someone who's missing a piece of their little finger—enough for an average family to live on for a month or two!
Moreover, with the temptation of two hundred yuan, wouldn't those rickshaw drivers work even harder?
"We are willing to serve you, young master!" the men said in unison.
Shen Yi nodded. He suspected that the person lived near the south of the city, otherwise it would be too far to go to the general store. If he went all the way there, it would not only waste time, but also arouse suspicion.
Shen Yi gave them a phone number and told them to contact him immediately if they had any news.
He then got up and walked out of the office, just in time to see Song Yu just coming up from downstairs.
"Uncle Song, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"Take care, young master."
As Song Yu watched Shen Yi's departing figure, he wondered if Shen Yi's target this time was Zhou Yihui.
So he decided to try to find out indirectly. None of those people were his confidants, and he was worried that if he asked them directly, they might tell Shen Yi.
Before Song Yu even entered the office, he could hear several people talking inside.
"Why would the young master go to so much trouble to find someone missing a finger? Is he an enemy?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? As long as you get what you want, that's all that matters. Knowing too much won't do us any good."
"Too."
……
Song Yu, who was standing at the door, frowned involuntarily when he heard their conversation.
A person missing a finger?
Zhou Yihui was not missing any fingers, and none of the comrades he had contacted in Nanjing were missing any fingers either.
Who could it be? Could it be another comrade lying in wait? Or a Japanese spy?
