The first-class carriage and the supporting sleeping car, that is, the sleeper carriage, are hung at the closest position to the locomotive of the entire train. This is the need for heating supply. Hot steam is transported from the front of the car, and the first-class carriage is as warm as spring. The third-class carriage at the end of the series is not so happy, and it is all about crowding people to keep warm.

If it is summer, then the situation will be reversed. The first-time carriage must be hung at the end of the sequence. Because the weather is hot in summer, the black smoke with a large amount of coal ash coming out of the chimney on the front of the car will cause the first carriage to suffer first. If you don’t open the window, you will die of heat. The two harms will be the least, and you have to suffer from coal soot.

On the platform, the passengers in the first-class carriage walked slowly, just like walking in the garden. A wife even held a pug. The dog was wearing a beautiful cotton jacket. Two hundred meters away, the passengers in the third-class carriage were still trying hard to hang themselves on the carriage. It was simply the difference between heaven and hell.

During the Republic of China, the price of train tickets was doubled in the ladder system. If the third-class car tickets were ten yuan, the second-class car would be twenty yuan, and the first-class car would be forty yuan. In addition, the sleeper tickets for sleepers would be at least sixty yuan, which would be more expensive than the third-class car. Comfort was obtained by expensive money.

At the door of the first-class carriage, two conductors with golden hats were lined up, waiting for passengers to get on the train and checked the tickets. Liu Yanzhi and others successfully boarded the train and found their seats according to the number marked on the ticket. The train tickets in 1948 were not much different from those in 1984. They were both a small card with the seat number printed on the train date, which happened to be a three-person seat in a row.

After entering the carriage, I found that there were a lot of luggage here, the luggage rack was full of large suitcases, and the seats were filled with things.

"Does these people also go to the single gang?" Liu Yanzhi said strangely.

"You're right." Dang Paiguo Road, "They also brought some goods along the way to subsidize household expenses, but the level was relatively high. They were imported goods, such as Western medicine, milk powder, glass stockings, etc., and there were also single-sponsors who were more advanced than them. They took planes from Nanjing, Shanghai, to buy gold, US dollars and other money. The profit was very high. During the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Zikun's wives also did this, running back and forth between Hong Kong and Chongqing to make some difference."

After fifteen minutes, the train had not yet started. Dang Maiguo looked at his watch and had already left. It was common for trains to miss the train these days, but the seats on the opposite side were still empty, which seemed to be a little wrong, because the entire carriage was full, and there were even a few friends brought by the train convoy at the train connection, but they were just standing there and didn't dare to come and sit in these empty seats.

Ten minutes later, the third-class carriage had almost finished the train, but the train still did not start, and the Dang Patriotic couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

A shiny Buick car drove directly to the platform and parked at the door of the first-time car. The driver got out first and opened the door. From inside, a young man in a navy suit was combed with a smooth and smooth airplane head, and a gold tie on the red and blue striped tie. He looked like a idle little driver, but he had a different kind of ability and wisdom in every move.

Xiao Kai also brought two followers, both in suits and ties, but the texture and tailoring were obviously inferior. The three of them boarded the train and sat down opposite Liu Yanzhi and others. The express train heading to Nanjing slowly started.

"Sir, I think you look familiar." The little Kai stared at Dang Aiguo impolitely for a few seconds, and suddenly spoke.

"I am a public face, and anyone who looks like an acquaintance." Dang Paiguo said without caring. In fact, he had already seen that the three people on the other side were not simple. They were definitely not rich children, but powerful personnel like military, police, and constitutional personnel. Xiao Kai was very arrogant and domineering. Only the old military commander had this spectrum. The two followers' eyes were shining and their waists were bulging. They were obviously capable field agents.

"Xiao's surname is Chen, from the Secret Service." Xiao Kai took out his business card and handed it over. He did not hide his identity as a special agent, and was even quite proud.

When the passenger next to him suddenly looked sideways with a look of fear when he heard the words "Secret Service".

Dang Maitou took the business card with both hands, saw the name Chen Kai printed on it, and chuckled: "It turns out to be Chief Chen, I have been admired for a long time."

Chen Kai was stunned: "Do you know me?"

Dang Paiguodao: "Chief Chen is a primary school classmate of Chen Dashuai's brother-in-law. Later, he worked with Boss Dai in Chongqing. He seemed to be from a secret telegram group. He made outstanding achievements and even the old man knew about you."

This time, Shen Kai was confused. In fact, he didn't know the Party and Patriotic. He just felt that the other party was like a fat sheep and wanted to rob and extort something, but he didn't expect to encounter a tough guy.

"Sir, sir..." Chen Kai's tone was no longer so fluttering.

"I work for NAVY." The Party Patriotic smiled mysteriously on his face, and he was in awe. It turned out that the other party was a senior at the intelligence port. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Military Intelligence Bureau and the US Navy Staff Intelligence Agency jointly established the Sino-US Special Technical Cooperation Institute to train agents and combat personnel behind enemy lines, and carry out special operations against the Japanese occupation forces. The leader of the US side is Rear Admiral Melesi. Some Chinese American staff under him must be one of them.

"Smoke." Chen Kai took out the pure gold cigarette box and opened it and asked three friends from the "U.S. Navy" to smoke camel cigarettes.

"Thank you, I'll smoke this." Dang Paiguo took out his own colorful cigarettes. Whether it's camel or good luck, they are all cigarettes from American friendly countries. Everyone laughed at each other, feeling of mutual appreciation and heroes knowing heroes. They took out lighters and politely lit cigarettes to each other.

These days, not only can smoke in the train, but also in the plane. Six agents were sucking in the clouds and talking nonsense, talking about the U.S. dollar exchange rate, penicillin price, and the secrets of various military and political officials from the Xu-Beng battle, and laughing from time to time.

Who is Dang Patriotic? He is a doctor of history from Jiangdong University, specializing in modern history. He has read a vast sea of ​​historical materials, documents, archives, memoirs, diaries, etc., and is full of secrets. Chen Kai is a major in the Secret Service and knows very little secrets. However, compared with Dang Patriotic, he is simply a pediatrician.

They were talking happily. In the corner of the carriage, two men in long gowns and glasses always covered their faces with newspapers, and glanced at them from time to time. This was the surveillance agent sent by Chen Zikun.

From Omi to Nanjing, the train took eight hours to walk. The long journey became interesting because of the enthusiastic companions. Chen Kai wanted to make friends with the Party and Patriotic, so he invited them to the dining car to have dinner. After eating, he had to play cards. He started playing poker on the dining table, of course, which led to the winner and loser. Both sides took out US dollars to bet. After a few hours of action, the Party and Patriotic were filled with banknotes. This was not that Chen Kai deliberately let the water go, but that he was really inferior to others.

The traveling group brought enough high-tech equipment. Dang Paiguo's glasses had a miniature projector inside. He could see the other party's cards through the camera placed on the hook of the carriage behind Shen Kai. It would be strange if he didn't win money.

Chen Kai lost more than a thousand dollars and his face turned green. Although he was the spy leader of the Secret Service, he was not that good at making money. He wanted to make a profit, but he had no money in his pocket.

Dang Aiguo is a caring person. He smiled and said, "Xiao Shen, if you don't admit defeat, come again, I'll lend it to you." He said that and pushed the money over.

Chen Kai gritted his teeth and then bet. If nothing unexpected happens, when he arrived at Xiaguan Railway Station in Nanjing, he had already lost 10,000 US dollars. According to the ratio of US dollars to gold, it was 8,880 grams of gold, which was almost 300 taels of gold, and 10 taels of big yellow croaker, and thirty taels of big yellow croaker.

"Mr. Zhou, let's find a place to continue playing." Chen Kai was anxious and wanted to make a comeback. The party Paiguo, who used the pseudonym Zhou Muyun, was not willing to get involved with him. He snapped his fingers. Liu Yanzhi took the suitcase from the luggage rack, opened the password lock, and exposed the cardboard boxes printed in English.

"Penicillin!" Chen Kai's eyes lit up. Although penicillin could be mass-produced after the end of World War II and there was also production in China, it was still in short supply, especially the original imported from the United States, which were popular in hospitals and pharmacies. Mr. Zhou is amazing. A box of penicillin can be done by such a powerful person.

What Major Shen didn't know was that these precious penicillin were called penicillin seventy years later and could be bought for 80 cents in any health center, and no one was willing to use it.

Dang Aiguo said: "I won so much money from you, I'm sorry, Xiao Shen will sell these Western medicines for me, just give me the cost price."

"How can you be so embarrassed?" Chen Kai hurriedly refused, but in fact he was already moved.

Dang Paiguo Road: "There are so many things in the Navy warehouse, and they will expire if they are not sold. Just take them."

"If there is a place that can be used for me, you can call me anytime and be on call." Chen Kai nodded and bowed, thought for a while and added, "Where are you going, I'll send a car to take it away."

"You're welcome, we have arrangements." Dang Maiguo refused Chen Kai's kindness and brought Lei Meng and Liu Yanzhi into the bustling crowds of people leaving the station.

"Why do you want to curry favor with him?" Liu Yan asked, "a dog spy."

Dang Paiguo said: "This person is very powerful. After liberation, he went to Hong Kong. He was the founder of the 14th K. Later, he was a senior executive of the Bamboo Alliance Gang. When he died in the 1990s, Li Denghui went to pay his respects. When we came here, we must have a local person to help him. It is best to find him."

After leaving the train station, the three of them took the tram to Central University to find Professor Lu, who had a legendary collection of information about dragon balls.

Central University was a famous institution during the Republic of China and the predecessor of Nanjing University. When they arrived at the gate of the university, the lights were already on. Today is Christmas, but the streets of Nanjing were solemn, and the situation was not good, and no one had the heart to celebrate the festival.

After a while and a few boxes of cigarettes, they finally found out about Professor Lu's address, but when they arrived at the house on Sanshan Street, the people living inside said that Professor Lu had moved out.

"Ah, I know where they moved?" Dang Aiguo asked in a Nanjing dialect.

"I don't know." The tenant looked honest and his expression was a little unnatural.

Dang Paiguo snapped his fingers, "Yanzhi, come and ask."

Liu Yanzhi showed his ID: "Secret Bureau, you either say it now or go back with me and suffer some trouble before talking." His cold eyes crossed the tenant's shoulders and fell on his wife and children in the room, adding, "Take it away together."

"Please, I really don't know." The tenant was so scared that his face was pale. Of course, he understood that the Secret Service was the former Military Control Commission. He killed people without blinking and lawless secret agencies. After entering their demon cave, the family was finished.

"Then what do you know?" Dang Maiguo asked.

"Several groups of people have come to see Professor Lu and foreign devils. The Lu family was afraid, so they hurriedly bought the house to me. The price was not high. I really don't know where they went."

This should be the truth. Dang Paiguo nodded, took people out, found a pawnshop that was still open, showed his ID and borrowed their phone number, and called Shen Kai, the Major of the Secret Service who owed him three hundred taels of gold.

"Xiao Shen, I, Zhou Muyun, help me find someone, a Chinese professor at Central University, whose name is Lu Weizheng."
