Chapter 430 The plan of the ‘Blue Bird’ (please subscribe and vote monthly)
Dai Chunfeng and Xue Yingzhen, who received a severe reprimand, were ordered by the Chairman to "solve the case within a time limit" and were "driven out" of the leader's residence.
“Dai Chunfeng, you must have slandered me in front of the committee and deliberately tricked me!” Xue Yingzhen lowered his voice and glared at Dai Chunfeng.
“I also said you were the one who got me into trouble.” Dai Chunfeng patted his tunic and responded unceremoniously.
The two just stared at each other, then snorted in unison and turned towards each other.
Getting in the car, Dai Chunfeng saw Xue Yingzhen's car swishing away from his car, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The Lixingshe Secret Service specializes in dealing with the Japanese, and the Party Affairs Investigation Office targets the Red Party. Logically speaking, everyone should perform their own duties. Xue Yingzhen may have felt unjustly punished after receiving such a harsh criticism.
However, Dai Chunfeng did not think that he had cheated Xue Yingzhen.
The two agencies perform their respective duties, but investigating the spies within the Supreme Military Council is an order given by the old man to both parties.
The most important thing is that the old man was almost in danger, and the safety of the leader comes first. In this case, do you, Xue Yingzhen, dare to say that it is none of your business?
“Drive back to Xufu Lane.” Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice.
The tired Dai Virgo rubbed his temples.
Although Xue Yingzhen helped him share the old man's anger, as a secret service agency dedicated to the fight against Japan, it was the Secret Service's unshirkable responsibility to investigate Japanese spies. If he did not uncover this spy hidden within the Supreme Military Council, his life would not be easy. .
Xufu Lane.
“Is there any progress on the Blue Bird side?” Dai Chunfeng asked Qi Wu.
“‘Bluebird’ previously reported that the war broke out in Shanghai and he was temporarily unable to contact Kamaga.” Qi Wu said.
Dai Chunfeng frowned, feeling irritated.
However, he also knew that Cheng Qianfan could not be blamed. The traitor was in Nanjing, and Cheng Qianfan could only conduct a side investigation. Even if Cheng Qianfan had access to Kamaga, it would be extremely difficult to find clues from there.
Furthermore, Cheng Qianfan was able to report Xu Gesen's bombing by Japanese military planes as soon as possible, allowing him to report to the Chairman before Xue Yingzhen, which is a great achievement in itself.
Otherwise, it would have been Dai Chunfeng who was tricked by Xue Yingzhen today.
This matter will ultimately focus on Nanjing.
"The old man is very angry." Dai Chunfeng said with a solemn expression, "Xu Gesen's incident is really too dangerous, and it must not happen again."
He looked at Qi Wu and said, "I won't be able to sleep at night unless I get rid of this traitor."
The official residence of the leader.
Chairman Chang Kaishen convened an emergency meeting with military and political officials.
“Will Xu Gesen’s incident make the British and Japan at odds with each other? Will the League of Nations intervene?” the chairman asked, with a trace of expectation in his eyes.
…
Beiping.
Yu Zheliu held a briefcase in his arms, and his target was a barber shop turning left at the entrance of the alley.
This is a small barber shop, and the owner, Lao Qiao, is his boss. Today is a day of connection.
Out of the alley, Yu Zheliu had just turned to the left when he saw Japanese soldiers carrying Type 38 rifles rummaging through boxes in the barber shop.
The door of the barber shop is riddled with bullet holes.
A Japanese soldier dragged out the **** old Qiao from the store.
Following a whistle from a Japanese sergeant, a military dog pounced on Lao Qiao, biting him ferociously.
Old Qiao was rolling on the ground, howling in pain.
There was another whistle, and the military dog was held back, with strips of human flesh hanging from its ferocious teeth.
The sergeant clanged out his command sword and pressed it against Lao Qiao's neck.
Lao Qiao raised his head and grinned.
He saw Yu Zheliu in the distance and quickly looked away.
Lao Qiao shouted slogans: Down with Japanese imperialism, long live the Red Party! Long live the people!
A translator wearing glasses translated Lao Qiao's words to the Japanese military officer.
The sergeant was very angry and stared at Lao Qiao, seeming to be considering how to deal with this Red Party anti-Japanese element.
Suddenly, Lao Qiao threw himself forward with all his strength. The saber penetrated his neck directly, and a pool of blood poured on the ground.
Yu Zheliu acted like a frightened passerby, watching all this in horror, turned around, and left quickly.
Behind him, the Japanese sergeant was venting his anger, stabbing Lao Qiao's body with his saber one after another...
…
If Cheng Qianfan still has a few reservations about Liu Bo's red content, Peng and Ou have already confirmed in their hearts that this former Japanese agent and patrol officer has great faith in the color red.
He had previously received intelligence that an agent was secretly executed within the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
This man is the warden of the Target Range Prison.
It is said that because of long-term listening to Liu Bo’s red propaganda and being ‘influenced’ by Liu Bo, he had a huge change in his thinking and became more committed to the red.
The matter was discovered by the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and he was eventually interrogated and killed.
Peng and Ou were shocked when they first heard about this.
Liu Bo actually influenced in prison and indirectly developed a patriotic young man who is close to the Red Army. It is not an exaggeration to describe this matter as "shocking".
In addition, comrades in the Target Range Prison also reported that many "prisoners" were deeply affected by Liu Bo's red remarks.
In the words of that comrade, these people can become excellent red warriors with just a little guidance and training!
These situations, Peng and Ou did not agree with each other. Cheng Qianfan said that they involved hidden agents in the organization at the Target Range Prison and the Party Affairs Investigation Department, so he must be careful.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust ‘Huo Miao’, it’s because organizational discipline doesn’t allow it.
He is the senior leader of the Shanghai Red Party. His identity allows him to know more about the situation. ‘Huo Miao’’s identity does not allow him to do so, and knowing too much is a security risk for ‘Huo Miao’.
Peng and Ou secretly came to a place on Hankou Road to meet Comrade Wang Jun.
Comrade Wang Jun reported a sad news to him.
Comrade Mao Zhipeng, a secret member of our party and deputy director of the Jiangsu Provincial Security Corps, died heroically in a battle with the Japanese army on West Disway Road a few days ago.
Peng Yuou was silent. He took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
He remembered Mao Zhipeng, a very forthright Xuzhou man and an old party member who was extremely loyal to the party.
“Comrade Zhipeng’s home?” Peng and Ou asked.
“There is also an old mother in her sixties who lives in her hometown in Xuzhou. Her wife and two children were originally in Nanjing. After Comrade Zhipeng joined the Songhu battlefield, his wife returned to her hometown in Xuzhou with her children to take care of her mother-in-law.”
…
Cheng Qianfan returned to the patrol room and walked around before getting off work early.
He immediately rushed to the secret stronghold of Shanghai Special High School on Nishi Jiraihuo Street and reported the matter to Sanbonjiro.
He originally thought that Sanbonjiro knew the inside story and wanted to find out something.
However, Sanbonjiro didn't seem to know about this, and Sanbon had just learned about Xu Gesen.
“Are those guys from HNA crazy?” Sanbonjiro frowned.
“How did the British react to this matter?” Sanbonjiro asked.
“The British Consul General in Shanghai was very angry and hurriedly left the scene. Senior officials from the public concession accompanied him to the hospital.” Cheng Qianfan said.
"You should pay close attention to this matter. If you have any news, please report it immediately." Sanbonjiro said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
At this moment, Araki Harima hurriedly knocked on the door and entered.
“Section Chief.” Araki Harima handed a piece of paper to Sanbonjiro.
Sanbonjiro took it, took a look at it, his face changed drastically, and then nodded, "That's it."
Sanbonjiro shook his head, "What a pity."
Cheng Qianfan looked calm, bowed and stepped back.
His intuition told him that the information reported by Araki Harima must be related to Xu Gesen's bombing by Japanese military planes. Unfortunately, it was a matter of confidentiality, and Sanbonjiro had no intention of revealing it to him.
However, Cheng Qianfan had other plans.
He left the Special High School Course, walked around for a while, and after confirming that no one was following him, he went to see Imamura Hyoutarou.
…
“You mean, you reported the incident to Sanbonjiro, and then Araki reported the situation to him?” Imamura Hyoutarou asked.
“Yes, Mr. Araki took a piece of paper and presented it to Section Chief Sanben, who said ‘I see’ and ‘What a pity’.” Cheng Qianfan said.
“Yes, it’s a pity.” Hearing this, Hyoutaro Imamura also sighed.
He looked at Cheng Qianfan who looked confused, "This matter is an empire secret, but there is no need to hide it from you."
Cheng Qianfan's face changed slightly and he said cautiously, "Sir, this matter is confidential. It's best if I don't know."
Hyoutaro Imamura looked at how cautious he was, fearing that he would be exposed to confidential matters, and laughed loudly, "It doesn't have to be like this, this matter has already happened, and you are a person I trust, so it doesn't matter if you know."
He looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Do you know why the Empire risked provoking the British and bombed Xu Gesen's car?"
Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
“The empire has received accurate information that Chang Kaishen of the National Government will take Xu Gesen’s car to Shanghai today.” Hyōtaro Imamura said.
“I see, if we can blow up Chang Kaishen to death.” Cheng Qianfan showed a happy expression, but he understood instantly, “Chang Kaishen is not in the car?”
“Chang Kaishen changed his plan temporarily and did not take this bus.” Hyotarō Imamura shook his head regretfully, “What a pity.”
“What a pity.” Cheng Qianfan nodded and said.
His heart was like a turbulent sea. Chang Kaishen's itinerary was considered a top secret within the national government. It was simply unreasonable that the Japanese knew about it in advance!
He recalled what Dai Chunfeng had mentioned before, that the contents of the highest-level meeting of the Nationalist Government's Military Commission were soon known to the Japanese side, and he immediately concluded that this matter was most likely the work of the traitor hiding in the government.
“What do you think about this?” Imamura Hyoutarou asked.
"It's such a pity to miss this opportunity." Cheng Qianfan said. Looking at Imamura Hyoutarou's expression, he immediately understood that this was not what Imamura Hyoutarou was asking about. "Sir, you are talking about the third section chief..."
Hyoutaro Imamura nodded, "Sanbon-kun is very well informed."
Cheng Qianfan was surprised and didn't know what to say.
Hyoutaro Imamura looked at the confused Miyazaki Kentaro and shook his head with a smile. This matter involves the empire's top secrets, and it is really difficult for Miyazaki-kun to understand the details.
“Eguchi Hideya came to see me today and is full of praise for you.” Hyōtaro Imamura said, changing the subject.
"Jiangguchi-kun is ridiculous. They are all serving the empire, and my subordinates just did their duty." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile. What he was thinking was, why hasn't the national army taken action against Jiangguchi's Rangers?
"Well said, it's a matter of duty!" Imamura Hyoutarou said with approval, "The empire needs talents like Miyazaki-kun."
Cheng Qianfan received the compliment, grinned happily, and quickly said that this was all the good teaching of Mr. Imamura.
Hyoutaro Imamura laughed, he was becoming more and more satisfied with Kentaro Miyazaki.
Loyal, clever, well, the key is that he is also very sensible.
…
Returned home to Yendli.
Have dinner.
Cheng Qianfan accompanies his wife to sleep.
With him by her side, Bai Ruolan slept particularly soundly.
Cheng Qianfan was full of things on his mind.
He gently got out of bed, went to the study, lit a cigarette, and recalled and thought carefully.
Hyoutaro Imamura asked him about Sanbonjiro's situation. Although he only said a few words, Cheng Qianfan was very interested.
What is Hyoutarou Imamura concerned about.
Imamura was surprised that Araki Harima got the relevant confidential information so quickly.
Judging from Hyōtaro Imamura's words and expression, he was surprised and wary of this.
In this way, Cheng Qianfan broke these details into pieces and thought about them carefully.
First of all, judging from Sanbonjiro’s previous reaction, this matter was not done by the Special Higher Education Department. Therefore, although Sanbonjiro was the director of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Department, he still did not know about it in advance.
However, Sanbonjiro soon received the exact information. Obviously, Sanbonjiro had another source of information. No, to be precise, Sanbonjiro learned the inside information from other channels.
So, what is the source of this channel?
Cheng Qianfan suddenly remembered the documents that Sanbonjiro had taken out when he had given him special training.
Among them is a telegram sent by Morishima, the counselor of the Japanese Consulate in Peiping, to the military attaché of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Kage Sasaki. He also memorized the telegram and reported it to the Nanjing headquarters.
So, can it be inferred that the Super High School has been maintaining some rather secret intelligence communication with some people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
As for Peiping?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
Morishima has a close relationship with Kage Sasamaaki, and the relationship between Sanbonjiro and Kage Sasamaaki is tense. Even if Morishima informed Shanghai, he would not contact Sanbon, but directly inform Kage Sasamaaki.
In addition, judging from Imamura Hyōtaro's reaction, Imamura knew about this matter in advance. At least, Imamura Hyōtaro knew about it earlier than Sanbonjiro.
Furthermore, Imamura Hyotarō didn’t think Sanbonjiro should know the inside story so quickly.
Hyoutaro Imamura's worry is because Imamura suspects that Sanbon has a channel that is sensitive to information, and this channel belongs to Hyoutarou Imamura's relevant departments, so Hyotarō Imamura is so sensitive.
This can also support his speculation that this incident is inextricably linked to the Japanese diplomatic department in China.
Diplomacy!
Cheng Qianfan believes that he has found the key node.
Not from Beiping.
Then, the most likely ones are Shanghai and Nanjing.
Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai?
The Embassy of Japan in Nanjing?
Cheng Qianfan continued to think.
He tends to rule out the possibility that Shanghai is the most direct planner.
Because he had just met with Imamura Hyōtaro yesterday, and Imamura was still asking him about the French Concession attack.
If there is such a major move, Imamura would not have the "leisure" to meet him.
Of course, this is just his speculation. Maybe Hyōtaro Imamura, or Eiichi Iwai, the man behind him, received the information from the traitor in Nanjing only after this meeting?
However, overall, Cheng Qianfan is more likely to be the Japanese Embassy in Nanjing.
One thing he is extremely certain of is that the mastermind behind this incident should have a direct relationship with the Japanese diplomatic department in China.
Cheng Qianfan thought again, and the more he thought about it, the more he tended to agree with his guess.
There is such a traitor within the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, which is too harmful.
This matter is of great importance and Cheng Qianfan dare not neglect it.
He decided to send a report to the Nanjing headquarters overnight.
Cheng Qianfan wakes up the sleeping cat.
The cat glanced at him, followed Cheng Qianfan, and skillfully climbed out of the window.
Cheng Qianfan carefully closed the window.
Leave the cat on duty outside the window.
He himself walked silently on the roof of the building. After a few flips, he jumped down and disappeared into the night.
Very grateful to [Xicheng Snow Erlang] for the 200 starting coin reward, and [Book Friends 20210601200725689] for the 100 starting coin reward.
