Chapter 1224 Kikube-kun, you are not very honest.
"Is there a traitor?" Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "Do you know who it is?"
Old Huang shook his head, "Jisi Feieru arrested a group of people a few days ago, and there should be some of our people among them. The enemy conducted a brutal interrogation. The information obtained by Old Zhao was that someone had rebelled, but it was impossible to determine who it was. one."
“What happened? The loss was huge?” Cheng Qianfan asked with a solemn expression.
"The enemy arrested a group of people in Nanshi and Fourth Road in the British Concession, including several public officials from the puppet city government." Old Huang thought, "Now it seems that this was premeditated. , They are throwing hammers here and there, in order to confuse us so that we cannot determine which enemy's real target is."
“To be precise, the enemy wants to protect the traitor.” Cheng Qianfan said.
His expression is serious.
“Who are the public officials in the pseudo-city government?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"After being detained for two days, the family tried their best to release them all." Lao Huang said. He understood why Cheng Qianfan focused on these people. He shook his head, "I can't be sure."
"The enemy knows that there is a batch of goods to be shipped out, but they are not sure which batch of goods it is and who is transporting it?" Cheng Qianfan thought.
“Exactly.” Lao Huang nodded.
"Then, this means that this traitor does not have accurate information, but he does know that comrades on the transportation line will deliver supplies in the near future." Cheng Qianfan took the cigarette handed over by Lao Huang, lit it, and gently He took a breath and said, "In this case, it is certain that this person is not on the transportation line, but he has a certain understanding and contact with the transportation line."
“What did Lao Zhao say?”
"He just found out that the enemy was strictly inspecting the goods being transported at Waibaidu Bridge. He also knew that Kaisen Trading Company was one of ours, so he dispatched urgently to arrest people in the name of you." Lao Huang said.
"Today I will ask Inspector Zhao again to release people and goods." Cheng Qianfan thought, "He will delay it for another two days."
"First of all, warn the local party organization that this batch of goods must pass the customs normally." He looked at Lao Huang, "Inspector Zhao will curse and unintentionally let the news out, and he will disgust me for two days. In this case, the local party organization will You know, they have to find a way to get the materials in the goods out of the seizure before tomorrow night, and the remaining goods must pass through customs normally."
"Do you need us to help them get the materials out of the impound warehouse?" Lao Huang thought for a moment and asked.
"Absolutely not." Cheng Qianfan said decisively, "Inspector Zhao detained people, cars, and goods because he was targeting me. This is the only thing we can do. We don't need to have any involvement in other things."
He looked at Lao Huang and said, "We have to trust the local party organizations, they have the ability to get the supplies out."
The special party branch in the French Concession can provide assistance to local party organizations while ensuring its own safety. Inspector Zhao impounds vehicles. This is on the premise of ensuring his own safety. However, helping local party organizations get the seized goods out seems like It is easy, but in fact it hides hidden dangers. At most, it provides undetectable help in secret, such as providing opportunities under a wide range of conditions.
"What are you worried about?" Lao Huang keenly caught the trace of worry in Comrade Huo Miao's caution.
“There is no definite explanation.” Cheng Qianfan said with a solemn expression, “But I feel like there is a net coming towards me.”
He mentioned to Lao Huang that when he was in Nanjing City, he was alerted by the Ueno Qingyin incident.
"Your worries are justified." Old Huang's expression was serious. "You are a friend of the Japanese noble Master Kawada. Yanofuji was born as a retainer of a noble family. He wants to entertain you well without knowing your Japanese identity. Next, it stands to reason that I will take your Chinese sentiments into consideration and will not take you to visit those..."
At this point, Lao Huang was silent, his eyes full of hatred and sadness. He continued, "It's such a coincidence that you can get that kind of information from the chat among the tea guests. It shows that you are right to stay put. The enemy is worried. Now it seems that Ueno Qingyin is most likely a bait deliberately released by the enemy."
He looked at Cheng Qianfan, "What we need to determine now is why the enemy wants to investigate you? Is it because of the investigation on the assassination of Wang Quanhai in Nanjing, or is it that some kind of suspicion comes from Shanghai?"
“We can’t be sure for the moment.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head. “This feeling of being targeted by the enemy is very uncomfortable. Therefore, we have to be more vigilant than usual in recent times.”
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake." Lao Huang looked seriously and nodded.
As an underground worker who has been lurking within the enemy for more than ten years, he strongly supports Comrade Huo Miao's almost harsh and even ruthless cautious work attitude.
…
That morning, Cheng Qianfan once again asked Cardiff Zhao for help.
The two sides had a big quarrel.
Chamber Zhao looked at Cheng Qianfan who left angrily, with a gloomy face. After thinking for a moment, he told his subordinates that he would be detained for two more days.
Soon, the latest information that the goods would be detained for another two days was sent to Gu Xinrui.
At the same time, information was delivered that the enemy was intensifying inspections of passing goods at Waibaidu Bridge.
"It's very dangerous. The enemy is waiting at the Waibaidu Bridge." Gu Xinrui said to Tang Xiaoye, "We are lucky this time. Thanks to the intrigue between Shuli Zhao and Cheng Qianfan, we accidentally saved us once."
“I have also received intelligence from the organization.” Tang Xiaoye said, “There is a traitor among us, and the traitor revealed to the enemy that we have a batch of supplies to be shipped out of Shanghai.”
“Do you know who the traitor is?” Gu Xinrui asked immediately.
“I don’t know, we are still secretly investigating and screening.” Tang Xiaoye said with a solemn expression.
For underground workers, the most worrying and dangerous thing is that there are traitors, and the most troublesome thing is knowing that there are traitors but not knowing which ones they are.
"What we have to do now is to get the dry batteries and sulfa powder out of the withheld warehouse before tomorrow night." Gu Xinrui said, "Then the remaining goods will pass the customs normally. In this case, the enemy's strict investigation can actually help Kaisen Trading Company Successfully eliminate suspicion and gain a certain degree of recognition from the enemy.”
He looked at Tang Xiaoye and said seriously, "This needs your help."
“Has the organization agreed to develop Shi Xiaomin?” Tang Xiaoye asked happily immediately.
During this period, our party’s policy for building the party in patrol houses, police, and factories was: based on needs rather than possibilities.
That is to say, if someone in a certain department or unit requests to join the party, he or she will meet the conditions to join the party, but the development or otherwise will depend on the needs of the underground struggle. If there are already a group of underground party members active in this department, then there will be no development for the time being.
The organizational principles stipulate that in the struggle in white areas, the underground party must be lean and capable. The more people and size it has, the more contacts it will have. A little carelessness will cause unnecessary losses.
For a large factory with a thousand employees, a dozen or so people are enough. The emphasis is on quality rather than quantity. The key is to develop party members in key departments.
How can we develop party members in key departments?
Being in a factory is to break into important workshops and important technical departments.
In the patrol room, the fake police station must try to break into the political department.
Or they are party members who develop in special departments or special positions.
In short, we must find ways to climb up and get in.
The higher you climb and the deeper you dig in, the more beneficial it will be to the party’s work and the more information you can obtain.
Tang Xiaoye had been in contact with Shi Xiaomin for a long time and learned that Shi Xiaomin had a strong willingness to participate in the anti-Japanese war and national salvation. After an organized investigation, Shi Xiaomin had some incidents while working at the Terrasto Road Police Hospital and treating arrested comrades of our party. The expression of sympathy and care for our party comrades is something that can be developed. However, because there are already comrades from our party in the Terrasto Road Police Hospital, the organization had previously shelved Tang Xiaoye’s request to develop Shi Xiaomin.
“Be careful.” Gu Xinrui said to Tang Xiaoye with a serious expression and concern and worry in his eyes.
To develop Shi Xiaomin, this means that Tang Xiaoye has to formally reveal his identity to Shi Xiaomin and have frank discussions with him as a party introducer. This is naturally risky.
As the saying goes, knowing people but not knowing their hearts, no one can guarantee whether Shi Xiaomin’s enthusiasm for anti-Japanese and national salvation, sympathy and understanding for our party are disguised appearances or heartfelt support.
"I will pay attention." Tang Xiaoye nodded and said with a smile.
…
"Xiahou, what's the gain?" Dong Zhengguo brought two of his trusted men to the checkpoint at Waibaidu Bridge.
The Japanese soldiers were responsible for setting up interceptors, and No. 76 was responsible for searching and arresting people.
“Chief Dong.”
In September, the Secret Service Headquarters had eight committees and four offices. However, the eight committees and four offices were soon cancelled, and four offices and four offices were established.
The first branch is responsible for dealing with the military commander; the second branch is responsible for dealing with the central commander; the third branch is responsible for dealing with the Loyalty and Salvation Army; and the fourth branch is responsible for dealing with the concessions and the Red Party.
Dong Zhengguo was transferred to the Fourth Division and is currently the chief of the Second Section of the Fourth Division, mainly because he was born in the Central Unification Bureau and has rich experience in dealing with the Red Party.
Dong Zhengguo couldn't help but frown as he listened to the reports from his subordinates as he walked.
According to intelligence, the Red Party is anxious to transport this batch of materials out of Shanghai within these two days.
There is no harvest yet. Is the information wrong? Or did the Red Party notice something and make adjustments?
“Strict interrogation, there must be no careless omissions.” Dong Zhengguo said. He moved his arms habitually as he spoke. He had been injured by a grenade before. Although the shrapnel was taken out, it still left a dull pain when it rained on cloudy days.
"yes."
Dong Zhengguo took the list handed over by Xiahou. He looked through it carefully. These were lists of merchants and travelers who had passed the customs.
Since it is uncertain whether the Red Party uses commercial banks to transport supplies or breaks them up into parts and uses individuals to pass the customs, even if a single citizen carries luggage through the customs, they will be closely checked.
Looking through it, he found nothing suspicious. Dong Zhengguo handed the list back to Xia Hou, "Focus on individuals carrying large luggage."
He had a hunch that the Red Party might have received wind of the incident.
However, this does not mean that the Red Party will give up transporting supplies through the border.
For the materials urgently needed by the Red Party and the New Fourth Army, those people risked huge risks to give it a try. With his understanding of the Red Party, in the face of strict interrogation, the Red Party did not want to give up, but tried to pass the customs as much as possible Method.
The most likely one is to break it into parts and hand over the most important supplies to a single person to pass through the border in secret.
…
Yuchun River.
Cheng Qianfan took a bath, put on a brand new nightgown, and just lay on the recliner. The waiter brought tea, green radish, preserved melon seeds and other snacks.
Beside him lay Araki Harima.
Araki especially likes to eat green radish.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Araki Harima and was surprised to see Araki gnawing happily like a rabbit.
After chewing three green radishes in a row, Araki let out a radish burp and sighed happily, "Has the assassination at the Bund Pier been investigated?"
"The assassin who was captured alive was recruited. This man's name is Xiang Wei. He said that he was from the Sixth Division of the Shanghai District Operation Brigade of the Military Command, and he was ordered to assassinate me by the commander Wan Haiyang." Cheng Qianfan said.
“Wan Haiyang?” Araki Harima frowned and thought.
“Is there such a person?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"According to the information we have, there is no one named Wan Haiyang in the military command of Shanghai. This should be a pseudonym." Araki Harima shook his head, but then he looked thoughtful.
“What?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
“There is indeed a man named Wan in the Shanghai District Operation Brigade of the Military Command, but his name is not Wan Haiyang.” Araki Harima said.
He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro's expectant eyes and said, "This person's name is Wan Jiliang, and he is the beloved general of Cheng Xuyuan, secretary of the Shanghai District of Military Command. However, the name Wan Jiliang may be just a pseudonym."
"Wan Jiliang..." Cheng Qianfan read the name thoughtfully.
Then he said to Araki Harima, "This Xiang Wei was taken away by Jin Kemu for interrogation. Otherwise, I would like to continue the interrogation."
“This Jin Kemu is always against the empire.” Araki Harima said with a sinister expression.
"Sooner or later, we have to get rid of Jin Kemu." Cheng Qianfan also said with fierce eyes and gritted teeth. Then, he frowned, shook his head unwillingly and sighed, "It's just that under the current situation, it is precisely because Jin Kemu is not friendly to the empire that the French are even more Trust and support Jin Kemu.”
Araki Harima nodded. This was the reason why the empire did not take action against Jin Kemu. At this stage, it was not easy to stimulate the French's nerves too much.
“What happened to Chief Okada’s death?” Araki Harima asked.
“The statement I got from the Mei Bureau’s Joint Affairs Office is that Chief Okada was killed in a despicable sneak attack by the New Fourth Army.” Cheng Qianfan said, “But...”
His eyes flickered and he hesitated to speak.
“Just what?” Araki Harima asked.
“However, I suspect there is something hidden in it.” Cheng Qianfan said. He looked at Araki Harima with a thoughtful expression, and then said, “Araki-kun, the death of Chief Okada has already been concluded.”
Araki Harima nodded and understood what Shirayaki-kun meant, that is, this matter has been finalized within the empire, especially at the Mei Agency. Everyone can talk about it in private, but we still have to pay attention to the impact in public.
“Kikube-kun is not very honest.” Cheng Qianfan suddenly said quietly.
