Chapter 773 Screening and Verification
Cheng Qianfan recounted that he witnessed the secret tapping technique used to communicate between Zhang Ping and Councilor Zhao, but out of habitual caution, he did not specify what the two people ‘said’.
When Lu Dazhang and Lao Huang heard this, their expressions were shocked. They looked at each other with excitement in their eyes, and then there was silence again.
“I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it.” Lu Dazhang sighed, his voice even hoarse due to his excitement, “After so many years, I didn’t expect that there are still Teko comrades alive (living outside).”
“Are you sure?” Lao Huang took a puff of cigarette and confirmed again.
“It’s basically confirmed,” Cheng Qianfan said.
The secret message Zhang Ping sent to Governor Zhao was: Protect Bai, keep the documents in the same place, find the organization, and tell the organization that the Party will always be in my heart.
The first sentence, protect Bai well, should refer to Bai Feiyu. Obviously, Bai Feiyu has a very important position in Zhang Ping's heart.
The second sentence is to explain the location where the documents were hidden. The so-called ‘old place’ should be the secret place that she and Cardinal Zhao had tacitly agreed upon.
The following words are an important basis for Cheng Qianfan to judge that Zhang Ping is currently out of touch with the organization.
As for whether it was a long-term loss of contact or a recent temporary interruption of contact with the organization for some reason, it is temporarily unknown. However, intuitively speaking, Cheng Qianfan is inclined to be the former.
In the end, the three comrades of the special party group in the French Concession held secret discussions on the matter. Comrades "Piano" and "Feiyu" agreed with the suggestion of Comrade "Huo Miao", the leader of the party group:
As to the identity of Zhang Ping and Zhao Li, call Comrade "Farmer" immediately to verify.
This is a necessary and strict procedure.
First of all, Special Branch is affiliated with the headquarters. To verify the identities of Zhang Ping and Zhao Li, they must go through the headquarters.
For example, among the three people "Huo Miao", "Yuchang" and "Feiyu", apart from Comrade "Feiyu" who has always been connected with the organization, Comrade "Huo Miao" and "Yuchang" who have been out of contact for a long time are both After a rigorous organizational assessment, they were approved to join the team by the Northwest Headquarters.
Among them, Cheng Qianfan was specially entrusted by Comrade ‘Xiang Wu’ and Comrade ‘Farmer’ to assess Cheng Min.
Lao Huang personally approached the organization, and Comrade "Farmer" completed the screening and assessment in person, and officially returned to the organization.
Now call Comrade "Farmer". If Zhang Ping and Zhao Shuli have returned to the organization and are currently on a mission, the headquarters will naturally take the initiative to prevent them from conducting an in-depth investigation of the two.
In addition, Teko’s **** identity is very secretive. Due to the principle of confidentiality, even if some facts need to be verified with the help of the local party organization in Shanghai, they still need the consent of the headquarters.
In addition, there is a very important point. Although Cheng Qianfan judges that the two people are most likely his comrades, for the sake of safety, he still needs to be careful. Maybe the headquarters has some more accurate information about the two people. ?
…
Guilin.
Eighth Route Army Office in Guilin.
This is a silver-gray two-story brick and wood structure building.
It was already late at night, and in one of the rooms, the desk lamp suddenly went out.
"Huh?" The man who was working at the desk quickly put the documents on the table directly into the drawer and locked it in the dark.
At this time, guard Xiao Li's voice came from outside the house, "Chief, there's a power outage. I brought you an oil lamp."
“Okay, thank you, Xiao Li.” Comrade ‘Farmer’ said, “Please go to the kitchen and bring me a steamed bun with dried plums and vegetables left over from today.”
“Chief, what we are eating today is Lao Zhang’s snail noodles.” Xiao Li said.
“Oh oh oh, yes.” Comrade ‘Farmer’ laughed.
The door opened, Comrade Xiao Li came in with an oil lamp and closed the door behind him.
“Chief, you are so careful. If one day I am so dizzy that I forget the information correctly, I will become a spy.” Xiao Li said with a smile.
“So, when doing revolutionary work, you must always keep a clear head.” Comrade ‘Farmer’ said with a smile.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Director, it’s me, Lao Zhang.”
Seeing that it was Lao Zhang who was in charge of the telegraph room, Xiao Li knew that something big must happen. He went out again and brought a hot water bottle in. Then he left voluntarily and stood guard outside the room seven or eight meters away.
Comrade ‘Farmer’ took the telegram, glanced at it, and his expression immediately became solemn.
He glanced at Lao Zhang, who immediately left the room and glanced at Xiao Li who was on guard outside. The two looked at each other and smiled. They had long been accustomed to Comrade 'Farmer''s caution that was engraved in their bones. Moreover, I am usually influenced by my "farmer" comrades, and I have strict requirements on myself.
Zhang Ping?
Chau Li?
Comrade ‘Farmer’ frowned. Both names were unfamiliar. Of course, these two people were most likely using pseudonyms.
Looked at the basic information of the two people investigated by Comrade Huo Miao again, Comrade Farmer's heart moved, and he had a vague impression of Zhang Ping.
Comrade Huo Miao especially mentioned that there was a gangster nicknamed "Three Eyelids" who was almost recruited into the red team by Liming, but was later eliminated because of his bad style. It was this person who recognized Zhang Ping.
“Lao Zhang.” Comrade ‘Farmer’ shouted.
“Huh.” Lao Zhang opened the door and came in.
Comrade ‘Nongfu’ handed the encrypted telegram to Lao Zhang, “Reply to Yanzhou.”
"yes!"
…
Lu Xinge patted the snowflakes on his body and couldn't help rubbing his hands and breathing.
About half an hour ago, it started to snow in Shanghai.
This is the first snow in Shanghai in the 28th year of the Republic of China, and it comes later than in previous years.
“Team leader, you are back?” A Yuan was not sleeping yet, so he heard the noise and stood up to greet him.
“Aren’t you asleep yet?” Lu Xinge asked.
After Ahu died for his country, Ayuan was his closest subordinate. Now Ayuan lives in his home as his distant cousin.
“I went to visit Aunt Feng’s house next door, and I just came back not long ago,” A Yuan said.
“What did you find out?” Lu Xinge asked with an interested look.
The house next door to Aunt Feng's house was rented out. It used to be occupied by a family of four. However, A Yuan noticed that the tenants next door had changed during the day. They were a young couple.
According to A Yuan, the couple looked a little weird.
Lu Xingge asked him what was weird, but A Yuan couldn't tell.
A Yuan decided to go and find out.
“The bedroom and study have been cleaned, and the living room has also been cleaned.” A Yuan said.
“There’s no movement in the kitchen?” Lu Xinge immediately caught what A Yuan was going to say and asked.
“Yes, the kitchen has not been cleaned and is still in a mess.” A Yuan said, “I smelled it and there was only a musty smell and no cooking smell.”
Lu Xingo fell into deep thought.
The musty smell may be caused by the kitchen garbage produced by the previous tenant before leaving, and the door was closed without ventilation.
There is no smell of cooking, which means there is no fire today.
Of course, it’s possible that I just moved in and I’m too tired to clean up the room, so I just don’t cook.
It's just that as a young couple living at home, they may not be able to cook for a day or two, but they have to open the fire sooner or later. Generally speaking, when you move to a new home, the kitchen must at least be cleaned. Even if you don't clean it carefully, you still have to clean it. Open the door for easy cleaning and ventilation.
This couple obviously has a problem.
…
“Good boy, very clever.” Lu Xingge was in a good mood, “Keep an eye on this young couple.”
"clear."
“Team leader, tell me, are they coming for us?” A Yuan asked.
“It may or may not be the case, but be careful and be prepared to evacuate at any time,” Luxingo said.
"yes."
“By the way, there is one more thing.” Lu Xingo said.
He described to A Yuan the sneaky man who spoke Japanese and reported to him pretending to be a little beggar.
“Team leader, according to what you said, I can catch eight of them as soon as I go out.” A Yuan said with a wry smile.
Lu Xinge knocked A Yuan on the head, and then he also shook his head.
The man who made the phone call was wearing a hat and covering up, and because it was night, the men could not see his face clearly.
“That’s fine.” Lu Xinge waved his hand.
If the 'little beggar' can meet and recognize this person again, then it will be worthwhile to investigate. Otherwise, if he just rashly inquires about this person, not only will it be difficult to find this person, but it may even attract unnecessary trouble. Suspicion and trouble.
…
The next day.
Yanzhou.
The Fifth Brigade of the Anti-Japanese War.
“Teacher Liu, there are comrades over there looking for you.”
Comrade Liu Zeliang took the iron basin and was about to go to the canteen to get food when he heard someone calling him.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a comrade in the security room with a comrade in his early thirties who smiled and nodded at him.
“Xiao Liu, remember to help me pack food.”
Handing the iron basin to a passing student, Liu Zeliang turned around and walked over.
“What happened?” he asked in a low voice.
He knew the person coming. He was Comrade Zheng Zhitong from the border security team.
Subconsciously thinking that some energetic students from the Anti-Japanese University were causing trouble, Liu Zeliang hurriedly asked.
“Chief, I have a secret message from you, and I need you to go there in person.” Zheng Zhiteng said, and whispered something.
Liu Zeliang's expression immediately became extremely serious, "Take me there quickly."
About half an hour later, in a room guarded by sentries, Liu Zeliang held the telegraph newspaper in his hands. He was a little excited, and his hands even trembled slightly.
Two comrades who he thought had been sacrificed by the enemy's butcher knife suddenly appeared, and they were still alive!
And according to the objective description in the cable, these two lost comrades were always looking for the organization. Even when they were almost arrested by the enemy, what they wanted to do was to tell the organization that the party was always in their hearts!
Liu Zeliang's eyes were a little red, and he was extremely excited. After many years, he suddenly learned about two old subordinates and comrades from the Special Kosovo Intelligence Section. For this person who succeeded Comrade Wang Yong as the second Special Kosovo Intelligence Section As a section chief, this is a great joy and relief.
Sitting in front of a table with bluestones as its legs, Liu Zeliang began to write. Sometimes he would pause and think for a moment, and then write quickly.
The content he wrote will play an extremely critical role in verifying the identities of the two comrades and in subsequent screening investigations.
…
Hongkou District.
The secret residence of Shanghai's Extraordinary Higher Education School.
The office of Section Chief Sanmotojiro.
“Section Chief, I haven’t received any valuable intelligence feedback yet.” Araki Harima said with a look of shame on his face. After speaking, he put his legs together and lowered his head to wait for the reprimand.
"Didn't we get any relevant information?" Sanbonjiro frowned. He stood up and walked around. After taking two steps, he turned to look at Araki Harima. "Or is it that the analysis and judgment of 'Curian Carp' was wrong? The Shanghai Red Party did not report anything to Maoshan." The New Fourth Army’s plan to transport personnel?”
Araki Harima did not answer immediately. He thought carefully for a moment before he said, "Section Chief, my subordinates tend to be the former. The analysis of 'Crucian Carp' should be correct, but we have not found any clues about the other party."
“Intensify the investigation.” Sanbonjiro said solemnly, “Go to see Zhang Xiaolin and ask his people to step up the investigation and find out the information.”
As he said this, Sanbonjiro snorted. Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. The empire turned a blind eye to some of the behaviors of this greedy Shanghai gangster tycoon just because he was still useful. Now it was Zhang Xiaolin who showed his performance. It's time.
"Yes!" Araki Harima nodded. Zhang Xiaolin has many disciples and grandsons, and the 'New Asia Peace Promotion Association' is constantly expanding. Many gangsters in Shanghai are recruited by the 'New Asia' Peace Promotion Association. To inquire about information, Zhang Xiaolin's people BitHigh Course has natural advantages.
“In addition, you should also take some time to meet Miyazaki.” Sanbonjiro said, “Let the people in Miyazaki pay more attention.”
"Hai!" Araki Harima was overjoyed. After the 'misunderstanding' a few days ago, the section chief did not hesitate to arrange for Kentaro Miyazaki to participate in this extremely secretive operation. This is enough to show that the section chief has no grudge against Miyazaki. , still trusts Kentaro Miyazaki very much.

No. 22, Xue Huali Road.
Central patrol room.
Xiao Cheng always takes the German black-backed wolfdog for a walk in the yard.
Lao Huang was holding a wine bottle in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth, chatting with him while walking.
"I'm warning you, don't take any chances with this dog." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Lao Huang and warned.
The old guy was staring at the big wolfdog, and there was something wrong with his eyes.
“I like dogs so much, why would I eat them?” Lao Huang argued, “Don’t get me wrong.”
Cheng Qianfan said hey, you like dogs, you like their meat, you like Dundun and you can't live without them.
At this time, a patrolman next to him walked over and almost laughed out loud, covering his mouth. He was obviously amused by the conversation between Mr. Cheng and Old Huang.
“I haven’t seen you eat less than one piece when eating meat?” Lao Huang muttered.
“Headquarters called back.” Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, looked around, and said in a low voice.
"Be honest, have you forgotten who feeds you every day?" Lao Huang took the dog leash from Cheng Qianfan's hand, scolded the wolf dog, and changed the empty wine bottle in his hand to the other hand, "What should I say?"
"We have been ordered by the organization to be responsible for the screening and verification of the two comrades." Cheng Qianfan was excited and said without changing his face, "If the screening and verification are correct, we will take the two comrades home."
