Chapter 844 Headquarters call back
“Have you been given specific tasks and actions?” Lu Dazhang asked from the side.
"No." Shuli Zhao frowned, "This is the strangest thing. They tried their best to recruit me, but there was no follow-up action. Before, they just asked me to pay attention to whether there were any abnormalities in the jurisdiction."
“The plan is very big.” Lao Huang said.
A few people nodded with serious expressions.
The "Tian" agency's style of doing things is the opponent they least want to encounter. The opponent is very cautious. This kind of Japanese special agency will only move if it doesn't move. Once it opens its mouth, it will inevitably reveal the fangs of poisonous snakes.
“Old Huang, what are you thinking about?” Cheng Qianfan looked at Old Huang.
“The ‘Tian’ agency.” Lao Huang said, looking at Cheng Qianfan, “I was wondering, why is this secret service called the ‘Tian’ agency?”
“Yes, this code name is a bit strange.” Lu Dazhang also nodded.
Everyone was lost in thought.
In fact, several people had speculated and discussed the code name of the "Tian" agency when they first heard the name from Comrade "Abacus".
Japanese secret service agencies are customarily named after the surnames of their first or current chiefs:
For example, ‘Inoue’ mansion, ‘Iwai’ mansion, etc.
It’s just that the character ‘田’ is an authentic Chinese character and a Chinese surname, not a Japanese surname.
Or does the word "田" have any special meaning?
Several people had been discussing it for a long time but couldn't get their heads around it.
“The code name of a secret service agency cannot be without reason.” said Cardinal Zhao.
"Old Zhao is right, but we will examine this issue later." Cheng Qianfan frowned, "The main reason is that we don't know much about the 'Tian' agency at this stage."
Everyone nodded. Just as Comrade Huo Miao said, everyone knew too little about this mysterious "Tian" agency. In fact, if the "Tian" agency hadn't arranged for Qiu Xing to win over Shuli Zhao, everyone wouldn't even know there was such a person. The existence of Japanese special agencies.
Zhao Li picked up the thermos bottle and poured water for everyone.
"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan said, looking at Director Zhao, he smiled and asked, "It seems that Inspector Zhao has made some new discoveries."
When Shuli Zhao poured the water, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is really very observant, and nothing can fool your eyes." Shuli Zhao glanced at Comrade Huo Miao in surprise, and then joked with a smile.
“Please speak.” Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
"There is a new situation." Shuli Zhao did not sell out. He said in a serious voice, "Qiu Xing found me and asked me to help investigate the suspicious persons who have recently arrived in Shanghai in the past two months."
"The scope of the survey based on this requirement is too large." Cheng Qianfan was surprised, "Are there any other specific directions?"
“No.” Shuli Zhao shook his head.
"There's something weird." Old Huang took a sip of tea and said with a frown, "This means that the Tian Agency has no further information about the person they are looking for. This method of searching is almost equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack."
“Yeah, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack.” Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea and looked at Shuli Zhao, “What did Qiu Xing tell you? Is it a secret investigation? Or can you mobilize as many subordinates as possible?”
"Secret search." Shu Li Zhao said, "Qiu Xing has repeatedly stated that confidentiality is the top priority."
As he said that, he understood why Cheng Qianfan asked about this detail. His expression moved slightly and he fell into thinking.
“Looking for a needle in a haystack while paying special attention to confidentiality shows that there are not many solutions, and at the same time...” Lu Dazhang said.
“It also shows that the Japanese attach great importance to the person they are looking for!” Lao Huang added.
Cheng Qianfan put down his tea cup and looked at the three of them with a smile. He was very excited and felt like a strong soldier.
Whether it is Cheng Qianfan, Lu Dazhang, Zhao Shuli or Lao Huang, the four of them can be called the best agents of the Red Party's secret front in Shanghai. When the four of them spoke to each other, they made a 'major discovery'.
“Old Zhao.” Cheng Qianfan looked at Shu Li Zhao with a serious expression, “Find a way to figure out the Japanese’s intentions, and it’s best to find out the identity of the person they are looking for.”
“Leave it to me.” Shu Li Zhao nodded.
“Pay attention to safety.” Cheng Qianfan warned. Judging from Qiu Xing’s contact with Shuli Zhao, the ‘Tian’ agency’s behavior is very cautious, so be careful when dealing with this group of Japanese special agents.
“Don’t worry.” Shu Li Zhao said with a smile.
…
Cheng Min pulled up a chair and sat knitting in the corridor, looking around with vigilant eyes.
Seeing her husband coming, the couple exchanged a look: everything is normal.
Xiong Jiahua hurriedly came to the door and gently knocked on the door.
“Comrade ‘Harmonica’ called.” Xiong Jiahua walked in, turned around, closed the door, and reported softly.
Comrade ‘Xiangwu’ received the telegram and looked at it with a serious expression.
“Call back and tell the comrades in the special party branch that the information is very important. Thank you for their hard work. Everyone must protect yourself.” Comrade Xiangwu said with a thick Huai’an accent.
"yes!"
“Has the matter reported by Comrade An Wan been further implemented?” Comrade ‘Xiang Wu’ asked.
"Comrades from the Nanyang side are further verifying it. However, Comrade Pan Ming has mentioned before that Mr. Che from the Nanyang side asked about the situation of the New Fourth Army with concern and lamented the hardships of the officers and soldiers of the New Fourth Army." Xiong Jiahua said, "So, this amount origin of…"
"Why didn't you report it in time?" Comrade "Xiang Wu" pressed his temple. He had been working continuously for sixteen hours.
Comrade ‘Xiang Wu’ fell silent.
His eyes were instantly shrouded in sadness and grief.
“We have sacrificed too many comrades.” Comrade ‘Xiangwu’ said sadly.
"Inform the comrades in Nanyang to implement the information as soon as possible." Comrade "Xiangwu" said solemnly, he paused, "Tell comrades to protect yourselves!"
"yes!"
Comrade 'Xiang Wu' continued, "Telegraph this matter to Comrade 'Huo Miao' and ask him to try his best to verify it, act according to the situation, and be sure to protect this fund. Every penny must be used in the anti-Japanese work. We Red Party members We cannot let down the patriotic heart of overseas Chinese."
"yes!"
…
Zhang Ping returned to the hall with a serious expression and a bit of excitement.
“Secretary.” She handed the message to Cheng Qianfan.
Comrade Cheng Qianfan, Secretary of the Special Party Branch of the French Concession, received the telegram and looked down at it with joy on his face. He raised the telegram in his hand and said, "Comrades, Comrade Xiangwu called back -"
Amid the excited and expectant eyes of everyone, Cheng Qianfan said, "'Comrades of the special party branch, information is very important. Thank you for their hard work. Everyone must protect yourself'!"
Everyone’s hearts are surrounded by joy, excitement and warm emotions.
For the underground workers lurking inside the enemy, recognition and concern from their hometown is the happiest thing for them, not to mention that this is Comrade Xiangwu who everyone respects very much.
Cheng Qianfan pressed his hands to signal his comrades to be quiet.
He glanced at the telegram at the back and couldn't help but sigh, "It's the headquarters after all!"
Cheng Qianfan handed the message in his hand to Lao Huang, "A new situation, let's discuss it."
…
“First of all, we need to confirm whether the donation is indeed in the hands of the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce.” Councilor Zhao analyzed, “To be precise, we should focus on investigating the situation on Tan Pinggong’s side.”
“There is indeed something going on at the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce.” Cheng Qianfan said.
Shu Li Zhao looked at Cheng Qianfan in surprise.
The headquarters just called to inform you of the important information. Do you have any further feedback on the situation?
Lao Huang and Lu Dazhang also showed curiosity and surprise at the right time.
Zhang Ping frowned slightly and glanced at Cheng Qianfan.
"There are people from the patrol room within the military command." Cheng Qianfan said, "According to the intelligence coming out, the military commander is suddenly very interested in the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce."
He glanced at Shu Li Zhao and said in a deep voice, "I didn't know what the military commander's intention was before. I once speculated whether the military commander suspected that there were traitors in the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce and wanted to eradicate them. Now it seems that they should go there for the money. of."
…
Xiao Ou was walking on the road while munching sesame seed cakes. He lowered his head and pressed his peaked cap. From the corner of his eye, he could see the person following him in the distance behind him.
Are you from the detective brigade?
Or a Japanese special higher education course?
Or other secret service agencies?
Xiaoou cannot be sure.
He suddenly quickened his pace and turned into an alley.
Then he suddenly accelerated and ran, directly over the alley wall. After landing, he quickly climbed over a wall and entered another alley, making the sound of running wildly.
Here, the person following him ran into the alley, but there was no one in the alley.
I shined the flashlight and saw the climbing marks on the wall. The person following me quickly climbed over the wall to catch up.
The alley is still empty.
Then he checked the wall, and sure enough there were signs of climbing again.
The man thought of the running sound he heard before and quickly climbed up the wall again to catch up.
When the man's footsteps faded away, Xiao Ou rolled back from the wall, landed lightly on the ground, and quickly disappeared into the night.
After getting rid of the pursuer, Xiao Ou went to a mutton soup shop and drank a bowl of mutton soup. When he was paying the bill, he said something to his boss, and his face changed slightly.
Subsequently, Xiao Ou followed his boss to a room in the backyard.
Xiao Ou directly took out two small yellow croakers from his body and handed them to the owner, "Shopkeeper Tong, a ticket to Hong Kong, the sooner the better, this is the deposit."
Shopkeeper Tong picked up a small yellow croaker and weighed it, "Mr. Ou, it's hard to get a ticket now."
Xiao Ou glanced at Shopkeeper Tong coldly, "How much?"
"Ten big yellow croakers!" Shopkeeper Tong said with a smile, taking the other small yellow croaker from Xiao Ou's palm, making a sign of a cross with the two small yellow croakers.
A fierce look flashed across Xiao Ou's eyes, and then his expression quickly softened, as if he was hesitating and struggling. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Six large yellow croakers! I only have so many!"
Shopkeeper Tong stared at Xiao Ou and finally nodded, "Okay!"
