Chapter 929 Taking the initiative
"What?" Cheng Qianfan asked immediately after noticing the change in Hao Zai's expression.
"Brother Fan, when we drove into No. 76 Yard just now, a car drove out of the yard. When the car curtain was rolled up..." Haozi frowned, as if he was a little unsure, "There is someone in the back seat. , it looks familiar to me."
“Looks familiar?” Cheng Qianfan was perked up.
"Not necessarily, maybe I saw it wrong." Hao Zai scratched his head, "I just took a look."
Cheng Qianfan shook his head. It was unlikely that Hao Zai had misjudged the person.
What do they do?
The nature of their work determines that their eyesight is more precise than ordinary people, and their memory is also much stronger than ordinary people.
Furthermore, because of the special nature of their profession, people who look familiar to them are most likely to have the same special identity as them.
"Is it an acquaintance from Hangzhou or Shanghai?" Cheng Qianfan asked. Seeing Hao Zai frowning and thinking, he said, "Don't be impatient, think about it slowly. If you really can't remember it, don't think about it for now."
Sometimes, the more anxious you are to recall something, the more someone will fall into a dead end of thinking. Instead, it may be at a moment of relaxation, or inspired by something or someone, that you can recall it all at once.
Hao Zai obviously understood this and nodded.
…
“Brother Fan.” Hao Zai said.
"Well."
“Li Cuiqun is a very capable person, right?” Hao Zai asked.
“Li Cuiqun.” Cheng Qianfan didn’t seem to expect Hao Zai to ask this question. He pondered for a moment before continuing, “This person is very capable.”
Cheng Qianfan seemed to think that this evaluation was quite empty. Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said, "Haozi."
“Hey, Brother Fan.”
"You remember, this Li Cuiqun is very dangerous." Cheng Qianfan said with an extremely serious expression, "Not only Li Cuiqun, but also Ding Mutun, this is also a dangerous person."
“Brother Fan, I remember.” Hao Zai said.
“The Secret Service Headquarters.” Cheng Qianfan murmured. He had a hunch that the Secret Service Headquarters would definitely qualify for a place in the list of tough opponents he would face in the future.
Not only because Li Cuiqun and Ding Mutun both had dual backgrounds in the Kuomintang Party and the Red Party, and knew Chongqing and the Red Party very well, but also because they were both ambitious and capable people.
Just for today, Cheng Qianfan followed the instructions of the super high school section chief Sanbonjiro and visited Li Cuiqun under the pretense of asking about Mei Wuming's abduction and casualties. In fact, he was observing this person from the side. Side click message.
Cheng Qianfan had thought deeply before visiting Li Cuiqun:
He will take advantage of this opportunity to find a suitable entry point to eliminate Li Cuiqun's possible suspicion of him.
Yes, Cheng Qianfan judged that Li Cuiqun might be concerned about him, or even have some suspicions.
This is an intuition, and this intuition comes from the sensitivity and caution of a good agent -
Mei Wuming turned out to be Su Chende, deputy director of the Suhu District of the Central Unification Committee.
After this person takes refuge in the Secret Service Headquarters, he will not only give information about the Su-Shanghai District of the Central Government.
Cheng Qianfan was not sure whether the other party would tell Li Cuiqun everything about the Central Command's plan to seize the New Fourth Army's anti-Japanese donations.
In this case, Li Cuiqun will definitely notice what happened on Baier Road.
At that time, he ordered his men to patrol and arrest Su Chende. On the surface, he wanted to blackmail him, but in fact, he was covering the retreat of the comrades of the New Fourth Army.
If it were just this one thing, it might not arouse concern or suspicion.
There is another thing, that is, he helped Lao Mao and Fei Ming to maintain the reputation of the police station, and at the same time ordered Dong Zhengguo and his party to be disarmed and arrested.
Dong Zhengguo is now Li Cuiqun's man, so Li Cuiqun must have paid attention to and studied this matter for a long time.
On the surface, there was nothing serious about this matter. ‘Ms. Xiao Cheng’ was forced to take action when he was stopped by a patrolman on the road and asked for help.
One thing is nothing, but if two things coincide, it is no longer a coincidence in the eyes of the agents, especially the agent leaders like Li Cuiqun.
Putting yourself in Li Cuiqun’s shoes, Cheng Qianfan would definitely have doubts and concerns and secretly arrange for someone to investigate.
Imagine if she were targeted by a spy leader like Li Cuiqun, Cheng Qianfan shuddered just thinking about this possibility.
He must take action to eliminate this crisis. To this, Cheng Qianfan’s response was:
Take the initiative.
He wanted to give Li Cuiqun a reason, a very reasonable reason that could just explain these two coincidences.
The greedy and lustful ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ chose to make a fuss about ‘women’ this time.
…
“Brother Fan, I seem to have remembered it.” Hao Zai suddenly said.
Cheng Qianfan had a solemn expression and just looked at Hao Zai. He did not ask questions so as not to affect Hao Zai's thinking, but let Hao Zai think slowly.
"Brother Fan, you said that Li Cuiqun is very capable and very dangerous." Hao Zai continued, "I just remembered this sentence. Someone said something similar to me before."
Cheng Qianfan said ‘huh’ and signaled Haozi to continue thinking.
“When we were at Hangzhou Station, Captain He once sent his subordinates to keep an eye on a person,” Hao Tsai said.
‘He Qichen’, this name came to Cheng Qianfan’s mind. When he went to Xiongzhenlou in Hangzhou for training, he participated in the roundup of Kawada Yongji at the Maiyuqiao Pier and had an encounter with He Qichen.
At that time, this person was the captain of the action team of the Hangzhou Station of the Lixing Society's Secret Service, and he had a Baoding background. He could be regarded as a prince within the Lixing Society. At that time, Yu Ping'an had a bad relationship with this person, but he also compared him with Not much can be done.
“Who are you following?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
At this time, you can ask questions, but you need skills and purposeful questioning to guide Hao Zai's memories closer to the key information. Do not ask random questions, which will only disrupt Hao Zai's recall ideas.
“Zheng Sanyuan, director of the Hangzhou District of the Party Affairs Investigation Department,” Hao Zai said.
…
It’s this person!
Cheng Qianfan knew about this Zheng Sanyuan. To be precise, he learned about this person from the mouth of Comrade Fang Jinghua, the "charterer". This Zheng Sanyuan was Comrade Fang Jinghua's main opponent when he was engaged in underground work in Hangzhou. This person was very capable. Many comrades in Hangzhou died at the hands of Zheng Sanyuan's Party Affairs Investigation Department.
Cheng Qianfan did not rush to ask He Qichen why he arranged for Haozi to follow Zheng Sanyuan.
He also did not ask the Lixingshe Secret Service Hangzhou Station how it knew the whereabouts of the Hangzhou District Director of the Party Investigation Office. This was because the Party Investigation Office was not a secret agent department before the fall of Japan. They operated in the open and had a fixed office location.
This is also the reason why the central commanders are more likely to be exposed than the military commanders, and after being captured by the Japanese invaders, most of them were tortured but could not rebel. There are even jokes like Wu Shanyue's punishment of three whips. Many of them were even considered to be government employee.
In addition, it is important to know that for the Zhongtong (Party Affairs Investigation Division) and Juntong (Lixingshe Secret Service Division), the two sides know each other best, and it is not surprising to know some of the other's secrets.
In fact, the Red Party’s understanding of the Secret Service and the Party Investigation Division was not as thorough as the enemies’ understanding of each other.
“At that time, my subordinates and brothers were watching the newly opened road.” Hao Zai said, explaining, “The Hangzhou District Office Building of the Party Affairs Investigation Office was opening a new road.”
“One day, we monitored He Huan taking a person to Xinkai Road, and Zheng Sanyuan actually came out to greet the person in person.” Hao Tsai said.
He Huan?
Cheng Qianfan remembered this person. This person was the head of the Action Unit of Hangzhou District of the Party Affairs Investigation Department at the time, and was an absolute confidant of Zheng Sanyuan.
If Zheng Sanyuan was Comrade Fang Jinghua’s number one enemy when he was in Hangzhou, then He Huan was Zheng Sanyuan’s number one vicious dog. He was the number one executioner who hunted down and killed underground party comrades in Hangzhou.
…
“This person is the person you had a ‘fate’ with on the 76th today?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Yes." Hao Zai nodded, "The reason why my subordinate remembered it clearly is because he later reported the matter to the superior. The superior took it seriously and later found out the identity of this person."
“Do you know the identity of that person at that time?” Cheng Qianfan asked, with doubts in his tone.
At that time, Hao Zai was just an unknown member of the Hangzhou Station Action Team of the Lixingshe Secret Service. Even if the identity of this person was found, Hao Zai was not qualified to know.
"I don't know." Haozi said, "However, the reason why I remembered where I had seen this person is because I heard the brothers mentioned it later, saying that the person was a powerful figure in the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and he was very Capable and dangerous.”
“Is it very dangerous?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
“That’s what I said, and I don’t understand why.” Hao Zai said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded and did not dwell on this issue any further.
He thought for a moment.
Now, although we don’t know the name and specific identity of the person Hao Tsai met on the 76th, he is a figure with a certain status in the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and he once worked in Hangzhou or went to Hangzhou. He was on a business trip and was personally received by Zheng Sanyuan, the head of the Hangzhou District of the Party Affairs Investigation Office. By the way, it was He Huan who led this person to see Zheng Sanyuan.
“When did this happen?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
“March of the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China.” Hao Zai said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly. With this time point, it would be possible to find out who this person was.
The most important thing is that He Qichen of the Hangzhou Station Action Brigade of the Lixing Society Secret Service had investigated this person's background. He Qichen must have been impressed by this person.
The identity of this person can be known by asking He Qichen.
…
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan's heart moved.
This person should be a senior official of the Central Unification Committee now. He had experience in Hangzhou at that time. Could it be that this person also came to Shanghai from Hangzhou now...
Then he had contact with the Su-Shanghai District of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, so he was caught by the Secret Service Headquarters?
"Hao Zai, is that person under control, or..." Cheng Qianfan asked.
Hao Zai understood what Brother Fan meant. He thought about it and said, "I just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it. However, now that I think about it, it doesn't look like that person was tied or handcuffed."
Cheng Qianfan nodded with a gloomy expression. Yes, just as he had guessed, this person was arrested by the secret service headquarters and subsequently rebelled.
Zhongtong?
hehe.
Cheng Qianfan sneered, these people were so cruel and rampant when they hunted the Red Party, but now facing the Japanese aggressors, every one of them has become a piece of eggless stuff.
…
Xia Fei Road.
Huo Junyun got out of the car early when he was still two intersections away from his home.
Taking a bunch of fruits from the hands of Agent No. 76 Tang Wenlao, Huo Junyun lowered his head and found that it was not the bunch of fruits he bought before. To be precise, it was too heavy.
"The previous fruit was accidentally broken by the brothers because of their rudeness. Deputy Director Li asked me to buy new ones." Tang Kanlao explained.
"Thank you." Huo Junyun glanced at Tang Kanlao. Perhaps he had just come out of No. 76 Jisi Feier Road. Faced with Tang Kanlao's attentiveness, he felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
Carrying the fruits from Masanjiao Preserved Fruit Shop, Huo Junyun walked to the door of his house.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard the door creak and open.
"Junyun, where have you been?" Li Caihong looked at her husband in surprise and joy, then glanced outside with vigilance, pulled her husband into the house, closed the door and bolted it.
Huo Junyun walked to the table silently, put the bunch of fruits in his hand on the table, then turned around and hugged his wife tightly.
“Junyun, what’s wrong?” Li Caihong asked hurriedly.
Huo Junyun said nothing.
“Speak, Junyun, what happened?” Li Caihong was anxious.
"It's nothing." Huo Junyun then realized his gaffe, quickly wiped the corners of his eyes secretly, and said, "I just want to hug you."
“Is everything okay?” Li Caihong looked at her husband doubtfully.
"What can happen?" Huo Junyun said with a smile. He looked at the curtain in the back room. Where is the doll? "
“What’s more, I kept waiting and making a fuss about eating the fruit you bought. You never came back and cried. Then you fell asleep after eating.” Li Caihong glared at her husband angrily and said.
“I’m going to see the doll.” Huo Junyun said to his wife and went straight into the back room.
Li Caihong looked at her husband's back, thoughtfully.
…
“Junyun, have some tea and snacks.” Li Caihong poured tea for Huo Junyun and shouted.
“Here we come.” Huo Junyun came out of the back room, the corners of his eyes seemed moist and red.
Li Caihong chatted with her husband.
She had been observing secretly and noticed something strange in the corner of her husband's eyes. Thinking of her husband's previous abnormality, her heart skipped a beat.
“Junyun, where have you been? It’s been so long since you came back.” Li Caihong asked.
"Why are you asking this?" Huo Junyun squeezed out a smile, "I'm sleepy."
Seeing that her husband was avoiding the question, Li Caihong asked more insistently, "Junyun, tell me the truth, where have you been?"
Face Li Caihong’s constant ‘pressing’, Huo Junyun first said he went to the theater, and then said he met a friend and went to play mahjong.
Hearing that his husband said he was playing mahjong with his friends, Li Caihong became even more suspicious.
“Junyun, tell me honestly, where have you been?” Li Caihong asked affectionately, holding her husband’s hand.
Looking at his wife's gaze, Huo Junyun's eyes were a little evasive, and finally he sighed: "Rainbow, I'm sorry for you."
