Chapter 998 Who is the big fish?
“Tell me about it?” Cheng Qianfan picked up a magazine on his seat, flipped through it, and asked casually.
This is the magazine that Ying Huaizhen left in the car. It talks about the efficacy and application of cosmetics.
From lipstick, to the perfume you spray on your hair and body, to the colors you paint on your nails, there are no less than a dozen so-called cosmetic fragrances.
“Brother Fan, last night on the 76th, martial law was suddenly announced. No one was allowed in or out. It seemed like there was some big move.” Li Hao said, “However, the martial law was canceled later.”
On the Red Party side, Cheng Qianfan planned to arrange for Shu Li Zhao to infiltrate No. 76.
On the Juntong side, Cheng Qianfan arranged for Haozi to have more contacts with the agents of No. 76.
The purpose was not to pry out any confidential information. Cheng Qianfan told Haozi one sentence: make friends.
Become friends with some people on No. 76, and the information will naturally come to you.
The information obtained in this way is not a secret at all. It can be found out with a little effort. This seems to be of little use.
However, in the eyes of an intelligence master like Cheng Qianfan, there is no useless intelligence. What is needed is the eyes and sense of smell to discover its value.
Or to put it further, Cheng Qianfan arranged for Haozi to contact those people and collect gossip. What he wanted was the gossip immediately, and what he wanted was such a time difference:
Some information is not valuable because valuable time has passed, while some information may seem ordinary, but because it is obtained at the first time, it can yield unexpected gains.
Just like now—
According to what Haozi said, he made an appointment with a few friends for supper, and among them was an agent named Zhang Jiansheng from No. 76.
This person did not arrive for a long time. Later, he came belatedly and explained that there was a temporary martial law on the 76th. Unless the martial law was lifted, no one would be able to attend the banquet.
Hao Zi was personally taught by Cheng Qianfan. Now he can barely be called an excellent agent. It was unusual to catch the news immediately.
…
“Yes, great progress.” Cheng Qianfan praised Haozi, “My sense of smell is also very keen.”
Temporary martial law was imposed on the 76th, and later the martial law was lifted. This seemed to be nothing, as if nothing happened.
This is a small thing. If no one mentions it in a few days, it is almost impossible for Cheng Qianfan to notice it.
However, now that Cheng Qianfan had grasped the news immediately, his professional sensitivity and sense of smell prevented him from neglecting it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there must be something fishy in it.
"Tell me what you think?" Cheng Qianfan put the magazine away and put it in his briefcase. This magazine should not be left in the car. If Ruolan found it, he would be 'jealous' again.
“It is normal for a unit like No. 76 to take action at any time, but it is relatively rare to require all personnel to enter and exit,” Li Hao said.
He glanced at the rearview mirror and continued under Brother Fan's approving gaze, "Generally, the order of no entry and no exit is issued before a particularly large operation."
“That’s a good analysis.” Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, “What you’re not sure about is why martial law was canceled on the 76th?”
"Yes, Brother Fan." Li Hao nodded, "I'm not sure whether there was a big operation planned internally on No. 76, but later the intelligence error was discovered, so the operation was canceled."
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and nodded, "Your guess is also possible."
As he spoke, he held a cigarette between his fingers, and his expression became serious and serious, "I will now tell you how I view this news."
“Yes, Brother Fan.” Li Hao knew that Brother Fan was giving him a lesson.
"In my opinion, there is no need to worry about whether No. 76 canceled a big operation because of incorrect intelligence, or whether they originally planned a big operation, but due to some reasons, or even a new conspiracy, they canceled it. Give up this operation for now." Cheng Qianfan said.
He flicked the ashes into the ashtray, "The most valuable information I can see is -"
He said in a deep voice, "What kind of information, or what kind of important target is it, actually makes No. 76 all under martial law, no one allowed in or out!"
Yes, this is the key message he saw from this seemingly insignificant message!
If No. 76 locked the target, but temporarily abandoned the operation due to some other reasons or a larger conspiracy, then this is also consistent with his understanding that the target targeted by the enemy is extremely important.
Even if No. 76 had no choice but to give up this big operation due to wrong intelligence, this in itself also shows that No. 76 has set his sights on a certain big fish!
Is this an intelligence error?
But what about next time?
Being able to get No. 76 to issue a pre-operation martial law order of ‘no entry, no exit’, this in itself shows that they are at least very close to this goal!
So, here comes the problem.
The goal of this time on the 76th, or to put it further -
Who is this big fish that they have come very close to?
…
Zhongtong?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, it was unlikely.
However, it is not entirely impossible. The Suhu District of the Central Unification was almost completely destroyed following Su Chende’s surrender and treason. However, Xu Zhaolin, the head of the Suhu District, is still at large. This is a big fish.
However, even if traces of Xu Zhaolin are discovered, it is enough to capture Xu Zhaolin and directly send a capable force. There is no need to mobilize the entire No. 76 army, right?
Red Party?
Cheng Qianfan frowned. To be able to make No. 76 so aggressive, is this at least the target of the middle and high-level municipal committee, or is it an important unit targeted by the enemy?
Shanghai special situation team?
Cheng Qianfan became alert. Although he did not think that the people in Dingmu Tun and Li Cuiqun had caught the tail of the special situation team now, it was better to be careful and never underestimate your opponents and enemies!
“Haozi, have you all been honest recently?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
Under his strong hand, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group is stronger than those in Shanghai District in terms of combat capability and military discipline.
However, to be honest, the organizational discipline of this group of people is far from comparable to that of comrades within the party.
Especially for grassroots and peripheral members, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no desertion.
This is also the most fundamental reason why "Xiao Mian" has always kept a distance from the grassroots members of the Shanghai Special Situation Group.
“There should be nothing wrong.” Li Hao understood what Brother Fan meant, thought about it and said.
"Check yourself." Cheng Qianfan said with a solemn expression, "See if there are any brothers who cannot be contacted, or brothers whose whereabouts have not been confirmed by anyone else for more than half a day."
“Understood.” Li Hao nodded.
Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and added, "Tell Taozi, if you find any problem, take it down immediately. If there is resistance, kill without mercy!"
"yes!"
…
Cheng Qianfan put out his cigarette **** in the ashtray.
Although he was very vigilant, he immediately arranged for an internal self-examination of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Unit.
However, Cheng Qianfan is still relatively confident in the special situation team.
Judging from the "Martial Law" news on the 76th, their target has a very good background. If the special situation group is targeted, it will at least be important figures in the special situation group such as Hao Zai, Little Taoist, and Taozi.
If the enemy really touched the sides of Taozi, Haozi and others, and Cheng Qianfan didn't know it, then he would really be "deserving of death"!
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan judged that the possibility of problems on the special situation team's side was still relatively small.
So, where is it in Shanghai District?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head subconsciously.
Although after the rebellion of Ruan Zhiyuan, the arrest of Zheng Weilong, the major damage to the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service, and the turmoil caused by the later rebellion of Lu Fei, there was a power struggle between Wang Tiemu and Zheng Lijun, which caused a lot of chaos within the Shanghai Station.
However, now that through Dai Chunfeng's strong management, Zheng Lijun's position as district chief of Shanghai District has been confirmed and consolidated. Qi Wu's sixth brother Li Wanmao has been transferred to Shanghai as the inspector general, and Dai Chunfeng like Che Luwang will enrich the Shanghai District in the future. , and special discipline reshaping (cleansing) has been carried out within the Shanghai District. It can be said that the current Shanghai District has not only got rid of the turmoil, but also has high morale and strong troops.
Shanghai District is not likely to have problems.
Cheng Qianfan frowned. Who is No. 76’s target this time?
He tends to think that the enemy is coming for the Red Party.
At this time, Cheng Qianfan thought of the ‘charterer’ who had evacuated Shanghai before, and his heart skipped a beat:
Comrade Fang Jinghua, something happened during the evacuation?
Even—rebellion?
Cheng Qianfan was startled by his guess, and then he shook his head, rejecting this possibility immediately.
First of all, he believed in Comrade Fang Jinghua’s party spirit and his infinite loyalty to the party and the people.
I believe in Fang Jinghua out of recognition and trust in my comrade.
However, in the cruel struggle experience and situation, reason must always prevail over emotion.
There needs to be more clear and objective analysis, judgment, and examples.
The most important reason why Cheng Qianfan judged that Fang Jinghua had no problem was—
If something goes wrong with Comrade "Charterer", then he, Lao Huang, and Lu Dazhang would have already gathered in the torture room.
'Chenzhou', the real 'Yuchang', and the Teko 'Flying Fish' whose code name has never been revealed. Any one of these three Red Party Teko aces is an 'incredible' big fish, let alone three. , he didn't think the enemy would resist the temptation and not take action against him.
Hence, the possibility of something happening to Comrade Fang Jinghua is ruled out.
If something did not happen to Comrade Fang Jinghua during the evacuation, then was it an important leader of the Shanghai local party organization of the Red Party or an important unit that was targeted by the enemy?
Haozi glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Brother Fan still frowning in thought. He asked, "Brother Fan? Where are you going? Patrol room?"
"Go to the patrol room." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said in a deep voice. As he said this, his heart moved, "When you get to the patrol room, inform the patrols."
As he spoke, he looked at the time on his watch, "There will be a meeting at nine-three!"
“Understood.” Li Hao nodded.
Since he doesn’t know where the claws of No. 76 will extend, he will remain unchanged in response to all changes.
