Chapter 1415 A newspaper, a sentence
Cheng Qianfan put out his cigarette, lay down on the sofa, put his feet on the beauty chair, covered himself with a blanket, closed his eyes and dozed off.
Comrade Zhu Lin's gentle, optimistic smile and determined eyes emerged in his mind.
When he first joined the Special Operations Group, Comrade Zhulin told him to remember a few words:
Never get sucked into believing you can do a perfect cover-up!
What is fake is fake, and what is covered up is covered up. It is impossible to be completely flawless. What we can do is to try our best to make up for the shortcomings and be prepared for a rainy day.
He secretly left the Lido Nightclub through the back door and went out to make a phone call; the time he took was not long, but not short either. Once they had targeted him and infiltrated him, the enemy might not be able to find evidence of his going out. However, it was indeed a period of time when he disappeared from sight, which in itself was a suspicious point.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan deliberately got drunk and poured wine for the obviously drunk dancer. As expected, the dancer vomited and the wine splashed all over him, causing dissatisfaction from "Mr. Cheng".
This led to the subsequent small conflict.
And this small conflict was what he left for the observer, or for Li Cuiqun.
When a person focuses on something that attracts attention, he or she will ignore other things to a certain extent.
This is a human instinctive reaction. Even the most cautious people will subconsciously fall into this "pre-set trap".
Li Cuiqun gave him a temporary special agent certificate, and at the same time, this certificate was just a decoration, used to help Chu Mingyu express his loyalty to Wang Tianhai, and for him it was just a gilding.
Under such circumstances, Cheng Qianfan still used both soft and hard methods to demand the right to enter and exit freely. This seemed reckless and inconsistent with the principle that agents needed to be cautious, but it was actually a decision he made after careful consideration.
He had previously repeatedly created the impression that he was feeling cramped in the Guest House, so now he was asking for the right to come and go freely. This was not abrupt, but rather in line with Mr. Cheng's style of doing things.
Later, he said that he was just moving around near the Guest House, which made Li Cuiqun satisfied.
Finally, he was concerned about Li Cuiqun's safety and reminded him to protect himself. At the same time, he subconsciously showed that he was still in fear of the assassination in Nanjing. To a certain extent, this also made Li Cuiqun think that he was holding back his pain, but he didn't dare to stay away.
fear death!
In this way, through a series of designs, he believed that he could minimize Li Cuiqun's attention and suspicion towards him.
Cheng Qianfan raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch.
At this moment, his movements stopped.
He recalled some details of Li Cuiqun's conversation with him.
Before leaving, Li Cuiqun looked at the time on his watch. It was getting late, so he said goodbye and left as he had official business to attend to. There was nothing wrong with this, as Li Cuiqun was responsible for Wang Tianhai's security and protection. The meeting would be held tomorrow, so he was naturally very busy.
The problem lies in the details before this.
While Li Cuiqun was talking to him, or to be more precise, when she picked up the teacup to drink tea, she glanced at her wrist out of the corner of her eye.
Cheng Qianfan immediately stood up from the sofa, held the teacup in his left hand, and glanced at his left wrist out of the corner of his eye.
As he picks up the teacup with his left hand, the sleeve of his shirt naturally pulls up, revealing the watch on his wrist.
Li Cuiqun glanced at his watch out of the corner of his eye. He was checking the time!
There is nothing wrong with this action itself, but Li Cuiqun could have looked at the time openly.
His covert action illustrates a problem:
Li Cuiqun was hiding his inner feelings and his anxious state of mind.
Cheng Qianfan didn't know why Li Cuiqun wanted to hide his eagerness. Maybe it was just out of the professional habit of an agent and he didn't want others to see through him.
What does this mean?
Cheng Qianfan continued to think along this line of thought. The vehicle from the secret service headquarters to pick up Li Cuiqun had been waiting outside the lobby on the first floor for a long time, which meant that Li Cuiqun did have work to do.
If it was a normal security inspection, Li Cuiqun would not be so anxious. This means that they will take action next. At the same time, what does Li Cuiqun's anxious psychology indicate?
Or was the next move a secret one? He subconsciously concealed this.
What kind of action would make Li Cuiqun take it so seriously?
In addition, Cheng Qianfan noticed that Li Cuiqun's relaxed attitude concealed his anxious mentality. No, this relaxed attitude was not an act, he was indeed relaxed.
Why do you feel so relaxed?
Is this going to be rewarding?
For Li Cuiqun, assuming he will gain something, then what will this gain be?
Military Control Commission Qingdao Station!
Cheng Qianfan suddenly stood up from the sofa, walked to the windowsill, looked at the pedestrians and scenery outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
According to the information he had, the Central Bureau of Investigation in Qingdao had long been destroyed by the Japanese and puppet forces in Qingdao. The strength of the Qingdao Red Party organization had been repeatedly raided by the Party Affairs Investigation Office before the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Red Army, resulting in huge losses. Even after the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Red Army, Chairman Shen, who was in charge of Shandong, was extremely hostile to the red party. The development of the Qingdao Red Party could be said to be difficult. It can be seen that the strength of the Qingdao Red Party was relatively weak.
Under such circumstances, the only entity that could pose the greatest threat to the "Big Three" meeting was the Qingdao Military Control Station.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan concluded that Dai Chunfeng in Chongqing would definitely issue an order to Qingdao Station to disrupt the "Big Three" meeting at all costs.
Then, the mystery was solved. The Qingdao Station of the Military Control Commission was planning an action against the "Big Three" meeting. Li Cuiqun was obviously well aware of this. Therefore, the main purpose of his trip was to destroy the Qingdao Station of the Military Control Commission.
In this way, the harvest that would make Li Cuiqun happy must have come from the encirclement and suppression of the Military Control Commission's Qingdao Station.
Li Cuiqun left in a hurry because the secret service headquarters had taken action, which could be guessed to be aimed at the Military Control Commission's Qingdao Station.
In other words, the Special Agent Headquarters is confident that it can launch a roundup of the Military Control Commission’s Qingdao Station.
What does this mean?
Li Cuiqun and others have already grasped the movements of the Military Control Commission's Qingdao Station, or at least have some valuable clues.
The Military Control Commission’s Qingdao Station is in danger!
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly, but his mind was rapidly turning over and thinking.
He thought again of the old newspaper on the coffee table in Chu Mingyu's room.
Just now he guessed that the newspaper was brought over by Li Cuiqun.
When he heard him praising the author of the article in Jimo Evening News that flattered the Japanese, Chu Mingyu, and said, "You can know a person's face but not his heart," Cheng Qianfan initially wondered who Chu Mingyu was talking about. Was it Li Cuiqun? Or Zhou Liang? Or was he talking about him, Cheng Qianfan?
Cheng Qianfan first reflected on himself. He thought that it shouldn’t be him. He was confident that he had hidden it deeply enough and Chu Mingyu should not have any doubts about him.
So, Zhou Liang? Li Cuiqun?
Now, Cheng Qianfan highly suspected that Chu Mingyu's words "You can know a person's face but not his heart" were referring to the author of the pro-Japanese article in the Jimo Daily!
Thinking of all these speculations, Cheng Qianfan's heart skipped a beat.
He made an assumption. Suppose that the author of the pro-Japanese article in Jimo Daily was a hidden agent of the Military Control Commission's Qingdao Station?
This Military Intelligence Bureau agent had already been discovered and targeted by the secret service headquarters.
The action of the Special Agent Headquarters was aimed at this Military Control Commission agent, whether it was to torture him after capturing him, to inquire about the personnel and secrets of the Military Control Commission Qingdao Station, or to keep an eye on him and follow the clues... In the end, the Military Control Commission Qingdao Station was wiped out!
In this way, everything can be explained!
Cheng Qianfan was extremely anxious, and he had some confidence in his speculation and guess.
He couldn't wait to contact Taozi, so he asked Taozi to call Zhou Ru in Shanghai, and then alert the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters in the name of the Special Intelligence Department.
However, after the anxious and irritable mood, Cheng Qianfan leaned dejectedly on the back of the sofa.
He knew that he could do nothing and could not do anything!
He had already been out this afternoon and there was no chance he would risk going out again.
No matter how anxious he is, he can only wait until tomorrow to find an opportunity to make plans!
Cheng Qianfan washed and dressed slowly like a robot and went to bed to rest.
Just at this time, Du Weiming, who shared the same room with him, came back. Seeing that Cheng Qianfan had already gone to bed, he quickly went to sleep on another bed.
Cheng Qianfan covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep. The quilt blocked out all the light, and everything became dark.
He closed his eyes, feeling no sleepiness, only endless darkness.
……
Qingdao Municipal Police Department, the interrogation room borrowed from the Special Agent Headquarters from the police department.
Li Cuiqun rushed in.
"Did you catch him?" Li Cuiqun asked Wang Tiemu anxiously.
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission." Wang Tiemu said with a smile on his face, and he finally relaxed.
Before that, he had been thinking hard, recalling his understanding of Ke Zhijiang, especially the details of his previous contact with Ke Zhijiang when he stopped in Qingdao, and finally he found a clue.
At that time, there was a copy of Jimo Evening News on Ke Zhijiang's desk. Wang Tiemu flipped through it casually and sneered at the pro-Japanese articles in the newspaper. He even bluntly said that the person who wrote the article should be killed.
Ke Zhijiang's reaction at that time was a little strange. He laughed and said, "We are just intimidated by the Japanese invaders' power and trying to make a living. There is no need to fight and kill."
Wang Tiemu just said that casually. After all, this was Qingdao Station’s business, and it would be difficult for him to get too involved.
Now recalling this detail carefully, he thought about it carefully and concluded that there was something wrong.
Based on his understanding of Ke Zhijiang, this man hated evil and especially hated traitors.
Isn't the person who wrote those pro-Japanese articles in Jimo Daily a die-hard traitor?
Given Ke Zhijiang's temper, he naturally hated this person to the core.
In addition, even if it was just to deal with Wang Tiemu, it was more reasonable for Ke Zhijiang to casually say "This man should be killed".
In this case, Ke Zhijiang's words in defense of this person are very problematic.
Wang Tiemu boldly speculated whether this traitorous intellectual (reporter) who advocated for the Japanese was a hidden agent of the Military Control Commission’s Qingdao Station?
Then everything makes sense.
He reported the matter to Li Cuiqun and also told him his own speculations.
Li Cuiqun agreed with this and immediately sent people to Jimo to arrest him.
……
"Tell me about this person's situation." Li Cuiqun said.
"Lin Zhaojie, editor of Jimo Daily, is a native of Jimo," said Wang Tiemu.
Li Cuiqun took a glance and saw that the man had whip marks all over his body and his head was drooping, obviously he had been tortured.
"Have you confessed?" he asked immediately.
"He confessed." Wang Tiemu said, "Lin Zhaojie is his real name. His real identity is a member of the Intelligence Department of the Qingdao Station of the Military Control Commission."
"Great." Li Cuiqun rubbed his hands excitedly. "Who is this person's superior? Does he have subordinates? How much does he know about the secrets of Qingdao Station?"
As he spoke, he handed a cigarette to Wang Tiemu.
Wang Tiemu took the cigarette, and his heart was completely relaxed. He knew that with this achievement, he had passed the test and saved his life. Not only did he save his life, but he also had the hope of regaining power in the future.
"Lin Zhaojie is a senior member of the Qingdao Station Intelligence Department." Wang Tiemu said, "He worked as a reporter for the Qingdao Today Newspaper during the Lixing Society Secret Service period. He has never revealed his identity. He is a high-level undercover agent prepared by the Qingdao Station for the fall of Qingdao."
"With such an identity, he must know a lot of things." Li Cuiqun asked happily.
"That's right. This person's nominal superior is Hu Zejun, the head of the Intelligence Department of Qingdao Station, but in fact he is directly led by Ke Zhijiang." Wang Tiemu said.
"Does this person know where Ke Zhijiang is?" Li Cuiqun asked happily.
"Ke Zhijiang is a cautious person and has not revealed his address to Lin Zhaojie." Wang Tiemu said, "However, if Lin Zhaojie has any problems, he can contact Ke Zhijiang."
……
"Tell me in detail." Li Cuiqun also lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said.
"When Lin Zhaojie needed to contact Ke Zhijiang, he would use the telephone booth to call the Youji Tobacco and Sundry Shop on Beiping Road, and Ke Zhijiang would then send someone to meet him later."
"Will it be Ke Zhijiang himself who meets him?" Li Cuiqun asked.
"Sometimes, but most of the time it's Ke Zhijiang who sends people to meet him," said Wang Tiemu.
Li Cuiqun took two steps forward and grabbed Lin Zhaojie's hair. "Let me ask you, if I ask you to call Youji Tobacco and Sundry Store and you say you have important intelligence to report, based on your understanding of Ke Zhijiang, do you think Ke Zhijiang will come to see you in person this time?"
"I, I don't know." Lin Zhaojie said weakly.
"Director Li." Wang Tiemu saw Li Cuiqun frowning, so he spoke, "He probably really doesn't know. From what I know about Ke Zhijiang, he is very cautious and secretive. And most importantly, I guess Ke Zhijiang's most important job now is to disrupt the meeting of the 'Big Three'. Even if Lin Zhaojie said he had important intelligence, he would not leave Qingdao and go to Jimo to meet Lin Zhaojie."
"Can we have Lin Zhaojie call Youji Tobacco and Grocery Store and report that he has important information about the Big Three meeting? Ke Zhijiang will definitely take the bait..." Hu Sishui rolled his eyes and said, "In this way, we can arrest Hu and Ke Zhijiang, and then we can wipe out the Qingdao station in one fell swoop."
"Absolutely not!"
"No!"
Wang Tiemu and Li Cuiqun said it almost at the same time.
