Chapter 1697 Peeling off the cocoon
A car was parked outside the Minsheng Hotel.
Yano Fuji shook hands with Cheng Qianfan who was waiting at the door, and the two walked in while talking.
"Who is this person?" Lou Kang asked, hiding in the second-floor window across the street and putting down the telescope.
"Team leader, I know this person." One of the subordinates said, "This is Mr. Yano from the Military Police."
"Japanese..." Lou Kang shook his head.
I thought I had caught Cheng Qianfan having a secret meeting with someone, but I didn't expect a Japanese to show up.
"Captain, this Japanese has come to Minsheng Hotel several times, and each time he stays for more than an hour." said the subordinate.
Lou Kang nodded without comment. Not to mention that Cheng Qianfan had dealings with the Japanese, which in itself was not something to be suspicious of, even if the other party was from the gendarmerie, they did not dare to investigate too much. In case they found out something they shouldn't know, they would get into trouble for no reason.
……
"Liao Liming, what does this person do?" Cheng Qianfan asked after listening to Yano Fuji's report.
"He's from the General Affairs Office of Nanjing City Hall. He's a drinking buddy of Hang Kaiqing's." Yano Fuji said, "After investigation, it was from this person that Hang Kaiqing learned that the file was in the archives room."
"Is there something wrong with Liao Liming? How did he know that the file was in the archives room?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Liao Limin's sister-in-law works in the archives room." Yano Fuji said, "After preliminary investigation, Liao Limin should be fine. The special agent headquarters should have screened Liao Limin, and there seems to be no problem with this person at the moment."
He said to Cheng Qianfan, "I initially suspected that Hang Kaiqing usually paid close attention to the situation in the archives room. He deliberately approached Liao Limin with the intention of obtaining intelligence through Liao Limin."
"Logically speaking, this is possible." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said.
"In addition, I have also learned some information about this confidential document." Yano Fuji said.
Cheng Qianfan pretended to listen.
……
"Very strange." Yano Fuji said, "I learned some information from Oda Yuuma. This document is likely related to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology."
"The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised. "That's strange. What important document does the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology have that is worth going through so much trouble and setting a trap with it?"
When Yano Fuji mentioned the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Cheng Qianfan subconsciously thought of the person named 'Oizumi Takaya'.
"I don't understand this either." Yano Fuji shook his head, "This is the information I got."
"If you can't figure it out, just ignore it for now." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "Since this document is very confidential, too much inquiry may cause trouble. Our goal is to investigate Red International."
Yano Fuji nodded, feeling relieved.
If Miyazaki showed interest in confidential documents, it would make him embarrassed and puzzled.
Fortunately, Miyazaki knows his limits.
……
"Why does Su Chende insist that Hang Kaiqing is a member of the Red Party? Have you found out anything about this matter?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"This is also very strange." Yano Fuji said, "Su Chende's attitude is very firm. He personally confirmed Hang Kaiqing's Red Party identity. There are no other extra clues."
"Could it be that Su Chende knows Hang Kaiqing?" Cheng Qianfan pondered and said, "Su Chende used to be a member of the Red Party. It is possible that he ran into an old acquaintance."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan's eyes lit up.
"Have you thought of anything, Mr. Miyazaki?" Yano Fuji asked immediately.
"As far as I know, Su Chende used to have a high position in the Red Party and even went to Moscow to study." Cheng Qianfan said, "I don't need to say much about the relationship between the Red International and Moscow."
"Mr. Miyazaki means that this Hang Kaiqing is also a member of the Red Party International?" Yano Fuji immediately understood what Miyazaki Kentaro meant.
"He may not necessarily be a member of Red International, but we cannot rule out the possibility that Hang Kaiqing has some connection with Red International." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
"So, our investigation direction is correct." Yano Fuji said happily, "It seems that Tanaka Yuichi may also be related to Hang Kaiqing."
"It's too early to draw this conclusion now, but this is indeed a possible investigation," Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
……
"In this case, it is necessary to secretly investigate the case of Yang Pengze." Yano Fuji said thoughtfully.
"Yang Pengze?" Cheng Qianfan asked, "What's this person like? I haven't heard you mention him before."
"Yang Pengze is the deputy section chief of the Second Section of the Third Division of the Civil Affairs Department of the Legislative Yuan. He has been secretly arrested at No. 21 Yihe Road." Yano Fuji said, "According to Oda Yuuma, this person was arrested because of the case of Hang Kaiqing. Su Chende believes that this person is a member of the Red Party."
"Since it is related to the Hang Kaiqing case, let's investigate it in depth." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, leave it to me." Yano Fuji nodded, "I'll contact Oda Yuuma later."
"Is Oda Yuuma reliable?" Cheng Qianfan suddenly asked.
"Oda Yuuma is my fellow countryman, you can trust him." Yano Fuji realized Miyasaki Kentaro's concerns and said immediately.
"That's good." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
……
"Miyazaki-kun, has Shirakawa-kun made any progress in investigating the defection of Yasui Yuki?" asked Yano Fuji.
"Progress is slow." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "However, I heard from Shirakawa-kun that they arrested a soldier who is from the same hometown as An Jing Youhui and seems to know something about An Jing Youhui's defection."
He glanced at Yano Fuji and said, "It is not convenient for us to interfere too much in the case of Yasui Yuki. The focus now is still on Hang Kaiqing and Yang Pengze, who you just mentioned."
"Okay." Yano Fuji nodded. "And there's Dai Chengbi. I've learned about him through Oda Yuuma. After Dai Chengbi surrendered, he confessed some things. Based on the clues he provided, we arrested more than a dozen people at No. 21 Yihe Road, and four of them were later confirmed to be members of the Red Party."
"Currently, some of these dozen people have been executed." Yano Fuji said, "From what I learned from Oda Yuuma, Dai Chengbi's usefulness is not great anymore. He has already said everything he knows."
……
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Yano Fuji asked in confusion.
"If Dai Chengbi is no longer useful," Cheng Qianfan said, "if you were Su Chende, would you go to so much trouble to arrange for him to stay in a high-end hotel like Minsheng Hotel? And even send a team to protect him?"
"I understand what Miyasaki-kun means." Yano Fuji said, "So, this Dai Chengbi is still valuable, and may even hold some important secrets."
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "This is exactly why the Red Party sent people to kill him, and even used people like Tanaka Yuichi who are suspected to be members of the Red International."
"I understand. I will continue to dig deeper into the secrets of Dai Chengbi." Yano Fuji nodded.
"Hang Kaiqing, Yang Pengze, and Dai Chengbi." Cheng Qianfan muttered to himself, "Is there any unknown connection between these three people? What is the relationship between them?"
Yano Fuji nodded slightly. He needed to investigate and confirm Miyazaki-kun's suspicion.
"Team leader, Yano is out." When the subordinates saw Cheng Qianfan sending Yano Fuji out, they hurriedly reminded Lou Kang.
Lou Kang stared at Yano Fuji as he got into the car and left, remaining silent.
"Team Leader, do you want to..."
"What do you want?" Lou Kang glared at his men, "Send someone to follow the military police? How many heads do you have?"
……
Two days later.
Hualin Garden.
Cheng Qianfan put down the newspaper in his hand, lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.
The newspaper reported that the Japanese army had launched a massive attack on the Fifth War Zone from Xinyang and Wuhan, and the battle to conquer northwestern Hubei had already begun.
This also confirmed that the information he had previously obtained from Ping Chongyangyi was correct.
Standing at the window and looking at the sky outside, Cheng Qianfan felt heavy-hearted. He hoped that on the premise of having obtained relatively accurate intelligence in advance, the Fifth War Zone would be able to successfully block the Japanese invasion and achieve its strategic goal of breaking through the Yichang channel in western Hubei.
……
Bao Rengui put down the newspaper, his expression was also solemn.
The 11th Army of the Japanese Army launched a large-scale invasion of northwestern Hubei. Once the Japanese Army opened up the Yichang passage in western Hubei and then threatened Chongqing, it would be hard to say whether the Chongqing government would waver in its determination to resist the Japanese Army in the face of its power.
Once Chongqing wavers, the situation of the whole nation's united resistance to the war will be broken, and the situation of the war of resistance will become unprecedentedly difficult.
"Director, this person went to Youji Noodle House in the morning, had a bowl of noodles, bought a newspaper and went back to the hotel. Since then, there has been no movement." Yuan Yang reported to Xue Yanlin.
"It seems that the noodles at Youji Noodle House are not inedible." Xue Yanlin said with a sneer.
There is something wrong with a single man who stays in a hostel all day long, and rarely goes out except to eat noodles and buy newspapers during the day.
Not to mention that this person goes to a noodle shop outside Yangjiang Hotel, fifteen miles away, every evening to eat a bowl of noodles.
It was at this time that Gao Rui came back.
……
"Director, I'm back." Gao Rui said.
"What did you find out?" Xue Yanlin asked immediately.
After spotting this person, he arranged for his men to investigate this person thoroughly.
In Nanjing, as long as No. 21 Yihe Road sets its sights on someone, that person will have nowhere to hide.
"Director, this person appeared in Nanjing about a week ago." Gao Rui said, "Before he stayed at the Conference Hotel, my subordinates found out that he lived at Beimen Bridge."
"Beimen Bridge?" Xue Yanlin asked.
"Yes, I found the landlord of the house he lived in at the time. The landlord said that the man's name was Yu Lang. He paid for half a month's rent, but suddenly said he didn't want to stay after only one day. The landlord deducted three days' rent from Yu Lang."
"He paid for half a month's rent, but he would rather be deducted than move out..." Xue Yanlin pondered, "This person moved out suddenly, something must have happened."
Suddenly, Xue Yanlin's mind moved, and he asked, "After this person rented a house in Beimen Bridge, did he go out? Where did he go and what did he do? Did anyone visit Yu Lang during that day?"
Gao Rui was stunned and hesitant, not knowing how to answer, because he had not asked about these things.
"Useless." Xue Yanlin cursed, "Go check it out immediately."
"Yes!"
……
Two days later.
Just when Yu Lang had noodles at Wu Zhenxing Noodle House and left, returning to the conference hotel.
Gao Rui also reported what he had learned to Xue Yanlin.
"Director, you are right." Gao Rui said with admiration, "On the night that Yu Lang rented the house in Beimen Bridge, someone did knock on the door to visit."
"What does this person look like?" Xue Yanlin asked immediately.
"It was already late at night, and the man was wearing a hat and a windbreaker with the collar turned up. The neighbors who noticed him just glanced at him and didn't see his appearance clearly," said Gao Rui.
"This man came to Nanjing to contact someone. He made the contact on the same day. He was very cautious. He was not confident about his contact, so he changed his residence immediately." Xue Yanlin said immediately.
If he had only suspected that there was something wrong with this person before, now Xue Yanlin could be 100% sure that there was definitely something wrong with this person. He just didn't know whether this person was from the Red Party or from Chongqing.
……
"Also, didn't the director ask me to check whether this person went out on the day he rented the house? I found out." Gao Rui said, "This person went to the Jinling Evening News newspaper office that day."
"What is he doing at the Jinling Evening News?" Xue Yanlin asked immediately.
"I took people to the Jinling Evening News to investigate. The people at the newspaper were reluctant to talk at first, but they only started to talk after I showed them my ID." As he spoke, Gao Rui took out a folded newspaper from his pocket and handed it to Xue Yanlin.
"Director, this person bought a missing person advertisement in the newspaper, saying that he came to Nanjing to look for someone." Gao Rui said.
Xue Yanlin took the newspaper and, as Gao Rui had pointed out, turned to the middle of the missing person advertisement.
"Xing Yan from Zhenze went to look for his third uncle Bai Zhanyang in Pingjiaqiao, Zhabei. He had a slight stutter but was somewhat literate and used to make a living by writing letters for others." Xue Yanlin read softly.
No matter how cunning the enemy is, after he has unearthed the truth, there is no place for him to hide!
A smug smile appeared on Xue Yanlin's face.
"It can be confirmed that this person sent out a signal through this missing person advertisement, got in touch with the contact person, and then met him. After the meeting, this person immediately changed his residence out of caution." Xue Yanlin said.
……
"Director, do you think this person is from the Red Party or from Chongqing?" Gao Rui asked.
"It's hard to say." Xue Yanlin shook his head. "No matter what side he comes from, keep a close eye on him. Since he has chosen to stay in Nanjing, he will definitely meet his contact again. Then we can catch him in the trap."
"Yes."
"We are also keeping an eye on Wu Zhenxing's noodle shop." Xue Yanlin said, "Yu Lang goes to Wu Zhenxing's noodle shop for dinner every day. There must be a reason. It is not ruled out that it is also one of his contact points."
"My subordinate understands."
……
Bao Rengui stood at the window, ready to draw down the curtains.
Just at this moment, his eyes narrowed.
He saw a rickshaw driver sitting on the pole and eating a pancake under the street light downstairs.
He immediately remembered that he had seen this rickshaw driver near Wu Zhenxing's noodle restaurant.
To be exact, I have met him twice.
There seemed to be nothing wrong with a rickshaw driver from fifteen li away appearing in Gucheng Lane. After all, rickshaw drivers would travel everywhere as long as there was business.
However, as an old Bolshevik, Bao Rengui immediately realized that something was wrong.
……
He calmly drew the curtains, turned off the lights, then tiptoed to the window, gently lifted a corner of the curtains, and stared at the rickshaw driver.
About a quarter of an hour later, a man in a suit walked up to the rickshaw driver. The two men whispered something, then the man walked away. The rickshaw driver patted his butt and drove away with his empty rickshaw.
problem occurs!
Bao Rengui immediately realized that he was being targeted by the enemy.
He tiptoed back to the bed, found a flashlight, and then opened the suitcase, looking for any receipts that could indicate where he came from and any items that could provide clues for the enemy.
Then he picked up the washbasin and put these things into it. He then took out the oil lamp that the hotel had specially prepared to deal with power outages, poured the kerosene in the lamp into the washbasin, and struck a match and threw it in.
Suddenly, with the help of kerosene, the washbasin quickly caught fire.
……
"Director, I asked Yuan Yang to go away." Gao Rui returned to Xue Yanlin and reported.
Xue Yanlin nodded.
He just saw Yuan Yang eating a pancake under the street light from the window, and he immediately felt something was wrong. Yuan Yang had appeared in Wu Zhenxing's noodle house before, and there was no guarantee that Yu Lang would recognize him. Judging from the fact that Yu Lang decisively changed his residence, he was a very vigilant person, and if he was not careful, he would alarm him.
At this time, Gao Rui suddenly pointed to the third floor of the conference hotel and whispered, "Director, look quickly."
