The operator of Special Branch adjusted the radio station to ground wave communication and called the Shanghai Central Bureau again. This time the other party responded quickly. The two parties finally established contact and started communicating immediately.

Ten minutes later, the howl of the police car came faintly from the distance. The chief drew his pistol and stood in front of the dormer window, gently lifted the quilt covering it, and looked outside with a vigilant look.

Several forces in Shanghai are fighting each other, but they have only one thing in common, that is, they hate the underground party to the core. Once the signal of the shortwave radio station is detected, they will definitely pursue it desperately.

"alright."

The operator suddenly whispered something, reached out and turned off the power, and then lowered his head to decipher the code. The information was only safe if it was recorded in the mind. It would be easy for the enemy to find the information if it was recorded on paper.

She compared the code book and quickly converted each secret code into Chinese characters. After deciphering them all, she checked them again. Then she lit the bottom of the message and put it into the brazier on the table.

"Chief, the reply from the Shanghai Central Bureau is that the two comrades returned from Red Russia not long ago and are not familiar with the situation between us and the enemy in Shanghai. They think that our early warning signals are not very reliable.

Therefore, we did not move as ordered and insisted on staying in the city to organize the student movement. We decided to wait for a reply from our own early warning channels. People from the Central Bureau have already dispatched personnel to verify the situation."

The operator was a little angry. As an old underground worker, she hated this kind of unorganized and undisciplined behavior. What does unreliability mean? Do you have to wait for a phone call from the enemy?

In lurking missions behind enemy lines, intelligence work plays a vital role. If everyone works in small cliques and small hills, blaming each other and distrusting each other, the party's secret intelligence activities will be dangerous.

"What?"

The chief was also surprised. He never thought that this was the reason why the people were arrested. The most valuable quality of underground party members is to obey orders. Those two comrades should understand this truth.

After thinking for a moment, he said with a serious face: "Notify the Central Bureau and suggest that they investigate themselves. The purpose of the spy is very clear, which proves that the other party knows the true identity of the arrested person.

Whether someone leaked intelligence or was infiltrated by enemies from within, this issue must be investigated first. Otherwise, there will be a second time, and the purity of the organization must be ensured.

In addition, we must also understand why the early warning channels are not effective. It is very abnormal that the intelligence network that has spent so much energy and money to establish has no response twice in a row.

After the communication ended, contact with them was temporarily suspended. Important personnel of the Special Branch immediately moved to report the situation here to the southwest, awaiting orders from superiors, and immediately entered a state of hibernation."

"yes."

The telegraph operator knew the seriousness of the matter and sent the telegram according to the order. After confirming that the Shanghai Central Bureau had received it, the two men cleaned up the house and finally left Gaolang Bridge separately.

At the same time, news of the arrest of important members of the underground party has spread in certain circles. Yu Hua, the president of the First Criminal Tribunal, also received relevant information from an old friend in the patrol room.

"This has nothing to do with our SAR court. You already said that the person was arrested from the urban area. Our approval is not needed. The underground party is lawless and should be properly controlled. Okay, see you later."

He finished speaking pretending to be relaxed and put the microphone back. His face was very ugly. He clearly went to the alarm officer. Why was someone still arrested? Did something happen to the alarm officer?

After getting up and walking around the living room, Yu Hua suddenly stopped and looked at the door. His eyes showed hesitation, but his eyes quickly became firm. He quickly walked to the clothes rack, put on his coat and walked out.

In this chaotic era, everyone is willing to contribute to the country and nation, including powerless intellectuals. Everyone with dignity and faith is a hero.

Yu Hua doesn't know whether he is a hero or not. He can be entrusted by others and be loyal to others. Since he has promised to the underground party, he cannot do it half-way. A gentleman's promise is taken lightly.

Walking in the howling cold wind, he wrapped himself in clothes, retracted his head into his collar, and walked against the flow of people on the crowded road. This was the only anti-tracking method he could think of.

After crossing four or five streets and confirming that there was nothing abnormal behind him, Yu Hua opened the door of a bar. As soon as he entered, a wave of heat rushed towards him and his ears were filled with noise.

He squeezed sideways to the bar, threw a bill to the bartender, took the phone, made a call, and then leaned against the bar and watched the crowd until the call was connected.

"Hey, it's me."

"Come out and have a drink."

"Good, same old place."

Yu Hua said a few words and then hung up the phone. The patrol room and the intelligence agency have been monitoring the phone calls. This is a well-known fact. Even using code words is not safe. It is better to talk face to face.

He ordered a glass of beer, found a dark corner, sipped it while thinking, and occasionally looked up towards the entrance. Within half an hour, a young man came and sat down.

"President Yu, did something happen?"

The young man asked in a low voice. After speaking, he looked around and quietly moved his chair to the wall so that he could face the crowd and the aisle, making sure not to leave too many blind spots for observation.

"Two people have been arrested." Yu Hua held up his wine glass and covered his mouth: "I heard that they are people from the Propaganda Department of the Central Bureau. They are male. They have a high status. Their cover identity is that they are school teachers. Do you recognize them?"

The young man glanced at him and closed his mouth tightly. If the other party was instigated by the enemy, any response would bring unpredictable risks to the organization, so silence was the best answer.

"After you left the court with the agents in the morning, I went to the alarm officer's house according to the address you gave me. No one was home, so I entered the house with the spare key and put the information in the secret compartment.

No one was following me in the middle, and everything at the alarm point was normal. You know what happened next. Is there something wrong with the alarm officer? Otherwise, the corresponding personnel should be temporarily transferred."

Yu Hua explained seriously that he did not want the other party to think that it was him who caused the arrest of the two people. They had cooperated for a long time and nothing like this had ever happened.

The young man nodded and said seriously: "President Yu, we have absolute trust in you. I will report this matter to my superiors. You go back to your residence first. I will contact you as soon as I have any news."

"Okay, my wife and children are going to grandma's house. You can come over at any time." Yu Hua drank the beer in one gulp, stood up and was about to leave. Before leaving, he hesitated and said, "Be careful."

"Thank you, it's okay."

The young man showed a bright smile, stood up and joined the crowd. After coming out of the back door of the bar, he quietly blended into the night. Time was very tight and he had to report the matter to the SAR Court as soon as possible.

What he just said was not to comfort Yu Hua. This pure patriot is trustworthy. The problem is likely to be their own, and the most suspicious person is the alarm officer.

The young man didn't know much about this person. He only knew that his name was Lao Gong and that he had worked in the Northeast. He came to Shanghai for treatment because of an injury, and the organizational relationship was transferred to the Shanghai Central Bureau.

In previous tasks, Lao Gong's performance cannot be said to be very good, but it is basically qualified. However, the speed of transmitting early warning information is a bit slow. The organization has criticized him many times, but the other party has turned a deaf ear.

Considering this person's contribution, the superiors focused on education and did not transfer him from his current position. Could it be that this guy did not send the early warning information away, which caused such a huge loss?

He had to figure this out before reporting. The young man walked faster towards the alarm point. It didn't take long for him to reach the street corner not far from his destination, silently observing the situation.

As a result, everything was normal, there were no suspicious persons nearby, and the curtains at the window of Lao Gong's residence were opened, which meant safety. Yu Hua was right, there was indeed no problem with the alarm point.

The young man waited for a few minutes, walked to the door in the darkness, raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response, so he knocked hard again, and finally a tired voice sounded inside.

"who?"

"My cousin."

"I'm coming."

The people in the house seemed to be a little panicked, knocking over a lot of things along the way. The crashing sound was very harsh in the quiet night, and then the sound of hurried footsteps got closer and closer.

"Crunch, come in."

A bearded man opened the door and waved. The young man frowned and looked through the crack in the door. When he saw the bearded man, Lao Gong's face looked normal, he ducked in and walked in.

"Why are you here? Is there any early warning information? Give me the information. I will report it immediately. If you ask me, I should install a phone to prevent you from reporting in the middle of the night. This is too dangerous."

Lao Gong stretched his head and looked at the street, then closed the door and muttered. He sounded very positive about the work and even put forward suggestions for improvements, but he smelled strongly of alcohol.

The young man didn't listen to these nonsense. He walked to the secret compartment in three steps and pulled it open. A piece of paper lay quietly there. When he saw this, his head exploded.

No wonder the superiors didn't receive the warning. It turned out that the bastard didn't pass it on. The young man turned around, grabbed Lao Gong's collar, and asked angrily: "This is the mission you have completed!"

"What?"

Lao Gong had a puzzled look on his face, but when he saw the note in the secret compartment, his face instantly turned pale. Oh no, he was so busy drinking that he forgot to check the secret compartment. How could such a coincidence happen?

He had only been out for less than twenty minutes. Who knew that the information would arrive at exactly this time? It seemed to be important information. Now he could no longer hide the things he had done in the Northeast.
