"What makes you so happy?" Bai Ruolan put the sleeping little Zhizhi in the crib and asked.
After her husband came back from outside tonight, even though she concealed it well in front of outsiders, Bai Ruolan could still feel her husband's joy from the bottom of her heart as she knew her husband better than her wife.
"An old friend came back from Manchuria and brought gifts." Cheng Qianfan said.
"A piece of old wild ginseng will make you happy." Bai Ruolan said with a smile.
"It's good to have a friend come from afar and still think about you." Cheng Qianfan hugged his wife, and their heads were pressed tightly together.
"Um."
"You should rest first. I'm going to the study. I have some official business to deal with."
"Yes." Bai Ruolan stood up, took a coat and put it on Cheng Qianfan, "You should also come over and rest early."
"Okay, I'll come back and sleep when I'm done."
…
Cheng Qianfan was lying on the sofa bed in the study room. There were already several cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table next to him.
He had a cigarette in his mouth and was thinking with his eyes closed.
The organization knew very little about the enemy's "Octopus" plan, so Comrade Peng Yuou could not provide him with many clues.
Even the existence of the ‘Octopus’ plan cannot be confirmed at present.
The only clue is that the comrade who died was lurking within the Wang Puppet regime in Nanjing, and he was discovered by the Nanjing District of the secret service headquarters.
Two clues that are not necessarily exact can be deduced from this matter:
The ‘Octopus’ plan should be related to the Wang and Puppet regime in Nanjing, or at least it is a plan jointly formulated by the Japanese and the Wang Puppet.
In addition, this comrade died in the hands of the Nanjing District Secret Service Headquarters, which shows that the Secret Service Headquarters may be involved in this plan.
This comrade who died was a sleeper agent placed within the enemy by Comrade Peng Yuou.
Comrade Peng Yu'ou knew the sacrificed comrade very well and spoke highly of him. Therefore, Comrade Peng Yu'ou believed that Comrade Hang Kaiqing did not hesitate to expose himself and sacrifice himself, but also tried to get access to intelligence. This in itself
This is enough to illustrate the importance of this information.
In other words, Comrade Hang Kaiqing may have even been psychologically prepared for the possibility that he might be exposed. He sacrificed himself to warn the organization.
Therefore, Comrade Peng and Ou's plan to lean towards the enemy's "Octopus" definitely exists.
However, after all, this is just a judgment made by Comrades Peng and Ou based on their understanding and trust of Comrade Hang Kaiqing. There is no evidence to support this.
…
The matter was of great importance. After getting in touch with Comrade "Farmer", Comrade Peng Yuou handed over this arduous and confusing task to the special party branch of the French Concession.
To be precise, this idea can be said to have been given directly to him, to 'Comrade Huo Miao'.
Organizationally, Comrade Liu Wuliu, who was lurking in the Secret Service Headquarters, died and committed suicide before being captured by the enemy. This made the Secret Service Headquarters certain that there were other underground parties within it, and now the enemy was secretly investigating within it.
Therefore, when the 'Octopus' plan was suspected of being a trap by the enemy, Cheng Qianfan believed that Comrade Zhao Li was no longer suitable to take action on this matter.
In other words, if you want to find out the truth about the 'Octopus' plan, it is already quite dangerous to start from the secret service headquarters under the current situation.
For him, he has a "special status" within the Wang Puppet regime, and the possibility of enemies being suspicious of him is relatively low.
In addition, and most importantly, he also had channels to obtain intelligence from the Japanese.
Therefore, he was considered by Peng Yuou to be the best person to investigate the matter secretly.
‘Octopus’ plan.
‘Octopus’… Cheng Qianfan frowned, feeling that he had no clue.
…
It rained in the early morning, and the sky cleared up unexpectedly at dawn.
No. 76, Jisfield Road.
The secret service headquarters was already busy in the morning.
Cao Yu stood at the window and looked out. His office was close to the torture room, and he could even vaguely hear screams coming from the direction of the torture room.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Duan Wuyang opened the door cautiously and came in, "Team Leader Cao, are you looking for me?"
"Brother Duan is here." Cao Yu smiled and nodded slightly, "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Seeing Cao Yu's smile and gentle attitude, Duan Wuyang breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around, closed the door, and sat on the chair opposite Cao Yu.
Looking at Cao Yu across from him, he felt a little uneasy. This face-to-face conversation reminded him of the days when he was interrogated after being arrested.
…
"Team Leader Cao, if you have anything to do, just ask me." Duan Wuyang took out his cigarette case, offered a cigarette to Cao Yu, and said.
"Sit down and talk." Cao Yu took the cigarette, but did not light it, but casually placed it on the desk.
…
"That's it." Cao Yu looked at Duan Wuyang and said, "I heard that Brother Duan was the traffic officer of Luo Yannian, the important bandit leader of the Shanghai Red Party?"
"No, no, no." Duan Wuyang waved his hand and said quickly, "I am not Luo Yannian's traffic officer, but I have met Luo Yannian."
"Brother Duan, don't be nervous, you are one of our own now." Cao Yu picked up Duan Wuyangjing's cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it with a match, and took a puff, "I'm just looking for Brother Duan.
Learn something about the Red Party Luo Yannian."
"Yes, yes." Duan Wuyang nodded, and he asked carefully, "Team Leader Cao, is there any news about Luo Yannian? Has he sneaked back to Shanghai?"
Cao Yu looked at Duan Wuyang with a smile and did not answer his question.
Duan Wuyang became a little nervous again and smiled, "I'm the one talking too much, I shouldn't ask."
…
Duan Wuyang truthfully told Cao Yu what he knew about Luo Yannian.
"Luo Yannian is a long-standing red bandit. He is an old and cunning opponent. If you want to catch Luo Yannian, it will be very difficult to start with him." Cao Yu frowned slightly, "We can try to start with the people around him.
"
He looked at Duan Wuyang, "Brother Duan, how much do you know about Luo Yannian's traffic officer situation?"
"Team Leader Cao, I have only met Luo Yannian and have not worked beside him. I really don't know much about his traffic officers." Duan Wuyang said with a wry smile.
"Think carefully and see if you can remember anything?" Cao Yu flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and the smile on his face had faded a little.
…
Duan Wuyang saw Cao Yu's change in attitude, his face was full of bitterness, and he was thinking.
"Team Leader Cao..."
"Okay." Cao Yu glanced at Duan Wuyang, "You don't understand the living ones, but you should understand the situation of Luo Yannian's dead traffic officers. Even if you don't understand deeply, when you were with the Red Party
You must have heard of something."
"Those people are already dead." Duan Wuyang looked puzzled, "What's the use of checking the dead..."
"Who told you that checking the dead is useless?" Cao Yu snorted coldly, "The living can run, hide, and lie. The dead are the most honest. The dead are right there, and they can't run or act.
And lying, there are often clues in the dead that we usually don’t notice.”
"Think about it carefully." Cao Yu put out his cigarette butt and said.
…
"Team Leader Cao, when you say that, I really think about it." Duan Wuyang said.
"Talk about it." Cao Yu raised his eyebrows, picked up the cigarette case on the table, and threw a cigarette to Duan Wuyang.
Duan Wuyang hurriedly caught the cigarette, "Luo Yannian had a traffic officer named Jiang Qi, who was later sent by Luo Yannian to the Qingdong Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force..."
"Huh?" Cao Yu glanced at Duan Wuyang.
"It's the Qingdong anti-Japanese guerrillas." Duan Wuyang said quickly, "This Jiang Qi was captured when the locust army encircled and suppressed the guerrillas. Jiang Qi was inspired by the locust army and decisively abandoned the secret and surrendered to the light."
"Continue." Cao Yu nodded slightly.
"The Locust Army secretly released Jiang Qi and asked him to return to Luo Yannian. However, Jiang Qi was unlucky. He was discovered by Luo Yannian, and the Red Party secretly executed Jiang Qi." Duan Wuyang said.
He said to Cao Yu, "This matter should be recorded in the files of the Locust Army. If Team Leader Cao is interested, he can apply to the Locust Army for access to the files."
…
"Jiang Qi." Cao Yu nodded, picked up the pen, and unscrewed the pen cap, "What two words are they?"
"Jiang is the ginger of Jiang Ziya, and Qi is the Qi of Qi Shan, the governor-general of Zhili in the late Qing Dynasty." Duan Wuyang said.
"Jiang Qi." Cao Yu nodded and wrote the word "Jiang Qi" on the document paper.
Cao Yu opened the drawer, took out a file, and turned to a certain page, "This Huo Xingqian, the document shows that he should be Luo Yannian's traffic officer. Is that what it is?"
As he spoke, he picked up the file.
Duan Wuyang stood up, took the file, and looked at it carefully.
"What? Do you have any impression?" Cao Yu asked.
…
"Huo Xingqian." Duan Wuyang's eyes flashed with a strange color.
"Do you know Huo Xingqian?" Cao Yu immediately caught the change in Duan Wuyang's eyes and asked immediately.
"Team Leader Cao is indeed very meticulous in his work. All the files from such a long time ago are being reviewed." Duan Wuyang said, "Team Leader Cao is right. I do know this Huo Xingqian."
"It seems that we have finally gained something." Cao Yu nodded, "Let me just say, brother Duan has been in the Red Party for so many years, and he will eventually know some people."
"Tell me about this Huo Xingqian." He said to Duan Wuyang.
…
"Huo Xingqian has been with Luo Yannian for a long time."
"He should be, if I remember correctly, Huo Xingqian should be from Huaiyuan, Anhui."
"I have met Huo Xing and Qian Liang before. I can't say that I am familiar with him. I can only say that I have a general understanding of him."
"Just tell me what you know." Cao Yu lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said.
"Huo Xingqian's marksmanship is excellent and he should be highly regarded by Luo Yannian." Duan Wuyang said, "So, after Huo Xingqian was killed, I heard that Luo Yannian was very sad and vowed to avenge Huo Xingqian."
"Revenge? Who to look for?" Cao Yu snorted coldly, "Huo Xingqian was shot to death indiscriminately. There were so many patrols and people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department opened fire."
"As recorded in this file, it was Cheng Qianfan, the patrolman of the French Concession, who is now 'Mr. Xiao Cheng', who discovered the fleeing Huo Xingqian in time, struggled with him, and successfully entangled Huo Xingqian, making Huo Xingqian unable to
Escape." Duan Wuyang said, "So, the Red Party, especially Luo Yannian, always believed that Cheng Qianfan was the culprit who killed Huo Xingqian. It can be said that Luo Yannian hated Cheng Qianfan deeply."
…
"It's just the barking of the loser." Cao Yu said sarcastically, "Back then, Cheng Qianfan was just a patrolman, and Luo Yannian couldn't even take action. Now Cheng Qianfan is the 'little CEO', and the Red Party has never seen Cheng Qianfan.
Take action."
"Yes, yes." Duan Wuyang quickly agreed, "The Red Party is all powerful on the outside but cadre on the inside."
There was a look of hesitation on his face.
"What? Is there anything you can't say?" Cao Yu glanced at Duan Wuyang.
"No, no." Duan Wuyang shook his head, "I just remembered something, I don't know if it's useful."
"Tell me." Cao Yu said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you know. I will be able to judge whether it is useful or not."
"Yes." Duan Wuyang said quickly, "After Huo Xingqian died, I once talked about Huo Xingqian with a red party member."
"The red party member said something at that time."
"What did you say?" Cao Yu asked immediately.
"He said that it was okay, sacrificing for the revolution was glorious, and it was a good result." Duan Wuyang said.
…
"What do you mean by this?" Cao Yu frowned and asked.
"I don't know." Duan Wuyang said, "I just think this sentence is a bit strange. The Red Party has great admiration and respect for the so-called martyrs who sacrificed for the Red Party, but the tone of the Red Party said this,
That’s why I feel a little strange.”
He said to Cao Yu, "It is precisely for this reason that I still have an impression of this matter."
"It's indeed a bit strange." Cao Yu said thoughtfully, "Is the Red Party member who said this to you still around now?"
"No more." Duan Wuyang shook his head, "That red party member was shot dead in an arrest by the Party Affairs Investigation Department not two months after Huo Xingqian's death."
"They are all dead ghosts no matter what." Cao Yu couldn't help but muttered, "The Red Party members should all deserve to die."
"Yes, yes, the Red Party members should all die." Duan Wuyang hurriedly agreed.
"Think again." Cao Yu looked at Duan Wuyang, "See if you can still recall some information about Luo Yannian's other traffic officers or the Red Party members around him?"
"It's really gone." Duan Wuyang said with a bitter smile, "Team Leader Cao, I have only met Luo Yannian, and I don't work beside him. I really don't know much about him and the people around him."
"As for Huo Xingqian's situation," Cao Yu said, "If you think about it carefully, see what else you can think of?"
"I can't think of anything else," Duan Wuyang said.
He looked at Cao Yu with some anxiety.
"If you can't remember it, just think about it." Cao Yu looked gloomy, "Not only this Huo Xingqian, but also that Jiang Qi, or other people you haven't remembered for the time being. You can go back and continue to think about it. Come back when you think of it.
Find me."
