He understood the seriousness of Peng Yuou's question.
This is related to the innocence of a revolutionary comrade, and he must be responsible for every word he says.
Being suspected without reason will seriously dampen the revolutionary enthusiasm of the suspected comrade, and is also an unfair treatment to the comrade.
Cheng Qianfan thought about it again in his mind. Instead of diminishing, his doubts became stronger.
In fact, Cheng Qianfan had no actual evidence to suspect that there was something wrong with this comrade.
His speculations and doubts were that it was okay to doubt the enemy, but it was very far-fetched and inappropriate to doubt his own comrades.
However, he just felt there was a problem.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
It can be understood as his intuition.
It can also be understood as his stubbornness.
For Cheng Qianfan, it was this almost paranoid intuition that enabled him to save his life countless times.
"Is there any evidence?" Peng Yuou saw that Cheng Qianfan was silent and continued to ask, "Comrade Huo Miao, you have to understand that this is related to the innocence of our own comrades, so please be cautious."
"Secretary Peng." Cheng Qianfan frowned, thinking about his words, "It's not that I doubt that my comrades have problems. I am willing to believe my comrades, but when it comes to the matter itself, I have some doubts.
Confuse."
After hearing this, Peng and Ou got up and paced back and forth on the wooden floor.
If an ordinary comrade suddenly suspected another comrade without any evidence, he might not be so cautious and take it seriously.
But this is Comrade Huo Miao.
After experiencing the previous incident, Peng Yuou conducted in-depth self-analysis. He reminded himself that when it comes to latent work, the young comrades Huo Miao are the most professional and have the most say.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan expressed his doubts about Comrade Cao Yu and he did not dare to neglect him.
…
"Tell me what you think." Peng Yu'ou waved his right hand slightly and said in a serious tone, "Asking questions and investigating them seriously, seriously and objectively is the greatest love and protection for our comrades. You must believe that my comrades are
One that can withstand investigation and testing.”
"I don't care about the person." Cheng Qianfan said, "As for the matter itself, I have some doubts. Here, I also want to ask Secretary Peng a few questions. After clarifying these points, maybe my
Doubts can be explained, maybe it's a misunderstanding, or maybe..."
He didn't say the words after "Maybe", but Peng and Ou understood what he meant.
"I can answer questions that do not violate organizational discipline and confidentiality principles." Peng Yuou picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it with a tap, and took a deep breath. "You can ask."
"We are in the patrol house in the French Concession, specifically in the central patrol house, and more specifically in my third patrol. Are there any comrades of ours?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Peng Yuou and asked.
"Comrade Huo Miao." Peng and Ou heard this, their expressions were extremely serious, "I can't answer your question, whether there is or is not, I can't give you an answer."
Cheng Qianfan nodded, Peng Yuou's answer was within his expectation.
However, he must ask this question.
…
"If there are still our comrades in the patrol room, then what I am going to say next is of no value." Cheng Qianfan continued, "If there are not our comrades in the patrol room, then for Comrade Cao Yu in "Jing"
Regarding the article itself in the newspaper, let me first talk about my first suspicion."
Peng and Ou didn't say anything and took a puff of their cigarette.
"The article in the "Jing Bao" was about a drunken Japanese driving a car and injuring a Chinese passerby. This happened at night. I didn't see any witnesses in the patrol room's files."
Cheng Qianfan was aroused by Peng Yuou. He took out the cigarette box and lighter from his body, popped out a cigarette, flipped the lighter and lit it. "This traffic accident case was closed early the next morning. The injured
The driver's injuries were not serious, he said he was in a hurry and gave up on pursuing the Japanese driver's responsibility. It can be said that the case was closed very quickly."
He blew out a smoke ring and said, "In fact, within my third patrol, only the police officer handling the case knows about such a small case. And because it involves Japanese people, it avoids causing discussion, and the police officer in charge does not
I will talk about it and leak it at will."
Cheng Qianfan picked up the ashtray on the table and flicked the ashes, "So, what I'm wondering about is how Comrade Cao Yu learned about this ordinary traffic accident case."
Peng and Ou took the ashtray from Cheng Qianfan's hand and put out the cigarette butts.
He still didn't speak. Although he had some questions in his heart, he couldn't ask them.
He now deeply feels the pressure of confronting an ace sleeper agent like Comrade Huo Miao.
Because once he opens his mouth, Comrade Huo Miao may infer from his words whether there are any Red Party comrades in the patrol room.
…
"Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that Comrade Cao Yu learned about this from the injured person's mouth." Cheng Qianfan continued.
"However, this brings me to my second question." Cheng Qianfan asked, "Secretary Peng, have any of our own comrades reported being hit by a Japanese car?"
"Probably not." Cheng Qianfan asked and answered himself.
Peng Yuou glanced at Cheng Qianfan and said to himself, this kid can choke people to death with his words.
"In the file, the injured person said that he wanted to rush back to his hometown in a hurry, so he chose not to hold the perpetrator accountable." Cheng Qianfan continued.
"They said they bought tickets, but after my investigation, it was found that because of the typhoon in those two days, all ships entered the port for safety, and no ships left the port at all."
"So, the injured man and his friends are lying."
"The reason why they gave up on pursuing the perpetrators, from my analysis, is most likely because there is something wrong with their identity."
"Maybe it's a comrade of our party, maybe it's the National Government's Party Affairs Investigation Office, maybe it's the Secret Service, maybe it's a water bandit, a murderer with a case against him, it might be another warlord's agent in Shanghai, or it might even be serving other countries.
spy."
Peng and Ou looked at Cheng Qianfan, who was talking eloquently and with a serious expression. Looking at this handsome and young face, they secretly cheered. They were deeply happy and proud that our party could have such an excellent latent agent.
"No matter what the possibility is." Cheng Qianfan popped out a cigarette and turned it around in his hand without smoking it. "There is a problem with the identity of the injured, that's for sure."
"This is my biggest suspicion. Regardless of whether Comrade Cao Yu obtained information about this case through contact with these two people, there is a problem!"
Cheng Qianfan's expression was extremely serious:
If Cao Yu learned this information through these two people, this could explain the source of the information and minimize suspicion of Cao Yu. However, did Cao Yu report this matter to the party, and why did he come into contact with it?
Those two people, this is a new problem.
If Cao Yu does not know these two people, then the problem is back to the original point. It is neither a news channel within the patrol room nor a news channel for the victim, and it is even less likely that he learned the news from the Japanese perpetrator.
Through what channels did you get the news about this very inconspicuous traffic accident case?
…
"Secretary Peng, I'm done." Cheng Qianfan picked up the water glass on the coffee table, took a sip of water, and said, "This is exactly what I doubt about this matter itself."
Peng Yuou was extremely amazed in his heart, and even more admired and admired this young insider comrade.
It's a very, very, very simple thing. It's just that an article criticizing the patrol room was published in the newspaper. It stands to reason that there are already many articles criticizing the patrol room.
However, Comrade Huo Miao said from such a "very ordinary" article with no problems:
See so many problems?!
The most important thing is that it sounds so well-reasoned and logically clear!
