"To be precise, the Japanese will know about it the next day at the latest." Qi Wu said with a gloomy expression, "In fact, the worst case scenario is that the Japanese will know about it late at night on the 5th."
"Time..." Cheng Qianfan muttered.
Qi Wu nodded appreciatively.
That’s right, it’s the right time!
After Japan receives the information, it also needs time to coordinate and arrange it.
This is a top-down command transmission process.
The Japanese warships began to weigh anchor as early as the early morning of the 6th and set off in the direction of Jiangyin Fortress. From this, it can be inferred that it is indeed very likely that the intelligence was leaked late at night on the 5th.
"On the 6th and 7th, in these two days, more than 30 Japanese warships and large merchant ships rushed out of Jiangyin Fortress." Qi Wu said with a cold face, "The committee was extremely angry and ordered a thorough investigation into the leak case."
He did not tell Cheng Qianfan that when he learned that the plan to sink the ship at Jiangyin Fortress to stop the enemy had failed, Chang Kaishen was not only furious, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
The old man called Nanjing Gendarmerie Commander Gu Zhenglun, Secret Service Division Dai Chunfeng, and Party Affairs Investigation Division Xue Yingzhen to the leader's residence, cursed them bloody, and ordered them to solve the case within a time limit and uncover the traitor.
…
Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Director, if I hadn't heard what you said with my own ears, I really couldn't believe that such a thing would happen."
This is the military meeting of the Supreme Military Council, the highest-level secret defense meeting of the National Government.
Except for the ‘leader’ Chang Kaishen, all the other attendees were high-ranking figures in the national government.
It is simply outrageous and unimaginable that such a top-secret military plan made by the highest-level military conference almost changes hands and ends up on the desk of the Japanese.
"Director, you came to Shanghai to summon me in person. You must have an extremely important task for me, but if you ask me, Qianfan will never say anything." Cheng Qianfan said solemnly.
The matter was so important that the Nanjing headquarters couldn't even wait for a regular report and sent Qi Wu to Shanghai overnight to find him. There must be an extremely top-secret task assigned to him.
…
"The Secret Service attaches great importance to this leak case. Finding out the details of the case and uncovering the traitor is the top priority of the Secret Service." Qi Wu said, "Nanjing is already investigating. What does the Chief mean?
The Nanjing side investigates the source of the leaks, and the Shanghai side investigates from the end of the information."
As he said that, Qi Wu looked solemn and said, "Let me give you a test and you can analyze the case."
After saying that, Qi Wu gave Cheng Qianfan a meaningful look.
Cheng Qianfan noticed Qi Wu's eyes and felt something in his heart.
He didn't answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he sorted out his thoughts before speaking.
"It's difficult to check." Cheng Qianfan said first.
Sheng Shuyu glanced at Cheng Qianfan and wondered how could this kid secretly learn his catchphrase.
Sheng Shuyu was unruly and very proud, thinking that he was one of the smartest people in the Secret Service.
His catchphrase is 'This is hard'.
When everyone nodded in agreement, Sheng Shuyu began to explain his analysis.
When he finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized:
What this bastard said is that this matter is difficult for everyone, but it is easy for him, Sheng Shuyu.
Qi Wu smiled and glanced at Sheng Shuyu, then nodded and motioned for Cheng Qianfan to continue.
He knew Cheng Qianfan, a very smart and sensible young man, without the perverse and unruly traits of Sheng Shuyu.
…
"The combat plan was leaked almost instantly, which indicates that the intelligence was most likely leaked just after leaving the meeting room of the Supreme Military Council," Cheng Qianfan said.
Qi Wu nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"The reason for this guess is that the secrets were leaked so quickly, which basically rules out the possibility of leaks from lower-level units." Cheng Qianfan paused for a moment, gathered his thoughts, and continued, "The lower-level units of the government received tactical orders from the highest level.
There is a time process. Judging from the normal order transmission speed and time, by the time this information was conveyed to the relevant units, the Japanese ships had already fled at full power."
Qi Wu was convinced that 'Blue Bird' was clear-headed and well-organized. This analysis coincided with his and Dai Chunfeng's analysis.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Qi Wu and lowered his voice, "So, the biggest doubt lies with the people who attended the meeting of the Supreme Military Council."
Qi Wu looked calm.
"There's no way to check this." Cheng Qianfan said cautiously.
The participants of the Supreme Military Council were important government officials such as Wang Chuanhai and He Yingzhen.
The ones with the lowest status are also the heads of major ministries and commissions in the Executive Yuan, especially the Ministry of National Defense.
Therefore, he would say that there is no way to check it at all.
In other words, with the energy of the Secret Service, even if these big bosses have problems, they would not dare to touch them.
…
"What are you thinking about?" Qi Wu then glared at Cheng Qianfan, "It's a mess."
"Director, I'm just discussing the matter." Cheng Qianfan shouted at Qu.
"It's not as serious as you think." Qi Wu shook his head and said, "High-level officials will not have problems."
"Chairman Wang has always had an ambiguous attitude towards Japan..." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Sheng Shuyu and lowered his voice.
Sheng Shuyu frowned, what did this kid mean by treating him as an outsider? Or did he doubt that he would go to Wang Chuanhai to inform?
"Be careful!" Qi Wu glared at Cheng Qianfan seriously.
"Isn't this in front of you, the director? If it were anyone else, I wouldn't dare to say it." Cheng Qianfan said hurriedly.
Qi Wu glanced at him. Although his expression was still serious, his heart was extremely warm.
"Chairman Wang's status as the chairman of the political committee is that one person is inferior to ten thousand people. He may have differences with the Japanese political attitudes and appointments, and has a good relationship with the upper levels of the Japanese cabinet. However, Chairman Wang is a person worthy of admiration.
, and, with Chairman Wang’s character..." Qi Wu said slowly, he glanced at Cheng Qianfan, "In short, Chairman Wang is trustworthy."
Cheng Qianfan nodded and understood.
He had heard a lot about Wang Chuanhai. Perhaps he was very dissatisfied with being suppressed by Chang Kaishen, so he never gave up poking around and causing trouble.
However, this person is indecisive in doing things and does not have the courage to directly communicate with the sun at this stage.
Qi Wu was worried that this kid would say something shocking again, so he lowered his hand and signaled Cheng Qianfan to listen to him first.
"Stop thinking wildly. Important officials in the government are all members of the party and the state. It is impossible for problems to arise." As he said this, he pointed at Cheng Qianfan, "I can't think clearly."
…
Cheng Qianfan chuckled.
He pretended to be embarrassed, but he could read appreciation from Qi Wu's eyes.
The two of them just had a very tacit reply.
In this way, Cheng Qianfan learned from Qi Wu that there was no problem with senior officials, including Wang Kehai.
Why is this so?
Because, regardless of whether Wang Chuanhai, He Yingzhen and others had any problems, Qi Wu could not take the initiative to say these words.
Because Qi Wu represents Dai Chunfeng, and in turn represents the attitude of the Secret Service.
Qi Wu said that there is no problem with Wang Reclamation, or there is a problem. This represents one fact:
The Secret Service did discuss it carefully and even investigated Wang Qianhai or others.
Secretly investigating important party and state officials is an extremely serious 'violation'.
Qi Wu couldn't take the initiative to bring this up at all.
However, Cheng Qianfan can do it. He is just a young agent and can ask questions based on the facts. This is very reasonable.
Then, Qi Wu naturally scolded him immediately and told Cheng Qianfan through the art of language: It is extremely unlikely that those big guys are involved in the case.
Qi Wu asked Cheng Qianfan to analyze the case and gave him a look. Cheng Qianfan then said, "It's difficult to investigate."
At this time, Qi Wu and Cheng Qianfan had quickly and successfully established a tacit understanding.
…
Sheng Shuyu is a smart man.
He immediately realized what Qi Wu and Cheng Qianfan were doing by singing together.
This made Sheng Shuyu quite angry.
What are you two doing?
Who can't you trust?
There are only three people in the room, and you two are playing charades there in a fog. Who are you guarding against?
Is there anything I can’t say out loud?
Sheng Shuyu was very angry.
He didn't think he should be careful when speaking in this situation, so he subconsciously thought that Qi Wu and Cheng Qianfan didn't trust him.
"I'm going to smoke a cigarette at the door." Sheng Shuyu said in a loud voice.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Sheng Shuyu who was walking away angrily and made a puzzled expression. Why did this guy suddenly get angry for no reason?
He looked at Qi Wu and asked Director Qi, "Why is this Sheng Shuyu suddenly having a seizure?"
…
Qi Wu understood in his heart.
This is the personality difference between Cheng Qianfan and Sheng Shuyu.
Sheng Shuyu is a man of great talent and ability, but he is too unruly, arrogant and arrogant at times.
For example, if Sheng Shuyu were to analyze the case, he would most likely say directly - Wang Chuanhai, Mei Ri, seems to be the most suspect, but Wang Chunyi does not have the guts to directly collude with the Japanese, so he can be ruled out.
Cheng Qianfan and Qi Wu are both cautious people. Even if they are surrounded by "one of their own" Sheng Shuyu, they will never neglect anything.
"Ignore him." Qi Wu smiled.
He naturally understood why Sheng Shuyu was suddenly angry.
Because this was done intentionally by Qi Wu, and behind Sheng Shuyu was Yu Ping'an.
Qi Wu deliberately acted distant from Sheng Shuyu, also to keep distance from Yu Ping'an.
This is for Virgo Dai to see.
Qi Wu naturally knew that this was Virgo's temptation:
Dai Chunfeng arranged for Sheng Shuyu to follow him many times when he went out on business. This was not only because of Sheng Shuyu's strong personal ability, but also because this was an inspection.
He acted like this deliberately, believing that with Sheng Shuyu's temperament, he would definitely complain to Dai Chunfeng about today's incident after returning to Nanjing.
Dai Virgo naturally knew about this, and with Virgo's intelligence, he naturally knew that Qi Wu did it deliberately, which would definitely satisfy Dai Virgo:
What Dai Chunfeng wanted was Qi Wu's statement!
Although the process is rough, simplicity and roughness are the most practical.
In addition, Qi Wu looked at Cheng Qianfan. The more he looked at this young man, the more he admired him.
The two of them didn't communicate in advance at all just now, but with just a word and a look, the tacit understanding came.
Qi Wu was very happy. It felt good to be able to find young people who communicated with him on the same channel.
Of course, the comfortable feeling brought by this tacit understanding only applies to young people.
Without him, young people are inexperienced and pose no threat to him.
…
Sheng Shuyu, who walked aside to smoke, had a gloomy expression, but felt relieved inside.
In order to avoid suspicion, Qi Wu was unwilling to get involved with Yu Pingan.
Yu Ping'an also thinks the same way.
"No wonder my brother-in-law said that Qi Wu is a man, and Qi Wu will take care of it without any hint from me." Sheng Shuyu recalled what her brother-in-law Yu Ping'an told him, and glanced at Qi Wu.
Yu Ping'an's original words to Sheng Shuyu were: You don't have to do anything, Qi Wu knows what to do.
Here, Cheng Qianfan thought deeply and said, "So, our investigation target is the entourage of the important person attending the meeting."
As he said that, Cheng Qianfan looked at Qi Wu in confusion. The entourage of those important officials were all in Nanjing. The main battlefield for hunting down traitors was in Nanjing, which had little to do with him who was far away in Shanghai. So, Qi Wu came over overnight.
Shanghai is looking for him, but why?
Also, Qi Wu said that Shanghai is the end of intelligence.
Cheng Qianfan had a vague suspicion in his mind, but he pretended not to know.
"Director, in this case, my subordinates don't understand, what can I do in Shanghai?" Cheng Qianfan asked doubtfully.
"Originally, you really can't be of much help." Qi Wu said with a smile, "But, didn't you just make a new friend?"
"Kazuo Kamaga!" Cheng Qianfan understood 'immediately' and said a name.
"That's right." Qi Wu saw Cheng Qianfan reacting immediately and nodded happily, "Kazuo Kamaga is a code expert in the telecommunications room of the Japanese Navy Headquarters in Shanghai. The director speculated that the intelligence leaked from Nanjing, no matter how it passed through
Everything transmitted through these channels will eventually be sent to the Shanghai Naval Command via telegraph."
"In addition, there is intelligence to prove that late at night on the 5th, the lights in the telecommunications room of the Shanghai Naval Command were always on." Qi Wu continued.
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and nodded.
"Tell me what you think." Qi Wu continued to ask thoughtfully.
"First of all, I need to confirm whether Kamaga Kazuo is the person who handled the telegram." Cheng Qianfan said while thinking, "The information I got from Marine Corps Lieutenant Junji Ono is that Kamaga Kazuo is deeply loved by the Japanese Navy Commander.
Based on this judgment, Kazuo Kamaga is most likely to be the person who handled the telegram."
Qi Wu handed Cheng Qianfan a cigarette, nodded approvingly, and motioned for him to continue.
…
Cheng Qianfan took the cigarette and did not light it, but rolled it around his fingertips. "This information is so important that the Japanese navy will be busy all night long to track the progress of the evacuation of Japanese warships."
"If Kazuo Kamaga is indeed an important figure in the telecommunications section of the Japanese Navy Headquarters, he will not be able to escape for a moment." Cheng Qianfan put the cigarette into his mouth, "I only need to inquire from the side. If Kazuo Kamaga is on the 6th or 7th
I have been busy these past two days, so it is basically certain that Kamaga Kazuo is the direct handler of Nanjing Telecom."
"After confirming Kazuo Kamaga is our target, I will find a way to get close to him and investigate the matter secretly." After Cheng Qianfan finished speaking, he took out a lighter from his pocket, lit the cigarette, took a puff, and looked at Qi Wu.
"Very good!" Qi Wu clapped his hands and exclaimed, "This is exactly why Virgo arranged for me to cross the river overnight to find you."
Qi Wu patted Cheng Qianfan on the shoulder, "Nanjing is the source, and Shanghai is the destination. The two departments will work together to uncover this extremely harmful traitor hiding deep in the party-state as quickly as possible."
Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said, "Director, my subordinates will naturally try their best to complete the task, but..."
He pondered for a moment and said, "My subordinate has something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
