"The organization has submitted a list of the Eighth Office in Shanghai to the National Government, and the name of the comrade from Bethel Hospital is also on it." Peng Yuou took a sip of tea and said.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Peng Yuou in surprise. Unexpectedly, Peng Yuou thought of this method and solved the crisis almost perfectly. He nodded secretly in his heart and was filled with admiration.
National Fudan University is preparing for the start of the fall semester. Japanese military planes rumbled by, and bombs rained down on the campus. Jiangwan Town was getting closer and closer. The deafening sound of gunfire shattered the expectations of Fudan teachers and students for the new semester.
.
Judging from the current situation, Fudan University may issue to students the first "cancellation of semester" notice in the history of the school.
Mr. Nan Xuan, Vice President of Fudan University, said at an internal meeting of the school that "with the belief that "the traditional patriotic spirit of our school will never allow us to start school under the iron heel of the enemy," the school must prepare for the possible fall of Shanghai:
The school must start sorting out, rescuing important archives, cultural and historical materials, and important instruments from the Japanese bombings, and make preparations to evacuate Shanghai.
Among them, history professors from universities such as Fudan University and Tongji University, which have already partially evacuated Shanghai in advance, have also received the task:
Compile and protect historical textbooks to tell our children and grandchildren that we are descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties and Chinese, to avoid the destruction of the country and the genocide!
In view of the current situation at Fudan University and for safety reasons, Bai Ruolan cannot come to the school to audit in the new semester.
Cheng Qianfan made an excuse to come to collect textbooks and handouts for Bai Ruolan, and met Peng Yuou as a matter of course.
…
Regarding the matter of Bethel Hospital, Cheng Qianfan had a serious discussion with Peng Yuou:
How to prevent our party comrades from being exposed due to the unintentional actions of children.
The topics discussed are somewhat ridiculous.
Children's nature is pure, children are so innocent.
However, the reality is extremely cruel.
Similar incidents have occurred before.
The most famous one is the arrest of Comrade Ren Peiguo in the public concession.
At that time, Comrade Ren Peiguo went to a two-story Shikumen building near the Yangshupu factory area to attend a secret meeting.
However, this residence has been detected by the Public Settlement Patrol Room.
Before Ren Peiguo arrived, the police from the patrol room had already arrested three comrades who had arrived early for the meeting. The patrol moved so quickly that the comrades did not have time to issue a warning signal.
After Ren Peiguo arrived at the meeting place, he saw that there was no sign of trouble on the door. He thought everything was normal, so he walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
As soon as the door was half opened, the alert Ren Peiguo immediately noticed that the situation was abnormal and turned around to leave, but it was too late. Several police officers rushed out and held him down with both hands.
A plainclothes policeman forced a woman guarding the agency to reveal Ren Peiguo's identity and name.
This woman is Comrade Li Canying, the widow of martyr Guo Liang.
Determined to sacrifice herself, Li Canying firmly stated that she "didn't know the person coming."
Ren Peiguo also immediately explained that he went to the wrong door.
But just at this moment, an unexpected thing happened——
Li Canying has a three- or four-year-old son named Guo Zhicheng, the son of Ms. Li and martyr Guo Liang.
Ren Peiguo loved this martyr's children very much and often saved money from his meager living expenses to buy candies for his children to supplement their nutrition, so the children were very close to him.
In the rain and fog, after three-year-old little Zhicheng recognized his "Uncle Ren", he rushed over and nestled affectionately on Ren Peiguo...
In this way, Ren Peiguo was arrested.
However, his true identity was never revealed. He was tortured for more than thirty days and still refused to admit that he was a member of the Red Party.
Comrade Xiang Wu, who was leading the Special Branch at that time, personally took command, managed to secure connections, hired lawyers, and filed a lawsuit to rescue Comrade Ren Peiguo.
Cheng Qianfan and Peng Yuou discussed it and still found no good way to solve similar incidents.
Revolutionary comrades also have love and want to get married and have children.
To put it most directly and cruelly, without the children and the comrades who have sacrificed their lives, who will continue the revolution!
Moreover, when working underground, having a family and children is a good cover in itself.
Therefore, this situation cannot be completely avoided, and we can only be more cautious.
However, Peng Yuou accepted Cheng Qianfan's suggestion:
Lurkers are prohibited from mentioning anything that may reveal their identity to children in their daily lives. For example, specifically regarding this matter, children cannot be taught to recognize slogans such as 'Down with the Kuomintang reactionaries.' In the future, we will consider
When Shanghai is likely to fall, we cannot teach children to understand slogans such as 'Down with Japanese Imperialism'.
Children can be taught to read, but slogans cannot be taught specifically.
This may seem like a small matter, but both Cheng Qianfan and Peng Yuou attach great importance to it.
…
Cheng Qianfan reported to Peng Yuou about Liu Bo's extradition, specifically mentioning the scene where Liu Bo sang "The Internationale" while being put into a prison car.
"This scene is really shocking." Cheng Qianfan took out the cigarette case. He glanced at the students passing by outside the window. Instead of passing cigarettes to Peng and Ou, he took out a cigarette himself and then put the cigarette case away.
On the table, ask Peng and Ou to take it for themselves.
"I almost subconsciously thought that Liu Bo was one of our own." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
"Tell me what you think about this matter and Liu Bo." Peng Yuou touched the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, handed a handout to Cheng Qianfan, pointed to the contents, and lit a cigarette.
, watching Cheng Qianfan copy notes on the lecture notes.
"Inspector Cheng, your handwriting is very beautiful." Peng and Ou slightly raised their voices and said.
This is not a compliment, and given his personality, it is not suitable for him to say compliments. Cheng Qianfan's pen calligraphy is indeed very beautiful, the strokes are powerful, and there is a silver groove between them!
Cheng Qianfan smiled and said nothing. His grandfather and parents had supervised his calligraphy since he was a child. After his parents died, Comrade Xiangwu and Farmer visited him and both of them had guided him in calligraphy.
"In my opinion." He thought for a moment, "First of all, Liu Bo is indeed promoting red ideas in prison. According to my understanding, Liu Bo has a very deep understanding of red, even deeper than some of our comrades.
Of course, this does not mean that Liu Bo has a stronger revolutionary consciousness and will than our comrades."
"However, this does prove that Liu Bo may be influenced by red ideas." Peng Yuou said.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Before Comrade 'Farmer' pointed out this situation, I could never believe that such a thing would happen, and I would not think of it in this direction. However, looking at it now,
It is indeed possible.”
"However, when it comes to Liu Bo singing "The Internationale" today, I don't think Liu Bo has completely transformed himself into a red warrior, but I think he is sending a signal." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Signal?" Peng Yuou asked.
"Yes, signal." Cheng Qianfan said, "Liu Bo is a smart man. He comes from a poor family, but he is educated, smart, and has no lack of skills. It is impossible for such a person not to see that the three principles are right.
His suspicion."
"Especially the murder of Kazuo Qingda, Liu Bo knew about it through newspapers. It was after this incident that Sanbonjiro's attitude towards Liu Bo began to change." Cheng Qianfan said, "I suspect Liu Bo has guessed Sanbon
Jiro planned to use him as a scapegoat, and even felt Sanbon's murderous intention towards him."
With that said, Cheng Qianfan flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said with a smile, "The Japanese want to kill him. The Party Affairs Investigation Department treats him as a 'fish intestine' and will kill him sooner or later. Liu Bo thought about it over and over, but he was a misunderstood fish."
This identity of Chang' may be able to save his life."
"Therefore, Liu Bo 'revealed' his identity as a Red Party member in public, hoping to attract public attention and even attract our party to actually take action to save his life." Peng Yuou said that he was inclined to Cheng Qianfan's analysis.
to believe in this possibility.
"However, it is not enough." Peng Yuou shook his head, "The Party Affairs Investigation Office kills without blinking an eye. Liu Bo could be killed at any time. He should have other ways to temporarily save his life and wait for the possibility of being 'rescued' later."
"As far as I know, Araki Harima should have told Liu Bo some of the information about our party that Cao Yu knew, as well as some confidential information from the Party Affairs Investigation Department. This move was intended to later smear Liu Bo's plan to betray Japan long ago, no matter what
It’s the National Red Party and Liu Bo can’t escape, but——” Cheng Qianfan said.
"However, Liu Bo can use this information to deceive the Party Affairs Investigation Department." Peng Yuou's eyes lit up and he said, "According to our analysis, Liu Bo knows that only the red identity of 'Yuchang' is a chance of survival, so he
He will not 'leak' our party's intelligence, but will use his knowledge of the Party Affairs Investigation Department to confuse the enemy, making the other party mistakenly think that his identity is higher than expected, giving himself a chance to survive."
"Yes, Professor Peng is a wise man." Cheng Qianfan smiled and flattered him silently.
Liu Bo was identified as a "fish intestine". If he did not admit that he was a "fish intestine", he would only die faster.
Similarly, a "fish intestine" who chooses to "betray" the Red Party will not survive. On the contrary, the more he "explains", the faster he will die.
It was impossible for the national government to spare Liu Bo's life.
Only the staunch Bolshevik fighter Comrade Liu Bo, and the higher-ranking Red Liu Bo, could survive for the time being.
Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of a red change in thought or from the hope of living, Liu Bo is most likely to be red now from the inside out.
"You kid, don't do this." Peng Yuou said in a low voice with a smile.
When he sees Cheng Qianfan, he always thinks of his son Feng Jiazhang, who died in the Northeast Anti-Japanese War. Therefore, for Cheng Qianfan, he is not only a revolutionary friendship, but also a comrade-in-arms, and there is also a hint of affection from the elders to the younger ones.
"Let me know what you think." Peng Yuou asked.
"I have an immature consideration." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Tell me." Peng Yuou flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said with a smile.
"Comrade 'Yuchang' has been arrested. Can Comrade Pan Yixing consider making representations to the national government and asking them to release Comrade 'Yuchang'?" Cheng Qianfan said.
"The Nationalist Government extradited Liu Bo on criminal grounds. I suspect that they will not even admit that Liu Bo is a Red Party member or a political prisoner," Peng Yuou said.
The Red Party has never explicitly recognized Liu Bo’s identity as a Red Party member.
This situation is not uncommon. In order to protect the arrested comrades, as long as the identity of the arrested comrade is not exposed or the identity of the red party is not recognized, our party will mostly not recognize the person's red party identity at the public level.
This is also the reason why the Party Affairs Investigation Department has never suspected that they made a mistake.
"It's not up to them whether he is a red party member or not." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "We take the initiative to disclose the identity of 'Yuchang', then Liu Bo is a red party member who can be publicly obtained."
"And here, here, here are the parts of this handout that require the most thorough understanding." Peng Yu'ou said with a serious expression, "Your idea is very constructive. I will consider it carefully. My personal opinion is that we can ask Yixing
Comrade mentioned this idea."
…
Cheng Qianfan said goodbye to Peng and Ou.
Before leaving, Peng Yuou said to him, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to have public contact in the future."
Cheng Qianfan was surprised and asked hurriedly what happened.
Peng and Ou had a slightly strange expression: Inspector Xiao Cheng was greedy for money and lustful, and his reputation for ruthlessness was growing day by day. Professor Peng had a good reputation throughout his life and was ashamed to be associated with him.
When Inspector Xiao Cheng heard this, he was speechless for a moment.
Although Peng and Ou were joking, they did point out a possible hidden danger in their public contact.
Given their personalities and reputations, they really cannot have too much public contact in the future.
"What did someone say?" Cheng Qianfan immediately became alert.
Although Inspector Xiao Cheng is famous, not many people have actually met him, and most students don't know him. Therefore, his contact with Peng Yuou has not attracted much attention so far.
.
"A professor from the history department mentioned to me that you, Inspector Cheng, are greedy for money and lustful. You come from a land of fish and meat, and advised me not to have anything to do with you." Peng Yuou said.
He looked at Cheng Qianfan and said, "This old friend listed you, Cheng Haitao, Liang Yuchun and others as the six major dangers of the French Concession."
I am actually lucky enough to be among the ‘six worst evils’ of the French Concession!
Is this a compliment for your work...
When Cheng Qianfan heard this, he smiled bitterly.
If things continued like this, he doubted whether some righteous man would take action against him, a major harm to the French Concession, and eliminate the evil for the people.
When parting, the two seemed to have had a quarrel.
The students saw Professor Peng angrily pointing at the nose of a very handsome young man and saying something.
The man looked arrogant and seemed to be about to punch Professor Peng.
Just when the students were about to rush over to help, fortunately, they stopped in time, pointed at Professor Peng, tied them up with ropes, and left with the lecture notes and textbooks.
"If it weren't for Ruolan, I wouldn't want these things." Inspector Xiao Cheng said bitterly.
"Niece Ruolan, what a wonderful girl, but it's a pity that she married the wrong person." Professor Peng said.
The two broke up unhappy.
Cheng Qianfan also felt strange when he thought that he and Comrade Peng Yuou were discussing how to rescue a Japanese in such a serious manner, and that even "farmer" comrades as far away as Nanjing were paying attention to this matter.
In a temporary cell in a secret stronghold of the Kuomintang Party Affairs Investigation Office in the public concession, Liu Bo sat on a stool made of bricks, shook his pen vigorously, scratched twice on a piece of white paper, and shouted, "No more ink."
.”
A guard politely handed over an ink bottle.
"Mr. Liu, it has been prepared a long time ago."
Half an hour later, Wu Shanyue picked up "Yuchang"'s confession and read it, but he was furious. He raised his head and saw the words:
My confession:
Confessions of a Bolshevik!
The Bolshevik trumpet is bound to sound all over China——
My opinion is that the Japanese invaders will be defeated, the Kuomintang will be defeated, and the Chinese Red Revolution will be victorious!
"Lock him up and don't give him food today!" Wu Shanyue angrily tore up the "confession article" and shouted.
Listening to the footsteps in the distance, Liu Bo picked up the torn article, put it together after careful thought, and smoothed it out carefully.
The more I write these articles, the more excited I become, and the more I believe that what I write will eventually come true.
For a long time, Liu Bo gave a wry smile. He was a Japanese, but he actually studied on his own and became a warrior who firmly believed in the red. He himself thought it was amazing.
However, Liu Bo has no regrets.
He firmly believes that red thought belongs to all mankind and is the truth that guides the struggles of oppressed people all over the world!
Liu Bo looked at the top of the cell. He was lost in thought, wondering if those red 'comrades' he had never met before had received his signal and could come to rescue him, a soldier who took the initiative to embark on the red road.
He is not afraid of death.
He just felt that it was too late for him to understand the truth of the revolution, and there were still many things that he had not had time to do.
