Cheng Qianfan knew that according to organizational discipline, he should not follow Wang Jun and the other two.
However, he received news from He Guan that there had been consecutive shootings in the French Concession, especially the incident in which he, as a patrol officer, was ambushed in front of his home. All these events had aroused the anger of the senior officials of the French Concession authorities.
Ferguson, the police chief of the French Concession, was very dissatisfied with the security situation in the French Concession.
He ordered patrols to strengthen key investigations in their respective jurisdictions.
In particular, the intensity of nighttime inspections has been temporarily increased.
He was worried that Wang Jun and his two men would encounter night patrols, so he protected them along the way.
As a sleeper agent named "Flame", he made a mistake by following his comrades.
However, as Chen Zhou of the Special Kosovo Red Team, the Special Kosovo personnel themselves have the task of protecting the safety of important leading comrades.
Cheng Qianfan was once ordered to secretly protect the municipal and provincial committees, as well as important comrades and democrats passing through Shanghai.
This time he "escorted" the comrades of the Municipal Party Committee along the way. Broadly speaking, it does not violate the record.
Compared to a sleeper, his status as a member of Special Branch gives him the greatest degree of freedom.
It is precisely because of the special nature of the work of members of Special Kosovo that the comrades of Special Kosovo have extremely strong revolutionary will. Kuomintang agents rarely capture comrades of Special Kosovo alive...
…
In addition, the most important point is that he is currently out of contact with the organization. In this case, he joined the Kuomintang Secret Service and will go to Hangzhou for training. He needs to express his position to the organization in advance.
That's right, he joined the Secret Service according to Comrade Zhulin's arrangements during his lifetime.
However, in the increasingly complex struggle situation, especially when Comrade "Zhulin" sacrificed his life, some things are difficult to explain clearly.
He does not want to be misunderstood and doubted by the organization.
Joining the Secret Service was the work arrangement of Special Branch. He could only wait for Special Branch to wake him up and report the matter to the leader of Special Branch.
This is related to the confidentiality of his hidden identity. Cheng Qianfan must strictly abide by discipline and cannot reveal any information about this matter to the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.
However, this time he warned the organization and took the initiative to provide intelligence to the organization. This is the basic principle of a red warrior and the inner manifestation of his always being loyal to the revolution and the organization.
This is a matter of principle about loyalty and political attitude.
As for the intelligence and information that could be revealed, he now tried every means to contact the organization and report to the organization in a timely manner.
What cannot be said is to strictly abide by organizational disciplines.
Just like he didn't report on the situation of getting rid of the traitor Lao Mo this time.
There was no report on the fact that the Baicao Herb Shop on Xiafei Road and the Huichang Teahouse in Chenghuang Temple were Rite strongholds.
Without him, this information is related to the death of Lao Mo and is Teko's mission.
He can consider reporting, but he cannot report today. There is a certain chance that people will associate "Huo Miao" with "Chenzhou".
Even if you are reporting information, there are also particularities in how you report it.
…
"Lao Peng, what do you think about what Comrade Xinghuo said about patrolling Liu Bo who was suspected of being a Japanese special agent?" Wang Jun asked.
Comrade Spark?
Peng and Ou smiled, and at the end of the letter, their signature read "Xinghuo."
spark?
Is this the code name of this insider comrade?
Peng and Ou were not sure. For insider comrades who kept a high degree of confidentiality, their code names were also top secrets.
Except for their direct leadership comrades, they will not reveal their code names to anyone else.
Therefore, it is very likely that this is the codename that the insider comrade temporarily gave himself.
A spark, a spark, a spark can start a prairie fire. Peng and Ou like this code name.
"I will arrange for someone to investigate the background of this patrol." Peng Yu'ou said in a deep voice. He did not believe that a person could hide without leaving any trace. There are always some clues that can be used to spy on him.
The reason why an agent hides well is because he has never been suspected. Once he is suspected, any blind spots in his body will be infinitely magnified.
…
"What happened to Comrade Kang Erniu? He is also a proven veteran comrade. How could he still make such a low-level mistake?" Peng Yuou asked angrily.
"Comrade Kang Erniu has made a sincere self-examination. He promised to strictly reflect on himself and will not make similar mistakes again." Wang Jun said quickly.
"In the short term, Kang Erniu must stay hidden and not appear in public." Peng Yuou ordered.
"I will notify him." Wang Jun agreed with this arrangement. It is difficult to ensure that the details that Comrade Xinghuo can notice will not be noticed by other interested people. The decision to temporarily reduce Kang Erniu's public appearances is prudent and correct.
"Comrade Wang Jun." Peng Yu'ou asked with a serious expression, "Do you think Comrade Liao's sacrifice had anything to do with Zhuang Ze?"
Wang Jun was stunned, "Lao Peng, why do you have this suspicion?"
"I forgot that you don't know much about Comrade Lao Liao. Let's put it this way, Lao Liao is an old comrade of the Anti-Japanese League. After he arrived in Shanghai from outside the customs, he was assigned a special job and had very little contact with the local party organization.
"
"I understand." Wang Jun thought for a moment and understood what Peng Yuou meant.
For comrades who have very little contact with the local party organizations in Shanghai and are from outside the customs, the possibility of being exposed due to the involvement of the local party organizations is extremely low. The most likely reason is that they are exposed due to reasons outside the customs.
Zhuang Ze participated in the Anti-League.
This person was recently arrested and rebelled.
Lao Liao was also exposed and sacrificed recently.
This is too much of a coincidence.
Underground work doesn't believe in coincidences.
"If this is true, this Zhuang Ze is really shameful and hateful and deserves to be killed!" Wang Jun said bitterly.
"This matter will be brought to light." Peng and Ou looked sad. It is so sad that Lao Liao and his family all sacrificed their lives for the revolution.
At the same time, Peng Yuou also had a trace of confusion in his heart. If, as he judged, Comrade "Xinghuo" was hidden within the Kuomintang Party Affairs Investigation Office, he should have a certain chance of knowing about Zhuang Ze's rebellion and Lao Liao's sacrifice.
Is there any relationship between them?
Why was it not mentioned in the intelligence?
However, the Party Affairs Investigation Office also has its own division of labor and does its own thing. It is possible that Comrade Xinghuo does not know more about the inside story.
It's a pity that this comrade and the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee are not on the same line. Due to strict organizational discipline, even as a senior official of the Municipal Party Committee, he has no right to know more.
However, facing such outstanding comrades, Peng and Ou could not help but fall in love with talents.
…
Cheng Qianfan's addiction to cigarettes broke out.
He didn't smoke, he just held a cigarette and played with it.
This was not the San Paotai cigarette he was used to smoking in the police station, but Jinhuang brand cigarette, which was also a popular cigarette in Shanghai.
When taking action, Cheng Qianfan will be extra careful and do everything possible to separate himself from the identity of patrolling Cheng Qianfan.
He was thinking about whether there was any connection between Lao Liao's sacrifice and the traitor Zhu Yuan.
When it was confirmed that Zhu Yuan was a traitor, this thought lingered.
The two things were so close that he couldn't help but doubt them.
He knew that it would be difficult to find out with his own strength, so on the letter to Wang Jun, he wrote Zhu Yuan's rebellion and Lao Liao's sacrifice next to each other.
He believed that the wisdom of the leaders of the municipal party committee would definitely be able to connect to this point. The power of the organization was powerful. If he could not find out personally, the organization would definitely be able to find out.
He did not write down his speculations about these two matters in the letter, also to avoid exposing the identity of the letter-writer as our party's senior agent "Huo Miao".
Only Huo Miao knew his background to traffic officer Lao Liao and could connect the two things together.
Trust comrades.
Doubt everything.
Be careful in everything.
This is the ultimate creed for an inside agent to successfully hide and survive.
…
The door opened, and Wang Jun and Wang Jun quietly went out into the rainy night.
Cheng Qianfan threw the cigarette he was playing with directly into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it into his stomach. He would not leave any traces.
After the footsteps of the two people faded away, he followed quietly.
Escort these two people all the way back to their residence.
Cheng Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief. The trip back and forth went smoothly and he did not encounter any night inspections. It seemed that the night rain made the patrol officers lazy.
On the way back from Wang Jun's residence, Cheng Qianfan saw a drunk Annan patrolman from a distance, going crazy with alcohol in the rainy night, staggering towards him.
To be precise, I heard this person speaking Annan dialect and howling like ghosts and wolves. Only a black shadow could be seen in the rainy night.
He immediately avoided it and took another road to avoid meeting this person.
That night, Cheng Qianfan slept more peacefully than ever before.
…
The next morning, Cheng Qianfan got up very early, opened the curtains, and saw the long-lost sunshine.
I bought Liu Ada’s Chaos and was half full after eating it.
I washed my face again.
Facing the mirror of the wardrobe, the young and handsome man began to dress up.
Wearing a green cloth coat, fur-soled cloth shoes, and a pair of plain glasses.
He once went to dance at National Tongji University dressed like this, and a female student described it in the school magazine:
At today's dance, I met a strange male classmate by chance. When he put on an ordinary green cloth coat, he felt sublimated. The classmate's eyebrows were bright and beautiful... It's a pity that I couldn't become his dance partner...
He took off the black and white plaid scarf hanging in the corner and put it around his neck casually.
Opening the door, the hustle and bustle of the streets came to my face...
Today is a special day, he has extremely important things to do.
