The rain has stopped, and the autumn after the rain always feels a little desolate.
Jingle bell, jingle bell.
The last tram came slowly and stopped.
The crowd suppressed a large group of passengers. Passengers on the platform scrambled to get on the train. The crowded tram was like a can of sardines that had just been filled with sardines. It jingled, jingled, and drove away.
Cheng Qianfan was riding a foreign bicycle, wearing a peaked cap and a briefcase hanging on the handlebar. He was dressed like a poor man working the night shift and was running on the beach in Shanghai at night.
Zhou Ru is reading a book.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at it and saw it was "Lao Can's Travels".
Raising her eyelids and glancing at Inspector Xiao Cheng, Zhou Ru continued to read and recited softly: Horses and oxen work hard all the year round, but they can't eat more than stubble, and they have to be pushed to the end. It's hard work, but they don't know how to cry.
Dare to ask for salary.
what do you mean?
Cheng Qianfan glared at Zhou Ru.
Then he went directly into the little girl's bedroom and locked it.
Now was not the time to call Sheng Shuyu, so Cheng Qianfan chose to report directly to the headquarters in Xufuxiang, Nanjing.
He believed that there must be a 24-hour communication channel between the Nanjing headquarters and Dai Chuzuo in Shanghai. If he sent the telegram to Xu Fuxiang, the headquarters would naturally forward it to Dai Chuzuo.
This telegram mainly reported the situation he had just learned about Nishida Masao.
"Xitian has assumed the new post of general affairs squad leader of the Shanghai Expeditionary Forces Secret Service Department. He intends to integrate the pro-Japanese forces in the concession, strengthen the control of the concession, and prepare for the strengthening of public security after the Japanese occupation of Shanghai."
After sending the telegram and coming out of the bedroom, Cheng Qianfan and Zhou Ru said hello and were about to leave.
In the little girl's angry eyes, Inspector Xiao Cheng laughed, took out his wallet, counted out eighty-five yuan in French currency, and handed it to Zhou Ru.
This is Zhou Ru’s activity funds for this month.
The little girl immediately took it with a smile on her face.
Cheng Qianfan counted out another fifteen yuan of French currency and handed it over, "Buy some cosmetics and dress up nicely so that others don't have to worry about what I want to eat."
If it were normal, Zhou Ru would definitely be grinning and would not get along well with him.
Now Zhou Ru took the money unceremoniously, put it away happily, and continued reading, ignoring the teasing of the unscrupulous team leader.
Cheng Qianfan felt bored, smiled, opened the door, closed the door, and left.
After Inspector Xiao Cheng left, Zhou Ru blushed and sighed.
Returning to the bedroom, she checked carefully and confirmed that the team leader had hidden the radio station. Then she yawned and went to bed to rest.
Cheng Qianfan is now basically responsible for the telegrams between the Blue Bird and the headquarters. She is mainly responsible for the telegrams from the Shanghai Special Situation Team, which has also reduced Zhou Ru's workload a lot.
…
After leaving Father Jin Road, Cheng Qianfan rode a foreign car, deliberately skipping the road, and after confirming that no one was following him, he arrived at the safe house on Desdelang Road.
After checking, the doors and windows were in good condition and had not been visited by break-ins.
Taking out the charter machine from the secret compartment, putting on the headphones, Cheng Qianfan sent a report to the northwest headquarters.
The content of the telegram was similar to that sent to Nanjing.
The Japanese began to strengthen their penetration and control of the concession, and increased their efforts to recruit traitors. This would bring great inconvenience and security threats to our party's hiding and activities in the concession. He must immediately alert the headquarters.
Of course, Cheng Qianfan could also report this matter directly to Peng Yuou.
However, he chose to report to the headquarters, which will coordinate and guide the work of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee and Shanghai local party organizations. This was also for safety reasons.
Even if the Japanese side or the national government later learns that someone has warned the Shanghai party organization in advance, because the warning comes from the northwest headquarters, this can confuse the enemy to the greatest extent and turn the enemy's suspicious eyes to the northwest instead of focusing on Shanghai itself.
.
Cheng Qianfan has not yet reported to Nanjing and Northwest China about the short, fat man in his fifties who appeared at Imamura Hyōtaro's home.
There was extremely little information about this person, and he planned to report back after finding something.
This is also to protect himself. Once the intelligence is handed over, the organization and the government will conduct a high-profile investigation, but it will alert the snake. If this person has just arrived in Shanghai, or is a Japanese agent who has been hiding deeply before, he has not been exposed.
, suddenly attracting the attention of China will inevitably arouse investigation and suspicion from Japan.
Comrade "Xiangwu" delegated enough power to him and allowed him to have a certain degree of autonomy in intelligence. Comrade "Xiangwu" who founded Special Branch was well aware of the difficulties of underground lurkers, and special treatment should be given to special circumstances and must not be dogmatic.
Of course, if after careful consideration, Cheng Qianfan believes that although it is unconfirmed information, he needs to seek help from the organization to investigate someone or something, that is a different matter.
…
Yanzhou.
The heavy rain during the day has stopped, and the night is dark.
The telecommunications section of the Northwest Security Bureau is brightly lit.
A telecommunications staff handed the telegram they had just received to Lu Wenhua.
Lu Wenhua glanced at it with a solemn expression.
This is a top-secret telegram from the Shanghai Huo Miao.
'Huo Miao' is an intelligence officer directly controlled by Comrade Xiang Wu. The code book of the telegram is only controlled by Comrade 'Xiang Wu' and Comrade 'Farmer'. He only knows the code name of the comrade, even if it is just the code name of 'Huo Miao'
It is also highly confidential. He is the only one in the entire telecommunications department who knows the code name.
Arriving at the cave dwelling next door, Lu Wenhua turned on the radio. He personally forwarded the encrypted telegram to Comrade Xiang Wu in Nanjing, who would translate and process it.
Also in Yanzhou.
A leader of the Northwest Security Bureau secretly summoned Fang Muheng.
"Comrade Muheng, are you from Shanghai?" The director poured a glass of water for Fang Muheng and asked kindly.
"Yes, Director, I am from Shanghai." Fang Muheng said. He was surprised and didn't know why the Security Bureau secretly called him here at night.
"Have you ever considered working in your hometown?" the director asked.
"Ah?" Fang Muheng was slightly stunned. He didn't realize what the director meant.
"That's it." The director said with a gentle expression, "Our party has reached a preliminary consensus with the Kuomintang. The red armed forces of our party in the eight southern provinces will be officially reorganized into the new Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army."
"The main task of the new Fourth Army is to carry out the anti-Japanese struggle in the south. Organizationally, we are preparing to transfer some comrades from the south to support the work of the new Fourth Army." The director paused and said, "Comrade Mu Heng, you are a very special person.
You are a good comrade who is enthusiastic, capable and trustworthy. The Anti-Japanese Propaganda Brigade has recommended you. I would like to hear your personal opinions."
"I resolutely obey the organization's decision." Fang Muheng stood up immediately and replied solemnly.
"Very good." The director nodded happily, "Comrade Xie Ruonan from your anti-Japanese propaganda team is also on the list. The organization will arrange for you two to pretend to be a couple and sneak back to Shanghai in the name of husband and wife.
We gathered together with an important leading comrade, followed this comrade's arrangements, and went to our red armed garrison to participate in the reorganization of the troops and anti-Japanese propaganda work."
"Of course, this comrade may have specific arrangements for the specific work." The director looked at Fang Muheng, "Comrade Mu Heng, do you have any questions?"
"No problem." Fang Muheng said firmly, "Resolutely obey the organization's arrangements." (To be continued)
