Cheng Qianfan gave the wonton stall owner a cigarette.
The stall owner happily accepted it, sniffed it, and put it behind his ear reluctantly.
He no longer minded that Cheng Qianfan was still occupying the bench after finishing his meal.
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette for himself, sat on a chair, leaned against the corner, and took a puff of it, like a man basking in the sun.
It only took Yu Pingan one night to find out the identity of Kawada Nagakichi.
Cheng Qianfan was shocked and frightened by the work efficiency of the Secret Service.
He realized that the Kuomintang's spy organization had a wide coverage and strong capabilities.
Why did Kawada Nagakichi come to sell Yuqiao Pier?
Is there anything here worthy of Kawashima Nagakichi's attention or plot?
Kawada Nagakichi was Kenji Doihara's assistant, and his status was even higher than Toshihiko Okada, the military attaché of the Japanese Concession in Hangzhou.
Kawada Nagakichi, who can make the journey tiring and has a "noble status", came here non-stop on the second day after arriving in Hangzhou...
Yu Ping'an hinted that he was "very close" to He Qichen.
Cheng Qianfan understood the meaning of "how close".
He Qichen is the captain of the Hangzhou District Action Team of the Secret Service.
One of the two is a senior member of the Secret Service's headquarters, and the other is a local powerful figure in the Secret Service.
Is it a power struggle within the Secret Service?
Or is there something really wrong with He Qichen?
And why would you arrange for yourself, a student in the special training class, to do this?
These questions were swirling in Cheng Qianfan's mind, making him a little upset, especially Yu He's previous fight, Cheng Qianfan did not want to participate in it.
He just came to Hangzhou for training. After graduating from the special training class, he will return to Shanghai.
These were things that he, a newly recruited agent of the Secret Service, could not get involved with.
The most important thing is that he is not a close confidant of Yu Pingan. If something goes wrong, Cheng Qianfan has no doubt that Yu Pingan will be the first to break off the relationship, and will even take the initiative to kill him to show that he has nothing to do with it.
…
On the west side of Maiyuqiao Pier, there is a three-story teahouse.
The private room on the third floor of the tea house was booked early in the morning by Yang Wanwan, a wealthy man from Hangzhou.
Yang Wanwan didn't come in person, but his housekeeper took Yang Wanwan's name card to book the place.
The shopkeeper has been instructed to serve tea and snacks, but other than that, he must not disturb the distinguished guests.
"Mr. Kawada..." Wen Changjian, who was wearing small round glasses, just started to speak, and saw Kawada Yongji frown, and immediately patted his mouth gently, "Mr. Zhou, try this osmanthus cake, it's glutinous.
Does not stick to teeth.”
Kawada Yongji nodded, picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and said with a satisfied look, "It's very good. China is a vast land with rich resources and a splendid civilization. When it comes to food, there are so many cuisines. Even a snack is delicious.
Amazing.”
"Yes, so many beautiful things will soon belong to our Empire of Japan." Someone pushed the door open, walked to the table and sat down unceremoniously, and whispered.
"Sanbon-kun, have everything been arranged?" Kawada Nagakichi asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Kawada, as long as the Red Party appears, it will be impossible to escape." Sanben said in a deep voice.
"Tea instead of wine, thank you." Kawada Eikichi and Sanbon clinked glasses, and they laughed. It was obvious that they were in tit-for-tat at yesterday's dinner.
…
"Kawada-kun, I don't understand why you didn't tell Major Okada the real plan?"
"Okada-kun is the military attaché of the Japanese Concession. He has always been a key surveillance target of the Kuomintang Secret Service." Kawada Nagakichi shook his head, "If he gets involved, the chance of being targeted by the Secret Service will greatly increase."
"I understand." Sanben nodded in admiration.
"Mr. Wen." Kawada Yongji stood up and poured a cup of tea for Wen Changjian himself.
Wen Changjian was flattered. He was deeply moved that Kawada Nagakichi saved face for him in front of 'outsiders', and he stood up quickly.
"We must catch the butterfly flower within three days." Kawada Nagakichi said in a deep voice, "Ask for the code book. The Manchurian side is ready and waiting for the good news of our victory."
As he said that, he bowed to Wen Changjian and said, "Mr. Wen, please."
Wen Changjian quickly bowed and responded, "Don't worry, as long as we can catch Huang Lei today, we can catch Butterfly Flower through him."
"What if this Huang Lei doesn't show up today?" Sanben asked coldly.
"Mr. Miki, I am 90% sure that he will appear." Wen Changjian said, "Huang Lei is my introducer to join the party and my old superior. He must now hate me deeply for abandoning the dark side and turning to the dark side. With me treating him
He will appear if there is no unexpected situation."
After a pause, Wen Changjian carefully took a sip of tea. Seeing Kawada Nagakichi's encouraging eyes, he was shocked and continued, "Even if Huang Lei didn't show up, the red party who came to kill me today must be an important member of the Hangzhou Municipal Committee of the Red Party."
As long as we catch this person, we can ask him for Huang Lei’s new address. I don’t believe he won’t ask.”
Wen Changjian was convinced of this. He had personally been tortured by the Manchurian Railway Investigation Division. It was simply unbearable and no one could resist speaking out.
At this time, Wen Changjian selectively forgot about Feng Jiazhang and Li Dingyun, who were tortured after being betrayed by him, but remained steadfast and unyielding, and finally died heroically.
Kawada Yongji nodded with satisfaction. He liked Wen Changjian's attitude very much.
After this Chinese man was caught in Manchuria, he was a die-hard at first and refused to speak. After two days of interrogation, he finally couldn't stand it and spoke.
What surprised Kawada Nagakichi was that once he decided to confess, this person behaved one after another, and his temperament was completely different:
He likes this change and it gives him a sense of accomplishment.
Wen Changjian reported an important piece of information. He was from the Hangzhou Red Party who came to support the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements. He also came with a telegraph operator who carried the latest code book.
The author of the codebook was codenamed "Butterfly Flower". Wen Changjian did not know this person, but his old superior Huang Lei knew this person.
As long as I can capture the butterfly flower and get the code book.
The Manchurian garrison in Kwantung can capture the traces of anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese violent elements, and can even set up a trap to attract Yang Zhijun's troops, thus "catching a turtle in a urn".
In one fell swoop, Yang Zhijun, a serious nuisance, was eliminated.
…
The Qiantang River is sparkling. This mother river of Zhejiang has already begun her busy day.
Cargo sailing ship on the river.
It is wider and thicker than ordinary cargo ships, and its oars are also thicker.
It is difficult to control the boat while standing on the board, so you need to stand on a wooden frame.
The boatmen shouted chants and rowed vigorously.
The Qiantang River has a complex water system and cannot pass ocean liners, so many ocean liners will arrive in Shanghai first.
Passengers who have purchased a pass will be arranged by the shipping company to transfer to a 30 to 40-ton river passenger ferry that can pass on the Qiantang River.
Cheng Qianfan stared thoughtfully at the passenger ship approaching in the distance.
Is Kawada Nagakichi coming for a certain passenger ship that arrived at the dock today?
