Yu Street, the residence of Fang Jinghua, a senior official of the Hong Party’s Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee.
Fang Jinghua didn't dare to turn on the electric light and lit the oil lamp.
He poured Luo Liu a glass of water.
Luo Liu finished drinking a few big gulps and wiped his mouth.
"Secretary Fang, I have an important report."
"Comrade Huaishu, I have been waiting for you to come." Fang Jinghua asked directly, "Do you know the situation at the Marioyuqiao Pier?"
When Luo Liu heard Fang Jinghua mention the Fish Bridge Wharf, he showed sadness on his face.
"I'm at the scene." Luo Liu nodded, "It was also the information I had sent to No. 3 Yulu Lane that had spies."
Fang Jinghua nodded. As expected, he had previously guessed whether the "Huaishu" had passed the information from the dock to Meng Qiang.
"What the hell is going on?" Fang Jinghua asked in a deep voice, "How come there are so many spies at the pier? Is your spy department setting up an ambush?"
"No." Luo Liu shook his head, "The Hangzhou Special Service received an order to set up an ambush at the dock and arrest the Japanese who came from the puppet Manchukuo."
"Catch the Japanese specialists from the puppet Manchukuo?" Fang Jinghua was surprised. He immediately thought of the traitor Wen Changjian, "Is it the Japanese specialists among the passengers waiting to capture the passenger ship?"
"No, as far as I know, the target has arrived in Hangzhou. The information shows that they will come to the dock, so we lie there in ambush according to the instructions to prepare for arrest." Luo Liu said.
Arrived in Hangzhou?
Not a passenger on the arrival of the passenger ship.
Fang Jinghua was thinking, this did not match the information he received. Could it be that the secret service was not Wen Changjian and his group to arrest?
But are other members of the Japanese special organization?
...
"The person who set up an ambush to arrest Gao Lan and others was from the Party Investigation Office." Luo Liu continued.
"I didn't know where the Party Investigation Office set up an ambush before. I saw Gao Lan and several comrades at the dock. I was worried that the people from the secret service would notice Gao Lan and others, so I sent information to No. 3 of Yulu Lane and asked them to contact Gao Lan and notify Gao Lan to evacuate."
"The intelligence was spread, and I later noticed that the people from the Party Investigation Office were also at the dock."
Speaking of this, Luo Liu showed a painful expression, "I don't know that No. 3 of Yulu Lane cannot contact his superiors, so he can only choose that way to warn him, otherwise..."
He didn't say "or else" what to do, but Fang Jinghua understood Luo Liu's meaning.
He patted Luo Liu on the shoulder, "Comrade Huaishu, don't feel guilty, your choice is right, your task is to lurk in the secret service office, without organizational orders, you cannot be exposed."
"But that comrade died like that." Luo Liu's eyes turned red, "He died like that. He still has his wife and children, he..."
He couldn't continue to say anything.
"Yes, I just sacrificed this way." Fang Jinghua's eyes were wet and she sighed.
He was also in pain, but he had no choice. This was the cruelty of underground struggle.
...
"What do you mean is that the Party Affairs Investigation Office knew that Gao Lan would go to the wharf, so it was setting up an ambush?" Fang Jinghua asked.
"According to my guess, this should be the case." Luo Liu thought for a while and said, "He Huan, the political director of the Party Investigation Office, led the team personally, unlike a temporary encounter, but was aimed at a clear goal."
Fang Jinghua's expression was extremely serious.
If Comrade ‘Huaishu’ guess is correct, this problem will be serious.
The Municipal Party Committee had just held a meeting last night and arranged for Comrade Gao Lan to go to the wharf to eliminate the traitors.
The Party Investigation Office actually got the news so quickly and set up a trap.
What does this mean?
It means that there are very likely lurking spies from the Party Investigation Department within the organization!
Realizing this, Fang Jinghua sweated coldly on her back.
The enemy was lurking so deeply that they had touched the threshold of the municipal party committee, and the problem was extremely serious.
"Secretary Fang, do you doubt it?"
"Yes, I suspect there are spies within the organization." Fang Jinghua also noticed Luo Liu when he saw that he did not hide it, and admitted it directly.
"Spy!" speculation was confirmed, and Luo Liu was also extremely shocked.
"Yes, spy, or maybe a traitor." Fang Jinghua said in a deep voice.
"What do I need to do?"
"I will investigate this matter, and you will pay attention to it." Fang Jinghua said.
The Secret Service and the Party Investigation Office are both spies from the National Party. Luo Liu has a certain chance to detect the news, but this opportunity will not be too great. These two spies are doing their own things and have great conflicts. It is difficult for one party to investigate the hiddenness of the other party.
...
"I understand." Luo Liu nodded. At this time, he suddenly asked, "Secretary Fang, is there a comrade in the organization code-named "Butterfly Flower"?"
Fang Jinghua's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were extremely sharp, "Comrade Huaishu, why did you ask this?"
"It seems that there is such a comrade!"
"'Comrade Huaishu'! This is not something you should ask about." Fang Jinghua said sternly, "Tell me why you asked this?"
Luo Liu did not speak, but took out the envelope from his body solemnly.
"What's this?"
"Just an hour ago, someone knocked on my door and threw it in through the crack of the door." Luo Liu said.
After hearing this, Fang Jinghua was shocked.
Comrade ‘Huaishu’ is an ace agent arranged by the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee to invade the enemy. Except for Fang Jinghua knows the identity of ‘Huaishu’, no one in the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee knows.
Someone actually sent a letter to the "Lotus Tree" late at night!
What does this mean?
The ‘Lotus Tree’ is exposed!
No, it should be said that an unknown person learned the identity of "Huaishu".
Fang Jinghua's migraine attack broke out again, and his expression was painful.
Operation dock failed.
Meng Qiang died.
The Party Affairs Investigation Department set up an ambush at the wharf.
There are very likely traitors within the organization.
The identity of "Huaishu" is very likely to be known by unknown outsiders.
This series of things happened one after another within this day, and Fang Jinghua felt a little confused.
...
He didn't say anything, took out the note from the envelope and looked at it carefully:
The traitor Wen Changjian has arrived in Hangzhou by land. The passenger ship is a special trap every day, and the butterfly flower is the enemy's target, so it can be transferred quickly!
The characters are ugly, written in pencil, just like words written by elementary school students.
What brought to Fang Jinghua was like thunder.
Wen Changjian had actually arrived by land.
The passenger ship was actually a trap.
All of this is a conspiracy of Japanese spies, and its goal is to come for the "Butterfly Flower"!
Fang Jinghua immediately understood that the goal was ‘butterfly flower’ and the ultimate goal was the codebook.
The enemy actually knew about the "Butterfly Flower" and the password book!
This must have been provided by Wen Changjian to the enemy.
This traitor Wen Changjian is shameful and hateful!
