Fang Jinghua immediately realized that the only way Wen Changjian could learn about the codename "Butterfly Flower" and the code book was through Huang Lei.
Wen Changjian is Huang Lei's traffic officer.
The code book matter is a task assigned by the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee.
In order to keep confidentiality, Fang Jinghua did not participate in the specific work. He directly handed it over to Huang Lei for operation.
Huang Lei is a member of the Municipal Party Committee.
‘Butterfly Flower’ is Huang Lei’s old comrade-in-arms. Only Huang Lei knows the true identity of Butterfly Flower. Even Fang Jinghua only knows the code name ‘Butterfly Flower’ and has never met him in person.
"This old man!" Fang Jinghua looked gloomy and complained in his heart.
He was extremely angry inside.
Huang Lei cannot be a traitor.
He believed that this was an old comrade who had been tested for a long time and was trustworthy.
The most important thing is that if there was a problem with Huang Lei, the entire Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee and even most of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee would have been wiped out by spies.
The most likely reason for this incident is that Huang Lei failed to keep it secret, and Wen Changjian, who was still working in Hangzhou at the time, learned about it accidentally through some means or even some opportunity.
Then, this confidential information was used by the traitor Wen Changjian as a basis for begging for mercy and claiming credit from the Japanese.
This is why you must always be careful and cautious when working underground:
Sometimes, a document or piece of paper is not destroyed in time.
Or maybe it was just a sentence that was said casually without careful thought.
Secrets may be exposed.
It brings great security risks to individuals and even organizations.
…
An old comrade made such a serious mistake.
Fang Jinghua was shocked and angry.
Fortunately, he received this information in time and learned about the enemy's conspiracy. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Who sent the letter to Comrade "Huaishu"?
Fang Jinghua picked up the envelope.
This is an ordinary kraft paper envelope, the kind you can buy on the market.
The name on the back of the envelope is Hangzhou Sanyuan Printing Factory.
This is a famous local printing factory in Hangzhou.
No useful information was obtained from the envelope.
The paper on which the information was written was cut from the most ordinary white paper and had no direction.
The words on the note were written in pencil.
The handwriting is ugly.
This is for reference, as the other party may not have a high level of education.
Of course, the most likely possibility is that the person deliberately wrote such a doggy handwriting, which would be difficult to trace.
…
"Secretary Fang, are you thinking about how to track down the person who sent the message?" Luo Liu asked.
"Well, do you have any suggestions?" Fang Jinghua said.
"The other party can obtain such confidential information." Luo Liu said, "This person must be deeply hidden, and his position is of vital importance."
"In addition, the other party actually knows my identity. He should be someone I am familiar with, or someone who is familiar with me."
"You mean, you have worked together for a long time?" Fang Jinghua asked immediately.
"It's very possible." Luo Liu nodded and continued, "The matter described in the intelligence is of great importance. Ordinary intelligence officers have no ability to handle it in time. He warned me and must have known that I could contact the municipal party committee."
"So, your guess is that this is one of our own comrades, a comrade who knows you very well."
"Yes." Luo Liu nodded, "Most likely he is a comrade placed in a key position within the enemy by the provincial party committee."
Fang Jinghua was deep in thought, Comrade ‘Huaishu’’s speculation was very possible.
In the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee, he was the only one who knew Comrade "Huaishu", but there was another leading comrade in the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee who knew the existence of Comrade "Huaishu".
This leading comrade is an old veteran of the secret front. It would make sense to say that he placed our party's ace agent in an important position inside the enemy.
"Secretary Fang, my personal suggestion is not to investigate this matter anymore." Luo Liu said, "This comrade is not in the same intelligence line as us. He warned us, which is very likely to bring harm to himself.
To make a dangerous move."
"If we pursue this matter, it may pose a threat to his safety." Luo Liu said in a serious tone, "Secretary Fang, because I am hiding within the enemy, so I have the most say."
"I am walking on thin ice all the time now. This comrade is hidden deeper, his position is more important, and his situation is definitely more difficult." Luo Liu continued, "We must protect this comrade."
"Yes, Comrade 'Huaishu', it's not easy for you and other comrades lurking inside the enemy." Fang Jinghua nodded, and he handed the note directly over the lampshade, and the note was lit.
, threw it into the brazier, and quickly burned to ashes.
"This matter will be kept strictly confidential." Fang Jinghua picked up a broken chopstick, scattered the ashes, and said, "Just pretend this never happened."
"clear."
Fang Jinghua nodded. He actually had some guesses about the identity of this comrade.
Judging from the content and tone of the intelligence.
This should be a comrade who has been lurking in a Japanese secret service for a long time.
This old leader of the Provincial Party Committee is indeed a veteran agent. He was able to arrange for our party's agents to lurk in the Japanese special agencies in advance. It's amazing!
…
"Atsushi, eat slowly, don't choke." Cheng Qianfan looked at Kawada Atsushi who was devouring his food and said.
The leftovers he packed back last night were put to use.
After snoring into the stomach of Kawada Atsuto, a strange reaction will occur and it will turn into a reincarnation of grains and return to the earth.
"I said, listen." Cheng Qianfan said.
Kawada Atsuto, who was full, rubbed his belly and nodded.
"I am going to the Japanese Concession to find Major Okada Toshihiko. You stay here and don't move around."
"I'll go to bed later." Kawada Atsuhito sighed and said. He glanced at the bed, his eyes full of longing.
Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but be speechless. He really had no vigilance or consciousness as a spy.
Such a Nite, who can be said to be the weakest one among Kawada Nagakichi's group, was actually escaped by him alone. It's really...
God favored him Cheng Qianfan.
"One more thing." Cheng Qianfan looked serious.
"Miyazaki-kun, please tell me."
"Atsushi, you remember." Cheng Qianfan said slowly, "it was Mr. Kawada who ordered you to escape from the Yang Mansion. You are the genius of the Kawada family and the pride of the Kawada family. Mr. Kawada will not allow you to fall. He
Arranging for your escape is an act of love and care from a family elder to a younger member of the family."
Kawada Atsuto was stunned for a moment. Although he was a rookie agent, he was not stupid. He quickly understood the meaning of Cheng Qianfan's words and why Cheng Qianfan asked him to say this.
This is to shirk responsibility (whitewash) for him.
Also saving him.
Save the Kawada family's reputation.
The Kawada family should not appear, let alone a deserter who is greedy for life and afraid of death!
"You are right, Miyazaki-kun." Atsuto Kawada immediately stood up and said extremely seriously, "When my uncle is in the most dangerous moment, the last thing he thinks of is to protect me, my most beloved uncle."
Cheng Qianfan's heart was messy. He originally thought Atsushi Kawada would disagree.
This is the pride and self-esteem of a young member of a big family.
He was still thinking about how to persuade Kawada Atsuto to agree.
I didn't expect this guy to be so shameless...
Also, for a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, after going through such a situation, pride and self-esteem are nothing.
"Yes, this is Mr. Kawada. He has devoted himself to the Empire of Japan. It is inevitable that he will have a little selfishness at the most critical moment, but..." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "This is an admirable selfishness. This is a family patriarch.
The responsibility of the person.”
"Uncle found a close friend in Miyazaki-kun and died in peace." Kawada Atsuhito said with tears streaming down his face and nodding his head.
Cheng Qianfan: [Your uncle is not dead yet...]
At the same time, in the Okada Mansion in the Japanese Concession, the lights were brightly lit.
"Is there no news about Kawada-kun yet?" Okada Toshihiko's face was gloomy. He always paid attention to military appearance. His buttons were unbuttoned, his uniform was half open, and broken porcelain fragments were everywhere on the ground.
