"The Kanto Prefecture side investigated forward and identified a suspect." Hyōtaro Imamura said.
Cheng Qianfan immediately showed excitement.
"According to Araki Kazunari's investigation, this person had relatively frequent contact with the Soviet Russian Consulate. In this way, this person came into the sight of the Kanto Prefecture Extracurricular Affairs Class." Hyōtaro Imamura said.
"The foreign affairs class hired a Belarusian and tried to attract this person to the network."
Cheng Qianfan listened attentively and nodded slightly.
Japan has always regarded Soviet Russia as its biggest imaginary enemy in the north. Therefore, Japan has always had the habit of hiring White Russians to do things, especially in Dalian, where the number of White Russians is very large.
These Russians had been overthrown as early as the October Revolution, so they had a deep hatred for Soviet Russia.
Since they lost their Soviet citizenship, they were called "White Russians" in the Northeast;
In order to attract these Belarusians to serve them, the Japanese government made special regulations: as long as you pay 500 yen, you can apply to go to Japan.
When the applicant goes to Japan, the Super High School Division will report the applicant's review status to the Military Police Headquarters and the Japanese Military Police Headquarters step by step, so that Japan can grasp the information and utilization value of these people.
Then select the suitable ones to serve the Japanese secret service.
According to Hyōtaro Imamura, this Belarusian pretending to be a Soviet-Russian agent had been wandering around Dalian Junction for nearly half a month. Not to mention finding a way to get close to the suspect, he had not even seen the suspect.
"Did the news leak?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and asked.
Hyōtaro Imamura shook his head, "At first, the foreign affairs team also suspected whether the news had been leaked. However, after investigation, we got ridiculous results."
He showed a dumbfounded expression, "This suspect named Xu Baihe died in the 11th year of Showa."
Xu Baihe!
After three years, Cheng Qianfan did not expect to hear this name again. This name he had heard from Dai Chunfeng before, this name of the martyr who together with Boss Tao dedicated his blood to this country.
"Did he die in the eleventh year of the Showa era?" Cheng Qianfan asked with emotions in his heart and a surprised expression on his face.
"Take a look." Hyōtaro Imamura took out a stack of documents from the drawer and handed them directly to Kentaro Miyazaki.
"Hai!"
…
Cheng Qianfan sat on a stool, reading the document very carefully, sometimes frowning or falling into thinking.
"finish watching?"
"yes!"
"Tell me what you think." Hyōtaro Imamura saw his student subconsciously touching the cigarettes in his pocket, so he smiled and signaled to Kentaro Miyazaki that he could smoke if he wanted to.
Cheng Qianfan was not polite to the 'teacher'. He first reached into his pocket, then retracted his hand, directly picked up the cigarette on Hyoutarou Imamura's desk, took out a cigarette, and then deliberately and discreetly put the cigarette case towards
I put it aside, then turned on the lighter, lit the cigarette, and took a nice puff.
Hyōtaro Imamura noticed his beloved disciple's little actions and didn't point it out, he just smiled.
"Judging from the archives, Xu Baihe and this military killer named Lu Weiran were ambushed by the Qingdao Super High School. Of course, at that time, they were still called the Fuxing Society Secret Service."
"In addition, Ouyang Lu, a member of the Fuxing Society's Secret Service who surrendered to the empire, also identified Xu Baihe as a member of the Lixing Society's Secret Service." Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, "So, Xu Baihe's Secret Service identity is certain. Could it be that this person is not only a member of the Secret Service?
Are they just people from the Secret Service, or are they spies from the Secret Service who have infiltrated the Red Party, or are they spies from the Red Party who have infiltrated the Secret Service?”
"Which one do you prefer?" Imamura Hyōtaro asked.
"Students are more inclined to think that Xu Baihe is a Red Party member, and was arranged by the Red Party to secretly break into the Lixingshe Secret Service." Cheng Qianfan said. At this moment, he was extremely shocked. He himself was also inclined to this idea.
Guess——
Xu Baihe, who died in Qingdao three years ago with his boss Xiaotao, was probably a staunch Bolshevik fighter?!
…
"Araki Kazunari has the same judgment as you." Imamura Hyoutarou nodded and said.
Although Xu Baihe died three years ago, death does not mean that this person has no value. On the contrary, an agent who did not reveal his identity until his death has too many secrets.
"The people in Guandong Prefecture believe that Xu Baihe is just a traffic officer or a spy who has infiltrated our internal network." Cheng Qianfan took a puff of his cigarette and walked slowly.
"To be precise, he was the traffic officer who used to be that mysterious man." Hyōtaro Imamura said.
"Ah, yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded and admired sincerely, "Teacher is as careful as his hair."
Xu Baihe is dead, and it is no longer possible to track the mysterious spy by tracking Xu Baihe's actions. Under this situation, Kippei Zaemon, the monitor of the Anti-espionage Class of Kanto Prefecture Super High School, found another way and put forward a suggestion.
Kihira Zaemon suggested continuing to investigate Xu Baihe, hoping to find clues about the mysterious spy from the clues.
He didn't think that the Red Party would just randomly arrange someone to be the transport courier for that mysterious and important agent.
There must be some special reason why Xu Baihe could be arranged to be this person's transportation officer. Either the two had worked together, had an intersection, were from the same hometown, or had some other connection.
Even in the 'worst' case, there is no contact between these two people before, but there must be an intermediary channel, and there is such a person that both of them are very familiar with.
In other words, it was a person who knew Xu Baihe's abilities very well and was familiar with Xu Baihe and the temperament of the mysterious spy who arranged for Xu Baihe to be his traffic officer.
Then, this hypothetical middleman may be Xu Baihe's upline or leader before he became the traffic officer of the mysterious spy.
If Xu Baihe and the mysterious spy have known each other for a long time, then they have known each other for a long time. Later, they will have more contact after becoming the upper and lower lines, and some clues will eventually be found.
If there is such a 'middleman', then by investigating Xu Baihe, we hope to find this person.
The method proposed by Kihira Zaemon is a stupid method, but if the stupid method is used well and the work is done carefully enough, there may often be unexpected gains.
…
Kitai Goichi, the head of the Kanto Prefecture Super High School Course, approved Kihira Zaemon's action and asked the Kanto Prefecture Special High School Special Class to cooperate.
This 'special class' is tasked with gathering information from ordinary people in Dalian.
The special high-level course requires the military police in the "special class" to first establish correct methods and overcome one-sidedness, superficiality and limitations when conducting intelligence activities.
The leader of the 'special class' Yu Ersheng Yinan carefully studied the traditional living habits of Dalian people, and after careful analysis, he warned his military police:
"Since the old warlord era, the Chinese people have had the habit of not talking about state affairs and keeping silent. Even to relatives and friends, except for those who are particularly trustworthy, they do not talk about political affairs.
Therefore, it will be very difficult for the military police to grasp the trend of people's hearts through the true feelings spoken by the people.
In this way, the military police will inevitably encounter obstacles caused by national habits in their intelligence gathering activities."
In order to overcome these obstacles, Ha Ersheng Kazuo asked his military police to carefully study the means and methods to eliminate this obstacle.
The specific method is - during reconnaissance, in addition to directly contacting the reconnaissance target and striving to gain trust and obtain information, the more important method is to establish and develop an intelligence network at the bottom of the public:
That is to say, listen to the voices of the people at the bottom of China and make friends with them, and then they will open their hearts to you.
It was through making friends with ordinary people that the military policeman who had a second son and a son found out from a former neighbor of Xu Baihe that this person had heard Xu Baihe chatting with a person in southern dialect that he could not understand.
This neighbor did not see the appearance of the person who was chatting with Xu Baihe, but he had the impression that Xu Baihe seemed to be very concerned about this and had once asked about it.
This little thing, or rather this detail, caught the attention of the Kanto Prefecture Special High School Class, and Yoshihira Zaemon was even more delighted.
The extra-high school class hired several people who spoke with southern Chinese accents to speak with southern accents in the next room, and then asked the neighbor to identify the sounds, especially to confirm some of the intonations.
Mathematics experts were also arranged to do the calculations.
The final conclusion was that this accent has the highest probability of being a Shanghainese accent, as high as 67%.
Then, after careful investigation, further discoveries were made:
Xu Baihe once lived in Shanghai for a period of time.
…
Cheng Qianfan's expression was shocked, with a bit of admiration, a bit of joy, and a bit of pride and pride in the shock.
"It's amazing," he said excitedly, "I discovered Xu Baihe's hidden experience through this method."
Yes, hidden experiences.
Xu Baihe has always behaved like a northern man in Dalian. No one knows that he has lived in Shanghai. Unless it is really necessary, this person does not need to hide this experience, unless this experience is very special and has some kind of meaning.
Directivity, or it may bring him safety risks - this is Araki Kazunari's analysis and judgment on this detail.
"Xu Baihe spoke to the mysterious man with a southern accent, so this person probably has life experience in southern China, and at least understands the southern accent." Cheng Qianfan said.
When he saw Hyōtaro Imamura coughing, he put out his cigarette butt and then gave the teacher some tea and water.
"Teacher, so the focus now is to investigate Xu Baihe's life and work experience in Shanghai?" Cheng Qianfan said, "See if he has come into contact with any special people or special things."
"Once there is someone Xu Baihe came into contact with in Shanghai, and there is such a person in Guandong State at the same time, then -" As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan's eyes became more excited, "Then, that shady rat will have nothing to do."
Escaped."
Imamura Hyoutaro nodded slightly. Miyazaki Kentaro's mind is still very smart and his reactions are quite sensitive.
"Student, there is one more thing that I don't understand." Cheng Qianfan suddenly frowned and asked.
"Say it."
"Kandong Prefecture can also conduct an internal investigation first to see who has the experience of coming to southern China." Cheng Qianfan said, "Generally speaking, there are not too many people who have this experience..."
Then, Cheng Qianfan looked at Hyōtaro Imamura's expression and shut up obediently. Although Hyōtaro Imamura didn't say anything, it was obvious that such a simple matter could not be ignored by Kanto Prefecture, although he didn't know what it was.
There is a reason, but obviously nothing can be found through this method.
…
After leaving Hyōtaro Imamura, Cheng Qianfan sat in the car, his expression a little tired.
"Brother Fan." Li Hao glanced at the rearview mirror.
"Go back to the hospital." Cheng Qianfan said.
Bai Ruolan's due date is within these two or three days, and Mr. Xiao Cheng has already asked Jin Kemu for leave.
These days, he basically stays in the hospital to accompany Bai Ruolan.
"yes."
From time to time in the public concession, Japanese military police patrolling the streets with long guns on their backs can be seen. Whether they are British or American, they have taken a step-by-step attitude towards Japan's aggressiveness.
Cheng Qianfan simply closed his eyes and fell asleep, out of sight and out of mind.
He was originally supposed to report the assassination of Chen Zhuan to Hyōtaro Imamura, but he did not expect to receive the task of investigating Xu Baihe's experience in Shanghai from Hyōtaro Imamura.
This matter even directly involves the life and death of our party's senior agents within a certain Japanese spy agency in Dalian. Cheng Qianfan cannot help but be extra vigilant and concerned about this matter.
In addition, there are many details that need to be considered in detail.
The first thing to bear the brunt is that the investigation of this case in Dalian was led by the Kanto Prefecture Super High School Division. If Kentaro Miyazaki was needed in Shanghai to help with the investigation, it should have been Mimotojiro who gave him the order, but now it is Imamura.
It was strange that Hyoutaro came to talk to him about this matter.
Cheng Qianfan once asked Imamura Hyōtaro unintentionally, but since Imamura Hyōtaro avoided talking, it was naturally difficult for him to ask again——
As a subordinate, you just follow orders and don't ask too many questions.
Cheng Qianfan's personal guess is that this matter was most likely not requested by the Kanto Prefecture Super High School from Shanghai through normal channels, but by Hyōtaro Imamura through private channels.
As for why the "Kandong Prefecture" Super High School prefers to ask Counselor Imamura of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai for help through personal relationships instead of calling the Shanghai Super High School for assistance through formal official channels, it is not known for the time being.
There is another point that makes Cheng Qianfan puzzled, or the more he thinks about it, the more problematic it becomes, and that is the relevant information about Xu Baihe.
To be precise, are they the confessions of Xu Baihe's colleagues in the Lixingshe Secret Service?
As a Red Party member, Xu Baihe's identity is hidden and he doesn't have much information.
However, Xu Baihe was ambushed as an agent of the Lixingshe Secret Service. This identity was not absolutely concealed, and the ambush itself was a trap set by the traitor Ouyang Lu of the Qingdao Station of the Lixingshe Secret Service.
A traitor like Ouyang Lu must know something about Xu Baihe, but Cheng Qianfan did not see any more relevant confessions.
Of course, it is also possible that the "Kandong Prefecture" Super High School believes that the relevant confidential information has nothing to do with Xu Baihe's Shanghai experience to be investigated, and there is no need to provide it to Shanghai.
Xu Baihe.
Xu Baihe.
Cheng Qianfan was thinking about the name of this fallen martyr, and suddenly, something moved in his heart.
