My years of espionage

Chapter 125 British Coffee Tea House (recommended ticket for monthly ticket collection)

Hearing Cheng Qianfan's order to bring weapons.

Haozai nodded, took out a cloth bag from under the bed, opened it, it was a Mauser C96 shell rifle, and took a spare magazine and put it in his pocket.

Cheng Qianfan glanced at it. The advantage of the Mauser pistol is that it is relatively common, and it is almost impossible to check people with a gun. It also has the characteristics of strong firepower.

The downside is that the gun body is wide, which is not very conducive to concealment.

In fact, the most suitable for agents to use is a relatively small revolver, but this gun is more difficult to obtain.

However, in Greater Shanghai, as long as you want, as long as you have money, you can get anything from the black market.

The United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries are widely equipped with Webley .455in revolver and Webley .38in revolver.

The British army was very dissatisfied with the range of these two guns. There was a saying in the mouth of the British that "if you can shoot a 50-yard target with the damn Webley revolver, I guarantee you can use the Lee. Field shot the target from 800 yards."

In Cheng Qianfan's view, the British are hypocritical. Of course, the British are currently the world's most powerful country with a strong military industry, so they have the capital to be hypocritical.

He planned to get some Webley revolvers from the black market in the Anglo-American International Settlement in the future.

The Indian patrols in the British and American concessions are rather strange. They will 'scrap' their revolvers for various reasons, and then these brand new revolvers will soon flow into the black market.

……

French Concession, Xiafei District, No. 34 Xiafei Road.

This is a beautiful western-style building facing the street. The owner of the store had a great idea and divided the store into two, one side is a coffee shop, and the other side is a tea shop.

The copper signboard is engraved: British coffee and tea.

It's obvious from the signboard.

It not only meets the needs of small bourgeois who pursue a Western-style life, but also attracts Chinese people who are keen on traditional teahouses.

On the afternoon of leaving Hangzhou, after obtaining Yu Ping'an's permission, he "arrogated" Eguchi Hideya again.

Eguchi Ying also mentioned a detail.

Before being sent to Hangzhou to carry out the mission, Inoue Mansion arranged for him to apply for a job as a waiter in this tea shop to learn how to be a new tea shop waiter.

In fact, the Hengrun teahouse in Hangzhou advertised itself as a new style teahouse, with the aim of attracting the favor of some officials and their wives who pursue Western life.

Cheng Qianfan thought to himself, there are two possibilities.

This English tea shop has nothing to do with Nitto, Eguchi Ei only came here to 'learn from a teacher'.

However, this possibility is extremely low. The biggest possibility is that there are Japanese shadows behind this new style tea shop that flaunts the British style.

Before leaving Hangzhou, Yu Pingan entrusted Cheng Qianfan's latent team with the task of investigating this tea shop in Shanghai.

This was also the first task that Cheng Qianfan's team actually received.

……

"How is it?" Cheng Qianfan asked, he was paying attention to Haozai.

He led Haozai around the tea shop cautiously.

"It's not quite right," Haozai said.

"Tell me."

"There are two more side doors."

Cheng Qianfan nodded, Haozai was indeed very clever and observant.

Generally speaking, the conventional configuration is one front door and one back door is enough.

This British coffee tea shop is on both sides of the back street, and has two small, even somewhat hidden side doors. If you don't observe carefully, few people will notice this.

After coming out of one of the side doors, turn left and you will find a small alley, through which you will find a small river.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the shop owner has eccentricities.

However, this situation is more intriguing in the eyes of the agent:
The biggest advantage of this layout is that it is easy to evacuate.

"Get out!" Cheng Qianfan saw a group of patrolmen coming from afar, he said softly to Haozai, the two of them walked into a small alley and quickly disappeared into the night.

Cheng Qianfan took Haozai back to the safe house.

"Starting tomorrow, keep an eye on this tea shop." Cheng Qianfan ordered, "Find out who the owner of this tea shop is, where he often goes, and who he contacts."

"clear."

"Don't bring a weapon." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Haozai, "I will send you an ID card tomorrow."

The reason why I brought weapons today is because the night investigation situation is unclear. In case of an unexpected situation, for example, the other party just happens to take action and a sudden encounter occurs, it will be more troublesome.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

During the day, there is no need for spying.

……

Cheng Qianfan always felt that this tea shop was a bit weird, not only because of Eguchi Hideya's confession.

tea shop.

A flash of light flashed through his mind.

The Rite Huang San that Lao Mo confessed to ran a pharmacy. The name of the pharmacy was 'Baicao Medicine Shop', and its location was also on Xiafei Road.

Is there a secret connection between this 'Hundred Herbal Medicine Shop' and this British coffee and tea shop?

The token found from Lao Mo was, as expected, the identity plate issued by the Inoue Mansion to the traitor.

The Hiroshi Endo group is affiliated with the Inoue Mansion.

The two shops that seemed to have no connection at first, after such a thorough analysis, there is a hidden connection line.

For a long time, although he has grasped the information of Huang San's "Hundred Herbal Medicine Shop" and the Huichang Tea House in the Town God's Temple, these two special strongholds.

However, due to security concerns, Cheng Qianfan never found an opportunity to 'put the information on the table'.

Because he couldn't explain the source of the intelligence.

Now, it seems that there is such an opportunity.

……

Ma Sinan Road.

Peng and Ou were not asleep yet.

As a senior official of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Red Party, the pressure on his shoulders is too great.

Especially the fact that Zhuang Ze had rebelled and was almost arranged by the Party Affairs Investigation Office to infiltrate the Red Party, which shocked Peng Yuou into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Comrade 'Xinghuo' warned the police in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Now, the reason why he has been unable to sleep peacefully is that Comrade 'Xinghuo'.

More than a month has passed since that warning, and Comrade 'Xinghuo' has never contacted the organization again.

This made Peng Yuou extremely worried.

The organization has tried its best to cover up and charged Zhuang Ze as a "traitor" in order to protect this source of information.

Has the organizational cover-up been seen through by the enemy?

Comrade 'Spark' in danger?

As for the identity of 'Xinghuo', Peng and Ou had some guesses. Their intuition told him that this 'Xinghuo' comrade should be Lao Liao's upline, and the ace agent who arranged for Comrade 'Zhulin' to break into the enemy's interior before his death.

Organizationally, it is not easy to train such an ace agent.

If this comrade was damaged or sacrificed because of this incident, Peng Yuou would be extremely heartbroken, and he would not be able to forgive himself.

If he fails to protect his comrades, he will feel that it is his own dereliction of duty.

……

The next day, the morning sun flooded the earth.

Cheng Qianfan changed into a clean and tidy police uniform, looked carefully in the mirror, he was a handsome young man.

I ate Liu Ada's wontons.

Say hello to the neighbors, and prepare to go to the central patrol room at No. 22 Xue Huali Road.

"Brother Fan, save me." The half-sized boy ran back from the alley and threw himself on Cheng Qianfan.

Cheng Qianfan skillfully put half a child on the ground, laughed and walked away.

There was a mournful cry from behind: Brother Fan, you are hurting me again.

　Thank you very much [777 Wufeng 777] for the reward of 100 starting coins.

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation tickets, ask for monthly tickets, ask for rewards, thank you.

Subconsciously, it's 12 o'clock, sweat...
