My years of espionage

Chapter 1477 Where is the enemy? (Good luck in the college entrance examination)
"You did the right thing." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly.

He did not accuse Taozi of being ruthless and leaving no one alive. From a safety perspective, Taozi's actions were blameless, or rather, should be praised.

As for Taozi's decisive action to wipe out the entire Yu family, it seems that there is only suspicion but no actual evidence. However, for time-tested ace agents like Cheng Qianfan and Taozi, their suspicions are enough to support them to do anything.

The underground anti-Japanese struggle is not like treating people to a meal; it is an extremely cruel struggle. Any fluke mentality is unacceptable. When facing danger, or when you sense danger, no matter how cautious you are, it is not too cautious.

"The film was destroyed?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"It's destroyed." Taozi said, "Except for the photo of me, the rest of the film is of landscapes and people."

He said to Cheng Qianfan, "There are no clues found from the film itself."

Cheng Qianfan nodded. Yu Guanming was a veteran agent of the Lixing Society. He was very cautious in his work and the film itself would not leave any clues.

Of course, it is precisely because Yu Guanming is a cautious and experienced undercover agent that his abnormal behavior is even more suspicious.

……

"What do you think about this matter?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"Yu Guanming is a very cautious person. Logically speaking, even if he has problems, he shouldn't make mistakes that are easily detected by us." Qiao Chuntao said thoughtfully.

"But the fact is, he was exposed," said Cheng Qianfan.

"Yes, Virgo." Taozi said, "So, I personally tend to think that Yu Guanming is very anxious, and he was so anxious that he revealed his true colors."

"Was he coerced?" Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.

"It's very likely." Taozi nodded, "Maybe the enemy threatened him, or gave him a death order."

Cheng Qianfan did not comment. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and a faint smoke came out of his nose. He said, "Which force do you think is behind Yu Guanming?"

"It's hard to say." Taozi shook her head and said, "Our Special Intelligence Department is a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese and Chinese traitors. It's not surprising that any party would target us."

……

The leader of the troupe, Qing, was holding a fruit plate and he found the little actor who was dozing off.

"Go." said Mr. Qing.

Xiaojiaoer quickly took it and nodded.

"Do you remember what I said just now?" asked Mr. Qing.

"Watch more and talk less, and tell the boss when you come out." The little actor, with two maids combing his hair and a red mole on his forehead, said crisply.

"Go."

Cheng Qianfan flicked the ash off his cigarette. His expression was calm, with a thoughtful seriousness in his calmness.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Fan, Boss Qing sent a maid to deliver some preserved fruit snacks." said Li Ga who was guarding outside the door.

"Come in." Cheng Qianfan winked at Qiao Chuntao and said to the outside.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Cheng." Xiao Jiaoer came in with a fruit plate and said hello carefully, "Happy New Year, Mr. Cheng."

"You have a pretty sweet mouth." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.

"Xiao Jiao'er is the most likable child in the troupe." Qiao Chuntao said at the side, "He is smart and sensible."

Xiaojiaoer put the fruit plate away but did not leave. He skillfully fiddled with the teapot and started serving quietly.

Cheng Qianfan glanced at Xiaojiaoer, then put out the cigarette in his hand and 'continued' discussing Kunqu Opera with 'Mr. Xiaoqing'.

"Mr. Xiaoqing must have the deepest understanding of the women in this play." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Let's talk about it."

"Mr. Cheng asked, so I'll share my humble opinion." Qiao Chuntao said, "'Yueyuehong' is a dazzling and gorgeous color that makes people intoxicated."

"As for 'Tian La Jiao', it can be said that he is as arrogant and hot-tempered as his name suggests."

"'Lantian Jade' highlights the gentle and virtuous characteristics of women, which can be said to satisfy men's imagination of skilled women."

"'Guizhixiang' also gives people a refreshing and elegant feeling, which makes people feel comfortable." After saying this, Qiao Chuntao looked at Cheng Qianfan, "The above is just Qing's humble opinion, please forgive me for laughing."

"Mr. Xiaoqing said it well." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, and said with emotion, "'Yueyuehong', 'Tianjiao', 'Lantianyu', 'Guizhixiang', these four names constitute two completely different personalities, one is as soft as water, and the other is as hard as iron."

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "Names are closely related to personalities, and their names seem to foreshadow their ill-fated fates."

Cheng Qianfan drank a sip of tea, then saw Xiaojiaoer in a daze, and couldn't help but smile, "What's wrong?"

"I don't understand." Xiaojiao scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Hahaha." Cheng Qianfan laughed.

"You little fool, the class leader asked you to study hard and remember everything, but you were disobedient." Qiao Chuntao also smiled and scolded the little guy.

Then he waved his hand and said, "I think you are about to fall asleep listening to this. Go out. You don't need to serve me here."

The little guy looked as if he had been pardoned and hurried out.

"A little kid with a big brain." After Xiaojiaoer left, Cheng Qianfan chuckled and said.

Qiao Chuntao was not surprised that Chu Zuo could see through Xiao Jiao's performance at a glance. It was not that Xiao Jiao's acting skills were exaggerated. On the contrary, the little girl was very smart. It was just that she met the ace agent of the Military Control Commission.

"He was sold to a drama troupe when he was young and grew up in misery. Those who were not smart would have been reincarnated long ago." Qiao Chuntao said lightly.

A hint of sadness flashed across his eyes.

……

"How is it inside?" Troupe Leader Qing waved his hand, called the little star over, and couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Qing and Mr. Cheng are drinking tea and talking about opera." said the little actor.

"Let's talk about drama?" asked the troupe leader Qing.

"Yes, that Mr. Cheng asked Brother Qing about the sisters Yueyuehong, Tian Lajiao, Lantianyu and Guizhixiang in Dream of the Red Chamber." said the little actor.

"What did 'Mr. Xiaoqing' say?" asked Mr. Qing immediately.

The little guy then relayed to the troupe leader what Brother Qing had just said.

"What do you think of what your 'Brother Qing' said?" asked Team Leader Qing.

"Well said. To use the master chef's words, Brother Qing's understanding of this play is deep." The little actor said with a gleam in his eyes as he spoke.

"Hahaha, that's right." Team leader Qing nodded happily.

From what Mr. Xiaoqing said, he could judge that Mr. Xiaoqing was very serious in explaining the play to Mr. Xiaocheng, which showed that there was indeed nothing to worry about.

In this way, he felt relieved.

The owner of the Qing team suddenly became interested and asked, "What did Mr. Cheng say?"

"Mr. Cheng said that names and personalities echo each other, gentle as water and hard as iron. He said that the sisters have had a rough life, which can be seen from their names." Xiaojiaoer thought for a while and said.

"Well said." After hearing this, Team Leader Qing pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

It was no news in the French Concession that this "Mr. Cheng" liked to listen to operas. It also showed that he was indeed a person who really liked Kunqu opera and really understood opera.

He had previously heard that this 'Little General Cheng' had published an article about Chinese opera in the internal publication of the French Concession Police Station. He had secretly criticized and ridiculed him at the time, but now it seems that this 'Little General Cheng' really understands opera.

However, after thinking about it carefully, it is not surprising. I have heard that this 'Young Master Cheng' comes from a famous family, so naturally he has a deep family background.

……

"So, what are you doubting?" Cheng Qianfan squinted at Qiao Chuntao and suddenly asked, "Or, what are you worried about?"

Taozi only confirmed to Li Hao who asked him about the situation that Yu Guanming was an insider of the Special Intelligence Department, but he did not tell him that he personally eliminated the traitor. This matter itself is of great significance.

Until now, both Haozi and Haozi only knew that Yu Guanming's family was killed. They suspected that it was the enemy who attacked the Yu family, but they did not know the real situation.

"I don't know." Taozi shook her head, "I just think it's weird."

He said to Cheng Qianfan, "Yu Guanming has only maintained a single line of contact with me, and he has not had any action orders recently, so there is no danger of being exposed. Because of this, I am a little confused about why Yu Guanming has a problem."

……

Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly. He could understand Taozi's caution and worry.

The fact that something went wrong with a person who should not have gotten into trouble and should not have been exposed is in itself a very strange thing that is very worthy of suspicion and investigation.

"Do you suspect there's something wrong within us?" he asked Taozi.

"I don't know." Taozi shook his head, and he emphasized again, "Yu Guanming is a single line."

Cheng Qianfan took a long puff of his cigarette and nodded silently.

As I said, Yu Guanming is a single line and only contacts Taozi.

To a certain extent, this seems to be able to avoid the possibility that there was a traitor inside who betrayed Yu Guanming. However, it is precisely because of this that the two of them have to consider the possibility that there was an internal problem. This is a strange but factual paradox.

"You go and investigate this matter yourself." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, "Inside the Special Affairs Department, I will order a thorough investigation of the murder of the Yu family and avenge Yu Guanming."

"I understand." Taozi nodded.

Virgo's method is one open and one covert. The open line is to paralyze the traitors who may exist inside, while the covert line is mainly on his side.

This is indeed the best solution.

……

"Brother Fan, do you think there might be a problem with Yu Guanming's old connections?" Taozi thought for a moment and asked.

Cheng Qianfan fell into deep thought.

Taozi's suspicion is also one of his suspicions.

Yu Guanming is a veteran undercover agent of the Lixingshe Secret Service, and was assigned to him by Qi Wu.

Although according to Qi Wu, Yu Guanming was hiding very successfully and was an important agent in his hands, and had nothing to do with the Shanghai area, it means that other units in Shanghai did not know about Yu Guanming's situation.

However, after this incident, especially considering that Yu Guanming only had a single line of contact with Taozi within the Special Affairs Department, Cheng Qianfan could not help but suspect that there was something wrong with Yu Guanming's old relationship in the Lixing Society.

"I will check this myself." Cheng Qianfan said, "I'll leave the rest to you."

"clear."

……

No. 719, Disway Road.

The headquarters of the Nishimura Squad of the Japanese Army's Secret Service.

"So, most people in the Shanghai Municipal Government support the establishment of Wang's reclamation regime?" Nishimura Ozo glanced at Kai Yajiro.

"Yes." Kai Yajiro said, "According to the surveillance information we have so far, the vast majority of people in the city government are cheering for the establishment of the Wang regime."

He glanced at Nishimura Ozo and said, "Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Empire has recently been vigorously promoting and supporting Wang's reclamation regime."

"Yoshi." Nishimura Ozo smiled slightly, "The Empire supports it, so they dare not not support it."

He glanced at Yajiro Kai and said, "Well done. During this critical period, we must continue to maintain high pressure. Shanghai will never allow any problems to occur."

Nishimura Ozo's expression was serious. "What I said is, it is absolutely not allowed!"

"Yes!" Kai Yajiro quickly stood at attention and agreed. As the head of the Municipal Government Section of the Nishimura Class, he was ordered to monitor and control the internal movements of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government. If there were any internal problems during this critical period, he would indeed be duty-bound to take responsibility.

Kai Yajiro said to Nishimura Ozo, "I have already told Kojima Fumi to be in charge of this matter. If there are any abnormal situations, Kojima Fumi will report to me immediately."

He said with a serious expression, "I sleep with my eyes open now."

"Very good." Nishimura Ozo nodded with satisfaction.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

An agent from Nishimura's squad came in to report, "Sir, Section Chief Kikuchi has an emergency to report to you."

"Go ahead." Nishimura Ozo nodded to Kai Yajiro, then looked towards the door, "Kikuchi-kun, come in."

When Kai Yajiro was leaving, he met the head of the Investigation and Liaison Section, Kikuchi Shintaka, who was entering. The two nodded slightly and then passed each other.

……

"Commander, something happened." Kikuchi Masataka said to Nishimura Ozo with an anxious expression.

"You're so flustered. How disgraceful." Nishimura Ozo glared at Kikuchi Shintaka.

"Ha!" Kikuchi Shintaka quickly stood at attention and saluted respectfully.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Nishimura Ozo asked calmly.

"Yu Guanming is dead." said Kikuchi Shintaka.

"What?" Nishimura Ozo's face changed, he suddenly stood up, put his hands on the desk, and asked.

"Yu Guanming was found dead in his home in Xingpingli," said Kikuchi Shintaka. "Not only Yu Guanming, but also his two sons Yu Ziqing and Yu Mingji, and his wife were killed at home."

"When did it happen?" Nishimura Ozo asked in a deep voice.

"The murder was discovered this morning. A large number of police entered Xingpingli, and Yu Guanming's home was also blocked by the police station." said Kikuchi Shintaka.

"Bad Duck Drop!" Nishimura Ozo's face changed and he cursed angrily, "Why are you reporting this morning's incident only now?"

His face was extremely gloomy. "Such a big thing, I highly doubt that this matter has already caused a stir in the French Concession, and our intelligence efficiency is so low?!"

He looked at Kikuchi Shintaka and said angrily and sarcastically, "Kikuchi-kun, did you hear this news from the street and then rush here to report it to me?"
