My years of espionage

Chapter 1831 Urgent Telegram
Onodera Changwu smiled and shook his head. "To be honest, we are also confused as to why Shui Lilang, an officer of the Loyal National Salvation Army, would appear in Shanghai."

"Although this man was born a pirate, he is indeed a tough guy." Onodera Masago said, "Shui Lilang admitted his identity and refused to say anything else."

"Could it be that this guy came to Shanghai with a secret mission?" Cheng Qianfan asked, pondering.

"It's unlikely." Onodera Changwu shook his head and said, "I've carefully thought about Shui Lilang. He's a typical gangster. He's loyal but not smart. Even if the Loyal National Salvation Army really needs someone to sneak into Shanghai, they won't assign someone like him to complete such a mission."

"It's indeed a bit strange." Cheng Qianfan said after thinking.

"The military police arrested many tea drinkers in the teahouse. What's going on?" Cheng Qianfan asked. "Several of the arrested tea drinkers are citizens of the Central District. Jin Kemu is under a lot of pressure. He knows that Cheng Qianfan has a good relationship with the military police, so he arranged for him to inquire about the matter."

"We suspect that Shui Lilang's appearance in the teahouse was not just to avoid arrest, but he was probably meeting someone in the teahouse," said Onodera Masago. "Currently, these tea drinkers are being screened, and when they are confirmed to be innocent, the military police will release them."

He smiled and said to Miyazaki Kentaro, "In this way, General Cheng and the police station will naturally have an explanation."

Atsuto Kawada glanced at Shogo Onodera, but didn't say anything.

……

"Okay." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I'll just come out to ask questions and deal with the senior officers of the police station."

As he spoke, he took a sip of sake, sighed with satisfaction, and said, "I visited Counselor Imamura a few days ago. He also believed that the current situation is delicate and we should try not to provoke the French Concession authorities too much."

"The Vichy regime and the British and Free French rebels have started a war, and the Germans are happy to see it happen." Kawada Atsuto nodded and suddenly said, "Therefore, the Germans' attitude towards the French Concession has also changed. They now have a certain degree of support for the French Concession authorities who have sworn allegiance to the Vichy regime."

"Okay, today we're just going through the motions." Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses with Kawada Atsuto and Onodera Masago, and said, "I've just got a report for Jin Kemu and the French Concession authorities."

He said, "Business is over, now it's time to get together with friends."

The three of them burst into laughter. Cheng Qianfan clapped his hands, and the geisha who had been waiting for a long time immediately opened the door and came in to serve.

……

"Master Atsuto, you want to ask me why I didn't tell Mr. Miyazaki the truth about the military police arresting the teahouse guests?" Onodera Masago said as he poured a cup of sobering tea for Atsuto Kawada.

"I am indeed a little surprised." Kawada Atsuto said with a smile, "But that's all. I know your abilities well. You must have your reasons for doing this."

"Lieutenant Colonel Sakami was convinced that among the arrested tea drinkers there must be someone he was looking for, and that he was probably a big fish," said Onodera Masago. "At such a sensitive and critical moment, it's a good thing that Miyazaki-kun doesn't know the actual situation."

He said to Kawada Atsuto, "In a situation like this where there is a lot of hope, we should be more careful. If something goes wrong, it will be easy to be implicated."

"Kentaro is asking you. How to answer him is up to you to make your own judgment and decision." Kawada Atsuto chuckled and said, "Don't worry about my attitude."

"Hayi." Onodera Masago said respectfully.

……

"Onodera Masago is not telling the truth." Cheng Qianfan moved his wrists, making a crackling sound, and said.

Haozi turned the steering wheel and drove into a street where there were obviously more people, and he quickly honked the horn.

"Brother Fan, does this mean that the enemy attaches great importance to capturing these tea drinkers?" Haozi pondered and said, "Among these people, are there any important targets that the Japanese want to capture?"

"I suspect the same thing." Cheng Qianfan said, "You should arrange for the brothers here to be smart and see if there is any news."

"It's difficult." Haozi shook his head. "Since Onodera Changwu didn't tell you the truth, it means that the Japanese are very cautious about this matter and pay great attention to keeping it secret."

"We'll do our best." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "Of course, our top priority is to protect ourselves. As long as none of our own people are involved, nothing else matters."

"clear."

……

There was a knock on the door.

Cheng Xuyuan cautiously took out a pistol from under the pillow, turned off the safety, and walked behind the door.

"Who?"

"I'm the boss." Wang Tong's voice came from outside.

Cheng Xuyuan opened the door, and Wang Tong came in with a lunch box in his hand and said, "Boss, I went to Jinshenfu Road to buy the pork trotter rice from Liuweiju."

"I can already smell the fragrance." Cheng Xuyuan nodded happily and said.

He closed the door and bolted it.

"Special Envoy, I have already found out." Wang Tong said, "Not long after you left that day, the Japanese soldiers surrounded the teahouse."

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Cheng Xuyuan's expression became more solemn.

"Has anyone been arrested?" he asked immediately.

"They were all taken away." Wang Tong said.

"what?"

"All the tea drinkers who were drinking tea in the teahouse at that time were captured by the Japanese," said Wang Tong.

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Cheng Xuyuan's heart skipped a beat. He now highly suspected that the contact with Cen Yufeng that day had been exposed long ago, and the enemy had set an ambush in advance, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

As for what was going on with Cen Yufeng at the time, was he there as agreed, or had something happened long ago, or even was it Cen Yufeng who secretly defected to the enemy and gave him away, which would be the worst outcome.

Even, to some extent, this meeting itself is a trap?
Cheng Xuyuan thought carefully. He thought over and over again that this time he came to Shanghai to have a secret contact with Cen Yufeng because of the secret order from Boss Dai in Chongqing. The only people who knew the secret order were Cen Yufeng himself, besides Boss Dai in Chongqing.

If it is indeed confirmed that his contact with Cen Yufeng is a trap, the implications behind it would be very serious.

The most crucial issue was that he was transiting through Shanghai and met with Cen Yufeng according to the arrangement of the telegram. This directly determined that he did not have a radio station to directly contact Boss Dai in Chongqing.

Furthermore, the time, place, and code words of his meeting with Cen Yufeng were all arranged by the Chongqing Bureau headquarters.

In other words, now that this problem has arisen, even if Cen Yufeng is fine, it is simply impossible for him to get in touch with Cen Yufeng.

Even, it was impossible for him to get in touch with the Shanghai district.

However, the most important thing for him now is to contact the Chongqing Bureau headquarters immediately and report this emergency to Boss Dai.

But it was so difficult that Cheng Xuyuan was at a loss for a moment.

……

Extraordinary courses.

Telecommunications Research Laboratory.

"Nohara, our old friend, have you been active these days?" Arao Tomohiro came to the Telecommunications Research Laboratory and asked Nohara Ken'er.

"Report to the section chief." Nohara Ken'er said, "No."

"Where is the 'special' radio station?" Arao Chihiro asked immediately.

"There's no movement from the 'special' radio station either." said Kenji Nohara.

This is strange. Arao Chihiro rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

He had learned the inside story of the shooting at McNealy's apartment from the military police. The dead person was none other than Chi Bochao of the Military Control Commission's Tianjin Station. This person confessed to Che Che, Jiao Jiemin and other high-ranking officials of the Tianjin Station, and directly helped the Empire destroy the Military Control Commission's Tianjin Station.

Obviously, the shooting case in McNeese's apartment can almost be confirmed to be a revenge by the Military Intelligence Bureau. It was the Military Intelligence Bureau that killed Chi Bochao to eliminate the traitor.

After careful study, Arao Chihiro had a hunch that the murder of Chi Bochao was most likely done by the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department of the Military Control Commission.

Of course, it is also possible that Chen Gongshu from the Military Control Commission’s Shanghai District was responsible.

However, out of some inexplicable intuition, he was more inclined to believe that the one who killed Chi Bochao must be the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department of the Military Control Commission.

Therefore, he has been paying special attention to the "special" radio station that has been highly concerned by the Telecommunications Research Office and is suspected to be a secret radio station of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department:
If it was really the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department that did it, according to what he learned from the gendarmerie, this Chi Bochao directly confessed about the Tianjin Station when he was in Tianjin, causing Dai Chunfeng to lose many generals. This person must be on Dai Chunfeng's kill list.

Now that Chi Bochao has been killed, the person who did it must report the situation to Chongqing in a timely manner, both to announce the good news and to ask for a reward.

Now, I heard that it was highly suspected to be the "special radio station" of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Special Intelligence Department, but it was very honest and did not turn on the radio to contact the outside world.

This made Arao Chihiro frown.

His first reaction was that the radio station marked as "special" by Ken'er Nohara, which was highly suspected to be a radio station of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department and a key surveillance radio station, was so honest. Didn't this mean that the matter was wrong from the beginning, and this radio station had nothing to do with the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department, or even with Chongqing?
……

"Section Chief," said Ken'er Nohara, "I am 80% sure that the 'special' radio station is the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department's radio station."

He understood Arao Chihiro's worries and suspicions, so he immediately said, "This 'special' radio station has remained silent in the past few days, which has increased my subordinates' suspicion of this radio station. To a certain extent, it is almost certain that the radio station is the radio station of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department."

Arao Chihiro pulled a chair and sat down, glanced at Nohara Ken'er, and said, "Tell me."

"I have studied the files of Xiao Mian and the Shanghai Special Affairs Office." Ye Yuanquan said, "Xiao Mian and the Shanghai Special Affairs Office are very cautious and pay great attention to the protection of their own safety."

"After getting rid of Chi Bochao, they did not immediately send a message to Chongqing to report the good news and take credit for it. This actually reflects the caution and carefulness of this group of enemies, which is very consistent with my judgment of Xiao Mian and the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department." Nohara Ken'er said.

"Then keep watching, and report to me immediately if you have any discoveries or progress," said Tomohiro Arao.

"Hayi." said Nohara Ken'er.

……

It was at this time that my grandson Shinta also came to the Telecommunications Research Laboratory.

"What have you discovered in the surveillance of Su Zhe at the French Concession Police Station?" asked Arao Chihiro.

"No obvious problems have been found so far." My grandson Shinta said, "This person's life is relatively simple. He works in the police station on Xuehuali Road and sometimes drinks with friends at home."

"On the contrary, it was that Jin Kemu." My grandson Shinta said, "Jin Kemu was very active. We found that this person had contact with those people who were hiding in the French Concession and carrying out anti-Japanese propaganda."

"Kin Kemu..." Arao Chihiro groaned, "Keep a close eye on this person, and report to me if necessary."

The Empire had long been very dissatisfied with Jin Kemu. If it had not been for the purpose of avoiding provoking the French Concession authorities, the Empire would have taken action against Jin Kemu long ago.

Now the French raised their hands to salute the Germans, and the French Concession authorities chose to follow the Vichy regime. Far away in Europe, the Vichy regime was the legitimate regime of France. Both its military and economic strength still existed, and even its overseas colonies existed in large numbers. All these were enough to show that the Vichy regime should not be underestimated.

However, in Shanghai, Tomohiro Arao was looking forward to putting pressure on the French Concession through a certain action, further testing the bottom line of the French, and laying a more relaxed environment and tone for the Special High Police's future actions in the French Concession.

He thought about it and realized that Jin Kemu, the chief patrol officer of the Central Police Station in the French Concession, was a powerful figure who was also known for his anti-Japanese stance. Taking action against Jin Kemu would serve as a warning to the rest and also serve to test the French Concession authorities to the greatest extent possible.

It was at this time that Yoshimura Shinpachi hurried to look for Arao Tomohiro.

"Section Chief, there's an urgent telegram from Ningbo." Yoshimura Shinpachi said in Arao Chihiro's ear.

Arao Chihiro took the telegram, unfolded it, and a hint of surprise flashed across his brows, along with a hint of excitement in his smile.

After folding the telegram paper, Arao Chihiro glanced at my grandson Shinta and said, "Head of the Tent, follow me."

……

"This is a secret telegram from Ningbo." Arao Chihiro handed the telegram paper to my grandson Shinta, "Ningbo has been very effective in capturing and killing the Military Control Commission Ningbo Station."

He said to my grandson, Shinta, "Hu Xiaoji, assistant station chief of the Military Control Commission Ningbo Station, surrendered to the Empire and revealed an important situation."

"Hu Xiaoji's old superior, who is also an old acquaintance of our Shanghai Special High Section, the former secretary of the Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission, Cheng Xuyuan, has come to Shanghai for some business." Arao Tomohiro said.

"Is the information reliable?" My grandson Shinta thought carefully, frowned, and asked, "It's not that I don't trust you, Chief, it's just that this matter is too surprising. Cheng Xuyuan was almost captured by Wan Haiyang because Wan Haiyang joined Jessfield Road. He actually revealed his appearance, how could he dare to sneak back to Shanghai?"
