My years of espionage

Chapter 766

"What do you think of the analysis of 'crucian carp'?" Sanben Jiro asked Araki Harima, holding a baton in his right hand and staring at the map.

'Crucian carp' is a senior latent spy of the super high class. This person has lived in China for ten years. No one would have thought that this Chinese person would be a secret agent of the super high class.

The "crucian carp" that has penetrated into the Maoshan base of the New Fourth Army sent important information——

He suspected that Shanghai was secretly planning to transport a large number of anti-Japanese elements with a high level of education to Maoshan:

"Chairman, I think the analysis and inference of 'crucian carp' are reasonable." Araki Harima thought for a while and said, "This kind of unintentional revealed words will be quite accurate instead."

When chatting with his superiors, 'Crucian carp' mentioned the lack of manpower and the heavy workload. In the past, the superiors would probably encourage everyone to overcome difficulties and carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardships or tiredness to work.

However, this time is different. The boss of 'Craucian Carp' is in a good mood. He said that he has repeatedly applied to the superiors, and this time he finally got the approval. Everyone will work hard for less than half a month, and new comrades will come in soon. .

It was just such a sentence that aroused the interest and vigilance of 'Craucian Carp', and he deeply analyzed the intelligence behind this sentence:
First, the unit where 'crucian carp' works is not the most important and critical unit. Generally speaking, even if new comrades come to the base area, they will give priority to supplementing other units.

However, its direct leadership said that this time there will be new comrades joining their unit. What does this mean?
It shows that the number of new comrades who came to the Maoshan base of the New Fourth Army is quite large. When the personnel needs of other important units and departments are met, they can even consider meeting the personnel needs of the department where the 'crucian carp' is located.

Second, there is only one possible source for sending a large number of intellectuals to support the bases of the New Fourth Army, and that is Shanghai.

Third, the leader said that everyone should overcome it for another half a month, which means that this group of people will arrive at the Maoshan base within half a month.

Therefore, after repeated analysis, 'crucian carp' came to his own judgment:
It is very likely that the Red Party Association in Shanghai and recently sent a group of cultural intellectuals and anti-Japanese activists to the New Fourth Army "entrenched" in Zhenjiang.

Jiro Sanben was still staring at the map, and he used his baton to make gestures between Shanghai and Maoshan and Wawushan in Zhenjiang.

"Araki, how long does it take for them to reach Zhenjiang from Shanghai without considering how to pass through our checkpoint blockade and leave Shanghai?" Sanben Jiro asked.

"It will take at least three days." Araki Harima said, "Even if they can leave Shanghai smoothly, from Shanghai to Maoshan, there are imperial occupation areas along the way, and the locust army has absolute control over important roads and waterways."

He clicked on several locations on the map, "If you want to bypass these checkpoints, it means that they need to walk nearly twice as far."

"And without bypassing these checkpoints, there are so many of them that it's almost impossible to get through without arousing suspicion," Araki said.

As the New Fourth Army entrenched in Maoshan and Wawushan continued to 'adjust salaries' the locust army, the locust army also strengthened the blockade of the New Fourth Army. It would be extremely difficult for anyone or anything to enter the territory of the New Fourth Army.

"Three days." Sanben Jiro pondered for a moment, "The information from 'Craucian Carp' shows that these people may arrive within half a month, so..."

With a serious expression on his face, he paced and said, "This means that this group of people is now ready to leave Shanghai."

"Or, they are trying to find a way to leave Shanghai now." Jiro Sanben stopped in his tracks, his eyes showing excitement.

He turned his head to look at Harima Araki, his eyes were dark and excited, "Araki, find these mice, catch them, and destroy them!"

"Hai!" Araki Harima saluted.

……

After eating supper at Lao Huang's place, Cheng Qianfan wiped his mouth and returned to his office comfortably with a toothpick in his mouth.

It was no easy task to transport a group of people to leave Shanghai under the condition that the Japanese army strictly sealed off the exit channel, and because of the importance of this matter, he dared not easily try a more dangerous method.

Therefore, even Cheng Qianfan still has some headaches now. Although time is tight, this matter cannot be rushed and needs to be discussed slowly.

In addition, Cheng Qianfan had some guesses about the task assigned by Heutaro Imamura today, but these guesses need to go through his contacts with Britain, France and the United States, especially the process of 'reporting' with the high-level officials of the French Concession and contacting both parties. Step by step to confirm.

Just as President Xiao Cheng was about to leave the night shift and return to his new home in La Fei Fang, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.

It was Datou Lu who pushed the door open.

"Inspector." The big head Lu closed the door casually, stepped forward a few steps, and whispered beside Cheng Qianfan.

"Is the information reliable?" Cheng Qianfan narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Reliable, I've confirmed again and again that the third eyelid says it's that woman." As he spoke, the big head Lu looked excited, "Inspector, arrest someone, according to the investigation of his subordinates, it seems that there are still a group of people who are also staring at that woman."

"Who is it?" Cheng Qianfan asked coldly.

"Someone like Wang Kangnian, but I'm not sure yet," Datou Lu said.

"Get the notice and arrest people." Mr. Cheng smiled. He straightened his armed belt and picked up the holster hanging on the wall.

"Inspector, are you going too?" Big Tou Lu asked in surprise.

"The mouse that has been hiding for so long, I want to see what's extraordinary about her." Cheng Qianfan said with a sneer.

Big Tou Lu didn't ask any more questions. Cheng Qianfan was extremely hostile to the Red Party, and Big Tou Lu naturally knew this.

……

The stern whistle was blown, breaking the tranquility of the compound of the central police station.

The three patrols of the patrol room assembled and lined up.

Everyone was shivering in the cold wind, waiting for the military card of the armored squad.

Cheng Qianfan stomped his feet, clapped his hands, and cursed.

Xiao Cheng naturally didn't have to wait foolishly in the cold wind of the cold night.

He ordered the big head Lu to guard, while he went directly to the door of the infirmary and knocked on the door.

"Old Huang, it's me."

Lao Huang opened the door with his coat on.

"Where is Mrs. Tang?" Cheng Qianfan bent down, poked his head in, and shouted.

"It's late at night, I have to boil the water again." Lao Huang muttered, and yawned again, but he would not refuse Mr. Cheng after all, "Wait, I'll boil the water."

Xiao Cheng always seemed worried about his subordinates, so he withdrew from the room and glanced at his subordinates shivering in the cold wind.

He yelled at Hou Pingliang, "Monkey, go to my office and bring down a case of wine, each of you has two sips to drive away the cold, this damn weather."

Hou Pingliang agreed, called two police officers, and ran upstairs to the deputy chief inspector's office.

Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, shivering from the cold, then turned around and walked into Lao Huang's medical room.

"Mrs. Tang, it's alright." Lao Huang handed Mrs. Tang, which had been filled with hot water, to Cheng Qianfan, "Be careful of scalding."

"Shu Tan." Cheng Qianfan took Tang Pozi with both hands, picked it up with his right hand, and touched it with his left hand. He quickly moved his hand away when it was so hot, but nodded in satisfaction.

Hou Pingliang brought down two boxes of wine, one bottle for every four people, drinking to warm up.

"Let's go." President Xiao Cheng glanced at the armed men, nodded in satisfaction, and got on the passenger seat of the second military card.

The engines of the two military trucks roared and rushed out of the compound of the central patrol room.

Here, Lao Huang closed the door, turned over his palm, and there was a note in his palm.

Leaning against the door, he saw clearly what was on the note, and then threw the note into the stove. After seeing the note turn into ashes, he poked it again with the cleaning stick.

……

The target of the patrol room's operation this time is Zhang Ping.

Cheng Qianfan remembered Zhang Ping, this woman came to him through Tang Xiaoye to clear up the relationship, and finally released a suspected anti-Japanese element named Bai Feiyu.

It's not like Cheng Qianfan didn't suspect that Zhang Ping might be an anti-Japanese element, or even the Red Party.

However, what Da Tou Lu reported to him just now still surprised him.

Zhang Ping's possible true identity was beyond his expectation.

An idle man nicknamed "Three Eyelids" recognized Zhang Ping as a member of the Red Party, and even pointed out that this woman was a member of the Red Party in the 21st year of the Republic of China.

In the 21st year of the Republic of China, that was seven years ago.

It is the bloodiest and craziest time of white terror.

Cheng Qianfan's first reaction was that Zhang Ping was a member of our party who had lost contact with the organization.

This possibility is very large.

Before Guohong cooperated for the second time, Shanghai had always been one of the most bloody and severe areas where the Kuomintang reactionaries repeatedly hunted down and suppressed revolutionaries.

In the words of Ma Qiwu, the head of the Shanghai District of the Party Affairs Investigation Office of the National Party Central Committee, the Red Party in Shanghai is like a leek. A batch, leeks will not have time to grow!
……

Cheng Qianfan took the initiative to lead the team to arrest Zhang Ping, not because he wanted to release water during the arrest and create opportunities for Zhang Ping to escape.

That kind of thinking is stupid.

His subordinates, from Datou Lu to Lu Jiufan, to Hou Pingliang, and even an ordinary policeman, are all human beings.

Any unreasonable details cannot escape the eyes of these human beings.

Cheng Qianfan would not take the risk of possible exposure to rescue an unidentified arrestee. In other words, even if he was sure that Zhang Ping was a comrade of our party, he could only choose to be cold-blooded and would not take risks.

One of the reasons why Cheng Qianfan wanted to personally lead a team to arrest him was because he learned from the big head Lu that Wang Kangnian's people might be watching Zhang Ping.

He wanted to make sure that Zhang Ping was arrested by the patrol room, not by the detective team of the Shanghai Puppet Government Police Department.

If Zhang Ping falls into the hands of the police, Zhang Ping may suffer severe torture. However, with Cheng Qianfan's secret help, or organized help, he can hire a lawyer to defend him, and he can appeal through the newspapers. Most basically, Zhang Ping's life can be saved. There is even hope of getting bail.

In addition, he personally led the team, and he also considered that he might be able to discover some clues that others did not discover in time during the arrest process, and under the condition of ensuring his own safety, he considered helping to cover up and destroy the evidence.

Besides, Cheng Qianfan couldn't rule out another possibility, that is:
Perhaps Zhang Ping is not a comrade who has lost contact with the organization, but a comrade who has been organizing, but out of confidentiality, the organization has not communicated with him about this matter.

If this is the case, Zhang Ping's arrest will be a very difficult emergency. Cheng Qianfan must control the entire arrest and interrogation process, and send a warning signal to the organization as soon as possible.

……

Tang Pozi was placed on the towel-covered lap, Cheng Qianfan's right hand was also wrapped in a towel, and then placed on top of Tang Pozi.

Two army cards stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Afterwards, the police officers got out of the car and surrounded Zhang Ping's residence.

Cheng Qianfan threw Mrs. Tang on the seat, untied the white towel in his hand, glanced at the pavilion surrounded by crowds, and waved his hands indifferently.

The patrolmen directly broke through the door and rushed in.

President Xiao Cheng held his Browning gun in his hand, and walked behind unhurriedly under the guard of Hou Pingliang, Lu Jiufan and others.

"Brother Fan, slow down, watch out for guns." Hou Pingliang said worriedly.

"Have a gun?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at the little monkey, "Is that a firestick in your hand?"

That's what he said, but when Hou Pingliang saw that Brother Fan had obviously slowed down his pace, and intentionally or unintentionally fell behind Lu Jiu by turning a position, Hou Pingliang finally felt relieved:

Great, Brother Fan is still so afraid of death!

……

When Cheng Qianfan came to the house, he saw Zhang Ping who was being held down tightly by the police.

The woman struggled with all her strength, and there were patrols to see that the woman was beautiful, and took advantage of the opportunity.

Cheng Qianfan went up like a big ear.

"Respect, respect! Do you know!" Mr. Cheng reprimanded his subordinates, "To treat ladies, we must respect! Do you know?"

Then, Mr. Xiao Cheng looked at the arrested woman, and first took a careful look, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he was surprised by the beauty of this woman. Then, Mr. Cheng shook his head and sighed, "Ms. Zhang, Qing This beauty, how can I be a thief!"

"Sir, why are you arresting me?" Zhang Ping looked terrified, "Why are you arresting me? Let me go, let me go, I'm ashamed to face anyone, I'm dead... woo woo woo."

Looking at this woman who seemed to be terrified, Cheng Qianfan nodded secretly in his heart.

What he was most afraid of just now was that Zhang Ping's expression was calm, and he would even ask him why he arrested her, and what did she do?

A woman who was arrested suddenly broke into the house with a gun and fell to the ground, and was even taken advantage of by the police. This is simply a great horror that a law-abiding woman can think of and face.

Under such circumstances, if he could remain calm and even question the famous Mr. Cheng, who would believe that this woman would be a law-abiding woman from a good family?

Zhang Ping's reaction is the most correct reaction of a law-abiding woman, fear, panic, and at the same time, the reaction of a good woman who is raped and seeks death and life.

Cheng Qianfan was amazed in his heart, and at the same time had an intuition that if Zhang Ping was really a comrade of our party, he must be an extremely extraordinary agent.

Comrade 'Flame' smelled something of the same kind.
