My years of espionage

Chapter 837 Stenographer

Yoshida invited Zhao Changgeng, 'Mr. Yao' and Mei Luan out of the room.

"Two things." Yoshida looked at his subordinates.

"The first thing is, what did Tan Pinggong and Cheng Qianfan talk about?" Yoshida said.

"Major, unless one of them is arrested and interrogated, it is difficult to find out what they talked about."

"You can't arrest people." Yoshida shook his head.

Miyazaki Kentaro has initially passed the test. This person's identity and background are extraordinary, and he cannot be moved easily.

Tan Pinggong is the vice president of the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce. This person has a certain influence in the French Concession and even the entire Shanghai Bund. He has contacts with several directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau in the French Concession. Unless there is conclusive evidence, he can't move easily. .

"Check out the recent contacts and exchanges between Tan Pinggong and Cheng Qianfan." Yoshida ordered.

If there is indeed a legitimate exchange between the two people, then the envelope and the possible cashier's check in the envelope are reasonable, and vice versa.

"Hay."

"The second thing is to find a way to find out whether the thing in the envelope that Tan Pinggong gave Cheng Qianfan is really a bank draft, or something else?"

Yoshida looked at his subordinates, "Stare at Cheng Qianfan."

"Hay."

Yoshida waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to step back.

He stood at the window, staring out the window. At this time, a car stopped at the entrance of the alley. After getting out of the car, a man looked around vigilantly, then lowered his top hat, and walked towards the house.

Yoshida frowned.

What is this guy Sagami doing here?
Today, the guy Sagami must have known that his investigation was just a cover, and that his own unit was truly valued and trusted by Commander Ikeuchi. No small blow.

We need to beware of this guy Zuo Shang becoming angry and making trouble.

……

The next day.

No. 22 Xue Huali Road.

Office of the Deputy Chief Inspector.

Cheng Qianfan yawned, and the lazy sunlight hit his face.

The phonograph in the office is playing, playing Kunqu opera.

Mr. Xiao Cheng put one foot up on the desk, held a cigarette between his fingers, closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers on his upturned leg, like jumping notes.

He had been thinking about the order from the Chongqing Headquarters last night about the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team arranging people to approach Mrs. Tan, but he still couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, Cheng Qianfan decided not to think about it, not to think about it anymore.

For a potential agent, sometimes, not thinking about it, not knowing certain things, means safety instead.

Dai Chunfeng's order was given to Xiao Mian of the Shanghai Special Affairs Team, so what does he have to do with "Blue Bird"?
At this moment, the Japanese military police headquarters in Shanghai.

Yoshida was developing photographs in the darkroom of the Gendarmerie Headquarters.

The light in the darkroom was blood red, and the eyes of Yoshida, who had not slept all night, were also blood red.

The photo was taken by a secret agent of the special high school inside the Tanfu ball. This agent is Yoshida's real trump card. He never pinned his expectations on Zhao Changgeng and other Chinese people.

Yoshida is aware of the role of Zhao Changgeng and others, he values ​​these people, similarly, he does not trust these Chinese people.

Yoshida's eyes suddenly became very sharp, and he stared at a photo.

In this photo, a man is sitting in a corner. The man is smoking, and the smoke from the nose lingers in front of the man, making the face look unreal.

Yoshida looked carefully. Although the man was in a corner, it was an excellent observation point, where he could silently take a panoramic view of the entire dance hall.

Of course, a photo says nothing.

Yoshida rummaged through other photos, but couldn't find any where the man entered the camera.

He thought for a while, and finally took out this photo and put it aside alone. Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that this photo might bring unexpected clues.

……

Yucheng.

The meeting is over, and An Wan is checking the minutes of today's meeting.

A major walked into the conference room and handed a stack of photos to Chu Jiaxian.

"Xiao An, how about this photo?" Chu Jiaxian rummaged through it, then handed a photo to An Wan, asking for her opinion.

An Wan took the photo, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile, "Chairman, I don't know much about photography, but I just think you look very energetic, Chairman."

She still referred to Chu Jiaxian as the old chief according to his official position as the chairman of Zhejiang Province.

In fact, after the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, Chu Jiaxian's influence and status in the Kuomintang party rose steadily, and he quickly opened up the situation in the Central Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang.

In August last year, Chu Jiaxian was first appointed as the director of the Counselor's Office of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government.

In the following month, he was appointed Secretary-General of the Central Executive Committee of the National Party, concurrently the chairman of the Party Affairs Committee, and, according to the decision of the Central Standing Committee, concurrently the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Subsequently, the National Party established the Three Youth League, and Chu Jiaxian was appointed as the executive officer of the board of directors. Soon he also acted as the secretary general of the Central Youth League and presided over the third session of the Central Training Group's party and government training class.

"Really? I also think this photo is good." Chu Jiaxian nodded slightly.

This is a photo archive of a meeting of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government. Now that the photos have been developed, the staff took the photos and asked Chu Jiaxian to choose them.

He glanced at An Wan who was sorting out the minutes of the meeting, and said with a smile, "Xiao An, it's time for lunch, fill your stomach before you go to work."

"Yes, Chairman." An Wan agreed, but she still looked down at the written record in her hand, "It will be ready soon."

Chu Jiaxian nodded. An Wan was his old subordinate, and she was very capable at work. Her unique skills were shorthand skills of 200 characters per minute and beautiful petty lowercase script.

Most importantly, he appreciates An Wan's serious and responsible attitude towards work, and this old subordinate has lived up to his trust and promotion.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the meeting room.

"Who's outside?" Chu Jiaxian frowned and asked loudly.

"Secretary, it's me." A person came in through the door. It was Xue Yingzeng, deputy director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

"It's Kejun." Chu Jiaxian nodded, "Come in and talk."

"Seat." Xue Yingzeng was still very polite to Chu Jiaxian, and saluted first after entering.

In August last year, the Central Bureau of Statistics was established, with Xue Yingzheng as the deputy director and Chu Jiaxian, then secretary-general of the Central Party Department, as the director.

In addition, the second branch of the former Military Investigation and Statistics Bureau was formally separated, and the Military Statistics Bureau was established. The director of the bureau was concurrently the director of the first department of the leader's attendant office, and Dai Chunfeng was the deputy director.

In fact, no matter whether it is the military command or the central command, the actual power is held by the deputy director.

However, unlike the military command, where the deputy director completely holds all the power, and the director He Ningxiang is more like a decoration, Chu Jiaxian's influence on the Zhongtong side is actually not weak.

Chu Jiaxian is a popular person around the leader, and he also has many direct descendants in the Bureau of Central Statistics, such as Bureau Secretary Lu Cixin, Director of the Accounting Office Lei Guzhuo, Director of the Statistics Department Cheng Xianping, Director of the Bureau's Training Committee Gu Zejun, etc.

In addition, Chu Jiaxian himself is also a member of the Nationalist Government, the president of the Examination Institute, the president of the Academia Sinica, the secretary-general of the Central Party Department, the chairman of the Sino-British Fund Custody Board, the president of the Sino-German Association, and the The titles of president of the classmate association made Xue Yingzhen dare not neglect her.

However, fortunately, Chu Jiaxian himself is not keen on the affairs of the Zhongtong, and he doesn't usually get involved in the affairs of the Zhongtong, so that Xue Yingzheng can firmly sit on the top spot of the actual head of the Zhongtong.

Of course, on the scene, Xue Yingzheng respected Chu Jiaxian very much.

"Boss, this money is the heart of the overseas Chinese to support the anti-Japanese plan. Dai Chunfeng wants to take it all in private. It is simply lawless." Xue Yingzheng said angrily.

"What are you talking about?" Chu Jiaxian was a little puzzled.

He took a look, and the meeting stenographer An Wan had left through the back door of the meeting room at some point.

Obviously, An Wan left on her own initiative after learning that Xue Yinggeng, the deputy director of the Central Command, was here.

I couldn't help nodding secretly in my heart, I was quite appreciative and satisfied with An Wan's prudent and avoidance behavior.

"The chief doesn't know?" Xue Yingzheng glanced at Chu Jiaxian, then patted his head, "Blame me, blame me for not reporting to the chief in time."

He smiled and said, "Do you still remember Tan Pinggong?"

"Tan Zhuoyuan? What's wrong with him?" Chu Jiaxian asked with a frown, remembering the Zhejiang township party member.

"Overseas Chinese in Nanyang donated a sum of money to support the domestic war of resistance. It is said that the money was handed over to the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai through secret channels..."

Xue Yingzeng complained to Chu Jiaxian with an angry face.

According to the news from Nanyang, this anti-Japanese donation is currently in the hands of the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce, while the Zhongtong side is obviously a bit late to get the news. They have just learned of the existence of the money, and the Zhongtong is in The latent personnel within the military command sent out information:
Dai Chunfeng has already set his sights on the money and has already taken action.

"I've been feeling unwell recently, so you should take care of things in the bureau." Chu Jiaxian said directly, pointing at Xue Yingzhen with a smile, "The leader is very much looking forward to the work of the Central Unification. You are three years younger than me, so don't be lazy."

"The affairs in the bureau are complicated, and you need to be in charge of it yourself, the bureau chief." Xue Yingzheng said hastily.

"Old man, I'm out of energy." Chu Jiaxian shook his head and said.

Xue Yingzheng smiled and said a few auspicious words, both of them laughed heartily.

Looking at each other and smiling, both sides understood and reached a consensus.

For such a major matter, Xue Yingzheng naturally wanted to communicate with Chu Jiaxian, although he concluded that Chu Jiaxian would continue to 'not care' and 'delegate authority' as before, but this attitude must be maintained.

Sure enough, Chu Jiaxian still showed an attitude of not wanting to care about the internal affairs of the Central Committee, Xue Yingzheng was overjoyed and relieved.

The two walked towards the outside of the meeting room while talking.

A few minutes after the two left, the curtain at the back door of the conference room moved slightly, and then the sound of slight footsteps disappeared.

Behind the curtain at the back door of the meeting room and in front of the door, there is a small cubicle about three feet two inches wide. Only a few staff who need to enter and exit through the back door know about it. Most importantly, a few insiders have long been accustomed to it , if it is not deliberately mentioned, most of them don't think much of it.

……

Here, Chu Jiaxian and Xue Yingzhen came to an office together.

Chu Jiaxian's expression became serious.

"Have you found out anything about that incident?"

Xue Yingzheng shook his head, with a gloomy face, "I searched around, and checked all suspicious personnel, and found nothing wrong."

When Chu Jiaxian heard this, his expression darkened.

Here, An Wan took advantage of the noon time to go home.

"How is today?" Husband Huai Mingxin asked casually as he poured a glass of water for his wife.

"Forget it, I've had a meeting and my wrists are sore." An Wan said after taking a sip of water.

Huai Mingxin nodded, feeling much more at ease.

His seemingly normal question between husband and wife was actually asking An Wan if she found anything unusual.

An Wan replied that there was a meeting in the morning, and answered the question indirectly:
Since she continued to be assigned as a meeting stenographer, it naturally meant that An Wan was not suspected by the enemy.

Just a few months ago, An Wan was identified as the stenographer of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the KMT, and was responsible for keeping the relevant documents of the meeting.

At this meeting, Chang Kaishen personally gave the report, and An Wan sat at a table only three or four meters away from Chang Kaishen to take shorthand notes.

At one of the very confidential military meetings, the top leaders of the Nationalist Party carefully planned a conspiracy to eliminate the Red Party and concocted two reactionary documents, namely "Measures for Preventing Alien Party Activities" and "Measures for Disposal of the Red Party".

This is an extremely dangerous signal for the Kuomintang to create friction and launch an anti-red climax.

After the meeting, An Wan sent the two reactionary documents officially passed by the meeting to the organization.

Later, based on the materials provided by An Wan and the information provided by other comrades on the secret front, the headquarters compiled and published the pamphlet "Where Does the Friction Come From?" The source of Guohong's friction.

Then it exposed the anti-red conspiracy of the National Party and hit the anti-red arrogance of the National Party.

This matter caused Chang Kaishen to be furious, and he called Xue Yingzeng over and scolded him bloody, and ordered Xue Yingzeng to investigate and deal with the leak case within a time limit.

Because of the huge impact of this matter, Chu Jiaxian, who has never asked about the affairs of the central reunification, had to take the time to inquire, not to mention the result, this is a necessary attitude.

……

An Wan drank water slowly and communicated with her husband in a low voice. The two are husband and wife with a tacit understanding.

An Wan was at the 'front desk', responsible for obtaining information such as documents and shorthand manuscripts during the day, and translated the original shorthand manuscripts into words when she returned home in the dead of night.

Husband Huai Mingxin is in the 'backstage', and is often responsible for reorganizing, condensing, secret writing, secret storage and transmission of information in the second half of the night.

In fact, An Wan's job as a stenographer in the Central Party Headquarters of the Nationalist Party is not a high position but a very important position. A lot of top-secret information can often be obtained from meeting minutes and discarded documents.

In addition, important members of the National Party sometimes chat and greet, and sometimes these few words contain extremely important information.

The Nationalist Party held a meeting to conspire against the Red Party, and the meeting information was often condensed, summarized, and hidden by Huai Mingxin in the early hours of the next day, and delivered to the residences of Comrade Xiangwu and others overnight through the hands of traffic officers. Party leaders saw the intelligence even before the National Party commissioners.
