Shanghai, a restaurant in the Japanese Concession.
On the first day of the new year, people from the special higher education class gathered here for a dinner, and everyone knelt down in front of the long table.
Mitsui Amu is sitting at the top, next to many senior officials of Shanghai Extra High School, and Hasegawa is on his left.
Jiang Tengkong is next to Hasegawa.
During this period, Mitsui Amu transferred many of his close associates from the Northeast for various reasons. Fortunately, most of them were assigned to the intelligence team, and there were not many people in the action team.
Jiang Tengkong understood that once Sanjiang Amu was freed, he, the leader of the operations team, would definitely give up his position.
He reported this matter to Tian Pei and asked to voluntarily give up the throne to protect himself. Otherwise, with Mitsui Amu's temperament, he would probably kill him to support one of his own people.
Unfortunately, the Military Intelligence Office did not agree to this request, leaving Jiang Tengkong scolded for several days, and could only think of ways to protect himself.
The Japanese don't celebrate the Spring Festival, so today they just take advantage of the Chinese New Year to have a routine dinner together.
"Section Chief, have you heard that the wedding of the Konoe family and the Hosokawa family was held in a very low-key manner."
Hasegawa whispered, "There haven't been any major events in the country recently. If there are any, this can be counted as one."
Konoe Takemo, the patriarch of the Konoe family, is a hot figure in the current political arena. As early as the beginning of last year, someone proposed that he form a cabinet, but Konoe Takemo believed that the time was not ripe and refused.
Nowadays, the voice for war in the country is very high, and Konoe Takemo is a representative of the main war faction, and it is very likely that he will take over the power and take over as prime minister.
There are many people paying attention to him currently, and the Hosokawa family is a long-established noble family, so their combination has attracted more people's attention.
Konoe Takemo specifically ordered that the wedding should not be high-profile, and in the end the wedding was completed with only two families.
"Do you have any clues about Tomotaka Hosokawa?"
Mitsui Amu's heart moved and she asked in a low voice. Kitagawa Naru had tried his best to find Hosokawa Tomotaka and wanted to be his life-saving talisman, but unfortunately it failed in the end.
After Mitsui Amu took over, he did not give up the search, but he did not pay as much attention to it as Kitagawa Naru.
Now that the Hosokawa family and the Konoe family have such a close relationship, if we can find Tomotaka Hosokawa and get the thanks of the Hosokawa family, it will be of great help to his future development.
"not yet."
Hasegawa shook his head. His recent focus was not on finding people, but on arranging the mole team.
After the last plan was rejected, he revised the plan and selected some less important and low-cost personnel as mole targets.
This time the plan was approved and has been implemented.
Good news just came two days ago. The first mole was successfully instigated to rebel and important information was passed back.
His intelligence team finally opened up, and he was able to explain things to both superiors and subordinates.
"Send more people to search, even if they find some clues." "Hai."
Hasegawa agreed, but he didn't care in his heart. On the contrary, Jiang Tengkong next to him was moved in his heart.
The Chinese do not allow him to voluntarily give up his position. This is an order from Virgo. Jiang Tengkong finally rose to the position of team leader, which is the moment to show his value. If there is no position of action team leader, his role will be greatly reduced.
Great reduction.
Since the Chinese don't agree, let the Chinese help find Tomotaka Hosokawa.
Tomotaka Hosokawa has little effect on the Chinese people, but to them he is equivalent to an amulet, an amulet that can save lives.
It is far more convenient to find people in special higher education courses than it is to find people from China. After all, China is so big that only they can reach out to every place.
If the Military Intelligence Service is willing to do its best to help him, maybe the Chinese can actually find him.
If he found the person and notified the Hosokawa family, even if Mie Amu didn't trust him, he wouldn't dare to touch him easily.
This is a good way to get the best of both worlds.
Unfortunately, it is the Spring Festival, so even if the liaison officer is here and most of the people in the Military Intelligence Department are on vacation, there is no way to help him find someone.
At the same time, in the French Concession in Shanghai.
A group of people rushed into the hotel and took someone out by force.
Get in the car and leave quickly.
Secretary Wang didn’t receive the news until the afternoon. “Do you know who arrested the person?”
Secretary Wang asked anxiously, the person who was arrested was Lao Chen, the special correspondent sent to Shanghai by the organization. He was arrested as soon as he arrived in Shanghai. Someone must have leaked the secret.
"I didn't dare to go in and ask. I just asked around. It's not a uniformed patrol officer. It's probably the Party Affairs Investigation Department."
The person who came to report was Team Leader Gu. He received orders to protect the safety of Comrade Chen, the special commissioner who had just arrived in Shanghai. However, when he arrived in the afternoon, he heard that someone had just been arrested here.
Realizing that something was wrong, he immediately inquired carefully and finally determined that the special correspondent had been arrested.
"You go immediately to confirm the situation. I will send a report to my hometown immediately."
Secretary Wang ordered that Lao Chen had a very important mission this time. Even Secretary Wang didn't know the specific mission. His hometown only asked them to be responsible for protecting Lao Chen.
For safety reasons, Lao Chen deliberately chose to come to Shanghai on the Spring Festival day. Unexpectedly, he was arrested shortly after arriving.
"yes."
Team leader Gu took the order and left. Secretary Wang went out carefully. Fortunately, Shanghai is not an ordinary place. There were many people outside today.
After making sure that no one was following him, Secretary Wang came to the Lotus Restaurant. On the first day of the New Year, the restaurant was open and there were many people eating.
Secretary Wang sat at a table alone, and the shopkeeper came out immediately after seeing Secretary Wang.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
"Pair me with two special dishes and a jug of good wine."
Secretary Wang smiled, and soon the dishes were served. Before the waiter left, Secretary Wang exchanged hands with his under the table.
The shopkeeper was Director Pan, who went to the back and waited before delivering the food. Secretary Wang came to him in person, and there was definitely something important. When the waiter came back, he immediately took the note in his hand.
When he saw the content, he was stunned for a moment.
The special correspondent was actually arrested. A telegram was sent from his hometown years ago, telling them that a special correspondent would come to Shanghai soon and asked them to do a good job in protecting them.
The special correspondent arrived on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they only found out yesterday.
Now people are arrested as soon as they arrive?
Director Pan did not dare to neglect, so he immediately went to the backyard, went to the basement, and had someone take out the radio and send the report himself.
Nanjing, Party Affairs Investigation Division.
Old Ghost Xu grabbed the microphone and shouted excitedly: "We have caught the person, great. I order them to send the person to Nanjing immediately. They must keep it strictly confidential and there must be no mistakes."
This year has been great, and I received good news on the first day of the new year. A special correspondent of the Red Party actually arrived in Shanghai and was discovered by people in Shanghai District.
To be precise, what was discovered in Shanghai was not the special correspondent, but his correspondent.
This correspondent used to work in Peiping. There are several traitors from Peking in the Shanghai area. Someone knows him. After the correspondent and the special correspondent arrived in Shanghai today, the special correspondent thought that they were safe, so he gave the correspondent a day off and let him go out for a walk.
.
After all, it was the first day of the New Year, and I arrived in Shanghai safely, so I relaxed my vigilance.
After the correspondent was discovered, he was immediately secretly arrested and brought back for interrogation. As a result, he confessed not long after and learned that an important figure of the Red Party was in Shanghai. People in Shanghai were overjoyed and immediately arrested him secretly. Mr. Xu was worried about nothing.
They didn't even let them review the results, and just asked them to send the person to Nanjing.
The people arrested this time were the special correspondents of the Red Party. According to the correspondent's explanation, they were here to perform other tasks and had nothing to do with the Red Party in Shanghai. So after the correspondent explained, Shanghai immediately arrested the people. Because of this, Mr. Xu
The ghost ordered the person to be sent to Nanjing for interrogation.
The tasks they perform are not so urgent and time-sensitive, and they are the same wherever they are tried.
The Shanghai District did not expect such a result, and the district chief was even more upset, but he could only obey Xu Laogui's order and arranged for Xu Lin to escort him to Nanjing.
Back home, Mr. Ke quickly received the report from Shanghai.
When he saw the telegram, his body froze. Lao Chen was also an experienced comrade. How could he be so careless? His business was exposed in Shanghai just now.
trace?
This time he went to Shanghai to contact two businessmen who were sympathetic to the Red Party.
These two businessmen are very powerful and have donated a lot of property to the Red Party before. If Lao Chen cannot bear the punishment and recruits them, then they will be in danger.
Although they are in the concession and have a certain amount of energy, the Guo Party will not care about this. As long as there is evidence, they dare to arrest people.
It's not like they haven't arrested rich and famous people. At the end of last year, they arrested seven highly respected gentlemen and they have not yet been released.
Lao Chen can't be in trouble. It's not yet clear who captured him, but Mr. Ke has already guessed who captured him.
There is a 90% chance that it is the Party Affairs Investigation Department. These are their only enemies. If they are not the patrolmen of the French Concession, then the possibility of party affairs investigation is infinitely greater.
The probability of success in armed rescue is too low, but Ke Gong has no good solution at this time.
"Notify Shanghai to prepare for rescue, and send a message to the two patriotic businessmen to tell them to be careful recently."
Mr. Ke ordered that the two businessmen who sympathized with the Red Party must be notified so that they could prepare in advance.
Fortunately, they are rich and powerful, so as long as they take good precautions, there is little chance of anything happening. The Guo Party does not dare to make too much noise in the concession.
In Shanghai, Secretary Wang ate his meal slowly, and when he finished, he came to the counter to pay.
He didn't leave, but was waiting for a reply from his hometown. "It's seventy-three cents in total, just give me seven cents."
After Director Pan settled the account, Secretary Wang immediately whispered when he took out the money: "Reply from my hometown and ask us to prepare for armed rescue."
Secretary Wang took the change and slowly left the hotel.
Armed rescue is not that easy. If it fails, not only will Lao Chen not be saved, his people may also suffer losses.
Since it is an order from above, no matter how difficult it is, they will try their best to complete it.
The order from his hometown also shows that Lao Chen's mission this time is very important.
Team leader Gu came back soon, with a solemn look on his face: "Secretary Wang, it's confirmed, it's the Party Affairs Investigation Division that arrested the person. I went to the Party Affairs Investigation Division to find out. They had a car out today, and many of them were dispatched. They have already returned.
"
Sure enough, it was the Party Affairs Investigation Department. Secretary Wang sighed.
The Party Affairs Investigation Department is their old rival, and it is very difficult to rescue people in their prisons.
"Continue to investigate, try to find out where the special correspondent is being held, and be ready for armed rescue at any time."
For them, the only advantage is that because of the Chinese New Year, there won't be that many people in the Party Affairs Investigation Department, but since they have arrested people, people from the intelligence team and the action team will definitely be there.
With just such a small number of people, it would still be difficult to save people. "Yes."
Team leader Gu was trembling in his heart. He didn't know whether the rescue would be successful. Even if it was successful, they would probably suffer a lot of losses themselves.
On the train, Lao Chen was full of regret.
He had been escorted onto the train and held in the middle by several people, unable to move.
When he was arrested, he knew that something happened to his correspondent, but he didn't expect that his correspondent was so unlucky and couldn't even survive an hour.
If he could persist for a little longer, he would definitely be alert or even transfer if he found that the correspondent did not come back on time.
Unfortunately, it is too late to say this now.
Xu Lin led ten people to escort him, and his face was gloomy at this time.
It was his credit for catching the person this time, but the headquarters stepped in and wanted the person directly.
It would be fine to wait until they get the results of the trial and then send the person to Nanjing. Unfortunately, the headquarters did not give them this opportunity. They obviously wanted to take credit.
The official level suppressed people to death, and this time it was Old Ghost Xu himself who gave the order, so there was nothing they could do.
However, if they catch someone in the future, they will definitely not report it so quickly. At least they will have to wait until they get a confession.
In the evening, the train slowly arrived at the station.
"Deputy District Chief Xu, please excuse me."
Jiang Wan personally came to the train station to pick up people. Shanghai District actually caught an important figure of the Red Party. Just heard this
He was very jealous when he received the news.
Unexpectedly, the director was more anxious than him and actually asked the Shanghai District to send the person here directly.
Now that the person is in his hands, the credit for the interrogation is essentially on him. He has made a big deal on the first day of the new year, and Jiang Wan is in a very good mood.
"Chief Jiang, Virgo is really kind to you."
Xu Lin felt a little bit sour, as their contribution was given to Jiang Wan in vain, and everyone from Shanghai was unconvinced.
"You don't know, Virgo has been so anxious that he almost got angry recently. You guys from Shanghai District have helped Virgo a lot this time. Virgo will never forget you."
Jiang Wan laughed and said, Xu Lin wished he could punch him because he got an advantage and acted like a good boy.
There was no other way, since everyone had arrived in Nanjing, he had no choice but to pay them.
After escorting the person back to the office, Jiang Wan immediately began interrogation without any delay.
Before this interrogation, he specifically went to the infirmary to make sure they had sulfa in reserve before he dared to actually use torture.
Lin Peilun was forced to send the prisoner to the hospital because he interrogated the prisoner too harshly, causing the prisoner to become inflamed.
If he had not been sent to the hospital, Hong would not have been rescued, and Lin Peilun would not have been suspected by Virgo. In the end, he would have had no choice but to run away and try to survive. He would not make the same mistake Lin Peilun made again.
In the torture room, there were screams and screams. The torture continued all night. In the morning, Jiang Wan went out with a sullen face.
A total of two red party members were arrested in Shanghai District. In addition to Lao Chen, there were also his correspondents.
The correspondent quickly collected a confession in Shanghai, but he didn't expect that Lao Chen was so tough that he fell into coma more than a dozen times in one night and did not open his mouth.
In order to obtain a confession as soon as possible, Jiang Wan even used the electric chair and almost killed someone, but still failed.
