"Have you given specific tasks and actions to you?" Lu Dazhang asked.
"No." Zhao Shuli frowned, "This is the strangest thing. I tried my best to recruit me, but there was no follow-up action. I just asked me to pay attention to whether there were any abnormalities in my jurisdiction."
"The goal is very big." Lao Huang said.
The few of them nodded with serious expressions.
The style of doing things in the "Tian" mechanism is the opponent they least want to encounter. The other party is very cautious. If this Japanese special mechanism does not move, it will be revealed once it opens its mouth.
"Old Huang, what are you thinking?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Old Huang.
"'Tian's agency." Old Huang said, looking at Cheng Qianfan, "I was wondering, why is this secret agency called the 'Tian's agency?"
"Yes, this code name is a bit strange." Lu Dazhang also nodded and said.
All of them fell into deep thought.
In fact, when several people first heard of the name of "Tian" from Comrade "Abacus", they had speculations and discussions.
Japanese secret service agencies habitually named the surname of the first or current chief:
For example, the ‘Inoue’ mansion, the ‘Iwai’ mansion, etc.
However, the character "Tian" is an authentic Chinese character, a Chinese surname, not a Japanese surname.
Or is it the word "tian" that has a special meaning?
Several people discussed it for a long time but were unsatisfied.
"The code name of a secret service agency cannot be for no reason." Zhao Shuli said.
"Old Zhao is right, but this issue will be investigated later." Cheng Qianfan frowned, "mainly because we don't know much about the 'field' agency at this stage."
Everyone nodded. As Comrade Huoba said, everyone knew too little about this mysterious "Tian" mechanism. In fact, if it weren't for the "Tian" mechanism that arranged for Qiu Xing to win over Zhao Shuli, everyone wouldn't even know that there was such a Japanese special mechanism.
Zhao Shuli picked up the thermos bottle and poured water for everyone.
"It's a good job." Cheng Qianfan said, looking at Zhao Shuli, and he asked with a smile, "It seems that Inspector Zhao still has some new discoveries."
When Zhao Shuli poured water, there was a smile on his eyes.
"'Mr. Xiao Cheng's observation is indeed very small, and nothing can deceive your eyes." Zhao Shuli glanced at Comrade "Huo Miao" in surprise, and then smiled and joked.
"Please say it." Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
"There is a new situation." Zhao Shuli did not keep it in hiding. He looked serious and said in a deep voice, "Qiu Xing found me and asked me to help investigate the suspicious people who have recently arrived in Shanghai in the past two months."
"If you investigate according to this requirement, the scope will be too large." Cheng Qianfan was surprised, "Is there any other specific direction?"
"No." Zhao Shuli shook his head.
"It's strange." Old Huang took a sip of tea and frowned. "This shows that the 'Tian's agency has not grasped the further situation of the person they are looking for. This method of searching is almost equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack."
"Yes, looking for a needle in a haystack." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea and looked at Zhao Shuli, "How did Qiu Xing tell you? Is it a secret investigation? Or can he mobilize his subordinates as much as possible?"
"Secret search." Zhao Shuli said, "Qiu Xing repeatedly explained that confidentiality is the top priority in everything."
As he said that, he understood why Cheng Qianfan asked about this detail. He looked slightly moved and fell into thinking.
"Looking for a needle in a haystack and paying special attention to confidentiality, which means there are not many ways, and at the same time..." Lu Dazhang said.
"It also shows that the Japanese attach great importance to the person they are looking for!" Lao Huang continued.
Cheng Qianfan put down the teacup and looked at the three of them with a smile. He was excited in his heart, feeling a sense of "strong soldiers and strong horses".
Whether it was Cheng Qianfan, Lu Dazhang, Zhao Shuli, or Lao Huang, the four of them were all the best agents of the Red Party’s secret front in Shanghai. The four of them made a "major discovery" with each word of each other.
"Old Zhao." Cheng Qianfan looked at Zhao Shuli solemnly, "I'll find a way to figure out the intentions of the Japanese, and it's best to find out the identity of the person they are looking for."
"Leave it to me." Zhao Shuli nodded.
"Be careful." Cheng Qianfan reminded that judging from Qiu Xing's contact with Zhao Shuli, the "Tian" agency's style of conduct is very cautious, and he should be careful when dealing with this group of Japanese specials.
"Don't worry." Zhao Shuli said with a smile.
...
Cheng Min pulled a chair and sat in the corridor and looked around with a vigilant gaze.
Seeing her husband coming, the couple exchanged glances: Everything was normal.
Xiong Jiahua hurried to the door and knocked on the door gently.
"Comrade 'harmonic' called." Xiong Jiahua entered the door, turned around and closed the door, and reported softly.
Comrade Xiangwu took the message and looked at it in his eyes, and his expression became serious.
"Call back and tell the comrades in the special party branch that intelligence is very important. Thanks to their hard work, everyone must protect themselves." Comrade Xiangwu said in a strong Huaian accent.
"yes!"
"Have Comrade An Wan further implemented the matter reported by him?" asked Comrade Xiangwu.
"Comrades from the Nanyang side are further verified, but Comrade Pan Ming mentioned that Mr. Che from the Nanyang side asked about the situation of the New Fourth Army with concern and lamented the hardships of the New Fourth Army soldiers." Xiong Jiahua said, "So, the source of this money..."
"Why didn't you report it in time?" Comrade Xiangwu pressed his temple. He had been working for sixteen hours in a row.
"Comrade Pan Ming died and interrupted the contact." Xiong Jiahua said silently.
Comrade Xiangwu was silent.
His eyes were instantly shrouded in sorrow and grief.
"We have sacrificed too many comrades." Comrade Xiangwu said sadly.
"I inform the comrades from Nanyang and implement the information as soon as possible." Comrade Xiangwu said in a deep voice, and he paused for a moment, "Tell comrades that you must protect yourself!"
"yes!"
Comrade Xiangwu continued, "Tele to Comrade 'Start' for this matter, and ask him to try his best to verify it, act according to the opportunity, and be sure to protect this money. Every penny must be spent in the anti-Japanese work. We Red Party members cannot let down the patriotic spirit of overseas Chinese."
"yes!"
...
Zhang Ping returned to the hall with a bit of excitement with a serious expression.
"Secretary." She handed the message to Cheng Qianfan.
Comrade Cheng Qianfan, secretary of the French Concession's special party branch, took the telegram, lowered his eyes and showed joy. He raised the telegram in his hand, "Comrades, Comrade Xiangwu's call back--"
In the excited and anticipated eyes of everyone, Cheng Qianfan said, "'Special comrades in the Party Branch, intelligence is very important. Thanks to their hard work, everyone must protect themselves'!"
Everyone's hearts were surrounded by joy, excitement and warmth.
For underground workers lurking inside the enemy, recognition and concern from their hometowns are their happiest things, not to mention that this is the comrade Xiangwu who everyone respects very much.
Cheng Qianfan pressed his hands and signaled that the comrades to be quiet.
He glanced at the telegram behind him and couldn't help but sigh, "It's the headquarters!"
Cheng Qianfan handed the telegram in his hand to Lao Huang, "A new situation, let's discuss it."
...
"First of all, we need to determine whether the fundraising is indeed in the hands of the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce." Zhao Shuli analyzed, "To be precise, we focus on investigating the situation on Tan Pinggong."
"There is indeed a situation in the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce." Cheng Qianfan said.
Zhao Shuli looked at Cheng Qianfan in surprise.
The important information that the headquarters just called to inform you, will you have further feedback on the situation?
Lao Huang and Lu Dazhang also showed curiosity and surprise at the right time.
Zhang Ping frowned slightly and glanced at Cheng Qianfan.
"There are people in the military bureau's office." Cheng Qianfan said, "According to the information that came out, the military bureau suddenly became very interested in the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce."
He glanced at Zhao Shuli and said in a deep voice, "I didn't know what the Military Control Commission intended before. I once guessed whether the Military Control Commission was suspicious of the traitors within the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce and wanted to eradicate it. Now it seems that it should be for this money."
...
Xiao Ou walked on the road while gnawing on the Shaobing. He lowered his head and pressed his cap. From the corner of his eyes, he could see the person following him being decorated far behind him.
Is it from the Detective Team?
Or is it a Japanese special high school class?
Or other secret service agencies?
Xiao Ou cannot be sure.
He suddenly accelerated his pace and turned into an alley.
Then he suddenly accelerated and ran, directly over the wall of the alley. After landing, he quickly climbed over one wall and entered another alley, making a sound of running wildly.
Here, the people following the stalker ran into the alley, but there was no one in the alley.
The flashlight was illuminated and saw the climbing traces on the wall. The person who followed him quickly climbed over to chase him.
The alley is still empty.
Then I checked the wall and there were indeed traces of climbing again.
Thinking of the running sounds he had heard before, this person quickly climbed the wall to chase after him.
When the man's footsteps were gone, Xiao Ou turned back from the wall, landed gently, and soon disappeared into the night.
After getting rid of the stalkers, Xiao Ou went around a mutton soup restaurant and drank a bowl of mutton soup. When he was paying the bill, he said something to his boss, and his boss's face changed slightly.
Then, Xiaoou followed the boss to a room in the backyard.
Xiao Ou took out two small yellow croakers from his body and handed them to the owner, "Shopkeeper Tong, a ticket to Hong Kong will be faster, the better. This is the deposit."
Manager Tong picked up a small yellow croaker and weighed it, "Sir Ou, the boat ticket is not easy to get now."
Xiao Ou glanced at Zhangguan Tong coldly, "How many?"
"Ten big yellow croakers!" Zhangguan Tong smiled slightly and took away the other small yellow croaker in Xiao Ou's palm. The two small yellow croakers gestured to a cross and said.
A fierce look flashed in Xiao Ou's eyes, and then his face quickly eased, as if he was hesitating and struggling, and finally he gritted his teeth, "Six big yellow croaker! I only have that many!"
Manager Tong stared at Xiao Ou and finally nodded, "Okay!"
