That night, Zuo Shaoqing introduced all the situations they discovered to Zhang Yalan and Xiao Fanbing one by one.
This fifth latent group in Wuhan has been providing economic intelligence to Taiwan for several years. After their contact with Taiwan was interrupted for nearly a year, they have recently restored contact with Taiwan. The ones they have so far are named Ji Baoxing and the other named Li Changgui. But recently
Both men resigned and have been active on the streets.
Through surveillance, they found that one of the people they had the most contact with was the owner of "Rongsheng Snack Bar" and the other was a young man who lived in Santiao Lane, Zhaojiadun. They had very frequent contacts. In addition, there was a woman among them, but they never saw her.
It's clear, I don't know who he is.
Zhang Yalan and Xiao Fanbing both felt the same way. This group of agents might really take some action.
Zhang Yalan said: "Sister, if you need it, I can notify the Wuhan Public Security Bureau immediately."[
Zuo Shaoqing smiled slightly, "I hope that won't happen. My purpose is not for these people."
Zhang Yalan said immediately: "I understand."
It was also on this night that "these people" Zuo Shaoqing mentioned, Wei Mingshui, You Shaoqing and telegraph operator Liu Xi, were all sitting in the small counting room of "Rongsheng Snack Bar". They had just received a telegram from the headquarters.
The content of the telegram is: "The transportation has arrived in Han. Tomorrow we will pick up the radio station and funds as agreed."
At this time, the lights in the small accounting room of "Rongsheng Snack Bar" were dim and silent.
This telegram made them all feel nervous and dangerous.
Wei Mingshui slowly put down the telegram and stared at You Shaoqing with a gloomy face, "You Shaoqing, do you believe that this transportation is only here to deliver radio stations and funds?"
You Shaoqing also stared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Old Wei, I never believe it! There must be another purpose!"
Wei Mingshui pursed his lips and said, "But what is their purpose? Are they really going to be detrimental to us?"
You Shaoqing whispered: "Old Wei, there is a way. It depends on whether this transportation has contact with those outsiders. If there is, it will definitely be detrimental to us!"
Wei Mingshui nodded, "Okay then, let's be prepared to welcome this traffic! If he has contact with those outsiders, we must take action first!"
Zuo Shaoqing said: "Old Wei, don't worry, I have already made arrangements."
The three of them looked at each other in silence. You knew without opening your mouth that they had the same idea and would never allow anyone to endanger their lives!
On the same night, Zhao Minggui and Xu Wenmei were sitting quietly in the private house they rented, also receiving telegrams from their headquarters.
Xu Wenmei wore headphones and sat in front of the radio, adjusting the receiving knob. She heard the call from the headquarters first. When she heard the first line signal, she knew it was the headquarters calling her. But out of caution, she waited a moment
She took a moment to confirm that the signal was indeed sent by the operator she was already familiar with. With a slight twitch of her fingers, a set of response codes was sent. She picked up the pencil and prepared to copy it.
A minute later, she finished copying. She sent a set of end codes: "Receive error."
Zhao Minggui has already taken out the code book and translated this telegram. The telegram is: "The special commissioner has arrived in Han. He will meet as agreed the next day to accept the important task. Don't miss it."
Zhao Minggui began to think about it after looking at the telegram. He murmured in a low voice, "What's going on at the headquarters? The special correspondent has already arrived, why do you want us to meet tomorrow? Why is he dawdling?"
Xu Wenmei said with a smile: "It's not easy to come here and let me walk around."
Zhao Minggui snorted, "At this time, will he have such a leisurely mind? I have a lot of questions in my heart, and I am just waiting for this special commissioner to explain." [
The suspicious Zhao Minggui had too many questions in his heart.
Xu Wenmei looked at Zhao Minggui, who was full of doubts, and whispered: "Agui, be patient. We won't be able to do anything unless the headquarters explains it clearly to us."
She packed up the radio, put it in the cupboard, and came back and said, "Agui, go to sleep, it's already late at night."
At night, Zhao Minggui was lying in Xu Wenmei's arms as usual, still holding her nipples in his mouth, and gently touching her body with his hands. But he was thinking about the matter in front of him over and over again. He had a feeling that the special commissioner was
This visit will definitely bring him trouble and even danger. But at this time, he must meet with the special commissioner to find out what kind of mission he has undertaken. At the moment, he doesn't know what to do.
That's it.
Xu Wenmei looked at him with a somewhat concerned look, and swayed gently, as if she was really holding her child. The itch on her chest was transmitted to her heart. She said in her heart: "Agui, everything will be fine, don't
Too worried. I'm right by your side."
Everything is quiet. But people from all sides are acting secretly.
In Beijing, the telegram received by Zhao Minggui was also received by Lao Luo from the Second Bureau of the Central Regulation Department. The telegram was immediately sent to the hands of deciphering experts. At five o'clock in the morning, the telegram was deciphered.
At six o'clock in the morning, Du Ziyuan, who was staying at the guest house of the Provincial Military Region, received a call from Wu Jian, informing him that there was a long-distance call from Beijing and asking him to go to the confidential room to answer it as soon as possible.
Du Ziyuan, who was washing up, hurriedly wiped his face with a towel and ran to the confidential room. Fortunately, the guest house was just outside the provincial military compound and very close to the confidential room. He ran there in a few minutes.
Wu Jian was waiting for him outside the confidential room. The two female operators on duty had been invited out by him. They stood in the corridor and looked at Du Ziyuan who hurried over.
The call was from Lao Luo. He was on the other end of the phone, reading out the decoded message word by word, and every punctuation mark. Du Ziyuan was on the other end of the phone, taking a pencil and copying the message.
Write it down word by word, and write down every punctuation mark carefully.
The message is as follows: "(Specialists, personnel) arrive in Han (.) to meet (or meet) (,) to (plan, plan) the day after they arrive in Han (.) (,) to accept (important or special) tasks (.) (?) Error (.)
"
After Du Ziyuan copied the message, he returned to his room in the guest house of the Provincial Military Region and began to study the message carefully.
He knew that very few of the deciphered messages were completely deciphered. There were three reasons: First, it was limited by the number of reference messages. The more messages received, the more references there were. In each message, even if there were only one or two words,
After being deciphered, all the telegrams can be referenced and substituted for each other, so that the main idea of the telegram can be known. The more reference telegrams, the higher the accuracy. Second, it is limited by time. So many telegrams refer to each other and substitute for each other, which requires a lot
Time. But the telegram was received last night and decrypted this morning. This time is certainly not enough. Third, the decryption of the telegram only needs to be generally accurate, and it does not need to be decrypted in full. This kind of telegram is timely, and the general meaning must be confirmed to be accurate.
That’s it, don’t spend too much time.
Du Ziyuan can understand such a deciphered message. The text in the brackets is added after guessing. This kind of addition requires readers to consider carefully when researching. The punctuation marks in the brackets are also added by the decipherer. This
It is a kind of sentence segmentation. When necessary, the reader can also segment the sentence again. The question mark in the brackets indicates that this set of codes has not been deciphered, and the appropriate text has not been guessed, and the reader needs to consider carefully.
Therefore, Du Ziyuan generally has two ways of reading this telegram. The first way of reading is to remove all the brackets and the text inside, as long as he can read it clearly. What he read means: "(Someone) arrived in Wuhan
, meet the day after tomorrow to accept the task."
The second way to read it is to try your best to guess the undeciphered message in the brackets and make the text as coherent as possible. In this way, what he read means: "(An important person) has arrived in Wuhan and will meet as planned the day after.
Don’t miss out on accepting an important mission.”
Du Ziyuan compared the meanings of the two readings to confirm that there were no errors.
Theoretically speaking, the decipherer and the reader may get completely different results from reading the same deciphered message because they have different grasps of the situation. But this time, the meaning that Du Ziyuan understood was actually different from the deciphered message.
It's exactly the same. It's also because this telegram is indeed shorter.
Next, Du Ziyuan began to think about the meaning revealed in this telegram. First, an important person has arrived in Wuhan. Second, he will meet with Zhao Minggui the day after tomorrow (now, tomorrow). Third, Zhao Minggui will accept an important task.
.Fourth, the task is extremely important and cannot be delayed.
At this time, a question emerged from his mind: "Why is it 'the day after tomorrow'? This person has already arrived in Wuhan, why does he have to stay one more day? Does he have anything else to do this day?" He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't understand.
Undecided.
Another question Du Ziyuan has to consider is, what tasks will Zhao Minggui accept? [
In Du Ziyuan's mind, there are only two types of tasks that Zhao Minggui will accept: the first type is the various tasks that latent agents may usually undertake, such as espionage, secret theft, sabotage, assassination and so on. The second type is possible tasks
And "Water Hyacinth", a mission related to Zuo Shaoqing who is on the run.
If it is the second category, then if he comes to Wuhan this time, he has come to the right place!
Du Ziyuan reconsidered this. On the other hand, if it was the first type of mission, there was already a latent agent team in Wuhan and contact had been restored, so there was no need to transfer another team from Jinan. After thinking about it like this, Du Ziyuan gradually understood,
The important tasks that Zhao Minggui will accept are most likely to be of the second category.
After Du Ziyuan considered these issues carefully, he called Wu Jian and Qin Donghai in front of him and discussed with them carefully the work of monitoring Zhao Minggui's team. He said: "We must closely monitor, especially Zhao Minggui's meeting tomorrow. If anything happens
, report to me immediately. No one is allowed to act without authorization. My location is in the room of this guest house, please call me at any time."
By this time, in general, all the forces hidden in Wuhan were secretly preparing.
