Chapter 22 Ashtray Celadon (seeking investment and collection)
"Who are you talking about, the ashtray? Didn't she already..."
Not wanting to finish his words, Cheng shook his head and asked: "Brother, do you know why I didn't go back to China with you after the ashtray incident, but insisted on staying in Paris?"
As soon as these words came out, Minglou immediately made an extremely accurate guess, "You want to avenge her?"
"Yes, because I found that the whole thing is not as simple as it seems on the surface. There must be a black hand hidden behind the scenes secretly promoting the development of the whole incident."
"No need to ask, you must have successfully found out the true identity of the mastermind in the end, right?"
Hearing this, Acheng unconsciously showed a look of surprise, while Minglou just smiled and continued: "Don't be so surprised. After all, I am your eldest brother and I know your temperament quite well.
If you hadn’t solved the man behind the scenes, you probably wouldn’t have left for Moscow for training as per the organizational arrangements, right?”
"Big brother is big brother, nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
"who is it?"
"Ashtray's husband is also her boss, Hourglass!"
"Hourglass!?" After hearing what Acheng said, a look of surprise appeared on Minglou's face for the first time, "I've heard of this code name, but why would he do this?"
"Because he has another identity, that of a Central Unification agent, codenamed 'Shadow'."
"Zhongtong? So, the guy who shot and killed the ashtray was just a pawn in his hand? No wonder when that lunatic shot and killed the Zhongtong agent who killed the ashtray, I always felt that something was wrong. I never thought that something was wrong.
After all calculations, I fell into that guy's scheme." Having said this, Minglou paused for a moment before continuing to ask, "Since the shadow is hidden so deeply, how did you confirm his true identity?
?”
Hearing this, Acheng couldn't help but take a deep breath and said with admiration: "I have said before that Ashtray is not an ordinary woman. Before her accident, she might have felt something, so she left a message.
This diary, and this diary fell into the hands of her half-brother Aping soon after her sacrifice. Soon, Aping unlocked the secret code in the diary and followed the instructions above to take the lead with me.
Got in touch.”
"Take the lead? It seems that Ashtray trusts you very much. If I guessed correctly, the two of you should have a one-way connection, right?" Seeing Acheng nod, Minglou continued, "It's no wonder, you said it
That's right, that ashtray is indeed not an ordinary woman. I'm afraid except for A Ping who got the diary, even her husband doesn't know about the existence of your 'celadon', right?"
"That's right, just because he didn't know my existence, I was able to escape. Because just when Aping and I were about to regroup the other three members of the same group as the ashtray, we were surprised to find that
The three guys who came to contact us did not match the descriptions in the diary..."
"What a trick!" Before Acheng could finish his words, Minglou couldn't help but say, "In this way, the communication line from Western Europe to Moscow that you have finally established will be lost.
The land has become a death line leading to hell! And in order to achieve his goal, he even kills his own wife. It is indeed Zhongtong's consistent style!"
Speaking of this, Minglou calmed down a little, "I can probably guess what happened next without you telling me. It's just that it's been so many years, why have I never heard you talk about it?"
"Because the time has not come yet."
"What now?"
"The time has come, and Cheng will naturally tell the truth."
"So, that ashtray..."
"Yes, he is A Ping, but he came back to Shanghai this time as a member of Group A of the special latent team of the Military Command Shanghai Station. He is codenamed 'Blast' and is directly under the leadership of 'God of Wealth'."
As soon as he heard the code name "God of Wealth", Minglou's eyes narrowed unconsciously. You must know that he has been a member of the military since the Fuxing Society period, and he has some qualifications within the military.
However, after so many years, I still only heard of his name and never saw him in person. Even his height, short, fat, thin, and appearance were a mystery. Therefore, when I heard that A Ping’s direct superior was actually the "God of Wealth", I immediately
The child piqued his interest.
"Both groups AB, one overt and the other dark, are each other's allies, and at the same time they check and balance each other. It is really in line with Dai Li's old fox's usual behavior! So A Ping should have taken over with the 'God of Wealth', right?"
"Yes, I did, but it was on the phone. Aping also asked to meet with him, but he refused on the spot."
"Such a high level of vigilance is worthy of a veteran agent who has been famous for a long time. I have a hunch that we will really encounter a difficult opponent this time!"
After hearing this, Cheng couldn't help but joked: "Brother, when did you become so unsure of yourself? This is not like you at all!"
"As the saying goes, there is always a mountain high. Confidence is a good thing, but if you are too confident, it is arrogance, which is definitely a bad thing!" At this point, Minglou paused for a moment, and then continued to ask, "
Is there anything else?"
"According to reports from our team members, No. 76 seems to have a 'converter' on his hands. This 'converter' is currently being used to hunt down anti-Japanese elements." Acheng said with a solemn expression.
After thinking for a moment, Minglou asked: "Can you confirm the true identity of this 'transformer'?"
"No." Acheng shook his head and said, "But there are also rumors that all the suspects were executed by Wang Manchun."
"That means this 'converter' might also be a transparent person?"
"You can say that."
"Can we assume that Wang Manchun first executed all the suspects, and then fabricated a 'traitor', and the real purpose was to use this non-existent person to fish?" Minglou looked into the distance.
Standing on the constantly undulating river surface, he said meaningfully, "If that's really the case...it would be a good idea."
"Brother, with your current rank and title, you can directly ask them to tell you the truth."
"No." Minglou vetoed it without thinking, "We are new here, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us, both openly and secretly, so we must not arouse unnecessary suspicion."
"Then... at least let our people know that this is probably a trap, right?"
"Okay. Find another opportunity to report this matter to the summit and ask if there are any specific instructions. As for Uncle Li, let's follow the original plan and log in to the police to warn!"
"I know, brother! I'll do it right away!"
However, before he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door...
