Professional issues need to be left to professionals.
Zhou Hexuan didn't go out for three days in a row. All the food he ate was randomly bought at street shops. However, in order to confuse the Japanese, he still ordered food at the restaurant every day. When Peichen took it back to the room, he quietly poured it into the toilet.
Wash away.
At the same time, Zhou Hexuan called Dai Li and told him that a Japanese assassin lived in the room next to him and had been following him for several days.
At this time, Duke Zhou returned to Shanghai for activities and secretly met with the commander of the Fourth Northeast Anti-Resistance Army. After Dai Li learned the exact news, he rushed there in person to deploy surveillance.
Before leaving, Dai Li called his secretary Mao Renfeng and warned: "Zhou Mingcheng is being followed by the Japanese, which may be detrimental to him. I have a list here, all of them are new faces. Send them to help. If you encounter
When assassins come to Japan, they must silence their mouths and destroy their bodies, leaving no trace behind."
"I humbly obey my orders!" Mao Renfeng was ecstatic.
Mao Renfeng can be considered a serious intellectual. He studied at Fudan University in his early years, and later was admitted to the fourth grade of Huangpu University. If he had not dropped out of school due to illness, Mao Renfeng would probably have embarked on the path of becoming a soldier.
As for why you came to be a spy?
Of course, you just have to make ends meet, you can't just sit around at home and do nothing.
Mao Renfeng is a relative of Dai Li. The Mao family was benevolent to Dai Li in the past. Relying on nepotism, Mao Renfeng directly served as Dai Li's secretary when he first joined the job.
As he came into contact with more and more inside stories, Mao Renfeng's ambitions expanded rapidly. Now that he finally received the task, he no longer had to do paperwork all day long, and felt that his future was bright.
Mao Renfeng acted quickly and sent people to conduct counter-surveillance on the Japanese spies, keeping abreast of their movements to ensure Zhou Hexuan's safety.
Yangtze Hotel.
A young man wearing a black top hat, holding a cane, gently knocked on the door.
"Who are you looking for?" Zhu Guozhen opened the door and asked.
The young man smiled and said: "My name is Chen Cang, a reporter from Huguang News Agency. I want to interview Mr. Zhou."
"Sorry, Mr. Zhou is not available." Zhu Guozhen said and was about to close the door.
The young man raised his hand and pressed on the door, whispering: "Boss Dai sent me here, please don't say anything."
Zhu Guozhen hesitated for a few seconds, nodded and said: "Come in, Mr. Zhou is very busy, you only have fifteen minutes for the interview."
"Thank you!" the young man smiled.
Zhou Hexuan is staying in his room writing "Black Soil", and the fourth part of this book is almost finished. To be honest, he is very tired of writing because it is all original and the speed is so slow that it can drive readers crazy.
Zhu Guozhen brought people in and said, "Sir, Dai Li's people are here."
The young man took off his hat, revealing his round head, and greeted: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Chen Cang, a reporter from Huguang News Agency."
Chen Cang is a piece of shit!
Zhou Hexuan recognized the young man at a glance because he had read this man's memoirs, and there was a clear photo of the author on the cover: The Intoxication of the Four King Kongs of Military Reunion.
At this time, Shenzui was still very young, in his early 20s, and his identity was the Shanghai liaison officer of Lanyi News Agency. Moreover, his identity as a reporter of Huguang News Agency was also "real". He also freely married a female reporter and even had his son.
They are already two years old.
Shen Zui was one of the participants in the assassination of Yang Xingfo. He was not yet 20 years old at the time.
Now Shen Zui is having a conflict with his wife. He is responsible for monitoring and arresting underground party members, but his wife happens to be pursuing progress and encourages him to take his son to Yan'an to join the revolution all day long.
By the way, after the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, Shen Zui's wife actually went to Yan'an, changed her name to Moye, and made a big name in Yan'an.
Dai Li attaches great importance to Zhou Hexuan's safety. If Zhou Hexuan dies, Boss Dai will lose a lot of money from selling sulfonamide every year. He is afraid that the local spies in Nanjing will be recognized by the Japanese, so he specially transfers Shen Zui from Shanghai to stay. Always protect Zhou Hexuan.
Zhou Hexuan didn't expose it, smiled and shook hands with Shen Zui: "Hello, Reporter Chen, does Boss Dai have any plans?"
Shen Zui replied: "We have people in the Yangtze Hotel, and every move of the Japanese Black Dragon Club is under our surveillance. It is absolutely safe for Mr. Zhou to stay in the Yangtze Hotel. As for going out, I will stay close to him as an accompanying reporter. Protect Mr. Zhou’s safety.”
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "It seems that Reporter Chen is very skilled."
"So-so." Shen Zui said modestly.
Of course, Shen Zui's skills are extremely good. It was because he could fight and kill that he was valued and promoted by Dai Li. He could do push-ups with only the thumbs of both hands, his head could touch his knees, and he could just crush walnuts when he ate them, and he could carry them with him. The crutch he carries is a weapon.
This person was an anomaly in the Kuomintang spy system. He came from a wealthy family and had excellent academic performance. It stands to reason that he should grow into a respectable upper-class elite instead of becoming a shady spy. The "December 128 Incident" changed his life trajectory. Shen Zui was still a passionate young man at the time, and he resolutely threw himself into the anti-Japanese demonstrations. He fought with the military and police who came to suppress him, and injured several policemen. As a result, he was expelled from the school.
It so happened that Shen Zui's brother-in-law was the spy leader of the Blue Clothes Club. Shen Zui could not continue his studies, so he joined the Blue Clothes Club in a daze.
At that time, the Blue Clothes Club was still called the Three People's Principles Practice Club, and gathered countless passionate patriotic young people. Shen Zui believed that all his actions were for the country. Until now, Shen Zui's passion has cooled, and only the loyalty in his bones is left. Later, Dai Li's plane crashed. With life or death uncertain, Mao Renfeng took the opportunity to seize power. The entire military command was obedient. Only Shen Zui dared to stand up and find Dai Li's whereabouts because Dai Li had been so kind to him.
…
Just when Shen Zui contacted Zhou Hexuan, the Japanese Black Dragon Club also began to contact the waiters at the Yangtze Hotel. After detailed investigation, they identified a hotel waiter named Lin Boguang as a target that could be bribed.
Lin Boguang is a native of Nanjing. He has a sister, two brothers, parents, a wife and a pair of children.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when he returned home from work, and Lin Boguang was stopped on the way.
"Mr. Lin, please take a look." The blocker was wearing a windbreaker and handed over two photos.
Through the dim street light, Lin Boguang saw clearly the content of the photo, which was his six-year-old daughter and two-year-old son. Lin Boguang said in horror: "Who are you?"
The blocker smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Lin, I just want to make a deal with you. Zhou Hexuan has a grudge against me. He lives in the Yangtze Hotel recently and orders food from the hotel every day. I need you to put some in the food." After everything is done, I will give you 10,000 yuan, and your family will be safe and sound."
Lin Boguang shook his head repeatedly: "No, Mr. Zhou is a great patriotic writer, I can't poison him. Moreover, if something happens to him, I will definitely not be able to escape his involvement."
"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements," the blocker said. "After that, Mr. Lin's whole family can become Japanese citizens, and I will send someone to escort them to Japan. If Mr. Lin doesn't want to go to Japan, I can arrange for you to go to Northeast China."
The job and salary are definitely higher than if you were a waiter in Nanjing."
"Are you Japanese?" Lin Boguang asked in surprise.
The blocker smiled and said: "Don't care who I am, you only need to know one thing: if you choose to cooperate with me, you will get benefits; if you refuse to cooperate with me, the safety of your whole family will not be guaranteed! I'll give you three minutes.
Take your time and don't think about leaking the news, your relatives are all under our surveillance."
Lin Boguang was trembling with coldness all over, his face was changing, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you!"
"Very good, just find a suitable opportunity and put this into the meal." The blocker took out a small glass bottle.
Lin Boguang returned home like a zombie and went to work as usual the next day, all of which was seen by Japanese monitors.
What the Japanese didn't know was that Lin Boguang used the excuse of having diarrhea to stay in the toilet for a full hour, and finally waited until the cleaning staff came to clean up.
"The Japanese wanted to kill Zhou Hexuan and asked me to poison my food. My whole family was under surveillance."
"Stabilize the other party first, and the superiors will handle it properly."
"Please, I'm afraid something will happen to my family."
"I'll give you an answer tomorrow, don't panic or show off your flaws."
"Okay, I'll wait."
The content of the conversation was very brief, but it revealed too much information. Lin Boguang was the spy assigned by the Kuomintang at the Yangtze Hotel.
This situation is very normal. Countless celebrities and dignitaries stay at the Yangtze Hotel every year. Mrs. Sun also meets with democrats here every time she comes to Nanjing. How could the Kuomintang agents not focus on surveillance?
Waiters, cleaners, coffee girls... among the various staff in the hotel, there are at least 10 Kuomintang agents. The number of intelligence agents belonging to the Communist Party may double, because the Yangtze Hotel is also the focus of the underground party's control.
Decades later, Duke Zhou and Shen Zui had this conversation
Shen Zui: "Prime Minister, I want to apologize to you. When I was in Shanghai and Chongqing, I sent people to follow and monitor you."
Duke Zhou: "I can tell you today that what you did in the past has no effect on me. Do you know why?"
Shenzui: "I don't know."
Duke Zhou: "Not only do I know that the Kuomintang is following the spies around me, but I also know that the hotel attendants are also spies. However, as long as you have people, there are also our people. We often have more people than you, and we can effectively deal with you."
Anti-surveillance and anti-tracking.”
As the most upscale hotel in Nanjing, the capital, it is the home ground of the Kuomintang and the Labor Party. Japanese spies are simply not enough to watch, and they don't even have a chance to infiltrate.
