Chapter 210 Zhongyang’s call back (3rd update [Duck Clan Old Five Buried Heart] Alliance Leader 5/6)
No. 3 Baliqiao Road is not a residence, it is a sesame seed shop.
Baliqiao's lard residue sesame cakes are quite famous in this area. The owner came to Shanghai from Shandong in the early years to make a living. This sesame cake shop has been around for more than ten years.
Even though it was already night, business was still good.
Cheng Qianfan bought two sesame cakes, one of which he ate while walking, and the other wrapped in oil paper.
He walked along Baliqiao Road. After walking for a while, he turned into an alley and continued walking through the streets and alleys. After walking for about twenty minutes, he stopped at the door of a house.
He walked around the yard, holding a flashlight in his hand, and found dozens of cigarette butts in a corner. Cheng Qianfan frowned.
He took out the oil paper left over from eating sesame cakes from his pocket, picked up the cigarette butts, and wrapped them up.
After doing all this, he walked back to the door.
There is a wooden board on the iron door. Under the moonlight, you can vaguely see the words written on it: Accumulating virtue and doing good deeds.
He sniffed it and saw the smell of new paint.
Cheng Qianfan knocked on the door.
A voice came from inside, "Who are you looking for?"
"Mrs. Luo asked me to tutor my young master in French."
The door opened, revealing a white-haired head, "Come in quickly."
Cheng Qianfan stepped in in a flash, and the iron door behind him closed with a bang.
"Go straight." The old man did not follow, but stood guard behind the door.
The yard is neither big nor small.
Cheng Qianfan walked about twenty meters along the path. He couldn't really see the scenery in the yard at night, but he could smell the fragrance of flowers.
The door to the main room has been opened.
Cheng Qianfan strolled in and saw his sister sitting on a chair waiting for him.
"Sister." Cheng Qianfan smiled and shouted sweetly.
"You're tired, drink some water." Cheng Min picked up the teacup and handed it to his brother.
"Sister, you like to eat the sesame cakes from Baliqiao." Cheng Qianfan handed over the sesame cakes wrapped in oil paper at the same time.
One took the tea cup and the other took the sesame cakes. The two siblings looked at each other and smiled.
…
"This place is not safe." Cheng Qianfan said. He took a small bite of the sesame seed cake, but his sister insisted on sharing half of it with him.
Cheng Min's expression immediately became serious.
Her party membership and participation in revolutionary work are longer than those of Cheng Qianfan. However, Cheng Min knows the principles of specialization, and in terms of experience in latent work, her younger brother is much better than him.
"The fragrance of flowers in the yard." Cheng Qianfan said, "I walked along the way, and there was only this place where there was the fragrance of flowers. This will provide a very clear direction."
"The wooden sign on the iron gate should be the house number of this place."
"Now it has been replaced with the words 'accumulate virtue and do good deeds'. It smells like new paint. Taking away the house number is to hide it."
Then, he took out his cigarette butts wrapped in oil paper and said, "I found this in the corner. The garbage must be disposed of cleanly. So many cigarette butts directly tell anyone who is interested that a large number of people gathered here for a meeting at a certain moment."
Every time Cheng Qianfan said something, Cheng Min's serious expression became more serious.
This house was rented by the organization, and Cheng Min only came here this afternoon.
She vaguely knew that the Shanghai Listing Committee had just held a meeting before.
It can be inferred that this house was originally rented for meetings.
Because the lease was for a short period of half a month and would expire in a few days, Cheng Min, who needed to find a secluded location as a contact point, was allowed to use the house by the organization.
Cheng Min is quite satisfied with this place. The location is relatively remote. The house has two front and rear doors, as well as a side door for evacuation.
But he didn't expect that his younger brother, who was just a "new arrival", pointed out several safety hazards in this house.
Especially looking at the cigarette butts wrapped in oil paper, Cheng Min was even more frightened.
At this moment, my sister felt both proud and distressed.
I am proud that my younger brother is very good. He is a very, very good red agent!
What's distressing is that my brother's caution has been integrated into his bones. This can only explain one situation. How cruel his working environment is. One wrong step, one wrong detail, and it will lead to an abyss!
…
Hongkou District.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao looked sad as he looked at his nephew who had been shot seven times and his head had been smashed.
Hua Mingxian, deputy director of the Hongkou District Police Department of the Shanghai Special City of the Nationalist Government, accompanied the military attache of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai with a cautious look, but he was secretly feeling happy in his heart.
When he learned that the deceased was Yingzuo Zhenzhao's nephew, Hua Mingxian almost burst into laughter.
Although the police station has the responsibility of maintaining local security, it is clear at a glance that this case was committed by state agents. There is not much pressure on Hua Mingxian's shoulders. Even if he was held accountable for this case, his superiors also knew that Hua Mingxian was responsible for the case.
The wise man's difficulties will have his own compensation.
In addition, the number of Japanese in Hongkou District is quite large, and the Japanese have great influence and energy in Hongkou District. As the deputy chief of the police station, he is often criticized by the Japanese for being cowardly.
The nephew of an old spy, Yingzuo Zhenzhao, was killed, and this should come to light.
"Your Excellency Yingzuo, I will definitely instruct my subordinates to investigate this matter as soon as possible and strive to solve the case as soon as possible." Hua Mingxian said with an extremely serious expression.
"Director Hua, in three days, in three days, I will receive the news that the murderer has been apprehended, otherwise." Yingzuo Zhenzhao said with a gloomy face, "I will lodge stern representations with your government."
"Try your best, I will try my best." Hua Mingxian seemed not to have heard Yingzuo Zhenzhao's threat, and nodded.
However, in the end, he still couldn't hold it back completely, and stabbed Yingzuo Zhenzhao in an unscrupulous manner, "The deceased died in a terrible manner, his head was blown open, and his methods were cruel. We will do our best to hunt down such a murderer!"
Yingzuo Zhenzhao narrowed his eyes, glanced at Hua Mingxian fiercely, and snorted angrily, "Deputy Director Hua, take care of yourself!"
…
Back in the car, Yingzuo Zhenzhao took off his gloves, his face extremely angry and sad.
"What was found?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao asked in a deep voice.
Among his entourage was a forensic expert from a special high school.
This person is not only a forensic doctor, but also extremely good at analyzing details.
"Yingyi was probably shot in the wrist by the murderer first, the pistol fell, and he lost the ability to resist, and then he was shot repeatedly at close range." The forensic doctor paused and said with an angry expression, "After Yingyi was killed, the murderer shot him again
Shot in the head."
At this time, a Japanese man next to him said, "Sir, is it possible that Eiichi was kidnapped by the other party, so he deliberately shot the deceased in the head to hide his identity."
"It was Eiichi who was killed." Kage Sasaki shook his head. He checked the body of the deceased, and there were some characteristics unknown to outsiders that proved that the deceased was Eiichi Kage.
"Hao Er was probably the first to be killed. He was first attacked with lime powder and couldn't open his eyes, and then he was shot and killed by the opponent at close range." The forensic doctor continued, "There was lime powder on the ground at the door. It should have been the opponent.
When I asked to open the door, I suddenly attacked Koji."
"How is Eguchi Hideya's injury?" Kage Sasaki asked.
"Eguchi-kun has lost too much blood and is undergoing resuscitation," the forensic doctor said.
"What do you think?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao asked.
"Eguchi-kun was shot twice, one of which was shot in the shoulder when he was shooting at the assailant, and the second shot was shot in the shoulder by the assailant from behind when Eguchi-kun was trying to escape, which is consistent with the situation at the gunfight scene," the forensic doctor said.
.
"The opponent's target was Eiichi. After killing Koji, he immediately attacked Eiichi. This gave Eguchi Eiichi a chance to breathe and gave him the ability to resist. The opponent did not dare to fight, so Eguchi-kun was only injured and could barely survive.
was spared.”
Kage Sasaki was silent. He did not doubt Eguchi Hideya. In fact, he had no reason to doubt this warrior who had just been commended by the Imperial Military. He just asked subconsciously out of the thinking of a veteran agent:
Two are dead and one is alive. The one who is alive needs to be confirmed first to rule out suspicion.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao clenched his fists and spit out a name with almost gritted teeth: Secret Service!
There is no evidence and no need for evidence. He knows where the murderer comes from:
Japan’s current main rival in China——
National Secret Service!
…
"Comrade Huo Miao." Cheng Min took out a piece of paper from his body.
This is the message she recorded from the Red Heart of the Northwest.
It was not carried with her. For safety reasons, Cheng Min memorized every word of the telegram. Just half an hour ago, she wrote it out from memory in order to read it to her brother.
"In order to ensure the purity of red party members and revolutionary work, ensure the safety of the great red cause, and uphold a responsible attitude towards comrades in the party, we hereby instruct relevant departments of the central government and party organizations in Shanghai and Hangzhou to provide information on Comrade Huo Miao during the period when he lost contact.
The situation will be investigated.
After investigation, the situation described by Comrade Huo Miao is completely true. Comrade Huo Miao is a good comrade who can stand the inspection and trust of the organization.
Welcome back, Comrade Huo Miao——
Xiang Wu, Wang Yong and farmer comrades, June 29, the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China."
Cheng Qianfan was stunned. This was a message that shocked and moved him extremely.
This is not a simple message announcing that he has passed the organizational investigation and is allowed to return to the team. It can even be said to be a certification document jointly issued for him by Comrade Xiangwu, Comrade Wangyong, and Comrade Nongfu, the three old leaders of the Special Branch.
Seeing his brother who was shocked and moved inexplicably, Cheng Min was also moved and happy.
With this telegram jointly signed by Comrade Xiangwu, Comrade Wang Yong, and Comrade Nongfu, everything about my brother during the period of loss of contact is explained clearly, and it can withstand any test. At the same time, this telegram is also a tribute to my brother's outstanding work.
Great affirmation and protection.
Neither Cheng Min nor Cheng Qianfan knew that the message sent to Shanghai had three signatures, and that the bottom file kept by Northwest had an extra signature.
Cheng Min struck a match and lit the message she had written silently.
In the firelight, the elder sister stretched out her hand, and the younger brother stretched out his hand.
The two hands were tightly clasped together, and my sister had tears in her eyes, "Welcome to the team officially, Comrade Huo Miao."
