Facing Li Cuiqun's questioning tone, Araki Harima's expression was gloomy, his eyes revealed a fierce light, and he stared at Li Cuiqun.
Li Cuiqun also looked at him without flinching. Suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense.
Behind Araki Harima, Zhang Lu and Dong Zhengguo looked at each other, and their right hands secretly touched the holsters at their waists.
Cheng Qianfan saw all this in his eyes, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' laughed and said, "Araki-kun, it seems that I am hindering your conversation here.
With that said, he strode forward, with a bright smile still on his face, and first said to Li Cuiqun, "Senior, I'll go first. I'll leave the matter to senior."
Saying that, he cupped his fists and saluted.
Then he extended his right hand to Araki Harima, shook hands with him and said goodbye, "Araki-kun, I will host you someday, and you must appreciate it."
"Vice President Cheng invites you, Araki has no reason not to come." Araki Harima smiled slightly.
"Seniors are here too." Cheng Qianfan looked at Li Cuiqun again and said, "We are all friends. The more friends we have together, the more we become good friends." Li Cuiqun looked at Cheng Qianfan deeply and said slowly
Nodding, "Junior invites you, but foolish brother will go on your own."
Cheng Qianfan was very happy and walked towards the door. When he passed by Dong Zhengguo and Zhang Lu, he put his hands on the shoulders of Dong Zhengguo and Zhang Lu respectively.
Zhang Lu's expression changed, and Dong Zhengguo also subconsciously tried to avoid him. "For the sake of your director, don't move and follow me out." Cheng Qianfan lowered his voice and scolded.
In this way, Cheng Qianfan took Zhang Lu and Dong Zhengguo's shoulders and left the office, and closed the door with his feet behind him.
The door is closed.
The footsteps outside the door faded away.
Araki Harima's eyes became more and more fierce, and he stared at Li Cuiqun so fiercely.
"Deputy Director Li, your attitude towards me is very bad." Araki Harima said coldly, "Can I understand that you are disloyal to the Empire of Japan?"
"Mr. Araki, is this the courtesy of the Emperor of Japan to break in without the owner's permission?" Li Cuiqun said with a gloomy face.
"Master?" Araki Harima laughed loudly. Bang!
Araki Harima slapped his hands heavily on the desk, rested his hands on the table, stared at Li Cuiqun with sinister eyes, "Li Sang, you have to remember, Shanghai belongs to the Empire of Japan, everything you have now
They were all given by the Empire of Japan."
He glanced around the room with an arrogant expression, "Everything here belongs to the Japanese Empire."
Li Cuiqun's eyes tightened, his fists clenched, and his facial muscles twitched due to emotion.
"Huh?" Araki Harima snorted coldly and leaned forward.
"It's - Li - certain - lost his composure." Li Cuiqun said almost word for word, gritting his teeth.
Araki Harima stared at Li Cuiqun with fierce eyes.
Under this gaze, Li Cuiqun finally bent down and bowed slightly, "Li is very loyal to the Empire of Japan, and we can learn from it every day."
The corners of Araki Harima's lips raised with a proud and triumphant smile, "Li Sang, the Japanese Empire never treats its friends badly.
Li Cuiqun raised his head, his expression no longer showing any anger. He smiled and nodded slightly, "Li is convinced of this.
The two looked at each other and saw sincerity in each other's eyes. The two laughed, as if they had forgotten their grudges when they met. Araki Harima took the part of himself from Zhang Lu's hands.
'The telegram that came back was handed to Li Cuiqun, "Deputy Director Li, please look at this. This is the telegram that your subordinates just received from Chongqing to the Suhu District of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Li Cuiqun took the telegram and looked at it carefully.
Look carefully, and then his face changes.
"The news has been leaked." Li Cuiqun folded the telegram in his hand and said in a serious tone.
He looked at Araki Harima with a serious expression, "Although I don't want to admit it, judging from the telegram, Chongqing not only knows that Su Chende was arrested, but also knows that Su Chende was arrested anyway."
He pressed his temples and seemed to be mumbling to himself
, and seemed to explain it to Araki Harima, "It has been less than twenty-four hours since Su Chende was arrested. Chongqing has actually received intelligence, and it is such accurate intelligence. This is terrible."
"I thought Li Sang would abdicate his responsibility first." Araki Harima looked at Li Cuiqun with a rare hint of admiration in his eyes.
Based on his understanding of the Chinese who surrendered to the empire, when something went wrong, these people's first thought was how to avoid their own responsibilities, rather than reflecting first.
"The secret service headquarters was created, although Li also hopes that all his subordinates will be able to follow orders and keep secrets." Li Cuiqun shook his head, "However, it is obvious that this is impossible.
He paused and said to Araki Harima, "I don't doubt the loyalty of my subordinates to me, but their abilities are obviously not satisfactory to me."
Araki Harima took a deep look at Li Cuiqun.
He had to admit that he was a very smart and scheming person.
Li Cuiqun was not in a hurry to clear away the responsibility for leaking secrets from the Secret Service Headquarters. However, he tried to reduce the possible responsibility for leaking secrets from another angle: His subordinates were not loyal enough, but they were just not professional enough. Inadequate abilities can be supplemented later.
Improved, at the same time, this could also be the reason for Li Cuiqun to ask the secret service headquarters to further recruit troops.
Loyalty tolerates no impurity.
"I will personally arrange for intelligence leaks, and first conduct a self-examination within the secret service headquarters." Li Cuiqun said with a serious expression.
He glanced at Araki Harima and said pointedly, "Captain Araki, I want to know when did the Special High School learn about Su Chende's surrender?"
"Deputy Director Li, are you doubting the special high school?" Araki Harima's expression instantly darkened, he stared at Li Cuiqun coldly and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"The Special High School are all imperial agents loyal to the Empire of Japan. Li Sang, what you say is an insult to the Special High School and the agents of the Imperial Japan." Araki Harima said in a stern voice.
"Captain Araki misunderstood." Li Cuiqun said quickly, "I just want to confirm the time."
He 'consoled' Araki Harima to calm down, "The Secret Service Headquarters is loyal to the Empire of Japan, and everything in the Secret Service Headquarters is transparent to the Empire of Japan. Correspondingly, the time when the Locust Army learns the information should be the most timely.
I don't think other forces will be earlier or faster than the Locust Army." Araki Harima glared at Li Cuiqun, and he accepted and recognized Li Cuiqun's explanation.
What Li Cuiqun said makes sense.
However, Li Cuiqun's words were somewhat uncomfortable in Araki Harima's ears. Although Li Cuiqun's tone was sincere when he said these words, he had a vague feeling that Li Cuiqun was sarcastic.
.
"Late last night." Araki Harima said.
Li Cuiqun thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right, the news should have been leaked during the day today."
He told Araki Harima, "When such a big thing happens, Chongqing will definitely not delay when it learns about it, and will call the Suzhou and Shanghai districts for inquiries as soon as possible."
Raising the telegram in his hand, Li Cuiqun continued, "The telegram has just been received, which means that Chongqing received the information not long ago."
After a pause, he thought for a moment and compressed the time again, "It will not exceed three hours at most.
"What Deputy Director Li means is that Chongqing learned about the accident in Suhu District within three hours, so..." Araki Harima fell into deep thought and made an estimate in his mind, "The time when the news in Shanghai was leaked,
It should be expanded for another hour.
"One hour is not enough." Li Cuiqun shook his head, "Our department and the Military Police Headquarters of the Empire of Japan in Nanjing took action at the same time, and the Central Command Su Hu
Except for its district chief Xu Zhaolin and Wu Leisheng of the action team, almost everyone in the district was wiped out."
He looked at Araki Harima, "Especially the radio stations, the radio stations in the Jiangsu and Shanghai districts, whether they are the radio stations in Nanjing or the radio stations in Shanghai, including the radio stations and their directors and related telecommunications personnel have fallen into our hands."
"I understand what you mean." Araki Harima nodded slightly, "All the radio stations in Suhu District have been controlled by us, even if
It was because they had caught the fish that they learned that Su Chende had defected to the empire, and they had no radio station to use."
"There should be radio stations, but they should be emergency backup radio stations. Therefore, even if they get the information, they still need time to contact and activate the backup radio station to send a report to Chongqing." Li Cuiqun said, "So, my estimate is the timeline
Expand for another two to four hours."
As he said that, Li Cuiqun narrowed his eyes and said, "The time for Shanghai to send a report to Chongqing should be between seven and ten o'clock this morning." "Deputy Director Li's thinking is meticulous, Araki admires it." Araki Harima said.
With a smile on his face, he asked, "Why don't you contact Xu Zhaolin directly when reporting these people to Chongqing?"
"Captain Araki, you don't understand the behavior of those in the government." Li Cuiqun said with a sneer.
Araki Harima was not angry. He could tell that Li Cuiqun's sneer was not directed at him, but rather at the Chongqing government.
"The person who sent the report to Chongqing should be the secret personnel secretly arranged by Xue Yingzhen in Chongqing to monitor the Suhu District." Li Cuiqun laughed, "Of course, Xu Zhaolin should probably know the existence of this group of people, but
, it is impossible for them to contact each other, and it is impossible, and such a situation is not allowed to happen.
"Are you worried that a horizontal connection will lead to the destruction of the entire army?" Araki Harima asked.
"No." Li Cuiqun shook his head and sneered, "It's because the Chongqing authorities have strictly prohibited it because they were worried that they would collude with each other and deceive the public." "I see." Araki Harima suddenly understood and nodded.
"There's something strange." Li Cuiqun suddenly frowned and said in confusion.
"Li Sang is referring to the fact that Chongqing actually called Suhu District directly to warn Suchende that Su Chende had defected to the empire, and asked about Xu Zhaolin's situation?" Araki Harima asked.
"Yes." Li Cuiqun glanced at Araki Harima. This Japanese man is indeed quick-thinking.
"It stands to reason that with the shrewdness of an old fox like Xue Yingzhen, it is impossible for him not to think that the Suhu District Radio Station has fallen into my hands, but he still insists on asking the Suhu District Radio Station. He is not worried about alerting the enemy and causing the Central Command to lurk in Shanghai.
Is the other team exposed?" Li Cuiqun said with a puzzled expression.
"Or, in Xue Yingzhen's mind, Xu Zhaolin's safety and importance are greater than this team?" He murmured and speculated.
"No." Araki Harima shook his head, "I am more inclined to think that Chongqing firmly believes that this team is there. Even for safety reasons, I tend to think that it is a person. This person is extremely hidden and extremely difficult to find.
." Li Cuiqun glanced at Araki Harima and said with deep approval, "Captain Araki clearly knows that this possibility is extremely high."
A smile appeared on his face, "Regardless of where this team or this person is hiding, this message can tell us a very clear message."
"Xu Zhaolin still doesn't know that something happened in his Suhu District." Araki Harima said.
"Exactly." Li Cuiqun looked excited, "We have to capture Xu Zhaolin before he is frightened away.
"It seems that Deputy Director Li is already confident?" Araki Harima glanced at Li Cuiqun meaningfully and asked.
"As I expected, I should have caught Xu Zhaolin's tail by now." Li Cuiqun said with a reserved smile.
"Brother Fan, there is no tail." Hao Zai glanced at the rearview mirror and said.
"Li Cuiqun is a smart man. He will not send anyone to follow me." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and lightly tapped his thigh with his right index finger.
As he spoke, the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc, "How was it? How did it feel to visit the secret service headquarters?"
The task he gave Hao Zai was to walk around No. 76 Jisi Feier Road without arousing suspicion. Therefore, Cheng Qianfan deliberately ordered Hao Zai and the little monkey to follow him.
Arriving at the door of Li Cuiqun's office, Zhang Lu would definitely find a way to ask the two of them to leave, and Hao Zi would have the opportunity to "visit" along the way.
"It's not good." Hao Zai said with a serious expression, "The first floor of the west building should be the torture room. You can hear the screams from a distance."
His tone was low and sad, "It makes me feel bad to think that some brothers are being tortured.
"Yes, in order to resist the Japanese invasion and for the party and the country, so many of our brothers braved the dangers and rushed to the front line." Cheng Qianfan sighed and patted the hero on the back. "Those screams show that they are not
The Communists who did not succumb to the Japanese invaders deserve our admiration. They are all good men and revolutionary soldiers loyal to the party and the country."
Hao Zai nodded vigorously, "Brother Fan, I understand, I just feel uncomfortable.
Cheng Qianfan patted Haozi on the shoulder again, "Did you find anything special?"
"Special discovery?" Hao Zai was slightly surprised.
"For example, you may find a certain building mysterious, a person or even an object you may subconsciously become interested in after seeing it, or you may hear a sentence along the way and feel it is worth pondering," Cheng Qianfan said.
Hao Zai fell into deep thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
