Chapter 1541 Comrade, it's great to see you again. (Seeking monthly votes)
As he listened to Chikitarahara's report, Mitsumoto's expression changed repeatedly.
Shi Lei's real name is Yang Changnian, and his true identity is actually a member of the Military Control Commission.
In addition, Yang Changnian was actually from the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department, and was a direct intelligence officer under the director of the Special Intelligence Department, Xiao Mian.
"Bag duck fall!" San Benjiro's face was full of anger. "Xiao Mian is so elusive that we have never been able to catch him. He even arranged spies to infiltrate our ranks. How despicable!"
He was really furious. "This is a shame, a shame for the Special Higher Police!"
“This is a huge shame!”
"It's an unforgivable shame!"
Sanjijiro was furious and vented his dissatisfaction and depression angrily.
……
"We are too lacking and lagging behind in intelligence on Xiao Mian and his troops." After calming down, Mitsumoto said, "Xiao Mian's special intelligence group has now been upgraded to the Special Intelligence Department. We have never been able to obtain such important intelligence."
"That's true. Compared to the Shanghai branch of the Military Control Commission, Xiao Mian's Shanghai Special Affairs Department is well-organized and elusive, making it impossible to find a target." Qian Beiyuan Si said, "When I heard about the 'Special Affairs Department' from Yang Changnian, I was also very shocked."
He said with a serious expression, "The Empire's intelligence on Xiao Mian and his troops is really too lagging behind."
Qian Beiyuan Si sighed, "Unfortunately, this was the first time we tried to interrogate a prisoner by injecting truth serum. Yang Changnian woke up at the last moment, and we were unable to get Xiao Mian's whereabouts from him."
"No, it's not like we got nothing." Sanji Benji shook his head. He carefully thought about Qian Beiyuan's report and keenly captured the most critical information. "You just said that Yang Changnian mentioned a key piece of information, Xiao Mian is in the French Concession."
"Yes, this is indeed a gain." Qian Beiyuan nodded, "Also, based on Yang Changnian's answers, it is now basically certain that Xiao Mian is hiding in the French Concession with a legal identity."
His face also looked somewhat excited. "This can greatly narrow the scope of our investigation and suspects."
Mitsumoto nodded, "Yang Changnian is Xiao Mian's direct intelligence officer, this is also crucial."
"Yes." Qian Beiyuan Si said, "Yang Changnian was arrested and interrogated secretly. Xiao Mian has no idea that his informant is in trouble. Do you think we can make a plan to try to trap Xiao Mian and catch this big fish?"
"Fishing? That's a good idea." Mimotomoto nodded after thinking about it. "But I don't think we should hold out too much hope. Based on our experience of fighting with the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group and Xiao Mian many times, we know that this guy is very cautious and cunning. We don't know much about Yang Changnian's situation, so there's not much hope of fishing."
He glanced at Qian Beiyuan Si and said, "However, you can give it a try. You can decide how to do it yourself."
"Hai." Qian Beiyuan Si nodded and said, "Besides that, I hope that the operations related to the search and arrest of Xiao Mian will be left to me to formulate and execute."
"Okay." Sanji Benjiro nodded, "You dug up the information, so the task of arresting Xiao Mian is left to you."
……
Sanjimotoji looked at Qian Beiyuanji with a look of relief. The Special High Police had been searching for Xiao Mian for many years but had not achieved anything. Now, Qian Beiyuanji had taken action and had made great progress, which made Sanjimotoji very happy and proud.
"In addition, I have agreed to provide prisoners to Kawakami Kijiro for testing the truth serum." said Chikitara Tsukasa.
"I will make arrangements and fully cooperate with Kawakami in carrying out this experiment." Sanbenzhilang nodded slightly and said.
This time, the 'truth serum' developed by Kawakami Kijiro was just a trial run, but it yielded gratifying results. Mitsumoto Jiro naturally supports this related experiment.
……
"Shi Lei is dead?" Araki Harima asked in surprise.
"Yes." Nakata nodded. "The captain assigned me to keep an eye on Hirai Shinji. My subordinates saw Hirai Shinji's men carrying a body from the No. 3 interrogation room to the Wolfhound Team. Later, I secretly inquired and found out that the body was Shi Lei."
"Have you found out why Hirai Shinji arrested and interrogated Shi Lei?" asked Araki Harima.
Nakata Tenichi shook his head. "It should be a secret interrogation. No one except Hirai Shinji's people knows about the relevant situation."
Secret interrogation?
After a person dies, he is sent to the wolfhound team to be fed to the wolfhounds?
Shinji Hirai hated Shi Lei very much.
"I see." Araki Harima thought about it and nodded, "Keep watching Hirai Shinji, and be careful not to be discovered by them."
"Hay."
……
After Nakata Mori left, Araki Harima fell into deep thought.
His original plan was to find out Chikitahara Tsukasa's conspiracy against Miyazaki Kentaro, and then operate secretly to further lead to the conflict between Miyazaki Kentaro and Chikitahara Tsukasa.
However, at this moment, Araki Harima felt that things might be far more serious than he had imagined.
After thinking for a moment, Araki Harima picked up the phone and said, "I want the office of Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng Qianfan of the French Concession Central Police Station."
The call was quickly connected.
"Cheng Sang, it's me, Araki Harima."
"Araki-kun, didn't you ask me to treat you tomorrow?" Cheng Qianfan said, "Why? Araki-kun wants me to pay for it today?"
"If you have something to say, let's talk in person," said Araki Harima.
"Okay." Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful and said, "I'll wait for you in the private room of Chunfengdeyi Building."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Qianfan's expression became serious.
He had made an appointment with Araki Harima for dinner tomorrow, but Araki Harima suddenly called him for an emergency meeting. It must be some urgent matter.
What happened?
"Someone come here." Cheng Qianfan shouted.
"Brother Fan, is there something wrong?" Hou Pingliang pushed open the door and asked.
"Prepare the car and go to Chunfengdeyi Building."
"Yes!"
……
Chunfengdeyi Building, in the corner of the hall against the wall.
"As for me, I like this bowl of dry shredded noodles from Chunfengdeyilou the most." Gao Lan asked the waiter to get a bowl and gave half a bowl of noodles from her own bowl to Mancang. "You have a big appetite, so one bowl of noodles is definitely not enough. Eat more."
"Enough, enough, brother." Mancang said.
"Just eat it if I tell you to." Gao Lan said with a smile.
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Everything has been arranged. You will leave tonight. Someone will take you through the checkpoints and take the water route."
"Yeah." Mancang nodded.
"When you arrive at the team, please say hello to our comrades on our behalf," said Gao Lan.
His eyes were full of envy. During the Red Armed Forces period, he was the deputy company commander of the Independent Division of the Zhejiang West Red Army. He was more eager than anyone else to return to the team and fight the enemy with real guns and real swords.
Last month, the headquarters and the General Military Commission, in response to the nationwide anti-Red climax launched by the Kuomintang reactionaries, required the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to not only smash the Japanese army's raids and persist in the guerrilla resistance behind enemy lines, but also to eliminate all attacks from the capitulationists and diehards under the general task of smashing the Japanese army's raids and persisting in the guerrilla resistance behind enemy lines.
Specifically in the areas where the New Fourth Army was struggling, the New Fourth Army in southern Jiangsu was required to "vigorously develop northern Jiangsu" and "those in the south of the Yangtze River should develop to the entire Songhu, Shanghai-Hangzhou, and Sujia Railways, and exceed the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway to the seaside."
In this latest situation of facing arduous struggles against the Japanese, puppet and diehard forces, the Shanghai local party organization organized some comrades and patriotic youth to join the New Fourth Army and support the team's anti-enemy struggle with practical actions.
……
"Although you are young, you are already a well-tested Bolshevik fighter." Gao Lan warned, "Many patriotic young people are traveling with you this time. They are full of revolutionary enthusiasm and have a firm hatred for the Japanese invaders. However, they lack experience in struggle. You have to be more careful and take good care of everyone along the way."
"Yeah, I remember." Mancang nodded.
Then he asked Gao Lan, "Brother, are the noodles here expensive?"
"Don't worry, brother. I can still afford to treat you to a bowl of noodles." Gao Lan said with a smile.
Mancang was a poor child. His father was a Bolshevik fighter. After the April 12 Incident, the Kuomintang reactionaries in Hangzhou also began to purge the party, and Mancang's father was arrested and sacrificed.
It was Comrade Fang Jinghua who worked hard to find the mother and son who were begging and wandering with Mancang. Not long after, Mancang's mother also died.
This time Mancang was leaving Shanghai to join the team. Gao Lan asked him that he had been in Shanghai for two or three years and was about to leave Shanghai, so she wanted to take him to eat something delicious.
"I heard that the dried shredded noodles at Chunfengdeyilou are delicious. Uncle Fang said that after the revolution is victorious, he will take me to eat eight bowls of noodles."
Then Mancang said he wanted to eat the dry vermicelli noodles from Chunfengdeyilou.
Gao Lan smiled and asked, "Aren't you going to wait for Secretary Fang to come back and treat you to noodles?"
Mancang smiled and said that maybe he would be sacrificed at some point while joining the team this time, and he wouldn’t have anything to eat then.
Gao Lan scolded him and told him not to talk nonsense, but on the day of departure, he still brought Mancang to Chunfengdeyilou to eat noodles.
Seeing Mancang eating happily, Gao Lan's face was also full of smiles.
……
Just at this time, two black cars stopped at the intersection outside Chunfengdeyi Building.
Three people got out of the car in front. All three of them had gun holsters slung across their shoulders and looked around vigilantly.
Then one of them walked up and opened the door of the car behind.
It’s Cheng Qianfan.
Gao Lan immediately recognized the man who got off the car. It was none other than Cheng Qianfan, deputy chief inspector of the Central Police Station in the French Concession, the notorious pro-Japanese 'Little General Cheng' who hated the color red and had the blood of Red Party members on his hands.
"It's Cheng Qianfan, eat your noodles and don't look around." Gao Lan warned in a low voice.
"Yeah." Mancang had rich experience in struggle. He buried his head in eating noodles and drank the noodle soup happily.
Led by the manager of Chunfengdeyi Building, Cheng Qianfan walked through the lobby and headed towards the stairs.
He was wearing sunglasses and looked arrogant, scanning the hall with his eyes.
Suddenly, he saw two men eating noodles in the corner.
His thoughts went back to Hangzhou four years ago, to the Maiyu Bridge Wharf, and to the comrade who, surrounded by the enemy, rushed desperately, fired into the sky, and warned his party comrades at the cost of his life.
Because he recognized that the older of the two men eating noodles was the comrade at Maiyu Bridge Wharf, who led a team of comrades and almost got surrounded by the Party Affairs Investigation Office.
Cheng Qianfan's eyes swept over without pausing for a moment. His leather boots stepped on the wooden stairs, making a clattering sound, and he soon disappeared into the corridor on the second floor.
Gao Lan didn't move.
He smiled and watched Mancang finish his noodles and drink the soup. Then he called the waiter, paid for the noodles, and left with Mancang.
Pity.
He thought to himself that if it was at night and he had a gun with him, he would be able to ambush and kill the traitor Cheng Qianfan with one shot.
……
Private room on the second floor.
Cheng Qianfan stood at the window with a cigarette in his mouth. He watched the comrade and his companion leave the hall. The two of them soon disappeared into the bustling crowd on the street.
"Comrade, it's nice to see you again after four years." Cheng Qianfan smiled and flicked the ash off his cigarette. "It's great."
After waiting for about half an hour, Araki Harima's car stopped at the door of Chunfengdeyi Building.
"Boss Huang." Hou Pingliang greeted him downstairs, "Brother Fan is already waiting for you."
Araki Harima nodded, looked around, and under the guidance of Hou Pingliang, he walked straight through the hall and went up to the private room on the second floor.
"Boss Huang." Cheng Qianfan sat on a chair, crossed his legs, and saw Araki Harima coming in. He smiled and said, "You are late. You will have to drink three glasses of wine as punishment."
"It's my fault, it's my fault." Araki Harima said with a laugh.
"Everyone, go out." Cheng Qianfan waved his hand. "Boss Huang and I have something to discuss. Don't let anyone disturb us."
"Yes, Brother Fan." Hou Pingliang waved his hand and led everyone to retreat.
……
"Araki-kun." Cheng Qianfan stood up and poured tea for Araki Harima, and asked casually, "Why do you want to see me so urgently?"
"I found out that Shinji Hirai is investigating you." said Araki Harima.
"Hirai Shinji?" After Cheng Qianfan poured tea for Araki Harima, he looked at Araki Harima with a surprised look, and then continued to pour tea into his own cup and asked, "Investigate me?"
He chuckled, "What is that guy checking me on again?"
"Nakata Moriichi reported to me that Hirai Shinji's people are secretly investigating the relationship between you and Shi Lei." Araki Harima said.
"Who? Shi Lei?" Cheng Qianfan was slightly surprised at first, then he looked thoughtful, "Oh, I remember now, is it the Central Bureau member who defected to the Empire?"
His heart skipped a beat.
Hirai Shinji was actually investigating his relationship with Yang Changnian. Was Yang Changnian exposed? Or did the enemy discover some clues?
"It's that man." Araki Harima said, "When this man was captured, it was you, Miyazaki-kun, who helped me persuade him to surrender."
"Of course I remember this." Cheng Qianfan nodded, with a look of suspicion and confusion on his face, "That guy Hirai Shinji wants to help Chibehara Tsukasa deal with me and wants to collect evidence to frame me. I understand this, but -"
"Why is he investigating me?" He handed a cigarette to Araki Harima and said, "This is really inexplicable! Why is he investigating the relationship between me and this Shi Lei?"
"I don't have any contact with this person." As he said this, Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a light puff, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
