Chapter 1640 Cao Yu in Action
"What's so happy about?" Bai Ruolan asked as she put the sleeping little Zhima in the crib.
After her husband came back from outside tonight, although he concealed it well in front of outsiders, Bai Ruolan could still feel her husband's joy from the bottom of his heart as no one knows a man better than his wife.
"An old friend came back from Manchuria and brought gifts," said Cheng Qianfan.
"An old ginseng. Look how happy you are." Bai Ruolan said with a smile.
"It's great to have a friend coming from afar and still thinking of you." Cheng Qianfan hugged his wife, and their heads were close together.
"Ah."
"You take a rest first. I'll go to the study. I have some official business to deal with."
"Yeah." Bai Ruolan stood up and took a coat to put on Cheng Qianfan, "You should also come over and rest early."
"Okay, I'll come back and sleep when I'm done."
……
Cheng Qianfan was lying on the sofa bed in the study, and there were already several cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table next to him.
He had a cigarette in his mouth and was thinking with his eyes closed.
The organization knew very little about the enemy's "Octopus" plan, so Comrade Peng Yuou could not provide him with many clues.
Even the existence of the 'Octopus' project cannot be confirmed at present.
The only clue is that the comrade who died was lurking inside the Wang Puppet Regime in Nanjing and he was discovered by the Nanjing District of the Special Agent Headquarters.
From this incident, we can deduce two clues that may not be certain:
The "Octopus" plan should be related to the Wang Puppet Regime in Nanjing, or at least it was a plan jointly formulated by the Japanese and the Wang Puppet Regime.
In addition, this comrade died at the hands of the Nanjing District of the Special Agent Headquarters, which shows that the Special Agent Headquarters may have been involved in the plan.
The comrade who died was an undercover agent planted within the enemy by Comrade Peng Yuou.
Comrade Peng Yuou knew this sacrificed comrade very well and spoke highly of him. Therefore, Comrade Peng Yuou believed that the fact that Comrade Hang Kaiqing was willing to expose himself and sacrifice himself in order to get access to intelligence was enough to illustrate the importance of this intelligence.
In other words, Comrade Hang Kaiqing might even be mentally prepared for the possibility of being exposed, and he was sacrificing himself to warn the organization.
Therefore, Comrade Peng Yuou is inclined to believe that the enemy's "Octopus" plan does exist.
However, this is just a judgment made by Comrade Peng Yuou based on his understanding and trust in Comrade Hang Kaiqing, and there is no evidence to support it.
……
The matter was of great importance. After Comrade Peng Yuou contacted Comrade "Nongfu", he handed over this arduous and confusing task to the Special Party Branch in the French Concession.
To be more precise, it can be said that this was handed over directly to him, to Comrade Huo Miao.
This is because Comrade Liu Wuliu, who was lurking in the Special Agents Headquarters, died by suicide before being captured by the enemy. This made the Special Agents Headquarters certain that there were other underground party members within the organization and that the enemy was now secretly investigating within the organization.
Therefore, in the case that the existence of the "Octopus" plan is suspected to be a trap set by the enemy, Cheng Qianfan believes that Comrade Zhao Shuli is no longer suitable to take any action on this matter.
In other words, if one wants to find out the truth about the "Octopus" plan, it is already quite dangerous to start from the secret service headquarters under the current circumstances.
For him, he had a "special status" within the Wang Puppet Regime, and the possibility of the enemy suspecting him was relatively low.
In addition, most importantly, he also had channels to obtain intelligence from the Japanese.
Therefore, he was considered by Peng Yuou to be the best person to secretly investigate the matter.
Project 'Octopus'.
'Octopus'... Cheng Qianfan frowned, he felt he had no clue.
……
It rained in the early morning, and the sky unexpectedly cleared up at dawn.
No. , Jisfield Road.
The secret service headquarters had already started to get busy in the morning.
Cao Yu stood at the window and looked out. His office was close to the interrogation room, and he could even vaguely hear screams coming from the direction of the interrogation room.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Duan Wuyang pushed the door open cautiously and said, "Team Leader Cao, are you looking for me?"
"Brother Duan is here." Cao Yu smiled and nodded slightly, "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Seeing Cao Yu smiling and having a gentle attitude, Duan Wuyang felt a little relieved. He turned around, closed the door, and sat on the chair opposite Cao Yu.
Looking at Cao Yu opposite him, he felt a little uneasy. This face-to-face conversation reminded him of the days when he was interrogated after being arrested.
……
"Team Leader Cao, please let me know if you have anything to say." Duan Wuyang took out a cigarette box, offered a cigarette to Cao Yu, and said.
"Sit down and talk." Cao Yu took the cigarette, but did not light it. Instead, he put it casually on the desk.
……
"It's like this." Cao Yu looked at Duan Wuyang and said, "I heard that Brother Duan was the liaison of Luo Yannian, an important bandit leader of the Shanghai Red Party?"
"No, no, no." Duan Wuyang waved his hand and said quickly, "I'm not Luo Yannian's courier, I just met Luo Yannian."
"Don't be nervous, Brother Duan. You are one of us now." Cao Yu picked up Duan Wuyangjing's cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it with a match, and took a light puff. "I just want to find Brother Duan to learn some information about Luo Yannian of the Red Party."
"Yes, yes, yes." Duan Wuyang nodded. He asked cautiously, "Team Leader Cao, is there any news about Luo Yannian? Has he sneaked back to Shanghai?"
Cao Yu looked at Duan Wuyang with a smile but did not answer his question.
Duan Wuyang was a little nervous again, and smiled awkwardly, "I'm the one who asked too much."
……
Duan Wuyang then truthfully told Cao Yu everything he knew about Luo Yannian.
"Luo Yannian is a long-time bandit. He is an old and cunning opponent. If we want to catch Luo Yannian, it must be quite difficult to start with him." Cao Yu frowned slightly, "We can try to start with the people around him."
He looked at Duan Wuyang, "Brother Duan, how much do you know about Luo Yannian's courier?"
"Team Leader Cao, I have only met Luo Yannian and have not worked with him. I really don't know much about his couriers." Duan Wuyang said with a wry smile.
"Think about it carefully and see if you can remember anything." Cao Yu flicked the ash from his cigarette, the smile on his face having faded a little.
……
When Duan Wuyang saw Cao Yu's attitude change, his face turned bitter and he thought about it.
"Team Leader Cao..."
"Alright." Cao Yu glanced at Duan Wuyang. "You don't know about the living ones, but you should know about the situations of Luo Yannian's dead couriers. Even if you don't know much, you must have heard something about it when you were with the Red Party."
"Those people are already dead." Duan Wuyang looked puzzled, "What's the point of investigating the dead..."
"Who told you that investigating the dead is useless?" Cao Yu snorted coldly. "Living people can run, hide, and lie. Dead people are the most honest. The dead are right there, they won't run, act, or lie. Dead people often have clues that we don't usually notice."
"Think about it carefully." Cao Yu put out his cigarette and said.
……
"Team Leader Cao, now that you mention it, I really remember something." Duan Wuyang said.
"Tell me." Cao Yu raised his eyebrows, picked up the cigarette box on the table, and threw a cigarette to Duan Wuyang.
Duan Wuyang hurriedly took the cigarette, "Luo Yannian had a courier named Jiang Qi, who was later sent by Luo Yannian to the Qingdong Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force..."
"Hmm?" Cao Yu glanced at Duan Wuyang.
"It's the Qingdong Anti-Japanese Guerrillas." Duan Wuyang said quickly, "This Jiang Qi was captured by the Locust Army when they were besieging the guerrillas. Jiang Qi was inspired by the Locust Army and resolutely gave up his dark side and surrendered."
"Go on." Cao Yu nodded slightly.
"The Locust Army secretly released Jiang Qi and let him return to Luo Yannian. However, Jiang Qi was unlucky and was discovered by Luo Yannian. The Red Party secretly executed Jiang Qi." Duan Wuyang said.
He said to Cao Yu, "The Locust Army should have a file on this matter. If Team Leader Cao is interested, you can apply to the Locust Army to review the file."
……
"Jiang Qi." Cao Yu nodded, picked up the pen, and unscrewed the cap. "What are the two words?"
"Jiang is the Jiang of Jiang Ziya, and Qi is the Qi of Qishan, the governor of Zhili in the late Qing Dynasty." Duan Wuyang said.
"Jiang Qi." Cao Yu nodded and wrote the two words "Jiang Qi" on the document paper.
"What else?" he asked.
"Anything else?" Duan Wuyang frowned and thought, "Team Leader Cao, I..."
Cao Yu opened the drawer, took out a file, and turned to a certain page. "This Huo Xingqian, the file shows that he should be Luo Yannian's courier. Is that true?"
As he said this, he picked up the file.
Duan Wuyang stood up, took the file and looked at it carefully.
"What? Do you have any impression?" Cao Yu asked.
……
"Huo Xingqian." A strange look flashed in Duan Wuyang's eyes.
"Do you know Huo Xingqian?" Cao Yu immediately caught the change in Duan Wuyang's eyes and asked.
"Team Leader Cao is indeed meticulous in his work. He is reviewing files from such a long time ago." Duan Wuyang said, "Team Leader Cao is right. I do know this Huo Xingqian."
"It seems that we have finally gained something." Cao Yu nodded, "I knew it, Brother Duan has been in the Red Party for so many years, he must have met some people."
"Tell me about Huo Xingqian." He said to Duan Wuyang.
……
"Huo Xingqian has been with Luo Yannian for a long time."
"He should be, if I remember correctly, Huo Xingqian should be from Huaiyuan, Anhui."
"I have met Huo Xingqian twice. I can't say I am familiar with him, but I can say I have a general understanding of him."
"Just tell me what you know." Cao Yu lit a cigarette, took a light puff, and said.
"Huo Xingqian's spear skills were not bad, and he must have been highly regarded by Luo Yannian." Duan Wuyang said, "So, when Huo Xingqian was killed, I heard that Luo Yannian was very sad and vowed to avenge Huo Xingqian."
"Revenge? Who to look for?" Cao Yu snorted coldly, "Huo Xingqian was shot to death. So many police officers and people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office fired the guns."
"Just like what is recorded in this file, it was Cheng Qianfan, a French Concession patrolman, now known as 'Little General Cheng', who discovered the fleeing Huo Xingqian in time, wrestled with him, and successfully entangled Huo Xingqian, preventing Huo Xingqian from escaping." Duan Wuyang said, "So, the Red Party, especially Luo Yannian, has always believed that Cheng Qianfan was the culprit who killed Huo Xingqian. It can be said that Luo Yannian hated Cheng Qianfan to the core."
……
"It's just the barking of a loser." Cao Yu said sarcastically, "Back then, Cheng Qianfan was just a patrol officer, and Luo Yannian couldn't do anything to him. Now Cheng Qianfan is 'Little General Cheng', and the Red Party hasn't made any move on him."
"Yes, yes." Duan Wuyang quickly agreed, "The Red Party is all strong on the outside but weak on the inside."
There was a hint of hesitation on his face.
"What? Is there something you can't say?" Cao Yu glanced at Duan Wuyang.
"No, no." Duan Wuyang shook his head. "I just remembered something. I don't know if it can be used."
"Tell me." Cao Yu said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you know. I will judge whether it is useful or not."
"Yes." Duan Wuyang said quickly, "After Huo Xingqian died, I once talked about Huo Xingqian with a Red Party member."
"That Red Party member said something at that time."
"What did you say?" Cao Yu asked immediately.
"He said this is a good thing. It is glorious to sacrifice for the revolution and it is a good result," said Duan Wuyang.
……
"What does this mean?" Cao Yu frowned and asked.
"I don't know." Duan Wuyang said, "I just think this sentence is a bit strange. The Red Party has great admiration and respect for the so-called martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the red cause, and the tone of the Red Party member saying this made me feel a little strange because of this."
He said to Cao Yu, "It is for this reason that I still remember this incident."
"It's a bit strange indeed." Cao Yu said thoughtfully, "Is the Red Party member who said this to you still here?"
"No longer with us." Duan Wuyang shook his head. "That Red Party member was shot dead during an arrest by the Party Affairs Investigation Department less than two months after Huo Xingqian's death."
"Why are they all dead?" Cao Yu couldn't help but mutter, "The Red Party really deserves to die."
"Yes, yes, all the Red Party members deserve to die." Duan Wuyang quickly echoed.
"Think about it again." Cao Yu looked at Duan Wuyang, "See if you can remember anything about Luo Yannian's other couriers, or the Red Party members around him?"
"It's really gone." Duan Wuyang said with a bitter smile, "Team Leader Cao, I have only met Luo Yannian and I don't work with him. I really don't know much about him and the people around him."
"As for Huo Xingqian's situation," Cao Yu said, "think about it carefully. Can you think of anything else?"
"I can't remember anything else." Duan Wuyang said.
He looked at Cao Yu with some trepidation.
"If you can't remember, think hard." Cao Yu's face was gloomy. "It's not just Huo Xingqian, but also Jiang Qi, or other people you can't remember for the time being. Go back and keep thinking about it. Come to me when you remember it."
