Chapter 1762 There is Only One Truth (Happy New Year's Eve)
When Cheng Qianfan heard Cao Yu say that the Special High Police accused Hu Sishui of destroying a Special High Police intelligence station and even secretly arrested a Special High Police officer, he immediately remembered what Araki Harima had said before, about the disappearance of Sugita Sanshiro, a close subordinate of Shinta Agata, the chief of the Special High Police Intelligence Room.
"Do you know about this?" Cao Yu asked in surprise.
"I don't know." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "I just heard from Araki Harima of the Special High Section that Sanshiro Sugita, a close confidant of my grandson Shinta, the head of the Special High Section's intelligence room, has not been seen for many days."
"I see." Cao Yu nodded, and then told Comrade 'Huo Miao' about how my grandson Shinta, the head of the Special High Section's Intelligence Office, went to No. 76 Jessfield Road to visit Li Cuiqun and accuse Hu Sishui.
After listening to what Cao Yu said, Cheng Qianfan fell into deep thought. Many of the confusions that had been like a fog before suddenly became clear.
At this point, it seems that many fragmented clues can be strung together.
……
"Let me tell you what I think." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Please speak." Cao Yu said, "Jisifeilu is also confused by this series of events. I also want to hear your opinion and analysis."
"My grandson Shinta accused Hu Sishui of destroying the Special High Section's secret intelligence station at the Qingcheng Garment Shop." Cheng Qianfan said, "In my opinion, this should not be a lie, it is very likely to be true."
"Oh?" Cao Yu looked attentive.
"There is one thing." Cheng Qianfan said, "It has been confirmed that the little maid in my house, Li Zi, is indeed a spy of the Special Higher Police, so the fact that Li Zi met Sugita Sanshiro should be true."
"I understand." Cao Yu thought and said, "Hu Sishui deliberately targeted you because of Zhang Xiaolin. He secretly sent people to monitor you and found out that your maid Li Zi was secretly meeting with someone. Hu Sishui was overjoyed and thought he had discovered some secrets of the Cheng Mansion. He even suspected that Li Zi was sent by you to meet with someone secretly."
Cao Yu said, "So Hu Sishui targeted Sugita Sanshiro who was secretly meeting with Li Zi in the French Grand Park. He suspected that Sugita Sanshiro was an anti-Japanese element, so he secretly monitored Sugita Sanshiro and discovered the secret intelligence station of Qingcheng Garment Shop."
"That should be the case." Cheng Qianfan was lying on the edge of the hot spring, flicking the ash into the ashtray, and said, "It was for this reason that Hu Sishui launched a search and suppression campaign against the Qingcheng Garment Shop, in order to obtain evidence of my anti-Japanese collaboration with the enemy."
……
"Then it all makes sense." Cao Yu nodded and said, "Hu Sishui had people destroy the Qingcheng Clothing Store and secretly arrest Sugita Sanshiro. His purpose was actually to target you, but he didn't expect that this was actually a secret intelligence station of the Special High Section."
"That should be the case." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "According to what you said, the Special High Section has been looking for Sugita Sanshiro. They secretly investigated and noticed the gunfight that took place in Zhabei that night, so they noticed Hu Sishui and secretly arrested Hu Sishui's subordinate Zou Xiaoyu. They interrogated him and obtained Zou Xiaoyu's confession. At the same time, they interrogated Ma Kang from the Zhabei Police Department's detective team and obtained evidence that Hu Sishui's subordinates surrounded Qingcheng Garment Shop and secretly arrested Sugita Sanshiro."
"It's not just Zou Xiaoyu." Cao Yu pondered and said, "Now suppose the Japanese are convinced that it was Hu Sishui who did the Qingcheng Garment Shop. They have Zou Xiaoyu's confession, and Zou Xiaoyu is Zhuo Yang's subordinate, which means Zhuo Yang is also on the Japanese investigation and arrest list."
……
"And Hu Sishui." Cheng Qianfan said, "Based on the Japanese style of doing things, they should have been prepared to arrest Hu Sishui for interrogation."
"At the same time, based on my understanding of my grandson Shinta, he should send people to Qimin Hospital to rescue Sugita Sanshiro." Cheng Qianfan said.
"That's true." Cao Yu nodded. "According to the information obtained by Jisifeilu, the Special Higher Police did send people to Qimin Hospital. However, they did not find Sugita Sanshiro, and the testimonies of the medical staff at the hospital did not seem to support the existence of Sugita Sanshiro."
"What does this mean?" Cheng Qianfan pondered and said, "This means that Hu Sishui already knew that he arrested the wrong person. He knew that the person he arrested was from the Special Higher Section and was already taking remedial measures. The hospital must have made arrangements in advance."
"Hu Sishui is lucky," Cao Yu said, "He arranged for his men to gather at Albert Road, preparing to attack the Shanghai District Intelligence Station at Baier Road, but you wiped them out in one fell swoop. Among them were the men who participated in the Qingcheng Garment Shop operation in Zhabei."
……
"Among them are Zhuo Yang and Fan Jinming, two of his most respected generals." Cao Yu put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray and said, "Now, everyone who knew about the Qingcheng Clothing Store incident is dead, and only Hu Sishui knows the truth of the matter."
He played with Cheng Qianfan's gold lighter and said, "Hu Sishui knows what I did, so you killed most of his men. Hu Sishui naturally hates you, but from the perspective of the Special High Section, this actually saved his life. He escaped a disaster."
"Escaped? Not necessarily!" Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, "The Japanese have always been arrogant and domineering, especially towards the Chinese. As long as they have suspicions, they will take action regardless of evidence or not. Just to say, the confessions of Zou Xiaoyu and Ma Kang are enough to convince the Special High Section. It will not be easy for Hu Sishui to get through this smoothly."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan's heart moved, and he raised his eyebrows, "You just said that the people I killed in the warehouse were all Hu Sishui's confidants. Among them were those who participated in the Qingcheng Garment Shop incident?"
"Yes." Cao Yu nodded. "According to Zou Xiaoyu's confession that I learned from Li Cuiqun, all the relevant participants, including Zhuo Yang, Fan Jinming, Qi Hao and other leaders, died on Albert Road. Among them, Zhuo Yang was the person the Japanese specifically wanted."
Cao Yu's expression became serious. He understood why Comrade Huomiao reacted like this. He looked at Cheng Qianfan and said, "Do you suspect that this is not a coincidence, and someone deliberately led you to get rid of them?"
……
"That mysterious phone call?!" Cao Yu took the cigarette handed to him by Cheng Qianfan, lit it, took a puff, and said, "That mysterious phone call was deliberately meant to lead you to attack the Albert Road warehouse. Its purpose was to use you to get rid of those insiders?"
"Apart from this explanation, based on the information we currently have, I can't think of any other more reasonable explanation." Cheng Qianfan said with a deep gaze.
"Okay." Cao Yu nodded, "Let's continue to guess based on this analytical logic."
He asked Cheng Qianfan, "Do we now have reason to suspect that the mysterious phone call was arranged by Hu Sishui?"
"It's quite possible." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "We can't even rule out the possibility that Hu Sishui called personally."
Cao Yu took a few puffs of his cigarette and fell into deep thought. He nodded slowly, "If we analyze it this way, it all seems to make sense."
"Hu Sishui learned that the Qingcheng Garment Store, which he thought was an anti-Japanese intelligence station and which he ordered to be destroyed, was actually an intelligence station of the Special High Section, and that Sugita Sanshiro, whom he secretly arrested, was actually an officer of the Special High Section. Hu Sishui was terrified and he had to save himself," Cao Yu continued.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "First of all, at Qimin Hospital, the existence of Sugita Sanshiro is the biggest evidence. He urgently transferred Sugita Sanshiro and at the same time coerced and instructed the relevant doctors and nurses in the hospital to speak with one voice."
"There is only one truth, and they are using two methods at the same time." Cao Yu said, "He knew that the biggest evidence of this matter was in his subordinates, and those people were all insiders, so Hu Sishui made up his mind to eliminate all his trusted subordinates."
As he said this, he looked at Cheng Qianfan with a teasing smile, "And at this time, our 'Little Boss Cheng', you have become the object of Hu Sishui's use."
Cheng Qianfan ignored Cao Yu's ridicule. He thought for a while and said, "From the overall perspective, this two-pronged strategy is really clever, especially considering that Hu Sishui is most likely reacting urgently when he suddenly learned that he had attacked the Japanese. This is even more amazing."
"Indeed." Cao Yu nodded. "If we were in each other's shoes, even if it was you and I, we wouldn't necessarily do better than Hu Sishui in such an emergency situation."
……
"But..." Cao Yu said.
"But what?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"This doesn't match my understanding of Hu Sishui." Cao Yu pondered and said, "Hu Sishui is arrogant and domineering, but he is not good at conspiracy and intrigue. This kind of brilliant operation doesn't seem like something that Hu Sishui can come up with."
"Do you suspect that there is another military advisor behind Hu Sishui who planned all this for him?" Cheng Qianfan asked, "Or do you think it is possible that this is not Hu Sishui's doing, and the mastermind behind all this is actually someone else, and the whole thing has nothing to do with Hu Sishui?"
"My intuition tells me that these things are closely related to Hu Sishui." Cao Yu said, he glanced at Cheng Qianfan, "Don't look at me like that, I'm smart, no worse than you."
"There is one point in the whole matter that I cannot explain for the time being." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Are you saying that people from the Military Control Commission attacked Albert Road that night, and that the Military Control Commission's Shanghai branch's Nathan & Co. intelligence station was moved overnight?" Cao Yu immediately understood what Cheng Qianfan was thinking and asked.
"That's right." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "If we now speculate that the mysterious phone call to my home is related to Hu Sishui, then how do we explain the coincidence that the people from the Military Control Commission in Shanghai attacked Albert Lu?"
He asked Cao Yu, "Could it be that the Military Control Commission also received a mysterious phone call and therefore suddenly launched an action against Albert Road?"
……
"Impossible." Cao Yu said, and then looking at Comrade Huo Miao's scrutinizing eyes, he added, "This possibility is extremely small."
He said, "According to our analytical logic, the call to the Military Control Commission and the call to Lafede Road were both made by Hu Sishui, or were instructed by Hu Sishui. So there is something inexplicable."
Cao Yu said to Cheng Qianfan, "How did Hu Sishui know that Nathan & Co. was the intelligence station of the Shanghai branch of the Military Control Commission, and how did he contact the Shanghai branch of the Military Control Commission?"
"You are getting too obsessed with something." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Have you forgotten why Hu Sishui gathered his men at Albert Road according to what he told Li Cuiqun?"
"They intend to take action against Nathan Foreign Company after daybreak!" Cao Yu said, patting his forehead. "Yes, I am confused. According to this statement, Hu Sishui must know that Nathan Foreign Company is the intelligence station of the Military Control Commission in Shanghai."
He looked at Cheng Qianfan, "If we follow this guess, Hu Sishui called you and used you to eliminate his own men, and also secretly notified the Military Control Commission, fearing that his men would not die."
Cao Yu shook his head. "This Hu Sishui is indeed cruel. He secretly communicated with Chongqing and slaughtered his confidants. Either of these is a capital crime, but he acted without hesitation."
"Killing the Japanese and causing such a big mess is a matter of life and death. In order to save himself, a man like Hu Sishui would do anything!" Cheng Qianfan said with a cold snort.
He said to Cao Yu, "Although I despise this traitor, I have to say that when faced with danger, Hu Sishui's actions really impressed me. This man is not ordinary."
……
"You are the person behind Hu Sishui, right?" Cao Yu said.
"So, you are sure that there is someone behind all of Hu Sishui's actions?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"I am sure of this." Cao Yu nodded. "I know a little bit about Hu Sishui. He is not someone who can come up with such a brilliant plan."
"Of course, all of this is just our guess." Cheng Qianfan said, "However, it is actually not difficult to confirm this..."
"Check whether there was a similar mysterious phone call to Nathan & Co. that night, and whether the call came from a pay phone booth!" Cao Yu immediately responded, "As long as we check this, everything will be clear."
"Don't interrupt." Cheng Qianfan glared at Cao Yu, "You want to show off your ability, right?"
"Virtue." Cao Yu rolled his eyes at Cheng Qianfan.
The two smiled at each other at first, and seemed to be enjoying the tacit understanding of "matching a worthy opponent and meeting a talented general".
After the two sides shared intelligence and analyzed it together, breaking the barrier of intelligence asymmetry, the two of them just talked to each other and actually analyzed such a perfect strategy of the enemy.
Both of them couldn't help feeling a sense of pride and satisfaction.
Then, the two outstanding red agents, who were of similar age and even had somewhat similar complicated undercover experiences, sneered at each other in disdain.
"I have another question." Cao Yu found a topic to ease the 'awkward' atmosphere, "Where do you think Hu Sishui will hide Sugita Sanshiro?"
"You still claim to understand Hu Sishui." Comrade Huo Miao finally found an opportunity to mock Comrade Second Cousin. He laughed sarcastically, "Do you think Hu Sishui, with his character, would spare the life of Sugita?"
