Chapter 1763: Anti-Japanese Hero 'Xiao Cheng Zong' (Happy New Year)
Cao Yu thought for a moment and nodded, agreeing with Comrade Huo Miao's analysis.
Given Hu Sishui's ruthlessness, the fact that Sugita Sanshiro was alive was the most fatal evidence. It was impossible for him to spare Sugita Sanshiro's life. He might even have to destroy the body and completely erase all evidence.
"The man behind Hu Sishui is indeed a very clever person." Cao Yu exclaimed. Who would have thought that with Hu Sishui's identity, he could take multiple approaches and link one thing to another.
He said to Cheng Qianfan, "If it weren't for you and me being undercover and exchanging information in person, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to figure out such a complicated plan even if we racked our brains."
Cheng Qianfan and Cao Yu discussed it again, and both of them basically agreed with the conclusion they reached through their joint analysis.
However, Comrade 'Huo Miao' and Comrade 'Second Cousin' had a disagreement on how to deal with the matter.
……
Cao Yu was thinking about how to cleverly reveal to Li Cuiqun that Hu Sishui might be secretly manipulating all this without exposing more secrets and protecting his identity. At the very least, he had to subtly prompt Li Cuiqun to doubt Hu Sishui.
This eventually prompted Li Cuiqun to take action and used Li Cuiqun's hand to get rid of Hu Sishui.
Or, he believed that he could use the relationship between Comrade "Huo Miao" and the Japanese to push the Japanese to kill Hu Sishui, the executioner whose hands were stained with the blood of anti-Japanese patriots.
"I personally prefer that you use your connections with the Japanese to get rid of Hu Sishui." Cao Yu said, "There is another advantage to doing this. Hu Sishui was a die-hard traitor, but he died at the hands of the Japanese. This will inevitably have a shocking effect on the traitors in the secret service headquarters."
"No, Hu Sishui cannot die. At least at this stage, this person is more valuable alive than dead." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
"Why?" Cao Yu frowned. "Do you know how many anti-Japanese patriots and innocent people were killed by Hu Sishui, this traitor and scum?"
For Cao Yu, who has been lurking at No. 76 Jessfield Road for a long time, every day at the secret agent headquarters is a great torture.
He witnessed with his own eyes the enemy's inhumane torture and killing of anti-Japanese patriots, including so many red comrades, even some names that Cao Yu knew.
If we were to say who hated the traitors in the Secret Service Headquarters the most, it would be him, the "traitor" leader of the Secret Service Headquarters.
Therefore, he could not understand why Comrade "Huo Miao" did not intend to take advantage of the enemy to get rid of Hu Sishui.
……
"Not only can we not get rid of Hu Sishui at this time." Cheng Qianfan said seriously, "When you reply to Li Cuiqun, you must also speak for Hu Sishui without leaving any trace. At the very least, you must guide Li Cuiqun to trust Hu Sishui for the time being."
Cao Yu did not say anything, nor did he argue with Cheng Qianfan. He just looked at Comrade Huo Miao.
He wanted to hear what Cheng Qianfan had to say. If Cheng Qianfan's explanation could not convince him, he would stick to his own opinion.
"First of all, we have to make one thing clear, which is what we just discussed." Cheng Qianfan said, "In fact, more evidence is no longer important to the Japanese, and there is no need for me to drum up support for the Japanese. What is certain is that the Japanese are certain that Hu Sishui is the mastermind behind the Qingcheng Garment Store incident."
……
"Now you understand what I mean." Cheng Qianfan looked at Cao Yu and said slowly.
He believed that with his second cousin's intelligence and ability, he should be able to understand his plan after hearing what he had said.
"I understand what you mean." Cao Yu looked at Cheng Qianfan deeply and said, "Hu Sishui will definitely be on the death list of the Japanese. In this case, if Li Cuiqun continues to trust Hu Sishui, he must protect Hu Sishui for both public and private reasons."
Cao Yu lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said, "You intend to use this incident to further create conflicts between the Japanese and the secret service headquarters, or to create conflicts between the Japanese and Li Cuiqun, and further increase the distrust between the two sides."
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "This is an opportunity."
"My brain was dominated by hatred. This time you saw further than me." Cao Yu said, "I only saw the elimination of Hu Sishui, but you were already planning to stir up trouble between the secret service headquarters, Li Cuiqun and the Japanese."
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "If I were in your position, I would be more eager than you to get rid of Hu Sishui as soon as possible."
Cheng Qianfan sighed and said, "Maybe because I rarely see those hateful and sad scenes, I am more cold-blooded than you."
……
"Cold-blooded..." Cao Yu muttered to himself.
He did not think that he was much better than Comrade "Flame". On Jessfield Road, he witnessed with his own eyes the enemy's inhumane persecution and killing of his comrades and compatriots. Sometimes, he even interrogated his comrades and compatriots himself. During the interrogation, he talked and laughed with the executioners while pointing at the bloody corpses.
Cao Yu felt that he was also cold-blooded.
He couldn't fall asleep in countless dreams. He felt that if there was a hell, he would go to the eighteenth level of hell after he died.
Comrade 'Second Cousin' and Comrade 'Flame' reached a consensus, and they began to analyze and discuss how Cao Yu could respond to Li Cuiqun about the meeting in a safe and secure manner, and help Hu Sishui pass the test with Li Cuiqun, and finally they reached a relatively satisfactory result.
……
The two came out of the hot spring, changed their clothes, and found a private room to have tea.
Cao Yu picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, flipped through it casually, and suddenly his expression became strange.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Qianfan poured a cup of tea for Cao Yu and asked.
"Read it yourself." Cao Yu handed the newspaper to Cheng Qianfan, then took the teapot from Cheng Qianfan's hand. "Things like pouring tea and water should be done by a small person like me serving 'Little Cheng'. If the waiter opens the door and sees this, it will be bad."
……
Cheng Qianfan ignored Cao Yu's "joke", his attention was attracted by the content of the newspaper.
This is a copy of the Zhengyan Newspaper. On the second page there is a huge headline "The Great Anti-Japanese Hero 'Little General Cheng'" and a sub-headline "After enduring shame and humiliation for thirty months, Cheng truly has the spirit of an anti-Japanese fighter."
In this report article, the author reported in an exciting tone about Cheng Qianfan, deputy chief inspector of the Central Police Station in the French Concession. This 'Little Chief Cheng' who has always been branded as 'pro-Japanese' and 'traitor' is actually a remarkable man who has China in his heart and secretly fights against the Japanese. When the anger in his chest could no longer be contained, he seized the opportunity and personally led his patrol officers to encircle and wipe out an action team from the secret service headquarters that was harming the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. This was truly gratifying.
"Mr. Cheng is a pillar of the Central Army School, and he holds the Three Principles of the People in his heart. His grandfather, Mr. Gu Zhi, is a veteran of the party and the country, and his father and mother are martyrs of the party and the country. We should have known long ago that Mr. Cheng, who has such a family tradition, could not be a traitor who forgets his ancestors."
"Alas, China has countless anti-Japanese patriots like Mr. Cheng Qianfan who endured humiliation and hardship. This is a great blessing for China and an inspiration for China's anti-Japanese war. Mr. Cheng's move is a great blow to the Japanese invaders' aggressive arrogance and a great deterrent to the shameful behavior of traitors. Shanghai is proud of Mr. Cheng, and the people of the country are also proud of the anti-Japanese hero Cheng Qianfan."
……
"Well written." Cheng Qianfan's face was unexpectedly calm. He put down the newspaper in his hand and said.
"Not angry?" Cao Yu looked at Cheng Qianfan in surprise. "This newspaper has put you on the spot. At the same time, you led people to kill Hu Sishui's men. This can't be concealed."
"You came to me today to inform me of this matter. I should have 'finally' known that the group of people in the warehouse were from Jisifeilu." Cheng Qianfan said.
He shook his head and said, "But you are right. My heroic act against the Japanese might have spread all over Shanghai."
"Don't underestimate this newspaper." Cao Yu said with a serious expression, "Although you and Li Cuiqun are friends and alumni, and you have a close relationship with the Japanese, after this incident, everyone knows about it. The Japanese may start to doubt you."
He said to Cheng Qianfan, "As the newspaper said, Mr. Gu Zhi joined the Restoration Society in his early years, and your father and mother were martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the Northern Expedition. With such a background, it is very reasonable that you have always endured humiliation and had the ambition to resist Japan. It is hard to say whether Li Cuiqun and the Japanese will doubt you."
Cao Yu's expression was more serious than ever before. "Before this, Li Cuiqun tended to think that you led the team to siege the Albert Road warehouse because of the mysterious phone call. However, with the propaganda in this newspaper, he might doubt your anti-Japanese inclinations."
……
"Even the Japanese may become suspicious and secretly investigate and monitor you," Cao Yu said.
As he spoke, he revealed a look of confusion and dissatisfaction, "Such a secret matter, how did this newspaper know about it, and they reported it so openly, although their purpose is good, to clear your name, but..."
Cao Yu paused and looked at Cheng Qianfan. "If I know correctly, this Zhengyan Newspaper is a newspaper from Chongqing."
"That's right. Zhengyan Newspaper is a Chongqing newspaper. It has been secretly published in Shanghai to promote the war of resistance." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "Of course, this newspaper also slandered our party's New Fourth Army."
"Then this newspaper is very strange." Cao Yu said, "According to common sense, Chongqing knew that you secretly led people to attack the people at the secret service headquarters. They should have contacted you secretly and won you over. At the same time, they should have tried to block the news as much as possible to protect you. Now they are reporting it so loudly. This is not to vindicate you, but to harm you."
……
"What did you think of?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a smile.
"The Shanghai Division of the Military Control Commission!" Cao Yu's face changed, and he said, "They also participated in the attack on the Albert Road warehouse that night. They know the most about this matter."
Cao Yu snorted coldly, "You let them go, and this is how they repay you?"
"This is not surprising." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "Although I led people to kill the people from the secret service headquarters that night, in the Shanghai district, in Chen Gongshu's eyes, they would find it strange and incomprehensible. However, Chen Gongshu would not be so naive as to think that I was an anti-Japanese element and was leading the police to carry out anti-Japanese actions."
"The Shanghai district is more likely to suspect that I was being used by someone, or that they didn't know the identities of the people in the warehouse. Of course, they are more likely to suspect that I had a conflict with the Secret Service Headquarters, or that the people at the Secret Service Headquarters angered the French Concession authorities, which led to the encirclement and suppression operation." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Therefore," Cao Yu said, "the Shanghai District decided to make a big fuss about this matter. They made it public in order to make the conflict between you and the Secret Service Headquarters public, or even to completely break up with you."
"If my guess is correct, it should be like this." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
Cao Yu frowned in thought, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, "From the perspective of Chongqing and the Military Control Commission, it is a great move for them to make this matter public and intensify the conflict between you and Jisifeilu."
……
"However." Cao Yu stood up and poured tea into Cheng Qianfan's cup, saying, "This matter will indeed bring you a lot of trouble and distress."
He looked at Cheng Qianfan and said, "Do you need me to say a few good words for you in front of Li Cuiqun? I can say that this is Chongqing's strategy to sow discord and say a word for you."
"Okay." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "When you go back, you can tell my senior that you saw this newspaper while having tea, and that I was very angry. I accused Chongqing of trying to sow discord and that it was a despicable trick."
He smiled slightly and said to Cao Yu, "This is the real thing."
Cao Yu frowned and glared at Cheng Qianfan, "You're still laughing."
"Don't you know that even though I can say a few good words for you, the bad influence caused by this incident cannot be wiped out in one stroke?" Cao Yu said solemnly, "Let alone the situation on Jisifei Road, the most important thing is how the Japanese will view you!"
……
"I have my own way to deal with the Japanese." Cheng Qianfan said calmly.
"Is everything really okay?" Cao Yu said worriedly.
"Don't worry." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly, "This incident will not shake my relationship with the Japanese. On the contrary, Chongqing's approach will help me with some of my plans with the Japanese."
Cao Yu looked at Cheng Qianfan with suspicion. He didn't know where Comrade Huo Miao's confidence came from.
Cheng Qianfan gave his "Second Cousin" a reassuring look:
Comrade, you still don't have a clear idea of how powerful the comrade in front of you is.
"Okay, since you said so, I'll believe it for now." Cao Yu nodded.
Although he didn't know where Comrade Huo Miao's confidence came from, after some time of contact, he had to admit that Comrade Huo Miao was very capable. Well, he was almost catching up with his level. For such a time-tested covert warrior, he could only choose to believe in him.
