Chapter 1002 Hao Zai Automatic Cipher Device

 “Che Luwang?” Hao Zai was stunned for a moment.

“Wu Lucchi.” Cheng Qianfan said, “He used to use this name.”

To be precise, Che Luwang is his real name, but his most famous name in Jianghu is the pseudonym Wu Luchi.

 Hao Zai immediately knew who this person was.

Within the military system, Wu Luchi is a famous person. This person has two most commendable things:

 First, the operation to ‘eradicate’ Wang Yajiu achieved great success.

 Second, he participated in the action to sanction Wang Quanhai commanded by Wang Tiemu, Chen Gongshu and others. Among them, Wang Quanhai's general Zeng Zhengmin died at the gunpoint of Wu Luchi.

These two assassinations alone were enough to make Wu Luchi a temporary role model within the military system that valued personal force.

 “How did he get exposed?” Hao Zai asked in shock.

“Yes, how could Che Luwang be exposed?” Cheng Qianfan nodded.

this is the key of the problem.

 The best case scenario is that Che Luwang's own situation is not secret and has attracted the attention of Japanese special agents, which means that nothing happened inside the Shanghai District.

If not, the problem would be serious. It is very likely that an important person in Shanghai District has been arrested, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to confess Che Luwang despite being tortured.

Those who can know that Che Luwang has come to Shanghai and can provide Che Luwang's exact address and whereabouts must have a high status within Shanghai District.

 “Go see Zhou Ru immediately.” Cheng Qianfan ordered, “call Chongqing in the name of the special situation team.”

 “How to draft the message?” Hao Zai asked.

“Che Luwang was secretly arrested on the 76th. Che went to the street to call for help. He was arrested by the police station and is currently in the custody of the Political Department.” Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.

 After a pause, he continued, "The details of this case..."

 Shaking his head, Cheng Qianfan changed his words, "The details of this matter are unknown, and there may be unexpected disasters. The Shanghai District should make urgent preparations and report to the bureau chief Xiao Mian."

"Have you remembered?" Cheng Qianfan asked Haozi, and then he frowned, "I asked you to remember it with your brain, not with pen and paper."

Speaking, he stretched out his hand and said with a serious expression, "Bring it here."

 Hao Zai handed the small book to Cheng Qianfan.

Cheng Qianfan took a closer look, but his expression was strange, "What is this?"

 “pony.”

“Isn’t it a donkey?” Cheng Qianfan frowned. Well, it’s not the time to worry about whether it’s a donkey or a horse. “Here, what does this little horse mean?”

 “Che Luwang.” Hao Zai said.

Cheng Qianfan blinked. The pony represents Che Luwang. Are the two related?

"Pony, horse-drawn cart, the cart has wheels, the cart is prosperous." Hao Zai said.

 “What about this?”

 “This is the firetruck, calling for help.”

"What's this?"

"are you blind."

"A blind man?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought, "A blind man tells fortunes?"

"As expected of Brother Fan, you can guess all of this." Hao Zai smiled and flattered him, "A blind man tells fortunes. Unforeseen disasters will happen."

 “This puppy?” Cheng Qianfan asked again.

 “Brother Fan, that’s a leopard, let me know...”

 Cheng Qianfan looked at Haozi blankly, "Read it yourself according to what you wrote."

"Secretly arresting Che Luwang on the 76th. Che called for help on the street. He was arrested by the police station and is now in custody at the Political Department. The inside story of this matter is unknown. There is fear of an unexpected disaster. The Shanghai District should make urgent preparations and report to the bureau. Xiao Mian from the staff department." Hao Zai said quickly as he read his transcript.

 Cheng Qianfan was shocked, it was word for word. He took a long breath and patted Hao Zai on the shoulder, "You are really a talent, Hao Zai, it's true."

Although he knew that Hao Zai had this ability three years ago when he inquired about information at the Baicaotang drug store, and later learned that Hao Zai had his own special way of remembering, this time he still had a big idea. Vision' feeling.

 “Go.” Cheng Qianfan said. He had nothing to worry about now. As far as what Hao Zai recorded, fortune tellers would shake their heads after seeing it.

 After Hao Zai went out, Cheng Qianfan sat on a chair. He took out his cigarette case and took out a cigarette.

He opened the drawer and reached for the matchbox instead of getting the gold lighter.

With a sting, a match caught fire. Cheng Qianfan slowly lit a cigarette, flicked the match, took a puff of the cigarette, and exhaled the smoke gently from his nose.

 He is thinking.

It should be said that the "street cleaning" operation he came up with by taking advantage of the French Bastille Day was originally "tailor-made" for the possibility of crossing the border into the French Concession on the 76th to arrest people.

 Without knowing what No. 76 intended and who his target was, his response was a clumsy approach, but it was the safest preset response that could be made without alerting the enemy.

Had it not been for the "street cleaning" operation, the possibility of Che Luwang being abducted by No. 76 was extremely high.

 Now, it should be said that this response method is quite successful and its purpose has been achieved.

 Cheng Qianfan is thinking about three things in his mind right now.

First, the internal self-examination of the special situation team found that there was something wrong with three people. Among the three, which one was misunderstood, which one just made a small mistake like deserting and did not commit a more serious mistake, and which one was the real one? Is there a problem? But there was one thing that Cheng Qianfan had to worry about - if there was a problem, it might not be someone who had taken refuge with the Japanese, but might be a comrade of the underground party.

Secondly, Cheng Qianfan’s intuition told him that something must have happened to someone at the top of Shanghai District. Who is this person? If something happens in Shanghai, will it affect the Shanghai Special Situation Team?

Thirdly, he agreed that Li Baibai would go to Li Cuiqun at the secret service headquarters to help with the mediation, which was exactly what Cheng Qianfan wanted. It was a good thing that he had a legitimate reason to inquire about this matter.

However, this also made Cheng Qianfan even more worried about the future situation of the French Concession—

From this incident, the harsh nature of the French is further exposed. The French are getting weaker and weaker in the face of the Japanese. Even now facing traitorous spy organizations like the Secret Service Headquarters, the French have begun to give in step by step:

Pet is one of the senior French police officers in the French Concession patrol station who has always advocated a tough attitude towards Japan.

Although Pete's statement on this matter today still advocates a tough attitude, Pete himself agreed that Li Baibai came to him, which actually allowed the patrol room to ease the situation through Cheng Qianfan's relatively good personal friendship with the Japanese and Li Cuiqun. , which itself is a kind of concession and compromise—

The pride in the French people's bones makes them insist on maintaining their self-esteem, insisting on not letting people go for the time being, and they are worried about a real stalemate with Japan.

 If this continues, if the French face the Japanese, and even on the 76th, they will give in step by step, then the Red Party, Chongqing and other anti-Japanese groups who are secretly carrying out anti-Japanese activities in the French Concession will have an increasingly difficult time.

After smoking the cigarette and clearing away the mixed thoughts in his mind, Cheng Qianfan picked up the phone receiver and said, "Who am I looking for at No. 76 Jisi Feier Road? Deputy Director Li Cuiqun, who am I? I am Cheng Qianfan."

 …

 About an hour later.

 No. 76, Jisfield Road.

"Junior, if you are here to be a lobbyist, please don't be disrespectful." Li Cuiqun poured a cup of tea for Cheng Qianfan himself, "The patrol room must immediately release the personnel of my secret service headquarters and extradite Che Luwang to me immediately. square."

Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea and sighed happily, "Li Baibai found me, so I had to come here."

As he spoke, he took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff, "Of course, there should be a political meaning behind this."

He looked at Li Cuiqun and said, "The police department doesn't want the relationship to be completely stalemate. I just need to show up in the senior's office and come here. As for what I say, it doesn't matter."

"The French think this is just to give me face? Will it satisfy me?" Li Cuiqun snorted coldly, "Let him go immediately and hand him over!"

"Senior, let's talk to the Fuxi District Patrol Office and the Political Department. If it's not convenient to talk, or if you don't want to have direct contact with them, I can convey some words." Cheng Qianfan was not angry because of Li Cuiqun's attitude. , he said with a slight smile.

Li Cuiqun took a deep look at his junior. He understood the meaning of the police station in the French Concession. Cheng Qianfan appeared here, or Cheng Qianfan's role in this matter was to ease the relationship. , Although this easing relationship may be only symbolic and has no substantive effect, when the contradiction may further intensify, Cheng Qianfan's existence will be reflected.

"Che Luwang can not be extradited for the time being." Li Cuiqun pondered for a moment and said, "However, our special agent headquarters will enter the French Concession to search for Che Luwang's associates in accordance with the law, and the French Concession Patrol Office must actively cooperate."

Cheng Qianfan’s heart skipped a beat.

 Che Luwang’s associate.

 Those who can be called "Che Luwang's associates" in Li Cuiqun's words are naturally none other than the senior officials of the Military Reunion Shanghai District.

So, one thing is now certain, the Secret Service Headquarters holds the lists and addresses of very important personnel.

"I can convey this request to the Political Department on behalf of the senior." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "At the latest, I will give the senior a clear answer tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"It's too late." Li Cuiqun shook his head and pointed to the phone on his desk, "Junior, why don't you call me now to ask for instructions?"

Now?

Cheng Qianfan glanced at Li Cuiqun hesitantly. He had an intuition that the arrest operation at the secret service headquarters had already begun.

"That's fine." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said thoughtfully, "I am only responsible for conveying the senior's wishes. Whether it succeeds or fails, I don't care."

 …

 Chongqing, No. 19, Luojiawan.

“Brother Mingzhe, have a try, the golden bear duck is freshly baked.” Qi Wu greeted Zheng Weilong enthusiastically.

Zheng Weilong squinted his eyes, twisted a duck leg with his hands, and started to enjoy it.

Qi Wu secretly laughed in his heart. After Zheng Weilong was electrocuted by the Japanese, his squint improved unexpectedly. However, he developed the habit of squinting when seeing things.

 At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

 “Come in.” Qi Wu said.

 Mao Shun came in. He saluted Qi Wu and Zheng Weilong, and then stood aside.

Zheng Weilong glanced at the folder in Mao Shun's hand and understood. He stood up, patted his butt, and muttered, "Go and relieve yourself."

Qi Wu watched Zheng Weilong patting his **** with a greasy hand without hesitation, and he smiled and said nothing.

After Zheng Weilong left, Qi Wu took the telegram from Mao Shun. He waved his hand and motioned for Mao Shun to close the door and go out. He himself returned to sit on the chair behind the desk and translated the telegram.

 Qi Wu’s forehead instantly became beaded with beads of sweat.

 He folded the telegraph newspaper, put it in his pocket, and patted it.

 Then he rubbed his cheeks with his hands, and soon a gentle and calm smile returned to his face. Then he opened the door and walked slowly towards the deputy director's office.

"Qi Wu is here." Dai Chunfeng looked gloomy, nodded, and motioned Qi Wu to wait aside.

He is listening to Lu Peichu’s report on the situation at Wuhan Station

Liu Gai, the current chief of the Wuhan Station, and Kang Xin, the deputy chief and secretary, are both veteran agents. If they can work together, they will definitely make contributions to the occupied areas of Wuhan and serve the country.

However, Lu Peichu, the special correspondent sent by Dai Chunfeng to investigate the Wuhan Station, returned. According to Lu Pechu’s report, Wuhan Station can be said to be in a mess now.

 The root cause is the discord between Liu Gai and Kang Xin, the two chief and deputy officials.

 The two men had disagreements over how to engage in anti-Japanese activities in occupied areas.

 Liu Gai advocated winning over the puppet troops and taking control of the armed forces in order to cover intelligence work.

Kang Xin believed that this idea did not dare to fight the enemy head-on, and encouraged the momentum of traitors, which was quite contrary to the national policy of resisting the war to the end, so he advocated focusing on operations against the enemy.

Since then, Kang Xin’s two assassination attempts against the enemy failed, causing serious losses to Wuhan station personnel.

Kang Xin accused Liu Gai of not cooperating fully with the action and was even suspected of being a drag.

Liu Gai accused Kang Xin of "being incompetent and instead blaming Pao Ze". The two completely fell out with each other, and Wuhan Station was actually divided into two parts, led by Liu Gai and Kang Xin respectively. The other party can go to the point of refusing to save the situation.

“You bastard!” Dai Chunfeng’s face became more and more gloomy after listening to Lu Peichu’s report. He slapped his palm on the table, “We are supposed to be united sincerely, but we are just like passers-by, fighting on their own. What are they going to do?”

 When Lu Pei saw Dai Chunfeng angry for the first time, he could only smile bitterly in his heart and did not dare to speak.

He knew that such a report would make Dai Chunfeng furious. However, the situation at Wuhan Station was so corrupt. If he did not tell the truth, if something happened to Wuhan Station in the future, Lu Peichu would be unlucky.

"Seat." Qi Wu waited for about two minutes. Seeing that Dai Chunfeng was still angry, he also smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that submitting the message from the Shanghai Special Situation Team at this time would only add fuel to the fire, but,' The military situation was urgent, and he still did not dare to delay any longer.

“Secretary, Section Chief Liu has just returned to Chongqing after a long journey. Do you think we should let him go home first?” Qi Wu said softly from the side.

Dai Chunfeng glanced at Qi Wu. Although he was angry inside, he was also surprised that Qi Wu actually said "go home and have a look" at this time. However, he knew Qi Wu and knew that there was a reason for Qi Wu to say that. .

 “Go.” Dai Chunfeng waved his hand.

Lu Pei felt as if he had received an amnesty. He glanced at Qi Wu gratefully and hurriedly escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

 Dai Chunfeng looked at Qi Wu, he needed a reasonable explanation.

“Secretary, urgent call from Shanghai Special Situation Team.” Qi Wu took out the message and handed it to Dai Chunfeng with both hands.

"Oh? Is it good news?" Dai Chunfeng took the message and asked casually.
