Li Cuiqun looked at the visitor sitting opposite him.
White shirt, sweater, suit jacket, no tie, trousers, and polished leather shoes.
Even the glasses lenses on the bridge of the nose were wiped clean.
This shows that this person attaches great importance to this visit.
"You are considered an old man in the inspection brigade, why do you want to come to my side?" Li Cuiqun threw a cigarette to the other party and asked lightly.
As far as he knew, this person was the one who defected to the Japanese earlier at the Shanghai Station of the Party Affairs Investigation Office. Even after Wu Shanyue, Wang Kangnian and others were arrested and defected to the Japanese, the Shanghai Station of the Party Affairs Investigation Office was almost completely taken over by the Japanese. The trigger at every turn was this person's betrayal.
"Grandpa doesn't care, but grandma doesn't love it." Cao Yu took the cigarette as he spoke, put it into his mouth, took out a lighter from his pocket, and first lit the cigarette for Li Cuiqun, and then lit it for himself.
"I don't know how much Mr. Li knows about my situation. I will just briefly talk about it, which is equivalent to reporting to Mr. Li." Cao Yu said.
"Okay." Li Cuiqun nodded and made a 'please' gesture.
Cao Yu began to complain.
From his narration, Li Cuiqun heard such a story and saw such a protagonist:
Cao Yu, who is conscientious and capable, was ordered to infiltrate the Red Party, do the most dangerous work, suffer the greatest hardship, and was even almost killed by the Red Party after his identity was exposed.
Such a talented person who shed blood and sweat for the "party and state" was unlucky enough to be captured by the Japanese. He withstood the Japanese torture and did not speak for three days and three nights. Later, he couldn't bear it anymore and confessed to Wang Kangnian.
"Wang Kangnian and I have a single line of contact. I was missing for three days. I fought for Wang Kangnian for three days, but Wang Kangnian didn't even notice." Cao Yu shook his head and said.
"He, Wang Kangnian, was captured by the Japanese and only survived for less than a quarter of an hour."
"Where's Wu Shanyue? Three whips!" Cao Yu sneered.
Li Cuiqun smiled and listened with interest. According to what Cao Yu said, Wu Shanyue and Wang Kangnian, who quickly surrendered to the Japanese after being arrested, thought of his old subordinates who persisted for three days and three nights. dislike; despise.
Especially Wang Kangnian's subordinate Xiao Si. With this person's encouragement, he was marginalized in the detective brigade.
"The Japanese don't like to hear your words." Li Cuiqun shook his head, "Aren't you afraid that I will turn your words into the ears of the Japanese?"
"There's nothing taboo about what I said." Cao Yu said with a wry smile, "It's just some complaints at most."
He looked at Li Cuiqun, "The most important thing is that I understand what I am doing. Ever since I stepped into this door, in front of Mr. Li, I have treated myself as a subordinate. As a subordinate, I feel that I can be honest." Very important."
Li Cuiqun stared at Cao Yu for a few times, and a smile appeared on his face, "Brother Cao thinks highly of Mr. Li, I am very happy."
He put out the cigarette butt and said, "However, Brother Cao has also seen the situation here. He is just a member of the Caotai team. I hope Brother Cao will not regret it in the future."
"Then I will be lucky enough to be a hero of Conglong." Cao Yu said.
When Li Cuiqun heard this, he was slightly stunned, but then he was overjoyed and slapped the table, "Well said! In these troubled times, it is the time for our heroes to show their great ambitions."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
…
"Did you write this editorial?" Li Cuiqun took the newspaper from Cao Yu's hand, glanced at it a few times, and asked with some surprise.
"No, it was written by Wang Kangnian." Cao Yu shook his head and said, "This Qu Junjie is the pseudonym Wang Kangnian used in "Declaration"."
He explained, "Sometimes Wang Kangnian would ask me to write some articles on his behalf and publish them under the name Qu Junjie."
"This Wang Kangnian has studied the Red Party documents very thoroughly." Li Cuiqun read the editorial carefully again. If he hadn't learned from Cao Yu that this article was written by Wang Kangnian, even if it was written by him, Judging from the experience and perspective of this former member of the Special Section of the Red Party, he would think that this article was written by a member of the Red Party. At the very least, he was someone who was close to the Red Party and had a deep understanding of the Red Party’s thoughts.
"Wang Kangnian set his ambitions when he was in the Party Affairs Investigation Department." Cao Yu said, "He vowed to destroy the Red Party in Shanghai. Therefore, in order to better understand the Red Party, Wang Kangnian once carefully studied the Red Party's documents."
"This cannot be achieved simply by studying Red Party documents." Li Cuiqun shook his head.
It can be seen from this editorial that Wang Kangnian must be very concerned about the dynamics of the Red Party, especially the Red Party headquarters, and is always learning new knowledge, keeping pace with the times, and raising awareness.
"Wang Kangnian plans to fish in the name of Qu Junjie." Cao Yu said, "Judging from the current situation, it has initially achieved results."
As he said that, Cao Yu showed an expression asking for credit, "Sir, should we take the lead..."
He originally thought that Li Cuiqun would happily agree to cut off Wang Kangnian. Unexpectedly, Li Cuiqun showed a solemn expression. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "That's inappropriate."
Li Cuiqun only said it was inappropriate, but did not say why it was inappropriate.
Cao Yu originally planned to use this matter as a stepping stone to his career, so he was naturally a little disappointed. However, Li Cuiqun was resolute and there was nothing he could do about it.
"The Red Party is just a minor problem." Li Cuiqun glanced at Cao Yu, "Since you are following me in the future, you must change your thinking. Don't be influenced by Wang Kangnian. All you can think about is catching the Red Party, catching the Red Party." .”
Li Cuiqun said earnestly, "Who will be our main enemy in the future? It is the Central Commander, Xue Yingzeng's people, the Military Commander, and Dai Chunfeng's people."
His eyes flashed, "Remember, Chongqing is the biggest enemy."
"Of course, it's not impossible to arrest the Red Party, but you have to distinguish priorities." Li Cuiqun added, "Wang Kangnian's situation is too small, so don't imitate him."
"I understand." Cao Yu nodded.
After leaving No. 67 Daxi Road, Cao Yu carefully recalled the visit, especially the last words Li Cuiqun said. After thinking about it carefully, he felt more and more reasonable:
Wang Kangnian only stared at the Red Party and bitten hard. Instead, he turned a blind eye to the rampant activities of the Military Command and the Central Command, especially the Military Command Shanghai Station and the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group, which were extremely harmful. Get a future.
"Brother Qun, how is this person?" Ye Xiaoqing came over to collect the teacups in person and asked with concern.
"He's someone who can barely do things." Li Cuiqun nodded, then shook his head, "But he's also a slippery man."
Since this time, he has been secretly following Wu Shanyue's detective team.
In Li Cuiqun's eyes, this detective brigade was one of his sources of recruitment.
Li Cuiqun even went so far as to ask Qingshui Dongsan for help and asked for the archives of Wu Shanyue's subordinates.
He was not very sure at first, but he didn't expect Qingshui Dongsan to actually get these intelligence files for him. This made Li Cuiqun very happy and he even figured out more about it.
He naturally knows this Cao Yu relatively well.
When Cao Yu spoke with emotion in front of him, he had a sullen face, but in fact he could hardly help but laugh.
Cao Yu "sarcastically" said that Wu Shanyue only lasted three whips, and Wang Kangnian only lasted less than a quarter of an hour, while Cao Yu withstood the Japanese torture for three days and nights.
However, the files show that Cao Yu should have decided to surrender soon after he was arrested. The reason why he was tortured repeatedly was entirely because Araki Harima, who interrogated him, beat him first no matter what questions he asked——
Because Araki insists that the information obtained through torture is the most authentic.
"That means it can be used, but not very useful." Ye Xiaoqing said.
Li Cuiqun nodded. This person was indeed incapable of great use. Not only was he incapable of great use, he also had to be careful.
He was from the Party Investigation Department; he infiltrated the Red Party; he was arrested by the Japanese; he decisively betrayed the Party Investigation Department and turned out Wang Kangnian; now he secretly defected to him, not only secretly betraying the detective brigade, but also inciting him to intercept Hu Wang Kangnian's plan.
Li Cuiqun couldn't believe such a person.
…
"Ah Hai." A young man carefully avoided a car, ran across the road, came to a tea stall, and hugged Ah Hai warmly.
"Calf, hahaha." Ahai was also very happy.
The two have not seen each other since he escaped from the hands of agents from the Party Affairs Investigation Department two years ago and left "Declaration".
Unexpectedly, two years later, the two would meet again as red revolutionary comrades.
"Let's go, I bought some food and wine and went home to have a drink." A Hai said.
"I also bought half a catty of salt-fried peanuts." Niu Du said. Because of this name, his friends habitually called him Niu Calf.
A bottle of Huadiao, a plate of salt-fried peanuts, a small plate of lard residue mixed with soybeans, and a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts, A Hai and Niu Du looked excited and expressed their feelings after saying goodbye.
"I never expected that you would be the new downline assigned to me by the organization." Ah Hai said happily, but under his happy tone, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
His former downline comrade died half a month ago at the hands of Wang Kangnian, the detective brigade of the puppet Shanghai Police Department.
"I didn't expect that the person on the line arranged by the organization would be you." Governor Niu was also very happy.
As he spoke, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Comrade Amu, there is something I want to report to you."
Amu is Ahai’s code name (pseudonym).
"Comrade 'Pony', please speak." A Hai said seriously.
"Xiao Ma" is the code name of Niu Du. When combined with his last name, it means "willing to bow down for the people and work as a cow and horse".
"Recently, there is a person who has secretly contributed articles to Shenbao many times." Niu Du said, and as he spoke, he took out a newspaper from his body, "There happens to be an editorial here, and it is so well written, take a look. "
"But that Mr. Qu Junjie?" Ah Hai asked with a smile.
"Did you notice it too?" Niu Du asked in surprise.
"Well, I've also paid attention to this person." Ah Hai nodded, "It just so happens that we are meeting this time, and I also want to find out about this person from you."
…
No. 19, Luojiawan, Chongqing.
"big eater!"
"Fool!"
"A freeloader!"
Dai Chunfeng's angry roar sounded.
The guards at the door of Dai Chunfeng's office subconsciously stood up straighter, for fear of encountering disaster.
"I am responsible for this matter. It is my subordinate's incompetence. Please punish me." Sheng Shuyu said with an ugly face.
"Punishment?" Dai Chunfeng glared at Sheng Shuyu, "Of course I will be punished, you are indispensable."
With that said, Dai Juzuo untied the Feng Ji button, "Who can tell me where Mei Shenping went?"
Sheng Shuyu lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
Yu Ping'an also had a solemn expression and did not speak.
Qi Wu glanced at the two of them, and then at Dai Chunfeng, who was already sitting on the seat and still looked angry. He knew it was time for him to go out and smooth things over.
"The Bureau." Qi Wu said with a serious expression, "Mei Shenping disappeared very strangely, which shows that this person had planned to leave Chongqing quietly."
As he spoke, he paused, considered his words, and continued, "Commissioner Mei had already planned it, but the brothers did not dare to follow him too closely because of his status. That's why he made a golden cicada escape from his shell."
Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly when he heard this, but his expression finally softened.
Although Qi Wu's words were meant to excuse Sheng Shuyu, they were not unreasonable.
Mei Shenping's identity is a special member of the Ministry of Interior of the Central Political Committee of the Kuomintang. This identity will indeed make the military reunification agents fearful and they will not dare to push too hard:
the most important is--
The old man ordered him to arrange for people to keep an eye on Wang Chuanhai, Chen Nanhai, Zhou Liang, Mei Shenping and others. However, he also specifically told him to respect the important officials of the government and not to force them too much.
This made it extremely difficult for Dai Chunfeng and the agents responsible for surveillance operations.
"Let's all discuss it." Dai Chunfeng said coldly, "Tell me about this member Mei who took great trouble to leave Chongqing. Where will he go? Why?"
At this moment, Yu Pingan finally spoke. "In order to keep a low profile on the previous behavior and habits of these people in the club, especially Mei Shenping's previous whereabouts, there are two points."
After a pause, he continued, "Hong Kong, or - Shanghai."
"Who is there in Shanghai?" Dai Chunfeng pondered for a moment and asked.
Qi Wu understood what he was asking about and immediately replied, "Lin Baisheng is in Hong Kong. This person has been speaking for the low-key club, advocating that only Vice President Wang presiding over the overall situation can save China."
"Guo Zhaoxiong is also in Hong Kong. This person has always supported Vice President Wang." Yu Ping'an said.
Dai Chunfeng thought silently.
Guo Zhaoxiong is a party-state veteran and former Minister of Transportation. He is a close supporter of Wang Canhai and is also a very influential person within the Kuomintang.
Even if Mei Shenping, as a special member of the Ministry of Interior of the Central Political Committee of the Kuomintang, must be treated respectfully in front of Guo Zhaoxiong.
"Guo Zhaoxiong is in Hong Kong. Mei Shenping doesn't need to go there in secret." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice, "Shanghai, he is going to Shanghai on this trip."
"Call Shanghai." Dai Chunfeng made a decisive decision, "Telegram Shanghai Station Zheng Lijun and Shanghai Special Agent Xiao Mian to ask them..."
As he spoke, Dai Chunfeng suddenly slapped the table in annoyance, "Asshole."
