"Tell me about it?" Cheng Qianfan picked up a magazine on his seat, flipped through it, and asked casually.
This is the magazine that Ying Huaizhen left in the car. It talks about the efficacy and application of cosmetics.
From lipstick, to the perfume you spray on your hair and body, to the colors you paint on your nails, there are no less than a dozen so-called cosmetic fragrances.
"Brother Fan, last night on the 76th, martial law was suddenly announced. No one was allowed in or out. It seemed like there was some big move." Li Hao said, "However, the martial law was canceled later."
On the Red Party side, Cheng Qianfan planned to arrange for Shu Li Zhao to infiltrate No. 76. On the military command side, Cheng Qianfan arranged for Haozi to have more contacts with the agents of No. 76.
The purpose was not to pry out any confidential information. Cheng Qianfan told Haozi one sentence: make friends.
Become friends with some people on No. 76, and information will naturally come to you.
The information obtained in this way is not a secret at all. It can be found out with a little effort. This seems to be of little use.
However, in the eyes of an intelligence expert like Cheng Qianfan, there is no such thing as useless intelligence. What is needed is the eyes and sense of smell to discover its value.
Or to put it further, Cheng Qianfan arranged for Haozi to contact those people and collect gossip. What he wanted was the gossip immediately, and what he wanted was such a time difference:
Some information is not valuable because valuable time has passed, while some information seems ordinary, but because it is obtained at the first time, it can yield unexpected gains.
Just like now——
According to Haozi, he made an appointment with a few friends for supper, including an agent named Zhang Jiansheng from No. 76.
This person did not arrive for a long time. Later, he came late and explained that there was a temporary martial law on the 76th. Unless the martial law was lifted, no one would be able to attend the banquet.
Haozi was personally taught by Cheng Qianfan. Now he can barely be called an excellent agent. It was unusual to catch the news immediately.
"Yes, great progress." Cheng Qianfan praised Haozi, "The sense of smell is also very keen." There was a temporary martial law on the 76th, and then the martial law was canceled. This seemed like nothing, as if nothing happened.
This is a small thing. If no one mentions it in a few days, it is almost impossible for Cheng Qianfan to notice it.
However, now that Cheng Qianfan had grasped the news immediately, his professional sensitivity and sense of smell prevented him from neglecting it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there must be something fishy in it.
"Tell me what you think?" Cheng Qianfan put the magazine away and put it in his briefcase. This magazine should not be left in the car. If Ruolan finds it, he will be jealous again.
"It is normal for a unit like No. 76 to take action at any time, but it is relatively rare for all personnel to be allowed in and out," Li Hao said.
He glanced at the rearview mirror and continued under Brother Fan's approving gaze, "Generally, the order of no entry and no exit is issued before a particularly large operation." "That's a good analysis." Cheng Qianfan said slightly. Nodding, "What you're not sure about is why martial law was canceled on the 76th?"
"Yes, Brother Fan." Li Hao nodded, "I'm not sure whether No. 76 originally planned a big operation, but later discovered that the intelligence was wrong, so the operation was canceled."
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and nodded, "Your guess is also possible."
As he spoke, he held the cigarette between his fingers, and his expression became serious and serious, "I will now tell you how I view this news."
"Yes, Brother Fan." Li Hao knew that Brother Fan was teaching him a lesson.
"In my opinion, there is no need to worry about whether No. 76 canceled a big operation because of incorrect intelligence, or whether they originally planned a big operation, but due to some reasons, or even a new conspiracy, they canceled it. Give up this operation for now." Cheng Qianfan said.
He flicked the ashes into the ashtray, "The most valuable information I can see is——"
He said in a deep voice, "What kind of information, or what kind of important target is it, actually puts all No. 76 under martial law, and no one is allowed in or out!"
Yes, that was the key message he saw in this seemingly innocuous message!
If No. 76 locked the target, but temporarily gave up the operation due to some other reasons or a larger conspiracy, then it would be consistent with the fact that he saw that the enemy's target was extremely important.
Even if No. 76 had no choice but to give up this big operation due to intelligence errors, this in itself shows that No. 76 has his sights on a certain big fish!
Is this an intelligence error?
But what about next time?
Being able to order No. 76 to issue a "no entry, no exit" martial law order before the operation, this in itself shows that they are at least very close to this goal!
So, here comes the problem.
The goal this time on the 76th, or to put it further——
Who is this big fish that they have gotten so close to?
…
Zhongtong?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, it was unlikely.
However, it is not entirely impossible. The Suhu District of the Central Government was almost wiped out as a result of Su Chende's surrender and treason. However, Xu Zhaolin, the head of the Suhu District, is still 'on the run'. This is a big fish.
However, even if Xu Zhaolin's traces are discovered, just arrest Xu Zhaolin and directly send a capable force. There is no need to mobilize the entire No. 76 army, right? Red Party?
Cheng Qianfan frowned. To be able to make No. 76 so aggressive, this must be at least the target of the middle and high-level officials of the Municipal Party Committee, or could it be said that an important unit is being targeted by the enemy? On the military side?
Shanghai special situation team?
Cheng Qianfan became alert. Although he did not think that the people in Dingmu Tun and Li Cuiqun had caught the tail of the special situation team, it was better to be careful and never underestimate your opponents and enemies!
"Haozi, have you guys been honest recently?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
Under his strong hand, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group is stronger than those in Shanghai District in terms of combat capability and military discipline.
However, to be honest, the organizational discipline of this group of people is far from comparable to that of comrades within the party.
Especially for grassroots and peripheral members, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no desertion.
This is also the most fundamental reason why Xiao Mian has always kept a distance from the grassroots members of the Shanghai special situation team.
"There should be nothing wrong." Li Hao understood what Brother Fan meant and thought for a while before saying. "Check yourself." Cheng Qianfan said with a solemn expression, "See if there are any brothers who cannot be contacted, or brothers whose whereabouts have not been proven by anyone else for more than half a day." "Understood." Li Hao nodded.
Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and added, "Tell Taozi that if you find any problems, you can take them down. If there is resistance, shoot them without mercy!"
"yes!"
…
Cheng Qianfan put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray.
Although he was very vigilant, he immediately arranged for an internal self-examination of the Shanghai special situation team.
However, Cheng Qianfan is still relatively confident in the special situation team.
Judging from the martial law and movements on the 76th, their target has a very good background. If the special situation group is targeted, it will at least be important figures in the special situation group such as Hao Zai, Little Taoist, and Taozi.
If the enemy really touched the sides of Taozi, Haozi and others, and Cheng Qianfan didn't know it, then he would really deserve to die! Therefore, Cheng Qianfan judged that the possibility of problems on the special situation team's side was still relatively small.
So, is it over in Shanghai area?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head subconsciously.
Although after Ruan Zhiyuan's rebellion, Zheng Weilong's arrest, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Unit suffered major damage, and the subsequent turmoil caused by Lu Fei's rebellion, Wang Tiemu and Zheng Lijun fought for power again, causing chaos within the Shanghai Station.
However, now that through Dai Chunfeng's strong management, Zheng Lijun's position as district chief of Shanghai District has been confirmed and consolidated. Qi Wu's sixth brother Li Wanmao has been transferred to Shanghai as the inspector general, and Dai Chunfeng like Che Luwang will enrich the Shanghai District in the future. , and special discipline reshaping (cleansing) has been carried out within the Shanghai District. It can be said that the current Shanghai District has not only got rid of the turmoil, but also has high morale and strong troops.
The possibility of problems in Shanghai is also low.
Cheng Qianfan frowned. Who is No. 76's target this time?
He tends to think that the enemy is coming for the Red Party.
At this time, Cheng Qianfan thought of the charterer who had evacuated Shanghai before, and his heart skipped a beat:
Something happened to Comrade Fang Jinghua during the evacuation?
Or even—rebellion?
Cheng Qianfan was startled by his guess, then he shook his head and immediately rejected this possibility.
First of all, he believed in Comrade Fang Jinghua’s party spirit and his infinite loyalty to the party and the people.
I believe in Fang Jinghua out of recognition and trust in my comrade.
However, in the cruel struggle experience and situation, reason must always take precedence over emotion.
There needs to be more clear and objective analysis, judgment, and examples.
The most important reason why Cheng Qianfan judged that Fang Jinghua had no problem was——
If something goes wrong with Comrade Bao, then he, Lao Huang, and Lu Dazhang would already be together in the torture room.
'Chenzhou, the real 'fish intestines', and the Teko Feiyu whose code name has not even been revealed, any one of these three red party Teko aces is an 'incredible' big fish, let alone three. He didn't think the enemy would resist the temptation to attack him. Therefore, the possibility of something happening to Comrade Fang Jinghua was ruled out.
If Comrade Fang Jinghua did not have an accident during the evacuation, then was it an important leader of the Shanghai local party organization of the Red Party or an important unit that was targeted by the enemy?
Haozi glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Brother Fan still frowning in thought. He asked, "Brother Fan? Where are you going? Patrol room?"
"Go to the patrol room." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice. As he said that, his heart moved, "When you get to the patrol room, inform the patrols."
As he said that, he looked at the time on his watch and said, "We have a meeting at nine-three!"
"Understood." Li Hao nodded.
Since he didn't know where No. 76's claws would extend, he would remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
