The Japanese continued the manhunt for a whole day, which made the people of Shencheng panic, for fear of harming Chiyu. The black clouds floating in the sky were like the haze that shrouded everyone's hearts for a long time.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Minglou returned to Ming Mansion after a day's work. After entering the study, Mingcheng asked in a slightly urgent tone.
"Brother, this operation came too suddenly. There was no chance to notify the organization to arrange evacuation. I don't know how many comrades are trapped in the enemy camp this time."
Minglou stared at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window, his face suddenly brightening and darkening, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
"A-Cheng, this incident has sounded the alarm for us. Such a large-scale operation did not leak any news for a long time beforehand. The Japanese's confidentiality work is worth learning. Alas, the incident has already happened. We will discuss it in two days. Let's ask about that person's situation at Mr.'s party. I hope the loss won't be too heavy. It's not easy to organize and train a worker behind enemy lines. Everyone is precious."
Mingcheng learned from Li Jie that the special high school class still had not dispelled his doubts, otherwise he would not have been anxious. Now he is anxious and has to wait until the next meeting of the Zhuang Yunqing Club. Only there can he meet safely and without hidden dangers. Although the meeting was short, it was enough to understand the situation.
Kairis Club, Minglou has been looking forward to today's party for a long time. Duan Haiping and Zhuang Yunqing have known each other for generations, and both of them are chess enthusiasts. Kairis Club is just a chess club in the eyes of outsiders, and Minglou has a special status. , in the entire Shencheng underground party, only "Sailor" Duan Haiping knew Minglou's true identity.
During each gathering, Hai Ping would meet with Ming Lou, and the meeting place would be similar to a confessional in a church. The two would not meet each other. After they exchanged code words, the two would meet across the wall.
"030 (Codename for Shuizhui Haiping), are the losses to the organization serious this time?"
Duan Haiping said in a low tone, "Comrade Cobra, please rest assured that this Japanese manhunt has not had any impact on the organization. Everything is the same as before. The Wasp had already passed the information back half a month ago."
Hearing this, Minglou felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. At the same time, he couldn't help but become more curious about the identity of the 'Vesp'. The Japanese obviously did not notify the new government in advance of this operation. Could it be that the 'Vesp' was Japanese? Wasp had access to such top-secret information, so his identity must not be simple. Due to confidentiality regulations, Minglou could only speculate secretly.
'Perhaps Wasp is someone I know? '
Suddenly the name 'Xiao Tu' flashed across Minglou's mind, could it be him? No, it's not necessarily him. According to '030', the organization received the information half a month ago. At that time, the Japanese had just started preparations. 'Xiao Tu' is a Chinese after all. According to Japanese habits, this At the beginning of the operation, only the top management should know about it. Minglou thought about it and rejected one guess after another, and finally stopped thinking about it. No matter who the Wasp was, as long as the Wasp was one of his own, why should he know who the Wasp was.
In the special high school class, Shinto Ichiro hesitated for a long time and gritted his teeth before speaking.
"Colonel, there is a very strange situation."
"Um?"
Uemura Ippei let out a light sigh, and his eyes signaled Shinto Ichiro to continue speaking. Shinto Ippei took a step forward and whispered in Uemura Ippei's ear.
"Colonel, we caught a military unification agent yesterday. According to him, someone told them to keep silent as early as half a month ago. This person belongs to the Second Military Unification Division. Most of the team members in their unit have moved to the southern Jiangsu area, leaving them behind. The people who came down were all team members with reliable identities. It was a coincidence that he was caught this time. There was an agent from No. 76 in the search team at that time. This person's fake social relationship happened to be discovered by the agent from No. 76. , otherwise we wouldn’t even be able to catch this person.”
Uemura Ippei frowned. The enemy got the news just after the plan was launched half a month ago. This made him unexpected. At that time, everyone who could learn about the plan was all important officials of the empire. Ichihei Uemura didn't believe it if one of them leaked the secret, but that was the fact, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
Names kept flashing through my mind. Everyone was a big shot in Shanghai. If anyone stamped their feet, Shencheng would tremble. Suddenly, Kawanoyasu's name flashed through his mind.
'No, absolutely impossible! '
Uemura Ippei subconsciously rejected this idea in an instant. If even Kawanoyasu is not trustworthy, then who else in the special high school class can be trusted!
'Kawano Yasu! Kawano Yasu! No, it can't be him. He is a student who I personally taught and has followed me for many years. If he was a spy, haha, maybe I would have died by his gun. No, it is absolutely impossible, no, no. Will do! '
Uemura Ippei tried hard to calm down his mood, not daring to think about this possibility, but how could a person completely control his thoughts? Scenes of the past kept reappearing in Uemura Ippei's mind, from the first acquaintance, accepting disciples, entering China, and becoming Right-hand man, and the abnormality after arriving in Shencheng, a cold sweat broke out on Uemura Yihei's back. The more he forced himself not to think about that, the more he couldn't help but think about it.
Once some thoughts are born, they will take root in the mind inadvertently. When the time is right, they will sprout. As for what kind of flowers will bloom, we don’t know.
At this moment, Ippei Uemura repeatedly recalled Kawanoyasu's performance during this period. Deep in his heart, Ippei Uemura did not believe that Kawanoyasu would betray him. All of Kawanoyasu's recent actions were in line with his past performance, without any flaws.
Sometimes the absence of flaws is often the biggest anomaly. Ippei Uemura immediately denied this terrible speculation.
In the end, Ippei Uemura was still willing to believe in the master-disciple relationship between the two for more than 20 years, and temporarily buried his doubts about Kawano Yasu deep in his heart.
The failure of this operation was a huge blow to Uemura Ippei. Uemura Ippei now has no time to investigate the cause of the intelligence leak. The top priority is how to end this difficult period and make a smooth transition.
Ippei Uemura has been engaged in espionage work for more than 40 years, and has never been so embarrassed in his career. Shio Muto will never let go of the opportunity to add insult to injury. Not only him, but other political opponents will not miss the opportunity.
'well! '
Ippei Uemura rubbed his swollen head. The current situation couldn't help but give the spy chief a headache.
'Let's eliminate the negative impact. As for the source of the intelligence leak, it's not easy to find out. Let's wait for now. '
"Colonel?"
Shindo Ichiro called out softly, Uemura Ippei came back to his senses after hearing the words and waved his hand.
"I understand the situation, you go down first."
