Although Bai Yulan's worries are nothing to Zhou Sen, there is no way he will deteriorate. That would be suicide.
But Bai Yulan's reminder gave him a hint of vigilance.
Akiyama Nosuke entrusted him with the management of the "Iron Blood Society" of the military. This was so unexpected. At first, he thought it was Akiyama Nosuke who thought he was too idle and worked all day to fish and wanted to find something to do for himself. Do it, or in other words, give yourself a chance to express yourself.
However, now it seems that many things are not as simple as they seem. There is even a deep meaning behind it.
Bai Yulan is the leader of the military commander's "skate team" lurking in Bingcheng. The Japanese gave him a spy from the military commander to investigate.
Is there really no connection at all?
Although Bai Yulan hid her identity well, there were still people who knew her identity, especially the old people who followed Lao Ma.
Bai Yulan is working with Lao Ma. Do those subordinates of Lao Ma know?
Lao Ma is dead, and Bai Yulan has always suspected that he was murdered by the Japanese, but there is no evidence or ferocious beast, and no clues have been found so far.
Except for a few objects of suspicion, they are just suspicions.
Also, the Japanese were probably aware of Lao Ma's identity, so they murdered Lao Ma. But after killing Lao Ma, didn't they suspect Bai Yulan?
Is this a question mark?
Is it because Bai Yulan gave up on investigating the cause of Lao Ma's death and secretly scaled back her "anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese" activities and went underground in an all-round way that made the Japanese put away their suspicions?
It's not impossible.
If Akiyama Nosuke asked him to investigate the "Iron Blood Society" of the military because of Bai Yulan, then he should be wary.
Akiyama Nosuke is famous for his cunning.
And last night so many high-ranking Japanese military officials came over to drink the two children's full-moon wine, which seemed to give him enough face.
In fact, he didn't want these people to come, he just couldn't refuse.
"Yu Lan, you must tell me seriously, do the senior military commanders and Jiang Xiao from Bingcheng Station know your true identity?" Zhou Sen asked solemnly.
"My identity has indeed been prepared by the senior military officials, but I can't say whether Jiang Xiao knows about it." Bai Yulan said with a slight frown.
"Where are Lao Ma's men? They all know that you were once Lao Ma's legacy. After Lao Ma left, these people will take orders from you. They will naturally know that you are the leader of the 'skate team'." Zhou Sen asked. road.
"Before Lao Ma died of illness, he had already made arrangements. I served as his deputy as Tian Qi at that time, and announced to the public that I was sent by the young marshal's camp." Bai Yulan made her debut, "Because Lao Ma was then He already knew that he was suffering from a chronic poison, and sought medical advice, but found that there was no solution at all, so he wanted to entrust the organization under his hands to me. He knew that I, a woman, was too young and could not suppress the people under my command. So, I set up a plan with Li Tiancai from the Marshal’s Camp Intelligence Office to let me use my identity as the Camp Intelligence Office to take over Lao Ma’s men.”
"Even if you change your identity, you still have to meet them?" Zhou Sen had heard of Li Tiancai. He was a powerful intelligence officer around the young marshal and a leader in the intelligence community.
"It's not difficult. I can find someone who is similar in size to me and meet them for me. Then I will control them secretly for a period of time. After I get familiar with this person's voice and appearance, I will disguise myself as him. Since then, I have become Tian Qi." Bai Yulan explained.
"Didn't they have any doubts?"
"I don't know about this. Even if you have suspicions, you won't tell me. I rarely meet with them directly. I command them remotely through other means. I no longer command them directly. I am different from Lao Ma. , Lao Ma likes to drink with his subordinates, and there are no secrets between them. His character and way of doing things cannot be changed. The situation has changed. The Japanese have occupied Ice City. I have changed the way I do things and communicate. They gradually adapted to it, after all, doing so also ensured their own safety."
"There's no such thing as..."
"Yes, after Lao Ma died, a few people were dissatisfied and wanted to jump up and go it alone, but I drove them away." Bai Yulan said.
"Just evicted?"
"There's nothing I can do about it. If I kill Lao Ma's men, the morale of the army will be unstable. But I can't tolerate them staying in Ice City, so let's get together and part ways."
"Do you still have those for these people?"
"Why are you suddenly curious and asking about this?" Bai Yulan frowned slightly. She was worried that Zhou Sen would be tempted, but she didn't expect that he would be interested in her past.
"I remember a few, but there are also some that I don't remember. This happened several years ago." Bai Yulan said.
"I need their list."
"What's wrong, are there problems with these people, or did you find out something?" Bai Yulan asked nervously.
"I always feel that Akiyama Nosuke's case of asking me to investigate the Iron Blood Society is not innocent, but I can't tell what the problem is. Is there some kind of relationship between your relationship with me, and Lao Ma's relationship with you? Related." Zhou Sen said.
"You mean, you came for me?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe the Japanese asked me to check the military commanders because they suspected you, to see what I could find out, or maybe they asked me to dig you out." Zhou Sen said.
"What did you find out?"
"No, so far, all the clues about the 'Iron Blood Society' have been interrupted, especially when I found out that someone secretly passed the news to the Correctional Institution. Just when I found the person who passed the news, this person's family of three members Disappeared." Zhou Sen said, "This means that the Military Command Bingcheng Station knew that I restarted the investigation of the 'Iron Blood Society' and took action to cut off the clues. And Jiang Xiao knows your identity, so he naturally knows that you are with me. relationship, and what will he do?”
"He will ask me to stop you from continuing to investigate..."
"That may not be the case now. Once the news about the full moon party last night spreads, do you think Jiang Xiao will still believe you?" Zhou Sen asked in return.
When Bai Yulan heard this, her expression suddenly changed.
So many Puppet Manchukuo policemen and important personnel from the Japanese secret service came to support them. In the eyes of outsiders, it was not just that she and Zhou Sen, the couple, turned to the Japanese invaders and the Puppet Manchukuo authorities, becoming what everyone called "traitors" "?
"I'll explain..." Bai Yulan was confused.
"Now go and explain, it's not that there are three hundred taels of silver here. Besides, if Jiang Xiao keeps refusing to deal with you, he will definitely report last night's incident to Chongqing with added insults." Zhou Sen said.
"What now?"
"Do Jiang Xiao and others have a radio station to contact you directly in Chongqing?" Zhou Sen asked.
"They have a secret radio station that will not be activated until a critical moment, but I don't know the specific communication mechanism."
"The most important thing now is whether we can report last night's situation to Chongqing before the other party. There is a completely different difference between explaining first and explaining later." Zhou Sen said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
"Also, Chongqing's call back is very critical." Zhou Sen reminded.
"I understand." Bai Yulan nodded solemnly.
…
Advertising Department of Daluo Company, Nangang District.
"Lao Ma, have you read today's newspaper? Table 80, Bingcheng military police Xiante are all present. We haven't seen this card in Bingcheng for many years." Manager Yao of the product department knocked on the door and walked in. The manager of the advertising department Mayongda's office.
Slapping a freshly minted newspaper on Mayonda's desk.
Ma Rongda just took off his coat. He has a good relationship with Lao Yao, so he can enter and exit his office at will.
"Isn't it just a full moon banquet? It's just a bigger pomp. It's not a big deal. It's rare to see it." Ma Rongda chuckled, walked over, greeted Lao Yao, and then picked up the newspaper and read it. As the manager of the advertising department, every day Reading newspapers is a compulsory course. The advertising department has the most contact with newspapers. The information in newspapers can be regarded as a kind of advertisement to a certain extent. It should be spread widely.
】
Slowly, Ma Rongda put away his smile. Others were watching the fun, but he saw the hidden content in the report.
As the chief of the communications section of the Military Tong Bingcheng Station, he naturally has a very keen sense of touch, and he sought the position of advertising department manager to facilitate his access to more information.
"Lao Yao, the sales of our products have not been very good recently. Should we consider investing more in advertising in newspapers?"
"I have no problem adding more advertisements. Can the boss agree?" Manager Yao opened his mouth and asked in surprise.
It is rare for Ma Rongda to take the initiative to increase the advertising budget. He is usually very picky. There is no reason to report the advertising budget to him. He will cut it in half first, and how much will be left in the end. Hard to say.
"I'll go talk to the boss," Ma Rongda said.
"That's great, I'll prepare a budget for you right away." Manager Yao couldn't sit still. As soon as the advertisement went up, sales increased. For him, there were only advantages and no disadvantages. How could he not be active?
"Well, then go ahead and I'll wait for the budget you submit." Ma Rongda nodded. He didn't care about Lao Yao's budget at all, but the information behind the newspaper reports. He had to go out immediately, but Manager Yao is here, so he always has to find an excuse, "I'm going to talk to the boss about this now."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away..." Manager Yao nodded repeatedly.
"Hey, it's me. Are you free? Come out for a drink?" Ma Rongda saw Manager Yao leaving, picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
"Okay, I understand, see you in a quarter of an hour." After listening to the voice coming from the receiver, Ma Rongda nodded and hung up the phone.
A cafe on the corner.
Ma Rongda opened the door and walked in. He looked around and saw a man wearing a light yellow windbreaker sitting behind a pillar.
After careful identification, he walked over, faced the other party, took off his hat, and placed it on the other side of the table.
Coffee has been ordered.
Obviously the person coming was much closer than him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get here within a quarter of an hour, and he would have ordered coffee and waited for him.
"Old Cat, have you read today's newspaper?"
"Well, I saw it. I was surprised, but it was also expected." The man in the trench coat lowered his head and took a sip of coffee and nodded.
"Old Cat, this is an opportunity." Mayongda said excitedly.
"What do you want to say? You don't know the rules of the military, right?" The man in the trench coat put down his coffee and said sternly.
"You and I are both people who have seen the secret files of the military commander. That woman was not of the same mind as us in the first place. Now her man is even more favored by the Japanese. She even gave birth to a pair of twins for that man. It can be said that she He is already a traitor to the military!" Mayongda said impatiently.
"Don't forget how we got a foothold in Bingcheng. Without her, we would have been captured by the Japanese and thrown into the Songhua River to feed the bastards."
"That was just a small favor to us personally, but now she is betraying the military commander and the party and the country. Can it be the same?"
"Just for the entire Bingcheng military and police officers to attend the full moon banquet of her two children?"
"Isn't this enough?"
"You know who she is and what the identity of the person she is currently married to is. Although the number of guests attending this full moon banquet exceeds the standard, it is not unacceptable."
"But she really took refuge with the Japanese..."
"If she really defected to the Japanese, could you and I still be able to drink coffee in peace here?"
"Old Mao, this matter must be reported to Boss Dai." Ma Rongda insisted, "And I suggest cutting off contact as soon as possible to ensure safety."
"It's okay to report it, but if we cut off contact, won't it make her think that we are suspicious of her, think that she has betrayed the military commander, betrayed the party and the country, and pushed her to the Japanese side?" The man in windbreaker frowned slightly and looked at Ma Rongda. The suggestion is not accepted.
"Old Mao, this woman is ruthless. She broke up with the Ma family just to find a young man. She married Lao Ma in the first place just to get his protection. When Lao Ma died, she usurped the throne. Seeing that Ma After her family was ruined, she couldn't wait to find another family. Do you still believe her?" Mayongda said viciously.
"Old Ma, I'm talking too much. Now that all this has not been confirmed, it's too early for you to draw conclusions."
"Old Mao, I know she has helped you, but you and I must put the interests of the party and the country first. Even if she does not betray, for the safety of our Bingcheng Station, we must cut off contact as soon as possible." Ma Rongda said.
The man in a trench coat codenamed "Old Cat" seems to have been persuaded to lurk in the heart of the enemy, and his own safety is his top priority in everything.
Without safety, how can we complete our mission?
"You report the matter to Chongqing first. Anyway, the contact between me and there will be temporarily suspended until boss Dai's order." "Old Cat" said.
"Okay, I'll arrange to send the report now."
"Now, if we send the message during the day, wouldn't it cause too much interference? Our radio station is not that powerful, and it is easy to lose the signal. Should we wait until night to send it again?" "Old Cat" said with a frown.
"Okay, let's wait until tonight." Ma Rongda thought about it and followed "Old Cat's" advice.
