The phone rang in the middle of the night.
"Hello?" Cheng Xiaofeng picked up the phone.
"Deputy Commander Cheng, Vice Captain Hu from the Investigation Unit is here.”
"Alright, let him in."
"I need it."
"Thank you, but I don't need it."
"Ha Yi!"
After putting down the phone, Cheng Xiaofeng revealed a meaningful smile. He changed into plain clothes and walked out of the bedroom. He took two bottles of sake and pushed open the door. The moonlight took the opportunity to sprinkle into the hall.
The footsteps of several people came from outside the courtyard. It was the arrival of two military policemen with visitors. The two military policemen would guard the courtyard until the visitors left. The security of the high-class residential area of the Special Higher Police was even stricter than that of the courtyard. There was a set of management regulations.
Before he could knock on the door, the door opened. Cheng Xiaofeng saw Hu Junjie carrying two boxes of pastries and smiled. He nodded at the two military policemen and handed them two bottles of sake."Thank you for your hard work!"
"Deputy Cheng, you're too polite!" The two military policemen pretended to refuse.
"Take it. You're being polite with me!" He forced the sake into the other party's hands and then made an inviting gesture to Hu Junjie, saying,""Captain Hu, please come in!"
They came to the living room and sat down. They picked up the red wine and poured a glass for Hu Junjie."Captain Hu, why are you here so late at night?”
Hu Junjie took the cup respectfully and said humbly,""Adjutant Cheng, it's been hard on the field. Today's arrest plan failed. Deputy Team Leader Wang is very apologetic and specially asked my brother to come. I hope that you can put in a good word for me in front of the Chief of the Bureau at tomorrow's meeting. This was a token of his appreciation. It was not a form of respect, not respect.”
After saying that, he opened a snack box. Inside was Yu Garden Walnut Crispy Crisp. He opened the bottom cover of the Walnut Crispy Crisp and placed five gold bars inside.
Hu Junjie looked at the other party with an awkward smile. What he saw was an expressionless face and deep eyes under the light. He picked up another snack box and said,"This is a token of my respect. Hehe, you gave me a chance to live last time and pointed out a clear path for me to serve the Imperial Army of Great Japan. Also, this time, please forgive my recklessness and lack of etiquette.”
After saying that, he opened the snack box again. There were ten gold bars at the bottom of the box, twice as many as the original hint.
Finally, Cheng Xiaofeng smiled and said,""Well said, Captain Hu is really particular.”
"Of course, of course. In the future, I will need Deputy Cheng to help me a lot.”
"Alright, let's put this matter behind us. I just want to know who the person hiding in the phone booth is.”
Hu Junjie's expression changed drastically. The corners of his eyes twitched as he charged at the other party with a cold killing intent. He was confident that with one punch, the other party would lose half of his life. However, after a few seconds, he immediately reacted and sweat rolled down his face.
"Adjutant Cheng, this brother has come with sincerity and forsakes past grudges."
Cheng Xiaofeng did not give him the chance to continue. He said coldly,"Speak, who is that person?"
"Smiling, Smiling Buddha!"
——————
Those who betrayed their superiors had no bottom line. Who was the Smiling Buddha? He was just an assassin from the Qing Gang.
Hu Junjie walked out of the Japanese-style residential area without any guilt. He rode his bicycle to Fengzeli on Henan Road, where the farmer lived. The farmer and the sickle were Little Red's parents.
As a member of the Intelligence Team One, Farmer was responsible for gathering intelligence. Sickle was in charge of sending out information from the radio station. Xiao Hong's code name was Mirror. She was the intelligence liaison officer in the concession and was responsible for delivering post-transaction intelligence. She was also an excellent radio operator. There was another member of the team who went to the intelligence market in the concession to collect valuable information. His code name was 'Passerby.' This time, Mirror was in charge of the mission.
When Hu Junjie received the restraining order, he had already vaguely guessed that it had something to do with the meeting the next day, so he informed Mirror, who was on duty, in time.‘Mirror knew that the mission might be leaked the next day, so he resolutely went. He did not fail his mission and successfully completed the mission. Through the binoculars, Hu Junjie had already seen the process of the meeting. However, the cap of the policeman's hat was too low, and everything above his nose and mouth was covered. It was still unclear who the contact sent from the headquarters was. If he knew that the person he picked up was Chen Gongshu, who was famous for assassinating traitors, he didn't know what he would think.
Henan Road was bordered by Suzhou Creek, and its prosperity was worlds apart. To the south of Suzhou Creek was the asphalt road, and to the north was the yellow sand road. At this moment, the south was brightly lit, but there were no street lamps in the north.
Under the moonlight, the shadows of the houses divided the road into black and white, as if it was the world of Yin and Yang.
It was already late at night, and the bicycle made a monotonous rustling sound as it rolled over the yellow sand road, as if it was walking on the road to hell.
Hu Junjie suddenly felt a chill down his spine and spread throughout his entire body. This was because there was a rustling sound coming from the shadows of the house.
"Who is it?" Hu Junjie stopped the car and tapped the ground with one foot. He habitually put his right hand into his arms. The moment he did so, he froze and a trace of despair climbed into his chest. Tonight, he went to the high-end residential area of the Special Higher Police. To avoid trouble, he left his gun with the Detective Department.
"Captain Hu, who else could it be?" That voice seemed to come from hell. A person walked out from the shadows, as if he was asking for his life. The rustling sound under his feet was especially ear-piercing, as if every step he took was crushing Hu Junjie's last chance of survival in this world.
"You, who are you?" It was a cold and thin face with distinct edges and corners, full of the hardships of time.
"Chen Gongshu, your contact!"
Hu Junjie's eyes widened in disbelief. His nervousness had already relaxed."So it's Station Chief Chen. I was just about to go see you.”
"Perfect, then I'm here to claim the lives of my brothers who died at Shanghai Station.”
"What is it? No, no, it's the boss."
Puchi! The sound of a sharp blade piercing into his body rang out, causing Hu Junjie's voice to stop abruptly.
Yes, he didn't go to the racecourt, but there were Japanese spies in the racecourt. It was inevitable that people would be suspicious, but he had arranged for a mirror. After the decisive Chen Gongshu contacted him, he came to kill him overnight. Why didn't he even give him a chance to explain himself?‘Mirror should have explained the situation that he tried his best to save. Could it be the boss's arrangement?
However, the aura of life was rapidly draining away, and there was no time for him to think too much.
The last thing he wanted to say in this world was: I'm not wrong! I'm wronged!
"From today onwards, the Shanghai Military Station will be re-established!”The man pulled out a sharp blade and rubbed it against the corpse. The next moment, several people walked out from the shadows and dragged the corpse into the alley.
Hu Junjie, a famous figure in Shanghai, was swallowed by the darkness!
——————
'Commander traitor Hu Junjie was assassinated by the Commander's special agent last night at Henan Road in the Japanese occupied area! Juntong rebuilt Shanghai Station and vowed to fight the Japanese until the end!'
All the newspapers in the concession published this special issue the next day. Under the eye-catching headline, there was a photo: Hu Junjie was hung on a utility pole. A sign hung on his chest, and the words were written in the blood of the deceased: Traitors, end!
The most shocking thing was that pair of eyes that died with grievances.
This had to be planned in advance by Juntong Shanghai Station. The newspapers in the concession were only waiting for that photo.
Cheng Xiaofeng placed the newspaper on his desk and did not come to his senses for a long time! There was indeed a reason why Hu Junjie had to die, and that was his betrayal.
From the beginning, Cheng Xiaofeng was full of doubts about Hu Junjie's surrender. It was too easy to crack the Juntong Shanghai station. It was as good as sending it to the Japanese's guns. This was probably planned by Dai Li. Other than him, no one else would have the guts to make such a bet. The purpose was to insert Wang Xing into the Special Higher Police.
Someone had to bear the responsibility for the destruction of the Juntong Shanghai Station, and that person was Hu Junjie. Killing Hu Junjie could silence him, comfort Wang Xing, and also serve as a warning to Wang Xing. Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys had already been used by the higher-ups again and again, and they were not tired of it.
Of course, Hu Junjie was hateful, but Cheng Xiaofeng knew very well that this person was fulfilling his mission as a spy! At the same time, he was also Wang Xing's substitute. If Wang Xing failed, he would be a spy. Now that Wang Xing had a firm foothold, should he disappear?
Other than being silenced and taking responsibility, his death had two other purposes: The first was to awaken the people and inspire their enthusiasm for resisting the Japanese. They swore that the party and the country would still be unyielding in the war of resistance. The military had won the first battle at Shanghai Station to comfort the martyrs who died in the battle at Shanghai Station. The other was that Wang Xing's status in the Special Higher Police had also increased. Matsuta Yuta's trust in him should have increased from six to eight!
Hu Junjie would die with a bad name on his back. He would not have a grave, nor would he be remembered, nor would he be mourned. He would forever bear the crime of being a traitor. Even his family would not be spared. In order to resist external humiliation, there would naturally be sacrifices. This sacrifice was not only in terms of life, but also reputation.
Hu Junjie could be said to be an outstanding spy. He successfully completed the boss's mission, deceived the Special Higher Police, deceived Wang Xing, and successfully let Wang Xing enter the Special Higher Police. He also arranged for the meeting to be completed almost under the eyes of the Japanese.
The sad thing about him was that everything he did was to make a wedding dress for others. Not only did he not get to wear the wedding dress, but he was also labeled as a slut and soaked in a pig cage.
Was this the fate of spies?
Cheng Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, he thought of a phrase-the fox grieves when the rabbit dies!
——————
Wang Xing was also reading the newspaper. When he saw the newspaper supplement, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He could not recover for a long time. A chill that came from his bones spread rapidly, and every cell in his body was frozen in an instant.
Yesterday, Hu Junjie did not know who that person was, but Wang Xing recognized Chen Gongshu. This was originally the hero behind the Juntong. He had trained hundreds of agents for the Juntong and scattered them all over the country. Almost all of them became the main force of the Juntong station and Juntong office. With the outbreak of the full-scale war between China and Japan, this behind-the-scenes hero often appeared in the Japanese occupied areas, assassinating traitors and Japanese high-ranking officials.
Wang Xing knew that Chen Gongshu's visit to Shanghai this time would definitely be a decisive killing move that would stir up a storm. He didn't expect that the first blade would actually slash at his own people. Moreover, it was so swift and so high-profile! This was a form of intimidation. It intimidated the detectives of the former military command station, the Special Higher Police who had set up a trap to capture the contact, the traitors, and even Wang Xing himself.
Although he already had the intention to kill Hu Junjie, it was only a fleeting thought. Of course, he knew that Cheng Xiaofeng had revealed that Hu Junjie was the one who betrayed him. His goal was to take revenge and create a rift between the two of them. However, for the sake of the bigger picture, he could only swallow his anger.
Logically speaking, Hu Junjie deserved to die, but he should not have died in such a way. After all, he was his comrade. Thinking about the years that the two brothers had worked hard in Shanghai, grief pressed down like a mountain, making Wang Xing feel suffocated.
Suddenly, he thought of a phrase-the fox grieves over the death of the rabbit!
————————
At the morning meeting on Monday, all the higher-ups of the Special Higher Police came to the meeting room as soon as they got to work. Everyone was informed of the failed arrest yesterday and also read the newspaper about Hu Junjie's assassination this morning. The Special Higher Police had been slapped in the face. Everyone was waiting for the director's wrath.
Matsuta Yuta had been having a hard time during this period of time. He received a series of notices from the police department criticizing him. The anti-Japanese sentiment in the Shanghai concession was soaring, and the anti-Japanese organization was not cracked down hard enough. The soldiers of the Imperium were killed, the arrest operation failed, and such a major case that was reported in the newspapers was no less influential than the killing of an officer of the Imperium. All of this showed that the director of the Shanghai Special Higher Police, Yuta Matsuta, was not capable enough.
As a high-ranking officer of the National Police Department, it was difficult to get promoted. The general star seemed to have become a distant dream. Matsuta Yuta could only think about it when there was no one around to console himself.
However, Yuta Matsuda kept reminding himself that he was a nobleman, and since the matter had already happened, any act of anger would only expose his incompetence. The more he was at this moment, the more he had to remain calm. The war had to continue, and ending the war in three months was just nonsense! It had been almost a year since the full-scale war began, but there was still no sign of the war situation. The advisors in the main headquarters must have already experienced the resilience of this nation!
Matsuta Yuta walked into the conference room accompanied by his adjutant Ueshima. Everyone in the conference room was silent out of fear. Looking at the dumbstruck Wang Xing, Matsuta Yuta said,"Everyone, I believe you already know about these two matters. This is normal. We are facing a race with a history of thousands of years. This race has been bullied and destroyed by foreign races many times in history. In fact, when the Five Kingdoms invaded China, 90% of the population was killed and the race was almost wiped out. However, this race has been able to stand up again and again. Their civilization has never been destroyed, and their spirit has also been tempered into steel. Although they had been poor and weak for nearly a hundred years, there were still many elites and ambitious people. The ones who are going up against our Shanghai Empire's highest spy agency are the elites of this nation. Only by defeating them can we gain a foothold in Shanghai and even this land. Otherwise, we will be chased back to that disastrous island.”
There was no fury as everyone had imagined. The Chief's words were calmer than usual, but they were more powerful.
"The responsibility for what happened yesterday lies with me. I interfered too much with the operations of the operation team, and I underestimated your abilities. It is only a matter of time before Juntong rebuilds the Shanghai station. We want to attack them when they have yet to gain a stable foothold, and attack the confidence of this nation. He wanted the military commander to not dare to set foot in Shanghai, and the Shanghainese to abandon their unrealistic fantasies! He was dedicated to the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere! Sooner or later, we will enter the concession. Now that the headquarters has reached an agreement with the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Works to support us in cracking down on the resistance, we don't have to be so cautious about some things. Everyone, do you have confidence?"
"Yes, I will definitely give them a hard blow!”Everyone's faces were filled with excitement as they responded in unison. Their depressed mood in the morning was swept away.
"Can I bring a gun?" Someone asked.
Matsuta Yuta was a little helpless. His expression was still calm, and his voice was still calm."At present, the regulations still do not allow it, but our agents can hide guns. There has never been a lack of weapons in the safe houses in the concession. Of course, if our agents 'behavior is excessive, they will also be symbolically locked up in the Public Security Bureau's prison and we will extradite them.”
Yuta Matsuta looked at Wang Xing and smiled."Deputy Team Leader Wang, the person who came this time is your former colleague. He should be an old commander. They're already like fire and water with you. It's either you die or I live. Don't have any more fantasies. Therefore, for your sake and for the sake of establishing a new order in Greater East Asia, you don't have to be timid anymore. The task of tracking down the murderer and defeating the military commander in Shanghai will be handed over to you, and the investigation team will also be under your name!”
Wang Xing suddenly jumped up from his seat and replied loudly,"Ha Yi! Thank you, Mr. Director. I will be loyal to the Emperor!”His body, which was no longer young, was now as tall as a soldier.
Matsuta Yuta was very satisfied. He encouraged his subordinates to walk out of the haze. He did not shout or shout, but hit the heart of their hearts. People like Wang Xing, without power, were useless!
"Deputy Team Leader Wang, you have to use the advantage of your Shanghai locals to infiltrate the concession and find their safe house. Special Team 5, failed contact, and several assassination cases, you have to solve them all at once. You have ten days to give me a satisfactory answer to prove your ability! Otherwise, you will not pass the test. You have the right to access the information related to these matters. The operation team will cooperate fully. As for your safety, you can use the resources of the Special Higher Police and the Military Police. If you encounter any obstruction, you can look for Ueshima-kun. As for Cheng Sang, he's currently focusing on the intelligence of the first battle area. Don't disturb him unless there's something special.”
"Ha Yi!"
——————
Cheng Xiaofeng didn't attend the morning meeting. He was still secretly mourning the person who planned to kill him and made him feel disgusted, pitiful, and even helpless. He was especially touched when the man gave him fifteen gold bars before he died, which completely solved the urgent need of their team's lack of funds. They could build at least five well-equipped safe houses in the Chinese and foreign settlements, which was a vital event.
Hu Junjie, an excellent colleague, have a good journey. Don't be a spy in your next life.
There was a knock on the door. It was Jiamei. The Japanese girl had lost a lot of weight these days. She looked even more tired today. It was obvious that she had stayed up all night again, but her tired face was full of excitement.
"Jiamei, don't stay up all night. Your body won't be able to take it.”
"Thank you, Adjutant Cheng. Good news. Team Leader Kumamoto and the others have safely arrived in Guide and have settled down!”
"Is that so?" Kumamon-sensei had finally made it through a dangerous journey. At least for now, he was safe. Cheng Xiaofeng let out a long sigh of relief and quickly flipped through the message.
It turned out that the six members of Kumamoto Shunji's Sakura Group had successfully infiltrated the 88th Division of the 1st Battle Area. After losing 90% of the veterans, the 88th division gave special treatment to the veterans who returned to the construction site. Not only did they get promoted, but they also gave them important tasks. Especially that communications platoon leader, who had been promoted to communications company commander. Kumamoto Shunji led Ichiro Suzuki and three secret agents to coordinate with them. They had already set up contact points in Guide City and outside the city, and they had a special pass issued by the 88th Army. There were also two experienced agents who pretended to be soldiers who were searching for the 88th Division. They shuttled between the important places in the First Battle Area and asked for information about the defense.
"That's great. How about this, Jiamei, you work hard for another hour and set up a transmitter for me in the secret room of Sakura Teleportation Room. I'm going to send and receive telegrams personally today.”
"Ha Yi!" Jiamei agreed and turned to leave.
"Remember, go back and rest immediately after installing the radio station!”
"Yes, Deputy Cheng! Thank you for your concern!" This time, Kamei answered excitedly. Her eyes were watery, and tears were almost falling.
"Hey, we'll be very busy from now on. Don't fall behind because of your health. Since there's some progress in Guide's strategy, I'll invite you to Mishima Pavilion.”
"Yes, Jiamei will remember it!" With that, she bowed deeply and walked away happily.
Cheng Xiaofeng shook his head and sighed. He looked at his watch. It was almost time. The high-level meeting should have ended. Therefore, he picked up the folder and went to the archives first. After taking the map of the state of war between China and Japan that the Army Command had just sent, he went to Matsuta Yuta's office. This was his daily routine report.
In fact, this map should have been taken from the island. This map involved the top secret of the Japanese army's movements, but Matsuta asked him to take it. Of course, he understood that this was both a form of trust and a test. He had the urge to see it every time. He had already sketched a map in his mind regarding the situation between China and Japan. He urgently needed to verify it. However, he held back every time. He also knew that on Fu Wenyun's line, the changes in this situation map would be transmitted to Li Zongren in time.
