My Spy Years

Chapter 1238: A plan within a plan

"Sir, can I take a look at the book in your hand?" Lei Zhiming took off his hat and held it in his hand, pointing to the book in Cao Yu's hand, and asked politely.

 “This?” Cao Yu looked surprised.

"It's like this. I've been looking for this "Traveling Notes" for a long time." Lei Zhiming explained quickly.

"That's it." Cao Yu nodded and handed the book in his hand to Lei Zhiming.

 Lei Zhiming took the book and thanked him profusely.

 The book and its contents became props for the two of them to continue their conversation.

“What happened?” Lei Zhiming pointed to a page in the book and said with a smile on his face with a high level of conversational interest.

"A key criminal was captured on the 76th." Cao Yu pointed at the book and talked eloquently, "I speculate that this person should be an important member of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team of the military command."

"Xiao Mian's people?" Lei Zhiming frowned slightly and asked, "Are you sure?"

"It's almost the same." Cao Yu said, "Su Chende did a trick under my nose, and I didn't notice it at all."

He saw Quan Lin in the compound of the Secret Service Headquarters today. This was the first time he saw Quan Lin 'alive' because the last time he saw this person, he was lying on the body of a member of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team who was shot dead. In the pile was a corpse.

 In other words, Cao Yu also witnessed the photographer No. 76 taking pictures of this person's body.

Although he only met the body once, Cao Yu had a very strong memory. When he saw Quan Lin again, he recognized it immediately.

Obviously, this person was only seriously injured at the time, but Su Chende released the news that he was dead, and even concealed the matter from No. 76 internally, and Cao Yu, who was Su Chende's close subordinate, was also kept in the dark. Drum.

Combined with the fact that he learned that Su Chende personally led the team to arrest a person, Cao Yu quickly made a judgment that this mysterious person who was arrested was probably related to this "resurrected" Shanghai special situation team operator. Inseparable connections.

 This also means that the arrested person should be a member of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group, and is most likely an important member of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group.

"Su Chende interrogated him personally." Cao Yu said, "As far as I know, this is quite a man, and he has not spoken yet."

"The situation you mentioned is very important." Lei Zhiming nodded, "The organization will find a way to warn the other side."

"Be sure to ensure safety." Cao Yu reminded, "Be careful of the other side repaying kindness with vengeance and hurting me."

As "Wang Kangnian's former favorite general and an agent personally selected by Qin Detai to infiltrate the Red Party," Cao Yu is well aware of Chongqing's hatred and fear of the Red Party. If possible, Chongqing would definitely not mind using the hands of the Japanese to eliminate and weaken it. Red party.

 So, even if you want to warn Chongqing, you must do safety work first.

“Of course.” Lei Zhiming nodded solemnly. He was an old Bolshevik who had experienced the White Terror, and he was wary of the Kuomintang reactionaries engraved in his soul.

 …

 A few minutes later, Cao Yu bought a book and strolled out of the bookstore.

He came to a noodle shop near Jisi Feier Road and ordered a bowl of braised pork noodles. He was eating and sweating profusely when he entered the noodle shop alone. When he passed by, he seemed to fall down. There was a hand on the table.

 After this person left, Cao Yu unfolded the note he just got and looked at it, his expression changed.

Continued to eat noodles calmly, burped, and strolled out of the noodle shop. Cao Yu walked around two streets and came to the entrance of an alley, where he got into a car that he had been waiting for for a long time.

 As soon as he got in the car, the car started.

 “Captain Araki.” Cao Yu said respectfully.

 “Cao Sang, don’t be restrained.” Araki Harima said with a smile.

"yes."

"Yesterday, the secret service headquarters arrested a person." Araki Harima said, "Su Chende personally led the team to arrest him."

"That's what happened." Cao Yu nodded and said.

 “Do you know the identity of this person?” Araki Harima asked again.

"My subordinates have never seen this person. He was arrested by Director Su, and I heard that he also interrogated him personally." Cao Yu said, "My subordinates are not aware of this matter."

As he said that, Cao Yu looked surprised, "Director Su and the others didn't report this matter to Taijun?"

His surprise was not pretended. Cao Yu really didn't expect that the secret service headquarters did not report the matter to the Japanese.

Araki Harima did not answer Cao Yu. He said with a serious expression, "This person is probably an important member of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team of the Military Command. The Special High School Division has officially requested the Secret Service Headquarters to extradite this person..."

"Although my subordinates have not come into contact with this person, judging from the importance Director Su attaches to this person." Cao Yu said thoughtfully, "Taijun, I don't think Director Su will necessarily be willing to hand over this prisoner."

 “They will make friends.” Araki Harima snorted coldly and said.

Whether it is Li Cuiqun or Su Chende, they dare not not hand over the person. However, the problem is that although the secret service headquarters will eventually hand over the person, they may deliberately delay the time and rush to arrest the person. Before the handover, try to pry open this person's mouth, and then you can complete the arrest of Xiao Mian and the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team before the special high school class.

"I'll give you a task." Araki Harima said, "Before the prisoner is officially transferred to the Special High School Division, you have to find a way to get close to the prisoner. It is best to be able to enter the interrogation room, understand the progress of the interrogation, and report immediately as soon as there is any situation. "

“Director Su is very vigilant, and Deputy Director Li has repeatedly emphasized the internal purity work.” Cao Yu said with a grimace, “Taijun, I’m worried that it will cause misunderstanding.”

"I ordered you to do what you did. What are you afraid of?" Araki Harima said coldly, "If necessary, I will approve your return to the detective team and even arrange for you to enter the special high school course."

He looked at Cao Yu and said, "Don't worry, if Li Cuiqun and Su Chende want to go against you, I and the Special High School will be behind you."

"Yes." Cao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said.

 …

 Father King Road.

 Zhou Ru’s residence.

 ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ came to enjoy the delicious food at Little Chef’s place.

Everyone in the patrol room has long been used to this. Everyone knows that Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng is very picky and can't get used to the simple meals in the canteen of the patrol room. The little cook in Cheng's house often makes delicious food and brings it to him. Or you can go directly to Father Jin Road to eat Xiaozao.

"What we know now is that when we rescued Sheng Shuyu last time, one of us fell into the hands of No. 76." Cheng Qianfan said.

 “How is that possible?” Hao Zai asked in surprise.

Qiao Chuntao was also surprised. Faced with the roundup of agents from the Secret Service Headquarters, the Operations Group 2 finally managed to break out of the encirclement and could not bother to inspect the battlefield. However, later, the team leader ordered special attention to this aspect, and the enemy in order to deter the anti-Japanese forces , and then the bodies of many people, including deputy team leader Liu Yuchu and team member Quan Lin, were published in newspapers. Based on the photos of the corpses in the newspapers, everyone judged that no one was captured and that all the brothers died heroically.

 Now, I suddenly heard the team leader say that someone had fallen into the hands of No. 76.

“Team leader, do you suspect that the enemy used the photos in the newspaper to hide the truth?” Qiao Chuntao asked.

"This is the most reasonable explanation." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "And, looking at it now, what happened to the 'little Taoist priest' is also directly related to this incident."

 “Traitor!” Hao Zai said through gritted teeth.

Now the situation is obvious. A brother fell into the hands of No. 76. This man became a traitor and betrayed their group leader, the young Taoist priest.

"I have encouraged the Special High School to intervene in this matter." Cheng Qianfan picked up a chopstick of braised pork and said while eating, "Araki Harima will send someone to send a message to the secret service headquarters, pointing out that 'little Taoist priests' are the target of the Special High School, and request Secret Service headquarters turned the person over to them.”

"Team leader, once the 'Little Taoist Priest' is handed over to the Special High School Course, it will be more difficult for us to save people." Hao Zai said with a frown. As he spoke, his heart moved and he looked at Cheng Qianfan.

 At the same time, Qiao Chuntao also asked Hao Zai about his guess.

“The team leader is thinking that when the ‘Little Taoist Priest’ is handed over to the Extra High School Course on the 76th, we will intercept him and save him?” Qiao Chuntao asked.

Taozi thought about this plan carefully, and he had to admit that although the probability of success of this rescue plan was very low, it was indeed the only promising rescue plan under the current circumstances:

 It is impossible for them, nor do they have the ability, to attack No. 76 to save people.

 So, we must find a way, or the only way is to try to order No. 76 to transport the people out, and then rescue them on the way.

 The team leader encouraged the Special Higher Education Department to grab credit and forcefully take people from No. 76 for this purpose.

"This is one of the plans." Cheng Qianfan said, "It is also the last step when forced to do so."

 It is theoretically possible to save people when the "Little Taoist" is handed over to the Super High School on the 76th, but in practical terms, the possibility of success is very low.

 Because this kind of transshipment will inevitably be heavily guarded.

He even couldn't rule out that the enemy would use the little Taoist priest as bait to attract the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team to rescue people.

Of course, despite all the difficulties, if you have no choice but to give it a try.

Qiao Chuntao understood the underlying meaning of the team leader's words. He couldn't help but ask, "What does the team leader mean, is there any other plan to save people?"

He was surprised and curious because Qiao Chuntao thought about it carefully. The team leader thought of using the extra-high-level courses to grab credit and people, so as to create opportunities to save people. This was a very rare and valuable plan. He I haven't thought of any other feasible solutions for the time being.

"Pry open the mouth of the 'little Taoist priest' and follow the clues further, trying to catch all Xiao Mian and the Shanghai special situation team." Cheng Qianfan raised a touch of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth and said, "Such a great contribution, for Li Cuiqun and Su Chen For Germany and the Secret Service Headquarters, it is an irresistible temptation."

He looked at Hao Zai and Qiao Chuntao and said, "So, do you think Li Cuiqun and Su Chende will obediently hand over people to the extra-high school?"

"Won't."

“No. 76 dares not to make friends with others, but he also cannot make friends with others obediently.”

Taozi and Haozi both answered immediately.

“Yes, even though No. 76 did not dare to disobey the Japanese orders in the end, they will eventually surrender.” Cheng Qianfan said, “But before that, they will find ways to delay time.”

"They will try to use torture to pry open the mouths of the 'little Taoist priests' before handing them over to the Special High School." Qiao Chuntao said, "Then they will try to catch us all before the Japanese do."

“Yes.” Cheng Qianfan nodded and looked at the three of them, “Do you know what this means?”

Zhou Ru, who had been listening quietly, spoke up, "They will interrogate more eagerly than normal and intensify the torture of the 'little Taoist priest'."

“No. 76’s torture was very cruel and most people couldn’t bear it,” Hao Zai said. “If they tortured the ‘little Taoist’ desperately, he probably wouldn’t be able to bear it.”

"Team leader." Qiao Chuntao looked at Cheng Qianfan, with a sigh in his calm eyes, "This is survival in the face of death."

Cheng Qianfan was not surprised that Qiao Chuntao could quickly respond to this rescue plan. Taozi was his most admired and optimistic subordinate.

As Taozi said, it is indeed a life-saving plan to survive in death.

This is deliberately forcing the secret service headquarters to use extra-high-level courses. Then, in order to "protect the fruits of victory," No. 76 will torture the "little Taoist priest" desperately and even more eagerly.

 In this case, there are three possibilities.

 First, the ‘little Taoist priest’ could not withstand the severe torture, so he took it.

 The second type is that the body of the "little Taoist priest" cannot withstand such inhumane torture, and the torture cannot be more than martyrdom for the country.

The third type is that the 'little Taoist priest' suffered such brutal torture, and his body must have been severely injured, and his life would be hanging by a thread, whether it was because of the need to obtain information from the 'little Taoist priest' or because of the need to The 'little Taoist priest' was handed over to the Japanese alive for consideration. Neither Li Cuiqun nor Su Chende could watch the 'little Taoist priest' being tortured to death.

 So, they must send the ‘little Taoist priest’ to the hospital for rescue.

And on the way from the agent headquarters to the hospital for rescue, it is a good opportunity to save people.

 Therefore, the rescue plan planned by Cheng Qianfan was originally a plan within a plan.

Qiao Chuntao used the term "seeking life from death" to describe this rescue plan, which is very appropriate:

 The first possibility is that the 'little Taoist priest' confessed, which would be a disaster for the team leader and the entire special situation team, and would mean 'death'!

 The second possibility is that the "little Taoist priest" died for his country.

 The third possibility is that the life or death of the 'little Taoist priest' is uncertain after being severely injured, and it is also unknown whether the rescue can be successful.

 It’s exactly ‘seeking life from death’!

“It is the final plan to take action when handing over people to the Special High School on the 76th.” Cheng Qianfan said with a solemn expression, “We have to wait for the opportunity of the hospital plan to take action when they send people to the hospital for rescue.”

He looked at the three of them and said with a serious expression, "The most important thing about this plan are the two words 'sudden' and 'accident'."

"In the eyes of the enemy, the 'little Taoist priest' cannot survive the punishment. If a life-threatening situation arises and he needs to be sent to the hospital immediately, they will subconsciously think that this is an unexpected situation. Therefore, the manpower guarding the road at this moment will not be too well prepared. "Cheng Qianfan said, "And we happen to have mental arithmetic but not care, which will further increase our chance of success."

"If the 'little Taoist priest' can't survive the punishment, he will die, and he won't make it that far..." Hao Zai said in a serious tone.

Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took two puffs of cigarette, and said lightly, "His wish was fulfilled, wrapped in horse leather."
