Chapter X: Impact of Events
Two hours later, in the back hall of the Gathering Library, Xu Chengyan sat at the table and wrote quickly, stopped his pen after a while, screwed the pen in his hand on the cap, and inserted it back into the pocket of his jacket.
checked the manuscript paper again, raised his hand and handed it to Ding Mingrui on the side, and said, "I estimate that there are other intelligence agents who will also report, but they will not be more complete than mine." ”
Today, the Japanese killed so many military commanders, in order to shock the hearts of the whole city, the news spread widely, and there should be other intelligence officers to watch the scene, and they will definitely write down the names of the martyrs, but Xu Chengyan is very confident in his memory.
Ding Mingrui took the manuscript paper, looked at it carefully, and said with some surprise: "I also rushed to the scene today when I heard the news, but I only wrote down the names of forty-one martyrs, and a few names were misremembered, which is already my limit, I didn't expect you to be not bad, it's really a good memory."
No wonder the stationmaster said that you have a super memory, which can be called unforgettable, and every time you have a full score in the intelligence analysis course, you are his most proud student. ”
Regarding Xu Chengyan, although Ding Mingrui is not used to his approach, he also knows that the two are only differences in attitude and style, and there is no major conflict in nature, plus Xu Chengyan has the support of Chu Guangji behind him, so his attitude towards Xu Chengyan has also eased.
"The teacher is overrated!" Xu Chengyan replied lightly and didn't say anything more.
Ding Mingrui looked at Xu Chengyan's face, and knew what the reason was, how could he not be like this, seeing so many comrades-in-arms and colleagues being slaughtered alive by the Japanese, the grief and indignation in his heart were also empathetic.
Ding Mingrui sighed lightly and said: "The Japanese are doing this in response to our previous retaliation, it seems that they have taken precautions, during this time, you should be careful and don't act rashly." ”
Xu Chengyan glanced at him a little strangely, and suddenly remembered that he accepted the task of investigating Han Zhirong and directly accepted the orders of Chu Guangji and Cao Ruian.
Because of Han Zhirong's special identity, Chu Guangji issued a gag order, and this matter was also kept secret from Ding Mingrui, so Ding Mingrui didn't know what he was doing now.
Xu Chengyan left the Jushu Pavilion and rushed to Han Zhirong's house again, it was already noon at this time, and Han Zhirong should have returned home to rest.
When he came to the teahouse, Ji Yun was already waiting there, watching Xu Chengyan come back, although his face was calm, his eyes were gloomy, which made him feel surprised.
Xu Chengyan has always been very deep in the city, and he is invisible, and today's performance must be related to the incident that happened this morning, so Ji Yun didn't ask much, the two of them sat opposite each other, and they didn't speak for a while.
After a while, Xu Chengyan suddenly said: "I'm going to kill Yoshioka Masao!" ”
Ji Yun was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly understood what his companion meant, he knew Xu Chengyan's temperament, as long as this sentence came out, he would become a benevolent if he didn't succeed, and there was no possibility of turning back.
Xu Chengyan's decision this time was by no means a whim, he was a soldier who fought the battlefield, and he had already looked down on life and death, but today's scene was different from the battlefield, especially when he recalled the tragedy of the scene when Wu Zhengyun and others sacrificed, his heart has not been able to calm down.
In the end, he was determined to kill the initiator Masao Yoshioka and those shameful traitors, and avenge the martyrs who died today, even at the cost of his life.
The two of them have always advanced and retreated together, Ji Yun naturally will not retreat, he thought about it, and asked, "What are you going to do?" This guy is cunning, the guards around him are very tight, food and accommodation are in the special high class, once he travels, everywhere he goes is a large group of Japanese agents guards, we can't get close at all, I heard that Taiyuan Station and other forces have also launched many assassination operations against him before, but every time it is a heavy loss, it is not easy to find his weakness. ”
"The solution was figured out by man!" Xu Chengyan said categorically, and there was no room for refutation in his tone, "If others can't do it, it doesn't mean that we can't do it, I don't believe it, and I can't find his weaknesses." ”
Ji Yun has always listened to Xu Chengyan, as long as Xu Chengyan wants to do it, even if it is Daoshan, he is not afraid, this is the friendship formed in the cruel war for so long, and each other can give their lives to each other.
Wen Yan nodded and said, "Okay, then we have to complete Han Zhirong's investigation as soon as possible, and free up our hands to deal with Yoshioka Masao, but ......"
Speaking of this, Ji Yun asked with some hesitation, "Do you want to apply to the teacher for this task?" ”
"No," Xu Chengyan categorically vetoed, he already had a plan in his heart, "Now that the action team is in place, the teacher has made it clear that such a task will not be handed over to us, if we apply for a task, he will not agree at all, but will be reprimanded by him, this time we will come by ourselves!" ”
Late at night, where the Taiyuan Intelligence Station was located, under the dim light, Chu Guangji stood in front of the desk, his eyes were deep, his expression was solemn, and after a long time, he put down his pen.
"Looking at Chang'an in the northwest, pity countless mountains!"
The strength is strong, the pen is vertical and horizontal, the book is full of the complex feelings of the pen holder, just when he is stunned, footsteps came, and a knock sounded outside the door.
Only then did Chu Guangji come back to his senses and responded, "Come in!" ”
The door was pushed open, Cao Ruian pushed the door in, came to Chu Guangji in a few steps, and reported: "The bodies of the martyrs were sent to the mass grave in the north of the city by the people from the police station, and I secretly sent the benefits, and asked the people who gathered to make marks and collect them in one place, and then deal with them when the rumors passed." ”
Chu Guangji nodded slightly when he heard this, but he still didn't speak, he was also at the scene of the execution today, and everything that happened was vivid, and he felt it deeply.
It took a long time before he asked, "Have you collected all the information?" ”
"It has been collected, there are a total of four intelligence officers at the scene of the execution today, and they have each written down a part of the list, especially Xu Chengyan, he provided a list of all the martyrs, and also recognized six traitors who defected to the enemy, and now I have summarized these information, this is the list."
After speaking, he handed over the list in his hand.
Chu Guangji took it and looked at it carefully, and the list above was very clear.
"The six traitors have been confirmed, namely Zhou Taiqing, the former director of the intelligence department of Suiyuan Station, Pu Xingyun and Yao Zizhen, the leaders of the intelligence team, Lu Mingzhi, the former head of the Taiyuan Station operation team, and Deng Hui and Yan Gaoyi, the leaders of the operation team."
Chu Guangji thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The traitors at Suiyuan Station are all intelligence officers, and the traitors at Taiyuan Station are all operational personnel, that is to say, among these six traitors, Zhou Taiqing and Lu Mingzhi, who have the highest status, are the leaders of the others, and the remaining four people are all their cronies, and the Japanese are selected based on the opinions of these two people, or because of these two people. ”
Cao Ruian also felt the same way, nodded and said: "We also analyze it this way, Zhou Taiqing and Lu Mingzhi should be the first evil, according to the family rules of our military command, these two people must be eliminated, and they will not be tolerated!" ”
Chu Guangji snorted coldly, the impact of this incident was huge, and the entire intelligence organization of the Jinsui Cha District was destroyed, which was unprecedented in the history of military command.
Before he came to Taiyuan, the bureau had personally met with him, and explained very clearly that he must make a resolute counterattack against this defeat.
"Report the list immediately, I can guess the reaction of the bureau headquarters, such a big sacrifice, and also catch up with senior cadres like Wang and the stationmaster, the bureau headquarters can't let it go lightly, and next, our work will be very heavy."
While they were talking, there was another knock at the door, and soon a young man walked in.
This person looks to be in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall figure, broad round shoulders, a tall chest, and a strong body like an iron pillar, which is Chu Guangji's henchman, Dai Yingjie, the captain of the Taiyuan Station Operation.
Cao Ruian knew that Dai Yingjie must have something to talk to Chu Guangji, and it was inconvenient for him to stay here, so he bowed slightly at Dai Yingjie, said hello, and then turned to Chu Guangji and said, "Stationmaster, then I'll go first!" ”
"Good!" Chu Guangji nodded in agreement.
After Cao Ruian left, Dai Yingjie stepped forward and asked, "Stationmaster, what task are you looking for me?" ”
Chu Guangji snorted and asked slowly, "Have you heard about today's incident?" ”
"I heard that the Japanese executed all the captured people, and it was known all over the city." Dai Yingjie said that before he came, he had guessed that this time was most likely related to what happened during the day.
"It's madness!" Chu Guangji smashed his fist on the table, shaking the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, "The target of this operation is set to be Yoshioka Masao, and we will directly have a beheading operation to avenge the stationmaster and the stationmaster Wang!" ”
Dai Yingjie was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Chu Guangji to be so determined this time, and he directly attacked the Japanese intelligence leader Yoshioka Masao.
The clear list given to him by Chu Guangji before, the identity of the Japanese puppet military and political personnel on it cannot be compared with Yoshioka Masao, he is still confident that he can complete the task of hoeing and raping, but if he assassinates a Japanese intelligence leader of Yoshioka Masao's level, it is very difficult, and it is impossible to succeed if he does not pay the price.
However, for Chu Guangji's order, as the captain of the operation, he must carry it out to the letter, and immediately straightened up and promised: "Yes, I will immediately make a plan to assassinate Yoshioka Masao!" ”
Speaking of this, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, this slight change did not escape Chu Guangji's eyes, and he suddenly frowned, and asked with some displeasure: "What, are you not confident, or do you have no courage?" ”
During this period of time, Chu Guangji was not satisfied with the performance of his old department, and even his attitude towards Dai Yingjie was a little unkind.
Chu Guangji's tone was very heavy, Dai Yingjie was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "Stationmaster, you know, I didn't bring many operators this time, and I lost a lot when I was in Linfen, and now I have entered Taiyuan, and there are less than twenty people together, and it is okay to carry out ordinary operations, but to assassinate Yoshioka Masao, the manpower needed is indispensable, and there are all kinds of preparations, and there is a lack of personnel in my hands, I think, can I select a few capable personnel from the intelligence department to supplement me, so that the certainty of the operation is also greater." ”
For Dai Yingjie's request, Chu Guangji couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, because the personnel of the intelligence department were also very nervous, and the three intelligence teams were only sixteen people when they were full, and most of them were not very capable of action, so how could there be rich personnel to supplement Dai Yingjie.
Seeing that Chu Guangji was a little embarrassed, Dai Yingjie simply picked out his words and said again: "I heard that since this period of time, we have successfully assassinated four targets, all of them were done cleanly, I don't know who did it?" This kind of operation is a bit condescending to be placed in the intelligence department, can you ......?"
"No way!" Chu Guangji waved his hand and categorically rejected his proposal, "Vipers and pit vipers are excellent intelligence veterans, and they are also my most proud students, so they can't be used as operational personnel. ”
The status and use of intelligence agents are superior to those of operational agents, and Chu Guangji has high hopes for Xu Chengyan and the two, of course they can't be used as cannon fodder.
At this time, he didn't want Dai Yingjie to be too careful, so he quickly explained: "Besides, if you really give people to you, it's also troublesome, you know?" These two people are unruly and alone, Ding Mingrui came to me several times before to complain, saying that they are impulsive and rash, disobey the leadership, and it is difficult to get along with them, and they are now performing a very important task, and they can't get out for a while, so don't count on them. ”
Dai Yingjie saw that Chu Guangji was resolute, so he had no choice but to give up, and besides, as Chu Guangji said, it was indeed a trouble for such a person to be placed under his hands, and if he didn't do it, it would affect other team members, so he didn't say more.
