Chapter 0134: The Case Is Alive
After receiving Guan Zhaonan's letter, Lawrence decided to send someone else to replace Guan Zhaonan and complete his unfinished task. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Through the original channel, Lawrence sent a telegram to the informant Liu Simu to inform him to reconnect.
What Lawrence never expected was that Guan Zhaonan, the liaison at this time, had already fallen into the hands of agents of the Renaissance Society!
Not only that, but whether the informant Liu Simu who wants to connect has been exposed, or is already on the verge of exposure, these questions are not considered by Lawrence at all.
Zhou Yanghao came to Wuhan this time, although he did not knock on Zhaonan's mouth, nor did he get the slightest inside story of the Far East Intelligence Bureau's intelligence agency in Shanghai.
But Zhou Yanghao did one thing, he let the case live!
In other words, it was because of Zhou Yanghao's trick that a case that had fallen into a dead end was reactivated according to the old routine!
So the agents of the Renaissance Society had another chance.
Two days later, on April 19, 1935, Lawrence of the Far Eastern Intelligence Bureau in Shanghai sent another person to Wuhan.
This time there was also an episode in the Lawrence faction!
Originally, Lawrence was sent by Lu Haifang, but Lu Haiphong said that there was an urgent matter at home, and recommended his younger brother Lu Dubu to Lawrence, who was a young student with no experience as a secret agent.
However, Lawrence, who has rich experience in the spy sea, still has an extra mind, and he asked that people who go to Wuhan cannot directly contact Guan Zhaonan to bail him, but take his handwritten letter and first find Liu Simu, an informant in Wuhan, to contact and hand over information.
Lu Dubu accepted such a task for the first time, and he felt very curious, exciting, and confident.
Lu Dubu firmly remembered the contact code of the joint and the location of the joint, and carried a handwritten letter written by Lawrence in German, which was enough to prove his identity.
Lu Dubu thinks that such a task is easy to complete, isn't it just a trip to Wuhan!
But he couldn't have been more wrong.
Lu Dubu would have expected that when he set off from Shanghai, he had already fallen into the trap set by Mao Renfeng and Zhou Yanghao of the Fuxing Society.
After Guan Zhaonan sent the letter, Mao Renfeng arranged for spies to keep an eye on the new arrivals from Shanghai at the Hankou steamship wharf, and through the eyes in the telegraph office, they directly kept an eye on the telegram messages sent to key addresses.
Guan Zhaonan was arrested because of a copy of the previous telegram, and this time, the Mao Renfeng did not need to continue to use the next three indiscriminate methods, but used the police to use high-sounding means to monitor the key address and the name of the recipient at all times.
Therefore, as soon as Lu Dubu arrived at the Hankou steamship wharf, he was waited for by the agents of the Hubei Station of the Fuxing Society, and was immediately searched and arrested.
All the documents and letters of introduction that Lu Dubu was carrying were seized.
Lu Dubu was taken to the interrogation room of the Hubei Station of the Fuxing Society.
Mao Renfeng and Zhou Yanghao couldn't help the excitement in their hearts, and put the items that Lu Dubu was carrying on the interrogation table, and the two couldn't wait to start the interrogation of Lu Dubu.
"What's your name?" Mao Renfeng asked
"Lu Dubu."
"What profession?" Zhou Yanghao asked again.
"Students."
"What are you doing in Wuhan?" Mao Renfeng raised his voice, sternly forced Lu Dubu to continue to ask.
“……”
Lu Dubu secretly raised his eyes and looked at Mao Renfeng and Zhou Yanghao, who were sitting majestically in front of the interrogation table, and opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer.
Because, on the interrogation table, there are already Lawrence's handwritten letters, Lu Dubu is a typical example of getting stolen goods, and he has no room for defense.
"Come on, who will you contact in Wuhan?" Zhou Yanghao asked sharply
"I don't know what his name is." Lu Dubu replied timidly.
"When and where are you connecting?" Mao Renfeng asked urgently.
"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, in the lobby of the Pacific Hotel in Hankou." Lu Dubu was scared and said the time and place of the joint.
"What's the joint code between you?" Mao Renfeng's tone became calmer and asked.
"The connector asked me, isn't this the eldest nephew who returned from Soviet Russia? I replied, sir, you have recognized the wrong person, I came from Shanghai to find my eldest cousin. ”
Lu Dubu also said the joint code words as they were.
"Smack!"
Zhou Yanghao glared, slapped the interrogation table, and asked sharply, "That's all?" ”
"That's all."
Lu Dubu was timid and scared, looked at Zhou Yanghao with a pair of frightened eyes, and replied in a low voice.
After the interrogation, Mao Renfeng and Zhou Yanghao immediately arranged the arrest plan for the next day.
The next day, all the agents of Mao Renfeng's action team were dispatched, put on makeup in advance, and came to the lobby of the Pacific Hotel in Hankou to ambush.
Mao Renfeng and Zhou Yanghao personally escorted Lu to walk alone, sitting in an unobtrusive corner of the lobby of the Tianpingyang Hotel, observing the people entering and leaving the hotel at all times.
A little after nine o'clock, a couple in their thirties walked in with each other hugging and whispering.
The man in a suit and leather shoes, the woman in a rose-colored cheongsam, entered the lobby of the hotel, seemingly casually looking around the people in the hall who were standing or sitting.
The spies in ambush were nervous, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at the couple.
Mao Renfeng, who was sitting in the corner, also recognized the person, who was Liu Simu, the colonel and legal commissioner of Chiang Kai-shek's Wuhan Xingyuan.
Mao Renfeng often deals with Liu Simu, and the two are very familiar with each other.
Due to official business, Mao Renfeng was inconvenient to go over to say hello, turned his head and pretended not to see Liu Simu and his wife, and under his feet, he gently kicked Lu Haifeng, meaning that he was ready to connect.
"Oh, I've forgotten my wallet at home!"
Suddenly, Liu Simu touched the pocket of his suit, turned his head and said to his wife Zeng Yun in surprise.
"You, why do you always lose everything, it's still early anyway, we'll go home and get it."
Zeng Yun pulled Liu Simu's arm in disgust and said.
"Okay, let's go back and get the money."
As he spoke, Liu Simu put his arm around Zeng Yun's shoulders, and the husband and wife walked out of the lobby of the Pacific Hotel very calmly.
After Liu Simu and his wife left, Mao Renfeng and the others waited until after eleven o'clock, and no suspicious people were seen coming in or out, and no one stepped forward to contact Lu Dubu.
The hairy phoenix is empty!
disappointed, he took Lu Dubu back to the Hubei Station of the Fuxing Society.
"Brother Mao, didn't that kid tell us the truth?" Zhou Yanghao said dejectedly.
"I guess we didn't plan well and were exposed!" Mao Renfeng replied.
"Exposed? I didn't see any suspicious people come in at all. Zhou Yanghao looked at Mao Renfeng puzzled and said.
"Brother Zhou, just after nine o'clock, two suspicious people came, but you don't know them." Mao Renfeng replied with a frown.
"Oh? Who is it? Zhou Yanghao's spirit was shocked.
"Chairman Jiang's Wuhan Colonel Liu Simu and his wife came in and stood for a while before leaving." Mao Renfeng replied.
"Do you suspect that the connector is the two of them?!"
"Not a suspicion, I'm sure the Eight Achievements are them." Mao Renfeng nodded and said.
"Then why didn't you do it at that time? Grab it back and ask for it. Zhou Yanghao said impulsively.
"Brother Zhou, after all, they didn't connect with Lu Dubu, there is no evidence, I'm a little major, go to arrest the people around the chairman? What if it's wrong? You can't eat and walk around. ”
Mao Renfeng frowned, and looked at Zhou Yanghao with regret and explained.
"Brother Mao, what should we do next?" Zhou Yanghao asked.
"In my opinion, the only way to do this is to secretly monitor Liu Simu and his wife first, and immediately report to Chief Dai, and now this matter can only be decided by Chief Dai." Mao Renfeng looked at Zhou Yanghao and said.
"Hehe, Brother Mao, I'm afraid that if we toss like this, the surname Liu has already run away, where are we going to catch them?" Zhou Yanghao smiled bitterly.
"There is no way to do it, it can only be like this, Liu Simu would be easy to do if he was an ordinary person, but after all, he is the colonel of the chairman of the committee in Wuhan Xingyuan, and his official rank is higher than you and me."
Mao Renfeng shook his head helplessly, and finally did not accept Zhou Yanghao's suggestion, nor did he immediately arrest Liu Simu and his wife, which provided Liu Simu and his wife with enough time to transfer safely.
