Chapter 997: A Vague Message

Yuan Shiheng left a note for 'Square A' in the theater, asking for a quick and discreet new way of contact.

After putting the note in the dead mailbox, he sat in front of the phone in the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Headquarters the rest of the time, except for the theater that he passed by twice a day and used to contact the dead mailbox, hoping that 'Square Piece A' would call him again. So that he has a chance to tell 'Square A' directly about his intentions.

But since that anonymous phone call, 'Square Piece A' has fallen into silence again, whether it is a dead mailbox or an anonymous phone, 'Square Piece A' has no more news, which makes Yuan Shiheng very helpless, he is now on pins and needles, but he has to wait for 'Square Piece A' to show up again.

Just like he once told Taro Tanaka, in order to establish an ideal new way of contact with 'Fang Piece A', he needs to have the cooperation of 'Fang Piece A' alone. But 'Square Piece A' is like the world has evaporated, and it hasn't given him a reply for two weeks.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shiheng felt that he still needed to coordinate with Deputy Director Xu, you must know that 'Square Piece A' was sent by Deputy Director Xu to break into the Communist Party a long time ago. Maybe it's a good choice to let Deputy Director Xu come forward to inform 'Square Piece A'.

Therefore, he reported this idea to Taro Tanaka, and Taro Tanaka also felt that it was not okay for Yuan Shiheng to sit and wait like this, so he took Yuan Shiheng to the special high school to meet Yukio Fujita.

After reporting to Yukio Fujita, Taro Tanaka finally got the nod of permission from Yukio Fujita. Yukio Fujita agreed that Yuan Shiheng should go to the telecommunications room of the special high school to send a report to Deputy Director Xu of the Central Command explaining that 'Fang Pian A' had begun to fall silent again, and in order to crack the Communist Party's underground organization in Stone Town, Yuan Shiheng asked Deputy Director Xu to find a way to give an order to this 'Fang Pian A' and meet him directly.

When Yuan Shiheng's telegram was seen by Deputy Director Xu, Deputy Director Xu had just put down another piece of top-secret information. This information was sent back from Yan'an by one of the most successful undercover agents in the 'Playing Cards' program, codenamed 'Red Heart A'.

This 'Red Heart A' entered the Communist Party earlier than Cheng Kun and Dong Xianda, and it was also more successful, and now it has entered the Yan'an Social Department, although it is only a small officer, but Deputy Director Xu is very satisfied with the work of 'Red Heart A', and attaches great importance to it.

Of course, 'Red Heart A' rarely uses the radio station to contact Deputy Director Xu, after all, the secret use of the radio station in Yan'an is very risky and easy to expose. And 'Red Heart A' has always been very cautious, unless he gets important information, he will not contact Deputy Director Xu.

But this time, it was obvious that the intelligence information that 'Red Heart A' got was more important, so Deputy Director Xu received a message from 'Red Heart A' at the risk of sending back.

The 'Red Heart' reported that the Communist Party had convened a meeting at the level of a member of the Central Committee and above in Yan'an, and that representatives of the Japanese Communist Party had been invited to the meeting to discuss what to do if the Empire of Japan might surrender because of its defeat.

At the same time, 'Red Heart A' also overheard that an important cadre leading the Communist guerrilla forces in Jiangnan had arrived in Yan'an to attend the meeting through Stone Town under the skillful cover of an important cadre in the occupied area of Jiangnan. It's just that when this important cadre mentions the 'owl', he is passing by, so 'Red Heart A' can't be sure of the true identity of the 'owl', and even whether this 'owl' is a person or the leader of a group can't be determined.

The code name 'Owl' was the first time Deputy Director Xu had heard of it, but he attached great importance to the role that this person played in Stone Town. Generally speaking, if an important cadre of the Communist Party needs the cover of the underground party to pass through the occupied area, it is absolutely a secret among secrets. Judging from this point, Deputy Director Xu believes that this newly emerging code name 'Owl' is definitely an important agent sent by the Communist Party to Stone Town to infiltrate.

It's just that 'Red Heart A' knows too little about this 'owl', so Deputy Director Xu is more willing to convey such a vague news to the Japanese through Yuan Shiheng, so that the Japanese can find a way to investigate.

Just as Deputy Director Xu was about to do this, Yuan Shiheng's secret message was also just sent to Deputy Director Xu's office by someone from the Communications Department of the Central Unified Headquarters.

After Deputy Director Xu personally sent a telegram, he couldn't help but scold Yuan Shiheng and the Japanese behind Yuan Shiheng in his heart.

According to the meaning of Yuan Shiheng in the message, it is obvious that the Japanese want to directly contact Cheng Kun, who is codenamed 'Fang Pian A', which makes Deputy Director Xu feel an inexplicable dissatisfaction in his heart. You must know that Cheng Kun was arranged by him to break into the underground party many years ago, and he spent a lot of thought and paid a lot of money in order to make Cheng Kun successfully infiltrate.

Of course, Deputy Director Xu didn't want the Japanese to reach over and want to pick peaches, and obviously the Japanese had some inches, which Deputy Director Xu was not willing to agree to at all.

In Deputy Director Xu's view, it is very likely that Cheng Kun's life and death are not within the scope of the Japanese considerations, and the Japanese seem to be very impatient and always in a hurry to achieve results in many things, especially when dealing with the Communist Party's underground organization in Stone Town.

This kind of similar thing happened before, which caused Cheng Kun to be included in the scope of the internal investigation of the Communist Party, but fortunately, Cheng Kun's response was very correct at that time, so it was not completely investigated by the Communist Party. But this more or less brought great difficulties to Cheng Kun's latent work, causing Cheng Kun to be silent for a long time and unable to move.

Now that Yuan Shiheng has made such a request again on behalf of the Japanese, Deputy Director Xu is ready to directly refuse this request without even thinking about it.

Of course, in order to continue to maintain this tacit understanding with the Japanese to deal with the Communist Party, Deputy Director Xu could not directly refuse.

Therefore, Deputy Director Xu thought for a while, and then he wrote a call back to Yuan Shiheng. He used a very reasonable excuse, saying that in order to ensure the safety of 'Fang Pian A', there was no contact between Zhongtong and 'Fang Pian A', so he could not directly issue to 'Fang Pian A' to establish a fast communication channel with Yuan Shiheng. Generally speaking, such an important sleeper agent can try not to contact as much as possible, and it is up to him to judge how the sleeper agent should act, and he does not interfere.
