Lao Hou was still a little unconvinced, and asked Yin Qunli: "If this news is true, it is very important." But my superiors didn't inform me about it, who did you hear about it? ”

Lao Hou was extremely cautious about any important intelligence news, because the news that Yin Qunli brought today was so important that he had to report it to Minister Pan in the evening.

But before reporting to his superiors, the old man must confirm the source of the news in order to prove the authenticity. If it was fake news, he knew that his report would bring a lot of trouble to the decision-making of his superiors. And it's not that he doesn't believe in Yin Qunli.

Yin Qunli replied: "It was Shinnosuke Murakami who told me alone today, and he told me the reasons why he secretly followed Wen Mian, Li Yixin, Yin Qunli and others. It is said that the Japanese learned from a secret source that there was a comrade of our party codenamed 'Spark' and 'Owl' who was very active in Stone Town, covering the return of an important cadre of our Party from Yan'an to the station through Stone Town, and that the 'owl' was lurking in the Wang puppet government office in Huangshan Province. Moreover, some of the three Japanese Communist Party members who were arrested in Shanghai also confessed that there were also 'sparks' and 'owls' in Stone Town, and that they were originally going to go to Shanghai via Stone Town, but later changed their route temporarily. At present, the Japanese Special High School is conducting a secret investigation. ”

When Lao Hou heard this, he was very shocked. Because all the news he heard from Shinnosuke Murakami from Yin Qunli's mouth was true, which shows that the other channel through which the Japanese special high school got the news was very important and the information was very accurate.

Could it be that there are still moles within the party organization? You must know that two days ago, he also raised the suspicion of a traitor in a telegram to Minister Pan, and now it seems to have been confirmed. And this traitor knows more than he knows.

Thinking of this, Lao Hou stared at Yin Qunli's eyes and asked, "If the Japanese suspect that the 'owl' is lurking in the Wang puppet government office in Stone Town, why didn't Murakami Shinnosuke doubt you?" ”

Yin Qunli replied with a wry smile: "Why is there no suspicion? A few days ago, I was also secretly followed and watched by plainclothes agents of the Japanese Special High School. It's just that I noticed it by chance, so I caught the Japanese spy who was tracking and monitoring me, and went to Murakami Shinnosuke to make a big fuss. But even so, there was still a 'tail' behind me. It may also be that the number of plainclothes agents that can be sent by the Japanese Special High School is insufficient, and in addition, there are many people and family members on this suspect list who need to be followed and monitored, so the Japanese need to use me and the spies who surrendered from the Shicheng Station of the Military Command; It is also possible that the Japanese think that I am an 'owl' is very unlikely, and I preemptively reported to Shinnosuke Murakami when Comrade Gao Hongcheng's identity was exposed, and for these reasons, Shinnosuke Murakami revoked the tracking and monitoring of me, and told me the inside story in order to make me die, and let me take those traitor agents to participate in the secret tracking and monitoring operation. That's why I had the opportunity to learn about it. ”

After listening to Yin Qunli's explanation, Lao Hou understood why Yin Qunli violated the organizational principles of underground work and came directly to report to him when Li Yixin had been secretly tracked and monitored by the special high school.

He nodded, and said with some concern: "I see, I will report the news you heard to my superiors." By the way, do you think that Comrade Li Yixin has already revealed his flaws, and has the Japanese in the special high school already locked him up? ”

Lao Hou is still very worried about Li Yixin's secret tracking and surveillance, if the Japanese have the intention of locking Li Yixin, then he must start to find a way to withdraw Li Yixin, Mu Qingwan, Hu Yongqiang, and Che Mei from Stone Town, which can be described as a major blow to the work of the party organization in Stone Town. But for the sake of the lives of these comrades, he had to prepare for the worst.

The point is that if the evacuation of these four comrades is to be carried out under the supervision of the Japanese, it will be quite difficult to succeed, and if Lao Hou makes up his mind, he must make some preparations in advance. So he needed to get a definite answer from Yin Qunli.

Yin Qunli shook his head and replied: "Judging from the current situation, Comrade Li Yixin is only included in the list of suspects now, and the Japanese do not have any conclusive evidence to prove that Comrade Li Yixin is an 'owl'. ”

After a pause, Yin Qunli reacted and asked Lao Hou, "Are you thinking about letting Comrade Li Yixin and Mu Qingwan withdraw from Stone Town?" ”

Lao Hou nodded and said, "Yes, if Comrade Li Yixin is really in danger, I must find a way to transfer him out." ”

Yin Qunli suddenly smiled at this time and said: "Actually, I think that since the Japanese have no definite evidence to prove that Comrade Li Yixin is an 'owl', if we move, we will confirm the identity of Comrade Li Yixin." It is better to find a way to divert the attention of the Japanese people, so that the Japanese people think that the real 'owl' is someone else, and Comrade Li Yixin will be safe. ”

Lao Hou began to pace around the room and said thoughtfully, "Divert the attention of the Japanese? …… That's a good idea, but how do you go about it? Planted? So who are we targeting? ”

Yin Qunli thought for a while and suggested: "After Shinnosuke Murakami told me the inside story today, he specifically mentioned one person: Yuan Shiheng!" In the past, there was no traitor to the Central Command in the list of secret tracking and monitoring targets, but today Shinnosuke Murakami specifically asked me to pay attention to Yuan Shiheng's every move from today onwards, and to take measures to secretly track and monitor him. I wonder if the Japanese may not have thought that Yuan Shiheng might be an 'owl' before, but now it seems that the possibility that Yuan Shiheng is an 'owl' cannot be ruled out. If we can take advantage of the situation and shift the attention of the Japanese to Yuan Shiheng, just as we did with Yan Fuzhi, then we will be able to successfully clear the suspicion of Comrade Li Yixin. ”

Lao Hou's eyes lit up, the idea proposed by Yin Qunli was still good, but Yuan Shiheng had always been trusted by the Japanese special high school before, and now it seems that the Japanese trust Yuan Shiheng seems to have nothing more than a problem. Of course, he also had to send the Japanese ironclad proof that Yuan Shiheng was an 'owl'.

It takes a lot of planning, but the idea that Yin Qunli came up with is a very good idea. If it succeeds, it will not only allow Li Yixin to get rid of the suspicion of the Japanese, but also take this opportunity to get rid of Yuan Shiheng, an enemy whose hands are stained with the blood of his comrades!
