Chapter Ninety-Six: Code Name Shaman (II)
Li Qingxiang heard that Yefeng was going to enter disguised as a reporter, raised his eyes and looked at her and said, "Are you a fool on the Japanese?" Will they not know that the intelligence services of various countries will send people to investigate in disguise as journalists? From the moment these League of Nations people arrived in the Northeast, the Japanese secret services had to monitor them 24 hours a day, and you could not be an exception. ”
Yefeng said: "After I go in, there is still a mission, which is a joint operation. ”
Li Qingxiang wondered: "Joint action? With whom to unite? ”
Yefeng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Communist Party." ”
Li Qingxiang was stunned: "The Communist Party? Are you saying that the Communist Party will also send people to disguise themselves as journalists? No, where did they have that opportunity? Even if they have something to do with the Soviet side, the Soviets will send their own people to investigate, and they will not let the CCP send people, right? ”
Yefeng shook his head: "It is indeed a joint operation between us and the Soviet side, but the people who acted with me are indeed agents of the Chinese Communist Party." ”
Li Qingxiang was completely stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Yefeng said: "Here's the thing, this agent of the CCP is called Bu Hongyi, codenamed Stubborn Stone. He was arrested two years ago, but the reason for his arrest was not because his identity was exposed, but because he was involved in an illegal drug dealing, and was sentenced to eight years by the puppet Manchurian government, but a year and a half ago, this person disappeared from prison, and after an investigation by the Chinese Communist Party, it was determined that this person was not killed, but was taken away by the Japanese. The CCP discovered through the intelligence officers of the Soviet side within the Kwantung Army that this person's name appeared on the list of residents of Gongrong Village. ”
Li Qingxiang seemed to understand: "The Soviets want to investigate the truth of this Gongrong Village, but it is not realistic to rely only on the people in the press corps, so they decided to take joint action with the CCP, but the CCP has no way to send people to disguise reporters here, because Chongqing has the quota of reporters on the Chinese side, and under the premise of last resort, it can only adopt the situation of tripartite cooperation?" ”
Yefeng nodded and said: "Yes, that is to say, I entered Gongrong Village with the Soviet Union agents with the reporters of the League of Nations, waiting for an opportunity to find the CCP agent codenamed Stubborn Stone, so as to investigate Gongrong Village." ”
Li Qingxiang said: "Are the people on the Soviet side reliable? ”
Ye Feng said: "The person they sent this time is named Fadeev, and he belongs to the General State Security Bureau of the Soviet Union, and I don't know the specific situation, so I have to leave for Chongqing tomorrow, and then return after getting a new identity in Chongqing." ”
After listening to this, Li Qingxiang said: "I have discovered now, if we want to make a difference in the Northeast, we have to rely on the Communist Party, they are really pervasive, and the spies on the Soviet side have infiltrated the Kwantung Army." ”
Yefeng said: "In addition, the Soviet side wants to determine one more thing, that is, Japan's next military purpose. ”
Li Qingxiang said: "This is too difficult, right? ”
Yefeng said: "In other words, they want to determine whether the Japanese are going south or north to invade the Soviet Union." ”
Li Qingxiang nodded: "Okay, then what do I need to do after you enter in disguise?" ”
Yefeng said: "As soon as I leave tomorrow, all the work in Harbin will be handed over to you." ”
Li Qingxiang said with a smile: "There are only two of us left in the Kunlun group, what else is there to do?" Besides, I've been hollowed out. ”
Yefeng said: "No matter what happens in Chongqing, I always trust you, so you have to meet someone tonight, my informant in the Security Bureau, if I have something, you will contact him in the future." ”
Li Qingxiang asked, "Who is this person?" ”
Yefeng said: "His code name is Shaman. ”
Li Qingxiang frowned: "Code name shaman? It's a shame you guys figured out, where are we going to meet? What is the connector code? ”
Yefeng said: "You meet in Peach Blossom Lane." ”
Li Qingxiang was surprised: "Peach Blossom Lane!?" ”
Yefeng said: "Yes, don't you men like to go to that kind of place?" Just right, not suspicious. ”
Li Qingxiang asked, "What about the specifics?" ”
Yefeng said: "You go to Peach Blossom Lane There is a kiln called Peach Blossom Spring, after you go there, you say to find Cui'er, and the old bustard will take you to see Cui'er, and the shaman will naturally look for you at that time." ”
Li Qingxiang asked, "That's it?" ”
Yefeng said: "That's it, I should go, you drink less wine, and you have to do business, goodbye." ”
When Yefeng raised his feet and left, Li Qingxiang got up and said, "Be careful yourself." ”
Yefeng didn't answer, and soon went out and disappeared into the darkness.
Li Qingxiang stood there and said to himself, "Code name shaman? Who could it be? ”
In the hotel in Gongrong Village, Tang Qianlin and others were gathered together, discussing what they should do next.
They have been in Gongei Village for a day and a night, and since last night's dinner, they have not seen Kenji Ishihara, and there are no Japanese soldiers in the entire Gongei Village, only the police are responsible for security, and the police are not only Japanese, but also Chinese, Koreans, and so on.
Moreover, the order here is surprisingly good, not to mention the incidents of theft and robbery, not even normal disputes between people.
Tang Qianlin looked at the silent crowd: "What do you think?" ”
Qian Sinian took the lead and said: "I'm not interested in this place, I just want to go back as soon as possible and report the Hongtutun incident to General Miyake, and I don't know what's going on outside now." ”
Ye Da leaned against the wall and didn't say a word, just staring at the others like Tang Qianlin.
Li Yunfan said: "I have the same opinion as Tang Qianlin, the Japanese are using this place to cover something. I have inquired, most of the Chinese here are from prisons, but they are not serious offenders, and there are no anti-Manchurian anti-Japanese people, mainly economic criminals, in short, they are not poor and vicious. As for the Japanese, they came from the diaspora, they were all literate and knowledgeable, and there were no ordinary peasants, and as for those Russians, they were former Russian aristocrats, who came voluntarily, which shows that the people they brought here were selective, that is, they would not make trouble. ”
Yi Mochen nodded and said: "I also have a general understanding of the situation of the shop, there is everything, food and drink, everything, and the currency used here is not Manchukuo Yuan, but the currency issued by the Bank of Yokohama, Japan, which is divided into three denominations, one yuan, Wu yuan and Shi Yuan." ”
Ni Xiaowan said: "I also wonder, why do you use this currency? ”
Yi Mochen said: "The Bank of Yokohama of Japan set up a branch in China very early, the address is in Changchun, which is now Xinjing, the earliest issuance of this banknote was in the 28th year of Guangxu, that is, in 1902, and the place of issuance is also in the Northeast, but this currency can basically be regarded as a savings ticket, and the military ticket issued at the same time to raise war funds is almost the same, all in preparation for the Russo-Japanese War later, and the golden ticket of the Bank of Korea was issued at the same time. ”
"In other words, the economy here is relatively independent? ”
Yi Mochen explained: "The yen is the gold standard, and the basis for the Bank of Yokohama's currency issuance in China is the yen. In other words, the Yokohama currency issued here has nothing to do with Manchukuo, but is directly connected to the yen. ”
Everyone looked at Yi Mochen blankly.
Yi Mochen said again: "Although the Manchukuo Yuan used to adopt the silver standard, it is the same as the Republic of China. However, in the past few years, it has been changed to the gold standard, but Manchukuo itself has limited gold reserves, so it fundamentally relies on the yen, which is the so-called Japan-Manchukuo economic integration. I think that the reason why the Japanese do not use the Manchukuo won directly here, but use the Yokohama coin, which has not been issued for a long time, is actually because they do not want to have a direct connection with Manchukuo, but they can claim that the purpose of doing so is for the purpose of experimenting with the economy. ”
Except for Qian Sinian and Li Yunfan, everyone else listened to Yi Mochen's words as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
Ni Xiaowan asked: "What is the gold standard and the silver standard?" ”
Yi Mochen was puzzled: "With your culture, I can't explain it in one or two sentences, alas, how can I tell you this, it's me who is wrong......"
Ni Xiaowan raised her foot and kicked: "Boom! ”
Tang Qianlin said: "I still think we should keep an eye on that Mo Di, he is the agent of Kenji Ishihara, and he is an archaeologist, this is still the site of an old city in the former Bohai Kingdom, it is not good to choose where to choose, but to choose this, it must be to cover up something." Boss Yi, you are a snake in the Northeast, think about it, ponder, by the way, is there an antique store here? ”
Yi Mochen nodded and said, "There are really two, you reminded me, I will go to those two stores to find out." ”
Yi Mochen was about to leave as he spoke, and Ni Xiaowan said, "It's dark." ”
Yi Mochen said: "What do you know?" It's good when it's dark, it's almost a set, drink two glasses, and you can ask about anything. ”
After Yi Mochen left, Ye Da said: "Mo Di is convinced of Ishihara Kenji's methods and ideas, that is to say, this person has been brainwashed a long time ago, will he get nothing from him?" ”
Qian Sinian looked at Tang Qianlin, he was not ready to express his opinion, and he would not take the initiative to approach Kenji Ishihara, for him, here, it would be good to have his ears and eyes, and his mouth had to be closed.
Just as Tang Qianlin was about to say something, he heard hurried footsteps from the street and the shouts of people.
Tang Qianlin opened the window and saw a large number of policemen running in the direction of the end of the street, and many residents also hurriedly followed, as if something big had happened.
"Let's go down and have a look." Tang Qianlin and the others immediately went downstairs.
When he got downstairs, Tang Qianlin stopped a passerby and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The man muttered a lot, and Tang Qianlin listened to him for a long time and knew that he was "Smecta" or something, and knew that he was a North Korean. At this time, Qian Sinian stepped forward, communicated with the man in Korean, and then said to Tang Qianlin: "He said that someone was killed." ”
"What?" Tang Qianlin was stunned, "Killed?" ”
Qian Sinian looked in the direction where those people were going: "Let's go, go and see how this place, which they call Paradise, can anyone still be killed." ”
The crowd followed the crowd to the house at the end of the street and found that the police had cordoned off the perimeter and did not allow anyone to enter. Tang Qianlin and the others had to stretch their necks to look inside, just like those residents, wondering what was going on.
At this moment, Mo Di hurried to the house and was led into the house by the police.
