Spy sea wind and thunder

People from my hometown have lost contact.

And carry important information with you.

Although Uncle Li did not explicitly state the value of this information, Song Shutang already had a guess in his mind, and it was certain that it was of great importance.

The first priority now is not to find someone from his hometown or to launch a rescue.

Instead, we must first determine whether the intelligence has been exposed.

Prioritize!
  Reason is often needed in intelligence work. After all, the harm caused by the exposure of this information may be incalculable.

Song Shutang said seriously: "If a comrade is arrested and escorted to Shanghai, or arrested directly in Shanghai, I think it will be difficult to escape the connection with the secret service headquarters."

The Secret Service Headquarters is the most important intelligence agency in Japan's hands.

And it is developing rapidly now.

And only they know better how to deal with their own people, this is their specialty.

Therefore, Song Shutang could guess that the organization would definitely contact different intelligence staff to inquire about information, and Song Shutang might be just one of them.

But he believed that the Secret Service Headquarters had the highest probability.

Uncle Li actually thought the same thing, so he said: "But if this matter happens, it must be very confidential. You must be careful when asking about it and not expose it."

"I know." Song Shutang knew that this news was difficult to find out.

It’s hard for you to find out the exposure of the military commander.

Because you were not involved, Wan Liang kept it a secret from you.

So the loss of contact among organization personnel is probably a higher level of confidentiality.

The secret service headquarters was investigating the whereabouts of the assassination leaker. At least Song Shutang knew about it and could still ask some questions.

But there was no rumor at all about the organization, and Song Shutang couldn't even ask.

If you ask.

The other party needs to ask you why you know this first.

What's your answer?
  Therefore, how to investigate this information was the most difficult problem for Song Shutang at the beginning.

But this matter is too important not to try.

Therefore, Song Shutang did not stay with Uncle Li for a long time. Instead, he returned to the subdivision and began to think of ways to investigate this matter.

But after thinking about it, you don't have a good angle to approach it from.

After all, this matter is confidential.

You can’t even mention it.

Unless the other party takes the initiative to bring it up, how could the other party take the initiative to bring it up?

Neither Li Qun nor Wan Liang would mention this matter without reason.

Therefore, Song Shutang had no choice but to go to the secret service headquarters to inquire without going through Li Qun and Wan Liang. After all, there must be members involved in the operation.

But those members who can participate in the action are trustworthy.

Moreover, as long as they participate in the operation, they will be required to keep it secret, and the people in the agent headquarters are very vigilant.

If you try to gossip about something that requires confidentiality, do you think the other party will doubt you?

Then Song Shutang thought about whether he could get closer to this matter by participating in the investigation of military reunification.

Although Wan Liang kept it secret and did not want Song Shutang to participate.

But if you think of a way, or make a strong request to show that you want to make a contribution, you can still get some opportunities.

It's just that Song Shutang doesn't think this method is feasible.

First of all, if you do this, Wan Liang will not be happy. In the future, if there is a problem with the mission here, you will cause trouble and be suspected.

Secondly, if you do such a thing, it has no connection with your investigation of the organization.

These are exactly two tasks.

There is no overlap at all.

After thinking about it for two days in a row, Song Shutang didn't have a good idea, but this task couldn't be put off forever.

He also felt that the secret service headquarters was most likely to know.

Therefore, Song Shutang could only go to see Uncle Li again.

When they met again this time, Song Shutang said directly: "I went back and thought about this task carefully for a long time, but found that there was no way to get involved. If I just slowly look for opportunities to investigate, it may be too late."

Li Qun also frowned.

We had been out of contact for five days, and with these two days, we had been out of contact for seven days.

Seven days is enough time for a lot of things to happen, and no one can sit still.

It's just that Song Shutang is one of the few lurking personnel in their secret service headquarters. As for the people lurking under Song Shutang, there is no way to find out the news. Their status is too low.

Song Shutang is the most promising.

There is nothing he can do, and it will be even more difficult elsewhere.

Just when Uncle Li was worried, Song Shutang said, "Can you think of a way to give me some clues here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't the comrades in the organization out of contact? Can our contact point show panic? After all, the comrades in the organization have been out of contact for seven days."

"Appearing panicked?"

"The comrades at the contact point wanted to inquire about this member, and even arranged for people to enter the concession to inquire, and the division heard about it."

"Do you want the division to get hold of this information first, and then use this information to test the secret service headquarters to see if they know about it?"

"Yes."

"But according to the style of our organization, when a gay man loses contact, he must assume that he is in danger. How can he still ask around?"

"But our comrades carry important information, so it's understandable for us to be anxious."

"But the Japanese and puppets may not know that the comrades in the organization carry important information. If we do this, it will make them react and interrogate the comrades in the organization more severely."

The problem Uncle Li mentioned does exist.

Your reaction is quite abnormal, and it may make the Japanese and puppets realize that there is something wrong here.

But Song Shutang said: "But our comrades have lost contact. It is now the seventh day. Even if the Japanese and puppets do not respond at this time, when we start to secretly inquire from all aspects, can we guarantee that the Japanese and puppets will not know?"

If they knew that we were spying secretly, they would be able to guess that the comrades carried important information. Even if they couldn't guess it, according to the capabilities of the Japanese and puppets, it would be impossible for them not to be suspicious for a long time, and even they have already concluded that there is important information. .

It is a bit illusory for us to place our hopes on the other party's ignorance. Instead of doing this, it is better to ask for clues as soon as possible to see what the specific situation is. "

Song Shutang also knew that his proposal would bring certain problems.

But now the problem has arisen.

It's also difficult to avoid this problem if you don't investigate.

It’s just a matter of length of time.

Uncle Li thought for a while and said: "I will report your proposal to the organization. If the organization agrees, I will arrange for people to inquire in Shanghai. Then people in the area can also receive the news and report it to you. You can use this Let’s do something about it.”

The implication is that if people in the partition do not receive the message, then the organization does not agree to this.

After all, there is another issue you have to consider when doing this.

That is, the missing persons were not arrested.

Maybe there was some trouble.

But he was not arrested.

Then your investigation may lead to the arrest of the other party.

Although the possibility of not being arrested is very small, intelligence work must consider all aspects, so Uncle Li cannot guarantee whether Song Shutang's proposal will eventually be agreed to.

Of course, Song Shutang also understood that Uncle Li had no say in this matter, so he said, "Then I'll go back and wait for news." He could understand the organization's concerns about this matter.

After all, it involves too much.

No one dares to make decisions easily.

But the more critical the moment, the less time there is for you to look forward and backward.

Solving problems often requires some courage.

After going back to the subdivision and waiting until the next day, Yan Feng came back and reported to Song Shutang, saying that he had heard some news in the concession.

When Song Shutang heard it, it was the news released by the organization.

the next day?
  The news came just one night?
  Song Shutang really didn't expect it. He thought the organization would need to consider this matter for some time.

Or simply refuse.

But just the next day?

In other words, when he left Uncle Li yesterday, he reported the news to the organization, and the organization immediately agreed and immediately arranged a plan, otherwise he would not have received such news today.

Courage!

The person in charge of the organization in Shanghai was far more courageous than Song Shutang imagined.

He knows that this matter is very important, and if there is a mistake in decision-making, it will be very fatal.

But now it seems that the organization comrade is acceptable because he wants to solve the problem instead of making it smaller.

The problem of getting smaller is still a problem.

Problems that cannot be solved will always bring danger.

After praising the courage of the organization comrades, Song Shutang asked doubtfully: "You said there are people in the concession asking for information about the anti-Japanese elements?"

"I didn't say they were anti-Japanese elements, but the feeling was definitely correct, and what I asked was quite specific. They said they should have arrived in Shanghai seven or eight days ago, but now they are nowhere to be seen. You said this kind of thing was published in the newspaper?" It’s not enough to tell people about it, but they secretly inquire about it, and they follow the route of an intelligence dealer.”

Song Shutang also frowned and said, "Listening to what you said, this matter is indeed very strange."

"And they also have a reward for anyone who can provide clues, and there will be generous rewards."

"It seems like this person is very important."

"That's what it says."

"Do you know the specific information?"

"Information dealers should know, after all, they need these people to help them find people, but we don't know very well."

"You should find a way to inquire with the information dealer."

"This is their employer's information, and it is well paid. They also have responsibilities and ethics and will not disclose it under normal circumstances."

"Go to the district to interrogate a fund and find out clearly." Song Shutang understood very well that in this case, you only need to add more money.

Because any professional ethics they have is actually money.

When you give them money and satisfy them, then you are their customer.

Their professional ethics are only for you.

Soon Yan Feng came back with new information, saying that the information dealer didn't know who the client was, but the reward was indeed very generous.

It's just that the characteristics told are not very obvious. It seems that the other party has never seen this person, so he only knows a rough idea.

Men in their thirties have a normal body shape.

The accent is a bit northern Shaanxi.

This is information revealed by the organization. Does the organization really not know any more information?
  of course not.

But can not say.

After all, you still have to consider that if this person is not arrested, then your information may lead to his arrest.

So I gave a rough idea.

As long as the comrades of the organization are not arrested, the help to the enemy is the minimum.

At the same time, the organization comrades also want to see if the intelligence dealer can detect the information. If they can find it, they can save a lot of trouble.

Not just within the concession.

There is also such news outside the concession, otherwise only Song Shutang can receive it, which would be strange.

After hearing this, Song Shutang said: "Those who can spend a lot of money but are unwilling to publish it in newspapers are most likely to be anti-Japanese elements."

"what should we do?"

"Find people out."

"But the clues we know are limited." Yan Feng said.

"Continue to investigate and cooperate with those intelligence traffickers."

"Funding is needed."

"Go ahead and apply."

"Yes."

At the same time, Song Shutang also told Mei Mu Zhizi about the news. After hearing this, Mei Mu Zhizi frowned and said, "What are the anti-Japanese elements doing? How could they find people in this way? It's too strange."

"I don't know, but it's definitely something abnormal."

"Could it be some conspiracy to lure us into the trap?" Mei Mu's first reaction was this.

Song Shutang thought there was nothing wrong. He said: "What you said makes sense, but I have arranged for Yan Feng to go secretly to inquire about it. Whether it is a conspiracy or not, let's grasp it first."

Mei Muzhizi thinks there is no problem. After all, whether it is a conspiracy or not, you need to have more clues to make a more accurate judgment.

At the same time, Song Shutang said: "I plan to go back and report this matter to the director. It is indeed a bit strange inside and out."

The organization released the news to let Song Shutang know.

Just so that he could talk to Wan Liang and others.

To judge their attitude and thus judge the truth of this matter.

Mei Muzhizi felt that he should report it, after all, it was too abnormal.

Mei Mu Zhizi was born in latent intelligence work, and she had never encountered such a situation.

Song Shutang said: "Let's go there together."

"it is good."

After telling Cao Xinrong to take charge of the work in the division, Song Shutang took Mei Mu Zhizi back to the headquarters, found Wan Liang and Song Shutang began to report.

"Director, the division received a very strange piece of information today."

"Strange?" Wan Liang was also curious.

"Someone is snooping inside the subdivision..."

When Song Shutang finished speaking, Wan Liang nodded and said, "It's indeed a bit strange."

"Yes, we judge that the person being sought should be an anti-Japanese element, but we cannot understand when an anti-Japanese organization would use such a method to find someone."

"If you think about it carefully, there are many doubts."

"So my subordinates think it could be a conspiracy against the partition?" Song Shutang started to think about it from his own perspective.

It is believed that this is a conspiracy to deliberately let the partition know and thereby target the partition.

But Wan Liang said: "Probably not."

"How does the director know?"

"Because there is such news outside the concession today." In fact, Wan Liang has already received the report from the people below. After all, news outside the concession comes faster.
