Chapter 225 First Action

In the evening, Hongqiao entrance.

As the hands on the clock tower reached half past five, the rush hour after get off work began.

It is winter, and the north wind is howling and the cold wind is howling in Shanghai Beach. Pedestrians on the street are wrapped in thick winter coats.

At an intersection on Sichuan North Road, under the signboard of "Daily Daily", newspaper members who had finished their day's work said a brief farewell at the door and then went home.

The steps are hurried.

Many rickshaw drivers who had been waiting at the door of the newspaper office for a long time quickly rang their bells to greet these people.

They had already taken down the hoods on the rickshaws, and many people even put on thicker tarpaulins to better shield them from the cold wind.

People who can write these days are not very short of money, and these people are usually quite generous and have few things to do.

They are good customers for rickshaw drivers.

Many people dressed as editors and reporters just got on the rickshaw.

There were even people chatting familiarly with the rickshaw driver.

For newspapers, it is very important to be well-informed, so they will also pay attention to these rickshaw drivers who travel through the streets.

"Editor He, aren't you going to take the bus today?"

On the roadside, a rickshaw followed a middle-aged man who had just come out of a newspaper office.

"I'm going to the market today to buy some rice and noodles. It's more convenient to take the tram instead of taking your car."

"Well, editor He, you may have good luck and long life."

The rickshaw driver said a few auspicious words with some disappointment, then turned around to look for the next customer.

Editor He Daoping and He walked all the way to the tram stop and waited in the cold wind for a long time before a tram arrived.

It’s just that during this rush hour after get off work, I want to squeeze into the tram that has the reputation of “charging into battle”.

It's not something ordinary people can do.

In particular, He Daoping seems to be a gentle man.

I saw that the tram had not yet stopped, and the passengers who had been waiting for a long time at the station were already using their hands and feet to get into the overcrowded carriage through the windows and back doors like loaches.

He Daoping, who was standing at the front door waiting for the tram to stop and open the door, was almost knocked to the ground by a person who was eager to get on the bus.

If he hadn't reached out and grabbed the other person's clothes, he might have fallen hard.

"You, you."

"What's wrong with me?"

Looking at the other party's fierce expression and the knife exposed under the clothes, He Daoping finally let go of the other party's clothes.

But after such a delay, the tram has turned into a sardine can, and there is no room for anyone else.

"Hmph! What a bad luck!"

After the man cursed at He Daoping, he wrapped his clothes tightly and walked out of the tram station with a frown.

It would take a long time for the next tram to come, but looking at this man, he seemed to be ready to walk back on two legs.

He Daoping on the other side also left the tram station with a disappointed look on his face, and happened to meet the rickshaw driver just now.

After getting on the rickshaw, He Daoping complained and told the rickshaw driver what had just happened, sighing that these people nowadays are really incompetent.

While the rickshaw driver was comforting He Daoping, he was grateful to the murderer just now.

Otherwise, why would He Daoping come back and take his rickshaw?

Neither the rickshaw driver pulling the rickshaw nor He Daoping chattering in the hood of the rickshaw noticed the two figures dotting the distance behind them.

The words are divided into two parts.

Opposite the "Daily News Agency", there is a Fushun Hotel.

At this moment, in a room on the second floor of the hotel, Lu Feng and Zheng Yaoxian were sitting at the window.

Through the window in front of me, I can just observe the entrance of "Daily News Agency" and the tram stop not far away.

The concubine pushed the door in from outside the room.

"Ding San has confirmed that the information has been handed over to this person.

Teacher, what should I do next? Should we take a long-term approach to catch big fish, or catch people directly? "

Hearing this, Zheng Yao glanced at Lu Feng calmly.

Then, he said to the concubine: "Arrest the person. We don't have many manpower now. If we release the line, the person may be detached."

"Yes."

The concubine nodded and went out again.

When there were only two people left in the room, Zheng Yaoxian couldn't help but ask:

"How did you know that he had information to send out today?"

The "Daily Newspaper" can be regarded as a spy den marked by Shanghai Station, because this newspaper often publishes various remarks advocating Japan.

Even their funds are provided by the Japanese Military Ministry, specifically serving as the mouthpiece of the pro-Japanese faction.

As early as Chen Moqun's time, they had sent people to monitor this place.

It's just that because "Ridai News" is located in Hongqiaokou, it belongs to the Japanese sphere of influence.

In addition, the activities of "Daily News Agency" are semi-public, and many times you even know that his reports are conveying news.

But without the corresponding decoding means, you can't get the information they want to convey.

It cannot be used as evidence that they participated in espionage activities.

Unless you can catch them on the spot and pass on the information, the evidence is ironclad.

This made Shanghai Station finally give up this thankless move and withdraw its surveillance here.

But today, Lu Feng suddenly asked Zheng Yaoxian, in the name of captain, to lead the members of the special agent brigade to arrange an operation against the "Daily News Agency".

In the first operation of the special agent brigade, the orders came so hastily, which made Zheng Yaoxian a little hard to understand.

However, the other party actually conducted an intelligence handover as Lu Feng said.

If it weren't for the orders from the superiors of the Red Party, Zheng Yaoxian would have thought that this was a trap designed by Lu Feng and the Japanese.

Facing Zheng Yaoxian's question, Lu Feng smiled and said:

"Brother Six, please don't delve into this issue. I naturally have my own channels."

Lu Feng naturally couldn't tell Zheng Yaoxian that he had been outside the Japanese consulate in the past two days and listened to the wall for several nights before he heard such valuable information, right?

With Lu Feng's attitude like this, Zheng Yaoxian stopped asking further.

Although he is nominally the captain of the special agent brigade, according to the orders of the Red Party, Lu Feng is his superior.

The Red Party is always the best at resolutely executing orders.

"I'm going to take a look at the arrest scene to avoid any mistakes."

With that said, Zheng Yaoxian left.

Lu Feng, on the other hand, sat in his original position and continued to look at the "Daily Daily News" across the street.

He couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

In history books, the Xi'an Incident is marked as the beginning of the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

However, in fact, the principal began to regret it after returning to the capital.

It's just that because of his face and the will of the people, he can't directly overturn the promise he made in Xi'an.

So he chose the word "drag".

Regarding the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the joint resistance against Japan, the principal has postponed it until August.

Even when the "July 7th Incident" occurred, the principal was still imagining that Japan would punish the Japanese generals who caused the trouble.

It was not until the Battle of Songhu was about to begin that the principal, who had completely given up, reluctantly issued a speech declaring war on Japan and formally recognized the status and organization of the Eighth Route Army.

And the whole country, because of the delays and illusions of the President, missed the precious preparation time before the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance.

Many troops were hastily thrown into the battlefield of Songhu Battle without preparation, and suffered heavy losses.

Because of this, the early stage of the all-out war was so difficult.

If the principal could have declared war earlier, why would Lu Feng attack the Japanese in Shanghai like he did now? He would have to follow the method of catching spies.

Hands tied.
