Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 230 Intelligence and Speculation

After comprehensive consideration, Yang Xuewu decided to pass the news to Gong Xue's superior, Old Fox.

The old fox serves as a link between the three of them. He can pass the news on to him, to the boatman, and to Gong Xue.

If it were given to Gong Xue, Gong Xue would have a small chance of guessing his identity. Although this probability was negligible, it was still possible. Yang Xuewu did not want to take the risk of exposing his identity.

It is even more unrealistic to give it to the boatman. The boatman is probably the person in charge of the Shanghai Underground Party. His identity and safety are very important. If someone knows his identity, it is likely to attract great attention from the Red Party. This is not what Yang Xuewu thought. See the situation.

So taking all things into consideration, it is most appropriate to pass the news to the old fox.

The next morning, Yang Xuewu changed his appearance and appeared near the old fox's tailor shop.

It was impossible for Yang Xuewu to personally give the news to the old fox. He needed other people to help him complete this matter.

At this moment, Yang Xuewu saw a child playing with sandbags on the road. Yang Xuewu waved to him. The child was not afraid of strangers and came directly to Yang Xuewu.

"Big brother, what did you ask me to do?" the child asked in childish words.

"Xiao Ming is so smart. Big brother wants Xiao Ming to help with something. Is Xiao Ming willing to help big brother?"

"Brother, what do you want me to give Uncle Wang?"

"Okay, big brother, I will send it to you right now." Xiao Ming took the note from Yang Xuewu and ran towards the tailor shop with his short legs.

Looking at the cute and smart child, Yang Xuewu smiled, turned and left, but he did not go far, but hid in a nearby place where he could hide people.

"I know you. It's Uncle Wang who makes the clothes. He even gave me candy."

"Uncle Wang, right there. Hey, why is the big brother missing?" Xiao Ming touched his head and asked in confusion.

Hearing this, the old fox was startled and asked: "Xiao Ming, who is that big brother?"

"Xiao Ming, just give this note to Uncle Wang."

Hearing this, Xiao Ming shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang, my elder brother gave me candy just now."

"Uncle Wang, it's just outside. I'll take you there." After saying that, Xiao Ming went out first, and the old fox quickly followed behind.

"Xiao Ming, where is the big brother who gave you the note?" the old fox asked anxiously.

Hearing this, the old fox took the note with confusion. After seeing the contents clearly, the old fox was shocked.

"My name is Li Ming, and my parents call me Xiao Ming." Xiao Ming replied obediently.

Xiao Ming replied: "I don't know that big brother, but he asked me to give you this note."

Xiao Ming's eyes shone when he saw the candy. Then Yang Xuewu gave the candy to Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming quickly took it.

On the other side, Xiao Ming ran into the tailor shop, and the old fox asked with a smile: "Xiao Ming, why are you here at Uncle Wang's place? Do you want to eat sweets?"

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu smiled, touched the child's head and asked, "What's your name, kid?"

"Brother, how can I help you?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Xiao Ming, do you know the uncle from that tailor shop?" Yang Xuewu asked Xiao Ming, pointing to the tailor shop.

"Xiao Ming, if you help big brother give something to Uncle Wang, big brother will also give you candy." Yang Xuewu took out two pieces of candy from the space and stretched out his hand to show it in front of Xiao Ming's eyes.

Looking along where Xiao Ming pointed, the old fox knew that the person who gave Xiao Ming this note must not want to see him, otherwise he would not let Xiao Ming deliver this note.

"Uncle Wang, eldest brother may be gone." Xiao Ming guessed when he saw Yang Xuewu disappear.

Hearing this, the old fox forced a smile and said, "Xiao Ming, go home quickly, or your parents will be anxious later."

"Okay, then I'm leaving, Uncle Wang." After saying that, Xiao Ming jumped towards home, looking very happy.

Watching Xiao Ming leave, the old fox quickly entered the tailor shop, hung the temporary closure sign at the door, then closed the door and read the note Xiao Ming gave him carefully.

"The drunkard has rebelled and has been eliminated. The secret code for the connection between the drunkard and the painter has been exposed. I hope everyone will know."

Although there was only one short line of words on the note, this line of words made the old fox feel uncomfortable. It was really the words on the note that were too difficult for him to accept.

He could not imagine that a drunkard would rebel, let alone why someone would know the news and tell him the news.

At this time, he had too many questions in his heart. Who was the person who sent him the message? Has he been exposed? Could this be a conspiracy by the little devil?

But the old fox had a vague intuition in his heart. He felt that this information might be true, and he had evidence.

Because the information on this note was not written with a pen, but cut and pasted from newspaper words, he felt that if this was the conspiracy of the little devil, the little devil would definitely not make it so troublesome.

But if this wasn't the kid's conspiracy, then who would be the one who conveyed the news to him? You must know that the drunkard was captured by the Japanese. Who has so much energy and can obtain such important information.

"Is it a comrade from our party who has infiltrated the Japanese?" the old fox guessed, and then he shook his head. Drunkards are top secrets to the Japanese. Such important information, the old fox thinks that our party comrades have not been able to find out.

Of course, this was just his guess. If the comrades who had penetrated the Japanese had great powers, it might be possible to obtain such important information. Of course, he felt that this possibility was very small.

Then he thought again, why did the person who sent the information come to him? Did "that comrade" know him?

The old fox was in a mess. He felt that today's matter was full of all kinds of mysteries, and all the mysteries were unsolvable for him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, he felt that he should report the matter to the boatman as soon as possible and let the boatman make a judgment. There were some situations in Shanghai that he didn't know about, and the boatman might know who had delivered the news to him.

However, the old fox did not act in a hurry. He took down the sign at the door saying that business was temporarily closed and continued to operate. If this was the plot of the little devil, then someone must be watching him. He can't reveal his lies now, even if he wants to report to the boatman. , but also to ensure absolute safety before going.

His safety is not important, but the boatman is different. If the boatman's identity is exposed, it will be an absolutely devastating blow to the Shanghai underground party. The old fox does not want to bring danger to the boatman because of his negligence.

Time passed slowly, and it was getting late in the blink of an eye. The old fox closed the door as usual and returned to his residence. Along the way, he used anti-tracking skills many times and made many circles. As an old agent, he felt that he Not being followed. But the old fox had no idea that his actions might work against other agents, but they had no effect on Yang Xuewu.

After going home and having a meal, the old fox still resisted taking any action. Although he wanted to report to the boatman as soon as possible and was confident that no one was following him, he was still cautious. The boatman's safety was too important and he did not dare to do anything. careless.

When the time came to 10 o'clock in the evening, the old fox carefully went out and walked around several times. When he felt that no one was following him, he came to the boatman's residence again and knocked on the door.

The boatman was startled when he heard the knock on the door. He did not expect that a comrade would come to see him so late. The reason why he judged that it was his comrade who knocked on the door was because the rhythm of the knock on the door was agreed upon by him and his comrades.

As the head of the Shanghai Underground Party, the boatman knew that if a comrade came to see him so late, something big must have happened, so he did not dare to delay and hurriedly got dressed and opened the door.

When he opened the door and saw the old fox, the boatman couldn't help but frowned. He didn't expect the old fox to come to him.

After entering the house, the boatman frowned and asked: "Old fox, didn't I tell you not to come to me as much as possible? Why are you here again?"

Hearing this, the old fox smiled bitterly and said, "Boatman, if it weren't for something urgent, I wouldn't come to you."

"What's the emergency?" asked the boatman.

"Take a look at this." The old fox took out a note from his pocket and handed it to the boatman.

The boatman took the note and looked at it doubtfully, then asked with a solemn expression: "Old fox, who gave you this note?"

Hearing this, the old fox shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"You don't know?" the boatman frowned.

"Yes, that's what happened..." Then the old fox told the boatman exactly what happened this morning.

After listening to the old fox's words, the boatman's brows furrowed into the character "Chuan". This thing was really weird.

"Old fox, who do you think is the person who sent you the information?" the boatman asked.

Hearing this, the old fox thought for a moment and replied: "At first I thought it was a conspiracy of the little devils, but after thinking about it, I didn't think it was the case. Later I wondered if it was our comrades, but I felt that this possibility was unlikely. ”

"But I don't know the situation of some comrades, so I want to ask you if you can determine the identity of this person."

Hearing this, the boatman shook his head and said: "I can't tell you the identity of our lurking comrades, but I can tell you clearly that our lurking comrades have no access to this top-secret information."

"And there's something you may not know. We sacrificed a comrade in the hospital last night. He went to the hospital to find out about the drunkard."

"What!" the old fox said in surprise, and then his face showed sadness. He did not expect that a comrade would die in the hospital last night.

"But it's not over yet. Soon after our comrade died, gunshots were heard again in the hospital, and then the kid was searching the area like a madman. If the information on the note you brought is true, then the drunkard should be He killed him, otherwise he wouldn't know the code name "Painter"," the boatman said slowly.

The old fox was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that so many things would happen last night, and things seemed to be getting more and more complicated, with more and more doubts.

"Boatman, what should we do next?" the old fox asked.

Hearing this, the boatman shook his head and said: "We can't do anything. The current situation is like a layer of fog, and I can't see clearly."

"But there is nothing we can do. According to this information, the communication code between the drunkard and the painter has been exposed. Now we can only wait. If the communication code between the drunkard and the painter appears, it will mean that the drunkard has rebelled, and it will also prove that The information you brought is true."

Hearing this, the old fox thought for a moment and nodded. They had no source of intelligence from high-level Japanese people, so they could only wait passively and then verify the authenticity of the intelligence.

Then the old fox thought for a moment and asked: "Boatman, do you have any opinion on the person who sent me the information?"

"My guess is similar to yours. There are three situations in total for this person's identity. The first is one of our own comrades, but this comrade is in charge of the headquarters and is not under our control. The headquarters may tell him your identity. , and ask him to contact you in case of emergency, and if that's the case, all is well.

The second type is the enemy. If this is the case, then things will develop in the worst direction, and our Shanghai underground party will be in danger of overthrowing.

The third type is neither our comrade nor enemy, but an outsider. "

"An outsider?" the old fox asked in surprise.

"Yes, actually this is easy to explain, because he doesn't want to reveal his identity. Whether he asks a child to send information on his behalf, or writes information with words cut out from newspapers, it shows that he doesn't want us to know his identity."

"If it's our comrade or enemy, I don't think he needs to use such a cumbersome way to pass on information."

"Of course, all this is my guess. I'm afraid only the person who sent you the information knows the specific situation."

Hearing this, the old fox smiled and said: "Boatman, although I don't know the identity of that person yet, I have an intuition that the person who sent me the information is not an enemy. If that person is not an enemy, if we contact him ,That……."

The old fox didn't say what he said clearly, but the boatman understood what he meant.

Hearing this, the boatman shook his head and said, "This is unlikely. If he doesn't reveal his identity, we won't be able to contact him at all."

"Okay, let's not discuss this for now. You go back and tell the painter the situation. Although we are not sure yet whether the drunkard has rebelled, we must prepare for the worst."

"Boatman, I understand." The old fox nodded.

"Old fox, this matter is classified as top secret. Don't disclose it to anyone except the painter. I will report it to the organization and see how the organization directs it, and then deal with it."

"Okay, I will keep it a secret."

……

Seeing the old fox leaving, Yang Xuewu, who had been staring at the old fox for a day, also left quietly. That was all he could do to help the Red Party, and the Red Party needed to handle the rest.

After the old fox left, the boatman didn't sleep all night. In fact, the sudden information shocked him greatly. He wanted to know the identity of the person who sent the information more than the old fox.

He is the person in charge of the underground organization of the Red Party in Shanghai. Only he knows best how difficult it is for the underground organization of the Red Party in Shanghai. If he can really contact the person who sent the information and recruit him to join the Red Party, what will happen to the underground organization in Shanghai? Development will play a big role.

Based on what happened in the hospital last night and the information brought by the old fox, it shows that that person has extremely high combat capabilities and intelligence gathering capabilities. If such talents can be absorbed, their impact on the organization will be immeasurable.
