The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 450: Viewing the Scenery

Tony Kaiziwei's meaning was very clear. He hoped that he would reveal this news to the Military Control Commission so that they would be alert and not be fooled again.

If the Military Control Commission were to take over too quickly, it would not necessarily be a good thing for the concession. It would be best to watch the two sides fight back and forth.

Tony Kaiziwei wanted to sit on the city gate tower and enjoy the scenery.

Cheng Mo can send the message out.

But it is hard to say what the content of this message contains.

Akagi Shinyuki attached great importance to the confidentiality of this case. Even the criminal was not detained in the detention center of the police station, but was detained in the Japanese military police special high section in Broadway.

That is a place that Chinese people cannot enter, let alone infiltrate. And can we guarantee that Akagi Shinyuki will report the true situation to the top leaders of the Municipal Council?
He only needs to do a little bit of manipulation, and even if he finds out that he has been misled in the end, you won't be able to blame him.

……

"Fourth brother, this is all I know. Please report this to the higher-ups right away." Cheng Mo then drove to the tea shop to meet Xu Baichuan.

"You can also send a telegram directly to the bureau headquarters yourself?"

"I can, but now is not the time to contact you. Besides, if I send it, you have to send it too, and the way we send it will be different." Cheng Mo reminded.

"After this incident, I wonder what the arrested guy was thinking. This was obviously a trap, but he still fell into it!" Xu Baichuan shouted angrily, feeling a little disappointed.

"I don't know the situation of the interrogation now. Maybe he has his own difficulties." Cheng Mo was also very surprised. If it was a newcomer who was eager to make a contribution, it was possible, but if it was an old man, it was indeed not right.

"From the current situation, that guy probably couldn't stand the Japanese torture and confessed some things..."

"Well, it should be, otherwise Akagi Shinjiro would not have reported to the top leaders of the Municipal Council and asked for credit." Cheng Mo nodded.

Xu Baichuan sighed: "I don't know how much this kid knows, this is the most troublesome thing."

"This is no longer something we can control. Mr. Tony obviously doesn't want Akagi Shinyuki to solve the case. By then, whenever such cases happen in the concession, he will be able to intervene." Cheng Mo said.

Xu Baichuan asked: "Then why was he allowed to lead the investigation of this case this time?"

"I guess it was Zhang Xiaolin who did it behind the scenes. Besides Yu Yefeng, Zhang Xiaolin was also watching the show on stage that night. The place where Yu Yefeng was shot was near Zhang Xiaolin's box, but Zhang Xiaolin was not there. He was called back not long after the show started." Cheng Mo said.

"So, the assassination attempt was actually aimed at Zhang Xiaolin, and Yu Yefeng took the blame for him?"

"I don't know the specific situation. I analyzed it based on the situation at the scene. Besides, Yu Yefeng is also a traitor. Killing him means killing him. It will also help Shanghai get rid of a scourge." Cheng Mo said.

"You and I think so, but others don't." Xu Baichuan said, "With Zhang Xiaolin's current relationship with the Japanese, he can indeed put pressure on the Municipal Council and let the Japanese take the lead in the investigation of this case. This also gives Akagi Shinji an opportunity."

"No one else can be arrested. Those who may be exposed must be evacuated immediately." Cheng Mo nodded.

"If this guy really confessed, I'm afraid it's too late to evacuate now. The Japanese didn't arrest him even though they had the confession. They must be trying to follow the clues to find out who was responsible."

"Well, we don't know how much they know, and that's the most troublesome thing."

"Isn't Dark Fire directly connected to Shanghai District 1?"

"Because of Wan Lilang's betrayal, I directly applied to cut off the horizontal connection with Shanghai District 1." Cheng Mo explained, "Now even if I take the initiative to contact them, I may not be able to get in touch with them."

"So you are completely in the dark now and know nothing?" Xu Baichuan asked in surprise.

"Wan Lilang knows Zheng Xiuyuan from Shanghai District 1, and Zheng Xiuyuan is the liaison between us. He was almost arrested because of Wan Lilang. I don't dare to take the risk, you know." Cheng Mo said.

Xu Baichuan nodded, considering the problem from Cheng Mo's perspective. It was not wrong to take the initiative to cut off contact. After all, the importance of "Dark Fire" was self-evident. Once the connection was exposed, the loss would be immeasurable. "I will report what you said immediately."

"Thank you, fourth brother."

"How can we, as one family, start talking about different things?"

……

Even without the warning, Shanghai District 1 should have been on guard. After the man was arrested, he probably didn't speak immediately, which gave the Military Control Commission's Shanghai District 1 time to react. It is estimated that the people related to this man either moved or remained silent.

Unless it is necessary, I will not show up at this time.

But we still need to remind you, because who knows what bad things Akagi Shinyuki is planning.

However, what is certain is that he must have been involved in the arrest at Wan Xiangyuyuan. This guy is very good at "praising to death".

If he really wanted to "surrender to Japan", he would naturally not care about this. But if he did this on purpose and led the Military Control Commission to misunderstand him, this would be a disguised way of forcing him to "surrender to Japan".

This kind of tactic was a common practice in No. 76. Some members who had not yet rebelled were misunderstood after No. 76's propaganda. At the critical moment of life and death, many of them went along with it.

This method is very useful for those with weak wills, and there are countless people with weak wills in this world.

After this, he not only had to deal with the Japanese's schemes, but also the open and covert attacks from his own people, and the situation became complicated.

Even if Chen Gongshu knew his identity, he would not tell it voluntarily. Moreover, the action teams under the Shanghai District 1 have considerable freedom of action.

In many cases, when carrying out a mission, the team leaders below will not report to their superiors. At most, they will write a summary report and submit it when it is time to reward their merits afterwards.

Many things did not leave any written records in the end.

This is behind enemy lines, and many times we cannot apply the same rules as at home. If there is no freedom of movement, no one will do this job.

There are many things that Cheng Mo will not report. If he reports every detail, there will not be enough time for each contact. He can only pick out the most important things, and the text must be very concise, and every word must be carefully considered before sending it back.

It was to avoid radio detection by the Japanese invaders.

……

As Cheng Mo analyzed, the Second Action Team of Shanghai District 1 did adopt a policy of silence and relocation after Ou Xiaonian was arrested. Those who should be abandoned were abandoned, especially those who had contact with Ou Xiaonian and were likely to be exposed. They were all transferred to the French Concession or the countryside.

The Second Action Brigade transferred more than half of its personnel.

Even Captain Chen Mo himself left the pharmacy, entered the French Concession, found Wan Molin directly, and hid in the Du Mansion.

Although the Second Action Brigade killed Yu Yefeng, they also suffered heavy losses. In addition to the arrest of Qu Xiaonian, the arsenal he was in charge of was also taken away.

Although the Second Battalion did not put all its eggs in one basket, the arsenal kept by Ou Xiaonian was the largest and had the most weapons and equipment.

In addition, there were losses in personnel, not casualties, but these people could no longer continue to operate and function in the concession.

This requires mobilizing manpower from the rear, and it will take at least two or three months to go from unfamiliar to familiar. It is not easy to build a skilled team.

The Second Action Brigade will not be able to carry out any missions for at least two months, and can only watch other action brigades achieve success.
