My spy diary

Chapter 303 Address (asking for monthly ticket)

Du Baishan went to Wang Tianlin with great concern.

After graduating from university, he and Liu Geqing and nine other people wanted to register and start a mining company in order to save the country through industry.

Who would have thought that when Liu Geqing was trying to smooth things over with Yang Hu, an old acquaintance he made when his father was a brigade commander and the then Shanghai Garrison Commander, he was spotted by Dai Chunfeng, who happened to be visiting Yang Hu's home and invited him to join the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Police Officers Training Class.

Not only Liu Geqing, but the other eight people were also "caught in one fell swoop."

In this way, his destiny was completely changed, from a future businessman to a spy.

After graduating from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Police College, Du Baishan was assigned to the Shanghai District Field Operations Team.

Since his hometown is in the countryside, his parents are ordinary farmers with a simple appearance. In addition, he has a rustic appearance and an introverted personality. Even though he has read a lot of books, being an agent requires killing skills. He can't always talk about his knowledge or put it on his face. Therefore, compared with the extroverted, heroic and chivalrous Liu Geqing, Du Baishan's work can only be described as mediocre.

But there is a saying:
When God closes a door, he often opens another window at the same time.

The honest Du Baishan was favored by Wang Tianlin's eldest daughter Wang Kangyi at first sight, and then captured the heart of Mrs. Wang. They quickly fell in love and got married, and had a happy marriage, which became a legend in the Shanghai circle for a while.

Logically speaking, since Du Baishan has a father-in-law who is a district head, it would be no problem for him to rise to a high position in the society.

But just a period of time passed and the situation suddenly changed.

First, my father-in-law Wang Tianlin inexplicably went on a one-day trip to "No. 76", and then rumors spread that Wang Tianlin was secretly a traitor.

Du Baishan was half-believing and half-doubting, and wanted to find Wang Tianlin to test the waters, but his father-in-law didn't like him, so he naturally didn't dare to go to him and bring bad luck upon himself.

But at this moment, he was threatened by Zhang Yi and had no choice but to go there.

"Dad, someone asked me to pass this letter to you. It says it's from Boss Dai."

Wang Tianlin's heart sank, he looked at him coldly and asked, "Who sent the letter?"

"I don't know him. He just said he was from Shancheng."

Wang Tianlin hesitated for a moment and waved his hand: "I understand, you can go back."

Du Baishan did not leave, but asked hesitantly:
"Dad, you really are..."

He didn't dare to ask the following question, he couldn't just say:

Dad, are you going to become a traitor?
Wang Tianlin glanced at him sideways and waved his hand expressionlessly:
"Go back."

Du Baishan was a little disappointed because he couldn't see any clues on his father-in-law's face.

"Dad, that person told you to take care of yourself.

In my opinion, you might as well take the initiative to admit your mistake to Mr. Dai, and everything will be fine."

"childish!"

Wang Tianlin secretly cursed his son-in-law for being childish and incompetent. He didn't know why his daughter was so blind as to fall in love with such a thing. Didn't he know who Dai Chunfeng was?
At this point, it's either life or death, and it's too late to turn back.

He opened the letter expressionlessly.

"If you surrender to the enemy alone, or if it is just a temporary mistake, it can still be forgiven. But if you dare to join the rebellion and sell out your group, and willingly follow the enemy, then you will be determined by the people.

What happened before has violated military orders and family rules, and should have been punished according to group discipline, but considering our friendship over the years, I hope you will make amends for your crime and work for me. Now is the time! I hope you will not let me down."

"What you say is better than what you sing."

Wang Tianlin sneered in his heart. On the one hand, he asked himself to be sent to No. 76 to redeem himself, but on the other hand, he issued an order to punish himself. What a Dai Yunong!

"Stop." Du Baishan was about to leave when Wang Tianlin, who had just finished reading the letter, called him back.

"Dad?" Du Baishan, thinking that Wang Tianlin had come to his senses, looked at him expectantly.

The result did not disappoint him. Wang Tianlin said seriously:
"Go back and tell the person who came that I am willing to serve as Boss Dai's spy, lurking in the pseudo-agent headquarters and passing on information for the Military Control Commission."

"Great, I'll go back right away." Du Baishan believed it, said with a smile, and ran away.

Looking at his leaving back, Wang Tianlin sneered a few times with a gloomy face.

Du Baishan had just left when Chen Mingchu arrived.

Seeing his frustrated look, Wang Tianlin knew that the trapping plan had failed.

"District Chief, Lin Zhijiang has been waiting there for a long time, but the other party has not shown up at all."

"As expected." Wang Tianlin realized it when he got the letter from Du Baishan.

Chen Mingchu speculated, "This guy is too cunning. Did someone leak the news? Should we call the witnesses and find this guy?"

Wang Tianlin shook his head: "He must have hidden himself a long time ago."

Chen Mingchu frowned and looked at him, asking, "What should we do then?"

Wang Tianlin remained silent.

After a long time, just when Chen Mingchu could no longer bear it, Wang Tianlin's voice sounded again:

"The arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Sometimes when it is time to be decisive, you must not be soft-handed. I have no choice."

Chen Mingchu was stunned. What did this mean?
What does Wang Tianlin want to do?

Just as he was about to ask, he saw Wang Tianlin turn his head and look upstairs, shouting:
"Cicada green."

After a while, a beautiful figure appeared at the stairs on the second floor. She was in her early twenties and it was Wang Tianlin's youngest daughter, Wang Yinzi.

"Father, what's wrong?"

"How come you, a girl, stay at home all day and don't go out for a walk?"

"Dad, didn't you tell me not to go out? Besides, it's so chaotic, where can I go?"

"You can't be so depressed."

Wang Tianlin changed the subject and asked, "Did you know that Wang Luqiao has also come to Shanghai? Has he contacted you?"

"He called me."

"He still has some conscience, unlike Dai Zangyi, who is so slick and smooth-talking."

"Dad, what are you talking about? Lu Qiao is not him." Wang Yinzi said shyly.

"Okay, I've always been open-minded and won't interfere in your relationship. It's fine as long as he treats you well." Wang Tianlin looked at his daughter lovingly and waved his hand.

"Got it." Wang Yinzi responded casually, nodded to Chen Mingchu, then turned around and went back to the room.

Now Chen Mingchu finally understood what Wang Tianlin meant by "When it is time to be decisive, you must not be soft-handed."
Since he couldn't catch Zhang Yi, he was eager to make a contribution and set his sights on Wang Luqiao.

Isn't this too cruel?

He is your future son-in-law.

Chen Mingchu wanted to say something, but didn't say it.

It's like the pot calling the kettle black. Since you have become a traitor, you have no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. Not to mention your future son-in-law, even your son-in-law can betray you if you are pushed to the limit.

But Wang Tianlin's ruthlessness still made him shudder.

With Wang Tianlin's encouragement, Wang Yinzi dressed up beautifully and went out in a short while.

Needless to say, he went to find Wang Luqiao.

As soon as his daughter left, Wang Tianlin, who had been relaxing on the sofa, suddenly stood up and stared at Chen Mingchu, saying expressionlessly:
"You don't need me to teach you what to do, right?"

Chen Mingchu took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, District Chief, I will notify them to take action immediately. As long as Wang Luqiao shows up, he won't be able to escape."

Wang Tianlin said nothing and waved his hand with a gloomy face.

What is Wang Luqiao doing now? He is playing mahjong.

Several mahjong friends at the same table included Mao Qianli, who had arrived in Shanghai in advance to serve as the "Chief Inspector", Bai Shengzu, the accountant of Shanghai District, and Chen Gongshu's wife.

Mao Qianli served as the chief inspector of the Shanghai District. His main job was to continue hunting down Wang Tianhai, but he was not actually responsible for monitoring the work of the Shanghai District.

Therefore, he was not allowed to have any horizontal contact with the Shanghai District. Privately meeting with Shanghai District accountant Bai Shengzu was obviously a violation of discipline, but several people apparently did not take it seriously.

Let’s talk about Chen Gongshu’s wife. She was brought to Shanghai by Mao Qianli.

Mao Qianli was born in 1903. He was 29 years old when he applied for the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Police College. He was afraid of failing the exam, so he wrote a letter to Dai Chunfeng in the hotel.

What is this, "I have heard of your name for a long time and admire you very much. Now I am applying for the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Police Academy with my fellow townsmen. Before I leave, my brother Mao Qiwu gave me some advice."

While pointing out his own footsteps, he also expressed his determination to follow Mr. Dai in achieving great things.

When Dai Chunfeng saw the name "Mao Shangao" on the letter, he thought of his classmate and good friend Mao Qiwu's surname "Mao Shanyu" and concluded that the two were related.

After reading the letter, he found out that the two were indeed brothers from the same clan, so he immediately sent someone to find him.

Since he was too old, but had attended middle school and had done clerical work, and the situation was such that people were needed, he was immediately sent directly to work in the Secret Service.

He first served as a second lieutenant secretary of the special training class of the Honggongci General Staff Headquarters, and was soon promoted to confidential secretary of Room A. Later, he was sent to the Beiping District to serve as district secretary and acting district chief.

Therefore, he and Chen Gongshu were familiar with each other, and they had similar interests and a close relationship.

This person was also a bold and reckless guy, especially after he was transferred back to the headquarters, his cousin Mao Qiwu had become the acting chief secretary. He felt that he had "connections in the court" and became even more unscrupulous, and was very dissatisfied with the assigned position.

In anger, Dai Chunfeng demoted him to the position of chief secretary of the Shancheng Inspection Office.

This time he was reinstated, so he felt very sympathetic towards "Brother Gongshu" who was still sitting on the bench in Shancheng. At the request of Chen Gongshu, he brought his wife to Shanghai.

At this moment, several people were having a great time playing mahjong when suddenly the phone rang.

Wang Luqiao was right next to him and picked up the phone. It was his girlfriend Wang Yinzi calling, asking him to go shopping.

Wang Luqiao naturally agreed readily.

Seeing that Wang Luqiao was about to leave, several people objected.

Mao Qianli said: "No, Wang Tianlin's relationship with No. 76 is unclear, and his behavior is suspicious. It is best not to contact him rashly before confirming his true intentions."

Wang Luqiao disagrees:
"He is him, and Yin Zi is Yin Zi. Even if Wang Tianlin falls into the water, Yin Zi will not betray me."

“You can’t say that. Even if Wang Yinzi won’t reveal your whereabouts, what if Wang Tianlin sends someone to follow you?

Lu Qiao, you have to think carefully. This not only concerns your personal safety, but also affects the safety of the organization."

Wang Luqiao was getting impatient: "I'm just going to see my girlfriend, not to kill anyone, why are you making it sound so serious? Okay, I'll be back soon."

Seeing Wang Luqiao's firm attitude, Mao Qianli and others stopped trying to persuade him and could only tell him to go and come back quickly.

As a result, he never came back.

Wang Luqiao happily met his girlfriend and went shopping with her.

But soon he discovered that several plainclothes officers were following him with suspicious behavior.

He did not suspect his girlfriend, but thought that it was true as Mao Qianli and others said, that these people were sent by Wang Tianlin to follow him.

In order not to involve his girlfriend, he immediately ended his shopping trip in a hurry, using the excuse that he had something to do, asked his girlfriend to go back first, and then waited for an opportunity to get rid of the stalker.

But it was too late.

Just as he saw his girlfriend off, two black cars drove over quickly, braked suddenly, and trapped him from the front and back.

Seven or eight men in gray suits jumped out of the car and quickly surrounded him.

As soon as Wang Luqiao took out his gun, seven or eight pistols were pointed at him at the same time.

"Wang Luqiao, I'm sorry."

The person who spoke was the leader of the group, who looked to be about thirty years old, with a sinister look on his face.

He looked at Wang Luqiao with contempt, and suddenly took action with a counter-grapple move to knock down Wang Luqiao's pistol.

"Who are you?"

Hearing the man's poor Chinese, Wang Luqiao realized that he might be a Japanese plainclothes officer. He anxiously thought of a countermeasure, but pretended to be confused on his face.

The sinister man proudly took out his ID and flashed it in front of Wang Luqiao, with an arrogant look on his face:
"Someone reported you as an anti-Japanese element who assassinated Chen Lu, a good friend of the Imperial Japanese Army. Come with us."

Wang Luqiao sneered, "Japanese military police? Sorry, I haven't heard of it. This is the French Concession. Apart from the police station, no one else has the power to enforce the law."

The sinister man looked at him with contempt. In the morning, Li Shijun sent Lin Zhijiang to trap Zhang Yi, but he failed and let such a big fish escape. His boss Jingtian was very dissatisfied with this.

That's why they were sent to assist in this operation.

(After No. 76 was established, the Japanese arranged a Japanese military police corps, whose duty was to assist in arresting people, but in fact, to secretly monitor the traitors of all sizes in No. 76.

Later, as the power of No. 76 grew, the Japanese established a special spy agency in Shanghai, the Mei Agency, which was responsible for leadership and surveillance.
"We, the Imperial Japanese Army, have informed the French authorities and you will be extradited soon."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a group of policemen in black uniforms rushed over aggressively and surrounded them.

Wang Luqiao's heart sank.

What will happen if you are extradited to the Japanese secret service?

Honor and shame, loyalty and betrayal, these heavy words instantly flooded into his mind and he fell silent.

At the same time Wang Luqiao was arrested, Chen Mingchu found Li Shijun again.

With Wang Luqiao being arrested, Wang Tianlin's fall into the water is a fact, and sanctions from the Military Control Commission will come soon.

Wang handed in his "letter of allegiance", and now it is his turn.

The best way to avoid the sanctions of the Military Control Commission is to catch them all in one fell swoop.

And Chen Mingchu just happens to meet this condition.

Although he served as district secretary for a short time, it was enough for him to grasp the secrets of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai District.

Li Shijun seemed to be in a good mood and motioned him to sit down:

"Mingchu, you came at the right time. Wang Tianlin finally came on board our ship willingly. Your contribution is indispensable."

"Director, you are overpraising me. I am here for other matters."

"Oh? Is there any news about Liu Geqing? Or have you found any trace of Zhang Yi?"

"No, but it's more important than that."

As Chen Mingchu spoke, he solemnly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.

"What is this?" Li Shijun looked at the fourteen addresses densely written on the paper with a look of curiosity.

“The office location for all the inside information of the Military Control Commission’s Shanghai Division.”

Although Li Shijun had expectations, he was still surprised and delighted when he heard Chen Mingchu say this.

"Great! With this list, we can capture the entire Shanghai branch of the Military Control Commission in one fell swoop. This way..."

Li Shijun spoke excitedly and waved to Chen Mingchu. Chen understood and moved closer. Their voices gradually became lower.
