Chapter 1027

Zheng Shisong and Li Wanxiu were chatting in the background, while several agents of No. 76 stood aside to "protect", keeping their eyes on the two and other troupe members.

In order to save some face for Zheng Shisong, Wan Lilang, director of No. 76, and Tang Keming, director of intelligence, were not present, but waited outside the door.

Chatted for a while.

Li Wanxiu put the fake beard in his hand on the table, and pressed his right hand on a big red invitation card calmly.

Zheng Shisong, who was talking endlessly about his joy, noticed this scene, glanced at the invitation from the corner of his eye, and immediately saw a time and an address.

The time is the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, the address is located in a small street in the French Concession, and the person who signed it: Cheng He.

What does this mean, is it going to be spliced, or is it?
Zheng Shisong's mind turned quickly, and he quickly ruled out the possibility of joining. Before he was sure that he was reliable, it was impossible for someone from the headquarters to be so reckless.

And No. 76 watched so closely, he had no chance to get rid of the surveillance personnel and go to the meeting, forcibly leaving would only arouse the suspicion of the spies.

Then there is only one possibility left.

People from the headquarters want to use this to convey some information, regardless of the location and time, the key to the information may be the signature.

Cheng He, Chen He.

Chen may be Chen Mingchu, why?
He Xingjian!
Zheng Shisong immediately thought of the first major-general officer in the government to surrender. Chen Mingchu's surrender and his arrest were also inseparable from the other party.

Since He Xingjian led his troops to surrender to the Japanese army, the Zhongli Rescue Army in the Songhu area fell apart, and the morale of the army was slackened, causing extremely bad effects.

For this reason, Dai Chunfeng's nose was so angry that he even ordered the upper district of Shanghai to kill He Xingjian at all costs, so as to make an example of others and stop the unhealthy tendencies of surrendering to the enemy.

If he is a member of the headquarters and does not know whether a certain person is reliable, the best way is to arrange for the other party to perform a dangerous task and accept a certificate of approval.

Based on the current situation, what is more suitable as a nomination certificate than sanctioning He Xingjian and Chen Mingchu. The content of the invitation is the time and place of action.

Zheng Shisong was thoughtful, as long as he could help Shancheng to punish these two, then he could prove his innocence, and his family in Shancheng would be treated fairly.

However, He Xingjian graduated from the second phase of Whampoa and was the favorite student of Boss Du, one of the three tycoons in Shanghai, so it was not so easy to assassinate him.

Like Boss Du, this person is fierce, aggressive, and fierce in fights, and he is resourceful, forbearing, tenacious, and domineering.

Before the war, he was in and out of both black and white, and he was skilled in the business, military, and political circles, and extended his tentacles to finance, industry, news, education, and many other industries.

The only weakness is that he has a widow's disease, and he likes to dance very much.

It seems that if there is a way to bring Chen Mingchu and He Xingjian to that side street at the specified time, or pass through that side street, the rest is up to the headquarters operatives.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shisong's mood suddenly brightened, the smile on his face was a little sincere, and when he finished the conversation, he shook Li Wanxiu's hand and made a pun.

"I am very happy to see Boss Li today. It is a pity that Mr. Zheng has important things to do and can't stay long, so let's just say goodbye."

While speaking, Zheng Shisong's eyes glanced aside. The special agent next to him was only paying attention to the movements of the two men's hands, but did not see his abnormal behavior.

Li Wanxiu felt relieved, and shook hands politely to say goodbye without saying a single extra word.

The military commander who came to visit in the morning had told him that it is good to follow the plan in front of the spies, and not to make up his own mind.

Although he has been acting for most of his life, today's "Exploring the Enemy Camp" still made him terrified, and he almost showed his feet several times.

What he is afraid of is not danger, but the delay of important national affairs, and then death will be unavoidable.

Fortunately, I finally lived up to the trust of the government and the military, and successfully contacted this Mr. Zheng who was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han.

However, according to what the military commander said, they had better go to Hong Kong City or Southeast Asia as soon as possible to avoid the limelight after the incident, so as not to be implicated.

Seeing the back of "Mr. Zheng" going away, Li Wanxiu made up his mind, turned his head and shouted at the troupe members.

"Boys, be quicker with your hands, let's go tonight."

"To order~"

"Good Le~"

The disciples and the other players answered the order in unison, and then laughed, completely unaware that they had just done a big event.

Outside the Golden Theater.

Kuang Fuan watched traitor No. 76 board the car and leave, and immediately led the whole team back to the International Settlement. On the way, he frowned and was a little puzzled.

Today on the 76th, such a big battle was prepared, and everything turned out to be normal, not to mention the exchange of fire, and there was not even a petty theft.

There are only two possibilities for this matter, either the attacker discovered the trap, or the enemy was probing.

There is nothing to say about the former. The camouflaged water surface of Agent 76 is simply horrible, and it is quite normal to be discovered.

But if it was the latter, it meant that No. 76 hadn't grasped the exact whereabouts of the target, and those two people were not important people, they were just bait thrown out specially.

As expected of the captain of the red team with rich experience in underground intelligence work, he used the only clues to restore the truth of the matter in all sevens and eighties.

After pondering for a moment, Kuang Fu'an decided to report the matter to Shanghai's underground organizations.

In case the attacker is one of their own, they must issue a warning to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Even if he is not his own, he cannot watch other anti-Japanese forces fall into the trap of devils and traitors. This is not what an underground party should do.

A performance disrupted the muddy waters of Shanghai's intelligence community.

The intelligence forces of the Japanese, the Xinguo government, and the underground party have all been mobilized, and the backup intelligence network of the military command is also working in secret.

First, two trucks from the Public Concession and the French Concession were stolen, and then the clerks in many shops and the clerks of foreign firms quietly resigned.

Inside the 76th.

After Zheng Shisong and Chen Mingchu came back, Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun held a meeting in the auditorium to discuss recent official affairs and intelligence.

No matter how upset the two were, they still pretended to be intimate and handed each other a cigarette with a smile.

"Director Ding, the new task of the director of the Great Force is not very easy, why don't you let Director Wan take over?"

Li Shiqun had a cigarette in his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke, and asked a question.

Not long ago, Ding Mocun entrusted him with the task of finding Zuo Zhong. He thought that the other party had changed his temper, but he didn't expect to find nothing after searching for a few days.

Only then did he realize that the surname Ding was throwing the blame. Thinking about it, how could Zuo Zhong expose his whereabouts so easily.

Ding Mocun smiled, how could he get it back after he managed to get rid of the scapegoat with great difficulty, he immediately slapped haha.

"Deputy Director Li, those who can do more work, Director Wan still has to keep an eye on Chen Mingchu and Zheng Shisong, there is no time."

Facing the rascal Ding Mocun, Li Shiqun was furious but had nothing to say. It's not just talk when a senior official crushes someone to death.

After being silent for a long time, he had no choice but to change the subject and ask if the fishing operation had any results.

Compared with Ding Mocun, Li Shiqun has greater ambitions, and he is not afraid to fight Zuo Zhong, which is determined by his own experience.

As a high-achieving student at Shanghai University, and also studied at the Red Russian Intelligence School, he didn't look down on state agents at all.

No matter how powerful the military command is, is it better than the GRU?

A group of bumpkins who have never seen the world, lucky enough to catch a few Japanese spies and inner ghosts, nothing to be afraid of.

Li Shiqun felt that with the current strength of No. 76, he was fully capable of catching Zuo Zhong, provided that all the people were handed over to him to command.

But Ding Mocun was not so optimistic, but he didn't bother to explain, and lazily explained the itinerary of Chen Mingchu and Zheng Shisong.

Anyway, according to the surveillance personnel's report, the two men had no contact with any suspicious persons, nor did they behave suspiciously.

After hearing this, Li Shiqun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. If Zuo Zhong really came to Shanghai, it would be impossible to let the traitor go, and sanctions would definitely be imposed.

Could it be that Dali Tongzhen's speculation was wrong, the other party did not come to Shanghai?
Just as he was thinking, Ding Mocun on the opposite side knocked on the cigarette ash and said another thing.

"Just now Zheng Shisong came back and asked to meet He Xingjian the day after tomorrow. Deputy Director Li, do you think you should agree?"

He Xingjian?
Li Shiqun was stunned. After the opponent surrendered, he was immediately named the deputy commander-in-chief of the "pseudo-loyal rescue army" by the Japanese, with nearly 5 troops.

This force is mainly responsible for maintaining local security in Jiangnan, and the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai provided it with a large number of weapons from the regular army of the Yuanguo Army, which was quite effective.

But why did Zheng Shisong want to see He Xingjian? Could there be a problem?
What if Zheng Shisong chooses to die with He Xingjian on the day of the meeting, what will happen then? He expressed his worries.

"Hehe, Deputy Director Li, you are worrying too much."

Ding Mocun felt that the other party was worrying a little bit, but fortunately this guy could figure it out, so he waved his hand and continued.

"Not to mention that our people accompanied us all the way, Zheng Shisong didn't have the chance to do anything, even if he did, He Xingjian's guards were not vegetarians.

Zheng Shisong told me that he wanted to see He Xingjian to see if the locust army and the Xinguo government really kept their word and treated the defectors kindly.

This matter is understandable. If he and Chen Mingchu are used as bait these days, the other party will inevitably think too much. I think he can agree to his request. "

That's right.
Li Shiqun nodded slightly. The reason was very reasonable. If Zheng Shisong didn't respond to being used as a bait, it would be abnormal.

After pondering for a while, he finally didn't raise any objection, and let Zheng Shisong see He Xingjian's current situation.

As the deputy head of Shanghai District and the former head of Jinmen Station, Zheng Shisong knew a lot of top-secret information.

Perhaps through this matter, he can really cooperate with No. 76, instead of pretending to be a snake like he is now, avoiding talking about key issues.

So this matter was settled, as for whether He Xingjian would not want to come, that was up to him.

Don't look at the "pseudo-loyalty to save the army" with strong soldiers, but He Xingjian is neither Mr. Ji's direct descendant, but also has a falling out with the "master" Mr. Du.

Once the new government is established, the opponent's position will be very embarrassing, maybe they will be deprived of military power, take a short position and retire there.

If He Xingjian was a smart person, he would not violate the order of No. 76. After all, this is the most important intelligence agency of the Xinguo government.

After the discussion, Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun got up and left the conference room, not taking this matter to heart at all.

The privilege room on the third floor.

Zheng Shisong lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and recalled the terrain around the address on the invitation in his mind.

After being transferred from Jinmen to Shanghai by Dai Chunfeng, the first thing he did was to buy a map and walk around Shanghai a few times.

As an agent, if you are not familiar with the city you are in, it is very dangerous. On the contrary, it can greatly increase the chance of surviving in danger.

When No. 76 arrested him, if it wasn't for the inexplicable car accident, he would have escaped a long time ago, so why did he fall into the enemy's hands.

He used his memory to restore the alley bit by bit, where there are turns, where there are intersections, where the most people are, and where there are conditions for ambush.

Zheng Shisong's ability to be sent to Jinmen to set up a separate intelligence station at the beginning of the establishment of the Secret Service is beyond doubt.

Hours later, a simple plan slowly took shape.

Zheng Shisong opened his eyes and looked at his watch with the help of the faint moonlight, then closed his eyes again, breathing slowly and steadily.
