Chapter 1042 Cooperation
Zuo Zhong asked a question to the air behind him, and a moment later a person slowly came out from the corner, it was the leader of the red team, Kuang Fu'an.

I saw the other party shaved the iconic mustache, wearing the bunts that Hong Kong residents often wear, standing on the spot with a calm expression and chatting.

"Your Excellency is dressed as a Japanese. You didn't speak a word of Cantonese during the whole process, but you acted so familiar with Cantonese opera. Don't you want to meet?"

Seeing the familiar figure, Zuo Zhong laughed without revealing Kuang Fu'an's identity, and clapped his hands slightly to explain.

"Hehe, sir's identity is really sensitive┴, and I don't want to visit the door in person, so I made such a bad plan just now, please forgive me."

Even in the matter of Yan Baichuan defecting to the enemy, the Guo Party and the underground party have common interests, so it is not suitable for him to openly meet a Northwest agent.

Otherwise, once Shancheng finds out about this matter, even Dai Chunfeng won't be able to protect him, and his position cannot be wavered in the slightest.

Even if he has saved someone, even if he has made outstanding performance in the Chang'an incident, it is still useless. This is a life-and-death struggle, not just a joke.

For Zuo Zhong's hypocritical apology without any sincerity, Kuang Fu'an secretly scolded Agent Gou and asked with a sneer.

"From the mountain city?"

"Northwest?"

"Who are you here for?"

"Of course it's Yan Baichuan."

"Looking for a place to talk?
"it is good."

Zuo Zhong asked and answered with each other, informed each other of their identity and purpose, and then walked out of the alley one after the other, without saying a word of nonsense during the period.

In fact, the two parties have long guessed their respective identities, otherwise they would not show up easily.

After walking for a while, the two randomly found a small teahouse and sat down, quietly holding teacups, neither of them said the first sentence.

Cars come and go on the highway, pedestrians keep passing by outside the door, the bustling street and the quiet teahouse seem to be separated into two worlds.

In the end, it was Kuang Fu'an who spoke first. He recalled the past two days, glanced at Zuo Zhong and suddenly asked a question.

"Dongqiang is your man?"

Zuo Zhong raised his brows when he heard the words, neither admitted nor denied, knowing that his actions today made the other party doubt Dong Qiang's identity.

In fact, before planning to contact Kuang Fuan, he had already guessed the result.

After all, the other party was the most elite agent in Northwest China, not the bastards from No. 76 and Secret Service Headquarters, so it was impossible not to know why they were exposed.

But this is exactly his purpose, to make Dongqiang's identity semi-public, so as to avoid conflicts between the Hong Kong City Underground Party and him, and delay the important tasks of both parties.

As for the safety of Dongqiang, the underground party will not target an official of the Hong Kong British government for no reason. In the British territory, it is the best choice for everyone to live in peace.

But there are some things that can only be done and cannot be said. Zuo Zhong smiled slightly and drank a sip of tea. He remained silent all the time and did not express his opinion on this matter.

But what Kuang Fuan said next made him frown directly, and also made things develop in another direction.

"Everyone is for the same goal. I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to send someone to monitor me."

Kuang Fuan thought of the Hong Kong gangsters who were watching him at the door, and questioned him with a little sarcasm. He had spent a lot of thought to get rid of those three people today.

Surveillance?

Zuo Zhong┴'s heart sank, without his own order, Dongqiang could not have sent someone to monitor Kuang Fu'an on his own initiative, and the information in the dead mailbox did not mention this matter.

What the hell is going on here?

After thinking quickly for a while, Zuo Zhong was suddenly taken aback as if thinking of something, immediately straightened up and looked at Kuang Fu'an, and replied seriously.

"We didn't send anyone to monitor you. To be honest, Dongqiang was also followed. I thought it was yours. Now it seems that we are all wrong!"

Hearing this, Kuang Fuan also sat up straight. If the Guodang Gou spy did not lie, it means that a third party has joined the game.

Japanese?
British?
Or a pseudo-government?
The expressions of the two became serious. No matter who the power suddenly appeared, this is not good news for the fruit party and the underground party.

Perhaps because of the tacit understanding between the intelligence personnel, at almost the same moment, Zuo Zhong and Kuang Fu'an raised their heads and reported a ship name each.

"Kyushu?"

"Queen?"

Two completely different ship names came out of their mouths, Zuo Zhong's face was gloomy, and the information that Yan Yiting was going to Hong Kong on the "Queen" came from Changgu's latest secret message.

Originally, he thought that it would be enough to just wait for the cruise ship to arrive at the port according to the schedule, and keep an eye on people. Unexpectedly, something like this happened, he patted the table lightly, and gritted his teeth.

"MD! We were fooled."

Hunting geese all day long, but the geese pecked at their eyes. In the past, the military command released false information to the Japanese. Unexpectedly, the other party followed suit this time, and they almost fell into a trap.

Using Yan Yiting as a bait, the devil threw out two pieces of fake whereabouts information, and then monitored the suspicious persons who appeared at the Sheung Wan pier to lock and judge the leaking channel.

Moreover, there are only 10 days from the release of the news to the departure of the target to Hong Kong City. This time must have been carefully calculated in order not to give the government and the Northwest a chance to react.

If the time is too long, with the characteristics of the two parties, you have me, and I have you, this trap is easy to get through. I have to say that this time the Japanese really put their heart into it.

Zuo Zhong broke out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't met Kuang Fu'an on a whim and informed each other of some of the situation, the problem would have been serious.

First of all, Hase Ryosuke is likely to be exposed. Using information of different contents to identify personnel is the most commonly used anti-espionage method by intelligence agencies of various countries.

Once the Japanese find out that the military command has focused on the "Queen", Mr. Hana of Imperial Intelligence will definitely be liquidated to the brim, and there will be no second ending.

Furthermore, if the evidence of Yan Baichuan's negotiations with the Japanese cannot be grasped, the government will be very passive and can only wait for the Jin army to launch an attack instead of responding in advance.

Fortunately, the devil never dreamed that the intelligence system of the underground party and the fruit party, which beat life and death, would join forces, let alone that he, the deputy director of the military command, was blue-skinned and red-boned.

It's all old information, and what Zuo Zhong can think of, Kuang Fuan on the other side can naturally think of it. If there is no accident, the dock must be full of Japanese intelligence personnel on the day the "Kyushu" docked.

Kwong Fu'an, who was sweating coldly, was also very fortunate when he thought that the comrades who organized and lurked in the puppet government or the Japanese side were almost exposed.

The two were silent for a long time, they raised their glasses and clinked at the same time, they drank the tea instead of wine in one gulp, and then spoke together.

"Cooperation?"

"Join us?"

After finishing speaking, Zuo Zhong and Kuang Fu'an looked at each other and smiled, no matter what their apparent beliefs were, they had only one goal at the moment - to prevent Yan Baichuan and the Jin army from surrendering to the enemy.

Now that they have a common goal, cooperation is a must. The two reached a consensus as quickly as possible, and they will combine their forces in Hong Kong to complete their respective tasks as soon as possible.

This decision may seem rash, but it is not. In addition to the determination to defend the country, there are other reasons and reasons for the cooperation between the two parties.

The Northwest has always advocated that when the country is in peril, the two parties should temporarily suspend the dispute over beliefs and doctrines, and work together to deal with the Japanese. This is the pattern.

What's more, through this operation, the combat effectiveness of the national government's intelligence system can be assessed in detail. When encountering such a good thing, the underground party will certainly not object.

The reason why Zuo Zhong dared to "collaborate with the bandits" was because this matter was different from visiting Kuang Fu'an publicly, and he would not be suspected by Lao Dai and someone because of this.

Being able to use the hands of the Northwest to deal with the Jin army and destroy the relationship between the two, so-and-so and those big bosses in the mountain city are too late to be happy, so how can they embarrass Zuo Zhong.

After confirming the partnership, the originally tense atmosphere became more relaxed, but there was an urgent problem to be solved, which was which ship Yan Yiting would take to Hong Kong City.

Without a clear name of the ship, it is not easy to find the target from so many ships. Don't forget, while looking for people, they have to avoid the eyes of the Japanese.

So even if Shancheng cooperates with Northwest and has sufficient manpower, it is still difficult to find and locate Yan Yiting's whereabouts.

Kuang Fuan looked at the busy road outside the window, frowned and thought for a few minutes, and finally proposed a solution based on the current situation.

"The target city of Hong Kong will definitely not live in the Japanese consulate, which will lose the meaning of the third place negotiation, and the other party will probably live in a place that has nothing to do with the Japanese.

Negotiation is a long process. Can we think of a way in hotels and hotels in the city and check if anyone has booked a long-term private room recently? "

Investigating a person's whereabouts is nothing more than starting from the four directions of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Kuang Fu'an's thinking is correct, but Zuo Chong quickly shook his head.

"There are many British businessmen in Hong Kong City, some of whom returned to Europe after the outbreak of the war, and their houses are being rented out, with locations all over Hong Kong and Kowloon.

If the target lives in these places, we can't find it at all, and I suspect that someone else is in charge of the negotiations, Yan Yiting is just a smokescreen. "

Zuo Zhong squinted his eyes, and directly threw out a new point of view, suspecting that the current investigation direction had gone wrong.

Kuang Fuan was not surprised when he heard this, and even Yan Yiting's whereabouts were false, so it is not impossible for the negotiators to have problems.

But he was a little curious as to why the Guodang spies made this judgment, thinking that there might be other intelligence channels in Shancheng, so he asked directly.

"What's the reason?"

"The reason? It's simple."

Zuo Zhong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, without any intention of handing it to Kuang Fu'an, he just took out a pack of cigarettes, put it in his mouth, and said slowly.

"Yan Yiting said that he is Yan Baichuan's distant cousin, so it can be said that they have never had any contact with each other, even when Yan Baichuan was in Taiyuan, the two never met in private.

At most, they had a few encounters in the ancestral hall during the Chinese New Year worship, and they didn't even talk about it. This point, our people have verified it, so we can be sure.

It doesn't make sense why when the Japanese came, Yan Yiting turned into a representative of Yan Baichuan, negotiating with the devils on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers and their families.

Not to mention that the other party does not have the professional skills required by a negotiator, but they do have them. Is it reasonable for Yan Baichuan to leave his cronies alone and use a distant relative? "

In fact, as soon as he received Yan Yiting's information, he had doubts, but it was only suspicion, because there was no evidence, and now that he knew that the other party's whereabouts were false, Yan Yiting's identity would inevitably be questioned.

The reason is simple, no one would use such an important person as bait.

Therefore, their first task is to find out the real negotiators, and then to track and monitor them. If no one can be found, it is impossible to obtain the negotiation content.

Kuang Fu'an's heart trembled, what the other party said was true, there is a limit to nepotism, and Yan Baichuan's subordinates would be the first ones who would not agree to entrust the future of the Jin army to a businessman.

After pondering over and over again, he solemnly bid farewell to Zuo Zhong and left the time and place of the next meeting. The matter was of great importance, and he had to report the relevant situation and ask for instructions to his superiors.

Zuo Chong nodded with a smile, got up and sent the other party away, looked at the captain of the red team who disappeared into the crowd, turned around and walked away from the teahouse with Gui Youguang who was hiding in the corner.

Not only does the other party want to ask for instructions, but they also have to contact Shancheng. One is to obtain approval to cooperate with the underground party, and the other is to seek help and find real negotiators.
