Chapter 424 Vigilance and aftermath

Although Bai Yulan's worry was nothing to Zhou Sen, it was impossible for him to change his mind, it was his own way of life.

But Bai Yulan's reminder gave him a hint of vigilance.

Akiyama nosuke entrusted him with the case of the "Iron Blood Society" of the military command, which was too abrupt. At first, he thought it was Akiyama nosuke who saw that he was too leisurely. He went to work all day to fish and wanted to find something for himself. Do, or rather, give yourself a chance to perform.

However, it seems that many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.There is even a deep meaning behind it.

Bai Yulan is the leader of the military command's "skate team" lurking in the ice city, and the Japanese gave him a case investigation of the military command.

Is there really no connection here?
Although Bai Yulan hid it well, there were still people who knew her identity, especially those old people who followed the old horse.

Bai Yulan followed Lao Ma to do things, wouldn't Lao Ma's subordinates know about it?
The old horse died, and Bai Yulan had always suspected that it was murdered by the Japanese, but there was no evidence or beasts, and no clues have been found so far.

Except for a few suspects, it's just suspicion.

Also, the Japanese may have noticed the identity of the old horse, so they murdered the old horse, but after killing the old horse, did they not suspect Bai Yulan?

Is this a question mark?
Could it be that Bai Yulan gave up investigating the cause of Lao Ma's death, and secretly curtailed the "anti-Manchurian anti-Japanese" activities, and went underground in an all-round way, so that the Japanese put down their suspicions?

It's not impossible.

If Akiyama's nosuke asked him to investigate the case of the "Iron Blood Society" of the military command was aimed at Bai Yulan, then he should be vigilant.

Akiyama's cunning is notorious.

And last night so many senior Japanese military officials came to eat the full moon wine for the two children, which seemed to give him enough face.

In fact, he didn't want these people to come, but he couldn't refuse.

"Yulan, you have to tell me seriously, do the top military leaders and that Jiang Xiao at Bingcheng Station know your real identity?" Zhou Sen asked solemnly.

"It is true that my identity has been filed at the top of the military command, but I can't say whether Jiang Xiao knows." Bai Yulan frowned slightly.

"As for Lao Ma's subordinates, they all know that you used to be Lao Ma's widow. After Lao Ma left, these people will take orders from you, and they will naturally know that you are the team leader of the 'skate team'." Zhou Sen asked .

"Before the old horse died of illness, he had already made arrangements. I served as Tian Qi's deputy at that time, and announced to the outside world that I was sent by the young marshal's camp." He already knew that he had been poisoned by a chronic poison, and sought medical advice, but found that there was no solution at all, so he wanted to entrust the organization under his hands to me. He knew that I was a woman, too young, and could not suppress the people under him at all. Therefore, Li Tiancai from the Young Marshal's Camp Intelligence Department set up a plan to let me use my identity as the Camp Intelligence Department to take over the old horse's people."

"Even if you change your identity, you still have to see them?" Zhou Sen had heard of Li Tiancai. He was a capable intelligence officer beside the young marshal, a leader in the intelligence community.

"It's not difficult. Find someone who is about the same size as me and meet them for me. Then I will control it secretly for a while. After I get familiar with this person's voice, I will disguise myself into his appearance. In this way, I became Tian Qi." Bai Yulan explained.

"Didn't they suspect it?"

"I don't know about this. Even if I doubt it, I won't tell me. I seldom meet them directly. They are all commanded by remote control through other means. I no longer direct them. I am different from the old horse. , Lao Ma likes to drink with the people under his command, and there is no secret between them. His character and way of handling things cannot be changed. The situation changes, the Japanese occupied the ice city, and I changed the way of doing things and communicating. They gradually got used to it, after all, doing so also ensured their own safety."

"There is no such..."

"Yes, after the death of the old horse, a few people refused to accept it and wanted to jump up and do it alone, but they were expelled by me." Bai Yulan said.

"Just expelled?"

"No way, old horse's subordinates, if I kill them, the morale of the army will be unstable, but I can't tolerate them staying in the ice city, so it's better to get together and leave."

"Do you still have those people?"

"Why are you suddenly curious about this?" Bai Yulan frowned slightly, she was worried that Zhou Sen would be tempted and tempted, but she didn't expect him to be interested in her past.

"I remember a few, but I don't remember some. This happened several years ago." Bai Yulan said.

"I need their list."

"What's the matter, these people have a problem, or did you find something?" Bai Yulan asked nervously.

"I always feel that Akiyama's help asked me to investigate the case of the 'Iron Blood Club' is not simple, but I can't tell where the problem is, your relationship with me, and the relationship between the old horse and you, will there be some kind of connection? .” Zhou Sen said.

"You mean, it's coming after me?"

"It's hard to say, maybe the Japanese are suspicious of you, so they asked me to check the military command to see what I can find out, or they just asked me to dig you out." Zhou Sen said.

"What did you find?"

"No, so far, the clues about the 'Iron Blood Club' case have all been interrupted, especially when I found out that someone secretly passed the news to the correctional institution. When I found out the person who sent the news, all three members of this person's family disappeared. Yes." Zhou Sen said, "This means that the Juntong Bingcheng Station knows that I have restarted the investigation of the 'Iron Blood Club' case, and has taken actions to cut off the clues, and Jiang Xiao knows your identity, so he naturally knows your relationship with me. , and what would he do?"

"He will ask me to prevent you from continuing to investigate..."

"Not necessarily now. Once the news of the full moon banquet last night spread, do you think Jiang Xiao will still believe you?" Zhou Sen asked back.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yulan's expression changed immediately.

So many Puppet Manchukuo policemen and important personnel from the Japanese secret service came to join in, this is in the eyes of outsiders, not to mention that she and Zhou Sen, the couple, fell to the Japanese invaders and the Puppet Manchukuo authorities, and became "traitors" that everyone shouted and beat "?

"I'll explain..." Bai Yulan was upset.

"Now go and explain, it's not that there is no silver 300 taels here. Besides, if Jiang Xiao keeps fighting with you, he will definitely report what happened last night to Chongqing." Zhou Sen said.

"Then what, now?"

"Jiang Xiao, do they have a radio station to contact you directly in Chongqing?" Zhou Sen asked.

"They have a secret radio station, which will not be activated until the critical moment, but I don't know the specific contact mechanism."

"The most important thing now is whether we can report last night's situation to Chongqing before the opponent. Explaining first is completely different from explaining later." Zhou Sen said.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

"Also, the call back from Chongqing is very important." Zhou Sen reminded.

"I see." Bai Yulan nodded solemnly.

……

Nangang District · Daluo Company Advertising Department.

"Lao Ma, have you read today's newspaper? Table [-], Bingcheng army and police officers are all present. This card has not been seen in our Bingcheng for many years." Manager Yao from the product department knocked on the door and walked into the manager of the advertising department. Mayonda's office.

Slapped a freshly baked newspaper on Mayonda's desk.

Mayonda just took off his coat. He has a good relationship with Lao Yao, so he can enter and leave his office at will.

"Isn't it just a full moon banquet? It's nothing more than a big show. It's no big deal. It's rare." Ma Rongda heheed, walked over, greeted Lao Yao, and then picked up the newspaper and read it. As the manager of the advertising department, every day Reading newspapers is a compulsory course. The advertising department has the most contact with newspaper offices. The information in newspapers can be regarded as a kind of advertisement to a certain extent.

Slowly, Mayonda put away his smile. Others watched the fun, but he saw the hidden content in the report.

As the chief of the communications department of the Bingcheng Station of the Military Command, he naturally has a very keen sense of touch, and he sought the position of manager of the advertising department in order to facilitate his access to more information.

"Old Yao, the sales of our products have not been very good recently, are you considering increasing the investment in advertising in newspapers?"

"I have no problem adding advertisements. Can the boss agree?" Manager Yao opened his mouth in surprise and asked.

Mayonda proposed to increase the advertising budget on his own initiative, which is rare, and he usually just picks and chooses. There is no reason to report the advertising budget to him. Half of it will be cut first, and how much will be left in the end depends on it. Hard to say.

"I'll talk to the boss." Mayonda said.

"That's great. I'll make a budget for you right away." Manager Yao couldn't sit still. As soon as the advertisement was released, sales increased. For him, there were only advantages and no disadvantages. How could he not be active.

"Well, then you go, I'll wait for you to submit the budget." Mayonda nodded, he didn't care about Lao Yao's budget at all, but the information behind the newspaper reports, he had to go out immediately, but Manager Yao is here, so he must find an excuse, "I'm going to talk to the boss about this right now."

"Okay, okay, I'll go now..." Manager Yao nodded eagerly.

"Hello, it's me. Are you free? Come out for a drink?" Ma Rongda saw that Manager Yao had gone, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number.

"Okay, I see. I'll see you in a quarter of an hour." After listening to the voice from the receiver, Mayonda nodded and hung up the phone.

A cafe on the corner.

Mayonda opened the door and walked in, looked around, and saw a man in a light yellow windbreaker sitting behind a pillar.

I identified it carefully, walked over, faced the other party, took off the hat, and put it on the other side of the table.

Coffee is already ordered.

Obviously the person who came was much closer than him, otherwise it would be impossible to arrive here within a quarter of an hour, and he ordered coffee and waited for him.

"Old cat, have you read today's newspaper?"

"Well, I saw it, I was surprised, but it was expected." The man in the windbreaker lowered his head, took a sip of his coffee and nodded.

"Old cat, this is an opportunity." Mayonda said excitedly.

"What do you want to say, you don't know the rules of the military command, do you?" the man in the windbreaker put down his coffee and said sternly.

"You and I are people who have read the secret files of the military command. That woman was not one with us, and now her man is favored by the Japanese. She also gave birth to a pair of twins for that man. It can be said that she You are already a traitor to the military command!" Mayonda said impatiently.

"Don't forget how we got a foothold in the ice city. Without her, we would have been caught by the Japanese and thrown into the Songhua River to feed the bastards."

"That's just a small favor to us personally, but now she is betraying the military order, betraying the party and the country, can it be the same?"

"Just relying on the heads of the army and police Xiante in the entire ice city to attend her two children's full moon banquet?"

"Is that not enough?"

"You know who she is, and what is the identity of the person she is marrying now. Although the guests at this full moon banquet exceed the standard, it is not unacceptable."

"But she really took refuge in the Japanese..."

"If she really took refuge in the Japanese, can you and I still drink coffee here in peace?"

"Old cat, this matter must be reported to Boss Dai." Mayonda insisted, "And I suggest cutting off contact immediately to ensure safety."

"It's okay to report, but if we cut off the contact, wouldn't it make her feel that we suspect her, that she has betrayed the military command, betrayed the party state, and pushed her to the Japanese side?" Suggestions do not agree.

"Old Mao, this woman is cruel and ruthless. In order to find a young man, she broke up with the Ma family. She married Lao Ma to get Lao Ma's protection. When Lao Ma died, she usurped the throne. Seeing Ma Her family was ruined by her, so she couldn't wait to find another family, and you still believe that she can't do it?" Mayonda said viciously.

"Old Ma, it's too serious. Now that all of this has not been confirmed, it's too early for you to draw conclusions."

"Old cat, I know she helped you, but you and I must put the interests of the party and the country first. Even if she didn't betray, then for the safety of our ice city station, we must cut off contact as soon as possible." Ma Rongda said.

The man in the windbreaker code-named "Old Cat" seemed to be persuaded, lurking in the heart of the enemy, everything is his own safety as the top priority.

Without safety, how can the task be completed?
"You report the matter to the Chongqing side first. Anyway, my contact with the other side is temporarily suspended, and I will wait for Boss Dai's order." "Old Cat" said.

"Okay, I'll arrange to send the report now."

"Now, if we send a report during the day, is there too much interference? Our radio station is not so powerful, and it is easy to lose the signal. Should we wait until night to send it?" "Old Cat" frowned and said.

"Okay, then wait until the evening." Mayonda thought about it and followed the advice of "Old Cat".
