The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 318 Smallpox
"How can this be abnormal? This is normal. No. 76's door closing action is a standard action signal."

The people in the Special High Police are not supported for nothing. Zhou Qinghe spends money to support them every month, and he expects them to give something in return.

The advantage of the Special High Police over the Military Control Commission is that their identities are originally Japanese, so they can act with impunity and go anywhere, making them much more useful than the Military Control Commission.

Although Zhou Qinghe and Hong Meigui did not go out, in the current concession, as long as something big happened, both of them would receive information.

As for Hongkou and Yingzuo's Plum Bureau, nothing is clear except that Yingzuo took a few shits in it.

What time they go to work, what time they cook, what time they get off work, what phone calls they have made, who they have met, and even what telegrams they have sent and received are all transparent to them.

Even within No. 76, there were people from the Special High Police, the Military Control Commission, and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. They were infiltrated like a sieve. The Special High Police knew who confessed and when, just as well as Li Liqun.

In terms of foundation, Yingzo is in Shanghai, which is really far behind Zhou Qinghe.

When the Japanese fight against each other, it is particularly interesting to command them. You can use them at will and don't feel sorry if they die.

"It's indeed standard. At this time, Yingzuo went out to pick up a tailor. This person should be a member of the Military Control Commission?" Red Rose also guessed a little: "Is Yingzuo preparing to clean up the mess?"

"Yes." Zhou Qinghe nodded: "Have you seen this shadow before?"

"Definitely not." Red Rose was certain that the people from the Mei Agency had been under its surveillance.

"It's not like there aren't tailors in Hongkou. Yingzuo saw a tailor in the French Concession. If it happened, I would definitely remember it."

Zhou Qinghe sneered, "Yingzuo really has a military commander in his hand. He can really hold on to such a big fish. He has been in Nanjing for several months and has discovered it long ago. He just waited until I came back and let me enjoy it."

Red Rose smiled helplessly: "In Yingzuo's heart, the big fish of the Military Control Commission is not as delicious as you, the whale."

"You are the only one who can talk. We'll make you into a mermaid and send you to him." Zhou Qinghe rolled his eyes at her. "Have our people been going to the hospital these days?"

"As you instructed, I caught a cold and had a fever, and I went to the hospital every day."

"Okay, send a signal, have the hospital call, and have the people in Room 76 take immediate action."

The basic plan had already been made, and no matter who Yingzuo caught, this step would not change.

Zhou Qinghe picked up the phone and called Miura Jiro: "Yingzuo has taken action and his men have gone to No. 76. According to our agreement, you have people surround No. 76."

After getting Miura Jiro's reply, Zhou Qinghe put down the phone, took a deep breath, and smiled: "Finally, they've taken action."

She joked to Red Rose, "In order not to distract Yingzuo and allow him to focus on his own affairs, I dare not show up these days. I am almost suffocated. I haven't gone out for half a month, right?"

Red Rose calculated the time, nodded and smiled: "Yes."

"It's time to be free. Let's celebrate General Yingzuo's success in advance. I'll treat you to a feast. Let's go."

Chinachem Hotel.

Zhou Qinghe asked Hong Meigui to take a shower and change clothes, and then give him a massage.

Then he found Liu Qi, the driver and bodyguard at the door: "Ask the kitchen to make some food and send it up. We may have something to do in the evening. You should also go and eat something. We may not have time in the evening. Find Zeng Haifeng, Zhangji Garment in the French Concession, and ask him who he is?"

"Yes, sir." Liu Qi nodded.

Zhou Qinghe watched Liu Qi leave and closed the door. The position of this person is crucial, and different people will respond differently.

For example, the damage caused by the betrayal of the director of the confidential office and the chief of the operations department is completely different, and the means of handling them must be different.

The former only knew some secret documents of the Shanghai Station, what it had done, where its industries were, etc., so as long as they cleaned up the traces, gave up some factories and relationships, and sent some people away, the matter would be solved.

As for the latter, as the head of the operations department, there are too many people involved and the plan is much more extreme.

Surrounding No. 76 could buy some time, but it was obviously impossible to completely resolve the problem.

He has been busy these days. He doesn't know who this person is, so he can only make a set of plans for everyone in each position.

In the early years, the Military Control Commission changed its communication methods to ensure basic isolation, and Zeng Haifeng's caution could provide an additional layer of insurance for this attack.

French Concession, residential buildings, Zeng Haifeng’s residence.

Zeng Haifeng in the room had an untidy beard, a pale face, and red eyes. He was staring at a pile of newspapers on the table. He hadn't slept for three days.

The subsequent actions of No. 76 can be said to be the situation revealed by Zhang Jie after his betrayal.

But the most crucial question is how Zhang Jie was found!
Zhang Jie was captured and did not defect voluntarily. So above Zhang Jie, among the middle and high-level officials of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station, there must be someone who is Yingzo's man.

He now completely agrees with Zhou Qinghe's guess that such a person must exist.

The most likely person is the command team above Zhang Jie.

But these people are either heads of intelligence, heads of operations, or captains of operations teams.

These three people were Zeng Haifeng's direct subordinates. Who could he not trust? If he didn't trust them, would he dare to put them in this position?
Zeng Haifeng's face was so pale that it was hard to find any trace of him. It was impossible for him to look at anyone. It had developed to the point where he was looking at anyone. His psychology must have been fucking twisted.

Zeng Haifeng thought carefully about all the recent actions carried out by the Military Control Commission, but still could not find the time when these people might have been arrested. It was impossible for these people to be away from their posts for too long. How much intelligence do they handle and how many people do they contact every day? How could they disappear without anyone noticing?

Unless he is caught and not tortured, and immediately betrays, even the gods cannot save him.

Who is it?

Zeng Haifeng picked up a cigarette and lit it, then leaned back in his chair, placed his hands weakly on the armrests, and let the cigarette in his hands burn.

He looked up at the ceiling, his eyes somewhat empty.

Boss Dai’s reply came back on the same day he sent his request, and the answer was just two words: “nonsense”.

As expected, Boss Dai would never agree to such an application.

If all the middle and high-level officials in the Shanghai station were taken back to Chongqing for quarantine and investigation, it would be impossible to find the traitor. The factional struggles within the Military Control Commission would be enough to make Boss Dai suffer.

"This Class A station in Shanghai doesn't want your people, but there are plenty of people who do!"

"Check for traitors. Everyone here has made great contributions in the war and has fought bravely behind enemy lines. You call them traitors? I think your people are traitors!"

"You're not a traitor? You don't want the good situation in Shanghai, and you just give it up. Isn't this helping the Japanese?"

Zeng Haifeng thought that he dared to rebel against Boss Dai and had done some outrageous things before, so he knocked everyone out, tied them up, stuffed them into boxes, loaded them on a ship and sent them to Chongqing.

So what if it was Boss Dai's order? He acted first and asked for permission later! What can you do to me?
At most, he can just stay in jail for a while? He will be able to get out when Boss Dai calms down.

And then he received the second telegram.

Boss Dai understood him too well. He knew that Zeng Haifeng would dare to do anything when he went crazy. Back then, when he was still a small figure in the Secret Service, he dared to poison a Japanese colonel while the big bosses were exchanging hostages with the Japanese.

Therefore, the contents of the consecutive telegrams sent by Boss Dai, who had reacted quickly, would not give him any chance to do anything out of line.

The above is just one sentence, which is the final word.

"The soldiers on the front line are risking their lives. If you leave, what will they eat? If they are injured, what will they use?"

Zeng Haifeng was speechless.

Never mention it again.

Shanghai’s problems can only be solved in Shanghai.

Even if we rack our brains and even risk our lives, we must insist on shipping goods on a regular basis!
But it was too hard to think about. He really wanted to smash his head on the table and die.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

"1, 3, 1, 2." The knock on the door made Zeng Haifeng, who was distracted, suddenly straighten his back and widen his eyes.

After making sure there was no subsequent noise, a rare look of joy appeared on his face.

"I'm back, I'm back, hahahaha." He muttered to himself and quickly went to open the door.

He secretly took out the gun and put it behind his back, but he still had to be on guard.

He looked through the door latch and was relieved to see Liu Qi.

He opened the door. "Are you back? Tell me from inside."

Liu Qi nodded. He was a man who did things, so he spoke quickly.

"My boss asked me to ask you, who is this person at Zhang's Garment Factory in the French Concession?"

"Who?"

Zeng Haifeng, who was originally very happy to know that Zhou Qinghe had returned, suddenly widened his pupils.

He asked hurriedly, "What happened to him?"

"Go into Room 76, Yingzuo, please go over." In Liu Qi's eyes, Zeng Haifeng's face flushed visibly in an instant, his face was clenched with teeth, his eyes were wide open as if they were about to burst, and his whole body was shaking.

Zeng Haifeng was not hot, he was very cold, with ice water pouring all over his body.

Fortunately, he was able to withstand pressure well. He reacted within two seconds and squeezed out the words, "Come in and talk."

After saying that, he walked into the inner room, but after taking a few steps, he came back and tried to close the door.

"I can't leave for too long. Who is this person?" Liu Qi asked.

Zeng Haifeng's fists clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound, his eyes filled with anger: "Chief of the Personnel Department, Chen Mingchu, let's go together."

Zeng Haifeng would never have thought that something would go wrong with Chen Mingchu!

There’s really going to be a big mess at Shanghai Station!
Why wasn’t the deputy stationmaster the one who rebelled?
He would rather be the deputy stationmaster!
No. 76, Jessfield Road, Conference Room.

Two pieces of paper were distributed to each participant.

Li Liqun introduced at the main seat: "What is placed in front of you is the list of military personnel. There are 10 people on each sheet of paper, and each person is responsible for 20 people. The ones circled on top are the middle and high-level members of the Military Control Commission.

Group leader, team leader, section chief, and even deputy station chief and station chief.

What you need to do is to go to major police stations in Shanghai and use this name to find the corresponding person. It is better to catch the wrong person than to let him go.

Prioritize management, then ordinary people. Mobile team members will be waiting at No. 76 and the entrances of major police stations. As soon as you get any news, notify them to arrest people.

Did you hear that clearly? "

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

"That's it."

Ding-ling-ling. Ding-ling-ling.

Li Liqun was interrupted by the ringing of the phone on the table. He did not raise his hand in the end. Everyone had already taken a step forward, so they had to quietly take it back and look at Li Liqun who answered the phone.

Li Liqun picked up the phone and listened.

The person on the phone said, "Director, the hospital called Captain Chen. No one answered his office, so they called the switchboard. They said it was urgent. Captain Chen might not just have a fever, but smallpox. They asked him to isolate himself immediately and not to have contact with anyone else."

"What?!" Li Liqun was startled. He glanced at the deputy squadron leader Chen Liang standing in the crowd at the back of the conference room and said in a panic: "You have a fever?"

Chen Liang in the back was a little confused: "Yes, I just came back from the hospital. I was supposed to have an IV drip, but there was an operation, saying that everyone had to come back, and I haven't even had the IV drip yet."

Come back! Li Liqun wanted to scold himself, and said with a sullen face: "The hospital said you don't have a fever, it might be smallpox."

"what?!"

This exclamation was not only made by Chen Liang, but everyone in the conference room was exclaiming, and they all stepped back, some even pinched their noses, and the looks they made towards Chen Liang were full of fear.

"Smallpox? That's the end of it. It's highly contagious. When did you get it?"

"Oh no, it's over. I'm going to have a pockmarked face."

"Those with pockmarked faces are lucky. The mortality rate from smallpox is very high."

"That's it. I just talked to him for ten minutes."

"I was drinking with him yesterday."

Chen Liang looked at the empty space around him, his eyes panicking: "Smallpox? No way? How could I get smallpox?"

"Did you go to a crowded place? A dance hall? There's a smallpox outbreak in SH city recently, don't you know?" a female section chief called out.

"Ah?" Chen Liang shouted.

After the woman said this, Li Liqun also remembered that the recent newspapers did report that smallpox was discovered in Shanghai.

The thought of this makes my head spin. I'm going to get sick at this critical moment.

Li Liqun glared at Chen Liang and said, "Why don't you find a room and isolate yourself first."

"Then I'll go to the hospital?" Li Liang looked scared and helpless: "There's no doctor here in quarantine?"

"No one is allowed to go out. You stay in quarantine first. I will report to you."

Li Liqun hung up the phone and strode out. If he got smallpox at this time, it would be a big trouble.

Soon I returned to the office and saw Yingzuo drinking tea and chatting with Chen Mingchu, and they seemed to be having a very good conversation.

When Yingzuo saw Li Liqun coming in, he thought the work was done, "Have you given all the instructions? Make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Now there's a problem." Li Liqun could only bite the bullet and report: "General Yingzuo, the hospital just called and one of our people was diagnosed with smallpox."

"What!" Yingzuo was so scared that he stood up: "Where is he? Has he contacted me?"

"I don't think so." Li Liqun thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "You came straight to my office when you entered the room, so you probably haven't seen him before."

"Has he ever seen you? Smallpox has an incubation period." Yingzuo asked with his eyes wide open.

Li Liqun was silent for a moment: "I just came back from the conference room, and he was in the conference room."

Yingzuo wanted to shoot Li Liqun to death!

Li Liqun was also in a dilemma and took a few steps back: "General, what should we do now? Should we take action or not? The list has been sent out."

"Is there any need to think about this? Of course we have to take action!"

After the initial panic, although Yingzuo was angry, he had calmed down. Being infected with smallpox was a matter of probability, but if he did not take action, if the news leaked out, all his operations in Shanghai would be in vain!
"Yes! I'll go and give the order right away." Li Liqun nodded but did not leave immediately. Instead, he reminded: "General, smallpox has an incubation period. No. 76 may not be the only one infected. If so many people go out and cause the disease to spread widely, SH City will not be peaceful."

Yingzuo glared and said, "If you can guarantee that your No. 76 is an iron wall and will never leak out, then you don't have to go!"

Li Liqun nodded: "I'll arrange it right away."

Yingzuo watched Li Liqun leave and let out a long sigh of annoyance. What a shitty luck. "I feel like the air in No. 76 is filled with the smell of smallpox."

"General Yingzo, why don't we go outside and find a place to drink tea, eat, sit and wait. We can't stay here." Chen Mingchu also looked at the air in No. 76 with disdain.

Smallpox can kill people. People don't rebel here to die.

Yingzuo thought about it and it made sense, so he strode out and said, "Let's go out."

When passing the threshold, the military police guarding in the corridor outside suddenly fainted on the ground.

Yingzuo suddenly turned around and looked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know." A fellow military police officer nearby reached out to help and was startled: "Why is it so hot?"

Yingzuo's expression changed slightly and he asked, "He has a fever?"

The military policeman touched his forehead and said, "It seems so. He seemed to have said that he had a slight fever since the night before yesterday."

Yingzuo's face suddenly turned dark. It seemed that this person was the one who opened the door and poured the water for him just now!
When I thought of this, I felt like something was moving under my skin and it was extremely itchy.

Just then, several military vehicles suddenly drove up outside the downstairs gate.

Kagezoe looked outside.

Several men wrapped tightly in protective suits jumped out of the car, and behind them were military police wearing masks.

The gate was closed directly from the outside by the military police, and they used a big lock to lock the iron gate from the outside.

At this time, Li Liqun on the first floor obviously discovered the problem, ran over, and asked the soldier in protective clothing through the iron gate: "What's wrong? Why is the door locked?"

The military doctor replied directly: "We have received a notification from the hospital that there are smallpox patients here. According to the epidemic prevention procedures, no one is allowed to go out until the smallpox infection is completely over."

"No, we only have one smallpox patient here, you can just take him away, we don't have smallpox." Li Liqun said, "Besides, we have something to do, we have to go out right away, General Yingzuo is upstairs."

The military doctor couldn't tell his expression, and just replied coldly: "The mortality rate of smallpox is 37. Smallpox is transmitted through breathing and contact with items used by patients. You are in the same space. According to epidemic prevention regulations, all of you are potential smallpox patients and are not allowed to go out. If you want to go out, do you want a smallpox epidemic in SH City?"

"General Yingzo is here!" Li Liqun argued.

"General Kagezoe can go to the hospital ward and be isolated alone."

"."Li Liqun's silence is golden.

Why are you asking?

With Yingzuo being with them, No. 76's situation will probably be better.
