The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 319 Yellow Bird
In the evening, Zhou Qinghe met with Zeng Haifeng.

This time it was in the room Zeng Haifeng booked himself downstairs.

As soon as Zhou Qinghe knocked on the door, it was opened almost instantly. Zhou Qinghe saw Zeng Haifeng who was in a very bad condition.

Zeng Haifeng saw that he was quite serious. Although he knew the answer, he still asked: "Are you sure it's him?"

Zhou Qinghe walked in and nodded.

"It's over." Zeng Haifeng seemed a little dazed. He slumped against the door and just managed to close it.

"Head of the Personnel Department, Chen Mingchu!"

Head of the Personnel Department! The worst possible scenario.
Zhou Qinghe looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Yingzuo is gathering the team at No. 76. The list of people to be arrested for the treason of the personnel section chief should be very long. There is still time. How many people can be notified in time?"

"Not much. Almost all communications are cut off. Apart from the General Affairs Section of the Telecommunications Group that I control, there are two intelligence groups, some companies, and factories. These are all I have before tonight. It's basically too late to contact the rest. Even the deputy station chief, the earliest he can see the secret sign I left is tomorrow morning."

Zeng Haifeng is a cautious person. Being cautious has its advantages. If anything happens to the deputy station chief, he won't be implicated because no one knows where he is. The disadvantage is that the deputy station chief is also afraid of being implicated by him, so it is impossible for anyone to tell him how to contact him directly, whether it's a phone number or an address.

So there are downsides to being careful.

Things are going to the worst. Yingzuo will definitely find a way to arrest people, even if the whole of Shanghai is buried with him! If Zhou Qinghe doesn't want to bear the punishment of the headquarters, he can't delay Yingzuo for too long, otherwise Yingzuo will definitely get suspicious.

Tomorrow morning, the time is too long. If it is delayed too long, something will go wrong. What Zhou Qinghe wants is to be safe, so this matter cannot have anything to do with him.

Zhou Qinghe looked at the distraught Zeng Haifeng and had no time to comfort him.

He patted his shoulder and said, "Let's talk about the matter first."

Zeng Haifeng nodded. He was no longer in the mood to joke or drink as usual. He followed in silence and sat down on the sofa.

Both of them knew that when this person was the head of the personnel section, the Shanghai station would not be in serious trouble, but would be in a dark cloud and face destruction.

"Tell me first, what does he know?" Zhou Qinghe asked.

Zeng Haifeng floated up and said solemnly, "Chen Mingchu is in charge of personnel. He has a list of all the people in the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station, but they are not necessarily accurate names. Some are aliases, and they are expired aliases."

The method of recording this list was given to Chen Mingchu by Zeng Haifeng himself, because Chen Mingchu's cover identity was a tailor, and customers who ordered clothes would be recorded in the counter book.

So Zeng Haifeng asked him to buy the same notebook, one to record the guests and the other to record the personnel list of the Military Control Station.

In this way, Chen Mingchu could write his name on the paper openly, and even if someone saw it, others would only think that it was left by the customer who ordered the clothes.

"for example."

"He had a notebook with ten names on each page, and each name was sorted by the time of entry. The first name on the first page was mine. The content was Zeng Haifeng, male, alias Liu Chengdong, with the rank of colonel.

The purpose of recording these names is, firstly, to provide documentation for future sacrifices, and secondly, to record the accurate list of current personnel at Shanghai Station after personnel changes.

He has a copy of this list, and the General Affairs Department has a copy. His copy is a little rough.

If a person is alive and has not left, do not move. Those who have left will be crossed out, and those who have sacrificed will be crossed out. If a pseudonym is changed in the middle, it will not be changed. The one in the General Affairs Department is more detailed, with accurate job levels and relationships between superiors and subordinates, because salaries need to be paid and expenses reimbursed.

Even if the person who joins the Military Control Commission has never met Chen Mingchu, this name will come to him. "

Zhou Qinghe understood: "So the content of the closed-door meeting at No. 76 is to find out the current residential addresses of these people from the backup of their household registration based on their former aliases, and then conduct a unified action to complete the arrest?"

Zeng Haifeng nodded: "The better they hide, the more likely it is that their identities have not changed. On the contrary, those who have been in danger because of their identities in operations have changed their identities, so they should be able to escape this time."

It is hard to accept that advanced technology is the reason for being exposed first.

Zhou Qinghe pondered, "No. 76 will go to the police station to look for the records. This process will take time, and it will take quite a while. Ideally, they will find all of them and arrest them all at once. In the worst case, we should first look for the middle and high-level officials at the Shanghai station, and arrest them as soon as we find them. This way, we will have less time left."

"Is it too late to kill Chen Mingchu and destroy the list?" Zeng Haifeng suddenly said, "The man who was planted when the group was first established, activate him and take him away with one shot."

Zhou Qinghe didn't even ask him how a person could kill someone and destroy the list under the noses of so many people. He just said it directly.

"Knowing that this person is the head of the personnel department, you don't have to think about destroying it. There is definitely not only one copy of the list. Don't forget, he was not arrested today. Chen Mingchu had already surrendered to the Japanese before Yingzuo went to Nanjing. It has been several months.

"If Yingzuo can leave him outside without worry, what do you think he should give to Yingzuo so that Yingzuo can be assured that he will not run away? A confession? How much is that worth to a military commander?"

"What if?"

"Nothing will happen. Let me remind you how Zhang Jie was arrested. I have been monitoring him around the clock. Before Zhang Jie was arrested, Yingzuo had never been to the tailor shop."

"Zhang Jie!" Zeng Haifeng hammered his leg and closed his eyes. It was really meaningless to calculate like this: "Damn it, when did Yingzuo find him? Or did he take the initiative to join Yingzuo?"

"It doesn't have to be Kagesawa."

Zhou Qinghe had also thought about this problem. He now had an idea that the person who defected was not Yingzuo, but Tobiyuu who was still in Shanghai at that time.

Mitsui and Mitsubishi teamed up to deal with him.

In this matter, Kagesawa stood in the forefront and Doihara was involved. Although they joined forces, Mitsui and Mitsubishi are not the same company in essence. In the end, it all comes down to the same question: how to divide the different interests?
The benefits and contributions that Kagesawa gained from this matter are clearly visible, but what about Doi-Yuan and Mitsui behind him? Don’t they want any benefits from Shanghai?
You want benefits but don’t want to put in the effort?
This is impossible. Why should Mitsubishi give the profits to Mitsui?

It is highly likely that Doiyuan provided this key clue, and Kagezo, the head of the Special Committee, operated it. In the end, Mitsui's people got the position of Shanghai Military Police Commander, while Kagezo got military merit and Mitsubishi got the Green Gang, thus locking in the future profits of Shanghai under the management of the Green Gang.

But this is just a guess. The affairs of the gendarmerie commander were disrupted by him. Mitsui has no profit. It is also possible that Mitsubishi will transfer half of the Green Gang.

Zhou Qinghe waved his hand: "Anyway, it's either Kagesa or Doi-Yuan. It's most likely Doi-Yuan. If this list is in Doi-Yuan's hands, don't even think about destroying it. Think about how to survive the crisis."

"Fatty" Zeng Haifeng had a big head and frowned, "Qinghe, my mind is a little confused now, and it's easy to make mistakes. You are an outsider now, and your mind is clearer. Tell me what to do, and I will listen to you."

"Let me be frank. The head of the personnel department has betrayed us and the list is in someone else's hands. This is the worst-case scenario and we cannot take any chances.

Be prepared. If Shanghai Station cannot be saved, you can rescue some people and evacuate Shanghai immediately. This is the best situation at the moment."

Zeng Haifeng felt a pain in his heart, but he was not naive, "I know."

Zhou Qinghe's mind was quickly going through what might happen next. He looked up and said, "The most important thing now is time. I can help you delay for a while. How long will it take for you to contact the people in your station?"

"It can only be tomorrow." Zeng Haifeng said in distress, "The code agreed upon by the deputy station chief and I is that we each write on a wall. In order to prevent him from getting into trouble, I will not do this myself, but find a beggar to write on a regular basis. In this way... Wait!"

Zeng Haifeng suddenly perked up and asked with a focused look, "11 o'clock, radio! All the team leaders have a radio and receive messages at regular intervals. Is there any way to delay it until this time? As long as they receive the message and notify the team members one by one, most of them should be able to escape. Even if they don't have time to notify them, at least they can escape on their own!"

Zhou Qinghe glanced at his watch. It was only five o'clock. "That means it will take six hours."

Zhou Qinghe frowned: "Team leaders, section chiefs, and deputy station chiefs are almost the first targets for arrest. They will definitely be the first to be found. Even if it takes half an hour for No. 76 to get to their residence from the police station, that means No. 76 will have to stay at the police station until half past ten.

I will give him one hour for verifying his identity, and half an hour for leaving No. 76, which means that only Yingzuo's people can set out from No. 76 at o'clock.

We have to hold them at No. 76 for four hours."

Zhou Qinghe's face was a little gloomy. "One hour is very simple. Yingzuo will communicate with the military doctor, the military doctor will delay for a while, and then Yingzuo will go to Miura Jiro. Miura Jiro will talk about the risk of spread. After a dispute, Yingzuo will send a message to the base camp, letting Yingzuo bear the risk of smallpox spread. This round trip may not be enough for an hour."

"What smallpox?" Zeng Haifeng was a little confused.

"It was arranged a long time ago. I made the insider of No. 76 get smallpox. Now No. 76 is locked up by the headquarters, and Yingzuo is also in there." Zhou Qinghe answered casually. Zeng Haifeng straightened his back and stood in awe: "Your insider is willing to get smallpox for you? You can arrange this? It's a big deal."

"It's fake. It's not such a coincidence that he fell ill on this day. I just made it look real." Zhou Qinghe was still thinking.

Zeng Haifeng muttered, "What a pity! If he really gets smallpox, it would be great if he could infect Yingzuo. He would get all these Japanese, which would save a lot of trouble. It would be best if No. 76 would get it too."

"There are real ones too." Zhou Qinghe replied.

Zeng Haifeng's eyes widened: "You know how to control your subordinates."

Zhou Qinghe glanced at him: "The Japanese, from Ying Zuomei's agency, went to the pub to drink. I replaced the tableware with those used by smallpox patients. He was in good health and just started to get sick. The news is still suppressed.

Yingzuo is such a cautious person, but now he is panicking. He looked back and found that few people in SH City had smallpox, so he doubted the authenticity of the whole thing and suspected that there was something wrong with the personnel of No. 76, thinking it was fake. But when someone from his own agency got it, he had to believe that there was really smallpox in Shanghai. It was the effect of the people around him, a series of traps. "

"Thank you for your hard work." Zeng Haifeng knew as soon as he heard it that Zhou Qinghe had done a lot of things before this, which allowed them to have time to think of ideas here.

When he thought of this, he wished he could skin Chen Mingchu alive with his own hands!
One and a half hours was the limit of time to prevent Yingzuo from getting suspicious. Zhou Qinghe felt that he could not delay any longer because Yingzuo would definitely forcibly send people to arrest the man.

With Shanghai in this state, the cost of a failed arrest operation would be too high for Yingzuo to afford, and it was impossible for him not to worry about the news leaking out.

Zeng Haifeng can only watch Zhou Qinghe find a solution now. With Zhou Qinghe's strength in Shanghai, if he doesn't have the right means to save these people, then no one in Shanghai can save them.

"Six hours, No. 76, police station, identity information, arrest, Yingzuo must leave Shanghai"

Zhou Qinghe quickly integrated the information and available means in his mind. He had to get himself out of trouble, complete the rescue, and sneak past Yingzuo to preserve the channel.

Zhou Qinghe thought of something and suddenly looked at Zeng Haifeng, "How many people are there at Shanghai Station?"

"More than 800."

“What about the middle and senior management?”

"Not counting those from factories and companies, there are probably about sixty-five."

"Sixty-five." Zhou Qinghe murmured and calculated secretly, then patted his thigh and said, "Got it. We don't care how long it takes for No. 76 to finish the job. After that, the people from No. 76 will definitely go to the household registration offices of various police stations in Zhabei to look for the records and compare the photos.

Next, they have two modes of arrest. One is to find and arrest one by one, and wait for the vehicle outside the police station or at a key intersection.

The second is to wait until most of the management are gathered and arrest them together.

In order to prevent information leakage, the latter is more likely, but it doesn’t matter, it does not affect our next plan.

Don't you know where your deputy station chief's people are?"

Zeng Haifeng nodded: "Yes."

Zhou Qinghe stared at Zeng Haifeng and said, "Follow No. 76 and ask the people from No. 76 to help you find them. Kill them when you find them."

"Hiss." Zeng Haifeng understood. "There are too many people to arrest. They will definitely split up the troops. Each group will not have too many people, maybe four, maybe six, maybe eight. Except for a few particularly important section chiefs, there will definitely not be more than ten. No. 76 has limited manpower."

"More than 200 people." Zhou Qinghe knew the personnel data of No. 76; "Even if No. 76 goes all out, the civilians and women stay in the police station to look for information, and all the men arrest people, the number of people that No. 76 can mobilize will definitely not exceed 160.

The military police will help, but there is another problem here. As long as one person is arrested, there will be someone driving the car, someone guarding the prison van, and someone guarding the cell at No. 76. The more people are arrested, the more they will be short of manpower. "

Zeng Haifeng moved his butt forward on the sofa and asked with a frown, "The idea is fine, but I don't have enough manpower now. Even if I pull everyone out, they can't keep up with so many groups. And they still have to fight. If we divide them, only three or four groups can be saved. What about the others? Should we just give up?"

Zhou Qinghe laughed when he heard this: "Stationmaster Zeng, have you forgotten that your Military Control Commission Shanghai Station has another group of people in Nanshi?"

Zeng Haifeng thought about it and suddenly got excited: "How could I forget about her! Jiang Wen! Your Jiang Wen!"

Zeng Haifeng's hands were shaking with excitement.

When Shanghai Station was first built, it was poor. Zeng Haifeng had an evil idea and gave Jiang Wen and 400 other people to Zhou Qinghe, under the pretext of making it easier for Zhou Qinghe to operate in the concession. In fact, he just wanted Zhou Qinghe to pay for the support.

Later, the situation became bad, the deputy station chief rebelled and was almost wiped out. Everyone split up, Zhabei went to Zeng Haifeng and Nanshi went to Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen’s 400 people are not on the roster for the Shanghai station!
"She can still be used!" Zeng Haifeng was excited, and tears came out of his little eyes.

The Military Control Commission's Shanghai station suffered a devastating disaster, and all the people on the list were ruined.

He once thought that he was left alone.

But now, there is a sudden turn of events!
"Hey~" Zhou Qinghe nodded: "Cheers to your wise move back then, you do have someone else, Station Master Zeng."

"Okay, I know what to do." Zeng Haifeng was confident: "Jiang Wen led the action team back then. The combat effectiveness of 400 people should be considerable!"

"Follow them, find your people, kill No. 76's people, rescue your people, and then notify their men to evacuate. This way, you will not be restricted by 11 o'clock. As for the people that No. 76 did not capture, at 11 o'clock, you will continue to arrange for people to send telegrams and let them evacuate on their own."

Zhou Qinghe looked out the window at the sky outside and said, "The weather is not bad tonight. Those who have been rescued and can leave tonight, whether by car, boat or other means, must all leave Shanghai."

Zeng Haifeng felt a pain in his heart: "This is the foundation I have laid."

He really couldn't bear to leave. He had stayed in Shanghai for four years. Although he was very reluctant when he was ordered to come to Shanghai, in the four years since he came here, he built up the system bit by bit from the ruins after the war to the current complete framework. How much effort did it take for the Military Control Commission to have such a big foundation in Shanghai?
Assassinations, intelligence, factories, the supplies shipped to the front line through his hands alone could be used by hundreds of thousands of soldiers in a year, without costing the headquarters a penny.

It's all gone now.

"Then what about the smuggling channels? The troops on the front line are still waiting for our medicines." Zeng Haifeng felt even more heartbroken when he thought of this.

Speaking of this, Zhou Qinghe had to ask him a question.

"You have two choices now. The first choice is to leave Shanghai and return to Chongqing by any means before tomorrow, while there are no wanted posters with your portrait on them. No matter how many people die in Shanghai in the future, it will have nothing to do with you. I don't think Boss Dai will let you come to Shanghai again. You don't have to worry about the channels, I will find a way to rebuild your channels."

"Can I still stay?" Zeng Haifeng was surprised. "I thought I had to leave. Qinghe, if I can stay, I will definitely stay. Who is more familiar with Shanghai than me? If the people from Chongqing take over, who would not be more useless? I am needed to rebuild the Shanghai station. Newcomers in Shanghai don't know the interpersonal relationships. We can wait, but the frontline troops can't wait that long. Please let me stay."

"You don't want to leave, do you?"

"Don't go!"

"Want to kill Chen Mingchu?"

Zeng Haifeng glared at Zhou Qinghe: "Kill? I'm going to peel off his skin, inch by inch with a spoon!"

"You're willing to die?"

"I'd even die!"

Zhou Qinghe nodded: "Okay, I will create a chance for you to stay, but remember what you said, I am willing to die."

Zeng Haifeng slanted his eyebrows, "You are afraid of death, grandson! But we agreed that you must give me a chance to kill Chen Mingchu!"

"It's a deal. You'll send someone off tonight, and then come back here. Then don't go anywhere else, and don't see anyone. You can't leave the room until I say something."

Zhou Qinghe patted his shoulder and said, "You are very important. I will definitely give you a chance to take revenge, and I will do it in person. Be patient and don't let anyone find you."
