The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 474 Testing
"Brother, morning."

"It's so early in the morning, junior brother, you are disturbing my sweet dreams." When Wen Qiu opened the door in the morning and saw Cheng Mo, he couldn't help but say with some resentment.

He is now working for Cheng Mo. As the two of them are master and apprentice, they can visit each other frequently, so naturally no one will suspect him anymore.

Besides, Wen Qiu's family also moved from the alley behind the Xiafei Road Youth Hostel into the International Settlement and settled down not far from the house where Cheng Mo lived now.

In this way, there is someone to take care of us.

"What happened? It's just that Dr. Morita came. Why are you so confused?" Wen Qiu invited him in, poured him a glass of water, and teased him casually.

"Senior brother, you are playing this kind of joke on me." Cheng Mo put the breakfast he bought on the table. He couldn't ask someone to do something for him, but he couldn't do it empty-handed.

What's more, coming at this hour, Wen Qiu might not be awake yet. It would be unreasonable not to give him some compensation for disturbing his sleep so early in the morning.

"Isn't it Dr. Morita's business?" Wen Qiu looked up in surprise.

"Yes, but not entirely." Cheng Mo explained, "Last night, the Military Control Commission sent me a secret telegram asking me to provide the schedule and list of the visiting group going to Nanjing."

Wen Qiu heard this and said, "This is the task given to you. There is no problem."

"Brother, have you ever thought about the mission?"

Wen Qiu thought about it carefully and immediately understood Cheng Mo's concerns: "You mean, the Military Control Commission might take action against this visiting group?"

"Yeah, that's my guess." Cheng Mo nodded.

"The visiting group has a large number of people, and a one-on-one assassination is not very meaningful. Besides, those who come this time are people from the domestic political, business and academic circles. It is estimated that they may not be able to tell who is who. But if the Military Control Commission wants to disrupt the ceremony of Wang Puppet's return to the capital and create a shocking case, it is not impossible." Wen Qiu nodded. If he could think of this, Cheng Mo could naturally think of it as well.

"Both assassination and poisoning require entry to the special train. I'm afraid the Japanese won't give the Military Control Commission a chance. Their security measures must be very strict, and the train crew will never let anyone suspicious get on. So, the only way is to blow up the special train!"

Bomb the train!
Wen Qiu lost his voice.

"Bombing the special train is an indiscriminate action. Who can survive at that time will depend on luck..."

"Are you worried about Dr. Morita on the special train?"

"Chiyoko will also accompany her father to Jinling."

"After all, you are still worried about Dr. Morita and Chiyo." Wen Qiu understood that Cheng Mo's focus in coming to him was still on Hideo Morita and Chiyo, father and daughter. As for the safety of other people, he didn't care too much.

Cheng Mo smiled and did not deny it.

"Since you are so worried about their safety, then think of a way to prevent them from going to Jinling. After all, Dr. Morita is not a particularly important figure in the visiting group."

"No, I can't let them stay for any reason. Otherwise, if something happens to the special train, the Japanese will be suspicious." Cheng Mo said.

"That's going to be difficult."

"So, I came to you, brother, to help me find a solution!"

"What good solution can I have!" Wen Qiu said unhappily.

"Senior brother, you can't just stand by and watch them die." "Cheng Mo, are you sure that if the Military Control Commission asks you to provide the itinerary and list of the visiting group, you will take action?" Wen Qiu asked seriously.

"According to past practice, providing information about the specific itinerary and list is a preparation for the action. In fact, they have already started preparing for this action, but they just didn't tell me." Cheng Mo nodded.

"The Military Control Commission will not ask you to provide intelligence alone. They must have other sources of intelligence. They will summarize and compare them in the end to determine the accuracy of the intelligence. Is that right or wrong?"

"Yes, if the intelligence is an isolated piece of evidence, it will be used with caution. Only intelligence that corroborates each other will be adopted." Cheng Mo nodded. The accuracy of a piece of intelligence can be corroborated by multiple pieces of information.

Of course, maybe a certain source is more detailed and accurate, so we will use this information as the main source and use other information to verify the accuracy of this information.

Isolated intelligence evidence is generally not accepted, as it is very likely to be a bait or trap deliberately released by the enemy.

"Is there a time limit?"

"No." Cheng Mo shook his head.

"No?" Wen Qiu frowned. There was no time requirement, which was a bit strange. If the report was made after the delegation set off, what would be the point?
Could it be that the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters simply wanted to know the name list and itinerary of the visiting group?
What's the point of this?

"Have you replied to this secret message?"

"Call back as per usual."

"Could this be a test of you by Dai Yunong?" Wen Qiu asked suddenly on a whim.

"Testing, Senior Brother, why is he testing me?" Cheng Mo was a little confused. He had always completed the tasks assigned by Dai Yunong very well. What reason did he have to test him?

"Do you have control over Chiyoko, or has Chiyoko bewitched you? Who are you working for now?" Wen Qiu pointed at Cheng Mo and said.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Mo couldn't help but think about it in his mind. He hadn't considered the angle of this question yet. Dai Yunong was a suspicious person and he didn't trust anyone. He knew that.

With the appearance of Chiyo, he wanted to use his relationship with Chiyo to obtain intelligence from the Japanese. Of course, this was a kind of exploitation, and Cheng Mo understood it.

But the exploitation is mutual. Cheng Mo knows Chiyo's identity and also knows that she will not use him, but Dai Yunong doesn't know. From the Japanese perspective, Chiyo may also be a beauty trap used by the Japanese to deal with Cheng Mo?

As long as Cheng Mo had the idea of ​​obtaining information from Chiyo, Chiyo would definitely doubt his identity unless she was a fool.

Cheng Mo had obtained a lot of information from Chiyoko, but this information was not obtained by virtue of his strong position in this relationship.

He did not use "PUA" tactics on Chiyoko, but rather an equal communication with her, because he knew Chiyoko's identity. Even if he wanted to know something, he would try his best to consider the other party. The intelligence he obtained would also be screened by him before reporting it to the Military Control Commission.

However, he chose to conceal some information because once it was reported and the Military Intelligence Bureau made further requests, it would cause trouble for Chiyoko.

This is something he doesn't want to see.

They have always been equal, but now, once Chiyo tells Cheng Mo the list of names and itinerary of the visiting group, and if the special train of the visiting group has an accident on the way to Jinling, Chiyo will be completely bound.

What Dai Yunong wants is to control Chiyoko, but Cheng Mo has always resisted using this kind of "handle" to control the other party.

If that's the case, then the results might not be so bad.
