Ning Zhiheng's trip to Qingdao, although it was unsatisfactory, was still quite rewarding, at least the tripartite secret agreement in his hand was his biggest gain this time.

He had already sorted out the agreement, made it into film, and copied it in three copies, one of which was of course to be handed over to the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, another to be handed over to the farmer, and the last one was to be kept by himself.

In the intelligence community, all kinds of intelligence are divided into several categories according to different situations, such as the tripartite agreement, which has almost no timeliness, and after the tripartite agreement is established, that is to say, whenever you get this agreement, it is valuable.

Generally speaking, the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau has to back up important information like this, and it can even be sold through the intelligence market, and it can also earn back some funds to relieve the economic pressure somewhat, so the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau does not just buy intelligence in the intelligence market, but sometimes sells some intelligence according to the situation, and even if this agreement is lost, there is no loss to the Kuomintang.

At 0:00 late that night, Ning Zhiheng came to the back door of the Bluestone Tea House again, knocked on the door rhythmically as usual, and then waited for the sound of footsteps to come from inside, put down the briefcase in his hand, and turned around and retreated into the darkness.

Everything was as usual, Xia Deyan opened the door, walked out, came to the light, showed his figure, and then picked up the briefcase on the ground, turned around and retreated to the room.

Ning Zhiheng confirmed that the information was handed over correctly, so he left quickly, and Xia Deyan returned to the house, feeling worried, the last time he received news from the shadow was two months ago, when the shadow reported the information exposed by Nanjing Maoyuan Commercial Bank, and he has not been in contact since then.

The shadow will not contact him easily, and there must be important information in this briefcase.

He raised his hand to bypass the mouth of the bag, took out the contents of the bag, it was a film roll, and a blank paper, and quickly opened it to watch.

"It was learned that the Qingdao tripartite meeting ended, Zou Chengbin, a key member of the provisional government, and Su Jiaxiang, the confidential secretary of Liang Anhong of the new government, both of whom were arrested by the Japanese intelligence agencies, and the details and identities are unknown.

The final payment is still a big "shadow" word!

This time Ning Zhiheng did not inquire about the identity of Matsudaira Hidemi, although he noticed that Matsudaira Hidemi was abnormal, but because Matsudaira Hidemi's trip to Qingdao was with him throughout the whole process, if he asked the organization to verify his identity at this time, it would be easy to think of himself.

Moreover, the discipline of the underground party's hidden front is extremely strict, and there is no horizontal contact between the intelligence officers, and if he directly inquires about the identity of Matsudaira Hidemi, the underground party organization will not be able to answer.

If it is really a member of the hidden front of the underground party, with the disguise of the identity of the intelligence officer of the Iwai Mansion of Matsudaira Hidemi, it must be an intelligence officer with a high level of secrecy, such an intelligence officer is definitely a trump card, in addition to his upline, how can he reveal his identity to the outside world, and it is also a violation of discipline to ask directly.

Therefore, Ning Zhiheng decided to secretly observe Matsudaira Hidemi and be careful, unless it was a last resort, he would not ask the organization about his true identity.

At noon the next day, Xia Deyan handed over this information to Lin Hanwen.

Lin Hanwen read the content on the paper at a glance, and suddenly his heart suddenly burst into his heart, Qingdao's tripartite confluence talks, he was naturally clear, but he never expected that as soon as the talks ended, the shadow would pass on the most important internal information.

"This is too unexpected, the participants in the tripartite talks are all core members of the Japanese side and the tripartite government, such high-end confidential information, I am afraid that their insiders will not be able to access it, how did the shadow get it?"

Lin Hanwen took the film in his hand, and his words were full of disbelief, if the various messages that the shadow had passed to the organization before were barely able to explain clearly, then now, this valuable information really made Lin Hanwen unclear about the situation.

Xia Deyan was also quite helpless when he heard Lin Hanwen's inquiry, before they had a rough positioning of the shadow's identity, it should be the high-level of the No. 76 agent headquarters, but now this information has subverted this speculation.

Because at the level of the Secret Service Headquarters, it was impossible to obtain such important information, he hesitated for a moment, and replied uncertainly: "Maybe the shadow has other intelligence channels!" ”

Lin Hanwen's face was bitter, and he shook his head and said: "This explanation is too far-fetched, the value of this information is great, and there are many high-end secrets hidden in it, which is of great significance to our high-level to formulate corresponding countermeasures, and the headquarters has been asking us to go all out to fight for it before."

To be honest, I have been arranging other channels, thinking about getting this agreement, and even contacting the Japanese high-level, but the effect is not good, but I didn't expect to see it here, and the shadow can really be described as a relief in the snow.

However, for such a level of top-secret information, the headquarters will definitely inquire into the source of the information to determine its authenticity, how should we answer? ”

"Just answer truthfully!"

Xia Deyan's face was straight, and he said categorically: "The situation of the shadow, Comrade Qingshan was reported to the headquarters before, the situation was special at that time, the shadow of the previous one suddenly died, and after the interruption of contact, there were major crises one after another, and the coincidence caused the current situation, and later the headquarters also recognized this way of working, and the facts have also proved that the value and role of the shadow is irreplaceable, and this one-way way of working can better ensure the absolute safety of the shadow, and the headquarters can understand it!" ”

Xia Deyan has absolute trust in the shadow, he and the first two shadows are comrades-in-arms who have fought together for many years, sharing life and death, needless to say, the feelings between each other, it is this shadow, and he has been responsible for the connection from the beginning, the contribution that the shadow has made to the organization over the years, he knows better than anyone else, so any skeptical remarks about the shadow are never allowed.

When Lin Hanwen heard this, he quickly explained: "Lao Xia, you know, I didn't mean that, these situations have already been notified when Comrade Qingshan turned the relationship between you and the shadow around, of course I have no objection."

It's just that the performance of the shadow is really a little incomprehensible to me, you and I are engaged in intelligence work, you can tell me, what kind of identity can do this, can continue to raise huge amounts of money behind enemy lines, collect top-secret intelligence in all aspects, and even in the headquarters of agent 76, it only took less than a day to organize a rescue, and Wutong, whose identity was leaked and was tightly detained, didn't you find the problem in this?

The energy of the shadow is far beyond our imagination, almost every intelligence can refresh our understanding of him, to be honest, in fact, in my feeling, the shadow is not like a person at all, a person can never be so comprehensive, the shadow is more like an organization, an organization with excellent intelligence activity capabilities, only in this way can it be explained! ”

Lin Hanwen actually had a guess about the shadow for a long time, and today he simply told Xia Deyan what he thought in his heart.

After listening to Lin Hanwen's words, Xia Deyan was silent for a long time, and finally just spit out a sentence: "But the loyalty of the shadow cannot be questioned!" ”

"Of course, I definitely didn't doubt what he meant!" Lin Hanwen hurriedly nodded and said.

"If such a comrade is also suspicious, then our work is meaningless! In fact, I have a guess that the shadow is likely to develop the downline on its own, and he has the strength and financial resources, and it is not difficult to do this. ”

Xia Deyan was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought about it in this regard.

At this time, Lin Hanwen continued: "However, Lao Xia, I still have to repeat the old words, we don't guess his true identity, but at least there must be a two-way contact channel, even if it is just an emergency contact channel, so that the two sides can better cooperate with each other." ”

The topic of the conversation returned to the original point, and Xia Deyan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But I don't have a chance to contact him at all, I can't wait for him to appear at the back door every night, right?" He will contact me unless it is major information, the longest time, only once after half a year, after the last rescue of Wutong, there is no contact for more than two months, there is no law at all! ”

Lin Hanwen was also helpless when he heard this, although this one-way contact way of working ensured the safety of the shadow to the greatest extent, but the poor communication between the two sides was also a lot of hidden dangers, but for a while, everyone had no good way!
