Watching Wu Shicai leave, Luo Xingchao immediately picked up the phone: "Yuan Feng, come over now." ”

Soon Cui Yuanfeng rushed to the office, closed the door tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Director, is there something?" ”

Luo Xingchao came to the window, looked at the back of Wu Shicai who left in a hurry downstairs, recounted the conversation just now, and said in a deep voice: "Wu Shicai, this guy is not acting normally, I see his eyes flickering, Sheng Zhiyuan's death made him so nervous, there must be something in this, you arrange someone to keep an eye on it, maybe you can catch his handle this time." ”

"Yes!"

Cui Yuanfeng nodded and agreed, thought about it and then said: "Wu Shicai's biggest weakness is greed for money, this matter must be related to money, such a big stall in Huxi is handed over to him to manage alone, there are huge benefits in it, will there be a problem?" ”

"Clever!" Luo Xingchao nodded Cui Yuanfeng with his hand, and said with a satisfied smile, "Do you know why Sheng Zhiyuan went to the concession?" ”

"Why?"

"He's going to speculate on stocks! In the six months since the outbreak of the European war, the stocks of foreign companies have risen all the way, and now the rich people in Shanghai are swarming into the exchange on Erma Road, and many people have made a lot of money, according to Zha Yutang, Sheng Zhiyuan has also made a lot of profits during this time, I estimate that Wu Shicai and him also have financial connections, you can start from this aspect, and check it well. ”

Cui Yuanfeng's eyes lit up, his brain turned quickly, and he quickly understood what Luo Xingchao meant, and analyzed: "Are you saying that they are likely to join forces to speculate in stocks, Wu Shicai invested money in Sheng Zhiyuan, yes, it should be like this, this guy will never let go as long as he has a way to make money, now that he is so profitable in stock speculation, he must be greedy, and the exchange is in the concession, Wu Shicai is the big boss of No. 76, and the target is too ostentatious, so he doesn't dare to show up in the concession, so he will operate through Sheng Zhiyuan?" ”

"This idea is very reliable, I guess nine times out of ten it will be the case!" Luo Xingchao said approvingly.

The gambling and drug business in Huxi is the main source of funds for the activities of the No. 76 Agent Headquarters, and the operation of the business is controlled by the local Youth Gang disciples.

Wu Shicai, as Li Zhiqun's number one confidant and the leader of the Green Gang, has been in charge of this aspect of management, and these businesses have brought huge profits to the secret service headquarters every month.

Part of this money was handed over to the General Affairs Office as the operating funds of the entire organization, and part of it was collected by Li Zhiqun, Wu Shicai and others for their own use.

Of course, Li Zhiqun will definitely take the lion's share here, and senior cadres like Wu Shicai and Luo Xingchao also take a part of each according to their rank, but Wu Shicai, as a direct manager, naturally has a lot of benefits, but Li Zhiqun also acquiesced.

Luo Xingchao never cared, he took as much as he gave, but this time Wu Shicai's abnormal reaction made him feel that this time might be a good opportunity to hit Wu Shicai.

You must know that although Luo Xingchao temporarily replaced Li Zhiqun to preside over the work, in fact, Wu Shicai held the operational power and financial power of the secret service headquarters in one hand, which made Luo Xingchao naturally dissatisfied in his heart, if there was a chance to get rid of this stumbling block, of course he would not let it go.

"By the way, these days have passed, how is that matter investigated? Hasn't he been identified yet? ”

The thing Luo Xingchao asked was naturally the mysterious man who was detained alone by Li Zhiqun in the backyard of No. 76, because there was too little information, and the investigation of his identity had not been going well, and Luo Xingchao couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Cui Yuanfeng hurriedly replied: "This matter has already been a little eyebrow, we have confirmed his identity, but it will be a little difficult to trace it down!" ”

Luo Xingchao's spirits perked up, it had been a long time since this task was handed over to him, and there was finally good news coming, he hurriedly said: "Oh, talk about it!" ”

Cui Yuanfeng reported in detail the investigation during this time, it turned out that Cui Yuanfeng secretly sent someone to take a photo of the middle-aged man according to some previous information, and found several of his contacts on the black market back then, and it took a lot of work to finally be recognized by an acquaintance, this person was Feng Sinian, who was a broker in the Shanghai black market two years ago.

Luo Xingchao asked suspiciously, "Feng Sinian?" A black market broker who has disappeared for two years, why did Li Zhiqun arrest him? ”

"According to our investigation, Feng Sinian had been working for an arms dealer before his disappearance, doing some errands, but suddenly disappeared two years ago, and I am ready to continue the investigation along this line."

"Arms dealers? Who is it? ”

"It's an American, everyone in the line calls him Phillip, we continue to investigate, only to know that it is the public concession, the military attache of the US consulate Phillips, this person specializes in smuggling high-end arms, and he can get any kind of weapon, but he rarely shows up, unless he is an old man in the black market, he doesn't know this relationship at all, I judge that in the two years that Feng Sinian disappeared, he must have something to do with his boss, as long as you investigate Feng Sinian's whereabouts in the past two years, you can know why Li Zhiqun arrested this person, What are their intentions? ”

Luo Xing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to investigate Phillips next?" That's the military attache of the U.S. consulate? Our people can't go deep into the concession, let alone investigate American diplomats. ”

Cui Yuanfeng nodded and said: "Phillips's situation is special, he is an American diplomat, it is difficult for us to get in touch, I am now going to send some eyes and ears from the Green Gang into the concession, but I estimate that the effect is not great, and it is easy to startle the snake by doing so, so ......"

"Okay, we don't have to do anything in the concession." Luo Xingchao waved his hand to interrupt Cui Yuanfeng's words, "Don't forget, we are not fighting alone, the Intelligence Bureau has enough strength in the concession, and it is more convenient and safer for them to investigate, I will report this matter to Shangfeng, and your investigation will end here!" ”

The concession area has always been the weak link of the 76th agent headquarters spies, all kinds of anti-Japanese organizations are entrenched here, and even the Qinggang Tangkou in the concession has no good impression of the Japanese and the puppet government for various reasons, and it is too difficult to continue the investigation, Luo Xingchao decided to terminate the investigation, so far, Cui Yuanfeng's actions are not small, and it will be a bit risky to investigate further.

"You bring me Feng Sinian's photo, and I'll hand it over to the Intelligence Bureau together, we shouldn't make too big moves at this stage."

"Yes!" Cui Yuanfeng led the order and retreated.

Two hours later, Luo Xingchao went to his dedicated contact point and handed over the results and photos to the liaison officer.

He had been working under the leadership of Yi Hua'an before, and the information of the liaison officer was also handed over to Yi Hua'an, but Yi Hua'an and Ning Zhiheng went to Nanjing together, and in order to facilitate contact, he temporarily handed over the contact channel to Zuo Gang, who was still lurking in the city, and Zuo Gang and Luo Xingchao had also cooperated several times, and he knew that there was an inside line in the secret service headquarters.

Zuo Gang did not dare to delay after receiving the information, and entered the public concession as soon as possible to report to Huo Yueze.

When Huo Yueze knew about these situations, he was also a little surprised, how did the matter involve Phillips?

Of course, Huo Yueze knows that Phillips is by no means just an arms dealer in the black market, he has a more secret identity, that is, one of the very important members of the Shanghai intelligence network, with a large number of precious intelligence resources in his hands, the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau has to reach a huge deal with this person every year, the two are very reliable business partners, and now that the matter involves Phillips, Huo Yueze has to be vigilant.

He looked at the photo in his hand carefully and muttered to himself, "Don't say it, this person is really familiar!" ”

Feng Sinian in the photo looked haggard and his image was very depressed, but Huo Yueze vaguely saw some familiar outlines, but for the intelligence network, the most familiar situation was Ji Hongyi, and he immediately called Ji Hongyi over.

Waiting until Ji Hongyi hurried over, understood all the situation, took the photo and carefully identified it, and finally nodded and said: "Although the image has changed a lot, I can still remember this person, when we first bought TNT explosives from Phillips, it was this person who pulled the thread, but later we didn't need this person in our transaction, and we didn't see each other again, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of No. 76 now." ”

"It's really him!"

Huo Yueze let out a breath, his face was a little unkind, he had only seen Feng Sinian two years ago, when in order to blast the Fukuoka warehouse, he found Phillips through the black market broker Feng Sinian, and now when he heard Ji Hongyi's words and confirmed this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

He walked around the house twice with his hands behind his back, always feeling uneasy, Li Zhiqun always had a reason to arrest Feng Sinian, things were done so secretly, and it took all these twists and turns, what was Li Zhiqun's purpose? His eyes looked at Ji Hongyi and asked, "You say, why did Li Zhiqun arrest such a person?" ”

Ji Hongyi knew what Huo Yueze was worried about, and said comfortingly: "Section chief, don't worry, this Feng Sinian is just a little person who pulls the strings, I don't know anything specifically, we had limited contact with him twice, and we didn't show our identity, and Phillips won't be disproportionate, and he won't leak our identity." ”

Although he knew that what Ji Hongyi said should be right, when he first contacted Feng Sinian, he was just to buy arms and explosives, and later Phillips recognized their identities, which introduced them to the intelligence market, and Feng Sinian should not know their identities.

But Huo Yueze was still a little uneasy, he shook his head and said, "There is no harm in being careful!" If we are not in Shanghai now, we will have one less talisman, and if we are negligent, it may lead to a big mistake, so I will immediately make an appointment with Phillips to learn about the specific situation of Feng Sinian, and I feel that Li Zhiqun's target is likely to be us, and we must prevent it from happening. ”

Huo Yueze has shown enough attention to this information, he has always been cautious in doing things, and he never takes risks, which is also one of the reasons why Ning Zhiheng values him.
