The remaining three individuals, ranked from most likely to least likely, are as follows:
"First, Ikeda Sukogen, also known as Tian Sukogen. This man is about forty years old, of Taiwanese descent, and a Japanese citizen. He is a senior advisor and chief translator at the Central China Liaison Department of the Asia Development Institute, and is highly trusted by the Japanese side."
I was passing by this phone booth in my car at the time and made a brief stop!
He graduated from Waseda University in Japan in his early years. He speaks both Chinese and Japanese like his native language. He has been involved in high-ranking military and political circles in Japan for many years and has access to the most core secrets.
Lao Qiang had listened to his speech at a Japanese coordination meeting; his voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an unquestionable sense of authority and a unique rhythm, which closely matched the characteristics in the recording provided by Deputy Station Chief Wang. His location and voice characteristics make him the most suspicious.
"Secondly, Ming, the eldest son of the Ming family, is a successful businessman who has returned from studying abroad. He is about to become a senior economic advisor to the Jinling Maintenance Association and will also have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. He also stopped here briefly that day!"
This person is elegant and articulate, with a gentle voice that carries an undeniable air of confidence.
I met Lao Qiang once under the pretext of discussing the Chamber of Commerce's security. He felt...somewhat similar, but more gentle and refined, lacking the composure and unwavering determination in the target's voice.
"Third..." Zheng Lu paused for a moment, seemingly considering his words, "Han Zhenhua, also known as Zhenhua Cole, is a dual citizen of the Republic of China and the United Kingdom. He is a lecturer at St. John's University and recently won the British Copley Prize in Physics. He has gained a reputation in the academic world, but his background and family history are difficult to ascertain."
He was accompanied by four British sailors for protection at the time, and stayed there the longest!
This person is young, only eighteen or nineteen years old. Logically, this is unlikely given the voice of a middle-aged person who has clearly been in a position of power in the recording, but...
Lao Qiang checked his immigration records and found that shortly after the incident at Shanghai Station and the mysterious phone call, he suddenly went to Hong Kong under the guise of academic exchange and has not returned since.
The timing and the course of action are highly suspicious.
"We intelligence workers never believe in coincidences!"
The so-called "coincidence" is the biggest flaw!
Therefore, it is highly likely that this person fled in fear shortly after discovering the incident at Shanghai Station!
Moreover, judging from the way Crow passed on intelligence to us several times, it was "extremely unprofessional and full of loopholes," which is very much like what he would do at the age of eighteen or nineteen, being so careless. However, he has been gone for two months now, so we cannot verify it in person. Whether it is consistent with the facts still needs further verification.
Chen Gongshu narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Tian Moxuan... Ikeda Moxuan?"
A Japanese citizen of Chinese descent, a mouthpiece and translator for Japanese decision-makers? If he truly is a "good news harbinger," then his motives become very intriguing.
Was it driven by profit? Or was there something else going on? This identity provided both an excellent vantage point for intelligence gathering and excellent cover for his actions.
"I see, a businessman with a complicated background?"
"Hmm! Isn't he the older brother of Mingtai, the top student in our Qingpu third training class, codenamed 'Third Young Master'?"
Han Zhenhua, a scholar with elusive whereabouts. These three targets are quite interesting!
What Chen Gongshu didn't know was that when he took over as the stationmaster of Shanghai Station, Dai Chunfeng had just finished dealing with the three towns of Wuchang, a task assigned to him by Mao Qi.
Coincidentally, Mao Qi only heard Dai Chunfeng mention that the crow was not related to Lin Wuyai, but did not see Lin Wuyai's true appearance in the "family portrait" photo in Lin Xiaowen's pocket watch!
Therefore, Mao Qi subconsciously believed that the portrait Chen Jianghe sketched at the "Bird's Nest" was of Lin Wuyai, who had gloriously sacrificed himself, so he did not show the sketch to Chen Gongshu!
Otherwise, when Chen Gongshu heard Zheng Luxian report that only Han Zhenhua matched the age in the sketch, he could almost immediately deduce that Han Zhenhua was "Crow"!
Zheng Lu replied, "Yes, Station Chief, Mingluo is indeed Mingtai's older brother! It's just that Mingtai's family had no idea he joined our Military Intelligence Bureau. They thought he was studying at a university in Hong Kong during his training in Qingpu!"
Chen Gongshu nodded and looked at Zheng Luxian, saying, "I commend Lao Qiang; he did a great job."
These three individuals should all be placed under close surveillance.
As for Ikeda Sugen, he is our top priority!
Try to plant informants through the Asia Development Institute or Chinese organizations he frequently contacts, and record as many audio clips as possible of his private conversations.
Ming Lou and Han Zhenhua's investigation continues as usual. Ming Lou's side has asked Ming Tai, who went to Changsha, to come back and investigate. With the influence of the eldest daughter of the Ming family in both the political and business circles in Shanghai and in the Japanese business community, I believe that she can resolve the unfavorable factors that the Japanese have against his younger brother. At the same time, I also believe that Ming Tai can take the overall situation into consideration!
On Han Zhenhua's side, immediately have headquarters notify Liu Fuqin, the station chief of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Hong Kong station. I need to know his detailed whereabouts in Hong Kong!
Use all available resources to find out exactly what he did in Hong Kong!
"Yes!" Zheng Luxian accepted the order.
Chen Gongshu walked to the window, gazing at the bustling streets of the French Concession. The fog seemed to be gradually dissipating, revealing three blurry outlines. The real "harbinger of good news" was likely among these three.
Is it Ikeda Mokugen, a Japanese-Chinese high-ranking advisor with a special identity who is deeply involved in the Japanese occupation? Is it Minglou, who is elusive and moves between various parties? Or is it Han Zhenhua, the seemingly harmless but mysterious young physicist?
He felt the excitement and tension of a hunter approaching his prey. Regardless of who the "harbinger of good news" was, Chen Gongshu had already spread his net and was confident that catching this "crow" was only a matter of time.
At this critical moment, the battlefield in Xuzhou was at a critical juncture. Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, said with a solemn expression and resolute eyes, word by word: "Telegram to Tang Enbo's troops: The 20th Army Corps must launch a general offensive against the enemy behind Taierzhuang with all its main forces before dawn tomorrow!"
Military orders are absolute, and military law is merciless. Disobeying orders and missing opportunities in battle will be severely punished as a crime of insubordination.
'
Tang received the telegram and remained silent for a long time!
At this moment, Guan Linzheng, commander of the 52nd Army, looked angry and anxious and said, "Commander, my 52nd Army requests to launch a separate attack. If we fail, I am prepared to accept military law, and I will bear all the consequences..."
'
At this moment, another new "mysterious" telegram was handed to Tang. When Tang saw that it contained only eight words, "Strive to attack and annihilate the stubborn enemy," he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Reply to Commander Li, the 20th Army Corps is ordered to attack! And will join forces with friendly forces the day after tomorrow... If it fails, I will gladly accept the military order!"
I order: Zheng Dongguo of the 2nd Division, Zhang Yaoming of the 25th Division, Wang Zhonglian of the 85th Army, Chen Daqing of the 4th Division, Zhang Xuezhong of the 89th Division, the 13th Army, Guan Linzheng of the 52nd Army, and Zhang Zhen's 110th Division to launch a full-scale attack.
