Chapter 218 Codename "Hidden Snake"
The Fifth Column is a top-secret organization and its name will not appear in any telegrams.
Xiang Chu's focus was still on the telegram from his hometown.
Even a seemingly useless telegram is the key to uncovering the traitor.
In many telegrams, the agent code-named "Hidden Snake" appeared many times.
The content published involves military deployment, personnel and equipment status, and even leadership travel, etc.
On the day when the "Cuckoo" incident occurred, a telegram was sent to notify important leaders to appear at Tongfu Inn.
And one of them even involves himself: The "Phoenix" is very likely in Nanjing!
"Oh my god! This 'Hidden Snake' is so scary."
Xiang Chu was extremely shocked. No wonder the Party Affairs Office always kept a close eye on him because he was too outstanding.
He picked up the box of telegrams, prepared to spread it out on the lunch box, take a picture, and take it back for careful examination.
"Are you done eating?"
Kong Ling's voice suddenly sounded.
Needless to say, she was still a little worried.
"All right!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly got up and went to the door.
Unfortunately, both of them were traveling at a fast speed and collided with each other.
He held her tightly to prevent her from falling, a little too closely.
"Hate!"
Kong Ling said softly and coquettishly.
Her face flushed with shame, she gently pushed him away, turned around and closed the door.
Xiang Chu hurriedly put the telegram box back to its place, picked up the lunch box and walked out of the room.
He laughed heartily and said, "It's my turn now."
"I lost everything, you come!"
Ning Caiwei smiled bitterly and quickly gave up her seat.
She picked up the lunch box and said with a smile:
"I'll help you take care of it, and you can come to my office to get it later."
"Okay! I'm done."
Xiang Chu said with a smile.
He covered himself with a veil and began to draw cards.
Wang Manxue asked curiously, "Kong Ling! Why is your face so red?"
Kong Ling asked anxiously: "How could it be?"
Xiang Chu hurriedly changed the subject and said mysteriously:
"Three young ladies! You will never imagine what kind of Japanese spy I caught today."
Wang Manxue patted his face and shouted, "Don't keep me in suspense! Tell me now."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "If you change your position every day and always take photos of one side of your face, your face will become crooked."
This made the three girls look at his face, Song Xi asked in confusion:
"Hey! Why is there lipstick on this side of your face?"
Kong Ling hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped him clean, a blush appeared on her face.
It was so tacit that the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"I just bumped into Kong Ling when I went out."
Xiang Chu did not hide his true feelings, changed the subject, and said vividly,
"This morning, I suddenly had an idea and took two Taoist subordinates home. I caught a master from the 'Nine Chrysanthemum Sect' in the sewer. He was holding a black skull in his hand..."
He used the voice of a drama actor to describe the process of catching Pinggu Jusanlang in the morning, and the three women listened with great interest.
Wang Manxue asked with great interest: "What happened next?"
"They killed him and sent him to the Military Intelligence Department. Dainong was very happy, saying that they had found evidence that the 'Nine Chrysanthemums' faction was invading China."
Xiang Chu smiled, played a card and shouted:
"fifty thousand!"
"Bullshit!"
Kong Ling said happily.
Song Xi and Wang Manxue looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
What it means is: If these two continue to develop, it will be very dangerous.
Shanghai, the Japanese Special High Section.
Zheng Zhili entered Awei Wenzhi's office with a folder of telegrams.
He took out the telegram and handed it to Awei Wenzhi, saying in a very sad tone:
"Section Chief! According to the report from the Military Intelligence Department's insider codenamed 'Fatty', Hirayama Jusanro, who was harassing Miss Yunzi, was killed by China's ace agent Xiang Chu."
Awei Wenzhi took the message and laughed:
"Really? Chiyo-kun! Don't be sad, haha!"
Zheng Zhili said respectfully, "Yes! Congratulations to the section chief for eliminating a love rival."
Awei Wenzhi patted his shoulder and said happily:
"Chiyo-kun! I especially like subordinates like you who don't like Miss Yunzi."
"I don't like women!"
Zheng Zhili said with a smile, and quickly changed his words,
"I like reading. Books can bring you a golden house and a beautiful woman."
Awei Fumio nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Yes! Very good. When my niece Mako comes over from China, I will introduce her to you."
Zheng Zhili pretended to be excited and said, "Section Chief! Miss Mako will come from China?"
Awei Fumio nodded and said, "Yes! She will first follow Master Minamoto no Akiyoshi to Dalian in the northeast, and then go to Shanghai from Dalian alone."
Zheng Zhili pretended to be extremely excited and said, "Section Chief! When will Miss Mako arrive in Shanghai? I will prepare many gifts for her, and I will strengthen my training to make her fall in love with me."
Awei Fumichi looked at the calendar and smiled, "She said she wants to go to Shanghai to celebrate the Chinese New Year's Eve."
“That was February 2th.”
Zheng Zhili said with a smile.
I cursed inwardly: In 1873, you felt you had grown powerful enough, so you don’t celebrate your ancestors’ Spring Festival, but celebrate New Year’s Day instead.
Awei Fumio thought for a moment and ordered, "Chiyo-kun! Send a telegram to Fatty and ask him to eliminate Xiang Chu as soon as possible."
Zheng Zhili said, "Section Chief! According to my night observation of the sky, no generals have fallen in the direction of Nanjing. So many imperial agents have failed in their attempts to attack Xiang Chu. It is better to hide 'Fatty' and use him when you need him most."
"It makes sense!"
Ah Wei Wenzhi deeply agreed with this and praised:
"Zhili! It seems that you are very knowledgeable since you read ancient books every day."
Zheng Zhili said modestly, "Mr. Section Chief, thank you for your praise! I will take my leave and go read a book."
Awei Wenzhi nodded and said, "Very good! I like young people like you who love to study."
Nanjing, south of Qixia Mountain.
Xiang Chu and Liu Zhengxiong dug out Yu Niansheng's body.
Liu Zhengxiong put on Yu Niansheng's burial clothes and said bitterly, "How despicable! He fired 10 shots."
"Don't worry! We will kill Lin Xi, Wang Li and Hua Kui sooner or later."
Xiang Chu said coldly, let's see if Yu Niansheng left any relics.
In the end, he simply found a suicide note from the sole of Yu Niansheng's shoe and put it in his pocket.
The two of them worked busily to put Yu Niansheng into the coffin, and then erected a tombstone after burying him.
Finally, the two of them paid tribute at the grave.
Before leaving! Xiang Chu glanced at the stone tablet, which read:
"Empowered by son-in-law Xiang Chu on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month of the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China."
He shouted, "Old Liu! Why are you setting up the monument like this?"
"Boy! Didn't you always call Lao Yu father-in-law in the warehouse?"
Liu Zhengxiong said unhappily, started the engine, waved his hand,
"Alright! Don't let Brother Yu walk unsteadily all the way, get in the car!"
"I surrender to you!"
Xiang Chu was speechless.
Liu Zhengxiong teased, "Boy! If you don't marry Xiaowan in the future, Brother Yu will come up from below to settle the score with you."
"You!"
Xiang Chu didn't know what to say to him.
Late at night, Xiang Chu sent a telegram to his hometown:
"Hua Kui is a member of the White Party's 'Fifth Column'. Yu Niansheng has been killed. After investigation, it was found that there was a White Party agent codenamed 'Hidden Snake' lurking inside our party. He suspected that I was in Nanjing and revealed the Tongfu Inn...Agent No. 99."
Xiang Chu sent out all the telegrams that "Hidden Snake" sent to the White Party headquarters.
Not long after, he received a reply from his hometown, which he quickly translated. The message showed:
"The information is very important, be careful!"
Ning Caiwei said excitedly: "I hope my hometown can identify the 'hidden snake' as soon as possible."
"Don't worry! Master and the others are very powerful."
Xiang Chu smiled and lit the telegram paper.
At this time, the radio signal sounded again.
"This is from Zheng Zhili. I'll come."
Ning Caiwei said anxiously, and hurriedly sat down in front of the radio to transcribing.
She translated the message, handed the message paper to Xiang Chu, and said in surprise:
"Zheng Zhili said that my brother will go to Dalian with Yuan Mingyi before the New Year."
Xiang Chu glanced at the telegram and said happily:
"Great! I'll go to Dalian and rescue our brother."
Ning Caiwei said with great concern: "This must be very dangerous."
Xiang Chu lit up the telegram paper and said with a smile, "I have already done my homework, don't worry! It is better to go to Dalian to rescue people than to go to the devil's country to rescue people."
Ning Caiwei hugged him tightly and cried, "Brother Chu! I am actually very conflicted."
Xiang Chu comforted him: "With my ability, rescuing our brother will definitely not be a problem."
Ning Caiwei didn't say anything, feeling very conflicted.
Because of Xiang Chu, the purchase of new aircraft was re-discussed in a meeting.
Xiang Chu attended the meeting again and argued his case.
Finally, under the pressure from his wife, it was decided to be Hawke 3.
Because it was all about nepotism, the "parasites" in equipment procurement were only given warnings and criticism.
Although Xiang Chu was praised, he also aroused hatred and no longer trained pilots.
He walked out of the meeting room and saw that it was already noon, so he went to Kong Ling's office and prepared to go into the archive room again.
Kong Ling said with a smile: "Today, the three of them are going to a meeting. Let's go climb Purple Mountain at noon."
"Okay!"
Xiang Chu reluctantly agreed and asked doubtfully,
"Where did the three of them go to have the meeting?"
Seeing that he cared about the three of them, Kong Ling said unhappily:
"It looks like some kind of mountain. Let's go."
"I hope we don't meet on Purple Mountain."
Xiang Chu pondered inwardly and followed her out of the telecommunications office.
