Chapter 1,207 Shadow Mechanism
Compared with other streets in Shancheng, passers-by here look more decent and fashionable.
The gentlemen and ladies wore the latest dresses, avoiding refugees and laborers who made a living, and were in a hurry with briefcases or mum bags.
After moving westward, in order to promote the "Three People's Regulations", the State Government issued an order to merge the original Arsenal Street, Yizhushi Street, and the Industrial Bureau Street into a new road. This is the origin of the Minsheng Road.
This road is hundreds of meters long, with a road running across it, with many bookstores on both sides and newspapers scattered.
The nationally renowned Commercial Press, Zhonghua Bookstore, Zhengzhong Bookstore, Dadong Bookstore, Kaiming Bookstore, World Bookstore, and Wentong Bookstore are all here, so the people in the mountain city also call this a book market street.
The most attractive readers is the "Xinhua News Agency" store of the former Publication Bureau Street. It not only sells newspapers, but also literary works printed on rough paper in the northwest, guiding many young students to embark on the road of life.
Naturally, this place has become a thorn in the eyes of the Fructus secret service organs. Countless spies wandered on this road, tracking and monitoring customers who came to buy books.
The next morning when the traitor left something in the ruins, Dai Chunfeng suddenly appeared on Minsheng Road. His face was covered with a beard and a felt velvet hat on his head. His walking posture was completely different from usual.
After walking back and forth on the street several times, the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau followed a group of students holding banners and walked into a magazine that specializes in publishing progressive books, called "Rain Mountain".
Several young men in work clothes saw him greeting him quickly. Dai Chunfeng nodded, walked quickly through the lively lobby, and came to an office with the president's sign and opened the door with the keys outside the room.
Looking around, an office desk and several filing cabinets filled the small office with closed blinds blocking all the light, making the room look a little gloomy.
Dai Chunfeng closed the door casually, walked to the desk and placed the briefcase on the table, turned on the green desk lamp, then sat on the chair and looked around, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
After fighting with the underground party for so many years, Lao Dai appreciates and agrees with certain confidential measures of the underground party intelligence system, such as "the three holes of cunning rabbits".
In the case of a sudden blow, whether there is a backup command system is two completely different concepts, so he fully developed the "take-taking theory" and secretly established an underground military command.
This place and the Military Control Commission headquarters are two sets of personnel, without any horizontal contact with each other, and he personally raised the personnel, equipment and funds.
If Luojiawan No. 29 is a "Ming" agency, then this place is a "shadow" agency, which is specifically responsible for tasks that are not suitable for the headquarters to come forward.
This is similar to Xu Enzeng's secret office in the timber factory, and it is even more hidden. No one would have thought that the Gorge Party secret service would hide in the path of people's livelihood full of progressive youth.
Dai Chunfeng was proud and picked up the documents and began to review them. The documents were filled with various economic, military, political and other information collected by shadow agencies.
These intelligences and the information from the Military Intelligence Department can help him fully understand the real situation. In order not to be deceived by his subordinates, Lao Dai took great pains to do so.
Half an hour later, a spy knocked on the door and walked into the office, and presented a small round iron box with a wax seal on the lid.
"Is anyone following me?"
“Report, no.”
"Yeah, you go out."
Dai Chunfeng asked a few questions without any ends and sent the spy away. After carefully checking that the wax seal was intact, he picked up a knife and pried open the lid of the box, took out a note of paper from it, and wrote a piece of information on the note in small characters of fly heads.
"The special commissioner and radio operator arrived at the mountain city from Linjiangmen ten days later, and other situations are currently unknown."
Looking at the lines of words, Dai Chunfeng frowned. It was not that he disliked the clues too vague. In fact, with time and place, the underground party sent people to Shancheng would definitely not be able to escape. At worst, all the passengers who appeared in Linjiangmen that day would be secretly detained.
What he was worried about was whether the information was accurate or whether there was fraud. After all, using fake information to identify moles is the most commonly used method by intelligence agencies.
After thinking for a while, Dai Chunfeng, who was suspicious by nature, felt that he could not be anxious, at least he should not act rashly before confirming the identity of the special commissioner and radio operator.
Anyway, if you have eyeliner, the other party is the dish in the bowl. You can move whenever you want. There is no need to ask the dock to catch people.
However, early investigations were inevitable. Lao Dai picked up the phone and connected the spy leader in the shadow agency responsible for intelligence, and asked the other party to establish a secret surveillance point in Linjiangmen to take photos of suspicious people, so as to facilitate later identification and arrest.
After receiving the order, the shadow agency took action immediately. The relevant personnel quickly formulated a plan. They first rented a private house near Linjiangmen, and two spies, one man and one woman, lived in with fake identities.
Hiding in the dark has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it has high confidentiality, and the disadvantage is that it has lost the convenience of identity and cannot get assistance from other departments.
Of course, in the government where the confidentiality system is like a sieve, this may be a good thing. Otherwise, the orders were issued in the morning, and maybe the news would be received in the afternoon of the northwest. This is another reason why Dai Chunfeng formed a shadow agency.
In the evening a few days later, the clouds reflected the sky red.
The shanty towns next to Linjiangmen are crowded with people, dilapidated houses, muddy roads, ragged pedestrians and people's livelihood roads seem to be two worlds.
A young man with a dissatisfaction among the crowd shouted loudly and kept walking through the complex and narrow streets and alleys. Finally, he climbed up an inconspicuous stilt house on wooden steps.
In the simple house, a mediocre woman is stuffing a fire box. This is the most common way for women in Linjiangmen to make a living. The men carry bricks, tiles, limes and "night fragrance" on the docks. In short, it is a dirty and tiring task.
When he walked to the window along the river, the man picked up the water and drank a large sip of cold water. He looked at the pier tens of meters away, and chatted with the woman a few words.
"Is there any abnormality?"
"In the morning, the police station registered the ID and asked us why we came to Shancheng. They were all old faces nearby and there was no suspicion."
"Then you have to be careful. The errand is very important. If something goes wrong, you and I will be unable to protect your mind."
"I understand. You said that after the mission is over, can we go to the headquarters to serve?"
"I'm afraid it's very difficult. I heard that members of the shadow agency will never be able to withdraw except for being killed."
As soon as these words were said, both of them were silent. Compared with the colleagues at the headquarters, their working environment was worse and dangerous, but their treatment was not much better, so everyone was thinking about leaving.
After a long time, the male spy got rid of his frustration, turned on the floor and took out the camera needed for the mission, and wiped it carefully. The water vapor by the river was large and the equipment must be maintained regularly.
"Tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~tap~
The sound of clappers sounded in the distance and was getting closer and closer. The male spy immediately restored the secret wall, placed a stool on it, and walked vigilantly to the window on the other side and looked outside.
Under the dim light, a man walked over with his shoulders. His hands, who should have held the shoulder pole, gently tapped the wooden clapper. He moved his body left and right and flexibly avoided the passers-by in front.
When women heard the sound of bangzi, they kept walking out of the house with oil pots. In the mountain city, the sound of bangzi represents the arrival of the oil seller.
"Oh, is the price increase again?"
After asking about the price of oil, the women condemned the oil seller in anger and tried to lower the price.
The oil seller explained with a wry smile: "There is no way, the Japanese planes explode every day, and the oil mill has broken a lot. Please forgive me."
As he said that, he put down the shoulder pole, took out the oil pickup made from a bamboo tube, and fed the oil in the pot and put it in front of the women. The transparent and clear vegetable oil smelled everywhere, and the quality was very good.
Women see that there is no advantage to take advantage. Even if the price is not cheap, you will still buy some for two taels. There is no way. The men who work in heavy physical labor at home cannot lack fuel and water.
During the transaction, the oil seller seemed to have accidentally asked if there were any residents nearby who had just moved in.
As the saying goes, seven things to do when opening the door: when you move to a new place, you always have to buy some daily necessities.
The women did not think much and immediately pointed out the locations of several new neighbors to the oil seller, including the stilt house where the men and women spies were located in the shadow agency.
Seeing someone pointing at his room, the male spy was alert and turned around to signal his companions to prepare. Once they found that something was wrong, they would evacuate immediately.
Time passed slowly, and the women who bought oil gradually dispersed. The oil seller carried a shoulder pole and walked into the stilt house, and went straight to the second floor.
Listening to the creaking sound of stomping, the male spy stopped abruptly outside the door, pretended to be puzzled and asked whom, waved his hand to signal the female spy to alert him.
"Customer, do you want vegetable oil? In addition, I want to have an excuse to drink water when I go to a expensive place." The oil seller replied with a smile through the door panel.
The male spy hesitated for a moment and opened the door. The other party's reasons were justified and very polite. If he didn't open the door, he would easily cause suspicion.
As the door opened, a strong smell of sweat came to my nose. The oil seller walked around the streets and alleys every day, sleeping in the open air, and it was normal for him to have some smell on his body.
The male spy sniffed invisible manner, held his breath and said, "There is no need for oil. I'll ask the guests to make you a bowl of water. Brothers will wait."
The female spy who pretended to be cleaning up the housework heard this and took a bowl from the cupboard, scooped a bowl of water from the water tank and handed it over. The white porcelain surface was reflected by the oil lamp.
"Thank you, thank you."
After thanking the oil seller, he raised his head and poured the water into his mouth. After drinking, he thanked the couple again. He raised his shoulder pole and walked downstairs into the night.
The young male and female spies looked at each other and at the same time put down their vigilance. The other party didn't even enter the door and did not inquire randomly. There should be no problem.
If it were replaced by the veteran spy from the Military Control Commission headquarters, they would never have had such an idea at this moment, because they had too many flaws just now.
Dai Chunfeng started the training class to form a shadow agency, which certainly ensured the purity of the team, but also caused the personnel quality to be reduced and the serious lack of practical experience.
