In 1929, a doctor in Shanghai hastily forwarded a piece of information to Chen Geng through an intermediary. Chen Geng opened the note and immediately issued an order, asking the members of the ** Special Branch to immediately prepare to eradicate the traitor Bai Xin.
Speaking of which, Bai Xin has disappeared for a long time, and since Peng Pai and others were killed, this traitor has never shown his face again, and under the protection of the Kuomintang, he has remained incognito.
And the clues on this note show that in the evening of a few days, he will secretly go abroad, and if he is allowed to escape, then Peng Pai's blood feud can no longer be avenged.
So what did Bai Xin do back then?
It all started one night on August 24, 1929. That night, Peng Pai, Yang Yin, Yan Changyi, Xing Shizhen and other four people came to the house of Bai Xin and his wife, they are all members of Shanghai Special Branch, and they got together to discuss the work matters for the next month. Among them, Peng Pai still came on behalf of ***.
Originally, everything was going well, and everyone didn't notice anything wrong. However, a few hours later, several cars suddenly entered the courtyard, and at that time, everyone was keenly aware that this might be the secret service coming to arrest it.
As a result, everyone in the house tried to escape through the window or back door. But it was too late, the spy came very suddenly, everyone was completely unprepared, and the spy was ecstatic when he saw Peng Pai.
Peng Pai is a key wanted criminal on the Kuomintang side, and now, they can get a reward. Subsequently, everyone was arrested, including Bai Xin.
**。Upon learning that the comrades had been arrested, ** and Chen Geng were so anxious that they immediately contacted the underground party organizations in various places, hoping to spend money to count Peng Pai and others out of prison. On the other hand, Chiang Kai-shek learned that Peng Pai had been captured, and immediately ordered the spies to torture Peng Pai, and hoped that Peng Pai would make a public statement and leave the party organization.
However, in the face of the enemy's coercion and temptation, Peng Pai would rather die than give in. A few days later, Chiang Kai-shek thought that these men would not give in, and since this was the case, it was better to kill them to prevent future troubles.
So, on August 30, Peng Pai, Yang Yin, Yan Changyi, and Xing Shizhen were killed in Shanghai. Before they died, they still sang the "Internationale" and never bowed their heads to the enemy.
When the news came, ** and Chen Geng were grief-stricken. Peng Pai is an important member of the party, he has always been very cautious, and the people who went that day were all comrades from within the special department, and it stands to reason that the spies will not find out.
**After analysis, it is believed that the spies were able to arrest Peng Pai so coincidentally, it must be because they have an internal response, and this internal response should exist between several people who held a meeting that day.
But is this true? Will anyone sell their secrets to the enemy for their own selfish gain?
Originally, ** didn't have a clue, after all, everyone was arrested. However, after the list of executions on August 30 came out, ** had a number in his heart, all four people died, but Bai Xin and his wife were nowhere to be found.
Since the enemy has captured them, he will not let them go easily. So, either they are in prison, or they themselves have already taken refuge in the enemy.
** I also contacted the underground workers in Longhua Prison and asked them to help investigate. As a result, ** was shocked to learn that Bai Xin had been secretly released from prison a few days after he was arrested, and now he is staying with the Kuomintang spies.
On September 4, when he was secretly investigating the matter of Bai Xin, the Kuomintang suddenly issued a notice in the newspaper, saying that Bai Xin, as a former Communist Party person, had now "abandoned the secret and turned to the light", and was now in Nanjing, receiving Chiang Kai-shek's commendation.
Combined with the previous evidence, and then look at this report, it has been determined that Bai Xin is the traitor who betrayed everyone that day!
Since it is him, it is necessary to get rid of him, otherwise the traitor will reveal more secrets and kill more comrades. However, if he really went to Nanjing, should he go to ** to arrest him?
**Soon found Chen Geng to discuss this matter.
After analysis, the two came to a conclusion, that is, the information in this report is not entirely true, and Bai Xin's rebellion is undoubted. However, he certainly did not go to Nanjing, but should have stayed in Shanghai, hiding somewhere.
Since Peng Pai and others were arrested, Shanghai Tek has also strengthened the monitoring of information, if an acquaintance like Bai Xin suddenly appears, our party will definitely be able to hear the rumors.
Moreover, with the behavior and style of the Kuomintang, if Bai Xin had arrived in Nanjing safe and sound, then Chiang Kai-shek would definitely publish propaganda in the newspaper with great fanfare, and even come forward in person to express his attention to Bai Xin, and by no means simply publish an announcement in the newspaper as it is now.
This doesn't look like a show-off, but rather a deliberate attempt to mislead us into thinking that Bai Xin is no longer in Shanghai.
We cannot fall for the Kuomintang, and the focus of finding people should still be within the urban area of Shanghai. It's just that the scope of this target is too large, and people come and go in Shanghai every day, so how easy is it to find someone who is deliberately hiding?
And what's even more troublesome is that Bai Xin himself is a special branch insider, and Bai Xin knows the identities of many secret intelligence agents placed by our party in Shanghai. Therefore, even if we send someone to investigate, we may be surprised.
Collin. ** I asked Chen Geng, in Shanghai, are there any intelligence officers that Bai Xin doesn't know, and they are more reliable? At this time, Chen Geng recommended a ** to ***, this person is named Ke Lin.
Ke Lin's external identity is a single doctor living in Shanghai, he graduated from Guangzhou Medical University, after completing his studies, he came to Shanghai alone, opened a clinic, business is not good, not bad, not noticeable.
However, he has been involved in underground work for many years, and he is still a close friend of Peng Pai.
Ke Lin had already known Peng Pai when he was in middle school. Peng Pai greatly influenced Ke Lin's thoughts, he was Ke Lin's senior, and he was also his life mentor, and it was under Peng Pai's introduction that Ke Lin gradually moved towards the revolutionary road.
However, after graduating from middle school, Peng Pai was forced to cut off contact because he was going to Japan to study.
Peng Pai. After that, Ke Lin was admitted to medical university, and he was inspired to become a doctor who would help the world. Unexpectedly, in 1920, something changed in his life.
Ke Lin was born in a wealthy but very traditional family, his parents watched their son travel and study all the year round, worried that their son would be exposed to the outside world of flowers, but he was not bound by his parents, so they decided to run a family business for their son.
Hearing his parents' decision, Ke Lin was 10,000 reluctant, as a young man with a new education, he was never willing to accept an arranged marriage. However, Ke Lin's opposition made the parents more and more convinced that they must quickly marry a daughter-in-law and tie their son's heart, otherwise it will be even more difficult in the future.
For this reason, while Ke Lin was on summer vacation, his parents directly locked him up at home, and they must let him become a relative before leaving. The attitude of his parents made Ke Lin very cold, he knew that once he accepted his parents' arrangement, his whole life might change, and this was definitely not the life he wanted.
So, one night, while his parents were asleep, he pried open the window and escaped.
Soon after, Ke Lin and Peng Pai, who had returned from studying in Japan, got together.
At that time, Peng Pai had officially become a member of the Communist Party, and when he was in Japan, Peng Pai's heart was greatly stimulated, because at that time, Japan looked down on China very much, and as a Chinese student, Peng Pai had to suffer cold eyes and ridicule from his classmates and teachers in Japan every day.
Peng Pai was depressed, he knew that the reason for all this was China's own poverty and weakness, so if he wanted to change all this, he had to change China itself and make China self-reliant.
To this end, he resolutely threw himself into the revolution. After completing his studies in Japan, Peng Pai was sent back to China to continue his revolutionary mission.
When old friends met, they were naturally very happy, and Peng Pai had the idea of introducing Ke Lin into the party organization at that time. He knew that Ke Lin was also a patriotic young man, and he was smart, tenacious, and very thoughtful, and the party organization needed such talents very much.
Soon Peng Pai warmly invited him to join the Youth League first to assist him in completing the revolutionary task together.
Peng Pai. Ke Lin was enthusiastic after hearing this, he had such an intention for a long time, Peng Pai's life in Japan was not easy, but when he stayed in China, what he saw was not full of devastation? They had a common ideal goal in mind, so soon, Colin also became a member of the organization.
But the road to revolution has never been smooth, not long after Ke Lin officially joined the party, because the National Revolutionary Army needs a lot of medical resources, Ke Lin joined the army and became a field doctor.
However, the good times did not last long, and Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 coup, a large number of Communist Party members were **, and the doctor Ke Lin, who was also a Communist Party member, also became a wanted criminal.
In order to save his life, Peng Pai could only move with some of his comrades overnight and broke away from the Kuomintang troops, and he was full of confusion at that time, not knowing what to do next. Fortunately, not long after, he received a notice from the party organization and told him to go to Shanghai immediately.
Chen Geng. This order was given by Chen Geng. At that time, due to the brutal purge of the Kuomintang, *** realized that our party must have its own intelligence agency.
For this purpose, **, together with Chen Geng and others, founded Shanghai Special Branch, an important intelligence organization, in Shanghai, and at the same time, they began to absorb a large number of intelligence talents.
Chen Geng has noticed Ke Lin for a long time, although Ke Lin is a doctor, but he has excellent investigation and counter-investigation skills, and he is low-key, whether it is within the organization or on the enemy's side, there are not many people who know him, and he is the most suitable for hiding people's eyes.
Therefore, under Chen Geng's arrangement, Ke Lin came to Shanghai with his medical license. opened a clinic, ostensibly practicing medicine, but in fact, his clinic is one of the secret intelligence contact points of Shanghai Tek.
During the period of incubation in Shanghai, in order to avoid information leakage, Ke Lin has always been in one-line contact with Chen Geng, and even *** has limited understanding of this intelligence officer. Not long after he came to Shanghai, Ke Lin learned that his old friend Peng Pai was also in Shanghai at this moment, and he was also a member of Tek, which made him very excited.
At Chen Geng's request, he did not meet with Peng Pai, although they are now on the same front, but the more people who know Ke Lin's identity, the greater the danger, and the security and concealment of the organization are the most important.
Therefore, Ke Lin decided to wait until the day of victory, and then find Peng Pai again, drink with him, and talk about the legendary experience in the past few years. But Ke Lin didn't expect that his good friend fell before dawn, and the person who killed Peng Pai was still at large.
When Chen Geng handed over the task of tracking down Bai Xin to Ke Lin, Ke Lin's eyes were full of anger.
It can be said that it was Peng Pai who changed the direction of his life, and this friend is too important to him. Thinking that Bai Xin had betrayed four comrades for the sake of glory and wealth, Ke Lin couldn't wait to directly take Bai Xin's life with one shot.
However, of course, an intelligence worker can't be so impulsive, and the first task now is to find out about Bai Xin's whereabouts.
He must still be in Shanghai, but when he will appear, no one knows, the only thing can be done is to wait.
After receiving the task, Ke Lin quickly began to use his intelligence network to track him down, but to his surprise, two days later, Bai Xin himself sent it to the door.
Maybe it's evil retribution, Bai Xin actually had a serious problem with his body after taking refuge in the enemy. Although, the enemy promised Bai Xin all kinds of benefits before, but in essence, the enemy just wanted to squeeze the use value of **.
After Bai Xin assisted the enemy in capturing four comrades, including Peng Pai, he originally expected the enemy to send him to Nanjing or any other place as soon as possible, so as not to let Shanghai Tek find out, but the enemy did not move.
Because the enemy is also afraid that something will go wrong in the middle, although they don't value Bai Xin, but if something really happens to Bai Xin, it will also hit them in the face, and the enemy thinks about it, thinking that Bai Xin can't be sent directly to Nanjing.
That's too conspicuous, it's better to find an opportunity to throw Bai Xin abroad, so that Bai Xin will be safe.
However, if you want to go abroad, it also takes a certain amount of time, and the spy also has a lot of things to do, so he can't take care of Bai Xin's side every day. Therefore, the matter about Bai Xin's going abroad has been delayed again and again, and this drag has made Bai Xin nervous, insomnia every day, and heart problems.
He originally wanted to go to the hospital to see a doctor, but considering that his defection had already caused a storm in the city, if he went to a big hospital, he would definitely be discovered by intelligence officers, so he could only find a small clinic on the streets of Shanghai.
Who knew that the sky had eyes, and the small clinic he was looking for was opened by Ke Lin.
Bai Xin didn't know Ke Lin's identity, but Ke Lin had already figured out Bai Xin's bottom clearly, this was really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it. Ke Lin turned his brain, so he asked Bai Xin to follow his warehouse to get medicine, he planned to find a place on the road where no one was, and directly kill Bai Xin, a traitor.
But unexpectedly, Bai Xin was very vigilant, he only left an address, and asked Ke Lin to go to the warehouse to find the medicine and deliver it to his house, but he himself resolutely refused to follow Ke Lin with him.
Bai Xin knew very well what kind of fate the traitor would get, so these days, he lived in the room arranged for him by the spies, and he didn't dare to go out a single step. Even if I went out to see a doctor this time, it was because there were many people on the street.
If Ke Lin does it to him now, firstly, he cannot guarantee that he will be 100% eliminated, and secondly, he will put himself in it. Therefore, Ke Lin decided to hang the fish first and slowly find out his current movements.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of Bai Xin and the spies, when he went to Bai Xin's house several times to deliver medicine, Ke Lin held back the anger in his heart and did not do anything to him, which made Bai Xin sure that this doctor should be an unrelated person.
Therefore, he faced Ke Lin and revealed that he was going abroad, and also told Ke Lin the date.
Collin. This is exactly what Ke Lin has been waiting for, he usually can't find a chance to start, but when he goes abroad, his vigilance must be reduced, so it is better to kill Bai Xin on the night when he goes abroad.
Soon, Ke Lin wrote down all the information in ** ink and asked his liaison to hand it over to Chen Geng immediately.
When Chen Geng saw this information, he quickly made up his mind that he would personally take the members of the special department to eradicate this hateful spy and avenge Peng Pai and the other four comrades.
In the middle of the night on November 11, 1929, Bai Xin, escorted by several spies, walked out of the house where he had been hiding.
Although these were exchanged for the blood of Peng Pai and others, Bai Xin didn't care at all, his heart was already distorted, he thought that after surviving this night, he would no longer have to be afraid.
Chen Geng. But at this time, in the bushes outside, Chen Geng and several comrades from Tek were holding guns and staring at Bai Xin's figure.
In the middle of the night, a gunshot sounded, alarming the surrounding spies, it was Chen Geng's gun, his marksmanship was very accurate, a bullet directly hit Bai Xin's body, Bai Xin fell in response, and then, two more bullets whistled, completely ending Bai Xin's criminal life.
After eradicating this traitor, Chen Geng quickly evacuated with his comrades, and the spies failed to find Chen Geng's trace at all, and the blood debt was repaid, which was the inevitable fate of every traitor.
