Chapter 79.

“Jiajun, can you get me a camera, quickly, and preferably get me at least three more rolls of film over here?” Cheng Mo quickly went out and found Lu Jiajun.

“Brother Cheng, are you onto something here?”

“Don’t ask so much, do you have a camera?” Cheng Mo asked.

“Yes, I have a Zeiss camera in my office, and the film is readily available.” Lu Jiajun said, he is a photography enthusiast, with his family history, get a camera, that’s too easy.

“Hurry up ……”

The camera and film were quickly brought, Cheng Mo once again entered Frank’s room, took the photos and the notebook, took them inside the restroom, and started shooting nervously.

If he was in the room, he was afraid that he would be discovered by the Nitte who was watching from the opposite side, inside the restroom was safer, and the light was relatively safer as well.

Frank went out at noon for a long or short period of time, if it was long, it could be two or three hours, if it was short, he would find a western restaurant nearby to have a meal and come back, so he had to race against the clock and make sure to finish the job before he came back, but also to restore everything to its original state.

Cheng Mo’s luck was still good, today’s Frank stayed out a little longer, and waited until he was all done filming, and then secretly searched the house.

After finding nothing else, he restored all the items in the house to their original state, and wiped away all the traces of entry, including the fingerprints on the doorknob, before quietly retreating.

“Jiajun, don’t mention this to anyone, including your father.” Cheng Mo reminded Lu Jiajun, “It’s not that I don’t trust your father, but I don’t want your father to get involved, if he doesn’t know about it, everything is fine, understand?”

Lu Jiajun was a little confused, but still nodded, Cheng Mo was from the Political Unit, not the same department as his father’s Criminal Unit.

What does the political unit do, he more or less knows some of this political unit Chinese into not difficult, but difficult is to promote, detective and above are British, Chinese at most deputy detective to the head, unlike the criminal unit, his father can do inspector.

In the lease Chinese arrest, can do in this position in the position of not a few people, Huang boss powerful it, he retired from the law arrest room, the last only to give an honorary inspector (in fact, is the inspector general, here are omitted, the readers do not have to pull the eyes of the lord).

The two rented areas, the Chinese inspector in office that is a phoenix feather prongs.

However, even so, the Chinese police in the Ministry of Public Works Bureau of the police department’s political status is still the lowest, and even the “red head of the three” are looked down upon.

Cheng Mo has a darkroom at home, that’s why he doesn’t have enough money to spend, to build a darkroom, the cost is not small.

But today’s film, Cheng Mo does not intend to take it all back to the printing, some things, not you do not allow to say, others will not say.

Besides, he came with Xu Qinghe today, he could only cover up part of it.

What the film had captured, he only wanted to hand over a part of it, which was Frank’s diary, and those photos he had taken, he did not intend to hand them over.

Because if this thing was handed over, it would probably sink into the sea, not even the slightest wave would turn up, and once it was leaked, he himself would be in trouble.

But the diary this thing handed in is not so risky, diary is a subjective thing, a person looking at Shakespeare’s works, there are a thousand kinds of understanding.

So while the contents of a diary are factual but subjective things, an image like a photograph is not.

Once this thing was exposed, the one who was hurt could still be himself, and on balance, the photo could not be turned over to the Powerhouse, but only to the organization.

The organization knows how to protect the source of information, and with the KMT’s infiltrated and sieve-like intelligence agencies, he is really uneasy.

Therefore, the films in his hands were separated for printing, and he intended to give the notebook to Xu Qinghe directly, using the darkroom of the Political Unit of the Police Department of the Ministry of Public Works Bureau.

Then the rest of the two rolls, he turned back to take home to wash, as for, the number of film to the number of problems.

It was all a minor flaw, and very much already figured out how to fix it.

“Jiajun, this camera is quite good, I want to get one too?” Cheng Mo returned the camera to Lu Jiajun, deliberately showing his fondness.

“Big Brother Cheng likes it, so I’ll give it to you.” A camera, to Lu Jiajun, was not much of a precious thing.

“It’s not good, a gentleman doesn’t take what others like?” Cheng Mo feigned a refusal.

“Hey, I rarely take pictures now, put it in the window at home to eat dust, and not let him add light and heat in the hands of big brother Cheng.” Lu Jiajun said with a smile.

“How much, I give?”

“Cheng big brother this is to hit me in the face, just a mere camera, can our friendship be measured by money?” Lu Jiajun said angrily.

“Then I’ll return it, with two extra rolls of blank film?”

“There’s no need to return it, I’ll get two more rolls for Brother Cheng ……”

Cheng Mo said this, the details of the two extra rolls of film used for shooting were thus covered up, even if Lu Liankui’s father and son said it later, he would not be suspected.

Xu Qinghe came back, and was following Frank.

And that Rieter also returned to Dong’an Hostel at almost the same time, back and forth, after Frank returned, he hurried back to his room.

Xu Qinghe reported the general situation to Cheng Mo. Frank went to a White Russian restaurant for lunch, very simple, and then went to the Bund alone, walked along the Huangpu River for a while, seemed to be preoccupied with the appearance of the middle of the day, and did not contact or communicate with anyone, and then called for a yellow cab back.

That day special is also all the way tracking, almost sticking, but Frank seems to have no feeling at all.

Anyway, Xu Qinghe said that this stalking Rieter was very powerful, obviously professionally trained, and was by no means an ordinary businessman.

“Lao Xu, you first take this film to be developed, expedite it, be quick, but not let a third party know the content of the film, do we have our own darkroom in the Political Unit?”

“Okay, this photo developing, I’ve learned, I’ll do it myself.” Xu Qinghe said.

“Old Xu, you also know how to develop and print photos?” Cheng Mo instantly felt that this Xu Qinghe might not be quite the same than what he had imagined.

“I learned it when I was in intensive training, the political unit’s probes all require learning one or two specialized skills, and I learned to take photos.” Xu Qinghe explained with a hefty smile.

“We still have intensive training?”

“Yes, we have it every year, there are long and short periods of time, if you don’t learn, you’ll fall behind, no.”

“Then this job will be given to you, I’ll stay here and wait to see if I can get in touch with this Frank.” Cheng Mo instructed.

“Yes, Chief Cheng, I’ll go then.” Xu Qinghe took the film and left.

Cheng Mo used the Central Hostel’s phone to make a call to Pryde and briefly reported the situation, Pryde naturally paid quite a bit of attention to it after hearing it and told him not to alarm the two sides for the time being, and that he’d come to find out the true identity of this Frank.

Not long after, Pryde’s phone call over.

This Frank is really not over the reporter, he is not only the special correspondent of the “Chicago News”, but also once served in the “New York Times”, but also as a reporter for the “Sun” and “Daily Mail”.

Most importantly, this Frank had just fled from Nanjing to Shanghai.

Fleeing, not leaving through the regular channels.

And how he escaped, Pryde did not say, anyway, the story of this must be very thrilling, really want to think about it after Frank himself know.

When Frank arrived in Shanghai, he went successively to the American Consulate to ask for help, and of course, he got some help, but for some reason, he left again.

The U.S. Consulate didn’t seem to show much concern about his departure, after which he moved to the Central Hostel and rented a room.

Then, every day or two, he would send a long-distance telegram back to the United States.

As to what the contents were, only he knew.

It must be said that the British Special Intelligence Agency’s Far East Intelligence Group still had the ability to figure out Frank’s identity in such a short time.

Frank is an American, Britain and the United States have always been one and the same, if something happens to Frank in the Concession, the Bureau of Public Works is responsible.

No matter what Frank had done in Nanking, first and foremost he was white, an American, and especially a journalist, and no one could harm him without a trial.

“Mr. Pryde, now that the Japanese have their eyes on Frank, and we still don’t know what the Japanese want from him, I think we must take decisive measures now to protect Frank.” Cheng Mo made his suggestion to Pryde.

“If we take steps to protect him, what can we do unless we get our hands on something that interests the Japanese.” Pryde said.

“Then we can secretly monitor and protect him, but just me and Xu Qinghe are only two people who are not …… enough,” Cheng Mo said.

“More people, the other side is alert, as long as the Japanese do not harm Frank, we will you do not have to do too much interference in the action.” Pryde said.

“Yes, if there is any situation, I will keep you informed Mr. Pryde.” Cheng Mo promised and then hung up the phone.

Putting in a long line, this was a common maneuver in intelligence work.

Pryde’s choice to covertly monitor and protect Frank instead of directly picking him up and protecting him was also a normal maneuver.

After all, everything is still analyzing and guessing, and the Japanese Special did not take action, which shows that Frank has something that makes them want, if it is a human being, it would have already taken action, rather than monitoring and observing for so many days without action.

Cheng Mo roughly guessed what the Japanese wanted, but why they did not take action, this is a little strange.

Is it because the Central Hostel is owned by Lu Liankui, and once they make a move, they will be exposed and arrested, causing diplomatic disputes and throwing their weight around, or is it something else? Or perhaps, they are wary, after all, the Ministry of Public Works Bureau and the Japanese side of the secret negotiations have not yet reached a complete agreement, the word has not been signed, once something happens, that is not to bring the signing of a horizontal twist?

This is possible.

Thinking about it, it is these objective reasons.
