Chapter 793 British Spy
"Of thirty people, only eight are left?"
Dai Li looked at the list reported by Meng Shaoyuan and frowned.
Less than one third, is this elimination rate too high?
"Mr. Dai, originally according to my intention, only three people were fully qualified." Meng Shaoyuan replied: "But thinking that Mr. Dai was in urgent need of people, we carefully selected five. Although there are not many people, please Mr. Dai
Don’t worry, the strength of these eight people is completely greater than that of thirty people, and they can complete the deep infiltration mission."
"I hope so." Dai Li's eyes were still fixed on the list: "What about the twenty-two people who were eliminated?"
"There are nine people suitable to be captains."
Not suitable for deep lurking, but not necessarily unsuitable for the position of chief. Dai Li, who has been in officialdom for a long time, knows this very well.
"There are still ten people who can lurk as businessmen, porters, etc. Although they are unable to complete confidential tasks, they are still capable of delivering ordinary information." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "As for the remaining three people, Mr. Dai
, I think they will rebel sooner or later."
"So sure?"
"It is a conclusion obtained after analysis." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "We do not have such conditions yet, but sooner or later, there will be a dedicated analyst in the organization to analyze the character of the agents, the success rate of performing tasks, and
Guarantee in all aspects. An agent will have a huge team behind him to serve him in the future."
This day will come soon.
Sooner or later, the days of lone heroes will pass.
To be honest, Dai Li didn't really believe what Meng Shaoyuan said. A huge team only serves one person? So how big will this organization be?
However, he believed Meng Shaoyuan's vision: "Then according to what you said, I will make new arrangements for everyone. These three agents who may rebel will never be reused."
The fate of the three people was decided in these few words.
Outside the house, a shrill air raid siren sounded again.
"Mr. Dai, the Japanese air force is attacking, please go to the air-raid shelter and take shelter."
"It's okay." Dai Li was as calm as when he was on the dock that day: "The target of the Japanese planes is not me. What's more, the Russian pilots we have worked hard to invite back will help us drive away the Japanese planes.
Nothing to make a fuss about. This time you came to Wuhan and accomplished several things, especially the case of Sun Liangqun surrendering to the enemy."
Meng Shaoyuan sneered in his heart.
Sun Liangqun was wrongly accused. He knew this, Dai Li knew it, and most people knew it, but no one dared to say a word for him.
It's a kind of tragedy to be a human being and reach this point, right?
"Sun Liangqun, I am sending people to step up the interrogation." Dai Li took out a telegram from the drawer: "Take this telegram and take a look."
Meng Shaoyuan received the telegram.
This telegram was actually sent to Chen Cheng, Chairman of the Hubei Provincial Government, and the sender was Wu Tiecheng, Chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government and Security Commander.
The content of the telegram was related to Japanese spies. However, the main character mentioned in the telegram was a British man, an agent in Shanghai. He later went to Guangdong, and recently arrived in Wuhan, where he continued to prepare
Go to Chongqing.
The telegram claimed that Bailifu had recently been in close contact with Japanese spy agencies and was suspected of engaging in espionage activities for Japan. He hoped that the Hubei Provincial Military Government would investigate.
Chen Cheng immediately reported the telegram to the Nationalist Government, which immediately ordered the military commander to cooperate with the Hubei Provincial Government to conduct a strict investigation.
Bulliver?
As soon as he heard this name, Meng Shaoyuan immediately thought that this person was not a great spy, but he caused a diplomatic dispute between China and Britain.
Foreigners in this era have a special privilege in China: consular jurisdiction.
Consular jurisdiction is a system in which a country exercises jurisdiction over its own nationals in the territory of another country in accordance with its own laws through consuls stationed abroad. This is an extraterritorial right and an illegal power enjoyed by imperialism in colonial countries.
privilege.
In modern times, China has successively obtained consular jurisdiction from more than 20 countries, including Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Germany, Japan, Austria-Hungary, and Italy.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the great powers still enjoyed this privilege in China.
It is precisely because of the existence of this privilege that Japan has developed some third-country personnel with consular jurisdiction in China to provide it with information on China's military, political, economic and other aspects.
Even if the perpetrators are caught, China cannot take harsh measures casually. The "Bai Liver Spy Case" in Wuhan is a typical example.
"We will cooperate with the Wuhan Police Headquarters Inspection Division." Dai Li retracted the telegram: "Originally, your mission in Wuhan has been completed, and I want you to go back, but this Bailifu is from Shanghai, you
Just try hard again."
"Shanghai has such a large population, how can I take care of it?" Meng Shaoyuan muttered.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I will try my best to complete the task." Meng Shaoyuan quickly changed his words: "Mr. Dai, as long as Bailifu is still in Wuhan, it is not difficult to catch him. However, it is too troublesome to cooperate with the Inspection Office. Let me complete it alone.
Bar."
"No, this is a personal instruction from above." Dai Li refused, but then he said calmly: "The person who specifically contacted the Inspection Office is He Zhiyuan. You are not from Wuhan. Everything you do is done privately.
Yes, I don’t even know.”
"Understood, Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan immediately became energetic: "Within three days, I will solve this case."
Dai Li had no doubts about Meng Shaoyuan's speed in solving the case: "Speed up the speed. There will be a plane to Chongqing in a few days. Let your family go with the plane. I will help you make arrangements."
"Thank you Mr. Dai."
Meng Shaoyuan was immediately overjoyed. It was a quick way to fly directly from Wuhan to Chongqing.
"There's one more thing you have to remember." Dai Li made a special statement: "In this critical period of the Wuhan defense war, the most important thing is unity. Don't cause any trouble for me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Dai, I will be careful."
"Okay, this is all the information we can get related to Bailifu. You can take it with you and read it on the way."
…
As soon as he came out of Dai Li's place, Meng Shaoyuan drove directly back to Zangyun Garden, called everyone out, and asked them to prepare and fly to Chongqing in a few days.
These women like Cai Xuefei are still a little reluctant to leave.
After this separation, I don’t know when I will see my man again.
"I immediately sent a telegram to Chongqing." Qiu Xingchang said quickly: "I asked them to pick him up at the airport."
"No." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "The telegram is likely to be intercepted by the Japanese. If they intercept it in the air, something could easily happen. Chongqing is the rear area and is very safe. Besides, there is no need to get it for my family.
Raise troops and mobilize the masses."
"Then you are going back to Shanghai?" Cai Xuefei asked reluctantly.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Don't worry, when I have time, I will definitely go to Chongqing to see you. Qianyi, when they arrive in Chongqing, all arrangements will be left to you and Qiu Xingchang."
"I know." Shang Qianyi nodded: "You can rest assured that you are in Shanghai."
"Director Meng, Deputy Section Chief Wang is here."
When Meng Shaoyuan heard this, he immediately let several women in.
Wang Nanxing was in high spirits when he came in.
Sun Liangqun, who had been in trouble with the Action Section, finally fell, and the Action Section no longer had to be so aggrieved.
It can be said that Section Chief Meng came to Wuhan just because he had a solution, and he solved Sun Liangqun's problem in a blink of an eye.
From now on, follow Section Chief Meng seriously and you can’t go wrong.
"Deputy Chief Wang, we just received a new order." Meng Shaoyuan didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point: "We want to arrest a British man named Bailifu. He used to be in Shanghai, then went to Guangdong, and now he is in Wuhan. He lives in
It’s unclear where it is. It’s unclear what the specific mission is. It’s also unclear when it’s going to leave Wuhan.”
How to check?
Meng Shaoyuan was confident: "According to the information we have so far, it is the first time for Bailifu to come to Wuhan, but he has several friends in the banking industry. According to normal thinking, he is likely to seek refuge with his friends in Wuhan.
From his point of view, he would definitely find a place with a lot of foreigners. Firstly, it would be convenient to hide, and secondly, he would be protected by his foreign status if he encounters danger."
"Jingming Building in Special District 3." When Wang Nanxing heard this, he immediately blurted out without having time to think: "Jingming Foreign Bank was originally run by the British, and was later rented by Huabi Bank. Most of the people living there are British. According to your thinking, they
There is a high possibility that he is hiding there."
"Immediately send someone to keep an eye on Jingming Building."
After all, the assistance of the locals was still needed. Meng Shaoyuan immediately ordered: "Once you discover the whereabouts of Bailifu, don't act rashly. Keep an eye on him. Remember, if you are not sure, you must not take action. After all, he is British."
"On your own land, you have to look forward and backward to arrest someone." Wang Nanxing also sighed helplessly: "A few days ago, an American was caught taking pictures in a military restricted area, which immediately caused a protest from the U.S. Consulate.
The only solution was to let him go, and what was even more ridiculous was to return his camera to him."
"Deputy Section Chief Wang, pay attention to your wording." Meng Shaoyuan reminded him in particular: "Negotiations with foreigners are the government's business. We just need to do our part."
"Yes, Chief Meng, I was wrong."
"The Inspection Division of the Wuhan Police Command also participated in the detection of this case." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Try to avoid conflicts with the Inspection Division. In extraordinary times, unity is the priority."
"I understand, Chief Meng, I know Director Li from the Inspection Department, and we have a good relationship with him. If we really want something, there is still room for maneuver."
"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan felt relieved after hearing this: "Gan Ning, you cooperate with Deputy Section Chief Wang in the operation. During the operation, Deputy Section Chief Wang will take the lead."
"clear."
