Chapter 805: Check again for doubts
Shao Wenguang then turned the topic back to the case and asked, "Then what should we do next?"
"Of course, we still have to find out their flaws in the transportation channels." Ning Zhiheng picked up a trial record on the table and handed it to Shao Wenguang. "I just carefully read the interrogation records of these core members, especially the materials they transported from Wuhan to Chongqing, and found a problem."
"What's the problem?" Shao Wenguang asked in surprise. He looked down at the interrogation records. Many of these interrogation records were handled by him, and he did not see anything wrong for a moment.
Ning Zhiheng said: "The Fengfeng team has transported some weapons and radio stations to Chongqing before. These are all essential equipment for intelligence work, and I can also understand that it is not unreasonable for transportation. Chongqing is short of materials, so it is understandable that the intelligence team prepares some medicines for emergency response.
But starting from March this year, they transported opium seven times into Chongqing, and almost once every month. The transportation volume is quite large. Why do you think this is?"
Ning Zhiheng's inquiry made Shao Wenguang stunned. He quickly looked through the interrogation records, and sure enough, the opium had been mentioned on several records.
He hurriedly looked up at Ning Zhiheng and asked in confusion: "This is indeed strange. What does the Japanese mean?"
Opium is opium, a cancer in modern Chinese history. It has been banned for a long time. Now it has become increasingly serious. Opium is sold everywhere in the country, and opium-smoking tobacco restaurants are spread all over the country, especially in southwest China.
In Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Sichuan, opium is flooded, and many warlords cannot pay military pay, so they replace it with opium, which directly causes the military's combat effectiveness to decline. The people in their jurisdiction must forcefully plant poppy, and the tax paid for growing grain is far higher than the tax on growing poppy, forcing many civilians to grow poppy and boil opium.
Ophiopogon is like a flood in Sichuan, flooding and flooding. There are tobacco shops everywhere, as many as cows, and this is even more true in Chongqing because of its huge profits and is a huge profit-making industry. Almost all gang forces, gang forces, and even local forces are operating tobacco shops.
The problem Ning Zhiheng mentioned is here. Ophiopogon is not an exotic product. Ophiopogon is produced locally in Sichuan, and the output is large.
At this time, the price of opium is not very high because it is flooded everywhere, otherwise so many people would not have sucked it. Especially in Sichuan, the origin of opium, the local price of opium is relatively cheap.
So the Japanese don’t have to take such a big risk. They only need to spend a little money to buy locally.
Shao Wenguang was also aware of these situations. He thought for a moment and said in confusion: "You suspect that this is not an opium, but the confessions of these people are said to be an opium, and they did not have the opportunity to share the offerings before."
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that the Japanese spy's internal workers have made it clear that the trade wind team is only responsible for the transportation channels. The Wuhan headquarters transported other important items, but because of the confidentiality, they did not tell them the real situation. They just used opium as the name. The trade wind team did not dismantle and inspect the goods privately. They thought it was opium, so the confession was consistent.
The second possibility is that the item itself is indeed opium, but this opium is different from ordinary opium and must have its own special purpose. Otherwise, the Japanese would never travel thousands of miles to transport ordinary opium into Chongqing.”
Shao Wenguang thought carefully and suddenly said, "Do you think it's 'big soil' or 'Yinnan soil'? These two opiums have the best quality and are both the best among opiums. The places in Sichuan and Shu are sold in "chuan soil". The quality is much different. Japanese people have important uses for these top opiums."
The so-called "big soil" is the "paitouna soil" produced in India, commonly known as "big soil". It was produced in India. When it was imported into China, it was made into a large ball style. It was yellow-black in color and soft in texture. It was wrapped in tobacco leaves. It is the best among opium, with high quality and of course the price is also high.
Yinnan soil is the best among domestic Yunnan opium, with the best quality, good color, fragrance and taste. It is known as the "king of kings". People who are fond of opium call it "smell the fragrance in half a mile, and three mouthfuls are worth one ounce", but it is also very expensive.
As the name suggests, Sichuan soil is produced in Sichuan Province. It has a high yield, but its quality is not high, it is quite toxic, and it is harmful to the human body. However, it is cheap, and even smokers of ordinary people are happy to smoke.
In addition, there are many kinds of opium. Due to the different origins and different quality, the Japanese also planted poppy in the Northeast to make opium. They are called "border soil", also known as "east soil", and are produced in Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces. The Japanese sold the pilled opium all over China to make huge profits.
Ning Zhiheng didn't understand the situation of the opium. He thought about it for a while and pondered for a moment and said, "It is very likely that they may use this top-quality opium to buy or control the goal of rebelling. This is also possible. But I don't know very well how addicted this opium is and whether it can reach the level of controlling people's hearts. This needs to be investigated carefully."
Ning Zhiheng was silent for a while, after careful consideration, he said flatly: "I will go and re-interrogate these major members. If I really want to figure out what they are transporting, this must be a breakthrough!
You check out the places they explained. Their confession said that the placement was prepared by the other party every time. They left the items at the placement point and did not meet. The placement point of the opium was at No. 46, Zuoma Street, Zhaojiagang. You can take a look. During the time period of delivery, who is the right to use the house? Is it the owner or the tenant? These are all very critical clues. In short, we must figure out everything. We must follow this line and find the Japanese spy organization. As for the same sentence, we must move quickly!"
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Ning Zhiheng no longer had any delays, so he immediately rushed to the interrogation department and re-examined the main members such as Dai'anhe.
"You explain to me, and the confession said that in addition to weapons and radio stations, you have transported opium seven times in the past six months. What kind of object is the opium here?"
Ning Zhiheng looked at Diane River. If anyone in the Tradewind Team knew the real truth, then Diane River must be the one. He is the supreme commander of the Tradewind Team and knows the most secrets.
Dai Anhe looked at Ning Zhiheng and shook his head repeatedly, denied anxiously: "It is indeed an opium. This is how the telegram from the headquarters notified me. I did not open it to confirm. The opium smelled very much. Moreover, because of the safety of transportation, the packaging was very hidden every time. It was wrapped in oil cloth and sealed into the wooden box. I did not open it and check it, so I arranged to deliver it immediately."
Ning Zhiheng smiled coldly and asked, "Didn't you be suspicious when you send some opium in from thousands of miles away?"
