After a day and night of surprise interrogation, all those arrested had completed the preliminary interrogation, and the results were just as Weng Bailing expected, no one was suspected of being a communist.
Most of them had stable and reliable social relationships and clean backgrounds. What no one expected was that the Communist Party did not catch them, but instead solved several other cases.
Some are smuggling and trafficking, some are drug trafficking, and there is even a party organization that has set up a company.
"The gangsters have opened companies? Shanghai is really a model of advancing with the times." Lu Ming felt incredible after hearing this.
"That's it, what do these people think? Have they forgotten that the monk can't escape from the temple if he runs away? The White Party wanted to shoot and change places, but they have established a base." Zhao Yuanliang, who was in charge of the interrogation, also said with a wry smile.
.
"Then transfer it to the police station. We won't get involved in this kind of case." Lu Ming said.
"Yes, but we have confiscated a lot of money this time. They are all from illegal smuggling, drug trafficking, and opening up the White Party's black accounts. What do you think of how to deal with these money? Don't you need to hand it over?" Zhao Yuanliang asked.
"It's nothing to hand over. The brothers worked hard to solve the case. How can you get this money and hand it over to them? Just treat it as payment for the hard work of the brothers." Lu Ming said.
Zhao Yuanliang was so happy. When did he fight to the death? This is too exaggerated. He just entered the building and arrested a few people.
"President, this... money is too much. Will there be any trouble if we divide it privately?" Zhao Yuanliang asked a little worried.
"Then it will be divided into four parts, one for each of the three locations, and one for the Second Operations Brigade. It is up to them to decide how each location and the Second Operations Team deal with it." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Hey, the president is really generous." Zhao Yuanliang admired him.
He originally thought that Lu Ming would confiscate the money and use it for office expenses, but he didn't expect that Lu Ming wouldn't take a penny and distributed it all to his subordinates. This was hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, not a small number.
"By the way, Chief Weng needs to prepare one, so I won't need it." Lu Ming added.
"You don't have to ask, how can we forget such a good thing, sir? Why don't you want it? Just take what you should take." Zhao Yuanliang said puzzled.
"To tell you the truth, I really don't like this little money." Lu Ming said bluntly.
Zhao Yuanliang grinned and walked away. He also wanted to be a rich man, thinking that one day he would be able to say to hundreds of thousands of silver dollars that I don't like this little money.
Lu Ming went back and continued to study everyone's confession transcripts. He wanted to see if he could find any clues about Rongcheng Company in these transcripts. If he could see it, others would be able to see it sooner or later.
After reading all the transcripts, he sighed, even though none of the transcripts could prove that Rongcheng Company was an underground party organization of the Communist Party.
However, some clues can always be found in the fragments of transcripts. When put together, they form a complete pattern: Rongcheng Company is the headquarters of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee, an underground organization of the Communist Party.
Of course, this also has something to do with his preconceptions, the so-called "guilty conscience", but if you meet a serious person who will not let go of any clues and ask to the end, you may actually find out something.
Lu Ming was both relieved and a little worried. He was relieved that these people evacuated in time and escaped from the tiger's mouth; he was worried that these people would not be able to enter Shanghai in the future.
They will be blacklisted by all law enforcement agencies in Shanghai. Once they show up in Shanghai with their original identities, they may be discovered and arrested.
Lu Ming hesitated whether to tell his findings, but finally decided not to hide it. Even if he didn't tell it, people like Zhao Yuanliang would find the connection between the records, and finally be able to piece together a complete picture. There was no point in hiding it.
meaningful.
Since the comrades of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee have evacuated, there is no problem with their safety now, and they will not appear in Shanghai again in the future, so delaying time makes no sense.
At the Fuxing Society's intelligence meeting in the evening, Weng Bailing had a gloomy face and stared at everyone present like a hawk, as if these people were all underground party members.
"This operation of ours has been a huge disgrace. In the end, not even a drop of rain fell in such a vigorous operation. This is not because the thunder is loud but the rain is small, but because there is thunder but no rain." Weng Bailing stood up and said angrily.
"Webmaster, you can't say that. At least we still have one tracking target, which is the temporarily closed Rongcheng Trading Company." Zhao Yuanliang said.
"What does Rongcheng Trading Company have to do with our case? Director Zhao, failure is failure, don't find other excuses to deal with it." Weng Bailing immediately went crazy.
It was Zhao Yuanliang who first proposed to investigate Li Fusheng himself, and then this action was taken.
Weng Bailing regretted that he was so impulsive that he personally led the Second Operation Brigade to rush in to arrest people. This matter should have been left to Huang Yanning, but he was too eager to win.
Now that the operation has failed and cannot be explained to the Nanjing headquarters, we have to find a scapegoat. Zhao Yuanliang's position is neither high nor low, and he follows Lu Ming closely. There is no more suitable scapegoat than him.
Although the scapegoat he most wanted to introduce was Lu Ming, he also knew that the failure of just one operation could not shake Lu Ming's foundation, so it would be better to concentrate on getting rid of Zhao Yuanliang.
Zhao Yuanliang also felt that something was wrong. What did this bastard Weng Bailing mean? He wanted to put the responsibility on him!
What does failure mean? Failure is failure. Don’t make excuses. Isn’t it clear that he is responsible?
It was obviously Weng Bailing who made the decision to seal off the building and arrest people, and he also led the people to rush in. Now he refuses to admit it? Do you want to pass the blame to others?
Zhao Yuanliang remained silent and looked at Lu Ming, hoping that Lu Ming could say some fair words to him.
Except for Lu Ming, no one dared to speak for him at this time.
Whoever takes over the conversation at this time may become the target of Weng Bailing's attack. He is already looking for an opponent to kill like a hungry wolf.
"Sir Weng, I think this operation was not a failure, but an unprecedented success." As soon as Lu Ming opened his mouth, his words shocked everyone and everyone was stunned.
"Unprecedented success? Did I hear you right? Not a single person from the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party was caught. How can this be called a success? Commander Lu, are you kidding?" Weng Bailing was stunned for two seconds and immediately asked.
"Of course I won't make fun of such a big thing. It is true that no one from the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party was caught in this operation. However, through this arrest operation, we have been able to confirm that the Rongcheng restaurant that was temporarily closed and left.
The trading company is the headquarters of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee, the underground organization of the Communist Party of China." Lu Ming said loudly.
As soon as Lu Ming said this, the crowd was in a state of excitement, and they all exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Qiwen couldn't help but applaud. She was now willing to risk everything and stood firmly on Lu Ming's side.
Lu Ming's voice echoed in the conference room. It was as if a big boss was giving a speech with the demeanor and pomp. The people below could only look up and listen.
"This...how did you see this?" Weng Bailing's voice suddenly dropped an octave, and he asked in surprise.
"In fact, it's not difficult. Of course, there are prerequisites and you have to use your brain." Lu Ming pointed to his head and said, "As long as you read everyone's confession transcripts carefully, the truth is hidden in these people's confession transcripts."
"I have read through everyone's confessions and transcripts. With all due respect, no one's testimony can prove that Rongcheng Company is an underground organization of the Chinese Communist Party." Weng Bailing immediately retorted, obviously not wanting Lu Ming to gain the upper hand.
"So I said that you need to look carefully and study carefully. You have to use your brain. If you don't use your brain, you will definitely not be able to see anything." Lu Ming said sarcastically.
"Sir Lu, I read the confession transcript carefully one by one. Why can't I come to this conclusion? How did you come to this conclusion?" asked the Director of the Sixth Division.
"It's very simple. We interrogate everyone and ask them all the same questions. What kind of company is Rongcheng Trading Company, what business are they doing, who do they usually interact with, etc." Lu Ming began to explain.
road.
"Sir Lu, this is indeed the case. I presided over the interrogation, and everyone asked these questions." Zhao Yuanliang said.
"So every confession transcript essentially contains answers about Rongcheng Trading Company. These answers can't be revealed from any one confession alone. But when we put together the information about Rongcheng Trading Company in all the transcripts,
We can come up with a shocking answer, that is, Rongcheng Trading Company is the headquarters of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee, an underground organization of the Communist Party of China." Lu Ming said seriously.
"Since you said that, then you can summarize it for us on the spot." Weng Bailing said sarcastically.
