"It's hard to say what kind of person this is right now. We need to continue to conduct in-depth investigations. However, only local forces can produce so many silver coins at once." Dai Li said.
"Check, keep checking for me, Niang Xipi, if they really did it, I will destroy them even if I let the Communist Party go first." Mr. Jiang was so angry that he slammed the table.
"Committee, I don't see anything suspicious about Lu Ming. He came here just to cooperate with the investigation. Is it necessary to lock him up? He almost went crazy in the room, holding his female secretary in his arms and dancing all afternoon. This guy
He has never suffered before, so locking him up now can be considered as killing his prestige, and I think he is quite honest." He Zhonghan said tactfully.
"Do you really think this little guy has no suspicion at all?" Mr. Jiang asked.
"I feel like there shouldn't be." He Zhonghan said carefully.
"Originally, he was suspected. Based on the current analysis, his suspicions can be basically eliminated." Dai Li also said cautiously.
"Don't we have people within the Communist Party? Let them check whether Lu Ming has secretly approved it with the Communist Party. This is a matter of principle." Mr. Jiang said angrily.
"Principal, the students asked us to mobilize all the insiders within the Communist Party this time and risked revealing their identities to conduct an investigation. There is really no sign that Lu Ming has any connection with the Communist Party. Otherwise, how could I dare?
Said he could be eliminated."
Dai Li indeed used his secret intelligence system to conduct a thorough investigation of Lu Ming from all aspects, but only found out that he was known as the number one playboy in Shanghai.
Neither the Communist Party nor Japan has any traces of his activities. In other words, the Hongkou bombing and the Japanese arms warehouse hijacking case are indeed related to him, but there are no clues that he is a communist.
"I'm still worried if they continue to investigate," Mr. Jiang said.
"Commissioner, is it necessary to treat Lu Ming so specially?" He Zhonghan felt that the chairman's approach was a bit excessive.
"You don't know, I have high hopes for Lu Ming, and I will reuse him in the future. But if the doubts about him are not completely cleared, will I dare to reuse him? I will lock him up for a few days. If anything happens to him, it will mean that we
If the lock is correct, if he is fine, just think of it as a training exercise for him." Mr. Jiang said.
"It turns out that the principal wants to reuse Chief Lu and temper his temperament. He has really good intentions. Chief Lu should be satisfied." Dai Li suddenly realized.
"It's not just that. I always feel that there is something puzzling about this little guy. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. He is a young man who doesn't have much experience and doesn't have much scheming. But why do I just feel that there is something about him?
It seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog." Mr. Jiang said worriedly.
"I think he received an American education, is a bit free and loose, has personal heroism, does whatever he wants, and lacks organizational concepts. I commented on him yesterday, and he admitted his shortcomings," He Zhonghan explained.
"Well, let's just talk about this incident. He was the one who provided funds to Jin Jiu, his men were the ones who robbed the arsenal, and he was the one who hired the ship. He didn't report to the Ministry of National Defense and gave the arms to Kang Ze on his own.
It was him who ended up with the arms being delivered to the Communist Army. His shadow was everywhere in the whole incident. Can you say that he was not suspicious at all?" Mr. Jiang said with a frown.
"There are reasonable explanations for these doubts." He Zhonghan argued for Lu Ming.
"Yes, there are reasonable explanations. If there are no reasonable explanations in one or two places, it will be fine. It's a bit scary just because there are reasonable explanations." Mr. Jiang said with a heavy face.
"Principal, what do you mean..." Dai Li bowed and asked.
"What I mean is, if these reasonable coincidences are arranged in advance, and you can prove that this is the case, then it is worthy of attention." Mr. Jiang said.
"No, principal, Lu Ming definitely doesn't have such a high level. I don't mean to underestimate him. If I were asked to arrange such an operation, I wouldn't be able to do it." Dai Li said with a bitter smile.
"Of course Lu Ming is not at this level, but what if there is someone behind him?" Mr. Jiang said meaningfully.
"You don't... doubt President Sheng, do you?" He Zhonghan almost frightened him out of his wits.
"Of course Lao Sheng is not a Communist. He is the most resolute and pure supporter of the Three Democracy Principles. Jing Jiang (Zhang Jingjiang) and I are both witnesses to this." Mr. Jiang waved his hand.
"Then...it's Mr. Wang?" He Zhonghan even shuddered.
"What are you thinking about? Although Zhaoming has trouble with me in everything, he has the same firm determination as me in anti-communism." Mr. Jiang said with certainty.
"That's..." Dai Li didn't dare to say anything.
"I don't know who this person is, or whether this person exists, but what if there is such a person? Of course I don't believe it or even don't want to believe it, so I have to find out." Mr. Jiang said.
"Understood, students will definitely get to the bottom of it." Dai Li promised.
Dai Li knew very well that even if such a person existed, he would not be able to find it out. But what the principal requires of people is attitude, and ability comes second.
"You go ahead. Lu Ming should be detained for a few days. If you have nothing to do, you can go see him, talk to him, and learn more about his situation." Mr. Jiang finally ordered.
He Zhonghan and Dai Li walked out of Mr. Jiang's office with deep thoughts.
The two of them were walking side by side in the corridor. Dai Li said worriedly: "It seems that Commander Lu is a little sad at this level."
He Zhonghan smiled and said: "Yunong, you are worrying too much. Why hasn't President Sheng shown up yet? He hasn't even made a phone call. They are giving us face and they also firmly believe that Lu Ming is fine. If President Sheng
Are we in trouble now that we are here today?"
"That's right, I still think too simply." Dai Li said a little embarrassed.
"By the way, what's going on with Weng Bailing at Shanghai Station? He seems to be a little unhappy with Lu Ming." He Zhonghan said.
"I'm not very clear about the conflict between Weng Bailing and Lu Ming." Dai Li said with a bitter smile.
"You are in charge of all sub-stations, how could you not know his situation?" He Zhonghan said in surprise.
"Weng Bailing's situation is special, and the situation at Shanghai Station is also special. I seem to have heard that the principal personally arranged a top-secret mission for Weng Bailing. Maybe because of this top-secret mission, Station Commander Weng and Chief Lu didn't want to deal with it."
"Top secret mission? Oh, it's possible." He Zhonghan understood immediately.
The committee members are suspicious and often send people to perform special tasks. In fact, they are conducting continuous and long-term surveillance and tracking of other people.
The heads of local forces are surrounded by people placed by the Fuxing Society who are performing such secret tasks. He Zhonghan knows this pattern very well.
It turns out that the committee has already suspected Lu Ming. I hope this is also a test and training, rather than a real suspicion.
He Zhonghan just said that Lu Ming was fine, but now he is a little worried. It seems that he can't say anything.
He originally wanted to ask Dai Li why he had spent so much money in the past two months and whether he could save some money to support the special operations of the Shanghai Station, but he forgot all about it.
The next day, Shenbao was the first to publish a piece of news: Lu Ming, a special correspondent of the Washington Post stationed in Shanghai, was arrested without reason by the Kuomintang government. The foreign press corps jointly lodged a solemn protest to the government.
At the same time, Nanjing's "Central Daily News" published a message: The Consul General of the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai has lodged stern representations with the Republic of China government to protest against the government's unreasonable detention of U.S. citizens, which seriously undermines the principle of press freedom.
The message also stated that the U.S. State Department had officially sent a note to the government of the Republic of China, requesting the government to either immediately produce conclusive evidence that American citizen Mr. Lu Ming had committed a crime, or to release him immediately.
The news also said that the U.S. State Department is deeply concerned and worried about this incident. If the matter is not handled properly, it will seriously affect the relationship between China and the United States.
Yuan Ziyuan went back and told Sheng Muyi that Lu Ming was taken away by the military police. Sheng Muyi immediately reported to her father. Sheng Youde asked about Lu Ming's recent situation and then gave Sheng Muyi face-to-face instructions.
The next day, Sheng Muyi made a special trip to the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai and submitted a written request to the consul, hoping that the U.S. government would intervene in the matter.
When the consul heard that Lu Ming had been arrested by the authorities for writing several news reports that exposed the reality, he immediately became furious.
Lu Ming's American teacher Frank once asked the consul to work for him. Lu Ming, the special correspondent of the "Washington Post" in Shanghai, is his favorite student. I hope Mr. Consul will pay more attention to him.
