"Very good, you did a very clean job this time. I will go up to the peak to ask for credit from all the brothers when I get back." Weng Bailing said with great joy.
"But..." one person hesitated.
"But what? Are there any questions?" Weng Bailing's expression suddenly changed.
"Huang Simao committed suicide by taking poison. We only focused on arresting the suspect and did not pay attention to controlling him." The man lowered his head and said with shame on his face.
This was a mistake on their part. There should have been at least one or preferably two people guarding Huang Simao, but they all wanted to go out and arrest the Communist traffic officer.
Because directly participating in the arrest was a meritorious act, they all ran away, and something happened.
"Damn it, how do you do your work and you can't even look down on a grocery store owner?" Weng Bailing said angrily.
Huang Simao was also the main criminal they wanted to arrest in this operation. Now that he is dead, this operation can only be regarded as a regret.
Huang Yanning whispered: "Stationmaster, we can't stay here for a long time. We should withdraw as soon as possible. Don't let the Communist Party realize that this contact point has been exposed. In the future, we may be able to wait and catch a few important people."
Woolen cloth."
"Yes, evacuate quickly, leaving two people to guard here, and two more people outside." Weng Bailing said.
The group of people quickly evacuated from the alley. The traffic officer named Hou Liang had been gagged, put in a sack, and carried out like cargo.
Several cars were parked on the street outside. A group of people got into the cars and drove away quickly.
Here, there is only an empty alley and the drizzle of rain, as if nothing happened.
Returning to the Shanghai Station Building of Fuxing Society, Weng Bailing ordered the traffic officer to be taken to the underground torture room, and then took Huang Yanning and Zhao Yuanliang to the office on the top floor.
Several people came to Lu Ming's office, and there was an adjutant standing outside the door. When the adjutant saw them coming, he smiled, pointed at the door, and motioned for them to come in.
The three of them pushed the door open and saw a person sitting on Lu Ming's office chair. It was Dai Li, the director of the Secret Service of Fuxing Society.
"How's it going? Have you been caught?" Dai Li stood up and asked eagerly.
"Report to Chief Dai that one of them has been caught. Hou Liang, the traffic officer of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee of the underground party, and Huang Simao, the small owner of the grocery store, committed suicide by taking poison." Weng Bailing said, cold sweat broke out on his head.
"Asshole, with so many people watching, how could he let him commit suicide by taking poison?" Dai Li almost jumped up and patted the table.
"The traffic officer resisted arrest and resisted fiercely, so the brothers in the grocery store rushed out to arrest him. In the end, they forgot to leave anyone to watch Huang Simao. Unexpectedly, he took poison and committed suicide after his hands were handcuffed." Weng Bailing.
said.
"Has the traffic officer been searched?" Dai Li asked.
"It has been carefully searched. Even the mouth and anus have been checked. There is no poison." Weng Bailing said.
"That's good. Although Huang Simao's death is a big loss, catching Hou Liang is a great achievement. The next step is how to pry open his mouth. These Communists are all die-hards.
Molecule, you must be fully mentally prepared." Dai Li said with a cold face.
After speaking, Dai Li waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to exit and make arrangements for the torture.
Ordinarily, Dai Li did not need to come personally to take charge of the Shanghai operation, especially for such a trivial matter as arresting traffic officers.
However, this little incident is rather special. According to the intelligence passed on by insiders lurking within the Communist Party, that mysterious A seems to be inextricably linked to Shanghai.
Dai Li keenly felt that there was much to it, so he paid special attention to every case that happened in Shanghai. He hoped to find the shadow of a in a seemingly inconspicuous case.
Then he pursues him closely until a shows his true form.
Peeling off threads and cocoons is Dai Li's basic method of investigating crimes. As long as he finds a piece of thread, grasps it firmly, and tightens it bit by bit, sometimes loosening it on purpose. Slowly, he may be able to pull out an elephant.
Huang Simao Grocery Store was used as the contact point, and it was also the intelligence that had just been passed on by the insider. The Shanghai Municipal Working Committee of the underground party activated this contact point, and the intelligence was quickly grasped by the spies.
The intelligence passed on by this insider also indicated that some key members of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee of the underground party who had previously withdrawn from Shanghai had secretly sneaked back into Shanghai and were preparing to launch a major operation. The content of the operation is unknown.
It was precisely because of the combination of these reasons that Dai Li rushed to Shanghai by car and personally arranged for Weng Bailing and others to carry out the secret arrest operation.
The arrest operation went smoothly. Although Huang Simao died, which was a big loss from the perspective of completing the task, it was actually of no consequence.
According to his many years of experience in dealing with underground parties, this kind of grocery store liaison station is only an isolated existence. It has no horizontal contact with other contact points and has only a limited number of people it comes into contact with. It belongs to the edge of the entire intelligence system.
Then, the information that Huang Simao can grasp is very limited. The information that is being transmitted has been recovered from him, and the mission is basically completed.
Now it depends on what secrets can be unearthed from the traffic officer's mouth. This is the key.
In the basement torture room, Weng Bailing and others were extremely excited.
This is the first living underground member of the Chinese Communist Party that they have captured. If they can get a valuable confession from this person, it will be a great achievement.
Weng Bailing and his men did not rush in for the interrogation, but discussed the interrogation plan in a nearby room.
Dai Li had clearly told them to use as little or no torture equipment as possible, and to ensure that the person was alive even if it was absolutely necessary, and not to accidentally kill him.
Although no one knows how much secret information a traffic officer can master, he must have online and offline connections. In this way, he can follow the clues and arrest more people, and the case can be expanded smoothly until all the people on this line are involved.
Catch it clean.
Dai Li's method of peeling off cocoons, as a working method for arresting and interrogating Communist suspects, has been printed into a work outline and distributed to every member of the Fuxing Society.
"How much information do we have about Hou Liang?" Weng Bailing asked.
"Not many, but these Communists almost all have the same character. The stones in the pit are smelly and hard. This is a tough battle." Zhao Yuanliang frowned.
"Even though we have obtained important evidence, they still refuse to admit it," Huang Yanning said.
Although they have never interrogated members of the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party before, they can draw a conclusion from the experience gained from the fraternal departments. The mouths of Communist Party members are like welded together, and it is difficult to pry them open with torture instruments.
Of course, there are some special cases. A very small number of underground party members are afraid of death or cannot survive the torture, so they betray their own organization and confess to the enemy.
Gu Shunzhang is a typical representative of these very few traitors. His rebellion caused irreparable losses to the party organization.
Gu Shunzhang was the head of the Central Special Operations Section (Section Three). At that time, the "Red Team" (also known as the "Dog Fighting Team") he led was extremely active and famous. It did punish many traitorous spies and frightened the enemy.
To a certain extent, the party's losses in the white areas were reduced, and Gu Ye became an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.
On April 24, 1931, the traitor You Chongxin happened to find his former leader Gu Shunzhang in the Hankou playground.
At this time, Gu Shunzhang was performing magic on the stage under the pseudonym Hua Guangqi. He was quite proud of the applause from the audience. However, he did not notice that in a dark corner, there was a pair of special eyes watching his every move.
That night, Hua Guangqi was arrested on the spot and quickly escorted to the Kuomintang Wuhan Appeasement Office.
Before the torture was even carried out, Gu Shunzhang spoke first, euphemistically saying that he was willing to "cooperate" with the Kuomintang. Of course, the Kuomintang welcomed this kind of "cooperation."
Gu Shunzhang later confessed all the CCP secrets he had.
Fortunately, Qian Zhuangfei, who had penetrated into the Central Unification Committee and served as the confidential secretary to the spy leader Xu Enzeng, was able to obtain the top-secret information about Gu's rebellion in time and notified the Party Central Committee before the spies took action.
The Party Central Committee in Shanghai and the Jiangsu Provincial Committee thus experienced a life of escape and were able to escape this disaster.
"Deputy Station Chief Huang, you also interrogated members of the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party when you were at the Security Headquarters. How do you think they should be interrogated?" Weng Bailing asked.
"Of course, we should be polite first and then attack. We should say all the good things first, set out conditions, and strive for the other party's cooperation. If they refuse to cooperate, we can only use torture tools." Huang Yanning said.
"What if the torture tools can't pry open their mouths?" Weng Bailing asked.
"This is very common. It would be good if one out of ten Communist Party members can speak up, so let's not have high expectations," Huang Yanning said.
"How can we do that? We must pry open this man's mouth. This is the key to the secret operation of the Communist Party's underground organization in Shanghai. We must get useful clues from his mouth." Weng Bailing was anxious.
"Webmaster, of course every Communist Party member will have information in his mouth, but whether he can tell it is another matter. No one is 100% sure." Huang Yanning said calmly.
"If he refuses to say it, even if Chief Dai comes, he will not say it either," Zhao Yuanliang added.
