"I'm fine. How's it going? Has the Communist Party confessed?" Lu Ming asked absently.
"No, I have long said that these Communists are like stones in the pit, smelly and hard. All the tricks have been used, but it is useless. I just can't pry open his mouth." Dai Li said helplessly.
.
"Yunong, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. Torture is the last resort and the worst tactic. The best tactic is to attack the prisoner's heart." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"We have also used mind-attack tactics and done peripheral work, but with little effect." Dai Li shook his head.
At the beginning of the interrogation, Dai Li indeed adopted psychological tactics first. He even went to negotiate with Hou Liang in person and promised many favorable conditions.
The conditions should be said to be very favorable. As long as Hou Liang explains all the information he has and helps them catch the main leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee who have infiltrated the underground party, Hou Liang is guaranteed to be given a large sum of money and then sent to wherever he wants to go.
The place is secluded.
It's a pity that Hou Liang didn't buy it at all.
Lu Ming was half relieved. He came back this time mainly because of Ning Xiner's kidnapping, but he had also been thinking about Hou Liang's matter.
It can also be said that Ning Xiner's disappearance gave him the best excuse to rush back to Shanghai. As for whether he can rescue Hou Liang, it depends on the opportunity.
Since Hou Liang has persisted and has not confessed yet, it is a good sign. I believe everyone on Hou Liang's line should have evacuated safely.
"Where is this person? I would like to meet him and see what kind of immortal he is." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"It's not possible now. He was seriously injured after being tortured and has been sent to the Army General Hospital for rescue. He has been in a coma," Dai Li said.
"Oh, it's good that he's not dead. Let's wait until he regains consciousness." Lu Ming said lightly.
"Sir Lu, why did you suddenly return to Shanghai for some urgent matter?" Dai Li asked knowingly.
He had actually known about Ning Xiner's kidnapping for a long time, but he just pretended not to know.
"A good friend of mine was kidnapped. By the way, Yunong, you have many connections in Shanghai. Please help me find out who kidnapped my friend and for what purpose? If you want money, give it to me.
, have fun." Lu Ming said.
"Uh, who is your kidnapped person?" Dai Li asked hypocritically.
"You may not know this person, but you must know her brother. This person is the sister of Ning Zetao, the leader of the Cao Gang." Lu Ming said according to the rules of the scene.
"You mean the little princess of the Cao Gang was kidnapped?" Dai Li looked shocked.
"Yes, otherwise I can return regardless of the ban. If this matter is not handled properly, the consequences will be very serious." Lu Ming sighed.
"When did this happen?" Dai Li asked.
"Yunong, let's go inside and talk." Lu Ming pointed to his office.
"Sir Lu, I'm so sorry. I've occupied your office while you're away these days. You won't blame me, right?" Dai Li said with a smile.
"Yunong, what you said is that every part of the Fuxing Society is your territory. It doesn't matter whether you occupy it or not." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"You can't say that. Now that Chief Lu is back, I will go to Weng Bailing's office, or ask him to arrange another office." Dai Li said humbly with a smile.
"No need. I have to investigate this kidnapping case these days. I guess I won't be able to come to work for a while. You can just use this office."
Lu Ming really didn't want to stay here to work, so he had to immediately find out where Ning Xiner was.
The two walked into the office while chatting and laughing.
Secretary Liu Qiwen made tea for the two of them with ease and then went out.
Lu Ming has given her a holiday. As long as Lu Ming doesn't come to see her these days, she won't have to go to work and can arrange her own time freely.
"Yunong, have you heard nothing about Gang Leader Ning's sister being kidnapped?" Lu Ming asked.
Lu Ming and Dai Li were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea from teacups.
"Sir Lu, I really don't know at all. I have been busy with Hou Liang's case these days and have never left this building." Dai Li said hurriedly.
Lu Ming looked at Dai Li. The person he suspected most after hearing this was Dai Li. His intuition was that Dai Li had done something secretly. But after being ambushed by Ozawa and others today, he felt that the Japanese were more likely to commit the crime.
But he still felt that Dai Li was the most suspected mastermind.
Otherwise, he would not have returned to Fuxingshe Shanghai Station, but would have gone directly to Caobang.
Lu Ming came to the station first, just to feel Dai Li's bottom and see if this matter had anything to do with this old fox.
"Sir Lu, you are the most well-informed person on the ground in Shanghai. Where do you think we are most likely to attack?" Dai Li also looked at Lu Ming and asked.
"I think the most likely people are from Mantie." Lu Ming said thoughtfully.
"Mantie? Could they do such a thing?" Dai Li asked puzzled.
"It was just speculation before, but now it is almost certain that they committed the crime. On the surface, they kidnapped Gang Leader Ning's sister, but in fact they were targeting me." Lu Ming said.
"Aimed at you? What do you mean by this? Does Mantie have a deep quarrel with you?" Dai Li looked confused.
"They wanted to attack me in Nanjing but couldn't get a chance, so they wanted to use this method to transfer me out of Nanjing and then ambush me halfway. Yunong, let me tell you, I almost didn't see you this time." Lu.
Ming sighed.
"The more you talk, the more complicated it becomes. What's going on?" Dai Li really didn't understand this time.
"On the way back, I was ambushed by Manchurian Railway agents. The entire army was almost wiped out. Unfortunately, two brothers from the headquarters died in the line of duty." Lu Ming said with a heavy tone.
"What? How dare the Japanese do this? Are they going to rebel?" Dai Li was really shocked this time.
"Yunong, you and I don't know yet. The Japanese don't rebel any day. They do all kinds of tricks on our land. Which one of them has obeyed our laws?"
Lu Ming knew that Dai Li was also a militant on the issue of Japan, but because of Mr. Chiang's so-called "macro strategy", he had been holding back and not having an attack.
"But, how dare they attack you? This shouldn't be the case." Dai Li was still in shock.
Dai Li was shocked not because of anything else, but because if the Manchurian people really wanted to attack Lu Ming, they would be breaking the mutually agreed upon rules.
The Fuxing Society and even various intelligence agencies and Japanese intelligence agencies such as the Manchuria Railway also have struggles and competitions with each other, but they all abide by one rule, which is not to carry out assassinations against each other.
Once this rule is broken, it means that the intelligence agencies of China and Japan are at odds and are in a state of war and confrontation.
This was no small matter. He had to quickly find an opportunity to discuss it with the person in charge of the Japanese side. If this situation continued, he might one day become a target of assassination by the Japanese.
Dai Li was not afraid of being assassinated, but he was worried about being taken advantage of by the Japanese. In a real spy war, Dai Li was not afraid of the Japanese at all.
"Sir Lu, are you sure that Manchurian Railway agents must have attacked you?" Dai Li asked seriously.
"Of course, I have spoken with Seigoro Ozawa and Yu Ying'er from the Manchurian Railway Shanghai Operation Group. Our agents are all witnesses, and the bodies of the two brothers are irrefutable evidence." Lu Ming said sternly.
said.
Ozawa Seigoro and Yu Ying'er were lurking in Nanjing. Dai Li knew about it and knew their purpose.
Therefore, Dai Li personally talked to the senior management of Manchuria Railway and gave them a stern warning not to act rashly, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
The senior management of Manchuria Railway also issued a ban to Ozawa and others in front of him, but what he didn't expect was that Ozawa and others took the courage of a leopard and attacked Lu Ming despite the ban from senior management of Manchuria Railway.
Fortunately, Lu Ming was okay, otherwise, the agents from both sides would have started a bloody battle.
"I have to report this to Chief He immediately. The Japanese are going to stir up trouble. We can't be too polite to them." Dai Li picked up the phone.
"Chief He should know about this by now. I asked the brothers who were with me at the headquarters to return to Nanjing," Lu Ming said.
Dai Li still called He Zhonghan. He Zhonghan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Lu Ming had returned to Shanghai safely.
If Lu Ming was really assassinated by the Japanese, he still didn't know how to meet with the commissioner. Fortunately, he was not in danger.
But no matter what, since the Japanese hate Lu Ming to death, it proves that he is a rare talent for the party and state, and he needs to be protected and cultivated.
He Zhonghan told Dai Li roughly what the agents had reported to him, which meant that he was full of indignation at the actions of the Japanese.
"Sir He, we need to get in touch with Japan immediately and have a good talk with the senior management of Manchuria Railway. If they really break the rules, we can't just sit idly by and do nothing." Dai Li suggested while suppressing his emotions.
"Yunong, it's up to you to handle this matter. You are familiar with them. You have full authority to represent the Fuxing Society. Don't be polite to them." He Zhonghan said solemnly.
As long as Lu Ming is fine, He Zhonghan doesn't want to deal with such troublesome matters. Dealing with Japanese is his most taboo.
