Dai Li looked at Weng Bailing and said, "Stationmaster Weng, Chief Lu has some questions about your actions at Paramount that day. Please explain."
Weng Bailing looked at Lu Ming, who was sitting grandly next to Dai Li, and felt the urge to draw a gun, but he really didn't dare. The punishment he received last time for drawing a gun was too severe.
Needless to say, if he makes the same mistake again, as long as he does any inappropriate behavior, it cannot be solved by being demoted to acting station commander. He may really be beaten to the bottom and sent to the front line to serve as cannon fodder.
"Sir, I don't know if you have any questions?" Weng Bailing pretended not to understand and sounded strange.
"Last time we got information that agents of the Communist International were secretly meeting with the Shanghai underground party at Paramount. You brought more than a dozen brothers to stay there that day. Please tell Chief Lu about the situation at that time." Dai Li
He spoke, deliberately not mentioning Ning Xiner's kidnapping.
"Yes, sir." Weng Bailing answered Dai Li's question, but glanced at Lu Ming.
"Then let me ask you, according to the accounts of Sakurako Tsuneki and Rin Kawaki who pretended to be staff at Paramount, they did not find anyone from the Fuxing Club that day, so I am very confused about where your people were that day.
?" Lu Ming asked sharply.
"I was just leading the team that day, how to stay on guard, the task was not assigned by me, so I don't know exactly who is in what position." Weng Bailing kicked the ball away indifferently.
"You don't know? Well, where were you at that time?" Lu Ming continued to ask.
"I was drinking on the table outside the dance floor and didn't move. It wasn't until someone shouted that Miss Ning had been kidnapped that I took someone over to check." Weng Bailing said.
"Oh, that's it, then who assigned the task for the day?" Lu Ming asked again.
"This... I don't know. I was just acting as a liaison officer that day to prevent any conflicts with people from other departments." Weng Bailing looked at Dai Li and said.
"Why is there such an arrangement? As far as I know, there are very few people from the law enforcement department dancing in Paramount. Even if there are, it's just one or two, so there won't be any conflicts?" Lu Ming frowned and looked at it.
To Dai Li.
Dai Li hurriedly said: "This is what happened. After I got the secret report, I heard that someone from the brother department would also be there to perform the task. In order to prevent misunderstandings, I decided to let Station Commander Weng lead the team there. This is considering the people from the brother department.
Do you know him?"
Lu Ming looked at Dai Li and then at Weng Bailing, and sneered in his heart. He clearly smelled a lie.
Dai Li has always said that this information is top secret, so it should be from a single source of information. How could it be known to other departments? Unless someone provides information to several intelligence departments at the same time, is this possible?
There are quite a few informants in the Fuxing Society who provide tips to several companies at the same time in order to get an extra reward, but intelligence officers will never do this.
Intelligence officers may even act as double agents, but if a piece of information is sold to several brother departments, it becomes a joke and they will be immediately removed from the organization.
This is the most common common sense in intelligence work. Lying like this shows that Dai Li has no choice.
"Ahem, maybe I'm overly worried, because the brothers I brought here are all from Nanjing and are new to Shanghai. I'm also worried that they are not familiar with the local area, and I'm afraid that they will conflict with people from the brothers' departments, just in case.
." Dai Li said with a smile.
"Well, it's always good to be more prepared." Lu Ming agreed.
He didn't want to ask any more. If he continued to ask, he would only get falsehoods and perfunctory answers. Neither Dai Li nor Weng Bailing would tell him the truth.
However, he still believed the confessions of Sakurako Tsuneki and Rin Kawaki, that is, they did not see any agents of the Renaissance Club at the Paramount Ballroom that day.
Dai Li's attitude is very clear. I just lied. As for why I can't tell you the truth, it's better that you don't know. You can't find out other problems through this lie. It's that simple.
When the matter reached this point, the three of them had nothing to say, because the two sides were already on opposite sides of the matter.
Lu Ming believed that there were only two possibilities for Dai Li and Weng Bailing to lie to him.
The first possibility is that what Dai Li said about agents from the Communist International coming to contact the Shanghai underground party is true, but this matter has a deeper secret. In order to keep this secret, they lied.
The second possibility is that Dai Li merged with the Japanese.
There is only one possibility for Dai Li to join forces with the Japanese, and that is with the support of Mr. Chiang. There is only one possibility for Mr. Chiang to support him on this issue, and that is that China and Japan have reached a joint anti-communist agreement.
In order to evade tracking, Lu Ming spread the word that the arms theft was a joint effort between the Japanese Communist Party and the Korean Communist Party. Perhaps the Japanese believed it to be true.
Under this premise, the merger between the Japanese and Dai Li has a certain degree of credibility. Is the kidnapping of Ning Xiner the first product of the joint anti-communist agreement?
Lu Ming didn't know that his guess was basically close to the truth, but he couldn't prove it.
Every other day or two, An Yi would come to the teahouse opposite the White Swan Hotel to drink tea for half a day.
She would change her outfit every time she came to drink tea. The only things that remained unchanged were the white straw hat on her head and the pair of black sunglasses.
She sat by the window and observed Hou Liang's travel patterns.
Usually Hou Liang hardly leaves the hotel door. Only his son and his wife come out several times a day, followed by an agent from the Fuxing Society.
That child was at an active age and couldn't stay in a small hotel room. He always ran out to play football or buy ice cream or hawthorn cake.
Hou Liang will go to the Army General Hospital for treatment every two days. When he comes out, he will be supported by two agents, and an agent will guard and protect him in front. This agent is also the driver.
They got in the car outside the hotel gate and drove straight into the Army General Hospital.
The Army General Hospital is a hospital that specializes in treating soldiers. It is not open to the public, so you can't get in without a military ID. An Yi gave up the idea of starting at the Army General Hospital.
Now it seems that the only opportunity to take action is the minute or so between Hou Liang leaving the hotel door and getting in the car.
An Yi was thinking in her mind that if Hou Liang walked out of the hotel door, she would immediately step forward and kill the security agent first, then kill the two agents who were supporting Hou Liang, and kill Hou Liang with a final shot.
At this time, the agent who was protecting Hou Liang's woman and child would run out after hearing the sound. Maybe she would have a chance to confront the agent.
Who can survive depends on the speed and accuracy of the shot.
All these are just best assumptions, in fact the problem is not that simple.
Judging from the time, it seems to be in time. The question is how can she get close?
The spies protecting Hou Liang are very alert. Once someone approaches, they will instinctively reach for the gun. This means that once she appears in their sight, she will face three spies with guns.
.
She wasn't sure she could kill three agents in one go.
What if you use a submachine gun?
This seems to be a solution, but submachine guns are difficult to obtain, and submachine guns, unlike pistols, can be hidden in handbags.
She had to go there with her gun in hand. Maybe the agents would notice her before she could get close and then retreat to the hotel to defend her position. In just five minutes, the security company from the Army General Hospital would arrive to support her.
An Yi also thought of a long-range sniper method. She could hide from the eyes of the tea house staff and go up to the roof to observe.
If you are on the roof and use a rifle to snipe, you may be able to kill Hou Liang with one shot. As for the agents, you can kill them or not.
She has been comparing several action plans in her mind, thinking about it, but she can't decide which one to implement.
When he came back in the evening, An Yi discussed the feasibility of these plans with Mr. Dong, but Mr. Dong rejected them all.
Mr. Dong believes that all three plans have some potential uncertainties and are too dangerous to implement. Besides, where can I get a submachine gun?
There is a principle in anti-rape work, which is that it must be done under the premise of absolute safety of our personnel. If there is danger, then we can only continue to wait for the opportunity.
Because the target of rape is fixed, the means to complete the task of rape are flexible and there is no rush for one time and one place.
An Yi suggested that sniping Hou Liang on the roof of the teahouse was a safe plan, but it was not easy to get a high-quality sniper rifle at this time.
"In fact, the easiest way is to get a car, and I will drive you. When Hou Liang goes out, I suddenly drive over and stop in front of their car. You get out of the car and drive directly to Hou Liang, and then I
I will drive you away from the scene quickly," Mr. Dong said.
