Of course the underground party organizations have guns, and many of them. In order to stage armed riots in Shanghai, they have hoarded many guns and ammunition, mostly rifles and pistols, and some grenades.
But now we are still in the shadow of a large-scale manhunt, and it is difficult to contact underground party organizations.
Mr. Dong went to an emergency unmanned contact point, left a message asking for help, and asked the other party to provide rifles and grenades, preferably a car, and stated that they would be destroyed after use.
After leaving the message, Mr. Dong went back and could only sit at home and wait for the news.
After Ning Xiner was released, the Japanese's pursuit of the arms theft case naturally came to an end, and the so-called Sino-Japanese collaboration against communism came to an end.
Dai Li is still staying in Shanghai. His main focus now is no longer on tracking down Lu Ming, but on cleaning up the case of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee of the underground party to see if he can dig out any more valuable information.
After all, he led the people to solve the case. Of course, he also had to bring the case to a conclusion. Unfortunately, except for Hou Liang's rebellion and several grassroots leaders' confessions, the main leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee all withstood the torture and did not confess.
.
Several main leaders of the Municipal Working Committee are from other places and have no family members in Shanghai. It is impossible to find out where their origins are and who is in their families, so the same method used to deal with Hou Liang does not apply.
"Sir, let's just shoot them all. These people are just like the stones in the pit, smelly, hard, and stubborn." Weng Bailing said to Dai Li angrily.
These days, Weng Bailing has been presiding over the interrogation and has used all kinds of torture, but has not obtained any valuable information. He really has no choice.
Watching flesh and blood flying around all day long and listening to endless screams, no matter how evil the person is, will have a shadow in his heart. Weng Bailing often has nightmares when he sleeps these days, and is constantly awakened by the ghost and the shrill cries.
In fact, using torture to torture people is not a pleasant thing. While torturing people, you are also enduring torture.
Weng Bailing always felt that he couldn't sleep alone and had to be accompanied by Song Hanyu every day. It was not that he wanted to vent, but that fear and loneliness were invading his soul.
Dai Li did not speak. He had already reported the arrests of Communist Party members in Shanghai to the committee and was waiting for instructions. Without orders from the committee, he could not shoot prisoners at will, especially important figures of the underground party.
"Let's lock them up for now. Give them some simple treatment and a better diet. We can't let them die." Dai Li thought for a moment and said.
"Sir, raising them is a waste of food. According to my humble position, I can't squeeze any profit out of them." Weng Bailing said.
Weng Bailing was eager to get rid of this case and this nightmare day. He swore in his heart that if there was another case in the future, he would never step into the torture chamber. He should leave these dirty jobs to others.
Dai Li sat firmly upstairs to dispatch and control the situation. In order to obtain some confessions to show his allegiance, Weng Bailing naturally had to do these dirty work himself.
Dai Li also wanted to get rid of this case and return to Nanjing as soon as possible. He felt uncomfortable staying in Shanghai. On the one hand, everything was not going well, and on the other hand, he felt that the situation in Shanghai was unpredictable and often frightened him.
Lu Ming forced the Japanese to release him unconditionally within three days, apologized for the kidnapping, and restored order in Shanghai to normal within ten days.
This series of magical operations once again made Dai Li feel the hegemony of the British and American powers, as well as the perfunctory attitude of the Shanghai bosses who went their own way towards the government.
Strangely, Lu Ming was able to bring together many visible and intangible forces to form a special energy.
This kind of energy makes people feel a kind of fear. Dai Li is afraid that if Lu Ming persists in his counter-investigation, one day he will find out the truth. In that case, he can only find a sense of security in Nanjing.
"What are you busy with, Chief Lu?" Dai Li asked casually as his mind wandered.
"have no idea."
Weng Bailing blurted out, and then immediately thought that he still had the task of monitoring Lu Ming, but recently he was so troubled by this case that he had forgotten the task of monitoring Lu Ming.
After being punched by Lu Ming, he felt that he had lost face at Shanghai Station and had a psychological barrier over who should be sent to follow Lu Ming.
Speaking more deeply, Weng Bailing also had hatred for Dai Li. He was the one who was beaten but he was severely punished. Lu Ming was the one who beat but nothing happened. This is what his grandma said.
But this kind of thought can only be buried deep in his heart and cannot be revealed at all. Weng Bailing knows very well who Dai Li is and how vicious his methods are.
Extreme anger has been burning Weng Bailing, but he has no way to deal with Lu Ming, so he is not so concerned about monitoring Lu Ming.
In fact, he was subconsciously afraid of spying on Lu Ming because he had no effective means to obtain evidence. On the other hand, once his surveillance actions were discovered by Lu Ming, he didn't know what trouble he would cause.
Although Ning Xiner's case was not directly related to Weng Bailing, he could see that Dai Li failed to defeat Lu Ming this round.
Weng Bailing was thinking about how to provoke Dai Li and Lu Ming to fight, and he must not let Lu Ming focus on him.
"If Commander Lu doesn't have any new trends, let's do regular surveillance." Dai Li said with waning interest.
Dai Li knew Weng Bailing's thoughts and did not blame him. Now he is not very enthusiastic about finding out the doubts about Lu Ming.
The reason why Dai Li did not make the decision to cancel the surveillance of Lu Ming was because the committee had not yet spoken. As long as the committee did not order to cancel the investigation of Lu Ming, he could only continue to work hard, but without the previous enthusiasm.
and determination.
There was no further news about the agent who had recently infiltrated the top ranks of the Communist Party. This also made Dai Li worried. He didn’t know whether the agent was hiding to protect himself or had been discovered by the Communist Party’s security department.
.
How difficult the road ahead is, Dai Li sighed in his heart.
That day, An Yi accidentally saw Lu Ming when she was routinely monitoring Hou Liang.
Lu Ming came to visit Hou Liang. It was not that he missed Hou Liang, but a special reason attracted him here.
Hou Liang endured so many inhumane tortures and was physically disabled, but he had no mental problems at all. This made Lu Ming find it incredible.
Lu Ming wanted to talk to Hou Liang and ask him why there was no psychological shadow left after he suffered so much pain, or in other words, how he healed himself when there was a psychological shadow.
Lu Ming felt that Communists like Hou Liang must have very powerful psychological secrets. If they mastered this secret, could they use it on Ning Xiner and Mingzhu to help them alleviate their illnesses?
After he told him his problem, Hou Liang thought for a long time, and then told him with a wry smile that there is no other secret to being mentally strong. When he was tortured, there was only one thing that supported him: faith.
"Of course, now that I have abandoned my original beliefs and I am already a traitor, it would be a bit funny to talk about this again." Hou Liang said with a wry smile.
"Then if someone has a mental breakdown first and tries to build his own faith step by step later, is it still useful?" Lu Ming asked.
"I don't know about that. I'm not a doctor, and I'm not qualified to talk about faith now." Hou Liang shook his head with a painful expression.
"Oh, I understand. How have Mr. Hou and his family been doing with their food and accommodation lately? Are they used to it? Do you have any other requests?" Lu Ming asked with concern.
Lu Ming didn't care if Hou Liang was a traitor to the Communist Party, but he really admired Hou Liang. At least 99% of the people in the Fuxing Society couldn't stand the torture, including himself.
Hou Liang was very grateful to Lu Ming. He knew that the favorable conditions for him and his family were arranged by Lu Ming himself. He wanted to give something back, but he really had nothing and his inner world was completely barren.
"Sir Lu, can you arrange for my woman and children to leave secretly and help them find a private place to live?" Hou Liang said quietly, and his words seemed to contain a hint of hope for the future.
"What are you afraid of? Can the underground party still deal with your women and children?" Lu Ming said in surprise.
"That's not true. The party has policies. The anti-rape team will only target me personally and will not attack my family. However, I am afraid that if they follow me, they will suffer unreasonable disasters." Hou Liang said calmly.
Hou Liang already knew that he could not escape. Sooner or later, if he died, the underground party would not tolerate a traitor like him living in the world. This was something he thought of when he confessed.
His heart was dead. If he hadn't still had his favorite woman and child with him, he would have committed suicide long ago. However, he was still greedy for the last bit of family warmth in his life and wanted to survive for a while longer.
But there is also a possibility that if his woman and children are sent to a safe place, he can secretly reunite with them, or he can die according to his inner thoughts instead of waiting for the anti-rape team to kill him.
Although the identity of the traitor cannot be changed, he still wants to make a final choice on his own.
