"Sir Dai, I have to go back. I can't stay here any longer. You heard it too. He is blatantly slandering me." Weng Bailing said and was about to leave.
But as soon as he walked to the door, he saw four guards standing at the door, each holding a rifle.
"Sir Lu, what do you mean, do you want to arrest me?" Weng Bailing's face turned red and he shouted.
"No, I don't have the right to arrest you. This matter needs Yunong to arbitrate, and may even require a commission to convict you." Lu Ming sneered.
"If you don't arrest me, then let me leave. I won't run away. If you really have evidence, go to Nanjing and sue me." Weng Bailing waved his hands and still wanted to leave.
However, his face slowly turned from red to gray, his eyes became cloudy, he was covered in cold sweat, his body felt a little weak, and his heart naturally became even more weak.
"Chief Lu, this is no small matter. You are accusing the stationmaster of Shanghai Station of treason." Dai Li said cautiously.
"Yes, he is guilty of treason, colluding with the Japanese Kwantung Army secret service, kidnapping Ms. Du Juan, a Chinese citizen, and helping the Japanese abduct Du Juan to the Japanese mainland," Lu Ming said.
"Du Juan is a Communist. I have evidence. She should have been arrested. You are her protector. This is a communist behavior." Weng Bailing immediately seized on the topic and shouted loudly.
When Dai Li heard this, his heart dropped. Weng Bailing's defense was simply self-defeating.
"Right now, regardless of whether Du Juan is a Communist or not, she is a citizen of the Republic of China, right? You colluded with the Japanese to kidnap Chinese citizens, and helped the Japanese to kidnap Chinese citizens to the Japanese mainland. Is this an act of treason? You yourself
Tell me?" Lu Ming shouted sharply.
"I didn't do it. This is all nonsense from you. You have no evidence at all." Weng Bailing fought back desperately.
"You want evidence, don't you?" Lu Ming sneered.
Weng Bailing didn't speak. He already felt bad and shut his mouth in time for fear of saying the wrong thing again.
"This case is actually very simple. A report call came to the Third Precinct that day, so two policemen from the Third Precinct, Xie Dong and Han Changping, went to the streets to arrest Du Juan who was giving an anti-Japanese speech..."
Lu Ming briefly explained the entire case.
Then he added: "This reporting phone number is strange. It was actually made from my office in Shanghai Station. Webmaster Weng, I want to ask you now, did you make this reporting phone number?" Lu Ming was stern.
asked.
"Of course not, why should I make this call?" Weng Bailing sat back again.
He also figured out that with Chief Dai here, the stronger he appeared, the more likely he would be exposed. It was better to argue with reason. Anyway, Chief Dai would uphold justice for him. After all, they were a family.
"Are you sure this report call was not made by you? Didn't you just say that Du Juan is from the Communist Party? What are you afraid of admitting when you reported the Communist Party to the police station?" Lu Ming asked.
"Of course I didn't do it. If I wanted to arrest Du Juan, I would have sent someone to arrest him directly. Why would I report it to the Third Branch? And after the incident, I fully cooperated with you and checked everyone in the whole building.
." Weng Bailing said with his head held high.
"Yes, what Station Manager Weng said is very reasonable. Normally, this call should not be made by you, nor can it be made by anyone in the Shanghai Station building. So is this call made by a ghost?" Lu Ming said seriously.
.
"Perhaps it was really a ghost attack. Commander Lu has great supernatural powers. You can go to the Palace of Hell and ask those little ghosts." Weng Bailing laughed.
Dai Li didn't smile, and his heart suddenly sank.
Dai Li still knows Lu Ming very well.
He knew that although Lu Ming's temper was lawless, if there was no conclusive evidence, Lu Ming would not set up such a situation to make things difficult. Looking at today's situation, Lu Ming was going to completely settle things with Weng Bailing.
Could it be said that this matter was really done by Weng Bailing and that the evidence accidentally fell into Lu Ming's hands?
Dai Li felt really unsure.
If it is true and there is irrefutable evidence, once Lu Ming starts to cause trouble, even the appointment will not be able to save Weng Bailing. Who dares to speak for a traitor when Sino-Japanese relations are so tense?
Dai Li did not know about this matter, let alone get involved, so now he could only observe what was happening, but mentally he already believed that Weng Bailing was inevitably involved.
The kidnapping of Ning Xiner was planned and masterminded by Dai Li. There were many doubts that Lu Ming noticed at the beginning, but Lu Ming never found any evidence, so he did not attack him.
Dai Li suddenly felt scared. Will Lu Ming also discover the evidence of Ning Xiner's kidnapping case? This Weng Bailing is really a troublemaker. What good will it do to him if he stirs up trouble by doing this?
He had a series of cooperation with Kawashima Yoshiko and others. Kawashima Yoshiko knew everything. Could Kawashima Yoshiko also betray him?
When Dai Li thought of this, he felt even more unsure.
He and Weng Bailing were now on one-third of an acre of Lu Ming's land. Lu Ming's guards were guarding the outside. He also brought four bodyguards, but they were left downstairs with the adjutant, secretary and driver.
If Lu Ming really had conclusive evidence, he would most likely kill them first and then punish them.
"I could have interrogated you alone, but I didn't. Instead, I invited Yu Nong from Nanjing, just to ensure the fairness of the matter. If you take the initiative to tell the matter, you may be able to reduce some of your guilt." Lu Mingleng
Words.
"Stationmaster Weng, I advise you to cooperate with Chief Lu's questions, don't be defensive, explain clearly, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, don't talk nonsense." Dai Li sang a high-pitched tone.
"Sir Dai, what do you want me to say? You can't make me admit something I haven't done at all, right?" Weng Bailing continued to deny.
"Okay, let's write it down first. Webmaster Weng denies that the reporting phone call was made by you, right?" Lu Ming asked.
"Yes, it's the same thing you asked a hundred times. I never entered your old office, let alone called this reporting phone number." Weng Bailing insisted.
"Okay, bring it in." Lu Ming shouted.
At this time, Huang Yanning walked in, carrying a wooden box. He smiled at Dai Li but ignored Weng Bailing.
"Deputy Director Huang is very proud now."
The atmosphere in the room was too depressing at this moment. In order to adjust the tense atmosphere, Dai Li deliberately interrupted and laughed.
"I thank you very much for your support, Commander Dai." Huang Yanning gave Dai Li a military salute.
This is a rule in the military. When you see an officer with a higher rank than yourself, you must salute immediately, otherwise it will be disrespectful to him.
"It was Commander Lu who cultivated you, I don't dare to take credit." Dai Li continued to interrupt.
Dai Li was talking, but his eyes were fixed on the wooden box. He didn't know what was hidden in it. It was definitely not something auspicious anyway.
Dai Li glanced at Weng Bailing again. Their eyes intertwined, and they both had a creepy feeling, as if a ghost might emerge from the wooden box at any time.
"Sir Lu, it's so mysterious, what's in it?" Dai Li asked.
"You guys take a look at the stamp on the box first," Lu Ming said.
Dai Li and Weng Bailing stepped forward and looked at the label carefully. There were a few lines of English on it, which was probably the unit and address from which the box was sent.
Although they are not proficient in English, they still recognize the three capital letters of FBI and know what it stands for.
"The FBI? The secret service led by Edgar Hoover?"
Dai Li said in surprise, and he was even more surprised, how could Lu Ming get such a thing.
Although the FBI was only officially established last year, this agency has been around for a long time, and it is the most famous investigative agency in the United States. The merger of the Renaissance Society and the intelligence department of Xu Enzeng under the Central Executive Committee actually wants to create a Chinese
fbi.
Dai Li also wanted Lu Ming to help and invite experts from the FBI to come to China to help them train students. Lu Ming happily agreed and had preliminary communication with the United States.
However, since Lu Ming's visit to the United States never took place, the matter was delayed. Dai Li came to Shanghai today with the intention of discussing this matter with Lu Ming.
Who would have expected that before the matter could be discussed, a big box from the FBI arrived first, and it contained a heavy mystery.
Dai Li and Weng Bailing's eyes widened. They didn't understand the purpose of Lu Ming asking Huang Yanning to bring in a box sent by the FBI, and how it was related to the case of Du Juan's kidnapping.
Lu Ming looked at the expressions of the two people, chuckled and said: "Open the box, it's time to reveal the mystery."
Dai Li and Weng Bailing held their breath and watched the box being slowly opened as if they were waiting for a death diagnosis.
Weng Bailing was sweating profusely now, and there was a gloomy air in his chest. As long as a finger touched him, he would probably collapse to the ground immediately.
