"Commander, Commander! You don't have to blame yourself too much. Colonel Longchuan said that those red gang members are really powerful. I guess... Commander Qian was also bribed by them."
As soon as these words came out, Commander Zhang was even more shocked and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Commander Qian... is also a Red Party member?"
"That's not necessarily the case, but at least he has been corrupted and won over! Think about it, this money tiger is in office, one of his confidants is an 'old ghost', and the beauty beside his pillow is an 'old man'. Is he clean?
Therefore, I feel that... the colonel knows it in his heart! Even if he is responsible, it is the dead Qian Huyi who is responsible for it, and there is absolutely no suspicion on your head."
"That's good...that's good..." After hearing this, Commander Zhang finally let out a sigh of relief, but soon sat up straight again and said righteously: "No, it's my turn.
I will never shirk the responsibility of this commander, go! I will go with you to Qiuzhuang immediately and interrogate Wu Zhiguo face to face!"
"Commander, do you really want to go?"
"What? Something like this happened to one of my subordinates. Is there anything wrong with me going to find out?"
"Um, no, no, no, that's right...that's too good. Please, Commander!"
Twenty minutes later, Commander Qian, accompanied by Wang Tianxiang, arrived at Qiuzhuang again.
And when Jin Shenghuo watched Commander Zhang getting out of the car from a distance through the window in his room, he couldn't help but said: "The cicada wakes up before the golden wind moves, and the conspiracy is impermanent and you will die without knowing it!"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaomeng immediately asked: "What will happen if this commander is really judged as a red party member?"
"Simple, there are only two results, change a commander, or change a headquarters."
"Replace a headquarters? Isn't that too exaggerated?"
However, as soon as these words were spoken, Li Ningyu on the side rarely took the initiative to explain: "Xiao Meng, you have not been back to China for a long time, and you may not know much about the current situation within the new government. Nowadays, the entire East China region,
Chairman Wang’s intelligence sources mainly rely on two systems, one is Director Li’s No. 76, and the other..."
"Is it our Suppression Headquarters?" Gu Xiaomeng was not stupid, so he naturally spoke clearly.
Li Qiang didn't want to but quickly corrected him: "That's right, but to be precise, it should be a confidential place in the headquarters!"
"That's right." Jin Shenghuo agreed, "Everyone knows that although No. 76 is nominally affiliated with the new government, it actually listens to the orders of the Japanese. That's why Chairman Wang tried his best to exclude
The purpose of establishing a general headquarters for suppression was to establish an intelligence system that was completely obedient to one's orders and was safe and reliable. Before that, everything was going smoothly according to the planned plan, but at this time, something happened
An unexpected incident occurred that everyone did not expect.”
"Director Jin, the accident you are talking about is not referring to Colonel Li, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiaomeng immediately defended: "Chief Ming, now is not the time to joke. What does this have to do with Sister Yu?"
"Xiaomeng, let alone you, Chief Ming really guessed it!" Jin Shenghuo quickly explained with a smile, "Don't forget, Colonel Li successfully cracked the second-generation Enigma machine.
With such genius, can those Japanese people still sit still? Now think about it, Mr. Zhou is right! We people, no matter how hard we work, we still have the surname Wang. Now let them find our eyes
It’s so bright and your ears are so sharp, but you still look like a puppet?”
…
At the same time, the door of Qiuzhuang's dungeon.
"Commander, please!" Wang Tianxiang said respectfully while making a "please" gesture.
Commander Zhang did not doubt his presence, so he simply walked in.
But as soon as he entered the dungeon, he was surprised to find that Wu Zhiguo was tied to the rack, and surprisingly it was his personal secretary Bai Xiaonian!
"Xiao Nian?! Why is it you? This...Wang Tianxiang!" However, before he finished speaking, there was a heavy door slamming behind him, and then more than a dozen Japanese military police appeared from all directions, all with guns and ammunition.
, the murderous look on his face immediately shocked Commander Zhang into a cold sweat.
But even so, Commander Zhang immediately ran to Bai Xiaonian and kept calling, "Xiaonian! Xiaonian! What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
However, Bai Xiaonian, who had obviously been severely tortured at this time, was not only very weak, but also had his mouth tightly gagged. Although he had used all his strength, he could only groan weakly twice.
There was no way to speak.
"Wang Tianxiang! Wang Tianxiang! You bastard! Come out and tell me clearly, do you hear me?" People will be under extreme fear.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice that seemed to come from hell sounded, "I heard that when people are extremely scared, they will unconsciously turn this fear into anger. Commander Zhang just ignored the friendship of his colleagues.
Does your yelling and swearing mean that you are very frightened and uneasy at the moment?"
"Colonel... Colonel? This... what on earth is going on?"
"As you can see, that's what happened." Ryukawa Hihara said expressionlessly, "The one who confessed was not Wu Zhiguo, but your personal secretary Bai Xiaonian. He is the old ghost! And his superior... is
You, Commander Zhang!"
"False accusation! False accusation!! Colonel, this is completely a false accusation!!!"
"False accusation?"
"Yes! It's definitely a false accusation!"
Longchuan Feiyuan sneered, "Then how can we explain that Bai Xiaonian recruited you from the beginning to the end? He said that you were the one who developed and commanded his superior, the number one figure of the Red Party in Hangzhou, Lao Gun!
"
As he spoke, Ryukawa Hihara slammed a revolver on the table in front of him, which immediately made the commander shrink back in fright.
"Colonel, this..." Seeing that Longchuan Feiyuan looked like he didn't want to hear any more explanations from him, Commander Zhang simply turned the gun, glared angrily at Bai Xiaonian, who was already covered with bruises, and said viciously, "Bai Xiaonian
Xiao Nian! You ungrateful thing! I will kill you with my own hands today in front of the Colonel!"
After speaking, Commander Zhang grabbed the revolver on the table. Although Bai Xiaonian was still struggling to explain, his mouth was still tightly blocked, so it was not until Commander Zhang pulled the button
Trigger, he didn't even say a word.
However, Commander Zhang pulled the trigger three or four times in succession, but the gun did not go off. Only then did he realize that there was no bullet in the gun!
Just when he was stunned, the gun in his hand was already taken back by Longchuan Feiyuan, "Commander Zhang, are you too impulsive? If I hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid Secretary Bai would
Have you already silenced me?"
After speaking, he turned to look at Bai Xiaonian and continued to provoke: "Secretary Bai, now you see clearly your position in Commander Zhang's heart? So, don't have any illusions anymore, confess it quickly, while you are still alive
.”
As he spoke, he pulled out the cloth stuffed in Bai Xiaonian's mouth. Then he heard Bai Xiaonian yelling at Commander Zhang as if he was crazy: "Zhang Zuyin! I will work hard for you! You actually want to kill someone.
Silence!"
Seeing this, Commander Zhang quickly explained: "You...you, don't be fooled, Xiaonian! This, this, this...this is all..."
"That's enough!" Before Commander Zhang could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Ryukawa Hihara, "I'm not in the mood to listen to you two arguing! However, I have a way.
Let you two be honest. I wonder if you have ever heard of Russian roulette? I heard that it was a game that Russian Tsar Nicholas II liked to play when he was very bored. The rules are also very simple. Two people play.
A gun, a bullet, take turns to shoot, and the last one alive can win a huge sum of money. We are all soldiers, and gambling is too tacky, so just gamble with your life!"
As he spoke, Ryukawa Hihara took out a bullet from his pocket and loaded it, then raised his hand and pointed the gun at Commander Zhang.
"I admit, he...he is a fake. He is a private detective I hired from Shanghai. As for other things, I really don't know!" Before Longchuan Feihara could speak, Commander Zhang immediately trembled all over.
said.
"Very good!" After saying that, Longchuan Feiyuan moved the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger. Seeing that the gun did not go off, he pointed at Bai Xiaonian again, "It's your turn!"
"He...he came to me just to track down Qiuzhuang's treasure!"
"Click!" Another empty shot was fired, and then the gun was pointed at Commander Zhang again.
"His uncle is also a fake, he pretended to be someone else!"
"He asked me to pretend that this old man is the biological father of Mrs. Qian Huyi's second wife. He is looking for him to find out the whereabouts of Qiuzhuang's treasure!"
"Click! Click!" After two more empty shots, the gun still didn't fire. Bai Xiaonian and Commander Zhang became even more nervous, because with the next shot, there was only half a chance of survival.
However, at this moment, Ryukawa Hihara suddenly sighed, "Hey, it's not exciting! In this case, please allow me to join in!"
After saying that, he put the gun to his head without hesitation and pulled the trigger!
Such a crazy move made Bai Xiaonian and Commander Zhang subconsciously close their eyes, but what they finally heard was another empty shot.
At this time, both of them started to panic, because after this shot, the next shot would mean death.
"If I remember correctly, this should be the last time." Ryukawa Hihara said excitedly, and after speaking, he pointed the gun at Commander Zhang again.
"Yes, yes... it was Bai Xiaonian's idea. He didn't let me continue investigating the cause of Qian Huyi's death."
However, before Longchuan Feiyuan could turn his gun again, Bai Xiaonian almost shouted: "Wu Zhiguo! Wu Zhiguo also knows what he did in Qiuzhuang, and the telegram from Qiuzhuang was sent to him.
He was coerced into saving the lives of those people on the boat!"
"Okay! That's great!" As he said that, Longchuan Feiyuan pulled the trigger. After a "bang", the bullet almost grazed Bai Xiaonian's cheek and flew past, leaving a half-deep mark.
Light blood stains.
"It seems that you two had a great time, thank you for your hard work!" After saying this, Ryukawa Hihara left with satisfaction.
After Longchuan Feiyuan left, Commander Zhang and Bai Xiaonian did not continue to curse and quarrel with each other. Instead, they laughed in unison. However, the laughter contained both the joy of escaping from death and the feeling of watching helplessly.
The sadness and helplessness of being at the mercy of others...
Soon, Bai Xiaonian, who had just experienced a life and death test, was finally carried out of the dungeon.
When Wang Tianxiang saw this, he immediately stepped forward and said in a pretentious manner: "Secretary Bai, how are you feeling? Are you okay? It's been a hard day this morning. Go back and get some rest!"
Bai Xiaonian smiled and replied: "Don't say that, Director Wang, I want to thank you for taking care of me! This is how Bai saved his life."
"Secretary Bai, please don't take it personally! I'm doing this all for work. If I offend you, please forgive me, Secretary Bai!"
Bai Xiaonian just snorted after hearing this, then simply turned his head to one side, ignored it at all, and continued to go back to his room with the help of two Japanese military policemen.
In a short time, Commander Zhang also walked out of the dungeon, so Wang Tianxiang ignored Bai Xiaonian in front of him and quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Hey, Commander Zhang, don't leave in a hurry!"
Not to mention that this voice really stopped Commander Zhang, but immediately afterwards, a loud slap was slapped on Wang Tianxiang's face.
"Commander Zhang, it's not my face you're hitting!" Wang Tianxiang said with a gloomy face.
"Hmph! Your face is on the Japanese's butt. I'm trying to flatter the Japanese!" Commander Zhang said angrily, "I've been tried and shot.
Not the Red Party, without Chairman Wang’s warrant, I’m still the commander-in-chief of suppression! What’s wrong? You want to lock me up too?”
"I don't dare! I just want to give the commander a message."
"If you have anything to say, you can eat it yourself!" After saying that, Commander Zhang turned around and walked out.
However, just after taking two steps, Wang Tianxiang continued: "It's Wu Zhiguo who wants to see you!"
"Tell him! I am now a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river. I can't even protect myself. It's useless to see me! Wish yourself the best of luck!"
"Commander Zhang, sometimes, other people's blessings are one's own misfortune. Don't you really not want to meet Captain Wu? If you want, I can take you there now."
"Even if I really want to see him, can Colonel Longchuan approve it? Are you not afraid that I am really a red party member and collude with Wu Zhiguo as you suspect?"
"Commander Zhang, you really think too much. Colonel Longchuan said that the Red Party will never take such a big risk for a little money, so you are the most innocent now."
"Innocent? Humph! Wang Tianxiang, Wang Tianxiang, we all are traitors, but even if they are all traitors, they are divided into three or six grades. There are traitors who sell themselves, there are traitors who sell their lives, and there are traitors who sell their reputation, but like you
You are a traitor who sells yourself to the point where you have no humanity at all. Let alone Dai Li’s gang of traitors, even if I see this, I want to fucking kill you with a knife! Lead the way!”
