Just as Chai Shan rushed to the Ministry of Industry Bureau to take care of Chimu's aftermath, a phone call hurriedly came into the Ming Mansion.
Half an hour later, a cafe on Xiafei Road.
"Director Li, what's the matter with calling me over in such a hurry?" Li Qiang frowned slightly and asked, "If it's because of the previous incident, I think it's better to wait. After all, it's such a big deal.
I can't help you inquire about it at this time. Of course, if you think I'm deliberately trying to shirk it, I can also return your previous reward intact to you, how about that?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shiqun quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, Director Ming, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."
"Then you asked me to come over?"
Li Shiqun sighed, "Well, to tell you the truth, brother Ming, the one who died was a Japanese baron. Although Chairman Wang didn't say it, the hard work of the Qingxiang Committee will definitely fall on me.
Maybe even the command of the tax police group will have to be handed over. That doesn't matter. After all, there is a traitor in the secret service headquarters. As the director, I have to be responsible no matter what. There is nothing to say about it.
.I just can't bear to part with the batch of arms that I finally got back. I wonder if you have any good ideas to help me keep this batch of arms?"
Seeing that Li Shiqun's address to him had changed from Director Ming to Brother Ming, Li Qiang instinctively felt something was wrong, but he actually guessed it!
"Director Li, you are making things too difficult for me. I am just a division director the size of a sesame seed. Not to mention in front of Chairman Wang, even in front of Mr. Zhou, I don't have the right to speak. There is nothing I can do. Guan Weiyan
It's so light!" After a long silence, Li Qiang said with an embarrassed look.
Unexpectedly, Li Shiqun waved his hand, "Hey! Brother Ming, don't say that! It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. How can you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it?"
"But Director Li, the problem is that I have no clue about this!"
However, these words seemed to play into Li Shiqun's hands, "That's why I called you here in such a hurry! According to reliable information, just now, the special plane of Lieutenant General Shibayama Kenshiro, the head of the Hankou Army's Army Secret Service, has landed.
At Hongqiao Airport.”
"Lieutenant General Shibayama and Baron Akagi have been friends for many years. I think Lieutenant General Shibayama is here to take care of his funeral arrangements. Is there any problem?"
"Of course there is no problem, but just half an hour after Lieutenant General Chaishan's special plane landed, another plane from Wuhan also landed shortly after. Brother Ming, you might as well guess who is on the plane?
"
"Since Director Li asked this, I guess this person should be acquainted with me?"
"Not only do we know each other, but we have also experienced hardships together. With such a special experience, I think I must have guessed who that person is, right?"
"Wuhan...we are sharing weal and woe...could it be Xiong Jiandong, Commander Xiong?"
"Yes, it's him! Because in the last incident of searching for strategic materials, this person was suspected of serious dereliction of duty and collaboration with the enemy. Therefore, based on his past achievements, although he was exempted from the death penalty, he has been under house arrest investigation.
, it was not until yesterday that Mr. Zhou personally came forward as guarantee that he regained his freedom."
Li Qiang couldn't help being stunned after hearing this, "Director Li, do you mean to say that Mr. Zhou's move is directed at the tax police group?"
"Smart! Talking to smart people saves time and effort. Brother Ming, for him, you are half his benefactor. Isn't that fair to say?"
"This..." Li Shiqun had already said this, and Li Qiang could only bite the bullet and said, "Okay, I can give it a try, but Director Li, you also said that this plan depends on man and God.
I can’t guarantee my vote for this kind of thing!”
"That's natural. Don't worry, I'll thank you profusely when things are done!"
…
In the next few days, the entire Shanghai completely entered a state of strict military control, and even the French Concession was forced to formulate an action plan to track down suspicious persons under pressure from all parties.
This is a real hardship for the innocent people. In the morning, they were interrogated by Agent No. 76 led by Wu Shibao. In the afternoon, they were broken down and searched by Japanese military police under Wang Manchun. When walking on the street, they had to cooperate at any time to accept those who had already
Inquiries from patrol officers assigned to major roads in the city by Minglou.
In comparison, the situation of the people in the concession is slightly better, but they are also troubled by the policemen who patrol the houses.
Among them, the busiest one is the public concession authorities. They must spare no effort to hunt down the real culprit, and must also focus most of their energy on the funeral of Akagi Noyuki.
Time came to the 21st, which was the fourth day after Chimu was shot dead. The concession authorities held a grand funeral specifically for Chimu. Patrols from many countries cleared the way and guided the cars carrying Chimu’s coffin from Jing’an Temple Road to the Wenwen Temple.
Jianshi Road attracted many people from Shanghai to watch and caused quite a sensation.
At the funeral, Shibayama Kenshiro, as the representative of Japan, delivered a eulogy to Akagi Chiyuki, and read out in public the resolution specially passed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: promoting him from the "Four Honors" to the "Third Honors", and to his family members.
Thick pension.
It was only then that the common people finally learned the truth of the matter. For a time, the story of the Yishui warrior who assassinated Qin alone became the most popular program in teahouses.
But even so, this unprecedented large-scale purge did not end with that grand funeral. Instead, it seemed to be even more powerful than before.
This was far beyond the expectations of Li Qiang and Minglou. Although they had successfully persuaded Chongqing to issue an emergency silence order to all latent groups in Shanghai, the two of them still worked hard every day for those comrades.
concerns about safety.
Two days later, something worrying still happened.
Early that morning, Shanghai Station Chief Chen Gongshu informed the two of them of the bad news through secret means: Liu Yuanshen, the new captain of Shanghai Station's First Operations Brigade, had been kidnapped by Wan Lilang, who had successfully become the captain of No. 76's Second Operations Brigade!
However, no one thought that this was just the beginning. On the day Liu Yuanshen was kidnapped, people at the station were also arrested one after another. Most of them were senior lurkers who had been lurking in the public concession for several years.
After receiving the news, Li Qiang immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly found Minglou and said to him: "Brother, something is wrong. The efficiency of the concession authorities' arrests is too high, right?"
"Well, I find it strange too. I think something must have happened that we don't know about yet."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang nodded in agreement, frowned and asked: "Who is leading the arrest? Why don't I remember that there is such a capable person in the police department?"
"You remember correctly, before this, there was indeed no such person in the police force, but don't forget, just a few days ago, that old guy Kenshiro Shibayama brought someone with him when he came!"
"Go Fujita?"
"Yes, I heard that this man has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is even bigger than the previous Saburo Sasai. When he was in the 11th Army, he was exaggeratedly called a 'robot'. This time the police department's investigation operation was led by him.
team."
"Go Fujita...just the name sounds very difficult to deal with, but brother, what I am most worried about now is not this robot, but..."
"I know what you are worried about." Before Li Qiang could finish speaking, Minglou interrupted him directly, "After the first domino falls, it will inevitably cause a series of chain reactions, but don't worry, I have already
All safe houses have been activated urgently, and I believe that some people should have taken refuge by now. As for those who chose to become converts after being arrested..."
Having said this, Minglou stopped talking, but there was no sympathy in his eyes at this time, but full of anger.
"Pah! Pah!"
In the dungeon of the Gendarmerie Headquarters, the clear sound of whipping accompanied by the screams of the tortured kept echoing in the dark corridor, like a hell on earth.
In the execution chamber, Wang Manchun was sitting there, manicuring his nails seemingly leisurely, and listening to the screams of the tortured, with a cruel smile on his lips.
"Okay, it's almost done, let's change to the next one!" Wang Manchun glanced at the man who was already dying on the torture rack and said coldly.
And all of this was seen by Okamura Yukizo outside the execution room. Even as a Japanese, he could not help but be afraid of the woman in front of him with an angelic face and a devil's heart.
The subordinates on the side couldn't help but ask: "Captain, haven't all those Chinese people been recruited? Why is Miss Wang still..."
Although the man's voice was not loud, Wang Manchun in the execution chamber seemed to have telepathy. He suddenly turned around and glared at him, scaring him so much that he almost peed his pants.
Fortunately, Okamura Mikizo saw something was wrong and quickly pulled him aside, so he didn't collapse to the ground on the spot.
"Didn't I tell you that Ms. Wang was stimulated by the child's affairs, so you should never use normal people's thinking to measure her behavior?"
"Team...Captain, it's her fault that she was stimulated, but we can't just let her do whatever she wants, right? What if the higher-ups blame her..."
"That's none of our business. The section chief asked us to listen to her orders. We are just following orders. Besides, I don't want to make trouble for myself and provoke the irritated female devil."
Just as he was talking, Wang Manchun's voice came out from the execution chamber again, "You bastard! The blood is splattered on my boots. Why don't you lick it clean for me? If you can't lick it clean, I'll cut off your tongue and feed it to you."
Dog! Another one!"
At the same time, in a very luxuriously decorated office in the police station building of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau.
Shibayama Kenshiro was focusing on the report in front of him that was about to be submitted to the military headquarters, when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Before he finished speaking, Fujita Tsuyoshi walked in listlessly.
"What, failed again?"
Fujita nodded.
"It seems that the opponent's reaction is much faster than we thought. With such an opponent, it is no wonder that the previous Akagi-kun was helpless against them for a long time. Fujita-kun, in that case, please withdraw all your people for the time being.
bring it on!"
After hearing this, Fujita still felt unwillingly and said: "But Lieutenant General Shibayama, less than half of the people on the list have been arrested..."
"It's useless. I think the remaining people must have gone into hiding, and may have even taken on new identities, so this list is no longer useful." With that, Shibayama simply put the list on the table.
He put away the long list, then turned to Nakano Jiuyong and said, "Nakano-kun, when you were sorting out Akagi-kun's belongings, did you find anything else besides this list?"
"Other discoveries..." Nakano Jiuyong tried hard to recall for a long time before finally replying with some uncertainty, "Ah, I remembered it. I heard from my wife that the teacher seemed to be brewing something before the accident.
The plan, but it’s a pity that the plan has not yet been formed, and the teacher... However, the teacher’s wife once heard the teacher murmuring in his sleep, such as poisonous snakes and small openings.”
As soon as these words came out, Chai Shan fell into deep thought and said to himself unconsciously, "Viper? Is that the code name of the mole who was once very active? If I remember correctly, it should have been a long time ago.
Okay, has this poisonous snake hidden in Wang Jingwei's government become restless recently? Or is Akagi-kun already finding the key clue? Also, what does that little opening mean? Is it another mole, or something else?
?”
Just when Chaishan was puzzled, another energetic voice came from the door, "Report!"
Hearing that voice, Chai Shan was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately put all the questions in his mind behind him, and said with some surprise: "Is it Mr. Qingqi? Please come in quickly!"
Although he is over fifty years old, it has to be said that as a veteran spy, Shibayama's hearing is still as sharp and clear as when he was young.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Qingqi Qingyin opened the door and walked in.
"Qingqijun, what are you doing?" Looking at the sweaty Qingqi Qingyin in front of him, Chaishan asked in confusion.
However, Qingqi Qingyin didn't bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead. After taking a breath, he immediately said urgently: "Lieutenant General Chaishan, you'd better go to the special high school and have a look! If it's later, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
Chaishan couldn't help being stunned after hearing this, "Qingqijun, please make it clearer, why is it too late? What happened?"
"It's Wang Manchun. I heard that this crazy woman has been madly torturing the Chongqing agents we finally caught in the dungeon of the Military Police Headquarters since yesterday. It is said that she has killed more than a dozen, and the remaining ones are not dead.
No matter where you go, those with broken arms and legs are all minors. It’s not okay to keep going like this. You’d better go over and have a look!”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qingqi Qingyin finished speaking, Chai Shan's eyes suddenly lit up and he said in a nonchalant manner, "Yes!"
