After a night of careful consideration, Song Shutang decided to conceal the information provided by Meng Jiaqi.
Not for anything else, just for Uncle Li.
Reporting to the Military Command Bureau will explain why the Red Party chose to inform Song Shutang of the news.
Why aren't the Red Party worried about him backhand reporting the news?
Faced with problems such as this, no reasonable explanation can be given.
So in the end he decided to hide it and not report it.
Making this decision was equally difficult, but it was indeed his last choice, violating discipline and breaking through the bottom line, but that was what he thought in his heart.
As for whether the Red Party has any intention of development, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Just ignore it.
But at this time, a problem faced was how to draw Xie Ying into the intelligence department's key suspicions, and even finally focus on Xie Ying.
A clever reason is needed.
People in the Intelligence Department are not easy to deceive.
At this time, he thought that the bank clerk might be able to help him.
When I saw Long Hao at the intersection early in the morning, Song Shutang looked as usual.
Instead, Long Hao immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why did Meng Jiaqi come to see you yesterday?"
"Want money."
"Want money?"
"The fund-raising activities after the mountain city disaster and the proposal to prepare special funds for the aircraft allowed me to continue donating."
"Is that the reason?"
"That's right."
"You gave it?"
"I'm sorry I won't give it. Besides, it's just a gift of love."
"Aren't you afraid that people will pester you to donate money in the future?"
"Let's talk again."
The two of them came to the Information Section as usual, and then Song Shutang went to the cinema and met the bank staff to continue watching the movie.
Zhu Yue called Long Hao to ask: "What did Meng Jiaqi do in the study hall yesterday?"
"Make donations."
"Donate?"
"That's right."
"Go and inquire in person to see if Meng Jiaqi will donate money on behalf of the fundraiser."
"After the previous investigation was completed, the section chief did not allow private suspicion." Long Hao reminded.
"I'm not doubting Shutang. Meng Jiaqi is a member of the Xinhua Daily newspaper. It's always right to be careful."
"What's the difference?"
"are you going?"
"go!"
Long Hao felt that it would not be wrong to confirm.
Just be careful not to let Song Shutang know about it, otherwise it will be really embarrassing.
Before Long Hao was about to leave, Zhu Yue said: "We can't let the book hall know."
"You are also afraid of embarrassment."
"nonsense."
"Then let's deal with this."
"In his position, he will seek his own government." Zhu Yue was not doubtful, and as the leader of the team, he must have some understanding of this matter.
Involving the "Xinhua Daily" newspaper office, it is invisible and invisible.
When Long Hao left the Intelligence Department to secretly inquire about information, Song Shutang also started his daily work with the bank staff.
But today the bank staff were clearly restless.
He could still watch the video carefully before, but the investigation for many days made no progress, which made him impatient.
He is not a professional, and it is not easy for him to persist for a few days.
"I'm sorry, Team Leader Song." The bank employee also knew that he was not in good condition.
"You have been of great help to the investigation."
"real?"
"certainly."
"Team Leader Song is trying to comfort me."
"It seems that I have never talked to you about the progress of the investigation, leading you to mistakenly believe that nothing has been gained."
"improvement?"
"We are doing eliminations. After we eliminate them according to those conditions, although there are still more suspicious people, if you use those conditions and only eliminate the suspected targets you have delineated, the number of people will be reduced sharply."
Xie Ying was also within the range defined by the bank staff.
Therefore, Song Shutang now wants the Intelligence Section to focus on this list.
"But I'm not sure if among the people I've identified, there is a woman who withdrew money that day." The bank clerk said with a slight pain.
This is the problem.
The list of bank staff is for reference only.
It cannot be used as a basis.
But now because Xie Ying is on the list, it can actually be used as a basis.
But how to convince everyone in the intelligence department?
Song Shutang had always insisted before that he could not just rely on the list provided by the bank staff. The sudden change was unreasonable.
"You need to make a decision now," he said to the bank clerk.
"I?"
"If you firmly believe that there are spies on the list you have drawn, it will be of great help to the investigation."
"but I……"
"In times of crisis, we must take responsibility."
"But the stakes are high."
"Because of this, we must take more responsibility."
"Let me remember it again."
"Don't worry. Whether it's correct or not, it has nothing to do with you. You are the hero."
The bank clerk was seen deep in thought.
Song Shutang stopped disturbing me.
There was indeed guidance in his words, but the bank employee was the only witness.
If you want to achieve a breakthrough, the only witness is naturally extremely critical.
Song Shutang wanted to get more information from him, and there was no problem with his starting point and logic.
The bank clerk thought about it for a long time and finally made up his mind. He went to Song Shutang and said, "I think that woman must be among the targets I have circled for suspicion."
"Follow me back to the Information Section."
"good."
The two left the cinema and headed to the Intelligence Section.
Long Hao came back first.
In Zhu Yue's office, he said: "Meng Jiaqi did donate 500 yuan, signed Mr. Song."
"If you give up on this matter, it will be rotten in your stomach."
While the two were talking, Song Shutang shouted a report outside the door.
Long Hao shut up immediately.
"Come in."
Song Shutang led the bank staff into the office and saw Long Hao among them, with some curiosity in his eyes.
Being a guilty thief, Long Hao immediately asked, "Why are you back?"
"you say."
The bank clerk immediately explained his decision.
Zhu Yue asked him in detail and then asked him to leave first.
Zhu Yue waited for the others to go out and asked, "What do you think?"
"He is the only person who has met that woman, so what he said is credible." Long Hao analyzed carefully.
Song Shutang continued: "The investigation is currently at a deadlock. It's better to just believe what he said than to drag it on like this."
Everyone is right.
Zhu Yue finally decided: "Then follow this list."
If you don't believe the words of the only eyewitness, you have nothing to believe.
"How is the progress of the in-depth investigation?" Song Shutang asked. He was worried that Xie Ying would be excluded after the in-depth investigation.
At that time, he had no reason to add Xie Ying to the suspect list again.
"It has begun to bear fruit. This is the latest list."
There are only eight people left on the list, but fortunately Xie Ying's name is still among them.
"Then lock these eight people for investigation."
"Surveillance?"
"Control is needed." Song Shutang was very worried about Xie Ying's escape, so now he naturally suggested that he should be controlled.
Zhu Yue thought for a while and said: "At present, it is impossible to go further in the secret investigation, so we must monitor it to prevent escape and investigate slowly."
So Song Shutang stopped talking.
He has done enough things today. Although there are bank employees charging ahead, he still needs to be cautious.
In the afternoon, the first team of the Intelligence Section began to arrange for control, and at the same time notified team leader Li of the second team to suspend the investigation.
Li Tairan inquired and learned that according to the bank staff, eight people were finally identified and did not say much.
He also knows that the investigation is not easy. The bank staff is the only clue. If you don't believe it, there is no better way.
I was unwilling to do this before because I was worried about letting the real spy go.
Now that Song Shutang knew that the Japanese spies were on the list, he naturally guided the bank staff to make decisions and helped everyone in the intelligence department make up their minds.
Zhu Yue was personally responsible for the deployment and control, while Song Shutang focused on Xie Ying.
…
…
Later today, the weather will no longer support street work, so Uncle Li is preparing to close the stall.
At this time, a customer came to repair his shoes.
"Master, I'm sorry."
"No trouble."
Lei Yanbin sat on the pony and looked at the senior Li Jitong in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.
During the shoe repair process, Lei Yanbin asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
Drying the leather outside the house was Uncle Li's secret signal to ask for a meeting.
So Lei Yanbin went to the appointment today.
"Are you approaching Song Shutang?" Uncle Li kept working in his hands and asked.
"right."
"Who asked you to do this?"
"Isn't that what you meant?"
"I will develop it myself, you don't have to interfere."
"This matter will be discussed and decided within the bureau." Lei Yanbin replied.
Li Jitong wanted to develop Song Shutang personally, and his report made it very clear.
But consider that he also has a lot of inconveniences.
The bureau wanted to arrange for Li Jitong to evacuate and let them be responsible for development, but Uncle Li disagreed.
The Southern Bureau can only speed up its development progress.
Uncle Li had limited mobility and could only passively wait for Song Shutang to come to his door, which was indeed greatly affected.
Facing Lei Yanbin's answer, Uncle Li found it difficult to refute.
"I want to see the Secretary of the Working Committee Behind Enemy Lines." Uncle Li wanted the higher-ups to take back his order.
"There are difficulties in meeting. I will convey your opinions, but the possibility of change is unlikely. At the same time, I also ask you to consider evacuating. At least the organization can protect you."
"If you develop like this, if the Military Command Bureau finds out, he will die." Uncle Li's tone was a little angry.
"The Unification Committee is also a professional." Lei Yanbin is not a fool, how can he not understand this.
Moreover, the staff of the Unification Committee are all experienced in many battles, otherwise they would not dare to be placed in such a complex environment as a mountain city.
Uncle Li also felt that caring about him would lead to chaos.
When it comes to development personnel, the members of the Unification Committee are indeed more professional than him.
But it was about Song Shutang, so he couldn't help but worry.
