Long Hao was still here to accompany him at first, but was later persuaded by Song Shutang to leave. He had already made up his mind to go find Director Dai if things didn't work out.
It was a big taboo to report something beyond the next level, and he didn't want Long Hao to be affected.
In the dead of night, the phone suddenly rang.
Song Shutang answered the phone and heard Shen Lushui's voice, asking him to come over.
Put down the phone and go find Shen Lushui.
After entering the office, he asked: "Section Chief, how does Shangfeng decide?"
Faced with this problem, Shen Luchui looked helpless and said, "I really don't know whether this decision is a good thing or a bad thing for you."
"Shangfeng agrees?"
"Director Dai has agreed."
"Thank you, section chief."
"Don't thank me, just thank the director. I don't quite agree with your proposal."
"When my subordinates come back from arresting the Japanese spies, I will personally come to thank the director."
"So confident?"
"My subordinates made this suggestion not to risk death, but to capture spies." Song Shutang was not seeking death, he wanted to arrest and save people.
Facing such a confident Song Shutang, a smile appeared on Shen Lushui's face.
"How do we need to cooperate?"
“We’ll discuss it after we’ve seen ‘Mountain Ghost’’s request.”
"I immediately contacted the Red Party and others to come over and discuss it in detail."
"Looks like I won't have any sleep tonight."
"Just stay awake tonight."
"Can the section chief also joke?"
"Stop talking so much."
Song Shutang is indeed in a good mood now.
If Director Dai agrees to take action, he can try hard instead of waiting for the news of Meng Jiaqi's death.
As for how Bao Yiwei persuaded Director Dai, he actually had an idea.
When he persuaded Bao Yiwei, he deliberately mentioned Pingjiang.
That's just putting it politely.
Song Shutang didn't mind Bao Yiwei's calculations, he even thanked him.
Otherwise, I'm afraid today will rarely go smoothly.
After waiting for a while in the Information Section, Xue Sanqing and Xiong Yuxiang left and returned.
But both of them were filled with doubts.
Inviting the two people into the conference room, Shen Lushui took Song Shutang and Zhu Yue appeared.
The two were clearly informed on the phone that the Military Command Bureau had agreed to assist in rescuing Meng Jiaqi, so the meeting got straight to the point.
Xue Sanggeng and Xiong Yuxiang showed eagerness.
Shen Lushui signaled the two of them to calm down and said, "Let's hear what kind of request the 'Mountain Ghost' makes."
Xiong Yuxiang took out an envelope from his arms and put it on the table: "This is a letter sent to the newspaper office by the 'Mountain Ghost' through a beggar on the roadside."
Song Shutang took it and checked it.
The "Mountain Ghost" letter stated that Meng Jiaqi would be kidnapped, and then asked the newspaper to inform Song Shutang to leave the city alone tomorrow and go to Xiao'an Village near Longtou Temple in the northern suburbs of the Jialing River. He would make other arrangements when he arrived in Xiao'an Village.
Longtou Temple?
Zhu Yue came over and saw the content of the letter and said: "Longtou Temple is named because the hilltop it is located on resembles a giant dragon roaring up to the sky, and the 'dragon head' flies towards Chaotianmen Pier with its head held high. There are more than ten towering ancient trees halfway up the mountain." The shape of the tree is like a 'dragon eyebrow'. Every spring and summer when heavy rains pour down, the ancient tree shakes like a 'dragon' calling for wind and rain, making the place prosperous. Now some people from the Ministry of Justice use it to work."
After listening to Zhu Yue's introduction, Xue Sangen and Xiong Yuxiang couldn't help but glance at him.
This military command bureau is indeed very capable.
Zhu Yue, the leader of the Intelligence Section, knows a lot about everything in the mountain city, which is rare.
"Are you sure that Meng Jiaqi was kidnapped?" Zhu Yue asked.
"Along with the letter was sent something that Meng Jiaqi had brought with her, and we searched many places but could not find her, which is enough to confirm that what the spy said was true," Xiong Yuxiang said.
"Why did you choose this place?" Shen Lushui asked.
Zhu Yue analyzed: "It may be that it is more troublesome to deploy and control in the suburbs, and behind Xiao'an Village is the top of the hill where Longtou Temple is located. The green trees on the hill are better hidden, which is beneficial for evacuation."
Xue Sangen immediately said: "There is only one way to Xiao'an Village, and there is a flat river beach in front of the village. The 'mountain ghost' hides in the dark and can easily observe whether strangers enter Xiao'an Village. If we act rashly, he will kill people." Then he fled up the mountain."
The letter indeed stated that only Song Shutang could come.
If other people are arranged to appear, the 'mountain ghost' will kill people directly.
You can't get away with it even if you're disguised.
After all, under normal circumstances in Xiaoan Village, no strangers enter.
As for the 'Mountain Ghost' being able to get to know everyone in Xiao'an Village in such a short period of time?
You can't be sure of this, but obviously the Red Party doesn't dare to gamble.
Therefore, when we arranged for members to go to Xiao'an Village and saw that there was an unobstructed river beach at the entrance of the village, they had no choice but to return to the original route and report the collected information.
Song Shutang asked randomly: "Although Xiao'an Village has only one entrance and exit, if the 'Mountain Ghost' can go directly up the mountain from the village, he can do this. Can't we sneak into the village from the mountain?"
Isn’t it possible to take a detour through the mountains and enter the village?
Xue Sangen continued: "We have asked the local people carefully and found out that the road can go around the mountain, but it takes two days to go around the mountain road. From the time when the 'mountain ghost' sent us the letter to when he asked you to meet, it only took half a day. One night is not enough for a detour."
"Why does it take so long?"
"The terrain on the mountain was originally very steep, and the Japanese bombing the year before last caused two of the closer mountain roads to be blown up and beyond repair, making the detour now difficult and long."
Hearing this, Song Shutang understood in his heart.
After working for a long time, 'Mountain Ghost' chose Xiao'an Village because of these conditions.
"At the moment, it seems that we can only follow the arrangements of the 'Mountain Ghost' and wait until I arrive at Xiao'an Village tomorrow to see what happens." Song Shutang felt that he didn't have much time to make other plans now.
Zhu Yue frowned and said, "If you arrive at Xiao'an Village and the 'Mountain Ghost' orders you to throw away your weapons and enter the village, and he hides in a private house and suddenly shoots at you, wouldn't your death at his hands be in vain?"
"I won't just listen to his arrangements. I'm going to arrest people and save them, not to die."
"He threatened you with Meng Jiaqi's life?"
"If I die, can Meng Jiaqi survive?" Song Shutang felt that he would definitely not survive.
Therefore, you must first ensure that you are alive before you have a chance to save others.
Xue Sangen and Xiong Yuxiang did not express dissatisfaction with this statement because it made sense.
"Mountain Ghost's ultimate goal is me, and he doesn't want me to die too comfortably. When the opportunity is placed in front of him, he will be more eager to seize it, while I have room to operate." Song Shutang's thoughts on "Mountain Ghost" The mentality was also analyzed.
Shen Lushui immediately said: "Tomorrow we will arrange for people to set up defenses outside Xiao'an Village. At the same time, we will arrange for people to start going into the mountains and find local people to lead the way."
It is extremely unwise to walk on mountain roads at night.
But this will take time.
Although it would take two days to reach Xiao'an Village, Shen Lushui was prepared for a rainy day. If the 'mountain ghost' really escaped into the mountains, they could block the 'mountain ghost' in the mountains and capture him.
At the same time, Shen Lushui said: "Tonight, the thick clouds are hiding from the sky and covering the moon. Can we pass through the flat beach in front of Xiao'an Village at night and sneak into the village to launch a surprise attack?"
Faced with this proposal, without waiting for Xue Sangen and Xiong Yu to speak, Song Shutang said directly: "No."
Kunoki Takashi could not have imagined this.
Will definitely make preparations.
In this way, Kunoki Takashi knew that before he could wait for Song Shutang, he would immediately kill people and flee, leaving no chance to save others.
Xue Sangeng changed his view on Song Shutang's initiative to deny this plan to ensure his own safety.
"How else do you need to cooperate?" Shen Lushui asked Song Shutang.
Xue Sangen also said: "We will try our best to meet the needs."
"Meng Jiaqi should be a member of your party, right?" Song Shutang asked about this directly in front of everyone.
After all, the attitudes of Xue Sangeng and Xiong Yuxiang are enough to prove this point.
It's hard to hide it.
Just let Song Shutang make the decision himself.
Xue Sangen didn't hide anything and said directly: "He is not yet a formal party member, he is still in the probation period."
In fact, he lied.
But it was also credible, so Song Shutang did not get to the bottom of it.
"Then there should be a code word for communication, right?"
"some."
"Write a piece of information in secret, and the content is to tell Meng Jiaqi that she and I have already made a private decision for life."
"After meeting Meng Jiaqi, do you want to inform her in code words so that she can show a true relationship with you?" Zhu Yue asked.
Song Shutang nodded and said: "'Mountain Ghost' knows that we are in love, so he will not kill her easily, but will want to torture me through her, which will increase her chance of survival."
"But the 'mountain ghost' just wants to kill the people you care about and make you feel pain."
"If you kill Meng Jiaqi, you will kill me immediately. Will I still have time to feel the pain?" Now the situation is different, and the behavior of the 'mountain ghost' will inevitably change, so Song Shutang made more preparations.
And when he meets Meng Jiaqi with this information, he will naturally tell it secretly if he feels it is needed. If he feels it is not needed, he can just not show it out. It would not be a bad thing to be more prepared.
"No problem." Xue Sangen said.
Then Song Shutang said: "Ask Yan Qinghui and members of the Intelligence Department to set up control at the entrance of Xiao'an Village. Be careful of 'mountain ghosts' who disguise themselves and mingle among the people and leave from the main road."
Only Yan Qinghui has seen the 'Mountain Ghost' and can easily see through his disguise.
"arrange."
After finalizing some details, it was already quite late.
Shen Lushui asked Song Shutang to rest early in the game to maintain his strength for a tough battle tomorrow.
Even though I have no sleep tonight, I naturally have to make use of the time I have.
Without giving Xue Sangen and Xiong Yuxiang a chance to speak, Song Shutang took his leave and went back to rest.
Xue Sangeng and Xiong Yuxiang were sent away from the Military Command Bureau by Zhu Yue. Standing at the door, Xue Sangeng said: "I thought this person was cold before, but now it seems that I was wrong, but it is very worrying that he takes such a risk, but There is nothing we can do to dissuade you in front of the people from the Military Command Bureau."
You urgently asked the Military Command Bureau for help.
Now that someone is willing to take action, why don't you refuse?
Obviously not.
Since you are acting, you must keep acting.
Xiong Yuxiang said: "The situation has reached this point and there is no way to change it. Song Shutang just left first because he didn't want me to say anything later. I can only hope that he is safe and sound."
"Don't say too much about this matter," Xue Sangeng reminded.
Originally, very few people knew about the development of Song Shutang. Now that something happened suddenly, Xue Sangeng and Xiong Yuxiang learned about it, but they had to be careful about what they said.
"I understand." Xiong Yuxiang naturally knew.
He and Xue Sangen were both on the list of later members of the Southern Bureau, so they got this news, which proved that the Bureau trusted the two of them, and they naturally had to live up to this trust.
