After investing so much effort in a large-scale surveillance investigation, and finally getting hold of clues, the investigation was immediately interrupted. Most of the members of the Intelligence Section were a little uncomfortable with it.
We take two days off to give everyone a rest.
Most of the department staff didn't know what the problem was and just thought the case was closed normally.
It didn't arouse much discussion either.
Or the staff members are aware of the possible problems in these matters and therefore do not take the initiative to discuss them. Being secretive is also a quality that an intelligence worker should possess.
If I'm in a bad mood, I naturally plan to eat something together.
As for drinking.
Members of the Intelligence Section drink less alcohol unless necessary.
In particular, the bureau has clearly stated that drinking alcohol during work is a taboo.
If you drink alcohol in the office, you will be punished.
Song Shutang and the three of them didn't plan to drink. They just had a meal together and had a chat to express the depression in their chests.
Just when the three of them were about to leave together.
Li Tairan, the leader of the second group, also came over and learned that the three of them planned to go to dinner and expressed that they wanted to come together.
He also knew the reason behind this matter, and he was also not in a good mood.
The four of them found a restaurant and as soon as they sat down, Long Hao said, "I feel aggrieved."
Li Tairan nodded in agreement: "Who says it's not the case? In that case, why should our Intelligence Department investigate?"
Definitely check it out.
But we can’t investigate further!
Song Shutang also said a few words. After all, everyone is complaining, so it's not good for you to stand out.
Then start eating.
The topic was also deliberately diverted by Zhu Yue, who did not want to talk more about it.
After all, it was not good for subordinates to gossip when the leader at Shangfeng was involved. Everyone understood Zhu Yue's intentions and did not mention it again.
Then we chatted about some trivial matters.
On the way, Song Shutang asked Zhu Yue: "How do you plan to deal with Yan Dong?"
"Some people don't want Zhang Wenfu to die, and we also need him alive. As for Wang Ren, Yan Dong and others are preparing to carry out the death penalty after the court pronounces the verdict. Although they cannot conduct an in-depth investigation, they want to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and scare the tigers, so that all interested people will restrain themselves."
"Yan Dong is still useful."
This time, the Ordnance Industry Administration took over the shipment from the ordnance factory and sold it to other places, and could not wait for the Japanese spy team to purchase it.
But Yan Dong had dealt with Japanese spies before, and he might be able to provide some information about Japanese spies.
For example, the Red Party had transactions with Yan Dong, which provided important information.
Zhu Yue understood what Song Shutang meant and said: "He will be tried tomorrow."
Li Tairan heard the conversation and asked: "The Six-legged Group has been uprooted. The new spies who came with the 'Mountain Ghost' must be more deeply hidden. They may not contact Yan Dong to purchase weapons and equipment as soon as they arrive.
There are weapons hidden in the mountain city, and you can just pick them up when you come. The 'Mountain Ghost' acted privately, and maybe the purchase of landmines was his personal behavior. Through this, we may not be able to investigate clues related to Japanese espionage."
It’s not that Li Tairan is badmouthing him now.
It's a very reasonable analysis.
Naturally, Song Shutang had also considered this. He smiled and said, "Xian Shen can be considered as a peace of mind."
No matter what the specific situation is.
A first trial is always the right thing to do.
After the meal, the four of them dispersed and went back to rest.
Early the next morning, Song Shutang took Long Hao to interrogate Yan Dong.
This matter was left to him, and Zhu Yue was still busy with the follow-up and finishing work.
As well as the work of the property liquidation committee, Zhu Yue also needs to coordinate.
Return to the interrogation department to meet Cao Yanning.
Yan Dong and others have a higher level of guarding. Anyone who wants to meet or be interrogated needs Cao Yanning to personally approve the order.
"Chief Cao."
"Planning to interrogate Yan Dong?"
"Nothing can be hidden from Section Chief Cao."
"Do you need help?"
"We will ask Section Chief Cao to take action when nothing can be done." Song Shutang felt it was unnecessary.
Yan Dong now knows everything and talks about everything, so interrogation is actually of no use.
Just to see if the spy can be identified based on the information he provided.
But this is the work of the Intelligence Division and has nothing to do with the Interrogation Division.
Therefore, Song Shutang rejected Cao Yanning's kindness.
After getting consent, go to the interrogation room and wait.
After a while, Yan Dong was escorted by members of the interrogation department to the interrogation room.
He sat consciously in his seat, his hands and feet cuffed.
"Do you know what you will face next?" Song Shutang asked directly without any foreshadowing.
Yan Dong's eyes were full of fear. He had vaguely heard some rumors in the past few days, and his lips trembled as he asked: "Are you going to execute me?"
"It seems you've heard about it too."
"I don't want to die." Yan Dong shouted immediately. From Song Shutang's words, he could tell that this was not a rumor at all.
"I will cooperate with you. I can identify Wang Ren and Zhang Wenfu. Please let me live. I really don't want to die." Yan Dong was still begging for mercy.
Now he really regrets it.
Do your own logistics and purchasing work honestly, and make a living in it.
If you have to participate in the sale and smuggling of firearms and ammunition, isn’t it too long for your life?
But before the Dongchuang incident happened, Yan Dong didn't think so, and he was in a state of dissipation every day.
It is difficult for the country to make money.
retribution!
But at this moment, Song Shutang didn't want to make any comments about Yan Dong. Faced with his begging for mercy, he said, "I can give you a chance to make meritorious deeds."
"I have done meritorious service, I have done meritorious service." Yan Dong replied hurriedly.
"If you can find any valuable clues among the guns and ammunition you sell and provide them to us so that we can catch the Japanese spies, you can be convicted and meritorious service."
Yan Dong's face turned bitter when he heard Song Shutang's words.
What did he find?
He was afraid that the other party would discover his identity.
Every time I make a transaction, I choose a temporary location, put down my things, pick up my money, and leave without stopping at all.
He has no grasp of the other party's information at all.
But now it involves whether he can survive, and Yan Dong tries his best to remember.
But there was no useful information. The other party was even more disguised than him, and nothing about his appearance could be seen at all.
Looking at Yan Dong's appearance, one knew that it was too far away and he would not be able to recall it.
In other words, the memories have no value at all.
Song Shutang asked clearly: "When did you trade the landmines?"
This should be the latest transaction.
Yan Dong blurted out: "Two months ago."
When the Intelligence Section investigated the arsenal before, Yan Dong also found out that it was because of landmines, and randomly understood that it might have been traded by him. He had been thinking about this matter for a long time, so the answer was smooth.
"By what means?"
"It's a foreign phone number."
"Didn't anyone look for you during this period?" Song Shutang asked.
If it is a phone call from a foreign company, then it is impossible for Japanese spies not to be interested in people selling arms. After all, being able to catch this handle will be of great help to Japanese spies.
Whether it's threatening or coaxing.
It will all become very easy.
But Yan Dong shook his head and said, "No."
"How did you trade?"
"He said he needed some mines, explosives, and pistols. After I quoted the price, he readily agreed. Then I arranged the transaction location on the south bank. I went over in advance to observe secretly to ensure that the other party came alone. He followed the agreement
I put the money in the designated place, then took the goods and left. I waited for him to leave before I took the money and left."
"You're quite careful."
"I can't help but be careless."
"Aren't you afraid that the other party will keep you instead of money and defraud you of your goods in vain?"
"It's better than exposing your identity to the other party." Yan Dong thought broadly.
The goods are free anyway.
Don't expose yourself and you can always earn it back.
And the other party basically doesn't dare to mess around, after all, it's not good for anyone if it causes trouble.
This shows that the people who came to Yan Dong to buy these things were indeed spies.
After all, the landmine finally appeared in the hands of the "mountain ghost".
But the question is, did the ‘mountain ghost’ arrive in the mountain city two months ago?
The "Mountain Ghost" Kunoki Taka came here to avenge Takeuchi Ichiro, and he was filled with rage. After arriving at the mountain castle, he might start assassinating members of the intelligence department to vent his anger.
It seems that the 'mountain ghost' was not in the mountain city two months ago.
So after the death of the Rokuzu Group, the Doihara Agency arranged a new spy group to enter the mountain city. Did it come at that time?
He should not have come either.
They all depart from Shanghai.
Moreover, they are from the same agency, so the 'Mountain Ghost' and the spy team should have arrived at the mountain city together.
But what Yan Dong traded was in the hands of this spy team.
It seems that the soldiers and horses moved forward before the food and grass were used.
A Japanese spy prepared things in the mountain city in advance, and Doihara arranged for the spy to enter the mountain city to take over the work.
It seems that the spy who came to Yan Dong to buy weapons may be alone.
Therefore, it is difficult to follow and investigate Yan Dong.
But after the new spy team enters the mountain city, can't they still investigate?
Somewhat unreasonable.
It is impossible for a Japanese spy not to be interested in Yan Dong.
The person who can provide guns and ammunition in the mountain city can actually guess the identity of the person with a little use of his brain.
