After several inspections in just a few days, with no rest and no rest, Song Shutang looked tired, his beard was unkempt and he looked slightly depressed.
Today's review is much the same, destined to make no progress and end on an unhappy note.
Song Shutang knew the secrets well, but he resolutely chose to come back to face this seemingly endless scrutiny.
I originally thought that I would use Cao Yanning's personal character to anger him today so that the Military Department and Operations Department would intervene to help him get out of trouble, but I never thought that Cao Yanning would stop at the cliff.
So when will this review end?
"There is something fishy about the Sword Holding Group. Mr. Song may have to stay in the interrogation department for a few more days. I hope you can forgive me." Cao Yanning was full of patience and was fully prepared to deal with the prestigious members of the Sword Holding Group.
After saying this, Cao Yanning left the interrogation room, and Song Shutang was taken down to be imprisoned and guarded. The matter was not yet over.
Without returning to his office, Cao Yanning went directly to the office of Wan Chunping, director of the Judicial Department.
"Report."
"Come in."
"Director."
"How was the review?" Wan Chunping put down the documents in his hands and asked.
"No leaks."
"There are only a handful of people who can be praised like you, Cao Tiemian."
"There is no mediocre person in the Sword Holding Team. Besides, he joined the team midway, so he is not easy to deal with. I saw it today."
"tell me the story."
Cao Yanning briefly explained what happened today. After listening, Wan Chunping said: "It seems that he had anticipated today's disaster."
"It's not difficult to predict. Routine review is indispensable. What's commendable is that he knows me well." There is something in Cao Yanning's words.
Wan Chunping pondered briefly and said: "Don't add extraneous matters, just be responsible for the review, and don't interfere with anything else."
"It is very difficult to examine the three suspects."
“It’s difficult to check even if it’s difficult.”
"But it's time."
"No time limit."
"No limit..." Cao Yanning was about to speak but stopped.
"If you have any questions, just ask."
"Song Shutang is fine here, but Yan Qinghui, Nie Hong, the Telecommunications Department and the General Affairs Department called many times to inquire about the situation, urge the review, and want to recruit people."
"The Hunan and Guangdong systems are quite active," Wan Chunping pointed out.
There are many military factions, including the Hunan faction, the Guangdong faction, and the Zhejiang faction, which can be regarded as three pillars. However, the Zhejiang faction is the most powerful, and among them, the "Jiangshan faction" from the Zhejiang faction is even more popular.
The leader of the Sword Holding Group, Tian Gu, was a member of the Jiangshan Sect from Zhejiang. Unfortunately, he died this time, otherwise the Jiangshan Sect would not be so quiet.
Yan Qinghui was born in the telecommunications department and was a native of Huaihua, Hunan. Otherwise, he would not have been transferred to the Sword Holding Team due to his outstanding abilities, so this time the Hunan department naturally came to help.
Nie Hong was born in the automobile brigade of the General Affairs Office and is a native of Zhongshan, Guangdong. He has superb driving skills and has all kinds of transportation at his fingertips. Naturally, the Guangdong department will not sit idly by.
On the contrary, people like Song Shutang, who could not be trusted by Thirteen, suddenly became an existence that no one cared about.
"Director, if the Sword Holding Group was robbed this time, will there be any conflicts with the faction..."
"Be careful what you say." Cao Yanning was interrupted by Wan Chunping mid-sentence.
"As the old saying goes, don't create extraneous matters, just be responsible for the review."
"yes."
While talking, the phone on Wan Chunping's desk rang. He reached out to pick up the phone, and Wan Chunping's expression changed slightly.
Putting down the phone, he said to Cao Yanning: "Come to the secretary's office with me and see Director Mao."
"What's up?"
"I just said that no one was paying attention to him, and now no one is here."
"Song Shutang? Do you want us to release him?"
"Of course I'm not letting him go. We'll find out when he gets there."
…
…
Song Shutang looked out the window as the sun was setting and the moon was rising.
Suddenly he heard footsteps coming from outside. Not long after, the interrogation department officer opened his door and took him out again.
When they arrived at the interrogation room, they saw that Cao Yanning had already taken a seat, but there was another person beside him. Song Shutang recognized him at a glance. This person was Shen Lushui, chief of the Intelligence Section of the Military Intelligence Division (Military Division).
Before returning to the mountain city, Song Shutang was familiar with and mastered the information about the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau in advance.
Sitting down on the stool, he looked at Cao Yanning.
Cao Yanning glanced at Shen Lushui and said, "Chief Shen, it's up to you to do the talking."
"Section Chief Cao and I just came from the secretary's office." Shen Lushui's voice was strong, and paired with his quiet face, he looked personable.
"Are you going to use the Intelligence Department to review me?" Song Shutang chuckled.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to help examine you, but to give you a chance to prove your innocence."
"Self-proven innocence?"
"good."
"It seems that I am no longer qualified to say that those who are innocent will self-purify themselves."
"Opportunities are rare." Shen Lushui said seriously.
Song Shutang knew in his heart that the Military Department and Operations Department must have been involved, otherwise he would not have any chance to prove his innocence.
Although the Sword Holding Group is composed of elites drawn from various places, after it is formed, it takes orders from two divisions. Now that something like this happens to the Sword Holding Group, the directors of the two divisions naturally do not want to see it. It is the work of members within the group.
As for why this opportunity was given to him, Song Shutang had some guesses in his mind.
Although Shen Lushui was the same as him and did not come from three different places, the director of the military department was from Zhejiang, so Shen Lushui would follow him.
As a result, Yan Qinghui and Nie Hong will not be chosen at the first opportunity.
"How to prove your innocence?" Song Shutang asked.
"It's very simple, catch the spy."
But for some reason, Cao Yanning, who was sitting nearby, looked a little stiff when he heard the word "Jian".
If you suspect that you have taken refuge with the Japanese, then arresting Japanese spies will naturally destroy your suspicions.
"What do you need me to do?" Judging from Cao Yanning's face, Song Shutang didn't think it was simple.
When Shen Lushui finished speaking, Song Shutang's expression was exactly the same as Cao Yanning's.
"Chief Shen, are you sure this is an opportunity?" Song Shutang felt like he had heard a fantasy.
"Of course it's an opportunity."
"You are not asking me to prove my innocence. You are pushing me to commit suicide."
"This task may be difficult for others, but for Song Shutang, your sword-holding team, it's not impossible to give it a try."
"You think highly of me."
"The leader of the Sword Holding Group, 'Tiangu', made an exception and admitted you to join midway because of your learning ability. The members of the Sword Holding Group are all your teachers. They have their own special skills. In this year, with your Your talent must be able to acquire seven or eight points of skills, and you should have a chance to cope with this task."
The matter of the Sword Holding Group should be reported to the Military Department and Operations Department. It is reasonable for Shen Lushui to know this.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll never come back and tip off Japanese spies?"
"To be honest, this task is of great importance, but there is no suitable candidate. Although you are still in the review stage, you can handle it specially. Moreover, the director does not believe that you have defected to the Japanese, so he is under great pressure to seek for you to prove your innocence. You have to seize the opportunity."
Cao Yanning sat aside silently, but he could not help but wonder in his mind whether the military department was planning to take advantage of Song Shutang, or was it because it thought he died not fast enough and was adding fuel to the fire later?
After all, this task is far more difficult than imagined.
He believed that Song Shutang might refuse to perform the task and continue to cooperate with the interrogation department's review. After all, a slow review is better than a sure one.
But Song Shutang said: "Thank you, Director, for the opportunity. If I didn't take it, I would be disrespectful."
Song Shutang understood at this moment that helping him out of trouble was just a matter of course, but that the Intelligence Department really needed a suitable person to help them complete this task.
As for what kind of trouble it would bring to Song Shutang if they could not complete the task, they did not consider it.
But nowadays, Song Shutang must try his best to seize any opportunity, even if it is such a difficult opportunity.
"It seems I don't have to waste any more words." Shen Lushui said with a smile.
"Thank you, Director, for me."
"There's no rush. If you complete the task, you can thank the director in person."
"That's fine."
Cao Yanning looked at Song Shutang, are you really sure you can complete the task?
It's easy to say that at this moment, if you can't complete the task, the situation will only get worse.
Shen Lushui stood up and said, "I've finished my words. I'll go back and get back to you first. As for the relevant information, someone will send it to you later. I'll pick you up in two days. I'll have to trouble Section Chief Cao in the next two days."
"It's our duty." Cao Yanning stood up to see him off.
After returning from sending Shen Lushui, Cao Yanning stood in front of Song Shutang and said, "If you want to refuse, I can help you."
"Cao Tiemian is indeed selfless, but how can I give up this great opportunity?"
Great opportunity?
Cao Yanning turned around and left, telling the interrogation officer: "I'll provide him with good food, drink, and plenty of rest for these two days, and don't disturb him."
Give you your best, he wants to see if this is a great opportunity, or if it's just a big deal.
Song Shutang knew that Cao Yanning had such a character, so he left the interrogation room without saying thanks and went back to rest and recharge his batteries.
Shen Lushui is right, opportunities are rare, and you must seize them when you encounter them. Although it is difficult, Shen Lushui is right in what he said.
The members of the Sword Holding Group are all his teachers. After studying for so long, they have to take charge of themselves.
Now without their protection, it's time to test the results.
