Song Shutang was not the only one willing to live and die together, Uncle Li was not the only one.
‘Tiangu’ is the leader of the Sword Holding Group, but Uncle Li is more like the patriarch of the Sword Holding Group. Asking him to abandon his own children to evacuate would be even more unacceptable than taking his life.
So stay alive!
It is not life in the simple sense. It is difficult to express the torment and pain deep in my heart.
What's more, Uncle Li's legs are disabled, and the gap between the front and back is so large that ordinary people can't overcome it.
The phantom pain that often appeared inexplicably in his legs kept Uncle Li unable to sleep for a long time late at night. His comrades died in battle and he was unable to retrieve the truth, and he was tortured by guilt in every possible way.
Stay alive!
It can't be said to be a blessing.
What happened that day was that Uncle Li was knocked unconscious by the bomb. Song Shutang carried him on his back when he was evacuating. If he hadn't been in a coma, he knew that no matter what method he tried, he would not be able to take Uncle Li away.
Without looking far away at Song Shutang, Uncle Li immediately started tapping the shoes, as if repairing them was his main concern.
Weird?
Of course he would not blame Song Shutang, let alone reveal his suffering in front of him.
Uncle Li is still protecting Song Shutang in his own way, even if this kind of care is of no avail for the danger Song Shutang will face next.
Leave from Shangshibanpo, take the middle branch road, pass Chunyangdong Street, pass by Guanyin Rock, and walk towards the vicinity of Luojiawan.
Song Shutang returned to the residence arranged by the military commander and lay down on the bed to rest.
Today's meeting with Uncle Li gave him some peace of mind, which was somewhat unstable.
He understood that the next thing he had to do was to wait for the work arrangements from the Military Command Headquarters. At the same time, he knew very well that the Bureau Headquarters would not immediately arrange for him to go on field missions. After all, the review had not yet been completely completed.
…
…
Shen Lushuang held the document in his hand outside the office of the Director of the Military Intelligence Department and shouted a report.
"Come in."
"Director."
Bao Yiwei looked at Shen Lushui with a tired look on his face, knowing that he had been interrogating him all night and stayed up all night.
Putting the documents on Bao Yiwei's desk, Shen Lushui reported: "The spy didn't speak."
"Can't the interrogation department pry the spy's mouth open?"
"This Japanese spy had a very strong willpower. He was equipped with all kinds of torture instruments. He passed out several times, but he refused to speak."
After hearing this, Bao Yiwei couldn't help but feel a little admired.
Then I thought about the military commander again. It is not that there are no such loyal people, but there are also countless rebels. When they fight now, they often deal with their old friends and colleagues.
Those who know the root and bottom of the fight have come and gone, but they are far less effective than the early stages of the War of Resistance.
Before these words were spoken, Bao Yiwei looked at the interrogation materials, then put them down and said: "It will be difficult to launch the follow-up investigation?"
"The other party was very careful. The clues found at the residence were limited. The people captured other than him opened their mouths under torture, but nothing was clear, and they could not provide valuable information."
"Continue to conduct in-depth investigations, find out social connections, don't let go of any clues, let the interrogation department continue the interrogation, and ask the medical staff to be on standby outside the door at any time." Bao Yiwei will not let this Japanese spy go easily, and he will not be able to squeeze out his value.
The meaning of arrest is much smaller.
"It's the director."
After reporting the interrogation issues, Shen Lushui turned around and said: "Song Shutang has been released by the interrogation department."
Originally, Shen Lushui wanted to see Song Shutang when he came out of the interrogation room today, but learned that he had been let out in the morning.
Bao Yiwei was not surprised when he heard this: "Wan Chunping is afraid of getting into some trouble."
The Judicial Department is not afraid of trouble, but Wan Chunping is not willing to get involved in any unnecessary trouble.
"Director, should we and the Operations Division fight over Song Shutang or not?"
"Not only the Operations Division, but also the Party and Government Intelligence Division (Political Division) also want to get involved."
"It's understandable that the Operations Department interfered. The Political Department came to join in the fun, and there's nothing they can do about it." Shen Lushui strongly disapproved of the Political Department's behavior.
"'Tiangu' came back with a telegram at that time, saying that he wanted Song Shutang to join the Sword Supporting Group. Although the telegram clearly stated that he was a man of talent, I just didn't want to refute 'Tiangu''s reputation, so I signed and agreed. But now It seems that I have made a mistake, and the growth rate is astonishingly fast."
"The most indispensable thing in the military is genius." Shen Lushui thinks that genius is nothing. He has seen a lot. Being able to survive in the battle is the key.
"So what do you think is the key to his survival this time?" Bao Yiwei suddenly asked.
Shen Lushui knew Bao Yiwei's character well and understood the purpose of his question, but he said: "But he caught a spy."
"But the spy remained tight-lipped and did not reveal any more information."
"How could the Japanese sacrifice such a loyal spy to confirm Song Shutang's identity? This is unreasonable."
"It's indeed unreasonable, but it's not impossible."
"What does the Director mean?"
"Having Song Shutang participate in this follow-up investigation of the Japanese spy will allow him to further prove his innocence." Bao Yiwei killed two birds with one stone.
It can not only keep Song Shutang in the military department, but also further confirm his identity.
In the end, Song Shutang still had to stay. Shen Lushui couldn't help but smile and said: "The director is building the plank road openly and secretly to Chencang."
If we remain suspicious of Song Shutang, we will have enough reasons to let him stay, which further proves that innocence is of great importance, and the Operations Department and the Political Department will lose their competitive advantage.
"Let Song Shutang report to the Intelligence Department tomorrow. You don't have to go through the Human Resources Department. I'll say hello to the top."
"It's the director."
"When a person stays, he cannot leave any hidden dangers. You are responsible for doing the final investigation. Just use this mission to find out about him thoroughly."
"My subordinate understands."
Talent can be retained.
Hidden dangers are not.
It seems that Song Shutang is innocent now, but caution is a necessary quality in intelligence work. Doing the final investigation is not unnecessary, but a good habit.
"How are Yan Qinghui and Nie Hong doing the review?" Bao Yiwei is also concerned about the review of the Sword Holding Group.
"Cao Yanning should have nothing to gain here."
"Since they dare to come back, how can they easily reveal their flaws? Cao Tiemian may be in trouble this time."
"Director, do you think the problem lies with the three of them?" The three are naturally Yan Qinghui, Nie Hong, and Song Shutang.
"It's too early to draw conclusions."
Bao Yiwei will not draw conclusions easily now. After all, this matter is very involved, and it even involves factional fights between the Hunan, Guangdong, and Zhejiang factions.
If factional fighting led to this tragedy, one can imagine the fury of the thunder above.
Bao Yiwei even hoped that someone would defect to the enemy and rebel.
However, Yan Qinghui from the Hunan Clan and Nie Hong from the Guangdong Clan came back safe and sound, but the team leader "Tiangu" led his people to sacrifice heroically. By coincidence, two of the sacrificed people were also from the Zhejiang Clan, so it couldn't be helped. Others are suspicious.
There is a lot of discussion within the bureau, and all parties now dare not make random guesses, and are waiting for the Judicial Department to give an answer.
The pressure on Wan Chunping can be imagined, and he did not dare to speak nonsense without evidence, so Song Shutang said that Yan Qinghui and Nie Hong would most likely survive the review.
After all, the interrogation department does not dare to forcibly accuse someone. The results of the review will be whatever they are. If there is no evidence, there is no evidence.
The Hunan Department and the Guangdong Department were anxious to recruit people because they were worried that the interrogation department would determine that Yan Qinghui or Nie Hong had problems, and they would be passive.
This matter would not be clear for a while, so Bao Yiwei asked Shen Lushui to go to work, while he wrote a note to Song Shutang to report to the Intelligence Department.
