This meets the conditions for the current investigation to be at an impasse.
No wonder the 'killer bees' are so bold and the 'spear ants' do not evacuate even after being caught.
"The newspapers and bookstores are all too weak to investigate, but there is not much pressure to investigate just Zhengzhong Bookstore." Zhu Yue felt that he could start the investigation if there was a key scope of suspicion.
Song Shutang followed up and said: "This person may have a close relationship with Zhengzhong Bookstore, and it is very likely that he has worked there before."
"Carry out an investigation by questioning internal personnel of Zhengzhong Bookstore?" Long Hao asked.
"It's very easy to scare off the grass and scare the snake." Zhu Yue denied.
"How to conduct an investigation?"
"Arrange someone to spy secretly."
"yes."
As for Zhu Yue's arrangement, Song Shutang believed that it was correct. Although the 'Hufeng' had not evacuated the mountain city and still stood at its post, it was no different than a frightened bird. I was afraid that it would be extremely vigilant every day, and the slightest movement would cut off the strength of the warrior.
The 'Hunter Bee' is not a hesitant person. He dares to stay out of confidence, but if he finds that the situation is not right, he will immediately retreat without even thinking about it.
The investigation needs to be conducted in secret.
After the discussion, Zhu Yue said: "I will report this matter to the section chief."
Soon Zhu Yue reported the current situation to Shen Lushui.
After hearing this, Shen Lushui did not show any joy, but got up and went to see Bao Yiwei.
In the office of the Director of Military Affairs, Bao Yiwei listened to Shen Lushui's report and said with a serious face: "Are you targeting Zhengzhong Bookstore?"
"Yes, Director."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to investigate."
“It’s easy to create extraneous problems.”
"yes."
"The Central Government will probably intervene, right?" Although Shen Lushui was doubtful, he knew it well.
"With their virtue, how could they just sit back and watch when they smell the fishy smell?"
"This will easily alert the 'killer bees', which will be detrimental to our investigation."
"There must be their spies in Zhengzhong Bookstore. It's hard to hide this." Bao Yiwei said helplessly.
Chen Zuyan, the founder of Zhongtong Bookstore, was also the founder of the Central Unification Secret Service. He even served as the first director of the military unification system. Fortunately, he no longer served concurrently after a short period of time. The second concurrent appointment as director was already a false post, so Boss Dai was able to
Show off your skills.
From this we can see that there must be some insiders in Zhengzhong Bookstore, or even people from Zhongtong.
Can the Central Military Commission watch the military commander investigate Japanese spies?
The conflict between the two institutions has intensified since its establishment!
Logically speaking, there should be no conflict of interest between the military and the central government, but in fact this is not the case.
The struggle has never stopped for a moment, and the two are at odds with each other.
"It happens that this year's Ludong travel incident happened, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome." Shen Lushui said helplessly.
The Ludong Xingyuan Incident was a sensation.
On February 26, 1939, members of the Military Tong Army ordered the Laiyang County Magistrate to lead troops to sneak attack on members of the Central Tong Group and their subordinates, kidnapped the two of them and beat them alive with rocks at night. A total of more than ten people died in this incident.
people.
This shows that the contradiction between military unification and central unification has reached an irresolvable point.
After the incident, the Central Military Commission filed a complaint with the chairman of the committee, but in the end it was ignored.
Now Zhongtong feels uncomfortable in his heart. Knowing that your investigation of Japanese spies will not allow you to get what you want, he is afraid that he will step in to steal the credit, or at the worst, sabotage your investigation.
"To date, the Central United States has not cracked down a Japanese spy organization in the mountain city, and has never captured a single Japanese spy or traitor. On the contrary, almost all the Central United agents lurking in the occupied areas have rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. This time they will not even think of taking a piece of our hands.
Soup." Bao Yiwei has no good impression of Zhongtong.
"Lest they break the jar and deliberately disturb the tiger bees, we will not be able to investigate."
"So we must seize the time and catch the tiger bees before the other party wants to intercept them."
Bao Yiwei knew very well that at the beginning, the Central Unification Committee wanted to seize credit from the military commanders and would not do anything to alert the enemy, so there would be a short investigation time.
The Intelligence Division must seize this opportunity now.
The pressure in Shen Lushui's heart increased sharply.
Especially when it comes to Zhongtong, if he is really sabotaged and arrested and returns without success, or if he is allowed to capture the 'Tiger Bee' first, then the anger on the top of the mountain will definitely be overwhelming.
"Who did you contact before asking Zhengzhong Bookstore to provide photo information?" Bao Yiwei asked.
"General Manager of the Bookstore."
"Has the Ministry of Culture revealed that the information we want is behind it?"
"Of course we have been warned not to reveal the information, but the Minister of Culture has been friends with the General Manager of Zhengzhong Bookstore for more than ten years, and it is related to the Military Unification Bureau. I'm afraid he will reveal something." Shen Lushui did not hold on to this matter. has hope.
"Then prepare for the worst and inform Zhu Yue and Song Shutang that the 'Tiger Bee' must be captured without any loss."
"It's the director."
After leaving Bao Yiwei's office, Shen Lushui immediately called Zhu Yue and Song Shutang into his office to explain the matter clearly.
Zhu Yue frowned involuntarily.
Song Shutang also looked unhappy.
It was already difficult to investigate and capture the 'killer bees'.
Now that the Central Government has suddenly entered the situation to hinder it, the difficulty will not only increase exponentially.
It is very possible that Zhongtong deliberately scares away the "Tiger Bee", how can you prevent it?
It’s impossible to guard against it!
At this moment, it is useless for you to say that the Zhongtong's hand is stretched too far.
The Ludong Xingyuan incident that shocked the general public was ignored. If this matter was brought to the Chairman of the Committee, I am afraid that it would also be harmless to the Central Unification.
"Catching the 'Tiger Bee' before the Central Government jumps over the wall is our only chance." Shen Lushui emphasized.
"Understood." Zhu Yue and Song Shutang agreed in unison.
No matter how difficult it is, it cannot be used as an excuse for you to fail to complete the task.
Leaving Shen Lushui, Zhu Yue and Song Shutang looked at each other, feeling the pressure in each other's eyes.
"How to investigate next?" Zhu Yue asked.
"It must be fast." Song Shutang now clearly understands that speed has become the most critical issue.
Previously, the most critical point was not to alert the ‘killer bees’, but now it is about being quick!
Zhu Yue immediately said: "Ask someone in Zhengzhong Bookstore for information."
This is currently the fastest way.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Deputy Editor Tao Xianwen." Zhu Yue was a little familiar with this person.
Song Shutang also read Tao Xianwen's information when checking the information. He had joined Zhengzhong Bookstore when it was first established, and he should have a good understanding of various situations in the bookstore.
"Contact Tao Xianwen overnight." Song Shutang said immediately.
Now I can't afford to wait or delay.
"Come directly to the door." Zhu Yue also didn't delay.
Tao Xianwen's address was on Zhongyi Road, not far from Luojiawan. Song Shutang had passed Zhongyi Road many times before when he went to Shangshibanpo, so he was quite familiar with it.
The two walked along Zhongyi Road, then down Chunyangdong Street to Zhongyi Road.
Recognize the house number and knock on the door directly.
Tao Xianwen joined Zhengzhong Bookstore relatively early, and Du Changhai had seen his photo and ruled out the possibility of him being a "tiger bee". He also had detailed knowledge of the bookstore's affairs, so he became their target.
"Who is it?" a woman's voice said.
"I'm looking for Mr. Tao Xianwen. We are friends of Mr. Tao."
"Someone is looking for you in Xianwen."
"Here we come." A middle-aged man answered, walked to the door and opened it.
Seeing Zhu Yue standing outside the door, Tao Xianwen immediately looked uncomfortable.
"Mr. Tao, I would like to take a moment to speak."
"Tell me what you have to say here."
"I'm afraid of the inconvenience."
It was a bit eye-catching to gather in front of the door, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Tao Xianwen turned around, changed his clothes, and said to the room: "I'm going out."
"come back earlier."
"got it."
When Tao Xianwen came out, the three of them found a teahouse nearby.
"I hope editor Tao will forgive me for coming to my door late at night and causing trouble."
"If Team Leader Zhu has something to do, you might as well speak up." Tao Xianwen also knew Zhu Yue, and they had interacted with each other earlier.
"Editor Tao is quick to speak quickly, and I won't beat around the bush. I came here with a request from Editor Tao. I want to consult some things about Zhengzhong Bookstore."
After Zhu Yue finished speaking, he looked at Tao Xianwen with a troubled expression.
"Is there any difficulty?" Zhu Yue asked.
"To tell the truth, a hush-hush order has been issued within the bookstore not to disclose information about the bookstore to the outside world. Can Team Leader Zhu understand this?" Tao Xianwen meant.
Gagging order!
Not disclosed to outsiders!
This outer boundary definitely refers to the Military Command Bureau.
As expected, the gag order must have been issued by the Central Bureau of Statistics.
The Central Bureau of Statistics is so fast that it will cause them big trouble as soon as they come up.
"Editor Tao understands the importance of justice and will help, right?" Zhu Yue was still looking forward to it.
"Team Leader Zhu, please don't embarrass me. I have worked hard at Zhengzhong Bookstore for many years. I don't want all my hard work to go to waste if I make a mistake. I hope Team Leader Zhu will understand."
"We will definitely keep Editor Tao's secret confidential."
"I'm really sorry, Team Leader Zhu, I'd like to excuse you."
Tao Xianwen almost fled from the teahouse. His attitude was very firm, but he refused to cooperate with the intelligence department's inquiries.
"This is Zhongtong." Zhu Yue was a little annoyed as he sat in the teahouse.
How can we investigate even if there is a gag order?
Moreover, even if the Central Commander-in-Chief intends to keep this gag order within a certain range, if it is not kept in full, it will alarm the ‘Humble Bees’. Isn’t this a deliberate attempt to make military unification look ugly?
"The general manager of Zhengzhong Bookstore pays too much attention to personal emotions, likes and dislikes. The bookstore should not be something he can control at will." Even Zhu Yue had a grudge against the general manager of Zhengzhong Bookstore.
