Under the surveillance of the military police, Kitazawa committed suicide in his residence. His intermediary was the confidential squad leader of the Mei Agency's intelligence team. Perhaps the only thing he did right was to find a good intermediary.
.
The opponent was born in a Japanese samurai family and had learned to use a knife since he was a child. He had just stabbed the knife into his abdomen, and when his head drooped to expose his neck, he slashed with the knife without even completely separating the head and neck. Such a skill
, and also received praise from the military police. It is not easy to achieve this step.
If the force is a little too strong, his head will roll to the ground. If the force is a little too weak, Kitazawa cannot be killed with one blow, but will cause even greater pain.
Yazaki Kanju could not make things too public, so he quietly prepared a good coffin for Kitazawa Ping. After the body was cremated, it was put into an urn and then into a coffin. Then it was brought back by a local ship carrying goods. Shibayama
Kenshiro will send someone to wait at the port and take the ashes to Kitazawa Ping's hometown for burial.
Zheng Tonghui also set up a mourning hall at his home. If he didn't do this, it would arouse suspicion. Comrades from the newspaper and several old friends of Zheng Tonghui were in charge of the funeral here. The organization also knew that something had happened to Zheng Tonghui, and they had already had this mentality.
Prepare.
Chen Mingxiang sent people to collect the body, changed clothes and shoes, cleaned it up as cleanly as possible, put it into a good coffin, and found a cemetery.
"Our whole family would like to thank Mr. Chen for taking care of Lao Zheng!" Zheng Tonghui's wife bowed to Chen Mingxiang.
This is a middle-aged woman who looks very kind. There is a boy and a girl at home, both about 20 years old. It can be seen that the whole family is somewhat malnourished.
This was the first time Chen Mingxiang visited Zheng Tonghui's home. It was full of old furniture. If he hadn't sent a sum of money, even the funeral would have been a problem. Some days for Zheng Tonghui's friends and colleagues would have been much worse.
"Lao Zheng and I are also old friends. I feel very sad about his unfortunate death. After the funeral, you ask the two children to come to Mala Villa to find me. I will arrange for them to work in the government department. Lao Zheng never
Not talking about things at home, I didn’t know that my life was so miserable." Chen Mingxiang said.
He respects the spirit of underground party members like Zheng Tonghui who, despite the threat of death, still kept secrets and were killed by the enemy.
In the Shanghai market, he has the ability to provide some help to improve the life of the whole family. As for whether the Zheng family is willing to accept it, that is not his problem.
"Mr. Chen, my name is Xu Huayan. I opened a stationery store in the former French Concession. How was Lao Zheng killed?" asked a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a robe.
"The Japanese spies from the intelligence team of the Mei Agency believed that Lao Zheng was an underground party. He refused to admit it and did not confess anything. He died under torture." Chen Mingxiang said sadly.
After Zheng Tonghui's death, his contact with the underground party was temporarily interrupted, because he only had one contact person in Shanghai, Lao Zheng. However, some of the information he currently had could not be given to the underground party in time. For example, there were people in the Shanghai underground party organization.
Agents and traitors.
He had an important reception in the evening and couldn't stay here for long. He said he would come back to visit tomorrow and went back to Villa Mara for the time being.
"Chen Mingxiang is a high-ranking official in Wang's puppet government. He currently serves as a political affairs committee member of the puppet Executive Yuan and the police chief of the Ministry of Interior. He works many part-time jobs in Shanghai, the more important ones being the deputy director of the municipal police department and the deputy director of the social bureau. Because he works for the Japanese
People who engage in smuggling are called economic traitors."
"But his behavior is very strange. You can't find any evil deeds on his part. He works part-time and rarely goes to work. He doesn't do anything to bully good people. Instead, he has a very good reputation in the eyes of ordinary people in Shanghai.
Gao, known as a great philanthropist in the Shanghai Stock Exchange."
"The Zhabei relief station he opened is the largest and most famous relief station in Shanghai. So far, it has protected 20,000 to 30,000 people from starving to death. Half of them are the elderly, orphans, and homeless people.
I think this is an attainable goal," Xu Huayan said.
As the leader of the underground municipal committee, he was one of the few people who knew Zheng Tonghui's identity. Although Zheng Tonghui's sacrifice was not related to each other this time, he came to help. On the surface, the two were friends.
It was also through the funeral of Comrade Zheng Tonghui that he met his superiors temporarily. It was not necessary and they did not meet every day.
"There is a large area of food shortage in the Shanghai market, and the Central Reserve Bonds have fallen sharply. The funds from the superiors are only a drop in the bucket. During this period, our underground municipal party committee is having a very difficult time. The food supplies that Comrade Zheng Tonghui helped us probably came from Chen Mingxiang.
Got it."
"I'm thinking that maybe Chen Mingxiang knows Lao Zheng's identity, or there is a tacit understanding between Lao Zheng and him not to be revealed. Let's ask our superiors first to find out what's going on in this matter. It's so important.
He is a good person, and his superiors will definitely notice him." said the person in charge of the underground municipal party committee.
Zheng Tonghui belongs to the special department of the Yanzhou base area. He and Chen Mingxiang have always had a single line of contact. The contact between the two parties is handled by the intelligence department of the Yanzhou base area. This is also done to ensure Chen Mingxiang's safety. The more people who know, the greater the danger.
The bigger it is.
Neither the underground municipal party committee nor the enemy's Ministry of Industry in Central China knew about the secret dealings between the base area and Chen Mingxiang. There were strict disciplines in underground work.
"This Chen Mingxiang is indeed the leader of smuggling in Central China. He was very generous when he bought the Mara Villa. He gave the Zheng family ten small yellow croakers and three million China Reserve Certificates at one time. Not only for the funeral, but also for the family's life at least
You don’t have to worry about it in a short period of time." Xu Huayan said.
Most members of the underground party are very poor. Even the little money they earn by hiding their identities will be used for work. They fight for their ideals and beliefs.
Zheng Tonghui is ostensibly the editor-in-chief of a newspaper and the manager of Yunhua Restaurant, and his income is very considerable. However, almost all of his money goes to support the organization and comrades, and the family often cannot find the cause.
"Chen Mingxiang promised to arrange for Lao Zheng's children to work in government departments. With his care, they must have a good position. I would suggest using these China Reserve Bonds to buy rice immediately, otherwise, after the New Year, the price of rice will still be high.
It’s going to go up.”
"The 60,000 yuan of central reserve bonds per kilo meter is thousands of times more than before the Anti-Japanese War. Looking at the current market, it will still rise after New Year's Day. I don't know how many people will starve to death in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Some of our comrades' homes have long been
After a meal, you have to buy briquettes for heating and cooking. Heating is secondary, you have to burn coal for cooking!" The person in charge of the underground municipal party committee said helplessly.
