Chapter four hundred and twentieth the wrong direction
After the Xishan official residence was bombed, except for the few guards and staff who died, the rest were called by the Military Command Bureau for questioning.
Although these people were close to Principal Chang, the Military Command Bureau now had a notorious reputation. Coupled with the bombing, anyone with a discerning eye would know there was a traitor at a glance, so the survivors all came to the Military Command Bureau for questioning.
Although these people are just ordinary guards and staff, they are third-rank officials in front of the prime minister, so neither Li Yunsheng nor Mao Renfeng dare to go too far. Apart from routine inquiries, they dare not do anything out of the ordinary.
After some questioning, there was naturally nothing gained, and Li Yunsheng didn't take it seriously. After all, it was not easy to find clues from these people, not to mention that they couldn't use torture, so he said to Mao Renfeng: "Deputy Director Mao,
Have you discovered anything?"
Mao Renfeng Gujing said calmly: "It's just a routine inquiry, how can I find anything."
Mao Renfeng had a huge headache on how to crack the case. After all, the guards around the leader were not capable of torture, so it would be very difficult to find the culprit.
Li Yunsheng also knew that it was very difficult to solve this case, so he thought about it and said calmly: "Deputy Director Mao, I checked the files and found out that after the Japanese bombed the Xishan official residence, these people were detained and did not go home at all.
So have we searched the homes of these people?"
Mao Renfeng shook his head and said cautiously: "Those who can serve as the leader's bodyguards have some connections in their families. Without evidence, we searched their residences. Some of them were not good.
Besides, there are more than twenty people in custody. If they were all searched, the noise would be huge."
After listening to Mao Renfeng's words, Li Yunsheng frowned and thought that this is indeed the case. Although the Military Command Bureau now has a lot of power, it is still restrained in the face of the big shots of the National Government. So he sighed and said: "With such restrained investigation, I want to
It is really difficult to find the traitor."
Mao Renfeng said in a low voice: "This case is indeed difficult to investigate. After all, we have a lot of worries. But I think the chance of problems with these guards and staff is relatively small. After all, they have been with the leader for many years. If they defect to the Japanese, they will not
It will be enabled now."
There is some truth to what Mao Renfeng said, but it is not necessarily true, because these people are likely to have been bribed by the Japanese in the near future, and there is also a possibility that the Japanese want Principal Chang's life only now.
Because in the past one or two years, although there was a war between China and Japan, Principal Chang's determination to resist was not very strong, and he would make peace with the Japanese from time to time. However, after Wang knelt down and treason, a dead Principal Chang was more in line with the Japanese.
and the interests of the pseudo-government, so they took action.
However, Li Yunsheng was not sure about the inside story. After thinking for a while, he said: "Deputy Director Mao, although these people have been with the leader for many years and have a certain status in their families, they may be bribed by the Japanese in the near future, so it is not as good as
Please ask for instructions and search their residence. After all, there will definitely be a large amount of property of unknown origin in the Japanese spy's home.
Moreover, the people around these leaders are not ordinary people, and the things the Japanese use to buy them are either huge amounts of money or very precious things, so we can start from there."
After listening to Li Yunsheng's words, Mao Renfeng looked embarrassed, and then said cautiously: "Yunsheng, who among the current government officials does not have some property of unknown origin? If we use this as a clue to investigate, the impact will be huge."
, and will become the target of public criticism.”
Li Yunsheng frowned again, and then he thought that the National Government was so corrupt that it really couldn't investigate like this, so he sighed and said: "Deputy Director Mao, but we have no other clues, and we can't force torture. I really can't think of anything else but this way."
Find another way."
Mao Renfeng also frowned, thought for a while, and then said: "Well, a large-scale search will definitely not work. It is better for the two of us to go to the door in person and investigate quietly to see if there are any people with unknown origins in these families.
property."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Yunsheng with a meaningful look.
Looking at Mao Renfeng's meaningful gaze, Li Yunsheng immediately understood that as long as the source of the property could be revealed, it could not be investigated, so he nodded without expressing any other opinion.
After that, the two men left the Military Command Bureau with several agents and began to search these people's homes.
Li Yunsheng and Mao Renfeng both had low military ranks and were figures with real power. The two of them went to the house to search in person and conducted the search quietly. This was enough to give them face, so the relatives of those involved in the case were not troublesome.
, and accepted the search obediently.
It took a full half day to complete the search. Although the people involved in the case all had considerable property, through investigation, the source of these properties could be clearly explained. Even if some were not glorious, they were not related to the Japanese.
Doesn't matter.
Faced with this result, Li Yunsheng was a little helpless, and then looked at the files of the case again, and suddenly found a doubt, so he asked Mao Renfeng: "Deputy Director Mao, I just looked at the files again and found that the Xishan official residence was
On the day of the bombing, the leader had been living there for five days."
At this time, Mao Renfeng was worried. After all, he had been struggling all morning but found nothing. So when he heard Li Yunsheng's words, he said impatiently: "It's true that I stayed for five days, and this is like this."
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Maybe our investigation direction is wrong, because if someone close to the leader leaks the secret, then the Japanese planes will not wait for the leader to stay for five days before bombing."
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Mao Renfeng was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "You are right, if there is a traitor around the leader, it will indeed not take so long."
Li Yunsheng then spoke: "Since the problem is not with the people around the leader, then it should be the problem with the people the leader met that day."
Mao Renfeng frowned and said very carefully: "The leader met with five people that day. However, these people are high-ranking people in the government and are the leader's confidants. They will not betray easily."
Li Yunshang said pointedly: "That's not necessarily true. The man in Shanghai who was once the second-largest figure in the government has also defected to the Japanese."
Li Yunsheng could not trust the officials within the National Government. After all, many important figures had defected to the Japanese.
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Mao Renfeng's expression changed a little. After all, although his words were direct, they were indeed true, and with Wang kneeling down and treason, no one could guarantee whether any big shot would continue to rebel.
After a few minutes of silence, Mao Renfeng said: "What you said makes sense, but I still think there is no problem with the people the leader met that day, because the time does not match up. After all, these people did not know the leader's identity before he met them.
residence.
What's more, they were also at the Xishan mansion when the Japanese planes bombed, and the bombs don't know people, so these people wouldn't be so stupid as to use their own lives to show the way to the Japanese."
After listening to Mao Renfeng's words, Li Yunsheng nodded involuntarily. After all, the time did not match up, and what he said later made sense, because the purpose of taking refuge in the Japanese high-ranking officials was for power and money, and these traitors should all
I am very afraid of death and will definitely not risk my life.
A few minutes later, Li Yunsheng spoke again: "There will be no problems with these big shots, but what about the people around them? After all, Japanese spies know that if these people go to see the leader, they can find out the whereabouts of the leader as long as they follow them, and the Japanese
As long as the plane is ready, it will only take an hour from Wuhan Airport to Chongqing."
Mao Renfeng nodded and said in agreement: "This is possible. It seems that we should investigate the families of these important people now."
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "Deputy Director Mao, the five people the leader met that day are all important military generals and government officials. There are many people around each of them. They want to find suspicious targets.
It’s too easy, and if there is a public investigation, it may be possible to alert the snake.”
Mao Renfeng was able to become the deputy director of the Military Command Bureau, so he was certainly not a simple person, so after listening to Li Yunsheng's words, he immediately said: "You mean a secret investigation."
Li Yunsheng nodded, and then said: "Those who can get information from these big shots should be their confidants, and we can find suspicious targets as long as we use man-to-man tracking."
Mao Renfeng also agreed with Li Yunsheng's opinion and immediately said: "That's it. I will immediately recruit some new faces and keep an eye on these people."
Afterwards, the two people discussed for a while and felt that there were no flaws, so they started arranging manpower.
Since Li Yunsheng had been out of town and was not familiar with the people at the headquarters, all personnel arrangements were left to Mao Renfeng.
Chongqing is the home base of the Military Command Bureau, and there are many capable manpower. Even if there are many people to watch this time, it is still a small matter for the Military Command headquarters, so within a few minutes, Mao Renfeng completed the arrangements.
After everything was arranged, Mao Renfeng spoke again: "We are just waiting for news now, hoping that the suspicious target can be discovered earlier."
Li Yunsheng said slowly: "With the caution of Japanese spies, it is not easy to find this target. I estimate that the time will not be short, so we must be patient."
Mao Renfeng frowned, but he also knew that Japanese spies were always careful, and the Xishan official residence had just been bombed. The other party also knew that the Military Command Bureau would investigate the matter thoroughly and would definitely be very careful, so he sighed and said: "The leader has a deadline.
If the case is solved in a month, if this deadline is exceeded..." At this point, Mao Renfeng glanced at Li Yunsheng, with a helpless look in his eyes.
Li Yunsheng didn't care about this deadline. Anyway, he couldn't solve the case on time, and he had a chess game to hold him back, and he also had a secret chess move, so he didn't say much.
