Hearing the knock on the door, Qiao Mu put Ye Mingzhu into the drawer, sat up straight and said, "Come in!"
Shen Zhifeng stepped in, greeted Qiao Mucai first, and then said to Jiang Xinyu on the side: "Captain Jiang has worked hard, when did you come back?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "I just got off the train."
"How's it going? Is everything going well in Peiping?"
"It's okay, just so-so."
Qiao Mucai coughed lightly and said, "Director Shen, is something wrong?"
Shen Zhifeng hesitated for a moment, and Jiang Xinyu immediately stood up and said, "Stationmaster, you guys talk, I'll go back first."
Qiao Mucai nodded and said: "There is nothing at the station today. Go back early. My family must be thinking about me very much if I haven't been home for so long."
After Jiang Xinyu left the stationmaster's office, Qiao Mu took a sip from the tea bowl and said to Shen Zhifeng, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"According to my investigation, the case in Apartment No. 1 was obviously leaked by an insider!"
"Didn't you say that everyone with knowledge of that case is fine?"
"Webmaster, whether there is a problem or not, it's all relative terms. As long as you are an insider, you can't be without suspicion at all!"
Qiao Mucai frowned and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"The insiders are not limited to those few people."
"Who else?"
"Captain Jiang is also an insider!"
"How did he know about this?"
"That day, there was a problem with the monitoring team's equipment. Jiang Xinyu went to check the work. He had the opportunity to see the instructions I left for Zhang Nina!"
"Just tell me the conclusion."
"The conclusion is that Jiang Xinyu had enough time to inform Zhou Weiming, if they were accomplices!"
"that's it?"
"yes."
"So, you doubt Jiang Xinyu?"
"Webmaster, it's not me who I suspect, until the suspicion is ruled out"
Qiao Mucai made a stop gesture and said solemnly: "Zhifeng, I want to remind you, don't doubt your own people without any basis. It will not do you or this website any good!"
Having just received Jiang Xinyu's gift, Qiao Mucai had even a hint of doubt in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it was true, not to mention that Shen Zhifeng was just guessing.
Qiao Mucai tried his best to defend him, but Shen Zhifeng had no choice but to shut up. He was silent for a moment and said: "Since you believe him, I can't say anything. I hope you are right."
Seeing that Shen Zhifeng was in a mood, Qiao Mu smiled, stood up and said, "Zhifeng, I am doing this for your own good. Are you going to offend the leaders of Yanjin Station all over again? In that case, how can we carry out our work in the future! "
Shen Zhifeng thought about it carefully and realized that it was just like what Qiao Mucai said. Zhou Junchen now had a strong opinion of him, not to mention Zhang Nina, who was also very angry when they met.
Qiao Mucai said: "There is something I have thought about for a long time, and it is most appropriate to send you to do it."
"You say."
"Do you know Shigeyasu Ishikawa?"
Shen Zhifeng thought for a moment and said: "I know. He is the major general's chief of staff of the fifth independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army."
Qiao Mucai nodded, looked at Shen Zhifeng, and said, "Yes, the subordinate of Okamura of the North China Front. The task assigned to you is to protect his absolute safety in Yanjin!"
Shen Zhifeng said in surprise: "Protect Ishikawa? I heard that he was listed as the first batch of war criminals and is serving his sentence in Laohuqiao Prison."
Qiao Mucai waved his hand, walked to the window, looked at the ice and snow outside, and said: "Ishikawa is currently in Yanjin, and has been protected by the Party Communications Bureau. Recently, the Party Communications Bureau cited insufficient manpower as an excuse to communicate with the superiors.
, I hope it will be handed over to us, huh, these guys, they always hide when they can when there is no profit or water!"
Shen Zhifeng was stunned for a long time and felt very uncomfortable. He actually wanted to protect a Japanese. He was somewhat puzzled and said: "Stationmaster, I still don't quite understand. A war criminal with hands stained with Chinese blood and numerous crimes, we
Why should we protect this kind of person?"
Qiao Muchai said: "Ishikawa has been fighting in North China for many years and has always been known as the nemesis of the Communist army. Even Okamura relies heavily on him. The superiors hope to use his experience to help the Communist Party!"
Shen Zhifeng suddenly realized that he had heard some news about this. The government secretly hired many former senior Japanese generals to deal with the communist army.
I always thought it was an unreliable rumor, but I didn’t expect it to be true!
"If that's the case, Ishikawa Shigeyasu should go to the front line. Why did he appear in Yanjin?"
"The underground party in Nanjing got the news from somewhere and tracked it all the way to Yanjin. They are looking for Ishikawa Shigeyasu everywhere, so they can only hide him temporarily."
"It seems that this Ishikawa really has a lot of trouble."
"That's just one reason. On the other hand, because of Ishikawa, the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties, so they want revenge!"
Shen Zhifeng was silent for a moment and said: "If you ask me, it is not a pity for such a person to die!"
Qiao Mu glanced at him and said calmly: "Zhifeng, put justice aside for now. First, we have to complete the mission, do you understand?"
Qiao Mucai understood Shen Zhifeng's mood very well. In terms of national sentiment, he didn't like Ishikawa either.
Shen Zhifeng hesitated for a while and said with some embarrassment: "Webmaster, you also said that the Communist Party is looking for Ishikawa everywhere. This is a hot potato. If something happens, we will be the ones to take the blame."
"In three days at most, Ishikawa will leave Yanjin on a US warship. In addition, have you ever thought about it, the Communist Party wants to kill Ishikawa, can't you think of a way to use Ishikawa to lure the Communist Party out?"
Shen Zhifeng's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly. He pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, I accept this task! Where is Ishikawa now?"
“Wangguo Hotel!”
Shen Zhifeng frowned and said: "In that kind of place, the personnel are complex, and the Party Communications Bureau is not afraid of anything happening."
Qiao Mucai smiled and said: "Don't forget, the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is. The Communist Party is keeping an eye on the dock station. They didn't expect Ishikawa Assembly Hall to live in a hotel majestically."
Regarding Qiao Muchai's statement, Shen Zhifeng was noncommittal. After thinking for a while, he said: "Stationmaster, we are only here to protect Ishikawa. What Director Mao said?"
"Director Mao only said that we should pay attention to it. There are no hard and fast rules. Besides, we don't know the time and place of the meeting. Let's put it aside for now!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!" Shen Zhifeng stood up and walked out.
Qiao Mu thought for a while, then called Shen Zhifeng and said, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing. This Ishikawa is lustful by nature. If he makes a request in this regard, as long as it is not too outrageous, try to satisfy him."
"Understood!" Shen Zhifeng turned around and walked out.
As soon as the door closed, Qiao Mu immediately opened the drawer, eagerly took out the night pearl, looked left and right at the sun, and praised it repeatedly.
