Yesterday, the action team of the Party Affairs Investigation Division arrested Lao Liao on Xiafei Road and shot someone to death in full public view.
Ferguson, the police chief of the French Concession Patrol Room, was very dissatisfied. He made stern representations to Liang Fangshu, the inspector general of the Shanghai Songhu Police Command.
Ferguson threatened to arrest the illegal militants in the French Concession, targeting the action team of the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
That night, Wu Shanyue, chief of the Action Unit of the Shanghai Party Affairs Investigation Division, was introduced by Qin Detai, chief inspector of the Central Patrol Office, and personally visited Lieutenant Marais, director of the Political Division of the French Concession, to mediate on the matter.
Wu Shanyue directly stated that what happened during the day was a misunderstanding.
This explanation naturally doesn't work.
However, the most important thing is that Wu Shanyue suddenly expressed that the Shanghai Party Affairs Office was willing to hand over the work of arresting red party members to the French Concession.
Not only that, in order to show his sincerity, Wu Shanyue also submitted to Malai the list and information of many red party members monitored by the Party Affairs Office, and asked the patrol to arrest them the next day.
This move by the Party Affairs Office 'won' the appreciation of the French Concession authorities.
The previous anger of the Lend-Lease Authority was not that the Red Party members were being killed. Their attitude towards the Red Party has always been relatively hostile:
The red party can be arrested, but it must be done by patrolmen. It is a matter of face and law enforcement power.
The French regard themselves as the most powerful country in Europe. They have always had a brutal and cruel attitude. This time the Party Affairs Office took the initiative to bow down, and the French must be very satisfied.
Of course, the large yellow croaker in the wooden box that Wu Shanyue gave to Lieutenant Marais also played a big role in persuading him.
…
In the list of targets for this operation provided by the Party Affairs Investigation Division to the French Lend-Lease authorities, there were three targets with accurate information.
One of them was impersonated by a relatively unfamiliar member of the Action Team of the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
This person would evacuate a few minutes before the patrol arrived, and he could barely escape without encountering the patrol.
The other person is Fang Muheng, a reporter from Shenbao whom the Party Affairs Investigation Division has been following for a long time. This person often publishes articles attacking the government and leaders.
This person is not a Red Party member but is close to the Red Party. He has a legitimate job and his family is well-known in Shanghai. Even if he is arrested by the police, he will be released quickly.
This time, I'm going to hunt rabbits in the grass. It's both a warning and a way to make use of it.
The only one who will actually be arrested and subjected to the 'punishment interrogation' of the patrol room is Zhuang Ze.
The 'torture' in the patrol room can also cover up Zhuang Ze's new injuries.
This required the secret cooperation of Qin Detai, the chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room, before and after the operation.
…
"The Red Party." Wu Shanyue chuckled and asked, "Do you think the Red Party will take the bait?"
"Yes." Wang Kangnian lit a cigarette for Wu Shanyue and said with a smile, "The news we plan to reveal is that Zhuang Ze has participated in the Anti-Japanese League and served on the anti-Japanese front line. Such talents are valued and urgently needed by the Red Party."
The patrol house arrested a red party, and the normal process is to try, convict, and serve a sentence in the rental house.
The national government will naturally ask the leasing authorities to extradite the suspects and hand them over to the government for trial.
Before the suspect is extradited to the national government, or to be precise, during the trial, it is the Red Party's best rescue time and plan to help the suspect escape the crime through litigation, trust relationships and other means.
The worst that can be done is to delay the extradition of the suspect to the national government by the French Concession authorities.
Two years ago, in the 'L case' that shocked Shanghai, the Red Party rescued the Red Party leader through operations in the French Concession before he was extradited to the National Court for trial.
The Party Affairs Investigation Office later noticed that the Red Party was paying more and more attention to rescuing its members in the concession. In the French Concession, there were also many top lawyers, including Song Liu, who were close to the Red Party. They always tried their best to help Red Party suspects in their lawsuits. Help him escape guilt.
The purpose of the arrest of Zhuang Ze by the patrol room itself was that the patrol room and the Party Affairs Investigation Office 'endorsed' Zhuang Ze, exposed his identity as a Red Party member, and lured the Red Party to rescue and 'smoothly' take him back to the Red Party organization.
…
"Hopefully." Wu Shanyue nodded. The Shanghai Red Party organization was uncovered last winter, and the Red Party's vitality was severely damaged. The remaining Red Party members were like rats in the ditch, hiding in various places. Suddenly, the Party Affairs Investigation Office also There is no good way to catch these fish that have slipped through the net.
"Commander, Qin Detai asked the patrol not to use guns. If he catches him alive, will it arouse the suspicion of the Red Party?" This is something Wang Kangnian has never understood.
According to Wang Kangnian, it is okay to use swords and guns, or even to be injured. As long as it is ensured that Zhuang Ze's life is not in danger, it will be more realistic.
"It's not Qin Detai's request, it's my request." Upon hearing this, Wu Shanyue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Qin Detai is a very slippery person. Do you still remember the Li Zhongyun case?"
Wang Kangnian frowned when he heard this and said, "In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, Li Zhongyun of the Red Party was captured during a patrol and was placed on trial. The government sought extradition several times but was unsuccessful. Six months later, Li Zhongyun was allowed to go out on bail, but he later abandoned the bail and absconded."
After a moment of pause, Wang Kangnian took a breath of cold air and said, "Commander, is there the head and tail of Qin Detai in this? He is..."
…
"Qin Detai can't be a red party. In the Li case, he was just greedy for money and pushing people along. There is someone else behind the bail scheme." Wu Shanyue shook his head lightly, glanced at Wang Kangnian to understand what he meant, and said in a deep voice He said, "There are so many such people. Qin Detai also has followers in Nanjing. We can't afford them, so it's better to use them for my use."
"Captain, what do you mean?" Wang Kangnian thought for a moment and asked, puzzled.
Wu Shanyue chuckled and said, "After the Li case, did the Party Affairs Investigation Office receive some secret reports about the Central Patrol Room?"
Wang Kangnian nodded. The investigative office's spy in the Central Patrol Room reported that the Central Patrol Room took great care of the Red Party members. This kind of care meant that the Patrol Room should arrest the Red Party members who should be arrested and torture them. However, during the detention period, His quality of life has improved a lot. At least he can eat eighty cents full, his vegetables have more oil and water, and they have enough salt. After the torture, he can receive medication in a timely manner.
According to the Party Affairs Investigation Office, this is almost equivalent to being close to the Red Party.
Wang Kangnian repeatedly proposed to take certain warning measures in private against the Central Patrol Office, but was repeatedly rejected by Wu Shanyue.
"Commander, did you instruct Qin Detai to do all this on purpose?" Wang Kangnian suddenly realized and said with admiration, "This is a great plan. I'm afraid that among the Red Party, Qin Detai has been classified as their so-called friend who sympathizes with the revolution."
"Now you understand."
"Kang Nian was so stupid that he didn't see through it for a moment, and even thought that something was wrong with Qin Detai."
"Kang Nian, there are some things where you need to use your brain more and don't just look at the surface. Why do I keep ignoring the anomaly that is related to someone Qin's secret report? If you think more about it, you will naturally be able to get a glimpse of it. ." Wu Shanyue chuckled proudly and said.
Wang Kangnian lowered his head, showing an expression of shame.
It's not that he doesn't understand. He has always had many guesses about Qin Detai's identity. When Wu Shanyue mentioned the "Li Zhongyun" case, Wang Kangnian suddenly understood, and everything he couldn't figure out became clear.
It's just that as a subordinate, he needs to make himself look less smart when the time is right.
