"explain!"
The whip was whipped out again fiercely.
Qian Xinmin was covered in blood.
He saw the man who tortured him walking to the stove and picking up a red-hot iron.
Then, he walked towards him step by step.
After a while, the branding iron will fall on his body, and then emit a pungent burning smell.
Qian Xinmin really felt scared.
The moment the soldering iron was about to touch his body, Qian Xinmin shouted:
"I recruit, I recruit, I am Qian Xinmin, director of the Nanjing District of the Military Command Bureau!"
The executioner stopped and glanced at Qian Xinmin with a complicated expression:
"Tell me everything you know. Especially what happened in the Nanjing poisoned wine case!"
Qian Xinmin closed his eyes in despair.
"explain!"
The roar rang in his ears.
Qian Xinmin knew that he was finished, completely finished.
Maybe there will be no chance to look back.
Amidst the repeated roars from the other party, he finally said with difficulty:
"The Nanjing poisoned alcohol case was planned by me and deputy district chief Shang Zhensheng..."
…
"Recruited?"
"They were all recruited. This is his confession." Zhang Liao handed over the confession: "He has confessed every member of the Nanjing District starting from the deputy district chief, including their current addresses and code names."
Meng Shaoyuan did not read the confession.
All recruited.
This is a good show planned and directed by Meng Shaoyuan.
Qian Xinmin was deliberately arrested and tortured to extract a confession.
He really hoped he was wrong.
But now, this list is placed in front of him.
There are many major leaders in the entire Nanjing District.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"I don't know." Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "He is a district chief after all..."
There was silence for a while: "Send him to the Taihu training base and hand him over to my teacher for secret custody. To the outside world, he has disappeared forever." (Note ①)
"yes."
Zhang Liao responded in a deep voice.
This chief was so audacious that he dared to kidnap a district chief and even let him disappear.
What else can he not dare to do?
there is none left.
To be fair, what Meng Shaoyuan did this time was indeed very despicable.
But he saved a tragedy.
His memory is not faulty.
On November 15, 1940, Qian Xinmin was secretly arrested on Shanghai No. 76. Later, he confessed to a list of more than 20 people in the Nanjing District of the Military Command Bureau.
All senior agents, including Nanjing District Deputy District Chief Shang Zhensheng, were arrested, Nanjing District was completely destroyed, and the military command suffered the heaviest losses in history!
After that, until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Nanjing District did not recover.
Before leaving, Deputy District Chief Shang Zhensheng composed the poem "Lang Tao Sha":
"The flames of war are all over China, Jin Ou is broken, and the casualties are chaotic. When will it stop? The prosperity of the past is now rubble, houses and ruins. Don't let your youth down, and your ambition will be rewarded. We will work together to stem this wild flow. It is up to me and my colleagues to clean up the rivers, mountains and motherland!"
Before Shang Zhensheng died, he still calmly warned the enemies and puppets that "the war of resistance will be won, and the traitors will perish."
The executioner forced him to kneel in the direction of East Japan, but Shang Zhensheng insisted on standing upright in the direction of the National Government of Chongqing in the west, chanting slogans repeatedly, and died a heroic death at the age of 39.
Meng Shaoyuan's seemingly despicable approach saved a catastrophe!
This is also the reason why Meng Shaoyuan's reputation has been mixed.
To achieve his goals, he never compromises on means, and sometimes he is even extremely dirty, but the means he uses can always achieve unexpected results.
Meng Shaoyuan has never cared about other people's opinions.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are used.
Without it!
Meng Shaoyuan sat there silently.
Qian Xinmin rebelled.
What about yourself?
If one day I fall into the hands of the Japanese or No. 76, will I be able to withstand such torture?
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't give himself an answer.
Some people usually act upright and upright, but when the critical moment comes, they lose their temper.
Some people may seem timid like mice at ordinary times, but they are the ones who stand up at critical moments.
I hope I am not Qian Xinmin.
The best way not to become Qian Xinmin is to always be on the winning side in the fight against Japan and No. 76!
There is no other way!
…
"Is the matter done?"
Wu Jingyi asked as soon as she saw Meng Shaoyuan coming back.
"done."
Wu Jingyi couldn't help but shook her head: "Why are you so brave? Chongqing will definitely know. When they investigated, they found that Qian Xinmin came to Shanghai and then disappeared. Do you think it will be connected with you?" How will you end it then?"
"There is no evidence, why should you blame me?"
Meng Shaoyuan muttered: "Besides, this hasn't come to light yet, just take it one step at a time."
Wu Jingyi was really speechless to this man: "It's up to you, by the way, Lao Qian refuses to leave."
"really? Why?"
"He said he was born in Shanghai and will die in Shanghai."
In this evacuation, some old, weak, sick and disabled people from the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau were also on the evacuation list.
Old money is one of them.
Old Qian, the famous Qian Chengzhong, is one of the few registered agents over fifty in the Military Command Bureau.
He has only one mission in Shanghai:
purchase!
Juntong is also a company, and its operation is not much different from other companies.
We still need food, drink, and toiletries, and we also need office supplies.
Qian Chengzhong is specifically responsible for this aspect.
Don't underestimate this profession, it has very high demands on people.
You must be careful when purchasing, and you must not let the enemy see the problem.
Especially some special and important supplies.
Such as radio accessories.
How to purchase and how to send it back safely are all what he has to consider.
In particular, just last year, something almost happened to the Military Command Bureau.
The headquarters wanted to buy a batch of tea, so Qian Chengzhong sent his apprentice there.
The purchase went relatively smoothly, but when the tea arrived, Qian Chengzhong checked the tea and found that there was nothing wrong with it, but he still felt uneasy.
He made a cup of tea, and after it cooled, he found a dog and fed it.
As a result, it didn’t take long for the dog to become poisoned.
Qian Chengzhong immediately called his apprentice and asked him in detail about the process of purchasing tea. Then he discovered that there was a problem and immediately asked for instructions and sent people to arrest the businessman who had been supplying tea to the headquarters.
After interrogation, it turned out that the tea boss had been bribed by the Japanese and mixed the tea with poisonous tea.
If it weren't for Qian Chengzhong's caution, something big would have happened at the headquarters.
From now on, when the headquarters makes purchases again, it will only be purchased once in one place and will never happen a second time to avoid such a situation from happening again.
However, Qian Chengzhong's health has been deteriorating day by day recently, and his family has already sent him to Chongqing because Meng Shaoyuan also decided to send him to Chongqing. He has completed his mission in Shanghai perfectly.
However, Meng Shaoyuan's good intentions were rejected by the other party.
"Forget it, I'm going to talk to Lao Qian. He's really not good enough to stay here anymore."
(Note ①: Regarding Qian Xinmin’s rebellion, most of the information said that he confessed voluntarily after being captured. Some information said that after he was captured, Agent No. 76 found the address book on him and followed the clues to arrest the other agents. Later, he pretended to surrender. After being arrested for the first time, he was executed by No. 76. I am not sure which statement is correct, so for the sake of caution, I will leave it to He Ruyi for the time being.)
