In mid-August 1941, the Chongqing Military Command Bureau began to carry out secret arrests.
This arrest was personally directed by Dai Li.
On August 20, Yan Jianyu, director of the War Room of the Military Commission of the Chongqing National Government, was ordered to attend a top-secret military meeting.
But when he first arrived in the conference room, he didn't see anyone else. What he saw was Dai Li.
"Hello, Staff Officer Yan."
"Deputy Director Dai, hello."
"Commander Yan, you should know why I showed up here today, right?"
"I have no idea."
"Really?" Dai Li said calmly: "In general cases, I won't go out directly, unless this case is too big."
Yan Jianyu said nothing.
Dai Li said again: "The principal knows."
There is only one sentence:
The principal knew.
Yan Jianyu was stunned. Suddenly, he sighed: "Did the principal say something?"
"The principal said, you are a student of Huangpu. Have you forgotten the revolutionary spirit of Huangpu?"
"I forgot, I forgot."
Yan Jianyu murmured: "I have been waiting for this day to come, but when I see you, I actually feel relaxed."
"Come with me." Dai Li stood up: "You still have a chance to atone."
…
On the same day, Tan Ruishi, assistant to the Deputy Minister of Finance of the National Government, was investigated by the Audit Office due to an accounting issue.
Tan Ruishi is very calm.
He knew there was something wrong with this account, but many people had benefited.
His acceptance of the investigation was nothing more than a formality.
But when he arrived at the Audit Office, what he saw was a military reunification agent.
On August 21, the Ministry of Finance announced:
Tan Ruishi is under investigation for embezzling public funds.
His family hurriedly launched a rescue operation.
But they never imagined that a storm sweeping Chongqing was quietly unfolding!
Those moths that have been lurking for a long time are about to be dug out one by one!
…
August, Shanghai.
The weather is still muggy.
Meng Shaoyuan was upset and angry.
He rarely has such a state of mind.
Messy, very messy!
There was a telegram in front of him.
This was taken by Dai Li for him.
There are only three words on it:
"You're fine!"
You are fine!
Meng Shaoyuan could only smile bitterly.
Dai Li finally guessed that this was a good show directed by himself.
Fortunately, the telegram only contained "you are fine" and not "who else"!
The chairman probably knows about it too, right?
They are doing their best to protect themselves.
They also know what huge dangers they will face once they are directly involved.
Now that this matter has begun, there is no room for turning back.
I will pay close attention to Chongqing.
Since Yan Jianyu and Tan Ruishi were secretly arrested, they will soon confess everything they know.
Then, one after another, officials would "disappear."
I will take the list and compare them one by one.
As long as one moth is not caught, this case will never end!
Of course, that's not all the reason for his irritability.
Just before, Tian Qi sent him a piece of information:
The special agent "Ma Gucai" sent by Tianjin was suddenly arrested.
On the way home, the horse will eventually face the risk of being exposed.
Meng Shaoyuan was helpless.
Brother Ma refused to listen to his own words and retreat.
He wanted to use his own life in exchange for the safety of his wife and daughter.
This is his last thought!
"Brother Ma, live well and keep living!"
Meng Shaoyuan took out a cigarette, his hands trembling slightly.
He has seen too many people sacrifice in front of him, and he really can't bear another sacrifice.
"Shaoyuan."
Wu Jingyi walked in: "You can go take a look."
"What are you looking at?" Meng Shaoyuan was a little distracted.
What to see?
Wu Jingyi couldn't laugh or cry: "The secret lurking points you ordered to establish for emergency evacuation have now been set up. Thirty of them, according to you, are top secret."
"oh."
Only then did Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realize.
He put out the cigarette butt and stood up: "Let's go and take a look."
…
Yingzuo Zhenzhao sat there without saying a word.
Neither Hahara Koichi nor Nagashima Hiroshi knew what happened.
After a long time, Yingzuo Zhenzhao glanced at the newspaper placed in front of him: "Do you know the trial of the brother murder case at Huamei Pharmacy?"
"I understand." Koichi Hahara said, "But this is an internal matter among the Chinese people and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us."
"Yeah, it doesn't seem to matter."
Yingzuo Zhenzhao's voice was full of helplessness: "But the woman named Elizabeth Tonys named two people in court, Yan Jianyu and Tan Ruishi."
"I saw it too." Hahara Koichi still didn't quite understand: "These are two officials from the Chongqing government of China..."
At this point, he suddenly came to his senses: "What does the agency director mean, is that they are our people?"
"Yes, our people." Yingzuo Zhenzhao smiled bitterly: "They are spies who have been lurking within the China government arranged by the empire for a long time. However, this Elizabeth used the so-called Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Xuzhou to kill them. Exposed.”
Hahara Koichi was a little surprised.
He never knew that the empire had such high-level spies lurking in the Chinese government.
"It's not just them, there are many people." Yingzuo Zhenzhao said slowly: "You are all juniors. There are many secrets that you don't know. The empire's intelligence agency, our seniors, spent a long time and energy A lot of energy and financial resources were spent to build a complete intelligence network in China.
This intelligence network is entirely composed of Chinese people. For more than 20 years, they have been spread all over China's military, political, and commercial fields. This allows us to know everything about China. But now that Yan Jianyu and Tan Ruishi have surfaced, I am worried that more and more people will be exposed. "
Hanbara Koichi took a breath of air: "So, is it possible that the intelligence network that the empire has worked so hard to build will collapse?"
"Yes, total collapse!" Shadow Zhenzhao's voice was solemn: "The hard work of our predecessors will be destroyed in our hands! We will become the sinners of the empire! But how did their exposure happen? Who is this Elizabeth? ?
Is it a coincidence? Maybe, otherwise the enemy would directly hand this information to Chongqing, so why bother with it? But I think there must be another reason for this.
The whole process started with the brother murder case at Huamei Pharmacy. I investigated and found that Ma Gucai from Tianjin once visited Xu Jigao when he was in custody. Xu Jigao immediately changed his confession in court. "
"You mean, Ma Gucai is suspected?"
"Ma Gucai, the former head of Tianjin Station of the Military Command, formerly known as Ma Guilu." Yingzuo Zhenzhao said coldly: "I have detained him, Yu Yuan, and will start interrogating him immediately. We must pry out famous information from his mouth. !”
"Yes, Your Excellency, Agency Chief, I will do it immediately!"
