Zhang Xiaoping also noticed that since his senior brother met Mr. Huang, he had secretly provided him with money. He also noticed this. Last time he robbed the radio station of a Japanese trading company, his senior brother also sent him to Fuyuan Store. He naturally knew who it was given to in the end.
This kind of giving money and effort to others, and even taking risks to rob, is completely inconsistent with the senior brother's usual behavior. When have you ever seen your senior brother engage in loss-making business?
The meaning behind this kind of giving without asking for anything in return is worth pondering, and then the senior brother's attitude towards the red organization can be easily revealed.
Zhang Xiaoping doesn't care which side the senior brother will choose to stand on in the end. For him, all he needs to do is follow the senior brother's steps closely, and he doesn't bother to think about other things. He doesn't understand anyway, right?
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoping was silent, Old Uncle Wu complained: "You see, you kid, even you, Old Uncle Wu, want to hide this?"
Zhang Xiaoping said with a smile: "Old Uncle Wu, it's not that I want to hide it from you, and my senior brother has never told me this, but I think that no matter what senior brother chooses, everyone will follow him, so I won't waste my time. .”
Old Uncle Wu sighed and said: "Of course I trust the scholar's vision and judgment, but I am just worried that if this matter is known to others, it will have any impact on the scholar and our mercenary group."
Zhang Xiaoping comforted Old Uncle Wu and said: "What impact can it have? Isn't it just training a few peripheral intelligence agents from the urban management department? It's all for the fight against Japan. As long as they are not Japanese spies, we don't care who they are, as long as they don't fall into the hands of others. , It’s empty talk, if we fight to the death and deny it, what else can happen to us?”
Old Uncle Wu thought for a while and said: "That's right, alas! You, Old Uncle Wu, are really old. As he gets older, he becomes afraid of this and that. When you were on the mountain with Huzi, you Old Uncle Wu has never been afraid of anyone."
Zhang Xiaoping said angrily: "You are not yet fifty, you are old, you still have a lot of good life to live in the future."
Old Uncle Wu said with a smile: "You still know how to talk, but we two have agreed that when these people leave, we will pretend that we have never seen these people, and we have no such thing as training. No one can tell."
Zhang Xiaoping simply agreed: "Hey! I will listen to you."
At this time, Old Uncle Wu also somewhat understood what Zhou Wen meant by asking him and Zhang Xiaoping to greet these people. Zhang Xiaoping was simple-minded and would not think too much about things arranged by his senior brother, while he knew the stakes and had seniority and qualifications. No one would feel uncomfortable here and dare to ask themselves.
Moreover, the entire mercenary group has now gone to Yangqu Military Camp. Those who stayed here are some veterans of the 19th Route Army brought from Nanjing. They first arrived and they are not very familiar with the situation of the mercenary group, let alone Don't tell me the details of these people who come for training. After these people leave, as long as he and Zhang Xiaoping don't talk about it, no traces or flaws will be left.
…
While Zhang Xiaoping was training Peng Feng and the others, Zhou Wen handed over a lot of things about Yang Qu to Zhao Changshu and Meng Yuting, and returned to Taiyuan.
What made Zhou Wen return to Taiyuan in a hurry at the critical moment when the two armies had just established a joint command and were about to start training?
It turned out that Zhou Wen originally thought that he could safely leave the hunting and investigation of Japanese spies to the Urban Management Department, but now something went wrong. It was the commander himself who sent a telegram ordering Zhou Wen to rush back to Taiyuan to take charge of the work.
Late at night, the conference room of the Xiaobeimen Street military camp was brightly lit. Zhou Wen, who had arrived overnight, was listening to the reports from Xu Shuli and Jiang Han.
"After a week of inspections and arrests, the prisons of the police station are now overcrowded. Even our military camp has now vacated many barracks as temporary prisons to hold many suspects. However, the progress of the screening work is too slow. Several foreign companies They all protested, and if the commander-in-chief was under great pressure, he asked us when the situation would be over."
After Xu Zhuli finished speaking, he rubbed his eyebrows with his hands. His face looked tired, and it seemed that he hadn't had much rest recently.
Zhou Wen also found it a bit tricky after hearing this. You must know that although the Urban Management Section has been training for a year and has done a lot of investigation and screening work, it was only after they started taking action that they discovered that the interrogation and screening of these suspects was not as easy as originally imagined, and they did not expect to arrest them in one go. Then the suspect comes in.
Fortunately, for those Japanese trading companies whose locations have been determined by Zhou Yongbin's radio listening equipment, they have all the witnesses and physical evidence, and they can basically confirm their identity as Japanese spies. However, according to Zhou Wen's original suggestion, all northerners who have come to Taiyuan to live and do business in recent years must be investigated, especially those who are young, strong and have no family, or young couples without children, are being reviewed and screened. List.
Jiang Han added: "We are still lacking in experience. Most of our brothers are students and cannot conduct preliminary screening in person. As long as they have suspicions, they will all be brought back to custody. If they are not careful, they will be taken away. The commotion became louder and more people were arrested."
Zhou Wen thought that he also had a responsibility. The original strategy of "preferring to catch mistakes rather than let them go" was his own, but now it seems that it is still a bit too dogmatic. But there is no other way. Even the people in the urban management department, even Jiang Han, who has the strongest professional ability, actually don't have much experience. These can only be strengthened through continuous work, let alone a half-hearted son like Xu Zhuli. .
To screen and examine spies, professional knowledge is of course required, but the interrogator's life experience and experience are also indispensable. These agents of the Urban Management Section are just too young. They absorb professional knowledge quickly, but experience and experience cannot be rushed.
Zhou Wen thought about it. Even if he was a man of two generations, he still lacked experience in this area, otherwise he would not have made such a big fuss.
You know, if a city conducts large-scale searches without legal restrictions for a long time, it will not only cause panic among people, but also cause considerable commercial losses, not to mention that there are so many foreign companies and institutions watching. Well, once they unite to protest, even the commander-in-chief Alexander.
Therefore, the top priority now is to end this operation as soon as possible and let Taiyuan City return to peace and tranquility as soon as possible.
"How many people are imprisoned now?"
"It's almost breaking through the thousands." Jiang Han replied sheepishly.
Zhou Wen was also dumbfounded. If Japan really had thousands of spies in Taiyuan, there would be no need to ask for any information, and they could directly attack the Office of Appeasement.
Zhou Wen estimated that in a remote city like Taiyuan, having a dozen or twenty Japanese spies would be enough to hold up the sky. If you really think of Japanese spies as cabbages, they will grow out of the ground on their own if you plant them. It takes a lot of resources to cultivate.
