During the meeting, officials from all levels of the National Government, including bald heads, will be present. If the puppet Manchukuo traitors succeed, it will be a major event that will cause the world to collapse.
This matter is so big that not only Zuo Zhong, but even Dai Chunfeng can make the decision. Real evidence must be found before Zuo Zhong can report it to his superiors.
He thought for a while: "The first thing to do now is to check and control the meeting site in case the other party sets up dangerous goods. Old Song, you will be responsible for this."
Song Minghao stood up: "Yes."
He understood what Zuo Zhong meant. He was the chief of the military intelligence section, and many of his people were from the military. These people were more experienced in handling dangerous goods.
Gu Qi made a suggestion from the side: "Section Chief, in addition to the security of the conference site, background screening checks should also be conducted on the services and staff at the conference site.
Should this work be left to Chunyang and the others? This is their specialty. If they can find clues from the information, this case will be much easier to handle. "
Zuo Zhong hesitated. He did not want Wu Chunyang's political intelligence unit to get involved in the case, at least their shadow could not appear in the internal investigation.
Otherwise, the direction of the case will easily go astray, from a case of sabotage by puppet Manchukuo spies to an internal strife, which will make the Japanese laugh out of their sleep.
So in the end he shook his head: "Let your training unit complete this work. Real gold has to be refined by fire, and the screening of personnel information is left to the newcomers.
Defining this matter within the scope of military intelligence is a good thing for all of us. The business scope of the Political Intelligence Unit is sensitive and must not be tampered with. "
All the smart people present understood the profound meaning of these words immediately. Gu Qi nodded. If he was only doing paperwork, those newcomers would indeed be able to help.
After all, for new recruits, sending them to track and monitor would be sending them to death. Reviewing files and information is not life-threatening, just treat them as business training.
Seeing that everyone understood, Zuo Zhong continued to ask: "In addition to the venue and staff just mentioned, what else do you think we can start from?"
Wu Chunyang thought for a while and raised his hand and said: "Section Chief, in addition to the staff at the venue, reporters, officials' entourage, and guards must also be included in the screening scope."
Everyone nodded. Not only would there be senior officials at the meeting, but their drivers and secretaries might be Manchukuo spies, so be careful.
But Zuo Zhong was not satisfied after hearing this, and directly nodded: "Shen Dongxin, please tell me where you would choose to start if you were a puppet spy."
Shen Dongxin was stunned and said hesitantly: "I will poison the drinking water, food, and fruits at the venue, or think of a way at the banquet at the end of the meeting.
It is really impossible to find a truck and load it with dangerous goods. As long as the route is well planned and the information is accurate, you can drive directly to the venue. "
Hiss, fortunately this guy is not a traitor to Manchuria.
The eyes of others looked at him a little kindly. Only those with real abilities can gain a foothold in the Intelligence Department, otherwise even the brother of the section chief would be useless.
"Shen Dongxin is right. If Manchukuo spies want to sabotage the meeting, they can only use three methods: explosion, poisoning, and assassination on the spot. That will be easy to handle."
Zuo Zhong smiled: "Regarding these three points, Lao Song will be responsible for the internal work, including venue inspection; Chunyang, you and your people will complete the external work.
Lao Gu, you should pay attention to the information of all relevant personnel. Forty free laborers should not be used in vain. The review process must be stricter.
In short, I have to dig three feet down for the building, and check for three generations for the people. The time when the other party arrived in Jinling should be after the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo. This should be noted. "
"yes!"
After receiving the specific orders, everyone filed out of the conference room. This time the work was different from the past. The number of people who needed to be investigated was very large.
There were thousands of staff and their families at the conference site alone. Such a large workload had to be completed against the clock.
After the meeting, Zuo Zhong once again came to the safe spot where Tuo Zhi and Xiao Qingmin lived. These two people should know a lot of information about the Puppet Manchukuo.
The Kwantung Army and the Aoki Mansion have been sparing no effort to win over traitors, with the puppet Manchukuo being the focus of their work. They must have come into contact with relevant personnel.
Sure enough, when he asked about the information related to the Puppet Manchukuo, Tuozhi and Xiao Qingmin relaxed. It was obvious that answering this question was not difficult for them.
Tuozhi was quite a gentleman and looked at Xiao Qingmin: "Ms. Xiao, please tell me first. The Qingmu Mansion cooperates more with the puppet Manchukuo forces in North China and doesn't know much about the situation in Northeast China."
"OK."
Xiao Qingmin nodded and introduced Zuo Zhong: "Mr. Zuo, first of all, the intelligence force of the Puppet Manchukuo is directly organized, trained and managed by the Kwantung Army.
After the Liutiao Lake Incident, in order to strengthen management, the Puppet Manchukuo promulgated the official system of the Harbin Police Department in the 21st year of the Republic of China and established the Harbin Police Department.
Subsequently, police stations or police departments were established in various parts of Manchukuo. The police department consisted of police department, special service department, security department, garrison and other agencies. "
Zuo Zhong smiled when he heard this. Xiao Qingmin is a smart person, and he always pretends to be full. This is a good sign. Of course, the surveillance work on her cannot be stopped.
Compared to Tuozhi, Xiao Qingmin is too smart. Sometimes being too smart is not a good thing. You have to find a way to put a tight spell on her, otherwise you can't use it with confidence.
Over there, Xiao Qingmin continued: "The Police Department has a very important responsibility, which is to assist the Kwantung Army and intelligence agencies in arresting anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements.
This work is performed by the Secret Service Division, which is an independent intelligence agency responsible for the supervision and management of politics, ideological and speech, and other aspects.
Internally, we monitored and monitored internal officials at all levels and implemented internal screening to prevent anti-Japanese and anti-Manchu forces from penetrating into the puppet Manchukuo government to sabotage it.
Externally, it is to crack down on underground anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese organizations and groups in various places, eliminate hostile forces such as the Fruit Party, underground parties, and the Red Bear, and carry out counterespionage.
In addition, the Secret Service Section will also dispatch intelligence personnel to the customs. These personnel are managed by the Kwantung Army's secret service agencies in various places, and their identities are top secret. "
She told all the information she knew in one breath, which was similar to what Zuo Zhong knew. The nature of the work of the Secret Service Division was equivalent to one plus two divisions.
The power is very powerful and the methods are very cruel. Anyone suspected of being anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese by the Secret Service can be immediately arrested and executed even if there is no evidence.
However, the other party sent people to operate within the customs. This was the first time the Secret Service had grasped this situation. Zuo Zhong looked at Xiao Qingmin and motioned for her to continue the introduction.
But Xiao Qingmin smiled bitterly and said: "This is all I know. Although I heard that the Kwantung Army was training some people, I never saw them when I was in the Northeast.
Maybe it's because I left too early. In short, I really don't know anything about this group of people. I really can't help Mr. Zuo. Please forgive me. "
Zuo Zhong looked at Tuozhi again, and Tuozhi quickly shook his head. It was the first time he had heard of those things just now, and the Aoki Mansion had never dealt with the Intelligence Department.
After a few seconds of silence, Zuo Zhong said: "I'll tell you two bad news. The Kwantung Army has a Puppet Manchukuo intelligence team in Jinling City, and there will be big operations in the near future."
Xiao Qingmin's face changed slightly. Zuo Zhong understood her worries. As the other party thought, the Kwantung Army sent people to launch a big operation in Jinling at this time. It was very likely that she was involved in killing people and silencing them.
Tuozhi's face turned pale with fright. He didn't know how much Xiao Qingmin had told the Chinese, but he revealed too much and sold the Qingmu Mansion. Could the other party be here to kill him?
Zuo Zhong looked at the two people's reactions and laughed secretly. He did not say that the other party was a scapegoat on a suicide mission, nor did he say that they wanted to sabotage the meeting.
In addition to the fact that this information needed to be kept secret, he also wanted to scare these two guys. It was related to their vital interests, and they would desperately provide clues without any prompting.
There are lies among truths, and truth among lies. A clever lie is always half true and half false. It can sow discord between them and the Kwantung Army, a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone.
"cough."
Zuo Zhong looked solemn: "It seems that the two of you have realized the seriousness of the problem. Although I don't know the specific goals of their goals, I am a little worried about your safety if they leave each other in Jinling."
Xiao Qingmin bit her lip and seemed to be thinking carefully about Zuo Zhong's words. From the reality, she was indeed more dangerous than Tuozhi. Tuozhi turned out to be just the squad leader of the general affairs team, while she was the leader of the intelligence team.
It is not difficult to guess who the Kwantung Army cares more about.
After a while, she ordered Tuozhi: "You should write down the Puppet Manchukuo forces in North China, especially the important personnel. The Puppet Manchukuo intelligence team coming to Jinling will most likely obtain their identities through them."
Hearing this, Tuozhi opened his mouth. Everything must come first. He was clearly the first to surrender to the Chinese. Why should this woman give orders here?
He looked pitifully at Zuo Zhong. After all, he was captured by Zuo Zhong himself, so he could be regarded as Section Chief Zuo's confidant traitor. Xiao Qingmin was nothing.
Zuo Zhong raised his head when he saw him looking at him. The two men pinched each other to control him. Besides, Xiao Qingmin was the intelligence team leader and had strong working ability, so of course he had to use someone with stronger ability.
It's not Takuchi's turn to flatter him.
Seeing Zuo Zhong's lack of support, and looking at Xiao Qingmin who was smiling, Tuozhi had no choice but to find paper and pen and write down the important personnel of the puppet Manchukuo forces in his memory.
Xiao Qingmin saw that Tuozhi had relented and continued: "When a Puppet Manchukuo agent arrives in Jinling, he must have a cover job, which can not only hide his identity, but also cover part of the funds for his activities.
Based on my understanding of the Kwantung Army, they will never give each other too much money. Section Chief Zuo can think of ways to track down the businessmen, scholars and students who have come to Jinling recently.
Because the agents of the Puppet Manchukuo are all the children of Puppet Manchukuo officials. These people are fully educated and engaged in low-level manual labor. It is not easy to disguise and does not match the identity of the other party. "
This woman is dishonest.
Zuo Zhong glanced at her. He clearly didn't know what she was talking about before. Seeing that he didn't support Tuozhi, he also said that the Puppet Manchukuo agents were the children of Puppet Manchukuo officials. It was a standard practice to ignore the rabbit and the hawk.
He thought for a while, smiled and said nothing. Xiao Qingmin just said that the situation was very important, and at least it set a general direction for them to find the suspect.
