"Raise the gun."
"aim."
In early summer, a river beach outside Jiangcheng was heavily guarded. Military police from six city defense headquarters aimed at four prisoners with their heads covered and kneeling on the ground with their hands behind their backs.
Some of the four people remained silent and waited quietly for death, some collapsed on the ground, and some screamed at the top of their lungs.
"I not only know the information about the Japanese, but also the information about the lower party in Jiangcheng. Those addresses and names are all true. I am willing to take the blame and make meritorious service."
It's a pity that no one cares about what he is talking about. People who are on the verge of death can say anything as long as they can survive.
Not to mention the information about the underground party, there are people who claim that they are the commissioner's biological son. The executioners have seen too many things like this and will not believe it at all.
"put!"
"Bang...bang..."
As the starter stood up, several gunshots were fired, and the four prisoners stumbled to the ground. The sound startled several waterfowl hiding by the water, and they quickly flew away against the water.
The people watching the excitement on the polder embankment in the distance immediately let out cheers when they saw this scene. As for who died, is it important? It is not important. Just watch it if there is excitement.
"Mom, let me shout again."
A bald man supervising the execution cursed, angrily took a few steps forward to the corpse, pulled out the gun from his waist and pulled the trigger repeatedly on the four prisoners who were dying.
Bang~ bang After several shots, blood splashed everywhere. When the blood mist was blown by the wind, it gave off a strange halo under the sunlight, which gave it a somewhat eerie beauty.
In the open space in the inner circle of the execution ground, Zuo Zhong, who was rarely wearing a military uniform, was wearing a major general uniform. He leaned against the engine compartment of the car and roared at his bald head.
"Youguang, why are you so crazy? Don't you need to spend money to buy ammunition? Hurry up and check the identity of the prisoner. If there is no problem, leave."
"okay!"
Gui Youguang answered loudly, unloaded the gun and put it back into the holster, then squatted down and took off the hood on the prisoner's head, carefully checking whether the four of them had been impersonated.
Watching his movements, Wu Chunyang, who accompanied Zuo Zhong, asked a question: "Deputy Director, what should I do with the body? Should I find a place to bury it? The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I'm afraid it will stink."
"Gnadi was sent to Wangjiadun Airport to prevent the Red Russians from thinking that we were holding back. Someone told Blagoveshchensky that I always keep my word and never lie."
Zuo Zhong looked forward and pointed at the other three corpses with an indifferent expression: "Dispose of the corpses of Wu Xiaoyi, Zhen Xiu, and Guo Jinyao, and hang them on the city gate to warn some people not to go the wrong way."
"Understood."
Wu Chunyang nodded slightly, glanced at him secretly, and cautiously asked again: "Guo Jinyao relented at the final stage of the interrogation and revealed some information related to the Jiangcheng organization of the underground party.
According to him, he originally planned to tell the truth when he retracted his confession, to add credibility to the false confession and completely confirm his identity as a subordinate. This information has not yet been ascertained.
Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to execute him like this? Now is the time when various departments are competing for power. If someone knows about it, they might use this as an excuse to attack you and Virgo. "
After listening to this, Zuo Zhong looked normal. He couldn't help but recall the secret agents arresting Guo Jinyao on the Zhenchang. At the end of the operation, the figure flashed past in the crowd, and he had some guesses in his mind.
The underground party is not simple. Guo Jinyao's information was provided by the Japanese intelligence organization. The other party probably discovered the abnormal situation of the Japanese and tracked the oil mill.
After seeing Guo Jinyao being arrested, he decisively evacuated the relevant personnel. Fortunately, otherwise he would be in trouble this time, and it would be a difficult problem for him to arrest his comrades or not.
On the surface, Zuo Zhong snorted coldly: "Didn't he check the addresses he said? They are all empty. The neighbors don't know the residents. God knows if those people are from the underworld."
Besides, more sensitive moments are worse than less. Now that the war is imminent, the Secret Service must focus on the military and provide frontline troops with the movements of the Japanese army. "
Speaking of this, Zuo Zhong waved his hand to strengthen his tone and decided not to create extraneous matters, let alone let the Secret Service continue to investigate. Anyway, Baldhead's order was ahead of him.
At this time, more than a month had passed since Bald Head held a meeting in Banshanlu. Although the other party requested that the case be concluded as soon as possible, some procedures were unavoidable.
Just like Wu Xiaoyi, he said that he was deceived by Zhen Xiu, so he had to check the confessions of the two and look for side evidence. Torture is a necessary method.
The Secret Service cannot kill a person easily before the last bit of value is squeezed out of the prisoner. Sometimes the clues are discovered through subsequent interrogations.
Back to Wu Xiaoyi, this scholar was so disgraceful that he even confessed how old he was when he peed his pants under severe punishment, emphasizing over and over again that he was an innocent deceiver.
However, it was not up to him to decide whether he was guilty or not. Shooting three people was not as spectacular as shooting four people, so President Wu became an accomplice of the Japanese spy.
Wu Chunyang thought for a while and found that this was indeed the case. What Guo Jinyao said could not be verified. He didn't know if he would gain anything if he continued to investigate, so it was better to end it here.
"By the way, Lao Wu went to Banshanlu, right?"
I don't know what he thought of, but Zuo Zhong suddenly asked Wu Chunyang about Wu Jingzhong's whereabouts, and he stretched leisurely while speaking.
After the long cold winter in Jiangcheng and the intrigues at work, he was bathing in the warm sunshine and felt as if his whole body had come alive.
Wu Chunyang bowed slightly, with a smile on his face: "Here we go, the eldest son just returned to China, and he called Old Wu before he settled in. It seems that the two of them have a good relationship.
But Deputy Director, it was you and Minister Song who pushed for the release of Red Russia. Why don't you go and take a look. It's a taboo to say that you are humble in your position. After all, the committee will get old. "
The two of them were born and died together, and they were brothers of life and death who could safely hand over their backs, so he spoke frankly about some things.
After the eldest son came back from Hong Kong, Captain Wei did not meet him for several days. The reason was naturally the incident where the eldest son "severed the relationship between father and son".
Seeing this situation, many officials did not dare to act rashly even if they had plans to burn out the situation. They all waited patiently and did not dare to take the lead.
But with Minister Song's patient persuasion, the eldest son and Captain Wei finally settled their differences. After all, they are father and son, so there is no overnight feud.
This incident caused a huge sensation. The members of the Guo Party who came to visit the eldest son were like crucian carp crossing the river. After all, they were placed in the former dynasty. This was a standard prince (separation).
Wu Chunyang didn't understand why other people went to show their favor to the eldest son, but the deputy director who facilitated the matter was so low-key and not anxious at all.
"Chunyang, come with me for a walk."
Facing Wu Chunyang's question, Zuo Zhong did not answer directly, but softly called him to the river beach. Standing on the bank of the vast misty river, he said leisurely to his old subordinates.
"You know Ji Gang, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty favored this man very much. He first appointed him as a loyal and righteous guard for thousands of households. After he came to the throne, Ji Gang was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guards, in charge of the personal army and the imperial edict.
】
What did Ji Gang rely on to be in charge of Jinyiwei for 14 years, and to have all the power in the court? He relied on Chengzu's trust. Without Chengzu, this person would be nothing more than a loser.
His failure and death had a lot to do with the battle to seize the land. As a knife, the knife should not have other ideas before the previous owner completely let go of it. "
He leaned over and picked up a stone, and threw it into the distance with Zuo Zhong. When the water splashed, he patted the thoughtful Wu Chunyang on the shoulder with a very serious expression.
"Chunyang, you have to remember that I want the eldest son to return to the country only to repay the support of the commissioner, not to cling to the so-called prince (separate). This world still belongs to Mr. Wei.
If you go to see the other party now and think too much about it, it will be tantamount to asking for death. What's more important is that the eldest son has been in Red Russia for such a long time and has been more or less influenced by red ideas.
Coupled with the existence of the red Russian concubine (separated), if people like us rashly get closer, people will definitely think that it is an ulterior motive and something that is unflattering inside and out, so there is no need to do it.
Even if people don't think so, rushing to get results will only make people look down upon and treat them as a tool. To put it more harshly, it is just a dog that handles dirty work. So why bother.
It's just the right time for Old Wu to go. Do you think the eldest son really cares about the friendship between his classmates? He just saw the huge power of the Secret Service and wanted to use it for his own use. What should I say then?
And I heard that in 1934, this person met with the top management of Red Russia, not because of the other party's identity, but because of the other party's outstanding performance, which is called high ideological consciousness in the local parlance.
A hostage can actually be received by Red Russian No. 1 because of his good behavior. How can such a person be a simple person? Our eldest son has a profound moral character. There is no benefit in getting close. "
After nodding at Wu Chunyang, Zuo Zhong added: "In addition, don't send people to monitor the concubine Hong Ertai (separate), it is not our turn to take care of the housekeeping matters.
There is no credit for managing things well, and there is no credit for not managing things well. If there is an order, just ask Lao Wu to say hello to the other party, show off, and give him an explanation.
Everyone has a negative scale. For the eldest son, his wife who has accompanied him through difficult years is undoubtedly a negative scale. Anyone who dares to touch her will die. "
Wu Chunyang understood and stopped worrying about the matter. Just when he was about to ask about the next work arrangements, he heard a buzzing sound in the sky in the distance, and small black dots appeared on the horizon.
"It's a Japanese plane! Evacuate quickly!" someone shouted loudly.
The military police, spies, and civilians present were immediately frightened and dispersed. They skillfully looked for bunkers and shelters, and burrowed in or crouched under a big tree to avoid possible air attacks.
Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang, who were running wildly, dragged Zuo Zhong and jumped off the river bank. They came to a depression and lay down. The three of them raised their heads and watched dozens of planes with plaster flags on them roaring past.
