The train was at night, and there were still a few hours before leaving. Ma Xiaoguang personally developed and printed the photos. The photos included Tongyuan Yangxing in the Hartong Building on Nanjing Road, comprador An Bingwen and other people in the Yangxian, as well as the external topography and overview of the Yangxian warehouse area. , the most important thing is the photo taken in the warehouse area. This photo contains a lot of information, and it takes some time to digest it. Ma Xiaoguang intuitively feels that it is the biggest gain from this trip to the Shanghai stock market.
After developing the photos and sorting out the information, Ma Xiaoguang called Kevin, Zhou Xiangsheng and some new friends from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau one by one to say goodbye. He said that he had important matters to deal with in Jinling and would return to Shanghai as soon as possible...
After all, Boss Ma is a public figure now, so it would be rude to leave without saying goodbye.
While there were still a few hours left to get on the train, Fatty Lao Li also took care of his own affairs.
It was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and Wu Qiuyi had already rushed back from the foreign bank, holding four train tickets. Without any more hesitation, everyone went directly to the train station and boarded the 9 o'clock train to Jinling.
The train booked a sleeper berth. Otherwise, after staying up all night and having important matters the next day, there would be no way to work. Wu Qiuyi booked a first-class sleeper berth. Due to time constraints, he paid extra, but now Boss Ma is still interested in these small sums. I don’t care much anymore, it’s more about work.
In the box, the two of them sorted and analyzed the data overnight. When they finished, it was already 2 o'clock in the night, and there were still a few hours before arriving at Jinling. They were really tired, so they just sat like this and Ma Xiaoguang fell asleep without realizing it.
Ma Xiaoguang woke up by himself, with a windbreaker covering him.
At this time, it was already bright and it was already 7 o'clock in the morning, but Wu Qiuyi opposite seemed to have not slept all night. She looked a little more haggard than her usual radiant appearance, which made people feel pitiful.
But time was urgent and we couldn't care less about the beauty, so everyone got out of the car in a hurry. The car at the office was already waiting on the platform. When you got off the train, you didn't have to go out of the station. You just got on the car. The person driving was still Xiao Zhu, and there were exactly five people in the group with Ma Xiaoguang.
The group immediately arrived at Hong Gong Temple, where Director Dai worked.
When we arrived at Hong Gong Temple, we drove straight in. As soon as we got off the car, secretary Wang Puchen introduced Ma Xiaoguang into the director's office, while Xiao Zhu took the others to rest.
When he arrived at the door of the office, Ma Xiaoguang straightened his clothes. Feeling that there was no big problem with his appearance, he reported loudly: "Ma Xiaoguang, Special Operations Team of the Operations Section, reports——"
Only a loud sound could be heard from inside: "Come in."
Entering the office, Director Dai and Section Chief Xu were sitting on the sofa next to them. Ma Xiaoguang quickly stepped forward to salute.
Director Dai and Section Chief Xu received the coded phone report yesterday afternoon. It was of great importance, so they went to the office early in the morning to wait.
Seeing his subordinates come to report with fresh dust, Director Dai showed a rare smile of relief and praised Section Chief Xu: "Zhenye, you have trained such good subordinates. If the party and the country are all such dedicated and capable people, why not Worried about internal troubles and unrest, external aggression is difficult to resist..."
Section Chief Xu naturally said yes repeatedly.
Without too much politeness, Ma Xiaoguang directly presented the first-hand information about this trip to the Shanghai stock market to the two superior officials for reading. Director Dai carefully flipped through the pages, frowning for a while, then smiling...
After reading the intelligence and report presented by Ma Xiaoguang, the two superiors exchanged glances. Section Chief Xu coughed dryly and said: "Xiao Ma, I transferred you to Shanghai on a business trip this time. It was originally out of necessity. After the Lisheng Yangxing explosion, Some people with ulterior motives, especially those from the Party Affairs Investigation Division, are targeting our Secret Service, especially you, alas..."
Director Dai angrily said to Section Chief Xu: "Those are all villains, they are nothing to worry about. The committee has already given instructions. Don't be afraid. Just go ahead and work!"
Section Chief Xu quickly answered: "Yes, fortunately, Director Dai withstood the pressure. I also support your brother. We sent you to Shanghai because we got information that the Japanese were making moves, so we didn't think of you." Having obtained such important information so quickly, the department authorizes you to fully investigate the people in the other photos. If you want people, give them guns, and you must do your best to crack them down!"
Ma Xiaoguang immediately made a solemn statement: "The department will live up to its mission!"
After a while, Director Dai said warmly again: "Don't worry about the little villains. Chief Xu and I are your strong backers. Don't worry, go check it out. We'll take care of everything!"
Before leaving, the two officers once again warned: "Pay attention to confidentiality!"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang replied firmly and in a deep voice: "All intelligence collection and photo printing only went through the staff department and Wu Qiuyi, and there was no third person with fake hands."
The two officers nodded in praise.
It was already a quarter past nine when we came out of the director's office, and work had already started at Hong Gong Temple. Different from the strict and solemn days of the past, maybe it was because spring was passing by the summer solstice, everyone had kind smiles on their faces, especially Ma Xiaoguang, No matter the section chiefs, section chiefs or staff members in each department, they all felt the warmth of spring when they met Deputy Team Leader Ma. They greeted him cordially and inquired after him, which made Ma Xiaoguang feel for the first time that he was so popular.
Ma Xiaoguang greeted these greetings with a smile, but in his heart he knew his own family affairs. He knew in his heart that this was all the result of Lao Liu's thirty large yellow croakers.
Without being too polite to the enthusiastic colleagues in the department, he returned to Chicken Goose Lane and ordered Wu Qiuyi, who had stayed up all night, to rest immediately. Liu Dayou and Lu Zhixuan asked Fatty to familiarize themselves with the situation in Jinling City, and took Lao Li to rush non-stop. Towards Jinling City
The two drove to the secret detention center named "A Place" in Zhangfuyuan near Xinjiekou in the city. This detention center was a secret detention center under the cover of the Anhui Middle School staff dormitory. In addition, the so-called "B Place" was the place where In the secret detention center in Sheepskin Alley, close to the Military Commission, there is also the so-called "Bing Di", which is the secret detention center located on the Shangqing River outside Shuixi Gate.
The "Jia Di" detention center is not too far from Jige Lane, and it only takes about 20 minutes to drive there.
The dark and heavy door of the detention center closed behind you, making people feel dull, depressing, and a bit eerie.
After entering, I saw that the cells in this detention center were all numbered with the words "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and love". Each prisoner is assigned a number instead of a name. It is stipulated that prisoners are not allowed to be called by their names, and they are not called prisoners, but "cultivated persons."
Originally, new prisoners who came in for the first time were all accommodated in the new prisoners' cell. Multiple people lived in one room, sleeping on the same bunk, and eating, sleeping, and urinating indoors. But Fan Zhenbang is a special "cultivation person", so he is kept alone in No. 3 with the word "Ren".
Walking into the interrogation room, there was a smell of blood and the smell of corruption that had not seen the light of day for a long time. The mixture was a bit suffocating.
After getting used to the unique smell of the interrogation room for a while, he heard the sound of chains mopping the floor. The guard brought Fan Zhenbang in, buckled him on the interrogation chair, and then left.
"Fan Zhenbang, we meet again." Ma Xiaoguang asked coldly. There is no need to be nice to traitors.
"I've said everything I need to say." Fan Zhenbang also replied coldly.
"I said you are a traitor, and you are so arrogant..." Lao Li, who was recording on the side, couldn't hold back his anger and cursed.
He stretched out his hand and pressed it softly to comfort Lao Li. Ma Xiaoguang continued to say to Fan Zhenbang: "By the way, you should call Cultivator No. 26 first. Let's call you No. 26. You don't deserve it anyway." Name."
"On the 26th, you just said that you have said everything that needs to be said. Does that mean there is still something that should not be said, or that has not been said?" Ma Xiaoguang's voice was like iron.
Fan Zhenbang snorted and said no more.
Seeing his virtuous attitude of not being afraid of boiling water, Ma Xiaoguang took out the copied photo from the case file, walked over and put it in front of him, without saying a word, just looking at him quietly.
Seeing the photo in Ma Xiaoguang's hand, Fan Zhenbang's face instantly changed into several expressions, including surprise, fear, and defeat...
"You...where did you get this photo?" he asked involuntarily.
"The person in the middle gave it to me..." Ma Xiaoguang said leisurely.
"No! It's impossible, Mr. Inoue..." Fan Zhenbang had just finished speaking. At this moment, he heard a "click" and his jaw dropped again.
The pain made Fan Zhenbang break into a cold sweat. After a long while, he started to scream indistinctly.
"Want to bite your tongue and commit suicide? It's not that easy. I told you that you can't die yet. If you are still prepared to try your own body, I will count in the army hospital!" Ma Xiaoguang said fiercely.
"Mr. Inoue? Oh, by the way, you are all spies at Inoue Mansion, and this person is Inoue." Ma Xiaoguang did not need Fan Zhenbang to answer, he had already concluded.
"Where is the person next to him?" Ma Xiaoguang had to ask to the end.
"His name is Shen Shinan." Fan Zhenbang said vaguely.
"What does this Shen Shinan do?" Lao Li asked, patting the table.
"It was also from the Inoue Mansion. It was the 21st year of the Republic of China, that is, 1932, and Shanghai Tongyuan Yang Company held a training class. We all participated. Because of Mr. Inoue's invitation, we have this group photo, but other things about Shen Shinan I really don't know." Fan Zhenbang replied dejectedly.
"Continue to talk about the situation at the Inoue Mansion. Don't think about hiding any private goods. You know that when you get here, you will live a better life if you cooperate well. We can consider not pursuing your family..." Ma Xiaoguang's voice was very calm. A trace of emotion sounded like a magic sound to Fan Zhenbang.
"At the end of March 1st, the Black Dragon Society organized the "Great Japan Production Party" in Osaka, which later expanded to Manchuria and North China. Many commercial houses and factories joined this organization, including Dasheng Trading Company. The purpose of establishing this production party was In order to provide funds and supplies for the military, in 1932, under the instruction of the Japanese military, Mr. Inoue, Hizaki Inoue, established the "Inoue Mansion" in Shanghai, which was first trained from the spy school run by the Black Dragon Society. More than sixty spies started..." Fan Zhenbang said in a confused voice.
"Continue." Ma Xiaoguang urged.
"When I was in school on Qindao, I came into contact with the co-prosperity theory of the East Asia Promotion Association. They believed that the East must be integrated to fight the West, and the only one who can lead the East is Japan..." Fan Zhenbang still sounded unwilling.
"...I met Mr. Inoue when I was in school in Japan, and he was also a cadre of the East Asia Promotion Association..." Fan Zhenbang recalled.
When Fan Zhenbang recalled it almost, Ma Xiaoguang suddenly asked: "Who are Qingcao and Hongye? Or what are their code names?"
Fan Zhenbang glanced at Ma Xiaoguang a little blankly. Said: "I don't know, really, it may be the code name of the intelligence agent."
…
Because it involved too much content and took too long, the entire interview lasted until one o'clock at noon. Seeing that the time was almost up and Fan Zhenbang was not exhausted, Ma Xiaoguang also asked Lao Li to stop.
"Let Lao Liu and Xiao Lu come next," Ma Xiaoguang ordered.
"This Fan Zhenbang really deserves to die. Is he being so unfair to him..." Lao Li looked at the transcript in his hand, felt disgusted, and cursed loudly.
Ma Xiaoguang did not persuade Lao Li, but in fact he also wanted to curse!
He was in a heavy heart, without any joy of making a breakthrough in the case. Thinking of Fan Zhenbang's plausible theories about traitors, he felt as if there was a huge stone in his heart. He vaguely had a sense of why Japan has been able to deal with us for so many years, and why it came to war. At the end of the later period, when the situation was actually clear, there were still so many traitors, and many of them were the so-called elites. In addition to the huge gap in national power, the Japanese invasion theory was so terrible, it was simply a system. ization, theorization, and all-round endorsement of one’s aggression…
Ma Xiaoguang now understands why the Japanese military condoned and even supported the existence of civilian intelligence agencies from beginning to end during the war. Sometimes the two sides fought against each other because of their own selfish interests. Although they were not as notorious as the Special High School and the later four major agencies. Outside the country, non-governmental organizations under the guise of economic and trade, academic exchanges, and ideological exchanges are more deceptive, disguised, and poisonous, and they play an irreplaceable role in the Japanese aggression.
Their legacy has even spread to later generations, and there are still a large number of Japanese elements who cheer and cheer for the Japanese aggression and separatist actions... Therefore, these civilian intelligence organizations cannot be underestimated like the "four major agencies".
He hurried back to Jige Alley and immediately went to his desk to sort out the transcripts and other case files. Since he has been promoted to deputy team leader, Ma Xiaoguang has his own independent office.
A person is alone in the office, sorting out information, smoking cigarettes, drinking strong tea, and thinking about various fragments and clues like a movie in his mind.
The Chuncao Group led by Fan Zhenbang seems to have been cracked, and almost all the secrets he knows have been revealed.
The Japanese have a big plan, and the layout of Inoue Mansion should be more than just a spring grass group. At least that "Shen Shinan" should have something behind it, and Shen Shinan and Fan Zhenbang must be related. Fan Zhenbang should not be unwilling to explain, but it is very likely that Fan Zhenbang himself is Don't know about other conspiracies.
"Peach Work" Ma Xiaoguang didn't ask Fan Zhenbang. He didn't even know who "Red Leaf" and "Green Grass" were, so naturally he wouldn't know about "Peach Work", and Inoue Hiaki wouldn't tell all the secrets to a traitor.
The rubbing note did have some information, but it was very vague. The situation of the Chuncao Group itself had basically been found out, but what was the relationship behind it with the so-called "Peach Work"? In addition, what does "green grass" and "red leaves" have to do with the spring grass group?
Ma Xiaoguang felt vaguely that he had caught something.
I seem to have made some breakthroughs this time, but the situation seems even more confusing.
What's more important is that all the clues have been broken at this step. Where to start next? Where can I look for "red leaves" and "green grass" in the huge Jinling Mountains and the vast sea of people?
Before we knew it, it was sunset.
Seeing that the sun was turning to the west, the colleagues in Jige Alley were looking for their mothers and going back to their homes. It seemed that the subordinates who were out and Wu Qiuyi who was ordered to rest would not come again. Ma Xiaoguang strolled out of Jigo Alley alone.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the second hall of the police station, two people walked towards me. One of them was very familiar. It was Ma Xiaoguang's immediate boss, Zhang Chong, team leader Zhang Da.
Zhang Chong shouted to Ma Xiaoguang and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are energetic again..."
The two of them were surprised and pretended to have met by chance. They were so passionate that they were closer than real brothers.
Turning his head, Zhang Chong said to the subordinate: "Isn't your wife always complaining about you being away from home recently? It's okay today. Go back quickly..."
The two found a small shop nearby called "Deyuan Tavern". This place was actually the private property of the Secret Service. The Secret Service had many subordinate properties until later.
The conversation here can be kept confidential to a certain extent, but of course the key depends on what you say.
After sitting down, Ma Xiaoguang hurriedly served the food and poured the wine. After a busy period, Zhang Chong looked at Ma Xiaoguang with emotion and said, "Brother, I really treat you with admiration after three days apart!"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang smiled and said: "The team leader is trying to offend me. Where do you mean this?"
Zhang Chong said indifferently: "I'm serious, you see... you are so majestic. To tell the truth, brother, I'm not jealous of you, I admire you!"
After that, he gave Ma Xiaoguang a thumbs up.
Regardless of whether Zhang Chong was sincere or not, Ma Xiaoguang could only greet the smiling person with a smile.
As he spoke, Zhang Chong rolled his eyes and lowered his tone and asked: "Brother, do you know why the safe house has not been unlocked for so long? Why were you pushed to the fire pit in Shanghai as soon as you were promoted? That was someone... "
Ma Xiaoguang knew something from yesterday's conversation with Director Dai and Section Chief Xu, but he would not do anything like betraying his colleagues, especially his superiors. In that case, he would never want to hang out in Chicken Goose Lane again. He looked at it in surprise. Zhong Zhang rushes.
Zhang Chong looked around, took a sip of wine, and said in a low voice: "I heard that your situation is complicated, and it seems that you are alarmed..."
After saying that, he did not continue to say anything, but pointed to the sky mysteriously.
