Ning Zhongping solemnly reported to Chief Ma: "This time I went to the Neon Country consulate and found a piece of information among a pile of document fragments."
After that, he took out an envelope from his small bag. Inside were photos of some fragments. There were only a few words on it: "Army...Jinling Defense...Stone Mill..."
"This is what I spent several days digging out from the debris at the fire scene. I learned some inspection techniques at the police academy... I can be sure that these pieces of paper come from the same document. Except for the chief, I have learned some inspection techniques." I haven’t disclosed it to anyone else yet,” Ning Zhongping said quietly.
"Very good, Zhongping did a good job! It seems that this is a new situation. I will report to the top immediately. You can rest for a few days... and don't go back to Hangzhou for the time being. There will definitely be a new mission soon."
Taking this photo, Chief Ma immediately went to report to Chief Xu. Lao Xu did not dare to be rude and quickly sent a telegram to Chief Dai who was out of town.
Not long after, Director Dai immediately called back and asked the special operations team to fully investigate Yun Yun.
After receiving the order from Lao Xu, Ma Xiaoguang was a little hesitant, not because he was afraid of anything, but because he was wondering, where should this case be investigated?
Just as he was thinking about it, Ning Zhongping drove a car outside Honggong Temple and was waiting for him neatly in military uniform.
Looking at Ning Zhongping's military uniform, Ma Xiaoguang suddenly felt something in his heart. The Consulate in Hangzhou was under the control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the information he received came from the Army. These two groups of people never peed in the same pot. This time, the consulate either had control of it. The Army's movement is to take advantage, or it is simply to deliberately leak information to cause trouble. No matter what the purpose is, the Army Intelligence Department, which is clearly pointing at the Japanese, must have sent people, or has already sent people to infiltrate Jinling to spy on intelligence.
The army sent people here just for the most important strategic deployment or plan, and the top brass of the Military Commission should have already formulated a strategic plan - these are all conspiracy, and there are no secrets on the surface.
The tactical or technical content must be the responsibility of the Military Committee Staff Department. There is no doubt about this and the content should be highly confidential. It seems that this time I only need to keep an eye on the staff department, especially the relevant technical departments.
The target's position should not be very high. Although there are many problems in the government, the loyalty of most of the top generals is not a problem. This was fully verified in subsequent wars.
What I want to investigate are those staff officers who have low positions and military ranks but control secrets. These people are easy to be targeted by the other party's espionage personnel, and they are also easy to create a breakthrough, and they are very inconspicuous.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoguang had an idea in his mind.
Returning to Chicken Goose Lane, Ma Xiaoguang immediately arranged the work. Wu Qiuyi was still responsible for intelligence collection and intelligence investigation. She was an expert in this area. The focus was on investigating personnel in operational and confidential staff positions of the Military Commission, starting from middle school, and screening them one by one. Check resume.
Monitoring and surveillance were handed over to Fatty, Xiao Lu and Ning Zhongping, who were responsible for peripheral monitoring of suspicious persons entering and leaving the Military Commission's staff headquarters.
Lao Li and Lao Chen brought the first team of brothers as support. There was no need for someone to do all the work, such as tracking, guarding, and eavesdropping.
Lao Tu led the second team to conduct a peripheral investigation. Based on the screening results of Wu Qiuyi and others, they investigated the social conditions of the relevant personnel and verified them. When encountering doubts, they followed them until the suspicious persons were found.
As for Commander Ma himself, he cannot be idle. Now he is a Major of Quanxu of the National Revolutionary Army, and his rank is Lieutenant Colonel of the Special Operations Group. He is qualified to work with Director Dai and Lao Xu, and sneak into the Central Military Commission Staff Department.
Among other colleagues, only Wu Qiuyi is suitable. The problem is that Wu Qiuyi is still a captain and a woman, so it is obviously inappropriate to go there.
Now he is the only one to take on this important task. The Military Commission is not a tiger's den, and there is no danger to his life. However, the place is full of senior officials and it is a place where rules are followed everywhere. It is very different from the Secret Service. Ma Xiaoguang is still a little uneasy.
On this day, Ma Xiaoguang came to the Military Commission Staff Department with straight military uniforms and neat military appearance. There were many young staff officers of similar age and similar military ranks to him. Most of these young people came from Huangpu or even foreign military academies and had good military training. Because of his quality and background, he was able to work in such an extraordinary department at a young age.
Ma Xiaoguang tried his best to ask Director Dai to investigate. According to the direction of their investigation, he was transferred to the Second Operations Office of the General Staff in the name of the staff officer of the 87th Division. This department was mainly responsible for the preparation of the national army's defense map. Indeed, It is a department that deserves great attention.
According to Ma Xiaoguang's logic - as long as a cat is a cat, he must eat fish. If he doesn't eat it, it's because the fish tastes bad. His mission is to make the fish taste better.
"Hello, seniors, I am Ma Si Ke, combat staff officer of the 87th Division. Please take care of me..."
"..."
The entire department was solemn and everyone was busy with their own business. No one raised their eyes to take a look at the new major staff officer. This made Ma Xiaoguang, whose pseudonym was Ma Sike, a little embarrassed.
But who is our boss Ma? There is a saying that if you are not embarrassed, it is other people who will embarrass you.
He has no intention of working seriously in a serious place like the Military Commission. He has been fishing there since he started working. Moreover, he seems not to be grateful at all to the 87th Division for placing him in such an important department. Instead, he is full of complaints. , making colleagues in the office look askance.
"Xiao Ma, you can't do this. This is the Military Commission..." Xiong Zizhuang, the major staff officer in the same office, advised.
"Hey, I came to this staff office just to hang out. I'm different from you. The 87th Division sent me here because it was difficult to arrange. On the surface, it looks good, but in fact, it just makes me self-aware. Get out of here... ..." Ma Xiaoguang kept complaining to Xiong Zizhuang.
After hearing Ma Xiaoguang's complaint, Xiong Zizhuang had no choice but to shake his head and continue working at his desk.
Seeing that no one was talking nonsense to him, Ma Xiaoguang could only move the bricks honestly and continue his work - the homework on the picture.
The homework in this picture is one of the required courses for military staff in this era without computers. It is one of the necessary skills for military technicians in future generations with advanced technology. Since the development of modern military science, the military has become more and more More requires careful planning, layout and deduction. The work on this map is one of the important means to reflect the military situation and reflect the development and trends of the battlefield. Sometimes carelessness in one line may determine the success or failure of a battle.
Although Ma Xiaoguang talked a lot, he did not delay his work, and he did a good job on the pictures. This was one of the reasons why he dared to come to the Second Operations Room of the General Staff and was not kicked away because of his loud mouth.
When he was in Huangpu, one of the best courses he learned was the Tushang homework, and he got an A. Later, the special training of Smiling Tiger also gave him targeted training. Unlike other units, the agents of the Secret Service are also soldiers. These It is an essential military skill.
"It's so boring..." After Ma Xiaoguang finished the day's work, he started to think about it again.
"Xiao Ma, please stop complaining, otherwise you won't be able to do this job..." Duan Chengyu, a staff officer in the same department, advised.
"That's right, Xiao Ma, just go out and have a smoke. I'll take you to a good place after get off work." Xiong Zizhuang whispered to Ma Xiaoguang in a mysterious voice.
As a typical example of decadence and a master of fishing, Boss Ma was naturally very interested when he heard that there was a program after get off work to play the role of the decadent consultant Ma Sike. .
After finally getting off work, Xiong Zizhuang and I changed into casual clothes, called a rickshaw and went to the Capital Hotel on Zhongshan North Road.
This is also one of the most luxurious hotels in Jinling. It was completed in 1933. The main building of the hotel has 4 floors. The building is in a modern Western style. According to the function and terrain characteristics, the plane design is an asymmetrical "7-shape" with an oval square in front. , with a flower bed in it, was a modern leisure place in Jinling at that time.
"Brother Xiong, is such a good hotel expensive?" Ma Xiaoguang asked Xiong Zizhuang anxiously.
"Brother Xiaoma, if you worry too much, you won't spend money." Xiong Zizhuang said with some satisfaction.
While the two were talking, the waiter led them to the private room of the Chinese restaurant. They saw a man in a suit and leather shoes sitting in the private room, with a big face and small eyes. The suit was tight on him. The land seems to be borrowed.
In addition to this person, there is another man in a Chinese tunic suit with a smooth face, and two socialites with heavy makeup sitting on the left and right of the big face.
Seeing Xiong Zizhuang come in, everyone in the box stood up, and the big pie face hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Ah, Mr. Xiong is here, and the plum blossoms are shining brightly. Who is this?" Big Pie Face was startled when he saw Ma Xiaoguang behind Xiong Zizhuang, and asked quickly.
"This is my colleague from the staff department, Ma Si Ke, Xiao Ma." Xiong Zizhuang introduced diligently.
"Xiao Ma, this is Park Zhongmin, manager Park of Damao Mao Company." Xiong Zizhuang turned to introduce Ma Xiaoguang, with a rather proud look on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Pu." Ma Xiaoguang greeted with a nod of his head, neither humble nor arrogant.
"All of you are friends here, please take a seat." Park Zhongmin quickly changed his tone of enthusiasm.
This turned out to be a stick. Looking at Xiong Zizhuang's virtue, he actually thought it was some great god descending to earth.
Of course, he didn't agree with it in his heart, and he still had to make superficial remarks. Ma Xiaoguang could only wipe his face and put it away, and exchange cups with a bunch of ghosts and ghosts, talking nonsense.
The drink was so boring that Ma Xiaoguang could only use the skill he would use later in the Lu family to talk nonsense when he was working as a financial migrant worker. He let his mouth run freely and stopped wherever he said - all the words were lying to the left and right. .
He kept drinking one cup after another for who knows how long. Ma Xiaoguang's drinking capacity was tested by Brother Da Mao, and he was just tipsy.
However, Xiong Zizhuang was almost drunk, and with hazy eyes, he actually called Ma Xiaoguang three names - none of them were correct!
Later, Xiong Zizhuang hugged the courtesan with his eyes dazed, and seemed to be too happy to think about it. He had long since washed away the plastic brotherhood in the bathroom...
"It's getting late. It seems that Brother Xiong hasn't had enough fun yet. I'll ask Manager Park to take care of me and I'll take my leave first." Ma Xiaoguang said goodbye quickly when he saw that this group of people was not finished.
Everyone at the table also spoke to Ma Xiaoguang perfunctorily and did not try to persuade him to stay. Ma Xiaoguang was allowed to leave the Capital Hotel on his own.
After leaving the hotel, I hailed a rickshaw and sat in the car, enjoying the cool evening breeze of early spring. I felt quite sober.
The driver pulled the car and walked for about ten minutes, but suddenly accelerated the pace and turned into a secluded alley.
I saw a few big men standing there sadly in the alley, holding various weapons in their hands, with a cold light shining in the night.
"What do you mean? Robbery?" Ma Xiaoguang asked while sitting on the rickshaw. The car had stopped, but the driver disappeared without knowing it.
"Boy, something happened to you. Today next year will be your death anniversary!" The leader said coldly.
