Agents from the Ningbo Station of the Military Intelligence Service quickly blocked the gates of Tiantong Temple.
The presiding Zen Master Dabei was quickly brought to Ma Xiaoguang and Wu Chengzhang.
"Amitabha, why do all the donors come to visit us late at night?"
Zen Master Dabei proclaimed the Buddha's name and asked the two of them in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Master, please. The great monks from your temple went to the Qu family mansion today to perform rituals for the deceased President Qu... Mrs. Qu family disappeared after she left, so I came here to inquire."
Wu Chengzhang cupped his hands and explained his intention to the old monk in a friendly manner.
"Amitabha, our Buddhism is a pure place, without any..."
"Master, don't speak too early. We don't mean to offend the Buddha, but the matter is so important that we have to interrupt."
Ma Xiaoguang stepped forward and interrupted the old monk's words, putting on a sinister look on his face.
Although the Zen master was an outsider, he had profound cultivation and had already matured. Seeing that Ma Xiaoguang's arrival was not good, he did not say anything. He just explained aloud: "I and the monks are practicing behind closed doors. Ask about world affairs...
The great monk Guangxiu of the Heavenly King's Hall is responsible for getting to know foreign guests, hosting Dharma gatherings, and social contacts. The donor can ask him..."
After saying that, the old Zen master clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and said no more words.
After hearing what Zen Master Dabei said, the two officers understood in their hearts. With a wave of their hands, a group of spies rushed towards the Tianwang Hall and the Zen Temple behind.
An hour later, behind the Heavenly King's Palace.
A group of young monks in gray were kneeling with their heads drooped.
"Report, Guangxiu was not found, but banknotes, wigs, pistols, secret writing potions, and lay clothes were found in the meditation room..."
"There is also a large box containing magic weapons. There are two layers inside. Both layers are empty, but there is still a faint smell of powder... It may also be the smell of perfume."
Huang Cheng solemnly reported to Ma Xiaoguang and Wu Chengzhang.
When the two of them heard this, they both looked as expected.
The search and interrogation just now have basically clarified what happened.
This afternoon, a group of monks from Tiantong Temple, led by Monk Guangxiu from Tianwang Hall Zhidian, went to the Qu family mansion to perform rituals for the Qu family master as scheduled.
The young monks are all part of the atmosphere team and supporting actors, so the main role of the Buddhist ritual is naturally played by the great monk Guangxiu.
The great monk has extraordinary magical powers and the composer has many merits and deeds, so of course he has to perform hard.
After a lot of trouble, of course the mourning hall was filled with smoke and the sound of magic weapons...
At some unnoticed moment, Mrs. Qu must have quietly hid in the box, and then came out of the Qu family mansion without anyone noticing.
"Let's do this first. Leave a few brothers to guard here while we load our things into the car and take them back."
Ma Xiaoguang pondered for a moment and said to Wu Chengzhang.
Wu Chengzhang naturally agreed with everyone, and immediately ordered Huang Cheng to follow the order, and he and Ma Xiaoguang left Tiantong Temple.
"We have to work hard next."
On the way back to the city, Ma Xiaoguang said to Wu Chengzhang while driving.
"What do you mean, brother, use the military and police to conduct an all-out search?"
Wu Chengzhang came back to his senses and asked.
Ma Xiaoguang nodded and said: "Yes, this must be done now, to alert the enemy, and use this method to make the spies who have just escaped work hard and find their flaws."
Soon after returning to the city, the two of them did not go back to Baizhang Street first, but went directly to the police station on Jiangbei Middle Road.
Now, if we want to go all out to hunt down, the manpower of Ningbo Station is definitely not enough. Of course, we must mobilize all available forces.
That night, no one had any rest. All units of the military and police units took action upon hearing the news...
Early the next morning, many people seemed to be in low spirits.
Ma Xiaoguang and Wu Chengzhang were at the police station last night and just returned to Baizhang Street at dawn.
Wu Chengzhang's office.
"Our people are strictly checking the train stations and docks. There have been no flights at the airport for a long time. The national army also has checkpoints at all intersections within a radius of 20 kilometers. It should be impossible to escape."
"The only way left is to hike or take a trail, but it shouldn't be possible. After all, traveling through mountains and ridges is not suitable for the weak-minded Mrs. Qu..."
Wu Chengzhang analyzed various possibilities for Ma Xiaoguang one by one.
"Normally speaking, no. However, from the time the incident occurred to the time we arrived at Qu's house, the person had disappeared for almost two hours. It is impossible to escape from Ningbo. Hiding is enough."
Ma Xiaoguang sat on the sofa and said thoughtfully.
"That's why I asked all units to search quickly, just to scare out the Japanese spies?"
"Not entirely. Brother Wu, have you noticed that after this murder, the Japanese spies seemed to be one step ahead of us in everything, as if they were predicting the future..."
"Do you suspect something internal?"
When Wu Chengzhang heard what Ma Xiaoguang said, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart and asked quickly.
"No! I have read all the files at Ningbo Station before coming here, and I have also read the files of Qu's family. At present, except for the missing Mrs. Qu, there should be no internal spies. All this should be carefully planned by the spies. Planned!"
Ma Xiaoguang waved his hand and comforted Deputy Station Director Wu calmly.
This made Old Wu feel a little relieved.
"The devils have big plans! I'm afraid they don't just want to destroy it, but they want the entire city of Ningbo!"
"Ningbo is an important port on the southeastern coast of China and an important distribution center for industrial and agricultural products from all over eastern Zhejiang. Now, the Shanghai market has fallen, and Jinling and Hangzhou will soon be in danger..."
"But now there are still concessions in Shanghai, and the Shanghai-Ningbo line is still open to navigation. Ningbo has become a transshipment port for materials from mainland provinces, and it is also the main sea channel connecting overseas! Its strategic position cannot be underestimated!"
"How could the Japanese turn a blind eye to such an important city? Considering everything that has happened since I came to Ningbo, and the layout made by the Neon Intelligence Department, I think their purpose is to capture Ningbo as soon as possible!"
Ma Xiaoguang stated his judgment straightforwardly.
"Hmm! So I'll just retaliate in kind, causing the Japanese spies to get confused and confused. Everyone will make random moves, and the two sides will be even..."
Wu Chengzhang nodded and said in agreement.
"I am also pressed for time. It is an extraordinary period and I have to do this. Thanks to the united efforts of the Ningbo military and civilians, I dare to make this strange move."
"It is precisely because the Neon people have such a big appetite that I judge that their superiors must have given them the task of lurking on the spot and waiting for opportunities to destroy them. It is very likely that they are still in the city."
He never told lies in front of real people. It was rare for Commander Ma not to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and told the truth.
In fact, he still hid a little bit. The "Great Prophecy Technique" is the ultimate secret and cannot be revealed to others!
However, the miracle was soon witnessed.
While the two were talking, the phone on Wu Chengzhang's desk rang.
"What? A suspicious person was found at the east gate? He has been caught alive! Great!"
"Control the person and protect him, we will come right away!"
Wu Chengzhang said excitedly to the other end of the phone.
