"Reason? What reason do you want?"
Ma Xiaoguang's expression changed, and he said to Fatty and Lao Li in a rogue manner.
"Well...we are secret agents, so we don't need any reason."
The fat man looked at Ma Xiaoguang's strange expression and came back to his senses.
"But this is the fifth war zone, not Jiangcheng, nor the old Jinling..."
Lao Li understood a little, but wanted to say worriedly.
This worry is justified. This is the fifth war zone, and Chief Li always sticks to his word. Even in the national government and the Military Commission, Chief Li and his family have the right to speak.
If someone accidentally causes trouble, some things may not be good.
What's more, there has always been a rift between the Guangxi clique and the government, so some things must be taken care of.
"Don't worry. I have my own reasons, sir, and nothing will happen. We mainly rely on technology."
Ma Xiaoguang showed a familiar smile and said playfully to Fatty and Lao Li.
Seeing Chief Ma's confident look, Lao Li did not continue to struggle. He exchanged a look with Fatty, both nodded and accepted the order, and went about their business...
Early the next morning.
With the list drawn up yesterday, Ma Xiaoguang and the others once again came to the Fifth War Zone Commander's Headquarters at Taiyamen, Wenting Street.
"Have you identified a suspect?"
Yang Dehua looked at the list Ma Xiaoguang circled and asked in surprise.
Ma Xiaoguang said to Yang Dehua firmly: "Well, these three people all rent houses outside and live alone. They are not far from Huanglou Street where the radio station was detected, and they can't walk for more than ten minutes..."
"Then... okay, I'll notify the special agent company and immediately control the three of them separately, and then interrogate them separately."
"There are exactly three people in your office. We will also send three people to assist, and we will conduct a surprise interrogation in pairs."
Yang Dehua pondered for a moment and decisively gave the next action plan.
Naturally, Ma Xiaoguang readily agreed to Staff Yang's arrangement.
Perhaps because he was worried about the Military Intelligence Department, or perhaps for other reasons, Yang Dehua just sent two more people, and he actually went into battle in person for the other spot.
Although somewhat unexpected, Ma Xiaoguang happily began to interrogate Xian Yuping, the highest-ranking of the three suspects, with his partner Yang Dehua.
The two came to the small courtyard where Xian Yuping was being held.
A rather middle-aged orderly had just finished cleaning up. When he saw the two of them, he quickly stood at attention and saluted.
"Is everything done?"
Yang Dehua looked at the yard and asked the orderly.
"Sir, the cleaning has just been completed."
The orderly replied solemnly.
Hearing this, Yang Dehua nodded, waved his hand to signal the orderlies to leave, called the guards, and took Xian Yuping to the wing that was temporarily used as an interrogation room.
"Name, position..."
Ma Xiaoguang presided over the interrogation and began the questioning in a routine manner.
Xian Yuping replied calmly: "Xian Yuping, Lieutenant Colonel of the National Army, Supervisor of the Supervision Office of the Fifth Theater Command..."
"Do you know why I'm asking you?"
Ma Xiaoguang did not continue to talk in circles and went straight to the topic.
"I don't know, but I know that your Military Intelligence Department is just a bunch of people who are just chasing rumors and not doing anything serious..."
Xian Yuping had a look of contempt on his face, curled his lips in disdain and said.
When Ma Xiaoguang heard this, his expression was startled and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Xian Yuping, don't be rude! Answer the questions well."
When Yang Dehua heard this, his face darkened, he banged the table and shouted loudly.
Perhaps due to Yang Dehua's majestic suppression, or perhaps for some other reason, Xian Yuping did not make any more extreme remarks in the following questions.
The entire questioning process was uneventful.
"Team Leader Ma, although Xian Yuping's answer is not watertight, based on the current evidence and confession, I'm afraid it won't be easy to crucify him..."
In the courtyard of the small courtyard, Yang Dehua shook his head and said to Ma Xiaoguang while looking through the transcript of the confession.
"Japanese spies are all very cunning. They have received special training and have the skills to deal with interrogations..."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as we continue to dig deeper, we will definitely gain something. I believe we will be able to find evidence before Chief Li comes back!"
Ma Xiaoguang waved his hand and said loudly and confidently.
Yang Dehua was not as confident as Ma Xiaoguang. Due to his status, he did not say much. He just sighed softly, sorted out the transcripts, and handed a copy to Ma Xiaoguang.
Return to the officers' hostel.
Lao Li and Fatty are also back.
Both of them had disappointed expressions on their faces.
"Sir, I'm afraid we were a little hasty this time..."
Lao Li handed over an "Old Sword" brand and spoke to Ma Xiaoguang carefully.
"How to say?"
Ma Xiaoguang asked as he took the cigarette.
"The captain I asked about was Kang, and the major Li asked about was the major Chang. The Fifth War Zone sent someone to assist, but they didn't hold anything back..."
"But the questions I asked here and there were just empty talk, without any valuable content."
The fat man grimaced and came over to introduce the interrogation.
"Not at all?"
Ma Xiaoguang continued to ask with some reluctance.
"The person named Kang has a sweetheart outside, and the person named Chang has some private business dealings with a company outside..."
"Although they are all a bit shady, there is nothing more extraordinary."
Lao Li added with some disappointment.
"The people from the Fifth War Zone are keeping an eye on him. Besides, we have an order from the summit in advance and we can't use torture. Even if there is something really wrong, these old gangsters can't extract a confession."
The fat man said with a rare expression of being helpless.
"It doesn't matter. Japanese spies are all very cunning. We must be patient."
Seeing the appearance of his two subordinates, Ma Xiaoguang quickly spoke out to comfort them.
"Time waits for no one. This neon army has already entered Xuzhou, and the war is about to break out. If we don't find this mole early, many things will be difficult to deal with."
Lao Li took a long drag on his cigarette and said worriedly.
The fat man shook his head and continued: "That's right, you said it's the same with Chief Li. He asked us to catch moles, but he went to Henan Province for a meeting. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"
"Oh - you can't talk nonsense about the commander behind his back."
When Ma Xiaoguang heard this, he quickly waved his hands and persuaded the fat man.
After persuading the two of them for a while, Ma Xiaoguang took out a pen and paper and started writing furiously at his desk.
By the time we were done, it was already dark.
"Are you dissatisfied with the government?"
"Is there any special reason for moving to live near Huanglou Street..."
"Ask the questions listed above tomorrow?"
The fat man asked with confusion on his face, holding the "tip bag" written by Chief Ma himself.
"Sir, does this count as eliciting a confession?"
Lao Li asked with a rare lack of confidence.
"Well, you can't say that. I just want to make things simpler."
Ma Xiaoguang's old face turned slightly red and he coughed dryly.
Fatty and Lao Li looked at each other and were about to start the admonition mode when they heard someone knocking on the door outside the room.
The knocking on the door was two short and one long, and the person who came was from Xuzhou Station.
When he opened the door, he saw it was Zhou Yongqi.
"Sir, we found something in Xian Yuping's house!"
Zhou Yongqi's report refreshed the three of them.
