Xinghuo was dead. Zhang Jijun immediately ordered the arrest of those who had come into contact with Xinghuo today. People from the intelligence department quickly attacked, making a lot of noise.
Ah'er was undoubtedly lucky, because after Zhang Jijun issued the arrest order, he went to report to Pu You that Xing Huo was dead. Pu You ordered Zhang Jijun to arrest and interrogate all those who had come into contact with Xing Huo. There was a gap in the meantime, so he could It's Ah Er time.
"What's going on? Why did you suddenly start arresting people?" A'er asked a colleague from the intelligence department.
"The military reunification elements are dead. Deputy Section Chief Zhang was furious and ordered us to arrest everyone who came into contact with the military reunification elements today." A colleague from the Intelligence Section said to Ah Er and hurried away.
When Ah Er heard this, he immediately felt something bad.
The military leader was dead, and he felt a big net shrinking rapidly.
If we arrest those who came into contact with the military reunification elements today, we may soon arrest all the people who came into contact with the military reunification elements yesterday or the day before yesterday.
A'er didn't hesitate and ran back to find the Eighth Route Rape Team members.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Eight-Road Anti-Corruption Team did not hesitate and immediately asked A'er to take the opportunity to evacuate while they went to pick up A'er's old father.
Ah Er was very cooperative and withdrew immediately.
When the Eighth Route Anti-Japanese team went to pick up A'er's old father, Zhang Jijun began to carry out Pu You's order and began to arrest everyone who had been in contact with Xinghuo, including family members.
Arrest officers from the Intelligence Division also flooded into Ah Er's home.
"Where's Ah Er?" The people from the Intelligence Department didn't see Ah Er at Ah Er's house, so they asked Ah Er's old father.
Ah Er's old father didn't say a word, and soon blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and he fell to the ground.
"This old guy has taken poison." Someone from the Intelligence Department came up to check and cursed.
"Forget it, forget about this old guy, hurry up and arrest the others." The intelligence department personnel hurriedly left A'er's home.
There are many people to arrest, and those who hear the news will definitely run away. A Er may have run away.
The people from the Intelligence Department left, and the Eight-Road Anti-Corruption Team came here. After a special reconnaissance, they did not find that the Intelligence Department had left any informants here, and then entered the house.
On the ground, Ah Er's old father had died.
The eight-route anti-rape team members had no intention of carrying away the body of Ah Er's old father. Now the streets were full of intelligence officers arresting officers. If they were found carrying the body, it would be a problem.
When A'er saw the Eighth Route Anti-Japanese team members returning empty-handed and without seeing his father, A'er felt bad, but he still asked, "Where is my father?"
"Sorry, when we rushed to your house, people from the Intelligence Department had already arrived at your house first, and your father had already taken poison and died." The Eighth Route Rape Team member said apologetically.
"Dad, I want to go back to find my dad, I want to go back to find my dad..." Upon hearing this, Ah Er was extremely excited and immediately struggled to go back.
The eight-way anti-rape team members knocked Ah Er unconscious with one fist and hurriedly disappeared with Ah Er on their backs.
…
Logistics Section of Station 23
"Why should you arrest me? Why should you people from the intelligence department arrest me?"
"You people in the Intelligence Department are very courageous. You caught us while Chief Zhong was away. Aren't you afraid that Chief Zhong will come back and settle the score with you?"
"The Intelligence Section and the Logistics Section are not in conflict with each other. You guys went too far this time!"
"Let me go!"
…
Many people from the Logistics Section were also arrested. Many of them did not know that a catastrophe was coming. They were still yelling when faced with the arrests of the Intelligence Section.
The people in the Intelligence Section didn't care about this. When the military reunification elements died, Deputy Section Chief Zhang was very angry and issued a death order. Even people from the Logistics Section could be found and arrested as long as they were on the list.
If anything goes wrong, Zhang Jijun will be responsible.
Therefore, the people from the Intelligence Department were so aggressive that they arrested everyone, leaving the Logistics Department in a state of confusion:
"What's going on today? Why did the people from the Intelligence Department suddenly come to my Logistics Department and act so recklessly?"
"Aren't the people in their intelligence department afraid that our Section Chief Zhong will come back and cause trouble for them?"
…
Wang Damao also pretended to participate in the discussion. Of course he would not tell these people that the people arrested by the Intelligence Section were all people who had been in contact with military reunification elements. He echoed: "It's too much. The people in this Intelligence Section are really too much." If so many of us are arrested at once, how can we carry out the work of our logistics department? What if we miss Section Chief Zhong’s mission!"
Wang Damao was very sober in his heart.
Wu Ze was indeed right, this was really Pu You's trap.
So many were taken away, and they were determined that no one would come back alive.
Wang Damao's words immediately aroused the recognition of other logistics personnel, and everyone complained:
"Yes, the Intelligence Department has arrested so many people from our Logistics Department all at once. How can we carry out our work?"
"Chief Zhong, you are much more ruthless than Chief Ma. If you miss Section Chief Zhong's mission, Section Chief Zhong might kill someone."
"We have to inform Section Chief Zhong immediately."
"Yes, yes, we need to notify Section Chief Zhong immediately."
…
People from the logistics department quickly tried to contact Wu Ze.
On Wu Ze's side, he was eating and drinking in a fortress village. The owner of the fortress village went to answer the phone and said solemnly: "Chief Zhong, the logistics department called and said that something big happened in the logistics department and asked you to take charge of it. justice."
When Wu Ze heard this, he immediately judged that Pu You must be closing the net.
On the surface, Wu Ze still pretended to be suspicious and asked the fortress owner: "What happened in the logistics department?"
"They said that a large number of people from the Intelligence Department came to the Logistics Department to arrest people, and that the work of the Logistics Department could not be completed normally." The owner of the fortress said cautiously.
Through the phone line, he could feel the bloody storm in the logistics department.
Not long after Section Chief Zhong took office, the Intelligence Section was doing things like this.
What the fortress villages below them are most worried about is that if the big god fights, it will affect the little people below them.
"What, the intelligence department came to my logistics department to arrest someone!" Upon hearing this, Wu Ze deliberately slammed the table and cursed: "This person from the intelligence department wants to arrest someone without asking my opinion first. The deputy section chief also wants to trouble me!"
After saying that, Wu Ze went to answer the phone angrily.
On the other side of the phone was Shi Daqing, the transportation captain of the logistics department.
This Shi Daqing is a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs. He usually does his duty and completes the tasks assigned to him honestly.
Such a person is a good candidate to be a transportation captain.
It was precisely because Shi Daqing was not very smart that he knew he could not do brain work, so he did not try his luck in the Intelligence Department. He became one of the lucky ones.
"Chief Zhong, people from the Intelligence Department suddenly broke into the Logistics Department and arrested eight people at once. They are..." Shi Daqing reported to Wu Zehui, reciting all the names of the people arrested, " Section Chief Zhong, the people in the Intelligence Section don’t take our Logistics Section seriously. He, Zhang Jijun, the Deputy Section Chief, is bullying our Logistics Section while you are away. Section Chief Zhong, you have to come back quickly to make the decision for us. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to complete our work.”
"Why did the Intelligence Department suddenly come to arrest people?" Wu Ze pretended to ask.
"Okay, it seems that their military commander is dead." Shi Daqing said, complaining again, "Chief Zhong, the people from the intelligence department killed the military commander. What does this have to do with us? It's not us. Killed. They came to our logistics department to arrest people. Could it be that the military reunification elements can be resurrected..."
"Listen to me over there and cooperate with the work of the Intelligence Section." Wu Ze interrupted.
"Chief Zhong, this..." Shi Daqing was quite surprised.
"This, this, this, Zhang Jijun wouldn't have dared to be so bold if it wasn't authorized by the stationmaster." Wu Zedao, "Share the work of the eight people captured, and let Wang Damao seize the time to recruit..."
Wu Ze arranged the top job after the lack of personnel.
Although eight people have been taken away from the Logistics Section, others can still take over, and the Logistics Section must continue to operate.
"Chief Zhong, as a result, everyone's workload has increased, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete..." Shi Daqing said.
"I don't listen to nonsense, I just want results." Wu Ze interrupted, "Before I come back, if anyone fails to do what I tell you, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, Wu Ze hung up the phone.
On Shi Daqing's side, as soon as his call ended, a group of people gathered around him.
Although everyone knew from Shi Daqing's expression that Section Chief Zhong's reaction was not what they expected, they still asked: "How? What did Section Chief Zhong say? Is he going to come back right away to administer justice?"
"Chief Zhong said that if Zhang Jijun hadn't been authorized by the stationmaster, he would not have dared to arrest people in such a big way," Shi Daqing said.
When everyone in the logistics department heard this, they all suddenly realized:
"Yes, yes, Section Chief Zhong is still awesome. He hit the nail on the head, that's for sure."
"Yes, if Zhang Jijun hadn't been authorized by the station chief to give him ten courages, he, a deputy section chief, wouldn't have dared to come to our logistics department to be so presumptuous."
"Why did the webmaster suddenly authorize Zhang Jijun to arrest people in such a big way?"
…
Wang Damao spoke: "Why did the webmaster suddenly authorize the intelligence department to arrest people? Let's not worry about this for now. They are just playing with their brains. How can we easily guess their thoughts?"
Then, Wang Damao looked at Shi Daqing: "What else did Section Chief Zhong say?"
"Section Chief Zhong said that eight people are missing. He asked you to hurry up and recruit people. The missing positions of these eight people should be filled by others..." Shi Daqing repeated Wu Ze's words.
Wang Damao immediately started to complain deliberately: "This Section Chief Zhong is too unkind. The eight people arrested are all very important people. Where can I find eight suitable people at the same time? "
Others also complained:
"My workload has been doubled, and I guess I have to work overtime every day."
"You still have a chance to complete the workload if you work overtime, but I can't finish it even if I work overtime."
"Lao Liu's job is not easy to do, why is it given to me? I am so unlucky."
…
"Everyone, you all know Section Chief Zhong's temper. He always only cares about the results and not the process." Shi Daqing added, "He asked me to tell you that before he comes back, if you do what he ordered, No, don’t blame him for being rude.”
Shi Daqing was still very happy in his heart.
Basically, people like Wang Damao have their workload increased.
Shi Daqing's workload was not increased.
After listening to Shi Daqing's addition, Wang Damao and others quickly dispersed to seize the time to do things, even if they had any complaints.
Complaining doesn't help anything.
Chief Zhong's ruthlessness is no joke.
Wu Ze quickly answered Zhang Jijun's call from the Intelligence Department.
Zhang Jijun sent people to the logistics section to arrest people. As the head of the logistics section, Wu Ze had to make a call to Zhang Jijun no matter what.
As soon as the call came through, Wu Ze pretended to say: "Deputy Section Chief Zhang, I know that the station chief has appointed you to investigate the military insiders lurking in station 23, but your move is too big. The department arrested eight people, and you made it difficult for me to do my job in the logistics department."
"Chief Zhong, I'm sorry, I'm also following the stationmaster's order." Zhang Jijun moved out of Puyou directly.
"Execute the stationmaster's order?" Wu Ze pretended to be suspicious, "Didn't the stationmaster go to Taiyuan? He..."
"Chief Zhong, if you don't believe it, you can call the station manager yourself to verify." Zhang Jijun said.
"Since it is the stationmaster's intention, I will not continue to ask." Wu Ze pretended, "Deputy Section Chief Zhang, you arrested eight people at once. The workload of the remaining people in my logistics department has increased. , please show your respect."
"Don't worry, Section Chief Zhong, I probably won't arrest anyone from your logistics department again." Zhang Jijun said, "Chief Zhong, if there is nothing else, I will be busy."
Dozens of people were arrested at once. The workload of this interrogation was not small, and Zhang Jijun had to be busy for a while.
"Okay, you're busy, you're busy." Wu Ze hung up the phone and confirmed again that Puyou had closed the network.
Wu Ze knew very well what Pu You closed the net, which meant that Xinghuo was gone.
Wu Ze was not in a good mood after failing to save him.
Back at the dinner table, Wu Ze didn't even eat much.
Seeing this, the owner of the fortress became even more cautious.
When sending Wu Ze away, the owner of the fortress specially increased the amount of bribes for Wu Ze.
…
Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Chief of General Staff, urgent information." A staff officer hurriedly handed urgent information to the Chief of General Staff.
When the Chief of General Staff heard that it was urgent information, not top-secret information, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he realized what the information might be.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, the chief of general staff opened the emergency information.
As he expected, the comrade codenamed Xinghuo left, and the intelligence agents below failed to make up the information.
The chief of general staff took off his hat, then wrote an order with a heavy heart and handed it to the staff officer.
If Starfire couldn't be brought back alive, his body would also have to be brought back.
"Lao Peng, Xinghuo is gone." The chief of general staff came over and said to the deputy commander.
Upon hearing this, the deputy commander also took off his hat and sighed: "Xinghuo's departure is a huge loss for us."
"I have ordered people to find a way to bring his body back." said the chief of general staff.
"Um."
After a moment of silence, the deputy commander asked: "Has the information on the arms been completed?"
"No." The chief of general staff shook his head.
"Although Brigadier Chen provided ideas to solve the problem, they may not be correct. You should also let Wu Ze try it." The deputy commander said.
"Um."
…
Wang Damao came to meet Wu Ze again on the pretext of business.
"Xinghuo is gone." This was Wang Damao's first sentence.
"I already know." Wu Ze nodded and looked at Wang Damao: "Have you figured out the location information of the arms?"
"It's a pity." Wang Damao shook his head and said, "When the headquarters sent people to obtain information, there was a slight glitch. Only part of the information was obtained. The most critical part, alas."
Wang Damao handed the information to Wu Ze: "As mentioned above, let's see if you can figure it out."
Wu Ze took the information and opened it. It read: The arms hiding place of the 6th Manchu Division of the National Army is Cangzuo...
Behind Cang Zuo, there is still an ellipsis. Obviously, something went wrong in the process of obtaining information, resulting in incomplete information on this key location.
"Do you think Cang Zuo is the name of someone on the Japs side? These arms and weapons have been taken away by the Japs?" Wang Damaohu asked Wu Ze.
"Probably not." Wu Ze shook his head, "If these weapons have fallen into the hands of the Japs, then there is absolutely no need for Xinghuo to spread this information."
"But what does Cang Zuo mean?" Wang Damao asked.
"Ask the headquarters to investigate a place where the National Army's Xth Manchu Division passed on its retreat route from Songlu. The place name has the word "cang" in it. Look for it to the left of the place name with the word "cang"." Wu Zedao.
The headquarters did not write down Brigadier Chen's solution to the problem in the intelligence, so Wang Damao didn't know.
But in front of him, Brigadier Chen's idea of solving the problem coincided with Wu Ze's.
When Wang Damao heard this, he immediately became excited: "Yes, yes, your idea of solving the problem is very good. Why don't the headquarters and the 386 brigade commander..."
"My idea may not be right. Let the headquarters send people to follow this." Wu Ze interrupted Wang Damao.
Wu Ze judged that the headquarters or the 386th Brigade should have some ideas to solve the problem. Perhaps they were consistent with his own ideas. The headquarters just wanted to hear more of his own ideas.
"Your idea may not be right?" Wang Damao paused and looked at Wu Ze: "What's wrong?"
"Don't worry about this. If you don't find the arms according to this idea, you can tell me again." Wu Zedao.
If this idea of solving the problem is wrong, then Wu Ze... this will not be easy to handle.
Wu Ze actually still had some impression of the word Cangzuo in later generations.
That is: Kun Can’s paintings, Cangzuo Chunya
An ancient saying goes: A wise man enjoys water, and a benevolent man enjoys mountains.
The ancients liked to indulge in the mountains and rivers, singing freely on delicate bridges, beside flowing waterfalls, in gurgling rivers, under ingenious trees, and in houses and huts far away from the hustle and bustle of the world...
In the wash of mountains and rivers, their understanding of the inner world gradually deepened, and they gradually reached a realm of life that truly transcended the material world, transcended themselves, and even transcended "gods".
In the history of painting, there is such a group. They became monks and left behind the most beautiful landscape memories in the minds of that generation with ink paintings.
They are the four painting monks in the early Ming Dynasty. The artistic landscapes painted by the four great painting monks are in the collection of the Palace Museum.
If the location of the arms is related to the famous paintings left by the four great painting monks, then the problem will be too big.
Now that the flames of war are raging everywhere, where can we find such famous paintings?
"Okay." Wang Damao stopped asking.
"Has the identity of Zhang Jijun's military commander been confirmed?" Wu Ze asked Wang Damao.
"Not yet, he hasn't taken action yet." Wang Damao shook his head. If he hadn't seen Zhang Jijun's lack of limits, he would have doubted whether Zhang Jijun was not an insider of the military.
"Keep waiting," Wu Ze said.
"yes."
