Xie Xuan first gave Luo Qi an order to send someone to Taiping County to find out why Liu Hou left alone.
In addition, it is necessary to collect all Liu Hou's resources. If Liu Hou surrenders, he may leave photos.
Even if there are no photos, you still need to know his appearance and characteristics.
Gong Bing did not know that Liu Hou would come to Shenpu, and did not inquire about Liu Hou's situation from his comrades in the New Fourth Army.
This was an order personally issued by the third boss. Luo Qi did not dare to neglect it and went to Taiping County himself.
He graduated from the seventh phase of the infantry course at Huangpu and was also a lieutenant colonel. He was considered relatively high in terms of qualifications and seniority.
Shancheng sent a telegram to Taiping County in advance. As a special commissioner, Luo Qi did not dare to be disrespectful to him, whether he was the magistrate of Taiping County or the garrison.
A few days later, Luo Qi returned to Shenpu and immediately went to his mailbox to report to the third boss about his trip to Taiping County.
Roach knew that the third boss was a very meticulous person and his reports were written in great detail.
For example, when he went to Taiping County, what kind of car did he take, who did he meet on the way, where did he get the shot, who did he meet in Taiping County, what words did he say, all details were reported clearly. .
Regardless of whether the reason for Liu Hou's surrender was greed for money or loss of confidence in the revolution, when he went to Taiping County, he had already plundered all the belongings of Xiang, Zhou, and Huang.
These include eight and a half small yellow croakers, three pistols (including high-grade Brownings given to Xiang by others), three Parker fountain pens, one gold watch and one train watch, and more than 26,000 French dollars.
After these things arrived in Taiping County, they were all confiscated by the county government.
Taiping County then sent special agent captain Chen Sixin and the garrison to go to Bee Cave to search for the bodies of Deputy Commander Xiang and Chief of Staff Zhou.
The result was not found, which made Taiping County doubt Liu Hou's words.
After all, Chen Sixin took hundreds of people and searched all around, but no bodies were found, so there was no way to prove that Liu Hou killed Deputy Commander Xiang and Chief of Staff Zhou.
Originally, Taiping County had high hopes for Liu Hou. If the bodies of Deputy Commander Xiang and Chief of Staff Zhou could be found, it would be a great achievement.
Unfortunately, without the body, the credit was wasted.
Liu Yuan was originally a guest, but after a trip to the Bee Cave, he was quickly ignored. Even Chen Sixin was unwilling to talk to Liu Hou anymore.
After Liu Hou was angry, he left Taiping County alone and prepared to go to the mountain city.
Naturally, the property he collected could not be returned. It is said that he borrowed 100 yuan from the Taiping County Government before he could set out.
But with this little money, it may be impossible to get to the mountain city.
It is said that Liu Hou has a relative in Shenpu, and his idea is to go to Shenpu first, and then go to Shancheng from Shenpu.
However, Taiping County does not know the situation of this relative.
Taiping County's focus was on locating the body of Deputy Commander Xiang. They did not establish a file for Liu Hou, and naturally did not know his social connections.
After reading Luo Qi's report materials, Xie Xuan took the initiative to make an appointment with Gong Bing.
"This is what I sent people to Taiping County to investigate."
Xie Xuan brought Luo Qi's report materials, and Commander Cheng ordered that anyone who saw Liu Hou should be shot on the spot. His top priority at the moment was to find Liu Hou.
Gong Bing murmured: "Liu Hou has relatives in Shenpu? This is a key clue."
Xie Xuan asked: "Have Liu Hou's files been found?"
Our party is much more serious than the Kuomintang when it comes to filing records. All of Liu Hou’s social relationships will definitely be included in the files.
Not only that, things like name, original name, alias, pseudonym, gender, age, place of origin, characteristics, mailing address (permanent, current), education, experience, work route, political parties and organizations you have participated in, and religious beliefs will all be mentioned. .
Gong Bing shook his head and said: "Everything was destroyed. What we know so far is that he is from Leiyang, Hunan. He was born in a poor farmer. He was the backbone of the peasant movement in his hometown during the Great Revolution. After the failure of the Great Revolution, he fought guerrillas in the local area. Anti-Japanese War After the war broke out, the guerrillas he led were incorporated into the New Fourth Army.
In 1938, he went to study at the Anti-Japanese University in Caodong. In the second year, he transferred to the New Fourth Army Teaching Corps to study, and was later assigned to the Adjutant's Office of the New Fourth Army's Military Headquarters as an adjutant.
Liu Hou's individualism was very serious. He always felt "ambitious" in the army. He was always dissatisfied with the party and the organization and had serious thoughts of banditry and retribution. "
Xie Xuan said softly: "There is something wrong with his thinking. He cannot withstand the test of revolution. It is inevitable that he will be shaken and rebel immediately after setbacks."
Liu Hou was not a true revolutionary, but at most an opportunist. He joined the revolution not for the country and the nation, but for better enjoyment.
Such people, even if they don't rebel this time, will make big mistakes in the future.
Gong Bing asked: "What are you going to do next?"
Xie Xuan asked: "Do you have Liu Hou's facial features?"
Gong Bing said: "He looks thin and has no obvious features. He just has a sarcoma as big as an egg on his lower back."
Xie Xuan sighed and said: "This is of no use. If we can find his relatives, it will be easier."
Gong Bing said anxiously: "So, there is nothing we can do?"
Xie Xuan muttered: "It's not that there is no way. I'm worried that it will be too late."
"Let's talk about it first."
"Go to Liu Hou's hometown in Leiyang, Hunan. People there will definitely know what relatives Liu Hou has in Shenpu. If you can find out more detailed information, you can determine Liu Hou's foothold in Shenpu. However, It will take time to contact the underground party in Leiyang, it will take time for them to inquire about the news, and it will take even more time to spread it to Shenpu. I am worried that by the time the news comes from Leiyang, Liu Hou will have left Shenpu."
Gong Bing said: "Can the military commander investigate? You have a radio station. You can send people to investigate tomorrow. Maybe there will be news the day after tomorrow."
Xie Xuan shook his head: "The military commander does not know that Liu Hou is from Leiyang. Without a suitable reason, it will only arouse the military commander's suspicion."
Something abnormal is a monster. He suddenly asked the military commander to go to Liu Hou's hometown in Leiyang. Shancheng had to ask: How did you know that Liu Hou was from Leiyang, Hunan?
Xie Xuan couldn't tell Dai Li that he knew it from the Communist Party, right?
In that case, he, the third boss, will soon become Liu Naou's second boss.
Gong Bing frowned: "This is indeed a problem."
Xie Xuan said: "Let's do this in two steps. You first report the intelligence and let the New Fourth Army comrades who know Liu Hou recall it to see if they can learn more about the situation. No matter what the situation is, as long as it is about Liu Hou, I am the boss's wife. In addition, through my superiors, I quickly contacted the comrades of the Leiyang underground party and asked them to investigate the situation of Liu Hou's relatives in Shenpu. As for me, I will also think of a way to see if I can pass the military command's fair investigation. .”
