Looking at the handwritten copy of "Labor Front", although the handwriting is very neat, it was written with a pencil and the words on it were a little blurry.
Moreover, the paper was torn, old, wrinkled, and even torn in some creases.
This handwritten paper is either very old or has been circulated many times.
Moreover, Xie Xuan noticed that the hand-written paper seemed to have been soaked in water, and there was a smell on it. He felt like potion, but it also seemed to smell like something else. Anyway, it was pungent and unpleasant.
Xie Xuan just looked at it and handed the newspaper back to Ueno Naomi.
Naomi Ueno took the manuscript, threw it aside, and asked, "What do you think of this manuscript?"
Xie Xuan looked at it and said: "This kind of handwritten newspaper was either produced in extreme circumstances or by the peripheral organizations of the underground party."
Naomi Ueno asked again: "What do you think the situation is?"
Xie Xuan said: "Judging from the contents of this handwritten newspaper, it is definitely not done by a peripheral organization, otherwise, it would not have such depth."
Ueno Naomi said: "Your analysis is correct. This handwritten newspaper came from the prison."
Xie Xuan said in surprise: "Prison? How is this possible?"
He knew that this handwritten newspaper must have come from a very extreme environment, but he never expected that it would come out of prison.
Naomi Ueno said with a half-smile: "You are the director of the Jiangsu Police Department, and the prison is under your control."
Xie Xuan said: "I, the director of the Jiangsu Police Department, am nothing. If you want me to investigate, you must first tell me where you got this handwritten newspaper?"
As the Qing Dynasty began, various prisons in Jiangsu Province were overcrowded. There are currently three prisons, and each prison has several sub-prisons.
It is estimated that tens of thousands of people were imprisoned in the prisons of the entire Wang Puppet Jiangsu Province.
Of course there are Communist Party members among so many people, but most of them are ordinary people.
Many people were arrested for passing the checkpoints without bringing documents or bypassing the checkpoints. There are even some people who were maliciously detained because they did not give any benefit to the checkpoint inspectors.
In the Qingxiang area, each village is separated by mud fences, and checkpoints are set up between villages.
Some people want to visit relatives. It used to be a matter of a few steps, but now they have to go around in a big circle and pass through the Qingxiang Checkpoint.
At present, these Qingxiang checkpoints, especially those in some prosperous areas, are definitely places full of oil and water.
Some people don't even want to be officials and would rather go to checkpoints.
It is said that the inspector at Shenpu Railway Station can earn nearly 10,000 yuan in extra income a day, which shows that these Qingxiang checkpoints are very lucrative.
It is precisely because of the growing appetite that ordinary people would feel embarrassed if they passed the checkpoint and were not given any benefits, so they were labeled as anti-Japanese elements.
Ueno Naomi said: "This was found in a vegetable field."
Xie Xuan asked in surprise: "Vegetable plot? What does this have to do with the prison? Is it the prison's vegetable plot?"
Naomi Ueno said: "It's not the prison's vegetable patch, but the feces in the vegetable patch are collected from the prison."
Xie Xuan said: "This is easy to handle. Just go to the prison where the feces was collected and find it."
Ueno Naomi said: "The feces was collected from the Third Prison, but the Third Prison has three sub-prisons. I don't know which one specifically."
Xie Xuan said angrily: "These Communists are dishonest, so they have been arrested, and they still want to make a name for themselves. In fact, it doesn't matter whether this kind of thing is investigated or not. If it is found, it is nothing more than an extra level of guilt. I feel that through this Zhang hand-copied the newspaper, but the management of the prison needs to be improved. They can get pens and paper, and they can circulate them. This is too easy."
Ueno Naomi asked: "Aren't we going to investigate?"
Xie Xuan said: "Let me ask you, what should you do if you find out? Kill the person? Or increase the sentence and impose a harsh sentence? It has no effect on the Communist Party. They are not even afraid of death, what else do they dare not do? Besides, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if we didn’t find out?”
Ueno Naomi asked: "You can't know that the Communist Party is active and just ignore it, right?"
Xie Xuan said: "If it were other places, of course they would have to be uprooted. But this is a prison, and they are already under our control. As long as we strengthen the management of the prison and cut off their escape route, such handwritten reports , and naturally disappeared.”
Naturally, he doesn't want to investigate. What's the point of finding out the Communist Party in prison?
If there is an important person in the prison, then go and investigate.
On the surface, he advised Ueno Naomi not to meddle in other people's business, but in fact he knew very well that the appearance of this handwritten newspaper actually explained a lot of problems.
For example, the Communist Party in prisons should be organized.
At least some party members have already organized themselves.
They can write newspapers, which means they are well organized.
Naomi Ueno thought for a while and said, "Although what you said is unreasonable, it seems to make some sense."
Of course, if we could find the few people who copied the newspapers, we could only impose severe sentences or simply shoot them.
As Xie Xuan said, it would be embarrassing if it couldn't be found out.
Xie Xuan said: "Let's do this. I will secretly send someone to investigate. If they can be found out, those Communists will be shot directly. If they are not found out, just pretend that this is not the case. We will talk about new clues in the future."
He knew that Naomi Ueno was not willing to give in. In Suzhou, they were the rulers, how could they let the prisoners do whatever they wanted.
Ueno Naomi said: "This is good. At least it will ensure that such handwritten newspapers will never appear in prison again."
Xie Xuan said firmly: "Then don't worry, there will never be this "Labor Front" in the future."
Ueno Naomi asked: "What if there is?"
Xie Xuan said: "If the Labor Front appears again, I, the director of the Jiangsu Provincial Police Department, will quit my job."
His words were very clever. He did not say that there would be no more hand-written newspapers, but that there would be no more "Labor Front".
As long as the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee conveys the news to relevant parties, wouldn't it be enough to cancel the "Labor Front"?
Xie Xuan believes that starting from today, "Labor Front" will change its name.
Ueno Naomi said: "No, this punishment is too light. If there is another "Labor Front" in the future, you have to become my man."
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "It seems that I don't need to investigate anymore. Let the "Labor Front" continue to appear."
Naomi Ueno smiled and said: "This is what you said. I will investigate anyway and I must find the "Labor Front"."
Xie Xuan suddenly asked: "The Secret Service has applied to the Military Police to build a radio location detection vehicle. When will Japan give it to us?"
He used this question to bring the topic to the radio location detection vehicle.
