Xie Xuan went to see Hu Dachun and Hou Zheng with food and wine. Naturally, they were not defensive about Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan asked: "You were taken away by the Japanese, so you didn't suffer much, right?"
Hou Zheng said angrily: "When did the Japanese treat us as human beings?"
He is the director of the Jiangsu Provincial Grain Bureau, a truly powerful figure. The Japanese army purchases tens of thousands of tons of military grain in Jiangsu every year, which requires the strong cooperation of the Grain Bureau.
Otherwise, given the moral character of the Japanese army, the only way to complete the procurement of military rations is by robbing them.
But even the officials in charge of such an important department were not given any face when they came to the Japanese. They were tortured and almost killed them.
This made them particularly disappointed with Japan. Didn't they just sell some food? What's the big deal?
Xie Xuan comforted him: "Fortunately, Governor Li quickly called you over after knowing the situation. No matter what you said over there, don't take it to heart. Governor Li has everything."
He had to know what Hou Zheng and Hu Dachun had said to the Japanese. Although they would always keep their mouths shut, the situation still had to be clarified.
Hu Dachun asked worriedly: "If Governor Li treats us like this, will we have a future?"
Xie Xuan said: "If there was no future, would I come to see you? Although I brought the food and wine, it was ordered by Governor Li. Your treatment here is mainly for the Japanese. They mistreat How can you be justified in saying that you have good food and wine after you come back? The Japanese know that you are treated poorly here, so naturally they feel relieved."
Hou Zheng's eyes lit up: "So Governor Li has such deep meaning?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't come to see you."
Hu Dachun asked tentatively: "Director Xie, we said some things to the Japanese that we shouldn't have said. Will it bring any trouble to Governor Li?"
Xie Xuan asked casually: "What did you all say? Let's hear it and see if it will cause trouble for Governor Li."
Hou Zheng said: "Actually, it's nothing. We just talked about selling the grain to northern Jiangsu."
Xie Xuan sighed and said: "Lao Hou, Lao Hou, you waited in the grain bureau in vain. Can you tell the Japanese about such a thing? Let's not talk about whether you have shouldered everything, even if you shirk the responsibility It doesn't matter if you give it to Governor Li. Governor Li can still get you back and let me come to visit you, doesn't that mean everything?"
Hou Zheng sighed and said: "At that time, the Japanese threatened and intimidated me, and even used torture. How could my old bones withstand the torture?"
Xie Xuan comforted him: "That's okay. Since you're back, you don't have to think so much. However, you have to tell the Japanese exactly what you told them. Only when you have enough detailed information can you tell the Japanese deal with."
Hou Zheng immediately said: "This is what it should be. I'll leave everything to Director Xie."
Xie Xuan said: "Discuss it together, especially don't ignore the details. If you say something casually, you may reveal confidential information to the Japanese."
Later, he sent paper and pens to Hou Zheng and Hu Dachun, and in order to be more realistic, he also had someone make them a pot of tea.
In the evening, Xie Xuan waited for their report to come out and immediately sent it to Li Junshi.
"These two bastards really talk about everything."
After Li Junshi read it, he slammed the table heavily in anger.
Hou Zheng and Hu Dachun almost told everything about the deal with the Third War Zone.
Especially in the post-war affairs, it was stated clearly that his transaction with the Third War Zone came from Li Junshi's instruction.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Hou Zheng feels that if it falls into the hands of the Japanese, as long as the truth is told, there may be a glimmer of hope.
They are now in Li Junshi's hands, and their chances of survival are gone.
Xie Xuan suddenly said: "Governor Li, Hou Zheng and Hu Dachun knew that they were guilty of serious crimes and committed suicide in fear of crime. Is it reasonable?"
At this time, in order to prevent the Japanese from pursuing in-depth investigation, the best way is to keep Hou Zheng and Hu Dachun from talking forever.
Li Junshi said: "Of course it is reasonable, very reasonable."
In fact, this is also what the Japanese mean. They can not deal with Li Junshi, or even pretend not to know, but Hou Zheng and Hu Dachun must die.
Now that Li Junshi approves, Xie Xuan can make arrangements.
Xie Xuan didn't have to do things like this himself. He didn't even have to explain it clearly. He only needed to look at the people in the detention center and they would understand.
In the evening, Xie Xuan returned to the Suzhou hotel.
Ma Tian has already found a house for him, but it still needs to be cleaned and some furniture added. During this period, Xie Xuan and Gu Jiahan will still stay in the Suzhou Hotel.
Xie Xuan went to Shenpu for several days, and Gu Jiahan had been in Suzhou. During the time when Xie Xuan left, she felt empty in her heart.
Gu Jiahan observed the situation outside through the window every day. When she saw Xie Xuan's car coming back, she was ecstatic and was about to open the door and come out to greet him.
When his finger touched the doorknob, Gu Jiahan suddenly stopped again.
No matter what, she is a girl and needs to be reserved.
However, after waiting for a while, she still couldn't hold it back, because a voice in her heart was persuading: If there is important information, she can report it to Xie Xuan immediately.
Such a reason is reasonable and reasonable, and Gu Jiahan has enough reasons to see Xie Xuan.
"you are back?"
Gu Jiahan knocked on Xie Xuan's door and said softly.
Xie Xuan said: "Yes, I came back in the morning and have been working on work. Come in and talk."
Gu Jiahan said: "The torch has returned. In addition, the latest order has been sent from the superiors. A comrade from the Central China City Industry Department will come to Suzhou soon and asked us to do a good job in reception."
"Did you tell me who it was?"
"It seems not. Just let us do the reception work."
Xie Xuan said: "Ask Lao Yang to clean the safe house that was prepared before. In addition, the camera must be ready."
Before he went to Shenpu, he told Yang Zhiyi that several safe houses should be set up in Suzhou. In addition, some commonly used equipment should be prepared, such as cameras and radio stations.
Since the superiors want to send people to Suzhou, the first thing to do is safety work. As long as it is safe, it is the best reception.
The next day, Xie Xuan was still in the Suzhou hotel when he received a call from the Qingxiang office: Hou Zheng and Hu Dachun were hanged in the cell last night and left a "suicide note". They regretted their actions and could only Apologize to death.
Although there were many doubts about their deaths, the Japanese did not pursue them, and the Secret Service would not pursue them. The case of Hou Zheng and Hu Dachun was concluded.
Xie Xuan went to see their bodies and after confirming that they were really dead, he met Li Junshi.
Unexpectedly, Li Junshi told him a shocking news...
