Ono Jiro and Xiong Xiyuan were both dead, and Fu Yewen was also arrested. Xie Xuan did everything he promised Li Junshi, and as for Fu Yewen, it was considered a gift.
Scar and Mustache were shot by the Japanese army. The four assassins who assassinated Xiong Xiyuan were also shot. Fu Yewen was also shot.
With Fu Yewen's death, Qing Shui's investigation finally came to an end.
He had a long talk with Xie Xuan in Shenpu.
Qingshui said: "According to Fu Yewen's confession, the last time you were attacked in Nantong was also due to his instructions. In the eyes of the people in the Secret Service, you are the most suitable to succeed Li Junshi. In order to get the upper hand, he must squeeze you away." . First he assassinated Jin Zi and wanted to put the blame on you. When this plan failed, he colluded with Xie Wei."
The Japanese torture is very cruel. Their methods are more terrifying than those of the Secret Service. They will use red-hot copper wire to pierce the root of the thigh, or even directly to the root of the man. That kind of pain is unbearable to anyone. Unable to resist.
As for pricking the fingertips with bamboo and pinching the meat between the ribs with iron pliers, this is all childish.
Under such torture, if Qing Shui wants to know something, the other party must cooperate.
He decided that there was something wrong with Fu Yewen, so there must be something wrong with Fu Yewen.
Qing Shui is a very powerful agent, but he is not a powerful interrogation expert.
At least when it came to Jin Zi, he had preconceived views and always felt that someone was controlling him behind the scenes. When Fu Yewen came out, his suspicions were confirmed, and his inner demons were finally released.
Xie Xuan sighed and said: "I'm just the director of the Secret Service. Is it necessary to kill people? How great would it be if Kaneko was still alive? And Jiro Ono, what a good person, he was gone just as soon as he said no."
Qing Shui said sincerely: "We feel that the Secret Service Department cannot be left without an owner for a day. You were originally the deputy director of the Secret Service Department. As the director, everyone can accept it. Therefore, Xie Sang, I would like to ask you to come forward and take charge of the overall situation."
Xie Xuan shook his head: "I have resigned from all positions in the Secret Service Department. There is no point in returning to the Secret Service Department. Besides, if I return to the Secret Service Department, others will think that I am the real beneficiary."
Qing Shui said: "There must be someone in charge of the Secret Service, right? No matter who takes charge, people will be suspicious. Xie Sang doesn't have to worry."
He nodded secretly in his mind. Xie Xuan saw clearly, which meant that he really had no intention of returning to the Secret Service. It was not as he thought before. Xie Xuan was retreating in order to advance.
Xie Xuan suddenly said: "There is a saying in China that foreign monks can chant sutras."
Qing Shui asked: "A foreign monk can recite sutras? Does Xie Sang mean to let an outsider take charge of the work of the Secret Service?"
"certainly."
Qingshui said: "If an outsider is sent here, Xie Sang can continue to serve as the deputy director of the Secret Service Department and preside over the actual work of the Secret Service Department. You can still serve as the chief of Shenpu Police and the director of Jiangsu Police Department."
Xie Xuan refused again: "Qingshui-kun, I really don't need to go back to the Secret Service. I believe that Japan may have some ideas about the Secret Service. The secret service organization is too mediocre and cannot achieve results, and will be criticized as incompetent. But if it is too If you are too good, it will be too big to lose."
Qing Shui asked: "Xie Sang has been in the Secret Service for many years. Is there any good way?"
Xie Xuan said softly: "Divide and conquer."
Qing Shui's eyes lit up: "Divide and conquer?"
Xie Xuan said humbly: "You are more experienced than me in this aspect, so I won't show my shame."
Isn’t Japan’s current control over China also based on divide and rule? Xie Xuan supported Manchuria, North China, Nanjing, and the previous reform government in order to prevent any party from becoming too powerful.
Qingshui said: "Xie Sang, no matter what happens to the Secret Service in the future, I still hope you can come back. This is my true thought. If you are not in the Secret Service, these people will not be able to achieve anything in the future."
Xie Xuan said: "I believe that with Mr. Qingshui's personal guidance, no matter who comes to the Secret Service, they can be the same as before, or even more brilliant."
Sure enough, a few days later, the Japanese directly instructed the "Central Political Committee" in Nanjing to hold an extraordinary meeting and passed a "Central Military Commission Adjustment Bill", deciding to abolish the Investigation and Statistics Department of the Military Commission, merge it with the Secret Service Department, and establish a new one "Political Department of the Military Commission".
The new director of the Political Department of the Military Commission is Wang Qiangzhi, a former member of the Political Work Committee of the Executive Yuan.
This Wang Qiangzhi is from Taiwan. He turned out to be the chief of staff of Jiang Changli's Ministry. He is a so-called artillery expert, known as "Wang Dapao".
He graduated from the fourth class of Huangpu. In 1926, he went to Japan to study in the artillery department of the Military Academy. He returned to China in 1929. In 1930, after the Nanjing Artillery School was established, Wang Qiangzhi served as a colonel instructor.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Wang served in Han Side's Department of the Kuomintang in northern Jiangsu, and later served as chief of staff of Jiang Changli's Department.
He had a good relationship with the Japanese secret service, and had a teacher-student relationship with Imai Takeda, who was engaged in "peace work" against China, and was therefore reused. After surrendering to the enemy, he first served as a lieutenant general on the Wang Puppet Military Commission, and soon he was promoted to Deputy Director of the General Office of the Military Commission.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Wang Mingzhao established a staff headquarters in the Military Commission in order to adapt to the wartime system, and Wang Qiangzhi served as deputy chief of staff and director of the Department of General Affairs.
Last year, the Office of the Director-General of the Army was established, and he served as director, responsible for the reorganization and training of the puppet troops.
It should be said that Wang Qiangzhi does not understand spy work and is completely a military general. For him to serve as the political minister of the Military Commission, he can be regarded as a real foreign monk.
Wang Qiangzhi is also self-aware. He knows that none of the spies left by Li Junshi are easy to mess with. If he wants to do the work of the Political Department of the Military Commission well, he must have the assistance of a knowledgeable person.
Wang Qiangzhi originally wanted Xie Xuan to take action, but Xie Xuan refused.
He presided over the Qing Dynasty in northern Jiangsu and cooperated with the New Fourth Army in a tacit understanding. This was much better than engaging in espionage work.
Besides, Fu Yewen is dead. If he becomes the deputy director of the Political Department of the Military Commission, what will others think?
Even if you want to go to the Political Department of the Military Commission, you have to wait until Wang Qiangzhi can no longer play.
Xie Xuan did not agree, and Wang Qiangzhi did not press for it. Then, he found Yang Zengzheng and asked him to be the deputy director of the Political Department of the Military Commission.
Yang Zengzheng is the director of the Reporting Office of the Military Commission. He often reports on the great achievements of the Secret Service Department. He is very familiar with the secret agents of the Secret Service Department. He feels that even if he is not an expert, he is at least knowledgeable.
Who would have thought that after he became the deputy commander, he would not be able to command these agents in the Secret Service Department.
Xie Xuan was in Nantong, quietly observing the actions of the Political Department of the Military Commission. He found that Wang Qiangzhi was completely ignorant of spy work.
The Political Department of the Military Commission was composed of the original Secret Service Department and the Army Training Director. Wang Qiangzhi also divided the Political Department of the Military Commission into the Political Security Bureau and the Intelligence Bureau based on the nature of these two units.
It's embarrassing for him to divide it like this.
