Chapter 10: Imminent Arrest

The telegram sent by the Chongqing station to the headquarters of the military command once again aroused discussion and shock at the headquarters of the military command, and the fact that an entire Japanese intelligence group could be seized at one time is a rare achievement in the military command. Especially this time, Zhang Jianghe not only seized an entire Japanese intelligence team, but also a radio station and a code book. In addition, Zhang Jianghe also has a list of insiders who have been bribed and co-opted by Japanese puppet spies, including many leading figures in Chongqing.

The Chongqing station once again sent a telegram to report the victory, and Zhang Jianghe's previous application to the Military Command Headquarters was also turned out by someone with a heart, and Zhang Jianghe's inconsistent performance made many people in the Military Command Headquarters confused, and they no longer knew how to evaluate Zhang Jianghe. "That's the gap! At a time when many people are busy getting promoted and making a fortune, only people like Zhang Jianghe are really hard-working and willing to work hard for the country and the people! Zhang Jianghe's telegram of good news made the bureau seat greatly appreciated in front of the chairman of the NPC National Committee, and the bureau seat was reasonable and in a good mood and would not be stingy to praise Zhang Jianghe with the four words of party-state cadres and talents.

The attitude of the military command headquarters towards Zhang Jianghe has undergone earth-shaking changes overnight, which is something that no one at the Chongqing station expected, and Zhang Jianghe's office, which was still deserted before, immediately became crowded, but it is a pity that Zhang Jianghe is now in the barracks of the search team for most of the time. Zhang Jianghe, who was familiar with the process of handling the case under the military command, quickly perfected Matsumoto's confession in accordance with his own ideas, and ensuring that there would be no problems with this confession was the most urgent matter for Zhang Jianghe at present.

Zhang Jianghe confirmed the authenticity of the list from Matsumoto Hiroshi, and also received the support of the Military Command Headquarters, so he immediately urged Tang Cheng to arrest him. "Uncle, don't you have to continue with a paragraph?" Zhang Jianghe's impatience made Tang Cheng a little puzzled. Zhang Jianghe has always been calm, and when he fought with Japanese puppet spies in the past, most of them would order arrests after repeated confirmation, but today, Zhang Jianghe was too eager.

"What are you talking about, this Matsumoto is their little leader, you have already arrested Matsumoto, and the rest may already know the news." Zhang Jianghe naturally couldn't tell Tang Cheng what he wanted in his heart, just now, he personally checked the list with Matsumoto, and unexpectedly learned a piece of news related to the Chongqing underground party from Matsumoto's mouth.

The joint resistance of the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communists against Japan was a situation that the Japanese absolutely did not want to see, and although there would also be friction and fighting between the Kuomintang troops and the troops of the Eighth Route Army, on the whole, the situation of the joint war of resistance was still good. Faced with this situation, the Japanese army had no choice but to find another way, and many Japanese puppet spies lurking in the Kuomintang area received orders to create incidents, and the Japanese army hoped to sabotage the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communists through such means.

The intelligence team commanded by Matsumoto Hiroshi also received such an order, but they were arrested by Tang Cheng before they could carry out specific operations. From Matsumoto's mouth, Zhang Jianghe learned that several intelligence groups lurking in Chongqing City had more or less mastered some information about the underground party in Chongqing, and according to the deployment of the special high school, the information obtained by these intelligence groups would be summarized and secretly passed on to the office of the Central Committee in Chongqing.

The Central Unification and the Underground Party have always been old rivals, and borrowing the hand of the Central Unification to deal with the Underground Party has caused friction between the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communists, and this is another situation that the Japanese are happy to see. A member of Matsumoto's subordinate group was secretly checking and summarizing information related to the Chongqing underground party, and Zhang Jianghe, who learned the news, was quiet on the surface, but in fact he was already anxious. Because he was worried that he would be surveilled, Zhang Jianghe had no way to take the initiative to contact the Chongqing underground party organization at this time.

After some pondering, Zhang Jianghe finally found a solution to the trouble, that is, to urge Tang Cheng to arrest people immediately, and then use this opportunity to find and destroy those intelligence and materials related to the Chongqing underground party. Although Matsumoto Hiroshi and others knew about it, once these people fell into their own hands, it was impossible for them to have a chance to speak, so Zhang Jianghe was not worried that this matter would be leaked out in the end.

Tang Cheng saw Zhang Jianghe's resolute attitude, so he did not insist, but immediately gathered people and began to formulate an arrest plan. "Captain, didn't you say you were going to make a big one this time? Why is this sudden start arresting people? Like Tang Cheng just now, when Zhao Dashan and the others, who were summoned, learned that Tang Cheng was going to close the net and arrest people immediately, they all expressed their confusion with doubts on their faces.

"What? Are you still afraid that there will be no cases in the future? Tang Cheng, who was also suspicious, did not reveal it in his tone and expression, on the contrary, he deliberately defended Zhang Jianghe's decision. Tang Cheng pointed at Zhao Dashan and the others with his fingers, and among so many people in the conference room, only Lao Fu faintly felt that something was wrong. "Okay, jokes aside, let's talk about something practical!" When Zhao Dashan and the others stopped making trouble, Tang Cheng tapped the blackboard on his side with the small wooden stick in his hand.

"According to the information we have now, and the interrogation confessions we have obtained, these people on the blackboard are the targets we need to arrest this time." Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the blackboard, Tang Cheng turned around and used the wooden stick in his hand to point to the photos on the blackboard. "These people on the blackboard are the same intelligence team, lurking in the city according to the deployment of the special high class. This person's name is Lai Wenguang, but this is just his pseudonym, this person's real name is Matsumoto Hiroshi, and he is the leader of this butterfly group. ”

"Matsumoto has been caught by us, not only have we found the radio station and codebook from his residence, but we have also obtained a valuable confession from him. The Military Command Headquarters is also very concerned about this case, and they mean that we will arrest people immediately, and at that time, the Chongqing Station will also send people to participate in this arrest operation. Tang Cheng was very clever in placing the decision to arrest people immediately on the body of the military command headquarters, and Zhang Jianghe, who was also in the conference room, did not say anything to explain.

"There are a total of six people in the butterfly team, except for Matsumoto Hiroshi who has been caught by us, and the remaining five members are our targets this time." Below all the photos on the blackboard, Tang Cheng has marked them with numbers, and Matsumoto Hiroshi, as the team leader, has been marked as 1 by Tang Cheng. All the people in the butterfly team are under the surveillance of the search team, so the search team knows the whereabouts of each of them. Tang Cheng didn't waste much time, but divided the search team into several groups, and then asked each team to be responsible for arresting one person.

"Now that we know the whereabouts of each of them, the arrest will be very simple, and what I want to explain to you now is the problems that must be faced after the arrest." After Tang Cheng briefly explained the task, he did not let Zhao Dashan and them leave immediately, but looked around at everyone with a serious face. "The butterfly group has been lurking in Chongqing for a long time, and according to Matsumoto's confession, they have developed a lot of insiders."

"In the process of arrest, you are likely to encounter varying degrees of obstruction, and there may be acquaintances who will inquire about the situation afterwards. I will only say the following words once, and I hope that each and every one of you can remember them, instead of listening to them once and forgetting them. Tang Cheng tapped his fist lightly on the table to accentuate his tone. The butterfly team is just the beginning, and the search team will soon carry out a concentrated sweep of the whole city. ”

"As long as there is action, there will be benefits to be taken, but I want to remind everyone that there are some benefits, don't stretch out your hand, be careful to toss and lose your head when the time comes." Tang Cheng had never spoken to Zhao Dashan and them in this tone, although everyone present was older than Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng's tone and expression didn't look like he was joking, although some people didn't think so, but they still made promises to Tang Cheng along with others.

Tang Cheng's warning was not remembered on a whim, during the time he was not in Chongqing, some people in the search team couldn't bear it, and they were already secretly doing smuggling business with some robe brothers, and even made some casino brothels backstage. Tang Cheng actually did not object to his subordinates using the brand of a search team to seek some personal interests for themselves, but Chongqing would soon become the accompanying capital, and if the incident happened, even Tang Cheng might be implicated.

Tang Cheng did these things by himself, because he was sure that the incident would not involve him, and Tang Cheng still had Zhang Jianghe as a backer behind him. These veteran policemen in the search team don't have backers like him, and once something happens, he, the former captain, will inevitably be taken out by some well-intentioned people to talk about it. Tang Cheng didn't have the idea of giving others the guilt, so when he took this opportunity, he had to remind his subordinates of these old policemen first, looking at Zhao Dashan's attitude and reaction, the effect seemed to be quite good.

"While I agree with what you just said, I don't think it's the right time to say it!" After the meeting ended, Zhang Jianghe told Tang Cheng about what he had just done in the conference room. "You can't always make decisions for them, not to mention that these guys under your command are all old oilmen, if they unite privately because of this matter, you can only suffer as the captain in the end."

Zhang Jianghe's persuasion failed to get Tang Cheng's approval, "Uncle, you are growing up others to destroy your own prestige!" You're underestimating me, aren't you? What can they do when they are privately united? It's a big deal that I'll just change a group of people, there is nothing else in Chongqing, and idlers are everywhere. Don't forget, there is also a labor camp outside the city, and the people in it are not ordinary people. Those guys, although they are all rooster thieves, but if they are used in the right place, I am afraid that they will not be much worse than Zhao Dashan and them. ”
