The situation reported by Xu Chengyan made Cao Rui feel uneasy, but he was caught off guard by this sudden situation, and he couldn't guess the truth for a while.

I had to nod and say, "Okay, I've written down this matter, and I'll continue to investigate when I go back and see what the reason is." ”

After a pause, Cao Ruian thought about it again and continued: "Honestly, since you are bent on fighting, I really have a task here, which is the news that the stationmaster just got, but it is very difficult, you might as well think about it." ”

"What task? You just command! Xu Chengyan hurriedly asked, he knew that this task was not simple when he listened to Cao Rui'an's tone.

"Here's how it ......," Mr. Cao said.

It turned out that at this time, there were frequent wars in Shanxi, and the Japanese military not only arranged heavy troops to confront the Nationalist army on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain, but also dispatched a large number of troops to launch an attack on the Red Party's base area in the northwest of Shanxi.

At present, the Japanese have invested a large amount of military strength in Shanxi, and in order to maintain and support this protracted war, they have wantonly looted civilian wealth and food materials, and carried out the so-called strategy of feeding the war with war.

But even so, the looted materials are beyond their means, especially in terms of food, even if the puppet government organs in various places have intensified their expropriation and expropriation, but the common people in the occupied areas have been squeezed to the extreme, and even the rations have been handed over, and there is no surplus food at all, so the results are very small, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

As a result, the Japanese side came up with a new move, led by the Nikko Society, to hijack the merchants, landlords, and wealthy households in the occupied areas of Shanxi, and was preparing to organize a large-scale grain donation campaign.

Because these people are first and foremost willing to obey the rule of the Japanese, and at the same time have a slight relationship with the internal affairs of the puppet government, so the Japanese can't do too ugly, which is why this trick came to mind.

In the name of this campaign, it is called "donating grain on their own," but in fact it is nothing more than a robbery under the banner of donating grain, against these large households who have the strength to store grain.

In this way, the Japanese can collect a large amount of civilian grain through this means, and with this grain, the Japanese military can continue to maintain its suppression of the Chinese army, which can be said to be extremely harmful.

"At present, the big businessmen and puppet government officials in the occupied areas have sent representatives to Taiyuan to organize a mobilization meeting for the grain donation movement, and distribute and receive grain on the spot, and the time is ten days later, that is, on the 28th, our task is to sabotage this event, and it is best to make this matter yellow."

After listening to Cao Rui'an's introduction, Xu Chengyan suddenly remembered that what Zhang Zhiyuan said before was that the Rixing Club forced the Zhang family to hand over the stored grain, and the original reason was here.

However, as Cao Ruian said, this task is indeed too difficult, the grain donation campaign involves so wide, with the strength of Taiyuan Station, there is no power to stop it, and even if it destroys the convening of the mobilization meeting, it can only be delayed for a while, what can I do?

Seeing that Xu Chengyan didn't speak, Cao Ruian knew his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said again: "The stationmaster also knows that our ability is limited, so what he means is to try to sabotage the convening of this mobilization meeting, remember, as much as possible!"

The worst thing is that they can't be allowed to do this thing so smoothly, and they can delay it for a while. ”

"Got it!"

Xu Chengyan nodded heavily, in fact, compared with the previous assassination and revenge actions, this operation is more strategic and more in line with the scope of intelligence work.

It's just that the specific implementation measures are very limited, in the final analysis, it is to engage in sabotage, for Taiyuan Station, the practice is nothing more than assassination, blasting, etc., which is also the most commonly used means of the military command, in essence, it is no different from before.

"I took this task, but the topic is too big, I don't dare to pack tickets, I can only try to do it, to what extent I can do it, I will do it to what extent, I will go back and think about the specific plan, and when it is confirmed, I will report to you immediately!"

Xu Chengyan didn't say it to death, because he was really unsure, and of course Cao Ruian understood.

In fact, when Chu Guangji arranged this task, he adhered to the meaning, that is, as long as the Japanese wanted to do it, Taiyuan Station would do its best to destroy it.

"Okay, you make an action plan as soon as possible, this matter is very important, your intelligence team must go all out, if there is not enough manpower, or lack of money and materials, just mention it, I will fully support it!"

The task continued, and then the two discussed some details before they parted ways.

On the morning of the next day, the investigation department of the Xinmin Association, the personnel of the investigation department sent out had already found out the situation, and the operation captain Wang Wenzhi summarized the situation and reported to Ma Weide: "Section chief, we have found out the situation, in the eastern part of the city, there are six shops with such black fabrics, according to the operation time of the assassination of the leader of Yoshioka, in the past few days, there are two sales records, among which the Baoyixiang cloth store sold four horses at one time, That's enough to make eighteen sets of police uniforms. ”

"Know who bought it?" Ma Weide hurriedly asked.

"According to their recollections, it was the owner of a small tailor shop on Dongyang Street, named Liu Youxue."

"Liu Youxue?"

Ma Weide hurriedly checked the previous list of twelve suspicious persons, and the name of "Liu Youxue" was among them, and the two clues matched.

"Smack!" With a bang, Ma Weide slapped his palm on the table, "It's him!" Immediately and secretly arrested. ”

The group was about to leave, but at this moment, the phone on the table rang, and Maved had to turn around and pick up the phone.

The call was made by Yamada Otomo from the Special High School, and this was to inquire about the progress of the investigation again, and Yamada Otomo had to call once or twice a day to make such a call, which showed the urgency of his mood.

"Shaozuo, I have already had results on my side, the goal is clear, and I am about to prepare to arrest ......"

Ma Weide told the results of the investigation, and Yamada Otomo immediately couldn't sit still, and ordered Ma Weide to hurry up and send the person to the special high school for interrogation.

Putting down the phone, Ma Weide's heart was quite unpleasant, he was busy with some work, and finally got the result, this Yamada Otomo directly said a word, let the person be sent over, and the attitude was arrogant, commanding, and unacceptable.

This person is far inferior to Yoshioka Masao in terms of temperament and self-cultivation, if it is Yoshioka Masao, at least a few words of encouragement will be said at this time.

Ma Weide scolded a few words, but he was helpless, as a peripheral organization of the special high class, he must unconditionally obey the command of Yamada Otomo, thinking that Yamada Otomo will officially take over the position of intelligence team leader soon, Ma Weide is even more helpless in his heart.

After that, the arrest operation went very smoothly, Ma Weide came to the door with several plainclothes, Liu Youxue did not resist at all, he was scared and trembling at gunpoint, and when he was sent to the special high school, he couldn't even get out of the car, and when he was dragged to the interrogation room, he was shocked by the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, and he was even more paralyzed.

One night more than half a month later, a stranger came to the door, and after meeting, he directly threw out a pile of thick bills, saying that he wanted Liu Youxue to make a batch of police uniforms, and the sooner the better, the price is not a problem.

But despite this, Liu Youxue was timid and afraid, and he refused at that time, but then he was put on the head with a gun, and someone said that since Liu Youxue already knew about it, he had no choice but to cooperate, otherwise it would be blood splattered on the spot.

On the one hand, after refusing, he was killed and killed, and on the other hand, he obediently obeyed orders and took money.

Besides, the other party was generous, and his business had been sluggish, and this money was enough for him to earn for several years, so Liu Youxue quickly chose the latter.

Seeing that Liu Youxue agreed, the other party left a piece of paper, which clearly marked the size of the clothes, stated the three-day period, and then left.

After that, Liu Youxue and his wife worked day and night, working overtime to complete the production of this batch of police uniforms, and then the other party came to the door again on time, took away the police uniforms, and disappeared.

"That's all?" Yamada Otomo's eyes were fierce, vicious like a wolf staring at his prey, "You are not honest, what about the size of the paper?" ”

"Burn...... Burn it, I don't dare to keep that kind of thing, after I finish making clothes, I will burn it......" Liu Youxue trembled all over, and he couldn't even finish his words.

Looking at Liu Youxue's appearance, both Yamada Otomo and Ma Weide knew that it was impossible for this kind of person to have the guts to lie, that is to say, this clue was broken again.

Both of them were extremely disappointed, especially Yamada Otomo, who finally found out the flaws in the police uniform, and hoped that he could find the whereabouts of the military commander agents through this line, catch the viper and pit viper, and avenge Yoshioka Masao, and even take this opportunity to stabilize his position and be promoted to the position of head of the intelligence team, but it took so much effort, but in the end it was such a consequence.

Ma Weide did not give up, he leaned down and asked again, "What does this person look like?" ”

"Probably in his early thirties, about the same height as me, with a square face, and a very ordinary look." Liu Youxue replied honestly.

Ma Weide shook his head in disappointment, Liu Youxue's height is not high, and he is even a little low among the northerners, which is not in line with the situation he got before, he turned to Yamada Otomo and whispered: "It shouldn't be a viper and a pit viper!" ”

Yamada Otomo Tetsu blushed, waved his hand and ordered: "This person is not honest, use torture, if you can't find that person, you will take him and his family to die." ”

One sentence suddenly made Liu Youxue's soul fly out of the sky, his family of six, this time it was all over, he wailed, his body pounced forward, grabbed Yamada Otomo's ankle with one hand, crying and begging.

But to no avail, the two big men stepped forward and pulled him up, tied him to a stake, and were about to be tortured.

Ma Weide waved his hand again to stop the torture, his eyes were sharp, and he had just observed a trace of hesitation in Liu Youxue's eyes on the side, so he patiently persuaded him: "Boss Liu, think about it again, we know that you are not a Chongqing element, you are just being used, but it is not worth it to put the life of a family on the line for an irrelevant person." ”

Liu Youxue's mouth opened, and finally he had to say: "I look a little familiar with this person, but I don't dare to confirm it, for fear of wronging a good person." ”

Yamada Otomo's eyes lit up immediately, stepped forward, grabbed Liu Youxue's collar, and asked sharply: "Who is it, say it quickly!" ”

Liu Youxue was so frightened by Yamada that he didn't dare to look at it directly, and stammered and replied: "It's just a little similar, more than a month ago, one day it was raining heavily, I went to school to pick up my son home, and I saw a school worker during the period."

Later, when this person came to the door, I found that he and the school worker looked a little similar, but the dress was far from the same, I was still a little suspicious, but this person was very fierce, and I didn't dare to ask more, and I didn't know, whether it was a person or not? ”
