Shao Wenguang then turned the subject back to the case, and then asked, "Then what should we do next?" ”

"Of course, we still have to find their flaws in the transportation channels." Ning Zhiheng picked up an interrogation record on the table and handed it to Shao Wenguang, "Just now I carefully looked through the interrogation records of these core members, especially the records of the materials they transported from Wuhan to Chongqing, and found a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Shao Wenguang asked in surprise, he looked down at the interrogation records, many of these interrogation records were in charge of the interrogation, and he didn't see anything wrong for a while.

Ning Zhiheng opened his mouth and said: "The trade wind team has transported some weapons and radios to Chongqing before, these are indispensable equipment for intelligence work, and I also transported some medicines, which is understandable to me, after all, Chongqing is short of materials, and it is understandable that the intelligence team has prepared some medicines for emergency response."

However, since March this year, they have transported tobacco into Chongqing seven times, almost once in less than a month, and the transportation volume is not small. ”

Ning Zhiheng's inquiry made Shao Wenguang stunned, he quickly looked through the interrogation records, and sure enough, Yantu was mentioned in several records.

He hurriedly looked up at Ning Zhiheng and asked suspiciously, "This is really strange, what do the Japanese mean by this?" ”

Tobacco soil, that is, opium, a cancer in China's modern history, has been banned for a long time, but now it is becoming more and more intense, there are tobacco and soil sold everywhere in the country, and the tobacco houses that smoke opium are all over the country, especially in southwest China.

In Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, and Shu are even more overflowing with tobacco soil, and even many warlords cannot pay their salaries, so they replace them with tobacco soil, which directly causes the army's combat effectiveness to decline, and the common people in the territories under their jurisdiction must forcibly plant opium poppies, and the taxes paid for growing grain are much higher than the taxes for planting opium poppies, forcing many civilians to plant opium poppies and make opium.

Tobacco soil in Sichuan is like a flood, flooding, there are tobacco houses everywhere, as many as cattle hair, especially in Chongqing, because the profits are huge, it belongs to the profiteering industry, almost all gang forces, gangster forces, and even local forces are operating tobacco houses.

The problem that Ning Zhiheng said is here, tobacco is not a foreign product, Sichuan produces tobacco locally, and the output is very large.

At this time, the price of tobacco soil is not very high, otherwise there will not be so many people smoke, especially Sichuan belongs to the origin of tobacco soil, and the price of tobacco in the local area is relatively cheap.

So the Japanese didn't have to take such a big risk at all, and they only needed to spend a small amount of money to transport it from Wuhan to Chongqing, and they could buy it locally.

Shao Wenguang was also aware of these situations, he thought for a moment, and said suspiciously: "You suspect that this is not Yantu, but these people's confessions all say that it is Yantu, and they have not had the opportunity to confess before." ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded and said: "There are two possibilities, the first possibility is that the internal division of labor of Japanese spies is clear, the trade wind team is only responsible for the transportation channel, and the Wuhan headquarters transports other important items, but because of secrecy, they did not tell them the real situation, but they were only referred to as tobacco soil, and the trade wind team did not go to dismantle and inspect the goods privately, they thought it was tobacco soil, so the confessions were the same."

The second possibility is that the item itself is indeed tobacco, but this kind of tobacco, which is different from ordinary tobacco, must have its special use, otherwise the Japanese would never have traveled thousands of miles to transport ordinary tobacco, into Chongqing. ”

Shao Wenguang thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "Do you say it will be 'big soil', or 'southern soil', these two kinds of tobacco soil have the best quality, both are the best in the tobacco soil, and the land of Sichuan and Shu sells all 'Sichuan soil', the quality is very different, and the Japanese use these excellent tobacco soil for important purposes." ”

The so-called "big soil" is the "Paitona soil" produced in India, commonly known as the big soil, produced in India, when imported into China, it was made into a large round ball style, the color is yellow-black, the texture is soft, wrapped in tobacco leaves, it is the best in opium, the quality is high, and the price is of course high.

The soil of the south is the best in the domestic Yunnan tobacco soil, the best quality, the color and fragrance are good, there is the reputation of "the king of kings", the people who are addicted to opium call it "half a mile to smell the fragrance, three mouths to the top of a penny", but it is also high and difficult to find.

The Sichuan soil, as the name suggests, is produced in Sichuan Province, the yield is very high, but the quality is not high, quite toxic, and the harm to the human body is also great, but the price is low, even the ordinary smokers are willing to smoke.

In addition, there are many kinds of tobacco soil, because of the different origins, the quality is also different, that is, the Japanese in the northeast, also a large number of opium poppy, boiling opium, is called "border soil", also known as 'east soil', produced in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning Province, the Japanese will boil tobacco soil to sell all over China, for profit.

Ning Zhiheng didn't know much about the situation of tobacco, thought about it, pondered for a moment and said: "It's very likely, maybe they use this kind of top-quality tobacco to buy or control the target of rebellion, it's also possible, but I don't know how addictive this kind of tobacco is, and whether it can reach the point of controlling people's hearts, this needs to be investigated." ”

Ning Zhiheng was silent for a while, and after thinking carefully, he said categorically: "I'm going to re-interrogate these key members, to really find out what they are transporting, this must be a breakthrough!"

You go to find out the places they confessed, they confessed that every time the place was prepared by the other party, they put the items at the point and left, the two sides did not meet, among them, the point of tobacco and soil is at No. 46 Zhaojiagang Zouma Street, you go to take a look, in the time period of delivery, the right to use the house in whose hands? Is it a homeowner or a tenant? These are all very critical clues, in short, to figure out everything about the situation, we have to follow this line and find the Japanese spy organization, or that sentence, we must act quickly! ”

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

Ning Zhiheng no longer had a moment's delay, he immediately rushed to the interrogation section and re-interrogated Dai Anhe and other key members.

"Explain to me, the confession says that in addition to weapons and radios, you have transported tobacco seven times in the past six months, what kind of items is the tobacco here?"

Ning Zhiheng looked at Dai Anhe, if there is anyone in the trade wind group who knows the real truth, then it must be Dai Anhe, he is the supreme commander of the trade wind group, and he knows the most secrets.

Dai Anhe looked at Ning Zhiheng and shook his head again and again, and hurriedly denied: "It is indeed smoke, this is what I was notified in the telegram from the headquarters, and I didn't open it to confirm, the smell of smoke is very strong, and because of the safety of transportation, every time the packaging is very hidden, it is all wrapped in oilcloth, and I haven't opened it for inspection when it is sealed into a wooden box, so I immediately arranged for delivery." ”

Ning Zhiheng smiled coldly and asked, "Haven't you been suspicious about sending some tobacco and soil all the way in?" ”

Dianhe shook his head and said: "The organization has its own duties, I am only responsible for transportation, as for what kind of items are being transported, I have no right to check it, and I shouldn't even check it, in our business, curiosity can't be too heavy." ”
