Chapter Twenty-Four: Wandering Without a Soul
"Team Leader Chen, when it comes to this You Soulless Soul, I have a question," Geng Chaozhong frowned, "Why do you suspect that Cao Guangyuan is You Soulless?" There have been too many Kuomintang and Communist Party from the south to the north in 29 years, and this alone is probably not enough evidence! ”
This is the question that Geng Chaozhong wanted to ask Dai Yunong just now.
"You have no soul." Speaking of the name, Chen Gongshu's eyes seemed to lose focus, as if they were caught in a long memory.
"This person appeared after the 27-year purging of the party. At that time, the Whampoa students were divided into two factions, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the fight was inextricable, and later there was a shooting, then there was a large-scale armed fight, and finally the purging of the party.....
Fortunately, our fifth batch of freshmen has just entered the school, and it has not been affected too much. Even so, I was put in by the newly established Party Investigation Section, slapped in the face a few times, and censored. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Gongshu suddenly smiled to himself, "How did I talk about this..."
Coughing, Chen Gongshu continued:
"After the purging of the party, the Red Party was shot on a large scale, and many people scattered and fled, but the Party Investigation Department was very strict at that time, and launched the local gang market in Guangzhou, and many people were arrested before they could escape far, some were shot on the spot, and some were directly pushed into the Pearl River.
But at this time, a mysterious man appeared with eyes and hands, and under the nose of the Party Investigation Department, he got a boat and sent the Red Party students who were not caught to Shanghai, and later we caught a few fish that slipped through the net, according to them, the man who rescued them was not tall, with a round face and big eyes, spoke Cantonese, was about thirty years old, and claimed to be soulless. ”
Geng Chaozhong was stunned, this description is very similar to Cao Guangyuan's image - but this doesn't mean anything, there are too many Cantonese people who look like this.
"A specter, the specter of communism, roams Europe. For the sake of the sacred encirclement of this spectre, all the powers of old Europe, the Pope and the Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, the radicals in France and the police in Germany, were united. ”
Chen Gongshu suddenly read a sentence of the Communist Manifesto, and Geng Chaozhong immediately understood that the name You Wusoul came from the first sentence of the Communist Manifesto.
Clearing his throat, Chen Gongshu continued:
Later, the military academy moved to Nanjing, and then in 28, immediately after that, it happened that the Red Party 108 will gather in Yuhuatai. I am a first-hand witness to this incident, and there are also classmates around me who have participated in this organization. At that time, it coincided with graduation, and in the end, only 18 leaders were caught, and two of them confessed their problems, saying that the Red Party students of the Nanjing Military Academy belonged to the special party branch of the Communist Party of China in Nanjing, and the secretary of the party branch was called You Wusoul. ”
"Are these two wandering souls the same person? It is also possible that this wandering soul borrowed the fame and prestige of the previous wandering soul. Geng Chaozhong asked.
"That's definitely not the case," Chen Gongshu replied, "The person who gave the question at the time said that this You Wusoul is also not tall and has a Cantonese accent, but he has never seen a face this time. ”
"Then how did you focus your attention on Cao Guangyuan?" Geng Chaozhong asked again.
The first person Cao Guangyuan followed was Hu Hanmin, who happened to be in Guangzhou at the time. Later, Hu Hanmin was anti-communist, and he followed Wang Jingwei and then followed Wang Jingwei to Nanjing. Later, Wang Jingwei was also anti-communist, he did not follow Wang Jingwei to Wuhan, but unexpectedly defected to Xu Enzeng and was transferred to the Jinan Party Investigation Section as a section chief with little real power.
The trajectory of his series of activities is completely consistent with the trajectory of You Wusoul's activities in terms of time and place. And in 27 years, those who had the conditions to rescue the Red Party in Guangzhou could only be people within the Kuomintang, and the atmosphere at that time was not safe for anyone except for the extremely anti-communist Hu Hanmin's subordinates who would not be suspected. Combined with his body and appearance, this Cao Guangyuan's suspicion is the greatest. ”
"I see." Geng Chaozhong nodded.
Indeed, judging from many factors, Cao Guangyuan is indeed very likely to be this wandering soulless.
"Another point," Chen Gongshu's eyes flashed, "Nanjing is very close to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai, but this time Gu Shunzhang rebelled, Nanjing was almost not affected, don't you think it's strange?" ”
"It's really strange, it stands to reason that the two places are so close to each other, their exchanges and personnel exchanges should be very frequent, it doesn't make sense that Shanghai has caught so many, but Nanjing has not caught any of them." Geng Chaozhong agreed.
Therefore, the CCP organization in Nanjing is self-contained, and their leadership is likely to be a CCP organization that does not belong to Wu Hao's side.
In other words, this wandering soul is neither a European faction nor a Soviet faction, and should be the leader of the CCP in the Japanese faction. Chen Gongshu made another judgment.
Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but secretly admire - Cao Guangyuan first went to Japan, and he had a close relationship with Wang Jingwei's faction, which was indeed different from other factions.
"Team Leader Chen is high, and the little brother admires the five-body throw."
This Chen Gongshu is thoughtful, logical, and very good at considering problems from multiple perspectives such as political factions and action trajectories.
"It's too famous, Brother Fang," Chen Gongshu waved his hand, "I've been following this case for four years, if I don't have any experience, then I'm really stupid." ”
Chen Gongshu humbled himself, then looked at Geng Chaozhong with both eyes, and asked:
"Brother Fang, do you know, why did Brother Dai hand over the case that I have been with you for four years?"
"Is it because I came from the Party Investigation Department and am familiar with how they operate?" Geng Chaozhong asked rhetorically.
"Half of the answer is correct," Chen Gongshu smiled, "and half of it, because Brother Tianmu asked me to go to Beiping by name, and Brother Dai also agreed." ”
"I see." Geng Chaozhong also smiled.
It seems that Wang Tianmu will definitely not be willing to dig a few people from Boss Dai.
"However, I'm still a little jealous of you," Chen Gongshu looked at Geng Chaozhong with a jealous face, "I heard Xiao Sa say that Brother Tianmu wanted you to go over at the earliest, and I was just an alternative." ”
"Maybe it's because Big Brother Tianmu thinks you're too smart, and he likes honest people." Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.
"I'll just tell you the truth!" Chen Gongshu said sadly.
Then, the two looked at each other and laughed.
After laughing for a while, Chen Gongshu took out a file bag from the drawer, handed it to Geng Chaozhong, and said, "There are still some detailed materials, all here." But Brother Fang, I have to remind you that this Cao Guang is far from an ordinary person.
He has participated in Xinhai and participated in the Dharma Protector, is a member of the old league, and when he was young, he was very good at marksmanship. I heard that in the early days, he also made explosives in an attempt to kill Zheng Shaozhong, the governor of Guangdong in the Qing court.
In short, this is a ruthless person, you have to be careful. ”
Geng Chaozhong nodded in agreement.
Lao Cao is ruthless or not, others don't know, doesn't he know?!
