"What I mean by this is that this notice was published by the newspapers in Shanghai, and it is best for the major newspapers that published this notice to refute the rumor most forcefully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Among these major newspapers, the influence of the "Declaration" is the greatest, so we will first make a fuss on the "Declaration" and publicize the rumors."

"Comrade Feng Chen's method is very good, I fully agree, we will start to refute the rumors from the "Declaration", as for how to refute the rumors, we must think of a perfect strategy, not only to refute the rumors, but also not to let the comrades be implicated and expose themselves." An Zhida said approvingly.

"We can also write an article that openly disproves the conspiracy of the Kuomintang agents, and print it out as a leaflet, which I secretly take to Rieter Middle School for the progressive teachers and students there to post and distribute." Zhao Shouyi said.

"Good! Let's start with these two aspects and start to refute the rumors. An Zhida said.

"Comrade Zhida, can I reveal the news that Comrade Wu Hao has already been in the Central Soviet Region to Zhang Chong, so that he will die early and want to make a fuss about the notice?" Feng Chen asked.

"I think so." An Zhida replied.

"It's best to bring a copy of the leaflet we have drawn up to refute rumors, so that he can see it and let him know that the sewage he spilled is futile and useless." Zheng Liangcai added.

"Then do it, now let's divide the work, I will immediately draw up the content of the leaflet, immediately mimeograph, Teacher Zhao is responsible for taking the leaflet, go to the school to find progressive teachers and students to distribute, Comrade Feng Chen tried to reveal the content of the leaflet to Zhang Chong."

After An Zhida finished assigning the task, everyone agreed on a time to meet again, and left the grocery store separately.

In the afternoon, people distributed leaflets in the streets and alleys of the concession from time to time.

The leaflet said: "The recent advertisements in the Times, the News, and reactionary newspapers about Wu Hao and 243 others leaving the Communist Party are an example of the shameless rumors spread by the imperialist lackey of the People's Party...... No matter how much these dogs spread rumors and slander, they cannot shake the prestige of the Communist Party among the toiling masses! ”

This was the first and most direct action of the underground party to deal with Zhang Chong's rumors!

The next day, a small advertisement was placed on the "Declaration", which said:

"Mr. Wu Haojian: I promised to send an advertisement on the 18th of this month, but it was not published because Fuchang Bed Company denied the guarantee and the procedures were not in order."

This "Notice" seems to have nothing to do with the content of the "Notice" concocted by Zhang Chong, but it clearly tells the reader that "this Wu Hao" is not "other Wu Hao", which is an indirect way to refute rumors.

This is the second indirect action taken by the underground party organization to refute rumors.

The magazine "Struggle," a publication of Shanghai's underground party organs, then published a commentary entitled "Another Specimen of the Kuomintang's Rumors and Slanders."

The article states: "Crazy White Terror...... In the name of Comrade Wu Hao, he slandered Comrade Wu Hao and slandered the Communist Party of China. ”

This was the third action taken by the underground party organization.

However, these three actions to refute rumors are not clear enough and not strong enough.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, An Zhida once again gathered everyone together for discussion.

After everyone's deliberation, it was decided that Feng Chen would come forward, find a relationship, secretly hire a lawyer, and publicly refute the rumors directly in the newspaper.

After Feng Chen received the task, he immediately thought of the little Sun Hongtao he met in the Gu family compound when he went to Gu Village to investigate, and at that time the little Sun Hongtao once said that the eldest young master of his family was a barrister and had opened a law firm in the British Concession, and Feng Chen was going to consult with this lawyer surnamed Gu.

Xiao Sun Hongtao also left the Gu family's compound with Feng Chen and others from the cellar on the night of the 19th, and returned to the city with Feng Chen and Mo Sanqiang that night.

Before Feng Chen could contact Xiao Sun Hongtao, Zhang Chong sent Fang Xiaoman to call Feng Chen into the office.

After Fang Xiaoman left, Zhang Chong asked with a cold face, "How did you do it?" It's been so many days since the notice was published, and not a single communist has come forward to turn himself in? What is the reason for this? ”

"Commissioner, I picked up a leaflet distributed by the Communist Party on the street today, look at it." Feng Chen took out a flyer and handed it to Zhang Chongdao.

Zhang Chong frowned and looked at the flyer carefully.

"In addition, it is said that when our notice was published, Wu Hao had already arrived in the Jiangxi Soviet District of the Communist Party and held an important position in the Red Army, so there was no expected effect after the notice was published."

"Oh? Reliable intelligence? Zhang Chong dropped the leaflet in his hand, raised his head and looked at Feng Chen and asked.

"Gu Shunzhang should know if Wu Hao is still in Shanghai, you can ask him." Feng Chen replied.

"Let's go, let's go and meet with Li Shiqun, a reporter from the Shuwen News Agency, and see what this communist member has to say." Zhang Chong stood up from his desk and said.

Feng Chen followed Zhang Chong to the place where the Shanghai Special City Public Security Bureau held Li Shiqun, and when the cell door opened, Feng Chen looked at the past, and felt extremely shocked in his heart, the suave Li Shiqun had been tortured to the point that he could not look like it.

Li Shiqun curled up on a wooden bed in the corner, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was haggard, not human-shaped, his face was obviously scarred, and a thin quilt was placed on the wooden bed.

Seeing Feng Chen follow Zhang Chong into the cell, Li Shiqun suddenly raised his head and sat up, his eyes revealing a hint of brilliance, staring at Zhang Chong and Feng Chen for a long time.

"Is that how you treated Mr. Lee? I order you to add two more quilts to this place at once! Zhang Chong turned his head and reprimanded the guards behind him.

"Sir, it's ...... Lu, Inspector Lu won't let him, Inspector Lu said that if he doesn't confess, he will let him freeze to death in this cell." The guard stammered.

"This Lu Keqin is really playing the piano randomly! You go and prepare immediately, and if Lu Keqin asks, he will say that I arranged it. Zhang Chong sternly instructed the guard without any negotiation.

Lu Keqin is Ma Shaowu, his real name is Shi Jimei, he entered the Party Affairs Investigation Department of the Kuomintang in June 1930, and in June 1931, he was trained by the CCP traitor Gu Shunzhang for three months.

At the beginning of the year, Ma Shaowu was arranged by Xu Enzeng to come to Shanghai, mainly to deal with the Shanghai underground party.

In view of the fact that the secret service headquarters was still a secret agency and was the eyes and ears of the people, Shi Jimei used the pseudonym of Ma Shaowu to obtain the public identity of the special commissioner of the Central Party Department of the Kuomintang in Shanghai, so as to improve relations with all sectors in Shanghai.

At the same time, under the pseudonym of Lu Keqin, he obtained the post of inspector of the Shanghai Special City Public Security Bureau, which was used to protect his secret identity.

As the No. 2 person in the Central Investigation Department of the Kuomintang Party, Zhang Chong is of course very clear about Ma Shaowu's details.

After the guard left, Zhang Chong stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li, I have wronged you, I didn't expect Gu Shunzhang and Shi Jimei to use this method." ”

"There are even more despicable and shameless methods!" Li Shiqun finally spoke.

"Oh?! What do they want to do? Zhang Chong asked.

"They will go to arrest my wife, saying that they will deal with my wife in front of me, and see if I say that I am in the same party!" Li Shiqun's eyes were full of extreme resentment, and he replied word by word.

"Nonsense! Who came up with the idea? Zhang Chong was very angry when he heard this.

"Who else but Shi Jimei would come up with such an idea?!" Li Shiqun gritted his teeth and said.

"Mr. Li, I will stop them from acting against humanity, but after you have seen something, you should tell me what you really think, it is not an exaggeration."

"I'm not going to sell out the secrets of the Order in exchange for your cheap mercy and sympathy." Li Shiqun closed his eyes and said.

"Mr. Li, you should read it first and then decide whether to answer my question or not, this should be okay." As he spoke, Zhang Chong glanced at Feng Chen beside him.

Feng Chen understood, took out a folded newspaper from the briefcase he was carrying, handed over the "Declaration" with "Wu Hao's notice" on it, and said softly: "Mr. Li, you take a look at this notice first." ”

Li Shiqun took the newspaper, looked down at the place where the notice was published, and immediately became emotional, staring at the newspaper with his eyes, and carefully read the notice.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ......yes, the pretence is good, very much like Comrade Wu Hao's tone, even I was almost deceived, I'm afraid this is the handiwork of Director General Zhang."

Li Shiqun laughed, threw the copy of "Declaration" in his hand on the ground and said.

"Which bastard dares to come here to interrogate a Communist Party criminal privately?!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise and angry scolding from outside the cell, which was very harsh.
