Li Yixin thought for a while and replied: "Judging from my judgment, it may have a little impact, but it is not a big problem. ”

Lao Hou obviously didn't believe Li Yixin's words, and continued to ask: "Is it?" You must know that Gao Hongcheng is the deputy director of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department who was promoted by you, and once he is confirmed to be an underground party member of our organization, will the Japanese not be suspicious of you? Wouldn't those people in Wang's puppet government who are dissatisfied with you take the opportunity to fall in stone for you? I think you have to carefully analyze the pros and cons of these possible situations and prepare in advance, and you can't be blindly confident! ”

Li Yixin smiled, spread his hands and explained: "Gao Hongcheng is the deputy director of our Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department, and it is indeed that I was promoted recently. Everyone knows about these things, and the Japanese know about them. But what do you think Gao Hongcheng can have to do with me? I don't think so. Because I promoted him to deputy director? Many people know that it is Ma Zhixin, a minion who accepted Wen Mian, who conveyed the meaning, you say that I am the director of the Material Control Investigation Committee who has just taken office, how can I not resist Wen Mian, the provincial chairman, right? Even if I'm a celebrity in the eyes of the Japanese, I can't do it. The Japanese are not stupid, as long as they investigate, they will understand the inside story. You see, although I promoted Comrade Gao Hongcheng to be the deputy director, I also said that Gao Hongcheng can only be responsible at the checkpoint in the west of the city. In other words, I made an attitude to the outside world, that is, although I was under pressure and had to promote Gao Hongcheng, I also had my own way of dealing with it, pressing Gao Hongcheng to the checkpoint in the west of the city and not moving, and not giving Deputy Director Gao Hongcheng real power. ”

Lao Hou retorted quietly: "So if the Japanese ask why you sent Gao Hongcheng to the train station for temporary replacement after Qu Zhonghan fell ill today, how should you deal with it?" ”

Li Yixin continued to explain: "This is very easy to explain. Gao Hongcheng was not my Li Yixin's person in the first place, and the checkpoint at the train station was originally in charge of Ma Zhixin's henchman Qu Zhonghan, since Qu Zhonghan couldn't go to work because of a violent illness, it was very normal for me to send Gao Hongcheng to the train station. The checkpoint in the west of the city is the main channel for the outflow of materials from Stone City, and it can be said that I sent one of my henchmen, Wu Zhihai, to replace Gao Hongcheng. Another key point is that when Gao Hongcheng came to the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department, he also followed Ma Zhixin's path instead of mine. Even if I accepted a bribe from Gao Hongcheng at the beginning, it was a normal thing. I can interpret it as agreeing to Gao Hongcheng's entry into the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department in order to give Ma Zhixin or Ma Zhixin's gentle face. At the beginning, the party organization allowed Gao Hongcheng to enter the anti-smuggling investigation department, which was very wise and correct, and it had a bit of a precautionary taste, but now this kind of thing is happening so that the Japanese will not suspect me. So even if the Japanese were to be sure that Gao Hongcheng was a member of the underground Communist Party, they would not think that I was in this capacity. ”

Seeing that Li Yixin was right, Lao Hou also nodded, admitting that Li Yixin's words still made sense, at least if the Japanese started to investigate, it would really not involve Li Yixin, but might involve Ma Zhixin, a gentle lackey. That was the best outcome at the time.

As long as there is a deviation in the direction of the Japanese investigation, then the possibility that Lao Hou thinks that Li Yixin is suspected by the Japanese will be greatly reduced. Even if it has a little impact on Li Yixin, it is estimated that the problem is not too big, it is no wonder that Li Yixin will analyze all the factors to him very calmly, and it is no wonder that Li Yixin is so confident.

However, Lao Hou still attaches great importance to the role played by Li Yixin in Stone Town, not only him, but even Minister Pan and even the leaders of the Southern Bureau are very satisfied with the work of this latent comrade codenamed 'Owl' in Stone Town.

And this means that Li Yixin can't have any problems, even if he is the slightest suspicion from the Japanese, once such suspicion appears, Li Yixin's role in Stone Town will be greatly affected. Higher-ups absolutely do not want to see such a situation happen.

Therefore, no matter how confident Li Yixin was just now and analyzed so thoroughly, Lao Hou still felt a little unreliable in his heart, although he recognized Li Yixin's analysis just now, but still reminded Li Yixin with concern: "What you just analyzed is still reasonable. But you should know that you and your group have played a great role in Stone Town, even far more than the role of the underground party organization in Stone Town, not to mention that you still have such an identity in the Central Union, and you can still play an important role in the Central Union in the future. So I think you should still be careful not to let the Japanese or other traitors like Wen Mian become suspicious of you. You need to be absolutely sure of that. ”

"I understand this, I can only see the trick when the time comes. You must know that the basis and premise of our discussion of this issue is that Comrade Gao Hongcheng exposes his identity. And that's not entirely certain right now. I'll find a way to find out what's going on in the train station today and see which way the wind is blowing. Li Yixin nodded and said.

Lao Hou suddenly thought that Li Yixin now has an identity as a central commander, assuming that Gao Hongcheng's identity is exposed, can he use this thing that is obviously bad for the organization to let Li Yixin get some benefits from it? For example, after Gao Hongcheng evacuated, Li Yixin was immediately asked to disclose the news to the Central Union, so that the Central Committee trusted Li Yixin even more. Such an operation may be an alternative way to turn a bad thing into a good thing.

Assuming that Deputy Director Ye of the Central Unification was in the purpose of dealing with the Communist Party and disclosed this news to the Japanese in a way, and Gao Hongcheng had already evacuated Stone Town at that time, then this would allow Li Yixin to win greater trust in the Central Unification.

Because the main task of the Central Unification is to deal with the Communist Party, whether it is Deputy Director Ye or Deputy Director Xu, they are completely consistent on this point.

So Lao Hou confided this consideration that had just come to mind to Li Yixin and Pan, and he wanted to hear what kind of attitude he had towards this idea.

Li Yixin didn't expect such an idea to pop up in Lao Hou's mind in just a few hours, but he pondered for a while before nodding and saying, "Lao Hou, your idea is feasible." If the Central Unification Department questioned why I knew that Gao Hongcheng was an underground party, I could completely excuse the conclusion reached by a private investigation. It's just that this is a little unfavorable to Comrade Gao Hongcheng's safety, and he must wait until Comrade Gao Hongcheng leaves Stone Town before he can operate, and the time in between is very critical! ”
