805 [Chairman's Wrath]
In the mid-30s, the number of newspapers and journalists in China was the largest in Shanghai, followed by the capital Nanjing.
There was an assassination case at Nanjing Railway Station, and the target of the assassination was Zhou Hexuan, and countless reporters immediately flocked to him. As a result, they found nothing, and Zhou Hexuan and his entourage had already taken the train to Shanghai. The assassin was first taken to the police station at the train station, and then taken away by the Kuomintang agents who arrived.
Journalists can only interview passers-by and station employees -
"Hello, I'm Bai Rui, a reporter from the Jinling News Agency, did Mr. Zhou Hexuan be assassinated at the train station this morning?"
"There's such a thing."
"Did you see the process?"
"There were a lot of people, and I didn't see it clearly. Only one gunshot was heard, and everyone ran away in fright, and then they saw a sick ghost being held down by Mr. Zhou's entourage. ”
"Tuberculosis?"
"Yes, the Assassin is a sick man, and he's coughing all the time."
"What was Mr. Zhou's reaction at that time?"
"Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, and after handing over the assassin to the police, he checked his ticket and entered the platform as usual, and took the train to Shanghai."
"Didn't he seem flustered?"
"No, Mr. Zhou was very calm, and asked the police to call a doctor for the assassin."
In the afternoon of the same day, the "Jinling Evening News" published relevant news, with the title "Zhou Hexuan's assassination is not chaotic, and the great writer shows his humanitarian concern": "It is reported that at about 9 o'clock this morning, Mr. Zhou Hexuan, an international university scholar, was assassinated at Nanjing Railway Station. The killer was a middle-aged man about 35 years old, who shot at Mr. Zhou at close range, but was stopped by Mr. Zhou's entourage, and the bullet flew past Mr. Zhou's scalp, and the situation was dangerous. Subsequently, the police found four more bombs on the spot from the briefcase that the killer was carrying...... Mr. Zhou was assassinated by the Beiyang warlord Chu Yupu in Tianjin and Japanese militarists in London because of his passionate patriotic remarks. In the face of this assassination, Mr. Zhou was not afraid of danger and his face was impermanent, and he went to Shanghai according to the established itinerary, and when he left, he also told the police to call a doctor for the killer, because the killer had been coughing during the assassination......"
"Niang Xipi!"
In Chang Kaishen's attendant room, Lao Jiang slapped the table and scolded when he got the news: "The capital of the country, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there can still be an assassination incident, immediately call Dai Li and Xu Enzeng to me!" ”
Wang Yaqiao's Axe Gang specially set up a "Nanjing Action Group" and planned to assassinate Chang Kaishen five times before and after. It wasn't until he accidentally hit the passenger car and put Wang Zhaoming in the hospital for half a year that Lao Jiang finally made up his mind to eradicate Wang Yaqiao to the death.
The central government not only has to crack down on the Axe Gang, but also attaches more importance to the security and order of the capital, and the number of spies in Nanjing has increased wildly in recent years.
Lao Jiang thought that he had turned Nanjing into an iron barrel, but under his nose, another public assassination incident occurred. This time the killer assassinated Zhou Hexuan, so who should it be next time? It is very likely that it is his old Jiang himself!
Xu Enzeng and Mao Renfeng came to meet him quickly, and waited anxiously on the side.
"Where's Dai Yunong?" Chang Kaishen asked dissatisfied.
Mao Renfeng immediately saluted: "Report to the commission, Director Dai is currently on a mission in Shanghai!" ”
Chang Kaishen didn't know Mao Renfeng, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Mao Renfeng found that the opportunity to show his face had come, and said excitedly: "The lowly Mao Renfeng is Director Dai's personal secretary. Before Director Dai left, he already knew that the Japanese were going to attack Mr. Zhou, and he was solely responsible for this matter! ”
"Did the Japanese do it?" Chang Kaishen was not surprised.
Mao Renfeng replied: "The identity of the assassin has been ascertained, and it is Zhang Wanteng, the deputy chief of the Jiangning County Land Administration Section. In the 18th year of the Republic of China, he served as a civil servant in the Shanghai Municipal Government, resigned due to illness and recuperated for a year, and entered the Jiangning County Government after passing the civil service examination. His wife and children are all in Nanjing, and they have been controlled by the secret service, and we suspect that Zhang Wanteng is a spy of the Japanese! ”
"The assassin is the deputy chief of the Jiangning County Civil Affairs Section?" Chang Kaishen stood up suddenly, even more surprised than when he heard about Zhou Hexuan's assassination.
Jiangning County is known as "the first county in the world", due to the expansion of Nanjing's urban area year by year, most of the areas under the jurisdiction of Jiangning County have coincided with the main city of Nanjing. The deputy director of the Land Administration Bureau of the first county of the Republic of China was a spy of the Japanese, and he personally assassinated Zhou Hexuan, which sounds like a fantasy.
Chang Kaishen's first reaction was: The Japanese are crazy!
Even if Zhang Wanteng has no background and his political future is not optimistic, he is at least the deputy of land administration in the first county of the Republic of China. Such a high-end spy should be fully protected, and even spare no effort to help him be promoted, maybe one day he may be transferred to Nanjing as an official.
Such a spy is actually used as a killer, and the Japanese are not panicked?
Chang Kaishen's second reaction was: Angry!
Although Jiangning County is not under the control of the Nanjing Municipal Government, a large part of its jurisdiction overlaps with Nanjing City, and the Japanese spies actually became "big officials" in the capital, and Chang Kaishen has a sense of shame and fear that he has been fooled.
"Check, check it out for me!"
Chang Kaishen was furious and ordered Xu Enzeng: "All the public servants in Jiangning County will be thoroughly investigated by me." Including those who selected civil servants by examination that year, all of them must be severely punished, and those who promoted the killer to the official position must be expelled from the party! ”
This is too much to implement, Xu Enzeng sweated in his vest, and said: "Yes, commission, start investigating immediately!" ”
Chang Kaishen questioned Mao Renfeng again: "Dai Li asked you to be responsible for protecting Zhou Mingcheng, how did you make this picture?" ”
Mao Renfeng said bitterly: "All suspicious targets in Nanjing City have been closely monitored by me, how did I think that the killer turned out to be the deputy section chief of Jiangning County?" It is not good to do things in a humble position, please also appoint a seat to punish you! ”
"Did the interrogation come out of anything?" Chang Kaishen asked.
Mao Renfeng replied: "The killer suffers from a severe cold, has a fever and is delirious, and is currently in a coma. Before he fainted, he underwent a preliminary interrogation at the station police station. He was a 'main peace faction' within the Kuomintang and believed that "uniting with Japan to suppress bandits" was the way to rejuvenate the country, and Zhou Hexuan's anti-Japanese speeches for several days seriously threatened the future of the country. Therefore, he was so indignant that he spontaneously went to the station to assassinate Zhou Hexuan as a patriotic party member. ”
Chang Kaishen sneered: "The Japanese will put aside their involvement and actually splash dirty water on the head of the party-state." ”
Mao Renfeng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, when the killer's illness is cured, the lowly position will be strictly interrogated immediately, and his accomplices will definitely be found!" ”
"Beware of him killing himself!" Chang Kaishen said sharply.
"Humble duty, remember!" Mao Ren Feng was saluting, his heart was hot, he finally registered with Lao Jiang.
