Tan Jingting pressed Zhu Hongda step by step, leaving Zhu Hongda speechless.

"Zhu Hongda, the harm you have caused to the party-state is really too much to mention." Tan Jingting glanced at Zhu Hongda with contempt.

Zhu Hongda looked at Tan Jingting's deep eyes, and seemed to feel a murderous aura enveloping his body, he quickly shifted his gaze, looked at Pang Tianxi, and tried his best to defend himself: "No, I didn't set this fire, I didn't, I was at home when it caught fire that day, and I wasn't in the station at all." I threw that flask away a long time ago, how could it be in a dungeon? I've been missing that lighter for many days, so how could it be at the scene of the crime? Minister Pang, someone is trying to harm me, please be aware of everything and make decisions for me. “

Zhu Hongda walked up to Pang Tianxi from behind his desk and begged him bitterly.

Tan Jingting sneered: "I asked the guard who called your house, and he said that the call was answered by your wife, so there is no way to prove that you were at home at the time, and the wine bottle and lighter are your beloved things, and you usually never leave your body, why do you say that your beloved things have been thrown away a long time ago, and they are gone, this excuse of Stationmaster Zhu is unconvincing!" What's more, you still have Ah Qiang's right-hand man to help, so in the name of natural disasters, removing Lu Yulin, a thorn in your eye, is the best excuse for you. Stationmaster Zhu, you can still live if you do evil in the sky, but you can't live if you do evil in yourself. “

"Why do I have to go so hard to kill Lu Yulin, he will be shot sooner or later, wouldn't it be justified to change his name?" Zhu Hongda cross-examined Tan Jingting.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to execute Lu Yulin for a while, because Lu Yulin has confessed a lot of Communist Party secrets under my inspiration, and of course it is also involved in the theft of Stationmaster Zhu's top-secret information. You just want to hide this to kill Lu Yulin, right? Tan Jingting handed Lu Yulin's confession to Zhu Hongda.

Zhu Hongda looked at Lu Yulin's confession, and cold sweat flowed: "No, no, no, Lu Yulin has no confession at all, this is fabricated, I asked him, he will not admit to stealing that top-secret information." “

In a hurry, Zhu Hongda said that he had leaked his mouth.

"So, your top-secret information was really stolen? So you ran into the torture room alone and extorted a confession from Lu Yulin? Pang Tianxi glared at Zhu Hongda angrily, which made people shudder.

Zhu Hongda knelt down with a plop and wailed: "Minister Pang, I am really wronged, I have not betrayed the party-state." “

"Okay, Zhu Hongda, if you have any grievances, go to prison and write them, come on, take him away." Pang Tianxi waved his hand at the soldier.

Zhu Hongda sat on the ground, and several soldiers wanted to drag Zhu Hongda.

"Minister Pang, for the sake of you and my colleagues, can you let me see my wife and children again?" Zhu Hongda looked at Pang Tianxi in despair.

"Okay. Go, bring Zhu Hongda's wife and children here. ”

It didn't take long for Wang and Zong'er to be taken to Zhu Hongda's office, and Wang saw that there were many soldiers with guns standing at the door, and there was a bad omen in his heart.

"Hongda, what's wrong?" Wang Shi saw Zhu Hongda drooping his head, with a look of despair: "What's the matter?" Hongda, don't scare me. “

"Zong'er, damn it, I'm planted, I'm Zhu Hongda completely finished. It is only today that I understand who is the most affectionate and righteous to me in this world, but unfortunately, I understood it too late, everything is irreparable, I Zhu Hongda has no eyes, I have lost you and Zong'er, don't resent me. You take Zong'er back to your hometown. ”

Wang Shi looked at Zhu Hongda with tears in his eyes: "Hongda, I finally heard your words with a conscience, and I will be blind even if I die." ”

"You let Zong'er stay in his hometown to farm fields, learn a craft, and have food and clothing, and marry a girl who is honest and have children in the future, don't be like me, this mountain looks at that mountain high, greed is too great, climb high, fall heavily, or live in peace."

With tears in his eyes, Wang nodded again and again.

Zhu Hongda squatted down and hugged Zong'er: "Zong'er, listen to your mother's words and be a responsible person, do you understand?" ”

Zong'er nodded as if he didn't understand.

"It's almost time, Zhu Hongda, we can go." Pang Tianxi raised his hand and looked at his watch, urging impatiently.

"Can you not scare my child?" Zhu Hongda pleaded.

"It's really troublesome, come on, take the mother and son out first."

Several soldiers took Wang's mother and son out of the office.

Zhu Hongda returned to his seat, and suddenly he took out a pistol from the drawer of his desk, aimed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger.

With a "bang", Zhu Hongda fell on the desk.

Pang Tianxi was frightened by this sudden move, he walked to Zhu Hongda's side, looked at his unwilling eyes, and sighed: "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" ”

Tan Jingting was also shocked by this gunshot, he was disdainful of Zhu Hongda's tail wagging and begging for mercy just now, but he didn't expect that Zhu Hongda would commit suicide with a gun in a blink of an eye, and he could be regarded as a hard death.

Pang Tianxi turned to face Tan Jingting: "Director Tan, in view of Zhu Hongda's suicide in fear of crime, you temporarily replace him as the stationmaster of the Shanghai Station of the Secret Bureau, and the letter of appointment will arrive later." ”

"Thanks to Minister Pang for his cultivation, Jing Tingding will live up to the trust of the party-state."

Tan Jingting straightened up and gave a military salute to Pang Tianxi. Pang Tianxi nodded to Tan Jingting with high hopes.

The news that Xu Mingfeng replaced Zhu Hongda in the first position of the Secret Bureau was transmitted to the base area in northern Jiangsu through the airwaves.

Political Commissar Huang came to the field hospital with the telegram and excitedly told Lu Yulin the news.

"Yulin, as you expected, Tan Jingting finally eliminated Zhu Hongda, Zhu Hongda committed suicide on the spot, and Tan Jingting became the leader of the Secret Bureau. This is the news that Ming Feng just came. Political Commissar Huang handed the message to Yulin.

Yu Lin took the telegram, read it, and was overjoyed: "Zhu Hongda is eliminated, and Brother Tan is on the throne, which is definitely beneficial to Mingfeng to complete the task, and the next thing is to race against time to rescue our comrades in prison as soon as possible, and intercept the materials that Lao Jiang wants to transport out of Shanghai." ”

"Well, you're right, I've already arranged for my comrades to pick it up, and I should have an eyebrow soon."

"I really want to go back to Shanghai and do a big job with Mingfeng and Brother Tan." Lu Yulin's eyes showed a look of yearning.

"What, Yulin, you want to go back to Shanghai just a few days after you left Shanghai? Don't worry, when you get better, you will have a place to play. You can recuperate here in peace. ”

After Political Commissar Huang left the field hospital, Lu Yulin took out the wedding photo of him and Shuxian from the bedside table next to the bed, and tears flashed: "Shuxian, Zhu Hongda is dead, and your revenge is finally avenged." ”

Since Tan Jingting became the head of the Shanghai Station of the Secret Bureau, he revoked the arrest warrant for Xu Mingfeng, and several other directors felt a little puzzled.

Director of Operations Sun Fugui was the first person to question Tan Jingting: "Stationmaster Tan, why did you revoke the arrest warrant for the number one suspect of the Shanghai underground party?" ”

"I got a tip-off that Xu Mingfeng had already left Shanghai and went to northern Jiangsu, and we were still here to arrest a person who had already gone away, what is the point? We do not need to make such a bluff now, but we should concentrate our manpower and material resources and do a good job of responding and supporting the front-line troops. Commander Tang recently held several mobilization meetings, asking the Secrecy Bureau to assist the relevant departments in transporting important materials to Taiwan, fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, leaving nothing for the Communist Party, and also to intensify the destruction of all important facilities in Shanghai, so as to arouse the common indignation of foreign businessmen and let foreign forces join the anti-communist alliance in order to seek the support of the international community. Therefore, we don't have time to catch Xu Mingfeng now. Director Sun, are you satisfied with my explanation? Tan Jingting glanced at Sun Fugui.

"Stationmaster Tan is far-sighted and strategic, and we are the most general." Sun Fugui was busy slapping his horse.

"Okay, Director Sun, you go get busy first, I'll call you if there's something." Tan Jingting is very disdainful of this kind of flattery.

Sun Fugui nodded and walked out.

Ah Long came in, and Tan Jingting had been promoted to the position of director of intelligence. He is now Tan Jingting's confidant, and many confidential things are handed over to Ah Long to complete.

"Stationmaster, are you looking for me?"

Tan Jingting motioned to Ah Long and closed the door. Aaron quickly locked the door of the room.

"Aaron, you go to Tilanqiao Prison once and refer all the prisoners on this list to our Secret Bureau." Tan Jingting handed Ah Long the list that Xu Mingfeng handed him.

"Why did you want to be transferred to our Secret Bureau?" Ah Long looked at Tan Jingting suspiciously.

Tan Jingting looked up at Ah Long: "Some cases involve a wide range of cases and need to be retried. ”

Ah Long saw from Tan Jingting's eyes that Tan Jingting blamed himself for being too talkative: "Okay, I'll do it right away." ”

Ah Long took the list from Tan Jingting's hand, and there were several pages of names densely written on it, and there were probably hundreds of people.

"So much?" Ah Long looked at Tan Jingting suspiciously: "All of them were transferred to our Secret Bureau, and our dungeon can't hold so much?" ”

"Isn't there a temporary detention center in Chuanshajiao County that is subordinate to the Secrecy Bureau? So you get all these people there. Be careful, you know about this, don't tell anyone half a word. Tan Jingting looked at Ah Long with a stern expression.

"I understand, but, mentioning so many people at once, will that prison warden Wang Mazi hinder it?" Aaron asked worriedly.

"Just tell him that it is a matter of Shanghai's defense and deployment secrets, and he has no right to intervene." Tan Jingting showed his might, after all, in terms of rank and rank, he was much higher than Wang Mazi.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Ah Long hurriedly left Tan Jingting's office. Tan Jingting pondered what to do if this Wang Mazi refused to let go? The list Xu Mingfeng gave him was full of political prisoners, some veteran Communist Party members and radicals, as well as some patriotic teachers, students, and cultural celebrities, who were now executed every day, so they had to be rescued in a race against time.

Not long after, the phone in Tan Jingting's office rang, Tan Jingting picked up the phone, and it was Ah Long calling.

"Stationmaster, Wang Mazi said that there are already twelve people on the list who have been executed, and the rest are also on the list of executions, so he said that it cannot be handed over to you."
