"Such a coincidence? Could it be that Zhou Fohai made a trick in order to protect himself? He should investigate privately, and tell General Ono, wouldn't he give someone a handle? ”

"What you see is only one side of the matter, he is a civil official, Shao Dongshu is his cronies, the director of the office, and the people around him are under the jurisdiction of Shao Dongshu on weekdays, so it is not easy to start, and, I suspect that if he says this, there is also in case something happens to Shao Dongshu, and General Ono testifies, he can ask for the reason for the relationship. Zhou Fohai also said that a few days ago he saw Wan Lilang who was going to Nanjing on a business trip and entrusted him to help investigate, but there was no news, so he asked General Ono for help. ”

Ni Xin thought for a while and replied: "Zhou Fohai's words can't be false, because it is easy to verify, so Shao Dongshu colluded with the military commander, he should have done it privately from the commander, and in order to get rid of the crime after the incident, he pushed it to the commander." ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao nodded, and said: "Then you can't be careless, you will send someone to the political security headquarters to verify this matter." ”

Ni Xin agreed and called Asano with a key, instructed him to go to the political security headquarters, and specially advised: "Explain to Chief Wan: It is General Kagesa's order." ”

After Asano left with one click, Ni Xin said again: "General, destroying the substation box and telephone communication, and cooperating with Zhang Chi to attack No. 76, proves that we still have internal problems, and this person's position is not too low, and the depth of the hiding is still above Liu Zezhi, don't forget that Liu Zezhi has entered the suspect circle several times, but his psychological quality is too good, and the military unification sacrificed his life to protect him, so that he has been at large for several years, but for the person who is still lurking in No. 76, there is no clue at all." ”

"Yes, when I think of this, I am like a man, Ni Sang, do you think it is possible that this mysterious person is also a military commander?"

"It is unlikely, and even unlikely, that it is also under the command of the Chongqing government, so the military commander has repeatedly gone to great lengths to arrange undercover agents to try to change the situation in which Liu Zezhi is fighting alone. I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I'll say something that will increase the morale of others: If it weren't for the excessive use of military commanders, it would be difficult to dig out Liu Zezhi, a traitor. If the military commander still has an undercover agent, there are many things, and someone cooperates, Liu Zezhi does not need to take risks. Does the general remember Liu Wu? It is Liu Zezhi's younger brother, I sent someone to investigate a few days ago, and learned that this person has never been to Chongqing, which means that he is likely to be Liu Zezhi's assistant for his own development. ”

"You have a point, if No. 76 still has an undercover agent of the military commander, he will not develop his younger brother who has no experience as an agent, and this person will share a lot of work, and there will be loopholes if there are actions, and we can't be ignorant. So is it possible that this person is from Yan'an? ”

"I also thought about this possibility, general, after Liu Zezhi was arrested, the military commander immediately got in touch with this person, this person cooperated with the military commander's actions, if it was Yan'an, how did Zhou Chengbin know about the existence of this person? Even if he knew that the use of this person was not something he could say, he had to report to the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, and the headquarters of the bureau would come forward to coordinate with Yan'an, how long would it take for these procedures to go down? Moreover, based on my understanding of the military command, it is very likely that the rescue of Liu Zezhi was Zhou Chengbin's unauthorized action without the permission of the bureau headquarters in advance. ”

Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao had no better way, so he had to say: "This matter is not urgent, let's pay attention to the investigation slowly." ”

Ni Xin replied: "Yes, before finding out this person, all actions must be kept secret, and his subordinates propose to restore the safe housing system that Director Li carried out during his lifetime, and this money cannot be saved." ”

"It's up to you to call these things."

Qian Mingqi returned to his life with the items he picked up, Ni Xin flipped through it and said: "Zhou Fohai doesn't pay much attention to things outside his body, he is known for being honest, but this Shao Dongshu has a lot of private savings, nothing else is clear, just these, it is equivalent to his salary for three or five years, right?" Where does an office director get so much money? ”

Liu Weiping called in and reported: "General, Director Ni, his subordinates interrogated Shao Dongshu, and he said that he didn't understand Japanese. ”

Kagesa was not interested in anything else, so he picked up the book "The Tale of Genji" and flipped through it, with a note with a few lines of Arabic numerals written in it.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao studied it for a long time before he said: "This book was published twenty or thirty years ago, and there are no new books on the market for a long time, where did Shao Dongshu get it?" Is it normal for a person who doesn't know Japanese to carry a book that he got twenty or thirty years ago with him? There are a lot of Chinese characters in the text, and it seems that people often read it, Ni Sang, you said that Shao Dongshu hid this book in the dark compartment like a treasure, what are you doing? ”

"The general is testing me, you are an expert in cryptography, I suspect that this is the password master used by Shao Dongshu to communicate with the military commander, where do you look?"

"It's possible."

Ni Xin picked up two ancient paintings and said: "I am a layman for cultural relics and calligraphy and paintings, are these two paintings worth anything?" ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is an expert, took it over and looked at it carefully, and replied: "This is Mr. Qingteng Xu Wei's freehand ink painting of flowers and birds, if it is a genuine work - Ni Sang, you can buy the apartment you live in, plus all the furnishings in the apartment." ”

Ni Xin was taken aback: "I know Xu Wei, but I didn't expect it to be so valuable!" I don't look like a painting, where did Shao Dongshu get it? ”

"A layman, Xu Wei's painting is good between what seems to be and what is not, as for where he got it, this needs to ask him, Ni Sang, try Shao Dongshu again immediately! This time it's arranged in the torture room, I want to see if his bones are harder than Liu Zezhi! ”

At this time, Asano called and reported: "General, Director Ni, Director Wan of the Political Newspaper Headquarters said that Vice Chairman Zhou asked him to investigate Shao Dongshu on his behalf, and it was indeed true, it was on the 21st of this month, when he was on business in Nanjing. When Director Wan heard that I had come on the orders of General Yingzuo, he was very cooperative, and he also wrote a written certificate and asked me to take it back. ”

Ni Xin replied: "Thank you Director Wan for me, you can come back with the certificate." ”

Putting down the phone, Ni Xin ordered Liu Weiping to take people to arrange the torture room, interrogated Shao Dongshu half an hour later, and said to Ying Zuo Zhenzhao: "Director Wan's words are still credible, on the 24th, Zhang Chi and other military commanders and bandits attacked No. 76 to save people, so long before that, Vice Chairman Zhou on the 21st had doubts about Shao Dongshu, general, before the interrogation, can you call General Ono and ask him in detail why he has doubts about Shao Dongshu, one of his cronies, Zhou Chenghai?" ”

"This is the right thing to do, I'll call General Ono."

Zheng Min came to Ni Xin and reported excitedly: "Director Ni, I really obeyed you, Xie Wei really had reservations, Kawasaki-kun and I followed your instructions and put him on the execution ground, who knew that this person looked fierce and stubborn before, but since he confessed, he has become greedy for life and afraid of death, when the gendarme's gun was aimed at him, he completely collapsed, cried bitterly, urinated incontinence, and cried and shouted that he still had important information. I asked him to tell me, but he wouldn't, and said he had to talk to you. If I don't agree, he's still tied up on the execution ground. ”

Ni Xin sighed and said regretfully: "This person is ruined...... General, I'll go to the execution ground and have a look. ”

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the midsummer sun shrouded the execution ground, but Xie Wei didn't feel a trace of warmth, Ni Xin walked up to him and asked, "I heard that you have something to say to me?" ”

Seeing Ni Xin, Xie Wei's dead-like face finally had some vitality, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Director Ni, don't kill me, please, spare my life." ”

Ni Xin waved his hand and ordered the others to take a few steps back, and replied coldly: "Then it depends on whether the information you provide is valuable." ”

"Director Ni, I'm not not saying it, it's all at this time, what am I still doing to hide? Before coming to Shanghai, Mao Renfeng summoned me and Lao Ai, who was Ai Gaowen, who led the team, and said that in addition to the task on the surface, there was also a secret mission: ordered us to monitor Zhou Chengbin and Zhang Chi, and directly contacted the inspection department of the bureau headquarters if we found something, and also gave us a spare radio station, and when we started the radio station, we needed to publish a revelation in the "declaration". ”

Ni Xin was silent, silent fear came to his face, Xie Wei looked at Ni Xin with blank eyes, waiting for the sentence of this person who held the power of life and death to pronounce on him.

Ni Xin sneered: "This is what you call important intelligence? Do you think that's valuable to me? ”

"But that's all I know, Director Ni, please, don't kill me......" Xie Wei cried again, fate was too cruel for him.

Ni Xin hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and called Zheng Min and ordered: "Take him off and take him back to his cell...... Forget it, escort him to the infirmary and treat him. ”

Zheng Min pretended to hesitate. said: "Director Ni, the execution of him is the order of General Yingzuo......"

"General, I'll go and say, carry out the order!" With that, Ni Xin turned around and left.

Ni Xin came to the torture room, Asano, who had returned from the political security headquarters, sat in the position of the interrogation assistant with one click, and Kagezo Zhenzhao was also present, and said to Ni Xin: "General Ono asked Zhou Fohai, Zhou Fohai said that in the past three or four months, Shao Dongshu has been very interested in some documents that have nothing to do with him, or are outside the scope of his authority, and often inquire about others, and some people report to Zhou Fohai that Shao Dongshu's expenses have suddenly increased, but there is no source that can be put on the table. ”

Ni Xin was a little puzzled: "The suspect stole the axe, these are not conclusive evidence, right?" ”

"Yes, so Zhou Fohai quietly investigated secretly, but the investigation was fruitless, and he entrusted the political security headquarters that was close to him to help."

Ni Xin was still skeptical, and said: "General, maybe everything will be understood after the interrogation." Come on, bring Shao Dongshu up! ”

Four gendarmes escorted Shao Dongshu to the torture room, Shao Dongshu couldn't help but shudder, and asked calmly: "General Yingzuo, Director Ni, what are you doing here?" I've said what I need to say, I'm just doing what I'm told. ”

Ni Xin sneered slightly, didn't answer, and ordered the thugs: "Come on, tie him to the torture rack, enlighten this gentleman, and let him know what kind of place this is!" ”、

The two thugs responded loudly, ignoring Shao Dongshu's struggle, skillfully dragged him up and tied him to the torture rack, and picked up a one-meter-long steel whip, and whipped it over without a head!

Shao Dongshu's protest soon wailed: "Director Ni, you can't do this!" General, General Kagesa, you can't just watch him abuse his power...... Don't fight, Director Ni, you can spare me, don't fight......"
