Chapter 11 Screening

The temporarily established "New Recruits Screening Office" is headed by Ni Xin, and the members are Liu Zezhi and Zhao Jingdong, the leader of the second action group. Zhao Jingdong, who was born in the Jianghu Gang, did not hide his iron-blooded methods: "What to screen? These are all wall grasses that fall with the wind and are unreliable. In my opinion, the high-ranking ones are shot after squeezing out some oil and water; The low-level ones can stay and do miscellaneous work or blow away. Liu Zezhi said in his heart, this Zhao Jingdong is a supporter of the military commander's policy of "only killing by mistake and not misplaced".

Ni Xin persuaded: "You can't say that, these people are all professional agents we urgently need, if you sincerely participate in the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere, you will be colleagues who will live together day and night in the future, and we must strive not to indulge in vain." ”

Liu Zezhi doesn't seem to care much about these things, on the one hand, he is very willing to be a good gentleman and not embarrass anyone, on the other hand, he rarely insists on his own opinions, and takes the initiative to take on all the logistics, archives, documents and other auxiliary work. Li Shiqun seems to have completely let go of the screening work, and he has not seen anyone all day long. A week passed, and the screened personnel were divided into two parts, Zhao Jingdong was responsible for the six people who were suspected of further screening, and Ni Xin was responsible for arranging the remaining fifteen people. On this day, Liu Zezhi first went to the interrogation room to participate in the interrogation work presided over by Zhao Jingdong, but he did not expect that these six people would be tortured less than a day after they were handed over to Zhao Jingdong. Flesh and blood flew in the interrogation room, and after watching it for a while, Liu Zezhi felt very uncomfortable in his stomach, and accosted: "Team Leader Zhao, it's too hard, I still have two reports to Director Li to draft, go first." ”

Coming to the screening office, Ni Xin smiled and said, "I was about to send someone to find you, don't be busy arranging the dormitories for these fifteen people." I met with Director Li today, and the director explained that these 15 people still need to be further screened. ”

"It's not that I'm talking weird things behind my back, and there's no end? We can't see anyone when the director is busy, and I heard that the Japanese gendarmerie and special service group stationed at No. 76 will also be stationed in the next two days, which is obviously to pick peaches and divide power, and the director is not yet staring at the bureau. Haven't we all gone through these fifteen people several times? Those who are suspicious are handed over to Lao Zhao. What's wrong with it? ”

Ni Xin smiled: "What is the power of peach picking?" You can say this in front of me, but don't go out and talk nonsense all over the world. You don't know yet, do you? Today, Director Li took the time to meet with me, saying that according to reliable information, there are two spies sent by the Chongqing Military Commander in this group of people......"

"How did Director Li know...... Oh, I see, Chongqing has our undercover agents, right? ”

"Clever, I'll just say, you do logistics, you're talented."

"Come on, you, let me live two days of leisure. So what do we do next? Director Li said that if something happens to the personnel who will be retained after screening, the three of us will be jointly and severally responsible, so let's not sing "Dou E's Injustice". I think...... These two spies may be among the six people who are suspected. ”

"This possibility is very high, but it can't be taken lightly, before the Chongqing Military Command Shanghai Station was wiped out, Dai Li will not be so resigned, according to intelligence, the two spies sent this time were personally arranged and selected by Mao Renfeng, careless, let's go through the sieve again. The director meant that the six suspects would all be shot, and the fifteen people left behind would be screened for a second time. ”

Liu Zezhi was taken aback: "All six people were killed?" It's also too ...... Well, I won't talk about it. ”

"You, that's how your mother-in-law is, you've been doing logistics for too long, and it's good to get used to more front-line practice in the future."

"That's right, let's not talk about it now, I used to be an English secretary in Chongqing who ran errands. I have to go back first, my younger brother Liu Wu, I was arranged by me to be a driver in our team, and I have to settle down on the first day of work. Also, I want to explain to the people below that the dormitories, uniforms, office equipment, and so on of these fifteen people have been postponed, and the people who have been arranged in advance have gone to see Lord Yama again, and it is easy to invite the unjust ghosts. ”

Ni Xin smiled bitterly: "It's not serious, you can come back to work when you go, don't take this opportunity to find you again." ”

Back in Corey, Liu Zezhi explained a few words to his subordinates and sent someone to the convoy to settle Liu Wu. Closing the door to the section chief's room, he needed to sort out his thoughts. Among the new recruits are their own people sent by Chongqing! This shouldn't be a scam to examine yourself, six lives, the price is too great, but even so, you can't take it lightly. Liu Zezhi was worried and anxious, but also a little surprised. It's been half a year, surrounded by enemies, circling around, dancing with the devil, and its hardships are indescribable. It would be nice to have your own comrades by your side. Why does Chongqing seem to have forgotten itself? Mao Renfeng didn't know that he was in the middle of this screening work, why didn't he order him to try to contact and cover? It is not surprising that Chongqing has spies on the 76th. Does Ni Xin know who this spy is? Is it possible to dig up this spy? Without an order from Chongqing, what should I do? Is it to continue to be silent? Or are you waiting for an opportunity? Li Shiqun has been elusive in the past two days and rarely shows up, what is he busy with? The Japanese changed the way of remote control in the past and directly reached out to No. 76, what is more important to Li Shiqun than this? The Japanese are stationed directly in No. 76, how will the situation develop? Walking on the tip of the knife and arranging his brother Liu Wu into the No. 76 team, will he be implicated one day? But he couldn't help but bury such a move in advance. It's been half a year, he has achieved nothing, and when will he be silent with a sea of blood and hatred?

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Ze accompanied Ni Xin to continue the interrogation, and when he interrogated a person named You Hanbo, a very common sentence caught Liu Zezhi's attention: "Li Minghua and I were sent to Shaanxi three months ago, and we didn't want to go, so we left our jobs together and came to Shanghai, I wanted to do some small business, but I didn't expect our boss to think that we were abandoning our duties......

Liu Zezhi asked casually: "Li Minghua? Without this person? ”

Ni Xin coughed: "You Hanbo, talk about your own business." ”

Liu Zezhi is very strange, You Hanbo, the original military rank is only captain, and the position is a very ordinary action instructor, sent to Shaanxi, why did he abscond? Don't they know that during the war years, if they want to leave the military command, they will violate the family law and will lose their heads? Who is Li Minghua? Where did this name seem to have been heard, why did Ni Xin keep it secretive? You Hanbo continued: "Sending us and others to Shaanxi separately is completely revenge from my boss, and I have a personal grudge with him. Because Li ...... Well, I knew about the one-month special training class, so we wanted to come to Shanghai with a greeting to join Director Li. In the past, when I was teaching in the Linfen training class, Director Li was our boss. Secretary Ni, I am sincerely willing to build the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle and save the country. Can I meet Director Li? Director Li and I are also old acquaintances. ”

The more Liu Zezhi listened, the more he felt that there was a mystery inside, a one-month special training class? What do you mean? What can a faculty member know? With him, also a teacher? There won't be two action instructors in a month-long training course, right? We brought the meeting gift, that is, the meeting gift should be brought by Li Minghua, what kind of things can get into Li Shiqun's eyes? Shaanxi? Shanghai? It's completely out of touch. If you go to Shaanxi alone, where do the others go? Li Minghua, where did you hear of this name? At this moment, Liu Zezhi was full of a sense of powerlessness, if he could take the initiative to contact Chongqing, even if he indirectly got in touch with the underground agents of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, he would not be in a fog and didn't know what to do.

Ni Xin asked a few more words, but You Hanbo didn't say anything again, and vigorously mentioned the old relationship with Li Shiqun. Liu Zezhi decided to give him a try. He interjected with a smile: "Mr. You, let's talk for a few words, Director Li is too busy, I don't think I have time to see you, have you seen me in the military command before?" ”

You Hanbo was sick and rushed to the doctor, in this situation, he couldn't ask for a relationship with the person responsible for screening himself: "Section Chief Liu, I have always looked at you familiarly, you were also a military commander before?" ”

"Yes, I graduated from the Qingpu training class and served in the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau before coming to Shanghai."

You Hanbo thought about it and tried his best to find someone who had something to do with Liu Zezhi: "Qingpu training class? I didn't teach there, but we have a colleague who taught you, and he was a telecommunications teacher, and he ...... Lee."

Ni Xin knocked on the table: "Don't talk nonsense, talk about your own business." ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration, Liu Zezhi remembered, Li Minghua, the telecommunications instructor of the Linfen training class, has a perverse personality and has very poor popularity, but he is a telecommunications wizard, and he was detained on suspicion of molesting female students. The telecommunications teacher at the Qingpu training class mentioned him and was very dismissive, saying that this person was a paranoid. He also came to Shanghai? Afraid that Ni Xin would be suspicious, Liu Zezhi didn't dare to ask any more, so he talked a few words and ended the conversation.

The sensitive Liu Zezhi smelled an unusual smell from You Hanbo's words, and instinctively thought that Li Minghua had a big problem, and he should have been taken under Li Shiqun's command and hidden, and Ni Xin knew part of the inside story, so he would try his best to cover it up. It must be a big deal to make Li Shiqun put down the struggle for power and devote himself wholeheartedly. But where do you start? The intelligence is fragmented and fragmented, lacking a link to connect it. Liu Zezhi decided to go to Li Shiqun for a ready-made reason: the Japanese gendarmerie and the secret service team were about to move in, and he had to ask for instructions on how to arrange the logistics. There is also a small matter, and it must be made big before there is an excuse. He called his subordinates: "What did the old king of the treasury say?" Did you take out Director Li's instructions? ”

"No, but I have been biting to death, saying that Director Li confessed to his face."

"This bastard! I asked, and our immediate boss, the senior director of the General Affairs Department, also said that he didn't know, and Director Li would explain it to him in person? If you don't give him a good look, he won't know that the pot is made of iron! Two of the latest radio stations, worth thousands of dollars, don't this old boy secretly sold them, he didn't have time to run away, right? Put him in a confinement cell first, and if he escapes, it will be bad. Wait until I meet the director before I deal with him! ”
