At eight o'clock in the morning of May 8, as soon as he got to work on the 76th, Hu Yizheng, director of the First Branch of the Shanghai Municipal Police Station, came to Ni Xin and said with a smile: "According to your instructions, I personally went to Liu Jiabang in the suburbs of Yancheng in northern Jiangsu, and asked the local police station to help investigate the situation of Liu Zezhi's family in the name of tracking down drug dealers. ”

Ni Xin was a little uneasy and asked, "You went alone?" Sure it won't make people suspicious, right? ”

"Of course it's a person, you tell me a thousand times, how dare I disobey? In front of anyone, including the sheriff who took me to Liujiabang, I said that I wanted to track down drug dealers, and I asked about Liu Zezhi's situation. ”

Although Hu Yizheng was very strange that Ni Xin's subordinates were full of talents, why he sent himself to Yancheng to investigate, he didn't dare to ask more. Since he inadvertently rescued Ono Tsuru in distress and climbed the big tree of Ono Heiichiro, his official fortune has been prosperous. can have the opportunity to serve Ni Xin, Hu Yizheng can't ask for it.

Ni Xin nodded and said, "You are doing things, what else am I worried about?" Let's talk about the results. ”

"Yes, Liu Zezhi's sister and brother lost their mother since childhood, their father also died in the Northern Expedition, there is only one grandfather in the family, and he is unwilling to leave his hometown to come to Shanghai. His grandfather also died a year before Liu Zezhi went to study in the UK. ”

Ni Xin asked: "So Liu Zezhi only has one relative, his sister, where is his sister now?" ”

"People in the family say that his sister, who is two years older than him, is missing. By the way, Liu Wu and Liu Lin you mentioned are the grandsons of Liu Zezhi's uncle and grandfather, who lost their father since childhood and were raised by Liu Zezhi's grandfather, and only these two branches are the closest in the family. ”

Ni Xin found out in the confidential room that Liu Zezhi had written his resume and the information of his immediate family members in accordance with the rules of No. 76, saying that his sister had fled and disappeared when Shanghai and Nanjing fell. The two corroborates each other, and it can be seen that Hu Yizheng's investigation results are reliable. Ni Xin asked again: "What is the attitude of the Liu family towards Liu Zezhi?" ”

"It's not good, three years ago, the youngest cousin Liu Lin went back, and it is said that he joined the army of the Chongqing government, and Liu Lin told the elders of the clan that his two brothers were traitors...... The one who joined the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle, those people in the Liu family were ignorant and conservative, and they actually opened an ancestral hall and expelled Liu Zezhi's brother. ”

Ni Xin remembered that he had seen the letter sent by his father in Liu Ze's clan expelling him and his cousin Liu Wu, and secretly said that he was suspicious? Liu Zezhi is still reliable?

Hu Yizheng said again: "There is another thing, I heard that an old woman in the clan said that Liu Zezhi's sister was engaged, and the man was also from Yancheng, forty kilometers away from Liu Jiabang, so I went there." ”

Ni Xin smiled and praised: "Director Hu is so attentive, Ni is very grateful." ”

Director Ni said seriously. The man's surname was Gao, he was a squire, and the man had parents and siblings, and I heard that the man was a teacher in a middle school in Nanjing before his death, and died in the massacre of Nanjing...... The one was accidentally injured by the imperial army, and it is said that it was less than half a month before the wedding. ”

Ni Xin secretly said that if Liu Zezhi's sister is still alive, why don't you go back to the Liu family's house in Shanghai to find her younger brother or cousins Liu Wu and Liu Lin? There is only half a month before the wedding, even if it is unconfirmed, the possibility that Liu Zezhi's sister and future brother-in-law died in the Nanjing Massacre is much greater than being exiled in the Chongqing government's Guotong District, right? I heard Li Shiqun say that Liu Zezhi had searched for his sister's whereabouts in many ways in the Chongqing government's Guotong District, why did he return to Shanghai, and he was a person with hands and eyes to the sky No. 76, but he never tried to find his sister's whereabouts through relationships, is this normal? Did he know that his sister was no longer alive?

If his sister died in the Nanjing Massacre, with his own understanding of Liu Zezhi, how could he give up? After the fall of Nanjing, the Japanese army did a lot of things that should not have been, burning, killing and looting, and Ni Xin did not know how likely it was that a young woman who had spent her years of life would be spared? In the 36th year of the Republic of China, there was no sign of war in Britain, what kind of change could make Liu Zezhi interrupt his studies at the Royal College of Physicians in London, England, but after returning to China, he did not return to Shanghai, where public order was initially restored, but went all the way to Chongqing, and was also admitted to the Qingpu training class of the military commander......

Seeing that Ni Xin fell into deep thought, Hu Yizheng said again: "Director Ni, what else do you command?" ”

Ni Xin smiled and said, "Oh, no, thank you for running so far." He smiled and said, "This incident has never happened to you, if it is leaked and the general is angry, I can't protect you." ”

"Yes, please rest assured Director Ni."

Seeing Hu Yizheng away, Ni Xin ordered: "Come on, prepare the car, bring Quan Kanhu out, and go to the headquarters." ”

At nine o'clock, Ni Xin personally escorted Quan Kanhu to Ono Heiichiro's office, and along the way, the more Quan Kanhu thought about it, the more afraid he became: After so many days of confinement, General Ono wants to meet him again, could it be that the battle of Western Hubei is unfavorable, and the general is determined to deal with it strictly? Alas, it is not an exaggeration to make such a mistake and cause such a huge loss to the Great Japanese Empire, so that the Ono family is disgraced and self-condemned, but it is a pity that there is no longer a chance to make meritorious service and atone for their sins.

Heiichiro Ono was not in the office, and Kwon Suga was standing on the ground and did not dare to speak.

Ni Xin said: "The general is really angry this time, and ...... Even if the general wants to protect him, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it...... Alas, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Quan Suga plucked up his courage and said, "Director, is there any progress in the battle of the Imperial Army in Western Hubei...... The subordinates knew that the truth was tricked out by Tang Jitian last time, causing Zhou Chengbin to escape, and this time he fell into the military commander's counter-plot again, made a big mistake, and did not dare to defend himself...... But I am not willing to be disemboweled, please give a plea to my subordinates in front of the general, and give me a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

"Guilty of meritorious service? What are your plans? ”

"I ...... The subordinates don't know where to start, the director, the subordinates have been lurking in Chongqing for many years, and they are willing to sneak into Chongqing again, assassinate Dai Li, Mao Renfeng and other important military commanders, and atone for their crimes. ”

Ni Xin smiled bitterly: "Assassinate Dai Li, Mao Renfeng? How sure are you of success? ”

"Don't dare to deceive the chief, I'm not sure, my subordinates just want to ......"

Ni Xin sighed and said, "You guessed right, the Imperial Army of the Battle of Western Hubei is very passive, and the general ...... also has his difficulties, if you don't deal with you, you can't explain to the peak. Alas, I know that you will not betray the Japanese Imperial Army, originally thinking about the long term, trying to contact Gu Jingping and Ding Hanzhong, and returning you to a clean slate, who knew that yesterday's battle report of the Imperial Army mentioned the list of middle and senior generals of the Chongqing army who were killed, and these two people were among them, and there was no proof of death. ”

Kwon Kan-hu was discouraged and closed his eyes and did not speak.

Ni Xin seemed to have been hesitating, and only after a moment did he say: "I pleaded with the general for you, and I hit a big nail, and the general said that unless Zhou Chengbin is caught within ten days, you can save your life, and he also asked me to make a military order." ”

Quan Kanhu ignited a glimmer of hope again, looking at Ni Xin, but it was inconvenient to plead, which affected the chief.

Ni Xin said again: "How easy is it to catch Zhou Chengbin?" The military commander not only got the Imperial Army's "Western Hubei Battle Plan", but also gave General Yokoyama Isamu a fake battle plan through your hand, although there was Zhang Zhan...... Unfortunately, the outbreak of war was only a few hours away. I heard Zhang Zhan say that Zhang Chi was promoted to deputy director of the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command because of this incident, and his military rank was also promoted to major general. Zhou Chengbin has made this immortal achievement, where will there be a big action in the near future? He is cowering in the base of the military command, how can we arrest him? ”

The only glimmer of hope was shattered again, and Kwon Kan-ho was completely desperate.

Ni Xin picked up the teapot on the coffee table, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, drank it all in one gulp, and played with the purple sand teacup, wandering. Quan Kanhu said with difficulty: "I am to blame, I dare not hold grudges, I am willing to die to correct the military law." Director Ni, we haven't known each other for a long time, but I respect you very much, and it's not just because of Miss Hezi...... After I die, please take care of my old mother in Japan, and two children who have not seen a mother since childhood, I haven't seen them for six or seven years......" Kwon Kanhu's tears finally fell, choking up and unable to continue.

Ni Xin couldn't bear it, lowered his head and thought about it, and stood up for a long time: "I can't watch you die in the hands of the general, as a soldier, the horse leather shroud is the highest honor!" I would like to make a military order and live and die with you! Lao Quan, let's fight! ”

Quan Kanhu was taken aback, and shook his head again and again: "No, I can't bother you, you are right: how easy is it to arrest Zhou Chengbin......"

"Don't say it, if you still recognize me as a sir, obey orders! Besides, we are not without a clue, the general may come back at any time, we must first unify the voice, you listen to me......"

The more Quan Kanhu listened, the more solemn his face became, and Ni Xin finally said: "At present, No. 76 knows that you are being imprisoned by General Ono, and the opponent thinks that he has found a scapegoat, and he will also relax his vigilance, you can free up your hands and track down quietly, and this undercover agent ...... If it is really him - of course it may be Song Ningsheng, but judging by Song Ningsheng's status and the time he joined No. 76, this possibility is unlikely - alas, the losses caused to the Great Japanese Empire, especially No. 76, are too great, even if it is for Director Li who died at the hands of the military commander, I will definitely not let him go! And that Zhou Chengbin, I want to send them to hell with my own hands! ”

"Thank you, sir, for your trust, I hope you are unfounded, he is not a military commander, although I may die in military law, I don't want to wronged him, but if it is really him, I will kill him!"

Ni Xin's voice was a little disappointed: "I also hope that my judgment is wrong, but ...... Do a good job and don't let the general down again. ”

The reason why he was agitated was to deal with that person and Zhou Chengbin, not to mention Quan Kanhu, even Ni Xin himself had no confidence, not to mention that now he is the head of No. 76, everyone is watching, as long as he makes a move, there is a possibility of leaking. Ni Xin hopes that Kwon Kanhu, who is facing military sanctions, can give full play to his potential and compete with the most dangerous opponent without falling behind. The battle of western Hubei was unprecedentedly tragic, and for the first time since the start of the war, the army of the Chongqing government did not fall behind, and only one undercover agent was not enough for Ono Heiichiro to hand over to the base camp, unless the Shanghai branch of the military command was cracked and Zhou Chengbin was captured......
