Chapter 523: The General's Strange Heart

In the temporary office of Building 3 of the guest house, Heiichiro Ono and Ni Xin both arrived.

After listening to Asano's one-click report, Ono Heiichiro listened to the monitoring recording again and asked, "Why didn't Pan Ganchen's attaché take out the gold bars?" ”

Asano replied with one click: "The subordinates think that the person who sent the gold bars is the one who knocked out the miscellaneous servants, pretended to deliver boiling water, and the person who called Pan Ganchen's subordinates is not the same person. After the gold bars were successfully delivered, the accomplices were notified, and the accomplices called Pan Ganchen. ”

Ni Xin said: "Could it be a trap?" If the military commanders fall for the counter-plot and handle it improperly, it will affect the overall morale of the Peaceful National Salvation Army, so we must be cautious. ”

Ono Heiichiro nodded and said: "What Ni Sang said makes sense, Pan Ganchen has three main regiments under him, and their combat effectiveness is not weak, especially Su Dongran's 109th Regiment. In this way, first file the gold bars as evidence, Ni Sang, you immediately start investigating everything about Pan Ganchen, whether there are any changes in his family, relatives, old department, his economic situation, etc., the more detailed the better, the day after tomorrow, that is, the military meeting ends at four o'clock in the afternoon on the fourth day, you must hand over the results of the investigation to me before two o'clock in the afternoon of the fourth day. ”

Ni Xin replied: "Yes, I will personally handle the investigation in Nanjing. General, I would like to send He Qixin to lead an intelligence group to the garrison of the 28th Division of Gaoyou. ”

"You look at the arrangement. Asano-kun, Pan Ganchen and his attachés are not allowed to leave the guest house for the past two days, well-you just say that the wiring is out of order, cutting off the external communication of the room where he is staying. Try not to have a conflict, and if he is really untaught, let him come to me. The other participants were also high-ranking military generals who were to be reused by the Japanese Empire, so they should not clash in public. ”

At two o'clock in the morning of the 3rd, a subordinate came down to report: "Asano-kun, I was patrolling with the guard just now, and I saw that the door lock of the room where Division Commander Pan was staying had been pried. ”

"I'll take a look."

Asano took two tools and a camera to the left side of the second floor of Building 1 with one click, and ordered: "You are watching the wind at the top of the stairs, and someone has come to notify me." By the way, is there anyone in the room? ”

"I found out that there were pry marks just now, so I asked, and the person on duty at the front desk said that Master Pan would go to the meeting at half past one, and the two attachés went to the meeting, and there was no one in the room."

Asano took a closer look: the door lock did have signs of being pried, although it was not obvious. Without much effort, he pry open the door and walked into the room. Everything was normal in the room, and he took out a coat hanging on a hanger at the door, rummaging through it, and in his outer pocket were several savings tickets of various denominations. In the master bedroom, there is a pair of valuable crystal eyes on the bedside table next to the bed, which does not look like someone has stolen it.

Asano's one-click secret road in the morning because of telephone communication, just had a conflict with Pan Ganchen's subordinate Director Mi, although there was no public face, Pan Ganchen and the others could not know that No. 76 was monitoring their every move, could it be that there was something taboo, such as documents, maps or something, stay by your side for fear of accidents, and privately send someone to transfer or destroy it? And the door is just to hide people's eyes? So there should still be Pan Ganchen's people in the guest house? Also, if Pan Ganchen colludes with the military command, someone will always need someone to do the work of liaison and reporting, and it is impossible to have only two open attachés with him. What's more, the military commander is ghostly, who knows that no one will come in disguise? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his judgment was right, so he didn't dare to stay longer, and covered the door to find Ni Xin.

Seeing Asano's one-click, Ni Xin said: "You came just in time, let's take a look, where did the telegram from the chief, Su Dongran actually didn't let them enter the station, saying that they would not be interrogated unless they had Pan Ganchen's handwritten warrant." ”

Asano looked at it with one click, and said angrily: "What? It is too presumptuous to dare to say that they are not under the jurisdiction of General Ono, so they refuse to obey the order! Director Ni, I think something is going to happen to the Pan Ganchen Department. ”

Ni Xin was also very worried, and replied: "Yes, for the sake of today, only by detaining Pan Ganchen in Nanjing, and his subordinates have scruples, can they prevent trouble." ”

"You're right, let Pan Ganchen order Su Dongran to come to Nanjing for interrogation."

"Not only Su Dongran, but also the commanders of the other two regiments also need to be urgently transferred to Nanjing."

"Who else is in Pan Ganchen's family?"

"Except for one son, his family is in the occupied area of Chongqing."

"In the Chongqing occupation zone? That's even more suspicious. Where is his son? ”

"In the name of General Ono, I have ordered the stationmaster of Beiping Station Du Xun to help find this person, but there is no result yet."

Ni Xin ordered: "It's 2:50, Asano-kun, you go to the conference room, there will be a ten-minute break at three o'clock, please General Ono asked General Okamura Ningji who was present for instructions: Find a name, stay in Pan Ganchen, and transfer Su Dongran and other three regiment commanders to Nanjing to report on their work." ”

Half an hour later, Asano came back and reported: "General Ono has made a report to General Okamura, and General Okamura has agreed to stay in Nanjing until the 8th of this month, ordered him to be on standby at the Ministry of National Defense, and has also approved Chief He to lead the intelligence group into the 28th Division's station, and has the right to interrogate anyone. The general also said that he had met and ordered Pan Ganchen to take out the warrant and hand it over to us after the meeting today. However, the proposal of Su Dongran and the other three to come to Nanjing was rejected, saying that further evidence was needed. General Ono has ordered you to prepare a "Briefing Sheet" to be forwarded to General Okamura. ”

Ni Xin replied: "That's the only way." Asano-kun, you go to Yu Siwen, and the "Situation Briefing" asks him to write it for you. When I get Pan Ganchen's warrant, I will personally go to Gaoyou in the early hours of tomorrow morning. You are solely responsible for this place after I leave, remember: Pan Ganchen mutinied, the evidence is insufficient, although there is an order from General Okamura, you must not have a head-on confrontation with him and his attaché, and it is not the time to tear your face with Pan Ganchen. ”

"Can you postpone it until the day after tomorrow? General Ono said that at four o'clock in the afternoon, when the military meeting was over, he would come forward to invite Pan Ganchen to dinner, talk with him, and invite you to attend with him. ”

"It's fine. Asano-kun, after you get Pan Ganchen's warrant, you immediately send someone to send it to the commander in Gaoyou overnight, and ask them to enter the 28th Division's garrison separately and start interrogation first. Also, sent a telegram to the stationmaster of Beiping Duxun: urging him to find the whereabouts of Pan Ganchen's son as soon as possible, and don't forget to tell him that he only needs to monitor and not do anything. ”

At seven o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, in a snack bar in Nanjing Confucius Temple, Zhang Chi saw Ai Gaowen and Lin Shirong, and Zhang Chi said: "Lao Lin, you and I will go to Chief Han Deqin's residence in an hour." ”

Lin Shirong answered "yes" and didn't ask much. Zhang Chi said to Ai Gaoming again: "Lao Ai, three hundred meters west from here, there is a car in the south of the road, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, you drive to this address, send two gold bars to a woman, don't send money, I'm afraid she won't go with you, and then take her away, there may be someone outside her house to monitor ......"

After listening to Zhang Chi's plan, Ai Gaowen replied: "It turns out that this woman is Pan Ganchen's outer room, I understand." But why did he claim to Chief Han and the others that he had given her ten gold bars? ”

The woman and child are not guilty, and the money cannot be recovered afterwards. The Shanghai branch was short of funds, and if it could, it would be saved, so Zhang Chi only took out two gold bars. A few days ago, Zhou Chengbin lived in the Han Deqin Department for six or seven days, and he suspected that there was an inside line of the Japanese in the Commander's Department, and he had no time to assist in the search. This time, he planned to use the mouth of the spy to frame Pan Ganchen, but the strength of the two gold bars was not enough, so he ordered Ai Gaowen to spend ten gold bars on external publicity.

Zhang Chi has an impatient temperament, and has always been impatient to talk to his subordinates, and even more difficult to explain, so he lowered his face and said: "Lao Ai, you are also an old agent, is this what you should ask?" ”

The Shanghai Sub-Bureau is different from other field stations of the military command, since it has its own control of the base area, the finances are basically self-supporting, that is to say, Zhou Chengbin alone has the final say, and only Zhang Chi can occasionally intervene. If Zhou Chengbin deliberately deceives, and Zhang Chi pretends not to know, or even cooperates, the bureau headquarters has no way to control it.

Ai Gaowen stubbornly asked: "The financial income of the base area, the subordinates dare not ask, even if there is a surplus, it will not be much, but this time the bureau headquarters allocated a huge amount of funds, you designed a gold bar to seize No. 76, but the whereabouts of the unused fiat currency are unknown, Deputy Director Zhang, the economic recession of the national control area, the people's livelihood is withering, and the military command is financially strained, as a soldier, ...... as a soldier."

Seeing Zhang Chi's pale face, Lin Shirong hurriedly pulled Ai Gaowen and reproached: "Old Ai, how do you talk that?" What do you mean by not daring to ask? Do you still suspect that the two chiefs are enriching themselves? ”

Because he was in the enemy-occupied area, Zhang Chi couldn't reprimand, and sneered: "I can't afford to use your high-minded subordinates!" After the mission, you should go back to Chongqing. ”

Ai Gaowen didn't dare to say any more, and bowed his head silently. Xindao: I didn't expect Zhou Chengbin and Zhang Chi to be such people! You can resist torture, you can sacrifice your life, but you can't get past money. It's no wonder that Shanghai is drunk with gold, like a big dye vat. He was very worried that if this continued, one day he would give the Japanese puppet traitors an opportunity to take advantage of it and cause irreparable huge losses to the Shanghai Branch. It was decided to wait for the end of the operation to activate the emergency contact radio station and report to the bureau headquarters: It is recommended that Zhou Chengbin and Zhang Chi be transferred and a special commissioner be sent to Shanghai to inspect the income and expenditure accounts of the Shanghai branch.

Lin Shirongqiang smiled and persuaded: "Lao Ai has always loved to be open-mouthed, and he can't talk about his brains, Deputy Director Zhang, don't take it to heart." ”

Ai Gaowen also laughed and said: "The subordinates are gaffes, please rest assured, the subordinates will complete the task." ”

Zhang Chi then handed over the two gold bars and Ge Jiapeng's forged letters and documents to him.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the fourth, a car stopped in front of a small courtyard on the shore of Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, a man in a black suit got out of the car, rang the doorbell, after a while, the maid answered the door, the two sides talked a few words, the man walked in, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old, slightly bulging lower abdomen, quite a bit of posture woman walked out of the door. In the courtyard, he asked, "Sir, what is your surname?" Did Master Pan ask you to come? ”

"You're Mrs. Pan, aren't you? My surname is Wang, I haven't seen you before, this is my ID, and there is a letter from Master Pan to you, the division commander said that he will go back to Gaoyou after the meeting tomorrow, and the Japanese and colleagues and friends in Nanjing will go to the station to see them off, and it is not convenient for you to take the train with him, so I will take you to Gaoyou Station first. By the way, this is the passage fee that the division commander asked me to transfer. ”

Seeing that the visitor called herself "Mrs. Pan", the woman was overjoyed, and very politely invited someone into the living room, after reading the letter, and took the gold bar, of course, there would be no more doubts, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Director Wang of the 28th Division's office in Nanjing, please use tea, and leave after I clean up." By the way, there is something I want to ask you: Why can't the phone of the guest house where your division commander lives get through in the past two days? ”

"Let Mrs. you worry, I went to meet the division commander, and I heard from the division commander that the secrecy level of the meeting had been increased in the last few days of the meeting, so all external communications in the guest house were cut off, and Director Mi and Adjutant Zhang were in the list of attachés, and it was inconvenient to walk away, so the division commander sent me to send Mrs. you to the station."
