Chapter 346: Dai Li's reaction
"Zhang Xueliang is missing? What's going on? Dai Li, director of the Nanjing Military Command Bureau, was shocked when he heard the news of Zhang Xueliang's disappearance.
You must know that Zhang Xueliang is guarded by the people of their military command, and if Zhang Xueliang is killed or rescued under the heavy protection of their military commander, he, the director of the military command, will not be able to get out of it.
Although he got the news that dozens of military agents who were guarding Zhang Xueliang had all been killed, several bodies of unknown people were also found at the scene. However, these bodies did not have any identification, and they could not find out what the identities of these people were.
With Dai Li's urgent questioning, a section chief in the office who was in charge of handling the specific matters of Zhang Xueliang's detention at the Xuedoushan Guest House in Xikou Town was sweating profusely.
Although Dai Li's Military Command Bureau had just been established for less than two years, when the Military Command Bureau was still a Military Command Section, Dai Li's ruthless methods shocked the people of the Military Command Section.
Now that the Military Command Section has been upgraded to the Military Command Bureau, Dai Li's prestige has increased unabated, so he knows that once the answer is not satisfactory to Director Dai Li, his small section chief who manages the three sections is likely to die.
I saw that the slightly chubby management section chief replied cautiously: "The news just sent back from the military command agents in Xikou Town said that in addition to Zhang Xueliang's disappearance for no reason last night, there were also two special murders in Xikou Town.
One was the discovery of a fishing boat blown up by high explosives in a river not far from Xuedou Mountain, and the people of our military command found four bodies of Japanese who had been blown up in the closed cabin.
As for why it is certain that these four people are Japanese, it is because these four corpses not only have tattoos on their bodies that are unique to the Japanese Black Dragon Society's high-ranking members.
What's more, they found a lot of well-made unique weapons used by Japanese ninjas on the bodies of these people, and the underwear of several people was all unique to the Japanese, so the personnel of Xikou Town replied that they could be sure that the identities of these people were Japanese.
As for another homicide case, it was yesterday during the day that a couple of rich landlords who went up the mountain to ask for a wish, the male owner was killed in the Zen courtyard of Xuedou Temple, and the whereabouts of the female owner are unknown. Just now, the agents of Xikou Town replied that several of the entourage brought by the rich couple during the day were also missing.
Therefore, the agents in Xikou speculated that the situation was that this group of Japanese sneaked into Xuedou Temple last night by taking the opportunity of the rich man going up the mountain to do business, and then they carried out an operation against Zhang Xueliang at night.
It may be that the rich man of the land found out about them, so he was killed by these people. Moreover, our agents also found two Chinese soldiers who had been killed in the west wing where the landlord had placed his belongings. So it's certain that this group of Japanese killers is hiding in the rich man's box on the mountain.
But the current situation is that all those who know will either die or disappear, and it can be said that there is no proof of death, so no one can be sure whether this Zhang Xueliang was rescued or killed. ”
Dai Li also discovered the strangeness of the whole thing, and it was already commendable that this section chief could find out the general ins and outs of the matter in such a short period of time.
He didn't want to be too embarrassed for the section chief, and after asking a few more relevant questions, he let the section chief go. Then he sat down at his desk and went over and over again.
But no matter how he tried to figure it out, there were still many doubts that could not be ruled out, such as the missing rich woman. There is also the reason why these Japanese people hide in the gift box that the rich man carries when he goes to the temple to make a prayer.
They were in a group, or were the rich man and his wife being used by the Japanese, and now he could only order the military commander in Xikou to go all out to track down the whereabouts of the rich man's wife, and at the same time keep everything that happened at the Xuedoushan Guest House secret, and no one should leak the slightest bit of information about what happened last night.
Just after Dai Li had just made up his mind, the section chief who managed the third section came back in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Report to the director, there has been a new breakthrough in the matter, and one of our government officials in Xikou Town has recognized the true identity of the rich man."
He is actually a close confidant of President Wang. The official once met him at a reception to welcome President Wang, and drank wine with him at the same table. ”
As soon as Dai Li heard that this matter also involved Chairman Wang, he immediately felt that the matter was a bit big, and he had to think carefully about how to report this matter to Commander Chiang.
Who knew that before he could think of a plan, he received a call from Commander Jiang himself, asking him to go to the presidential palace to see Commander Jiang immediately, and listen to Commander Jiang's meaning, I don't know who stabbed Commander Jiang about Zhang Xueliang's disappearance.
Dai Li really wanted to cry without tears, he, the director of the Military Command Bureau, had just received the news, and he hadn't reported it yet, so Commander Jiang knew whose mouth owed him so much. He could only pack his bags and prepare to go to the presidential palace to ask Commander Chiang for guilt.
Who knew that he had just walked out of the door, and before he got into the car, a sharp arrow "Peng" shot from a distance and hit the doorpost of Dai Li's mansion.
The military commanders who were in charge of protecting Dai Li, one by one, screamed to protect Dai Li, and at the same time sent people to check the direction where the arrows were fired.
Dai Lian noticed that there seemed to be something tied to the arrow, and he asked his men to retrieve it. Soon his men pulled the arrow from the doorpost and untied a letter from it.
Dai Li opened it and looked at it, and was immediately surprised and delighted, he immediately summoned back the agents of the military command who were being searched, and everyone rushed to the presidential palace in Nanjing in a few cars.
In the presidential palace, in Commander Jiang's office room, Commander Jiang was angry at Xu Enda: "The dozens of military commanders who were responsible for taking care of Zhang Xueliang were all wiped out, how can you still suspect that Dai Li's hands and feet were done?"
Although he has a good relationship with Li Tie, and Li Tie and Zhang Xueliang are also very good, it cannot be concluded that Li Tie and Dai Li colluded inside and outside to save Zhang Xueliang.
Dai Li is the director of the Military Command Bureau, you are the director of the Central Command Bureau, and Li Tie is the director of the Food Command Bureau.
You have to work together and don't tear each other down. I command you not to speak ill of them behind their backs, or I will remove you. ”
Early in the morning, Xu Enzeng received the news from officials in Xikou Town that Chairman Wang's cronies had died in Xuedou Temple in Xuedou Mountain, and then the official of the Central Bureau of Unification reported to him the news that Zhang Xueliang had been detained in the Xuedou Mountain Guest House and had disappeared last night to Xu Enzeng.
Xu Enzeng and Dai Li have always been at odds with each other, and the agents in the two games are also bitter rivals, and they don't look at each other. As the leader of the two major spy organizations of the Republic of China. Of course, he knew that the person in charge of guarding Zhang Xueliang at the Xuedou Mountain Guest House was the person who was the military commander Dai Li.
And his official of the Central Unification Bureau, who was an official in Xikou Town, actually gloated after seeing dozens of military unification agents being killed, so he took the initiative to report the situation in Xikou Town to him.
As soon as Xu Enzeng saw that there was such a big mistake in the Military Command Bureau, he naturally wanted to fall into the ground, so he came to Commander Jiang early in the morning to report Zhang Xue's disappearance to Commander Jiang, but in fact he took the opportunity to slander the dereliction of duty of the Military Command Bureau.
He was also not at the scene, and Zhang Xueliang's disappearance did not have real evidence to point out the real culprit behind the scenes, so he also wanted to take the opportunity to pull Li Tie and Dai Li into the water.
Who knew that Commander Jiang now trusted Li Tie, who had just made great contributions to the Xi'an Incident, and was also not thin on Dai Li, not only did he not succeed in provoking, but also let Commander Jiang scold him.
Xu Enzeng could only nod vigorously, and assured Commander Jiang that there would never be such a thing out of nothing in the future, and he would definitely be close to Dai Li and Li Tie in the future, and sincerely cooperate for the great cause of the party and the state.
Just when Xu Enzengyan insincerely assured Commander Jiang, Dai Li also arrived in a hurry.
As soon as Dai Li walked into Commander Jiang's office, he saw Commander Jiang with a serious face and Xu Enzeng who was low-eyed and pleasing on the side, and he didn't understand that it was Xu Enzeng who reported Zhang Xueliang's disappearance to Commander Jiang first.
No wonder Commander Jiang was angry with himself, it turned out that this villain was getting in the way. As soon as Dai Li's heart turned, he understood the current situation, and he immediately pleaded guilty to Commander Jiang and reported Zhang Xueliang's disappearance to Commander Jiang again.
Commander Jiang didn't blame Dai Li, but asked straight to the point what was going on in Xikou Town? Why is there such a big commotion? The military commanders still haven't said anything, are they all idle eaters?
Dai Li immediately reported to Commander Chiang everything he knew about what had happened at the Xuedou Mountain Guest House last night.
When Commander Chiang heard that not only the Japanese were involved, but also that their military commanders had suffered heavy losses, and that even Chairman Wang's cronies were involved, Commander Chiang was puzzled.
It stands to reason that since Chairman Wang was assassinated, he has been living in seclusion, and every day he has basically stopped asking about the affairs of the Nationalist Government, except for his affection for the mountains and rivers, that is, to visit relatives and friends.
However, now his cronies were not only involved in the disappearance of Zhang Xueliang, but the military commander reported that the four Japanese who had been confirmed to have died in the big river of Xuedou Mountain had appeared in Chairman Wang's mansion a few days earlier.
Could it be that this Zhang Xueliang incident was planned by Chairman Wang behind the scenes? Could it be that President Wang's usual behavior these days is all disguised? Commander Jiang's heart also groaned.
As soon as Xu Enzeng saw that Dai Li had pointed the real culprit of the incident to Chairman Wang, he immediately made a sarcastic remark: "Chairman Wang was inspecting the south in the past few days, and just because these Japanese appeared in his mansion, the real culprit of this incident should be pinned on Chairman Wang's head."
You must know that Chairman Wang is the former chairman of the National Council, so what is the use of him saving Zhang Xueliang, who has been imprisoned? Do you still expect Zhang Xueliang to return to Xi'an to command his Northeast Army, which has long been a pile of scattered sand? Director Dai, don't you want to bite the country's important ministers if you can't find the real culprit? ”
