Sanyuan Hotel in the south of Quzhou City.

Dai Li, director of the Special Services Division, stood in front of the window of the guest room on the second floor of the double-storey antique building, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Changshan River and the Jiangshan River embracing the two rivers more than 200 meters ahead, and listening to the "whooshing" sound made when the blue waves collided, and felt irritable for no reason.

Originally, Dai Li believed that Wu Ming, who had a background in the CC department and the civil engineering department, must be inseparable from the Kumaling fluorite mine fund-raising incident, and as long as he could find tangible evidence, he could come up with the chairman's decree to scrape a layer of oil from him and greatly enrich the national treasury.

However, no one expected that during his secret visit to Quzhou for a week, Dai Li heard all about the good people and good deeds of the new Second Division in building bridges and paving roads, helping lonely and widowed old people to chop wood and carry water, and so on, and that there was no shadow of the New Second Division in all the specific business activities involving the localities, and the leading role in it was the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce and the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce, which were growing and growing more and more.

"The passenger ferry we sent to Kumaling Fluorite Mine to explore had just passed through Machu Village, and was stopped by the checkpoint set up at Xikou, and because there was no pass, we had to return to Zhaoxian Town by boat. I heard from the people on the boat that from the mouth of the river to the north, there are three water checkpoints on Fangcun Creek, and pillboxes and fortifications have been built along the coast, and it is impossible to break through."

Wei Daming, the head of the telecommunications section of the secret service, pushed open the door of the room and walked in, came to Dai Li's back and whispered.

Wei Daming, known as one of the two Chinese radio experts in the thirties, helped Dai Li build the communication network of the secret service from scratch, and also specially built a small radio station for the secret service that was only the size of a popsicle in addition to batteries and headphones, and was Dai Li's absolute confidant.

Dai Li was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked Wei Daming: "Why didn't Fang Zhibin report these situations?"

Wei Daming said: "I have already asked, he was taken to Shanghai by Wu Ming shortly after he arrived at the new Second Division, and when he came back, he went to the Phoenix Mountain base twice at night, and he didn't know the situation on both sides of Fangcun Creek at all." Moreover, after all, he is the deputy chief of staff of the new Second Division, and it is impossible for his eyes to just stare at Maoliangwu and the Phoenix Mountain base, there are new second divisions stationed in Changshan, Kaihua and Jiangshan counties, and after running five or six towns, Wu Ming was transferred to northeast Zhejiang to build national defense fortifications, and he has never entered the inner circle of the new second division."

Dai Li nodded slightly, and saw Mao Sen, the head of the Fuzhou Station of the Special Service Office, who was dispatched to help thoroughly investigate Wu Ming and the new Second Division, enter the room, and asked with a smile: "Ah Sen, how do you feel about returning to Jiangshan this time?" ”

Dai Li and Mao Sen are both from Quzhou, and when they returned to their hometown this time, Dai Li had many novel feelings, so when he saw Mao Sen, he wanted to ask.

Mao Sen looked incredible:

"To be honest, I didn't expect that Quzhou and Jiangshan would change so much in just a few years...... Who could have imagined that the peach that was rotten on the mountains and ignored by no one would have been purchased, named kiwifruit, all wrapped in paper and sent to Shanghai and other places for sale, and was very popular with foreigners.

Dai Li nodded: "I heard that these were all done at Wu Ming's suggestion...... Quzhou Chamber of Commerce and Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce worked together to invest in the construction of two ash factories, five stone factories, three timber factories, a textile factory, a match factory, a hardware factory, and a machinery factory in Jiangshan County in a few years, and also cooperated with the Jiangshan squires to invest in the construction of rice mills, flour mills and oil mills, providing a large number of employment opportunities, but Wu Ming and his new second division did not seek any benefits from it in the people, Wu Ming's reputation is very high

"If this person is not a righteous man and a gentleman, then he is a great traitor and a great evil with other intentions, otherwise how can he be so selfless

Mao Sen commented, and said: "After I returned to the village, my old patriarch also said with emotion that during Wu Ming's inspection of Jiangshan County two years ago, he once praised the beautiful scenery of Jiangshan County, saying that if it was in the peaceful years, Jiangshan County would not say anything else, just relying on the landscapes of Jianglang Mountain, Moon Lake, Xianxia Ridge, Twenty-eight Ancient Towns and Floating Rockfill Caves, it would be enough to ⊥ the county's fathers and villagers get rid of poverty and become rich. Judging from all aspects, Wu Ming has indeed fulfilled his promise. ”

Dai Li saw that he was off topic, and hurriedly brought the topic back to the right track: "Ah Sen, entering Maoliangwu, is there any other way besides taking the Fangcun Creek waterway?" I always feel that this Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce and the town hidden in the mountains and the Phoenix Mountain base have many ulterior secrets, and it is difficult to feel at ease if I don't find out."

Mao Sen thought for a while and said, "Sitting down, since the other party is deliberately setting up a card on Fangcun Creek, then even if there is a road in other places, with the usual thoroughness of considering things, it will definitely be fortified everywhere...... I think that without the active cooperation of the new Second Division, it would be difficult for us to enter Maoliangwu, let alone explore the Kumaling fluorite mine and the Phoenix Mountain training base."

"In fact, we are entrusted with a heavy trust, it belongs to official business, even if Wu Ming is reluctant in his heart, he has to accompany us to welcome us to visit and inspect with a smile, now since we can't find any clues in the secret visit, then let's simply show our identity, check it openly, and if we can't find anything, it proves that this Wu Ming is indeed bright and outstanding, let's just report to the chairman of the committee honestly after we go back."

"It's just a little unwilling."

Dai Li frowned and said: "Wu Ming and Xu Enzeng have a very close relationship, it is said that in recent years, many people in the Party Affairs Investigation Office have been trained in Wu Ming's Phoenix Mountain Base丨 and he has also selected many outstanding talents for the Investigation Department, which has now been enriched all over the country...... I originally wanted to use this incident to deal a good blow to the investigation department, but I didn't expect to be in such a situation now."

Dai Li and Mao Sen actually knew that Wu Ming's brother-in-law Fang Youchun was the general of the CC department, and Fang Youchun was wronged at the beginning, and it was all thanks to Xu Enzeng's help that he was rehabilitated, and the relationship with the investigation department was closer.

However, Fang Youchun is an upright person with a good reputation, in order to recover the tax rights of the three counties in western Zhejiang, he did not hesitate to fall out with his brother-in-law, under his governance, the economy of western Zhejiang has developed rapidly, and all industries are prosperous, and last year's tax revenue alone was 50 percent more than in previous years, and he has a huge reputation in Zhejiang officialdom and the people, and it is not easy to attack such a good old man

Wu Ming's situation is different, the new second division belongs to the Central Army sequence, and cannot be involved in local government affairs, let alone participate in specific operations, as long as he firmly grasps this point and finds out relevant "illegal" evidence, he is not afraid that Wu Ming will not obediently give in. Who wants the secret service and his party to sneak into western Zhejiang, and still find nothing for a week, which makes everyone feel helpless.

"That's it, let's inform Wu Ming now......"

Dai Li sighed, and just wanted to instruct Wei Daming, when he saw Hu Guozhen, the head of the Hangzhou Station of the Secret Service who accompanied him this time, walk into the room with a strange expression and report to Dai Li:

"Seat, Wu Ming, the commander of the new Second Division, is visiting, and he is now in the lobby of the hotel below, and his guards have surrounded the surrounding streets."

Mao Sen's eyes widened in shock: "Our whereabouts are so secretive, or have we been discovered by him?" It can be seen from this that this Wu Ming has run Quzhou to the point that it is not entering."

"Or else...... If he hadn't known that I was here by now, I would have doubted his ability" Dai Lihuo Ran stood up and smiled coldly:

"I just happened to see whether this person who sprinkled in front of the chairman of the committee in Lushan and retreated with his whole body, tossed Shanghai Beach into a mess, took the opportunity to make a fortune, and almost caused a war between China and Japan."

With that, Dai Li strode out of the room. Mao Sen and Wei Daming glanced at each other, and followed Dai Li downstairs with Hu Guozhen.

In the hotel hall below, Wu Ming said to Dai Simin, vice president of the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce, who came to accompany him with a smiling face when he heard the news: "Old Dai, your hotel is running well, business is very good, right?" ”

Dai Simin smiled from ear to ear: "If it weren't for the fact that the new Second Division helped dredge the Qujiang River and repair and strengthen the embankment during the dry period of the past two years, where would I dare to repair a house in the place where the two rivers meet... Our Dai family cooperated with the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce to buy buses and trucks from the United States to drive a transportation company, plus the passenger flow brought by train and water transportation, which made us dare to set foot in the hotel industry

Wu Ming smiled: "It is our duty to help the old folks avoid drought and flood disasters, others only see that the riverside scenery is better but do not think of opening a hotel, it can only show that Boss Dai has a vision, but I want to remind you that this hotel is open, and the management must keep up, especially the identity of the guests must be registered, and if there is a problem, it must be reported to the police station or the remaining place of our new second division in the military camp in the north of the city, if you let the saboteurs get in, it will be difficult for everyone to do it at that time."

Dai Simin listened to Wu Ming's words, his face turned white with fright, he looked at the officers and soldiers of the New Second Division who were fully armed inside and outside the hotel, and asked tremblingly: "Is this ...... This...... Nothing really happened, right? ”

Wu Ming waved his hand: "Don't worry, I came here today to meet a few friends, they were polite to me, and they didn't come to me when they arrived in Quzhou, so I had to visit in person."

Dai Sixin sighed lightly and was about to speak, when he heard the sound of "oh oh" on the stairs, turned his head to look, and saw several guests appear at the staircase.

Wu Ming had already seen Dai Li's photos from internal information, and at this time, he saw Dai Li, who was thin and a head shorter than himself, coming downstairs and walking towards him, and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Director Dai returned to his hometown, but he didn't know that Wu Mou was a friend."

Dai Li and Wu Ming's outstretched hands clasped tightly: "Master Wu, when I went to Shanghai last month, I heard Brother Du talk about you, if it weren't for your help, he and Boss Huang's situation would be worrying...... The timing is just right."

"Oh?"

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows: "Can you tell Wu that Director Dai is here to investigate some major and important cases?"

"Of course"

Dai Li has already had a belly case: "The Japanese in the counties of western Zhejiang have many secret strongholds, which seriously threaten China's national security, and Dai Mou has come here to track down the traces of Japanese spies and cut off their claws that extend to the hinterland south of the Yangtze River." ”

"Ha Lu Ha"

Wu Ming laughed loudly: "I see...... However, Quzhou is indeed not peaceful in the past few days, many people are sneaky, want to steal military secrets, this has aroused the Quzhou Administration, the party affairs department and the county police department to attach great importance to it, today united with the new second division garrison, hit hard, and captured 56 suspects in one fell swoop Director Dai, it will not be the flood that washed the Longwang Temple, we have encountered it ourselves, right? ”

"You"

Dai Li's chest shook dramatically, pointed at Wu Ming for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect Master Wu to be so humorous, and he made such a big joke on Dai as soon as he came...... If nothing else, they are Dai's subordinates, please look at Dai's thin noodles and let them go."

Mao Sen and the others behind Dai Li's face changed greatly.

This time, the secret service sent people from all over the country to Quzhou to participate in the investigation, except for a few heads of affairs and people who went to the surrounding counties to investigate, there were no more than 56 people stranded in Quzhou, but they did not expect to be dumplings made by Wu Ming all of a sudden, this ruthlessness, this decision, is indeed not something ordinary people can do

"Ah...... No way? ”

Wu Ming's face was full of surprise: "What...... They are all subordinates of Director Dai...... Oops, this ...... This...... How is it good? Those who don't know are not guilty, come here, hurry up to Quzhou Prison to bring people over, and then order a few tables of dishes in Piaoxianglou, I want to make amends to Director Dai and my colleagues...... Go ......."
