Chapter 431: Who's the Real Murderer

"Oh?" Zheng Weiguo asked curiously, "Who is it?" "The headquarters comes and goes, and there are only those people, and there is no one Zheng Weiguo doesn't know. And since he found the agent pen, he has also deliberately paid attention, but he has never found anyone exposed.

Political Commissar Cheng suddenly sighed and said ashamedly: "Commander, I would like to ask you for my guilt first, because my mistake almost brought huge losses to the revolution. To tell you the truth, I have already requested punishment from the Northern Bureau, and it is estimated that you will soon have a different partner. ”

Zheng Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Old Cheng, you are about to confuse me." What the hell is going on? Who is the murderer, and what does it have to do with you? ”

Political Commissar Cheng showed a rather complicated look on his face, with both hatred and a trace of regret, and said in a low voice: "Because the murderer is Feng Xuemei!" Alas, what a good girl, why did she go down the wrong path? Fortunately, you didn't choose to be with her in the first place, otherwise if you had any three long and two short, I wouldn't have been able to wash it even if I jumped into the Yellow River! ”

"Feng Xuemei?" Zheng Weiguo's face was solemn, he shook his head and said, "It won't be her, you're just afraid of catching the wrong person!" ”

Political Commissar Cheng said regretfully: "I hope not, but all the evidence points to her!" He also said angrily: "The Kuomintang inside the headquarters also took the opportunity to spread rumors and make trouble, saying that she was instructed by the Eighth Route Army and wanted to seize power, and also slandered that I was going to murder the commander, I, I ......." Speaking of this, Political Commissar Cheng's breathing became short, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped, presumably because he was angry.

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly comforted: "Lao Cheng, don't think about it!" I don't know what I know about you? If you want to kill me. Do you have to wait until today? ”

Political Commissar Cheng paced a few steps angrily, and when the anger subsided a little, he continued: "Originally, I thought that Feng Xuemei wanted to kill you because she hated you for being good with Miss Zhilan. However, after our investigation, we found out that this woman was likely to be a spy of the CC department. The assassination of the headquarters, and the fact that you were almost detained, all this is a conspiracy of the national government! ”

Zheng Weiguoqi said: "What do you say? ”

Political Commissar Cheng spread his hands and said, "Isn't this obvious? They began to want to take advantage of the chaos to kill you, and then use Zhang Wenbai, Kang Ze, Miao Chengliu, and Zou Zuohua to control the 41st Group Army. But they didn't expect that what they killed was just a stand-in, so they panicked and wanted to kidnap you in Nakajo Mountain! ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment. Nodding his head and saying, "Hmm." Your analysis makes a lot of sense. On the way back, I was thinking about it. I share your view that this chain of events is not isolated. But I think you've got the wrong target, and the assassin won't be Feng Xuemei, but someone else. ”

Political Commissar Cheng was stunned. "We have a lot of evidence," he said. How could it be mistaken? ”

Zheng Weiguo asked rhetorically: "Then what is the evidence you currently have?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng explained: "There are three points. First, she was found to have been present at the scene of the incident by four witnesses; Second, her matching gun is a 7.65mm flower mouth masturbator. coincided with the bullet of the fallen comrade; Third, her father has a deep friendship with Chen Guofu. ”

Zheng Weiguo laughed and said, "This is the evidence you found?" From a forensic point of view, it is completely untenable. ”

Political Commissar Cheng said embarrassedly: "Except for Feng Xuemei, everyone else can basically find an alibi. In other words, she is the most suspicious and most likely! ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said: "On the contrary, I think this is a trap that has been dug well, just waiting for you to jump into it!" ”

Political Commissar Cheng questioned: "What is the basis for the commander to say this? ”

Zheng Weiguo said embarrassedly: "Because I have been in contact with this Feng Xuemei." ”

Political Commissar Cheng was also embarrassed when he heard this, and said with a face full of shame: "Commander, it's all because I don't know anyone, and I almost caused a big disaster!" ”

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said: "Hey, you are also kind, don't blame yourself!" And from what I know of her, she can't be a spy at all, she doesn't even have basic agent training. ”

Political Commissar Cheng retorted: "Doesn't this show that she is good at disguise? ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Lao Cheng, do you know how to swim?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng didn't understand Zheng Weiguo suddenly asked this, and said, "Yes, but the water is average, and it will flutter a few times in the small river ditch." What does this have to do with whether Feng Xuemei is a spy or not? ”

Zheng Weiguo explained: "As long as a person has received corresponding training, the body will inevitably change, and this change has physiological aspects, such as calluses on the hands, physical fitness, and psychological aspects, such as eyes and emergency ability." For those who can swim, their bodies will naturally react as soon as they fall into the water; People who can shoot guns have different postures for holding guns. These things are engraved in the human body like a brand, and they cannot be concealed if you want to. At least no one can hide it from me. ”

He paused and asked, "Old Cheng, think about it, such a schoolgirl who is not deeply involved in the world can shoot three times in a row right under your noses, and still be able to kill the target and escape unscathed?" And it's still deadly! ”

Political Commissar Cheng thought for a moment and said embarrassedly: "It's really unlikely." Then he guessed: "Could it be that she still has accomplices?" ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said: "It's still possible to be used, who would find a rookie accomplice like her?" Isn't there a saying, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. ”

Political Commissar Cheng smiled awkwardly and said ashamedly: "The commander is right in his analysis, so we may indeed be mistaken?" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, what's even more terrifying is that the real murderer is still in the headquarters, and there may be another stir at any time!" ”

Political Commissar Cheng said with a solemn face: "Not bad! Commander, in my opinion, without further ado, we'd better rush back at once! ”

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! Then he asked, "Where is Feng Xuemei currently being held?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng hurriedly said: "I am detained in the headquarters, and I am still stepping up interrogation." ”

Zheng Weiguo immediately said: "Don't try it first!" Contact Chief of Staff Zhou for me and ask him to personally arrange for Feng Xuemei to secretly transfer to other villages for protection, so as to prevent anyone from trying to kill people. ”

Political Commissar Cheng nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay." What else? ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said a few more words.

Political Commissar Cheng nodded again and again when he heard this, and said happily: "In the end, the commander is still powerful, then I will arrange it!" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "There is one more thing! ”

Political Commissar Cheng was puzzled: "What else?" ”

Zheng Weiguo quipped: "You are guilty of the Northern Bureau!" If Secretary Peng really masturbates you, where can I find such a good political commissar? ”

Political Commissar Cheng blushed and said, "Commander, I can do this errand, alas, I do have a negative trust, so don't make fun of me!" ”

Zheng Weiguo persuaded: "People are not sages. Who can do nothing. Don't worry about mistakes for a while. Now the base area is at a critical time for development. Don't run away! ”

Political Commissar Cheng saluted gratefully and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, commander, I will never be a deserter." ”

After getting in touch with Chief of Staff Zhou, Zheng Weiguo and Political Commissar Cheng hurriedly went north again. Originally, the Americans had an unofficial delegation in southern Hebei. But the situation is urgent. Zheng Weiguo didn't bother to meet them. I had to entrust Master Liu to invite them to visit Jizhong later on.

On the way to Lixian, Li Fugui hurriedly brought a stack of telegrams and reported: "General seat." This is a telegram that has just been received, and Chief of Staff Zhou said that the situation is tense and that you are requested to return immediately to preside over the overall situation. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, you call back immediately, just say that we can arrive tomorrow morning, let him hold on for another day." ”

Li Fugui was stunned for a moment and said, "Tomorrow morning?" At this rate, we'll be there this afternoon! ”

Zheng Weiguo scolded with a smile: "Elm head! ”

Li Fugui suddenly realized, and hurriedly ran to send a report, just ran out of the middle of the road for more than ten meters, and then turned back and said: "General seat, there are still a few telegrams here, there are Yan'an, there are Northern Bureau, there are the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the Jinchaji Military Region, etc., all of them are to inquire about the current situation of the general seat. Commander Nie of Jinchaji and Division Commander Liu of Shanxi, Hebei and Luyu also asked us if we wanted reinforcements. ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "You can tell them about our breakthrough and tell them that I am very good here, don't worry." As for the reinforcements, there is no need for reinforcements, with me Zheng Weiguo here, the sky in Jizhong can't be turned upside down! ”

Li Fugui hurriedly stretched out his thumb and praised: "That's!" The general seat is the world's martial arts stars, what kind of charm and charm can be curried in front of you! ”

Zheng Weiguo scolded with a smile: "Don't shoot Lao Tzu's ass!" Then he pointed to the telegram below and said, "What about these telegrams?" ”

Li Fugui said: "Oh, it's similar to the above, but it was sent two days ago, and we didn't receive it at that time, it was transferred by Political Commissar Cheng." ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, I know the truth!" ”

Li Fugui flipped through it casually and said, "General, there is also a telegram from the Military Commission here, saying that he has no intention of detaining you, but just wants you to report to Chongqing for work." I don't know what's going on with the road, but the order turns bad when it comes down. The chairman of the committee has ordered all departments to thoroughly investigate the matter, saying that he will give you an explanation. ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "I guess I'm looking for a scapegoat!" I won't go back to this yet, and we'll talk about it when we return to Lixian. ”

Lixian, Jicha Theater Command. A piece of gossip spread that Feng Xuemei, a female spy who tried to assassinate Zheng Weiguo not long ago, committed suicide last night. For a while, some people were happy, some people regretted, some people scolded, and there were all kinds of speculations, such as the Japanese pseudo-spies said, the Eight Roads instructions said, and the Central Unification agents said, and they were also spreading. The 41st Group Army and the various factions in Jizhong were also tense and secretly on guard, and the previous harmony was no longer restored.

Bang! Just when everyone was in doubt. A gunshot suddenly rang out in the village, and the garrison immediately rushed to the scene of the incident, only to see Kang Ze, the director of the Political Department, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, blood flowing all over the ground.

The company commander who led the team hurriedly said: "Quick, the hygienist quickly stop the bleeding for Director Kang and send him to the hospital immediately!" Then he asked, "Director Kang, how are you?" ”

Kang Ze's face was pale, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and endured the pain and said, "Someone wanted to kill me just now, but fortunately I hid quickly!" ”

Lian Elder was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Then have you seen the assassin's appearance clearly?" ”

Kang Ze thought for a moment and said bitterly: "It's too sudden, I didn't see it clearly!" ”

At this time, several squad leaders in charge of the pursuit also returned, shaking their heads and saying, "I didn't find it!" ”

The company commander stamped his foot in annoyance and said, "Alas, this is trouble! ”

Due to the delay in catching the murderer. Soon rumors spread, especially some people suspected that it was the hand of the Eighth Road, and even many old Red Army soldiers believed it. Who doesn't know the blood feud between the Red Army and Kang Ze!

Chief of Staff Cai Wenzhi hurriedly found Chief of Staff Zhou and said, "Oh no, everyone outside said that the Eighth Route sent someone to do it!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou reprimanded angrily: "Do you believe such nonsense? ”

Cai Wenzhi said embarrassedly: "Counselor, I don't believe it, but some people believe it!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said angrily: "Then arrest all the guys who spread rumors!" ”

"Then ask the chief of staff to arrest us all, so as not to be shot outside in vain!" Before the words fell, Miao Chengliu, deputy commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army, pushed away the guards and forcibly broke in.

Bang! Chief of Staff Zhou slapped the table. scolded: "Miao Chengliu." What do you want to do? ”

Miao Chengliu twisted his neck and said: "Chief of Staff, the Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Route Assassination is the first, and the murder is the last, and now I want to kill Director Kang." What the hell do you care? ”

"Fuck your shit!" Wang Ping, director of the Political Department of the Jizhong Military Region, stormed into the courtyard in a rage. Pointing at Miao Chengliu, he scolded angrily: "You reactionary. It's clearly a thief shouting to catch a thief! That Feng Xuemei is a spy of the CC department, Chang Guangtou still wants to detain the commander-in-chief this time, don't think you can hide it from the world! ”

Miao Chengliu was about to be furious. Suddenly stunned, he said, "Arrest the commander-in-chief? When is it, I don't know how to do it! ”

Wang Ping sneered and sneered: "Here you are the most happy, and you are embarrassed to say that you don't know the way?" ”

Miao Chengliu said angrily: "What the hell do I know, me! ”

was arguing, and suddenly another gunshot rang out outside, and someone exclaimed: "Oh no, Director Zhang of the Security Department was shot with a black gun!" ”

"It must have been done by the reactionaries, to avenge the head of Devil Kang!"

"Let's go, find them!"

"Where were they when we beat the devils, and now they want to go down the mountain to pick fruits, it's not so easy!"

……

The 41st Group Army was already very complicated, there were warlords, the Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army, and they didn't trust each other, and they all relied on Zheng Weiguo's personal prestige to maintain the balance. Now after being upgraded to the Jincha War Zone, Chang Kaishen has mixed a lot of sand in, which has made personnel relations even more tense. Especially after experiencing a series of incidents such as "Zheng Weiguo's stand-in assassination", "female assassin was killed", and "Kang Ze was injured", both sides have their brains tensed, like powder kegs, just one point.

"Stand up for me!" Chief of Staff Zhou knew that if things continued to develop like this, there would be chaos, so he hurriedly came forward to stop them, and said to Wang Ping: "Director Wang, the situation is critical now, and there are people inside who are deliberately fanning the flames, please be sure to restrain your party and never get involved in the conflict." It's up to the head seat to come back! ”

Wang Ping's eyes widened and he rebuked angrily: "I'm afraid of what those reactionaries will do, I'll go and give them a good look!" ”

Miao Chengliu sneered: "Okay, if you have a kind, come to me first!" ”

"Enough!" Chief of Staff Zhou scolded: "As soldiers, you two should know that the Dao order is forbidden!" To tell you the truth, the commander-in-chief is coming back soon, and whoever makes trouble at this time has a ghost in his heart! ”

"Souza is coming back!" The two were stunned for a moment, and then stared at each other fiercely.

Under Wang Ping's restraint, the GC party personnel were all concentrated and disengaged from the people of the Central Army faction. On the one hand, they are afraid that they will be hot-headed and fight with the people of the Central Army; On the other hand, I am afraid that like Director Zhang, I will be shot in a daze.

Without this opponent, the pro-central faction had no choice but to silence. Chief of Staff Zhou also asked President Xiong to lead the student soldiers of the Jizhong Military Academy to the headquarters and the periphery of martial law, and finally stabilized the situation. However, this kind of strong suppression will not last long, and a long time will inevitably lead to greater chaos.

As expected, in the afternoon, Zhang Wenbai, deputy commander-in-chief of the theater, and Zou Zuohua, deputy commander-in-chief of the group army, also came forward to exert pressure, demanding the resumption of communications and liaison with the outside world and the lifting of martial law. Wang Ping and others also rushed to hear the news, and the two sides insisted on their own words, and the situation deteriorated again. Just when the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, Zheng Weiguo and Political Commissar Cheng finally arrived.

"Headquarters!"

"Commander-in-Chief Zheng!"

"Lao Zheng!"

……

Zheng Weiguo pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you, all of you are like black-eyed chickens?" He quipped, "I'm a step earlier, you don't have any opinions, right?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou choked up and said, "General seat! ”

Zheng Weiguo patted him on the shoulder and reassured: "Yimin has worked hard!" ”

Miao Chengliu suddenly shouted in the audience: "Boss, if you don't come back, Jizhong will be in chaos in the world!" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled and asked, "Open source (Miao's character), are you helping Chief of Staff Zhou maintain stability, or are you taking the opportunity to make trouble?" ”

Miao Chengliu hurriedly said: "Boss, I didn't take the opportunity to make trouble. I just want to get justice for Director Kang! Even if there was a great feud in the past, the great enemy is now, and it must be put aside. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, you're right!" ”

When Wang Ping heard this, he was not convinced, and hurriedly shouted: "Commander, don't be deceived by them, it is Kang Zeshi's bitter trick." ”

Miao Chengliu said angrily: "You fart! The two of them immediately pinched again.

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said: "Don't quarrel first, this matter can be found out soon, and when the time comes, who is right and who is wrong, it will naturally be clear." ”

As he was talking, Zhang Cunshi, the chief of the security department, limped in and reported: "Commander, according to your orders, all five bullet shells have been brought over." "He was shot at during the investigation just now, but fortunately he only injured his thigh.

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Let's put it aside!" Then he asked with concern, "It doesn't matter what you hurt?" ”

Zhang Cunshi smiled bitterly: "It's okay! The doctor checked it and didn't hurt the bones and large blood vessels! ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "You can be regarded as picking up a life, as the saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing, congratulations!" ”

Zhang Cunshi said with a bitter face: "Then I'd rather not be shot this time!" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled, pointed to the plate and asked, "Are these three bullet casings left over from that night's murder?" Is it possible to be swapped in the middle of the process? ”

Zhang Cunshi said busily: "It is impossible for someone to change it, the cabinet has been locked." And everyone knows that it is a Browning 7.65mm pistol cartridge, even if it is replaced, it is useless! ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Very good, how many people in the headquarters use this type of pistol now?" ”

Zhang Cunshi thought for a moment and said, "There are a total of twenty-seven people, including Feng Xuemei!" ”

Zheng Weiguo ordered: "Let them bring their guns and bullets to the shooting range at the entrance of the village immediately, and I will see their marksmanship for myself." ”

Zhang Cunshi hurriedly said: "Yes, the general seat!" ”

Zhang Wenbai whispered: "Boss, you can't try it just by looking at marksmanship, right?" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "It's okay, I have my own way." Come with me, and keep the village on guard! ”

The group soon came to the shooting range, and the twenty-seven people had already arrived, including Feng Xuemei. Everyone heard that she was dead, and they were surprised to see the real person.

"Commander-in-Chief!" Feng Xuemei cried profusely as soon as she saw Zheng Weiguo.

Zheng Weiguo comforted: "Don't worry, I know that it's not you!" ”

Zhang Wenbai hurriedly said: "Commander-in-chief, is it really not Xuemei?" ”

Feng Xuemei said aggrievedly: "Uncle Zhang, it's really not me!" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, let's go shoot first!" After hitting the target, the truth will be revealed! ”

Bang, bang, bang...... After a dense burst of gunfire, a large number of bullet casings were scattered underground. Someone had already taken off the target paper and began to report the target: "Sort by target position, Cai Wenzhi, 85 rings; Miao Chengliu, 70 rings; Kangze 80 rings; Xiong Dazhen, 80 rings...... Feng Xuemeiβ€”"

Everyone looked at it in unison, and the target reporter was also stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "90 rings!" (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you very much for the monthly pass of the Xiang Army, I was finally able to go online today, but it seems that my attention is not as focused as the previous two days, Khan!
