After the special train of the secret search division drove to Langang Station, everyone saw through the window that the platform was already full of soldiers and policemen, and the heavily armed soldiers and policemen of the Manchukuo National Defense Force stood straight under the leadership of the officers and police officers headed by them.

The train came to a steady stop, and as soon as the doors opened, officers and police officers stepped forward to salute.

The officer took a step forward: "Qi Hongyun, the commander of the first company of the third battalion of the Mudanjiang Garrison Regiment, was ordered to report to Section Chief Qian!" ”

The police officer also saluted: "Zhang Guodong, director of the Langang Police Station under the Mudanjiang Police Department, reports! ”

Qian Sinian turned around and briefly introduced Tang Qianlin and the others, looked at the soldiers and policemen on the platform, and asked, "How many people have you brought?" ”

Qi Hongyun said: "Strengthen the company of 133 people!" ”

Zhang Guodong replied: "There are 25 people in the Langang Police Station!" ”

Tang Qianlin watched the soldiers and policemen turn around and get into the car, but Li Yunfan found a familiar face in the police team, but he didn't say anything.

The so-called Manchukuo National Defense Force, whether in the eyes of the common people or even in the eyes of the Japanese, is just a group of rabble, although it seems to have been strictly trained, most of its combat effectiveness is inferior to the anti-union guerrillas, and it is nicknamed the Manchukuo National Defense Honor Guard by the Kwantung Army.

Therefore, this time the dispatch of a reinforced company to assist was just to strengthen the momentum and deter the forces of all parties who wanted to take action against the secret search class.

However, the 20-man guard platoon under Qi Hongyun attracted Li Yunfan's attention, and these 20 people were equipped with four Japanese-made Type 96 light machine guns, 6 rifles, and 10 German-made M18 Bergman submachine guns, which are commonly known as flower machines, which are not at all like the weapon configuration of the Manchukuo army.

Take the Type 96 light machine gun as an example, not long after it was installed in the Kwantung Army, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army thought that this light machine gun was far better than the Type 11 light machine gun in the past, that is, it was crooked, so how could it be equipped with the Manchukuo army?

In addition, among the 6 rifles, in addition to the 4 38 type, there are also two 38 sniper rifles, which is also very rare in the Manchukuo army, not to mention the 10 Bergman submachine guns.

In addition, the 20 soldiers of the guard platoon were different from other soldiers in terms of complexion and standing posture, which further strengthened Li Yunfan's judgment - this guard platoon was not an ordinary unit.

Qian Sinian beckoned Qi Hongyun and Zhang Guodong to get into the car, and after sitting down, he said, "Please introduce the situation of Hongtutun to the two of you." ”

Qi Hongyun and Zhang Guodong stood up straight, glanced at each other, and wondered who would speak first.

Qian Sinian said: "Sit down, what is the pestle doing here?" ”

Zhang Guodong put his feet together: "Sitting, sir, we have to stand." ”

Qian Sinian frowned: "Okay, just stand if you want to, just don't delay the business." ”

Zhang Guodong said: "Report to the chief, here's the thing, three days ago, someone reported to the police station, saying that someone in the family went to Hongtutun for relatives and didn't come back for several days, he didn't feel at ease so he went to check, and it turned out that Hongtutun was gone. ”

Li Yunfan asked: "What does it mean that there is no one left?" ”

Zhang Guodong said: "It's just that everyone is gone, I don't know where they went, and they disappeared mysteriously." ”

Qian Sinian said: "Director Zhang, you can give me a general introduction to Hongtutun. ”

Zhang Guodong replied: "Report to the chief! Hongtutun is 50 miles away from Langang County, because the land around the village is laterite, so it is named. Jingpo Lake can be reached through the cedar twilight forest to the north of Hongtutun, where the villagers mainly grow sorghum and therefore also have wine workshops, which are famous in Langang. In addition, in addition to planting sorghum, Hongtutun also relies on aquatic fisheries, and the aquatic products in Langang County are basically supplied by Hongtutun. ”

Li Yunfan frowned: "How many people live in this tunzi?" ”

Zhang Guodong faced Li Yunfan: "There are 74 households in total, with a total population of 150 people, which belongs to the richest villages around Langang County. ”

Tang Qianlin finally asked: "Section Chief Qian, you said before that there are bandits around Jingpo Lake, and there are also guerrillas of the Anti-Japanese Federation, such a rich village, has nothing happened for so long?" ”

Qi Hongyun stepped forward at this time and said: "Report, because of the richness of Hongtutun, there were indeed bandits and anti-Manchu anti-Japanese elements harassing in the past, but since we garrisoned the army in Langang County, this kind of thing has rarely happened. ”

Tang Qianlin asked again: "According to your investigation, how long have the villagers of Hongtutun been missing collectively?" ”

Qi Hongyun looked at Zhang Guodong, and Zhang Guodong replied: "According to our investigation, the villagers of Hongtutun have been missing for at least half a month. ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "How did you get this time?" ”

Zhang Guodong replied: "Langang County every single day such as the first day, the third day of the new year, and the fifth day of the new year, the people in the surrounding tunzi will come to the county seat to catch the market, but from half a month ago, there has been no Hongtutun people in the market, I also said before, the main aquatic products in Langang County come from Hongtutun, and there are almost no aquatic products in the market for half a month. ”

Qian Sinian frowned and said: "I have been missing for half a month, if no one reports the case, you don't know that more than 100 people in a tun have disappeared mysteriously, what are you doing as a director?" ”

Zhang Guodong hurriedly said: "The subordinates are derelict in their duties, and the subordinates should die." ”

Tang Qianlin interjected at this time: "Director Zhang, you have something to hide from us. ”

Zhang Guodong was stunned: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Tang Qianlin got up and walked to Zhang Guodong: "Hongtutun is such a rich village, it must be a piece of fat in the eyes of your Director Zhang, I must be staring very closely on weekdays, and I can't hide anything from you, so you said that you didn't know that the people in the village had been missing for half a month, or you only found out when people came to report the case, do you think, will I believe it?" ”

Zhang Guodong's face changed, and Qian Sinian sat down and looked at him directly: "Zhang Guodong, do you know what the end of deceiving us is?" ”

Zhang Guodong's face was ugly, but he still insisted: "The subordinates really didn't hide anything, they really found out after reporting the case." ”

Tang Qianlin looked at Qian Sinian: "Section Chief Qian, I propose that Director Zhang be removed from his post and investigated." ”

Qian Sinian didn't make a sound, just stared at Zhang Guodong coldly.

Zhang Guodong immediately pleaded: "Sir, I really don't know, I really haven't hidden anything." ”

Tang Qianlin said word for word: "I'll give you another chance one last time." ”

Zhang Guodong still said: "Report to the chief! I really don't have anything to hide! ”

Tang Qianlin turned around and got out of the car, and everyone looked at Tang Qianlin from the car window standing in front of a group of policemen and asked, "Excuse me, which of you is a relative of Director Zhang Guodong?" ”

After a few seconds, the third policeman in the second row slowly raised his hand: "I am." ”

When the policeman raised his hand, Zhang Guodong closed his eyes in despair, knowing that it was bad.

Tang Qianlin walked up to the policeman and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The policeman replied: "Report to the chief, my name is Zhang Zhiqing, and I am the cousin of the director. ”

Tang Qianlin had a smile on his face.

After a long time, Tang Qianlin returned to the car and walked to Zhang Guodong: "Hongtutun is such a piece of fat, you Zhang Guodong will not let it go easily, therefore, Hongtutun will regularly bribe you, but you are not stupid enough to let them personally send the money to the police station, so you need to find an agent who collects money for you, and you can't trust others, you can only find relatives who are related to you, that is, Zhang Zhiqing." ”

Zhang Guodong said: "Report, I admit that I did accept a bribe from Hongtutun!" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet, the key to what I want to say is not here, although Hongtutun is rich, you police have to collect oil and water, that is a normal thing, but it is not a normal thing to pay you a bribe on a regular basis, plus we asked you about the situation of Hongtutun before, and found that it was impossible for you to learn about the loophole of the Hongtutun accident so late, although you were calm, but you were unwilling to say why you found out very early, but you were unwilling to report the reason, I am based on this suspicion, It occurred to me that I would find an agent in the police station to help you take bribes. ”

Zhang Guodong was already sweating profusely at this time, Tang Qianlin raised his hand to help him take off his hat: "Cool down, continue to listen to me." When I approached Zhang Zhiqing, I found that there was a special smell on his body, which was slightly sweet with a lime smell, which was the only smell of people who had smoked opium, and judging from his face and expression, he must have smoked opium for a while, but you did not have this smell, which shows that your cousin smoked opium, but you knew the harm of opium, and even prevented him from smoking, but to no avail. Looking back, how much does a small police officer get paid a month, and can still smoke opium? And how does it mean that you dare to send an opium smoker to take bribes for you? ”

Zhang Guodong's lips were already chapped because he opened his mouth and breathed rapidly, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Qian Sinian got up and said, "Zhang Guodong, you fucking ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall!" You actually harbored the illegal cultivation of opium poppies in the red clay tun! ”

Tang Qianlin looked directly at Zhang Guodong and said: "A police officer, who doesn't have much salary, can smoke opium, and you dare to send an opium smoker to help you accept bribes, combined with these factors, it is not difficult to speculate that the main reason why Hongtutun bribes you is that they are privately planting opium poppies and producing opium, otherwise with 150 people, they can grow sorghum and make wine, fish and shrimp, how rich can they be?" ”

Zhang Guodong was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, because this kind of crime is just one word in Manchukuo law - death.

Qian Sinian looked at Qi Hongyun at this time: "Company Commander Qi, when did you lead the troops to be stationed here?" ”

Qi Hongyun said uprightly: "Report to the chief!" Less than a day after I arrived in Langang County, the company commander who had been stationed here had already been transferred, so I had no idea about the opium poppy cultivation in Hongtutun. ”

Qian Sinian said: "I believe you don't know, but I also believe that if there is no such operation, you will be pulled into the water sooner or later." ”

Qi Hongyun was silent, in fact, he was secretly glad in his heart, because if nothing happened to Hongtutun, and he was transferred here to garrison, then it would indeed be a matter of time before he was dragged into the water.

Qian Sinian slapped the table: "Pass my order, prepare the car, and rush to Hongtutun immediately." ”

Qi Hongyun asked, "Everyone?" ”

"We went to 10 people in the secret search department, you and Director Zhang walked with the guard platoon, and the large army stayed at Langang Station." Qian Sinian said and took the clothes handed by the spy, "Director Zhang, if you want to atone for your sins, be honest with me along the way, otherwise, I can kill you halfway." ”

Zhang Guodong, whose face was covered with sweat, stood up and said: "Yes!" ”
