When the gendarmerie began to make some moves, Ono had not yet returned to the consulate. Fujii Shou's execution has always been praised by the commanders of the Japanese military department, and as soon as the front foot of the car in which Ono Midai was riding drove into the door of the consulate, the military police who came to arrest and arrest the arrest had already arrested the three suspects mentioned on the list from various offices.

She passed by one of them, who was an office clerk in charge of appropriations in the finance department, a Chinese young man, a native of Binhai, with a lively temperament, and every time he saw her, he would take the initiative to greet her with a smile on his face.

Midai Ono sideways in the corridor to make way for him and the gendarmes, and asked casually, "What's wrong with him?" ”

A gendarme snapped up and replied to her in heavy Japanese: "Using the power in his hands to use the funds of the consulate for external purposes, it is suspected that he will help the underground organization in Yan'an." ”

The man struggled under the hostage of two gendarmes and shouted, "Secretary Ono! I did not betray Consul Sukawa, let alone His Majesty the Emperor! Secretary Ono save me! ”

The gendarme who had just answered slapped him in the face and scolded him in stiff Chinese: "Be honest! ”

The young man was still struggling, trying to look back at her, tears streaming down his face. He worked for the Japanese, and he knew exactly what was waiting for him after being taken away.

"Secretary Ono, please save me!" He cried out, great fear taking over his mind, and gradually began to be speechless, "Help me! I didn't do anything! I was wronged! Help me! ”

Ono turned her head sideways, not looking at how he had been dragged away. She went upstairs to the young man's dwindling roar, and went all the way into the office, where the sound that lingered in her ears was completely gone.

Sukawa was in her office, sitting at her desk, looking through the work she was working on.

Ono stood in the doorway, looking a little dazed. Sukawa Shun saw it, coughed lightly, and pulled her attention over: "Fujii Shou did it?" ”

"Three people were taken from the consulate." Ono Midai walked over, "The consul really thinks they are suspected of collaborating with the enemy?" ”

"I'd be happy to give them their innocence," Sukawa said, "as long as they're really innocent." ”

"You handed the handle to Fujii Shou," Ono whispered, "and he won't give up." ”

"And what else can he do?" Sukawa smiled, "Torture those three staff members by all means to force them to admit that they were indeed collaborators, and then report the results to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...... That's all...... But none of this worked, I just wanted to find something to do for Fujii Shou. ”

Midai Ono stood across the desk, she seemed to hear the heart-rending shouts downstairs again, the Chinese who come here to work all want to live a good life, but the country is so ruined, how can there be a good life for people?

"Those three people are ordinary staff members, do they really have access to the consulate's high-level intelligence?"

Qi Chuan Shun raised his eyes to look at her, smiling, and looking quite relaxed: "Do you suspect that the traitor is in the crowd of people who have access to high-level intelligence?" The first one to be questioned is you. ”

Ono Meidai also hooked the corners of her mouth: "I should be the second, and the first is you." ”

Sukawa Shun laughed heartily, she stood up and patted Ono Meidai lightly on the shoulder: "Meidai should know more about Tan Jun's work, the person who can access our high-level intelligence may not be a traitor, but it has the value of being used by a traitor." ”

"Including you."

Fujii Shou's first round of arrests came to an end, and the names on the list were basically all arrested except for those who fled after hearing the news. The secret services began to interrogate around the clock, wailing and screaming without stopping, and those who could not stand the torture began to confess indiscriminately, dragging people into the water everywhere, and Fujii Shou then arrested new "suspects" based on these unreasonable confessions. The coastal city is in the midst of a bloody storm, everyone is in danger, and no one can sleep peacefully.

Fujii Shou was quite proud of this, and even pretended to sigh in front of Sukawa Shun: "The basket of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants me to be a member of the military department to deal with the aftermath." ”

Before he could figure out why, Tan Jing, the initiator of the list, suddenly shot again. But his action was uncharacteristically not notified to the consulate, but went to Xie Liunian.

Xie Liunian was recuperating at home as always, and Tan Jing's phone call came to the office, and it was Xie Liunian's secretary who picked it up. The secretary recognized this well-known journalist, but he had no good impression of him, and he was tall and indifferent, with a businesslike tone, saying that the director was unwell and was recuperating in his private residence.

Tan Jing asked him to inform Xie Liunian of the phone number of his private house, but the secretary refused, not only refused, but also added in a weird way: "Said that Director Xie only arrests people, and has never asked about the economy, and the reporter wants to interview him, but I am afraid that he is looking for the wrong person." ”

Tan Jing accepted all these ridicules, and was still polite: "Please tell me the phone number of Director Xie's private house, or the address of his private house." ”

The secretary ran out of patience: "Do you have a mirror at hand for a reporter?" ”

I didn't know why, so I replied, "No." ”

"Then find a mirror," the secretary said sarcastically, "presumably the reporter is so busy with official business that he forgets to look in the mirror every day, and he doesn't remember what kind of person he is, so he wants to be the guest of honor in Director Xie's private residence." ”

Tan Jing was silent for two seconds and then buckled the phone.

The people on the list have all been arrested, and the difference between the two lists has been distinguished by blood and life, and those whose names appeared on the first list but disappeared from the second list began to become particularly conspicuous. Tan Jing took advantage of his convenience in the media to pay attention to the process of Fujii Shou's daily arrest, and this bloody storm has been set off to this day, and the certainty can finally be determined.

Therefore, this call must be made, it must be made today, it must be made now, immediately, and it must be called to Xie Liunian, because since Qi Chuanxun does not fully believe in Tan Jing, he will also not fully believe Xie Liunian.

He exhaled softly, picked up the microphone, and began dialing another call. On the other end of the phone was a deputy minister of the finance department of the Binhai Authority, who had a personal relationship with him, and was taken aback when he heard him inquire about Xie Liunian's phone call in the middle of the night, and repeatedly asked him what he was doing with Xie Liunian.

Tan Jing piled up a smile on the other end of the microphone, although the other party couldn't see it, but his smile was still getting thicker and thicker, as if he felt that his voice was not kind and gentle enough, and he had to bless it with a smile.

"There is really a very important matter," Tan Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is also related to Minister Hu...... Previously, there was public opinion that Japan was conspiring to extract foreign exchange from the Republic of China, and this public opinion was artificially spread. ”

Minister Hu was taken aback: "Are you sure?" ”

Tan Jing took a breath: "Confirm, I have found the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

He finally dialed the phone number of Xie Liunian's private house, it was already 1:40 in the morning, there was a girl on the other end of the phone, Tan Jing reported her name, but the girl hesitated: "The master has fallen asleep, if the gentleman has anything important, you can tell me first, and I will report it to him tomorrow." ”

The number given to him by Vice Minister Hu was not a confidential phone number that went directly to Xie Liunian's bedroom, and I think this Hu Bu was not qualified to get Xie Liunian's confidential phone. Tan Jing watched the second hand of the pocket watch pass by one frame, and his heart became more and more anxious, he couldn't control his emotions at all, and roared into the microphone.

Xie Liunian's voice came from the microphone at this time, he had never seen Tan Jing so angry, and teased him: "It really scares me, talk about reporters." ”

Tan Jing immediately restrained his emotions, as if closing a gate. He coughed, returned to Su Ri's appearance, and said into the microphone: "Director Xie, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep so late, there is really an emergency and I need your assistance." ”

He paused, lowered his voice, and spoke so fast that people couldn't help but be anxious just by hearing this tone: "Is there a clerk named Ming Qiuxi in the Political Security Bureau?" According to credible information, he is now in contact with the military commander at the Countess Bar on Cuihua Road. ”

Xie Liunian's smiling voice immediately turned cold: "Is the news accurate?" ”

Before Tan Jing could answer, Xie Liunian then ordered: "Go and get another telephone, call Jin Xianzhen, the section chief of the Special Operations Section, and ask him to immediately bring someone to the Countess's Bar to arrest Ming Qiuxi and his companions." ”

A female voice answered softly, and then the sound of clackling footsteps faded away. Tan Jing breathed a sigh of relief at this end, and teased Xie Liunian and said: "No wonder Director Xie has not been at work for many years, it turns out that there is a virtuous helper to help strategize." ”

He had already put half of his heart down, but Xie Liunian was still serious: "I'm curious, why didn't the reporter report this matter to Consul Qichuan, but chose to call me?" It shouldn't be easy for you to get my number. ”

Midai Ono once hinted to him outside Sukawa's office, saying that Sushikawa, who reused Tanjing, didn't fully believe him, and even hinted that Tanjing might have something to do with intelligence leaks.

Tan Jing had already guessed that he was going to ask this question before he called Xie Liunian, so he had already prepared a countermeasure: "Does Director Xie want to let Chief Fujii's soldiers rush into the Security Bureau to arrest people?" ”

Xie Liunian was stunned, and the laughter penetrated into Tan Jing's ears through the airwaves. But Tan Jing knew that he wasn't really laughing, he just hadn't thought about the next question.

Sure enough, Xie Liunian spoke again: "Then I want to thank the reporter, it seems that the Chinese take better care of the Chinese." ”

"You and I are both working for Chairman Wang," Tan Jing said immediately, "and colleagues should support each other." ”

Xie Liunian laughed again: "Where is the talking reporter now?" ”

"At home," Tan Jing said, "I wonder if Consul Qichuan will listen to our conversation on the other end." ”

Xie Liunian tapped lightly on the microphone shell a few times: "It's very frank to talk about reporters. ”

"Is it Morse code?" Tan Jing said with a smile, "Director Xie played the piano to the cow, and I don't understand the Morse code." ”

"This is knocked to Consul Qichuan. If she is indeed listening to our conversation. Xie Liunian said, "Talking about reporters, please go to the Security Bureau now, Jin Xianzhen has already sent troops to arrest people, and Yu Fangfei, the chief of the torture department, is waiting for them, since this information is provided by the reporter, then I hope that the reporter can come to the interrogation scene in person." ”
