Chapter 1382 Cao Yu's Intuition
"Bandage it!" Dong Zhengguo ordered.
He glanced at Bi Xiandeng who was being held down by his men.
Bi Xiandeng's wrist was dripping with blood.
He was a very alert person, and although the people from the secret service headquarters only pried open the bolt and entered the door very gently, they still startled Bi Xiandeng.
He pulled out a dagger and tried to resist, but was quickly subdued and his wrist was cut by the dagger in the process.
"Bi Xiandeng?" Dong Zhengguo grabbed Bi Xiandeng's hair and said.
Bi Xiandeng said nothing.
Dong Zhengguo turned his head and Qu Pingjun appeared behind him. Qu Pingjun nodded.
Bi Xiandeng also saw Qu Pingjun, and he immediately understood why he was exposed.
"Traitor! Turncoat! Qu Pingjun, you will not die a good death!" Bi Xiandeng cursed.
Qu Pingjun was too ashamed to speak, and he hung his head, not daring to look at his team leader.
As soon as Dong Zhengguo waved his hand, his men came forward and blocked Bi Xiandeng's mouth with a rag. This was not only to stop Bi Xiandeng from cursing, but most importantly to prevent him from committing suicide.
"take away!"
Men came over immediately, handcuffed Bi Xiandeng behind his back, put a black cloth hood on Bi Xiandeng's head, and immediately took him away.
"Search carefully."
“Try to remember where things are.”
While Dong Zhengguo was instructing his men, he also participated in the search.
According to Qu Pingjun's explanation, Bi Xiandeng has been staying at the Shanghai West Hotel recently.
Based on Dong Zhengguo's understanding of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he knew that its personnel were very rough in their work, and it was impossible for a room that had been lived in for a long time to be cleaned very cleanly.
However, Dong Zhengguo soon frowned because he was surprised to find that there was nothing valuable in the room.
Although the room was messy, as if indicating that the owner led a lazy and sloppy life, the agents searched it carefully for a while but found nothing.
All I found were some newspapers, an ashtray, a few boxes of cigarettes, and a few fruit candies from a drawer.
Dong Zhengguo went up and flipped through the newspapers. They were all recent newspapers and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
"Take all these things away." Dong Zhengguo ordered, "Leave two people to guard."
Although sitting back and waiting is a stupid method, it can often yield rewards on the intelligence battlefield.
"Yes."
……
No. 76, Jisfield Road.
"Report to the director, the person has been caught." Dong Zhengguo reported the situation to Li Cuiqun.
"Well done." Li Cuiqun said happily.
Li Cuiqun has always had a strong interest in arresting members of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and this is not just due to the emotions under the current hostile situation.
"Although Bi Xiandeng has not been formally interrogated, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Mingchu and Bi Xiandeng secretly met at the Cangzhou Hotel." Li Cuiqun looked at Dong Zhengguo and said, "Team Leader Dong, tell me what you think about this matter."
Dong Zhengguo did not answer the question immediately, he was thinking.
Li Cuiqun did not urge him either.
He admired this former ace agent of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, "First Officer", very much, or rather, he admired him more and more, especially after Tong Xueyong and Tang Wenlao defected from the secret service headquarters, the status of the capable Dong Zhengguo in his heart was even higher.
"I think it's Chongqing that's trying to win over Director Chen," said Dong Zhengguo.
After a pause, he continued, "That woman is most likely a relative of Director Chen, and was sent by Chongqing to persuade him to surrender."
"Chen Mingchu has a younger sister." Li Cuiqun said.
Dong Zhengguo nodded, and that made sense.
The woman with a crying face mentioned by the waiter of Cangzhou Hotel is most likely Chen Mingchu's sister. She was brought to Shanghai by Chongqing to meet Chen Mingchu in order to persuade and win him over.
"Do you think Chen Mingchu has rebelled?" Li Cuiqun asked again.
"It is possible." Dong Zhengguo thought for a moment and said, "It is a fact that Director Chen has had private contact with them."
"Yes." Li Cuiqun nodded.
Just as Dong Zhengguo said, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Mingchu had private contacts with the Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission.
"Okay, go ahead." Li Cuiqun waved his hand, "Pry open Bi Xiandeng's mouth as soon as possible."
"Yes."
After Dong Zhengguo left, Li Cuiqun leaned back and leaned his body on the back of the chair. He picked up a pencil on the table and began to write and draw on a piece of white paper.
When his thoughts are confused, he will choose this method to calm himself down and find clear ideas.
Dong Zhengguo said that it was impossible to rule out whether Chen Mingchu would rebel. After further thought, Li Cuiqun tended to believe that although Chen Mingchu had had contact with the Shanghai branch of the Military Control Commission, it was probably limited to contact and he had not yet been promoted to rebel.
Chen Mingchu died in the assassination incident at the gate of Zhaofeng Club, which to some extent seems to be sufficient evidence that Chen Mingchu is "innocent".
Of course, this was just Li Cuiqun's guess, and he himself was not very sure. What if Chen Mingchu had indeed decided to defect to Chongqing again, and the assassination at the gate of Zhaofeng Club led to Chen Mingchu's death, was it just an accident? In fact, the Military Control Commission was also very sad about this mistake...
Li Cuiqun took a sip of tea and decided to put aside these speculations for the time being.
Now that we have successfully captured Bi Xiandeng, the leader of the first group of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai District Intelligence Department, as long as we pry open this man's mouth, all doubts can be answered more clearly.
……
Cao Yu had a cigarette in his mouth. He scratched his hair and pinched his half ear.
Ever since this ear was heroically injured, it seemed to have damaged its vitality and has been very prone to frostbite since then.
He took a puff of the cigarette, held it between his fingers, a faint smoke coming out of his nose, but his eyes were fixed on the car in the yard downstairs.
The car drove out in the morning and came back about a quarter of an hour ago.
A few minutes later, Cao Yu appeared in the General Affairs Office.
"Director Yan, do you have a spare car?" Cao Yu handed a cigarette to Yan Nanxing, deputy director of the General Affairs Department.
"Team Leader Cao, you know this car is never idle." Yan Nanxing took the cigarette, enjoyed Cao Yu lighting it for him, and then took a puff happily, "Let me know earlier next time you need the car, and I'll keep it for you if you tell me earlier."
"I just saw an empty car in the yard." Cao Yu said with a smile.
"You're so good, Cao Yu. You must have seen a rabbit, so you came to me to borrow ginger and aniseed, right?" Yan Nanxing said pretending to be angry.
Cao Yu laughed happily.
"Wait." Yan Nanxing pointed at Cao Yu. As he spoke, he opened the filing cabinet, took out a vehicle registration form, and handed it to Cao Yu. "Sign here."
"Okay." Cao Yu said with a smile. He took off the pen from his body, wrote his name, then raised his wrist to look at the time, and noted the time on it, accurate to the minute.
After getting the car keys from Yan Nanxing, Cao Yu left contentedly.
In his heart, he was secretly thinking:
Just now, he saw the car usage record on the car registration form -
The car in the yard that had just been brought back was used by Dong Zhengguo's action team.
What action is this returning?
Caught the person and came back?
Cao Yu went downstairs, walked straight to the car, opened the door, started the ignition, and drove out skillfully.
After passing through the bustling streets, the car came to a secluded road. Cao Yu parked the car on the side of the road. He got out of the cab, then walked around to the right door, opened the door to block some of the view, and then opened the gate to release the water.
After finishing peeing, Cao Yu glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention. Then he yawned, as if he was going to get in the car to rest.
Soon, Cao Yu found a few drops of blood on the carpet in the back seat.
This is fresh blood, or to be more precise, quasi-fresh blood.
It seems that Dong Zhengguo did capture someone from outside.
Is it the Central Bureau of Investigation?
Military rule?
Red party?
Or other anti-Japanese forces?
Cao Yu's expression was serious and worried.
There was too little information for him to make any further judgement.
However, one thing can be proved, that is, Dong Zhengguo was appointed by Li Cuiqun to investigate the assassination incident of Zhaofeng General Association.
Does this mean that the fresh bloodstains in the car and the person who may have been captured by Dong Zhengguo for interrogation are related to the assassination incident at the Zhaofeng General Association?
Regarding the assassination of Zhaofeng General Association, there is now basically a unified understanding within No. 76:
This must have been done by the Military Control Commission.
So, there is a high probability that the person arrested by Dong Zhengguo is related to the Military Control Commission?
……
Seven or eight minutes later, Cao Yu drove his car through an alley.
He got out of the car, found the telegraph office and made a phone call.
Then half an hour later, when the car passed an intersection, he slowed down and someone quickly opened the door and got in.
"How did you drive out?" Comrade Lei Zhiming asked.
"There is an emergency and we need a car." Cao Yu said.
He briefly told Comrade Lei Zhiming his suspicions and speculations.
"Your judgment is that the arrested person might be a member of the Military Control Commission?" Comrade Lei Zhiming asked.
"I tend to lean towards this possibility," Cao Yu said, "but we can't rule out the possibility that it was someone from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and we can't rule out the possibility that our comrades were arrested."
"I understand what you mean. I will arrange an investigation." Lei Zhiming said.
"Why do you need to see me so urgently? What's the matter?" Cao Yu asked.
"Cheng Qianfan got a batch of weapons and ammunition, about—" Lei Zhiming said, "about five reinforced platoons of Type 38 rifles, Japanese-style Nambu pistols, as well as a number of grenades, medical supplies, etc."
"What is he doing all this for? Reselling arms and medical supplies?" Cao Yu asked in surprise. He frowned as he spoke. "However, according to my understanding, although Cheng Qianfan is still involved in the smuggling of weapons and ammunition, most of the goods he has are weapons that were originally in the hands of the Kuomintang army."
He said to Lei Zhiming, "Most of those weapons were discarded by the Kuomintang army when they evacuated Songhu. Cheng Qianfan sent people to collect them and then smuggled and resold them."
"The weapons and ammunition of the five reinforced platoons, Type 38 rifles, and Nambu pistols. The intelligence is reliable." Lei Zhiming said.
His throat was a little inflamed, and he couldn't help coughing a few times. "The intelligence we received is that this batch of weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies was used by Wang Tianhai to bribe Li Mingzuan, the commander of the First Division of the Pacification Army of the Nanjing Reform Government."
"Is Wang Tianhai preparing to take action against Liang Hongzhi's people?" Cao Yu asked. He asked and answered himself, "According to the date, Wang Tianhai and his gang will soon carry out the so-called return of the capital to Nanjing. They are planning to make arrangements in Nanjing in advance."
"Is the organization planning to take this batch of weapons and ammunition?" he asked Lei Zhiming.
"The team is extremely short of weapons and ammunition. Even without mentioning weapons and ammunition, the medical supplies are even more urgently needed by the team." Lei Zhiming nodded and said, "The provincial party committee means that we should find a way to figure out the transportation route of this batch of supplies and see if there is any way to rob them."
"Aren't the people from the Wang Puppet Government responsible for the transportation?" Cao Yu asked.
"No." Lei Zhiming shook his head. "According to reliable intelligence, this batch of weapons and supplies will be shipped to Nanjing under Cheng Qianfan's personal name."
He said to Cao Yu, "The New Year is coming soon. This is the New Year gift Cheng Qianfan prepared for Li Ming."
"So, the organization suspects that these weapons and supplies should be secretly transported to Nanjing through Jiujiu Trading's transportation lines?" Cao Yu asked.
"This is the initial judgment made by me and some comrades from the provincial party committee." Lei Zhiming nodded and said, "So, the organization hopes that you can secretly investigate this matter and try to find out the transportation route of the New Year goods that Cheng Qianfan gave to Li Mingzan."
After a pause, Lei Zhiming added, "It would be best if we could also find out the situation of the security forces of Jiujiu Trading escorting the goods."
Cao Yu did not answer Lei Zhiming immediately.
He thought for a moment and asked a question, "I want to know why the organization is so sure that this batch of goods is transported by 'Jiujiu Trading'?"
"This is mainly my judgment." Lei Zhiming said, "Since it is in the name of New Year's goods given by Cheng Qianfan to Li Mingzan, then it is most appropriate to use Cheng Qianfan's 'Jiujiu Trading' to transport this batch of weapons and supplies."
He said to Cao Yu, "In addition, the organization has analyzed the possible contacts between Cheng Qianfan and Li Mingzuan, and judged that Cheng Qianfan made friends with Li Mingzuan, and he should also be considering expanding his business in the direction of Nanjing."
"So, the reason for this judgment is that Cheng Qianfan went to Nanjing through Jiujiu Commercial Transport, which was equivalent to putting Jiujiu Commercial in touch with Li Mingzuan." Cao Yu asked thoughtfully.
"Yes." Lei Zhiming said, he noticed Cao Yu's tone, "Why? Is there a problem?"
"It's hard to say." Cao Yu shook his head. "I can't explain this feeling either. My intuition tells me that Cheng Qianfan may not necessarily use Jiujiu Commerce's transportation line."
Lei Zhiming frowned, "Just tell me what you want to say. I'll take it as a reference."
"First, a question." Cao Yu asked, "Where did Cheng Qianfan get such a large number of Japanese military standard weapons?"
He said to Lei Zhiming, "Comrade Red-crowned Crane, it is very important to understand Cheng Qianfan's shipping route."
