Abnormal Human Encyclopedia Press: From this case, the legendary journey of the East China Special Case Team began

Secret drawings

One noon at the turn of the summer and autumn of 1949, Jiao Yunjun, head of the Taishan Intelligence Group of the Social Department of the East China Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, who was on a business trip in Suzhou, received a notice from his superiors asking him to return to Shanghai as soon as possible and arrive at the social department of the East China Bureau before 3 p.m.

Since the establishment of the Social Department of the East China Bureau three years ago and Jiao Yunjun was appointed as the head of the Taishan Intelligence Group, this situation of being urgently recalled while going out on a mission has only been encountered once. It was November 1948, and he was engaged in secret work in Nanjing, which had not yet been liberated, when he suddenly received an urgent notice from the Nanjing Underground Party Secret Transportation Station, asking him to go to Hangzhou quickly. When he arrived in Hangzhou, he had just gotten off the bus and had not yet left the long-distance bus station, and he received a train ticket from a local underground traffic officer disguised as a hawker, which made him go straight to Shanghai without stopping. After arriving in Shanghai, I learned that according to the order of Yang Fan, vice minister of the Ministry of Social Affairs, we had collected intelligence in Shanghai in an all-round way, and the Taishan Intelligence Group was one of several intelligence groups dispatched to Shanghai by the Social Department of the East China Bureau. In this way, the intelligence group led by Jiao Yunjun carried out secret work in Shanghai until the liberation of Shanghai.

So, what happened to the emergency recall this time? Jiao Yunjun couldn't guess it, and he still had some emotions. He had been in Suzhou for three days, had just sorted out some clues about the case at hand, and was preparing to conduct a comprehensive investigation, but he had such an urgent order. There was no way, the order had to be carried out unconditionally, so he had to go back to his hometown and appeared in front of the leader at three o'clock in the afternoon. The leader did not have any explanation, but gave Jiao Yunjun an address, asking him to report before seven o'clock that night, and repeated care must not be late. However, before leaving the door, the leader was instead of the stereotypical and serious treatment of the subordinates, and even made an exception to shake hands with Jiao Yunjun. With Jiao Yunjun's cleverness, he immediately captured a message from this seemingly careless movement: he may have been mobilized, and this grip is farewell.

At that time, New China had been founded, and most of the underground parties in the past had become "above-ground parties", no longer had to disguise their identities, and some of them also wore military uniforms or police uniforms, but for secret workers such as Jiao Yunjun, they still had no connection with military uniforms or police uniforms. Out of the need to deal with the infiltration and sabotage of hostile forces, their situation has basically not changed, and every move must be careful, otherwise, once the identity is exposed, it may lead to irreparable serious consequences.

At 7:00 p.m., Jiao Yunjun disguised himself as a trader and arrived at a secret contact point on Hongqiao Road in the western suburbs of Shanghai by the Social Department of the East China Bureau. Soon, six more men came in, tall or short, fat or thin, but all had one thing in common, that is, they were not good-looking, and they would definitely not attract attention in public.

At seven o'clock, the new leader appeared in front of everyone on time. The leader, Jiao Yunjun, had met before, but had never dealt with him. Jiao Yunjun was about the rank of deputy battalion (not yet graded at the time), and this leader was from the Red Army, and was already a division chief equivalent to the brigade level. The leader's memory was amazing, he didn't ask anything at all, and when he entered the door, he said the names and positions of the seven subordinates. When Jiao Yunjun listened, he was almost the same as his own qualifications. The leaders then announced that a new task force had been formed by these people present and that a team leader and deputy team leader had been appointed.

So, what kind of case is it that deserves such a great deal of excitement from the Social Department of the East China Bureau?

First, foreign beauties make friends with xiao fu three

Hongzhen Old Street in the North Sichuan Road District was called "Poor Street" by the street at the time of the first liberation, and the economic situation of most residents in that area can be imagined. In such a place, it is natural to be used as a stronghold by beggars and poor people, and some teenagers in the poor streets can't afford to read books, so they follow the beggars and the beggars all day long. Because of their poor families, these teenagers were usually malnourished, their faces were almost the same as those of beggars, and their clothes were patched and dirty. People who do not know the details at first glance can easily confuse such teenagers with beggars and misery. The occurrence of this case is due to the misunderstanding of a foreign beauty in this regard.

There is a family of workers in Hongzhen Old Street, the man's surname is Qin, a forger in a private iron factory, and his wife's surname is Wang, who works as a car blocker in a textile factory. The couple had been married for more than ten years and had eight children, who had poor medical conditions and a relatively low survival rate for babies, but the eight children had survived individually. Although it is a dual-career family, its life is stretched because of its low income and too many mouths to eat.

  The nine-year-old boy who caused the misunderstanding of the foreign beauty was the fourth among the children of the Qin family, the big name Qin Yongjin, and the small name Ah Sitou. Ah Sitou grew to nine years old, has not been stained with new clothes, wearing the above three "light hammers" (Shanghainese, that is, "bald heads", referring to boys) wear the rest of the clothes, the degree of shabbiness can be imagined; and because the ragged clothes are not resistant to washing, so as little as possible to get wet, its degree of dirt can also be imagined. Although he had never been to school, Ah Sitou was active, his IQ was higher than that of children of the same age, he could read a second-grade Chinese textbook from the beginning to the end, and the topics in the arithmetic textbook were also calculated like flying - this was what he squated outside the classroom when he went to the primary school playground to play. Ah Si tou also has a specialty - good at storytelling. No matter where there is hilarity, as long as he lets him see it, he can clearly explain the core of the event, the scene scene and even the dialogue of the characters after he goes back. In this way, he also became a "newscaster" among his friends.

On August 27, Ah Sitou told a group of his friends another piece of news. The news this time is different from the past, the protagonist of the story is himself, and the story itself is even more incredible - a foreign beauty invited him to the Old City God Temple "Lepu Tea House" for morning tea tomorrow morning. As soon as this word came out, the friends all thought that Ah Sitou was bragging. Ah Sitou was questioned by his friends, and his self-esteem was quite hurt, so he slapped the boy who shouted the hardest. Although the child's size was larger than Ah Si-headed, he was not Ah Si-headed's opponent, and after only a few moments of fighting, he fell to the ground and cried. At this point, the other children were out of place and surrounded together. Ah four heads and two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and suddenly fell behind. When they were being beaten, his two brothers, Ah Ertou and Ah Santou, were just passing by when they picked up cinders and went home, and when they saw the situation, they joined the battle group without saying a word. A boy who was beaten by the other party rushed home to call someone, and saw that it was about to cause a fight with adults participating, fortunately, he was seen by xiao Li, a household registration policeman, and immediately stopped drinking. Asking about the reason, I heard that a foreign girl asked Ah Sitou to go to morning tea tomorrow, and I couldn't help but be shocked.

At that time, this kind of thing was bound to attract the attention of the police, and Xiao Li pondered for a moment and took Ah Sitou to the police station. Ah Sitou repeatedly stated that this matter was definitely not made up by him -

This morning, Ah Sitou was punished by his mother for being naughty, and he had to go outside hungry. Usually mixed with Hanako, he was very familiar with begging, and stopped in front of a teahouse on Linping Road. He was waiting to go inside to ask the tea guest for some snacks to fill his hunger when someone stopped him. Looking back, it was a foreign woman. Foreign women have seen A Sitou, but they are all dressed up in flowers and greenery, usually with a strong smell of perfume, and their mouths are twittering and grunting foreign languages. However, the foreign woman who summoned Ah Sitou at this moment was a different kind of person.

The woman looked younger and more beautiful, with long wavy hair tied into a ponytail hanging behind her head, but dressed in a very popular way, light blue labor cloth pants and beige fine canvas top, and did not spray perfume. What surprised Ah Sitou even more was that the other party could also speak fluent Shanghainese, calling Ah Sitou "Little Brother", and handed over two burnt cakes first. When Ah Si tou nibbled on the cake, the foreign beauty asked his name and family situation, and Ah Si Tou answered one by one. Then the foreign beauty asked him if he had ever been to the Old City God Temple. A four-headed said he had been there. So, have you tasted the dim sum of the Old City God Temple's "Lepu Tea House"? This, Ah Si's head only shook his head.

"Well, tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, I will be waiting for you at the door of the 'Lepu Tea House' of the Old City God Temple, and I will invite you to eat morning tea, and all kinds of snacks will let you eat enough." Saying, the foreign beauty took out a two-thousand-yuan note (this is the old version of the renminbi, the exchange ratio with the new version of the renminbi is 1:10,000, the same below) and put it in the hands of Ah Sitou, "This is the money for your car, how to ride know?" ”

Seeing that Ah Sitou nodded, the foreign beauty said "bye-bye" and turned away. Just after taking a few steps, I was stopped by Ah Sitou's "aunt", which turned out to be asking her what her name was. The foreign beauty smiled: "Your child is really smart, just call me Aunt Mary." ”

After saying the past, Ah Sitou took out the two-thousand-yuan note from his dirty pants pocket and showed it to the household registration police to prove that his statement was not made up. Household registration police officer Xiao Li thought that this matter was somewhat abnormal, and what was the reason why the blonde "Aunt Mary" was so kind to Ah Sitou, who looked like a beggar? Is it pure good, or is there another intention? If it is the latter, why would a child from such a poor family as Ah Sitou be interested in him, and still be a foreigner? Xiao Li immediately reported the situation to du Xinhan, the director of the police station, who had the same view as Xiao Li. In this way, the police station will have to follow up and investigate the matter.

Director Du asked Ah Sitou to go to the appointment on time the next morning, and at the same time assigned a middle-aged police officer Lao Cao, who was old and heavy, to change into civilian clothes and also go there to eat morning tea, monitor the scene situation, and protect Ah Sitou. In addition, the police Xiao Li and Xiao Wang were sent to wait near the scene and wait for "Aunt Mary" to leave the tea house to follow up. How to proceed further, until you find the foothold of "Aunt Mary", before making a plan.

The next day was Sunday, Lao Cao, Xiao Li, and Xiao Wang arrived at the Old City God Temple before 7 o'clock according to the arrangement of the leaders, one entered the "Lepu Tea House", and the other two wandered around the Area of the Jiuqu Bridge near the Tea House. After Lao Cao entered the tea house, he first went upstairs and downstairs for a circle, did not see A Sitou or "Aunt Mary", chose a position on the ground floor suitable for observing the doorway and the staircase, and after taking a seat, he asked for a pot of tea and two snacks, while eating while waiting for the target. However, after waiting for half an hour, it is not strange that neither A Sitou nor "Aunt Mary" appeared? Talking to Ah Sitou well, why did this boy disappear? After waiting for a while, the two outside were already impatient, probing their brains at the door, and Lao Cao decided to close the team.

Back in the old street of Hongzhen, Xiao Li did not even return to the police station, and directly ran to the old Qin family. Entering the door, there were seven or eight children gathered in the small courtyard, and they were reaching out for food around Ah Sitou. Looking at it, this boy actually bought a dozen brittle twist flowers, packed them in a cardboard box, and each person was given one. Seeing the household registration police, the children scattered with twist flowers. Ah Sitou handed the carton forward and said Uncle Li, you also have one. Xiao Li naturally became angry and sunk his face: "Follow me!" ”

It turned out that this boy had gone to the Old City God Temple to make an appointment, but he did not enter the tea house, and met with "Aunt Mary" in front of a nearby incense candle shop. The other party seemed to know that he would pass in front of the incense candle shop, and waited there in advance, and when he saw ah sitou coming, he greeted him and said to follow me. Came to the door of the "old hotel", "Aunt Mary" said that I have visited the tea house, there are too many people, to wait for the seat, just eat noodles here, and small steamed buns. When eating early, Ah Sitou finally understood the intention of the other party to treat him like this——

Three days ago, in the evening, Ah Sitou carried a large rat clip made by his father and went to a nearby elementary school to place it, hoping to catch weasels. This primary school is relatively simple, the walls and gates are made of bamboo, and there are no valuable items in it, so there is never a janitor. At this time, the school had not yet opened, and the bamboo fence had already demolished several holes for naughty little devils like Ah Sitou, who could enter and exit at any time. Ah Sitou set up a rat clip and was preparing to leave, when he overheard someone talking nearby, stopped and looked around, only to see three teenagers who were five or six years older than him, sneaking into a classroom. Although the four heads were young, but their social experience was very rich, they realized that these three must be strange, so they crept closer.

Three guys in the house were drinking beer, and there were a few packets of brine on the table. The three of them ate and drank while talking. After listening for a while, Ah Sitou finally understood that they had just stolen a leather bag and bought these wines and dishes with some of the money in it, and were discussing how to divide the loot. Ah Sitou pondered, according to the rules of the jianghu, those who see it have a share, they should give it to me. So he coughed and entered the classroom in a big way. The three of them were taken aback, and when they saw that they were just children, they scolded. Ah Si Tou said, don't scold people first, listen to what I say, I Ah Si Tou you definitely don't know, but You have always heard of Qin Dali in Hongzhen Old Street, right? That's my dad!

Qin Dali was tall and powerful, and had practiced boxing and kicking when he was young, and it was said that the master was the martial artist Wang Ziping, who was a bit famous around the old street of Hongzhen. The three teenagers were originally going to send this uninvited guest a few "ma chestnuts" (Shanghainese, that is, using the knuckles to hit the brain door), and when they heard that this was the son of Qin Dali in front of them, they did not dare to take the risk and invited Ah Sitou to sit down and drink. Ah Sitou could not drink, so he tasted the four brine dishes on the table one by one, and then said that his brother had resigned, do you have anything to say to me? Hey, I can hear what you just said. With this said, the three teenagers had no choice but to "break the fee", discuss for a moment, and give the empty leather bag nailed with the foreign nameplate to Ah Sitou.

The next day, Ah Sitou secretly took the family's household registration book and went to the Huaihai Road thrift store to sell the leather bag, and got 100,000 yuan of banknotes. He didn't expect to be able to sell such money, but he didn't dare to use it, and he didn't dare to say anything and secretly hide it at home. Now, "Aunt Mary" came to him for this matter, she said that the purse was hers, it was stolen, and now she came to find Ah Si tou, not to settle the account, but to know who stole it, and how the purse got into Ah Si Tou's hand. "Aunt Mary" promised that if she told the truth, she could give Ah Sitou some money. Ah Sitou was naturally moved, but offered to give money first. "Aunt Mary" took out a fifty thousand yuan bill and handed it to him, and Ah Si tou gave out what she knew and what she knew. Of course, Ah Si tou did not know the three teenagers who stole the bag, and only said what they looked like.

The information provided by Ah Sitou made the police more interested. In that era, not to mention the police, even the strings of the struggle against the enemy in the minds of ordinary people were very tight. Director Du listened to Xiao Li's report and believed that it must be paid full attention to, and it would be better to suspect that it was wrong than to easily let go of this doubt. After reporting to the sub-bureau, the sub-bureau leaders also believed that it must be taken seriously, and immediately assigned two public security police officers, Lao Lin and Lao Fang, to assist in the investigation. Lao Lin and Lao Fang met with Xiao Li at the police station, studied a little, and thought that they should first try to find the three teenagers who stole the purse.

Since the three teenagers chose the dilapidated primary school in Hongzhen Old Street as a place to share the loot after committing the crime, it shows that they are not strangers to Hongzhen Old Street. Moreover, as soon as Ah Sitou reported the name of his father Qin Dali after he appeared, they softened, which showed that they knew about Old Qin's situation. Xiao Li is more familiar with the security situation within the jurisdiction of the Hongzhen Laojie Police Station, and grew up in this area, and has a good idea of which bad teenagers in the area, and has no such role in his impression.

Lin and Fang are both old policemen who have been retained, and it is said that they are more familiar with the security situation in the sub-bureau's jurisdiction, but that is the old yellow calendar. Although the liberation of Shanghai has only been more than three months, the changes in the objects of public security control have been tremendous, and some of the gang figures and hooligans in the past have been arrested and some have even been shot; the other part has fled with oil on the soles of their feet and does not know where to go; the rest, intimidated by the power of the people's government, have honestly stayed at home and dare not show their faces. Even so, the security situation did not improve significantly, and the old outlaws disappeared, but there were immediately substitutes, such as the teenagers that Ah Sitou met in elementary school. Lin and Fang did not know much about such roles, so they proposed to go to the substation to go through the records of the recent theft reports.

After this investigation, it was found that in the records of the loss in the past two months, many owners mentioned that there were suspicious teenagers around the stolen area, and seven of them were described in line with the physical characteristics of the above three teenagers. Looking at the dynamic briefing prepared by the third group of the sub-bureau's public security department specializing in the investigation of theft cases, I finally found that a teenager named Liu Puppy seemed to be one of them. In the evening of the same day, when Liu Xiaodog was wandering on Linping Road near his home, he was stopped by Xiao Li and Lao Lin and brought into the substation. A bad boy who is the opponent of three policemen, Liu Puppy obediently admitted to stealing the bag.

It was August 25, and he and two friends, Xu Jingen and Zhang Youbao, went to Nanjing Road to hang out, of course, the main purpose was to "catch rabbits." "Catch the rabbit" is tied to the beach underworld incision, which means stealing bags. This "bag" refers not only to the wallet, but also to travel bags, handbags, kun bags, and packages of varying sizes directly wrapped in various colors of cotton. This modus operandi is very technical, you only need to find the target tracking, take advantage of the opportunity to buy goods or do other things to put the bag aside, go over and quietly carry it away, if there is an accomplice next to the "gun fence" (that is, cover), it is basically a quasi.

Liu Puppy Three are the chicks who only taught themselves to make their debut after the liberation of Shanghai, and want to take the evil road of getting rich, but they have no skills, so they only have to "catch rabbits". Unexpectedly, after more than two months of hard work, let alone twenty rounds. It's just that the fortune is average, and the stolen bags have few cash in them, and there is no jewelry. On the 25th, which was the best lucky day since their debut, Liu Xiaodog stared at a flat-headed man in his forties at the radio counter on the third floor of Yong'an Company, who was concentrating on buying a radio, and signaled Xu Jingen and Zhang Youbao to go forward to "curiously wait and see" to distract the target's attention, and he took this opportunity to succeed in one fell swoop.

It is a rectangular brown leather bag with a carry on the lid and a strap on the ridge on both sides, which can be carried or carried. Liu Puppy immediately went downstairs after getting his hands on it, went out to take off the foreign noodle bag tied to his waist, wrapped the skin in it, and went straight to the Bund in one breath. After a while, Xu Jingen and Zhang Youbao also arrived breathlessly. They found a hidden corner to open the leather bag to see, they were surprised and happy, this time it was really a bumper harvest, there were more than 800,000 banknotes! There is also a pocket watch, a delicate hard leather cover book and two brand new handkerchiefs. The three of them bought brine and beer with "booty", and when they walked back through the Hongzhen Old Street Primary School, they said that there was no ghost in this school at night, and it was best to drink there, so they drilled through the hole in the bamboo fence wall. Further down, I met ah sitou.

So, what about the other items in that bag that gave Ah Sitou? Liu Xiaodog said that the banknotes were all divided, and the pocket watch belonged to him because it was his hand; two handkerchiefs, Xu Jingen and Zhang Youbao, each had one piece. As for the book, it seemed useless to these three illiterate teenagers, and it had already been used, and it was both writing and painting, and the writing was all in foreign languages, and no one understood it; the drawings were even more incomprehensible, like houses, and straight curves intertwined with each other. Such a thing, the thrift store is not willing to buy, Liu Xiaodog saw that no one wanted, he took it home and put it away.

At the end of the interrogation, the police immediately went to Liu's house and seized the stolen goods. The pages used in that book were indeed full of English and sketches, like simple outlines of the interior and exterior of the building, and as for the straight lines and curves, they seemed to be sketches of mechanical objects. The book was immediately sent to the leader of the sub-bureau, who turned it over, did not express any opinion, but personally put it into a brown paper file bag, sealed the mouth with a fire paint seal, summoned a confidential correspondent, and sent it to the city bureau immediately. The Municipal Bureau received this book, did not delay, and immediately delivered it to the Social Department of the East China Bureau. Subsequently, Jiao Yunjun and seven other people were urgently dispatched to form this special task force.

Second, follow the lost target

The leader introduced the case, looked at the watch, it has been more than an hour, let everyone take a break, go outside to breathe, smoke a cigarette. Jiao Yunjun, who had long been addicted to smoking, was secretly lamenting that the leader was sympathetic to his subordinates, when he heard the leader say, "Comrades Jiao Yunjun and Hao Zhenru, the leaders and deputy leaders of the group, please stay a little," and had to sigh darkly. The other five investigators knew that the leader was deliberately separating everyone and had another explanation for the two group leaders, so they quickly pulled out their legs and left.

While the leader was drinking water, Jiao Yunjun secretly looked at Hao Zhenru who was left behind. The newly appointed deputy leader of the task force looked two or three years older than himself, about one meter and seven meters, with a somewhat thin figure, wearing a pair of brown tortoiseshell frame glasses, good facial features, and no expression on his face. Jiao Yunjun secretly wondered, this old man does not know what the way is coming, looking at his appearance, he is quite suitable for doing political work in the army, and he is a regimental political commissar and director of the political department. Thinking about it, that is too much to lift him, I joined the revolution in 1940, and now he is just a deputy battalion, can he do the right thing?

While he was thinking about it, the leader opened his mouth and said that there was another appointment within the party, and the reason why it had not been announced just now was because one of the seven members of the special case group was not a party member, and although it was liberated at present, the party organization had not yet carried out public activities, so it was not appropriate to talk about party affairs in the presence of non-party members. The specific appointment is that Comrade Hao Zhenru will serve as the secretary of the party branch of the special case group. Jiao Yunjun listened and felt that he guessed quite accurately, and this benevolent brother was indeed suitable for political work. However, a special case group also has to set up a party branch, which has never been heard of before...

At this time, the leaders finally got to the right point and revealed a situation that was inappropriate to disclose at the plenary meeting: the contents of the book handed over to the Social Department of the East China Bureau involved an important mission issued by the central authorities to Shanghai, the core of which was to build naval ships with the help of Soviet experts to be used to liberate the southeast coastal islands, the Penghu Islands, and Taiwan that were still controlled by the Kuomintang reactionaries. Apparently, the enemy elements have detected our actions and are proceeding to gather relevant information. Not only the leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Social Department of the East China Bureau, but also the leaders of the relevant central departments who received the report were also shocked and called overnight asking the Social Department of the East China Bureau to directly organize a special case team to conduct an investigation, strive to solve the case in the shortest possible time, and cut off the black hand of the enemy elements extending to the work.

Hearing this, a sense of pride rose in Jiao Yunjun's heart: Jiao Yunjun has been participating in the revolution for nearly ten years, has been engaged in intelligence work for seven years, and has never been on such a high-level job; now he is not only on the stall, but also the leader of the special case team! This is the trust of the organization in itself, and it is also a recognition of its past work, but you must not mess up this job, otherwise, don't you regret it for a lifetime?

Then, the leader introduced Jiao Yunjun and Hao Zhenru to each other. At this time, Jiao Yunjun had to look at Hao Zhenru differently—this old man joined the revolution a year and a half earlier than him, worked in the central hunting house of the public concession in his early years, and knew all aspects of the situation in Shanghai. Later, he was arrested for betrayal by traitors, but he was still able to keep the party's secrets under severe torture. After being rescued from prison by the underground party, Hao Zhenru went to the headquarters of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, first engaged in organizational work and then as enemy workers. Such an experience made Jiao Yunjun feel respectful, and quickly got up to shake hands with Hao Zhenru: "Brother is great! Brother admired it! ”

Who knows, Hao Zhenru did not give face at all: "Comrade Jiao Yunjun, the revolutionary ranks call each other comrades, it is not appropriate to call them brothers and brothers." ”

After the leader left, the special case team immediately met to analyze the case. Jiao Yunjun was the leader of the special case team, and when Ren Ren did not let him preside over the meeting, he was quite dissatisfied with Hao Zhenru's "seriousness" just now, so in the opening remarks, he was a little bit unable to get over the meaning of Comrade Hao, the "party leader" and "business deputy" of the special case group, and did not use words such as "comrades" and "comrades-in-arms", but instead carried a strong jianghu atmosphere: "Colleagues, from today onwards, we will stir spoons in a pot, we should be blessed to share, there are difficulties to be taken care of, the heart is thinking in one place, and the strength is to make ..." Seeing that Hao Zhenru was pushing his glasses as if he couldn't bear it, this was the end of the story, "As for the facts of the case, the leader has just given a detailed introduction, what ideas do you have, let's talk about it." ”

Investigator Zhang Baoxian immediately raised questions, and when the leader introduced the case just now, he only said that the book was sent to the Social Department of the East China Bureau, and then there was no follow-up. So, what is to be investigated now? The book is written in English, what is the translated content?

Jiao Yunjun turned his head to look at Lao Hao. Hao Zhenru, still in a tone that was not salty or indifferent, pulled his finger and said three points: First, he found a book that was suspected of being collected by the enemy to collect the contents of our top-secret intelligence; second, this book was stolen by three teenagers; third, it was necessary to find out who owned this book and how the contents on it came from.

Jiao Yunjun secretly wondered, this old Hao is quite good at summarizing, really concise and concise! The investigators present were not laymen, and when they heard that it involved top secrets, no one mentioned the word "book", and when they spoke next, they all used "that thing" to refer to it, only Jiao Yunjun did not think so, and said "book" as usual. Everyone first restored a situation according to the facts of the case explained by the leader --

The carrier of the enemy elements obtaining top-secret intelligence (or clues related to top-secret intelligence) through channels that we have not yet detected is "that thing." The "thing" was placed in a leather bag carried by a middle-aged man, and when he went to The Yong'an Company on Nanjing Road to buy goods, he was stolen by three teenagers who "caught rabbits". When the middle-aged man found that the purse was stolen, he must have panicked, recalling that there had been a teenager walking around him before, expecting that they had stolen it, planning to recover the lost property, at least to chase back the "thing".

The other party (which should be a special group) believes that most of the banknotes in the stolen leather bags will be spent by thieves, and the pocket watches and bags will be sold, and there are two ways to sell, one is to sell legally, that is, to take the family's household registration book to the thrift store; the other is to sell illegally, that is, to take it to the black market to sell the stolen goods. Which way will the three teenagers take? It is estimated that it is the former, because the thief is a teenager, and it is easy to be bullied when going to the black market to sell stolen goods, and eating black will engulf the stolen goods. Therefore, the other party visited the city's thrift stores to find out where the thieves came from. At the state-owned thrift store on Huaihai Road, they found clues (through the original invoice left when buying the bag, the salesman of the thrift store was convinced that the person coming was the original owner of the bag, so as to obtain the basic information of Ah Sitou who went to sell the bag with the family's household registration book). Further down, the other party conducted a peripheral investigation of Ah Sitou, and then assigned someone to contact him in an attempt to obtain the whereabouts of "that thing".

After restoring the above situation, the special case group decided to divide the troops into three roads, and Zhang Baoxian and Sun Shenyan investigated and verified the situation that belonged to reasonable reasoning in the above analysis; Tan Xian and Zhi Fude asked the Huaihai Road thrift store about the situation of those who had recently gone to inquire about the sale of leather bags; Jiao Yunjun and Sha Maolin immediately notified the detention center to release Liu Xiaodui, who was still being detained, and the authorities talked to him, and kept a tight eye on his arrest after he went out. After Liu Puppy left the detention center, investigators began to track him - it is estimated that the enemy side did not know that Liu Puppy had been seized by our side, and they were looking for Liu Puppy and two other teenagers, Xu Jingen and Zhang Youbao. However, even if Xu and Zhang were found, the Yu enemy elements would not help, because the "thing" was brought back by Liu Xiaodog, and xu and Zhang did not know how to deal with it after they were brought back. Therefore, the most urgent thing for the enemy to find should be Liu Puppy. Tracking Liu Puppy may find that he is looking for his enemy elements, and then follow the vine to find clues.

As for Hao Zhenru, deputy head of the special case team, Jiao Yunjun suggested that he sit in the headquarters and sort out the case files. Jiao Yunjun felt that this benevolent brother was thin and highly myopic, and it seemed inappropriate to run on the front line; besides, the full-time material staff of the special case team had not yet come to report, and the work of sorting out the file materials had to be done by someone. As soon as this suggestion was proposed, everyone agreed, and Hao Zhenru also nodded. Finally, Jiao Yunjun asked Hao Zhenru to say a few words. Hao Zhenru habitually pushed the glasses again, saying that he completely agreed with everyone's opinion, that he was the least experienced investigator in the whole group, and that he should learn from everyone, but although he was a layman in the investigation work, he still had to say a layman at this moment. Tracking Liu Puppy is the central point of the current investigation of the case, considering that the enemy may use anti-investigation means, manpower is definitely short, and the task of the first and second groups of four investigators is relatively easy to complete, and his idea is to immediately transfer to the third dial after they complete the task and carry out the tracking mission together.

Before the words could be heard, Jiao Yunjun even said "Takami." After the meeting was adjourned, Hao Zhenru sent the minutes of the meeting to Jiao Yunjun and asked him to look at it. Jiao Yunjun did not turn over the signature, said brother you move really fast, so thick a pile will be scattered on the record, brother I want to learn from you. Hao Zhenru no longer paid attention to Jiao Yunjun's "provocation" and said at a glance: "Comrade Jiao Yunjun, the stall you are responsible for is a key link at this stage, please be careful and cautious. ”

Jiao Yunjun pondered that he had been engaged in intelligence work for many years, and he did not know how many difficulties and obstacles he had broken through in the enemy-occupied areas and under the eyes of the enemy, and would he smash the pot when he was carrying out such a stalking mission at the moment? This old Comrade Hao is really overly worried. Of course, this layer of meaning can only be thought of in the heart, and it is inconvenient to express it in person. Who knows, what Hao Zhenru was worried about really happened——

Liu Puppy had already come out of the detention center before the evening of the same day. Although this boy was young, but fourteen or fifteen years old, he was bold, and after the director of the detention center Weng had talked to him and announced that he would be lenient, he did not have the excitement of the usual detention subjects when he was released, but instead asked the director of weng for a few change with a hippie smile, so as to buy a ticket to take the tram home. Director Weng was angry and funny, and almost slapped him in the face, but since the special case team called to let the boy go home as soon as possible, it was expected that there must be a mystery in it, so he had to pay for it himself (the public did not have this expenditure) to send Liu Puppy away. Liu Did take the tram home, and when he got home, the investigator in charge of surveillance was already in place in the sugar mill opposite his house.

Early the next morning, the first and second groups of four investigators who had completed their mission reported to Jiao Yunjun, and Jiao Yunjun gave them a division of labor, Zhang Baoxian and Zhi Fude entered the surveillance point, and jiao Yunjun, Sun Shenyan, and Tan Xian were replaced at noon. The accident occurred more than two hours after Jiao Yunjun's three men took over.

Liu Puppy has been honestly staying at home last night. The next morning, he was just about to go out for breakfast when two fox dog parties Xu Jingen and Zhang Youbao came. Those two had no idea that Liu Puppy had folded into the innings. Liu Puppy's mother moved out a table (that is, a folding table) and placed it in front of the door, and the three of them sat around the table and chatted with watermelon seeds. When the two of them said goodbye before noon, Jiao Yunjun and the three of them just came to take over.

Liu Puppy was locked up for two days, and after coming out, he hid in the house for a night, and he couldn't help but go outside to relax. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, he left the house and strolled south, with Jiao Yunjun and Sun Shenyan following far away on both sides of the road. It seems that the previous estimates of the special case team were accurate, and the other party had already premeditated Liu Xiaodog, and like the investigators, they were also secretly paying attention to the movements of the Liu family. Liu Puppy did not go far out, just turned an intersection, a royal blue motorcycle suddenly stopped next to him, riding a man in his thirties, flat head, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and light-colored suit shorts, with a pair of huge sunglasses on the high bridge of the nose. He did not come down after stopping, propped himself on one leg to the ground, and said two words to Liu Puppy. Liu Puppy hesitated for a moment and then got on the motorcycle.

The two tracking investigators were naturally anxious, Jiao Yunjun looked around, just saw a green motorcycle delivering telegrams from the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, hurriedly rushed to the road with an arrow step to stop, showed the certificate and shook to the reporter: "The city bureau, borrow it!" ”

The motorcycle carried two people at a high speed, and after a few minutes I finally saw the royal blue motorcycle driving unhurriedly in front of me. Later, when I asked Liu Puppy, I learned that the man driving the car claimed to be assigned by "a wrestling head" to pick up Liu Puppy to sit down, and there was a little thing to talk to him about. "A wrestling head" is a little famous figure in the Hudong region, Liu Xiaodog has always wanted to worship "a wrestling head" as a teacher, learn a few tricks of wrestling means to show off his might, there is no doubt about him at the moment, but he does not know where the "yi wrestling head" family lives, gets on the car, and lets people drive to where to count. The investigators who were tracking behind naturally did not know where the target was going, and Jiao Yunjun, who was driving, secretly prayed that his broken motorcycle of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau would not break anchor halfway.

This followed, followed to the Bund, the royal blue motorcycle on Beijing East Road, and then turned to Huqiu Road to stop, the man wearing sunglasses parked his motorcycle in a lane, and then entered a café thirty meters away from the intersection with Liu Puppy. This café has two facades and two floors, called "Modern Small Restaurant", located in the middle of nowhere, after the liberation of Shanghai, consumers have dropped sharply, and it is not a peak time, so there are not many customers. Sun Shenyan, who followed first, saw that the target had gone upstairs, and he took a seat on a pair of seats on the side of the stairs. Later, Jiao Yunjun stopped the motorcycle and came in. The two asked for coffee and green tea, drinking while waiting for the target to go downstairs.

Sun Shenyan, from the old district of Shandong, came from the armed workers' brigade, and was transferred to work as an investigator when he formed the Shandong Ministry of Social Affairs in 1946. His personality is the same as his name, usually quiet, cautious and cautious in his mouth, and it is normal for no one to talk to him for a day without opening his mouth. At the moment he was sitting there, but his expression was slightly uneasy. Jiao Yunjun looked at it and whispered, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sun Shenyan said that he was a little unsteady in his heart, if this café had a back door, maybe the target slipped through the back door. Jiao Yunjun originally did not know the origin of his subordinate, and when he heard him say this, he guessed that he had only entered the city after the liberation of Shanghai, and he was not familiar with Shanghai. Since Jiao Yunjun secretly infiltrated Shanghai at the end of 1948 to engage in underground intelligence work, he was familiar with the information on the terrain and social conditions of Downtown Shanghai issued by the organization, and had a lot of practical experience, and he was familiar with the places suitable for underground work joints in Shanghai Beach. Due to the geographical location, this "modern small pavilion" was often used as a joint place by the underground party before the liberation of Shanghai, and Jiao Yunjun was very familiar with this place, knowing that there was no back door, he shook his head slightly at Sun Shenyan. Sun Shenyan was relieved and continued to drink tea with his head bowed.

However, after waiting for a while, I did not see the target going downstairs. Jiao Yunjun looked at his watch, he had been in for twenty minutes, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he went out and walked to the alley next door, and only glanced at it, and it was a spirit - the royal blue motorcycle was gone!

Originally, after the liberation of Shanghai, the "modern small restaurant" changed owners, and the new owner changed the structure of the café, opened the back door, connected with the road next to it, and added a narrow escalator to the rear of the second-floor store. The target did not know whether it had been found to have been followed, or for another reason, in short, slipped through the back door!

Third, track down motorcycles

The target was disengaged, and the task force immediately held an emergency meeting. Jiao Yunjun asked Hao Zhenru, deputy group leader, to preside over the meeting, and he himself first made an inspection, saying that he had made the mistakes of "subjectivism" and "empiricism," and demanded that his superiors remove him from his post as the head of the special case team and request punishment. At this time, Sun Shenyan, who was sorry to speak like gold, opened his mouth, saying that he also had a share in this mistake, and even took on more responsibility than The leader of The Jiao Group, because he first tracked the target into the café.

Jiao Yunjun's eyes narrowed: "What are you blindly mixing, you are an ordinary team member, or do you listen to me?" Besides, you thought about the problem of whether the café has a back door, and reminded me that the problem is in my old Jiao! ”

The two were still fighting, but hao Zhenru interrupted: "Don't argue, this matter is decided by the superior leaders, and before the leaders issue instructions, Comrade Jiao Yunjun is still the head of the special case team and should continue to preside over the investigation work." The most important thing at present is not to take responsibility, but to quickly conduct a case analysis to see what to do next. Comrade Jiao Yunjun, please brief the comrades on the situation of the investigation work in this case so far. ”

Jiao Yunjun glanced at Hao Zhenru, secretly thinking that this old Hao looked like a soft and unsolicited look, but he was decisive and crisp in handling things, he was right, the punishment was small at the moment, and solving the case was the top priority. No matter what punishment he gave to Lao Tzu in the future, the work could not be stopped. Therefore, I briefly introduced the current situation to everyone -

Yesterday, investigators Zhang Baoxian and Sun Shenyan verified the special case team's estimate of the facts of the case, which basically conformed to the facts. Another investigator, Zhi Fude and Tan Xian, investigated the Huaihai Road thrift store and learned that a man had indeed come to the door and showed the store an invoice for the purchase of a leather bag before the liberation of Shanghai (November 1948), saying that the bag had been stolen and asking to inquire whether anyone had come to sell it. At his request, the clerk checked the records, did buy such a leather bag, and informed the man of the seller's information - it was through this method that the enemy found Ah Sitou.

After the case was cracked, after the special case team made a written suggestion to the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Municipal Bureau stipulated that the city's used goods (including consignment) industry would not be allowed to disclose the source information to any private person in the future. This provision was persisted in until the state-run used goods industry disappeared after the reform and opening up.

After today's accident, because of the inability to reveal his identity to the café, it was inconvenient to inquire about how long the target had been in the café before leaving, so he could only ask the owner of the cigarette paper shop near the royal blue motorcycle parking place, and learned that the target was to drive the motorcycle away ten minutes ago, only the man wearing sunglasses did not see Liu Puppy. It seems inferred that the target was not found to be being followed, because the investigators stayed in the downstairs store for about twenty minutes, while the target and Liu Puppy stayed upstairs for about ten minutes, indicating that they had a conversation upstairs - it can be understood that the other party has finished what they are going to say to Liu Puppy. If the target finds out that he is being followed, it is said that he will not have the courage to continue to talk to Liu Puppy, and he should take off his tip as soon as possible. The target may have left through the back door just for convenience—the lane where he parked was coming out. But why didn't he just enter the café through the back door when he came? This is not clear.

Although Jiao Yunjun and Sun Shenyan failed to track, they wrote down the license plate number of the royal blue motorcycle, which is a clue that can continue to be investigated. The task force decided that this clue would be investigated by Sha Maolin, Zhi Fude, and Sun Shenyan. As for the question of whether the man in the sunglasses found himself being followed, he could verify with Liu Puppy, and jiao Yunjun, Zhang Baoxian, and Tan Xian were responsible for this matter.

After the meeting, Hao Zhenru asked Jiao Yunjun and Zhi Fude to stay, all three of whom were members of the party branch of the special case group, and they continued to hold a branch meeting. Due to the tight time, it was mainly Hao Zhenru who spoke up and severely criticized Jiao Yunjun for tracking down the failure. Jiao Yunjun pondered that this was "the carpenter wearing a shackle - self-inflicted", with nothing to say, only listening. However, Lao Hao was completely reasonable, and he was convinced. Finally, Hao Zhenru wrote a report of more than 100 words on the spot, saying that he would report it in the name of the party branch of the special case group, and after writing it, he asked Jiao Yunjun and Zhi Fude to look at it, and if there were different opinions, they could put forward different opinions. Zhi Fude looked at it and expressed complete agreement, but Jiao Yunjun put forward a different opinion.

It turned out that Hao Zhenru actually took the main responsibility for detachment on himself in his report - because he was the secretary of the branch and the deputy leader of the group, he failed to emphasize the careful and cautious treatment of problems in every link of the work when dividing the work. Jiao Yunjun insisted on taking responsibility for himself, and Hao Zhenru said that you can reserve your opinion, but Comrade Zhifude and I support this decision, and the minority obeys the majority, so let's report it according to this content. Jiao Yunjun had to do so, but at the end of the report, he wrote his reservations, put down his pen and then pondered, don't look at the old Hao White Face Book, but it is very moralistic.

Next, Jiao Yunjun immediately went to work, and Zhang Baoxian and Tan Xian quietly summoned Liu Puppy through the police station. According to this teenager, he was deceived by the man wearing sunglasses in the morning on the grounds of "a wrestling head" as an invitation, and after coming to the café near the Bund, the other party did not talk about "a wrestling head", but put a bill of twenty thousand yuan in front of him, saying that as long as the truth is told, this banknote will belong to you, and refuse to tell the truth.

Characters like Liu Puppy, stubborn since childhood, beaten, fighting, deceived, deceived is a common thing, if the other party's set is used on other peers, it will work one hundred percent, but he did not take it seriously, nodded, reached out and put the banknote into his pocket, and asked Uncle What do you want me to tell the truth? The other party said that you stole a bag from someone else, and now people want to settle accounts with you, do you say that it is public or private? If you are public, people will twist you to the police station, if it is private, then honestly hand over the stolen goods.

Liu Puppy pondered, but also public and private, Lao Tzu has been in court for this matter for two days, the government did not say let me quit the stolen goods, but confiscated the book. However, this cannot be said, when the detention center was released yesterday, the director of the detention center repeatedly explained that if he revealed a little bit of tone, he would not be able to discuss re-imprisonment, and he might even send Tilanqiao to prison. So how do you tell the other person? This is not a difficult thing for Liu Puppy, and he opened his mouth and said, "Naturally it is best to be private, but I have difficulties." As you may know, we are three people under the hands, everything in it has been divided, the money has been spent almost, now let us return to the people, you say this is possible? ”

"The money is spent, but what about the other things?"

"The pocket watch was also sold."

"And that book?"

"That book... It seems that I put it in the middle of nowhere, but I don't know if I can find it. ”

The other party suddenly looked fierce and lowered his voice: "Must be found!" Leave the book intact and someone can give you a sum of money. Otherwise, when the 'one-headed' picks you up, it will be too late to regret it! ”

Liu Xiaodog still has some reverence for the "one wrestling head", in case the other party is really sent by the "one wrestling head", he can't afford to offend. So he said, "Either... I went back to look for it. However, we have a word first, if you find it, you can't give too little money, this is not to send Hanako. Otherwise, you will simply go public, and I will admit that I will be sent to the public security bureau. ”

"That's it, tomorrow at this time, you'll still be waiting for me at the place where you got on the bus today." At the end of the speech, the other party beckoned the waiter to check out, and gave the changed he found to Liu Puppy.

Coincidentally, at this time, the two waiters were moving the table to wipe the skylight, blocking the stairs leading to the store on the ground floor, and the man could not help but frown when he saw it. The boss who was directing the work pointed to the balcony and said that there were also stairs and could take the back door. The two left through the back door and broke up in the alley.

After Liu Puppy finished speaking, Jiao Yunjun and the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the target did not find himself being followed, and this work can continue to be done. He instructed Liu Xiaodog: "From now on, everything will be arranged by us, and you will do whatever you want, and you cannot disclose it to anyone, not even the police. Well, tomorrow you'll meet that guy as agreed, and we'll protect you secretly. ”

Returning to the special case team station, Jiao Yunjun told Hao Zhenru about the above situation, and Hao Zhenru immediately made a record of the dragon snake and asked him to sign it at the end. Jiao Yunjun said Lao Hao, you are too powerful, this kind of conversation still needs to be recorded? Hao Zhenru said that this was a requirement for the production of the file, and that I had to record all the contents related to the case and ask the parties to sign it for later verification, so as not to be unclear at that time. Jiao Yunjun signed helplessly: "Dude, if every material is like this, I'm afraid I'll have to prepare a pair of glasses." ”

Turning back, let's talk about the investigators Sha Maolin, Zhi Fude, and Sun Shenyan to investigate the situation of the motorcycle. I thought it was very easy, who knew to the traffic police department of the city bureau to check, the number was found, but the motorcycle has been scrapped half a month ago, according to the regulations, the vehicle license plate will be automatically invalidated. But how did this scrapped license plate appear again, and it happened to hang on the motorcycle ridden by the suspect under investigation by the task force?

According to the vehicle's records, the owner of the scrapped motorcycle was named Geng Siliang. The investigators first went to the police station of the pipe section of Geng Siliang's residence, and as soon as they learned, Geng Siliang was dead. More than half a month ago, he drunk and drove the American-made Hound dog brand motorcycle to speed around the Great Eight Temples, crashed into a tree on the side of the road, and died on the spot. The Geng family was driving a car transport company, there were seven or eight trucks, and after receiving the news, they sent a truck to the scene of the accident in The Great Eight Temples to transport Back Geng Siliang's bloody and bloody corpse and the damaged motorcycle. The degree of damage to the motorcycle was better than that of its owner, and it could continue to be used after repairing it, but Geng Siliang's father felt heartache when he saw it, simply scrapped the calculation, and sent it to the company's car repair workshop, and the parts were removed and placed in the warehouse for later assembly on other vehicles. After the motorcycle was sent to the company, the workers found that the front and back license plates had disappeared, and then reported to Boss Geng, who did not attach importance to this, the car has been scrapped, what is the theft of the license plate? Unexpectedly, this missing license plate actually appeared on the motorcycle on which the person involved was riding.

The three investigators deliberated and decided to put the license plate issue aside first, directly checking who the royal blue motorcycle belonged to. The idea was supposed to be a shortcut at the time. At the time of the first liberation of Shanghai, the number of motor vehicles owned was very different from today,especially motorcycles owned by private individuals, according to the statistics at the end of July 1949, the total number of districts was less than 2,000, and after deducting about one-third of the three-wheeled motorcycles, it would be only a thousand. Therefore, if you directly stare at the characteristics of the royal blue motorcycle, it is easy to check clearly.

After this investigation, there were thirty-one royal blue motorcycles in the city, and Sha Maolin called to ask Jiao Yunjun what brand of motorcycle the target was riding and whether there were any characteristics. A secret intelligence worker like Jiao Yunjun, who was directly subordinate to the Social Department of the East China Bureau, was called a "CCP agent" in the records of the Kuomintang secret service agency, and was a senior agent who mastered a variety of skills, not only proficient in radio transmission and transmission and maintenance technology, but also good at driving cars and motorcycles, and familiar with the characteristics of various vehicles. Let me think...... By the way, there is a bronze model decoration on the tail fender, which should be the American Bell P-39 fighter, which is called the 'Flying Snake in the Air'. Of course, the motorcycle made by french manufacturers will not be equipped with American aircraft models, that must be the owner's own idea, and it must be unique in the city! ”

At about 10 o'clock in the evening, the city's unique motorcycle was found in the square in front of the North Railway Station in the North Railway Station district. The police at the North Station police station immediately squatted, and an hour later, the owner of the car who came to pick up the car was taken down. Next, it was the turn of the investigators Sha Maolin, Zhi Fude, and Sun Shenyan to appear.

Of the three, Sha Maolin was designated as the person in charge by Jiao Yunjun. Sha Maolin is a native of Nanjing, thirty hanging zero, in 1936 was admitted to the National Government Capital Police Academy, the enrollment brochure said that it was two years to graduate, but before graduation the War of Resistance broke out, soon after the fall of Nanjing, the police academy moved to Wuhan. In Wuhan, Sha Maolin met Teacher Zou, who taught Mandarin in junior high school. Teacher Zou was an underground party, and at this time the relationship had been assigned to the "Southern Office" (the Office of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China in Wuhan), and through his introduction, Sha Maolin joined the party organization. Later, he went to the headquarters of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui Province, and during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he successively did the military law and defense work of the New Fourth Army, served as the chief of the unit, and was soon dismissed from his post--the reason for this, he only understood later.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was transferred to the old district of northern Jiangsu to engage in local public security work. On the eve of the Battle of Crossing the River, Sha Maolin participated in a training class held by the Social Department of the East China Bureau in Danyang, Jiangsu Province, and on the day of the liberation of Shanghai, he went into the city with his troops as plainclothes personnel of the Social Department of the East China Bureau. Sha Maolin, who was born into a wealthy family in Nanjing and attended the Kuomintang Police Academy, joined the revolutionary ranks with full enthusiasm at that time, and gradually discovered that cadres of his origin were often looked at differently, as evidenced by the inexplicable dismissal of his post as chief of the unit. Since then, he has adhered to the principle of being a man with his tail between his legs, keeping a low profile in everything, being cautious and cautious, and trying not to leave a bad impression on others. Most people around him think that he is a timid and fearful person, and he is not very defensive. He himself probably did not expect that it was this low-key and cautious personality that made him an expert in interrogation. He is good at overcoming the hard and hard way to overcome the criminals who do not spit out, and when he meets any criminal, he has the ability to shorten the distance between each other in the shortest possible time, so that the other party can relax their vigilance and have loopholes.

Now, Sha Maolin was tasked with investigating the origin of the royal blue motorcycle. He first checked the detained motorcycle with Zhi Fude and Sun Shenyan, checked the license plate number and the white copper airplane model decoration on the fender at the rear of the car, and then interrogated the detainee.

It was a young man in his early twenties, with the head of an airplane, wearing a light green knitted sports suit that looked like an imported product, and pedaling the American "Leopard Race" light running shoes, which was the most fashionable outfit for rich young people on the beach in the summer and autumn of 1949, known as "small open clothing". The name of this "Xiao Kai" in front of him is Ji Baode, and his father is a capitalist who opened a machine repair factory in Zhabei, so acquaintances also call him Ji Xiaokai. According to Ji Xiaokai, the motorcycle he was riding was pushed by a friend named You Wei, saying that he had been entrusted by someone to temporarily store the motorcycle in his home and pick it up in a few days. Although Ji Baode was young, he still had a bit of social experience, and at that time he had a question in his heart: Temporary storage? What do you mean? Is this motorcycle coming from the right place?

You Wei sensed this meaning from his eyes, and immediately explained, saying that the owner of this motorcycle you may have heard of, that is not an ordinary person, but a well-known "one wrestling head" in the Hudong area! Ji Baode was suddenly in awe. It should be noted that the fame of "one wrestling head" is not only in Hudong, but also in the whole of Shanghai, and it has been ringing for several years. However, respect is respect, the origin of the motorcycle still needs to be understood clearly, like a person like "a wrestling head", is it still a problem to store a motorcycle? How did you return Tibet to Tibet?

You Wei patted Ji Baode's shoulder, Brother, you are still young, some things in the world are not as simple as they seem. Although "a wrestling head" is famous, the copper tungsten entry is very limited, and it is addicted to gambling, and the gambling style is well-known, and if you lose money, you have to smash the pot and sell iron to pay off the debt. This time, it is estimated that he encountered a difficult situation, and he refused to pay off the debt with this motorcycle, so he had to store the car outside for a few days. He originally wanted to put it in my house, my house you know, really in a screw shell to do the dojo, where is there a place to put down a motorcycle? I had to come and beg your brother.

Ji Baode then nodded. He used to have a motorcycle, three months ago when Shanghai was just liberated, he drove to Nanshi to see friends, on the way back to the Bund encountered a red light stop, out of nowhere suddenly flashed a man in military uniform, pulled out the red cover of the Paiji shook, said "I am from the Military Control Commission, temporarily requisition your car, tomorrow this time you go to the Military Control Commission to get it." Somehow, Ji Baode's usual cleverness actually disappeared out of thin air, obediently got out of the car, and watched the other party get into the car and speed away. The next day, he went to the Municipal Military Control Commission, and fang knew that the guy was a fake. The motorcycle was lost. Ji Baode, who is used to riding motorcycles, suddenly loses his car, and his mood can be imagined. With a motorcycle in front of him that could be at his disposal for the time being, he certainly thought about getting addicted, so he rode to a few friends. In the evening, Ji Baode went to his cousin near the North Station for a banquet and parked his motorcycle at the bicycle storage point in the square in front of the North Station. After eating at my cousin's house, I spread out the table to play mahjong, my hand was good, and when I stopped in the middle of the night, there were eight hundred thousand yuan in the account, and Xi Zizi went out to push the cart, and I didn't want to be taken down.

At three o'clock in the morning on August 30, You Wei, a twenty-three-year-old unemployed person, was taken down. The investigators interrogated him and confirmed that Ji Baode's confession was true, and that the motorcycle was indeed "a head". So, what kind of character is "a wrestling head"? The scouts quickly figured out the basic situation of the master—

Born in Ninghe County, Hebei Province, his ancestors were all first-class pokers in the Qing Dynasty Shanpu Camp (professional cornerers who were incorporated into the Shanpu Camp, who usually worked in wrestling in the camp, known as "Donation Lane"). After the fall of the Qing court, Guan Yisheng's father Guan Muxian and a group of unemployed thugs operated a wrestling ring in Tianqiao, and they were the deputies of the famous wrestler Bao Shan Lin Bao, and their level could be imagined. Since the age of eight, Guan Yisheng has been practicing wrestling with his father, practicing the three skills of arms, feet and waist, and dealing with training equipment such as braids, wooden poles, sandbags, and hanging piles all day long for seven years. When he debuted at the age of fifteen, he was hired by "Big World" as a professional wrestler, performing on stage and accepting challenges from tourists. He worked in the "Big World" for seven years and is said to have maintained an undefeated record.

When the Pacific War broke out, Guan Yisheng left the "big world" and was hired as a teacher by several capitalists to teach their children to practice wrestling. In the meantime, several groups of Japanese samurai who did not know their details came to the door to challenge, but they were all knocked down by Guan Yisheng. When the news spread, the road gave him the nickname "A Wrestling Head". After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Guan Yisheng went to the north at the invitation of a friend to do business, and on the way he encountered a car accident, was seriously injured, leaving behind sequelae, and bid farewell to the wrestling field from then on. After a period of time, there were some opponents who had previously lost under his hands who came to provoke, Guan Yisheng greeted him with a smile, smoked tea and hospitality, and the other party often thought that he was weak, thinking that he had finally won face and went away triumphantly. There are also those who don't know how to "cut a fight", Guan Yisheng has no choice but to be accompanied, and he even solves the problem every time in one turn - "a fall head" is really worthy of the name.

After the car accident, Guan Yisheng set up a stall near his residence in Yangshupu District to repair bicycles. This person is skillful and easy to study, in addition to bicycles, general motorcycles, cars small problems he can also solve, large faults due to limited to parts, tools, it has to be turned away. Due to the large number of friends and the large face, the customers who come to the door to repair the car are always overcrowded. He had no choice but to expand the original simple car repair shop into a car repair workshop, recruiting several apprentices from the former wrestling ring, in addition to teaching car repair, sometimes letting them practice wrestling. Guan Yisheng is thirty years old, still unmarried. It is said that with the income of the car repair workshop, his life should be quite moist, only because of his gambling addiction, he often has to open the pot on a tight budget.

Now that his name is in the case file of the task force, the investigators are ready to investigate it. For Guan Yisheng himself, of course, he was in the dark; he didn't know that at this moment, someone else was also using his brain, so it wasn't an investigation, but to seal his mouth!

Fourth, conspire to seal the mouth

The person who calculated to seal the mouth of the "one-headed head" was the opponent who had already taken a picture of the special case team but did not know its details -- the "six rooms". "Six Rooms" is not the code name of a certain enemy special agent, but the official name of a seven-member special agent group directly controlled by Taiwan's "National Defense Secrecy Bureau."

The establishment of the "Six Chambers" is inseparable from a man named Song Siyi. Originally from Huaihua, Hunan, Song Siyi was born in Chuansha County, Jiangsu Province (now part of Pudong New Area, Shanghai), at the age of two Chinese New Year's Eve. Song Siyi's grandfather was the general of the Qing Dynasty army,roughly equivalent to today's zhengying level, who was wounded and discharged from the army when he was stationed in Shanghai, did not return to his hometown, and used the retirement pension he obtained as a capital to do business. The business is still good, although it has not made a fortune and is not famous, but it finally has a real estate wife and a Xiaoxiang local specialty store. After the death of the old man, the souvenir shop passed to Song Siyi's father. His father was active in his brain, first believing in foreign religion, learning a pidgin English, and then looking for an Englishman to do business in partnership, using the ancestral souvenir bank as a shareholding fund, and jointly established a foreign firm specializing in the export trade of local specialties. Song Siyi grew up in such a family, he could still speak English, and he still went to a church school.

At the time of the August 13 Incident in 1937, Song Siyi was eighteen years old and had graduated from a church high school, and his father introduced him to a German radio line to learn technology. The "August 13 Incident" was known as the "Sino-Japanese Battle of Songhu" at that time, and after three months of fighting, not only did the Nationalist army suffer heavy casualties, but also innocent people. When the bad news came, Song Siyi was sad and indignant, and the country hated the family and hated the heavens, so he immediately quit his job as a radio operator and went to Qingpu County, Jiangsu Province (now Qingpu District, Shanghai), forty kilometers away from Shanghai. Why go to Qingpu? The "military command" is enrolling students in the secret service training course held there. This was the first special training course officially opened by the "military unification" after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and Dai Kasa attached great importance to this, personally serving as the director, and went to Qingpu four times to supervise. On the day that Song Siyi went to Qingpu, he was just in time for Dai Kasa to personally interview, read the resume, asked about it, was very satisfied with it, and made an admission on the spot.

However, because the development of the war exceeded the pre-estimated estimates, the special training class of the "military unification" was only opened for more than a month before it was closed. Dai Kasa ordered all the students of the youth training class to be transferred to Liling, Hunan Province, to continue their training. During the transfer, Song Siyi fell ill in Zhejiang and was left behind when he arrived in Liling half a year later, and could only participate in the second special training class. Unexpectedly, he was still unable to survive in the second special training class. The examination of the "military command" is very strict, and it is even more necessary to carefully examine those who do not have a guarantee when participating in the "group.". Song Siyi's question is mainly what he did during the six months that he was left behind and separated from the collective, and whether it had anything to do with the Japanese and pseudo-japanese aspects. As a result, he was not only barred from training, but also placed under house arrest for investigation. According to Song Siyi's self-report, the "military command" sent personnel to the Zhejiang area occupied by the Japanese army for three or four months to conduct on-the-spot investigations, and finally found out that he had no problems and allowed him to continue to participate in the training.

After such a toss, Song Siyi's qualifications (that is, the time he graduated from the special training class) were affected, and his future promotion was quite unfavorable. After graduating from the special training class, he was dispatched to the Shanghai Station of the "Military Command" Shanghai District (the Shanghai District Department was responsible for the "Military Unification" directly under the Shanghai And surrounding areas, and the Shanghai Station was an organ subordinate to the Shanghai District), and collected a lot of intelligence under the cover of opening electrical appliances and old goods on Beijing Road, and his superiors also believed that he had "made great achievements", but because he was not old enough, he was only a major rank. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the "military command" reduced the number of agents, demobilized some agents, some agents went to engage in "three industries," and some even entered the Invalides Academy to learn skills and rely on labor to eat. Only Song Siyi seemed to have been forgotten, no one came to him, did not arrange a job, did not give an explanation of the way out, but the salary was paid monthly, and the profits earned by the electrical appliance and used the money invested by the "military command" were not handed over as they were during the War of Resistance. In the eyes of his peers on the road to Beijing, Song Siyi is a businessman who only knows how to bury his head in money, never asks about politics, and even does not subscribe to the "Central Daily" or read it, but occasionally buys a copy of the "Declaration" and flips it over at will.

In fact, the "group" did not forget Song Siyi at all. Shortly after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, before the dissolution of the Shanghai district of "military unification," Mao Renfeng was entrusted by Dai Kasa to come to Shanghai for a meeting to discuss the aftermath, and the list of hidden agents named and left behind included Song Siyi's name, and ranked third -- which showed that the above was still brute force on him, and it is estimated that it was mainly due to the favorable conditions for the cover of his professional identity. In this situation, Song Siyi lived a peaceful life for more than three years, until a cold and miserable night in mid-February 1949, with the appearance of a colonel from Nanjing, a colonel of the "Secret Bureau" (reorganized by the "military command" after Dai Kasa's death), the little famous Boss Song who was a little famous on the road in Beijing finally ended his life of being hidden in the snow. The colonel, whose surname was Liu, informed Song Siyi that the secret meeting of the headquarters of the bureau decided that Song Siyi would stay in Shanghai as a lurker to carry out intelligence work, and his position was "Lieutenant Colonel of the Sixth Intelligence Office directly under East China of the Secrecy Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of China", and the organization in charge of the work was referred to as "Six Rooms", and his code name was "Old Sixth".

This Colonel Liu also seems to be an intelligence agent, with a super memory, and opened his mouth to report the names, addresses, occupations, contact information, and resumes of the six latent agents assigned to Song Siyi's leadership, and his familiarity was as if the six agents were members of his family. Song Siyi is also not a vegetarian, nodding his head while listening, nodding his head while remembering in his mind, and when the other party asked him "do you understand it" after he said it, he did not hurry to repeat it. Mr. Liu smiled and cocked his thumb: "Boss Song is really good, and his name is worthy of the name!" In this way, the brother is completely relieved. Regarding the specific mission of the 'Six Chambers' lurking, the bureau headquarters has not yet considered it, and if comrades are required to work at that time, they will be notified separately. Regarding funds, equipment, weapons, etc., we will send someone to send them soon. ”

Seven days later, Song Siyi received a bill of lading from the North Railway Station at the "Ruixiang Electric Appliance Used Goods Store" on Beijing Road, which stated that he himself had to pick up the goods himself. For electrical appliance dealers, this is a business practice that will be encountered several times a month, and people have long been commonplace. Of course, no one knows that the batch of goods that Boss Song went to pick up this time was a full set of AMERICAN agent equipment such as radio transceivers, weapons and ammunition, photographic equipment, secret writing potions, and chemicals for the use of potential agents. The next day, another printed item was sent to the old goods store, sent by surface mail, very strongly packaged, and when opened, it was a few thick hardcover foreign documents, but the inside of the book was empty, containing Hong Kong dollars, dollars, gold bars and codebooks.

Soon, Shanghai was liberated and the People's Liberation Army entered the city. Song Siyi, director of the "Six Rooms", as always, buried his head in his business, but hung a very large and bright red flag at the door of the old goods store. On the same day that Shanghai was liberated, Song Siyi sent a signal to his six subordinates to meet individually, and from the next day to see one a day. He had never met his subordinates since he took office, and this time he wanted to see them, so as not to let the Communist Party take care of him in case someone was arrested, and he was still in the dark. After meeting each other, he remained safe and sound in his business until August 2, 1949.

On this day, Song Siyi received an unnamed secret letter informing him in code language that he would turn on the radio station that night to receive urgent instructions from the headquarters of Taiwan's "Secrecy Bureau." According to the practice of secret service activities, special agent groups such as "six rooms" need to be equipped with special operators, but "six rooms" are exceptions. When Song Siyi was working underground in Shanghai during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, because his public identity was the owner of an electrical appliance dealership, Shangfeng, taking into account the convenience of covering the radio, instructed him to concurrently serve as a newspaper operator. In Shanghai Beach, which was under the close control of the Special High School of the Japanese Gendarmerie and the Wang Pseudo "Seventy-Six", he did not reveal his identity until the victory of the War of Resistance. Therefore, this time, Colonel Liu took care of Song Siyi when he came to issue the latent order, and still took this approach. After the case was cracked, Song Siyi insisted that he was just a reporter and did not know the other circumstances of the "six rooms". At that time, the case had been transferred to Beijing, and later I heard that my Colleagues in Beijing had spent a lot of effort to find out that this "old sixth" was actually receiving double pay at the same time.

That evening, Song Siyi received a secret order from Taiwan's "Secrecy Bureau," which read: In order to "invade" the islands controlled by the armies of the southeast coastal countries and even eventually take Kinmen, Matsu, Penghu, and Taiwan, the Chinese communists have decided to develop new types of torpedo speedboats suitable for offshore operations. After the above-mentioned information was obtained by the US side, the US side believed that the matter was seriously related to the security of the Taiwan side and proposed that the US and Taiwan jointly counter this plan. The "Secrecy Bureau" instructed the "Six Rooms", and in view of the great importance attached to this work by the United States, the CIA has notified its agents lurking in Shanghai to provide assistance to the "Six Rooms", and will take the initiative to contact the "Six Rooms". The two sides are purely equal and cooperative, and there is no subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates.

However, Song Siyi soon discovered that the so-called "pure equality" was a cajoling statement -- he had no idea about the CIA agent in Charge of contacting him in Shanghai, and the other party not only knew his "Old Sixth" code name, but also knew that he was the Song boss of the "Ruixiang Electrical Appliances Old Goods Store" on Beijing Road, and two days later he actually sent someone to contact him directly.

The one who came was "Aunt Mary" who invited Ah Sitou to the Old City God Temple for morning tea, of course, this foreign beauty was not called "Mary" when she appeared in front of Boss Song, and introduced herself as Yulia. Despite being a CIA agent, Song Siyi looked at her appearance and suspected that the other party might be a Jew from some Eastern European country in Shanghai. Yulia asked Song Siyi to go outside for coffee, and during the conversation, she was informed that she had been assigned by her boss, Mr. Jack, to assist Boss Song in her work, and also served as a liaison between Boss Song and Mr. Jack.

From the current point of view, Yulia's boss, Mr. Jack, seems to have an indiscreet arrangement—isn't it obvious that appointing a foreign beauty to contact Song Siyi is not obviously attracting the attention of others? Isn't the most taboo thing about being a spy? But Mr. Jack was clearly well thought out, and must have sent someone to even inspect it himself before. At that time, there were many shops dealing in old goods on Beijing Road, and at that time, shanghai was only three months after liberation, and many foreign expatriates were preparing to leave Shanghai to return to China, and before leaving, they took the things they could not take to the old goods store on Beijing Road to sell. Therefore, there are blonde men and women turning around every day on the road to Beijing, and Yulia's appearance in Song Siyi's old goods store is not very eye-catching.

Song Siyi is also an old spy, and he does not care about Jack's move, and what surprises him is that Julia later transforms into "Aunt Mary". This matter should also start from the "six rooms" spy intelligence --

Purely from the perspective of secret agent technology, Song Siyi's level is still good. After accepting the mission, it took him just over ten days to successfully obtain information that the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute (renamed "Jiangnan Shipyard" after taking over) was urgently renovating the No. 3 ship platform, which was the content of the "Order No. 1 of the Shanghai Municipal Military Control Commission of the Chinese People's Liberation Army" signed by Chen Yi when Shanghai was just liberated three months ago. The action plan was formulated by Song Siyi according to the social relations he mastered, and was implemented by his subordinate Gong Akang. Although in theory, the possibility of this plan succeeding in one fell swoop is relatively large, when he received a call from Gong Akang in code language, he still had a little doubt about his ears, and even thought of another possibility -- could it be that Gong Akang has lost his wind and been arrested, and this phone call was a set set by the CCP public security in order to trap him, the head of the secret service? Therefore, Song Siyi subconsciously hung up the phone immediately. This surprised Gong Akang and immediately dialed again. This time, Song Siyi returned to normal thinking and instructed Gong Akang in code language to meet in front of the telephone booth at the entrance of the alley next to the Daguang Cinema on Nanjing Road the next day to hand over the information obtained.

The next situation has been explained earlier, Gong Akang somehow went to Yongan Company in front of the joint. This is actually a violation of the rules of secret service activities, and other things should not be done until the intelligence handover has been completed, so as not to cause a distraction. There is only one exception, and that is when you find yourself being stalked and having to do it as a last resort. The problem was that everything was normal that day, Gong Akang did not encounter any special circumstances, this superfluous trip to the mall, led to Liu Xiaodog and three other teenagers stealing the bag containing the intelligence (that is, the book).

It is not difficult to imagine what kind of mood Song Siyi, who is full of hope and preparing to enjoy the success of the first battle, is in. For an old spy who had been active for a long time during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and under the bloody rule of the Japanese puppets, this bad news not only meant that the previous achievements were abandoned, but more importantly, the disaster that could be caused by it. After Song Siyi broke up with Gong Akang, he immediately requested an emergency meeting according to the contact information left to him by Yulia. Two hours later, Yulia had already reported the bad news to Jack. At the same time, Song Siyi issued instructions to another agent, Wei Kangsi, to visit the old goods consignment store in the designated area with the original invoice for the purchase of leather bags provided by Gong Akang.

Soon, Wei Kangsi found out the whereabouts of the bag at the thrift store on Huaihai Road. Song Siyi had just received the news, and Yulia called to convey Mr. Jack's opinion. Both sides are old spies, and despite their different nationalities, they have the same idea, and Jack also thinks that he can find the guy who stole the bag by querying the thrift store. Song Siyi estimated that Yulia was a novice who was temporarily recruited by Mr. Jack, and heard that the leather bag was sold to a thrift store by a teenager named Qin Yongjin in Hongzhen Old Street, and immediately smiled and hung up the phone with a "bye-bye".

Further down, something happened that surprised Song Siyi, and Jack actually assigned Yulia to go out to the old street of Hongzhen and invite the nine-year-old boy to the Old City God Temple for morning tea! Of course, this situation was not reported to him by the people, but the subordinates he arranged to visit Ah Sitou found out when they were tracking him. When Song Siyi was stunned, Yulia called proudly to inform him that Mr. Jack had the name and address of the person who stole the bag (that is, Liu Puppy), and suggested that Song Siyi take measures to recover the information. Yulia spoke with a commanding tone, Song Siyi was helpless, this Lou Zi was poked out by his subordinates, naturally only he had to clean up, so he swallowed and said "OK".

Song Siyi assigned Wei Kangsi to find Liu Xiaodog, because Wei Kangsi came into the beach gang family, although his own profession had nothing to do with the gang, and his predecessors had already become ancient, but according to Colonel Liu of the "Secrecy Bureau", this person's connections in the Shanghai beach underworld and various industry guilds were rare among ordinary agents. Therefore, Song Siyi believed that it should be no problem to send him out to coax a fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenager. Wei Kangsi himself heard that he was asked to carry out such a mission, and he also thought it was a piece of cake. This attitude made Song Siyi a little uneasy, worried that he would carelessly lose Jingzhou, and assigned another secret agent, Hu Yousan, to follow Wei Kangsi. It turns out that this arrangement of Song Siyi is very necessary.

To say that the six subordinates assigned to Song Siyi by the "Secrecy Bureau" are really in line with the principle of "making the best use of their talents and making the best use of their materials" -- Wei Kangsi is suitable for "social investigation", while Hu Yousan, when he looks at the overly shrewd appearance of the thief's head thief's brain, he knows that it is a good material for inquiring about privacy. Hu Yousan also has an advantage, that is, obedience, like a loyal hound, as a small agent, you can smash the nails on the board to strictly do what you want, without the slightest deviation. Song Siyi paid special attention to him when he explained his mission, and asked him to go to the alley opposite the "Modern Small Restaurant" on Huqiu Road on the Bund, where there was a cigarette paper shop with a half-façade, and as long as he paid for a pack of cigarettes, he could sit in the shop for a moment or three on the grounds of waiting for someone, and the owner would not have an opinion. At this time, there will be a man of about thirty years old wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and sunglasses (the agents of the "six rooms" do not know each other) riding a royal blue motorcycle to take a teenager to the "modern small pavilion", and Hu Yousan's mission is to observe whether anyone is following the motorcycle.

Hu Yousan carried out Song Siyi's instructions to the letter, only to find that a green motorcycle delivering a telegram was trailing the royal blue motorcycle, and the two men in the car also entered the "modern small hall" after getting off the car. From this, Song Siyi concluded that Wei Kangsi had been targeted by public security personnel. Wei Kangsi was still in the dark, and excitedly called Song Siyi to report that he had already heard that the thief in the stolen leather bag had not yet gotten out of his hand, and that he could retrieve it when he met again tomorrow morning, and was spat out by Song Siyi: "Yuck! You kid is so stared at that he doesn't even know it! Did you borrow the motorcycle you were riding from 'A Wrestler'? Quickly dispose of the car, and tell the 'head' that the car was stolen. ”

However, Wei Kangsi had already returned the motorcycle to "Yi Wrestling Head", and this call was made in the door room of the factory opposite the "Yi Wrestling Head" repair shop. Song Siyi then instructed Wei Kangsi to let the "one-headed head" hide the car for a license plate, and when someone asked, he said that it was stolen. How about going down? Wait for your destiny.

Song Siyi realized that the operation had been completely lost, and in order to protect himself, he had to deal with the relevant clues first. At this time, Song Siyi felt that the "Secrecy Bureau" headquarters let him cooperate with the "CIA" lurking agents in Shanghai was a bit of a hindrance, and in his opinion, the so-called "handling of relevant clues" was to seal the "one-headed" mouth. He was the director of the "Six Chambers" and had the authority to order this. But now because I have that Jack, I have to discuss it with the other party. He immediately contacted Yulia and said that there were 100,000 urgent matters that had to be interviewed with Mr. Jack.

The other party quickly responded, and Yulia called and asked Mr. Song to meet at a Western restaurant on the other side of the racecourse at 7 p.m. Song Siyi arrived on time, but what annoyed him was that the other party was still Yulia, and that Mr. Jack did not want to show his face at all. Yulia said she was ordered to talk to Mr. Song on behalf of Mr. Jack, and she could make a decision directly on general matters. Song Siyi really wanted to slap her face when he listened: At your level, being an ordinary agent is not qualified enough, and dare to say that he can be the master?

Song Siyi even doubted whether the other party had dragged the "tail" and was anxious to end the conversation, so he said that he wanted to put out the "one-headed" thing. Unexpectedly, Yulia said that Mr. Jack had already arranged this matter, so Mr. Song would not bother. Mr. Jack said, don't say that the existence of that "one head" has affected the implementation of our work objectives, even if it does not, considering the future safety of Mr. Song's class of party-state agents, things should be resolved after they are completed. Mr. Song, please rest assured that at this time tomorrow, the "one-headed" will definitely not be able to open his mouth to reveal what the situation is.

Despite the other side's remarks, Song Siyi was still quite worried: What if the Communist Party side preemptively arrested the "one-fell head"?

Fifth, wrestling masters

On the morning of August 31, the task force began to investigate Guan Yisheng, a "wrestling head", according to the predetermined plan. On this day, the group leader Jiao Yunjun was a little unwell. Last night the weather was sweltering, and he felt unbearable while resting in his dormitory, so he pulled a straw mat and went to sleep on a large rock in the garden. It was cool, but I felt abdominal pain in the morning, and then I ran to the toilet one after another. Deputy team leader Hao Zhenru looked at his state and said Lao Jiao, it seems that you can't go out to investigate, I will do your work, you go to the hospital to see. Jiao Yunjun couldn't think of it, so he had to nod his head, but he didn't go to the hospital, saying that we would temporarily change the guard, you outside and inside.

Hao Zhenru took two investigators to the Yulin branch where Guan Yisheng lived to understand the situation. Explained his intentions to Yi Shengdao, the deputy director in charge of public security at the substation, and Yi Shengdao said, "A wrestling head" I know that the security unit is looking for him. A guy from his car repair shop, surnamed Shen, was said to be his apprentice, and he broke his foot bones in a fight with someone. Someone had been arrested last night, but he said he didn't have the money to see the injured. The surname Shen is a foreigner, and there is no family in Shanghai, so we have to talk to the place where he works, so let him take out the money for the treatment of the injury first. Hao Zhenru listened to his heart move, and said that if you let someone call him to the substation, I would talk to him first?

Half an hour later, Guan Yisheng appeared in front of Hao Zhenru and the scouts Zhang Baoxian and Tan Xian. Standing in front of this person, who was tall and tall, with a face full of flesh, words such as "iron tower", "tiger's back and bear's waist", and "big man" would flash in people's minds. Hao Zhenru was very kind to him, signaled his assistant to hand him a cigarette, poured him a cup of boiling water, called him "Lao Guan", and said that he came to you to talk about your guys who injured people. Guan Yisheng said that I had heard about this matter, Xiao Shen was indeed my guy from the car repair shop, and he had also learned wrestling with me, and since he had this kind of thing, I would bear whatever responsibility the government wanted me to bear. It's just that Xiao Shen is only seventeen years old, and he doesn't understand things, if the government can give him a lenient treatment, then my surname Guan is grateful! With that, he stood up and bowed to Hao Zhenru.

Hao Zhenru hurriedly stopped: "Lao Guan, your attitude will definitely help to solve this matter." However, I heard that Xiao Shen's calamity is not light, and the medical expenses alone will cost a lot, can you afford it? ”

Guan Yisheng said: "If my savings are not enough, I can borrow from my friends, and if I can't, even if I sell the car repair shop, I will have to compensate for other people's medical expenses." ”

Hao Zhenru was silent: "The car repair shop cannot be sold, that is the basis for your livelihood." I heard that Lao Guan you have a good motorcycle, but it can be used for emergency relief. As he spoke, he watched the other person's reaction.

Guan Yisheng said, "Motorcycle? This..." Suddenly, his body was slightly tilted, and then he subconsciously reached for a support point. But the chair he was sitting on had no armrests, and the surrounding area was empty, holding it empty with one hand, and his body suddenly lost its center of gravity. The three investigators saw that the situation was not right, and the three hands had not yet touched, and Guan Yisheng's huge body, along with the chair, slammed to the ground, rolled his eyes, spat out white foam, and fell into a coma.

The investigators immediately called an ambulance and took Guan Yisheng to the Gongji Hospital on North Sichuan Road. It was originally a long-established hospital founded by the concession to provide medical services for foreigners living in Shanghai, and it was only opened to the Chinese after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. At the beginning of the liberation of Shanghai, there were some foreign doctors in the hospital, and their technical strength was among the best in Shanghai Beach. At that time, Gongji Hospital had been taken over by the Shanghai Municipal Military Control Commission and became a municipal hospital directly led by the Municipal Health Bureau (later renamed "Shanghai First People's Hospital").

Because Guan Yisheng may be involved in an important case being investigated by the Social Department of the East China Bureau, he received special attention. In just half an hour, Gongji Hospital has received phone calls from the Municipal Health Bureau, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the Ministry of Health of the East China Military and Political Committee, all of which are "rescued at all costs"; at the same time, experts from various disciplines in other first-class hospitals in Shanghai have received instructions from relevant parties and have rushed to Gongji Hospital to participate in consultations.

Guan Yisheng was still unconscious, his blood pressure was low, his heart was slow, and his breathing was weak. Those expert doctors involved in the rescue agreed that the above symptoms were not caused by their own disease, but by poisoning. The results of the blood and stomach extract tests soon came out, confirming the experts' above-mentioned inferences. The preliminary opinion of the medical expert group is that the patient's diet is mixed with a chemical poison that cannot be confirmed at present, and the toxin is absorbed by the digestive system and enters the bloodstream, which has a paralyzing effect on the nerves and directly affects the patient's heart function.

Jiao Yunjun, the leader of the special case team, heard the news, and what abdominal pain and diarrhea had all disappeared, and immediately rushed to the Gongji Hospital. After meeting with Hao Zhenru, he just asked about the situation, and the leader's phone followed, instructing the special case team to temporarily garrison the hospital, communicate with the hospital on behalf of the Social Department of the East China Bureau, and be sure to rescue the patient. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Gongji Hospital was accepted by the Kuomintang government and used as a "state-owned hospital", after the liberation of Shanghai, the hospital was taken over by the CCP regime and declared a public hospital (at that time, it was not yet established), so the supreme power of Gongji Hospital was concentrated in the hands of the military management group. Jiao Yunjun pulled Hao Zhenru along to explain his intentions to Lao Xue, the leader of the military management group, and Lao Xue promised to rescue him with all his strength and restore the patient to a level where he could be questioned as soon as possible.

A group of experts rescued until after midnight, although Guan Yisheng's condition did not continue to deteriorate, but did not see any signs of improvement. Jiao Yunjun listened to Old Xue talk about the rescue situation and frowned: "If Western medicine is not good, then please ask Chinese medicine to come and see it, doesn't Chinese medicine also have emergency medicine materials?" What wild ginseng, antelope horn, rhino horn, Angong beef yellow pills, are not all available? I heard that famous Chinese medicine practitioners can still come back to life! ”

Hao Zhenru knew that Jiao Yunjun was really anxious, a little sick and chaotic, called "Lao Jiao" to prevent him from continuing to talk nonsense, but did not expect that Lao Xue said that the hospital had called several famous Chinese medicine doctors in Shanghai, and they came immediately.

However, the three famous Chinese medicine doctors who heard the news gave Guan Yisheng a pulse and also shook their heads, saying that Chinese medicine could be tried, but it was estimated that it had no effect. Sure enough, after trying to inject Chinese medicine, Guan Yisheng was still unconscious.

Of course, this is what Yulia said to the "old sixth" Song Siyi. The special case team did not have information in advance and could not prevent it at all; otherwise, Guan Yisheng would have been arrested and imprisoned in the detention center last night. Of course, at this time, Jiao Yunjun, Hao Zhenru, and others already understood that "a wrestling head" was a way to attack the enemy's special side. All the investigators were waiting in the hospital, seeing that Guan Yisheng could not wake up for a moment and a half, and Jiao Yunjun was idle and idle, proposing to find a place to discuss the case. So he asked Old Xue to arrange an office, leaving an investigator present to wait for the news, and the other six people went to the meeting.

Hao Zhenru's heart was very heavy, saying that if he pulled the topic to the motorcycle as soon as he came up, he might be able to get a clue out of the mouth of the "one-hit head" who had not yet attacked the medicinal properties. Jiao Yunjun said Lao Hao, you don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault. Sha Maolin was also on the side of the consolation, saying that it was useless to regret it now, besides, the number of interrogation roads was like this, especially against the role of "a wrestling head", if you go straight, it may cause his resistance, he will not tell us anything, just on time to fall unconscious.

With this said, Hao Zhenru's mood finally improved a little, and then the topic turned to the case. Since the doctors initially determined that Guan's symptoms were caused by poisoning, it seems that most of them were the enemy's actions to kill his mouth, and at the same time, it also showed that the investigation idea of the special case team was correct, otherwise the enemy could not have been so impatient to deal with Guan Yisheng. At present, Guan Yisheng's situation is not optimistic, in case he can no longer wake up, what should he do next?

As soon as this question was raised, the crowd fell silent. In the middle of the night, Jiao Yunjun opened his mouth: "My opinion is to find out several things, first, how did that motorcycle get into the hands of the enemy?" The second is how the other party found out that they were being followed by us, and didn't we initially judge that they did not find that they had been tracked? Third, how did the enemy attack Guan Yisheng, was he already poisoned when he borrowed a motorcycle from him, or did he decide to kill it after discovering that he was being followed, in order to prevent us from touching the melon through Guan Yisheng's clue? Finally, there is one more thing..." Speaking of this, Jiao Yunjun stopped talking, scanned the crowd for a while, and finally set his eyes on Hao Zhenru, "You should make a request to the leader to take the book that records important information to the special case team, preferably the original, and even if it is bad, it must be a photo." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Hao Zhenru quickly returned to his senses: "Old Jiao, this is a violation of confidentiality regulations. As you know, except for you, everyone in the task force doesn't even mention the word 'book'. The case must be solved, and the secrecy discipline must also be observed, and this cannot be shaken under any circumstances. ”

Jiao Yunjun grinned greatly on the surface, but his heart and eyes were exquisite, and since he had revealed his views, he must have been carefully considered, and immediately said his reason: "Although the discipline of secrecy should be strictly observed, it is for revolutionary work." At present, our job is to arrest and bring to justice the enemy elements who steal secret information... Old Hao, don't you frown, do I have a point? However, we don't know what is written in the book," he said, glancing at Hao Zhenru, because in fact he and Lao Hao knew a little, "which creates a problem for us." If you can't get around it, waste your time in vain, and end up with no way to go, I think your superiors will still give us that book. But in this way, it doesn't matter if I wait for my brother to work hard, the problem is that when we are working hard, once the enemy side does not work hard in vain, but recruits meat, then this disaster will be great! The reason why we want to look at that book is to find clues based on the information in the book and open up another way of investigation, which may be a shortcut, and we can quickly crack this case! ”

Cold again. The room was silent, so quiet that you could clearly hear the "dangdang" sound of a tram driving by on the road outside. After a pause, someone opened his mouth, and this person turned out to be Sun Shenyan, who had never been able to say a few words for a day: "It is very reasonable, I agree!" ”

Then, the investigators Zhang Baoxian and Tan Xian also agreed. Sha Maolin also spoke, but he was opposed, saying that everything should be subject to the leadership. Jiao Yunjun looked at Hao Zhenru: "Old Hao, what about your brother's high opinion?" ”

"Like Lao Sha, I have a negative opinion. How about taking a break first? With that, Hao Zhenru blinked at Jiao Yunjun.

Jiao Yunjun understood what he meant- to open a temporary branch committee to study it. Six of the seven investigators in the special case group are members of the CCP, and three are members of the party branch —Hao Zhenru, Jiao Yunjun, and Zhi Fude, who is waiting outside the rescue room for news. Jiao Yunjun asked Zhang Baoxian to replace Zhi Fude, and the three of them got together to study the matter. Zhi Fude listened to the briefing and agreed with Jiao Yunjun's point of view. When Jiao Yunjun signed the record, he said that Lao Hao could write a reservation and report to his superiors when I came forward, after all, I was the leader of the special case team. Hao Zhenru said don't think that I am afraid of criticism from the leadership, or I will report it, rest assured, since it is the decision of the branch, I will unconditionally implement it and do my best to win the support of the leadership.

At more than one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the special case team received a reply from its superiors: agreed to the proposal, that is, assigned a confidential staff to send it.

Six, two suspects

It was a book covered in crimson lacquer, a bit like the kind of notebook later sold in stationery stores called "hard copy" copies. Unveiling the cover, the title page is printed with red ink with gun motifs, and below it is "1937-1945", which seems to have been printed in the year of the victory of the War of Resistance. The entire book, except for the sketches on the next few pages, some English words and Arabic numerals, the first sixty pages are blank.

Jiao Yunjun and Hao Zhenru took turns to read the contents of the next few pages, the sketches were sketched with pencils, the brushwork was more sophisticated, the lines were straight and straight, the arc was arc, a stroke to the end, there was no trace of dragging mud and water, and at a glance, it was known that the author had been trained in art or cartography. Jiao Yunjun had received this kind of training and knew that it was the basic skill of engaging in secret intelligence. Although Hao Zhenru had not received similar training, he was well-informed, so he also knew a little bit. The question is, what does this sketch depict? Jiao Yunjun pondered for a moment and said that this was mostly a shipyard's shipyard plan, right?

Hao Zhenru suddenly realized: Yes! Didn't the leaders reveal to the two of them when they gave their tasks that the enemy and special forces were spying on our development of new types of ships?

Jiao Yunjun suddenly remembered that one of the people present was knowledgeable, so he handed the book to Tan Xian: "Xiao Tan, you are from Jiaotong University, see if it is a ship platform map?" ”

Tan Xian took a look at it, "That's right. ”

At this time, the confidential correspondent of the Social Department of the East China Bureau drove to arrive for the second time, handed over a top-secret piece sealed with fire paint to the head of the special case team, and asked Jiao Yunjun to check the seal in person and sign for it. Jiao Yunjun immediately unsealed it, read it, and handed it to Hao Zhenru: "Old Hao, take a look, do you want to read it to everyone by the way?" ”

This is a handwritten explanatory note without a signature and date, and from the handwriting, it is written in a hurry, but it is barely recognizable. Hao Zhenru immediately read out its contents in public: this is the leader's explanation of the contents of the book, the drawing is a sketch of the plan of the third ship platform of Jiangnan Shipyard, and the English and Arabic numerals are descriptions of the ship's platform. The ship's platform has been rebuilt in response to the development of new warships. The site had been closed a week earlier, and in addition to the Sino-Soviet experts who stipulated that they could enter the site and the technicians involved in the specific work of the project, others, even the military control personnel who took over the Jiangnan Shipyard, were not allowed to trespass. What is surprising is that the transformation of the third dock is actually on the book of the enemy elements! Therefore, the task of the special case team is to track down the channels of leakage, prevent the enemy from spying, and capture the criminals involved in the case. The superior once again stressed that the requirements for solving the case quickly, and there are difficulties in terms of manpower, material and financial resources, and the leaders will do their best to coordinate and solve them.

In this way, the entire special case group understood the arduousness of the task it was facing, and when discussing the investigation steps and division of labor next, it would not be much effort to talk about it; the whole group was divided into two roads, one was Jiao Yunjun leading Sha Maolin and Tan Xian to the Jiangnan Shipyard to investigate how the reconstruction project of the third ship platform was leaked; the other was presided over by Hao Zhenru, leading Sun Shenyan and Zhang Baoxian to investigate according to the trajectory of activities before Guan Yisheng was poisoned, to find out who had poisoned him, and hoped that Shun teng would dig out the enemy special organization. Zhifude does not arrange field work, and the left-behind task force is responsible for coordinating, handling emergencies and sorting out file materials. The guardianship mission of Guan Yisheng, who was unconscious, was entrusted to three political security investigators temporarily sent by the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau. However, they are only responsible for guardianship, and if Guan Yisheng wakes up, the interrogation work must still be carried out by the special case team, which is specially explained by the leader.

On September 1, Jiao Yunjun, Sha Maolin and Tan Xian entered the Jiangnan Shipyard in the name of inspectors of the Production Safety Leading Group of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. The investigators went to the engineering headquarters code-named "Project 101", asked the director of the office, and were told that the two main leaders, namely the commander and the political commissar, were not there, and asked to wait for a moment. After a while, commander Ji Xinzhen returned from a meeting at the factory headquarters, read the introduction letter and documents, asked Jiao Yunjun about the identity and mission of the three people, let the three into his office, and introduced the basic situation of the project.

First of all, the members of the command, Lao Ji, who was born in the old Red Army, was sent from the Beijing Naval Headquarters to preside over this project, and was one of the main leaders of the command, in addition to the Political Commissar Assigned by the East China Navy, as well as several members in charge of technology, logistics, and foreign affairs, all of whom were appointed by the Shanghai side, including a senior engineer from the Jiangnan Shipyard. The command also had an advisory group, which was a pure Soviet expert, with a total of five people; there were also translators, guards and other public servants. Ji Xinzhen said that according to the division of labor, the security work was taken care of by Commissar Nie, but Commissar Nie went to the city today to attend a meeting, and for the time being, he himself came forward to receive it, and if the investigators had something to communicate with in the future, they could directly tell Commissar Nie.

Then say "Project 101", which is an important secret, but the superiors have instructed that the task force can know about it so that it can be carried out smoothly. Jiao Yunjun immediately said, "Chief, the simpler you say this, the better!" ”

Commander Ji did give the situation a simple and concise explanation: The Central Military Commission of the COMMUNIST Party of China decided to develop naval vessels as soon as possible in order to liberate all islands along the southeast coast, including Taiwan Island. In view of the lack of technical strength, it is hoped that the Soviet side will give support. After negotiations, the two sides decided to start the project on the horse torpedo boat. To this end, the Soviet Union sent a technical assistance team composed of experts in mechanical, electrical, arms and other fields to Shanghai with a full set of drawings of new torpedo boats for technical guidance. The Central Military Commission demanded that the first new type of torpedo speedboat be built and passed the acceptance test within half a year, and that a torpedo speedboat brigade should be formed by the end of 1950.

Speaking of this, Ji Xinzhen, who was sitting in the direction of the door, suddenly stood up: "Hey, Old Nie is back!" ”

Nie Anxu, political commissar of the "101 Project" Engineering Command, was a cadre with a cold personality, not as fiery as Commander Ji, who looked at the investigators with a cautious eye and seemed to turn a deaf ear to Ji Xinzhen's introduction. Jiao Yunjun was clever, and immediately took out the introduction letter and certificate for him to review, with a humble face, but in his heart he did not think so: Looking at this defensive posture, we should grasp the security work without leaking, how can we just start to get a boat platform and have not officially built a speedboat to let the enemy focus on it?

Listening to Jiao Yunjun explain his intentions, Commissar Nie asked, "What kind of assistance do you need from us?" ”

"We want to go to Ship No. 3 to see the field."

Commissar Nie immediately summoned a young man who was dressed in plain clothes but knew that he was a soldier at first glance, introduced that it was a small money for the security officer, and asked him to accompany him. Jiao Yunjun and the three men took a temporary pass issued by the commander and went with Xiao Qian to the third ship platform. The ship's platform is a restricted area, heavily guarded, and it can only be entered after two open posts and a dark post. Looking at the busy workers, Jiao Yunjun whispered to Xiao Qian, "Which department reviewed these masters?" ”

Xiao Qian said that it was first reviewed by the shipyard's military control team and recommended to the command, and then the command conducted a second review , both technical and political. The political examination is very strict, in addition to reviewing the content that has been reviewed by the factory security department, it is also necessary to issue certificates by the neighborhood committee, the police station, and the sub-bureau, and these certificates are also randomly checked on the spot and confirmed to be correct before passing. In terms of technology, everyone has undergone on-site technical assessment with Soviet experts present, and the technical standards of various types of work must meet the fifth level of Soviet standards (at that time, China had not yet promulgated technical standards) to pass. Workers who were approved to participate in the construction of the "101 Project" were paid 50 percent, and food was provided free of charge by the unit; the factory also sent rice, cooking oil, salted fish, salted meat and other side foods to everyone's family every five days. Each master signed a confidentiality agreement stipulating that they could not go home during construction, could not communicate with the outside world on the phone, and could not meet other people, including fellow factory workers, who lived in collective dormitories with PLA guards.

Then the three scouts inspected the ship's platform and found that it matched the sketch on the book. Ask xiao qian to bring ropes and tape measures, and measured some data on the ship's platform, which also corresponded to the contents of the book recorded in English and Arabic numerals. Near the warehouse there is a separate bungalow, two rooms inside and outside, which were once used to store motor oil, but are now empty, and there is a small courtyard of about ten square meters in the back, which the investigators temporarily borrow as an office.

Jiao Yunjun said, "Let's take a break here for a while and talk about our respective opinions by the way." After inspecting the field, coupled with the knowledge of shipbuilding that Xiao Tan said, I have now understood the significance of the sketches in that book for the enemy side--the shipyard's shipyard is the workshop for manufacturing ships, and its size is closely related to the size and weight of the ships to be built on the platform, and if the ship platform does not meet the requirements, it is impossible to build a specific ship on it. Jiangnan Shipyard's existing several docks, only the third is empty, this time to accept the special task of trial production of torpedo boats, the original conditions of the platform is difficult to meet, although other ships have suitable, but can not be quickly vacated, the shipyard has to transform the third platform, whether in time or economically, this is the most cost-effective way. On the basis of the information gathered, the enemy special forces managed to successfully spy on the transformation of the third ship platform, and if the data they obtained were sent to Taiwan, the enemy side could deduce the basic situation of the torpedo boat we tried to produce. Xiao Tan, you are an expert, my understanding is right? ”

Tan Xian, a former student of the Shipbuilding Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was blacklisted by the Kuomintang for his active participation in progressive activities, and the organization urgently notified him to evacuate Shanghai to the Liberated Areas. He has studied professional knowledge for more than two years, and although he has never interned in a shipyard, he certainly knows more about this than the average person. Listening to Jiao Yunjun's analysis, he nodded his head in agreement.

The three of them then went on to analyze that the sketches and data on the book were completely consistent with the situation at the scene of the third ship platform, and must have come from the hands of insiders familiar with the scene. The person who provided this information to the enemy side apparently had a pass to enter and exit Platform Three. At this point, the three investigators all felt that their confidence was rising--if that was the case, as long as they checked among the people who held the No. 3 Platform Pass, they would definitely be able to find out. Sha Maolin and Tan Xian were very excited, saying that they would act immediately, the scope of this investigation was not large, and it should not be too troublesome. Jiao Yunjun said that he had to hurry up, otherwise, he was afraid that the debts would be borne again after the debts were not cleared.

What does this mean? Jiao Yunjun saw Sha Maolin and Tan Xian looking at him with puzzled eyes, and then explained: "I have done secret intelligence work before, and more than once I have spied on the enemy's artillery positions, munitions warehouses, and secret strongholds in disguise. In my experience, what the enemy needed was all the technical information of the new torpedo boats, and the data written down in that book was only the data of Platform Three, but only fur. Our side is holding back a lot of energy to solve the case, and their side is definitely holding back a momentum to continue to steal information. If we do not seize the action and wait for the enemy's side to succeed, we will be in a big disaster! ”

Later facts proved that Jiao Yunjun's assessment was completely accurate.

Then hurry up. Jiao Yunjun immediately informed Commissar Nie of the investigation ideas. Although Commissar Nie appeared "cold" on his face, he fully supported the work of the special task force, and in his words, "You are working for our command headquarters," and immediately provided a list of holders of the ship platform pass. There were a total of eighty-two people on the list, and the investigators first circled the four names that had been granted the permit after the day the book was found, and then selected Ji Xinzhen, Nie Anxu, Xiao Qian, and other members of the engineering command, and the remaining fifty workers and masters were the objects that needed to be examined one by one.

As mentioned earlier, these workers have already gone through two rounds of review by the shipyard and the engineering command, and the task force has looked at their materials first, of course, it is impossible to find any problems, otherwise they would have been found long ago. How to investigate? Jiao Yunjun has his own opinion. The strategy he adopted was called "seeking far away from the near", that is, not to investigate within the "101 Project", but to investigate other departments and workshops of the shipyard outside the scope of the project. From September 1 to 3, he and Sha Maolin and Tan Xian came into contact with 173 people, all of whom were employees of various departments related to the current construction of project 101. For the two chiefs, Ji Xinzhen and Nie Anxu, this method of work of the investigators was simply incredible, muttering to each other, "I don't know what ghost I'm messing with." However, this kind of "trick-or-treating" actually made a name for itself.

On the afternoon of September 3, Jiao Yunjun proposed to Commissar Nie that the two workers, Xu Ding and Wang Qingshui, who were working, be immediately summoned off the ship platform and isolated for examination. Commissar Nie did not know how the investigators had suspected Xu and Wang, and felt puzzled, but it was inconvenient to ask, and according to the discipline explained by the superiors, there was only a share of close cooperation. So, what is suspicious about Xu Ding and Wang Qingshui?

First of all, Xu Ding, this is a twenty-six-year-old young man, a native of Chuansha County, Pudong District, whose ancestors have been masons for three generations, and he is already the fourth generation. In the old days, men who usually came from this kind of family basically had only one way to go, that is, the son inherited his father's business and learned the craft from his father, and Xu Ding was no exception. When he was seven years old, the Xu family moved into the city and lived in the Dajing Pavilion in Nanshi, and when the family was still well off, the family let him go to primary school. In the fourth grade, my grandfather died of illness, and he left a last word before his death, it was useless to read, or let his grandson learn the craft. As a result, Xu Ding's formal studies ended and he worked with his father from then on. He was not as dead-eyed as his grandfather and father, and he only knew how to follow the previous generation to wield a mud knife. Xu Ding's heart is working, although he does not talk much, he likes to ponder when things happen, and he secretly pays attention to the carpenters who often work together, and a few years later, he actually learned the two skills of coarse and fine woodworking (in the old Jiangnan region, the carpentry work was divided into two kinds of buildings and furniture, called "coarse" and "fine" carpenters). In this way, by the age of twenty, Xu Ding entered the Jiangnan Shipyard (at that time, when Shanghai fell, the Jiangnan Shipyard was renamed "Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute") and has been working until now.

When selecting the "101 Project" construction personnel this time, because Xu Ding had been doing the work of building and maintaining the ship's platform before, and whether it was the Japanese supervisor, the Kuomintang factory or the current shipyard military management group, they all unanimously believed that the young man had done a good job, his craftsmanship was good, and his work attitude was good -- no matter how tired he was, he never complained; after being reprimanded, even if he was wrongly trained, there was no anger, the factory recommended him to the "101 Project" preparatory group. After two rounds of political examination, no problems were found, and they were formally hired. When the special task force checked the materials of the fifty workers participating in the construction one by one, Xu Ding passed smoothly. However, when the non-"101 Project" construction personnel were investigated next, the investigators found a situation.

This situation is not big, but it is suspected of passing on intelligence. Warehouse accountant Lao Lin told investigators that at about 3 p.m. on August 22, Xu Ding came to the warehouse to receive the scraper. According to the regulations, to receive tools or parts and materials, etc., it is necessary to check the name, quantity and purpose of the items filled in by the warehouse manager in the picking register, and sign it without error before taking it away. If someone receives more things, more than a dozen or even dozens of things, the time for checking is relatively long, and the pickers in the back must wait in line. That day, Xu Ding encountered this situation, he only received two scrapers, but the welder in the other workshop in front of him was pushing a cart, and it was obvious that he had more things to receive.

The consignor knew that Xu Ding was the "101 Project", and he also knew that the project time was tight, so he said to the welder whether to let the latter handle it first, he was two scrapers, sign a name on the line. But the one who refused, said don't you have a rule posted there? No one can interject.

From beginning to end, Xu Ding did not say a word, the expression on his face was still the same, and he kept that decent smile. Old Lin was more than ten meters away from him, watching this scene from a distance, and felt that this young man had a good temper. At this time, Xu Ding suddenly left that position and walked towards the opposite window. Old Lin was stunned, secretly wondering what he was doing at the opposite window? It's not a window for production materials, and even if people agree to insert files for you, they can't do the picking procedures!

Of all the factory warehouses, if there is a variety of stored goods, the shipyard should be the first. Customer-customized ship, is a set of machine operation, transportation, crew life in one of the water activities area, according to international regulations, a new ship out of the factory, all the production, daily necessities on board must be equipped. These items were provided by the shipyard warehouse. It is not difficult to imagine the completeness of all kinds of items stored in the shipyard warehouse, only in terms of life, as long as ordinary people need it, the warehouse can get it. At this moment, the window that Xu Ding walked past was dedicated to providing daily necessities.

Coming to the window, he said hello to the girl inside, said something, and suddenly turned his head to notice if anyone was paying attention to him. Old Lin looked in his eyes, even more puzzled, he did not understand what he was going to do, suddenly saw Xu Ding quickly take out an object from the cargo pants pocket and hand it to the girl. According to Lao Lin's recollection, the thing looked like a note that was slightly smaller than a slap.

This situation aroused the vigilance of the investigators, and it was clear that there were stipulations that all the personnel participating in the construction of the "101 Project" were not allowed to talk to the outside world on the phone or communicate with the outside world. Therefore, the special case team must isolate and review Xu Ding. So, what about Wang Qingshui, another sheet metal worker who was quarantined and censored?

Wang Qingshui, also known as Wang Bowei, was born in Shanghai in 1912 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, whose father was originally a mariner on foreign ships, and later opened a workshop-style trading house that made and sold ship supplies. Wang Qingshui attended the primary school for six years, and after graduation, he worked with his father and did business. At that time, there was an old man surnamed Xing in the trading house, who was originally a famous sheet metal worker in Shanghai, and later because he was old and could not do his own business, he invested in Lao Wang's business house to do some chores. The young Wang Qingshui had a relationship with Old Man Xing, and the two were together all day, either working or chatting, and thus learned the art of sheet metalworking. When he was twenty-two years old, Jiangnan Shipyard recruited technicians from the society, and Wang Qingshui applied for employment and was hired on the spot.

This time to engage in the "101 Project", with Wang Qingshui's technical level, it will naturally be recommended by the factory. After two rounds of political trials, it was also successfully passed, and the appraisal conclusion in the materials was: "The history is innocent, I have never participated in any political parties or gangs, and I have no criminal record." ”

When the task force re-examined the fifty workers participating in the construction, it went to the police station of the pipe section where Wang Qingshui's family was located. People said that Jiangnan Shipyard and the military had already come to investigate, and found no problems. The investigator said that we were acting according to the rules, and that there was no basis for saying that there was no basis for your words, and that you would like to give us your household registration file, and if you confirm that the previous two rounds of investigation are consistent with the situation of this investigation, then please give us a certificate. The police at the police station were very busy, but they still did as the investigators asked.

Originally, I thought that the investigation of Wang Qingshui had ended, but the next day the investigators suddenly received a phone call from the head of the police station, saying that the substation had transferred an anonymous whistle-blowing letter reporting that Wang Qingshui was a "military unification" agent, saying that he had a nose and an eye -- in 1941, he joined the "military unification" underground organization, was responsible for collecting information on the construction of military ships at the Jiangnan Shipyard that had been accepted by the Japanese Kou, received monthly activity funds, and was rewarded for his outstanding work many times. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the "Secrecy Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense," which was reorganized by the "military command," continued to use Wang Qingshui and ordered him to collect information on the activities of the underground communist party in the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute.

After Xu Ding and Wang Qingshui were isolated, investigators interrogated them separately, and both of them flatly denied that they had any problems. After two hours of deliberation, no progress was made. Jiao Yunjun proposed to change the way, first from the peripheral investigation, to obtain more evidence, and then face to face with the two.

Therefore, ling Yanping, the girl at the warehouse distribution window of daily necessities, was called by the warehouse leader when she was preparing to leave after work. Following, out of nowhere, two people flashed out, Xiao Ling fixed her eyes on it, one of them she knew, was Lao Liu, a security cadre of the factory security office, and the other was also a person from the security department. The girl felt puzzled and was about to ask a question, lao Liu said Xiao Ling, don't ask anything, obediently follow us. They took Ling Yanping to an office in the security office, where Jiao Yunjun and Sha Maolin were already waiting for her. Xiao Ling pulled the corner of Lao Liu's clothes that was about to leave, and said Old Liu, you tell me, what is going on?

Old Liu had something to do with Ling Yanping's father. He was an underground party member, and it was Xiao Ling's father, Ling Yan, who introduced him to the party. Ling Yan disappeared a year before the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression when he was ordered to cross the sea across the sea in Pudong to the Simingshan Anti-Japanese Base Area, and was unable to find out the cause until the liberation of Shanghai. According to the regulations at that time, until the reason for Lao Ling's disappearance was ascertained, his identity could not be determined, and his family could not receive any preferential treatment. Lao Liu learned that the Ling family's life was difficult, so he wrote a letter to the organization to reflect that Ling Yanping was recruited by jiangnan shipyard as an exception and became a warehouse manager. Old Liu did not expect that the girl was pulled on the high-voltage line of the "101 Project" this time, not to mention that he was a small security cadre, that is, the head of the security department and even the military representative were afraid that they could not help. At this moment, Xiao Ling asked him, and he had to warn the girl: "Cooperate well with the organization of the investigation, ask what to say truthfully!" ”

Ling Yanping realized that she had a very serious matter, she had never had the experience of being forced to ask questions by the autumn wind and black face, and she was trembling at the moment to answer the question. Soon, the investigators found out what happened to Xu Ding's "sneaky" contact with Ling Yanping in violation of the law. In short, the young man is pursuing the girl, the relationship time is not long, the young man was transferred to the "101 Project". In this way, the contact between the two was broken. Just as he was worried, that day when he suddenly saw Xu Ding coming to the warehouse to pick up the materials, he frequently made eyes at himself, and immediately realized that there was the scene that Lao Lin witnessed.

Investigator Tan Xian, with the cooperation of Lao Liu and others, inspected Ling Yanping's office and found the love letter. Xu Ding's doubts were ruled out, and the young man handed it over to the factory to deal with, wrote an inspection, and was disqualified from serving the "101 Project".

After dealing with the matter, it was about seven o'clock in the evening, and the three investigators went to the shipyard canteen for dinner. Afterwards, Jiao Yunjun regretted that if he had not gone to dinner first, but to see the situation of another suspect, Wang Qingshui, the next thing would probably not have happened - Wang Qingshui, who was quarantined and examined, somehow escaped from the isolation room from under the eyes of the guards, and then was pushed down from the top of the chimney in the foundry workshop. Falling from the high chimney and breaking the word of life, but the murderer was still not at ease, and then threw down a piece of slot steel, smashing Wang Qingshui, who had already fallen to death, into a blur of blood and flesh!

Seventh, suicide or he kills

Previously, Wang Qingshui was isolated in a small independent building allocated by the shipyard to the "101 Project" headquarters, and Jiao Yunjun asked the Security Section of the Engineering Headquarters to arrange for special guards. In charge of guarding Wang Qingshui were two young security officers, Xiao Li and Xiao Wang. The political commissar Nie had taken care of the chief of the security section in advance, which was to assist the special case group in its work, and it was necessary to obey the orders of Jiao Yunjun's group leader, let him do whatever he wanted, and only guard the quarantined people and could not talk, so Xiao Li and Xiao Wang just firmly stared at Wang Qingshui, who was staying in the small conference room on the east end of the second floor, and did not dare to contact him, or even dare to talk to him.

When it was time for dinner, Xiao Li asked Xiao Wang to go to the canteen to eat, and then brought back two meals, one for him and the other for Wang Qingshui. After Xiao Wang left, Xiao Li continued to stare at Wang Qingshui, not daring to relax. After a while, he was ordered to cooperate with the investigators to search For Ling Yanping's office, Xiao Qian, another security officer, returned to Xiao Lou after completing his mission, and he and Xiao Wang were in the same dormitory, and happened to forget to bring the key today, and wanted to borrow Xiao Wang's, so they went to the small conference room in the east.

According to the regulations, Xiao Qian could not enter the place where Wang Qingshui was isolated, so he had to wave at Xiao Li outside the door and ask Xiao Wang where he had gone. Xiao Li came to the door and told Xiao Qian, saying that Xiao Wang had gone to the canteen, and asked you if the matter over there was over? It seems that our side can't finish for a while and three moments, and it is certain that we will stay up late tonight, and we can only find an opportunity to take a nap during the day tomorrow. After a few words of chat, Xiao Qian was hungry, thinking that instead of waiting for Xiao Wang here, it would be better to go to the canteen to fill his stomach first, and when he met Xiao Wang, he just took the key from him, so he resigned.

The two of them stayed at the door of the small conference room for up to two minutes, and when Xiao Li returned to enter the room, there was no longer Wang Qingshui in the conference room! The window was wide open, and it was obvious that this guy had climbed out of the window and slid down the downspout.

Jiao Yunjun heard the report, so anxious that he almost jumped to his feet, regretting that he should not go to the canteen with the three of them, if he left one person to guard the suspect, it would be fine. But now it was too late for the horse rear artillery, so he immediately discussed countermeasures with Commissar Nie, and a moment later, the "101 Project" command issued an order through the military management group of the Jiangnan Shipyard to immediately block all the entrance and exit passages of the whole factory and mobilize all the personnel on duty of the whole factory to search for Wang Qingshui's traces in the entire factory area.

As soon as the operation began, Wang Qingshui had news——

The three workers who had not yet left the foundry after work heard the broadcast and immediately returned, ready to accept the leader's arrangement to participate in the search. When they walked to the bottom of the twenty-meter-high chimney at the west gate of the workshop, there was a strange noise in the air, and when they looked up, they saw a black object falling into the air, rapidly smashing towards them, frightening them to "Ma Ya" and fleeing in all directions. As soon as the person left, Wang Qingshui had already smashed to the ground, followed by a three-meter-long section of channel steel falling down, and was smashing on Wang Qingshui's half-amputated body, and its tragic situation could be imagined.

After receiving the report of the special case team, the municipal bureau quickly assigned a forensic doctor to the scene. Due to the narrow area at the top of the chimney, Jiao Yunjun and the three of them took turns to climb up to investigate, as did zhang and Kong, two forensic doctors, one of whom was Kong forensic doctor who may have a fear of heights, and when he came down, his foot bones were weak and his face was pale. At that time, there was no such thing as a fear of heights, so Jiao Yunjun even looked down on this old man a little. However, after a while, he had to look at this matter differently, and the views put forward by this middle-aged forensic doctor who graduated from the medical school of St. John's University in Shanghai and received technical guidance from foreign experts in the public concession patrol house for several years made the special case team take a few detours in the investigation work and save a lot of time.

When analyzing the cause of death, Dr. Zhang believed that Wang Qingshui had fallen from a high altitude. At the same time, the three-meter-long channel steel that fell was not the cause of death, because Wang Qingshui was already dead at the first time he landed, and the channel steel only caused serious damage to the body. As for whether Wang Qingshui jumped from the chimney himself or was pushed down by someone, it is impossible to judge for the time being. However, Zhang Forensic's view was inclined to kill him, on the grounds that the channel steel was at least indicating that there was still a person present when Wang Qingshui jumped off the chimney.

All three investigators agreed that Dr. Zhang's views were justified. They had all surveyed the chimney and knew that the factory was preparing to overhaul the chimney and had already set up scaffolding with moso bamboo around it. More than an hour before Wang Qingshui climbed up, several construction workers had just come down from above, the traces on the scene were messy, and when the investigators surveyed the scene, they could not even find Wang Qingshui's footprints, let alone fingerprints. The only basis for supporting this view is the channel steel. How did this heavy channel steel appear on top of the chimney? I asked the construction staff and learned that it was because of the construction need to be hoisted with a fairy gourd (that is, an inverted chain).

While listening to others' speeches, Jiao Yunjun casually drew a schematic map of the scene. In this painting, I suddenly found that it was difficult to understand: if it is said that the murderer tricked or abducted Wang Qingshui to the scene, then how did the murderer get off the chimney after killing people, and how did he escape from the foundry workshop?

From the time calculation, from the top of the chimney down along the iron simple ladder to the ground, the fastest time is two or three minutes. After Wang Qingshui fell, the entire casting workshop was a sensation, hundreds of night shift workers ran to the scene to watch the liveliness, and there were many people around the simple ladder, until the security section personnel and investigators arrived at the scene and left after a period of persuasion. In other words, it is impossible for the murderer to escape from the simple ladder before people arrive at the scene. So, where did the murderer go? Hiding on scaffolding? The investigators and the forensic doctor went up and down several times, and each layer of scaffolding was unobstructed, and there was no way to hide people. Or did you hide in the chimney? It doesn't make sense. According to the situation at that time, the murderer could only enter the inside of the chimney from the top, was there a place to stay?

Jiao Yunjun told his thoughts, and Sha Maolin, Tan Xian, and the two forensic doctors all thought that this possibility could not be ruled out. Therefore, Jiao Yunjun and Tan Xian took a large glare flashlight and went up to the top of the chimney again to check repeatedly, and the surface of the protruding bricks on the inner wall of the chimney for people to stand on and the wooden planks shelved during construction were all black and gray, and there was no trace of being stepped on.

This is strange, if he killed, how did the murderer escape after he attacked? Several people discussed for a while, still unable to get the point. Jiao Yunjun pondered for a moment: "It seems that we have to change our perspective - Wang Qingshui did not die from his killing, but committed suicide." Do you see if there is a basis for this? He said, glancing at the crowd. Everyone was silent, but Jiao Yunjun suddenly found that kong forensic doctor, who had been secretly laughing at himself in his heart before, had some expressions of wanting to say something and stopped, so he nodded at him, "Kong forensic doctor, you can talk about it." ”

In the life experience before Kong Forensic Medicine, after liberation, he belonged to the category of "historical stains", he had self-knowledge, and he did not stick to anything that was in the limelight and competed for credit, so as not to be criticized. Of course, in the political climate of that era, no matter how careful he was, he could not protect himself, and was later designated as a rightist during the "anti-rightist" period, escorted to the Baimaoling Labor Reform Farm in Anhui Province, and finally starved to death in the era known as the "three-year natural disaster". At the time of this case, there were still more than ten years before Kong Forensic's death.

Being so famous by Jiao Yunjun, Kong Forensic Doctor had to say a few words. His view is that Wang Qingshui's so-called "jumping chimney" is actually "jumping scaffolding" - the entire chimney has been surrounded by moso bamboo scaffolding, and can only stand on the scaffolding and jump down. However, the moso bamboo of the scaffolding is long and short, and the long ones are unevenly stretched out of the scaffolding, if you jump down when you are blocked by the outstretched moso bamboo, or even by the moso bamboo of different heights, it is difficult to say whether it is dead, if you make a half-dead, then the next situation is definitely better than death.

But Wang Qingshui had already made up his mind, and in order to step into the Hall of The King of Yan without fail, he used his brain - he stuck the channel steel on the scaffold, and the person stood on the channel steel, first helped to run and then jump down, to ensure that the fall was not blocked by the extended moso bamboo. It was precisely because of this running action that the channel steel, which was already stuck unsteadily, could not stand the strength, and it was loosened under Wang Qingshui's violent pedaling, and it also fell down.

Jiao Yunjun greatly appreciated this point of view of Kong Forensic Doctor, and even called it "reasonable". The three investigators climbed to the top of the chimney again to check it out, and sure enough, they found that there were obvious marks of hard objects worn on the moso bamboo on the outside of the top scaffolding.

It was already 2 a.m. on September 4. For Jiao Yunjun and the other three investigators, although this matter was clearly investigated, it was not happy, and there was not even a feeling of relaxation. The suspect Wang Qingshui committed suicide during the quarantine review, not only the clue was cut off, but the investigator may also need to bear certain responsibilities. However, Jiao Yunjun was not thinking about responsibility at this time--he did not have time to think about it. What needs to be ascertained now is whether Wang Qingshui was the one who revealed the secret of the third platform to the enemy side.

Early the next morning, the three investigators met and decided to check Wang Qingshui's social relations first, mainly the shipyard, because the anonymous report letter transmitted by the sub-bureau said that Wang Qingshui's secret service activities were mainly carried out in Jiangnan Shipbuilding before the liberation of Shanghai. This investigation needs the support of the Jiangnan Shipyard, and immediately contact the military control group, which said that it will fully cooperate. Jiao Yunjun had already considered how to carry out the investigation, and at the moment asked the comrades of the Security Department to provide Wang Qingshui with the workshops, sections, and teams that Wang Qingshui had stayed in since he entered the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute, as well as the workers who were particularly close to him.

This was almost easy for the security department, and soon someone sent the above materials, and the two young people who came were Xiao Li and Xiao Wang, who were guarding Wang Qingshui. They said that the security department asked them to come and listen to the investigators' summons, let them do whatever they wanted, and ensure that they would do a good job, and Xiao Li also whispered a sentence, saying that there would never be any more accidents in which the isolated subject escaped.

The three investigators took turns to look at the materials and found that Wang Qingshui had no particularly good co-workers in the three years when he first entered the shipyard until the victory of the War of Resistance, but only had some contacts with Four or five young workers, such as Peng Songlin and Bi Zhilong. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Peng Songlin entered the shipyard and became the chief of the factory intelligence unit, and he and Wang Qingshui walked more diligently. Investigators became interested. Jiao Yunjun has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time, and he knows everything about organizations such as the "factory intelligence unit" that ordinary people may feel strange to, and knows that it is a peripheral secret service organization set up by the Social Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Government of the Kuomintang to let the major factories set up to collect intelligence on the employees of the factory. Wang Qingshui's relationship with the director of the factory intelligence unit is not ordinary, which just shows that the accusations against him in the whistle-blowing letter are not empty. Jiao Yunjun pointed to the name of "Peng Songlin" on the material and asked Li and Wang: "Where is this person now?" ”

"After the liberation, the factory intelligence unit was dissolved, peng Songlin left the shipyard, and heard that he was now doing business with people and opening a company in the North Station area."

Investigators contacted the North Station Substation and learned that Peng Songlin had been arrested for historical issues and detained in the city bureau detention center. At about 4 p.m. on the same day, the three investigators went to the city bureau to interrogate Peng Songlin, and learned that he was recruited as an intelligence officer by Wang Qingshui, an underground personnel of the "military command," during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and often used his work to provide Wang with intelligence on the Japanese side. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Qingshui was commended by the "military command" and was heard that he was also promoted to an official. On Wang's recommendation, Peng Songlin was also transformed from an ordinary worker to a unit chief because of his efforts to assist Wang Qingshui in collecting intelligence. This was also good for Wang Qingshui — since he received a salary from the "Secrecy Bureau" (after Dai Kasa's death was reorganized by the "military command"), he had to often provide information on the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute to the "Secrecy Bureau", and Peng Songlin's job was to collect the dynamics of the factory's employees, so as long as he copied a copy to Wang, he could let him pay the difference.

So, what kind of activities did Wang Qingshui have in this regard after the liberation of Shanghai? This, Peng Songlin does not know. He left jiangnan shipyard a week after the liberation of Shanghai and has not met Wang Qingshui since.

On September 5, Jiao Yunjun, Sha Maolin, and Tan Xian, accompanied by Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Qian, divided into three groups and talked with 48 employees (the original fifty people, Xu Ding had been transferred, and Wang Qingshui committed suicide) who participated in the improvement project of the Third Ship Platform. This is a direct investigation by the special case team into whether Wang Qingshui was involved in this case before his death, so the conversation with each employee was very meticulous, especially those employees who worked with Wang Qingshui, dined together, and stayed together. That evening, investigators compiled investigation materials and found no signs that Wang Qingshui had violated discipline and contacted outsiders or conveyed information to the outside world after participating in the ship's platform improvement project.

At nine o'clock that night, Jiao Yunjun returned to the site of the special case group and held a meeting with Hao Zhenru and Zhi Fude, two other members of the party branch of the special case group, to report on the investigation at the Jiangnan Shipyard so far and the conclusions drawn from it: Wang Qingshui did have serious historical problems, but the investigation did not involve the case. After the investigators entered the shipyard and isolated it for review, Wang thought that his previous work for the "Secrecy Bureau" had been exposed, so he committed suicide in fear.

For Jiao Yunjun, Sha Maolin, and Tan Xian, this conclusion means that the previous work has been done in vain, and it is necessary to find another entry point to start all over again. So, what is the progress of Hao Zhenru, Zhang Baoxian, and Sun Shenyan, who are working with them at the same time to investigate the inexplicable poisoning of Guan Yisheng?

8. Arrest failure

Hao Zhenru and the three people believe that there are three ways to try the investigation of the "one-headed" conspiracy -

First, from the time calculation, the enemy side borrowed a motorcycle from Guan Yisheng should be after learning that the whereabouts of the leather bag were related to Liu Xiaodog, that is, august 27, then, they poisoned Guan Yisheng should be in the period before Guan Yisheng was summoned from August 27 to 31, so it is possible to find clues by checking Guan Yisheng's activities and contact objects during this time period. The second is to check from the point where Guan Yisheng's motorcycle was borrowed: Who borrowed it from him? When did you borrow it? When was it returned? What is the relationship between the borrower and Guan Yisheng? The third is to keep an eye on the personnel who are usually close to Guan Yisheng (including several apprentices in the car repair shop) to investigate whether they have a chance to poison Guan.

Weighing it up, the investigators decided to start the investigation on the third route.

Hao Zhenru, Zhang Baoxian, and Sun Shenyan went to Xuchang Road in Yulin District and summoned xiao hong, xiao ma, and xiao jiang through the guanduan police station to summon the three car repair workers (originally four, Xiao Shen had been arrested for injuring people in a fight). These three were practicing wrestling with the "one wrestler", each of them was strong and strong, standing in front of the scouts in a row, like three iron towers standing on the ground. Hao Zhenru was more polite to them and let the seats make tea and hand over cigarettes. The three obeyed the order, took the teacup, but did not smoke cigarettes, saying that when they worshiped the master, they had made a pact not to smoke and poison (referring to tobacco products and opium) for the rest of their lives, and they must strictly abide by it.

Then they got back to the point and asked the three if they had ever thought about why Master Guan was poisoned. The content of the three people's answers was basically the same: of course, they thought about it, and they are still thinking about it, but they can't think of anyone who would form such a deep bond with Master Guan and even lay such a poisonous hand. I hope that the government can find out that they need to serve despite the orders, even if they go to the soup and go to the fire.

The next thing is to understand what guan Yisheng's friends are, the investigators while recording, there is a feeling of scalp tingling - just the name and nickname are full of five pieces of paper, so how much time does it take for such people to find out! When analyzing the possibility of poisoning, the scope was not large - in those days, Guan Yisheng slept in the open air at night, coughing, diarrhea, so he refused all meals, and did not even go out.

So, how did that motorcycle get out? None of the three disciples could say this. In addition to learning martial arts in the morning and evening, they usually repair cars during the day. Guan's car repair shop is doing very good business, and there is not much free time from morning to night. Master Guan's motorcycle was parked in his residence a hundred meters away, and he usually did not stay in the car repair shop all day, so who borrowed the car from him and when he drove the car away, they did not know.

The three investigators returned to the station, discussed for a while, and decided to go to Xiao Shen, who was still in the detention center, to investigate. Xiao Shen's name was Shen Kaifang, seventeen years old, the youngest of the four car repairmen. He was a member of the Xinghua clan in northern Jiangsu, and fled to Shanghai with his parents, and later his parents died of the epidemic, and he became a wandering child. It is said that this is the only one of all the apprentices who have received the "one-headed" and the only one who is lacking in both the head and the pound. Xiao Shen was only one meter six three, weighing more than a hundred pounds, and it was said that with this kind of physique, Guan Yisheng would not accept him as a disciple. However, Shen Kaifang was an exception. Why?

According to Xiao Shen's three brothers, Master Guan was a bit superstitious and often asked fortune tellers to predict their fortunes. About a year ago, Master Guan met a high-ranking person who said that he might be ruined recently, but he could avoid it by accepting a monkey disciple. Master Guan was half suspicious of this, but unexpectedly three days later, his precious motorcycle was stolen by someone, and only then did he know that the tall man was indeed high, and he quickly followed the method pointed out by the high man to remedy it.

At noon the next day, he put a black cloth in his face and blindfolded his eyes, and asked his apprentice to lead him on the road. After walking for a while, estimating that the time was almost up, I took off the cloth strip. According to the tall man, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was the one who followed his fate. The one Guan Yisheng saw was a beggar, Shen Kaifang. On the third day, an acquaintance of the police station came to inform him that the person who stole the motorcycle had been caught, because there was a gang leader interceding, and the upper side let him go, but the motorcycle was to be returned to the owner. So, Guan Yisheng bought two good cigarettes and went to the police station to bring the car back. From then on, he looked at this closed disciple differently, and even connived at everything, which led to the boy's bullying, breaking the bones of others, and being detained by the sub-bureau.

When the investigators saw Shen Kaifang in the detention center, they thought that they must have a look of frustration and surprise, but he was very calm, and he heard the investigators say that Guan Yisheng had an accident and was physically ill, and he still did not change his look. Let him answer the questions that his brothers have already answered, his words are no more and no less, and the content is about the same as that of the brothers. These answers have no value for the investigators, but they have gone through the procedure and investigated this part of the investigation one by one, without omission.

After checking these objects, a day passed. The next day, the three investigators discussed it and decided that there was no other shortcut, so they had to visit Guan Yisheng's friends who had recently been in contact with him according to the list obtained yesterday. This kind of investigation workload is not to say, it is not necessarily possible to find out the clues, and the three investigators are a little unsure. At this time, Zhi Fude, the investigator in charge of staying on duty, came over and informed the Yulin branch detention center that he had just called and that the person who had been interrogated yesterday had something to say.

When I saw Shen Kaifang again, his expression was completely different from yesterday, and as soon as we met, he asked urgently, "What happened to my master?" ”

"Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"You said yesterday that my master had an accident and was physically ill, and I thought it was just a little bit of a problem, where do you know that he was poisoned?"

Yesterday evening, Shen Kaifang's cell was locked up with a rogue criminal Fu Mou. According to the rules of the detention center, the newly arrived prisoners are called "new household heads" and have to accept the adjustment of the "old household heads" - called "school roads", but there can be an exception for one kind of person, that is, the master who is a little famous on the road. This rich man was a well-known hooligan on the road, and when he entered the door, he reported to himself: "Hello brothers! The brother is Badaitou Furenshan. ”

In fact, it didn't matter if he didn't report it, because in this cell where twenty prisoners were locked up, at least five or six people recognized who he was, and naturally he was given preferential treatment. Then, Fu Mou recognized Shen Kaifang and said that you are not a closed disciple of "a wrestling head", how did you come in? Do you know about your master? Shen Kaifang knew that the master was poisoned and unconscious, and after the panic, tears fell like rain. "A wrestling head" was famous in Shanghai Beach at that time, black and white, and other people could not help but sigh when they heard it.

That night, Shen Kaifang lost sleep and lay on the bunk in the corner of the cell. Remembering that the three investigators had come to interrogate during the day, I realized that they must have come to investigate the clues of Master Guan's murder. For the master's poisoning, Xiao Shen felt that he might be able to provide some help to the public security bureau.

Why? Because Guan Yisheng is superstitious. Ever since listening to the fortune teller's words and accepting him as a closed disciple, Guan Yisheng has done everything smoothly. More than three months after the liberation of Shanghai, the Military Control Commission put up notices in the streets and alleys of the city, ordering all those who had participated in the forgery (including the Beiyang government, the Japanese puppets, and the Kuomintang reactionaries) party, government, and military special police constitutions, the "Three Youth Leagues," the reactionary Huidaomen, and other bullies and lawbreakers, to register within ten days, and to later find out those who concealed and failed to report them, and severely punish them for not taking out loans. After Guan Yisheng knew about it, he honestly went to the substation to register. When the reception staff heard that he was a well-known "wrestling head", they attached great importance to him, and even the team did not have to be lined up, and directly called him to fill in the form and press his fingerprints. When Guan Yisheng left, he heard the whispers of those waiting people waiting in line outside, saying that they all said that they would see the police have such an attitude towards him, and it was estimated that the problem was serious, and he did not know whether he could survive Huang Mei - I heard that Huang Mei would definitely shoot a group of people before and after.

Guan Yisheng listened to nature and his heart jumped. By the end of June and the beginning of July, Huang Meitian had indeed executed hundreds of counter-revolutionaries and bullies who had committed the most heinous crimes one after another, but Guan Yisheng was safe and sound, and even the household registration police had not come to him. Guan Yisheng did not know what was going on, thinking that the Communist Party should be frank and lenient, I would go and turn myself in, get an initiative, maybe from leniency.

When you come to the substation, the receptionist listens to him report to the door and says what did you turn yourself in? What pseudo-positions have you held? Which side has you been a spy? Which gang have you participated in? Guan Yisheng said that I worked in the "big world" for seven years. The other party said that you are a wrestler in the "big world", not a "bodyguard", we have a policy, wrestlers are artists, but also the working class oppressed by capitalists.

For Guan Yisheng, this is indeed a windfall. And this serendipity is undoubtedly related to the acceptance of Shen Kaifang, a closed disciple, so it is better for Xiao Shen. Shen Kaifang, originally a beggar, was suddenly accepted as an apprentice by the famous "one wrestler" on the beach, had a stable career, ate and dressed warmly, and had pocket money in his pocket, and he was grateful to Master Guan. A few days ago, Guan Yisheng was slightly sick, coughing and diarrhea, he did not go to work in the car repair shop, and stayed by Guan Yisheng's side every day to wait. The night before Master Guan's accident, he went out to buy mung bean cake for the master, was hit by a bicycle, and also grabbed the car to make a loss, and he couldn't bear it before he moved, but he didn't know the severity of the hand, and as a result, he hurt people into the bureau.

During the three or four days when the master was ill, Shen Kaifang had been staying by the master's side, and if someone secretly calculated the master, Shen Kaifang thought that he should be able to find a clue. Because the master did not go out in those few days, every guest who came to the door, Shen Kaifang, took a picture of the door, the door he opened, the tea he brewed, and the guest he sent, so he asked the detention center to relay on his behalf the three investigators who interrogated him yesterday, saying that there was a situation to be provided.

When the three investigators heard Shen Kaifang say this, they immediately saw hope again, and immediately asked who borrowed the motorcycle from Master Guan. Shen Kaifang said: "It was Mr. Wei who borrowed the car." ”

"Who is Mr. Wei?"

"Mr. Wei Kangsi, the steward of 'Hengyuantang'."

"'Hengyuantang'? Which shop is it called? ”

This, Shen Kaifang could not answer, but always listened to the master said so, but never asked in detail, the master never explained. He told investigators that on August 27, the day after Master Guan was unwell, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Kangsi came to visit with gifts. Guan Yisheng has always been more polite to this friend who comes about four or five times a year and must carry gifts every time, and the reason for the politeness is not because of gifts, those gifts he basically sends to others or lets the apprentices share. He was kind to Mr. Wei because this person has a wide range of roads, has friends on the beach and all over the Yangtze River Delta, and is helpful, and when friends encounter difficulties, he is responsive, and there is a good chance that he will do it for others, and he will only be thanked and not polite afterwards.

After Shen Kaifang visited his teacher, this Mr. Wei came three times. The first time he heard that Guan Yisheng had accepted the disciple of Guan Men, he immediately took off the gold ring on his hand as a meeting gift and gave it to Xiao Shen, and that generosity shocked Shen Kaifang. This time, when Mr. Wei came to the door, he received him warmly, made tea and served cigarettes, and then stood behind the master. Wei Kangsi accompanied Guan Yisheng to gossip for a while, and finally made it clear that he wanted to borrow a motorcycle from Guan Yisheng for two days. Guan Yisheng laughed, such a small matter, do you still have to go out on the horse yourself? Send a word, the brother immediately sent the car to the house!

Wei Kangsi thanked him again and again, and Guan Yisheng personally sent him out the door and rode away on the royal blue motorcycle. The next day, Wei Kangsi sent the motorcycle back, and when he entered the door, he pulled out the banknote and asked Shen Kaifang to go to the fruit shop to buy two cantaloupes. By the time Shen Kaifang bought the melon and returned, Wei Kangsi had already left. Soon after, Guan Yisheng went out on a motorcycle and did not return until the evening, but the motorcycle did not ride back. Xiao Shen noticed that Guan Yisheng's face was not very good, as if he had just quarreled with someone, and he did not dare to ask the reason. Guan Yisheng asked him to brew a cup of flower tea and paid him to buy a box of mung bean cakes. Xiao Shen was on the way back from buying mung bean cake.

Therefore, Hao Zhenru, Zhang Baoxian, and Sun Shenyan immediately went to inquire about what the "Hengyuan Hall" was. It sounds like a Chinese medicine shop, or it may be a gang hall that has stopped moving. Asked the Chinese Medicine Association, the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, all said they did not know; He also took a summary of the gang situation compiled by the Shanghai underground party organization on the basis of the intelligence collected before the liberation, which contained a list of all the gang halls in Shanghai beach from the end of the Qing Dynasty to before 1949 and the previous leaders, but the "Hengyuan Hall" was not found. Finally, I went to the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau and asked a few retainers of the Social Bureau of the old regime, only to learn that it was the name of a building. This courtyard located in the old city of Nanshi, which has a history of one hundred years, was originally an underground organ left by Liu Lichuan, a Fujianese, when he formed a knife club, and was later controlled by the Hong Gang, who resettled an overseas Chinese family returning from Nanyang after the Republic of China, and has been living there ever since.

The investigators learned from the Yimiao sub-bureau that the family who lived in "Hengyuantang" was surnamed Lu, and the old owner lu Xijin, who was a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman in Nanyang when he first moved in, was quite funded by the anti-Qing activities of the GuangfuHui and the League, and after the overthrow of the Qing court, Sun Yat-sen invited Lu to return to China to settle down, and the place of residence was optional, and the family's living expenses were provided by the Republic of China government, so Lu chose to settle in Shanghai. Sun Yat-sen instructed Chen Qimei, the governor of the Shanghai Army, to choose the location of the "Hengyuan Hall" in Nanshi for the Lu family to live in, and to issue a deed to the house, stating that the property was permanently owned by the Lu family free of charge, and that it could be demolished or sold at its disposal.

Lu Shi is a large family of more than a dozen people, and needs someone to manage it, which is commonly known as a housekeeper. Chen Qimei sent a butler for the Lu clan, Wei Mingdao. Wei Mingdao gang figures, ancestors have at least three generations of close relations with the Yangtze River north and south of the party, this relationship has been passed down from generation to generation, so the Wei family has a wide range of contacts in society, it is very convenient to do things. Such a person as a housekeeper, of course, is the best. In the thirty-seven years from 1912 to 1949, the head of the Lu clan of "Hengyuantang" has been changed to the third generation, and Mr. Guan Shi's hereditary generation has also been changed to the third generation, which is what Shen Kaifang said About Wei Kangsi.

In the household registration information of the Yimiao Branch, the registration content of Wei Kangsi is very simple - Wei Kangsi, alias Wei Miaopin, male, born on March 2, 1919, Han ethnicity, divorced, initial Chinese degree, is the lu family housekeeper; No historical problems have been identified, and there are no records of participation in any party groups. In popular parlance at the time, this record indicates that his people were "historically innocent." At this moment, hao Zhenru and other investigators certainly could not know that this Wei Kangsi was one of the members of the enemy special organization they were looking for, but at this point in the investigation, the investigators had reason to believe that the day when the truth was revealed was not far away.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the four investigators of the special case team, Hao Zhenru, Zhang Baoxian, Sun Shenyan, and Zhi Fude, held a meeting, and after studying, decided to go to the "Hengyuan Hall" that night to arrest Wei Kangsi. The reason why we set the action time at night is because we are afraid that people will have many eyes and miscellaneous eyes during the day, and it will be easy to leak wind and sound, which will affect future investigation. Hao Zhenru had always acted cautiously, and worried that there were still subtle loopholes that had not yet been discovered, so he sent investigators Zhang Baoxian and Sun Shenyan disguised to the vicinity of the "Hengyuan Hall" in the Yimiao District to closely monitor and prevent Wei Kangsi from detecting that the situation was not greasing the soles of his feet or committing suicide. This arrangement can also be regarded as meticulous, but unexpectedly, it is still lost.

At about 9 p.m. that night, four investigators and a squad of PLA fighters who had been ordered to assist them went to the "Hengyuan Hall" to arrest Wei Kangsi. The aunt of the neighborhood committee came forward to open the door, and the investigators rushed in, but the whole house was searched all over the house, and there was no shadow of Wei Kangsi, let alone any items related to the secret service activities. At this moment, Zhang Baoxian and Sun Shen, who had been watching outside the "Hengyuan Hall" for several hours, panicked: Isn't this strange? At about five o'clock in the afternoon, when they entered the scene to carry out surveillance tasks, they saw Wei Kangsi riding a British "Blue Antelope" bicycle back from outside and entering the gate of "Hengyuan Hall". At that time, the target's demeanor was normal, and there was no sign of a frightened bird at all. Moreover, they had already observed in advance that the "Hengyuan Hall" only had a gate in front of it, and the target should still be inside!

The investigators inquired about the "Hengyuantang" Lu family, all of whom said that after Mr. Wei returned home from his errands outside at five o'clock in the afternoon, he was no different from usual, checked the kitchen to prepare dinner, and looked at the bonsai that the florist bought from the flower and bird market, and praised it. Then, he went to the owner to take out the invoice for the day's shopping outing and reconcile it. After busy with these, it is already more than six o'clock, and the whole house has dinner. After the meal, Wei Kangsi returned to the independent courtyard where he lived as usual. The two children of the Lu family who were in elementary school quarreled endlessly over the issue of an old Shanghai white man, went to Mr. Wei for a ruling, saw that he was standing on a pile in the patio in front of the door, knew that this could not be disturbed, and quietly left. All night, the whole house was uneventful, no one went to look for Wei Kangsi again, no one paid attention to what Wei Kangsi was doing in his small courtyard, and the scouts appeared with the PLA soldiers with guns and live ammunition, only to find that he had disappeared.

The investigators thought of the possibility that Wei Kangsi would escape from climbing the wall in the backyard, and asked the two PLA fighters who were arranged to monitor outside the rear wall, and they all said that there had been no movement here. Hao Zhenru inspected the backyard wall and found that there were indeed traces of climbing on it, but how could the warrior say that there was no movement? In this way, Wei Kangsi had already escaped before the investigators and his party arrived at the "Hengyuan Hall". The question then arises: How did Wei Kangsi perceive himself to be suspected?

Hao Zhenru first thought that perhaps Zhang Baoxian and Sun Shenyan, who had been ordered to go to surveillance, had inadvertently been glanced at by the target, but after inspecting the surveillance positions of the two men, this possibility was ruled out. So, what's going on? It was not until after the case was solved, when the investigators interrogated a cadre of criminals, that the account of Song Siyi, the leader of the "Six Chambers," revealed that he had broken half of the secret: He received a letter from Wei Kangsi the day after Wei Kangsi escaped, on which he said in code that he had been discovered by the CCP's anti-special forces, and in order to prevent being wiped out by the organization, he decided to break away on his own. By the time this letter arrived, he had already left Shanghai.

Soon after, the special case group was transformed from a temporary group into a permanent investigation team directly led by the Social Department of the East China Bureau, called the "East China Special Case Group", which was specifically responsible for investigating major political cases (after the East China Bureau was reorganized into the East China Military and Political Committee in 1950, the special case group was transferred to the leadership of the Ministry of Public Security of the East China Military and Political Committee, and the cases responsible for investigation were added to the cases with major criminal cases and difficult cases with huge social impact). Although the task was busy, Jiao Yunjun and Hao Zhenru, leaders of the special case team, never forgot the sudden escape of Wei Kangsi, and three investigators were selected to investigate this, and finally found out the reason for it -

On that day, Wei Kangsi went out to run errands, and on the way back to "Hengyuan Hall" in the afternoon, he met Guo Mou, a retained policeman from the Yimiao substation. When Hao Zhenru, Zhang Baoxian, and Sun Shenyan went to the Yimiao substation to learn about Wei Kangsi's situation from the deputy director on duty, Guo mou happened to go to the office to deliver a document, and before entering the door, he overheard Wei Kangsi's name in the room, and guessed that the person who came might be investigating Wei Kangsi. Wei Kangsi is Guo's brother, the two have prostrated their heads to worship the brothers, Guo decided to give Wei Kangsi a wake-up call. Of course, Guo did not know that Wei Kangsi was a latent agent of the "Secret Bureau", and only thought that he was investigating the complicated social relations before his liberation, so he wanted to talk about the righteousness of the jianghu. Wei Kangsi naturally knew what this meant, and fled Shanghai on the same day. After finding out the situation, Guo was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Song Siyi, director of the "Sixth Room", also admitted after being arrested that if Wei Kangsi did not flee Shanghai, he was likely to issue a gag order. Taking a step back, even if he wanted his subordinates to spare Wei Kangsi, I am afraid that he would not be able to do it. According to Shangfeng's order, the mission of spying on the "101 Project" of the Jiangnan Shipyard was a joint operation between the "Secret Service" and the CIA, and any situation related to the mission should be reported to Mr. Jack of the CIA at any time. If he had not informed him of the situation, Mr. Jack would have known sooner or later, and would certainly have consulted him with the "Secret Service"; If he had been informed, Jack would have made a proposal to the "Secret Service" through the CIA to silence Wei Kangsi. Now Wei Kangsi had escaped on his own, but he was all right. As for how Wei Kangsi targeted the CCP's anti-special agents, then he wouldn't bother to think about it; anyway, Wei Kangsi's departure, it is estimated that the CCP side will not be able to find him for a while and a half.

Wei Kangsi disappeared like this, and where he went really hadn't been found. It was not until the mid-1980s, when the special case group had already completed its historical mission and disbanded for more than thirty years, that the relevant departments made it clear that the original case had gone to Hong Kong, completely broke away from its relationship with the Taiwan secret service organization, and changed to business, and it was said that the business was doing well.

9. Arrest of a person involved in the case

The two leaders of the special case team met together and talked to each other about the embarrassment faced by the teams they led. At this time, the phone rang, and Jiao Yunjun seemed to have realized from the rapid ringtone that the visitor was not good, pretended to cough, and signaled Hao Zhenru to answer. Hao Zhenru picked up the phone, but it was the leader who personally called when the special case group was established, and the tone of his speech revealed a wave of irritation. Hao Zhenru pondered that the leader must have seen the written report of the task force, and the criticism was taken for granted, this, he had been mentally prepared, but he was not surprised, so he said in a decent manner: "Please ask the leader for instructions!" ”

"Come to my office with Jiao Yunjun immediately!"

Putting down the phone, Hao Zhenru looked at Jiao Yunjun and said, "Hear you?" ”

Jiao Yunjun smiled bitterly: "Such a loud voice, I am afraid that those who have bad hearing should also hear it." Go and go, the work is not done well is the responsibility of my team leader, the leader is angry, we will listen. ”

Along the way, the two talked about how to "correctly deal with the criticism of the leader", but unexpectedly this is not a question of criticism or criticism at all, and the situation revealed by the leader is nothing more than a thunderbolt in the clear sky, which not only shocks Jiao Yunjun, who usually seems to be nothing, but even Hao Zhenru, who has always been unhurried and unhurried, is also stunned .

The leader told them that the East China Ministry of Social Affairs had just intercepted a secret telegram from Taiwan's "Secrecy Bureau" to an agent lurking in Shanghai, code-named "Lao Liu." The content of the secret telegram is: the data intelligence of the ship platform improvement project has been received, and the headquarters has commended it and issued a golden ten, which will be delivered through special channels in the near future. Attached is the handwriting of Director Mao Renfeng on the approval of the commendation order: I hope that your ministry will continue to make efforts to collect as soon as possible the drawings of the new type of torpedo boat provided by The Soviet Union and other technical information.

That is to say, although the intelligence on the "101 Project" No. 3 ship platform collected by the "Old Sixth" gang of the enemy and the special forces was intercepted before, the enemy special forces, while quickly getting rid of our reconnaissance, actually made another move, successfully obtained the information that had been lost, and successfully delivered it to Taiwan. For the task force, this is a great shame! Jiao Yunjun was stunned there, he had no longer had the usual expression of indifference, his face was red and white, and he was eager to find a crack in the floor to drill into, even if it was good to hide for a moment.

Hao Zhenru fixed his mind and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Report, this is our dereliction of duty, especially my dereliction of duty, and I ask my superiors to give him a severe punishment." ”

The leader walked back and forth in front of Jiao and Hao with his hands behind his back: "Your special case group bears unshirkable responsibility for this, and the main responsibility should be borne by Jiao Yunjun. ”

Jiao Yunjun was silent. He knows that it is useless to justify things now, it is better to say that it is better to do it, and it is better to spend good rice and fall into the sky, and it is not as effective as quickly finding new clues. At this time, another leader that Jiao Yunjun had never seen before stepped out of the inner room, and at a glance, he knew that his position was not lower than that of the previous one. The leader did not have a white face, and his words were consistent with Jiao Yunjun's thoughts: "Well, calling you two to come here is to report this situation." The superiors said that such a case is one of the best in the records of the East China Ministry of Social Affairs' struggle against the enemy, and the weight of this kind should all be clear to all of us. As you know, it is a bad thing and a good thing, which is the driving force for the work of solving the case. If you say that it is better to do it, you should do it yourself, go back and study it carefully, and immediately take effective measures to quickly solve this case. Judging from Taiwan's secret telecommunications, the enemy's special forces have already entered the next focus of spying and are going to engage in technical intelligence on torpedo boats. We must not let them succeed. Beijing has instructed that this is the first direct military assistance provided to us by Big Brother of the Soviet Union, and if something goes wrong, it may affect the direction of Big Brother's assistance to us in the future. Two comrades, this task, please! ”

In Jiao Yunjun's post-incident statement, after listening to the words of the latter leader, he immediately had an impulse to kneel down and apologize. Of course, he didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just nodded silently.

On the afternoon of September 6, seven members of the task force met at the station. Hao Zhenru first conveyed the shocking news, and all the investigators felt their faces dull when they listened. Then, Jiao Yunjun presided over the discussion of the case, focusing on the analysis of a question: Through what means did the enemy easily obtain information on the ship's platform? Jiao Yunjun asked everyone to first list every way that may steal intelligence, and then adopt the exclusion method, and most of the things that cannot be ruled out in the end are the reasons for the loopholes.

After some analysis, everyone believes that the following four kinds of people should have the opportunity to collect information on the shipyard - the first is the shipyard employees involved in the shipyard renovation project; This is followed by the full membership of the Engineering Command, including the leader, general members and guards; Again, the five experts of the Soviet Group of Experts and the people who provided work and life services to the Group; Finally, there are other people other than the above three kinds of people, and this range is not easy to determine.

It should be said that with the political climate at that time, it was still relatively rare in the investigation work to be able to make the above-mentioned analysis in an absolutely objective and scientific attitude; after all, even the leaders of the "101 Project" command and the experts sent by Big Brother were also included in the suspect list.

Next, an in-depth analysis is conducted on the possibility of the above four personnel involved in the case. Since the elements involved in the case were able to easily collect information on the ship's platform, it seems that he had no pressure at all, and it was more convenient to operate. This confirms that there is no relationship with the first two types of people, because after discovering that the ship's dock secrets have been stolen, the "Project 101" command once again strengthens its discipline, and at the same time, in order to prevent themselves from being suspected of being suspected, deliberately does not allow themselves to have the opportunity to act alone, so that in the event of another accident, there can be a witness when they are investigated. Therefore, neither group of people should be able to transmit intelligence.

In the third category, civil servants responsible for security and life services are peripheral personnel who have direct access to technical information. Soviet experts and their Chinese and foreign assistants did have access to technical secrets and the convenience of transmitting intelligence, but if the intelligence from the previous ship was delivered by one of them, why not send the intelligence of the torpedo boat together? It is said that the intelligence of the speedboat is also conditionally collected, so why "do it twice", it takes so much effort, and it is easy to arouse suspicion.

At this point in the analysis, the first three types of personnel are all excluded. Everyone was a bit confused, because the remaining fourth category of personnel was too large, and everyone had no idea where to start. Jiao Yunjun suggested that no matter who the person was, if he could speculate on the means by which he obtained the information on the ship's platform, he might be able to find the person along this line. After he reminded him, everyone seemed to see the direction again. Hao Zhenru looked at Jiao Yunjun and suddenly said, "Old Jiao, do you already have an idea?" ”

Jiao Yunjun smiled and said nothing. Hao Zhenru pulled down his face again: "When is this, Lao Jiao, you are still in the mood to sell Guanzi!" ”

So, Jiao Yunjun said his own speculation - the master of the intelligence collection, presumably climbed to the chimney of the shipyard's foundry workshop that was deactivated for major repairs, observed with the help of a telescope, and drew a sketch on the ground. Many investigators showed a surprised look: "Can this be done?" ”

Jiao Yunjun said of course, I have done this kind of work. Before the Battle of Shanghai, I was ordered to reconnoiter the enemy's artillery positions at Wusongkou and asked to draw sketches accurately marking the location of each artillery, ammunition depot, and barracks. I took my binoculars and drawing tools, sneaked into a factory near the artillery position at night, climbed the water tower and stayed up all night, waiting until dawn to start drawing and drawing for a full day before completing the mission. In contrast, climbing the shipyard's chimney drawing is much less difficult, close to each other, and easy to observe—it's a ship's platform.

With this said, Tan Xian, who was born as a college student, immediately nodded: "This is on-site mapping, it is nothing, and professionally trained people can do it." I went up to the chimney, but it was dark at the time, and the surrounding situation was not clear, and I didn't know if that place was suitable for observing the ship's platform. Old Sand, have you seen it? ”

Sha Maolin said, "Who would have thought of this at that time?" I didn't pay any attention. ”

Jiao Yunjun blinked: "I did look in the direction of the ship platform, but at that time I didn't expect that this chimney had another relationship with the case." Looking back now, at night, the ship's platform was also brightly lit, and the structure of the ship's platform and the figure of the workers' masters were clearly visible. If you have a telescope, it should be fine. ”

Hao Zhenru proposed: "Or go to the shipyard and climb the chimney again." This should not alarm the enemy, and we can say that we can investigate the scene again in order to investigate Wang Qingshui's suicide. ”

Jiao Yunjun said, "Then I have to go with Lao Sha and Xiao Tan, all of whom are from the original squad, familiar with the situation, and it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of the enemy." ”

Continuing to discuss, the special case group decided to investigate two other directions at the same time, one is the sudden disappearance of Wei Kangsi, and the other is the need to notify the "101 Project" command to pay attention to strict precautions, the enemy side will definitely stare at the drawings of the torpedo boat next, if any clues are found, do not alarm the other side, the special case group will follow the vine to find the melon, and pull out the hidden enemy elements.

At this time, it was already 4:30 p.m., but in early September, it was dark in the Jiangnan area, and Jiao Yunjun and the three of them drove a three-wheeled motorcycle to the Jiangnan Shipyard and drove directly to the foundry workshop. The shipyard has not yet received a notice from the engineering command, so the closure of the chimney has not been lifted. Up to the top of the chimney scaffolding, borrowing a telescope to observe condescendingly, the third platform can indeed see clearly. In Jiao Yunjun's words, the conditions were much better than when he climbed to the Wusongkou water tower a few months ago to observe the enemy artillery positions.

The next day, on the morning of September 7, Jiao Yunjun contacted the military control team of Jiangnan Shipyard and transferred personnel from the factory security office to assist in the investigation. The Factory Security Department selected five members to be dispatched by the task force. Jiao Yunjun held a short meeting for them, did not reveal the true purpose, but said that according to the instructions of the superior leaders, Wang Qingshui's case needed to be reviewed, so he alerted all comrades and asked for everyone's vigorous assistance and strive to clarify the facts of the case as soon as possible. Investigator Sha Maolin then explained to the participants what they needed to know: In the period before Wang Qingshui's case, did anyone often walk around the chimney?

After the meeting was adjourned, the men immediately took action. At the meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon, seven clues had been reported to Jiao Yunjun, one of which attracted the attention of the three investigators-

After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, after the Kuomintang took over the "Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. Gangnam Shipbuilding Institute" from the Japanese, it reorganized the workshops and sections of the shipyard, replaced some administrative and technical personnel appointed by the Japanese invaders, and installed a number of official personnel, including a backbone member of the "Three Youth Leagues" named Huang Chunhe. Now, this surname Huang has entered the eyes of the task force.

After the liberation of Shanghai, the people's government took over the Jiangnan Shipyard and changed its name to Jiangnan Shipyard. According to the spirit of the instructions of the superiors, personnel with historical problems should be immediately transferred from important posts, and Huang Chunhe was transferred to the foundry workshop as a sand turner. This man used to be an officer of the Shanghai Municipal Social Bureau of the Kuomintang, and he had not done a day of manual work, but this time he was allowed to do the well-known hard work in the heavy industry, and he had quite a complaint, so he did not come to work the next day, and also released words: Is it not okay for Lao Tzu to quit his job? Where did he know that a master with historical problems like him could be so cheap to him? On the third day after resigning, a registered letter for the military control group of Jiangnan Shipyard was sent to the Huang family, warning: Obediently return to the factory to do sand turning, through labor to reform the old ideas, otherwise arrest!

Huang Chunhe had no choice but to obey the order. Like him, a master who used to give instructions and commands, when he arrived at the front-line post, naturally no one answered him, and then the work was too tired, and it was too late for him to rest in his free time. After two months, he was somewhat accustomed to doing this kind of hard work, and then the wind was getting tighter, and he did not dare to lie down and rest in his spare time, and he sat with everyone and felt bored and embarrassed, so he went to the workshop yard and the door to go around. So, when Security Service personnel went down to the workshop to investigate suspicious situations, many workers mentioned this person.

That night, Huang Chunhe was arrested on his way to work, and immediately escorted the special task force to the station for interrogation, and at the same time assigned investigators to search his residence and found a pair of military telescopes, which according to his family said was Huang's recent home. Over there, Huang Chunhe did not admit to being involved at first, but when the telescope was taken, he surrendered his weapons, admitted that he had been instructed by others, climbed to the top of the chimney where scaffolding had been erected, and used the telescope to observe the situation of platform Three. He had been a shipyard manager for three years before, and was familiar with the platform, sketching the platform and writing the corresponding data in English and Arabic numerals. The next day, he went to the "Hudong Zhuangyuan Building" in Badaitou as instructed to meet with a man. The sketch he took belonged to the toddler graffiti in the eyes of the other party, the man took out a book, drew another picture against Huang's data, and then gave Huang 800,000 yuan (the exchange ratio between the old version of the renminbi and the new version of the renminbi is 10,000:1, the same below), plus the deposit of 200,000 yuan given by the family when he accepted the instructions two days ago, and the total remuneration for this stubble work was one million yuan.

The investigator asked about the man's appearance, which was exactly the same as the man liu had said about who had been stolen by them on the third floor of the Yong'an company. Huang Chunhe did not know this person, but he was referring to the person who made him survey and map the ship's platform, Wei Kangsi, the manager of the "Hengyuan Hall", who told him to go to the "Hudong Zhuangyuan Building" in Badaitou to hand over the sketches. In the past, when he was an officer in the Shanghai Social Bureau of the Kuomintang, he was introduced to Wei and made friends. Huang Chunhe likes to pick flowers and grass to find flowers and ask for willows, but he drags mud and water, often causing trouble, all of which Wei Kangsi helped him to get. This time, when Wei Kangsi approached him and asked for his help, he agreed, even though he knew it was dangerous. At that time, Wei Kangsi gave him a deposit of 200,000 yuan and a US-made military telescope, and saw that he held the telescope with a look of love, saying that after doing this work, this telescope will be yours.

Wei Kangsi did not say what kind of work this was done for, and why he was doing it, and Huang Chunhe did not ask. When he was an officer in the Social Bureau, his daily work was to mix with the three religions and nine streams in society and learn the situation from it, so he understood the rules of this line. Two days later, he finished the sketch and delivered the money, thinking the matter was over. A few days later, he received a call from Wei Kangsi asking him to do the same mapping again.

Huang Chunhe is not a secret agent, has not received training in the line of secret agents, skills do not need to be mentioned, psychological quality is even worse, this kind of work once has been frightened, do it again, is it not to be scared? Rejection at the moment. Wei Kangsi raised the bounty to one and a half million yuan, but he still shook his head. Wei Kangsi was annoyed, but he slapped Song Siyi on the chest in front of him, so he threatened that you had already done it once before, and if you didn't do it this time, people would inform the Communist Party about the time you had done before. Huang Chunhe was helpless and had to agree to do it again. It's just that the manuscript has been destroyed, and his memory is not very good, so he had to slip through the hole and go to the top of the chimney again.

The leak of the ship's secrets was finally clearly investigated, but the two enemy elements involved in the case could not be caught. Wei Kangsi, the steward of "Hengyuan Hall", had long disappeared, and another criminal who met with Huang Chunhe in the "Hudong Zhuangyuan Building" was shot and scattered after two pieces of silver and goods, and Huang Chunhe did not know anything about the other party.

10. Autumn Night Conspiracy

Going back, let's talk about Song Siyi, the director of the "Six Rooms" and code-named "Old Six".

These days, Song Siyi's nerves are a little tight, mainly because of Wei Kangsi's resignation. Although he received the letter from Wei Kangsi before he disappeared, as an old agent, with experience, he had to prepare for some possible situations, for example, would Wei Kangsi have been secretly arrested, and this letter was actually written at the behest of the anti-special agents, in order to stabilize the "six rooms", secretly find out the whole situation and then go to the net? With this in mind, Song Siyi immediately left the shop he ran as a business trip and hid in a nearby friend's house to watch for suspicious signs. After two days, everything was normal, and his tense nerves relaxed and returned to his shop.

That night, he received a secret telegram from Taiwan, the same telegram that had been deciphered by our cryptographers that made the task force feel ashamed. Song Siyi was commended, but his heart was not a little relaxed, because the secret telegram was also urging him to "redouble his efforts" and carry out the next mission as soon as possible. In fact, whether it is Song Siyi or the headquarters of Taiwan's "Secrecy Bureau," both sides know that on the whole, the ship platform diagram obtained by the "six rooms" is of course useful, but if we can get a complete set of drawings of the new torpedo boat, then the ship platform drawing is completely dispensable.

The reason why Song Siyi decided to collect information on the ship's platform first was a gesture that indicated that the "Six Chambers" had begun to act. In addition, because Wei Kangsi had a good relationship with Huang Chunhe, the administrator of the Jiangnan Shipyard before the liberation of Shanghai, Huang had the convenience of collecting information on the ship's platform. In a word, this job is easy to do, not to do it in vain. Therefore, the "old sixth" issued an order.

Originally, after the completion of this task, the CHINESE side could not detect it at all, even if the agent named Gong Akang under his command actually made a low-level mistake and lost the information when he transferred the information. Song Siyi thought back afterwards, and also blamed himself for being a little anxious, because he expected that this matter was already a nail in the coffin, so he reported the news to Taiwan in advance, but he did not expect that something had gone wrong, so he had to risk letting Huang Chunhe work harder.

Song Siyi originally thought that such an operation would take some time, hoping that if he was lucky, his boss would suddenly send a telegram to him to terminate the implementation of the project. This situation occurred from time to time in his previous career as a secret agent, and as for the reasons, of course, as a grass-roots executor, it is not known, and it is not recorded in the archives of the "Secrecy Bureau". However, good luck did not wait, but waited for the hypnotic. Immediately afterward, Jack also sent a secret letter saying that he was aware of the telegram from the Taiwan headquarters and expressed "great concern" about it. In this way, Song Siyi had to go down hard.

But how do you get project drawings? This is not a movie, in order to make the plot look good, you can violate the rules of the secret service work, summon a cadre to hide in a private room in a hotel or a broken temple for a meeting to discuss and pool wisdom. A lurking secret service group like the "Six Rooms" stipulates that there is no horizontal contact between the team members according to the regulations, and the group leader and the team members can not meet without meeting, and if they must meet, the shorter the better. Therefore, when carrying out important missions, the decision-making is only made by the team leader himself, and no one gives him advice.

The leader of the hidden agent is not so good, and when the organization is looking for a leader candidate, it must be seriously considered for its decision-making ability, otherwise, the improper selection of personnel will lead to a catastrophe. Song Siyi was now faced with the problem of how to make decisions. He has always been cautious, and at this moment he is walking on thin ice. Initially, he wanted to meet jack and hear about the CIA's high opinions. However, after sending a secret letter according to the contact address given to him by Yulia, he waited for two days before the other party left a code on the sixth railing of the Baidu Bridge near the Suzhou Creek on the Bund, which was a fork, which was a negative proposal.

In this way, Song Siyi can only rely on himself. He repeatedly considered the situation he was facing, believing that the difficulty of obtaining the whole set of drawings was too great to be possible. Then you have to consider collecting part drawings. Since those experts who interpret and study the secrets of the project can speculate on the tonnage of the torpedo speedboat to be built from the modified ship platform, they can also speculate the overall situation from the local according to the parts drawings, for example, the bolts of the fixed propeller can infer the specifications of the propeller and then estimate the speed of the speed of the speedboat, and the technical data of the torpedo can be inferred from the torpedo tube flange drawing, and so on.

According to Song Siyi's understanding of the manufacturing process of warships, aircraft, armored vehicles and other military products, the torpedo boat that the CHINESE Communists are developing at present, only the hull is manufactured in place on the third platform, and other parts and components will be scattered to the various workshops under the Jiangnan Shipyard for production, and after manufacturing, the ship platform will be installed. Although there is no way to collect the whole set of drawings, you can still think of a way to collect the parts drawings. Therefore, he positioned the operation to collect parts and components intelligence, and how much he could collect was how much he could collect.

Next, it is to find a channel to obtain parts drawings from Jiangnan Shipyard. At this time, Song Siyi somewhat regretted it, and the previous act of collecting intelligence on the ship's platform was obviously not worth the loss - first of all, there was a mistake in passing the information, which attracted the attention of the police; In order not to leave any trouble, he had to deal with Guan Yisheng, who was "a wrestling head", so that the police followed the clues of the motorcycle to discover Wei Kangsi's suspicions; Then the miraculous Wei Kangsi disappeared, breaking the ties between the "six chambers" and all strata of society; In the end, the employee named Huang Chunhe in the Jiangnan Shipyard lost his use value, and could have used him to continue to collect parts intelligence, but because of the previous act of collecting information on the ship's platform, he was exposed...

I knew that it would be such a situation, and I couldn't ask for it when someone sent the ship's information to the door in the first place! However, at present, no amount of regret is useless, so I have to pick up my spirits and try to find a way to gather intelligence. Song Si thought about it again and again, and decided to meet with five subordinates separately, asking them to look for social relations separately, as long as the terminal can pass to the Jiangnan Shipyard, they can be considered. As for whether it is available and how to use it, wait until the five subordinates report the candidates to him for evaluation.

On September 8, just as Song Siyi was preparing to send a secret code to his subordinates, he suddenly received a message from Yulia asking him to meet him in the evening at the "Hongxing Restaurant" on the other side of Jing'an Temple. Song Siyi then dispelled his thoughts and thought about meeting the foreign woman after he had met him. This appointment should not be the cancellation of the action plan - the Taiwan headquarters will not issue such an order through Jack's line. It is estimated that Jack's side found a way to obtain "Project 101" intelligence and needed "six rooms" to implement it. If this is the case, then thank goodness, not only can you save yourself from your own hard work, but once something goes wrong, the Taiwan headquarters will not severely investigate the responsibility of the "six rooms" for dereliction of duty.

Located in Jing'an Temple, the "Hongxing Restaurant" is a two-up, two-down, three-bay restaurant with a façade, and the business is never booming all year round, and such a stable restaurant is rare in Shanghai Beach at that time. When Song Siyi arrived at the restaurant after six o'clock that night, Yulia had already arrived first, chose a pair of box seats in the corner, and was ordering. Seeing Song Siyi enter the store, she put down the recipe, shouted "Darling", got up to meet him, and gave Song Siyi a hug in full view of everyone. In Song Siyi's view, this is obviously very inappropriate, but he only has to respond, otherwise it will be more noticeable.

On this evening, the autumn rain was torrential, and there were not many customers in the restaurant, and half of the seats were empty. Yulia chose the location in the deep corner of the store, and there was no one next to it, just right for the two of them to drink and talk. In the eyes of others, these two are a couple, in fact, the two are talking about espionage. Song Siyi guessed correctly, Yulia's appointment was indeed a shortcut to collect project intelligence!

Yulia was twenty-six years old and was originally a Russian-Jewish. However, she was born in China, and although she looks like a foreign woman, she speaks Chinese more fluently than Russian. Speaking of Yulia's life, we have to mention a famous city in northern China- Dalian.

Today's Dalian City was sparsely populated until the 1880s, until 1885, when the Qing government ordered the construction of harbor trestles, forts and mine battalions on the north bank of present-day Dalian Bay, that it became a small town, which was called "Green MudWad" by the locals. In 1897, the Tsarist Russia forcibly drove a warship into Lushunkou, and then sent people to Dalian Bay and Qingniwa to investigate, and decided to open a port and build a city in Qingniwa. August 11, 1899. Tsar Nicholas II issued an edict on the establishment of a free port, renaming the green mud depression Darini (Russian for "far away"). At the end of the Russo-Japanese War in January 1905, Japan replaced Tsarist Russia in invading and occupying Qingniwa, and in February, the city of Darini was changed to Dalian. This period of colonial rule did not end until August 1945, when Japan announced its unconditional surrender.

In 1903, Yulia's father had just turned eighteen and was sent by the Russian government as a trainee healer to the garrison hospital in Darini. There, he fell in love with the daughter of a garrison lieutenant colonel, and because of the opposition of the woman's family, the two decided to elope. They went first to Tianjin and then to Shanghai to open a Western restaurant on Xiafei Road in the French Concession. The Russian-Jewish couple had three children, with Yulia being their youngest daughter.

Growing up in Shanghai, Yulia is fluent in Shanghainese and is fluent in Russian, English, French and German. After the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941, the Japanese army occupied the concession, and their parents and siblings were imprisoned in foreign refugee concentration camps. Yulia, who was only seventeen at the time, survived by recognizing a Japanese-American couple as a dry father and mother. The Japanese-American couple, whose real identity was spies for the U.S. Naval Intelligence Department, opened a Western medicine clinic at Baxian Bridge in the French Concession of Shanghai, which was also one of the three intelligence transit points in Shanghai. The couple decided to recognize Yulia as their daughter, in effect, in order to train her to become an underground operator. However, the operator planned to miscarry for some reason, and the couple gave Yulia a Japanese citizenship as a cover to do underground transportation work.

After the victory of the War of Resistance, Ganpa ganma returned to the United States, leaving a sum of money for Yulia before leaving, so that Yulia and her brother (her parents and sister died in the concentration camp) were able to reopen the Western restaurant. Upon their return to the United States, the agents and the couple quit the task force that had been assigned to the Strategic Intelligence Agency (the predecessor of the CIA) to make a living doing business. According to the regulations, when they left the intelligence agency, they left all their associates with the Strategic Intelligence Agency, including Yulia.

One day in early November 1948, Yulia, the landlady of the "Gracie's Restaurant" on Xiafei Road, was suddenly stunned by a soft muttered sentence from the other party's mouth when she received an American customer. The phrase is spoken in English and translated as Chinese means: "On that dark night, I was murdered by a beautiful dream." ”

It was the code word the agent couple had left for Yulia before they returned home. They told Yulia that if one day someone (whoever it was) said to you on any occasion, it would be that your peers who were engaged in secret work like us had something to help you with, and you should answer each other in English: "Oh, I hope that such a dream will never come!" ”

This is actually the agent's joint code. Yulia had only done some secret things for them according to the instructions of her father and mother, and was not an informal agent, nor had she received formal secret agent training. But this time, as soon as she picked up the head, it meant that she had officially established a relationship with the secret service agency.

She was confronted by Mr. Jack. He came to Shanghai on the orders of the CIA, and one of his tasks was to develop Yulia into a CIA agent. At that time, the situation of the Great War between the Kuomintang and the Communists was already clear, and there was almost no doubt that the mainland would all fall into the hands of the Chinese Communists. In this way, the CIA had to quickly arrange the lurking agents in the Chinese mainland, Shanghai was the first to be arranged, and Yulia's conditions were very much in line with the needs of the CIA.

At that time, the CIA agents were roughly divided into three categories, one was a full-time agent like Yulia's boss, Mr. Jack, who was a regular employee of the CIA; The other is a permanent employee, equivalent to a contract employee, who receives monthly salaries and activity allowances, and may be dismissed at any time after the expiry of the contract or loss of value; There is also temporary employment, such as being hired due to the needs of a mission, and the employment relationship is terminated when the mission is completed.

Yulia is a second-class agent who receives a fixed salary of one hundred dollars a month and, if there is a task, a separate allowance and activity funding. Jack didn't have any special requirements for her, only cared about how you used to help your father and mother work, and now you can do it, the difference is that before, your father and mother wanted you to do it, and now I want you to do it. On that occasion, Jack stayed at the Broadway Building (now the Shanghai Mansion) by the Waibaidu Bridge, where he stayed for a week, and Yulia spent half a day in the Broadway Building, where Jack taught her the basics of intelligence agents.

In this way, Yulia became a hired agent of the CIA. For more than half a year, Jack did not meet with her or give her any orders, but only sent her a monthly salary. It wasn't until a hot night in late July 1949, when Yulia's restaurant was about to close, that Jack suddenly appeared and invited Yulia to a nearby café for a cold drink. The meeting lasted only twenty minutes, and Jack confessed to her the mission of preparing to join forces with Taiwanese lurking agents in Shanghai to steal the CCP's "Project 101" intelligence.

Although Shanghai had only been liberated for more than two months at that time, Yulia already felt that the new regime was very different from before, and in this environment, it was even more unsafe to do secret work such as passing on intelligence like helping her father and mother during the War of Resistance, but she had no choice but to agree to it.

It may be that the CIA and Taiwan's "Secrecy Bureau" have different working philosophies (and because the CCP deals with these two types of agents differently). For the former, once caught, most are held for several years and then deported; The latter was not so polite, especially in the political environment at that time, the leader of the secret service at the level of Song Siyi was most likely to be shot, and the way the superior explained the mission to the subordinates was also different. The leader of the "Six Chambers" Song Siyi, on the one hand, asked his subordinates to do this and that, and at the same time, he could conceal the content of the mission itself, and he had to explain it, which also meant that he would keep two points for three points, and he was always worried that his subordinates would confess and leak secrets after being arrested. Jack is a different approach to Yulia's subordinate, and he tells Yulia everything he can reveal at once, asking her to think more about how to successfully complete this mission. Therefore, Yulia is completely clear about the content of this mission. There was a big grin in her personality, and after hearing it, she condensed the mission into "the drawing of the torpedo boat is", as for how to get it, it was not her job, she didn't bother to think about it.

The leader of the "Six Rooms", Song Siyi, couldn't get used to Yulia's big grin and thought that she was not a piece of agent material. Jack's idea seems to be different, his use of Yulia is based on the principle of using her strengths and avoiding weaknesses, assigning her to do things, one is to deal with Ah Sitou in the name of "Aunt Mary", to probe the liu puppy from the mouth of the child, and then to inform "Old Six" to retrieve the purse (although unsuccessful, it has nothing to do with Yulia, her work has been completed); The second is to let her poison Guan Yisheng, who is "a wrestling head". From the perspective of the division of labor in the secret service industry, this job is actually no longer the scope of intelligence agents, and should have been assigned to the action agents to do it. But Jack had no mobile agents, only to let Yulia make a cameo. Yulia's big grinning personality once again played a role, and without much effort, successfully solved the "one-hit head"; Then, there is the third mission, that is, what she will explain when she meets Song Siyi this time -

The third mission was based on the CIA's pervasive intelligence tentacles around the globe. Jack received an intelligence from the CIA that he did not know where he had obtained it, saying that among the entourage of the Soviet "Project 101" expert group to aid China was a translator named Ma Nianshu, whose father was a classmate and a child of Yulia's father in his early years. For Jack, isn't that the best opportunity to try to steal Project 101 intelligence? Jack wondered, this Yulia, don't look at her usual big grin, but still a member of the lucky general. At present, the biggest obstacle to stealing the intelligence of the "101 Project" is that it is impossible to break into the internal headquarters of the engineering command, and it is necessary to take the way of fragmentation to obtain fragmented intelligence, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also has a very low success rate. Moreover, because of the wide range of aspects involved, it is particularly easy to be recognized by the CCP's anti-special forces personnel, and if they are not careful, they will lose everything. Now that there is Ma Nianshu's loophole, it is of course the best.

Jack immediately informed Yulia of the situation. To say that this twenty-six-year-old Jewish girl is really not a piece of agent material, after hearing about this, she was so happy that she did not have such a perfect opportunity to fall from the sky, but found the world's friends of her father's generation, and even said "This world is too small."

Jack frowned and briefed Yulia on Ma Nianshu's situation——

Yulia's father's hometown is in Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk Oblast, the same age as Ma Nianshu's father Matusievich, and the two are both neighbors and classmates, and the relationship has always been good. Later, Yulia's father was selected by a local accelerated medical school, graduated two years later, and went to Darini. Matusievich went to railway school, and after graduation went to the "Eastern Qing Railway" as a technician , which was known as the "Middle East Railway" after the Russo-Japanese War, referring to the section of the Trans-Siberian Railway built by Russia at the end of the Qing Dynasty from Chita in Russia to Vladivostok (Vladivostok) via Manchuria, Harbin and Suifenhe in China.

Matusievich settled in Harbin and married a Chinese girl, Guan Roushu. After the October Revolution, the Soviet Union formed an intelligence organization in northeast China, and Matusievich, who was already a railway engineer, was developed into a secret intelligence officer, and a few years later was appointed as the head of the intelligence organization in the Harbin area, and Guan Roushu was also developed into an intelligence officer by her husband.

After the September 18 Incident, Matusievich and Guan Roushu established contacts with the underground Party of the Communist Party of China in the northeast according to the instructions of their superiors, and the underground personnel of the Communist Party of China assisted the Soviet side in gathering intelligence, and the underground organization presided over by Matusievich provided financial and weapons assistance to the Chinese communist side. In 1933, Matusievich and Guan Roushu were arrested for betrayal by traitors, and the joint rescue of the CCP and the Soviet side was ineffective, and a week later, the couple was killed. At that time, ma Nianshu, who was only eight years old, was also hunted down by the special high school of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and was transferred to the outskirts of Harbin by underground Chinese communists, and soon withdrew to the Soviet Union to give the martyrs' dependents treatment.

Before that, Ma Nianshu used the Soviet name his father gave him. After arriving in the Soviet Union, he changed his name to Ma Nianshu – taking his father's surname "Matusievich" Chinese the first transliteration of "Ma" as his surname, while at the same time remembering his mother. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ma Nianshu, a 26-year-old middle school English teacher, returned to Harbin and registered her nationality as China. The Soviet Red Army stationed in Harbin at that time immediately recruited Ma Nianshu as an interpreter, and after the Red Army withdrew, Ma Nianshu stayed in Harbin and resumed his English teaching profession.

This time, when the Soviet Union dispatched the "101 Project" expert group to the Chinese Communists (which had not yet been founded at that time) to deliberate on the list of Chinese attachés provided by the Chinese communists for Soviet experts, one of the specific managers happened to be officers of the Communication Office of the Soviet Red Army stationed in Harbin at that time. As a result, Ma Nianshu became a life interpreter for the Soviet expert group.

Big Brother also implemented the policy of "internal and external differences", and the translators of the expert group on technical aspects were all brought from the Soviet Union, and the translators in life, security, and liaison were equipped by the CCP. Although Ma Nianshu was a translator for everyday life, the young man's meticulousness, steadfastness, taciturnness, and standard Russian were greatly appreciated by the Soviets.

Jack's idea was to try to make friends with Ma Nianshu through this special relationship between Yulia and Ma Nianshu, and then use all means to pull Ma Nianshu into the water, make him work for the "Six Rooms" and steal the technical secrets of the "101 Project". According to the old rules, after Jack explained the matter clearly, he stopped showing up and asked Yulia to contact Song Siyi, the director of the "Six Rooms", in his name.

At the moment, Song Siyi listened to Yulia say this and so, thinking that this job had the CIA's preparation, and it would be convenient to go down. How to do it, of course, must be carefully planned. So he asked Yulia, how do you plan to get in touch with Ma Nianshu? Yulia's answer made him cry a little, "This Mr. Jack didn't say, I just carried out orders, premeditated and planned things like that I never did, and certainly wouldn't do it." Therefore, how this thing should be done depends on you. When you're well planned, I'll report to Mr. Jack, and as long as he says yes, I'll do it. ”

Song Siyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, these CIA people are really worry-free. No way, then plan!

11. Exhaust the net

The seven investigators of the special case group have been very busy these days, and a cadre of people has been staring at the case of "one wrestling head" Guan Yisheng's poisoning, and has investigated more than three hundred people in total, but they have found nothing.

This situation made Hao Zhenru, who had always been steady, unable to hold his breath. On this day, at the branch committee of the special case group, when the three branch members talked about the case, Hao Zhenru couldn't help but get angry: "I don't believe that Guan Yisheng was poisoned by such a big thing, and the criminals could actually do it without showing the mountains and not showing the water!" There will definitely be clues left, it's just that our work is not meticulous enough. ”

After Hao Zhenru finished speaking, another branch committee member, Zhi Fude, agreed, saying that we should think of a way to do it again. At this time, Jiao Yunjun was smoking a cigarette silently, and the other two were saying something, as if they had not heard a word. Hao Zhenru waited for a while, and did not see any reaction from Jiao Yunjun, so he asked, "Old Jiao, what do you think, talk about it." ”

Jiao Yunjun scratched his scalp a few times and said, "I was wondering if I should not hang myself on the tree of 'One Fall head'." ”

"You mean to abandon this clue?"

Jiao Yunjun said: "Guan Yisheng's case, after investigating for such a long time, I have not found any clues, and it is not a pity to give up." As for finding new clues, it is called 'speaking lightly, eating a lamp grass', if the clues are so easy to find, why do our brothers in this class toss it so hard? There were seven people in the whole group, three with fever, two with toothaches, and even your old Hao was eating loquat cream and licorice lotion every day to prevent cough. Therefore, only to give up the clue of 'one head' poisoning, let's change the investigation to prevention. ”

What is "changing investigation into prevention"? Jiao Yunjun explained that judging from the telegram intercepted by our side, the enemy is definitely thinking about how to steal the "101 Project" drawings at the moment, and his urgency may be no less than that of the special case team looking for clues to solve the case. It is not easy to guess what means the enemy will use to achieve the goal, but one thing is certain, the "101 Project" was carried out in Jiangnan Shipyard, so no matter what method is used, in the end, it is inseparable from the terminal of Jiangnan Shipyard. This "inseparable" may refer to people or places. The so-called "reform of investigation into prevention" means that we must firmly guard the terminal without problems, and the fence is tightly tied and not afraid of wild dogs drilling.

Hao Zhenru and Zhi Fude are both experts, and when Jiao Yunjun talks about this point, those two can naturally understand. Immediately afterward, the special case group held a plenary meeting and decided to fully assist the "101 Project" headquarters in the security precautions. In response to the incomprehension of some investigators in this line of thinking, Jiao Yunjun said that our defense is actually to defend as an attack. Since the enemy wants to gather intelligence, it is inevitable to get closer to the "101 Project", either to the entity or to the people related to the "101 Project". The enemy elements are not demons and ghosts that come and go without a trace, they are also living people, they are people, there must be traces when they are active, if our prevention work is done meticulously and meticulously, it is possible to find the clues left by the enemy, that is the clue!

Hao Zhenru praised and said, "This is materialistic dialectics, Comrade Lao Jiao has done it!" ”

Jiao Yunjun threw his hands at him: "As soon as I heard the theory, I had a headache, let's be honest." The road to solving the case, how to go down, my intuition, this way to go is feasible! ”

Hao Zhenru listened stunned and muttered to himself, "Intuition? It seems like an idealistic thing, right? ”

On September 11, Jiao Yunjun and Hao Zhenru went to Jiangnan Shipyard to visit Nie Political Commissar in charge of political work and security work at the "101 Project" command. Commissar Nie said that I was already looking forward to you, and if you don't come again, I will call and please. The superior leaders instructed the command headquarters to maintain close contact with your special case group and count on you to escort the "101 Project"!

It turned out that since the "101 Project" headquarters had two identical secret theft incidents in succession, the superior leaders were furious, and The Nie political commissar was severely criticized and given an administrative punishment. After exchanging views with Commander Ji Xinzhen, he convened a meeting of the party committee of the command headquarters and formulated institutional regulations on future secrecy work. Of course, such provisions are outlined in principle, and detailed rules are still required for their implementation. At this time, Commissar Nie thought of Jiao Yunjun, because Jiao Yunjun and other investigators had rich practical experience and could help in this regard.

Jiao Yunjun said that the chief you really found the right person, and then told The Political Commissar Nie about the interception of the enemy's secret telegram, and at the same time introduced the idea of the special case group to "change the investigation to prevention." Political Commissar Nie accepted Jiao Yunjun's suggestion, and without talking about the formulation of detailed rules for the time being, he exchanged views on the specific plan for preventing the infiltration of enemy agents at present, and set out several measures that must be implemented immediately in addition to strengthening the security level of The Third Ship.

First, the parts and components assigned to the workshops and sections of the whole factory for processing should be tracked and paid attention to by the security personnel of the command headquarters, and special spaces should be set aside to place the machine tool equipment and personnel for processing the "101 Project" parts, and maintain isolation from the outside world. In addition, all employees in the workshop and section involved in the processing and manufacturing of "Project 101" parts must keep a ledger every day - that is, record their work from entering the workshop until they leave, and sign and testify by two certifiers when they leave work.

Second, the Chinese engineers, technicians and other auxiliary personnel in the "101 Project" command headquarters have the opportunity to contact core secrets, and these comrades have been selected to participate in the project, which should be politically reliable, and have also received confidentiality discipline education, and have long implemented a set of institutional anti-leakage measures, generally speaking, there will be no problems. Of course, this is only aimed at "general", and if the enemy adopts extraordinary means, it is necessary to beware. The enemy will not tell us before the action, so we should take precautions against problems before they occur, just when the enemy may attack at any time. In view of this, it is necessary to strengthen the strict implementation of the confidentiality system and increase the number of security personnel. Leading comrades must take the lead in enforcing the iron law, and all comrades who have come into contact with secrets, starting with Commander Ji Xinzhen, must take the initiative to let the security personnel search themselves and check the leather bags they carry when they leave the work place.

Finally, there was the Soviet Group of Experts. Theoretically, the possibility of some of them leaking secrets cannot be ruled out. There were five experts in total, and it didn't sound like many people, but it was a team of more than forty people who came over, including political workers, security personnel, life attachés, and assistants and interpreters of experts. Although the expert group also has a system of confidentiality, it is still that sentence that cannot rule out the infiltration of the enemy into this team. Jiao Yunjun told Commissar Nie about his empathy thinking, at first glance, the expert group is the most difficult to penetrate a solid stone, but in case there is a slight crack in the solid stone, it is the most difficult to guard.

Commissar Nie agreed with Jiao Yunjun's point of view and immediately communicated with Major Andrei, who was in charge of the protection work of the expert group. Major Andrei attaches great importance to the Chinese proposal, and after discussion and decision of the expert group, he will contact the special representatives of the Chinese side three days a week in the future to inform each other and consult on relevant issues.

The most suitable candidate for the Chinese representative is naturally Jiao Yunjun, the head of the special case team. This was expected by Jiao Yunjun, but he did not expect to bump into good luck, and found a clue on the first meeting with Major Andrei!

On September 14, Jiao Yunjun went to the Rechat Hotel (now the Pujiang Hotel) where the Soviet expert group was staying to meet with Andrei as agreed. He knew that his Soviet friends liked high alcohol, looked for Hao Zhenru to grind hard bubbles, and it was hard to get some funds, bought two bottles of good wine as gifts and brought them -- the money of the special case team was managed by Hao Zhenru, and when he was asked to pay for it, this old brother's eyebrows were locked, and he wanted to refuse but could not find a reason, but was said by Jiao Yunjun to be an "iron rooster".

On this day, Hao Zhenru happened to go to the city bureau to attend a business meeting, he made an appointment with Jiao Yunjun in advance, and after the meeting, he drove the motorcycle to the door of the Licha Hotel, and incidentally took Jiao Yunjun back to the special case team station. At the end of the meeting at ten o'clock in the morning, when Hao Zhenru rushed to the door of the hotel, he saw Jiao Yunjun standing alone on the side of the hotel's gate, intently looking at the small advertisements on the wall. Hao Zhenru greeted, and Jiao Yunjun seemed to be able to see it and did not react. Hao Zhenru stepped forward to fix his eyes on the content of these small advertisements, eating, drinking and having fun. What puzzled Hao Zhenru was that this kind of small advertisement could be seen everywhere in Shanghai Beach at that time, which was not surprising, why did it attract Jiao Yunjun?

With Jiao Yunjun's alertness, of course, he already knew that Hao Zhenru was standing behind him, he pointed to one of the many small advertisements on the wall, and whispered without turning his head: "This may be a drama!" ”

It was an advertisement for a Western restaurant that said that the restaurant specialized in Russian cuisine, authentic, inexpensive, 20% off vodka, and cloudy. Hao Zhenru didn't know what this meant, and was just about to ask, but Jiao Yunjun had already turned around and headed straight for the direction of the motorcycle. The two got into the car, and Jiao Yunjun was really calm, and did not explain a word along the way. When they arrived at the special task force station, Jiao Yunjun pulled Hao Zhenru into his office, which was only five or six square meters, and first introduced the communication with Andrei.

The Soviet Union started very early in political defense, as early as the 1920s and 1930s, it had formed a complete system, specially opened political defense schools to train talents in this area, and the CCP also sent people to receive training, such as Chen Geng and Gu Shunzhang, who were among the best. After World War II, the Soviet Union's political security system became more and more perfect. Major Andrei, the security group of the expert group, graduated from the Dzerzhinsky Institute of Political Protection and has rich experience in political security. Therefore, since the expert group came to China, there has never been any sign of leaking secrets.

After Jiao Yunjun and Andre met, they listened to each other talk about it, secretly thinking that big brother did have a set, compared to us, we really sighed to ourselves. After the two finished talking about work, Andre proposed to drink a cup, so he opened a bottle of liquor brought by Jiao Yunjun, did not have any dishes, poured into the cup like drinking tea while drinking and talking about some interesting things in life. There was one thing Andre said lightly, Jiao Yunjun listened, but he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

Yesterday was the fortieth birthday of Nikolai, the power expert of the expert group, and the life secretary, Vyansky, suggested to Andrei that he go out for a meal to celebrate Nikolai's birthday. Andre agreed, summoned two security guards, and accompanied Nikolai and other experts and several life entourage out to a Russian-style dinner. This is not a funny thing, interestingly, ma Nianshu, a Chinese translator who went with her, accidentally met a worldly friend who had never met before.

This is the masterpiece of Song Siyi, the director of the "Six Rooms", who took advantage of Yulia's operation of the "Gracie's Society" on Xiafei Road to try to attract Soviet experts to dinner (Ma Nianshu, who was mostly a life interpreter, was to accompany). In advance, Yulia was asked to strengthen the Russian style of the restaurant and find many old photos with Russian style, including a photo of Yulia's father and Ma Nianshu's father when he was young, and the enlarged one was hung in the store. The "Six Chambers" were responsible for attracting soviet experts to the "Gracie's Society".

 For Song Siyi, this is a piece of cake, and he immediately thought of sending a small advertisement. There was no need to bother Yulia, who sent someone to Xiafei Road to take photos of the façade of the "Gracie Society" and several signature dishes, and of course, the vodka that the Soviets were excited about at first sight. After the small advertisement was printed, he asked his subordinates to hire someone to distribute and post it at the entrance of the Richard Hotel where the Soviet expert group was staying.

It was also a coincidence that the life secretary of the Soviet expert group was preparing to celebrate the birthday of the expert Nikolai, and when he was waiting in the car at the entrance of the hotel that day to pick up the expert to work, he accidentally saw a small advertisement on the wall, so he knew that there was a "Gressy Cuisine Society" specializing in Russian cuisine on Xiafei Road. Ask the chef of the Licha Hotel and say that there are many Western restaurants on Xiafei Road, among which the reputation of "Gressie's Cuisine Society" is good. For the sake of prudence, the life secretary also went to a special trip to eat a meal, and felt that it was indeed very authentic, so it was settled.

As Song Siyi expected, the interpreter Ma Nianshu did indeed accompany the experts to Xiafei Road. This mixed-race boy found that among the photos hanging in the store, several of them had actually been seen in the photo album at home, and he was very surprised, so he invited the female boss Yulia, and the two sides chatted down, which was a surprise. The People of the Soviet Side who attended the banquet together were also happy for Ma Nianshu and congratulated him one after another. Yulia, who likes to be public, did not dare to play too much because of Song Siyi's reminder in advance, so security expert Andrei did not feel that there was anything wrong.

When Jiao Yunjun heard Andre say this, his heart was a little unsteady. When I was waiting for the car at the entrance of the Licha Hotel after my farewell, I was bored, so I casually chatted with the person who delivered him the small advertisement, and also looked at the advertisement posted on the wall. When I saw the advertisement for "Gracie's Vegetable Society", I immediately remembered what Andre said and wondered if this was too coincidental?

Hao Zhenru heard Jiao Yunjun say this and felt that it was necessary to investigate this. However, at the next group meeting, Jiao Yunjun proposed that if the investigation of Yulia and the "Gracie Vegetable Society" was carried out according to the usual practice, it would take too long, in case this was a blindfold method implemented by the enemy, and he wanted to divert the attention of the investigation and seize the opportunity to steal the secrets of the "101 Project", and then he would regret it. Therefore, at present, we must put aside the routine investigation and do one thing alone - retrieve a photo of the foreigner Yulia from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and let the nine-year-old boy Qin Yongjin in Hongzhen Old Street identify it to see if this Yulia is the "Aunt Mary" who invited him to drink morning tea.

The investigators of the special case team unanimously agreed with Jiao Yunjun's proposal, so let's hurry up and act. As a result of the identification, Ah Sitou recognized Yulia at a glance.

Further down, the task force had differences of opinion, some advocating the immediate arrest of Yulia and the pursuit of the enemy special organization, and some advocating the first secret surveillance. Hao Zhenru did not express an opinion and asked Jiao Yunjun what his point of view was. Jiao Yunjun said: "The enemy's intention is to obtain the drawings of the '101 Project', why not take the calculation into account, do the work of Tongma Nianshu, and let him contact Yulia." We can take the opportunity to find out who Yulia is in contact with, follow the vine to touch the melon, and sweep the net. ”

Hao Zhenru said: "This method is good, but although Ma Nianshu is a Chinese national, she is an interpreter hired by the Soviet side, and this matter must be coordinated with the Soviet side." I immediately reported to my superiors and won the support of the leadership. ”

Therefore, when it came to Sino-Soviet relations, the leaders of the Social Department of the East China Bureau were very cautious, so they asked for instructions one after another. Three days later, news came from Beijing: it was feasible.

The task force has been tossed by the previous twists and turns again and again and dare not be too optimistic, fortunately, the detours in the early stage are not in vain, with the previous lessons learned, the task force took one step and thought about three steps, and the next action was relatively smooth.

On behalf of the Soviet expert group, Andre expressed his willingness to "strongly support and assist", and Ma Nianshu's work was also done as soon as it was done, and agreed to cooperate with the task force to communicate with Yulia. In just half a month, Yulia "smoothly" bribed Ma Nianshu, and Ma Nianshu handed over the "top secret drawings" carefully prepared by the task force to Yulia. Immediately afterward, the special case team seconded forty investigators to the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, equipped with several means of transportation, and also manipulated the phone of the "Gressy Vegetable Society" through the Municipal Telephone Bureau, secretly monitoring Yulia's every move, and finally found out the situation of the "Six Rooms".

On September 30, 1949, on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, according to the instructions of the Social Department of the East China Bureau, the special case team, with the cooperation of hundreds of military policemen, carried out a unified operation to capture six agents such as Song Siyi of the "Six Chambers" (Wei Kangsi was at large) and yulia, a female agent of the CIA.

Seven days later, according to the orders of their superiors, Song Siyi, Yulia and other seven criminals were escorted to Beijing, and it is not known how they were later dealt with. According to the informal information obtained by the special case team, Song Siyi and three others have been sentenced to death for current and historical crimes; Yulia committed suicide in custody; The rest were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.

On October 20, 1949, the leaders of the Social Department of the East China Bureau set up a banquet to celebrate the merits of the seven investigators of the special case team, and at the same time announced the decision of the superiors: the special case team continued to exist as a permanent group of the Social Department of the East China Bureau, renamed the "East China Special Case Group", which was specifically responsible for investigating major and important cases in East China.

From this time until the end of 1953, the East China Special Case Team appeared frequently on the social stage of various provinces and cities in East China, and solved a number of political and criminal cases with great influence.
