Li Kenong was the head of the CCP's intelligence front, and Mao Zedong called him a big agent of the Communist Party. He, along with Qian Zhuangfei and Hu Beifeng, was once called the "Three Masters" on the intelligence front by Zhou Enlai. He was wise and courageous, and fought with enemy agents many times, and through the battle of wits and courage, the enemy was often defeated under his hands.
After Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 coup d'état in Shanghai, the CPC Central Committee established the Special Operations Section in Shanghai and appointed Chen Geng as section chief. In early 1929, Zhou Enlai had Li Kenong infiltrated the Kuomintang Party Affairs Investigation Section, while the underground party Qian Zhuangfei and Hu Beifeng also infiltrated the enemy's intelligence department.
One day at the end of 1929, Chen Geng found Li Kenong and gave him a task: to escort Liu Bocheng to Nanjing. At that time, Liu Bocheng was the chief of the general staff of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, hidden in Shanghai. Since the Kuomintang intelligence organs had discovered his tracks, Chiang Kai-shek ordered that Liu Bocheng must be found in Shanghai and that he would never be allowed to escape from Shanghai. After receiving this news, the CPC Central Committee decided to immediately transfer Liu Bocheng to Nanjing.
After Receiving this task, Li Kenong finally came up with a feasible plan after repeated thinking. On the afternoon of December 24, Li Kenong's car suddenly broke down on a road in the shantytown of Zhabei, Shanghai, and he got out of the car and lay on the cover of the car to repair it. At this time, three cars came here from the direction of Zhabei Railway Station, and on the first car sat Xing Zichun, the detective captain of the Shanghai Municipal Police Bureau. Xing Zichun saw that there was a car in front of him blocking the road, so he angrily rushed out of the car to beat the driver who repaired the car, but unexpectedly, as soon as the driver turned back, Xing Zichun was surprised, busy "snapping" a standing, and then smiled and walked forward: "Ouch! It turned out to be a teacher, Director Li, fortunately! Li Kenong also pretended to be very surprised: "Zichun, it's you." In fact, Li Kenong's car was not broken at all, and his car was parked here waiting for Xing Zichun. Xing Zichun once attended the radio training class that Xu En had run, and the teacher who taught him at that time was Li Kenong. In addition to the teacher-student relationship, Xing Zichun also knew that Li Kenong was the head of the special agent unit of the Central Bureau of Statistics in Shanghai, and Xu En's former big red man. At this time, he squeezed Li Kenong's hand and said, "I almost misunderstood just now, I didn't know that it was the teacher's car driver, and I was offended!" ”
"Nothing, nothing." After Li Kenong finished speaking, he asked casually, "You are..."
Xing Zichun's face immediately showed a proud look, saying: "Inside the car was the madman who assassinated Chairman Jiang; half a month ago, when Chairman Jiang inspected Jiangfang in Shanghai, he almost ate a black gun, and the murderer was not caught on the spot." You see, it was the student who caught him in Suzhou today. ”

Li Kenong already knew all this, but still congratulated: "You have done a great job for the party and the country!" However, Li Kenong's tone turned: "I have here an urgent telegram from Boss Xu, and Chairman Jiang has a secret order: Hu criminals are captured and Nanjing is immediately released." I see, I happened to be on a business trip to Nanjing, so I might as well hand over the prisoners to me and take them with me! ”
"This..." Xing Zichun wanted to refuse. Li Kenong went on to say: "Don't misunderstand, you naturally go with me, of course the credit is yours, I think, you worked hard in the police station, with your boss Ding pressing, it is difficult to have a day out, this time to see Boss Xu, it is better to come to the investigation section." Of course, you insisted on giving the credit to Ding Someone, and I didn't object, and then I went to the police station to ask for someone. ”
Xing Zichun was finally moved by Li Kenong's words. He felt that Li Kenong was right. It is better to be admitted to the Central Unification Now, and may be able to soar in the future. Thinking of this, he decided to go directly to Nanjing with Li Kenong. Then, Li Kenong told Xing Zichun: "Your crazy man is just a dead man, and the person in my car is the real insider, and when I went to Nanjing this time, I led him to see Boss Xu." Xing Zichun involuntarily looked into the car, only to see a mighty person sitting in the car, wearing a pair of sunglasses, with experience, this is a non-idle person. But he was embarrassed to ask.
Next, Li Kenong and Liu Bocheng both got into Xing Zichun's car and sent two others to tow the car back to the depot for repair. Then all three cars turned around and headed for the station. Because Xing Zichun and Li Kenong were on the train, the road was exempted from interrogation, so Liu Bocheng safely boarded the train to Nanjing and broke away from the tiger's mouth.
After Li Kenong and Xing Zichun escorted the prisoners to Nanjing, they handed them over to the Central Bureau of Statistics. Xing Zichun did not see either Chiang Kai-shek or Xu Enzeng, and he only received a large bounty. Li Kenong's explanation to him was that this matter involved Chairman Jiang's personal privacy and could not be let the society know, so as not to disturb Madame Jiang, so your brother can only endure and grievance. Xing Zichun was half suspicious and had to admit that he was unlucky, but he thought about it carefully, and felt that Li Kenong stopped the car halfway, still had the secret order of the Central Bureau headquarters to escort Hu Madman, plus the "important person" on the car, these things were very strange, which caused him to doubt Li Kenong's identity, and he decided to conduct a secret investigation of Li Kenong.
Xing Zichun crossed the ranks to dismiss the prisoners, which annoyed Ding Sheng, the head of the Shanghai Municipal Police, who reprimanded him fiercely. He was angry and determined to find an opportunity to take revenge on Li Kenong. Soon, he detected a situation: he discovered the whereabouts of Chen Geng, chief of the ccp's special branch intelligence section.
After Xing Zichun discovered Chen Gung's whereabouts, he went to the Shanghai Secret Service Unit of the Investigation Section to report to Li Kenong and asked Li Kenong to assist in handling it. Li Kenong was shocked and wanted to intervene in this matter immediately, but he thought about it for a moment, Xing Zichun did not look for others, came here to ask for help, there must be deception in this. When he thought of this, he rejected him on the grounds that he was only an intelligence station here, and he did not care about arresting people.
Xing Zichun's plot did not succeed, so he had to go away and personally arrange a tracking. After Xing Zichun left, Li Kenong called Ding Sheng and informed him of the news. Ding Sheng immediately instructed Xing Zichun: Put a long line, catch big fish, and find the underground CPC Central Committee organ by tracking Down Chen Geng. Unexpectedly, when he looked for Chen Geng again, there was no more clue. It turned out that his subordinates had lied about military information and mistakenly regarded one person as Chen Geng . As a result, it attracted Ding Sheng's scolding.
After Xing Zichun was scolded, he resented Li Kenong even more, and that night, he intercepted Li Kenong on his way home, pointed a pistol at Li Kenong, and said: "Teacher Li, I'm sorry, I want to talk to you." Xing Zichun thought at that time: If you can get out Li Kenong's confession, then stop, otherwise you will kill him. When Li Kenong saw that Xing Zichun wanted to threaten himself, he did not panic, but said very calmly: "Zichun, what are you doing?" It is illegal to kidnap government agents. Xing Zichun said darkly, "Teacher Li, I don't mean anything else, I just want to talk to you." ”
Li Kenong said, "Good! Let's go to a dilapidated warehouse on the side of the road. When the two arrived at the old warehouse, Xing Zichun still held a pistol and said to Li Kenong: "Teacher Li, Director Li, there are only two of us here, do you dare to tell your true identity!" ”
"Didn't you tell me my true identity?" Li Kenong still said quietly.
"Well, I'll leave that aside. I ask you, why do you want to harm me over and over again? Xing Zichun asked.
"Zi Chun, where did this come from?"
"A few days ago, you tricked me into crossing the level to dismiss Hu Crazy to Nanjing, you didn't recommend me to the Investigation Section at all, and recently you beat me up with a small report to Ding Sheng, and as a result, I was scolded!" What do you, what do you really want? If you don't make it clear today, don't blame me for not being polite. ”
"What do you want me to say?" Li Kenong also launched a fire: "The matter of Nanjing is a pure misunderstanding. Who knew that the matter of Hu Madman would involve Chairman Jiang's private affairs, and naturally the relevant personnel could not reuse it! As for the day before yesterday, there was nothing wrong with me following the rules. The fault is that your intelligence is inaccurate, why do you blame me? ”
When Li Kenong said this, Xing Zichun was gagged for a moment. Li Kenong ordered him to put away his pistol, which he had to do. Then, Li Kenong said to him in a relaxed tone: "Zichun, I will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions." Come to my office tomorrow afternoon. ”
"What?" Xing Zichun's eyes lit up.
"When the time comes, you'll know." After saying that, Li Kenong left without looking back.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Kenong found Chen Geng and talked about it. Teco immediately held an emergency meeting, and finally decided: get rid of Xing Zichun, and leave this matter to Li Kenong.
In the afternoon, Li Kenong came to his office to work. I didn't expect Xing Zichun to wait there early. As soon as Xing Zichun saw Li Kenong, he hurried up to greet him and said, "Teacher, yesterday I was confused for a while, and I hope that the teacher will forgive me." Li Kenong said casually: "Forget it, don't mention it, don't be reckless in doing things in the future." I don't care because I'm your teacher. ”
After sitting down, Li Kenong asked: "Have you found any traces of the communist underground organization recently?" ”
"Hey, don't mention it, these people are really cunning, coming and going without a trace, they are about to drag me down!" Xing Zichun was discouraged.
"Last time you didn't say that there was a clue about Chen Geng!" The result? ”
"I didn't even see a shadow!"
Li Kenong pretended to be mysterious and said, "If you really want to catch Chen Geng, I can provide you with clues." ”
"Where?" Xing Zichun asked eagerly.
"In fact, we have already grasped the whereabouts of Chen Geng, if it were not for Xu Enzeng's boss, I would have arrested him a long time ago." Since I couldn't stand you last time, I'll send you someone. According to the information obtained by the Investigation Section, Chen Geng was at No. 58 Xiafei Road, which was the organ of the CCP's Special Branch Intelligence Section. Not only Chen Geng was there, but also Kang Sheng, Pan Hannian and others. This intelligence is absolutely reliable. ”
Xing Zichun was very happy to hear this news, but he still had to verify whether what Li Kenong said was true or false. After he walked out of Li Kenong's office, he hurriedly led several agents to quietly run to No. 58 Xiafei Road, No. 58 was in the French Concession, he did not dare to go inside, he had to look around No. 58, and sure enough, he found Chen Geng again. This time it was absolutely true, he had seen Chen Geng with his own eyes.
At this time, Xing Zichun felt that he had wrongly suspected Li Kenong, and he should not have treated him so rudely earlier. This time, he was still ready to hide from Ding Sheng and preemptively catch Chen Geng himself. Unexpectedly, this matter was discovered by Ding Sheng, who strictly ordered: no disturbance, only stalking.
Xing Zichun had to obey the order, and he led a large number of agents to monitor day and night near No. 58 Xiafei Road. They saw that there were quite a few people coming in and out of here, each with a suspicious shape, and more and more, Xing Zichun had to dispatch a full reconnaissance team to barely be enough, but the stalkers came back one by one with their heads down. Those people, either slippery as loach, disappeared in the blink of an eye, or stared at the end and returned to the same place, without seeing anyone.
This situation lasted for nearly a month, and the report that Xing Zichun sent back to the police station was always those few words: there was no new discovery. Ding Sheng was impatient, first scolding Xing Zichun for being incompetent, and then suspecting that he had a problem, because Xing Zichun had also been a figure in the Shanghai general strike in his early years, and was later arrested and defected.
Soon, Ding Sheng issued an arrest warrant. When Xing Zichun led the centaurs to rush into No. 58, the people inside had already run out! Ding Sheng, suspicious and resentful, ordered Xing Zichun to be detained and thoroughly investigate his history.
At this time, Li Kenong sent someone to send information from the CC Department: Xing Zichun, a native of Qingpu, Shanghai, had worked as a picketer in the Shanghai power plant and during the general strike, and was arrested for killing the military police in an armed struggle, confessing to the underground CPC members Ge ×× and Liu ××, so he was convicted of meritorious service, and later promoted to the head of the investigation team for his meritorious work in hunting and killing the Communist Party. In addition, two documents were attached: First, Xing Zichun's family was poor, the seven brothers were unemployed, and after he became the head of the investigation team, he connived at his brothers, hooligans to cause trouble, endangered the neighbors, and counted several bloody cases such as ××, ×××, and so on. Second, according to recent investigations, Xing Zichun has recently made a generous move, going in and out of the casino, throwing thousands of dollars, and the source of money is unknown. According to another investigation, he bought thousands of acres of land in the countryside of Qingpu, and had ten long guns and five short guns.
Ding Sheng was furious after reading these materials: No wonder Chen Geng and others repeatedly failed to catch them, it turned out that someone had ventilated the information in advance. Especially this time, only the two of us know about the arrest warrant, and no third person knows... Based on the situation in all aspects, Ding Sheng judged that even if it could not be confirmed that Xing Zichun was secretly in line with the Communist Party, it would be enough to prove that he had misbehaved, disloyalty, and unbelief, and moreover, he had crossed the line and robbed him of his ranks and acted privately, posing a threat to himself. Ding Sheng thought that this person should not be left behind and should be shot immediately. At this point, Li Kenong used the enemy's hand to eliminate the aftermath, but Xing Zichun did not understand how he died until he died.
