Chapter 296 Smell the wind
Early the next morning, several major newspapers in the concession published the news of Japan's looting of antiques in the occupied area, and the news was put on the front page.

After this news was announced, it caused a great reaction. Although most of North China was occupied by the Japanese and newspaper control was implemented, the news spread quickly.

As soon as this conspiracy was exposed, several leaders of the Tianjin underground party immediately got together to discuss how to deal with the matter.

Zhao Wentian, the first person in charge of the TJ Municipal Party Committee, first stated: "As for the looting of our antiques by the Japanese, my opinion is that we must do our best to stop it."

As soon as Zhao Wentian finished speaking, the other two members of the Standing Committee expressed their opinions one after another, and they all agreed with this opinion, so the party organization immediately decided to stop this matter with all its strength and recover the antiques.

But facing this situation, they didn't know how to deal with it. After all, the little devil had collected a lot of things, and it was really difficult to get them back.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Chengde said: "Comrade Wen Tian, ​​now that the news has been made public, our compatriots must find a way to keep their own things, especially those who can own these things are all big families. You must have your own way, so you won’t lose many antiques.”

Zhao Wentian said with a sigh: "Before this matter was made public by the newspapers, I had already received some news, but the Japanese did it very covertly, so I didn't understand it very well. Antiques, what is certain now is that this matter has been going on for a long time, so the loss of antiques in our country will definitely not be less."

Hearing this news, Zhao Chengde became serious. After all, it doesn't matter if the loss is less, but if you lose a large number of antiques, you will be sorry for the people of the country.

Zhang Qingshan, another person in charge of the municipal party committee, said: "Comrade Wen Tian, ​​the most urgent task now is to find out where the Japanese hid the looted antiques. Only by knowing the whereabouts of these things can we find a way to get them back."

Zhao Wentian immediately said: "I have already contacted my superiors and asked the underground organization in North China to investigate this matter with all my strength. The superiors also agreed with my opinion, but there is no news yet."

As soon as Zhao Wentian finished speaking, Zhao Chengde said again: "Comrade Wentian, the Japanese looted the antiques, and they definitely wanted to ship them back to Japan, or sell them to foreign countries, so I thought they would definitely ship them to Tianjin." , so whether it is transported back to Japan or traded, it will be very convenient.”

"You are right, but Tianjin is so big, it is not easy to find the whereabouts of these things."

These people are very smart to be the person in charge of the TJ Municipal Committee, so as soon as Zhao Chengde's words fell, Zhao Wentian affirmed this opinion.

After a few minutes, Zhao Chengde said softly: "Comrade Wen Tian, ​​how did you say that this matter was exposed? After all, the Japanese did this matter relatively covertly, and ordinary people could not get this news. Judging from the content, they have a very good understanding of the situation in Shanxi and the surrounding areas of Beiping, and the content is also very detailed, and these two places are hundreds of miles apart, so who can get information about these two places at the same time."

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Chengde went on to say: "Before the matter was made public by the newspapers, even we only knew a little bit of news, and it was all news from around Tianjin, but people knew so much, and they could investigate this matter so clearly, I am afraid that only there people."

"Yes, apart from us, the only ones who can pay attention to this matter are the people there. It seems that the National Congress Party's intelligence work in Tianjin is doing quite well, but what does this have to do with us?"

Zhao Chengde said solemnly: "There are mainly two intelligence agencies over there, but the people in the Central Command don't have this ability at all, so they can only survive under the attack of the Japanese. Yes, but now they re-established the North China District, and the head of the district is still a powerful person. Since he arrived in Tianjin, he has not only helped the Liu family, but also sent a large number of agents to assassinate the traitors. Killed, so they must have exposed this matter."

Zhao Wentian nodded, and said in agreement: "You're right, when the Juntong assassinated Duan Zhikun in Beiping, they may have found out about it, so after returning to Tianjin, they exposed it.

"Their purpose of exposing this matter is to stop the Japanese conspiracy, and the military command is very powerful, so I guess they may know the whereabouts of these antiques."

"You mean to ask Liu Qing to inquire about the whereabouts of these antiques within them."

Zhao Wentian is also a smart person, he immediately guessed Zhao Chengde's plan.

"That's right, since the Military Control Bureau has clues, it is most convenient for Liu Qing to investigate this matter, and this matter is aimed at the Japanese, even if we know, the Military Control Bureau will not suspect her internal affairs, she has never risk of exposure."

Zhao Wentian thought for a while, and felt that the matter was not dangerous, so he said, "Okay, you can contact Comrade Liu Qing and ask her to investigate the news from the military command, but don't expose yourself."

"Don't worry, I will let her put her own safety first."

At this time, Zhang Qingshan said: "Comrade Wen Tian, ​​we can't put all our hopes on Liu Qing, and the Military Control Bureau made this matter public because we want our compatriots to be prepared to protect our precious ones. From this point of view From the looks of it, they probably didn't take this matter to heart, so they may not investigate the whereabouts of these things."

As soon as Zhang Qingshan finished speaking, the other two people thought for a while and agreed, so Zhao Wentian said: "Then we will make two-handed preparations. While Comrade Liu Qing investigates this matter, the rest of the comrades will also investigate secretly."

While several leaders of the underground party were discussing how to find the whereabouts of the antiques, in the Japanese Gendarmerie in downtown TJ, Misuke Tanaka, the captain of the Gendarmerie, was angry at several of his subordinates: "Baga, the assassination case has not been solved yet, and now it's time for another When something like this happened, who did it?"

Immediately, an officer said: "Captain Tian Zhong, those who can do such a thing must be from China, and the Tianjin Station of the Military Command has just been wiped out by us, so the subordinates think that what happened during this period of time is caused by the Eighth Route Underground. The party did it."

Misuke Tanaka nodded, and said viciously: "These damned underground parties are really difficult to deal with. We must find them and catch them all."

The subordinate spoke again: "The underground party is very cunning and hides very deeply. We have tried our best, but there is still no news of them. From the subordinate's point of view, there is only one way to find them in a short time. It is to use these antiques as bait."

Misuke Tanaka frowned, and said hesitantly, "Isn't it too dangerous to use these antiques as bait? If these things are damaged a little, the loss will be huge."

The subordinate said seriously: "Captain, we don't know anything about these underground parties. Only in this way can we find these underground parties as soon as possible and give an explanation to the superiors. Moreover, these underground parties will care more about these antiques than we do, so Even if there is an accident, they will not damage these things."

Misuke Tanaka frowned, carefully considered the pros and cons of this matter, and then said: "I need to discuss this matter with the garrison to see what the commander of the garrison means."

At this time, the phone on the table rang. After Misuke Tanaka answered the phone, he heard a majestic voice from inside: "Come to me right away."

"Hey, my subordinates will go over immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Misuke Tanaka said to his subordinates: "You guys continue to investigate this matter. I'm going to Haiguang Temple now, and I'll talk about the rest when I come back."

After speaking, he left the office, called a dozen military policemen, and drove to Haiguang Temple.

Ten minutes later, Misuke Tanaka appeared in Haiguang Temple, and then went directly to the meeting room.

In the conference room at this time, there were five people sitting, all of whom were high-ranking officers of the Tianjin Garrison. The one sitting in the main seat was a lieutenant general named Kazuo Omiya, who was the commander of the Tianjin Garrison and the chief of staff of the North China Front Army. , is a person who can be ranked first.

After entering the meeting room, Misuke Tanaka said seriously, "Sir, I'm here."

Omiya Kazuo said coldly: "Tanaka-kun, I am very disappointed by your performance. A few days ago, there were frequent assassinations around Tianjin, and now the antiques have been exposed again, so we are trying to collect Chinese treasures. antiques, but it is very difficult, what do you have to say about it.”

Misuke Tanaka was very depressed, because he was both the captain of the gendarmerie and the head of the intelligence agency. This is also a characteristic of North China. The captain of the gendarmerie is always a person from a special high school, so he can't shirk responsibility for this kind of thing.

After a while, Misuke Tanaka said in a low voice: "Sir, I know that my performance has disappointed you, but please rest assured that such a thing will never happen again."

Omiya Kazuo immediately said: "Now that things are like this, it's useless to say anything, but what happened, didn't you tell me before that you just cracked the secret service agency in China and wiped out all the personnel what?"

Misuke Tanaka explained: "Sir, there are many parties in China, and each party has its own intelligence agency. Before that, we focused on the people in Chongqing. For the people in other agencies, The force of the blow was less, which allowed them to take advantage of the loophole."

Kazuo Omiya nodded, and then said: "Tianjin is our territory, and it is the rear of the war. It is still very prosperous here. The empire has gained a lot of benefits here, so no matter what, we must maintain stability here. You You must give me an answer, when will these anti-Japanese elements be resolved."
