Chapter 522 Release

Li Qun put his situation into perspective with this move.

Actually, some Japanese people think that Li Qun is the best candidate, who can help them do the dirty work and is capable themselves.

I don’t think it must be removed.

When conflicts arose among the Japanese, Masato Kuji knew very well that there would be trouble in handling this matter.

But the focus now is not on Li Qun, but on whether the arrested person should be released or not?

The pressure from all walks of life is already great enough.

Of course the Japanese don't want to let go. Although they are also facing a certain amount of pressure, they can still hold on.

However, the puppet government kept contacting them and asked whether they should release him.

After all, the pressure on the pseudo-government is too great now.

Masato Jiuji doesn't care about this matter now, he comes out to meet Wan Liang.

Wan Liang asked him to meet again today.

Because Li Qun has not returned to the secret service headquarters for many days and is in charge of interrogation work in the prison.

Wan Liang also learned some news that the Japanese's internal attitude towards Li Qun had changed, which made Wan Liang very worried.

After all, you said that he had been following Li Qun well before.

Being your own director honestly, the situation is actually not bad.

He even won Li Qun's trust, and he was considered very powerful within the secret service headquarters, and he could also make money.

What do you think is bad about this day?

It’s just that everyone has ambition.

It was the emergence of the Mei Agency that made Wan Liang's ambitions grow bigger and bigger, to the point where he already wanted to compete.

To be able to take this step, to put it bluntly, is the confidence given by the Japanese.

It was Mei Guan's attitude that made Wan Liang dare to try.

It was Masato Kuji who made him make up his mind.

So in this situation, of course he can only find Masato Kuji, because if the Japanese say they won't deal with Li Qun, the relationship between Li Qun and the Japanese can be restored to what it was before.

But can Wan Liang do it?

How can his relationship with Li Qun return to its previous state?

He has no way out.

When Li Qun can let him go, that's not just a dream.

So as soon as they met today, Wan Liang said with a sad face: "Major, what is the attitude on this matter? My subordinates have no way out now."

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"It's not that my subordinates are anxious, but the current situation makes it difficult to reassure people."

“You put your heart in your belly.”

"Isn't there a rumor above that they won't target Director Li again?"

"Do you think the scene he created this time is good or bad?"

Faced with Masato Kuji's rhetorical question, Wan Liang said: "The effect looks very good."

"But he has the ability to disrupt Shanghai." Masato Kuji said one word at a time.

After hearing this, Wan Liang thought for a moment and said, "Are you dissatisfied with the higher-ups?"

In fact, the dissatisfied people above were dissatisfied before, and this action will not aggravate their dissatisfaction.

Instead, Li Qun helped him attract some supporters. This was Li Qun's purpose, and it was very successful.

However, in front of Wan Liang, Masato Jiuji did not say such a thing. After all, Masato Jiuji still wanted to deal with Li Qun.

Then Wanliang is still needed.

The previous plan cannot be changed.

Furthermore, even if the superiors were unwilling, Masato Jiuji believed that he would have to suggest to Mei Agency that Li Qun must be captured in the future.

Because he saw clearly, and even more clearly from Li Qun's case, that the power in his hands was indeed too great.

Especially the work performed by the special agent headquarters is a top priority.

If you don't solve it now, it will only become more difficult to solve it in the future.

It's just that it takes some perseverance for a strong man to cut off his wrist. You can't always be greedy for the immediate benefits.

Therefore, Masato Kuji now needs to stabilize Wan Liang, but judging from Wan Liang's performance this time, he feels very uneasy and thinks that it was right not to be optimistic about the opponent at that time.

How do you view such a person well?

When you encounter a setback like this, you don't just think about how to solve it yourself, but you just feel worried.

Of course Wan Liang doesn't just know how to worry, he will definitely find ways to solve and deal with it. Now he just wants to know the attitude of the Japanese.

After all, if the Japanese's attitude really changes, he will not be able to continue stupidly, but will have to find a way out for himself.

But since Masato Kuji said that the attitude here at Mei Agency is still the same as before, Wan Liang feels that he does not need to rush to find a way out. After all, it is not certain who will win in the end.

Therefore, Wan Liang said: "With these words from Major, my subordinates will feel relieved."

"Go back and work hard and think about how you can make contributions yourself instead of always being pushed over by others."

"Yes, but I still want to know when the people in prison will be released."

"Recently." Masato Kuji said.

Although no one is saying this now, Masato Kuji believes that based on the pressure, he will be released in the near future.

Wan Liang felt relieved when he heard that he would be released. At least Li Qun would not continue to make meritorious deeds, otherwise he would be really passive.

Watching Wan Liang leave, Masato Jiuji felt that it would be more difficult to deal with Li Qun in the future.

He also got up and went back to the Mei Agency to discuss with the people above, and he must not change their strategy.

After all, they decided on this strategy before considering many problems. If they give up at this time, they will only cause themselves more trouble in the future.

Even Masato Jiuji is considering whether to help Wan Liang to see if the situation can be brought under control.

We don’t need to be evenly matched, but at least they need to be close to each other, otherwise the situation may be more difficult to handle.

As for the prison, there are indeed problems with the interrogation process.

Because Li Qun had arrested many people in the past few days, these newly arrested people said in the cells that they would be released.

This kind of thing was very strange when he heard it, so he was heavily suspected by Li Qun, and then he was caught and interrogated.

Direct torture.

Because Li Qun also knew that if he wanted to continue the interrogation now, he might not be able to hold on for a few days.

So I don't want to waste time, just use torture faster.

But these people who were tortured either cried for their fathers or mothers and didn't know what was wrong with them, and they couldn't tell what the problems were.

Or you can directly admit that you have a problem and ask not to use torture, but if you ask him to explain the problem, he will not be able to explain it.

In the end, Li Qun checked and found that these people were all respectable people, and they were all arrested later.

After a moment's thought, I realized that the anti-Japanese organization was causing trouble behind the scenes and deliberately asked the secret service headquarters to arrest these people and increase their pressure.

At the same time, let these people say these things to get your attention.

Let the investigation be directed in the wrong direction and waste time on these wrong people. There was not much time in the first place, and it can be said that it is even less now. These people disrupted Li Qun's interrogation work.

But what does the presence of these indicate?

It shows that among the people Li Qun is arresting now, there must be people from anti-Japanese organizations, and there are quite a few of them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such trouble to give such a reminder, so Li Qun is even more reluctant to release him now. After all, you know that there are people from anti-Japanese organizations inside, so how could you be willing to release him like this.

And it looked like there were quite a lot of people there.

There are indeed many people.

But Li Qun arrested more people, hundreds of them.

How do you tell the difference?

And now you say that after releasing him, you will secretly follow up and investigate?

Who do you follow?

How do you follow up and investigate so many people? Do you have so much manpower and material resources to do this?

So Li Qun was a little reluctant, but now the pressure had really reached its limit. The puppet government couldn't bear the trouble and had already given Li Qun an order to release him.

The order this time was very clear, that is, let him release the person as soon as possible.

Because in the view of the puppet government, arresting anti-Japanese elements is only part of their work, even a very small part.

They want to stabilize the situation and take control of the overall situation.

Therefore, the issues they consider are different from those of Li Qun.

Faced with such an order, Li Qun really didn't want to execute it, so he contacted the Japanese and asked them to help stop it.

Allow yourself more time for interrogation. There must be many anti-Japanese elements hidden among these people.

When the Japanese heard that they were arresting anti-Japanese elements, they wanted to continue.

Therefore, I helped Li Qun hold on for a few more days.

However, organizations and military commanders are adding fuel to the flames, even Wan Liang is doing this, so the pressure is increasing day by day, and there are even demonstrations.

They also went to sit in front of various agencies and units to ask the secret service headquarters to release them, saying they were killing innocent people indiscriminately.

Under such pressure, Li Qun finally chose to let him go.

Although he knew that there were still many anti-Japanese elements that had not been found, he also understood that he could not continue. Moreover, the harvest this time was very good, and he felt that it was enough to make a deal.

There is no need to insist on it, lest it backfires.

Song Shutang, who was in the concession area, also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news of the release of people outside.

But what happened this time is undoubtedly a wake-up call for everyone.

After two days, Song Shutang went to Uncle Li first to inquire about the situation of the organization.

The organization still suffered losses. Two comrades were arrested. They were not the first two comrades arrested, but those who were later implicated.

Because Li Qun arrested too many people, there were indeed cases that were not reviewed immediately.

But the loss of the organization is still acceptable, but we have to be more careful in the future.

At the same time, Song Shutang expressed his opinion, believing that someone needs to be responsible for inquiring about the intelligence of the secret service headquarters.

Originally, although Song Shutang was not in the secret service headquarters, it did not prevent him from inquiring about information. After all, Wan Liang was Li Qun's man, and Wan Liang was responsible for most tasks. Song Shutang had a good relationship with Wan Liang, and he could get information through Wan Liang.

Although this is not a direct inquiry, it can indeed elicit information.

But now the relationship between Li Qun and Wan Liang means that Li Qun will not tell Wan Liang the news, so Song Shutang has no chance to get the information. Therefore, Li Qun's actions in the secret agent headquarters have become completely confidential.

This is detrimental to the work of the organization.

Therefore, Song Shutang suggested that the organization could arrange personnel to go to the special agent headquarters to take charge of this task.

When Uncle Li heard Song Shutang's suggestion, he said, "The organization does have this plan."

What happened this time made the organization realize that this problem was imminent.

Song Shutang didn't ask about the organization's thoughts. After all, arranging to lurk in the secret agent headquarters was as important as Song Shutang, so it was impossible for them to know each other's identities.

Seeing that the organization had begun preparations, Song Shutang also provided the situation inside the agent headquarters to see if the organization could make use of it.

After meeting Uncle Li, Song Shutang went to see Bu Kaijie.

When meeting, they also asked about the losses first. Bu Kaijie said that seven people had been lost.

This loss is already huge, but fortunately the entire army was not wiped out, otherwise the loss would be even more incalculable.

Bu Kaijie said: "It is rare for things to be stable under such circumstances this time, but although seven people were lost, four strongholds were lost."

The stronghold military command suffered a lot this time.

The information provided by the previously arrested people led Song Shutang and others to conduct a search in the concession.

In this stronghold within the concession, all personnel have been transferred.

Although the building was empty, the stronghold was exposed.

There were also three exposed outside the concession, so the losses suffered by the military commander this time were actually far more serious than they sounded.

I can only say that fortunately not too many people were exposed.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

Song Shutang also expressed his opinion that Juntong needs to place personnel in the secret service headquarters.

Regarding Song Shutang's proposal, Bu Kaijie said: "In fact, the military command has always had ideas about the problem you mentioned, but it is very difficult to arrange it."

"This confrontation between Li Qun and Wan Liang may be an opportunity."

"It can indeed be regarded as an opportunity, but you are lurking in the secret service headquarters. Your identity has been perfected for you since Shancheng. After you came, you also faced a lot of temptations.

Think about it, if you want to arrange a new person to join the agent headquarters now, it is very difficult. If you don't want to spend time perfecting these, then the person you arranged may be exposed as soon as they enter. "

Song Shutang is indeed aware of the issues Bu Kaijie mentioned.

He defected from Shancheng, and he had no intention of coming to Shanghai. People from Jiangcheng caught him and sent him to Shanghai.

But even so, the secret service headquarters still tested him a lot.

Even very dangerous.

Although he was later asked to join the Secret Service Headquarters and he even completed several tasks for the Secret Service Headquarters, even so, he suffered a lot of temptations in the follow-up.

Even the gendarmerie joined in the fun and conducted dangerous tests on him.

It was under such circumstances that he lurked.

Then let the military commander make arrangements now. If the identity is not clear in the early stage and is suspected.

The situation is immediately very dangerous.

And even if you are prepared, the enemy will not give up their suspicion on you, so they will still expose you.

The military commander didn't want to arrange for someone to go in and be exposed immediately.

Not only will this not be of any help, it will also alert the enemy. It will be difficult for the people you arrange to join the agent headquarters in the future.

So there has been no progress.

Then this incident happened, which made the military commanders feel helpless. It wasn't that they didn't want to prepare for a rainy day, but that they really had no way to get ahead of them.

In this regard, Song Shutang said: "But we must think of a way. You understand the importance of the secret service headquarters in Shanghai. If we give up on intelligence gathering in this place, then our intelligence work can actually be said to be a failure."
