Chapter 644: Grasping the Clues
The division is now waiting for a telegram from the Jinling division.

As for the work on the partition itself, it is also going on, but most of it is routine tasks.

After waiting for about a week, the Jinling Division did send a telegram to the Secret Service Headquarters. However, since the radio station in the division only intercepted telegrams from the Secret Service Headquarters, it naturally could not escape the fate of being intercepted.

After receiving the telegram, he handed it to Mei Muzhizi immediately.

Mei Muzhizi also deciphered the telegram as quickly as possible and then sent it to Song Shutang.

After reading the telegram, Song Shutang said, "The Jinling Division actually found a clue and discovered that the two officials who died in Shanghai were responsible for investigating a smuggling case before coming to Shanghai for the meeting."

"That's right, and this smuggling case involves many people, so the two officials are investigating secretly." Mei Muzhizi said.

It is said to be a secret investigation, but in fact it depends on the situation.

See who is behind it.

If it is a very important person, they may not continue the investigation and choose to accept a bribe.

Then stop.

If we can find out something else, we will continue to delve deeper. To put it bluntly, it all depends on the benefits.

Therefore, not many people knew about it before, otherwise they would have understood this situation long ago.

The results are still being investigated by the Jinling Division.

Moreover, according to the intelligence provided by the Jinling Division, they have already investigated the person behind the smuggling case. Because they have investigated this matter, they can conduct corresponding investigations and find out who was responsible for the investigation among the two officials before.

Just ask them directly.

They had remained silent before, after all, they were not clear about the specific situation.

I didn't dare to talk about this matter casually. After all, the previous investigations were kept confidential. Maybe I was afraid that some big shot would be implicated behind the scenes.

Now we have found some clues in the Jinling Division, and they dare not keep silent when we find them, so we now have the specific information.

This made Song Shutang a little puzzled.

The Military Control Commission already knew about this matter in advance, so they must have taken countermeasures.

How can we find clues here in the Jinling Division?

If the Jinling Division investigates the clues in a reasonable way, they will be able to follow the clues and it will have a great impact on you in the future.

If it affects you, what can you do to protect your own people?
The only option is to retreat.

But if you choose to retreat, then what’s the point of your previous actions in Shanghai.

Wouldn't that be a waste of money?

Therefore, Song Shutang was not satisfied with the result. He felt that the response of the Military Control Commission was not reflected at all. The Jinling Division had already investigated to this point, and it was definitely not reasonable for you to have further response.

The Jinling Division has grasped the crux of the problem. The investigation of the two Jinling officials must have made some executive progress, otherwise why would the Military Control Commission choose to kill people in Shanghai to silence them?

It is logically correct.

Song Shutang now has no idea what the Military Control Commission is doing. They clearly have the information in advance, and the action in Shanghai was also carried out by them, but the Jinling Branch unexpectedly discovered so much of it.

However, in front of Mei Muzhizi, Song Shutang certainly couldn't say these things, so he analyzed and asked: "What do you think of this matter?"

Mei Mu Zhizi said: "I think even if they did investigate the smuggling, it's not possible that the officials behind it killed people to silence them because they were afraid of being exposed. Instead, it was the Military Control Commission who was responsible for the killing."

What Mei Mu Zhizi is now denying is another possibility.

After all, you said that investigating smuggling may involve many people. So if the people involved don't want what they have done to be made public, can they choose to kill people to silence them?

absolutely okay.

This has happened before among them.

But Mei Mu Zhizi directly denied this matter.

Song Shutang asked: "Why?"

"Even if officials from Nanjing wanted to kill people in Shanghai and frame the Military Control Commission, it is impossible for so many people to come out to kill and then retreat in an orderly manner."

Mei Muzhizi felt that it was simply impossible.

According to the information currently available, many people were involved in the Military Control Commission's operation.

You said it was the officials from Nanjing who were looking for him?
Can they find so many people in Shanghai?
Obviously it is impossible.

Do you think that if you have the power in Jinling or are willing to spend money, you can find so many people in Shanghai to work for you?

Moreover, he assassinated officials from Nanjing.

There is no way those desperate criminals would agree to such a deal; they would not provoke the Japanese.

Therefore, even if the people from Jinling wanted to kill people and frame them, it would definitely be done by a very small number of people who completed the task in secret.

This situation may also be caused by the officials in Jinling themselves.

Now that is completely impossible.

The second thing is retreat. Even if you really managed to gather so many people, they would definitely be a mob.

If it was a mob, how could they retreat so tacitly?

How is it possible that he cannot be caught in subsequent searches?

This is unreasonable.

It must be a professional organization, so it must be the Military Control Commission.

Therefore, Mei Mu Zhizi is now very sure and there is no need to doubt who did it.

After hearing what Mei Muzhizi said, Song Shutang of course knew that it made sense, so he couldn't deny it, let alone try to change the other party's thinking.

Moreover, there is no need to worry even if Mei Muzhizi's ideas are correct. They cannot participate in the investigation anyway, and it is even more impossible for them to tell Li Qun their correct command.

Therefore, Song Shutang did not need to behave strangely in front of Mei Muzhizi.

And if she can think of it, Li Qun must be able to think of it as well. There is no point in changing Mei Muzhizi's mind.

So Song Shutang said, "If that's the case, why did the Military Control Commission take action against these two people?"

"It must be related to the other party's investigation into the smuggling case. I guess the person in charge of the smuggling is an official from Nanjing, but he must be a member of the Military Control Commission."

"Are you talking about this undercover agent from the Military Control Commission?"

"It's obvious, why else would they do that?"

But Song Shutang frowned and said, "If you say that the smuggler is an undercover agent of the Military Control Commission, then it proves that his identity as a member of the Military Control Commission has not been exposed. If it is just this matter, he can find a way to avoid disaster by spending money. There is no need to take the risk of killing someone in Shanghai, right?"

Song Shutang believes that killing someone is definitely a more dangerous thing, and the risk is too great.

It is even possible that the person was not killed, which would expose him directly.

Moreover, the hidden identity of the Military Control Commission member has not been discovered, so the matter can be handled through gentler means without taking any radical measures.

Mei Mu Zhizi said: "Then there must be something we don't know about, forcing the Military Control Commission to make such a judgment. Maybe their people are too important, and there is no way to avoid disaster by spending money, so they can only resort to this last resort.

It cannot affect the hidden situation of the military personnel, but I didn't expect to be targeted by the secret service headquarters. "Meimu Zhizi is just proposing a hypothesis now, and the specific situation is unknown. It may be much more complicated than this hypothesis.

However, it was inevitable that members of the Military Control Commission would silence the witnesses in order to protect the undercover personnel in Nanjing.

Everything was so clear now. Song Shutang felt that it would be too troublesome for the Military Control Commission to still deal with it.

He has no time to worry at the moment. Even if he tells Bu Kaijie this information, it won't have much effect.

But he will still find opportunities.

"It seems that the director is going to make a contribution." Song Shutang said.

Having investigated to this point, the subsequent investigation can actually be foreseen, and it is reasonable to expect meritorious service.

Mei Mu Zhizi also sighed and said, "Jinling is not our place after all, so it's hard to intervene."

They did try before, but failed. Otherwise, they would have been able to get a piece of the pie this time.

"The person that the Military Control Commission is trying so hard to protect must be very important. It depends on how many surprises the Jinling Division can bring to the Director this time."

"Maybe it's because of how many surprises it brings to us."

"It's not like we didn't gain anything. At least this situation can't be hidden from us."

"Too."

Mei Muzhizi felt that he should keep a calm mind. Since it was already difficult to intervene, he should stop thinking about it.

Song Shutang said, "Let's wait and see."

After the two finished their discussion, they burned the information to prevent anyone from finding it.

Afterwards, Song Shutang found an opportunity and went to report the matter to Bu Kaijie. Song Shutang's tone was indeed not very good when he reported.

After all, I feel that the Military Control Commission's handling of the matter was a bit too hasty. It could have been dealt with earlier, so how did the investigation get to this point?

The official who was killed must have investigated something substantial, otherwise the Military Control Commission would not have risked killing people.

Now that the person in charge of the investigation has been found in the Jinling Division, the so-called substantive content must also be in the hands of the Jinling Division, but it was not stated in the intelligence reported to the Special Agent Headquarters.

After all, the Jinling Division only needs to be informed of the progress, and Li Qun does not need to make decisions on how to investigate. The work of the division is arranged by the division chief.

Moreover, this time the credit is about to be obtained, so the district chief also wants to show himself. If everything needs Li Qun to make arrangements first, what use is you just a puppet?

The district chief has a great deal of autonomy, especially in the out-of-town districts.

How could I not make achievements myself?

Although the task was assigned by Li Qun, it happened in Shanghai after all, so it is normal for the secret service headquarters to make arrangements for it.

But the entire investigation was completed by people from the Jinling Division, so they bear the lion's share of the credit.

There is no doubt about this.

Therefore, Song Shutang's tone was not very good. You are seeing that the Jinling Division has made contributions, the Military Control Commission has suffered losses, and all previous actions have been in vain. How can you be in a good mood?

However, in response to his report, Bu Kaijie did not respond at all.

When Song Shutang saw the other party like this, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously asked: "Did the superior do this on purpose?"

Bu Kaijie smiled and said nothing.

Song Shutang breathed a sigh of relief and said that the Military Control Commission had clearly known the news in advance, so how could such a situation occur?

Now it seems that this was done intentionally.

Then everything is easy to explain.

Faced with this situation, Song Shutang asked: "What exactly does the superior want to do?"

"I don't know what the higher-ups want to do, but this matter shouldn't be a big problem. You can get telegrams from Jinling, so you'll know slowly."

"So I don't have to tell you any news later?"

"If it's about this matter, then it's really not necessary." Bu Kaijie said.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Song Shutang said. If he had known it earlier, he wouldn't have to worry and he wouldn't have to make such a trip.

Bu Kaijie said helplessly: "I just found out about it too."

In fact, Bu Kaijie shouldn't know about it, after all, it was an action from Jinling. It was just that Boss Dai took Song Shutang's situation into consideration.

He was worried that Song Shutang was not aware of the truth of the matter and was eager to help the Military Control Commission, which might put him in danger.

That's why he notified Bu Kaijie and asked him to tell Song Shutang about this matter, in order to calm the other party down and prevent him from facing danger.

Although it was not clear in advance, Song Shutang felt that knowing it now was good news. At least the Military Control Commission would not suffer any losses.

As long as this is not the case, it doesn't make much difference whether you know it earlier or later.

Bu Kaijie also said: "I guess the actions of the higher-ups have also changed. It may not have been like this before. Maybe they are taking advantage of the situation now."

Song Shutang agreed with Bu Kaijie's statement.

Because you are operating in Shanghai, you have no idea how the enemy will react.

It would be fine if the investigation was launched in Jinling, but what if we don’t?
Wouldn’t it be useless if you prepared in advance?

Therefore, Song Shutang believed that the Military Control Commission initially killed people in Shanghai to protect the undercover personnel in Nanjing. It was only with the investigation of the Nanjing Division that the plan was gradually changed.

Obviously the current changes may be for the better.

"It depends on what the higher-ups want to do." Song Shutang said.

"We'll just have to wait and see."

Song Shutang was in a bad mood when he came today, but he was in a good mood when he left.

When he returned to the division, he was still in charge of directing and arranging work. He did not continue to be angry about his people being sent back from Jinling.

After all, it's all over, there's no point in you being angry now.

After Li Qun at the secret service headquarters received the telegram from the Jinling Division, he realized that he was about to make a contribution, so his reply in the telegram was to ask the other party to continue the investigation.

There are no arrangements for how to investigate.

Because the telegram did not contain any specific details of the investigation, it was obvious that the Jinling district chief had already planned to conduct an investigation and did not need to ask Li Qun's opinion.

In this case, Li Qun would not have to give orders, and those who can be district chiefs are very capable and will have no problem taking charge of such a task.

Li Qun just needs to let the other party investigate.

As for making meritorious service.

Naturally, he would have no objection to the credit for the Jinling Division, but after all, this matter was initiated by Li Qun, so he must have made a contribution as well.

Even in the eyes of the Japanese in the Mei Agency, his contribution was greater than that of the district chief of the Jinling Division.
