The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 523 Unlucky Lin Shiqun
Ding Mo-jun drove to Zhou Mansion on Yuyuan Road with Peng Nian and the gunman's confession.

Zhou Fuhai was having dinner at home.

The couple were talking when they heard that Ding Moqun had arrived. They were a little surprised. He was very impatient and arrived shortly after they hung up the phone.

It seems that the conflict between Ding and Lin in No. 76 has reached an irreconcilable point, which is obviously not in the interests of the Wang family.

We must find a way to solve this problem. The infighting among the most important intelligence and counterintelligence agencies is not a good thing for the new Wang Puppet Regime. Moreover, No. 76 is currently a sharp weapon against the two unified agents in Chongqing and the Communist Party.

This sharp blade must be held in one's own hands.

He and Wang were not completely on the same page. Although Wang was the flagpole, he did not want to be the one waving the flag and cheering under Wang.

Ding Mo-chun has a very good relationship with him. Lin Shi-qun is a fickle guy who has long been proven to be an ungrateful person who can never be fed...

Glancing at his wife who was eating, Zhou Fuhai said, "Shuhui, Ding Mocun will be in my study to discuss something later. Don't let anyone get close to him."

"Okay, I got it." Yang Shuhui agreed. Zhou Fuhai was also a playboy. He was often away from home and it was common for him to sleep with other prostitutes outside. He was a frequent visitor to the brothel in this music club.

But she would turn a blind eye if he went to a brothel, but would absolutely not tolerate him taking her home.

The two are having a quarrel.

But even if she was upset, she would still know her limits and would not do anything rash unless she was really pissed off. Otherwise, Zhou Fuhai would still have stayed with her for so many years.

Ding Mocun was a frequent visitor to Zhou Mansion, so he was naturally familiar with the place when he entered. However, Peng Nian, who followed behind, seemed a little reserved.

The two exchanged a few words in the living room, and then Zhou Fuhai led them to the study.

"What's going on? It's so late and you're still doing this to me?" Zhou Fuhai was a little annoyed because he was having a quarrel with his wife.

Of course there were other reasons, such as the establishment of the Central Reserve Bank, and the Japanese secretly contacted Chongqing in Hong Kong...

The Japanese troops on the front line tacitly agreed to a ceasefire with the national army, and some places even deliberately relaxed the blockade.

Of course, the situation with the base areas controlled by the Communist Party was another matter. The Japanese instigated Chongqing to secretly attack the Communist Party.

In short, there is nothing good, just some headaches.

"Peng Nian, you speak." Ding Moqun pushed Peng Nian to the front.

"Minister Zhou, this is what happened..." Although Peng Nian had already prepared a speech in his mind on the way, he still stuttered when reporting to Zhou Fuhai and was sweating with nervousness.

The study was small and a bit stuffy, and the weather was already quite hot. After finishing the report, Peng Nian's vest was soaked. He couldn't help but take out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the sweat off his face.

After listening to it, Zhou Fuhai understood what was going on.

In order to cut off Ding Mocun's wings in No. 76, Lin Shiqun asked Wu Sibao to find someone to assassinate Peng Nian. As long as he was not caught, no one would know that it was him who assassinated Peng Nian. In the current chaotic situation, there were countless cases of the Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission assassinating "traitors". When the time came, they would just push the blame onto the Military Control Commission.

Peng Nian also caught the gunman and brought the gunman's confession testimony.

Zhou Fuhai had no reason to doubt this. In his opinion, Ding Mocun and Peng Nian did not need to use such a sensational case to forge and fabricate false evidence for him.

Because Lin Shiqun is not stupid, and when the time comes for a confrontation, he will not be able to hide his lies. It is very likely that the whole thing is really like this.

Lin Shiqun is capable of doing this.

In fact, anyone can do what is being done, it just depends on whether they want to do it or not.

Ding Mocun was moving the conflict up the ladder, and he was also seeking his support or an attitude. Although Peng Nian had a lucky escape, what about those who were not lucky enough?
Who knows how many of the No. 76 souls who died at the hands of the "Military Control Commission" in the past six months were done by the Military Control Commission, and how many were the result of Lin Shiqun's behind-the-scenes plot to eliminate dissidents?
Ding Mocun deliberately didn't say anything, but Zhou Fuhai was no fool, so how could he not understand that someone at No. 76 was assassinated? Then what about the Wang Group? Many people were also assassinated by the Military Control Commission or the Central Control Commission. Some of them had a problem with "Lin Shiqun", right?

Don't think too much about this question.

If you do something like this and no one finds out and there is no evidence, then naturally no one can do anything to you. But once someone catches you, the evidence will be gone.

That's no small matter.

Those who secretly eliminate dissidents in the name of opponents are the ones who are most likely to touch the sensitive nerves of these rebels.

Lin Shiqun would not act so rudely, so how did he get discovered?

Zhou Fuhai also suspected whether this was an elaborate plan by Ding and Peng to deal a fatal blow to Lin Shiqun. If this matter was confirmed, Lin Shiqun would become disloyal in No. 76, and his life might even be in danger.

How could he be so unwise as to be caught with such a big handle by Ding Moqun?

Lin Shiqun is the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Police and has the support of the Japanese behind him. If you want to remove him, you have to get the Japanese's approval.

Moreover, the Japanese don’t care about the power struggle within No. 76. What they care about is who can do things for them.

Ding Mo-cun is obviously not that person, Lin Shi-qun is.

This is a difficult matter.

"Old Ding, Lin Shiqun is also your subordinate. Tell me, how should this matter be handled?"

"Mr. Zhou, Old Ding thinks that there is no direct evidence to prove that Deputy Director Lin is the mastermind behind the incident. We can only say that Wu Sibao is involved in this case." Ding Moqun nodded slightly. Although he had evidence in hand, Bai Saner was only Wu Sibao's disciple. He did not directly hear Lin Shiqun's order to kill Peng Nian. All the orders were from Wu Sibao. Even if Wu Sibao mentioned Lin Shiqun, there was no possibility that he would misunderstand or falsely convey the imperial edict?
"Peng Nian, do you have any grudge against Wu Sibao?"

Peng Nian looked embarrassed. He was Lao Ding's die-hard supporter and must have had conflicts with Wu Sibao. Otherwise, how could Lin Shiqun target him to the point of killing him?

Among Ding Mocun's subordinates, Peng Nian is not the most prominent one. There are also Xia Zhongming, Mao Ziming and other close confidants!
The relationship between Peng Nian and Wu Sibao must be not good.

"Minister Zhou, but I haven't had any conflict with Wu Sibao recently!" Peng Nian then quickly defended himself, saying that he hadn't angered the other party recently, so how could the other party want his life for no reason? This was unreasonable.

There is another meaning, that is, the hatred between him and Wu Sibao is not yet to the point of wanting to kill him.

"Let's go to No. 76 and confront them in person?"

"agree."

"Minister Zhou, I agree to the confrontation, but Wu Sibao must be controlled first to prevent them from making false confessions!" Ding Mocun suggested.

"can."
