My spy diary

Chapter 325 White-hot (asking for monthly ticket)
"Bang, bang, bang"

On a dark and windy night, from a grove not far from No. 76, several sharp gunshots rang out across the sky.

Wu Gengshu and his two men fell to the ground.

After the gunshot, the grove returned to silence.

At this time, Li Shijun and Ding Mocun came over. They stared at the corpse on the ground, which was oozing blood, with serious expressions.

Ding Mocun said:

"Brother Shijun, isn't it too hasty to execute them without trial?"

Li Shijun glanced at him and said calmly:
"This is what Chairman Wang meant."

Ding Mocun sighed and said, "They can just turn into our own people. Doing this will only make No. 76 an enemy for no reason."

Li Shijun disagreed: "Making enemies is normal. I once had hope for them, but what did I get in return?
People in our profession must not be soft-hearted. Only by killing them can we fill the anti-Japanese elements with fear, make them unable to sleep or eat, and make them dare not to be enemies of the new government again."

Ding Mocun knew that he was talking about Liu Geqing.

Since the establishment of Special Agent Headquarters No. 76, the only captured KMT member who was spared by Li Shijun was Liu Geqing.

After Liu Geqing was transferred to the Jinling Detention Center, his treatment was naturally very different from that of No. 76.

As a wanted criminal, he would be beaten and scolded by the guards if he disobeyed.

After several clashes, the detention center director Tang Guozhong came to the door and started cursing at Liu Geqing as soon as he saw him:
"You are a running dog of the Shancheng government. You dare to act so arrogantly in my territory. I will teach you a lesson."

As he said this, he was about to come up and beat Liu Geqing himself.

But Liu Geqing was not someone a "weakling" like him could bully. After a few punches, he made Tang Guozhong's nose bleed.

The prisoner beat the director of the detention center, and naturally the news spread to the outside world. Soon, a group of Tang Guozhong's minions started to beat up Liu Geqing.

Two fists are no match for four hands, and Liu Geqing was beaten so badly that he had to be hospitalized.

After Li Shijun learned about it, he rushed to the hospital in Jinling to visit Liu Geqing and scolded Tang Guozhong severely.

Then he proposed to send Liu Geqing to study in Japan.

The traitors from the occupied areas going to Japan were called "gilding", and those who performed well might even be received by the Emperor.

For example, Yuan Shu, with his high emotional intelligence and good interpersonal skills, was very successful among the Japanese and was even received by the Japanese Emperor.

But Liu Geqing knew that even if he did not become a traitor, if he really went to Japan, he would become a real traitor and he would not be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

But agreeing is one thing, and going or not is another.

Liu Geqing pretended to be submissive on the surface and took the opportunity to ask Li Shijun to release "Yanmao Xishi" Lu Di first.

Seeing that he was beginning to "change his mind", Li Shijun felt that it was okay.

Little did he know that Liu Geqing had already begun planning his escape from prison.

As long as Lu Di is released, he will have nothing to worry about and can carry out his plan without any worries.

Just like that, after Liu Geqing was discharged from the hospital and returned to prison, the news that he was going to Japan to "gild his reputation" had spread. Director Tang and a group of prison guards made a 180-degree turn in their attitude towards him, and they were very respectful and responsive to his every request.

Because these people all know that the traitors who have returned after being "gilded" are half Japanese and will be entrusted with important tasks. They may become their superiors one day, so naturally they will burn incense and worship in advance.

Soon Liu Geqing was transferred to the prison welfare house, where he spent half of his time in jail and the other half making matches, and the precautions against him were much more lax.

Liu Geqing took advantage of the lax guards and secretly forged a prison pass, and eventually escaped successfully.

After returning to the mountain city, he reported his experience to Dai Chunfeng and wrote a "thank you letter" to Li Shijun.

".I am grateful for your help from afar. I was in a hurry to go south this time and was unable to come to the headquarters to say goodbye. I still regret it. This is for no other reason, but to return south to apologize and wait for the punishment from the superiors. Sir, please take pity on me. When the country is at peace, I will repay you one day."

Liu Geqing had already agreed to go to Japan, but he didn't expect that the cooked duck would fly away.

After seeing the letter, Li Shijun was extremely angry. It said something like "I will repay you one day after the national affairs are at peace". If the Japanese were really defeated, he, Li Shijun, would have a good ending.

Therefore, if the anti-Japanese elements do not surrender and cannot be used by their own forces, it is better to kill them.

Hearing him say this, Ding Mocun smiled and said nothing more.

While the two were silent, a plainclothes officer numbered 76 quietly walked up and said:

"Director Ding, Director Li, we received a letter from Hong Kong, the recipient is Dai Xingbing.

The technical department has checked it, and there is nothing to see from the outside, do you want it?"

"no need."

Li Shijun interrupted him and glanced at Ding Mocun. Both of them were in a state of shock. This letter might be a reply from Dai Chunfeng.

The two immediately returned to the office and began to read the letter.

The letter is over a thousand words long and starts with talking about Ding and Li's background, resume, and past.

It mentioned Ding Mocun's social interactions when he was the director of the Third Department of the former Military Control Commission, and also talked about Li Shijun's love for Liu Geqing. Finally, it mentioned the New Fourth Army active in the Jiangnan area. Finally, it said that both sides could put aside their prejudices and secretly work together to deal with the Red Party.

After reading the letter, Li Shijun thought and asked:
"Brother Mocun, you have worked with Dai Yunong before and know him better than I do. What do you think?"

Ding Mocun examined the letter and said, "It does sound like Dai Yunong's tone, but the handwriting is not his, and there is no signature. They are too careful. They are afraid that we will use this letter to make a fuss."

"We are all in this business, so it's understandable that he wouldn't leave any evidence in the letter."

Li Shijun smiled, thought for a while, and picked up the phone:

"Send Dai Xingbing to the No. 1 preferential treatment room."

Hearing him say this, Ding Mo asked doubtfully:
"Is there anything wrong with the letter?"

Special treatment room No. 1 has just been renovated and has been fitted with coated glass, allowing one to peek into the next room.

Li Shijun smiled mysteriously: "Just because we didn't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. After all, we should always be on guard against others."

"Alright, it's a good opportunity to try wearing the star handle."

The two of them went to the No. 1 preferential room and waited for a while, and then Dai Xingbing arrived.

Li Shijun handed the letter over and said:
“This is a letter from your old leader Dai Yunong, take a look.

Even he said that the Red Party is our common enemy, so from now on you should just focus on working for the new government and stop being distracted and indecisive. "

"Director Li, you are joking. You and Director Ding are my leaders.

After this arrest, I have come to my senses and am willing to contribute my wholeheartedly to Chairman Wang's great cause of peace, and I will never have second thoughts from now on."

Li Shijun smiled and did not comment.

He winked at Ding Mocun and said, "Okay, Director Ding and I have something else to do, you can take your time reading the letter.

After reading this, think carefully about how to deal with the Red Party, and it would be best if you could write a plan.”

"Yes." Dai Xingbing had no idea there was any trick in it, so he took the letter respectfully and began to read it.

Li Shijun and Ding Mocun left the room and immediately went to the next room.

The huge coated mirror on the wall could clearly show Dai Xingbing's facial expression.

From the perspective of the two, they saw Dai Xingbing glance over the letter and then start reading again from the beginning.

As he read, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he looked back at the door vigilantly, sat up straight, and began to read the letter word by word.

Ding and Li sneered at this action.

Needless to say, there must be secrets hidden in the letters that they have not discovered.

Li Shijun picked up the phone on the table with a gloomy face:

"Ask Li Hongwei and Zhou Haoran to come to my office."

Li Hongwei is originally from Northeast China and is a handwriting identification expert trained by Japan's Special High Police.

Zhou Haoran is a cryptography expert.

"I'm very curious about what secrets are written in this letter."

Half an hour later, Li Shijun took back the letter on the pretext of archiving it, and pretended to comfort Dai Xingbing, then sent him back and immediately went to his office. Handwriting identification expert Li Hongwei and cryptography expert Zhou Haoran were already waiting.

Li Hongwei is in his early forties, with gray hair. He holds a microscope in his gloved hands and looks confident.

Zhou Haoran also brought tools such as an alcohol lamp, medicine, and a magnifying glass.

Li Shijun handed the letter to the two of them.

"let's start."

Zhou Haoran took the letter and smelled it first, but didn't find any smell of medicine. He picked up the letter and heated it over the alcohol lamp, but still found nothing.

"Director Li, can you let me copy the letter and try to rearrange it?"

Li Shijun agreed and nodded, then looked at Li Hongwei, an expert in handwriting identification.

He recalled Dai Xingbing's behavior in the room and was certain that the secret was hidden in the text.

Li Hongwei took the letter, put it under a microscope, and observed the horizontal, vertical, left and right strokes.

Seeing that he had finished his observation, Li Shijun immediately asked, "Are there any results?"

Li Hongwei nodded.

"How about it?"

Li Hongwei looked at him and said, "The characters were written by the same person. The strokes are strong and powerful. He must have been writing calligraphy for at least ten years."

"That's not what I'm asking. I want to know if there are any hidden secrets here."

Li Hongwei frowned: "A person's writing habits can be fully revealed under a microscope. If there is any difference, it is that some characters are different in thickness."

“The strokes are different in thickness?”

Li Shijun was stunned. He didn't expect the matter to be so simple. He immediately took the letter and read it again.

Knowing the answer, the process of deducing is undoubtedly much simpler.

He soon discovered the secret hidden in the letters.

He told cryptographer Zhou Haoran:

"You pick out all the characters with rough strokes and arrange them in different combinations."

"Yes."

Soon, as Zhou Haoran copied, a line of words appeared on the paper.

". Pretend to cooperate, continue to hide, look for opportunities to get rid of Ding and Li first, and then speed up the elimination of Wang."

Looking at this text, Ding Mocun and Li Shijun's faces turned gloomy at the same time.

"cunning."

"insidious."

I don’t know if this was said by Dai Yunong or Dai Xingbing.

But in the eyes of Ding and Li, this man named Dai Xingbing is simply ungrateful.

When the crime was exposed before, Mr. Wang chose to forgive this person because he provided clues about Wu Gengshu and others, considering his merits and their old friendship.

Unexpectedly, this guy appeared to be respectful and honest on the surface, but secretly took the opportunity of exchanging letters with Dai Chunfeng to reestablish a relationship with him.

Things never happen more than three times. This is intolerable.

Li Shijun sent the two appraisal experts away and sneered:
"Since he is seeking death, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Now he was even more certain that his previous actions were correct and that he must not be lenient towards those KMT members who had fallen into trouble.

Once any suspicious signs are found, the person will be executed immediately without any trial.

Ding Mocun pondered for a while and said, "Let's report it and see what Mr. Wang says."

Li Shijun nodded and said thoughtfully: "I have been thinking about establishing our own agent training school."

Ding Mocun nodded in agreement and said:

"You've been to the Soviet Union, so you're an expert in this area. You can handle this matter as you wish. However, you can refer to the model of the Military Control Commission, but the organizational structure should refer to that of the Red Party."

Li Shijun's heart moved. He was from the Red Party. The system of the Red Party's intelligence network might not be the most scientific, but practice has proved that their strict organizational structure is much stronger than that of the Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission.

Those people never lack loyalty and perseverance, what they lack is training and experience.

"Okay, I'll think about this carefully and report to Brother Mocun."

"Let's discuss it together."

"Yes, haha." Li Shijun looked at him and smiled, but in his heart he was thinking about how to kick Ding Mo Village out and become the principal of the training school himself.

By then, he will have a well-trained underground army loyal to him, and the Japanese will be friendly to him.

As Li Shijun reported it, Wang Tianhai's instructions arrived soon.

Wang was extremely angry about the second "betrayal" of his old subordinate Dai Xingbing, and he executed him immediately with a stroke of his pen.

So, in the grove before No. 76, Dai Xingbing was executed.

He was the first major general-level agent of the Military Control Commission to be executed since the assassination of Wang.

"Stationmaster, something has happened."

In the special contact station, the monkey hurried in and said:
“News just arrived.

In the evening, someone placed a time bomb in the business hall of the Bank of China in the French Concession, killing more than a dozen people on the spot.
Just now, news came that thugs rushed into the staff dormitory of Jiangsu Agricultural Bank and dozens of employees and their families were shot to death.

The thugs used machine guns, and shot indiscriminately, killing no one, young or old, women or children. It was so cruel!"

"Although these people are all masked, they are definitely from No. 76."

Zhang Yi had a solemn look on his face. The struggle had undoubtedly reached a fever pitch, and it had shifted from the intelligence front to the banking industry.

After such a horrific murder, the employees of other banks must have been terrified and had no concentration on their work.

As a result, not only would the funding of the various intelligence organizations in the Shanghai area become a problem, but even the finances in the rear would become stretched.

People who work while sitting down and those who work while standing up are never the same kind of people.

If you make life uneasy for those guys in the Ministry of Finance, they will make you unhappy.

No one cares how difficult your work is. If it’s not done well, it’s not done well.

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's report to the bureau headquarters first and see what Boss Dai says.

In addition, we will send out our intelligence personnel to find out the true identity of the culprit and punish him immediately."

When something evil happens, is it the person who gives the order who is hateful, or the person who carries out the order who is hateful?

The person who executes orders will say that his job is to execute orders, and if he does not execute orders, he will be punished.

Under the idea that the superior's will is supreme, military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Soldiers should not and do not need to have their own ideas. They just need to follow orders.

But when something evil happens, the person who gives the order will certainly be punished in the later reckoning, but as for the evil person who carries out the order, you could have just carried it out perfunctorily, but ended up aiding and abetting the evil.

Of course, discussing the right and wrong of something with a crazy and inhuman guy like No. 76 is obviously like talking to a cow.

These crazy guys deserve to die, there is no doubt about it.

So the problem is back to the starting point, and we still need to cut off Ding Mocun, Li Shijun and other traitors who aided and abetted the tyrant.

Where to start?

Zhang Yi thought about it and asked:
"Is there any news from Wang Tianlin?"
