Agents of the Republic of China

Shang Zhensheng and Datou agreed. The old man, the middle-aged man wearing glasses and the young man that Fang Rou saw at the gate of the courtyard were consistent with Hong Chawei's description at the time, and they must be Nie Shangyun and others.The identities of the middle-aged and young men wearing glasses have yet to be determined.What makes people feel strange is the group of people who appeared later. It is conceivable that they clashed with Lin Xiaojun and Zhang Sanshu, or at the same time with Nie Shangyun and others. In the end, only one person came out. The identities of these people are also a mystery .

Shang Zhensheng also raised a question. He hadn't heard Lin Xiaotang mention Uncle Zhang before. Does the appearance of this person mean that there will be new problems?

Before Lin Xiaotang could answer, Datou opened his mouth first, "Uncle Zhang and Lao Qi are both familiar, but I don't know him. He is Ergou's uncle, and he brought Ergou up with one hand. As for whether the two of them have a relationship?" Blood relationship, I believe Lao Qi is not clear either!"

Lin Xiaotang nodded helplessly.The big head is right, although he grew up with Fang Rou and Er Gou, he can only be called familiar with Zhang Sanshu.Because this person was famously withdrawn in the Taihe Bridge area at that time, except for running his grocery store, it was rare to see him interacting with people. When did he get involved in this matter, and why did he get along with his elder brother? To stand together and end up dying because of it?Lin Xiaotang knew nothing about it.

Shang Zhensheng stretched out two fingers, "Obviously, two groups of people are looking for the boss' elder brother Lin Xiaojun at the same time. According to the clues obtained by the boss and the information provided by Yugong, Lin Xiaojun seems to have a little connection with Jin Baihe's plan. We Boldly assume that Lin Xiaojun left ** to work at the Nanjing Central Treasury, would it have something to do with this. If so, it can show that Lin Xiaojun must have a strong purpose to work at the Central Treasury. "

Lin Xiaotang's breathing suddenly became heavy. Shang Zhensheng's analysis was indeed in place, but he was already sure that his eldest brother had a very clear purpose in working in the central treasury.There is no other reason, it is because of the existence of Zhou Chaojian.The two of them sneaked into the central treasury one after another. Maybe it was a move planned by Zhou Chaojian and the elder brother when the elder brother entered the central treasury later.And Zhou Chaojian later died at the hands of killers sent by Nie Shangyun, which can also indirectly show that Zhou Chaojian played a pivotal role in this matter.

After listening to Lin Xiaotang's talk about Zhou Chaojian and what he has gained in Beiping and Tianmu Mountain this time.Both Shang Zhensheng and Datou were shocked. "Unexpectedly, it turned out to be so complicated. It is undeniable that Brother Ling's officer clubs are men who are dedicated to serving the country, but what are they planning? The time span is so long and so many people are involved. Could it be that they want to destroy the Japanese? The Golden Lily Project, so as to obtain sufficient funds to build anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines?"

The big head continued abruptly, "Could it be that the group of people who appeared later that day were Japanese?"

Although Lin Xiaotang agreed with the analysis of the two, it was all speculation after all, without any actual evidence.

"There is another point, you have overlooked!" Dong Jiayi, who had been listening after reading the diary, suddenly said: "It is the commander of the 58th Division of the 12th Army that Ergou is looking for. Xiao Yang learned from Xiao Yang that Xiao Yang had inquired about some news. Ergou once served as an orderly with a regiment commander. After the regiment commander died in battle, he went to the spy camp. This is also very consistent with what Fang Rou recorded. I speculate For a moment, it’s just speculation. Just listen to it!”

Shang Zhensheng laughed, "Jiayi, let me tell you what you think. The three cobblers have surpassed Zhuge Liang. Now that the four of us are here, maybe we can find some valuable clues!"

Lin Xiaotang held Dong Jiayi's hand and nodded at her. Dong Jiayi saw the encouraging look in Lin Xiaotang's eyes, and then continued. "I speculate that Ergou didn't know this head of the regiment surnamed Min at first, and I'm afraid you also know the rules of the army. The orderlies around the commander are all his direct descendants, and we can completely infer the time period after Ergou joined the army. This is a very short period of time, but he was able to gain the trust of the regiment commander and was promoted to be a personal orderly. It shows that the regiment commander trusts him. Moreover, Ergou came to serve as a soldier because of the regimental commander Min. It is certain that there must be an unusual relationship between them. Fang Rou's diary also said that Brother Xiaojun once whispered a few words to the two dogs when they parted. Could it be that the next plan and the contact person told Because of him, Fang Rou and Ergou's trip to Changsha took place."

Lin Xiaotang thought for a long time, and then said to Shang Zhensheng: "Brother Suzhang, please send a telegram to Beiping, and ask Chen Xiao over there, that is, Zhikong, if he has any information about this leader named Min?" In addition, ask him if there are any other personnel in the officer training corps who are familiar with my elder brother and have a good friendship, especially those who left the army at the same time as my elder brother, and ask him to report a detailed information."

Shang Zhensheng nodded in agreement.

Although Fang Rou's diary provided a lot of clues, they were still too vague and trivial fragments for the whole matter, and they were still not enough to unravel the veil of the whole incident.

But now, Zhou Sijing has not had further contact with Lin Xiaotang for the time being, and according to the agreed time, it will be around the end of this year.The goal of Wanquan, since contacting Zhou Sijing, has been completely dormant. The paparazzi sent by Lin Xiaotang are still monitoring him 24 hours a day. It seems that this will be a long process.

So, for now, we can only continue to wait.

……

A few days after Lin Xiaotang returned to Shanghai, Pan Qiqi from Jinzhong Bookstore came to visit. He came to visit under the pretense of delivering books for Lin Xiaotang.Since Lin Xiaotang got acquainted with Pan Qizhong, in order to facilitate communication, he often went to Jinzhong Bookstore to buy books in person or sent someone, so it was most justifiable for him to visit in person.

When meeting Pan Qiqi first congratulated Lin Xiaotang in a serious manner, Lin Xiaotang couldn't help being startled, but then he understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Change the soup without changing the medicine, except for the rank of the lieutenant general, everything else is false!"

Pan Zhongqi put the teacup that Lin Xiaotang handed over on the table, and waved his hands again and again, "The five major throat cities in the enemy-occupied area are now under the control of your Boss Lin, this title is well deserved, but Boss Dai is afraid that you will snatch it away His limelight has no choice but to create such a governor-general!"

The two laughed out loud.

Only Lin Xiaotang and Pan were left in the huge study room.Only then did Pan Zhongzhi get to the point. "The matter you asked me to inquire about earlier has some clues, and I came here to inform you of the news."

Lin Xiaotang raised his eyebrows, "Is there any news from Big Brother Bai?"

Pan Zhongzhi nodded, "Not all of them, some were found by Comrade Bai Qi, and some were passed back through our channels."

Pan Qiqi first told the news about Bai Qi.Since Bai Qi left the army, by chance, he joined the Communist Party's underground organization and was ordered to sneak into the army.Nie Shangyun has a wide network of contacts in the military, and Bai Qi is also a target he can win over.However, since Nie Shangyun was already in decline and had little use value, Bai Qi kept a distance from him deliberately.Therefore, Bai Qi also knew nothing about the forces behind Nie Shangyun.

After Lin Xiaotang's incident and the arrangement of his superiors, Bai Qi began to investigate the trajectory and relationship left by Nie Shangyun.From it, he discovered a person who maintained a very secret relationship with Nie Shangyun. This person was no stranger to Lin Xiaotang. His name was Pei Zhongyan.

This person is currently the Deputy Director of the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense of Chongqing. Because the Second Department is in charge of the collection, analysis and processing of domestic and foreign military intelligence, it has great power. In addition, the Second Department has no director for the time being, so Pei Zhongyan is also the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense. actual owner.Before, Lin Xiaotang had heard in the training class that Pei Zhongyan had a good relationship with Zheng Jiemin, the commander of the military. In those days, Pei Zhongwei and Pei Gang were able to enter the military commander, and it was Zheng Jiemin who facilitated it.

Moreover, Xiao Yang, the spearman, mentioned before his death that when he was training on the island, an officer surnamed Pei appeared. Based on the results of Bai Qi's investigation, Pei Zhongyan seemed to have a very deep relationship with Nie Shangyun.

"Also!" Pan Zhongzhong continued, "Although Nie Shangyun has a lot of contacts, according to the information we found, he is actually very close to the people in the research department. We already have some solid evidence in our hands. Nie Shangyun is outside The funding and staffing of the event have nothing to do with them!"

"Research department?" Lin Xiaotang did not expect Pan Qiqi to say such news. He is no stranger to this research department, and the leader of the research department is Chairman Jiang's favorite general, Chen Cheng.In the early days of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the national government adopted Yan’an’s opinion and established a training class for guerrilla cadres. Later, relying on the training class, it set up espionage teams and intelligence teams, and the research department gradually developed on this basis.It is also another major intelligence organization within the national government besides the military reunification, the central reunification, and the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense.

But it does not have a permanent organization, but relies on the intelligence organization derived from the Intelligence Department of the Navy Command, the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense, and the Military Inspection Department. All personnel are Chen Cheng's confidantes, and Chen Cheng is the only one who follows the lead.

"Nie Shangyun, Pei Zhongyan's Second Department of National Defense, and the Department of Research. What are the three plotting together? How could they have anything to do with Big Brother? Create a secret training base and train personnel. It is going on without the knowledge of the Chongqing side, and the military and central government seem to be unaware of this, so which direction will the situation develop next?"

Lin Xiaotang only felt that there was a lot of fog in front of him.
