Agents of the Republic of China

Tang Zong had been waiting for more than an hour in the small living room of Dai Liju Residential Courtyard in Luojiawan, Chongqing. Even the tea in the cup had lost its taste. The fear and hesitation in his heart made him restless, and he stood up from time to time, facing the door. Looking outside.

A spy was watching Tang Zong's movements in the concierge not far away, and wrote down something in his notebook from time to time. He looked at his watch and saw that the hour and a half that Dai Li said was up, so he came out from the back door, flying like ran towards the backyard.

The backyard was in full swing at this time, and several shirtless men speaking with a Shanghai accent were installing a huge machine by the wall downstairs, sweat dripping down their cheeks into the ground under their feet.

Dai Li was standing in the shade not far away, holding a cattail fan in his hand, and took the ice towel handed over by his subordinates with the other hand.

"Is this thing really that easy to use?" Dai Li pointed to the machine and asked a man in a white copy silk shirt beside him.

The man smiled apologetically and spoke with an authentic Shanghai accent, "Director Dai Mingjian, in the past we used water to adjust the temperature and humidity of the air conditioners, not to mention slow cooling, and the cooling effect is not obvious. The jointly developed air-conditioning system uses chlorofluoronitrogen gas for cooling, so not only is the cooling speed fast, but the effect is even better. As long as it is maintained every month, it will be used for ten or eight years without any problems!"

Dai Li seemed to understand, and nodded, "Thanks to Youzhong, the stove in Chongqing is always the most difficult in this season, and the chairman is not afraid of heat, otherwise, I will give him the old man first if I say anything." Put one on."

"Go back and tell Youzhong that the incident in Shanghai has been hard on him this time. Nie Shangyun is seeking his own death, so don't worry about it, but you don't have to worry about the person who made him. I will investigate it here. After all, the matter involved Senior management, it is inappropriate for him to intervene, I am also considering his future and safety, you must bring my words to him."

The man bowed and agreed, "Don't worry, Director Dai, I will tell you everything."

"Also," Dai Li continued, "Next, the new station chief of Shanghai station, Chen Gongtu, will take office immediately, and I ask Youzhong to assist me at that time."

The man was taken aback for a moment, but then he concealed his astonishment and dissatisfaction, and lowered his head. "Director Dai, please rest assured!"

At this time, the subordinates in the front yard had already run over, and when they saw the strange man beside Dai Li, they hesitated to speak.The man resigned tactfully.His subordinates moved closer to Dai Li. "In one and a half hours, he stood up eight times and smoked ten cigarettes. Although he was very anxious, he had no intention of leaving."

Dai Li nodded silently, walked towards the house, and when he reached the door, he said, "Please come here!"

……

Tang Zong looked anxiously at Dai Li in front of him, wanted to speak but didn't know where to start, so he froze for a while.

Looking at his hesitant look, Dai Li sneered secretly in his heart.This Tang Naijian, known as "softness overcomes rigidity", is scheming, good at ever-changing, and hides a knife in his smile.He usually shows people with an elegant and gentle face, but he started out as a small report.Dai Li had dealt with him a lot, and he was often defeated by his so-called stubbornness. I heard that Tang Zong often boasted of this in front of others, claiming that he "possesses extremely strong principles."

But today, seeing Tang Zong approaching him with lowered eyebrows, Dai Li felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

But it is impossible for Dai Li to embarrass Tang Zong too much, because after all, he was sent by the chairman to the military command, and he is also the major general leader of the sixth team in the first office of the attendant room. Stop, beat and beat, let him understand who is in charge of the military commander.

"Brother Nai Jian, you can repent in time this time and withdraw from the matter. It can be said that there is nothing good about it. Nie Shangyun made his own decisions and caused the entire army of our army to command Shanghai Station to be wiped out. He is punishable. The chairman is very angry about this. He is your teacher, and he has a teacher-student friendship. But in the face of such a big issue of right and wrong, the chairman and I are very satisfied with your attitude, brother Nai Jian."

The air conditioner in the room has started to run, and the temperature has dropped a lot compared to before, but Tang Zong's brow was glistening with oily sweat, and he couldn't stop nodding. "Everything depends on Brother Yu Nong's thoughtfulness!"

"But there is one thing, I hope Brother Nai Jian can still tell you the truth!" Dai Li changed the subject, his eyes became sharper.

"Why did Nie Shangyun go to Shanghai alone? What is the significance to him of winning the Shanghai station? Also, why did he fall in Nanjing back then? These questions are not only for me, but also for the Chairman. Interested to know!"

Tang Zong's face suddenly turned pale. When he met the old man, although the old man didn't mention it, he already hinted that he should report the real situation to Dai Li. According to Tang Zong's family, it is obvious that the old man's trust in him has been greatly reduced.Although he knew that Dai Li would ask such a question, Tang Zong couldn't help but beat his heart.

"This", Tang Zong wiped off his sweat and looked up at Dai Li. "Nie Shangyun has a strong desire for power. Since the Guangdong-Guangdong incident was idled, he has been unwilling to do so. Maybe he thinks that winning the Shanghai station is an important weight to get back to the front. He didn't mention this to me. Ji Yunqing and Lin Xiaotang were assassinated one after another, and after the situation in Shanghai deteriorated further, I felt something was wrong, but he was already in Shanghai at that time, which is why I came to Brother Yunong immediately."

Dai Li snorted coldly, and said in his heart: "You are afraid of being implicated by him!" But he said: "Brother Nai Jian, please continue!"

"Nie Shangyun is kind to me, and he is also an old subordinate of the chairman. I have been with him all these years, and I dare not speak out about many things. I only learned about the things in Nanjing after the fact, so I hurriedly I rushed over and planned to organize a rescue, which was also ordered by the commissioner. As for the reason, I heard him talk about it afterwards, saying that it was delayed by some personal matters, so he fell into the city. And the chairman of the guard who went to the rescue Gendarmerie, it is indeed beyond my ability to mobilize!"

Dai Li nodded, "The Battle of Nanjing happened suddenly, and many things were lost. Now if you want to investigate again, you can't even get small clues. Most of the gendarmes who participated in the rescue were already in the process of rescue. Killed in battle, the rest of the people all died strangely in less than a month. Brother Nai Jian, how do you ask me to prove that everything you said is true?"

Tang Zong's knees gave way, and he almost fell to his knees on the ground, his body fighting like chaff.

Dai Li sighed. He knew what Tang Zong said was true. Tang Zong had always hoped to use Nie Shangyun's contacts and qualifications to help him expand his power, but he never expected that Nie Shangyun would take advantage of his idea , firmly control him in his hands in order to achieve his ulterior purpose.From this point of view, Tang Zong was completely taken advantage of by Nie Shangyun.

"I heard that during the breakout from Nanjing that day, they also encountered Lin Xiaotang and two foreigners?"

Like a drowning man, Tang Zong suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, "That's right, I met Lin Xiaotang and two foreigners. The two foreigners, one is Chinese from the US embassy, ​​named Hong Chawei; the other One was a reporter who was carrying some photos and materials of the massacre. Last year, the reporter was killed by stray bullets while conducting field interviews. Nie Shangyun later explained to the committee that he was collecting Japanese atrocities If the evidence is provided to the United Kingdom and the United States, it may be able to exchange for more assistance. As for the matter of the military police, he explained that he encountered it by accident during the breakout.”

Tang Zong spoke quickly, as if he wanted to pour out all he knew. "There is also Lin Xiaotang. At that time, Lin Xiaotang and several gendarmes stayed behind to stop the enemy. The gendarmes were all martyred. Lin Xiaotang was rescued by the reinforcements who arrived in time, but was seriously injured. Later, after Nie Shangyun arrived in Jiangbei, he told me to pay attention to this person, and said This person is a talent, if he can't be used by me, get rid of him!"

"There's nothing else, tell me something I don't know!" Dai Li became impatient.

Tang Zong was thinking hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "There is an important clue, which I discovered by accident. After Nie Shangyun evacuated from Nanjing, he started looking for someone, until he went to Shanghai a few days ago, I've been looking for it, but to no avail!"

Dai Li straightened up immediately, "Who is it?"

"My surname is Zhang, my first name is Zhang Ergou, and I really don't know anything about the others!"

……

In the yard, the commissioning and installation of the air-conditioning system had come to an end, and the special agent in charge of monitoring the installation workers was dozing off in the shade under the trees.The man in the short shirt raised his head from the workers' surroundings, took off a small earphone, and whispered to a worker, "The effect is good. Remember to replace the sound insulation cotton during maintenance. The noise is still a bit loud. Record it all and send it back to the secret contact point in Shanghai by radio, understand?"

The workers are a little worried, "Every time they work here, they will send someone to watch them. After the end, they will also conduct an anti-eavesdropping inspection on the equipment. Will they find what we have placed?"

The man in the short shirt smiled and said softly: "The boss invented these things, even if they put them in front of them, they don't know what they are. Besides, our equipment is connected with the air conditioner. As long as the air conditioner is running, the equipment can work. Don't worry! Just do your part!"

The spy on the side was awakened by the noise of the air conditioner, and walked over in a nonchalant manner, "What's the matter, have you installed it?"

The short man stood up, led the spy to the control room, taught the spy how to use it, and quietly stuffed a stack of banknotes into his pocket.

The spy frowned, "They are all my brothers, do you need them?"

The man in the short shirt smiled, "Brother, this is a new gadget. There must be a trial run period after it is just installed. During this period, please keep an eye on it. If there is any problem, please let us know immediately. Boss Dai is afraid of the heat. , we can't let the old man say that our stationmaster Lin's things are not easy to use. If there is a problem, you can let us know in advance, so we can quickly repair it, so as not to delay Boss Dai's use!"

The special agent smiled, "Okay, you're really thoughtful! Don't worry, I'm in charge. If there's anything, I'll let you know in advance!"

Thank you very much, the man in the short shirt.
