1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

If there hadn't been Huanghun's emergency rescue, not only would Wang Tianmu and others have died or been captured, but Shen Sui would also have ended up in nothing.

"Okay, let me put it this way first. Regarding the future of you and the organization, I have a plan, Xiao Shen."

"The future? You...you say."

"This time, that guy is dead, the plan has failed, and the Northeast Renaissance Society is definitely finished... But reconstruction is definitely necessary. So, do you have any ideas about becoming the new head of the Northeast region?"

"Why? ? ?"

This sudden and unimaginable suggestion frightened Shen Zui so much that he screamed, and attracted the attention of the policemen who were taking pictures and examining Wang Tianmu's body not far away.

"Huanghun" had no choice but to quickly pinch Shen Zui's wound to force him to scream again, pretending that it was an accidental touch during the inspection, so that he would look away.

"Calm down, you still need to learn something."

"Yeah...sorry."

Shen Zui quickly apologized, then timidly said, "But...but, me? I'll be the person in charge?"

"Well, the organization has decided. It's up to you... ahem... I have some connections with Director Dai. I can't guarantee you'll be in charge of the entire Northeast region, but at least you'll be the stationmaster of Shenyang Station."

"I... I'm too young... and I've been in Shanghai for a long time..."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Youth is our asset. The country is in need of manpower right now. With the heavy casualties this time, Director Dai will definitely need new recruits."

Fujiwara Kanezane deceived Shen Zui just like he deceived his boss in his previous life:

"As for working in Shanghai for a long time, that's not a problem either. Once you've arranged your work in Northeast China, working in Shanghai will actually be an advantage. At least you won't be easily suspected."

"But...Comrade Wu, can't you?" "Me?"

Someone shook his head:

"I have a lot on my plate. I need to focus on military affairs, so I don't have time to manage an intelligence agency. You seem quite smart and have a sense of self-discipline. I think you should be the one!"

"Bottom line?"

"I can see you're very unhappy with that guy's plan to massacre the people. Coincidentally, I am too. As an intelligence officer, being too strict with yourself will definitely be detrimental to your work, but being too strict will definitely harm the overall interests."

"Is that so..."

After hearing this, Shen Zui seemed to be lost in thought.

It must be right that such a powerful predecessor has a negative view on the massacre of civilians.

So, I was right!

Wang Tianmu's plan was destined to fail!

The two chatted for a few more sentences and confirmed their future plans. Shen Zui was just about to take this opportunity to ask this senior, who didn't even know his real name and appearance, for some advice, but he heard a burst of unfamiliar footsteps from the outside again, so he had to stop the conversation.

Soon, a thin policeman with an eye patch on his left eye and an empty left hand, who looked very old, walked in with several subordinates, lifted the cordon, glanced around, and without wasting a second, quickly got to work:

"Where are the people? Where are the people who are arresting them?"

"Captain Chen! Over here!"

A policeman who was investigating the body quickly ran over and reported the basic situation to "Lao Guang" very respectfully. He also pointed in the direction of Shen Zui and the other man and said a few words.

Chief Inspector Chen didn't immediately go looking for "Huanghun" and Shenzui Culture. Instead, he carefully examined the wounds on the body and the details of the place of death. He stood there for at least three minutes before walking over.

"Hello, comrade. My name is Chen Bo, captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Shenyang Public Security Bureau. My police number is... How do you address me, comrade?"

"Hello, Captain Chen. My name is Wu Jiu. I'm a special agent in the Ministry of Public Security's office and an officer at the Shenyang Public Security Bureau. My police ID is..."

Fujiwara Kanezane naturally reported a bunch of data that couldn't be more true, but Chen Bo's eyes were still sharp and full of suspicion:

"Oh? Then it seems I'm a little out of touch. I go to the Ministry of Public Security and the Public Security Bureau every day, but I've never seen you."

"That's normal, Comrade Chen Bo. I've been out in the field a lot, carrying out special missions. I basically only take orders from Minister Ma. Even the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't know much about me..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane had already seen that the "Sherlock Holmes" he had promoted was doubting his identity and motives, but he was not nervous at all. He smiled and slowly explained:

"...I just sent Minister Ma to Taiwan a while ago. If you don't believe me, you can verify this with the Ministry of Public Security or her in person in the form of an official letter."

"Oh...I will..."

Although "Wu Jiu" looked normal and there was no flaw in his words, the vigilance in Chen Bo's eyes did not disappear, but became even more intense.

In their line of work, the more perfect and flawless something is, the more suspicious it becomes.

Chen Bo, whose original name was Lu Maohuan and codenamed "Bulu", was born in Boao, Hainan in 1909. He joined the Communist Party in 26 and was forced into exile in Malaysia in 28. During a Malayan Communist Party operation to eliminate traitors, he lost his left eye and left hand in an accidental bomb explosion. He was expelled from the country in 1932.

Because he had been working overseas for a long time and not many people knew him, the organization arranged for him to work in the Northeast in the first batch. Relying on his strong criminal investigation sense, he captured one Kuomintang spy after another and was promoted rapidly.

Historically, this person arrived in Yan'an in 1936 and served as the head of the reconnaissance section, the head of the intelligence section, and the security minister. He led the team to solve major cases such as the "Hanzhong Training Class" aimed at assassinating the central leadership. He was called "Yan'an's Sherlock Holmes" by the instructors.

This man lived until after the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, due to complicated reasons such as his involvement in the political struggle between Ye and Luo and his disagreement with the "Red Sherlock Holmes" Tan Zhengwen, he was labeled a spy and counter-revolutionary just three years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He died in 1972 after repeated tortures.

But throughout his life, he never leaked the party's secrets, never mentioned his spy work, and even his wife and children did not write any memoirs.

(Speaking of which, the Chen case is quite sad. Tan himself was doing a great job in assassination and counter-revolution in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, but turned around and accused Chen of "recruiting old KMT forces" and "killing comrades at will." On this basis, he directly arrested Chen and a large number of people, even including pregnant women and babies.)

(Tan subsequently tortured Chen into confessing, but Chen refused to confess. Ultimately, the case could not be concluded, so the First Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security was forced to intervene in the investigation. After examining case after case, the final conclusion was: "There is no basis, it is not true, and it should be denied.")

The case was then referred to Public Security Minister Luo, who declared, "This case must not be compromised," and instructed, "The failure to identify a Central Bureau of Investigation agent demonstrates the incompetence of our interrogation work." Without any evidence, he sentenced Chen to ten years.

Such a person would naturally not believe Fujiwara Kanezane's lies, and even suspected that the policeman named "Wu Jiu" was a Kuomintang spy.

Because this guy not only doesn't have the slightest "Communist Party member" vibe, but he also doesn't smell much of a "policeman" either.

As for Shen Zui, Chen Bo also had doubts.

Although there is indeed a large Queen's Company shopping mall nearby, it's not surprising that a Queen's Company employee would appear, but what was this guy doing in this small alley?

Being chased by someone?

But why didn't you call for help?

Although Shen Zui's temperament was very much like that of an idealistic young man, and he might even be a hidden Communist Party member like Chen Bo, Chen Bo still listed him as a suspect.

When two suspicious guys get together, the level of suspicion increases several times.

There's no way. Chen Bo used to work as an underground spy and now he's doing criminal investigation, so he instinctively doubts everything.

Chen Moss had no idea that someone's mischief had caused some subtle deviations between his guess and the facts, so he just continued his "interrogation":

"Then, Comrade Wu Jiu, can we discuss some of the case details?" "Yes, please."

"How did you..."

Huanghun repeated the lies he had just told the policemen to Chen Bo, but this time, the other party's reaction was not as "relaxed" as those policemen.

"...Why are you searching this area?"

"Oh, as a police officer, if you notice something unusual while passing by, shouldn't you investigate? I think that's a police officer's responsibility."

"Then why didn't you go to the explosion site?"

"Sir, I can tell right away that there must be a lot of people there. What am I going to do there? Am I going to cause more trouble?"

"Ah...Ah Sir? Ass? Comrade, this is..."

"Yeah, it was just a joke, don't take it too seriously... Well, anyway, compared to rescuing the people who will definitely be rescued, I think it's more important to identify the suspicious individuals..."

Chen Bo's eyes were not big to begin with, and now they were even smaller when he squinted.

how to say?

Looking at this guy in front of you, you can clearly feel that he is very suspicious, but you just can't find any flaws, which makes him even more suspicious.

For example, this attack and murder case that happened in an alley.

Wu Jiu said that he discovered the militant after hearing the explosion, and then chased him in, encountered Shen Zui, and shot him dead in order to protect him.

The problem was that during his recent investigation, Chen Bo had discovered a series of footprints elsewhere in the alley, suggesting multiple people were moving together. Other traces at the scene didn't fully match Wu Jiu's description, and there seemed to be some suspicious areas that had been erased.

However, Chen Bo knew very well that this kind of problem was not a big deal. He could easily find a bunch of reasons to explain it, and it would definitely not be difficult for the guy in front of him.

"Footprints? Oh, those should have been left when I was checking if the surrounding area was safe. I was in a hurry to save people and didn't think too much about it."

"Aren't you a police officer? Don't you even know this basic requirement?"

"First, I'm not a professional police officer. I'm just using the police guise to perform other tasks. You can verify this with Minister Ma. Second, the professional level of our country's current police force still has a lot of room for improvement..."

As he spoke, Fujiwara Kanezane pointed to the mess of footprints on the ground:

"Look, our colleagues didn't pay much attention when they came in. We really need to strengthen training in this area. I will give Minister Ma some suggestions."

Look, it's like this again.

It's obviously suspicious, but you can't find any evidence. Chen Bo secretly resents himself.

If he were in Malaysia or Shanghai, faced with such a suspicious situation, he would have ordered Wu Jiu arrested and used a massive memory restoration technique on him, refusing to believe that he would not tell the truth.

But in Northeast China, a region occupied by the Japanese invaders, he couldn't do that. With the exception of a few organizations, the Republic strictly regulates "torture." It's not that torture is completely forbidden, but approval reports must reach the highest levels of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's said that this often requires special approval from President Ma or even Wang.

This certainly protected some exposed comrades from physical pain to a certain extent, but it also made other comrades who had successfully infiltrated feel restricted in their work.

Especially those like Chen Bo who were transferred directly from overseas, had never been to Nanchang, and had a rather "rough" and "lax" work style. When they first arrived, they received a lot of punishments.

As a result, this in turn forces them to frantically improve their skills, learn advanced technologies, and hope to solve cases through legitimate means, thereby improving their overall professional quality.

In this situation, how dare you torture and extract confessions, or frame someone?

The Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to your door in a few minutes and make you experience all the methods you use on others.

Oh, the one in charge of this supervision is the "Disciplinary Review Committee." That kid from North Korea is a well-known "cold-faced devil" in the entire Northeast. He doesn't give face to anyone except Fujiwara no Kanezane's orders.

Chen Bo didn't think he had the face to make Park Chung-hee turn a blind eye or to see King Kyeon-sil get special approval, so even though he was sure that there was definitely something wrong with this "Wu Jiu", he couldn't use force.

Can I just watch secretly and file a case after I catch something?

No, this guy doesn't seem to be someone who is easy to get along with. It seems that the only way to make a breakthrough is from the young man next to him.

But that young man doesn't seem to be an important person...

Chen Bo was thinking about his future plans, but Fujiwara Kanezane was getting impatient. "Hey, Mr. Chen, are you done asking questions? I'm very busy! We're all from the same system. I'm not angry, but you can't keep treating me like a criminal, right?"

Shen Zui, who was standing by, became more and more impressed by "Huanghun".

The psychological quality is too strong.

Lying is as natural as breathing.

If I didn't know his background, I would have thought he was from the Northeast!

We have to study hard...

"Uh...I..."

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the alley again. A group of policemen, wearing the same uniform, but with different embroidery on the shoulder and collar patches, came over. After being intercepted, the leading man showed his ID:

"We're from the National Security Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. My name is Zhang Jiazhou. I heard you arrested a suspected militant?"

536 People with conscience do not necessarily vote for the Communist Party

"...militants?"

During the arrest operation just now, several members of the Renaissance Society, whose psychological defenses had collapsed, had confessed, claiming that their leader, Wang Tianmu, was nearby. That was why Zhang Jiazhou hurried over to check on the situation.

As a result, he seemed to have been beaten to death? "Yes, Comrade Zhang."

Chen Bo saluted, pulled Zhang Jiazhou aside, away from "Wu Jiu" and others, and whispered the general course of events and the suspicious aspects without reservation.

It cannot be said that everyone in Northeast China knows that Zhang Jiazhou is a Communist Party member, but at least the Communist Party members working here are basically aware of it. So even though Chen Bo has never seen him, he developed the most basic trust in him as soon as he heard his name.

To be honest, everyone tacitly regarded Zhang Jiazhou as a target - with this guy attracting the Japanese's attention in the open, it would be easier for others to hide!

Zhang Jiazhou knew this very well, but he had no complaints.

In his words, we are all revolutionaries, so whoever dies is dead. Dying for the revolution, dying for the future of China, what is the point of dying?

"...So you suspect he's a KMT spy?"

"Well, we are all ordinary police officers. According to regulations, we cannot launch an investigation into him without clear evidence and permission from the Ministry of Public Security, so..."

"3

So we can only ask the National Security Bureau to take action...

After listening to Chen Bo's introduction, Zhang Jiazhou also felt that "Wu Jiu" was acting suspiciously. After a major attack, he really couldn't let go of any clues.

So he decided to report the matter to his immediate superior, Kenji Doihara, and after obtaining his approval, he "invited" Wu Jiu to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for interrogation and investigation.

Compared with ordinary police, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has more ways to make people talk.
