Chapter 1402
Su Yu was still on business, so he took his leave after a hasty lunch.Liu Shang used chopsticks to slowly dig the rice grains in the bowl, but he was too preoccupied and had no appetite.When he went north, he was mentally prepared for the work difficulties he might encounter after arriving in Shandong, but he really didn't expect the situation here to be more complicated than he imagined.Haihan's rule in the Shandong occupied area is far less stable than those colonies in Fuguangzhe, and the relationship with Daming is much more tense, similar to the situation in the south where the government and Haihan maintain a high degree of tacit understanding. This side basically does not exist, and the uninterrupted confrontation is the main theme here.
What troubles Liu Shang is not the big or small conflicts between Haihan and Daming, but the current self-identity.He knows that he has broken away from Daming's intelligence agency, and he can only serve Haihan now and in the future, but his past identity is always lingering like a maggot, and there is a possibility of ruining his reputation at any time .Even if he wanted to help Hai Han deal with Daming's colleagues, he still had to risk his identity being exposed.This time the anonymous report letter was indeed written on impulse, and before the final result came out, it would be difficult for him to get better from his uneasy mood.
Originally, I thought that I came to Shandong just to be a propaganda officer and deal with my own people every day, but I didn't expect that I would still have to go back to my old job after coming here.Thinking of this episode, Liu Shang couldn't help showing a wry smile, thinking that after the Majiazhuang incident, he really had to put his curiosity to rest, and if he meddled like this time, he would kill himself sooner or later.
After lunch, Liu Shang originally wanted to take a stroll around the island, but he soon discovered that, as Su Yu said, most of the island was blocked from traffic due to the epidemic, and only a few specific people were allowed to pass. Those whose working relationship has been transferred from here are obviously not included in this list.After Liu Shang was stopped twice by the guards wearing masks, he lost interest in walking around and could only return to his residence resentfully.But it was working hours at this time, there was no one in the camp, and it was only around zero outside, so he could only huddle in the room and feel bored.
Liu Shangxin thought that if he knew that the holiday was so difficult, he should apply for a separate errand, which is better than staying in the house and getting moldy.Since there is nothing to do, I might as well go back to Majiazhuang tomorrow to see what's going on there.
But Liu Shang may be born to be a hard worker, just when he was about to fall asleep in the dormitory, someone came to the door again.
After Liu Shang was awakened by the knock on the door, he got up and opened the door to see that the person who came was not a stranger, but Tan Wei, the propaganda officer of the garrison.Before Liu Shang was transferred to Majiazhuang, he was handing over work with Tan Wei.He has a good impression of this man, although he is a soldier, he is not rude, and he is quite polite in his dealings with others. He should have been a literati before joining the army.
"I heard that Brother Liu came back from Majiazhuang, so he came to bother you. I hope Brother Liu is not to blame!" After seeing Liu Shang, Tan Wei cupped his hands and greeted him.
Tan Wei's tone and actions were obviously more like a literati than a soldier, Liu Shang politely let him into the room while exchanging greetings.Liu Shang knew that the other party should not be so free, so he came to chat with him before it was dark. Besides, the relationship between the two parties was indeed not that close.As for how the other party knew that he was back, it was probably Su Yu or someone else who provided him with information.
Liu Shang waited for Tan Wei to get to the point, but the other party didn't seem to intend to talk about serious matters at all, and just casually asked him about his work and life after he went to Majiazhuang.Although Liu Shang had doubts in his heart, he still patiently responded to Tan Wei's question, but he didn't understand why the other party took the time to chat with him. Earlier, Su Yu said that the cadres and officials on the island were too busy. Could it be that Tan Wei is so special? , have nothing to do?
Just when Liu Shang was going to get some hot water and come back to make two cups of tea, Tan Wei got up and said goodbye. After Liu Shang sent him away, he still didn't understand the purpose of Tan Wei's visit.He thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only scratch his head and secretly said, "Could it be that this person really just came to see me?"
When all possibilities are ruled out, the most unlikely reason is often the truth.After Tan Wei left the dormitory where Liu Shang lived, he went straight back to an office in the command headquarters to report: "The humble officer has already visited, and Director Liu talks naturally, there is nothing unusual."
"What was he doing when you went?"
"It seems... to be sleeping."
"Understood, let's go about your business." Qian Tiandun nodded, indicating that Tan Wei's task had been completed.Tan Wei paid a military salute, then turned and left.
It was Qian Tiandun's direct order to let Qin Wei go to see Liu Shang. He would know the movements of "little people" like Liu Shang. The information learned in the telegram sent.The reason why I sent someone to take a look at Liu Shang was because of the sequelae caused by that report letter.
Chen Yixin and Zeng Xiaowen had already ruled out Liu Shang as a suspect, but Gong Shiqi, a security officer who happened to return to Majiazhuang from another place today, after learning what had happened, urged Chen Yixin to identify every suspect as soon as possible. whereabouts.
"The people in Jinyiwei are well disguised, and it is not so easy to see through their identities. What's more, they hide in the immigration camp and rarely contact the outside world. This letter clearly divides Ma Bo and the others into different identities. It shows that the person who wrote the letter was very clear about the identity of Jin Yiwei. How did he do it? Beizhi believes that the biggest possibility is that the person who wrote the letter is actually an accomplice or a fellow. But since these people have been wiped out, No one took the initiative to claim the letter, and the writer only reported a few of them, which means that the writer is not in this group, and for some reason only the identities of these five people can be confirmed."
"Those who have been in frequent contact with these five people recently can be listed as suspects. The person who wrote the letter was able to see through the true identities of these people, and probably also thought that we would be tracked down by us afterwards. I think he will try to leave the occupied area as soon as possible, because He may not be able to explain why he was able to see through the identity of Jin Yiwei. Among the existing suspects, if anyone has disappeared or is about to disappear, it is most likely the letter writer."
Chen Yixin believed that Gong Shiqi's interpretation was very reasonable, unless the writer of the letter was also an intelligence officer of the Ming Dynasty, it was really impossible to explain when, where and why these people's identities were discovered.Neither the Ministry of Security nor the military could sit back and watch this situation, so naturally they had to try to find this person.Although Chen Yixin didn't want the security department to intervene, he had to admit that an experienced professional like Gong Shiqi could grasp the crux of the problem faster and more accurately.
So Chen Yixin ordered Zeng Xiaowen and Gong Shiqi to implement it separately, and even Liu Shang, who had been ruled out of suspicion before, was included in the investigation again.For this reason, Chen Yixin sent a telegram back to Zhifu Island, asking Qian Tiandun to arrange a co-investigation as soon as possible to confirm whether Liu Shang had any abnormal behavior.After Qian Tiandun received the telegram, he didn't dare to be careless, so he called Tan Wei, who was more familiar with Liu Shang, and asked him to check on Liu Shang's condition.
If Liu Shang knew that there was such a big disturbance after he left Majiazhuang, then he might really be so guilty that he wanted to escape. After all, this report letter played a very important role in the whole arrest process, and he also There is really no way to give a reasonable explanation for his behavior.But by accident, Chen Yixin arranged for him to go back to Zhifu Island to avoid the arrest, so he didn't know whether his report letter had any effect. Although he had been worried about it, there was no follow-up news. Before the news came, he definitely would not have chosen to run away.
Because of this, when Tan Wei went to the dormitory, he saw Liu Shang in a relatively relaxed state, showing no sign of fleeing with guilt.Qian Tiandun didn't know much about the situation in Majiazhuang, so he didn't think much about it after hearing Tan Wei's report, so he sent the result to Majiazhuang by telegram.
"The person who wrote the report letter, shouldn't be so relieved to sleep at this time?" After Chen Yixin read the contents of the telegram, he showed it to Zeng Xiaowen and Gong Shiqi.Both of them had been trained in secrecy, and their loyalty to Haihan was unquestionable, so Chen Yixin didn't intend to hide anything from them.
Gong Shiqi refused to let it go: "I would like to ask one more question, have you ever used this person's handwriting to compare with the report letter?"
Zeng Xiaowen replied: "That's right, the handwriting is of course different, but if it's really a spy, it's not surprising that they would use some means to change the handwriting."
It is really not difficult to intentionally change the handwriting, as long as you practice a few more fonts, or even change handwriting, you can achieve this effect.The inconsistency of the handwriting does not completely rule out the suspicion of Liu Shang.
Chen Yixin frowned and said, "Don't forget, Liu Shang is a member of the Youth League. I don't need to remind you of what the Youth League does. If spies get in here, then the Ministry of Security will bear the responsibility." But it’s big! I think this matter will stop here, and continue to investigate other suspicious people!”
Gong Shiqi's face changed slightly, and he didn't answer immediately.The Youth League is indeed a very special existence in Haihan's bureaucratic system. All young civil and military officials who want to develop their official careers must first join the Youth League to show their loyalty, and then become one of the officials who passed the review when they were promoted. necessary condition.As for officials who can hold positions in the Youth League, there is no need to question their reliability.At least so far, the Ministry of Security has never caught a spy among officials serving in the Youth League.
Of course, like Liu Shang's experience of becoming an official in Haihan, it is at least a rare special situation in ten years, and it is not entirely an omission in the work of the Ministry of Security.And those of them who are far away in Shandong don't know how Liu Shang gained trust step by step, so it is difficult to question his qualifications.To put it bluntly, there is no actual evidence for their current suspicion. It was only because Liu Shang had frequent contact with these reported persons in the past few days that he listed them as suspects.However, if it is only used as evidence to investigate an official affiliated with the Youth League, even if it involves intelligence security, the reason is still not sufficient.
Gong Shiqi had never even met Liu Shang, so naturally he couldn't say what he thought of him. It was purely out of professional sensitivity that he felt that this clue needed to be pursued.But since Chen Yixin had spoken, he would naturally no longer insist on going his own way against the wishes of his boss.
As for Zeng Xiaowen, he is not a member of the security department, he is just following Chen Yixin's orders.He is the gun in Chen Yixin's hand, and he can shoot wherever he points. Since Chen Yixin wants to terminate the investigation, he naturally has no objection.
However, at this juncture, a new statement was sent to Chen Yixin.In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Yixin did not personally participate in the interrogation work, but all the personnel's statements were recorded by the military, so they still had to be sent here for him to review.
After Chen Yixin read the transcript, his expression became a little weird and he asked, "Gong Shiqi, are you going back to Zhifu Island next?"
Gong Shiqi didn't understand what he meant, so he nodded and said, "The humble job is to go back to Minister Hao."
"Then when you get to the island, check out Liu Shang's affairs by the way." Chen Yixin thought for a while and added: "But don't go too far, listen to what he has to say first."
Gong Shiqi reacted quickly, and immediately responded, "Could it be that there is new evidence?"
Chen Yixin nodded and said: "According to Ma Bo's statement, he gave Liu Shang a sum of money yesterday. As for the purpose, Ma Bo said that he hoped to use this method to bribe Liu Shang so that he would not intervene in the affairs of the immigration camp."
"So Ma Bo thinks that Liu Shang already knew, or might have noticed something wrong in the immigration camp, so he tried to bribe him?" Gong Shiqi is worthy of being an elite in the Ministry of Security, and he immediately thought of the key point. .
Without waiting for Chen Yixin to respond, Gong Shiqi continued to ask, "Can't I... go and see this Ma Bo?"
Of course, Chen Yixin understood that Gong Shiqi's purpose was not just to take a look. Since the military did not allow the Ministry of Security to participate in this arrest operation and subsequent interrogation, Gong Shiqi could only make a request very tactfully.Although Chen Yixin was not very happy to let the Ministry of Security intervene in this matter, he had to admit that Gong Shiqi's experience in anti-espionage detection was obviously beyond the reach of the military. He had never even met the parties involved in this case. The retelling has already deliberated a lot of problems.If Gong Shiqi was not allowed to interrogate Ma Bo for the first instance, Hao Wanqing would not be convinced afterwards.
Chen Yixin quickly made a decision to ask Zeng Xiaowen to accompany Gong Shiqi to the trial of Ma Bo.If there is indeed something suspicious in it, we will investigate after Gong Shiqi returns to Zhifu Island.It's just that in this way, it is tantamount to opening an opening for the Ministry of Security and allowing it to participate.Chen Yixin looked at the back of Gong Shiqi leaving, and couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.
