Chapter 770: Good Intentions
Shanghai Wang, Meng Shaoyuan!
Who would call it that?
But as soon as Meng Shaoyuan heard this voice and saw this person, he immediately stood up straight:
"Mr. Dai!"
Li!
Sitting on Meng Shaoyuan's chair was Dai Li!
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't believe it: "Mr. Dai, why did you come to Shanghai?" It's too dangerous. β
"What's at stake?" Dai Li was casual: "During the Battle of Songhu, I ran at both ends of Shanghai and Nanjing every day, and I was never afraid, but now I don't have an airplane on my head and no tank on the ground, am I scared?" β
"You're not afraid, I'm afraid." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "If you have three longs and two shorts here, no one can bear the responsibility." β
Dai Li smiled: "You Young Master Meng are bold, but there are times when you are afraid?" β
"Mr. Dai, if you are bold, you have to look at the time and the occasion." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "You gave me a surprise attack, so I thought something was wrong." Mr. Dai, when did you come? β
"From Wuhan." Dai Li said lightly: "The war in Wuhan is in full swing, but I still want to come to Shanghai to have a look." Inspector Gong has arrived in Shanghai, right? β
As soon as he heard "Mr. Gong", Meng Shaoyuan hesitated for a while: "Mr. Dai, you are in time, I am afraid that you did not receive the telegram jointly signed by me, District Mayor Zhou, and Secretary Cheng. β
"Oh, what's going on?"
Meng Shaoyuan immediately told the so-called "truth" discussed by the three of them in accordance with the agreement with Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming that day.
Dai Li was silent there, and said after a while: "Shaoyuan, the three of you are working together to deceive me." β
"Shao Yuan didn't dare, Mr. Gong was ...... by Zhitra"
"Okay, Shao Yuan, stop acting in front of me." Dai Kasa interrupted him: "What was favored by the Japanese and what was the Japanese name of Yanagawa, do you think I would believe it?" You guys, you have a little calculation in your heart, Mr. Gong was sent by me, he is a high-level Japanese sleeper spy, and the Shanghai organization that was almost killed collapsed, you want to help me cover up the faΓ§ade. β
Meng Shaoyuan didn't dare to interface.
"What is Mr. Gong's Japanese name?"
"I only know that his surname is Liu Chuan, and the specific name is not clear."
Dai Lisa let out an "oh".
There was silence in the office.
After a while, Dai Li spoke: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Gong, ah, Liu Chuan would use such a vicious means to make my three cadres almost martyred, careless." β
Well? How can there be something in the words?
"Mr. Gong's name is Gong Changlin, this should also be his pseudonym, he met me in the eighteenth year of the Republic of China, at that time I was just an inconspicuous little person, but he followed me loyally and helped me do a lot of things. Later, the Lixing Club was established, and he was my confidant and completed many difficult tasks. I've always trusted him. It's just that I didn't expect that he was really a spy for the Japanese. β
What does it mean to be "really"? Could it be that Dai Lian had already doubted him?
"Shao Yuan, do you know why I put him in Hong Kong?" Dai Li asked suddenly.
"Did Mr. Dai think there was something wrong with him before?" Meng Shaoyuan said cautiously: "Although Hong Kong is important, a talent like Gong Changlin should be sent to a place where he is needed more. For example, Shanghai, Wuhan and other places. β
"I originally wanted to send him to Shanghai." Dai Li said slowly: "At that time, I transferred him back to Nanjing from North China and was ready to entrust him with important tasks. When he arrived in Nanjing, I happened to accompany the chairman on an inspection tour in other places, and when he returned to Nanjing, he had already been back for three days. I think it was late at night, but I decided to go see him.
He lived in dormitories specially arranged for him, which were not allowed to be locked inside. I pushed the door in, and the range of movement was very small, but Gong Changlin jumped up from the bed violently, still holding a pistol in his hand, loaded. When I saw it clearly, I was embarrassed to put away the gun, saying that I was used to it when I was in North China. I smiled and encouraged him, but from that night on, I had a little doubt in my heart. Shao Yuan, do you know what the doubts are? β
"Something about it."
Meng Shaoyuan said: "If you have been working outside for a long time, you should indeed be vigilant, Mr. Dai, when Gong Changlin was in North China, he held a lot of official positions, right?" β
"The commissioner of the North China Special Office represents the Nanjing headquarters."
"Do you need to go to the front?"
"Not normally." Dai Lizhi said: "He is mainly responsible for formulating the action plan and supervising the implementation, and he does not need to do it himself." β
"That's right, then." Meng Shaoyuan groaned and said: "He is not a front-line intelligence officer, but he made a reaction that only a front-line intelligence officer can have, which shows that he is in a nervous mood all the time, and he is always vigilant about the people around him, even if he sleeps at night, he is not stable, what is he afraid of?" He's guarding his secrets!
This state has been formed for a long time and is difficult to change, which shows that deep down, he has always regarded himself as an intelligence officer who may be exposed at any time and face extreme danger. From a psychological and physiological point of view, even if he is really a front-line intelligence officer, once he returns home, when he is sure that he is safe, this reaction will still occur on the first night, and the intensity will be greatly reduced on the second night. The third night was when he was completely relaxed.
Nanjing was absolutely safe at that time, the copper wall was impregnable, he was in the headquarters again, and after three days, why couldn't he relax? What is he still wary of? β
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Dai Li nodded slightly: "But his reaction, judging from my experience, is not normal." β
Dai Li's material is genuine, and Agent Wang's reputation is genuine.
Just by relying on the reaction of one person, immediately becoming suspicious of the other person, this is not something that everyone can do.
"I have some doubts in my heart, but Gong Changlin has followed me for so long, dedicated, conscientious, and extremely capable of doing things, and has successfully completed the tasks assigned by his superiors many times. And this person has excellent moral character, a clear distinction between public and private, not greedy for money and lustful, and extremely self-disciplined, he can almost be regarded as a perfect person, how can I review such a perfect person? β
Dai Li said unhurriedly: "Public censorship is not good, I sent someone to investigate secretly, but to be honest, any investigation has no results, and even the person I sent out to investigate came back and said that he had never seen such a perfect person, and there was no flaw at all." The problem is, the more I say that, the more uneasy I feel in my heart. β
Meng Shaoyuan didn't have time to think about it and blurted out: "How can there be any flawless person, a person who is excessively perfect, it is very likely that he is disguised, he does not allow himself to make a mistake, and he does not allow himself to fall into the hands of others." Excessive perfection is to cover up, and his secret must never be exposed! β
"It's all just speculation." Dai Li sighed softly: "At that time, I thought about it for a long time, an elder, a person with no shortcomings, what can I do to him?" Punish him? Don't use him? What do other people think when they see it? Will people's hearts fluctuate because of this? I have to be cautious. Therefore, after careful consideration, I appointed him as the special commissioner of the Hong Kong Special Commissioner, and improved his remuneration to be on the same level as the senior webmaster.
After arriving in Hong Kong, he worked more seriously and responsibly, and even the stationmaster of the Hong Kong station, Elder Li, came back for a meeting, and repeatedly thanked me for sending such a great person. Several secret Japanese contact points were also cracked by him, and he caused great losses to Japan's forces in Hong Kong. β
Speaking of this, Dai Li sighed again: "I originally thought that I was thinking too much, and I blamed a good person." But when I flipped through the materials brought back by Lao Li, I found that Gong Changlin had not been in Hong Kong for half a year, and a Japanese named Kota Tahara suddenly rose to prominence, known as Japan's strongest killer, and became Gong Changlin's sworn enemy.
In our line of work, you can do nothing, but you have to be skeptical about everything. If you don't show up sooner or later, as soon as Gong Changlin arrives in Hong Kong, Japan's strongest killer will appear? Is it a coincidence, or is it deliberately arranged? Why did Kota Tahara regard Gong Changlin as an opponent? At that time, it was Lao Li who was actually in charge of Hong Kong work.
Gong Changlin is the commissioner, and the person who presides over the work is Lao Li, a person as perfect as Gong Changlin, who will definitely not fight for the credit of cracking the Japanese special contact point, but why does Kota Tahara know that Gong Changlin actually did it? Why treat him as a sworn enemy? But again, these are just my doubts. β
It's amazing.
Meng Shaoyuan sighed in his heart.
Many things that seem normal to others have become the target of his suspicion in Dai Li's eyes, and his suspicions are completely correct in hindsight.
"I always hoped that my suspicions were wrong, so this time when the Military Command Bureau was established and I sent inspectors to various important cities, the first thing that came to mind in Shanghai was Gong Changlin's name."
Dai Li glanced at Meng Shaoyuan: "No one can lie in front of Meng Shaoyuan, if it is true or false, sooner or later the prototype will appear in front of you, I will tell his truth from falsehood through you!" β
Meng Shaoyuan made a bitter face: "Mr. Dai, then you should give me a wake-up call, and almost wiped out our entire army." β
"This is my responsibility, I didn't expect Gong Changlin to be so impatient to design such a plan." Dai Li first blamed himself for a few words, and then said:
"But I can't warn you."
Meng Shaoyuan was stunned, and then understood the meaning of Dai Li's words.
A person who has repeatedly made military exploits and has no shortcomings, but is suspected and secretly investigated, and there is still no problem after the investigation, will the people involved in the investigation be chilled?
For example, Meng Shaoyuan, will he have such an idea:
No matter how much you do for Mr. Dai, the final result is that you can't get his trust!
