In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Japanese and Li Zhiqun, Luo Xingchao's investigation at the secret service headquarters was carried out in detail, and almost every suspected person was investigated, even if it was someone close to Li Zhiqun.

"Director, I have investigated all the personnel who stayed at the headquarters on the night of the 29th, but because of the heavy rain that night, many people simply did not go home and rested at the headquarters for the night, so there are a lot of personnel.

The heavy rain also wiped out all traces, and the patrolmen and guards took shelter from the rain in the house all night, and after asking for a long time, they found nothing. ”

After listening to this, Li Zhiqun also had a headache, he was not only annoyed by everything, but also injured on his body, and he really didn't have the energy to investigate this matter in person, so he could only hand it over to Luo Xingchao to deal with, if Luo Xingchao's ability could not find out the relevant clues, it can be seen that this work is indeed very difficult.

He thought for a moment, and then said: "Then put the work on the infirmary, and see if anyone has been going to the infirmary often recently, if you want to complete the poisoning procedure, you need to do a lot of preparation." ”

Luo Xingchao also agreed, but he still spread his hands and said: "I also thought of this problem, but it is a little difficult to really investigate, because of the conflict with Ding Mo during this time, we have too many wounded, and the work of the infirmary is very busy, and many people go to deal with and change dressings every day, and the workload of investigation is too great."

Also, we found that the door lock of Chen Zhaohua's consultation room was not damaged, and no valuable traces were found in the room, which shows that the person who started the attack is a veteran, not only has the preparation work been sufficient, but also has a certain level in dealing with the traces, I judge that it is not an ordinary Qinggang child, but an agent who has received a certain amount of training, so I screened the personnel who stayed at the headquarters that night, but most of the personnel of our agent headquarters are Zhongtong personnel, and they may have received training in this area. I have circled thirty-three such people.

Among these 33 people, there are nine people who may have come into contact with the information about Deputy Director Wang's arrest, all of whom are members of the interrogation department and the action team, but they all have mutual witnesses that night, and they did not have time to go to the infirmary to poison them. ”

Although Luo Xingchao did not deliberately blame others according to Ning Zhiheng's instructions, after such a long period of investigation, there must always be an effect, there is no achievement at all, and it is easy to arouse suspicion, so he still selected a few suspects to make a difference to Li Zhi.

Li Zhiqun listened very carefully, he nodded, it can be seen from these analyses that Luo Xingchao is very attentive, the workload of this screening work is not small, and it is already good to be able to do this.

He pondered for a moment and then said: "If it is to go to the infirmary to poison it, it will not take long, it is estimated that it will only take twenty minutes to be enough, and the inner ghost only needs to find an excuse to go out for a while to complete this work, so it is almost meaningless to prove this piece to each other, or to focus on these nine people and continue to track down." ”

Luo Xingchao had no choice but to nod and agree, and then asked: "Director, when I talked to Director Zhang today, he said that on the night of the 29th, he was on duty alone in the office, handling some official business, but no one could prove his whereabouts for him throughout the night. ”

Li Zhiqun nodded when he heard this, and said: "It's true, he had some gains in those two days, so he was very confident and wanted to carry out a plan, and then the plan was also handed over to me, but it was a bit difficult, and it was not easy to implement, plus the current situation of our secret service headquarters, it was really difficult to take care of it, I planned to carry out this plan again after a while, so it has been shelved, why, do you suspect that it is Zhang Jingyao?" ”

"No, no, the director misunderstood, I don't suspect Director Zhang, it's just some necessary procedures during the investigation, to ask you for verification, speaking of which, my judgment of myself, and whether the direction of the investigation is correct, I am not very sure, I can only give it a try, the director knows it, don't be misled by my judgment."

Li Zhiqun laughed when he heard this, he was very satisfied with Luo Xingchao's caution, I have to say that this person is careful in his work, he is skeptical of everything, and he does not blindly overestimate his own strength, there are really not many agents with such a clear understanding.

He nodded and said: "Zhang Jingyao's history is very clear, he is a veteran agent of the Central Union, it stands to reason that the relationship between the Central Union and the Military Command has always been incompatible, he is an undercover agent of the Military Intelligence Section, this possibility is really not large, but there is nothing in case, you can't take special care of him, the place that should be investigated still has to be investigated, I said a long time ago, this ghost should be the person next to me, so no one can be an exception!" ”

"Understood, I'll do more work and see if I can get something out." Luo Xingchao immediately nodded in agreement.

Li Zhiqun sighed, and then said: "Xingchao, you don't have to put too much pressure on you, the so-called planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, this time the difficulty is indeed a bit big, it is understandable, the Shanghai Intelligence Department is not an ordinary intelligence department, this time I finally understood their methods, if I don't make a move, it will be a thunderous blow, and I and the secret service headquarters will be destroyed, I am really afraid, if I don't dig out this inner ghost, I can't sleep well!" ”

Luo Xingchao hurriedly nodded and said, "I understand, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to complete the screening and dig out this inner ghost!" ”

Li Zhiqun nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked with a somewhat hesitant face: "Xingchao, did Zhang Jingyao explain anything to you?" ”

Luo Xingchao was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and hurriedly replied: "No, except for his whereabouts that night, he didn't say anything, as for his materials and plan of action, he was tight-lipped and I knew it was a little inconvenient, so I didn't ask, so I came to you to verify it." ”

Luo Xingchao's words made Li Zhiqun a little embarrassed, he waved his hand and explained: "Xingchao, I definitely don't mean that, in fact, this secret service headquarters shouldn't hide anything from you, if you have any questions, you can ask directly, don't have scruples."

I mainly want to tell you that this plan involves a group of captured officers of the National Salvation Army, and I promised you before that all the personnel of the military command will be transferred to your first place, but this time there is something special, these officers I plan to transfer to the action brigade to train and reorganize our action force, this time the shortcomings of the action brigade are fully revealed, what is the use of relying on more people? It's not that they're being beaten up, and we will strengthen their combat effectiveness in the future, so that they can really come in handy. ”

Luo Xingchao had already known the reason for the incident from Zhang Jingyao before, and said that he would not care about it at the moment, and the two of them chatted briefly for a few more words, and Luo Xingchao got up to say goodbye and leave.

Although the results of this report did not satisfy Li Zhiqun, he still saw Luo Xingchao's seriousness and hard work, and was glad that he did not choose the wrong candidate.

That night, Luo Xingchao met with Ning Zhiheng in the contact point, reported on the investigation in the past few days, and focused on the plan that Zhang Jingyao said.

"Seat, Zhang Jingyao and Li Zhiqun are very nervous about this plan, I originally had the opportunity to check it, but in the end I still felt that something was wrong, so I gave up this opportunity."

Ning Zhiheng heard Luo Xingchao describe the situation in detail at that time, and immediately agreed with his decision, and said: "You have done a very good job, you must not directly contact the intelligence, we are going to obtain information, the premise is that we must ensure our own safety, you are in the devil's cave, surrounded by the eyes of the enemy, if you are not careful, you will be implicated, in short, there is no big mistake in being careful!" ”

Ning Zhiheng is now more and more satisfied with Luo Xingchao's performance, I have to say that in the long-term work behind the enemy, Luo Xingchao has grown very fast, and his ability can be completely independent, which makes Ning Zhiheng very relieved.

He then asked: "Zhang Jingyao mentioned that this plan was formulated for the New Fourth Army?" This is a little strange, he is interrogating officers of the National Salvation Army, how can he involve the New Fourth Army? ”

Luo Xingchao also shook his head and said: "This is indeed very strange, but the two armies of the National Salvation Army and the New Fourth Army are entrenched in southern Jiangsu at the same time, and there are inevitably places where they intersect with each other. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Ning Zhiheng with some hesitation, he didn't know the attitude of this boss towards the New Fourth Army.

Within the Kuomintang Party, the attitude towards the Red Party is not uniform; some people think that everyone is Chinese, and in the face of foreign enemies, they should unanimously distinguish between each other, but there are still some diehards who think that the Red Party is a problem to the heart, and sooner or later it must be eliminated, Luo Xingchao himself certainly belongs to the former type, but he is not sure which faction Ning Zhiheng belongs to?

Ning Zhiheng looked at Luo Xingchao's expression, and immediately smiled: "The New Fourth Army and the National Salvation Army are both teams of the War of Resistance, and now the two parties are cooperating to resist foreign enemies, and they should not distinguish between each other, and now they have difficulties, we can't stand idly by, we still have to track it down, find out the information, report them in time, and avoid losses." ”

Luo Xingchao's face was relieved when he heard this, even in this special period, the Kuomintang still had quite scruples about the Red Party, and many people did not dare to show their closeness to the Red Party, which was mainly affected by the political atmosphere within the Kuomintang after the White Terror.

He hurriedly said: "Then I will find out the specific information content as soon as possible and report back to you!" ”
