Li Shiqun walked out of the banquet hall and said to Zhao Jingdong: "According to the usual practice, you go back and call Pingchuan Jun and search for Jian Siyao, remember that there is no need to search too carefully, but you can't let him feel this." Take him to my office an hour later and I'll talk to him personally. ”

Zhao Jingdong didn't understand it, but he still replied respectfully: "My subordinates understand." ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jian Siyao was taken to Li Shiqun's office by Quan Kanhu and others, and Ni Xin was ordered to be present. Li Shiqun asked very calmly, "Mr. Jian, I heard that you are Guo Xuan's secretary?" When you come here to find me, there must be something, let's talk about it. ”

Jian Siyao replied: "I have already told Director Li that your secretary is called Pingchuan Xinye, right?" I made it very clear to him: I am here to surrender to Cheng so that I have the opportunity to continue to follow Guo Xuan. I used to be in the Fifth War Zone, and the reason why I joined the military command was because I admired Guo Xuan's talent and character, and this time I accompanied him to Shanghai for treatment. Now that Guo Xuan has taken refuge in you, my return to Chongqing is tantamount to throwing myself into the net, which is equivalent to sending a human head and giving Mao Renfeng a chance to kill and establish his authority, although Jian is not talented, he will not do such a stupid thing. ”

Li Shiqun smiled noncommittally, and Ni Xin asked: "I heard that Mao Renfeng and Guo Xuan have a disagreement from time to time, but is there such a thing?" However, Guo Xuan came to Shanghai for treatment, and he had to ask for instructions in advance and get permission from the chief before he could make the trip. Mao Renfeng was in charge of the daily affairs of the military commander, and he did not make it difficult for Guo Xuan. ”

"This gentleman is ......"

Ni Xin introduced himself: "Under Ni Xin, Director of Intelligence No. 76. ”

Jian Siyao sighed and replied, "You are Ni Xin?" Are you the one who blew up the production line of the Kangci Pharmaceutical Factory? Alas, it's all thanks to you. Director Li, you may not know: After the explosion of the Kangci Pharmaceutical Factory, Meng Xiaojie, the director of the factory, was imprisoned in the Xifeng Concentration Camp, and our Director Guo was also injured in that incident. Don't mention it, Director Ni, do you think Mao Renfeng agreed to Guo Xuan's coming to Shanghai for treatment so easily? We applied three times before and after, and then it was the Americans who spoke, and Mao Renfeng had to agree. ”

Ni Xin asked: "Mr. Jian, who is responsible for receiving you when you come to Shanghai this time?" ”

Jian Siyao snorted and said indignantly, "What reception?" Mao Renfeng said that the expansion of Shanghai Station is imminent, and there is no time to take care of anything else, so let us figure it out by ourselves. He also deliberately sent a secret telegram to the Shanghai station, Zhou Chengbin must not intervene, otherwise military law will be involved. To tell you the truth, the two Britons who cooperated with us in the hospital were both personal friends of an American expert in our Sino-US Special Technical Cooperation Office. Alas, if the Shanghai Station cooperates with the cover, why would you fall into the trap laid by Director Li? ”

Li Shiqun asked with great interest: "Is the Shanghai station going to be expanded?" How to expand the compilation, can Mr. Jian talk about it? ”

"I don't know very well, but I heard Director Guo say it once, saying that Zhou Chengbin is going to be the major general and director of the expanded Shanghai Branch, and I don't know the rest. Director Li, don't look at your hype in the newspapers and radio stations about Guo Xuan's initiative to surrender to Cheng and jointly build a Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle, etc., in fact, I know that Guo Xuan will never give up the principles and beliefs he adheres to lightly. ”

Li Shiqun replied bluntly: "Don't tell lies in front of real people, it's true, Mr. Jian must be interested in teaching me?" ”

Jian Siyao sighed: "Alas, things have come to this point, Chongqing can't go back, Director Li, you vigorously promote Guo Xuan's cooperation, and he can't wash it when he jumps into the Yellow River, which not only cuts off our retreat, but also ...... Director Li, you are also from the military command, there is no need to hide it, the military commander will never let Guo Xuan go, and I will also suffer from the pond fish, so I want to talk to Director Li about the conditions. ”

"Tell me about it."

"I can do my best to convince Guo Xuan to surrender, if he succeeds, the Japanese will definitely reuse him, and I will naturally continue to follow him to serve the Japanese Empire. But I can't guarantee that Guo Xuan will definitely know about current affairs, and Director Li knows about him. If things don't work out, Jian is only a shallow learner, and he can't help much, please Director Li, please give me a living allowance and let me go to a foreign country. In return, I will share what I know about military telecommunications. Jian Siyao's words were clear and clear, and it was obvious that they were the result of careful consideration.

Li Shiqun thought for a while and replied: "Mr. Jian, there is something I hope you will understand: Li has no right to make decisions about Guo Xuan on his own. I'm not afraid of your jokes, Shanghai is the world of the Japanese in the end, and Guo Xuan is a thorn in the side of General Heiichiro Ono, I need to ask for instructions. In this way, without further ado, it is now four o'clock in the afternoon, and at seven o'clock in the evening I will set up a banquet for Mr. Jian to wash the dust, and I will definitely give you an answer at that time. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for good news."

Li Shiqun ordered: "Someone-" Quan Kanhu, who was guarding outside the door, responded to the call: "Team leader Quan, arrange for Mr. Jian to rest, and you are not allowed to slack off." ”

Kwon Kan-hu understood and took Jian Siyao to a reception room and put him under house arrest temporarily.

Li Shiqun asked: "Ni Xin, what do you think of this set of rhetoric surnamed Jian?" ”

Ni Xin thought for a while and said, "It may be true." Guo Xuan is his commander, falling into our hands, Guo Xuan would rather die than give in, die in our hands, Mao Renfeng in order to win people's hearts, he will definitely be held accountable for his dereliction of duty, although he will not worry about his life, he will be imprisoned for several years, how can he not escape; Guo Xuan surrendered to Cheng, the surname Jian is his secretary, and the military commander is not allowed to kill him to correct the military law, so as to save some face? So it's a fact that he can't go back, and there are only two ways in front of him: to take refuge in us, or to die in the world. ”

Li Shiqun nodded and said: "What you said is right, this possibility is very high, but there is another possibility: Jian Siyao was ordered to surrender and kill Guo Xuan." ”

Ni Xin was taken aback and retorted: "Is this possible?" I'm not saying that Mao Renfeng can't do such a thing. Mao Renfeng lost Duan Wentao, an undercover agent, and if he wants to kill him, this is the only way. The subordinate means how could Jian Siyao accept such a task? Doesn't he understand that this is a point of no return? Or how could Mao Renfeng think that Jian Siyao would definitely be ordered to be such a 'dead soldier'? ”

Li Shiqun replied: "This surnamed Jane, if I remember correctly, is from Jiangshan, which means that he is a little fellow villager of Dai Li and Mao Renfeng, but this is not the most important reason." ”

"Please advise, Director."

Li Shiqun sighed: "Ni Xin, I have done so many years of emotional treatment work, and I know that the dead are the rarest, because for a normal person, life is the most precious. In addition to special reasons such as kindness and relatives, the biggest reason why a person can be willing to serve as a dead soldier is because of faith. ”

Ni Xin nodded and said, "Director, what you said makes sense, so what should we do?" Can you first pretend to agree to the conditions he proposed, and then interrogate him first, doesn't the surname Jian say that he is willing to reveal the information and information he knows about the military commander's telecommunications? ”

"You didn't get to the point, and I'm not saying that your advice is wrong. Guo Xuan fell into our hands, and it is impossible for the military commanders to not stop using his programming or knowing passwords, even if it causes confusion in telecommunications contacts, they can't take care of it, so the intelligence of the confession surnamed Jian is of little value. ”

Ni Xin said again: "Of course my subordinates understand this truth, what I mean is that you can use the information of the confession of the surname Jian to judge whether he is sincere or has other plans." ”

Li Shiqun shook his head and replied: "You only know one thing but you don't know the other, let me ask you: Compared with Guo Xuan and Jian Siyao, who is more valuable?" ”

Of course, Guo Xuan's value is great, and the two cannot be compared at all. If Guo Xuan surrenders, even if the military commander abandons the previous password, don't forget that many of the backup passwords enabled are also programmed according to Guo Xuan's theory, and he can easily decipher them. In addition, we can organize telecommunications personnel training courses and let Guo Xuan train senior telecommunications professionals for us. More importantly, Guo Xuan knew the entire telecommunications system of the military command, many of whom he cultivated single-handedly, and I suspect that he also received the true biography of Sir George, and he was well versed in it. And the "Programming and Deciphering of Light Secrets" obtained by General Kagezo is likely to be Xibei goods. If Japan, Britain and Japan and the United States declare war, the importance of this qiē is self-evident......"

Li Shiqun waved his hand to interrupt Ni Xin's tirade: "But this qiē has a premise: Guo Xuan must sincerely submit to the Japanese Empire, right?" Based on what you know about this man, how sure are we that we will be able to subdue him? ”

Ni Xin thought about it carefully and was a little frustrated: "Forgive my subordinates, the possibility is less than thirty percent." Jian Siyao's persuasion will not play a big role. ”

"You're right, so we need Mao Renfeng's help......"

Ni Xin suddenly realized: "Director, what do you mean is that if Jian Siyao is indeed a dead soldier sent by Mao Renfeng to exterminate his mouth, it can just play a role in helping us subdue Guo Xuan!" That's right, he is loyal to the military commander, and he has long been ready to die, but he never thought that Shangfeng would order his former cronies and subordinates to kill him, who can withstand such a blow? All thoughts are lost, broken jars are broken...... Quite possibly. In this way, we should hope that Jian Siyao is a dead soldier sent by Mao Renfeng, if this is the case, it will help us a lot. ”

"At seven o'clock in the evening, I personally came forward to entertain Jian Siyao, and then observed his reaction, and then you came forward to interrogate him, whether he was sincere or not, he always had to say something, as for how valuable it is, let's talk about it later. Tomorrow morning, you can arrange for him to meet Guo Xuan. Remember: You can't make a fake come true, so that Jian Siyao has the opportunity to put Guo Xuan to death, but you can't let him not have a chance to make a move, the proportion in this is difficult to grasp, you must be cautious. ”
