Views:

The man's eyes dimmed again, and he smoked a cigarette from the cigarette case, took out a box of matches from his pocket, and started smoking himself. He expelled a puff of smoke and asked, "How did you get in?"

Zhang Fengshan said: "It would be good if I knew the reason. They said they arrested some Communists from Yan'an and arrested all the people who disembarked that day. I was unlucky that day and happened to take that steamer home."

The man said in an injustice: "This spy is acting nonsense, and the people don't have any sense of security at all."

Zhang Fengshan asked, "What about you? Why were they caught in?" The man took a cigarette and said, "To tell you the truth, I am a traffic officer of the underground party Wencheng County Committee, named Gao Wenyuan, driving on the old street. I took a cover of a'Wenyuan Chinese Medicine Clinic'. That day, I was ordered to meet with the special commissioner from Yan'an. I don’t know where the enemy got the information and blocked the pier. I mixed into the parade led by Ye Mingyi and entered the pier. , Was preparing to connect, and Comrade Old Hong found that something was wrong and fired a warning. Later Comrade Wang Xiaohu and I rushed out in the chaos, but Comrade Hong died. This morning, the enemy hung his head on the wall. We still had it. There was a comrade named Fang Ming who was selling cigarettes on the dock that day and was also caught by the enemy. Now I don’t know the life or death. I asked Comrade Wang Xiaohu to contact the guerrillas in Fengshan to prepare for rescue. As for myself, I surrendered to the enemy. Only in this way can we get in touch with comrades from Yan'an and tell him the situation."

Zhang Fengshan fell into contemplation once again. According to his judgment, this man did not seem to be lying, but why did he tell himself this? Since the hawker named Fang Ming who sells cigarettes is also an underground party member, and he has already connected with himself, how could he send this Gao Wenyuan to the organization again? This is not in line with the common sense of underground work. In this case, is Gao Wenyuan a traitor? He came to himself to make a horrible trick, but how could he know the code word? Could it be that Fang Ming has rebelled, but why didn't the enemy arrange for him to come? Zhang Fengshan thought that he must find out, so he asked: "Don't you know the person from Yan'an?"

"The higher-level telegram only mentioned the connector code word, but didn't say where he was from or what he looked like."

Zhang Fengshan smiled and said, "You have told me so much, aren't you afraid that I will inform them?"

Gao Wenyuan said: "Don't be afraid, because you won't."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because I think you are like a comrade from Yan'an."

"Interesting, what do you think I look like? Is it my appearance or body? You haven't seen this person, so you just make a guess?"

"When I see you, I feel kind and feel like ours."

Zhang Fengshan was shocked, but his face remained unchanged. He has been working underground for a long time, so that he has developed the habit of being calm and calm in the face of danger. In his opinion, this self-proclaimed Gao Wenyuan was eager to connect with him, but it made him more alert and suspicious. Zhang Fengshan laughed again, "I think you were knocked out by them and talked nonsense. How could I be the Communist Party? You Communists fight local tyrants and divide fields. My father is a rich man. If I were a Communist Party, then Isn't it against my father, and I want to knock him down?"

A surprised expression appeared on Gao Wenyuan's face, "Dare to ask your honorable name."

Zhang Fengshan said: "It's okay to tell you, my father's name is Zhang Fuhai."

Gao Wenyuan heard this and was so startled that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear. He looked up and down Zhang Fengshan and asked, "Are you the young master of Chairman Zhang?"

Zhang Fengshan is not surprised at all, because his father Zhang Fuhai is highly respected in Wencheng, and there must be many people who know him, so he said, "Yes, why, do you also know my father?"

Gao Wenyuan said: "It's not just a acquaintance, but my father is still my benefactor. Xiuying and I recognize him as godfather. We are also godfathers. You should call me brother."

Zhang Fengshan feels that there is a play, no matter whether what he said is true or not, but this is an opportunity to make good use of. "Brother Gao, why didn't I know this? My father never mentioned it to me."

Gao Wenyuan explained: "Brother Fengshan, I moved from the countryside to the city when you went to Japan to study, so we didn't meet each other." Then he met himself with Sun Xiuying, Chen Baoan made trouble from it, how Zhang Fuhai's righteousness The husband and wife recognized Zhang Fuhai as godfather and said one by one.

Zhang Fengshan understood what was going on. He sighed deliberately and said, "I didn't expect our brothers to meet here."

Gao Wenyuan said: "Brother Fengshan, I will take the news out and let my godfather come to protect you."

Zhang Fengshan said: "Brother Gao, you can't protect yourself from the mud bodhisattva crossing the river, how can you send a message?"

Gao Wenyuan realized that he had missed his mouth. He immediately explained: "If Xiuying and the child come to visit the prison, I will tell her about you and ask her to find her godfather."

"Sister-in-law know you were caught by them?"

"I don't know yet, but I will know sooner or later."

"I'm afraid they will kill you."

"Not yet, because I haven't explained anything, they still want to dig something out of my mouth."

Ye Mingyi fainted on the street. Some pedestrians who passed by recognized him, sent him to Tongren Hospital in time, and notified Wencheng Middle School. The hospital organized rescue, but he was declared dead due to heart failure.

Yang Sicheng rushed to the hospital on behalf of the old principal to deal with the funeral. Even he was surprised that a big man who was still alive yesterday, how to say he left

The news of Ye Mingyi’s death quickly spread throughout Wencheng. There was a lot of discussion about this, and many people questioned it. He led a student demonstration yesterday. He was killed on the street today. He must have been murdered. The black hand behind it is self-evident. It is the Kuomintang reactionaries.

Under social pressure, Wencheng Middle School organized people from all walks of life to set up the Ye Mingyi Funeral Committee. The committee immediately started two aspects of work: one is to quickly find out the cause of Ye Mingyi's death and to announce it to the society in time; the other is to deal with the aftermath.

At midnight, Song Tiejun's office was brightly lit.

Ma Biao was leaning forward and reporting to him: "Chairman, Ye Mingyi's death caused a lot of noise."

Song Tiejun gave an "Oh" and then asked, "What did you hear?"

Ma Biao said: "There is a lot of discussion from the outside world, and the spearhead is directed at our county party headquarters."

Song Tiejun was immersed in the identification materials retrieved from Nanjing. He raised his head and said: "All dirty water is splashed on us these days. Splash it on us. Anyway, the reputation of our county party department is very stinky, so I don't care. How smelly this time. On behalf of me tomorrow, you will visit the relatives of the deceased and send a wreath in the name of the county party headquarters."

Ma Biao agreed. At first, he suspected that Song Tiejun did not do it by himself. Now, seeing him say this, he thought that Ye Mingyi's death was really not the right time, and he even made the county party department infamous when he was dying.

After reading the material, Song Tiejun frowned. Among the 10 arrested persons, except for Zhang Fengshan's resume in Japan, which could not be ascertained, the rest were found out. In this case, Song Tiejun’s greatest suspicion was Zhou Jin, first because Fang Ming was the first to strike up a conversation with him; second, he was studying at the Northwest Army School, which was very close to Yan'an; but the identification materials from the headquarters were not. He was ruled out of suspicion. There was no flaw in Zhang Fengshan’s interrogation recording. He sang Japanese songs with accurate pronunciation, which would be impossible if he hadn’t stayed in Japan or studied Japanese. The other eight people were either visiting relatives or doing business, and they all proved that they could be completely ruled out. This was consistent with Song Tiejun's judgment.

Seeing Song Tiejun unhappy, Ma Biao asked, "Is there any result?"

Song Tiejun threw the material to him, "Let's see for yourself!"

After reading it, Ma Biao said: "According to the headquarter's appraisal, it seems that only Zhang Fengshan is still suspected, and everyone else can clear it away."

Song Tiejun nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning you will ask Chen Youliang to release all these 9 people."

"What about Fengshan? The appraisal said that because of the Sino-Japanese war, the student roster of Nagasaki Business School in Japan could not be obtained, but it shouldn't be just shut down, right?"

Song Tiejun gently beat his head with his hand, and said, "I have a headache too."

"The president said that to deal with the Communist Party, he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let go of one. I don't think it would be better to execute secretly."

"It's not easy. This Zhang Fengshan is different from others. He is Zhang Fuhai's youngest son. Zhang Fuhai's eldest son is ill. The Zhang family counts on him to inherit incense and kills him without evidence. The Zhang family is not yet Looking for us desperately?"

"Now that China and Japan are fighting, we killed him without knowing it. The family thought he could not return in Japan or thought he died in the war. These days, it is easier for a dead person than trampling an ant to death."

"Now there are no secrets. I know you about this case, Chen Youliang knows, and Gao Wenyuan also knows. Had I not specifically asked, Chen Youliang would have reported to Zhang Fuhai for a reward. If you kill Zhang Fengshan, who Can you guarantee that he will seal it forever?"

Ma Biao suddenly burst into joy and said, "Chief Secretary, it is not difficult to find evidence. We will bring back the drug expert from the headquarters. Even a tough guy like Fang Ming, shouldn't we just confess to it?"

Song Tiejun shook his head and said: "The use of drugs for interrogation, the headquarters has special requirements: you must be a Communist Party member, and you must kill it after the trial, so that you can keep the secret, because you can't speak when you die. Yes. If Zhang Fengshan is not from Yan'an and we give him drugs, he will have sequelae, which means that our handle is in his hands. If he discloses to the media, the international community will strongly condemn us. of."

After a moment of silence, Song Tiejun asked: "You are going to Nanjing this time, what's going on there?"

Ma Biao said: "I heard that the National Government was going to move to Wuhan, and there was chaos everywhere."

Song Tiejun nodded again, and said thoughtfully: "No wonder the expert at the headquarters hurried away. Now Japan has assembled its navy, army and air forces and aggressively attacked Shanghai. Once the Battle of Songhu loses, Nanjing, which is only 300 kilometers away from Shanghai. It's at stake."

"Didn't the newspapers say that General Tang Shengzhi, commander of the Nanjing Garrison, has assembled 150,000 troops to defend Nanjing City to the death?"

"I hope so. Wencheng is very close to Nanjing. If Nanjing is lost, the Japanese will definitely come to Wencheng. Then we will have to resign."

Someone outside the door shouted "Report!"

Song Tiejun yelled "Come in!"

A plainclothes came in and said, "Report to the Chief Secretary, there is no movement on the'White Wolf' side."

After Gao Wenyuan joined the county party headquarters, Song Tiejun gave him a code name: "White Wolf" and was directly responsible to himself. And this code name is only known by Song Tiejun and Ma Biao of Party Affairs Investigation Division, and this is also for his safety. "Chief Ma, you go and bring him here."

Ma Biao and the plainclothes went out. They came to Zhang Fengshan's cell and said to Gao Wenyuan, who was already asleep, "Get up, interrogation!"

Zhang Fengshan also woke up. Seeing all this, he realized that the enemy was going to do something to Gao Wenyuan. He couldn't help but tears in his eyes. He choked and said, "Brother Gao, they wouldn't do anything to you, right?"

Gao Wenyuan pretended to say goodbye to Zhang Fengshan and said, "Brother, take care! If I can't come back alive, we'll see you in the next life. If you say hello to my godfather, you say I'm going ahead. And your sister-in-law. And nephew, please give it to you too."

Life and death is the most painful thing in life, Zhang Fengshan controlled the tears not to flow down. Now he really regretted not joining Gao Wenyuan, telling him that he was the person from Yan'an, and let him leave the world without regret. However, everything was too late, only to watch the enemy take him away from him.
