Quartermasters can also fight the devils

At one o'clock in the morning, Zhang Wenwu drove back to the investigation office exhausted. He had taken a lot of photos today and he needed to develop them immediately and ask Li Bailing to identify them.

After returning to the dormitory, Zhang Wenwu was embarrassed. He didn't know who to ask to develop the photos, and he didn't have the skills to do it. So, he could only wash and go to bed.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Zhang Wenwu woke up from his sleep with a start, turned around to look at his watch, then quickly got up, washed up, and rushed to Director Dai's office with the film.

When Boss Dai heard that Zhang Wenwu had taken the photos so quickly, he was pleasantly surprised, and he quickly called the head of the technical department to come over and asked them to develop the photos immediately, and to make several more sets as backup. He also requested that the photos be of the highest confidentiality level and that the photos must be developed personally by the head of the technical department, without the involvement of anyone else.

After the technical section chief hurriedly took the film to be developed, Zhang Wenwu took out his notebook and told the address and house number of Hong Qiangwei's villa yesterday. Director Dai also asked his secretary to quickly check the information to see which bastard dared to harbor a Japanese spy.

More than ten minutes later, the secretary came in with the house information. After the secretary put the information on the desk, Boss Dai asked the secretary to go out. After picking up the document and taking the first look at it, Boss Dai's eyes never left the document. Although he tried to remain calm on the surface, his heart was already filled with rage.

Zhang Wenwu looked at Boss Dai's constipated expression and wondered, "Does Boss Dai have constipation?" I haven't heard of that. I just heard that he's quite lustful.

This time, Boss Dai did not put the information on his desk. Instead, he handed it to Zhang Wenwu and said, "Wenwu, you can also take a look. We can discuss it after you finish reading it."

Zhang Wenwu took the document and looked at it. What the hell, are they kidding? Are they kidding? This is too outrageous. Are you sure you are right? The document showed that the owner of this small villa was Dai Liangbi, a member of the Central Standing Committee of the National Government and a member of the National Government.

Zhang Wenwu did not dare to speak. This person was not light. He was a member of the Tongmenghui and a veteran of the Kuomintang. Who dared to talk nonsense about these two identities? His own son was adopted by Chiang Kai-shek. This was a happy thing. Now Zhang Wenwu was a little bit hoping that the woman in the photo was not Hong Qiangwei. If Li Boling said that the woman in the photo was Hong Qiangwei, how could he investigate and arrest her in that house? Only Chiang Kai-shek would make the decision to arrest someone in the villa.

In the corridor outside Boss Dai's office, Zhang Wenwu lit a cigarette and smoked silently. He needed to wait here for the photos to be developed and go find Li Bailing to identify them as soon as possible. At the same time, he was thinking about what to do next.

After waiting in the corridor for about an hour, the head of the technical department came over with a file bag in his hand, all sweaty. Zhang Wenwu looked at him without saying a word, and the two of them went to meet Boss Dai together.

After the technical section chief left the office, Boss Dai opened the file bag, took out the photo, took a look at it, and stood up in shock and said, "Is it her? Liao Yaquan?"

Zhang Wenwu was puzzled after hearing what Boss Dai said. It seemed that Director Dai knew this woman. Liao Yaquan? Was this the woman's name? Was this another name of Hong Qiangwei? Or was it another person?

"Wenwu, take the photo and go to the prison of the Investigation Department to find Li Bailing to identify whether the woman in the photo is the Red Rose he mentioned." Boss Dai handed the file bag to Zhang Wenwu with a grim face.

When Zhang Wenwu saw that Boss Dai looked unhappy and did not take the initiative to tell him about Liao Yaquan, he suppressed his curiosity and walked towards the prison with the file bag. He was more concerned about whether this woman was the Japanese spy Hong Qiangwei.

In the interrogation room, Zhang Wenwu showed the photos to Li Bailing for identification. As soon as Li Bailing saw the woman in the photo, he immediately identified her as the dancer Hong Qiangwei he had met. When Zhang Wenwu heard Li Bailing's identification, he was overjoyed, as he had finally found the person.

In Boss Dai's office, after Zhang Wenwu told Boss Dai that Li Boling had identified the woman in the photo as Hong Qiangwei, Zhang Wenwu stopped talking and stood in the office waiting for Director Dai's instructions. There was no other way. The people involved were too difficult to deal with. One was a member of the Central Committee and a veteran of the Kuomintang, and the other was the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. In front of these two people, he was not even a small fry.

"Wenwu, you must be wondering why I called this Red Rose Liao Yaquan just now." Boss Dai motioned Zhang Wenwu to sit down, and then said slowly.

Zhang Wenwu did not say anything either. He felt that Boss Dai had already decided to tell him about this matter when he went to see Li Bailing. He just needed to listen.

Sure enough, after Zhang Wenwu sat down on the sofa, Boss Dai began to explain the reason to Zhang Wenwu.

It turned out that Liao Yaquan entered Tangshan Guesthouse as a waitress in 1932. Because of her hard-working and cautious character in the guesthouse, she won a good reputation in the guesthouse at that time. In addition, she was very beautiful and could be gentle and flattering in front of men. She soon attracted the attention of Dai Liangbi, a member of the Central Committee. Dai Liangbi often called Liao Yaquan to his villa, wanting to "discuss life" with Liao Yaquan, but Liao Yaquan was very smart and never let Dai Liangbi succeed, but hung him tightly. Later, Liao Yaquan used her beauty to seduce the secretary of the commander of the Wusongkou Fortress at that time, and successfully obtained the firepower configuration and troop deployment military map of the Wusongkou Fortress. The Japanese fleet later used the military intelligence provided by Liao Yaquan to successfully suppress the firepower of the fortress with fierce and accurate naval guns in the subsequent battle against Shanghai. Dozens of advanced Krupp cannons were blown into scrap copper and iron, and the fortress was occupied by the Japanese army.

At that time, the person in charge also thought that the Japanese must have obtained the military intelligence of the fortress, and asked Boss Dai to conduct a thorough investigation. After screening, Boss Dai locked in Liao Yaquan, but due to a mistake, the secretary of the fortress commander was killed. He no longer had an important witness, so he could only ask someone to monitor Liao Yaquan.

After discovering that she was under surveillance, Liao Yaquan immediately threw herself into Dai Liangbi's arms and sought his protection. Under Dai Liangbi's protection, she was able to continue working in the Tangshan Guesthouse. Later, Liao Yaquan found the right opportunity, got rid of the people who were monitoring her, and successfully escaped from the guesthouse.

Zhang Wenwu was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Boss Dai and felt that Boss Dai had not finished speaking. There must be something else. Suddenly, an idea flashed through Zhang Wenwu's mind. With Boss Dai's lustful personality, he would not have "discussed life" with Liao Yaquan. That would be interesting. Well, this is very likely.

"Wenwu, what are your plans for the future?" Boss Dai changed the subject directly. He wanted to know what Zhang Wenwu's plans were for the future. He had to hear Zhang Wenwu's plans. This matter must be investigated. If the Japanese spies were not caught, there would be no explanation to Chiang Kai-shek. But if the investigation continued, a comprehensive plan had to be made. Otherwise, the resistance would be very great.

Zhang Wenwu also understood what Boss Dai meant. He thought for a moment and then said, "Director Dai, we must arrest Liao Yaquan for interrogation. Now we have Li Bailing, the key witness. He can identify Liao Yaquan. I believe no one can stop us from arresting Liao Yaquan. However, I think arresting Liao Yaquan now may alert the traitor and Liao Yaquan's superiors. We currently have no clues about Liao Yaquan's superiors."

Boss Dai heard Zhang Wenwu's thoughts. Zhang Wenwu wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop. If he could really catch all of them, it would only bring great benefits to his investigation department. This would be a great opportunity to greatly increase the weight of his investigation department in Chiang Kai-shek's heart. Fortune is sought in danger, so do it.

"Wenwu, tell me about your plan." Boss Dai looked at Zhang Wenwu seriously. He had already made up his mind that this matter must be done in a grand manner. If he failed to seize this opportunity, the expansion of his investigation department would be a long way off.

Zhang Wenwu organized his thoughts and said to Boss Dai, "I think that now we have the fact that Hong Qiangwei is Liao Yaquan, and we have also deduced that Zhou Heng is the Japanese spy. However, we have no proof of their connection. At most, we can prove that Liao Yaquan is a Japanese spy. Then, we might as well use intelligence to force them to contact their superiors. Only when they are mobilized can we find an opportunity to find out where their superiors are and who they are. Then we can catch them all in one fell swoop and solve the problem once and for all."

Boss Dai understood Zhang Wenwu's plan, which was to "lure the snake out of its hole". This plan seemed good at the moment, so he quickly asked, "What kind of intelligence can make them all move?"

"Commander Dai, we have ready-made chips in our hands." Zhang Wenwu reminded Director Dai with a smile.

Boss Dai was stunned and immediately thought of what Zhang Wenwu meant. Yes, the two Japanese arrested by the Investigation Department were ready-made "bait".

Seeing Boss Dai's changing expression, Zhang Wenwu knew that Boss Dai had understood what he was talking about, so he said with a smile: "Boss Dai, the Japanese must be very curious about who the two Japanese spies we caught are, and whether Wu Xingliang, who they care about most, is alive or dead. We might as well make a piece of intelligence and let the insider pass the information to the Japanese, so that we can follow the clues to find out the real culprit."
