According to Yuan Ye's judgment, Hu Deping would not surrender. Under the pretext of understanding the specific circumstances of the operation so that he could report to Iwai Mansion, he asked Li Qunshi to bring two lists, one of which was the list of arrested persons, and the other was the list of surrendered persons.
Yuan Ye took a look and found Hu Deping's name on the list of arrested persons. He had fallen into the hands of the enemy, but he was not found on the list of surrendered persons.
It seems that Hu Deping did not surrender. Yuan Ye asked:
"What are you going to do with those who haven't surrendered?"
"Those diehards must of course be shot, Section Chief Nanyun said it will be carried out tomorrow.
But there is one person that Director Xiang attaches great importance to, his name is Hu Deping, he is a leader of the intelligence team under him, and he is said to be very capable. During the arrest, he was seriously injured because of his resistance, and is now in the hospital for surgery. Director Xiang plans to go to Huahai Hospital tomorrow morning to persuade him to surrender. If persuasion fails, he will be taken back to No. 76 and shot. "
Yuan Ye's mind moved. Xiang Shoushi is going to Huahai Hospital tomorrow. This is very important information. Can he take this opportunity to kill Xiang Shoushi?
But Yuan Ye quickly rejected the idea, as it was very risky to do so and he didn't know who else knew this information.
If this information is extremely confidential and only Li Qunshi and he know it, once Xiang Shoushi is killed on the road or in the hospital tomorrow, then there is no doubt that he was the one who did it, and he will be completely exposed.
This might be another trap set by Nanyun Masako, who deliberately let Li Qunshi tell him. We can only believe it.
This risk must not be taken!
Yuan Ye nodded and said:
“It is the right thing to do. Since they are talented people, we should make use of them.
If they cannot be used by us and are stubborn, they must not be allowed to stay and must be dealt with decisively. "
He was still very sad. Including Hu Deping, there were more than 20 people who had not surrendered and were going to die at the hands of the enemy. They were all loyal people of the Party and the country, and he did not have the ability to rescue them all.
But he had a bold idea for Hu Deping. Hu Deping was in hospital, and many people must have been sent to watch him to prevent him from being rescued. In addition, he was seriously injured and had difficulty walking, so he was not sure he could rescue him.
And letting him know that Hu Deping was in the hospital could also be a trap set by Masako Nanyun.
Since this risk cannot be taken, can we find a way to make Hu Deping pretend to surrender, which will not only save his life but also allow him to play a greater role.
As a loyal man, I believe he will obey the arrangements of the organization. In this way, I will have planted a nail at No. 76. With him by Xiang Shoushi's side, I can understand Xiang Shoushi's movements, which will help me complete the task assigned to him by the headquarters to sanction Xiang Shoushi.
Now the key is how to pass this order to Hu Deping. What he needs to do is to find a way to enter Hu Deping's ward.
And it has to be tonight, because Xiang Shoushi will come to the hospital tomorrow to persuade Hu Deping to surrender, and Hu Deping can take advantage of the situation and agree to Xiang Shoushi.
If the message cannot be delivered tonight, Hu Deping will definitely refuse to report to Xiang Shoushi, and then his fate will be to be taken back to No. 76 and shot.
Yuan Ye decided to go to Huahai Hospital tonight and see what happens then.
After dinner, Nanyun Masako and Xiang Shoushi continued to interrogate Zhang Liang and four others. Yuan Ye also went to the interrogation room to take a look. These four people were beaten beyond recognition. In fact, the matter was already very clear.
Zhang Liang has also confessed that he did it to avenge Yuan Shikai and his brother. He did not use his own men, but instead bribed three gangsters with a large sum of money, giving them a deposit first. After the action was completed, when they came to collect the remaining reward, he killed them to silence them, so that no one would know that he did it.
His plan was to kill Yuan Shikai first and then Su Xiwu.
Yuan Ye asked him whether Zhang Xiaotian knew about this. Zhang Liang said he didn't know and he did it without telling his master. If his master knew, he would definitely not agree.
Yuan Ye knew through his ability to eavesdrop that he was not lying, but when he thought about it, it made sense that Zhang Xiaotian didn't need to do this.
He originally planned to torture Zhang Liang into confessing that Zhang Xiaotian was the mastermind behind the incident, so that Su Xiwu and Zhang Xiaotian would have a conflict and kill each other.
But he thought that this was too deliberate. Su Xiwu would not believe it and would question his motives instead, which would be disadvantageous to him, so he let it go.
Xiang Shoushi kept asking whether Zhang Liang had any connection with the Military Control Commission, and whether the Shanghai Special Service Group had asked him to do it?
Zhang Liang flatly denied it, saying that he had no idea about the Shanghai Special Service Group, and the same went for the other three people.
Even though Masako Nanyun was unwilling to accept the result, she could see that these people should have nothing to do with the Shanghai Special Service Group. Even if they were tortured further, they would only confess under torture and it would be meaningless.
This is a simple case of hired murder.
Several people returned to Li Qunshi's office, and Li Qunshi asked Yuan Ye what to do with those people?
Yuan Ye sneered and said, since the evidence is conclusive, there is nothing to say, the execution will be carried out tomorrow morning.
Li Qunshi agreed verbally, but he was cautious. His master Ji Yunqing had a good relationship with Zhang Xiaotian, who was Zhang Liang's master. He and Zhang Xiaotian also had some friendship. If he didn't tell Zhang Xiaotian about this, and his apprentice died in No. 76, what would Zhang Xiaotian think? He couldn't explain it.
It would be better to tell Zhang Xiaotian that no matter whether he could save his apprentice in the end, at least he owed him a favor.
Of course, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. If he wanted to save his apprentice, he could only go to Yuan Shikai and Su Xiwu.
Li Qunshi knew that it was useless to just look for Su Xiwu, because Su Xiwu listened to Yuan Shikai very much and basically did whatever he said.
As soon as Yuan Ye left, Li Qunshi immediately called Zhang Xiaotian and told him the situation. In fact, Zhang Xiaotian already knew that Zhang Liang had been arrested. His wife came to him and asked him to save Zhang Liang. He also promised to smooth things over tomorrow.
But I didn't expect that he would be shot tomorrow morning. I was still shocked. It seems that I have to go to the city government to find Mayor Su early tomorrow morning and ask him to show mercy and give his apprentice a chance to live.
He believed that Su Xiwu would still give him face. He was also a well-known figure in Shanghai. As long as he could convince Su Xiwu, Yuan Shikai would naturally release the person. He would not disobey the mayor.
He expressed his gratitude to Li Qunshi and asked him to start later tomorrow, until he returned from the city government.
Li Qunshi said it didn't matter if it was a little late, but it couldn't be too late. He didn't dare to offend Yuan Shikai, as this man had a strong background. He told Zhang Xiaotian that the key was to find Yuan Shikai, and just finding Su Xiwu might not work.
Zhang Xiaotian lived a secluded life, so naturally he didn't know much about Yuan Shikai. He just heard some rumors but didn't take them seriously.
Now after hearing what Li Qunshi said, he was also very curious, so he asked Li Qunshi about the real situation of Yuan Shikai. Only then did he realize that he had underestimated Yuan Shikai.
This person's background is indeed very strong. He is not only a favorite of Su Xiwu, who also listens to him, but also has a Japanese backer behind him. The Japanese Consul General Iwai Yuichi trusts him very much. He is also the boyfriend of Tokugawa Mitsuko, the eldest daughter of the top Japanese aristocratic Tokugawa family, and a guest of honor of General Kagezawa. General Kagezawa is not only Tokugawa Mitsuko's cousin, but also the most important figure stationed in Shanghai by the Japanese government. Even Mr. Wang needs his support and protection, otherwise he will not be able to move forward.
Zhang Xiaotian thanked Li Qunshi for his reminder. He certainly knew what he should do.
