Chapter 1402 Repeated Testing

Su Yu still had official duties to attend to, so he hurriedly had lunch and left. Liu Shang used chopsticks to slowly dig the rice in the bowl, but he was too preoccupied and had no appetite. When he went north, he had no idea about the work he might encounter after arriving in Shandong.

I was mentally prepared for the difficulties, but I really didn’t expect that the situation here was more complicated than I imagined. Haihan’s rule in the occupied areas of Shandong was far less stable than the colonies in Fujian, Guangzhou and Zhejiang, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty

It is also much more tense. The high degree of tacit understanding between the government and Haihan similar to that in the south basically does not exist in Shandong. The uninterrupted confrontation overtly and covertly is the main theme here.

What troubles Liu Shang is not the conflicts between Haihan and Ming Dynasty, but his current self-identity. He knows that he has separated from Ming Dynasty's intelligence agency, and he will probably only serve Haihan now and in the future.

However, his past identity is always lingering like maggots attached to his bones, and there is a possibility that he will be ruined at any time. Even if he wants to help Haihan deal with Ming's colleagues, he still has to risk his identity being exposed.

Risk. Writing the anonymous report letter this time was indeed impulsive. Before the final result comes out, it will be difficult for his uneasy mood to get better.

I originally thought that I would just come to Shandong to be a propaganda officer and deal with my own people every day, but I didn't expect that after coming here, I would still have to go back to my old job. Thinking about this, Liu Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that Majiazhuang is about to happen.

After that, I really need to curb my curiosity. If I continue to be nosy like this time, I will get killed sooner or later.

After lunch, Liu Shang originally wanted to take a walk around the island, but he soon discovered that just as Su Yu said, most of the island had been blocked from traffic due to the epidemic, and only a few specific people were allowed to pass.

People like him who have been transferred out of this place due to their working relationship are obviously not among them. After Liu Shang was stopped twice by guards wearing masks, he lost interest in walking around and could only return to his residence in frustration. But at this time

It was working time, there was no one in the camp, and the temperature outside was only around zero, so he could only huddle inside and brood.

Liu Shangxin thought that if he had known that the holiday would be so difficult, he should have applied for a separate job. It was better than staying in the house and getting moldy. Since there was nothing to do, he might as well return to Majiazhuang tomorrow to see what the situation was like there.

.

But Liu Shang may have been born to be a hard worker. Just when he was about to fall asleep in his dormitory, someone else came to his door.

After Liu Shang was awakened by a knock on the door, he stood up and opened the door. He saw that the person who came was not a stranger, but Qin Wei, the propaganda officer of the garrison. Before Liu Shang was transferred to Majiazhuang, he was handing over work with Qin Wei.

He had a good impression of this person. Although he was a soldier, he was not rude and treated people with courtesy. He thought he must have been a scholar before joining the army.

"I heard that Brother Liu is back from Majiazhuang, so I'm here to bother you. I hope Brother Liu won't be surprised!" After seeing Liu Shang, Qin Wei raised his hands in greeting.

Qin Wei's tone and movements clearly sounded more like a scholar than a soldier. Liu Shang politely let him into the room while greeting him. Liu Shang knew that the other party was not so free, so he came over to chat with him before it got dark. Besides, the two sides

The relationship between the two is indeed not that close. The other party must have something serious to talk about when he came to visit him. As for how the other party knew that he was back, it was probably Su Yu or others who provided him with the information.

Liu Shang waited for Qin Wei to get to the point, but the other party seemed to have no intention of talking about business at all. He just casually asked him about his work and life after going to Majiazhuang. Although Liu Shang was suspicious, he still responded patiently to Qin Wei

The question is, I just don’t understand why the other party takes the time to come and chat with me. Su Yu said earlier that the officials on the island are too busy. Is Qin Wei so special that he has nothing to do?

Just when Liu Shang was about to get some hot water and come back to make two cups of tea, Qin Wei stood up and left. After Liu Shang sent him away, he still didn't understand what Qin Wei's purpose was. He thought for a long time.

I couldn't figure it out, so I could only scratch my head and think to myself: "Did this person really just come to see me?"

After all possibilities have been eliminated, the seemingly most unlikely reason often turns out to be the truth. After Qin Wei left the dormitory where Liu Shang lived, he went straight back to an office in the headquarters to resume his duties: "Humble job"

I have gone to see Mr. Liu and his conversation is natural and there is nothing unusual about him."

"What was he doing when you were there?"

"It seems... he is sleeping."

"I got it, go do your thing." Qian Tiandun nodded, indicating that Qin Wei's mission was completed. Qin Wei saluted with a military salute, then turned and left.

It was Qian Tiandun's direct order to let Qin Wei go see Liu Shang. He would learn about the movements of "little people" like Liu Shang, not from Su Yu or others to report them, but directly from Majiazhuang.

The information obtained from the telegram sent. The reason why people were sent to take a look at Liu Shang was because of the sequelae caused by the report letter.

Chen Yixin and Zeng Xiaowen had already excluded Liu Shang from being suspected, but after Gong Shiqi, a cadre of the security department who happened to return to Majiazhuang from other places today, learned what happened, he urged Chen Yixin to eliminate every suspect as soon as possible.

's whereabouts.

"The people of Jinyiwei are well disguised, so it is not easy to identify them. What's more, they are hiding in the immigration camp and have very little contact with the outside world. This letter clearly divides Mabo and several other people into different identities. It can be

This shows that the person who wrote the letter was very clear about Jin Yiwei's identity. How did he do it? Beizhi believes that the most likely possibility is that the person who wrote the letter is actually an accomplice or a member of the same group. But since these people have been wiped out,

No one took the initiative to claim the letter, and the writer only reported a few of them, which means that the writer was not among this group of people, and for some reason only the identities of these five people could be confirmed."

"Anyone who has had frequent contact with these five people recently can be classified as a suspect. The writer of the letter was able to identify the true identities of these people, and probably expected that we would track down them later. He believed that he would try to leave the occupied area as soon as possible, because

He may not be able to explain why he was able to see through Jin Yiwei's identity. Among the current suspects, if anyone has disappeared or is about to disappear, it is most likely the writer of the letter."

Chen Yixin believes that Gong Shiqi’s interpretation is very reasonable. Unless the letter writer is also a Ming intelligence officer, it is really impossible to explain when, where and why these people’s identities were revealed. Neither the Ministry of Security nor the military

Maybe if you sit back and watch this situation, you will naturally try to find this person. Although Chen Yixin is unwilling to let the security department intervene, he has to admit that experienced professionals like Gong Qiqi can indeed grasp the problem faster and more accurately.

key.

So Chen Yixin ordered Zeng Xiaowen and Gong Qiqi to implement it separately. Even Liu Shang, who had been ruled out as a suspect before, was once again included in the investigation. Chen Yixin sent a telegram back to Zhifu Island asking Qian Tian

Dun arranged an investigation as soon as possible to confirm whether Liu Shang had any abnormal behavior. Qian Tiandun did not dare to be careless after receiving the telegram, so he called Qin Wei, who was familiar with Liu Shang, and asked him to check on Liu Shang's condition.

If Liu Shang knew that such a big disturbance occurred after he left Majiazhuang, he might really feel guilty enough to run away. After all, this letter of report played an extremely crucial role in the entire arrest process, and he also

There was really no way to give a reasonable explanation for his behavior. But by some mistake, Chen Yixin arranged for him to return to Zhifu Island to avoid arrest, so he had no idea whether his report letter had any effect.

Although he has been worried about this, he will definitely not choose to flee until there is no follow-up news.

Because of this, when Qin Wei went to the dormitory, he saw Liu Shang in a relatively relaxed state, with no sign of running away due to guilt. Qian Tiandun didn't know much about the situation in Majiazhuang, so after listening to Qin Wei's words

Without thinking much after the report, the results were sent to Majiazhuang by telegram as they were.

"The person who wrote the report letter shouldn't be at ease enough to sleep at this time, right?" After Chen Yixin read the contents of the telegram, he showed it to Zeng Xiaowen and Gong Qiqi for review. Both of them had received confidentiality training and were very concerned about Haihan.

There is no doubt about their loyalty, so Chen Yixin has no intention of hiding anything from them.

Gong Shiqi refused to give up: "I would like to ask again, have you ever compared this person's handwriting with the report letter?"

Zeng Xiaowen responded: "Yes, I'm right. Of course the handwriting is different, but if it's really a spy, it's not surprising that he would use some means to change the handwriting."

It is indeed not difficult to intentionally change handwriting. As long as you practice a few more handwritings or even write with a different hand, you can achieve this effect. Inconsistency in handwriting does not completely rule out the suspicion of Liu Shang.

Chen Yixin rubbed his brows and said: "Don't forget, Liu Shang is a member of the Youth League. What does the Youth League do? I don't need to remind you. If there are spies sneaking in, then the Ministry of Security will bear the responsibility."

But that’s a big deal! I think this matter will end here and continue to investigate other suspicious persons!”

Gong Shiqi's expression changed slightly and he did not answer immediately. The Youth League is indeed a very special existence in Haihan's bureaucracy. Any young civil and military officials who want to develop in their official career must first join the Youth League to show their ability.

Loyalty has become a necessary condition for officials to pass the review when being promoted. As for officials who can hold positions in the Youth League, there is no need to question their reliability. At least so far, the Ministry of Security has never served in the Youth League.

Spies have been caught among the officials.

Of course, Liu Shang's experience of becoming an official in Haihan was a special situation that was rare in at least ten years, and it was not entirely due to an oversight in the work of the Ministry of Security. And those of them who were far away in Shandong had no idea that Liu Shang had

How to gain trust step by step, so it is difficult to doubt his qualifications. To put it bluntly, their current suspicions do not have any actual evidence, just because Liu Shang had frequent contact with these reported persons in the past few days.

, he was listed as a suspect. However, if this is only used as evidence to investigate an official affiliated with the Youth League, even if it involves intelligence security, the reason is still not sufficient.

Gong Shiqi had never even met Liu Shang, so he couldn't say he had any impressions of him. It was purely out of professional sensitivity that he felt the need to pursue this clue. But since Chen Yixin had spoken, he naturally wouldn't

Then go against your boss's will and go your own way.

As for Zeng Xiaowen, he is not a member of the security department. He is only carrying out Chen Yixin's orders. He is the gun in Chen Yixin's hand, shooting wherever he points. Since Chen Yixin wants to terminate the investigation, he will naturally have no objection.

However, at this juncture, a latest confession was sent to Chen Yixin. In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Yixin did not personally participate in the interrogation. However, all the confessions of the personnel were recorded by the military, so they still had to be sent here.

He looked over.

After reading the transcript, Chen Yixin's expression became a little strange and said: "Gong Qiqi, are you going back to Zhifu Island next?"

Gong Shiqi didn't know what he meant, so he nodded and said, "I am going back to deliver a report to Minister Hao."

"Then when you get to the island, check up on Liu Shang." Chen Yixin thought for a while and then added: "But don't go too far, listen to what he has to say first."

Gong Shiqi reacted very quickly and immediately responded: "Is there some new evidence?"

Chen Yixin nodded and said: "According to Ma Bo's confession, he gave Liu Shang a sum of money yesterday. As for the purpose, Ma Bo said he hoped to use this method to bribe Liu Shang so that he would not interfere in the affairs of the immigration camp."

"So Ma Bo thinks that Liu Shang already knows, or may notice that something is wrong in the immigration camp, so he tries to bribe him?" Gong Shiqi is indeed an elite in the security department, and he immediately thought of the key point.

.

Before Chen Yixin could respond, Gong Qiqi continued to ask: "Can't I... go take a look at this Mabo?"

Of course, Chen Yixin understood that Gong Shiqi’s purpose was definitely not just to take a look. Since the military did not allow the Ministry of Security to participate in the arrest and subsequent interrogation, Gong Qiyi could only make a request very tactfully. Although Chen Yixin also

He was not willing to let the Ministry of Security get involved in this matter, but he had to admit that Gong Shiqi's experience in counterintelligence detection was obviously beyond the reach of the military. He had not even met the parties involved in this case, and he had already heard it just by recounting it.

Many problems emerged after deliberation. If Gong Shiqi was not allowed to go to Ma Bo for the first trial, I am afraid that Hao Wanqing would not be convinced afterward.

Chen Yixin quickly made a decision and asked Zeng Xiaowen to accompany Gong Qiqi to the first trial of Mabo. If there was anything suspicious, he would wait until Gong Qiqi returned to Zhifu Island to investigate. But doing so would be tantamount to giving security a

The Ministry made an opening and let him participate. Chen Yixin looked at Gong Qiqi's leaving figure and couldn't help but shook his head.
