Chapter 886 Happy New Year's Eve
Chapter 886 Ending (Happy New Year’s Eve)
"Raise the gun."
"aim."
In early summer, a beach outside Changcheng City was heavily guarded. Military policemen from six city defense headquarters aimed at four prisoners with their heads covered and kneeling on the ground with their hands behind their backs.
Some of the four people remained silent and waited quietly for death, some collapsed on the ground, and some screamed at the top of their lungs.
"I not only know the information about the Japanese, but also the information about the lower party in Chiacheng. Those addresses and names are all true. I am willing to take responsibility for the crime."
It's a pity that no one cares about what he is talking about. People who are on the verge of death can say anything as long as they can survive.
Not to mention the information about the underground party, there are people who claim that they are the commissioned son. The executioners have seen too many things like this and will not believe it at all.
"put!"
"Bang...bang..."
As the starter stood up, several gunshots were fired, and the four prisoners stumbled to the ground. The sound startled several waterfowl hiding by the water, and they quickly flew away against the water.
The people who were watching the excitement on the dike in the distance immediately let out cheers when they saw this scene. As for who died, does it matter? It doesn't matter. Just watch it if there is excitement.
"Mom, let me scream again."
A bald man supervising the execution cursed, angrily took a few steps forward to the corpse, pulled out the gun from his waist and pulled the trigger repeatedly on the four prisoners who were dying.
Pah~pah. After a few shots, blood spattered everywhere. The blood mist was blown by the wind and emitted a strange halo under the sunlight, which gave it a somewhat eerie beauty.
In the open space in the inner circle of the execution ground, Zuo Zhong, who was rarely wearing a military uniform, was wearing a major general uniform. He leaned against the engine compartment of the car and shouted at his bald head.
"Youguang, why are you so crazy? Don't you need to spend money to buy ammunition? Hurry up and check the prisoner's identity. If there is no problem, leave."
"okay!"
Gui Youguang answered loudly, unloaded the gun and put it back into the holster, then squatted down and took off the hood on the prisoner's head, carefully checking whether the four of them had been impersonated.
Watching his movements, Wu Chunyang, who accompanied Zuo Zhong, asked a question: "Deputy Director, what should I do with the body? Should I find a place to bury it? The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I'm afraid it will stink."
"Gnady was sent to Wangjiadun Airport to prevent the Red Russians from thinking that we were holding back. Someone told Blagoveshchensky that I always keep my word and never lie."
Zuo Zhong looked forward and pointed at the other three corpses with a cold expression: "The corpses of Wu Xiaoyi, Zhen Xiu, and Guo Jinyao should be disposed of and hung on the city gate to warn some people not to go the wrong way."
"Understood."
Wu Chunyang nodded slightly, glanced at him secretly, and cautiously asked again: "Guo Jinyao relented at the final stage of the interrogation and revealed some information related to the underground party's Jiacheng organization.
According to him, he originally planned to tell the truth when retracting his confession, to increase the credibility of the false confession and completely confirm his identity as a subordinate. This information has not yet been ascertained.
Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to execute him like this? Now is the time when various departments are competing for power. If someone knows about it, they might use this as an excuse to attack you and Virgo."
After listening to this, Zuo Zhong looked as usual. He couldn't help but recall the secret agents arresting Guo Jinyao on the Zhenchang. At the end of the operation, the figure flashed past in the crowd, and he had some guesses in his mind.
The underground party is not simple. Guo Jinyao's information was provided by the Japanese intelligence organization. The other party probably discovered the abnormal situation of the Japanese and tracked the oil mill.
After seeing Guo Jinyao being arrested, he decisively evacuated the relevant personnel. Fortunately, otherwise he would be in trouble this time. It would be a difficult problem for him to arrest his comrades or not.
On the surface, Zuo Zhong snorted coldly: "Didn't he tell me that those addresses were checked? They were all empty. The neighbors didn't know about the residents. God knows if those people were from the underworld."
Besides, more sensitive moments are worse than less. Now that the war is imminent, the Secret Service must focus on the military and provide frontline troops with the movements of the Japanese army."
Speaking of this, Zuo Zhong waved his hand to strengthen his tone and decided not to create extraneous matters, let alone let the Secret Service continue to investigate. Anyway, Baldhead's order was ahead of him.
At this time, more than a month had passed since Bald Head held a meeting in Banshanlu. Although the other party requested that the case be concluded as soon as possible, some procedures were unavoidable.
Just like Wu Xiaoyi, he said that he was deceived by Zhen Xiu, so he had to check the confessions of the two and look for side evidence. Torture is a necessary method.
The Secret Service cannot kill a person easily before the last bit of use value of the prisoner is squeezed out. Sometimes the clues are discovered through post-case interrogation.
Back to Wu Xiaoyi, this scholar was so disgraced that he even confessed how old he was when he peed his pants under severe punishment, emphasizing over and over again that he was an innocent deceiver.
However, it was not up to him to decide whether he was guilty or not. Shooting three people was not as spectacular as shooting four people, so President Wu became an accomplice of the Japanese spy.
Wu Chunyang thought about it and found that it was indeed the case. What Guo Jinyao said could not be verified. I don't know if there will be anything to gain from further investigation, so it is better to end it here.
"By the way, Lao Wu went to Banshanlu, right?"
I don't know what he thought of, but Zuo Zhong suddenly asked Wu Chunyang about Wu Jingzhong's whereabouts, and he stretched leisurely while talking.
After the long cold winter in Changcheng and the intrigues at work, now he was bathing in the warm sunshine and felt as if his whole body had come to life.
Wu Chunyang bowed slightly, with a smile on his face: "Here we go, the eldest son has just returned to China, and he called Lao Wu before he settled in. It seems that the two of them have a good relationship.
But Deputy Director, it was you and Minister Song who pushed for the release of Red Russia, why don't you go and take a look, it's a taboo to say something low-level, the committee will eventually get old."
The two of them were born and died together, and they were brothers of life and death who could safely hand over their backs, so he spoke frankly about some things.
After the eldest son came back from Hong Kong, Captain Wei did not meet him for several days. The reason was naturally the incident where the eldest son "severed the relationship between father and son".
Seeing this situation, many officials did not dare to act rashly even if they had plans to burn the stove. They all waited patiently and did not dare to take the lead.
However, with Minister Song's patient persuasion, the eldest son and Captain Wei finally settled their differences. After all, they are father and son, so how could they have an overnight feud.
This incident caused a huge sensation. The number of Guo Party members who came to visit the eldest son was like a crucian carp. After all, they were placed in the former dynasty. This was a standard prince (separation).
Wu Chunyang didn't understand why others went to show their favor to the eldest son, but the deputy director who facilitated the matter was so low-key and not in a hurry.
"Chunyang, come with me for a walk."
Facing Wu Chunyang's question, Zuo Zhong did not answer directly, but softly called him to walk to Changtan. Standing beside the vast Yanbo, he said leisurely to his old subordinates.
"You know Ji Gang. Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty favored this man very much. He first appointed him as a loyal and righteous guard for thousands of households. After he came to the throne, Ji Gang was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guards, in charge of the personal army and the prison.
What did Ji Gang rely on to be in charge of Jin Yiwei for 14 years and dominate the court? He relied on Chengzu's trust. Without Chengzu, this person would be nothing more than a bastard.
His failure and death had a lot to do with the battle to seize the land. As a knife, the knife should not have other ideas until the previous owner has completely let go of it."
He leaned over and picked up a stone, and threw it into the distance with Zuo Zhong. When the water splashed down, he patted the thoughtful Wu Chunyang on the shoulder with a very serious expression.
"Chunyang, you have to remember that I want the eldest son to return to the country only to repay the support of the committee, not to cling to the so-called prince (separate). This world still belongs to Mr. Wei.
If you go to see the other party now, if you think too much about it, it will be tantamount to asking for death. What's more important is that the eldest son has stayed in Red Russia for such a long time and has been more or less influenced by red ideas.
Coupled with the existence of the red Russian concubine (separated), if people like us get close to each other rashly, people will definitely think that it is an ulterior motive and an unflattering thing, so there is no need to do it.
Even if people don't think so, rushing to get results will only make people look down upon and treat them as a tool. To put it more harshly, it is just a dog that handles dirty work. So why bother.
Lao Wu went there just in time. Do you think the eldest son really cares about the friendship between classmates? He just saw the huge power of the Secret Service and wanted to use it for his own use. What should I say then?
And I heard that in 1934, this person met with a high-level official from Red Russia, not because of the other person’s identity, but because of the other person’s outstanding performance, which is called high ideological consciousness in the local parlance.
A hostage can actually be received by Red Russian No. 1 because of his good behavior. How can such a person be a simple person? Our eldest son has a profound moral character. There is no benefit in getting close to him."
After a few nods to Wu Chunyang, Zuo Zhong added: "In addition, don't send people to monitor the concubine Hong Ertai (separate). It is not our turn to take care of the family affairs of the envoy.
There is no credit for managing things well, and there is no credit for not managing things well. If there is an order, just ask Lao Wu to say hello to the other party, make a show of it, and give him an explanation.
Everyone has a negative scale, and for the eldest son, his wife, who has accompanied him through difficult years, is undoubtedly a negative scale, and anyone who dares to touch her will die."
Wu Chunyang understood and stopped worrying about the matter. Just when he was about to ask about the next work arrangements, he heard a buzzing sound in the sky in the distance, and small black dots appeared on the horizon.
"It's a Japanese plane! Evacuate quickly!" someone shouted fiercely.
The military police, spies, and civilians present were immediately frightened and dispersed. They skillfully looked for bunkers and shelters, ducked in, or crouched under a big tree to avoid possible air attacks.
Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang, who were running wildly, dragged Zuo Zhong and jumped off the bank of Chang'an. They came to a depression and lay down. The three of them raised their heads and watched dozens of planes with plaster flags on them roaring past.
