Chapter 13 Aftermath

Jingle bell! Jingle bell!

Zhuang Xiaoman rushed to his residence out of breath, but before he even entered the door, he heard a series of phone rings coming from inside the house.

He quickly walked into the house to adjust himself, then picked up the phone receiver and said in a lazy voice.

"What's up?"

When Gu Junru saw that the call was finally connected, she hurriedly said: "Sister Xiaoman, you finally answered the phone, something big happened! Come to the department as soon as possible."

Zhuang Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. Fortunately, he arrived in time. He had just treated the wound at Li Jie's place. He didn't dare to delay at all and rushed back without taking a rest. He was afraid that Corey had a mission, even though he

It is always a bad idea to be absent from the search operation without any reason after being disguised.

While changing clothes, Zhuang Xiaoman saw the wound on his arm that Li Jie had bandaged, and Zhuang Xiaoman smiled knowingly, and then rushed to the Secret Service Department unhurriedly.

Zhuang Xiaoman knew too many high-level officials, and she did not dare to offend Hu Yibiao too much even if his position was higher than hers.

Hu Yibiao saw Zhuang Xiaoman arriving late and said helplessly: "My aunt, you are finally here. You don't know how angry the Japanese are. Anyone who is absent from this operation will be severely held accountable."

"Captain Hu, am I here?"

Hu Yibiao did not dare to delay any longer and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

On the way, Hu Yibiao told Zhuang Xiaoman the general situation of the matter, and finally sighed: "These secret agents are so rampant! Poor us hard-working pawns, they were woken up from bed in the middle of the night, what do you think?

What does this mean?"

Zhuang Xiaoman said lightly: "Captain Hu, you are not a hard worker. You make a lot of money on weekdays. Xiaoman is the hard worker."

Hu Yibiao smiled and stopped talking. After a night of searching, all major hospitals and clinics in the city were turned upside down, but naturally nothing was found.

In the early morning, the newsboy on the street shouted.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"

"The well-known scholar Wan Yong and Chen Hanmo were assassinated last night!"

"Many more people are missing!"

…………

Wang Qinian was startled when he heard the newsboy's shouting, and beckoned: "Bring me a newspaper."

I stood there and read it quickly. After reading it, I rushed to the teahouse with a worried expression. After arriving at the teahouse, I said to my friend Cao Xuzhi.

"Xuzhi, look at this newspaper!"

After reading this, Cao Xuzhi's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "This... this..., what do you think I should do? Do you want to leave here? When you invited us, you didn't say that your life is still in danger!"

Wang Qinian smiled bitterly: "It's easier said than done. Didn't you pay attention to the two people at that table? They should be sent by the Secret Service to monitor us."

Cao Xuzhi glanced secretly in the direction Wang Qinian was pointing. The two field officers from the Secret Service did not try to hide their presence and looked at him openly, with a threatening look in their eyes. Cao Xuzhi said helplessly upon seeing this.

"Oh, I was really blinded by lard back then. I regret it! I regret it!"

Wang Qinian also regretted in his heart. He did not see the generous salary for high-ranking officials promised by the Wang Puppet Government. Instead, he had to face the pursuit of the Nationalist Government. When he thought of the fate of those three people and thought about it, he couldn't help but feel frightened. There was always a kind of fear.

Omens of impending disaster lingered in his mind.

In the Muto mansion, Muto Shixiong was furious, and Li Feng, the chief of the Secret Service Section, stood aside to accept the reprimand.

"What did your special service department do? More than twenty people disappeared after they were told they were missing!"

Li Feng remained silent and did not dare to reply. Although Muto Shio was not his direct boss, Muto, as the person in charge of the Muto Mansion, had the right to hold him accountable.

Muto Shio vented a few more words and waved his hand to ask Li Feng to step down. If Wang's puppet government was not about to be formed, he would have killed Li Feng. It was not appropriate to create extraneous matters at this time. After all, Li Feng was not a person without any background.

"Let's go! The gendarmerie will take over the subsequent security tasks. You, the Special Agent Section, don't need to take care of it. You can just assist from the side."

Hearing this, Li Feng felt as if he had been granted an amnesty. This sudden incident caught him off guard. The list of participants was strictly confidential except for the person in charge. Due to the tight manpower of the Secret Service Section, it was impossible to protect them all. The two missing persons were

Basically, there are more than a dozen people who are not under surveillance.

If something like this happened, there must be an insider leaking the secret. He would investigate it strictly without being asked by his superiors. This incident really made him feel a little disgraced.

When Sun Zhengqing saw Li Jie coming to the library, there was no one around, so he waved his hand and motioned for Li Jie to follow him.

"Comrade Wasp, what happened to the three scholars who were assassinated yesterday?"

Li Jie pretended to be confused and said: "I just wanted to ask, wasn't it done by the organization?"

When Sun Zhengqing saw this, he didn't doubt him. He was silent for a while and said, "Have you told anyone the news?"

Li Jie shook his head: "I didn't tell anyone except you. Was there a traitor in the organization, which caused the news to leak? And the other party actually took action on the same day as us."

Sun Zhengqing said in a solemn tone: "This matter must be reported to the municipal committee. Not many people have access to this information. On behalf of the organization, I would like to thank you for your contribution this time!"

Li Jie smiled slightly: "This is what I should do. Compared with comrades on the front line, my job is already very easy. By the way, I want to meet the teacher. Comrade Gucheng, can you arrange it?"

Sun Zhengqing asked in confusion: "Why?"

Li Jie told about his previous encounter with Fang Min and his subsequent plans. Sun Zhengqing smiled after listening.

"What did I think was going on? It turns out that it's like this, Comrade Hufeng, you don't have to worry. Comrade Chunfeng has already made arrangements. If nothing happens, Fang Min will be sent to the outer area tomorrow. I haven't sent her away before, mainly because I'm afraid.

Arousing Zhao Zhongyi's suspicion, it would be strange if Fang Min disappeared for a long time."

Hearing that Fang Min was about to be sent to the border area, Li Jie felt relieved. Compared to Shanghai, the border area could be called a pure land. Fang Min's life in the border area would not be too difficult if there was an organized shelter.

The next day, Kanan Asakawa was carefully reporting the investigation results to Shio Muto.

"Consul, the investigation into the shooting that occurred on the night of May 18th is in trouble. The gendarmerie and the special service department searched all the hospitals, clinics and underground clinics in Shanghai, but no clues were found. The subordinates speculated that the assassin was not there at all.

If you go for treatment, you may have fled out of Shanghai."

"Ashikaga Shisai reported this matter to Lieutenant General Ishihara, who ordered that follow-up work must be done well so as not to affect the holding of the Japan-China Exchange Meeting."

"The remaining scholars are all in danger and have no intention of staying in Shencheng. If it weren't for the gendarmerie's supervision, I'm afraid these people would have run away long ago."

One bad news after another made Shio Muto a little overwhelmed, he rubbed his swollen head and said calmly.

"Asakawa-kun, isn't there any good news?"
