Lu Ming pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized: Kawashima Yoshiko and Dai Li appeared in Shanghai almost at the same time, and the two spy chiefs stayed in the same place. This may be a coincidence, or it may be a conspiracy.

There is a possibility that Dai Li had secret contacts with the Japanese.

Only this kind of thing can make Dai Li so careful to keep his whereabouts secret, and he doesn't want people to find out what he is doing.

Dai Li and the Japanese, the two lines finally have an intersection.

Lu Ming felt that he was one step closer to finding Ning Xiner.

On the second day after the big manhunt ended, a newspaper disclosed the truth about the attack on the hospital. The Communist forces were trying to rescue the comrade they rescued in the hospital. This man was Hou Liang, who was tortured and tortured after being arrested by the Fuxing Society. He was critically ill and had to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

The communist armed forces killed mainly the agents of the Fuxing Agency, as well as members of the hospital guard platoon. Among the casualties, there were no casualties from the January [-]th Incident who were hospitalized in the Army General Hospital.

The paper was immediately shut down and its editor and reporter arrested.

However, "Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Wei Po" later made more detailed reports, even disclosing the injury diagnosis report made by Hou Liang's attending doctor.

The report was so detailed that it was almost a documentary newsletter. It concluded through the diagnosis of Hou Liang's injury and revealed the fact that the Fuxing Society brutally tortured the suspect.

The authorities sent news officials to the newspaper offices to "reprimand" them, but they did not dare to arrest people casually. The two newspapers have strong backgrounds and have a high reputation in the national press circle.

Once someone is arrested, it is estimated that it will trigger protests and solidarity from all walks of life. The authorities gave up the arrest after much deliberation.

The underground party organization finally won the battle of public opinion.

However, they suffered a lot in this big raid. Many leaders of grassroots units were arrested, especially the leaders of trade unions, labor movement, and student movement. The underground party organizations are also using various connections to save people.

That day, Lu Ming was reading the editorial of the "Ta Kung Pao" on the mass arrest. Zhao Yuanliang came to his office, threw a list on his desk, and said angrily: "Mr. Lu, people from the police station and the police headquarters It's so outrageous that many of our informants have been arrested by them."

Lu Ming looked down at the list, there were more than 100 people densely packed.

"What's going on, so many informants have been arrested, so hurry up and release them on bail." Lu Ming patted the piece of paper and said.

"Officer Lu, I really can't stand it anymore. This is a blatant violation of the law. They used this big raid to arrest people casually. Many small businessmen were arrested by them, and then came to blackmail them. If they don't If they were willing to accept their extortion, they tortured them and beat them into tricks, so innocent citizens became underground gangsters. Some people gritted their teeth and accepted the blackmail, and even though they were released, they lost their fortunes.”

Lu Ming smiled wryly and shook his head: "Director Zhao, that's what they usually do, and it's not a new thing. Taking advantage of the raids to make a fortune is their way of making money."

Zhang Ziyang was the inspector of the Police Headquarters. Of course, Lu Ming knew about these shady scenes.

"Are you used to seeing this kind of thing? Don't you feel angry?" Zhao Yuanliang wondered.

"Director Zhao, you were transferred from the army. You have not been here for a few years, and our Fuxing Society can still maintain some of its original qualities. The local government has long been rotten. , You can go to the street and ask ordinary people about these things, and anyone can tell you a lot." Lu Ming shook his head and sighed.

"Prime Minister Sun's Three-Democratic-Principle is really fed to the dog's belly!" Zhao Yuanliang still maintained the integrity of a soldier.

"You are angry and indignant about these things. There is nothing wrong with it. It shows that you are a good man and have a conscience. The higher-ups also know about these things. You can only turn a blind eye and close your eyes. There is no way to control it." Lu Ming didn't hide. Tucked away, what he said was from the heart.

Zhao Yuanliang was a little taken aback. He thought that Lu Ming would make a complaint after knowing these things, so he went to the police station and the police headquarters to ask for an explanation, but he didn't expect that Lu Ming would get used to it long ago.

"Mr. Lu, you are a legal expert, can you tolerate this kind of law enforcement and breaking the law?" Zhao Yuanliang asked puzzled.

"Looking around, how is this not the case? For example, the army, except for some direct-line troops, other miscellaneous troops are not all paid and drink blood. You know these things, but what can you do? The army has no combat effectiveness, why, isn't it because many troops have rotted from the root." Lu Ming smiled wryly.

Zhao Yuanliang was at a loss after hearing this, and just sighed.

He sat down, then unceremoniously picked up the whiskey that Lu Ming put on the table, found a glass, poured a glass, and drank it in one gulp.

Zhao Yuanliang said with the strength of wine rushing to his head: "At the beginning, we fought bloody battles, vowed to die in the Northern Expedition, defeated warlords one after another, and finally established the government of the Republic of China, but is this the result of our bloody revolution? Mr. Lu, I think No way."

"Director Zhao, there are many things we can't think about, and we can't do much. What we can do is to maintain our personal conscience and morality, not to follow the trend, and not let ourselves rot and stink." Lu Ming said with emotion .

The Fuxing Society has not been established for many years. The people who joined the Fuxing Society at the beginning were all Huangpu elites with ideals and aspirations. Therefore, the Fuxing Society has strict rules and everyone maintains a certain moral standard. It is different from the police station and the security command. Compared with people, it is naturally much better.

But this is only a temporary thing. As the enrollment continues to expand and the scale continues to grow, the discipline and moral standards will become lower and lower in the future. Sooner or later, they will become the same as the police station and the police commander.

"By the way, Director Zhao, you need to get the list of their arrests, compare it with our information, and then mark out various situations. They are bearded and eyebrows scratching at each other, and they have no clue at all. We need to figure it out. .” Lu Ming ordered.

"Then how do I classify them? I definitely can't listen to their nonsense." Zhao Yuanliang said angrily.

"Yes, according to our judgment, the first category is pure innocents, the second category is mild suspects, the third category is moderate suspects, and then there are people who are really suspected of the Communist Party. I don’t think there is any CCP underground party with conclusive evidence, you lead some brothers to work hard for a few days, and mark all these, I will be useful.” Lu Ming said.

"Okay. Officer Lu, to be honest, I really don't want to do this job, or I'd better go with you. If I do too many such wicked things, it will ruin all the virtues accumulated by my ancestors." Yes, there is no asshole in the birth of a son." Zhao Yuanliang snorted angrily.

"Director Zhao, you should work here first. I have left you a deputy staff, and I will also give you a salary. I am not ready to give up the Fuxing Society yet, so you will be here as my person to watch Do you understand?" Lu Ming said.

"Understood, I feel at ease with your words." Zhao Yuanliang left with a smile.

Lu Ming is going to take Huang Yanning to form a secret agency together. Zhao Yuanliang can be promoted to one level, stay here as the deputy station chief, and wait for the opportunity to replace Weng Bailing.

Lu Ming wanted to keep someone he could trust in the Fuxingshe building. He didn't want to give up this position completely, but this person must not only be upright, but also have considerable qualifications. Of course, Zhao Yuanliang is the best candidate.

Lu Ming asked Zhao Yuanliang to make this list, and he also had his own ideas. He estimated that some people from the CCP’s underground party must have been arrested this time. He wanted to see what he could do. If it worked well, maybe Able to muddle through and help fish out some important people.

After Zhao Yuanliang left, Lu Ming stood up and walked to the window, staring into the distance, the two Gothic bell towers of Xujiahui Catholic Church came into view, the steeple of the bell tower pierced the sky, as if telling something to the vast universe.

Lu Ming couldn't help thinking, does God really know the misery in this world?

He believes that what he is doing will be accepted by God, but who knows what will happen in the future?

Lu Ming poured a glass of whiskey and held it in his hand. He was reminding himself that he must redouble his energy and be ready to meet challenges at any time.

He is now fighting on two fronts: one is to deal with Dai Li and the Japanese, he wants to rescue Ning Xiner, and the other is to deal with the garrison headquarters and the police station, he wants to fish out some important figures of the underground party.

It's all tightrope walking, requiring intelligence and skill.
