The next morning, Lu Ming went straight to Weng Bailing's office as soon as he got off work, just in time to block Dai Li.

"Yunong, I want to discuss something with you." Lu Ming said straight to the point while closing the door.

"Okay, if you have any instructions, Chief Lu, just say it." Dai Li smiled and had a good attitude.

"What instruction can I give, just some ideas, which may not be useful." Lu Ming said.

Sitting across from Dai Li, he took out a stack of thick lists and put them on the table, and said, "I think there is still something wrong with our big raid."

"Oh, what should I say?" Dai Li suddenly became alert.

Yesterday, the Fuxing News Shanghai station received a secret telegram from Nanjing. The Nanjing Military Commission fully affirmed the large-scale raid, believing that although there were some problems, it effectively suppressed the arrogance of the communist militants in Shanghai.

The Shanghai Municipal Government also received this confidential telegram, and immediately followed up by calling Fuxingshe Shanghai station to express their congratulations and thank them for their efforts in maintaining the stability of Shanghai's economy and the safety of the people.

Dai Li was complacent about this, but Lu Ming came to give his opinion.

"I think this operation has caught too many people. Many of our hidden informants have been arrested. This brings harm to our work. Once their identities are exposed, it will seriously affect the future intelligence acquisition. In addition, we caught all the small fish and shrimps among the Communist Party suspects, and the big fish may sink to the bottom, and it will be difficult for us to catch them in the future." Lu Ming said.

"You mean..." Dai Li opened his mouth, seeming to understand, but also didn't seem to understand.

"I mean this, look at this list." Lu Ming first took out a list and showed it to Dai Li.

Dai Li took the list and looked at it carefully, frowning.

"There are some slightly suspect people on this list. We have been tracking these people, or finding out whether they are suspected of being a communist party, or finding out who is behind them. These people should not be arrested. We arrested them. , the line is broken." Lu Ming said.

Dai Li nodded and took the second list from Lu Ming.

"On this list are people with mild suspicion. Most of them are members of the labor movement, student movement, and trade unions. If you want to say that these people are the Communist Party, they are not qualified. At most, they have participated in some activities. But there are likely to be big fish behind them, and we have caught them all now, and it is not easy to convict them, and it has also alarmed the big fish behind them." Lu Ming continued to explain.

Dai Li nodded and said, "I probably understand what you mean, what else?"

"The last list contains moderate CCP suspects. These people may be peripheral personnel of the underground party, or they were deceived and coerced to run errands with the underground party. These people are the ones we should focus on tracking. , you can say they are the bait, and we can use these baits to catch big fish."

Lu Ming handed over the last list. Dai Li looked at him with strange eyes at this time. He didn't expect Lu Ming to have such a meticulous thinking.

"Now that we have caught all the small fish and shrimp, and the bait is gone, how will we fish in the future?" Lu Ming said.

Dai Li let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this, his mind was spinning rapidly.

What Lu Ming said made sense, but according to what he meant, almost half of the people who were captured this time would be released. Isn't this a waste of time.

"These are also small businessmen and peddlers. There is no suspicion of the Communist Party at all. The police abused their powers to arrest these people for extortion. This practice has seriously damaged the reputation of the Party and the country." Lu Ming took another piece of paper from his bag. He made a few lists and handed them to Dai Li.

Of course Dai Li knew about these despicable activities, and he also disliked such practices, but in order to obtain the cooperation of the police station and the security headquarters, he could only turn a blind eye.

"Officer Lu, according to your idea, how should we deal with this matter?"

Dai Li's habit is to never take the initiative to express his own ideas. After others have expressed their opinions, he will carefully calculate and then put forward his own views.

"I think the five-day raids have created a deterrent in Shanghai. This is of course a good thing, but if we don't grasp the speed well, it will have a certain negative impact on our further detection of the CCP's underground party. .”

Lu Ming started his trick of fooling around, but this time he was facing the old fox Dai Li, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.

"Through the clues provided by the captured suspects, we should be able to find clues about the Communist Party. What's wrong with that?" Dai Li asked rhetorically.

"As far as I know, this big raid did not confirm the capture of an underground party, only suspects, which would hide the real Communist Party. The clues provided by the suspects were either false or obtained through torture. If It's true, the Communists have already run away." Lu Ming sneered.

"What does Chief Lu mean, those suspects should be released quietly first, and then follow them quietly?" Dai Li's tone seemed to disapprove of such an approach.

"Although it's a bit late to do this, it can be regarded as a remedy after a dead sheep. These people are locked in prison, and we have nothing to gain."

"You also know that Nanjing has already called to praise our action, and the Shanghai Municipal Government has also said that it will commend those who have made meritorious deeds. It's not right for us to release them now, right?"

Dai Li began to waver a little, and felt that Lu Ming's words made sense, but he was always unwilling to let him retreat like this.

"Of course I am not saying that this action is not good, but now that we have achieved the desired effect, we should actively deal with the aftermath. Letting those innocent citizens and small businessmen go free shows that our party-state will not wrong a good person. This also makes sense." Lu Ming continued to fool around.

"How should we deal with those who have different degrees of suspicion?" Dai Li asked suspiciously.

"Of course the suspects have confessions to be pursued. Those who don't have confessions should be treated differently, marked according to their degree of suspicion, and then continue to observe and track them." Lu Ming said.

"Well, Chief Lu is indeed far-sighted, but I can't decide this matter, I need to get the approval from above, and you also know that without the order from above, the Songhu Police Command and the Shanghai Police Department will not buy our account. "Dai Li smiled brightly.

"Then I would like to ask Mr. He to communicate with the higher-ups. The sooner we implement it, the better. Now we don't have the upper hand in public opinion. Many foreign media are criticizing us for abusing the law and persecuting citizens." Lu Ming said.

Dai Li also sighed. He read several major foreign newspapers and magazines every day. These foreign newspapers satirized the Republic of China government like a competition, and some even slammed the government for abusing the law and oppressing the people.

Several domestic newspapers, such as "Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Wei Po" did not have a good word, and followed the foreign media to spare no effort to criticize the government, saying that these few days were the darkest week in Shanghai since the establishment of the Republic of China government.

This is of course a bit exaggerated. To say that the darkest week was the April 16 massacre in [-] of the Republic of China.

Dai Li promised to get in touch with Nanjing immediately, and asked Shangfeng for approval to release the prisoner as soon as possible.

In fact, he already had this idea faintly. Although many policemen, military policemen, and their bosses are earning a lot of money, the prison system is overwhelmed, and it is difficult to maintain the minimum needs of prisoners in the prison, and there is a serious shortage of prison guards. , overworked and so on.

Of course, they all got a lot of money through extortion, but if these people are detained for a long time, the prison system will collapse. If something goes wrong, the money they get from extortion is not enough to pay for their lives.

Dai Li has heard all kinds of gossip, and whenever there are complaints, moths will soon appear. This is Dai Li's experience.

"These are our informants, it's best to release them today." Lu Ming drew out a list and gave it to Dai Li.

Some on this list are indeed Fuxingshe informants, but more are people Sheng Muyi and Du Juan asked him to release.

"Are these people our informants?" Dai Li was stunned when he saw the long list.

"What does our Shanghai station rely on to collect information? It's a huge list of informants. The actual number of informants is several times that of this list." Lu Ming laughed.

The list of informants of the Fuxing Society is now in the hands of Zhao Yuanliang, so it doesn't matter how many people Lu Mingtian enters, as long as he says they are informants, they are the informants.

"Since they are our own people, of course we have to let them go. But why do I have the impression that how many people are the leaders of the trade union?" Dai Li was a little suspicious.

"If they don't have a certain status in the union, how can they provide us with high-quality information?" Lu Ming said.

"Is it our insider who broke into the union?" Dai Li's eyes lit up, obviously for Lu Ming to see.

He also has information on some of the major trade unions in Shanghai, mainly obtained through people from the Qinghong Gang who have infiltrated the trade unions.Shanghai Railway Station also has its own insider in the trade union, and this is the first time he has heard of it.

In order to save these people, Lu Ming had no choice but to designate them as insiders of the Fuxing Society. Anyway, these lists were all in Zhao Yuanliang's hands afterwards, no different from his direct control.

Lu Ming also knew that Dai Li might not believe his words, but these people were not important suspects, and Dai Li didn't care about anything.

Now that they are on the list, it means they have a criminal record, and they just need to pay attention to them in the future.Dai Li felt relieved when he thought about it.
