Although Dai Li asked to save Hou Liang at all costs, he actually didn't place too much hope on him. He just thought that as long as Hou Liang was still alive, there would be a way to pry his mouth open one day and learned about the Shanghai Underground Party and City Working Committee. Condition.

Hou Liang walked away from the gate of hell, and when he came back, he still stood upright and refused to confess, but the contest between the two sides did not end there.

Dai Li didn't want to let go of the last chance. In his espionage career, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would stick to it.

Hou Liang is a traffic officer of the Shanghai Underground Party and City Working Committee, and he is responsible for all contact with the lower-level units of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee.

Dai Li's insider provided accurate information. Hou Liang had a working relationship with the person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Work Committee. As long as he recruited him, he could expand the results of the war.

If all the members of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee were wiped out last time, Hou Liang would have lost his value, and Dai Li would have pulled him out and shot him without hesitation, let alone saving his life at all costs.

However, Dai Li didn't expect any results in the short term. Sending people to find Hou Liang's woman and child was just a fixed action, and nine out of ten it was a failure.

Generally speaking, the underground party will secretly arrange for immediate family members to prevent them from pulling out their wives and children after being arrested.

But things in the world are sometimes so coincidental, although coincidences are not necessarily good things.

The woman who lived with Hou Liang in Shanghai was accidentally found in a county next to Hangzhou a few days later, along with an eight-year-old boy.

After the failure of the Great Revolution, this woman took her child to a county town in Hangzhou to settle down and live on her teaching salary.

After Hou Liang returned to Shanghai from Hong Kong, he found his wife and child. For the safety of the mother and child, he did not let his lover and son return to Shanghai, but continued to hide in the counties around Hangzhou.

Hou Liang felt that it was relatively safe for the two of them to hide in the county seat of Hangzhou. They could enter Hangzhou if they entered, and they could enter the countryside if they retreated.

The main reason for making such a choice is to consider that the child will go to school. If he returns to the countryside, it will delay the child's schooling.

When Hou Liang was free, he traveled secretly between Shanghai and Hangzhou alone. The distance between the two places is not far, so it is convenient to travel.

When Hou Liang returned to Hangzhou, he lied that he was working in a trading company in Shanghai, so he could go home and rest every Sunday.

However, it is precisely because he often returns to his home in Hangzhou that he is remembered by his neighbors.

One of the neighbors was a policeman at the Hangzhou Police Station, so when the agent of Fuxingshe Hangzhou Station came to the police station and asked for assistance in the investigation, the policeman recognized Hou Liang and the portrait of the woman at a glance.

The next thing was simple. Fuxing agency agents took the mother and son to the basement of Shanghai Fuxing agency, allowing the mother and son to see Hou Liang covered in bandages.

When Hou Liang saw his lover and son suddenly appear in front of him, it seemed as if the whole world was collapsing before his eyes, and he fainted in desperation.

When he woke up, he reached an agreement with Dai Li. He did not ask to let him go, but only asked Dai Li to let go of his lover and son, and he was willing to confess in full.

Dai Li was ecstatic, and not only agreed to his request, but also insisted on giving him a settling-in allowance, a house in Shanghai, and special agents to protect his safety.

Dai Li also promised that after Hou Liang fully recovered, if he was willing to work for him, he would be given a position in the Fuxing Society. If he was not willing, he could choose any city to settle down.

Hou Liang didn't expect Dai Li to keep his promise, but he had no choice now, he couldn't just watch his woman and son go to a dead end, so he had to tell him everything he knew about the situation.

That night, all the agents of the Fuxing Agency were dispatched, and even half of the staff in the building were mobilized to start the arrest operation.

In the middle of the night, the arrest operation ended, and all the heads of the Shanghai Municipal Work Committee who remained in Shanghai were arrested, and more than 20 grassroots cadres were also arrested.

This successful arrest made Dai Li elated, and overnight, the dangerous CCP organization of the Shanghai Municipal Work Committee, an underground party, was completely eradicated.

This is often the case with underground work. Once a comrade with core information is arrested, all other comrades will hang by a thread.

Lu Ming got the news the next morning, and Weng Bailing specially called him to have a meeting at the Fuxingshe Building.

He didn't know until he arrived at the office that a large number of Communist Party cadres had been arrested in the event of last night, and they are now being held in the basement of the Fuxing Society.

Lu Ming only felt a buzzing in his head, and he immediately understood that Hou Liang must have betrayed.

However, he immediately felt that this matter was too strange.

Hou Liang has been arrested for a long time, no matter whether he confesses or not, all the underground parties who have intersected with Hou Liang should have been withdrawn long ago. How could someone be arrested? Are these people fools waiting to be arrested?

"Did you really catch someone from the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee of the underground party? You can't make a mistake, right?" Lu Ming smiled wryly.

"Sir, there is absolutely no mistake. Last night, several people were interrogated overnight. They have already admitted that they are the leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Work Committee of the underground party. Hou Liang also identified them one by one. This time, they can't be wrong." Zhao Yuanliang was excited. said.

He also participated in the surprise trial last night, and he has not closed his eyes until now, but he is not sleepy, and his whole body is full of strength, almost like adrenaline.

The successful arrest this time can be regarded as a great achievement for a secret service organization. Although it was completed under the command of Dai Li, the credit still has to be credited to the Shanghai Station.

"Why did Hou Liang suddenly turn around? Didn't he even survive the torture?" Lu Ming couldn't understand.

It is very simple for a person not to be afraid of death, but there are too few people who can really survive the torture.

There are many such cases in history.In the Tang Dynasty, under the torture of cruel officials, many people would rather admit that they had rebelled, and they would not hesitate to take the lives of hundreds or even thousands of people in the entire clan, because they could not bear the torture.

Of course, there are exceptions. Lu Ming remembers a case in the Songhu Police Headquarters. It was also an underground party that withstood the test of torture, but failed to withstand the test of death in the execution ground, and suddenly had a desire to survive in the execution ground.

The difference between life and death is indeed a little scary.

"He survived the torture, but he couldn't survive the family relationship. We found his woman and child. As soon as he saw the mother and child, he recruited him immediately. He confessed everything without reservation." Zhao Yuanliang said.

"If you don't talk about the law, don't say it. Threatening someone's family is completely obscene. Is this a fucking human thing?" Lu Ming felt a little ashamed.

"Sir, when it comes to dealing with the Communist Party, we only follow the decree on suppressing rebellion and suppressing bandits, not normal laws. This is the decision of the Nanjing Military Commission." Zhao Yuanliang said with a blushing face.

He also felt that it was too despicable and shameless to do so. He said that if one person is guilty, the other should be punished, and the family members are not affected by the disaster. This is all stipulated by the law.

But in dealing with the Communist Party, there is no need to act in accordance with any laws or moral principles, as long as the goal can be achieved, any means can be used.

Lu Ming could only sigh. Ordinarily, an arrest warrant must be issued by the court, but neither the police station nor the police headquarters have ever enforced this law. , Wait until the extortion is enough before releasing him.

This is true of both law enforcement agencies, not to mention the Renaissance Agency, which is more detached than them.

"Sir, let's go down to the meeting. Officer Dai and Station Master Weng are waiting." Zhao Yuanliang said cautiously.

"Let's go. By the way, are these people locked up here?" Lu Ming asked.

"Of course, this is our case. How could the police station and the security headquarters intervene? They are all locked in the basement." Zhao Yuanliang laughed.

"Do we have enough security guards? The underground party sent so many people to attack the Army General Hospital last time for Hou Liang alone. Now we have taken over his city working committee. I don't know how many people will come to rob him." .” Lu Ming said casually.

"This... I really don't know. Officer Dai and Station Master Weng didn't say anything, but we have a guard company, which should be enough. Besides, the people in this building are all soldiers, and there are also a hundred and ten people. You can fight with a gun," said Zhao Yuanliang.

"Well, what you said is also reasonable, but it's better to be careful. I will also transfer people from the first action brigade in the afternoon, and the security work must be strengthened." Lu Ming said.

"That would be even better, and the officer is more thoughtful." Zhao Yuanliang followed Lu Ming downstairs.
