Chapter 222 even
Zhou Changfu was indeed Guo Tongzhen’s offline line. He sent a letter to Wei Yiqun before, which was arranged by Zhou Changfu.
Wei Yiqun suddenly cooperated with Jiang Risheng and reported the incident of the Military Control Commission's persuasion of surrender, which caused Guo Tongzhen to be in chaos. If Zhou Changfu had not made the arrangements properly, something might have happened.
After that, Zhou Changfu deliberately kept in contact with the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Regiment. He received news that several new officers from the Ninth Regiment had a decent style and strict discipline. He neither beat and scolded soldiers nor ate, drank, gambled.
Based on this, Zhou Changfu inferred that these so-called "official officers" were the Communist Party.
Guo Tongzhen supported his judgment and asked Zhou Changfu to investigate with all his might. He always suspected that people like Wei Yiqun would never be able to follow the Japanese. Perhaps this kid had already joined the Eighth Route Army, so he played the role of resolutely resisting the military command and luring surrender.
The next day, Guo Tongzhen went to the Liyuan Mansion at No. 72 Ximen Street for a meeting. Wushan Eiichi and Terada Kiyozo specifically asked about this.
Seeing that Jiang Risheng was also there, Guo Tongzhen cleared his throat and said slowly: "I suspect that Wei Yiqun had secretly colluded with the Communist Party for a long time. The reason why he took the initiative to report Chongqing's letter of surrender was to avoid people's doubts. The recent mysterious soldiers in the Ninth Regiment are likely to be Communist cadres."
He once worked in the 115th Division Opera Club and is very familiar with the style of Communist cadres.
Jiang Risheng sarcastically said, "How could Captain Guo say some ambiguous words? Wei Yiqun's previous performance has shown that he is very loyal to the Imperial Army. Now you impose a hat of communism on others. If there is no sufficient evidence, it will cause Wei Yiqun's heart to be cold and the entire Ninth Regiment. A unit will disperse its morale and collapse. Who will bear the responsibility at that time?"
Guo Tongzhen blushed: "I am a reasonable speculation, why did it become a disruption of the morale of the army? As a spy, you should consider any possibility and be suspicious of everything."
Jiang Risheng said: "Since that's the case, why don't you doubt the source of the information? Could it be that someone deliberately spread this kind of news that made us doubt Wei Yiqun and even took measures against him."
Jiang Risheng's words made everyone's heart move.
Yes, this is also a possibility. If this is the Communist Party’s plan, all of them will become accomplices.
Naturally, Eiichi Wu and Kiyozo Teda would not believe in Wei Yiqun's loyalty to Japan. Chinese people rarely are truly loyal to Japan. Most of the Chinese who do things for Japan are just for their own interests.
Of course, Jiang Ri won the odds, and his loyalty to Japan is indeed from the heart and rooted in his bones.
Guo Tongzhen shook his head and retorted: "Your suspicion is not valid. The new officer of the Ninth Regiment must have Wei Yiqun nodded."
Jiang Risheng sneered: "What if the so-called new officer of the Ninth Regiment is also fake news?"
Guo Tongzhen hesitated and said, "This..."
The short and fat Kiyozo Terada suddenly spoke: "No matter whether it is true or not, the investigation will still be investigated."
Jiang Risheng immediately said: "Teda Jun, I suggest that the investigation be made by the UHSG branch. I have worked with Wei Yiqun once, and I am more familiar with each other and it is easier to find problems."
Guo Tongzhen hurriedly said: "No, this is the information my people have obtained, and I should investigate it."
He still doesn't know who Jiang Risheng is? If there is really a problem, it is very easy to be bribed. I don't know when my butt will sit on Wei Yiqun's side.
Jiang Risheng said with a worried look: "Captain Guo, your person has made the wrong direction from the beginning. If you continue to investigate, there will be no result."
Guo Tong's face turned red: "How did you know he was wrong?"
Jiang Risheng said confidently: "I believe in Wei Yiqun."
Guo Tongzhen said coldly: "Are you guaranteeing him?"
Jiang Risheng shook his head: "I never guarantee it for others, this is just my intuition. You may not believe it now, but you will understand that you are wrong in the future."
Wu Shanyingyi said: "This is the information that Guo Sang got first, so let him continue to investigate. Jiang Sang, although you have a good relationship with Wei Yiqun, you cannot convey information to him."
Jiang Risheng said loudly: "Please rest assured that Wushanjun is not involved in my personal feelings at work."
When Guo Tongzhen heard this, he showed a look of contempt and disdain on his face. He really wanted to tear Jiang Risheng's mouth apart. Jiang Risheng's most mixed with personal feelings at work.
Jiang Risheng did the most things that made a living, deceived his superiors and concealed his subordinates, and confused them with black and white.
After Guo Tongzhen left, Jiang Risheng was kept, and Wu Shan Yingyi talked to him alone.
"Jiang Sang, do you really think this is the Communist Party's plan?"
Jiang Risheng analyzed: "If the Communist Party had contacted Wei Yiqun before the Military Control Commission, we should have received the news early. Wei Yiqun had just refused the Military Control Commission's persuasion to surrender, and suddenly it was reported that the Communist Party cadres came from the Ninth Regiment. This kind of rumors was really not clever."
Wu Shanying frowned: "If we ignore it, won't the Communist Party's plan be lost?"
Jiang Risheng immediately said: "So, I doubted the source of Guo Tongzhen's intelligence. Even..."
Wushan Yingyi followed and asked, "Even what."
Jiang Risheng hesitated and said, "Even his people are possible..."
Wu Shanying blurted out: "It may be the Communist Party?"
Jiang Risheng said: "It can only be said that there is a possibility. After all, the Communist Party is omnipresent. It is said that many people dare not offend the Eighth Route Army and do things for them secretly, just to leave a way out for themselves."
Wu Shan Yingyi murmured to himself: "You see their investigation results."
The situation in Shandong is indeed not optimistic, and public security is strengthened every year. As a result, the Eighth Route Army has increased and the Communist Party’s anti-Japanese bases have become larger and larger. However, the Japanese army has begun to shrink and can only barely maintain large cities and main transportation lines. Many Japanese strongholds dare not go out after dark, and outside has completely become the world of the Eighth Route Army.
After Guo Tongzhen returned, he asked Zhou Changfu to officially start the investigation.
Zhou Changfu went directly to the Ninth Regiment and found relevant personnel to ask questions. He quickly got the results. The so-called new officers were sent from the Army Command.
This made Guo Tongzhen very dissatisfied: "What did you do? How could the officer sent by the headquarters mistakenly think that he was a cadre of the Eighth Route Army?"
Zhou Changfu said: "Captain Guo, I want to apply for some money and install a few insiders in the Ninth Regiment."
Following Guo Tongzhen, it’s actually better to lose. Not only is it dangerous, but life is also tight.
Guo Tongzhen said: "It's too late, please invite them to a meal."
Zhou Changfu said: "They all have to smoke after dinner."
Eating is just a small amount of money, but the real money is the money for smoking.
