Chapter 1656: Get to the bottom of it
chongqing.
It was drizzling, and Dai Chunfeng was pacing on the second-floor balcony, looking at the raindrops in the air and was absent-minded for a moment.
There were footsteps behind me.
"Yu Lin." Chen Hua gently helped her put on her coat, "Qi Wu and Yu Ping'an are here."
"Two of them came together?" Dai Chunfeng asked in surprise.
"They are in the living room." Chen Hua said.
Dai Chunfeng thought for a moment and said, "Please arrange for a pot of good tea first, I'll be down right away."
"clear."
……
"Seat."
"Seat."
Seeing Dai Chunfeng coming down, Qi Wu and Yu Ping'an quickly got up.
"Sit down and talk." Dai Chunfeng nodded slightly.
He glanced at Chen Hua, who tactfully withdrew and also evacuated the rest of the people.
"Bingyan, is there any progress?" Dai Chunfeng asked Yu Ping'an.
"Currently, clues point to Qi Huanji, director of Chaotianmen Police Station," said Yu Ping'an.
"Tell me about this person."
"Qi Huanji, a native of Hankou, was formerly an officer in the Anti-smuggling Section of the Hankou Police Department. After the Battle of Wuhan, the Kuomintang government moved its capital from Wuhan to Chongqing. After Qi Huanji arrived in Chongqing, he was assigned to the Chaotianmen Police Station." Yu Ping'an said.
"Whose path are you following?" Dai Chunfeng asked immediately.
"It is said that this person is a distant relative of Ma Xiaoqin, director of the Third Division of the Central Bureau of Investigation in Chongqing." Yu Ping'an said.
……
Just last year, a sensational case occurred during a routine patrol in Chongqing to capture traitors.
A middle-aged intellectual couple, with their seven or eight-year-old daughter, came to Chongqing to seek refuge.
When getting off the boat at Chaotianmen, the little girl accidentally broke the thermos bottle she had brought all the way from Wuhan to Chongqing because of the crowded crowd.
This was originally a common occurrence.
Police from the Chaotianmen Police Station and members of the Military Control Commission who were conducting a joint search immediately surrounded them. Someone pointed out that the little girl had deliberately broken the thermos, and her real purpose was to use the light refracted by the thermos to send signals to Japanese bombers.
Afterwards, the inspectors ignored the child's parents' explanation that "the child accidentally broke the thermos" and arrested the family of three.
Because the Japanese bombing of Chongqing became more and more severe, and there were traitors on the ground guiding the Japanese bombers, so that the Japanese bombing targets were clear and Chongqing suffered huge losses, the principal called Dai Chunfeng to the Huangshan official residence and scolded him, and asked the Military Control Commission to investigate the spies strictly.
This time, a traitor who provided guidance signals to the Japanese bombers was caught. The Chongqing Court quickly tried the case and charged it with treason.
……
As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
Many knowledgeable people jointly wrote a letter to the government, requesting it to re-examine the case and not to wrongly accuse innocent people.
Some pilots from the flight brigade even used their own personal experiences to prove the little girl's innocence.
Chongqing is surrounded by mountains. If an airplane wants to fly without obstacles, it needs to fly at an altitude of at least three thousand meters.
At such a height, it is basically impossible to see the reflective debris on the ground as a guide.
In court, the girl's father tearfully accused the Kuomintang government of corruption and indiscriminate killing of innocent people. He said that his entire family had ruined their home and donated all their property to save the country. His two sons and one daughter also died in the Japanese air raid in the Battle of Wuhan. This family with a blood feud with Japan was wrongly accused of being traitors. It turned out that the Kuomintang government was still the corrupt government. They should have gone to Yanzhou instead of coming to Chongqing.
Subsequently, the judge convicted the family of three of treason.
After the trial, the family of three was told that they were in custody, but in fact they were soon executed in secret.
This incident happened nearly half a year ago, but it was recently exposed. The Red Party strongly criticized the Kuomintang government for falsely accusing patriotic people of being traitors and taking human lives lightly.
In the Red Party's newspaper, some evidence of the case was directly published, pointing out that it was the Military Intelligence Bureau that forged the confessions of the little girl and her family of three who admitted that they had been guided by the Japanese army many times. This incident caused the newspapers to criticize the Military Intelligence Bureau.
The old man also called him to his official residence and scolded him again.
……
"Let's check it out." Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly, "I want to see who is framing me!"
The Military Control Commission was investigating traitors, and there might be innocent people, or even dead people. Dai Chunfeng wouldn't care. However, if there was someone behind this, he would not tolerate it.
"This matter itself is quite strange. A seven or eight-year-old girl is a traitor. This matter is already very controversial and can arouse heated public discussion." Yu Ping'an pondered and said, "Now many people are scolding us."
"The more outrageous things are, the more they are pushed forward and the more they can cause public opinion to boil over," he said to Dai Chunfeng. "I have carefully checked the recently approved reports on the execution of traitors and found that some of them are indeed insufficiently supported by evidence."
"There is a characteristic," Yu Ping'an said. "Some ordinary citizens were identified as traitors, which caused panic among the citizens. When we were searching for traitors, the citizens dared not speak out, fearing that they would harm their neighbors and relatives."
"I've noticed this situation, too." Qi Wu said, "Now Brother Bingyan and I both suspect that it's the real Japanese traitors who are deliberately creating chaos and leading the people to oppose and panic."
"Then investigate!" Dai Chunfeng said coldly, "Use Qi Huanji and Ma Xiaoqin as the breakthrough point!"
"Yes!"
"clear."
……
"Do you think Xue Yingzeng is behind this?" Dai Chunfeng suddenly asked.
"It's hard to say." Qi Wu said.
"There is no substantial evidence yet." Yu Ping'an said, "However, Qi Huanji has Ma Xiaoqin's connections behind him, so it's hard to say."
"Let's get to the bottom of this matter." Dai Chunfeng said to Yu Ping'an, "I'll trouble Brother Bingyan to take care of this matter."
"It's my job." Yu Ping'an said.
Then he said goodbye in a hurry.
……
"Execute Li Gang secretly." Dai Chunfeng said to Qi Wu with a gloomy face, "Tell the public that Li Gang died fighting against the Japanese."
"I understand." Qi Wu nodded.
The Chaotianmen Thermos bottle traitor incident is shrouded in mystery, but one thing is certain. After the Military Control Commission officer Li Gang led his men to arrest the family of three, he privately extorted money from them. After being rejected, the matter of the family of three's collusion with Japan was brought to the court for trial at an astonishing speed.
After that, it's not that no one found out about Li Gang's extortion, but, perhaps out of shame, the relevant personnel pretended not to see it and watched the case being judged and the "criminal" being executed in secret, until now the matter was known and exposed by the Red Party.
"You don't have to be too angry, Director." Qi Wu said, "This is a traitor behind the scenes."
He knew in his heart that the real reason why the family of three was secretly executed was that the girl's father publicly criticized the National Government in court and even expressed that Yanzhou was better than Chongqing. This angered the higher-ups. In fact, the family of three was secretly executed on the charge of "collaborating with bandits" and their bodies were destroyed.
"The traitors didn't force them to extort money, did they?" Dai Chunfeng said unhappily.
When the Military Control Commission personnel were arresting traitors, they sometimes took the opportunity to extort innocent citizens. This had repeatedly drawn criticism and accusations from dissident party members.
"The Red Party curses the Central Bureau of Investigation more." Qi Wu said suddenly.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to compare who's worse?" Dai Chunfeng glared at Qi Wu, but he did some calculations in his mind. It seemed that Xue Yingzeng's people were being scolded more in the newspapers recently. He felt a little better for some reason.
"The Japanese are cunning, they are trying to fish in troubled waters." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice, "Catch those who should be arrested, kill those who should be killed, and if I encounter a tough one, I will kill it myself!"
"Yes!"
……
"What are you here for?" Dai Chunfeng then asked Qi Wu.
"Bluebird called." Qi Wu took out a telegram from his briefcase and handed it to Dai Chunfeng. "He is in Nanjing now."
"Nanjing, what is he going to Nanjing for?" Dai Chunfeng asked casually after taking the telegram.
After reading the telegram in his hand, Dai Chunfeng fell into deep thought.
Cheng Qianfan called to report that Chu Mingyu had called him to Nanjing, trying to use his personal friendship with Imamura Heitaro to persuade the Japanese side to publicly recognize the Wang Puppet Regime as soon as possible.
In the telegram, Cheng Qianfan reported that the Wang Puppet Regime was very anxious about Japan's delay in publicly recognizing it, and was now doing everything it could to seek Japan's immediate recognition.
At the end of the telegram, Cheng Qianfan asked whether we should find ways to sabotage and delay the process of the Japanese publicly recognizing the Wang Puppet Regime.
"How is the contact between that group of people in Hong Kong and the Japanese going?" Dai Chunfeng asked Qi Wu.
