Phi-Fic Chapter 180 The Ghost Inside
Chapter 180 The Ghost Inside
Li Shaoyi never imagined that the office building of the Renaissance Society was actually in the compound of the Ministry of National Defense.
According to Li Shaoyi's idea, shouldn't it be an underground fortification in the suburbs?
Li Shaoyi soon realized what year it was. It was still the Kuomintang period. The Renaissance Society was no different from other major government offices of the Nationalist Government. The sign hanging on it now was the Intelligence Investigation Office of the Military Commission.
That is a formal government office, so of course they can have such an office building.
On the way, Boss Dai also told Li Shaoyi about the situation. Three days ago, a spy from Pujiang sent a telegram saying that a senior official of the Pujiang Municipal Government had surrendered to the enemy and committed treason, but the headquarters had not received the telegram at this moment.
The spy who sent the telegram from Pujiang is dead...
There is no doubt that this matter was definitely done by the Japanese. Other people in Pujiang got this news by chance. The senior officials of the Pujiang Municipal Government have been replaced, but who on earth withheld this telegram from the headquarters? This must be found out. If it cannot be found out, I am afraid that such things will happen again in the future.
For the Nationalist government, the high-level officials who betrayed the Pujiang Municipal Government should be the most important, but for the Renaissance Society, the Japanese spy hidden in the headquarters is the most important.
Boss Dai has gathered all the suspicious persons in the past few days, but there are more than a dozen of them, and they are all very important. If all of them are shot, the headquarters may be paralyzed, so this cannot be done.
In desperation, Boss Dai remembered what Gu Xiaoman had said in Beiping: if Li Shaoyi's men just hurry up, it would be easy. Thinking about Li Shaoyi's behavior on the road, he could only turn to Li Shaoyi for help. Li Shaoyi had just met with Minister Jia, and Boss Dai should have protected himself at this time. He must not get too close to Li Shaoyi, as this could easily lead to misunderstandings on the Minister Jia's side. However, such a big thing had happened at headquarters, and he had to give an explanation to the higher-ups. The people from the Sixth Division of the Attendant's Office would be arriving soon. If he didn't find the person tonight, he would be investigated tomorrow.
"Everyone should gather in the conference room on the first floor. Those who are not related should stay in their offices. Military police will be stationed on each floor to guard them. No one will be allowed to leave their offices."
When getting off the bus, Li Shaoyi told Boss Dai about his plan. It was hard to say how many traitors there were in the Renaissance Society.
Some people may be loyal now, but they betrayed their country during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Li Shaoyi doesn't trust this place very much, so he has to do things his own way. If someone shoots you in the back when you are identifying a spy, I only have one life left.
Boss Dai nodded and began to give orders to Secretary Mao beside him. These were all important people. Li Shaoyi also took a closer look and found that he was indeed a fat man.
In less than five minutes, the thirteen suspects were taken to the conference room on the first floor. Hundreds of military police also rushed into the building and stood guard with guns on each floor. No one was allowed to leave their office without orders, and all firearms of the office staff were confiscated.
This was the first major leak of secrets that occurred since the establishment of the Renaissance Society, so Boss Dai was very angry.
There is a Japanese spy next to me. If I don't dig you out, no matter what I do in the future, I will be under the Japanese's surveillance. This is absolutely not acceptable.
"Captain Li, here are the information on the dozen or so people inside."
Secretary Mao brought over a stack of documents from the side. The people in it were from all walks of life. Some were soldiers standing guard at the door of the confidential office, and some were overseas Chinese who returned to serve their country.
There are also some people with strong backgrounds, even the third-ranked figure in the Renaissance Society is on the list.
These people were implicated in the telegram and even had the opportunity to destroy it.
When Li Shaoyi pushed the door open, he saw all kinds of expressions on the faces of more than a dozen people. Some looked very panicked, while others looked very calm. However, Li Shaoyi did not look at the expressions on their faces, but at the color of the ground under their feet.
Fuck...
Li Shaoyi originally thought that if he saw anyone with a red color, he would just drag them out for a large-scale interrogation, but he didn't expect that there was no red among the people here. Most of them were light yellow, and the few that were there were light green.
This shows that there are no Japanese spies here, or people who have been bribed by Japan.
“No one is in this office.”
Li Shaoyi stayed in there for less than twenty seconds and immediately walked out.
Hearing the news about Li Shaoyi, Boss Dai was both happy and puzzled.
What makes me happy is that the people inside are very important and can be considered his direct subordinates. The traitor is not among them. That is indeed a happy thing, but what makes me puzzled is that all the people who have come into contact with the telegram are inside. You say it is not these people, so who is the traitor?
Clearing these people's innocence is definitely not what Boss Dai wants. Instead, he must catch this traitor and give an explanation to his superiors. He has been busy for several days and even the suspect is wrong. If this news gets out, his position will be in jeopardy.
"Don't worry, Mr. Dai. Since I've already promised you, and I also want to be the station chief of several stations in the north, as long as the person is still in this building, I will definitely help you catch him. Then expand the scope from these dozen people."
Li Shaoyi didn't want this matter to end like this. Wouldn't the promise he made to him be in vain?
"That's everyone on the third floor, and the staff in my office."
Boss Dai thought for a moment and immediately expanded the range by more than two times.
“Start with the staff in your office.”
There is no problem with Boss Dai and Secretary Mao.
But there are more than a dozen staff members under the two of them, and these people may also have access to confidential telegrams.
The people in Pujiang sent the telegram back, and someone must have received it. But now those who have access to the telegraph machine all say that they have never received this telegram. So we have to see who took the opportunity to receive it.
More than a dozen staff members under Boss Dai all ran to the first floor. After seeing Boss Dai nod, Li Shaoyi knew that everyone was here. Most of these people were yellow, and their attitude towards Li Shaoyi was just like a stranger. There were no red ones.
"Go to the third floor."
The largest-scale investigation was about to begin. Since everyone in Boss Dai's office was fine, everyone on the entire third floor would be investigated...
