Chapter 190: Linked to each other
“Chang Hai, follow me to the study room.”
After returning home, Tong Changming shouted coldly, and Tong Changhai followed him in honestly.
At this time, he was a little scared. Before, he only thought about money, and thought that Fang Laibao was right. He was giving the two brothers a chance to make a fortune together.
But seeing his eldest brother's expression, he finally realized that something was wrong.
"Crack."
As soon as he entered the study, Tong Changming suddenly slapped Tong Changhai with a big slap, which made Tong Changhai dizzy.
One slap was not enough, so Tong Changming gave him another big mouth.
"Brother, why did you hit me?"
Tong Changhai was stunned, and after a while he said blankly, but Tong Changming's face was full of pain, his brother didn't know why he hit him?
"Hitting you is a minor offense. Do you know that what you did will kill our whole family?"
Tong Changming shouted angrily that with what he was doing now, as long as he did not agree to the Military Intelligence Office, he would definitely die.
The younger brother has no value and is an abandoned son to the Military Intelligence Office. He has leaked top-secret information and his own director will not spare him.
You will also be unlucky for yourself.
As long as he doesn't agree, he will die.
"How is it possible? Fang Laibao told me that the matter is very simple and nothing will happen to him. He just buys things we know."
Hearing his explanation, Tong Changming almost fainted. This idiot still trusts others so much that he doesn't even know he was betrayed.
"Do you know who he is? He is a secret agent, an agent of the Intelligence Division. He kills people without blinking an eye. Will he be fine?"
"You actually said that nothing would happen. The things you said are already a death penalty. If I protect myself, you will be finished soon."
Tong Changming yelled that he was really going to be killed by his own brother this time. If he didn't agree to the Military Intelligence Office, he would not be the only one to die. Xu Zhanjie said that three people in his family were bribed.
These three people were threatening him.
I agreed, and it’s okay now, but something will probably happen in the future.
The Military Intelligence Office had just executed a deputy section chief. He now understood that the Military Intelligence Office deliberately used the person's body to retaliate.
The deputy section chief of the Military Intelligence Department was the one whose sister was controlled and dragged into the trap by Tan Xianglin.
Luan Ziping's previous existence was a secret, but after he was found and executed, the secret was leaked.
He is a senior member of the Party Affairs Investigation Department and knows about this matter.
"Brother, what you said is true. Is he lying to me?"
Tong Changhai was even more frightened and asked tremblingly. Tong Changming looked at him, his heart suddenly hurt.
"Brother, I will return the money to them. I don't want the money anymore."
His brother said it was so serious, how could Tong Changhai still want to ask for money? Although he was reluctant to part with so much money, fortunately he did not spend it randomly and was able to return it.
"Retreat, you can double the amount now. If you retreat ten times, no one will want it."
Tong Changming was helpless. His younger brother was uneducated and didn't understand anything. He thought it would be fine if he returned the money.
It's better if you don't refund this money, but if you do, you'll be doomed immediately.
"Go out and let me think about it."
Tong Changming sat down on the chair. He was greedy for money, but he knew that there was some money that he couldn't take.
It's a pity that there is no way now. People are just knives and I am fish and meat.
Even if you let your younger brothers and sisters run away, it's useless. Besides, they can run anywhere. A few of them are uneducated and they are likely to be detected by the military intelligence service at home. If they go abroad, they will be unfamiliar with the place and it will be difficult for them to find a way out.
Besides, he has no confidence that he can send his younger brothers and sisters away now.
Since the Military Intelligence Office had openly talked to him, it would definitely be on guard.
If he agrees, Luan Ziping will learn from his mistakes again. The Military Intelligence Department is so hateful, why should they keep an eye on him?
After thinking about it, Tong Changming’s mind was in confusion and he still couldn’t make up his mind.
In the Military Intelligence Department, after Xu Zhanjie returned, he called Xu Qingyun into the office alone.
"Qingyun, Tong Changming said they arrested him in Chu County."
"Chu County?"
Xu Qingyun was stunned for a moment. At this time, the place name was slightly different from that of later generations. Chu County was actually Chuzhou. It was a prefecture before, but now it is a county.
Chu County is not far from Quanjiao, and later belonged to the same city.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhanjie couldn't help asking when he saw his expression was different.
"By coincidence, we found a suspect at the Transportation Bureau. He had Japanese yen in his hand. Yan Ming and the others have gone to investigate in detail. His hometown is in Quanjiao, just south of Chu County, not far away."
Xu Zhanjie was startled for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, God help me, I just take this opportunity, you go to Quanjiao to handle the case immediately."
The distance between Quanjiao and Chu County gave them enough reason, and this was a real suspect.
If his identity as a traitor is confirmed, no one will be able to say anything by then. Including Mr. Xu, I am afraid they will all believe that they have really found out about the Red Party.
"yes."
Their case is good in Quanjiao, but Quanjiao is very close to Chu County. The reason why they found out the clues of the Red Party is very simple.
Something happened to someone, and the Red Party members in Chu County ran to Quanjiao to take shelter temporarily.
This is completely normal. When someone around you is caught or disappears, hiding immediately is the most basic reaction.
Xu Qingyun returned to the office and immediately called Yan Ming.
Yan Ming needs to do this in person before Xu Qingyun can feel relieved.
Yanming is smart and can get things done.
It just so happens that this case belongs to Dai Jieying. Now that important clues have been found, it makes sense for Yan Ming to go to the suspect's hometown to investigate.
"Get ready immediately and go to Quanjiao to check the financial situation of Yuan Wanchun's family."
"Go to Quanjiao, me?"
Yan Ming was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Wanchun's family was normal. If the team leader hadn't ordered him not to send people out for the time being, he would have sent people to Quanjiao to investigate yesterday.
"Yes, you must go. I have a task for you..."
Xu Qingyun finally told him the truth about the mission, but he didn't go into too much detail. First of all, he didn't talk about the Party Affairs Investigation Department's arrest of red party members.
This is a secret and Xu Qingyun will not leak it casually, not even to Yan Ming.
"I understand, team leader, don't worry, just leave it to me." After hearing the task, Yan Ming immediately responded.
"Don't tell anyone else about this, and it must be done well."
Xu Qingyun warned again that he believed that Yan Ming would not slack off and do a good job even if he did not explain the reasons.
"Don't worry, team leader, I will do it exactly as it is, so that no one can see anything unusual."
"Okay, go ahead."
Yan Ming quickly left, returned to the office, and immediately started thinking about this mission.
They found out that the Red Party was in a hurry and exposed the fact that one of their important figures was missing.
The hardest thing here is not being able to catch people.
There is no Red Party at all, and whether the people caught are dead or alive will not be explained at the time.
Xu Qingyun didn't want to kill innocent people in vain.
Replace them with damned villains, and no one will believe they are the Red Party.
Is it difficult or not? Xu Qingyun has confidence in Yan Ming. This kind of thing is not easy for others, but it is not difficult for Yan Ming.
Unknowingly, Yan Ming has become his most important right-hand man. In terms of role alone, he is even stronger than Fang Laibao.
Yan Ming hurried home, grabbed some changes of clothes, and rushed to Chu County with his people.
He heard what the team leader meant. This time he was leading people with strong operational abilities. He would do a good job and make everyone believe that they had found the clues to the Red Party themselves and could not see any flaws. After Yan Ming left, Xu Qingyun closed his eyes and meditated.
He has completed the first step and temporarily saved his comrade's life, but his danger has not been eliminated.
Later Xu Qingyun was a party member. For him, all party members were his comrades at any time.
There is no need to be too hasty in rescuing people. At this time, the comrade is recovering from his injuries. Now that he is rescued, we must also find a place to help him recover.
After Tong Changming is completely instigated to rebel, he can learn about the situation of his comrades at any time.
Xu Qingyun would not be stupid enough to ask directly. After Yan Ming got the results, Xu Zhanjie would definitely ask about the recent performance of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, and then he would know the details of the comrades.
It is not difficult to learn about his situation through side conversations.
For example, if you ask Old Ghost Xu what the outcome of his interrogation was, and whether he was tortured or induced to confess, you can infer his body, attitude, etc.
A truly good intelligence agent never takes the initiative to ask for the answer he wants.
By reasoning through relevant questions, you can get the desired results.
At this time, Tong Changming still couldn't make up his mind.
Unfortunately, the Military Intelligence Office only gave him three days.
The next afternoon, Tong Changming suddenly received a note asking him to go to a house.
After hesitating for half an hour, Tong Changming came to the place alone.
Take the key with you when you give him the note.
He opened the door himself and walked in. It was clean inside and there weren't many things, but there was a tape recorder and a piece of paper on the table.
There is writing on the note. If you agree, write a letter of allegiance here. If you don't agree, just leave.
The tape recorder was very large, a bit like the movie players of later generations. The audio tapes of this period were also not small, not at all the small and exquisite ones of later generations, and there was no recorder that could be hidden at any time.
Tong Changming knew how to use it, so he walked over and turned the play button.
His eyes immediately tightened.
There was the sound of chatting between him and Xu Zhanjie, especially the last sentence. He told Xu Zhanjie that he was a red party member caught in Chu County.
At this time, he finally understood why Xu Zhanjie asked such a meaningless question.
As long as he answered, he would be betraying.
Damn the Military Intelligence Department, damn Xu Zhanjie, they are despicable and vile, they are absolutely scoundrels. With this recording, he can’t agree even if he wants to. When Old Ghost Xu hears it, he won’t believe any of his explanations and will only identify him. betray.
Soon Tong Changming sat slumped on the sofa.
He understood that he had no choice.
He thought of running away, but even if he ran away, it was not possible now. People from the Military Intelligence Department would definitely be watching him. If he dared to run away, neither the Military Intelligence Department nor the Party Affairs Investigation Department would spare him.
Besides, if he runs away, what will happen to his younger siblings?
Even if you run away, you must take them all with you.
And how to live after going out?
He made a lot of money, but it was not enough for their large family, so they had to find a way to get more money.
Tong Changming raised his head.
He thought of the box Xu Zhanjie brought to him.
"Damn it."
Tong Changming slammed the table, and he finally realized that the Military Intelligence Office had been setting a trap for him from the beginning, one after another.
Linked together.
He was completely led by the military intelligence department, and all his reactions were even expected.
Especially when he answered Xu Zhanjie's question, he was so confused at the time that he didn't think much about it. Only now did he understand the trap, but he fell into it stupidly.
Even if he wanted to run away, the Military Intelligence Office had calculated it.
If he wants to run away, he must ask for more money.
Only by agreeing to the Military Intelligence Service could he get thirty gold bars.
That's three hundred taels of gold, nearly ten thousand oceans.
Converted to US dollars, it's about four thousand. With this money, he can live no matter where he goes.
However, he understood that even after taking the money, he could not leave. Since the Military Intelligence Office had calculated this, it was impossible not to take precautions.
If he steps on the front foot, he will be finished on the back foot.
A feeling of powerlessness instantly filled his body.
At this time, he no longer had so much resentment towards his second brother. The Military Intelligence Department's methods were extraordinary, and even he couldn't resist it. It was following the planned route step by step. It was completely impossible to guard against it. How could it be possible for his second brother to be illiterate? Hold it?
After standing up, Tong Changming came to the window and looked around.
He knew that people from the Military Intelligence Department must be watching him secretly.
It's a pity that he couldn't find where the person was.
Nor did the curtains fall.
Returning to the table, Tong Changming finally picked up the pen and copied it by himself according to the pattern of the letter of allegiance. Finally, he wrote his name and fingerprinted it.
This thing fell into the hands of the Military Intelligence Department, and there was no chance for him to turn around.
It's a pity that he had no choice. Instead of agreeing to die immediately, he agreed to at least live for a while. During this period, he had to think carefully about his plan and try to escape.
It is estimated that Luan Ziping was in the same situation as him back then, and there was really no way around it.
Tong Changming is smarter than others, and he believes that the Military Intelligence Agency will not sacrifice him easily.
But as time went by, as long as something happened, he would be finished.
He needs to be more careful in the future, never reveal any flaws, and most importantly, secretly plan his escape.
And there must be no change now.
After pressing his fingerprints, Tong Changming immediately stood up, locked the door, and left quickly.
He guessed right, someone was watching him secretly, and Xu Zhanjie took Fang Laibao to watch in person.
"Section Chief, he has already written it. I'll go take a look." Fang Laibao said proactively after Tong Changming walked away.
"Go on, be careful, don't let him play tricks."
Xu Zhanjie nodded lightly. They had no trust in Tong Changming. Everything was about interests and leverage.
On the contrary, Tong Changming should hate them now, and safety cannot be careless.
This was also the reason why Fang Laibao took the initiative to ask to go. It was definitely impossible for Xu Zhanjie to go in person for such a thing.
"Yes, don't worry, I will pay attention."
Fang Laibao lowered his head and responded. After making sure that Tong Changming was far away, he immediately walked towards the safe house.
Inside the house, he saw the letter of allegiance copied by Tong Changming.
But I added a sentence at the end to ask them to keep their promise.
Tong Changming didn't know what he was going to do before he came. They wrote the letter of allegiance and asked Tong Changming to copy it. There was no one else in the room just now, so it must have been written by Tong Changming.
Even if he could guess that he was asked to write this thing, it would be impossible to prepare a letter of allegiance exactly like theirs in advance.
This letter of allegiance was written temporarily by Fang Laibao and was not a fixed pattern. Not to mention Tong Changming, even Fang Laibao himself could not write exactly the same content without copying.
