If they are our own people, there must be some misunderstanding. If these people are enemies, then there is clearly something wrong with Deputy Station Master Chu.

He struggled for a moment and asked:

"Who are you and why are you arresting me?"

Those men just held him tightly without answering, obviously waiting for someone to come.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door and someone in the house hurried out to open it.

After a while, Chu Yuntian walked in.

After he observed that there was no one following Luo Mingzhang and found nothing unusual around him, he felt relieved and came down from the teahouse opposite and returned to the safe house.

As soon as Luo Mingzhang saw Chu Yuntian, he felt like he had found a life-saving straw and immediately shouted:

"Deputy Station Master Chu, what is going on?"

Chu Yuntian said expressionlessly:

"You'll find out later."

Then he waved to the people around him and said:

"Take him down to the basement."

The crowd went down a narrow staircase to the basement, which was dark and damp. This was where the Operations Department of the Shanghai Station interrogated prisoners.

As soon as Chu Yuntian sat down, Luo Mingzhang couldn't wait to say:

"Deputy Station Master Chu, is there any misunderstanding?"

Chu Yuntian smiled and said:

"Captain Luo, I also hope this is a misunderstanding. As long as you answer my questions truthfully, I think the misunderstanding will be resolved."

"Okay, ask me, and I will answer you truthfully."

Luo Mingzhang also began to calm down slowly. He was confident that he had never done anything to betray the organization and there was nothing to be afraid of.

He guessed that something must have happened at the Shanghai station, which implicated him and caused the organization to become suspicious of him. He was now facing the organization's scrutiny instead of falling into the hands of the enemy.

This was also his first time experiencing this form of scrutiny, and he was still a little nervous.

Chu Yuntian glanced at Luo Mingzhang and said casually:

"Don't be nervous, just think of it as a chat.

I heard you like dancing, right?"

Luo Mingzhang was shocked. How did the deputy station chief know that he liked dancing? What did he mean by asking this?

What does this have to do with censorship?

He also knew that going out dancing frequently was against discipline, but he had never told anyone. Could it be that Deputy Station Master Chu knew about it?

This is just a minor mistake. At most he should be criticized and educated, but there is no need to arrest him and investigate him.

It shouldn't be that simple.

Luo Mingzhang said uneasily:

"I am a bit fond of dancing, and sometimes I can't help but go to the dance hall to dance privately to relax. This is indeed a violation of discipline. I reflect on it and promise not to do it again in the future."

Chu Yuntian thought, it seems that what the headquarters said in the telegram was true, he really liked dancing, and he even violated discipline, giving Zhou Yuanju the opportunity to find him and bringing danger to the Shanghai station. How abominable and hateful!

But now is not the time to investigate. He has more important things to investigate right now. We will investigate together then.

Chu Yuntian suppressed the anger in his heart and said:

"You violated the discipline, but you took the initiative to confess, which shows that your attitude is still very good. I hope you will continue to maintain this attitude.

Now let me ask you, did you go dancing last night? Did you meet Zhou Yuanju while dancing?

I hope you won’t hide anything from the organization and tell the truth!”

Luo Mingzhang was surprised. He finally knew the reason for the investigation. It turned out that he was suspected of meeting Zhou Yuanju.

He knew that Zhou Yuanju had defected from the mountain city and might come to Shanghai, because the Shanghai Station had informed him that if this traitor was found, he would be killed without mercy!

Did Zhou Yuanju really go to Shanghai?

But when he came to Shanghai, he didn't know him at all and had never seen him.

But why did the organization think that he went to see Zhou Yuanju? Isn't this an injustice to him?

He said quickly:

"Deputy Station Master, I haven't met Zhou Yuanju, and I didn't go dancing last night."

Chu Yuntian sneered:

"I got accurate information that Zhou Yuanju has surrendered to the Japanese, and he went to the dance hall to find you last night.

The reason why he is looking for you is because you have a good relationship. He wants to incite you to defect and destroy the Shanghai Station in order to gain credit and reward from the Japanese.

And from what I understand, he was seen finding you.

Now you deny it and say you didn't go dancing last night.

Okay, how do you prove that you didn't go dancing yesterday?

As long as you can prove it, I will believe you!"

Chu Yuntian said that someone saw Zhou Yuanju find Luo Mingzhang. In fact, he was not sure. He was just trying to trick Luo Mingzhang to see his reaction.

Luo Mingzhang's face turned pale. He didn't go there at all. How could anyone see Zhou Yuanju meeting him?

The most troublesome thing was that he had no way of proving that he did not go to the dance hall last night. He lived alone and always went there secretly alone. Moreover, he went to a different dance hall every time. In order not to attract attention, he was very low-key and no one in the dance hall knew him.

He had no choice but to say:

“I have no way to prove it, but I am telling the truth. I really didn’t go to the dance hall last night. If I told a lie, you can shoot me.

You said someone saw Zhou Yuanju meeting me. Is it possible that this person was mistaken, and the person he met was not me, but someone else in the station?

There were five people who were transferred from the Operations Department to the Shanghai Station with me, and Zhou Yuanju also knew them, so why couldn't it be one of them?

How can you guarantee that one of them will occasionally sneak to the dance hall to have fun?"

Chu Yuntian was stunned for a moment. What Luo Mingzhang said made sense. This was also possible.

If this is the case, things will become complicated. With four more suspects at once, identification will become more difficult. I don’t know how long it will take. I may not be able to leave until the day after tomorrow.

As long as the real traitor is not identified, the danger at Shanghai Station cannot be eliminated and work cannot be carried out.

Chu Yuntian felt that his pressure had become even greater. He thought that the most urgent task now was to break through Luo Mingzhang.

He is the biggest suspect. He cannot prove that he did not go to the dance hall last night. This statement is more likely to drag others into it, muddy the waters and take the opportunity to exonerate himself.

If this is true, then doesn't it mean that there is something wrong with Yuan Ye's intelligence? The intelligence clearly shows that Zhou Yuanju is looking for the person who likes to dance, and the telegram from headquarters also directly points out that Luo Mingzhang is the person who likes to dance. What's more important is that Luo Mingzhang and Zhou Yuanju have a good relationship.

When Chu Yuntian thought of this, he stopped thinking about it and decided to do something about Luo Mingzhang, otherwise he would not tell the truth.

He sneered:

"Captain Luo, it seems that you are unwilling to tell the truth, so don't blame me for being ruthless.

Come, greet Captain Luo."
