As soon as Chu Yuntian finished speaking, two people stepped forward, lifted up Luo Mingzhang, and tied him to a pillar without saying a word.

Luo Mingzhang shouted anxiously:

"Deputy Station Master, I am innocent. You cannot treat me like this. I have done nothing wrong to the Party and the country."

Chu Yuntian did not answer, but nodded to the two people beside Luo Mingzhang. The two people immediately picked up whips and began to whip Luo Mingzhang severely.

Luo Mingzhang was able to hold on at first, not making a sound, but after a few minutes, he began to scream.

After a few more minutes, the screams became quieter and quieter. His body was now covered in flesh and skin. His head drooped limply on his chest and he let out slight moans from his mouth, but he still showed no sign of trying to surrender.

Chu Yuntian frowned. This guy was really stubborn. He wanted to increase the punishment, but after thinking about it, he decided to be more cautious.

After all, there is no solid evidence. If he refuses to confess and his sentence is increased, it would not be good to beat him up if he really did not lie. After all, he is a captain.

What's more, the other four people cannot be ruled out as suspects.

Of course, there is another possibility. Zhou Yuanju did not see any of these five people, and Yuan Ye’s information only said that Zhou Yuanju was looking for them, but he was not sure whether he had found them.

However, it is better to believe this kind of thing is true than not. It concerns the safety of the entire Shanghai Station and we cannot take any chances.

He will be leaving the day after tomorrow, and time is running out. How can he resolve such a complicated situation in such a short time? If this hidden danger cannot be eliminated, how can he leave with peace of mind?

Even if he wanted to leave, the webmaster probably wouldn't agree.

He sighed inwardly. It was completely impossible to find this person in such a short time. It seemed that he could not leave all of a sudden.

He thought about it and realized that there was no other way at the moment. The most urgent task was to isolate the other four people together and cut off their contact with the outside world. This would reduce the danger at the Shanghai station.

Although the work at Shanghai Station will be greatly affected, it is still worth it considering the safety of Shanghai Station.

He could carry out the investigation while hoping that Yuan Ye could get accurate information as soon as possible.

Otherwise, as long as this matter is not investigated, Shanghai Station will not have peace and he will not be able to leave.

……

No. 76 Jisi Feier Road.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, several black cars drove into the compound of the secret service headquarters and stopped in front of the welcoming crowd in front of the office building.

Li Qunshi, along with a group of senior and junior cadres, lined up to greet them. After the cars stopped, a middle-aged man in a white suit and looking energetic got out of the second car.

Li Qunshi immediately greeted him with a smile and said:

"Hello, Chairman Wang!"

There was immediate applause and cheers behind me.

"Welcome Chairman Wang!"

"Wang Jingwei" waved to everyone. He was a person Li Qunshi specially found who looked very similar to Wang Jingwei. People who were not familiar with Wang Jingwei could not tell him apart at all, let alone the people from the secret service headquarters.

He shook hands with Li Qunshi and exchanged a few words. Li Qunshi introduced him to several key cadres behind him, and he cordially shook hands with each of them.

Yang Yiming was also in the welcoming queue, but due to his rank he was not qualified to shake hands with Wang Jingwei.

Like others who welcomed Wang Jingwei, he had temporarily surrendered his pistol.

But he also had a pistol, which was very small, commonly known as a "palm bomb" and could be easily hidden on the body. It was brought into No. 76 by Zhang Lan secretly. The bullets given to him were all poisoned. Even if Wang Jingwei could not be killed, as long as he was injured, he would surely die.

Yang Yiming did not hide it on his body, because he had already received the news and knew that this was a trap. The Wang Jingwei who appeared now was a fake, and the real Wang Jingwei would not come to No. 76 until tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning is the time for him to take action.

Now he just needs to watch the play quietly and play the role of an actor like everyone else.

When the entire inspection was over, "Wang Jingwei" said goodbye to everyone and got into the car and left. The assassination that Li Qunshi hoped for did not happen, and Li Qunshi was a little disappointed this time.

The trap that I carefully prepared didn't work. What on earth happened?

Were Section Chief Nanyun and I overthinking? Were there no anti-Japanese elements lurking in No. 76?

Or was there a problem in some link and the information was leaked?

He didn't quite believe the first possibility and was more inclined to believe that the news had leaked. However, only a very few people knew about this. Could it be that one of these people leaked it?

Of course, there is also a possibility that the hidden traitor saw the flaw and therefore did not take action.

He doesn't have the time and energy to check now. Wang Jingwei will come to inspect tomorrow morning. The anti-Japanese elements did not take the bait today. He must filter tomorrow's security plan again and strengthen it further to ensure that there are no mistakes.

Of course, Zhang Lan also felt puzzled. She didn't know why Yang Yiming didn't take any action?

Is there no chance to take action?

Or was Yang Yiming scared and gave up the action?

She was lost in thought in the infirmary, waiting for Yang Yiming to come and report the situation, but until the evening, Yang Yiming did not come to see her.

What she didn't know was that Yang Yiming thought the note was from her. She knew it, so she didn't come to find her.

Zhang Lan thought that if there was no chance to take action, he should explain the situation so that she could explain it to her superiors.

Could it be that Yang Yiming really gave up the action because of fear, and was too embarrassed to come and see her?

It seems that I really misjudged him. I respected him very much before and thought he was a man of strong character, but I didn't expect that he was such a coward.

If he didn't come to report the situation in the evening, she decided to report the matter to her superiors tomorrow.

……

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Yuan Ye drove to Su Xiwu's residence on time and picked up Su Xiwu. He saw that Su Xiwu was holding a beautifully decorated long box in his hand. He guessed that it should be the original painting and calligraphy by Tang Yin that he promised to give to Iwai Yuichi.

They soon arrived at the Iwai Residence, but the officer on duty did not take them to see Iwai Yuichi. Instead, he took them to the waiting room next to Iwai Yuichi's office and said:

"Mayor Su, please wait a moment. Just a few minutes ago, Mr. Iwai had a visitor. He will see you as soon as the visitor leaves."

Yuan Ye was very curious about what kind of guest Yuichi Iwai had, so he began to listen to the noises coming from Yuichi Iwai's office.

What he didn't expect was that Iwai Yuichi's guests were Takemiya Yoshio, Nagumo Masako, and that Military Control Commission traitor Zhou Yuanju.

Yuan Ye wondered why they came to see Iwai Yuichi?

But what they said next surprised Yuan Ye.
