The walking posture of ordinary people is always somewhat different from that of people who have undergone rigorous military training. Trained soldiers walk with their chest out, head held high, and their posture upright. More importantly, when they walk, their toes point straighter than that of ordinary people. The advantage of walking like this is that with both feet parallel and forward, the lower abdomen can be naturally tightened, making the whole body upright and the neck naturally raised.
However, according to Zhang Puhe's description, although these two men did not have the upright posture of ordinary soldiers, the position of their toes did not resemble that of a casually behaving farmer.
Liao Qinglin pressed further, "How did these two people get into the police station?"
Zhang Puhe replied, "He was introduced by Chen Jiaping, the eldest son of Chen Ting, the leader of the Green Gang. When I went to pick him up today, he was sitting in Lei Daming's office."
Liao Qinglin said in a deep voice, "We must find out the identities of these two people and see what forces they belong to."
"Arrest them and interrogate them, then we'll know," one member said in a low voice.
"Don't act rashly. In Shanghai today, the forces are deeply entrenched, and it's hard for us to know whether they are friend or foe. Are these two people just farmers, as they claim? Or are they from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics? Or are they members of the underground Communist Party? Or perhaps they are Wang Hanmin's intelligence station? All of these are possible. We can think of planting spies in the police station, and they can also think of what to do if we clash with them and arrest their people. Should we kill them or release them?"
Kill them? They're all on the same side, it'd be turning on each other. Let them go? We've already exposed our tracks, wouldn't that be like revealing our weakness?
Of course, it's even more possible that they are the Japanese spies we're looking for! Then we can't act rashly. We need to follow the trail, find all the people behind them, and capture them all in the French Concession. Therefore, we must conduct a covert investigation to see who they are and ascertain their identities.
Liao Qinglin then turned to Zhang Puhe and said, "Go back to the police station and ask for more information, but be careful not to leave too much of a trace. I'll report to the team leader immediately and we'll investigate these two people from multiple angles and arrange for people to monitor them to see what kind of forces they belong to. Everyone needs to act immediately; time waits for no one!"
"Yes!" all the personnel answered in unison.
