"Tell me, which case is it?" Shen Le asked.
"It's quite a coincidence, but that case is also directly related to Zhang Pei, Director, you must know about it too!" Wen Hao said with a slight smile, feigning mystery.
"I know that too? And you have direct contact with Zhang Pei?" Shen Le was also taken aback when she heard Wen Hao's words.
He wasn't upset that Wen Hao was keeping him in suspense. Wen Hao had been his old subordinate since 1923, not only his most capable assistant but also his brother of many years. Their relationship was that of teacher and friend, brother and brother, and they spoke very casually in private!
“Zhang Pei hasn’t been involved in any cases since he joined us. The only operation he ever took was when he orchestrated the arrest of underground party member Lu Guangran!” Shen Le racked his brains, analyzing carefully. “You mean the case involving Ma Hong two months ago?”
The case that Shen Le least wanted to mention was Ma Hong's. Not only did he not want to mention it, but all the high-ranking officials in the Central Party Headquarters Investigation Department did not want to mention the name "Ma Hong"!
Wen Hao was no exception. He shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with Ma Hong, but with Lu Guangran, an underground party member."
He continued, "The Military Intelligence Investigation Department quickly ascertained the identity of the underground party member who contacted Zhang Pei. This person was Lu Guangran, the head of the Second Section of the National Defense Department of the Ministry of Finance!"
"Of course I know that. Although our Central Party Affairs Investigation Department and Military Intelligence Investigation Department don't get along, to be honest, in just two days, with only a photo of the deceased, they found Lu Guangran's identity among the millions of people in Nanjing! The capabilities of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department are not to be underestimated!" Shen Le said with emotion.
As a veteran agent of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department, he watched as the Military Intelligence Investigation Department grew stronger and stronger day by day, while the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department was gradually overshadowed by it. He couldn't help but feel anxious and couldn't hide his disappointment!
"I heard that the person who personally arrested Lu Guangran was a young military officer, and it was he who found Lu Guangran's true identity in just two days. This person's name is Ning Zhiheng, and he just graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy!" Wen Hao nodded and said.
He continued, "In recent years, the Military Intelligence Investigation Department has intensified its efforts to select elite personnel from the military and military academies to replenish its ranks, adding many outstanding talents! Its strength is growing day by day. On the other hand, our Party Affairs Investigation Department has become stagnant and complacent in recent years!"
"Be careful what you say! Wen Hao, there are some things you shouldn't say. The higher-ups have their reasons. We should just focus on doing our own jobs!" Shen Le interrupted him.
In fact, the reason why the Military Intelligence Bureau's Investigation Department has been able to outmaneuver the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department in every aspect in recent years is that the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department has become increasingly powerful and uncontrollable, which has made President Chiang Kai-shek wary of it.
Therefore, the Military Intelligence Investigation Department was established as a balancing force, receiving strong support from all sides in terms of personnel, funding, authority, etc. With this balance, the Military Intelligence Investigation Department has now firmly gained the upper hand!
Wen Hao realized he had spoken out of turn, so he changed the subject and said, "After we learned of Lu Guangran's identity, we immediately conducted a thorough search of his office and his home."
Especially in his house, I found a hidden compartment behind the wardrobe, but the items inside had already been taken. This meant that someone had broken into Lu Guangran's house before me! Yet, at the time, we didn't find any trace of the intruder. The evidence was meticulously cleaned, just like the scene in the apartment today!
After listening to Wen Hao's analysis, Shen Le's eyes lit up, and she said, "So you think these two are the same person? In other words, as long as we pick up the thread of Lu Guangran again, it is very likely that we can bring out this mysterious murderer!"
"I can't be sure, but I'll follow this lead and try again to investigate the people around Lu Guangran. The person who entered Lu Guangran's house before me must be someone he knows."
We need to investigate his movements and preferences more thoroughly before his death, such as whether he preferred tea or fishing, alcohol or dancing, and so on. In short, he would have frequented certain places and interacted with certain groups of people. I have a hunch that this mysterious killer is hiding among these people.
Haha! Of course, it's also possible that I'll end up with nothing; this is just my gut feeling!
“No, cherish your intuition and trust it. This is crucial for people in our line of work!” Shen Le said firmly.
In a secluded basement, Fang Boyi, the No. 1 member of the Nanjing Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Wu Quanjiang, a member of the Provincial Committee, sat facing each other.
With a look of shame, Wu Quanjiang said, "Old Fang, I'm sorry! My exposure this time has caused great harm to the organization. We have to give up the traditional Chinese medicine shop that we have worked so hard to build up over the years. I request the Party organization to punish me!"
Fang Boyi reached out to stop Wu Quanjiang from saying anything more, and said sincerely, "Old Wu, we revolutionary comrades don't need to say sorry to each other. Your safe return is the most important thing!"
"How badly is Ding Yuan injured?" Wu Quanjiang asked, very worried about Ding Yuan, who was wounded while rescuing him.
"Don't worry! It didn't hit any vital organs, the bullet has been removed, and after some rest, you'll be fine!" Fang Boyi said with a smile!
"How is the comrade who rescued us and covered our evacuation? We owe him a great debt! After we left, we don't know if he escaped safely or not?" Wu Quanjiang asked again.
This situation was extremely critical. Their safe escape was entirely due to the masked gunman who suddenly appeared and turned the tide, causing chaos among the agents of the Party Affairs Investigation Department. He single-handedly reversed the entire situation.
