Chapter 660 Yuan Ye in the Mountain City (3)
He chuckled and said:
"We've caught the man who killed Ren Zhiping this afternoon. He's in the interrogation room right now. Deputy Section Chief Ren, do you want to know who he is?"
"who is it?"
Ren Dashi was a little surprised. Did they catch Li Xiang?
He changed his mind and realized that this was impossible. They must have caught the wrong person.
"You know this person. He's Li Xiang, the owner of Li's Grocery Store outside the main gate of the bureau."
Yuan Ye's words were like a bombshell in Ren Dashi's heart.
"Really? I do know this guy. I sometimes go to him to buy cigarettes. I never thought he was the one who hit and killed my cousin. I will never let him go."
Ren Dashi forced himself to remain calm, but his heart was in turmoil. Was this true? If it was true, he would be in danger. But how did they find Li Xiang? Needless to say, it must have been Ren Zhiping who discovered something. But why did they arrest Li Xiang so late? Shouldn't he have been arrested long ago?
If it was fake, why did Detective Xiao say that? He must be testing him.
Yuan Ye sneered and said:
"It seems you're still hoping for a lucky break. This Li Xiang has already confessed. He's your superior. You were in his car the night Ren Zhiping was killed. He later drove the car to Ping An Auto Repair Shop. The two people there are also his accomplices, members of the Japanese spy group, the Poison Wolf."
When Ren Dashi heard this, his face turned pale and he collapsed in his chair. He was completely finished!
He didn't expect Li Xiang to confess so quickly. He didn't doubt Yuan Ye's words at all. If the Japanese hadn't confessed, how would they know so much, even where the car was hidden.
He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He knew there was no point in defending himself, so he lowered his head dejectedly.
Yuan Ye knew that he had completely crushed Ren Dashi mentally, and continued:
"I could have talked to you in the interrogation room, but I'm talking to you here because of your father, General Song. I don't want you to suffer any physical pain, so I hope you will cooperate and tell me everything you know.
Now I ask you, does General Song know about you?"
"No, I don't know. He has nothing to do with this matter. I did it without telling him. He is a man loyal to the Party and the country."
Ren Dashi immediately looked up and said that he remembered the night two days ago when the Japanese urged him to persuade his father to rebel as soon as possible, so he went to his father's study with gritted teeth.
The two chatted for a while, and Song Zhenzhong asked about his work situation. After Ren Dashi answered, he took the initiative to say:
"Father, I want to change my name to Song Dashi starting tomorrow."
Song Zhenzhong was very happy that his son finally figured it out, which meant that he had completely forgiven him as his father.
He said with some excitement:
"Da Shi, I've finally waited for this day. I'm so sorry to you and your mother. I never expected you to forgive me. I'm so relieved that you can do this."
After he finished speaking, his eyes were already a little moist. Ren Dashi was silent for a moment, and then said with some emotion:
"What's past is past. You don't have to take it to heart. You've been very good to me. I think if my mother knew about this, she wouldn't have any resentment."
Song Zhenzhong sighed:
"I hope she thinks so, but no matter what, I still feel guilty."
At this moment, he felt more relaxed than ever before. Ren Dashi saw the opportunity and was ready to get to the point. He asked tentatively:
"Father, what do you think of the current situation?"
Song Zhenzhong sighed and said:
"The situation is not good now. The Japanese invaders have already occupied half of the country. The national army is on the defensive. The Japanese invaders are still increasing their troops. The situation may become more serious in the future."
"Yes, I heard that many generals of the National Army have defected to the Japanese. I don't know if the National Army can withstand the Japanese attack in the future. If the situation collapses and is irreversible, what are your plans, father?"
Ren Dashi saw that Song Zhenzhong was not very optimistic about the situation and that there seemed to be a chance of trouble. He wanted to further understand his attitude and, depending on the situation, reveal his identity to Song Zhenzhong and try to persuade him to surrender to the Japanese.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhenzhong frowned and said:
"Da Shi, why are you so pessimistic? Although the situation is not very good now, I believe we will definitely win. The reason I have this confidence is because I read this book."
He took a book from the table and handed it to Ren Da, and continued:
"This book, On Protracted War, is the source of my confidence. It is so well written, it is a complete conspiracy. Even the Japanese would not be able to decipher it and would not be able to escape the fate of failure!
I suggest you take a good look at it too. After you do, you will surely be enlightened. The final victory will definitely belong to us.
Therefore, we must never become pessimistic and disappointed like those scum of the Party and the country, become traitors, cut ourselves off from the Party and the country, and become historical sinners.
Song Zhenzhong's righteous words left Ren Dashi speechless for a moment. It seemed that there was no way to persuade him now, and he could only talk about it later.
"Okay, I'll take a good look at this book."
He knew that his father wanted him to build up confidence, but his father had no idea that his son had already become a traitor. Even if he had confidence, there was no way to turn back.
When Yuan Ye heard Ren Dashi's inner thoughts, he knew that he had not lied to him, and he felt relieved. Otherwise, General Song would have been dragged into this, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He nodded and said:
"I believe what you said. Your father was a loyalist to the Party and the country. I also know that the Japanese want you to incite your father to rebellion, but their conspiracy will not succeed. I asked you this to confirm it."
Yuan Ye asked Ren Dashi some more questions, made a record of the whole incident, asked Ren Dashi to sign and seal it, and then called Chu Yuntian, saying that Ren Dashi had confessed and asked him to send someone to detain Ren Dashi.
Chu Yuntian was a little surprised, thinking, what's going on? Yuan Ye had only been there for about an hour, and Ren Dashi had confessed. Could he really be a Japanese spy? How on earth did Yuan Ye do it?
It’s better to ask him later. After he hung up the phone, he asked Yue Haishan to send two people to Ren Dashi’s office to take Ren Dashi into custody.
After a while, Yuan Ye came to his office. He saw that in addition to Chu Yuntian, there were two strange middle-aged men in the office. One of them was Yue Haishan, the chief of the Counter-Espionage Department, and the other was Li Hong, the captain of the First Action Brigade of the Operations Department.
The two of them had heard from Chu Yuntian that the headquarters had invited a detective named Xiao back from the United States. It was said that this person had strong criminal investigation capabilities, and the headquarters asked him to help detect Japanese spies. The two of them were also skeptical. Does this person really have such great abilities?
But unexpectedly, just now, Chu Yuntian said that he had made Ren Dashi confess and had him detained. This Detective Xiao had just flown to the mountain city in the afternoon, and in less than an hour, he had confirmed that Ren Dashi was the insider and even made him confess. This was too unbelievable. Could this person really be a detective?
When Yuan Ye walked into the office, Chu Yuntian immediately greeted him, and Yue Haishan and Li Hong followed. Chu Yuntian introduced them to each other and asked Yue Haishan and Li Hong to obey Detective Xiao's arrangements and act according to his instructions in their future work related to Japanese spies, showing his full trust in Detective Xiao.
Yue Haishan and Li Hong dared not disobey and nodded in agreement. After the greetings were over, everyone sat down and Chu Yuntian immediately asked:
"Detective Xiao, what is going on?"
Yuan Ye did not answer his question directly, but said:
"Director, let's talk about this later. There's something we must do right now. We need to ask Section Chief Yue and Captain Li to work on it."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Chu Yuntian asked curiously.
"Section Chief Yue, take a few people to the Li's Grocery Store outside the headquarters gate and capture the owner, Li Xiang.
Captain Li, please take more people to Ping'an Auto Repair Shop and bring back the owner and mechanic.
These people are Japanese spies, members of the Japanese spy Poison Wolf Group. They must be captured alive. In addition, the grocery store and the auto repair shop must be searched thoroughly. It depends on you whether you can catch the Poison Wolf Group in one fell swoop.
Take action now! "
Yuan Ye said very seriously.
When Yue Haishan and Li Hong heard that they had found the whereabouts of the Japanese spy, they were both shocked. They did not dare to delay and stood up immediately.
"Yes, we will act now."
After saying that, the two of them hurried out of the office.
