Chapter 636 What do you think?
Yuan Ye came to Li Qunshi's office and deliberately asked:
"You two seem to be in a bad mood. What happened?"
Li Qunshi sighed and told the story of the technician being kidnapped by the Military Control Commission.
Yuan Ye looked very surprised.
"Why is this happening? Someone must have leaked the information!"
"Yeah, I thought so too. I've already asked Wu Shibao to investigate the traitor, but I don't know if he can find him."
Li Qunshi said with a frown.
"We must find out no matter what. If we can't find out, we will shoot all 10 or so people. We would rather kill the wrong people than let them go."
Nanyun Masako said coldly.
Li Qunshi was startled. This Nanyun Masako was too cruel. He had to warn Wu Shibao that no matter what means he used, he must find out the traitor. Otherwise, so many people would die. Not only would there be a lot of casualties, but everyone would also be insecure.
Yuan Ye actually hoped that Nanyun Masako would do this, so that he could kill many traitors and spies. Wu Shibao would definitely not be able to find the traitor because there was no traitor at all unless he was tortured into confessing.
However, Yuan Ye knew that this was just what Nanyun Masako said in a fit of anger. If she calmed down, she would not do such a thing. How could Li Qunshi win the support of the people if he killed people indiscriminately like this? Who would listen to him in the future?
If it really comes to that, Li Qunshi will not agree. Even if he is forced to confess, he will find a scapegoat.
Yuan Ye also took into consideration that now that Hu Deping was at No. 76, if indiscriminate killing was allowed, once he became one of the suspects, he would die at the hands of the enemy.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to persuade Nanyun Masako in front of Li Qunshi, and you can also do Li Qunshi a favor.
Yuan Ye smiled and said:
"Ms. Masako, I think this is inappropriate. While it certainly could get rid of the traitor, the consequences are disastrous. Everyone in Unit 76 will be insecure and divided. Who will follow Director Li? Our efforts to combat anti-Japanese elements will be greatly impacted."
Nanyun Masako also realized that what she said just now was a bit impulsive, so she took the opportunity to back down and said:
"What Shi Kaijun said makes sense. My considerations just now were a bit inappropriate. We'll see what to do next."
Li Qunshi felt relieved when he saw that Nanyun Masako had softened. It was thanks to the special envoy who spoke up for him and convinced Nanyun Masako. If he had said it himself, Nanyun Masako might not have listened to him.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then Yan Ping pushed the door open and hurried in. He saw the special envoy and Nanyun Masako were also there, and he hurriedly greeted them, and then said to Li Qunshi:
"Li Zhongfa is dead."
Li Qunshi was a little surprised and asked hurriedly:
"How did he die?"
"The team I sent to follow him just came back and said they went out early in the morning and around ten o'clock, they arrived at Fujian Road. There were many pedestrians on the road. When they reached a corner, they heard a gunshot and Li Zhongfa fell to the ground. The pedestrians fled in all directions and there was chaos. Two team members were following Li Zhongfa a few meters behind him at the time, but they didn't see who fired the gun, so they had no place to chase him.
But I guess it must have been the Reds who did it, blending in with the crowd and shooting him, then taking advantage of the chaos to escape."
"Do you think someone might have leaked the information to the Red Party?" Masako Nanyun said with a frown.
Li Qunshi was overwhelmed when he heard this. He suspected that there was an insider in the technician's robbery and Li Zhongfa's death. Wouldn't he, No. 76, be a sieve?
He felt that the former was very likely to have an insider, but the latter was not necessarily so. So he quickly said:
"In order to maximize his value, I asked him to go out and look for the Red Party. I also wanted to try my luck and maybe run into a Red Party member he knew.
He has been sent out for five or six days and nothing has happened. It should not be that someone leaked the information to the Red Party, otherwise the Red Party would have killed him long ago.
I think it is more likely that he was stumbled upon by the Reds on the road and was killed.”
Li Qunshi preferred this explanation. While it was possible that someone had leaked the information, it was highly unlikely. Furthermore, if something went wrong, suspicion of a traitor would be strong. Wouldn't Unit 76 be in constant turmoil, investigating everything thoroughly? How could they carry out their work in the future?
"I think the director is right. The places Li Zhongfa went to were all places where the Red Gang was likely to be. So it's normal for him to be discovered by the Red Gang. He can only blame himself for bad luck."
Yan Ping certainly agreed with Li Qunshi's statement. He also didn't want to explain the matter as an insider, otherwise he would have to bear certain responsibilities, because only he and a few of his subordinates knew about the whole thing. If it was investigated, it would cause chaos. Besides, these subordinates were people he trusted very much, so it was impossible for them to be insiders.
Nanyun Masako certainly knew what they were thinking, but what they said made sense. She turned to Yuan Ye and smiled:
"Shi Kaijun, what do you think?"
