Chapter 68 Let's Do Something Big
Lu Qian's memory is a fragment, and the scene shows a man and a woman. The man is also one of Feng Zhitai's guards.
Lu Qian handed a cloth bag to the woman and said, "Xiaoxia, take this money."
Lu Xia opened the cloth bag and glanced at it, then quickly tried to return it to Lu Qian, saying, "Brother, this is too much. You've already had a tough time serving in the army in Beiping. Keep this and buy something nice."
"You're my sister, so just keep it. Things are expensive in Jinling, and I don't have many places to spend money over there."
Lu Qian pushed the money back.
"Your older brother is now Commander Feng's bodyguard. The commander treats us very well, and we have enough to eat and wear, so you don't need to worry about me."
Seeing Lu Qian's resolute expression, Lu Xia put it away.
"Is Qianfeng still working at the restaurant?" Lu Qian continued to ask.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xia seemed to recall something happy and laughed, "No, he's driving for someone now, and he earns quite a bit a month."
"He was busy outside all night yesterday and is sleeping inside now. I'll go and call him out."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qian quickly said, "No need, let him rest well."
They returned secretly, so the fewer people they met, the better. Meeting Lu Xia was already an exception, so there was no need to meet anyone else.
"Then I won't stay any longer. You and Qianfeng should live a good life. If he bullies you, write to me and see how I deal with him when I get back."
"Okay, then please be careful out there, brother."
The memory ends.
Judging from his memory, Lu Qian must have gone to see his sister with a soldier.
However, the other party did not mention this matter, so we don't know if they went secretly or what.
Shen Yi then went to the recorded statement and examined it carefully, quickly noticing something amiss.
Feng Zhitai has been back in Jinling for three days. He always takes his entourage with him when he goes out, but he also leaves a few entourages at his residence to keep watch.
However, only four were kept on the day they returned, and only two were kept each day thereafter.
Lu Qian happened to be one of those who stayed behind that day.
"Is Jin Zhen all that's left?" Shen Yi said.
"Yes, I'll go call him."
After saying that, Fang Wei left the room.
A short while later, Jin Zhen walked in and began to explain his situation.
"From Beiping—"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yi interrupted him, "Platoon Leader Jin, stop for a moment. I've heard all of that before. Is there anything else that's particularly noteworthy?"
"For example, why did you only arrange for four people to stay at the manor on the day we returned to Jinling, and only two people at other times? Is there any special reason for this?" Shen Yi asked.
Jin Zhen was taken aback when he heard this; he hadn't expected Shen Yi to ask such a question.
Upon hearing this, Fang Wei immediately began to examine the situation carefully and found that, just as Shen Yi had said, only four soldiers remained on that one day.
He thought to himself that the team leader was indeed worthy of being the team leader, as he could notice such details.
Seeing Jin Zhen's hesitation, Shen Yi said, "Platoon Leader Jin, this concerns Commander Feng's safety. If you know something and don't report it, and something happens to Commander Feng, the responsibility will fall entirely on you!"
"Besides, Commander Feng just told you to cooperate with me fully. Are you trying to disobey orders?!"
Upon hearing the words "military order," Jin Zhen became somewhat flustered and quickly said, "I didn't!"
He then continued, "Lu Qian is from Nanjing. He has a younger sister here. Before he came, he said he wanted to go home to see his sister and give her some money."
"I reported this matter to the division commander, and I only agreed to it after the division commander gave his approval."
"So I had him stay at the manor and take some time to visit his sister. But when he went, I had someone follow him and monitor him the whole time. There were no problems."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi understood. It seemed that Jin Zhen could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.
Moreover, the reason they weren't allowed to speak out before was probably because they didn't trust the intelligence agency's capabilities. They felt they had already investigated thoroughly and there was no need to reveal anything further.
Shen Yi didn't say much about it; it was normal for the other party not to believe them.
"I want to ask again."
Seeing this, Jin Zhen did not refuse, "No problem."
Jin Zhen then summoned the two men and made them honestly recount the entire process.
Lu Qian did indeed only go to his sister's house, and he only met his sister.
Another guard followed him the whole time, and even checked the cloth bag he handed out and the money inside.
However, despite this, Lu Xia and her husband Wei Qianfeng still need to be investigated and monitored.
After the two left, Shen Yi approached Jin Zhen again and said, "I hope Platoon Leader Jin will keep a close watch on Lu Qian. This is also for the safety of Division Commander Feng."
"Don't worry, I know what's important," Jin Zhen said.
After learning that the intelligence about Feng Zhitai's return had been leaked, his first suspect was Lu Qian, and he had already ordered people to keep an eye on him.
At the same time, he also began to recognize Shen Yi's abilities, which were different from other good-for-nothings who just ate rice without working.
Back at the office, Shen Yi instructed Fang Wei to investigate Lu Xia, while he himself stayed in his office reviewing Ma Li's background investigation of the attendants.
Since they were chosen by Feng Zhitai as his personal bodyguards, their resumes must be clean.
He picked up Ji Feng's file and started looking at it, while recalling the memories he had seen of the other person before.
In his memory, Ji Feng was meeting with someone, and that person was Song Yu.
However, their memories ended after they gave each other the secret code.
Shen Yi was surprised to find that Ji Feng was a member of the Communist Party and wondered what kind of intelligence Ji Feng had sent to Song Yu.
Given Ji Feng's status, he should have had access to military intelligence.
The Nationalist army is now encircling the Shaanxi-Gansu Soviet Area, attempting to gradually compress the Red Army's operational space.
Could it be intelligence about this?
Shen Yi hoped everything would go smoothly for them, and that Ji Feng's suspicion could be cleared.
. . . . .
Now we're just waiting for the results of other investigations.
While the Special Service is conducting an intensive investigation, in Shanghai, the members of the assassination team have been drafted and are about to head to Nanjing.
. . . .
Two days later, in the evening, at the Japanese Consulate in Nanjing.
Consul General Suma Yakichiro was sitting upright at the tea table, slowly sipping his tea.
There was a knock on the door, and he called out, "Come in."
Then a man walked in and knelt on the ground.
"Consul General, the Special Higher Police have arrived in Nanjing. Weapons have been handed over to them. We've also informed them that Feng Zhitai will be visiting the Executive Yuan tomorrow morning. I've also asked Mr. Ida to stay and help them." (in Japanese)
"What's the situation with Feng Zhitai lately?" Suma Yakichiro asked.
"The Secret Service personnel are still here, and there were even more today. I guess they think the assassination is about to begin."
"Heh, those useless Special Higher Police officers, just as I expected, managed to leak such important information."
"But this suits me just fine. Let them draw the Special Service's fire for me," Suma Yakichiro said with a smile.
"Recently, the Special Service's focus has been on Feng Zhitai's side. If an operation breaks out there tomorrow morning, it will attract a lot of agents, which will be our opportunity."
A mere division commander is not enough to satisfy his appetite; if he's going to do something, he'll do something big!
"Hi! The Consul is wise!"
