Chapter 11 Change of Mind
"Short after arriving in Shanghai, I learned something through the inside of the police station. The police station recently seized a batch of smuggled items, all of which were radio parts, including wireless receivers, gr band selectors, low-voltage constant transformers, additional and subtractive resistors, and dry batteries, etc. The number of parts is large, enough to assemble ten x210 radio stations. That afternoon, Ji Yunqing went to the police station, paid a fine, and took the goods back, saying that they were used for his fleet and were a business station. According to my knowledge, this batch of goods fell into the hands of the Japanese. In order to find out the truth, I had no time to take care of the joints..."
Telling the whole story, Liu Geqing finally said: "In terms of national justice, Ji Yunqing's attitude is vague. I suspect that he has secretly defected to the Japanese!"
Xu Yanlin understood that this matter was indeed strange.
According to Ji Yunqing, the saying that radio parts are used in fleet business stations is actually untenable.
Parts of this model are capable of assembling x210 radios.
With a slight technical change, it can even assemble the ultra-long-distance RCA212 international radio.
Generally speaking, unless it is an ocean-going fleet, domestic business stations rarely use parts of this type.
Ji Yunqing's fleet mainly operates offshore and does not require high-power radio stations at all.
The core technology of radio is basically in the hands of the United States, Britain and other countries.
After the war between China and Japan began, the United States and Britain imposed an arms embargo on Japan, including radio equipment for military purposes.
Through smuggling, Ji Yunqing secretly helped the Japanese get the high-power radio stations they urgently needed.
Based on the actual situation, this is the most reasonable explanation.
“Where are these parts now?”
Xu Yanlin asked.
Liu Geqing knocked out the cigarette butts and said, "No. 194, Minister's Road."
"Sun Wuyang's home?"
"No. It's the home of Jiro Ono, the second-class secretary of the Japanese Consulate."
"What is the relationship between Sun Wuyang and Jiro Ono?"
"I don't know. I've watched this woman for so long, and it's the first time I've seen her."
"That's what happened today..."
"It's been more than half a month, and no progress has been made. I've arrested you. I planned to find a breakthrough, but I never thought..."
Liu Geqing shook his head with a wry smile.
Xu Yanlin pondered for a while and said slowly: "This matter should be a different idea..."
Liu Geqing's eyes flashed: "Change a different idea? Let's talk about it."
Xu Yanlin asked: "Have you ever thought about it? The Japanese Marine Corps Command is in Hongkou. Why didn't Ji Yunqing hand over the goods to the Marine Corps?"
Liu Geqing said: "This is easy to understand. The Marine Command's goal is too obvious. Not only us, but all forces are staring at them. If Ji Yunqing delivers the goods, this matter will soon spread throughout Shanghai. At that time, no matter how he proves his innocence, he will not be able to wash away the infamy of the traitor!"
Xu Yanlin shook his head gently: "In essence, there is no difference between the Japanese Consulate and the Marine Corps Command. Therefore, since Ji Yunqing can deliver the goods to Jiro Ono's house, it means that he doesn't care about the infamy of a traitor. In my opinion, there is only one possibility for this matter..."
"What?"
"This batch of goods has nothing to do with the Navy."
“………”
"Mr. Liu, you also know that the relationship between the Japanese Army and the Navy is like our Secret Service and the Party Headquarters. It is almost the same as if we are old and dead. The Japanese Consulate's special high school class has always been very close to the Army... So, I came to the conclusion based on this."
Liu Geqing pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but nodded slightly, saying, "Then, why didn't this batch of goods be sent to the Army, but kept it at Jiro Ono's house?"
Xu Yanlin said: "In Shanghai, Ji Yunqing is very good at hand and eyes, so it is not difficult to redeem that batch of goods. However, since he claims that the parts are used in the fleet and his fleet is in the concession, if the goods are delivered, I think the police station will definitely not agree..."
Liu Geqing said, "So, the goods cannot be transported to the concession. They don't want to ask the navy for help, so they can only keep them at Jiro Ono's house for the time being."
"This is just my guess. What is the truth and needs further verification."
"What you just said is a different idea, what do you mean?"
"Look for a breakthrough from Sun Wuyang. She can enter and exit No. 194, Gongyun Road at will. In this matter, she must be an extremely critical figure."
"How did you and her meet?"
"I met at the Spring Festival reception held by the Japanese Consulate. She said she was afraid of walking at night, so I sent her back. Oh, she told me that her family lives at No. 194, Gongyun Road."
Liu Geqing suddenly laughed: "Does she fall in love with you?"
Xu Yanlin also smiled: "It feels a little bit. However, it's hard to say about this kind of thing."
Liu Geqing looked up and down for a while and smiled and said, "It seems that I was wrong. I should contact you earlier."
Xu Yanlin opened the gap in the curtain and looked out for a while.
Meng San and Agui were hiding behind the door stack, stretching their necks and peering out.
"Mr. Liu, who are the two of them?"
Xu Yanlin asked.
Liu Geqing came over and took a look and said, "They are both disciples of the Qing Gang and are also informants of the Military Control Commission. I lacked staff here, so I transferred them to monitor No. 194, Gongshu Road. Oh, the driver was brought by me from the headquarters, and he is ours."
Xu Yanlin was stunned for a moment: "Military Control, what is it?"
Liu Geqing explained: "After withdrawing to Chongqing, the internal institutions of the State Government were reorganized, and the Secret Service and Secret Investigation and Statistics Bureau was established to establish the Military Commission, which is referred to as the Military Bureau. Oh, the Party Department also changed its name, now it is called the Central Bureau of Administration, and Xu Enzeng serves as the director."
"Then, who will lead the military commander?"
"It's still Boss Dai. Boss Dai serves as the deputy director of the Military Affairs Bureau and is in charge of daily work. Chen Lifu serves as the director. He just has a name and does not work in the bureau..."
These are all things that have happened recently. Shanghai and Chongqing are separated by thousands of miles, and the news is not that fast.
Liu Geqing came from Chongqing and naturally knew the situation there.
"It's only been more than two months, so many things have happened. Looking back on my days in Qingpu class, it's like a dream. I don't know how my classmates are doing now..."
Xu Yanlin said sadly.
What he is most concerned about now is how Liu Zhenxing is.
In recent days, he has questioned Tao Ran indirectly, but Tao Ran has no idea after asking.
Actually, it was not Tao Ran, when bullets flew around at that time, who would have paid attention to the whereabouts of a "Japanese traitor".
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Yanlin wanted to find out the situation in this regard.
Of course, Xu Yanlin was not pretending to be hypocritical.
