chongqing.

After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, returning the capital was already on the agenda of the National Government.

However, due to the massacre by the Japanese invaders and years of rule, Nanjing could not easily accept a large number of immigrants. Therefore, the National Government did not immediately announce the return of the capital, but started the construction process first.

After nine months of preparation, the National Government officially announced its return to the capital in May this year. A group of senior officials held a ceremony in Nanjing to indicate that they would work in Nanjing.

But it was just a show, because it involved the relocation of countless institutions, factories, schools, etc., involving the migration of at least 300,000 people, not including the people who returned spontaneously - so the core of the National Government was still in Chongqing.

But by June, some core institutions had already completed their relocation, and the Nationalist government took advantage of Dai Chunfeng's funeral to have all its senior officials return to Nanjing.

This also led to a severe shortage of air transport capabilities during that period.

In the face of this severe shortage of air transport capabilities, the thirteen young masters from the four clans formed a team and drove to Chengdu, intending to take a plane from Chengdu to Nanjing - they couldn't let them squeeze into the Yangtze River waterway, right?

There was a serious bandit problem around Chongqing, and a large-scale campaign was organized after the end of the Anti-Japanese War. However, Sichuan is mountainous, and local security groups were in cahoots with the bandits, so this campaign did not achieve much success.

After Zhang Anping got off the plane at Chongqing Airport, he was picked up by Wang Tianfeng and rushed to the scene of the kidnapping. Along the way, Wang Tianfeng introduced the current information he had:

"They were kidnapped in the Bishan-Tongliang section, and the attack site was only 9 kilometers away from Anju Town."

"There was an exchange of fire at the scene, but the intensity was low. The more than 40 guards resisted for less than ten minutes before the battle ended. Judging from the bloodstains at the scene, the number of casualties was no more than seven."

"The kidnappers were very professional and destroyed a lot of traces at the scene. The police have not yet completely reconstructed the scene."

Wang Tianfeng’s current position is the director of the First Department of the Bureau of Security - the Bureau of Security inherited the structure of the Military Control Commission, and the First Department is still the Intelligence Department.

He was in Chongqing and did not even attend Dai Chunfeng's funeral.

"By the way, when I was waiting for you at the airport, I saw Tang Zong. He should have come here for this matter as well."

"If we go to Anju Town now, we will probably run into him."

Wang Tianfeng still uses his usual style of narrating stories without mixing in any personal opinions.

Since the kidnapping occurred, the police station has not asked for help from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics or the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, which clearly shows that it would rather take the blame than let the two spy agencies get involved.

Zhang Anping did not respond to Wang Tianfeng's reminder, but asked:
"You didn't get the message?"

He didn't ask directly.

“No——” Wang Tianfeng still looked calm: “You should be talking about the report intercepted by the police station, right?”

"It seems to be about what I guessed."

At this point, Wang Tianfeng glanced at Zhang Anping and deliberately added, "They only believe you now, and no one else."

The two seemed to be playing a charade, but they were actually talking about the police officers in the police station who were from the Military Control Commission. During the reorganization of the Military Control Commission, 10,000 agents were accepted into the police station. Due to the return of the capital to Chongqing, a large number of police officers from Nanjing, Shanghai and other places had to be withdrawn, so many Military Control Commission agents were placed in Chongqing.

Zhang Anping was able to obtain the information because of these people.

However, these former agents who turned into police officers had no good feelings towards the Bureau of Investigation and the news failed to reach Wang Tianfeng.

"Should I give you some funding?" Zhang Anping asked, "You can consider recruiting some of them as insiders."

Wang Tianfeng shook his head: "I have tried to contact some people, but they don't want to have any contact with the Bureau of Secrets anymore. They can tell you about this probably because the person who did it is from the Military Control Commission after all."

Zhang Anping was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "I am sorry for them."

Wang Tianfeng didn't say a word, but his expression was gloomy.

[It seems that Lao Wang did not add any sand. ]

Zhang Anping asked this deliberately because he wanted to know whether Wang Tianfeng had mixed feelings among the transferred or dismissed agents.

Wang Tianfeng's answer also indirectly confirmed Zhang Anping's "efforts" - whether they were transferred or dismissed agents, they had now given up on the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

After leaving the airport, the convoy headed directly to the scene of the incident. After meeting up with two convoys that had been on standby at Aoki Pass, they continued to advance.

The second department is the operations department, and the person in charge is Shen Zui. He was the first to join Mao Renfeng, and all his core descendants were preserved.

It stands to reason that the Operations Department would be the weakest part of Zhang's faction, but Shen most obviously did not want to offend Zhang Anping. After taking office as the director of the Second Department, he deliberately promoted several backbones of Zhang's faction -

This was also the tacit choice of most of the senior officials of the Bureau of Secrets. Even if they defected to Mao Renfeng, they would do everything they could to show goodwill to the Zhang faction.

Why was Mao Renfeng in a hurry to "give" Ma Hansan's Peking Station to Zhang Anping?
In addition to Ma Hansan's treacherous behavior, he now urgently needs money to unite his men, otherwise his power will fall apart.

Shen was most embarrassed to face Zhang Anping directly, and he kept reducing his presence on the plane from Nanjing to Chongqing. After getting off the plane, he didn't even dare to squeeze into Zhang Anping's car, which made the journey less "fun".

At half past eight, the convoy arrived at the scene. It was already completely dark at this time, but there were many tents around the scene, and a large number of police officers and soldiers were moving around. After the convoy of the Secret Service arrived, it was intercepted by the checkpoint.

Zhang Anping did not get off the car, but waited calmly.

Soon a first-level police officer came hurriedly with his men.

The visitor is the new director of Chongqing Police Department.

"Commander Zhang, the people below are ungrateful. Please forgive us for being so generous."

After the Nationalist government returned to the capital, Chongqing's political status plummeted. The police chief naturally sought to go to Nanjing. The new chief did not have a strong backer, so he took the opportunity to take over the position of police chief. Facing Zhang Anping, he really couldn't stand up.

Zhang Anping then got out of the car, and after looking at the police chief who was about to collapse under the huge pressure with a cold gaze, he asked:

"Is Tang Zong here?"

"The director is here and is directing the work."

"Take me to him."

"Yes—please."

Under his leadership, a group of people walked into the camp. Many police officers in uniform subconsciously straightened their chests after meeting Zhang Anping.

Inside the huge tent, Tang Zong had already sent away all the people who came to report their work, and was quietly waiting for Zhang Anping's arrival. Because he had given instructions long ago, he did not stop Zhang Anping when he came in, but Wang Tianfeng and Shen Zui were all stopped.

Zhang Anping didn't care. He guessed that the man surnamed Tang wanted to negotiate terms with him, so he went straight to the big tent alone.

As soon as Zhang Anping came in, Tang Zong took the lead in attacking before he could say anything:

"Both ends!"

Snapped

A report was thrown hard on the table. Tang Zong said coldly, "Zhang Anping, I promised you to accept the unification of 10,000 people, but did you do this? They actually concealed such important news!"

"If we had received this report earlier, why would we be so passive?!"

"Who knows, maybe he has already been arrested..."

Zhang Anping frowned and interrupted Tang Zong: "Enough! Stop accusing me - if my people from the Military Control Commission were so easily caught, they would have died during the war of resistance!"

"Since I'm here, I'm here to do something, so stop pretending to be so high and mighty!"

Tang Zong deliberately made trouble by hiding the on-site analysis report of the police officer transferred from the Military Control Commission.

Seeing Zhang Anping's directness, Tang Zong put away the anger on his face and revealed his bottom line: "The police station has the leading power in this matter - if you don't want to do it, then leave! I will take the blame!"

He made no threats because there was no need.

Zhang Anping came all the way from Nanjing specifically because this matter involved the Bureau of Secrets. If he dared to turn around and leave, Tang Zong would drag the Bureau of Secrets to hell.

The reason why Tang Zong had been plotting against Zhang Anping was not only because he was worried that Zhang Anping would take over the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but also because he was worried that the spy system would suppress the police system.

Since the establishment of the Secret Service, the police system has been gradually suppressed by the secret service system, and finally the secret service system took over and acted tyrannically.

Since he took over the police system and became the director of the General Police Agency, he naturally could not allow the spy system to take advantage of him again.

That's why he kept biting Zhang Anping while secretly stabbing Zhong Tongyi with a knife.

As a result, Zhang Anping pulled Zheng Yaoquan into the game, finding a fool who could take the blame for the Bureau of Secrets, thus strengthening the already declining power of the Bureau of Secrets. He then joined forces with the Central Bureau of Investigation to fight back against him, which completely changed the situation.

Now that such a terrible thing has happened, the General Police Department is under great pressure. He is very happy that Zhang Anping can join the game, but he is also worried that Zhang Anping will compete for the dominant position - if the Bureau of Secrets takes the dominant position in this matter, it will set a precedent, and in the future the Bureau of Secrets will compete here and there, and the power of the General Police Department will slowly shrink.

As one thing grows stronger, the other shrinks, and it is easy to return to the days of being bullied by the spy system.

Therefore, Emperor Tang made his bottom line clear.

Zhang Anping naturally understood Tang Zong's fear, and he said in a cold voice:

"I only do things, I don't stab people."

Tang Zong's expression completely relaxed. Zhang Anping's reputation was still trustworthy. Although he had broken his promise before, that was only against traitors. Zhang Anping's ability was also obvious to all. With Zhang Anping around, he believed that there was a high possibility that the kidnapping case could be properly resolved.

"Then let them all come in, we'll summarize the information and discuss a plan."

"Ah."

Tang Zong put down the heavy stone in his heart and called in all the subordinates he had sent away before. Wang Tianfeng, Shen Zui and other members of the Security Bureau also came in.

A police officer from the Military Control Commission made a site investigation report at Tang Zong's suggestion:

"We have restored all traces - there were more than 40 people involved in the scene, but judging from some of their footsteps, most of them did not have professional military skills."

After restoring the scene, the attack routes of the ambushers can be inferred based on the footprints, and the attackers' military proficiency and those without it can be clearly identified through these attack lines.

"But we found a lot of special traces around us. According to our deduction, there are at least 70 people hiding in the surrounding area as a reserve force. They are divided into six teams to deploy defenses around the area. They can quickly support the front battlefield and also play a blocking role."

The police officer who introduced the situation glanced at Zhang Anping obscurely and continued, "So we can conclude that this was a kidnapping case conspired by bandits and professionals - a large number of professionals participated, and they also took the lead in the operation."

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene became a little strange, because everyone understood that the so-called professionals were Military Intelligence Bureau agents.

Tang Zongdao:
"go on!"

The officer then recounted the supposed course of the battle.

The battle information is the same as what Wang Tianfeng has, and the intensity is extremely low.

After finishing his speech, he talked about judgment:

"The battle went on very quickly. We investigated the accompanying bodyguards and found that most of them had extensive combat experience. If the difference in numbers was not so great, they should not have given up resistance in such a short time. So there is only one possibility—"

Shen Zui spoke directly at this time:
"Someone forced them to lay down their weapons." "Yes."

Shen Zui asked: "Have you investigated this aspect?"

"I have checked, but there is no relevant information yet."

Zhang Anping actually had a rough guess when Wang Tianfeng reported to him after he got off the plane:

It should be that these young masters took advantage of the KMT's downsizing to recruit some of its dismissed agents, and these agents were kidnapped by the kidnappers, or they were the kidnappers themselves, so the battle was over in less than ten minutes - because these agents who served as bodyguards turned against them and directly controlled the young masters.

The young masters were held hostage and the bodyguards had no choice but to lay down their weapons.

Zhang Anping finally asked:
"How's the investigation going, the messenger?"

"Very alert, but without any gain."

Translation: The person who delivered the letter must be a Military Intelligence Bureau agent. They are very professional, so it is normal that the police station did not gain anything.

Looking at the sand table map, Zhang Anping frowned and asked, "With this place as the core, how many bandits are there within a hundred miles?"

Chongqing was seriously plagued by banditry. The strongest group of bandits was that of Chen Lanting, which had as many as 500 men. They even dared to attack the army's transport teams.

According to statistics, around Chongqing, in addition to Chen Lanting's troops, there are nearly 20 bandit groups with more than people, and more than bandit groups with less than people - the total number of bandits surrounding Chongqing exceeds !

Bishan is also a high-incidence area for banditry and robbery, and there should be quite a few bandits entrenched here.

"There are... 15 gangs of varying sizes, plus a force led by Chen Lanting, with around a hundred people."

This answer made Zhang Anping frown even more. There were 16 gangs of bandits in total, and the possibility of them committing crimes across regions could not be ruled out. It would be a bit time-consuming to investigate directly from the source!

After a brief thought, Zhang Anping said, "Divide into two groups. The police will investigate the bandits, and the secret service will investigate the dismissed agents."

After saying that, he looked at Tang Zong and said, "Inform each other of the news, and work together on the case when there is progress."

Tang Zong did not answer directly, but said: "Establish the June 6th robbery command center, and you will be the deputy commander."

Zhang Anping smiled sarcastically and answered readily, "Yeah."

Tang Zong pretended not to notice Zhang Anping's sneer and nodded: "Just follow Chief Zhang's orders - the police station will immediately send negotiators to negotiate with the gang!"

……

In a village outside Bishan County.

A young man rushed to the village entrance and shouted to Wu Liwei who was standing under a tree:

"Chief Wu - there's news!"

"I told you not to call me Section Chief, just call me Old Wu—Commander Zhang is here?"

"Well, the brothers at the airport sent a message saying they saw Commander Zhang getting off the plane."

The young man said solemnly: "Wu, Lao Wu, Commander Zhang is here in person, we...we are afraid we are in danger."

The Japanese have proved one thing with countless blood:

Zhang Shihao is invincible!
The agents of the Military Control Commission have repeatedly studied Zhang Anping's battle record and have long been impressed by his various miraculous operations. No one would have the confidence to fight against Zhang Anping!
Seeing his men so solemn, Wu Liwei smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I only gave them three days to raise the money. It's already the second day, and tomorrow is the last day. They must pay! Commander Zhang has just arrived, and he doesn't have much information. The maze we set up at the scene can at least confuse Commander Zhang for a day or two. There's still enough time!"

"Go tell Lao An and Lao Yan to be extremely careful when taking the money. As long as we can successfully get the money, we will win!"

The young man felt a little relieved after hearing this, but he still said solemnly:

"I, I'm still a little worried—" He was afraid that Lao Wu would misunderstand him, so he explained, "I'm not afraid of death. It would be my honor to die in Chief Zhang's hands. I'm just worried that we won't get the money."

"Don't worry, we have been planning this for so long, nothing will go wrong."

……

The campsite at the scene of the robbery.

Zhang Anping, Wang Tianfeng and Shen Zui stayed in the tent.

Shen Zuiji asked respectfully: "Chief Zhang, shall I go back and check now?"

Zhang Anping did not answer but asked: "Now that we have found out the result, what should we do?"

Shen Zui was speechless and looked to Wang Tianfeng for help.

Wang Tianfeng asked: "What do you mean?"

"They are all our brothers, and we were the ones who let them down first." Zhang Anping set the tone.

Zhang Anping’s meaning was very clear: I don’t want to kill these former Military Control Commission brothers.

Wang Tianfeng said: "There has to be an explanation, right?"

"I can get the person back, but I don't give a shit about the money!"

Shen was most anxious and worried. He was not too worried about the kidnapping case, but Zhang Anping spoke so bluntly. Did he not treat me as an outsider, or... he had no intention of letting me go?
Wang Tianfeng pondered for a while: "Okay, but there will be trouble."

"Just keep the tail together."

Seeing Zhang Anping say this, Wang Tianfeng no longer had any objections. Shen Zui, who was standing beside him, did not wait for Zhang Anping to look at him, and said impatiently:
"The Operations Department will be responsible for releasing the water at that time. What do you think, Chief Zhang?"

This is obviously a token of allegiance.

The desire to survive is maxed out.

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "You should be careful—"

After laughing, he said in a deep voice:
"Let Division One and Division Two work together, but it's just a formality to investigate. There's no need to focus all of your energy on this."

Wang Tianfeng and Shen Zui were stunned. Why?

"Bandits, it should be a decoy - our brothers want to deal with a group of young masters, there is no need to collude with bandits. The traces of bandits at the scene should be a decoy created by them."

From another perspective:
With such a huge ransom amount, is it necessary to collude with the bandits?

As for the traces at the scene, you are kidding me. A group of professional agents, can't they create some traces of deception?

"The focus will be on checking the waterways. The people may not be in Chongqing, but since they took the money in Chongqing, they must get the money out as soon as possible. Focus on checking the boats tomorrow evening and the day after tomorrow. This is the only possible channel for transporting the money."

"If there is no progress, we will block the Yangtze River waterway starting tomorrow afternoon!"

The purpose of these retired agents uniting together is to make money, and there are quite a few people involved. Once the money is in hand, it is impossible for them to wait for a long time - if the money stays in Chongqing, they will have to wait for a long time, which is obviously impossible.

Therefore, the money must be shipped out as soon as it is received. Otherwise, over time, various conflicts will arise and a big mess will occur.

Check the water routes and cut off their escape route to take the money and escape.

Shen Zui and Wang Tianfeng looked at Zhang Anping in confusion. Since he said he would let them go, why did he take a retreat route?

If the money cannot be taken out, these brothers will never give up. If this goes on for too long, they will end up dead.

Zhang Anping did not explain, but said:
"Just follow this plan - don't release the water for now, do you understand me?"

The last sentence was directed to Shen Zui.

"Don't worry, Commander Zhang."

"You two should leave now. Given Tang Zong's personality, he won't let me leave now. Bring the radio over when you get there, and I'll contact you directly."

"Yes!"

After Wang Tianfeng and Shen Zui left, Lin Nansheng came in.

"Teacher, the police station has arranged a few people to coordinate, but I think they are here to keep an eye on you."

Zhang Anping didn't care. Tang Zong didn't want him to leave for fear of leaving the Police Headquarters behind.

It is obvious that this is because they are afraid that Zhang Anping will have the most to himself.

"Go to Bishan County and contact Lao Cen urgently."

"First, let Lao Cen contact Global Trade and withdraw $39. The money will be handed over to our comrades in Chengdu. This money will be used to cut off ties with Global Trade. Global Trade has experience in this regard."

"Second, have Lao Cen come to Bishan as soon as possible and establish contact with the comrades in Bishan. Have the comrades in Bishan conduct a secret investigation around Bishan to see which village has been unusual recently and which landlord has sold grain to unfamiliar people during this period. The time limit should be extended to within 20 days!"

"Once you get the news, don't alert the enemy. If you do alert them, just reveal your identity and tell them that we can help them!"

Lin Nansheng was stunned. He realized that Zhang Anping wanted to... form a partnership!

"Teacher, this kind of thing..." Lin Nansheng stuttered, "I'm afraid the organization won't agree."

“Take from the people and give back to the people!”

Faced with these eight words, Lin Nansheng was speechless.

After thinking for a while, Lin Nansheng still objected: "Now that the Bureau of Secrets has gotten involved, the police station has invested a lot of manpower and resources. We are trying to fish in troubled waters."

Zhang Anping shook his head and said:

"It's because the Secret Service got involved that we can do our job - don't worry, I have a plan in mind, and nothing will happen."

Seeing that Zhang Anping was determined to do so, Lin Nansheng no longer objected and immediately nodded in agreement.

This time, Zhang Anping was tempted by the huge amount of extortion money.

390 million US dollars!

Although Zhang Anping has the treasury of Global Trade, he is still tempted by this huge fortune - not because he wants it, but because he wants to transfer the money to the organization.

On the way here, Zhang Anping already had a rough plan in his mind. The key now was to delay for time. As long as he could drag it out until he found out where these people were, and negotiate with them as an underground party member, the next things would be easier for Zhang Anping to handle.

Zhang Anping believed that the agents involved in the kidnapping, after getting rid of the bandits' deception, would most likely choose to hide in the dark - that is, to hide in the villages around Bishan County.

[It all depends on how the comrades in Bishan do their grassroots work! ]
