Chapter 59: The Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows
Chen Wei looked at the low-key Liu Zhengfeng and frowned secretly. He usually keeps a low profile, but shows his edge at critical moments and wins people's hearts with his strength. What will happen in the long run?
How could Liu Zhengfeng have thought that Chen Wei would be wary of him? He didn't have time to care about these messy things. He thought about moving quickly to avoid being surrounded by the enemy.
"Stationmaster Tang, Captain Li, the commotion just now was a bit too loud, should we move?"
Tang Yunfu smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, you don't know that the Japanese garrison is in Suzhou City. It will take at least an hour to get here. We are not in a hurry. I have another important matter to deal with."
Li Feiqi asked, "Stationmaster Tang, what's the big deal?"
Tang Yunfu said with a smile: "Captain Li, I would like to introduce you to Guo Jiayu, the deputy station chief of Suzhou Station."
He waved his hand and said, "Deputy Station Chief Guo, come on, come and meet Captain Li."
A bald man in his fifties walked over quickly and shook hands with Li Fei: "Captain Li, nice to meet you."
Li Fei smiled and said, "Deputy Station Master Guo, I have heard a lot about you."
At this moment, Tang Yunfu suddenly pulled out his pistol and pointed the muzzle at Guo Jiayu's forehead.
This sudden change left everyone stunned.
Guo Jiayu was shocked: "Stationmaster, what are you doing? Be careful of an accident."
Tang Yunfu snorted heavily and sneered, "You traitor, at this time, are you still pretending to be confused?"
Li Fei was surprised: "Stationmaster Tang, what are you doing..."
Tang Yunfu's face was full of anger: "Captain Li, thank you for the telegram you just sent me. I finally know who recruited these Japanese traitors."
Liu Zhengfeng was startled. The chief of the Military Control Commission's Suzhou station was indeed a powerful figure. He had been smiling and calling him brother just now, but in the blink of an eye he turned his face and ignored him.
Guo Jiayu shouted, "Stationmaster, I am innocent. How did I become a traitor?"
Tang Yunfu was furious and shouted, "You still dare to quibble? Well, today I will make you die clearly. Let me ask you, Captain Li and his men were going to Wangjia Village to join us today. Only you and I knew about it. How did the Japanese traitors know about it?"
"Humph, you even set up an ambush in the village ahead of time, hoping to catch us all in one fell swoop. If it weren't for Captain Li and his men's alertness, your evil plan would have almost succeeded."
Guo Jiayu's face turned pale and he looked aggrieved. "Stationmaster, can you please be reasonable? Since we both knew about it, why did you assume that I was the one who informed the Japanese? Maybe you were the one who informed on them. Hey, Captain Li, please give me some advice."
Li Fei's heart sank. What Guo Jiayu said made sense. It seemed difficult to draw a conclusion on this matter. He was a guest coming from afar, so it would be best not to intervene in their dispute casually. He could only speak vaguely.
"Well, this..."
Tang Yunfu was so angry that he was fuming. He said angrily, "Well, you dare to blame me. I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Captain Li sent us a telegram this morning. I have never walked out of the gate of the yard. What about you? If I remember correctly, you went out once after lunch. Humph, aren't you going to inform on me? "
Guo Jiayu shouted, "It's too stuffy in the yard, so what's wrong with me going out for a while? I was only out for about ten minutes, what could I do? Don't slander me."
Li Fei frowned and glanced at Chen Wei. From the current situation, Guo Jiayu was indeed a major suspect, but there was no real evidence to prove that he was the informer. Now it depended on whether Tang Yunfu had more direct evidence.
Tang Yunfu shouted, "You still dare to quibble when the facts are in front of you? Humph, in this special period, I have the right to execute you first and report later. I will execute you first, you traitor who betrays me."
Guo Jiayu sneered, "You can kill me, but you want to put the hat of collusion with the Japanese on my head, no way. Justice is in the hearts of the people. With Captain Li of the Wuhan Station here, I'm afraid it's not your turn to mess around."
Tang Yunfu laughed loudly, "Justice is in the heart of the people. Well, let Captain Li handle this matter. Let him get to the bottom of it and let you die clearly."
Li Fei never expected this result, and couldn't help but look embarrassed: "This... You are from Suzhou Station, and your position is higher than mine, isn't it inappropriate?"
Tang Yunfu and Guo Jiayu rushed to say, "There's nothing inappropriate. Let Captain Li investigate. We have no objection."
Li Fei felt that this matter was extremely tricky, and he could not help but look at Chen Wei, wanting to ask for her opinion, but Chen Wei had no opinion and looked blank.
He had no choice but to look at Liu Zhengfeng, hoping that he would give him some advice.
Liu Zhengfeng was silent for a while, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He pulled Li Fei aside and whispered something to him. Li Fei listened and nodded repeatedly. His brows gradually relaxed and his face showed joy.
Li Fei coughed and said, "Since both station chiefs are willing to let me investigate this matter, given the special circumstances, I will not refuse. Before the investigation begins, I would like to ask my colleagues at the Suzhou station, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Except for Tang Yunfu and Guo Jiayu, the highest position held by others was team leader, which was below Li Fei. The Military Control Commission attached great importance to seniority, and no one had any objection.
Li Fei nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, now, everyone listen to my orders, tie up the two stationmasters and leave here immediately."
Tie up the webmaster ? Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to do anything, and the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
Li Fei was very smart. At this delicate moment, he chose to remain silent and did not urge everyone to take action.
Finally, Tang Yunfu got anxious and shouted, "Are you all deaf? Hurry up and do it."
Guo Jiayu suddenly laughed and said, "Let's get started. Stop wasting time."
The crowd then slowly tied up the two men, left the scene, and rushed to a safe house that Tang Yunfu had already prepared - Baiyun Temple, twenty miles away from here.
Baiyun Temple is a nunnery with only one nun in it - Master Jingyue, a nun in her forties. She is not a member of the Military Control Commission, but just a Chinese with a conscience.
Due to the war, the popularity of Baiyun Temple declined and there were very few pilgrims.
There were only seven or eight rooms in the nunnery. Li Fei ordered that Tang Yunfu and Guo Jiayu be detained separately, each in a room. There were about thirty people in Suzhou Station and Wuhan Station in total, so everyone had to make do with what they had.
After settling down, Li Fei immediately ordered the radio operator Qin Sihai to send a message to his superiors to inform them of the situation here. Half an hour later, he finally received a reply.
Li Fei went to the rooms of Tang Yunfu and Guo Jiayu respectively with the content of the telegram. The content of the telegram was: Boss Dai's oral instruction, to find out the truth within two days. If not, both of them would be subject to emergency wartime punishment and be killed without mercy.
Tang Yunfu and Guo Jiayu had similar reactions when they saw the contents of the telegram. They both acted righteous and insisted that they were innocent. Li Fei comforted them with words and then considerately untied them.
It was late at night and everyone was tired after a long day. They soon fell asleep and snoring could be heard from every room.
At five o'clock in the morning, a door suddenly opened and a man walked out. He tiptoed out into the yard, quickened his pace, passed the front hall, finally walked out of Baiyun Temple, and immediately ran towards Suzhou City.
