Fang Ye didn't know much about Haruko Akagi's identity, but he knew that she was the Japanese Communist Party and should be considered her own person. However, Lu Xiyan knew that Haruko Akagi was a member of the "Rumga" group and came to China to serve as a liaison officer with the Shanghai Underground Party of the Communist Party of China.

If something happens to her, it will not only mean that the "Lamba" group may be exposed, but also the intelligence network of the Chinese Communist Party's Shanghai underground party will be exposed.

"Old Ma, we must notify our personnel who have contact with Haruko Akagi to evacuate urgently in case of an accident." After Lu Xiyan met Fang Ye, he ordered Lao Ma to say as soon as he came back.

"So serious?"

"Haruko Akagi has been placed under house arrest by Akagi Kiyoji, and obviously he has some doubts. Even if she is Akagi Kiyoji's daughter, she is afraid she will not easily get rid of the suspicion. Besides, Akagi Kiyoji is a cunning person, and no one can guess what he will do next." Lu Xiyan said, "You must make the worst plan."

"Okay, I'll notify the old ghost right away." Lao Ma nodded, changed his clothes and went out.

"Xiyan, what are Lao Ma going out to do now?"

"Oh, the flowers at home are almost useless. He will buy some and come back." Lu Xiyan explained casually.

"Didn't I see a big bag in the utility room a few days ago?" Meng Fanxing asked suspiciously.

"Maybe there is something private about me, I don't want to tell us, Meimei, don't be suspicious all day long. Lao Ma has been in our house for more than a year. Who is he? Don't we know about him?"

...

In the evening, Yan Lei came back nearly an hour earlier than usual.

Generally, something must have happened in this situation, otherwise, he would not have come back from get off work so early as a workaholic.

"A good thing?" Seeing the unhidden joy on Yan Lei's face, Lu Xiyan concluded that Yan Lei should have reported something happy.

"Yes, sir, Zhang Xiaolin is dead. This afternoon, he stopped breathing before he could reach the hospital." Yan Lei said happily.

"What's going on?"

"I haven't found out clearly yet. Anyway, I heard rumors outside that I heard two gunshots from Zhang Mansion. Then I saw Zhang Xiaolin's driver A Si drive out of Zhang Mansion in his car, rushing out of Zhang Mansion, rushing all the way to Huimin Hospital on Yuyuan Road. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaolin died before he could even walk the hospital." Yan Lei explained.

"Hurry and check it out. I saw who did it. Did the person escape?" Lu Xiyan ordered.

"Zhang Gongguan is on high alert, and it is probably difficult for the murderer to escape." Yan Lei said, "And I heard that the juris arresting room intervened immediately. Mr. Tang should know that there are more than me. Do you want to call Mr. Tang and ask?"

"Well, I'll call Tang Jin and ask." Lu Xiyan nodded.

...

Zhang Xiaolin was assassinated at his home and was killed by his bodyguard. This became a big news in Shanghai, and just the day after he received the letter of appointment from the new Nanjing government to appointed him as the chairman of Zhejiang Province.

The provincial chairman has disappeared before he took office.

The Zhang family was naturally extremely sad and asked the French arresting house to severely punish the murderer. Nanjing also put pressure on the French concession to find out the truth and give justice to the deceased.

The outside world speculated that the murderous bodyguard Lin Xuanhuai might have been bribed by Chongqing elements and assassinated Zhang Xiaolin, who was unforgivable.

However, after Lin Xuanhuai was arrested and entered the jurisprudence room, the content of his confession was very different. Lin Xuanhuai said that he did not want to kill Zhang Xiaolin, but he was so excited that he took out his gun to shoot. With his marksmanship, he would not have hurt Zhang Xiaolin. It was Zhang Xiaolin who suddenly leaned his head out of the window, and an accident happened.

As for why he was emotional, Lin Xuanhuai confessed that Zhang Xiaolin paid too low salary, only 20 yuan a month, and he couldn't support himself. He wanted to take leave at the time to do business, but was rejected and ridiculed by the bodyguard captain, Zhang Xiaolin's driver A Si. Then the two of them started arguing. Zhang Xiaolin, who was meeting guests, heard the quarrels downstairs, pushed the window and cursed. Then, he was angry, and he contradicted a few words. Afterwards, the fire became bigger and bigger, and he pulled out his gun, trying to scare the other party. Who knew that as soon as he fired, Zhang Xiaolin just poked his head out of the window and hit the head with one shot...

Lin Xuanhuai's father had a good relationship with Zhang Xiaolin and had a good family friendship. Moreover, Lin's father also served as the regiment commander in the Beiyang warlords' army. Lin Xuanhuai was also a Chinese arrester in the legal arrest room in the past, and later passed Zhang's driver Wang Wenliang to enter the Zhang Mansion.

It can be said that his family background is innocent and has nothing to do with Chongqing.

Therefore, according to the investigation of the legal arrest room, Zhang Xiaolin's death was at most an accident, but it was just an accident.

Accident?

Not to mention that the Zhang family doesn’t believe it, even outsiders don’t believe it.

But what about Lin Xuanhuai's motive for murder?

You said that he was bribed by Chongqing elements, or he was a Chongqing element, what about the evidence? It doesn’t count if you blame him, but you can only count if you find him online.

Although Zhang Xiaolin is an official of the new government, the case happened in the French Concession. Since Lin Xuanhuai is not a member of Chongqing, it is an ordinary criminal case, so even the extradition regulations cannot be used, and Lin Xuanhuai can only be detained in the judicial arrest room for investigation.

The Zhang family was naturally not satisfied, but who would support them when Zhang Xiaolin died? Even the Japanese side quickly withdrew a military police squad stationed in Zhang Mansion.

This really perfectly interprets what "the tea is cold when people walk away".

Lin Xuanhuai has been temporarily detained and the case investigation is still in progress. It is certain that Lin Xuanhuai must have something to do with Chen Mo, but I don’t know how they got along.

Anyway, Tang Jin would not make things difficult for Lin Xuanhuai.

This case is very clear, and there is no objection to the murder process, because there were witnesses on the scene and the suspect did not refuse to arrest him, which is also considered to be a certain surrender.

The key is how to determine the suspect's identity and motive for murder.

With Zhang Xiaolin's death, the position of the chairman of Zhejiang Province was vacant. For those who fight for power and profit, is the dead more important than the living?

Zhang Xiaolin's funeral was quite grand. The Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, the Navy Officer's Office, the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, and some celebrities in the Concession, Wang also specially sent a pair of elegiac couplets.

In the traditional Chinese concept, the death penalty is eliminated, and death is the most important thing. Anyway, when everyone dies, there is no need to disgust others. People who don’t usually deal with them will come to worship them in a hypocritical way, send them on their way, and say "Sadness and reconciliation".

Of course, Lu Xiyan would definitely not go.

Everyone knows the conflict between the two, and they want each other to die sooner. If they come to the door to worship in a hypocritical way, it would be a slap in the face.

Lu Xiyan is not that hypocritical and does not want to join those people.

As Zhang Xiaolin's coffin was transported to his hometown Zhejiang for burial, the attention of this case suddenly dropped, and everyone consciously avoided it.

After all, life is already hard enough, so I still have the energy to deal with other people's affairs. Besides, no one knows what will happen tomorrow in Shanghai whenever there is no one in this chaotic world?

What's the point of dying Zhang Xiaolin? Without him, everyone might have a better life.

Those who have had grudges with Zhang Xiaolin almost didn’t invite three or five friends to celebrate at home.

"Sir, Lao Gui asked me to tell you, Comrade Woodpecker reported, the farmer said that he would not contact her in the near future, and there was a traitor among the secret gatherings of the Tongwen Academy of East Asia." One day, Lao Ma came back from outside and brought news to Lu Xiyan.

"Are the traitors a member of the Shanghai Underground Party?" Lu Xiyan said in surprise. The Zangfeng group and the Shanghai Underground Party were two lines and there was no direct contact. However, if you want to contact the other party, you can coordinate through your superiors, but there is no direct horizontal contact.

"I don't know that some of the arrested people are members of the Party Group of the East Asia Tongwen Academy, mainly developing and uniting Chinese students in the East Asia Tongwen Academy. There are no other specific tasks. However, this exposure has brought great losses to our publicity and organization work in the Tongwen Academy. There are also those in the anti-war alliance of the Japanese Communist Party, which may involve the safety of the "Lamba" group in Shanghai." Lao Ma said seriously.

"Can you carry out rescue?"

"It is probably impossible to rescue. They are all imprisoned in the gendarmerie prison. This operation is closely related to a "Clearing the Communist Party" operation within the Japanese army." Lao Ma shook his head and said.

"Anyway, the traitor must be found, otherwise, someone will continue to be arrested and exposed." Lu Xiyan said, "Can you be sure that the traitor is among the arrested people now?"

"The Japanese should protect the traitors, arrest them together, and then find an opportunity to release them alone." Lao Ma said.

“Is there a list of arrested people?”

"Yes, this is not difficult. It is obvious who came to class these days and who has not come." Lao Ma said.

"See a way to get it done." Lu Xiyan ordered.

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible." Lao Ma agreed. In the past, Lao Mao gave Lu Xiyan a list. He only had the entire list. His members were spread all over Shanghai, including comrades in the East Asia Tongwen Academy.

Lu Xiyan divided these people into several parts, partly controlled by him, partly handed over to Lao Ma, partly to Lao Song, and Hu Yunzhi also mastered several people to avoid risks.

On the radio, the New Fourth Army won a victory in Huangqiao, but it was not with the Japanese army, but with the Kuomintang Han Deloitte's unit stationed in Huaibei.

Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing is now against the Communist Party, and against Japan, and against Japan, and against Japan, and against Japan is active. Moreover, since the Wang Puppet returned to Nanjing, many of the Kuomintang miscellaneous troops who were not loved by the grandmothers and uncles did not love each other and turned against them one after another, which had an extremely bad impact on the War of Resistance.

Mr. Su's headache broke out again. Lu Xiyan found several special medicines for him from abroad and sent them, which was said to have helped a lot.

Not long after, Lao Ma put a person's name on Lu Xiyan's desk.

"Old Ma, can you be sure it's him?" Lu Xiyan was shocked when he saw the name of this person, because he knew this person and was very familiar with him.

"I was also surprised when I heard this person's name, but Comrade Minghao repeatedly confirmed with me that someone saw him being arrested with other classmates, but the next morning, he returned to the college safely." Lao Ma said seriously.

"Is it possible that it is a misunderstanding? As far as I know, he should be not very interested in belief and ideology?" Lu Xiyan has learned about it.

"No, Comrade Minghao specially found many classmates to find out about it secretly. Although this person has changed his normal behavior in the college for nearly half a year, actively participated in various activities, and performed very positively. Sometimes there are even a lot of radical remarks. Many clubs have absorbed him into it and are an active member of the young teachers in the college." Lao Ma said.

"Check Yan Chaoxu immediately to conduct a secret surveillance and investigation. I need to know his activity trajectory in the past six months and who he usually interacts with." Lu Xiyan ordered.
