In order not to arouse suspicion from the Japanese and Li Zhiqun, Luo Xingchao conducted a detailed investigation at the secret agent headquarters. Almost everyone with suspicion investigated, even if the people around Li Zhiqun were summed up, they reported to Li Zhiqun.

"Director, I have investigated all the people who stayed at the headquarters on the night of the 29th, but because of heavy rain that night, many people simply did not go home and rested at the headquarters for a night, so there were a lot of people.

The heavy rain wiped out all the traces. Patrol personnel and guards spent the whole night sheltering from the rain in the house. After asking for a long time, they found nothing."

After hearing this, Li Zhiqun was also quite troubled. He was not only worried about everything, but also injured himself. He really didn't have the energy to investigate this matter personally, so he could only leave it to Luo Xingchao to deal with it. If Luo Xingchao could not find the clues with Luo Xingchao's ability, it can be seen that this work is indeed very difficult.

He thought for a while and then said, "Then put the work on the infirmary and see if anyone has been to the infirmary frequently recently. To complete the poisoning procedure, a lot of preparations will be required."

Luo Xingchao agreed quite well, but he spread his hands and said, "I thought of this problem, but it is a bit difficult to actually investigate it. Because of the conflict with Ding Mo during this period, we have too many wounded people and the work in the infirmary is very busy. Many people deal with and change the dressing every day, and the workload of the investigation is too great.

Also, we found that the door lock of Chen Zhaohua's consultation room was not damaged, and there were no valuable traces found in the room. This shows that the person who started the attack was a veteran. Not only did the preparation work well, but he also had a certain level of handling traces. I judged that it was not an ordinary Qing Gang family, but a special agent who had received certain training. So I screened the personnel who stayed at the headquarters that night, but most of the personnel in our special agent headquarters were Central Command personnel, and they may have received training in this area. I have confined thirty-three people such people.

Among these 33 people, nine of them may have contacted the arrested information of Deputy Director Wang, all from the interrogation department and the operation team. However, they all proved each other that night and did not have time to go to the infirmary to poison. I couldn't find any flaws from their conversations."

Although Luo Xingchao did not deliberately blame others according to Ning Zhiheng's instructions, such a long period of investigation must always have results, without any achievements, which can easily arouse people's suspicion, so he still selected several suspects to challenge Li Zhicha.

Li Zhiqun listened very carefully and nodded. From these analysis, it can be seen that Luo Xingchao was very attentive. The workload of this screening work is quite large. It is already good to be able to do this.

He pondered for a while and continued, "If you go to the infirmary to poison it, it will not take long, and it will probably only be twenty minutes. The insider only needs to find an excuse to go out for a while to complete the work. Therefore, it is almost meaningless to prove this to each other. Just focus on these nine people and continue to investigate."

Luo Xingchao had nodded and agreed, and then asked, "Director, when I was talking to Director Zhang today, he said that on the evening of the 29th, he was on duty in the office alone to handle some official duties, but no one could prove his whereabouts throughout the night. Later, he said that he was sorting out materials and formulating an action plan. The plan has been reported to you. I want to know if it is true?"

Li Zhiqun nodded after hearing this and said, "It's true. He has gained some results in those two days, so he is very confident. He wants to make a plan. Later, the plan was handed over to me, but it is a bit difficult and it is not easy to implement. In addition, the current situation of our agent headquarters is really hard to take into account. I plan to carry out this plan for a while, and it will be put on hold. Why, do you suspect it is Zhang Jingyao?"

"No, no, the director misunderstood. I am definitely not suspicious of Director Zhang. I just want to verify some necessary procedures during the investigation. Speaking of which, I am not very sure whether my judgment and the direction of the investigation are correct. I can only give it a try. The director knows it well and should not be misled by my judgment."

Li Zhiqun laughed when he heard this. He was very satisfied with Luo Xingchao's caution. He had to say that this person was careful in doing things, was skeptical about everything, and did not blindly overestimate his own strength. There were really not many agents with such a clear understanding.

He nodded and said, "Zhang Jingyao's history is very clear. He is an old Central Commission for the Central Commission for Discipline. Logically speaking, the Central Commission for Discipline and the Military Commission have always had no relationship. He is an undercover agent of the Military Commission's Intelligence Department. This is indeed unlikely, but if everything happens, you cannot take special care of him. You still need to check the places you should check. I have said a long time ago that this inner demon should be the person around me, so no one is exception!"

"I understand. I will do more work to see if I can gain something." Luo Xingchao nodded immediately and agreed.

Li Zhiqun sighed and continued, "Xingchao, you don't need to be too stressed. The so-called planning is up to people, but success is in heaven. This time it is indeed a bit difficult. It is understandable that the Shanghai Intelligence Department is not an ordinary intelligence department. This time I finally learned their methods. If you don't take action, you will have a thunder attack. It almost destroyed the secret agent headquarters and me. I am really afraid. If you don't dig out this ghost, I will be unable to sleep or eat!"

Luo Xingchao nodded quickly and said, "I understand, please rest assured, Director. I will do my best to complete the screening and dig out this inner demon!"

Li Zhiqun nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked with a hesitant look: "Xingchao, did Zhang Jingyao explain anything to you?"

Luo Xingchao was stunned, but quickly reacted and hurriedly replied: "No, except for his whereabouts that night, he said nothing. As for his materials and action plan, he was tight-lipped. I knew it was a bit inconvenient, so I didn't ask. Then I came to you to verify it."

Luo Xingchao's words made Li Zhiqun feel embarrassed. He waved his hand and explained: "Xingchao, I definitely don't mean this. In fact, I should not hide anything from the agent headquarters. If you have any questions, you can ask directly without any scruples.

I mainly tell you that this plan involves a group of prisoner rescue officers. I have promised you before that all the military commanders will be transferred to your first place, but this time it is a bit special. I plan to transfer these officers into the operation brigade to train and train our operational forces. The disadvantages of this operation brigade are fully revealed. What’s the use of relying on people alone? It’s not that we are overwhelmed by being beaten. In the future, we must strengthen their combat effectiveness so that they can really come in handy.”

Luo Xingchao had known the reason for this from Zhang Jingyao before, and said he would not care. After a few simple conversations, Luo Xingchao got up and said goodbye.

Although the results of this report did not satisfy Li Zhiqun, he still saw Luo Xingchao's seriousness and hard work, and was glad that he did not choose the wrong candidate.

That night, Luo Xingchao met Ning Zhiheng at the contact point, reported on the investigations over the past few days, and focused on the plan mentioned by Zhang Jingyao.

"Saturday, Zhang Jingyao and Li Zhiqun are both nervous about this plan. I had the opportunity to check it out, but in the end I still felt something was wrong, so I gave up this opportunity."

Ning Zhiheng heard Luo Xingchao describe the situation in detail, and agreed with his decision and said, "You have done a very good job and you must not contact information directly. We need to obtain information, as long as we must ensure our safety. You are in the devil's cave, surrounded by the eyes of the enemy. If you are not careful, you will be implicated. In short, be careful and there is no big mistake!"

Ning Zhiheng is now becoming more and more satisfied with Luo Xingchao's performance. It has to be said that in the long-term work behind enemy lines, Luo Xingchao grew very fast, and his ability can be completely independent, which makes Ning Zhiheng very relieved.

He then asked, "Zhang Jingyao mentioned that the plan formulated is targeted at the New Fourth Army? This is a bit strange. He interrogated the officers he rescued. How could he involve the New Fourth Army?"

Luo Xingchao also shook his head and said, "This is indeed very strange. However, the two armies of the New Fourth Army and the New Fourth Army are entrenched in southern Jiangsu at the same time. There is inevitably a place where there is an intersection between them. What should we deal with this information?"

Speaking of this, he looked at Ning Zhiheng with a hesitation expression. He did not know the boss's attitude towards the New Fourth Army.

Within the Kuomintang, the attitude towards the Red Party is not unified. Some people think that everyone is Chinese and faces foreign enemies, they should be unanimous and do not distinguish between each other. However, there are still some diehards who believe that the Red Party is a confidant and must be eliminated sooner or later. Of course, Luo Xingchao himself belongs to the former, but he is not sure which faction Ning Zhiheng belongs to?

Ning Zhiheng looked at Luo Xingchao's expression and immediately smiled: "The New Fourth Army and Rescue are both teams of the Anti-Japanese War. Now the two parties work together to fight against foreign enemies, and they should not distinguish between each other. Now they have difficulties, and we cannot stand by. We still have to investigate, clarify the information, inform them in time, and avoid losses."

Luo Xingchao's face suddenly relaxed when he heard this. Even in this special period, the Kuomintang still had concerns about the Red Party. Many people dared not express their closeness to the Red Party. This was mainly influenced by the political atmosphere within the Kuomintang since the White Terror.
