The news that Du Yuesheng resigned immediately after being elected suddenly became the hottest news in Shanghai. Various versions of gossip were circulated. Some said that Du Yuesheng was in poor physical condition, and some said that Du Yuesheng had suffered from superiors. Pressure, some people said it was an election scandal, but there is no consensus. On the contrary, the protagonists of the news, Du Yuesheng and Hengshe, have remained silent. Du Yuesheng even left Shanghai first and went to Wuxi and Suzhou to relax.

Due to the reports on the election situation in Shanghai's major newspapers for many days, and the dissatisfaction of some members of Hengshe with Du Yuesheng's sad departure, the whole of Shanghai showed a feeling of extreme dissatisfaction with this Senate President election, and it was difficult to get rid of it. After the brutal rule of the Japanese, the people needed the country to adopt a new attitude to achieve post-war democracy. Under such circumstances, an election that resembled a farce became the trigger for instability in Shanghai.

The most important factor that intensified these contradictions was the arrest of traitors. Since this arrest was carried out in many ways, and in order to enrich their own pockets, government officials intentionally or unintentionally expanded the scale and scope of the arrest. Personnel serving in the pseudo-government and business groups that had trade dealings with the Japanese were all within the scope of the investigation. Therefore, there were many random arrests and unjust, false and wrongful convictions.

For a time, everyone in Shanghai was in danger.

On this day, Zhuang Chongxian, who was lame on one leg, personally led people to find Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang who were staying in the hot spring hotel.

Since Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang came back from Thailand, they have been busy transferring people, funds and properties. After half a year, the matter finally came to an end. After receiving the news that Lin Xiaotang was returning to Shanghai, the two waited in Shanghai and planned to meet Lin Xiaotang. After meeting, they left together. The two of them knew early on that Lin Xiaotang planned to station troops in Japan and was secretly arrested by the Nationalist Government. Therefore, they deliberately concealed their previous momentum and acted increasingly low-key. The hot spring hotel and Fenghua Film Company were in harmony with each other. It was run by Tang Shengming together, and all the forces did not dare to intervene in it for the time being. The two of them hid inside and felt at ease.

When Zhuang Chongxian arrived at the hotel, he didn't even go through the door. The dozens of burly men in front of the door were all subordinates of Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang's gang. They didn't save Zhuang Chongxian any face, even if he showed his Songhu guard. The search warrant and arrest warrant from the headquarters failed to get through the gate. In the end, Zong Fei came forward and knocked down more than a dozen people in a row before he was about to break in.

"Boss Zong, what kind of fragrant wind brought you here?" Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang slowly walked out of the hall with a few of their men, looking at Zong Fei with frosty faces.

Zong Fei blushed, but before he could speak, Zhuang Chongxian, who was behind him, had already stepped forward with a cane, "We are on a business trip. Following the order of the Songhu Security Command, we will invite Boss Shen and Boss Ma to come to the center immediately." Take a trip to Tongshanghai Station.”

"Zhongtong." Ma Qixiang and Fatty Shen looked at each other, with playful expressions on their faces. "When did the Zhongtong not take charge of the party affairs of the government? When did the Zhongtong take charge of our businessmen's affairs?"

A smile appeared on Zhuang Chongxian's gloomy face, "Yes, originally this was not within our jurisdiction, but the case involved by the two of them was too complicated, involving the Wang Puppet Government's material control plan, as well as the relationship with Japan This is a major smuggling case involving the cooperation of several people. Therefore, we, the Central Military Commission, were ordered to jointly investigate with the military commander. This is an arrest warrant."

Zong Fei then said, "Boss, it's best not to resist pointlessly." As he said that, he inadvertently gestured behind him with his eyes.

Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang looked up and saw that there were more than ten troop transport trucks parked on the street in the distance, and machine guns mounted on the carriages were vaguely visible.

The faces of everyone in the gang behind Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang couldn't help but change.

Fatty Shen and the two didn't react much. They looked at each other, smiled and nodded, "It seems there is no room for bargaining today. No problem, we will definitely cooperate."

Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang stretched out their hands and allowed Zhuang Chongxian's men to help them put on handcuffs. Zong Fei couldn't bear it, so he turned around and walked away and got into the car.

Zhuang Chongxian was a little surprised. He did not expect that the arrest operation would go so smoothly. It seemed that the strength of a company that had been transferred to the security headquarters that had been prepared in advance was not needed.

Several people put Fatty Shen and Ma Qixiang into the car. At this time, two more cars came speeding along the hotel. The car was parked. Shen Zui got out of the car with several military commanders and went straight to Zhuang Chongxian. Zhuang Chongxian was stunned and hurriedly He saluted, "Director Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Zui chuckled, "Thank you for your hard work, Station Manager Zhuang. Since the case is jointly handled by our two families, we can't let you run the errands alone. It seems that the efficiency is indeed very high. Everyone has been caught, right?"

Zhuang Chong nodded first.

"In that case." Shen Zui looked very satisfied, "then please trouble Station Master Zhuang to take the prisoner back for interrogation. We received an order that Ma Qixiang and Shen are just two shareholders of the Hero Nightclub and the Hot Spring Hotel. , there is no need to involve more people in what they committed, so the order from the top is for us to search the business premises, and after the search is completed, business can continue as usual. Does the Central Government have any opinions on this?"

Zhuang Chongxian knew very well who were behind these industries, and he could not afford to offend these people for a while, especially Tang Shengming. Although he was deprived of military power by being promoted or secretly demoted, he and his brother Tang Shengzhi still have considerable influence in the government. After all, neither the military commander nor the garrison headquarters wanted to mess with people like this, so why should he bother with it? Therefore, Zhuang Chongxian fully agreed with Shen Zui's suggestion.

"That's good." Shen Zui smiled and gave Zhuang Chong a military salute, then introduced an officer with a mustache behind him to him, "This is Bai Qi, the deputy director of our Military Unification and Justice Department. He just graduated from the military I have been transferred from the International Division and have rich experience in handling cases. This time I was specially ordered to cooperate with me in handling the material control case. Let him go back with Station Commander Zhuang to interrogate the criminals together. After all, we are jointly handling the case."

Bai Qi smiled slightly, and his beautiful beard curled up unconsciously, "Stationmaster Zhuang, please give me some advice."

Zhuang Chongxian felt a little unhappy, but after all, this time it was the military commander and the central commander who jointly handled the case. Both sides were worried about each other, and it was natural for them to send people to supervise each other. Zhuang Chongxian had no choice but to nod and agree.

Zhuang Chong first arranged for several of his men to "cooperate" with the military commander to search the hot spring hotel and Hero Nightclub, and then hurriedly left with Bai Qi. Shen Zui asked his men to move a chair and sat directly at the door of the hotel, enjoying the rare sunshine in winter.

Zhuang Chongxian's men and the military commander's men rushed into the hotel and began to search for the required documents, information and physical evidence. At the gate, the men and horses of the security headquarters had retreated, and it was much quieter in front of the door.

Without even noticing, a middle-aged man wearing waiter's clothes slowly approached Shen Zui.

Shen Zui held the steaming hot coffee in his hand and took a pleasant sip. Although he was obviously aware that a strange person was coming behind him, he still didn't raise his head and asked, "Are you ready?"

The middle-aged man helped Shen Zui add some more coffee, "They are all in the manager's office. People from the Central Government will find out."

"Have arrangements been made in Nanjing?" Shen Zui asked again.

"Everything has been arranged. Ma Qiwen and Zhou Fohai are willing to cooperate, which is also good for them."

Shen nodded with satisfaction, drank the coffee in one gulp, handed the cup to the middle-aged man behind him, and looked at him meaningfully, "Senior Shang, we have to say goodbye. I don't know when we will see each other again. We have been together all the way. treasure."

Shang Zhensheng smiled slightly, "Both you and I, take care."

…

Zhuang Chongxian and his men escorted Ma Qixiang and Fatty Shen back to the original office of the Military Intelligence Office in a hurry. The place had been replaced with the Zhongtong sign, and the security in front of the door was much stricter, because many arrests had been made in the past few days. There were quite a few people, so many people of all kinds gathered in front of the door to visit and plead for mercy. They walked anxiously looking forward to meeting Zhuang Chongxian, the upstart who had hurt him.

But Zhuang Chongxian would not give them this chance. With a command, his wolf-like men swept the door clean with short sticks in their hands.

Zhuang Chongxian leaned on his crutches and without even asking the Bai Qi around him, he directly ordered the men around him, "Bring the criminals to the interrogation room immediately and start interrogating them immediately. If they don't, they will be tortured immediately. There is no need to be polite to these two people." "

Zong Fei's expression behind him changed, "Mr. Zhuang..."

Zhuang Chongxian didn't listen to Zong Fei's plea at all, and waved his hand, "This is an order from the top. Within three days, these two answers must have a result. This is to eradicate the traitors and national traitors. There is no mercy."

Zong Fei had no choice but to look at Bai Qi for help. Ever since he saw Bai Qi for the first time, Zong Fei's heart was like boiling water. He didn't expect to see his former colleagues and colleagues at this place at this time. Brother, the two of them met at this time. Zong Fei felt a little guilty in his heart. The Officers Club back then was scattered in all directions. Lin Xiaojun, Zhou Chaojian and others had already sacrificed their lives for the country. He did not expect Bai Qi to have entered the military command. When they met at this time, Apart from accidents, there was no surprise at all.

But Bai Qi didn't seem to see his eyes, and just smiled slightly, "Stationmaster Zhuang's words are very true. Let's interrogate them first. These two people are Lin Xiaotang's right-hand men. They must know the inside story. If they don't arrest them, they will be punished." A must."

Zhuang Chongxian was very satisfied with Bai Qi's statement. Originally, he was worried that because Lin Xiaotang was a member of the military commander, Bai Qi would be biased. But now it seems that the military commander is eager to clear up the relationship with Lin Xiaotang. But it's no wonder. Hearing that Dai Li and Lin Xiaotang have never been very good at dealing with each other, and that the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly. Thinking of this, Zhuang Chongxian's attitude became much gentler, and he quickly arranged for Bai Qi to be moved to the room next to the interrogation room, and he stayed with him throughout the process. Monitor the interrogation process.

After the arrangements were made, Ma Qixiang and Fatty Shen were brought into the interrogation room. Before the interrogator could speak, Fatty Shen put his handcuffed hands in one move and said, "Don't ask, I'll do it, I'll do it all."
