From Shanghai to Nanjing, it would take five to six hours by train and at least seven hours by car. The road was full of potholes and mud. Fortunately, the road was smooth and nothing happened.
At midnight.
The three cars entered the city gate of Nanjing.
During the Republic of China, Nanjing was the capital of the National Government. It was heavily guarded, especially at night. It was not easy to enter the city.
The guards of Nanjing were the direct descendants of the Central Army. Without a particularly strong relationship, ordinary people would not open the city gates.
Liang Xiao personally got off the car, took out his ID and handed it to the major and deputy battalion commander guarding the city. He said seriously,""I have something very important to do in the city.”
The major looked at Liang Xiao's ID and saluted,""Hello, sir. It's night time now. No one is allowed to enter the city.”
"Get out of the way. I have important military intelligence to report.”Liang Xiao's voice turned cold.
The major took a step back and raised his hand. In an instant, hundreds of guns were aimed at Liang Xiao's group.
"Sir, let me repeat myself. It's night time now. No one is allowed to enter the city.”the major said firmly.
Liang Xiao glanced at the major, thinking that the troops guarding Nanjing were Old Jiang's direct troops. Even the commander's men couldn't do anything to them.
"Lend me your phone. I have a confidential document here that has to be sent into the city. Since I can't enter, I can only let them come out and get it.”Liang Xiao said.
The major thought about it for a moment. It was a troubled time, and the commander was the eyes and ears of the highest leader. Perhaps the other party really had an urgent military situation.
"Yes, but only you can go in.”
"Alright."
Liang Xiao handed his gun to Jiang Tao and went into the guard's duty room alone. He used the guard's phone to call the mansion.
The phone rang many times, but no one answered.
He thought about it again and again. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of his teacher at Huangpu Military Academy, General Zhang.
He quickly called Zhang Gongguan. After a while, a deep voice sounded,"I'm Zhang Wenbai."
"Teacher, I am Liang Xiao." He habitually puffed out his chest and raised his head, standing in a standard military posture.
General Zhang smiled." It's Feiyu. This is the first time you've called me after returning to China."”
"Teacher, this student is outside the gates of Nanjing and has something important to do. The city guards won't let him through.”Liang Xiao said bluntly.
"Give the phone to the officer guarding the city."
"Yes, I am.
Liang Xiao handed the phone to the major.
After the major picked up the phone, he immediately puffed out his chest and said,""Yes, I will follow your orders.”
After putting down the phone, the major said respectfully,""Sir, you can enter the city now. I'll get my men to open the city gate for you.”
Liang Xiao took back his documents and brought his men into the city, heading straight for the Dai Residence.
When he arrived at the Dai residence, he found out that the priest was not at home.
It was already very late at night. The priest had not returned home yet. He probably would not come back.
Helplessly, he could only wait at the door. After all, this matter was of great importance and involved many famous people in Shanghai. If he did not handle it well, he would be implicated.
About an hour later, two cars stopped at the entrance of the Dai Residence.
A middle-aged man got out of the car in front. He was staggering as he walked, probably drunk.
Liang Xiao immediately got out of the car and jogged forward. He saluted,"Your Highness."
The minister turned around and saw Liang Feiyu standing in front of him. He thought he had drunk too much and was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes. When he took a closer look, he saw that the person was extraordinary and was wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform. Who else could it be but Liang Xiao? He could not help but ask,"Why did you come to Nanjing?"
"I have something important to report to you. Telegrams and phones are not safe, so I could only rush over from Shanghai overnight.”Liang Xiao said solemnly.
Dai Li had been in the intelligence business for seven to eight years. His intuition told him that Liang Xiao must have reported something important. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way from Shanghai.
At this moment, his mind became calmer. He said,"Let's talk in the room."
Liang Xiao followed him into the Dai Residence and came to the study.
The secretary brewed a cup of strong tea for Dai Li. After he drank the sobering tea, he said in a deep voice,"What exactly made you come all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing?”
Liang Xiao handed over the report he had personally written to the chief. It recorded the details of the case and the information of all the members of the Japanese spy organization, Sakura Group, including the government officials and military officers who had been instigated by the Sakura Group, as well as the details of the Jianghu people and financial capitalists.
After Dai Li finished reading the report, his hands trembled as he held the report. His expression was unprecedentedly nervous and serious.
"Is there anything wrong with this report?"
"Reporting, Sakura Group leader Sakata Masanori and Sakura Group member Miyamoto Jiro have been brought to Nanjing. You can interrogate them at any time.”
Hearing him say that.
Dai Li was only 70 - 80% convinced.
The contents of this report were too shocking. Second Master Zhang of the Qing Gang was a figure as famous as Du Yuesheng. How did he get involved with the Japanese? There was also the president of the Liang Jiang Chamber of Commerce, Yu Zhenjiang, who was famous in the Songhu Hangzhou area. He was a big shot in the business world. In the early years, he had even funded the principal's Northern Expedition to Wu Peifu. How could he have been instigated by the Japanese? There was also the director of the Shanghai City Government Office, Shi Huhang, the deputy director of the Shanghai Police Headquarters, Cheng Dun from the Ministry of Industry, and so on.
"Your Excellency, this is only the list of officials of the Chinese Dynasty that Sakura Sakai and Miyamoto Jiro have instigated to defect. There's also the fish in the net, Ozawa Mili. If we control her, I believe that the list of officials that she instigated to defect will definitely be very heavy.”Liang Xiao said.
Dai Li's gaze sank into deep thought. The slogan that the authorities had proposed was to resist foreign aggression before settling down at home. However, the situation in Shanghai was critical. A mere Japanese spy organization had actually instigated so many influential figures to defect. This meant that the Japanese were stepping up their invasion of China. Moreover, this was only a spy group. There must be other spy groups. He did not dare to imagine how many people had been secretly instigated to defect.
This matter had to be reported to the Commissioner immediately. After all, Second Master Zhang and President Yu on the list had a close personal relationship with the Commissioner. He did not dare to make a decision without authorization.
The minister put down the report and was silent for a long time before saying,""The commissioner shouldn't be asleep yet. I'll go report to the commissioner. You can take my car and go with me.”
Liang Xiao was slightly stunned. With his current level, he was not qualified to meet the leader. The leader actually wanted him to travel with him.
"You handled the case. If the commissioner asks about the situation in Shanghai, it's best if you answer.”Dai Li said.
Liang Xiao stood up and said,"Yes, I will listen to your orders."”
Dai Li made a call to the servant room in front of him. Then, he changed into a set of clean clothes and washed up to get rid of the smell of alcohol.
"Let's go."
Dai Li called out to Liang Xiao to go out together.
At the gate, Liang Xiao asked Jiang Tao to bring his brothers to the Juntong Guest House to stay. Sakata Changshou and Miyamoto Jiro were temporarily under his watch. He would make a decision when he returned.
He then boarded Dai Li's car and headed for the highest authority in Nanjing.
