Zhongkai's assassination shocked the entire Guangzhou, the National Government, the Kuomintang Central Committee, and the military held an emergency joint meeting. On the same day, it decided to establish a special committee headed by Wang Jingwei, Xu Chongzhi and Chiang Kai-shek, and granted the party, government, military and police full authority to strengthen control of the situation. The Liao case procuratorial committee was also established, with Chen Gongbo, Zhou Enlai, Yang An, Wu Tiecheng and others as members. Chen Gongbo was responsible for assisting the special committee in tracing the murderer.

When Zhuang Jihua entered the intelligence department, He Zhonghan was no longer the young officer with a high spirit and confidence, but a pale and haggard face, falling into self-blame and regret. Since the news of Liao Zhongkai's assassination came, He Zhonghan was deeply self-blame. He was too negligent. Zhu Zhuowen's strange actions in the comforting garden did not attract his attention. The actions of Hu Yisheng, Lin Zhimian and others made him relax his vigilance.

After Zhuang Jihua brought his troops back to Guangzhou, Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered him to hand over the troops to Hu Zongnan and let him take over the intelligence department again. Zhuang Jihua had calmed down at this time. Since things had happened and since history had not changed, let history develop according to its original trajectory.

After learning that Zhuang Jihua took over the Intelligence Department, He Zhonghan knew that Chiang Kai-shek was dissatisfied with him. Although he could find some reasons to swear, such as the intelligence department was established with too few staff and too many affairs, etc., he did not want to do this. He thought he should accept such a result. He was responsible for the assassination of the representative of Liao Party because Zhuang Jihua reminded him and even formulated a strategy for him. He was timid and retreated.

He Zhonghan handed over all the information about the activities he had collected recently to Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua studied it overnight and handed over a batch of arrests to Chiang Kai-shek the next day.

The top names on the list are the main suspects Zhu Zhuowen, then Hu Yisheng, Lin Zhimian, then Liang Hongkai, Lin Shuwei, Yang Jinlong, Zhang Guo, Liang Shize and other Guangdong generals.

"So many people? Is there any evidence?" Chiang Kai-shek asked Zhuang Jihua with the list. Although he publicly claimed to take revenge, he was very cautious in the specific implementation.

"The intelligence department's intelligence department shows that these people often gathered and discussed at the homes of Weiyuan, Wenhuatang Club, and Hu Hanmin, and they participated in the plot to plan the assassination." Although they didn't sleep all night, Zhuang Jihua was still full of energy.

"These people are important figures of the party, government and military, and I need direct evidence." Chiang Kai-shek said calmly that Hu Yisheng and Lin Zhimian were all confidants in the Hu Han people. Liang Hongkai, Lin Shuwei and others were subordinates of Xu Chongzhi. If there was no strong evidence and triggering their counterattack, the consequences would be difficult to say.

"Yes, I will hand over the evidence to the principal tomorrow." Zhuang Jihua said without hesitation: "But I need a condition."

"you say."

"Now the case is mainly investigated by the Public Security Bureau. But I can't trust Wu Tiecheng, and I think we will investigate this case ourselves. So I need the right to investigate the case."

"No." After considering it, Chiang Kai-shek refused Zhuang Jihua's request. Chiang Kai-shek knew very well that Wu Tiecheng was from the son of Sun Ke. Sun Ke also wanted to fall to Liao Di, and even he was suspicious, but this was why his people had to investigate.

"Principal!" Zhuang Jihua suddenly shouted excitedly...

"Cultural Revolution, I know what you want to say. I know what you want to do." Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand to stop Zhuang Jihua's words, and he suddenly stood up: "I was very angry and wanted to take revenge when the Liao Party representative was killed. But I can't destroy the Kuomintang and Huangpu because of this." Chiang Kai-shek supported the desk with his hands in pain, and his eyes were red: "There must be someone instructed behind the murder of the Party representative. And he must hold an important position in the Party. He may even be a leader in the Party. But because of this, we cannot directly interfere in the investigation. We must let others investigate. Even if we check the evidence, we can also be said to be fake. When we arrest people, we can be regarded as private revenge.... If we investigate, we can only ask them to investigate and we supervise."

This is politics. Zhuang Jihua understood that Chiang Kai-shek's first consideration was not to thoroughly investigate the case, but how to obtain the best interests. He must take this opportunity to get rid of some opponents, but now the strength of the Huangpu Group does not overwhelm the advantage, so he must occupy a political high point, which is the so-called local legal system, so that people from non-Huangpu Group can investigate. As long as clues are found, Chiang Kai-shek can arrest people legitimately.

"What if someone was perfunctory?" Although he understood the truth, Zhuang Jihua was still a little worried. Will Wang Jingwei and Sun Ke hide anything? He felt that this world seemed to be a chaotic world, a world where he could do whatever he wanted.

"Who dares," Chiang Kai-shek said coldly: "Even if you want to clear yourself or others, you have to find out some evidence."

Others, Chiang Kai-shek refers to Sun Ke and Hu Hanmin. Zhuang Jihua thought, and he simply pointed out: "Does the principal think Sun Ke and Hu Hanmin have any potential to participate in this matter?"

"Sun Ke definitely didn't." Chiang Kai-shek looked directly at Zhuang Jihua and answered coldly, resolutely and without doubt. Without mentioning Hu Hanmin, then Hu Hanmin...

"I understand, then what should I do?" Zhuang Jihua certainly understood that Sun Ke had a special identity and was the son of Sun Yat-sen. If he was involved in this case, he would beat Sun Yat-sen's reputation to the death

Fatal.

"What do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek asked back.

"Students believe that since we cannot directly investigate openly, we can investigate secretly; this is one, and secondly, we can prepare to close the Internet against Xu Chongzhi." Zhuang Jihua did not conceal his own thoughts directly.

"When, you go and do it." Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction. After reading the intelligence department, Chiang Kai-shek knew that Hu Hanmin was already a dead tiger and that the real thing to deal with was Xu Chongzhi, but he had not yet decided on what to deal with Xu Chongzhi. From the personal relationship, Xu Chongzhi was his elder brother and was very good to him. If he had to deal with him, what would others think of him in the future?

The air in Guangzhou was very tense. ** published articles in publications such as "New Youth" and "Guide", pointing out that the Liao case was a collusion between imperialists and elements, launching an attack on the revolution, and demanding a thorough investigation of the Liao case, completely eliminating the elements, and maintaining the purity of the revolutionary camp.

The National Government announced that the state funeral was held for Liao Zhongkai, and his coffin was parked in the auditorium of the Central Party Committee for the maintenance of Guangzhou citizens.

Three days later, the Liao case procuratorial committee reported to Wang Jingwei, Xu Chongzhi and Chiang Kai-shek.

"The murderer Chen Shun confessed that he was bought by Zhu Zhuowen in Hong Kong, and Zhu Zhuowen gave them 10,000 yuan," Chen Gongbo then took out a large bend ruler pistol from his bag and put it on the table: "This gun was picked up by the police at the crime scene. According to our investigation, the gun's license is private by Guo Minqing, the chief of staff of the South Road Command, and the wholesale license is Mei Guangpei. The bullet used by the murderer was obtained by Zhu Zhuowen from the arsenal, and Guo Minqing is Zhu Zhuowen's future son-in-law."

"Director Wu, did Zhu Zhuowen catch it?" Chiang Kai-shek interrupted Chen Gongbo's words and asked afterwards.

"On the day of the incident, someone saw Zhu Zhuowen leaving home and never came back since then." Wu Tiecheng replied, Chiang Kai-shek's face turned pale.

"Public blog continues." Wang Jingwei's face was also very bad.

"After investigation," Chen Gongbo glanced at Chiang Kai-shek without notice. After Zhu Zhuowen escaped, when the investigators were in a dilemma, Zhou Enlai suddenly brought a batch of intelligence and reconnected the broken clues. It was obvious that the batch of intelligence came from Chiang Kai-shek.

"In the recent past month, Zhu Zhuowen's activities were found that he and Hu Yisheng, Lin Zhimian and others frequently held meetings in Weiyuan, Wenhuatang Club and other places. We investigated the managers and hospitality of Weiyuan and Wenhuatang. They unanimously admitted that these people had participated in conspiracy, including Liang Hongkai, Wei Bangping, Lin Shuwei, Yang Jinlong, Zhang Guo and others in the Guangdong Army. These people are inseparable from the Liao case."

After obtaining the evidence, Chiang Kai-shek no longer hesitated. He directly ordered the arrest of Hu Yisheng, and Lin Zhimian. Lin Zhimian was quickly arrested, but Hu Yisheng was on the run.

After Lin Zhimian was arrested, he firmly denied his participation in the planning of the assassination, but he admitted to participating in the destruction of Liao: "I do not agree with Mr. Liao's behavior, so I agree with the destruction of Liao, but I did not participate in the assassination. I have nothing to do with the Liao case."

He Zhonghan was so angry that he trembled after receiving the confession: "***, avoid the important things."

"We will settle his account slowly. Now we are going to deal with Hu Hanmin." Although Chiang Kai-shek had not said it yet, Zhuang Jihua already knew who the next one was to deal with. Hu Hanmin's home was under the surveillance of the intelligence department.

Sure enough, the next night, Chiang Kai-shek ordered a search of Hu Hanmin's home. Zhuang Jihua was stunned when he received the order. Why was it a search? He asked Chiang Kai-shek if it was a search. After receiving a positive answer, Zhuang Jihua stopped saying anything.

When Zhuang Jihua brought people into Hu Hanmin's home, Hu Hanmin was no longer at home. Hu Hanmin was awakened by the sound of soldiers knocking on the door. When he heard that it was a soldier, he quickly fled from the back door to Wang Jingwei's home. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Chang Kai-shek wants to kill me, Chiang Kai-shek wants to kill me."

Seeing that he was pale and flustered, Chen Bijun felt a little contemptuous when he saw that he had a pajamas. But Hu Hanmin had been kind to them back then, and his current situation was that the couple could not stand by.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with Chiang Kai-shek? Is Zhantang related to the Liao case?"

Wang Jingwei used his eyes to signal Chen Bijun not to talk about this issue, but he poured a cup of tea and walked to Hu Hanmin: "Zhantang, this is not the case, just check Hu Yisheng. Don't worry."

But Hu Hanmin didn't believe it anyway. Liao Zhongkai was assassinated before, what if Chiang Kai-shek did the same? Looking at Hu Hanmin's appearance, Chen Bijun showed a hint of contempt on his lips: "Don't worry, Zhan Tang, I'll accompany you, I'll see who dares to touch you."

"It's best if you do this. Bijun accompanied you to Huangpu Island. Without the order of the special committee, Chiang Kai-shek would not dare to do anything." Wang Jingwei persuaded him, and Hu Hanmin became even more worried when he heard that he went to Huangpu.

Wang Jingwei called Chiang Kai-shek: "Jieshi, Zhan Tang is here with me. Although Hu Yisheng was involved in the Liao case, it does not mean that Zhan Tang should be responsible for this. However, in order to avoid suspicion, I want my wife to accompany him to Huangpu for a while."
