Chapter 261 The Disintegration of the Spy Group

After returning to the police station, He Yuzhu went straight to Lin Zheng to report the situation at the street government.

But he didn't take on everything right away.
"Brother Lin, the neighbors donated a lot of things to Sister Hongying.
Sister Hongying just asked me to bring you a message, asking if we should send a truck to deliver the supplies to the warehouse.
They’re almost full there.”

Seeing this, Lin Zheng did not hesitate and directly ordered He Yuzhu to
"Okay, in that case, you can go help Hongying and the others first, and then help transport the goods to the grain station and the store after you have transported the supplies from the street government."

Not only the neighbors and shareholders of Fengzeyuan have made some moves,

Even the spies in Peking were shocked when they heard the Peking Military Control Commission continuously broadcast news of victory at the front.

Some of them also became wavering.
At noon that day, He Yuzhu went to the street government to transport the food, quilts, cotton clothes and other materials donated by the people to the warehouse at Chaoyangmen for storage.

As soon as I got back to the police station, I saw a number of cowering civilians gathered around the police reception room.
He Yuzhu originally thought that something strange had happened in Shichahai and they were here to report a crime, so he went over to listen out of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, things turned out not to be what he thought at all.

As soon as he approached the police reception room, he heard Yang Xinyuan, who was in charge of answering the calls, ask with a serious face and a tone of surprise,
"Comrades,
We at the Shichahai Public Security Bureau very much welcome you to surrender yourself.
Could you please tell me about your positions and specific responsibilities in the Bureau of Secrets? I can also report to our Lin Bureau.

Director Lin may receive you personally later."

Then the spies nodded and bowed, with a fawning look on their faces, and said timidly,

"Comrade Public Security, we are just gangsters who were recruited by the Bureau of Secrets before the liberation of Peking. Now we are just small minions outside the Bureau of Secrets, without any positions or jobs.

Basically, there is no access to any confidential information.

Isn't it because our Volunteer Army has won victory after victory on the front line, and has beaten the United Nations forces into a panic, and the bald man has no chance to come back.
He felt that he would be finished sooner or later if he followed those people from the Secret Service, so he came to turn himself in.

I hope the Executive Yuan can give us a chance to mend our ways.

Comrade, rest assured, we will reform ourselves and become new people in the future, and will never cause trouble to you again."

When I heard them say that they were just small minions outside the Secret Service,
I don't know any secrets.
But after seeing that the joint forces could not defeat the volunteer army, he immediately ran over to surrender.

Although Yang Xinyuan, who was responsible for answering the call, was somewhat disappointed, he also felt that this was more or less a good start. Now only small fry appeared, but who knows, some important leaders might appear soon.

So he nodded to a few people.

"I believe you have also listened to the instructions from above that our Peking Military Control Commission has publicized.

It is the one that [the main culprit must be punished, the accomplices will not be questioned, and the meritorious ones will be rewarded]. As long as you tell the truth, you will be fine.

Then you guys sit here for a while, I'll go and inform our forestry bureau,

You can talk to him then."

"Yes, yes, comrade Public Security, we dared to surrender ourselves because we knew the spirit of the instructions of the State Council.

Don't worry, we will tell the truth when the commander comes."

Seeing how reasonable they were, Yang Xinyuan smiled and nodded, then walked out of the police reception room and prepared to look for Lin Zheng.
As soon as he came out, he saw He Yuzhu standing at the door.

"The pillar is back."

"It's almost noon now. I just drove back home and was about to go home to cook, when I saw these guys gathered at the door of your police reception room.
I thought something big happened in Shichahai.

But these guys are quite smart. They turned against us as soon as they saw that things were not going well. We have to have a good talk with them.
Let's see how they joined the Secret Service before liberation and who introduced them.

After two years in the Secret Service, it’s impossible for them to know nothing.”

"Definitely,

Although they are just a few peripheral minions, they at least know who their superiors are, which is at least a breakthrough point.
Ask them what they know first.

Then check whether they have blood debts owed to ordinary people.
See which of the following conditions they meet: [the main culprit must be punished, the accomplices shall not be questioned, and the meritorious ones shall be rewarded]. We will not do nothing just because they say they are peripheral members.

What pillar? I'm going to go find Director Lin first. It's getting late now, so you should go home and get busy!"

"Okay, then Brother Yang, I'll leave first."

As the saying goes, once there is a first, there will be a second. Not only in the Shichahai Branch, but also in other districts of Beiping, there were reports of spies turning themselves in.

Although they are all small fry on the periphery, just like the Shichahai Branch,

However, after the surprise interrogation, each branch office more or less understood some of the secret service's situation.
Got some information about spies.

Some police stations directly issued arrest orders.
Other branches ordered their comrades to track and monitor, hoping to find those spies of the Bureau of Secrets who were more deeply hidden.

But the secret agents in the Secret Service are not fools.

As their people were constantly being arrested by the Public Security Bureau, the spies who sensed the danger quickly activated their response plan, decisively abandoning those peripheral minions, changing safe houses, and cutting off all connections.

As a result, after arresting a large number of peripheral members, the Beiping Public Security Bureau did not find any important figures in the Bureau of Secrets.
This caused the work to come to a standstill.

Seeing this, the focus of the Beiping Military Control Commission's work shifted from arresting spies to carefully identifying those peripheral personnel who were captured.
Find out who they are and whether they are hiding anything.

However, due to the large number of minions captured during this period, the situation was extremely complicated.

It is impossible to complete it in a short time.

The time came to February 1951, 2, the second day of the Lantern Festival.
In view of the current complex situation,

The State Council issued the new "Daxia Regulations on the Punishment of Counter-Revolutionaries", which clearly stipulated the principles, methods, and trial and sentencing standards for dealing with spies and bullies.

Although the regulations promulgated by the State Council are just a deepening of the Double Tenth Directive last year,
But compared with 5 months ago,

Following the great victory at the front, the attitude of the people in Beijing became much more positive than last year.
This can be seen simply from the response to the Military Control Commission's propaganda activities.

This afternoon,

He Yuzhu had just come home from get off work to cook dinner when he saw Xu Fugui had already come back from get off work early.

Different from usual days,

He is now pushing a brand new bicycle with a huge object on the rack behind it.

At this time, he is showing off to his neighbors.
