Chapter 1238 Half

In the carport, Li Qiwu carefully locked his car, grabbed the briefcase on the handle, and staggered into the building.

After taking two steps, he looked back at the tattered bicycle, which made noises everywhere except the bell, and his eyes became moist.

These days, he has been having a very hard time. Not only has one of his men become a traitor, but the evidence has also fallen into the hands of his old rival Zuo Zhong. It has been a really bad year for him.

In order to get Zuo Chong to let him go, he sold all his property and paid an astronomical amount of bribes, only then was he able to escape safely.

  But what if you can get away safely?

The villa that had just been bought a few months ago was gone, and the car imported from the United States was also gone. The whole family was crowded in the dormitory, struggling to make ends meet on a monthly salary of a few dozen yuan.

The more Li Qiwu thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could break into Zuo Zhong's office, shoot this despicable man to death, and die together with him.

But after the impulse, reality made Li Qiwu lower his head again. The other party was Dai Chunfeng's student, and a fellow townsman valued by Director Wei. Moreover, he came from a wealthy family, so naturally he had a bright future.

On the other hand, although he is from Jiangshan and is a classmate of Dai Chunfeng, he has an ordinary family background and lacks connections and relationships with the upper class.

Compare? Compare with what?

The disheartened Li Qiwu took heavy steps and slowly moved towards the stairs. He ignored the greetings from the little spies like a defeated rooster.

Suddenly, the sound of an engine and the guards' shouting were heard coming from the direction of the gate. Li Qiwu and the other agents turned around and saw a car rushing through the gate.

"Someone broke through the checkpoint!"

"Take cover!"

The spies shouted at once, and Li Qiwuyi crouched down and hid behind a pillar, took out his pistol and pointed it at the car, his hands shaking with nervousness.

God knows who the person who broke through the checkpoint is. If there are dangerous goods in the other car and it explodes, all of them will be doomed.

But the car did not launch an attack as everyone expected. Instead, it stopped in front of the office building with a hissing sound. Miss Kong, dressed as a man, pushed open the car door and walked out aggressively.

"Is this Miss Kong? Oh, it's really Miss Kong."

Li Qiwu jumped out from behind the cover and ran towards Miss Kong Er, waving his hands.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, it's Miss Kong, everyone put down your guns."

Running and shouting, he rushed to Miss Kong Er and bowed deeply.

"I am Li Qiwu, the chief secretary of the Military Control Commission. I did not know that Miss Kong was coming. I apologize for not welcoming you."

Miss Kong was in a rage and was in no mood to talk nonsense. She didn't care about Qi Wu or Qi Liu. She immediately grabbed Li Qiwu's collar and asked in a cold voice.

"I'm asking you, where is the recording of Sima Linglong's interrogation? Give it to me quickly, or I'll kill you."

"What recording?"

Li Qiwu was a little confused, but the tight grip on his collar told him that the other party was not joking. In panic, he shouted at the little spy.

"Quick! Anyone who knows where the interrogation recording of Sima Linglong is? Tell me quickly so I can recommend him for a reward!"

"Director Li, the recording is in the confidential room." Someone replied.

After getting the answer, Li Qiwu immediately put the matter of asking for credit behind his mind, and smiled flatteringly at Miss Kong Er: "I know where the confidential room is. I will take you there."

He only uses people to help others and does not use them to help others. He is neither good at doing things nor good at being a human being. There is a reason why Li Qiwu is unpopular within the Military Control Commission.

Miss Kong loosened her collar and walked into the building with a gloomy face. Li Qiwu followed closely behind her, keeping a distance of half a body length from her. He kept giving directions, nodding and bowing like a servant.

"Pay attention to the steps. They are just around the corner."

After walking around the building for a few times, Li Qiwu led Miss Kong Er to an iron door. Behind the door was the Military Control Commission's confidential room, which contained many confidential documents and physical evidence related to the case.

Li Qiwu knocked hard on the door. When the confidentiality room staff opened the door, he pushed the other person aside, turned around and smiled: "Ms. Kong, please come in. I will ask someone to retrieve the recording immediately."

As he spoke, he pointed out Miss Kong's identity to the staff, then walked to the desk, wiped the chair with his sleeve, and asked Miss Kong to sit down and have a rest.

Upon hearing that it was the witch of the Kong family who came, the secret agents in the confidential room did not dare to delay. They took out the recording from the safe, brought a steel wire phonograph and started playing it.

Miss Kong Er, with an expressionless face, picked up the headphones and put them to her ears. Following a few electrical interference sounds, the voices of Zuo Zhong and Sima Linglong talking could be heard in the headphones.

"Miss Sima, I wonder which family you obey, Eaton? Hannah? Humphrey? Or Mather?"

In the recording, Sima Linglong did not deny the fact that she was a spy, and even challenged the interrogators several times.

Miss Kong was furious, but she remained calm. However, when she heard the next two sentences, she could no longer suppress her anger and slammed the table with her fist.

"You're using Miss Kong Er. Aren't you afraid that she'll cause you trouble?"

"Besides having a good family background and some basic marksmanship, what else can that stupid woman do?"

  Stupid woman!

These three words kept echoing in Miss Kong's mind. She helped Sima Linglong set up the Jinlan Society and introduced so many members to it, but the other party actually called her a stupid woman.

She knew what the government thought of her, but she was still somewhat sincere to Sima Linglong, although not much. The expression of the second Miss Kong changed from one to another, and then she suddenly stood up, and the chair behind her fell to the ground with a dull sound.

The young spy and Li Qiwu were startled and lowered their heads without saying a word. They felt a little respect for this woman named Sima Linglong. She even dared to scold Miss Kong. She was really brave.

"Stupid woman?!"

Gritting her teeth, she repeated Sima Linglong's evaluation of herself several times, with undisguised anger in her voice, and her tone gradually rose, almost shouting in the end.

In a rage, she grabbed the phonograph and smashed it to the ground. She walked out of the secret room without looking back. Her eyes turned blood red and she muttered, "I'm going to kill you."

Li Qiwu swallowed and vaguely saw a big black pot flying towards him, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

"You didn't see anything, and Miss Kong Er didn't come here today. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I won't let him off!"

After leaving behind a cruel remark that was as tantamount to covering one's ears and stealing the bell, Li Qiwu ran away. He had to find his old classmate, because only he could save him now.

However, before begging for mercy, he would first go home and call his wife, who was proficient in playing various musical instruments and singing. As for why he did this, it is not something that outsiders can tell.

From the window of a room upstairs, Zuo Zhong and Gu Qi looked at Miss Kong driving away and Li Qiwu standing up to ride his bike, smiled at each other, and returned to the coffee table to drink, waiting for good news.

In fact, the two did not wait too long. Half an hour later, Miss Kong Er appeared in front of the Jinlan Club and bumped into Sima Linglong who was about to go to the airport.

Seeing Miss Kong Er coming with ill intentions, Sima Linglong's face changed and she subconsciously opened her mouth to explain, but the other party did not give her the chance.

"Bang bang~~~~"

Two bullets flew out of the gun barrel, hitting Sima Linglong's abdomen and heart respectively. Amid the screams of the servants, she fell heavily to the ground and watched a pair of ladies' leather shoes slowly approaching.

Miss Kong Er's eyes were cold. She raised her pistol again and fired several more shots at Sima Linglong's head as she stretched out her hands to beg for mercy. She completed her revenge happily without saying a word.

The patrolmen and Military Intelligence Bureau agents who rushed over after hearing the gunshots witnessed everything, but no one dared to step forward to stop it, especially the police officer, who almost vomited when he saw the red and white on the ground.

Looking at Sima Linglong's wild imagination, the leaders of the Military Control Commission and the police station discussed and decided to report that the other party died of suicide. It didn't matter whether others believed it or not, they believed it anyway.

At the Military Control Commission headquarters, Gu Qi put down the phone, smiled, turned around and nodded to Zuo Dian, indicating that the operation was going smoothly.

Zuo Chong was not surprised at all. He stood up, stretched, moved his body, and said without interest.

"Old Gu, please ask someone to send the body to Renxin Hospital. Doctor Ling just happens to be short of experimental materials. This way, Miss Sima's body will not be left exposed in the wilderness. After all, we all know each other."

After expressing his “kindness”, Zuo·Cibeiweihuai·Zhong walked out of the room, slowly went to the guesthouse, and met Joanna’s family.

"Ms. Qiao, Mr. Pan, you two can go home now. This time we were able to successfully crack the Jinlan Society spy case, thanks to Ms. Qiao's help. I will ask for credit for you."

In the reception room, Zuo Chong thanked Joanna and her husband in a gentle tone and cordial attitude, as if they were chatting with friends.

Joanna and Pan Mingzhi's reactions were very calm. They only said a few humble words in return. They did not ask a single question about the case, and had no intention of seeking credit.

Their most important task now is to return to work. As for the case, they can wait until they get out to inquire about it.

Seeing the two of them so alert, Zuo Zhong shook his head helplessly. He was about to say something else, but he heard someone knocking on the door, so he casually said, "Come in."

The door opened, and Wu Chunyang and Song Minghao walked in together. They looked at Joanna and her husband, as if they had something to say.

"It's okay, go ahead. Ms. Qiao and the others are trustworthy friends. Besides, the case is over." Zuo Zhong waved his hand casually, telling Wu Chunyang not to worry.

"Yes, deputy seat."

Wu Chunyang tapped his heels and began to report the results of the investigation into Sima Linglong's subordinates. As Zuo Zhong had expected, Sima Linglong contacted some people after leaving the Military Control Commission.

Or perhaps because she was sure that the Nationalist government would not dare to take action against the Americans, Sima Linglong did not disguise herself when she contacted them. The First and Second Departments successfully locked down the identities and addresses of these people, including the middle-aged man who went to the Hongdian to test the waters.

After quickly reporting the information of the relevant personnel, Wu Chunyang asked Zuo Zhongyao how to deal with them and whether to impose secret sanctions.

Joanna on the sofa moved her ears and calmly tucked her son's collar, while Pan Anzhi lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything.

Zuo Zhong waved his hand and said absentmindedly: "The news just came that Sima Linglong was shot dead on the spot by Miss Kong Er. Withdraw the people and immediately send the information to the police department and let them take over the surveillance."

Wu Chunyang was a little surprised to hear the news, but he immediately replied yes and took Song Minghao to the police station to negotiate. Joanna and her husband also took the opportunity to get up and say goodbye.

After seeing off the four people who left one after another, Zuo Zhong sat in his original position and touched his chin. With Joanna's professionalism, she should be able to remember the information of those R-party agents who pretended to be underground party members, right?

Once the police department receives the information and the underground party has verified the intelligence, it will probably be time to "clean up the house."

You said it was a leak? The one who leaked the secret was Bai Wenzhi's subordinates, who had something to do with the Military Control Commission and Zuo.

The R Party is the same. Why pretend to be an underground party member when there are so many people to pretend to be? Pretending to be just anyone else would be fine, but they have to use seductive tactics. Do they really think the Northwest Office is a pushover?

Three days, three days at most, Zuo Chong felt that he would be able to receive reports of the "accidental deaths" of these people, and the case would be half settled.

As for the other half, we have to wait for a few months, then the R party will regret it, Zuo Zhong snorted coldly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
