Chapter 152 Trivial matters at home
After all, Zuo Xuechen didn't make up his mind. Relocating his family is not a trivial matter. No one wants to leave their hometown unless it is absolutely necessary.

However, he still made another preparation, preparing to sell some scattered assets and land properties that are prone to depreciation in the near future, such as mines, which are difficult to sell in the short term, and rent them out for a long time.

According to Zuo Zhong's suggestion, the proceeds are diversified and invested in mining in Australia, investing in farms in New Zealand, and investing in real estate in the Americas. In short, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Late.

The goal of returning home this time was half accomplished. As the situation worsened, Zuo Zhong believed that his grandfather and father would have a wise judgment.

After dealing with the affairs at home, Zuo Zhong focused on finding the spies on Mount Putuo. The first thing he did was to send out some of the spies. A few people formed a team and pretended to be reconnaissance in Ningbo City, collecting basic intelligence.

Because of the special nature of Ningbo, the East China region has almost no power here, let alone the investigation office of the party headquarters, Zuo Zhong can't do anything now, and he will teach the other party a lesson when the case is solved.

So the intelligence department could only use the clumsy method of disguised reconnaissance to collect information. Fortunately, the Zuo family had a lot of local industries, and these spies were not conspicuous at all. Song Minghao was in charge of these scattered teams, and they were stationed in a hotel.

He handed over the Mount Putuo area and the commander of the operation to Gu Qi, and Zuo Zhong also had many relatives and friends in Ningbo City, so it was inconvenient to show up too much.

Three days later, Gu Qi found Zuo Zhong with a smile on his face: "Section Chief, our people have seen Tongsuo. That little guy has already sneaked into the Guanyin Temple in Mount Putuo, and he is highly valued by the temple supervisor."

Zuo Zhong was not surprised: "For he is smart, I gave him more than 1000 yuan for activities."

Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as the rich are eloquent and generous, it is difficult for the copper lock to be unpopular. The temple relies on him to inquire about the news. Zuo Zhong can't help him too much. After all, the profession of a monk is difficult to disguise, just like a ship that Japanese.

Then he said: "Brothers, pay attention, Tongsuo has not received professional intelligence training."

Gu Qi understood that he was worried about Tongsuo's life safety: "Using your family's goods store in Mount Putuo, a team of ten people has lurked near the temple and is ready to support at any time. Unfortunately, there is no extra radio station, and the message transmission is a bit slow."

Zhoushan hangs alone overseas, forget about the phone, and rely on the ships that pass by every day to deliver messages.At the same time, radio stations are very sensitive equipment, and it is basically impossible to buy or borrow them in Ningbo.

"I will ask the people in the cargo company to send three boats a day, and people will not stop on the boat, so there will be no delay in any information about Putuo Mountain." Zuo Zhong had no way to solve the obstacles of nature, so he had to sacrifice his ability.

古琦
"Yes, Section Chief, I will let them pay attention. In addition, the intelligence network in Ningbo City has been laid down, but it is only on the surface. It is my negligence."

Zuo Zhong poured him a glass of water, and Chen Ken said: "Ningbo dialect is from different villages, so it's not easy to be superficial. Old Gu, you don't have to be so polite, it seems to be born. I'm still that Zuo Zhong, isn't it? What a rich young master."

He noticed that since he saw the Zuo family's wealth, the people in the intelligence department respected him more and more. This is not a good thing. On the battlefield, people will not block bullets for you just because you are rich.

He was able to achieve his current position by taking the lead and sharing life and death with his brothers, not by money and these gorgeous mansions.

Gu Qi took the water glass with both hands, and smiled on his face: "Okay, I understand. Section Chief, I want to ask, is there any point in collecting information about Ningbo? The suspicious person is in Mount Putuo."

Zuo Chong patted his thigh: "That's right, this is your Gucci character, you've held back for a long time."

Gucci was a little embarrassed, touched the Mediterranean Sea, he really wanted to ask this question a long time ago.

Zuo Zhong got up, took out a book from the bookshelf, turned to a page and pointed it to Gu Qi: "Take a look, this is the local chronicle of Ningbo, let's talk about it after reading it."

Gu Qi looked down, and there was one thing recorded on it. During the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent many monks and businessmen to Ningbo to study culture and business, and at the same time learned a lot of Ningbo language.

He was watching, while Zuo Zhong explained: "So there is a folk rumor that Ningbo dialect is very similar to Japanese dialect, but in fact they both inherit some characteristics of ancient Wu dialect and Middle Chinese."

Gu Qi was even more confused, what exactly Zuo Zhong meant, why did he talk about language, he was good at inquiring about news, but he didn't understand these things.

Zuo Zhong pointed to one of the lines, and said in his mouth: "The words are similar, the trade exchanges are endless, and the former residence of Yongri has more than ten thousand people, do you see this sentence?
This was the case in the Tang Dynasty, it was the case in the previous dynasties, and it is even more so today. How many spies are there among these people? Can we check all the Japanese? "

Gu Qi understood what Zuo Zhong meant. The Japanese had already become a part of Ningbo society. It would not work to use Jinling's method to find spies here. You can only find out if you go deep into it.

He closed the book, convinced: "Don't worry, section chief, I will explain clearly to everyone."

Zuo Zhong nodded: "I'm from Ningbo, so I know about these things, hurry up, I think the Japanese are not just lurking.

For example, various coastal defense facilities in Ningbo and Hangzhou Bay are numerous throughout the Republic of China, which is very attractive to intelligence agencies, what do you think.

There is also Fenghua, the hometown of the chairman, which is the most important thing. If something goes wrong, you and I have a hundred heads that are not enough to cut off. "

Gu Qi knew this very well, he saluted and said: "Leave these to me. I am not as good as young people in mobile skills, but when it comes to hard work, I have plenty of patience. I must investigate deeply as soon as possible."

Zuo Zhong listened to Gu Qi's self-effacement and said nothing, and patted him on the shoulder, saying everything without saying anything, the old Gu Gan's information is really good.

In the days that followed, Zuo Zhong completely put down his work in the intelligence department, chatted with his parents, and took his younger brother to exercise. The time passed quickly, and the Lunar New Year was almost here.

During the period, Zuo Zhong accompanied Zuo Zhong's mother, Mei Huizhen, to his grandfather's house. I don't know what Mei Huizhen thought, and brought He Yijun with him. Zuo Zhong felt that something was wrong, but He Yijun didn't seem to mind, so he persuaded The words swallowed back in his stomach, he is a straight man, but not a fool.

Zuo Zhong's grandfather and mother Mei Huizhen's father used to be a comprador of a foreign firm, and he was very familiar with foreigners from all over the world, and he was also quite famous in the Shili foreign market.

The little girl Zuo Duo was so excited when she saw her elder brother, she hugged Zuo Zhong around several times, but in a blink of an eye she became He Yijun's little fan girl. Independent women in this era are very admired by young people.

As for the current situation and the relocation, Zuo Zhong didn't mention a word. To be honest, his grandfather was a bit superstitious about the power of European and American powers. He certainly wouldn't have imagined how courageous the Japanese would be. Father go talk.

The little girl Zuo Duo went home, probably because she heard the news that Smiling Tiger was back, the Ningbo Party Headquarters Investigation Office was scared, and it was smart not to send anyone to investigate the so-called underground party suspects.

Zuo Zhong is comfortable, and the others are not bad. The butler of Zuo's family is very caring, and provides the best accommodation for the spies everywhere. If Zuo Zhong hadn't strictly prohibited it, certain industries in the city would be blessed.

With the help of Zuo Zhong's grandfather and father, Shen Dongxin, a miserable guy, was finally spared a severe beating, but he was entangled with Zuo Zhong.

"Zuo Zhong, you and I have been good friends since childhood, now that my friend is in trouble, you must help me."

Seeing the rascal Shen Dongxin, Zuo Zhong took out a pistol from his waist, slapped it on the table and asked, "I didn't hear clearly just now, why don't you say it again?"

Shen Dongxin looked serious: "I said that I, Shen Dongxin, want to serve the country. I wonder if you, Zuo Zhong, can give me a chance. Please."

"Hmph." Zuo Zhong snorted coldly, and retracted the gun: "You are like this every time, boy, I am not responsible for causing trouble when I was a child, you run away."

Shen Dongxin chuckled, and pinched Zuo Chong's shoulders in a doggy way: "That was before, this time I'm serious, you don't know, I studied the military police department at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy, and you policemen It can be regarded as a colleague, okay?"

military police?Zuo Zhong really didn’t know that Shen Dong’s new study was Gendarmerie. Gendarmerie is the police in the army. It is indeed similar to the function of “police”, such as guarding and defending certain important places and government agencies, escorting supplies, interrogating, etc., except for one thing, they are A professional unit in charge of affairs in the military.

Zuo Zhong thought for a while, then frowned and asked, "Is it the general military police or the special military police?"

This has to be asked clearly, general gendarmes are soldiers, and special gendarmes have the color of intelligence personnel. Zuo Zhong himself does not want to cause trouble, nor does he want to cause trouble for Shen Dongxin. This matter is very sensitive.

Shen Dongxin was cautious, hesitating, and hesitantly said: "I have learned a little bit, don't I feel that there are too many skills to overwhelm me, right?"

Zuo Zhong's eyes widened in an instant, and he quickly pushed him away: "Don't hurt me, special military police, do you know how sensitive this job is? I should detain you on the spot, waiting for the investigation and screening of professional organizations, you Go, go quickly."

Both the army and secret agents are the most secretive places in a country, and the secret service gendarmes are involved in both. The Republic of China welcomes foreign students from the infantry, artillery, and cavalry departments of foreign military academies, but never welcomes self-funded intelligence students with foreign backgrounds.

Shen Dongxin sighed in frustration, with a heart-to-heart look: "I really have nothing to do with the French, besides, do you think the French are thinking about doing intelligence now? It is all of them' wish to live a stable life .

My grades in subjects at the military academy were very good. I think the school expelled me, apart from fighting, it probably also meant that I didn’t want a Chinese to learn too much information science. After all, the subject is very sensitive. "

Zuo Zhong stared at him without saying a word, and after a while, until Shen Dongxin started to blush, he got up and said: "Come with me, just talk and don't practice tricks, try your skills."

Shen Dongxin happily followed Zuo Zhong away, what he said was true, and he didn't want to go to some military academy and suffer for a few more years.

The two came to a wonton stall on the streets of Ningbo, which was their favorite place since they were young. The boss saw them and served two bowls without asking. They are old customers and know the taste.

Zuo Zhong gently blew away the seaweed in the bowl, looked up at the passing crowd, and said in a low voice, "Ahead, five meters, the woman under the Mipu signboard, remember all the characteristics in five seconds and repeat."

Shen Dongxin also glanced at it, and it didn't take five seconds at all. He immediately lowered his head and ate the wonton, and repeated: "Female, aged 40 to 50, about 150 centimeters tall, wearing a blue jacket on the upper body, and a long black coarse cloth on the lower body." Pants, black cotton shoes on the feet, and orchid-shaped silver hairpins on the head."

Zuo Zhong drank the soup base in one gulp: "Let's go, go and see your marksmanship again, you are not allowed to check your marksmanship."
