Chapter 287

The dinner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ended successfully, Bai Longdu walked away with a round belly, half of a whole charcoal-roasted suckling pig was eaten by this guy, Director Li was very proud of the superb craftsmanship of the cooks of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

But it's not without regrets, he hasn't said anything serious to Section Chief Zuo until now, seeing that Zuo Zhongyang wiped his mouth and wanted to leave after eating, he hurried to the door, there are some things that can't be delayed.

Director Li stopped Zuo Zhong: "Secretary Shen, I'm leaving so soon. To be honest, I have other arrangements after the banquet. By the way, I will introduce some friends to you. They are some officers of the Military Commission."

Finally came to the key thing, it was hard for him to endure it for so long.

With a slight smile on his face, Zuo Zhong looked at him without saying a word, until his face turned red, and then he said slowly: "Tell Major General Luo that there is nothing you can do about Mr. Luo's matter, but please rest assured.

Mr. Luo's life is not in danger. Originally, he should have been electrocuted to death on the electric chair, but since you have spoken, I will give you this face. I will release him only after the case is thoroughly investigated. "

Director Li was overjoyed when he heard the words, clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your kindness. Major General Luo is my old officer. If you want to ask me, I have to express it. I will leave everything to Mr. Shen.

By the way, the opening ceremony of the new building of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be held in a few days, and many diplomats will attend it. The Japanese side has sent an envoy to China. I think you should come and see it. "

"Oh? All right, let's go."

Zuo Zhong waved his hand, got in the car and drove towards the family area C of the Secret Service. Naturally, he made a few laps in the city. Along the way, he was thinking about the last news that Director Li said, the Japanese envoy is coming?

The diplomatic relationship between Japan and the Republic of China is very complicated. Japan’s top diplomat in China is a minister, not an ambassador. There is only one word difference between the two, but their meanings are completely different.

The full name of ambassador is ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, which is the highest level of diplomatic envoy. The full name of minister is envoy extraordinary and plenipotentiary, which is the second level of diplomatic envoy. Generally speaking, ambassador is more honorable.

Facing weak countries, the great powers only sent ministers, not ambassadors. Therefore, from the former dynasty to the Republic of China, most of the Western countries stationed in China were ministers, but Japan not only followed suit but was even more cunning.

Japan's current minister to China has Yoshiaki as ambassador. Of course, this is not to respect the Republic of China, but to take care of the feelings of Yoshiaki, a veteran diplomat. He is called an ambassador internally and a minister externally.

Zuo Zhong was driving the car, recalling the information of Jiming, a native of Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, graduated from Tokyo Higher Business School, passed the diplomat and consular officer exams in the same year, and entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He successively served as a diplomat in Hankou, Incheon and various places in Europe. In the early Republic of China, he served as Consul General in Shanghai for ten years. In the ninth year of the Republic of China, he was the Minister to Switzerland.

In the 21st year of the Republic of China, he returned to the Republic of China as an ambassador and minister, and set up the embassy in Shanghai. He hung out in Shanghai all day long, and was very familiar with the black and white big shots of the Republic of China.

This person has always advocated the friendship between China and Japan, and he can confuse the elites of the Republic of China who have illusions about Japan. Speaking of which, he is still a nobleman of Hase Ryosuke, and Hase Ryosuke's predecessor was driven away by the other party.

What would such a person do without the fancy world in Shanghai, and go to Jinling to attend the opening ceremony of the new building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? It stands to reason that it is enough for the Consul General of Nanjing to go there.

Zuo Zhong raised his vigilance. The Japanese will not do meaningless things. On January [-], there were shadows of Japanese diplomats stationed in Shanghai. Could it be that Jiming wanted to make trouble in Jinling?
This possibility is very high. In the past two years, the Japanese in Shanghai have fallen into the sand in Jinling and fell into the sand many times. As the general manager of the Japanese intelligence forces in Shanghai, Jiming cannot absolve himself of the blame.

If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had KPIs, Jiming would definitely rank at the bottom, and if he didn't give it a try, he would have to go back to Kyoto for retirement. From this point of view, the possibility of the other party doing things in Jinling was very high.

The more Zuo Zhong thought about it, the more disturbed he became. He went back to the Secret Service and called Gu Qi. He was on duty again today. Since he came to the Secret Service, Old Gu has rejuvenated for the second time. This is, he has become a workaholic.

Gu Qi put on his coat and said sleepily, "Section Chief, what happened?"

There was no disturbance in his heart. Every time he caught up with him on duty, something would happen to the section chief when he went to eat, and the intelligence section became more and more evil. Maybe, as Song Minghao said, there was something wrong with the section chief's feng shui.

Zuo Zhong didn't know what he was thinking, he told about Jiming's coming to Jinling, and by the way he also told his guess, Gu Qi woke up suddenly, it sounded like the person who came was not kind.

He quickly asked: "What should I do? Do you want to report to the seat?"

"Don't worry, sit down first." Zuo Zhong sat on the stool: "The report is affirmative, but we have to find a countermeasure. By the way, are there any abnormalities in the special high school personnel, and whether everything is normal in Nobita's place."

Gu Qi thought for a while, shook his head affirmatively and said: "No, the staff of the Super High School in Jinling are under our surveillance, brothers are very vigilant now, it is impossible for Du Zizi to happen again.

Nobita has not been in contact recently, this is a normal phenomenon, the last time he contacted him he said he was safe, I told him not to act rashly without special circumstances, let alone take the initiative to obtain information. "

"That's good."

Zuo Zhong said something, lit a cigarette and thought about it. You Jiming is a diplomat, and some methods cannot be used on him. Once the Japanese find out, it is to give the other party an excuse.

Even the intelligence department can't monitor him at close range. Who knows if the Japanese will set up a trap, it's better to find someone who is responsible for it.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, "Go to the Jinling Police Department and ask them to keep a close eye on the whereabouts of Jiming and his entourage that day. If you want to monitor them with great fanfare, you must let the Japanese find out."

"Is the section chief trying to startle the snake?" Gu Qi suddenly realized that this is a good way. The Japanese know that they are being watched, so they will at least restrain their actions, so as not to make troubles in Jinling.

He nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll arrange it at dawn. The police are also convenient to act in the name of protection. Then, should we send someone to take a look, or sneak into the police team to monitor?"

Zuo Zhong sneered: "Of course we have to send someone to watch, but don't use people from Corey this time. The Japanese will definitely take the opportunity to collect information on intelligence personnel. Our people must not reveal their identities."

Gu Qi questioned: "Let the Operations Department go?"

"Of course not." Zuo Zhong smiled slightly and said, "They will also perform field duties in the future, and it is also very dangerous to reveal their identities. Go find some Chinese tunic suits and send them to the chefs in the cafeteria."

"What! Canteen Master??"

Gu Qi was dumbfounded. What did the section chief think? The chefs in the cafeteria said they were from the Secret Service, but they didn't know intelligence skills or operational skills, so what's the use of going there.

Zuo Chong clapped his hands: "Yes, let them go. Anyway, it's just for the Japanese to see, and they don't expect to get any information. They have been in the office for so long, and they must pretend to be three-dimensional."

"This." Gu Qi said with some uncertainty: "The brothers usually come out and go in. They must be familiar with everyone's words and deeds. It should be no problem to pretend from a long distance."

"That's enough. There are people from the police station for personal protection inside, and intelligence personnel to watch outside. The Japanese will have scruples when they do things. Just send You Jiming away." Zuo Zhong made a decision.

Gu Qi had to admit that the section chief's idea sounded unreliable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, there is no more suitable candidate than the canteen master.

After all, they don't have to go out to work, and it doesn't matter if the Japanese took photos. At the same time, the identities of these people have been investigated many times, and their backgrounds are very reliable.

In the end, the masters were fat and strong, and after putting on Chinese tunic suits, they were quite imposing, which could really scare the Japanese who didn't know the situation of the Secret Service.

No one in the Secret Service dared to take Zuo Zhong's words as a deaf ear. The New General Affairs Section heard that Section Chief Zuo had borrowed people, and apart from anything else, he borrowed two people who were upside down and four people who were not good enough to form a team of six.

They put on Chinese tunic suits and walked around the office, terrified the unknown spies, thinking that these people were usually lurking in the cafeteria, and recalled whether they had said inappropriate words.

Coupled with a few old pistols with no bullets, the special mission team of the Secret Service was completed. Zuo Zhong went to check it out.

"Old Gu, tell them not to get close to the Japanese, or they will easily slip through."

"Yes, Chief."

After Zuo Zhong finished speaking, he put his hips on his hips, looked at the cook group who were happily walking forward, and showed a satisfied smile. When the Japanese saw these people, they should be able to see the traces of military training.

In addition to the cook, Gu Qi also contacted the Jinling Police Department. Bai Wenzhi heard that the Japanese envoy was coming to Jinling, and also heard about the problems, so he promised to send enough people to protect him.

It's worth mentioning that he followed the lead of Section Chief Yang's boss, and finally his wife of many years became a mother-in-law and took over as the chief of the Jinling Police Department.

The chief security officer of the capital is highly lucrative and risky. He was the first to be punished when the Japanese caused an accident. His predecessor, Old Wen, was scared to death by the complicated security situation.

I wish him good luck, Zuo Zhong smacked his lips, he has already reminded him that if something happens again, it will be his life, at worst, be more polite when arresting him.

A few days later, gongs, drums and firecrackers blared in front of the new building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Officials of all sizes, diplomats from embassies and consulates, journalists and celebrities from Jinling gathered together to witness the opening of the building.

Among these people, the most eye-catching one is Ariyoshiaki, the Japanese minister to China. He is the only minister-level diplomat present today, and he is also a Japanese diplomat who had a war with the Republic of China.

So journalists and diplomats from other countries were very curious, and interviewed and probed him after the inauguration ceremony. Jimin didn't say much, and left after saying a few diplomatic words.

However, in the evening, an explosive news spread that a Japanese diplomat disappeared in Jinling!
