Chapter 443 Price
The little guy is naturally Zuo Zhong.

His original plan was to squat in the tea shop after putting on makeup, use the supplies in the safe house to find Old K first, and then track and confirm the real identity of the other party to see if it was an enemy trap.

But the result was surprising. There was nothing in the safe house, but a suspicious official appeared in front of him again. The other party had been to the official residence of the construction committee, and now he was wandering around the safe house.

This is by no means a coincidence. According to previous inferences and existing intelligence analysis, the official residence is the location of Wei, an underground party in Jinling City. Suspicious officials went there for important mission contacts or reports.

When I saw this person for the first time, perhaps because he was not familiar with the surroundings of the official residence, the other party showed some flaws, which meant that this person had never been to Jinling before, at least not to Wei, Jinling City.

important task.

Lai Ning from other places.

Assuming that the other party is the old K who took over Zhang Anren's work and temporarily transferred to Jinling from other places, and the important task is to establish contact with Qiu Chan, then everything has a reasonable explanation.

There was only one situation that was beyond Zuo Zhong's expectation. He did not expect that his contact person was an official. In official circles and institutions, unless the status was very high, he would not be able to move freely.

Besides, there is also attendance check in the party organization. It is hard to imagine that the other party can stand by the radio station in the morning, noon and night, waiting for the telegram.

But after thinking about it again, the old K's task is to contact and communicate, and he doesn't need to engage in intelligence, and he doesn't need to care too much about other people's opinions. There are people like this in any yamen.

Zuo Zhong mechanically wiped the table, joyful yet somewhat annoyed, if he had confirmed the other party's identity earlier, there would be no point in probing and probing, and handing over the detailed information directly.

For example, the Secret Service Headquarters and the Secret Service worked together to monitor Wei in Jinling City.

For example, the traitor who cooperated with Dai Chunfeng in the national government was called Yu Hong.

For example, the reason for Yu Hong's rebellion was to embezzle funds from the party organization.

For example, the living conditions and dangers of the underground party in Tiger Bridge Prison.

However, it was not too late to report back. Detective Meng Ting was busy collecting news everywhere, and at one place he was wandering around Jinling with the purchasing personnel from the official residence. The cleanup operation of Tiger Bridge Prison was still on paper.

As long as the plan is proper, not only can the dreams of Dai Chunfeng and Xu Enzeng be shattered, but also some captured comrades can be rescued, depending on how courageous old K and the underground party are.

He already had a preliminary plan, but he lacked the necessary external conditions, so he had to wait patiently, do the preliminary preparations, and launch it at any time when the time was right.

After Zuo Zhong wiped the table, he glanced at the residential area in the distance. If he guessed correctly, Old K should be secretly observing here. He is indeed an old underground worker who was ordered in danger.

The small road where this shop is located is considered an important traffic road. Although other alleys can also pass through, the width is too narrow, and pedestrians and vehicles coming and going are used to going to other places from here.

The other party understood that as long as someone controlled this position, safety would not be guaranteed, so he first acted to screen out suspicious persons for the tea shop. This kind of sensitivity and vigilance are rare.

Moreover, he just received the telegram yesterday, and found out the internal situation of Suzaku Street in less than 24 hours. He is experienced and cautious. The partner sent by the superior is indeed not an ordinary person.

As for Old K's behavior in the tea shop, I'm afraid he was testing his reaction, and I don't know if the other party has seen the flaws. After all, the two of them met briefly in the Central Hospital.

Zuo Zhong is very confident in his acting skills. After all, he has practiced with Lao Dai for two years. Now he will see the effect of the camouflage and Da Bolang's skills.

Xu Wei clearly observed the tea shop. After a close observation, the boss and staff inside looked normal, they were ordinary people, and their reactions were in line with their identities.

But he was still a little worried. After walking more than 100 meters away, he found a small intersection and sat down. On the surface, he rested his feet, but actually monitored their every move to ensure safety.

A few minutes later, looking at the busy young man, he frowned subconsciously. This person was too lively and slick, and he looked more like an old stick in the officialdom than a man.

He has seen this kind of people a lot in institutions, and they are all very successful. They will make people unconsciously develop a good impression, even a sense of dependence, and stab you when you trust the most.

The problem is that a guy at a roadside stall, why does he give people such a feeling? Is it because he thinks too much, or is the other party a good seed in the officialdom who has gone the wrong way? Xu Weiming gradually fell into deep thought.

Through the brief conversation before, it was obvious that the guy was a foreigner, and his blunt Jinling dialect had a Ludi accent, which was a normal manifestation of foreigners trying to integrate into the local area.

The other party is also very skilled in making tea, and subconsciously took Zhucheng green tea, which is a kind of tea produced in Lu Province. It looks like an ordinary northern youth who came to Jinling City to seek life.

Such a person has been in the arena for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will become slippery. However, it is best to observe for a few more days to be on the safe side.

Xu Weiming thought for a while, then shifted his gaze to the shopkeeper. The broker specially introduced the tea shop, explaining that he was familiar with this shop. The tea shop had obviously been open for a long time, and the owner was unlikely to be a spy.

With a judgment in his mind, he slowly got up and walked into the alley, deciding to go to the material receiving point to have a look. He wandered around for a long time, passing by once was not conspicuous, and deliberately bypassing it would be self-inflicted.

Holding a notebook in his hand and looking at the number plate on the wall, he walked around and walked to No. 24 Suzaku Street. Everything around him seemed normal, and there was no suspicious person in his sight range.

Of course, this does not mean that this place is safe. The spies may hide in the house to monitor, or observe from a long distance from the commanding heights. He still has a lot of work to do, so he must not act rashly.

Mistakes can only be made once.

He already knew that he went the wrong way the first time he went to Wei, Jinling City. A Guo Party official should not take that muddy charcoal road. This is a small omission, but the consequences may be very serious.

An old comrade-in-arms of Xu Weiming was in charge of grassroots intelligence work in the White Area. He hid his identity very well and was safe and sound. Later, because of a urination, Kang Ze's Rangers discovered the loophole.

Just because there is a local custom, untie big hands to go to the backyard, untie small hands to see gender, men can be settled in the street or directly in the courtyard, women can go to the woodshed, the problem lies in this matter.

The Rangers went into the village to search, but they found nothing at first. They grabbed a bunch of things and prepared to retreat, but when the spy saw the urine stains on the high wall of the firewood house, his old comrade-in-arms was exposed.

This is a convenient place for women. How can there be such a high mark? There is only one explanation for this matter, that is, a man went to the toilet in the house, but why didn't the man go to the yard to pee.

Definitely can't see people.

Who would do that.

Only underground party members.

So the enemy lay in ambush outside the village, and a dozen comrades stepped into the encirclement without realizing it. After a fierce battle, they all died heroically, and their bodies were hanged inhumanely at the entrance of the village for public display.

The whole family of the villagers who took them in were also killed by these animals, and their neighbors were also imprisoned. Dozens of people from more than a dozen families lost their lives, and even the infant children were not spared.

A small mistake caused a regional intelligence network to be destroyed, and the villagers turned pale when they heard about the underground party, and the mass work that had been carried out with great difficulty was paralyzed.

Thinking of this incident, Xu Weiming's heart suddenly tightened, and he walked past the gate of No. 24 calmly on the surface, without looking for possible surveillance personnel, but continued to walk towards the south.

There is a viewing platform built in the previous dynasty. Although the height is not as high as the new building, there are many citizens who usually visit and do not need to do any registration. It is very suitable for surveillance work.

He walked through the quiet alleys, stopped from time to time to check whether he was clean, and finally walked into the platform unhurriedly and followed the stairs to the highest floor, and began to observe the situation of No. 24.

It was mid-afternoon, and the people working outside hadn't come back yet. Many houses were closed, and occasionally there were people walking around. It was women who dropped by with their children in their arms, and there were no adult men around.

The gate of No. 24 was closed, and there was no one in the courtyard. There were several glass windows in the main room facing south. Since there were no curtains, the scene inside was unobstructed, and it didn't look like there were spies.

Unfortunately, the kitchen on the east side cannot be seen.

Xu Weiming took a quick glance, then turned his head and pretended to enjoy the scenery. He had to find other commanding heights, especially the building located to the west of No. 24. Only then could he see the interior of the kitchen.

Soon, he locked three positions.

central bank.

telegraph office.

Jinling Party Headquarters.

For him, the most convenient monitoring point is the party headquarters. He can observe the target while sitting in the office. Not only that, the tea shop is also within the range of vision, which is not bad.

Xu Weiming rubbed his chin. Performing surveillance tasks in his own office has certain risks, but as long as you don't use professional tools such as telescopes, this kind of behavior is difficult to be caught.

The national government does not have any laws and regulations. It is not allowed to stand in front of the window and look into the distance. Besides, the purpose of surveillance is to determine whether there are enemies, not to identify the appearance of suspicious persons. It is enough to observe with the naked eye.

He leaned on the fence with a smile on his face, and looked at the tea shop from a distance. He saw a few customers chatting and spitting melon seed husks on the ground, and the boy was cleaning with a broom.

This incident aroused his interest. He wanted to see how the other party would deal with it. Normal people would be angry when encountering such a situation. The key lies in the way of handling the problem, which can explain many things.

With the behavior of the Guo party's secret agents, if they are teased like this, they will probably attack. Even if they don't, verbal provocations must be indispensable, after all, they have always been so arrogant and domineering.

But after a long time, the boy was still sweeping the floor diligently, but his movements became more and more serious, making the teahouse full of dust, and the guests had no choice but to push the melon seed plate aside.

"Haha, interesting."

Xu Weiming's eyes lit up.
