Chapter 656 Pang Chong
In the quiet reception room, Pang Chong held up his teacup and blew gently on the floating foam, and kept silent all the time. This is the attitude of many people facing the Secret Service.

Zuo Zhong, who was coldly received, was not annoyed. He also shook his teacup and looked at the other party with a smile: "Let me introduce myself, my humble Zuo Zhong, deputy director of the Secret Service, you should have heard of it."

"Pang has heard of the name of Deputy Director Zuo. I don't know what you are doing here. Our Training Director Department doesn't seem to have any business relationship with your Secret Service. If you have anything to do, please speak up."

Pang Chong replied indifferently, but his eyes were looking straight out of the window, his emotions were not fluctuating at all, and he didn't even bother to maintain the hypocrisy on the official face, obviously he didn't welcome their arrival.

Gu Qi on the side noticed his contempt and couldn't help frowning. Which department saw that the Secret Service didn't greet him with a smile, but was treated so rudely today. How could this person have the courage.

"Ha ha."

Hearing this, Zuo Chong put down his teacup and smiled, his smile seemed very sincere: "Everyone's time is precious, since Chief Pang doesn't give brother face, then I won't beat around the bush.

We came to you because of the death of Lu Yongan. I hope you can cooperate well with the investigation. I want to know whether Vice President Lu has mentioned the names of Su Zifu and Yang Changqing to you. "

"Sorry, I can't help you guys."

Pang Chong glanced at Zuo Zhong, and said casually: "Old Lu's tone is very tight, I saw that he was restless and asked him a few times before, but he didn't say anything, you can ask other people.

Also, can you not come to the agency to look for Pang in the future? You all know what the military thinks about the Secret Service. "

What he said was very straightforward. The orthodox soldiers in the training directorate didn't like the Secret Service, nor did they like people who were close to the Secret Service. After all, which department didn't have a little secret.

"Oh haha."

Zuo Zhong clapped his hands and laughed loudly when he heard this: "Pang Ke, you don't have to be nervous, I am not targeting you this time, but I was ordered by the leader to investigate the death of Lu Yongan, so I had to come.

If you can cooperate with our investigation, I will report the details of the case to the army after the investigation is over, so that everyone can know your contribution. This will be a good thing for you. "

"This...is pretty good."

Pang Chong's eyes lit up suddenly, he stroked his beard and changed the subject: "Pang is not a greedy person, the main reason is that Lao Lu's death is not clear, as a friend, I can't watch him die in peace.

But he really didn't tell me about Su Zifu and Yang Changqing. Well, if Deputy Director Zuo is reassuring me, I'll ask other old friends to see if I can find any clues. "

"Loyalty is forever! Zuo admires it."

Zuo Zhong gave a thumbs up and praised, and Gu Qi also let out a chuckle with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The other party just seemed to be indifferent to answering, but immediately changed his mouth when he heard that he was credited, bah.

Since there were benefits to be gained, the atmosphere between the two sides gradually became harmonious. Pang Chong even took up the teapot and filled the teacups.

After pouring the tea, he picked up the teacup, twirled it, paused, and raised it to his mouth, signaling Zuo Zhong to drink with Gu Qi. Zuo Zhong noticed the small movements of Pang Chong's hands, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

Afterwards, the three continued to exchange pleasantries for a while. After drinking tea, Zuo Zhong stood up and said goodbye. Pang Chong sent them to the door. Before leaving, he repeatedly promised to give the Secret Service a reply as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Chief Pang, goodbye."

Zuo Zhong held the opponent's right hand tightly and shook it, looking very happy, then turned and walked towards the parking lot, pretending not to notice the various prying eyes in the training director building.

Pang Chong stood there to see him off, and then returned to his office with a calm expression until he could no longer see the two of them. He picked up the phone and told his family that he would be home later tonight.

Besides, Zuo Zhong, who returned to the car, withdrew his smile, and ordered Gu Qi beside him: "There is something wrong with this person, immediately carry out comprehensive monitoring. I want to know his every move, so be careful."

"Okay, Deputy Director."

Gu Qi was secretly shocked when he saw the speed of Zuo Zhong's face change. Pang Chong actually had a problem, but how did the deputy director know? According to his observation, Pang Chong's behavior was normal and there was nothing abnormal.

Perhaps guessing what he was thinking, Zuo Zhong snorted coldly: "Did you see the movement of the other party turning the cup when toasting? It is the Japanese word for harmony in the four spirits of Japanese tea ceremony: harmony, respect, purity, and silence.

In Japanese values, 和 represents peaceful harmony, that is, the harmony between people. Whether it is the guest or the host, words and actions must conform to the meaning of harmony contained in the tea ceremony.

This person made that action subconsciously, maybe he stopped immediately when he sensed something was wrong, the reaction was very natural and quick, telling the brothers not to stick close to the investigation, this opponent is very difficult to deal with. "

"Pang Chong is Japanese!"

Gucci exclaimed, they had checked each other's backgrounds before, they had all the experiences from childhood to adulthood, the resumes were complete without any gaps, and the relationships with family, relatives and friends were perfect.

How could such a person be a Japanese spy? An imposter, but Pang Chong's relatives, classmates, and friends were not blind, and his childhood photos also proved that he was not transferred.

As for traitors defecting to the enemy, it is even more impossible. A spy is not a job that can be done by just looking for someone. It must go through strict training. This person's life trajectory is normal, and he has not disappeared for a long time.

Zuo Zhong signaled the driver to drive, pulled up the curtain on the car window and said, "Go back and give me Pang Chong's file. No matter how perfect the background is forged, there will be loopholes. A fake is a fake. It can't be true."

"Understood, Deputy Director."

Gucci didn't think too much about it. They suspected that the other party had a problem and didn't need evidence. If they couldn't find any evidence, they would monitor them for one day. If they couldn't find evidence, they would monitor them for a month. They could always find evidence.

Unless this person is inactive in the future, he will show his flaws sooner or later. What is really lacking, there is no clue about the follow-up of Lu Yongyi's case, so Pang Chong bumped into it head-on.

This is a good start. If the other party has contact with the Japanese intelligence organization behind Su Zifu, this clue will be very valuable, such as helping them find the person who released the bacterial weapon.

All the way back to Honggong Temple in silence, it was already off-duty time, the spies went out in twos and threes, Gu Qi immediately arranged surveillance personnel, and sent someone to find Pang Chong's file.

Zuo Chong ate something casually, and sat at his desk without sleep all night. During this period, the surveillance personnel reported back Pang Chong's behavior after they left. The other party invited some friends in the army to meet at night.

It seemed that this guy was not lying, and indeed inquired about Su Zifu and Yang Changqing in Lu Yongyi's network as agreed.

Pang Chong, male, 47 years old, native of Hunan Province, was born in a local church hospital.

Zuo Zhong looked at these materials over and over again, the more he read, the doubts in his heart grew stronger, his eyebrows frowned into a word of Sichuan, and finally he got up and walked to the window, watching the morning sun rising slowly from the sky and fell into deep thought.

The information of the other party is normal. Birth, study, joining the army, marriage, and having children, everything is done step by step. It is the same as the life of most grassroots officials of the Guo Party. There is nothing wrong with it.

But he always felt that something was not quite right, sometimes the more ordinary people are more terrifying, the more ordinary people are more suspicious, the more ordinary people are more likely to do some shocking things.

Turning around and walking to the desk, Zuo Zhong recalled the basic information about Pang Chong's family. The other party's parents were alive, his wife was ordinary, and his children were doing well. They had nothing to do with Japan.

Let’s look at this person’s service experience. He has been serving in the middle and low-level positions in the field troops. During the Northern Expedition, he bravely killed the enemy and was seriously injured without leaving the line of fire. He led his men to attack an important city first.

If he hadn't been on the wrong team later, he wouldn't have been a section chief until now. One must know that those who participated in the Northern Expedition with him, those with the lowest ranks all became division chiefs, and the gap was too great.

Just seriously injured and unable to go to the line of fire?

Zuo Zhong knocked on the table. There were many such people during the Northern Expedition. After all, the state of vigor and vitality was not something bald and boastful.

The point is the injury. If the internal organs were seriously injured and could survive until now, wouldn't it be a god? Do you really think you are the captain of the Republic of China? Will there be any problems in this?

Zuo Chong pondered for a moment and called a special agent on duty to go to Song Minghao to obtain Pang Chong's medical records. These things should be in the archives of the Central Hospital, so it is very convenient to find them.

The fact is the same. It didn't take long for a document to be sent to the Secret Service. The paper was a little yellow, and it recorded all the injuries, treatment and diagnosis of Pang Chong after he joined the army.

Turning to the page during the Northern Expedition, the records clearly stated: The right upper arm was seriously injured, the shrapnel was embedded in the flesh and blood for more than an inch, and the bleeding continued. After the war, he was treated in a field hospital and recovered.

Strange, there is no problem, Zuo Zhong closed the document and put it aside with a puzzled face, could it be that Pang Chong is an ordinary person who has learned Japanese tea ceremony culture, or is it wrong, how can there be such a coincidence.

After thinking for a while, he went out to the telecommunications department and sent a telegram to Hunan Province, asking the other party to investigate some things. As long as the intelligence collection is comprehensive enough, there will be no problems that cannot be clarified.

In the next two days, Pang Chong behaved normally, and even called the Secret Service, saying that none of Lu Yongyi's friends had heard of Su Zifu and Yang Changqing, and his tone seemed disappointed.

Zuo Chong made false claims with the other party, and waited patiently for Xiang Province's reply, until the third morning, a female spy from the Telecommunications Department with a big wave knocked on his office door twisting her waist.
