Chapter 779 Decisive Victory (2)
"Have you heard, leader..."

"I heard, you said how dangerous Shanghai is, why did the leader go to the front line, those Qiu Ba are expensive, and in the previous dynasty it was nothing more than giving five taels more money."

"That's right, that's right, oh, Mr. Huo, you also come to the toilet yourself."

In the toilet of the Cipher Deciphering Office, two old fried dough sticks pulled the zipper and walked out, discussing something in their mouths in a low voice. One of them looked up and saw Huo Xingyao, a member of the research team.

The other party was Er Chen's man, who had always been aloof in the agency and could never be offended, so the two immediately put on smiling faces, bowed their heads and greeted this man.

It's a pity that Huo Xingyao acted as if he didn't see them. He walked over quickly with his head held high and his chest held high, without even moving his eyelids.

"MD, what, isn't it just a good master, if my old chief hadn't died in the southwest, it would be his turn to whine"

"Hush, keep quiet, you're crazy, that's from the Chen family, if you say a word, we'll be in bad luck, let's go, let's go, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Seeing that Huo Xingyao disappeared, the old fritters who had greeted him earlier cursed immediately, as if no one was convinced, this startled his companion, and quickly covered his mouth.

"Bah, bah, bah, the smell on your hands is not right, mother, it can't be that you didn't wash your hands when you went to the bathroom just now, right? You have to go to the crane tower for this matter, eh? Don't run away."

When the person whose mouth was muzzled realized that it was too late for him to drink Huanglong soup, he quickly spit out a few mouthfuls, chased after him angrily, and blatantly blackmailed him.

After a while.

Huo Xingyao, who had a cold face just now, quietly put his head out of the toilet door, looked around carefully, and ran back to the research group after making sure that no one was there, looking very excited.

As soon as he entered the office, he closed the door with his backhand, and then mysteriously told the gossip he heard, especially the conversation between the two old fritters.

Everyone laughed out loud. When it comes to seeing other people's jokes, no matter who they are or what their status is, they are all the same, even if they are a group of nerds who are obsessed with words and rules.

The room was immediately filled with joy. Everyone present put down their work for a while and discussed the matter of someone going to Shanghai. Everyone had a different opinion.

Huo Xingyao feels that the country is in critical condition now, and as a leader, it is his duty to boost morale, and to smear the soldiers who have lost their lives into Qiu Ba is something that only the remnants of the previous dynasty can do.

Zhao Kehua, an old Jianghu who had been in the mall, chattered haha, saying one leader's opinion but not expressing his attitude, obviously afraid of talking too much and causing trouble.

The mature and prudent Feng Jianfei is indeed the backbone of the inspection and translation office. The first thing that comes to mind when he hears this is whether someone is in danger. After all, the Japanese are also deciphering the secret messages of the government.

Yu Jingzhi and Zhang Yun's reaction was much simpler. They immediately wanted to report the nonsense of those two old fritters, but they were finally stopped by Feng Jianfei on the grounds that it would affect unity.

an office,

All kinds of love in the world.

On the surface, they were the supervisors, but in fact the Li brothers who came to monitor them flickered their eyes, and quickly recorded everyone's reactions, preparing to report to the left deputy director of the Secret Service after get off work.

At the same time, Zuo Zhong was sitting in a corner of the monitoring point, listening carefully with his earphones in one hand, and taking notes quickly with a pen in the other, and the rustling sound of writing kept ringing out.

The conversations in the research group, which came in a steady stream through bugs hidden inside lamps and telephones, sounded so clearly that they were eventually recorded on several steel wire tapes.

From last night to morning, there were enough Secret Service technicians to install the monitoring equipment, and this place also has the conditions for wiretapping, and 24-hour uninterrupted power supply is not available anywhere.

In addition, the electromagnetic signals formed by many communication devices can also cover the electronic interference caused by wiretapping, which is difficult to find unless a thorough anti-wiretapping inspection is carried out.

For the sake of confidentiality and the sensitivity of the Interpretation Office, only a few people in the entire Secret Service knew about this matter. Li Si and Li Shu had no idea that what they said had been recorded.

The long-term intelligence work has made Zuo Zhong unable to trust anyone. Even though the Li brothers have passed the review and their backgrounds are considered reliable, there are still certain risks.

Be human, do things,
Better to keep it on hand.

This listening lasted a whole day, during which Gu Qi and Shen Dongxin came to change shifts, when it was getting dark, Zuo Zhong put down his pen and rubbed his neck and wrists, got up and stretched.

"Deputy Director, the tapes are finished. I'll have someone compare the transcripts right away. However, after putting so much effort into monitoring the research team, do you think Chen Shi is not the spy?"

Seeing this, Gu Qi walked over and asked in a low voice, avoiding the little spy. He is also an old intelligence agent with rich work experience, and he still has this basic judgment ability.

"Don't jump to conclusions yet,"

Zuo Zhong didn't answer directly, but raised his hand and patted the thick transcript on the table: "Following these people, including the Li brothers, I want to know their every move from now on.

For other things, I will naturally tell you when the right time comes, okay, you guys are busy first, I'm going out alone, I'm really tired after sitting here for a whole day. "

After finishing speaking, he pushed his bicycle and left the monitoring point through the back door, walked through several alleys and entered Zhongshan Road, and stopped on the only way from the inspection and translation office to the dormitory area.

"Soup dumplings~"

"Shao Mai~"

"Small pieces of cloth for sale~"

Looking at the streets full of fireworks, Zuo Zhong slowly relaxed, and the original fierce aura disappeared, and he walked in the market with a smile while listening to the cries of hawkers.

When he came to a wonton stand, he suddenly froze for a moment, and then fell into memories. Before the Jiujiaxu operation, he and Ban Jun seemed to have their last meal here.

I don't know how Lao Ban is doing now, whether he is safe or not. Since Jinling left, I have never heard from him. In some respects, this is good news.

A person like Ban Jun who has been lurking in the national government and has committed a major robbery case, once arrested, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will definitely get wind of it. As the deputy director, it is impossible for him not to know.

I hope this old classmate who has defected to the light and faith can be safe and sound. With complicated emotions, Zuo Zhong ordered a bowl of wontons, watching the crowds coming and going while eating.

A well-dressed clerk in a foreign company wearing a pair of old leather shoes.

A housewife with a sad face and a bamboo basket.

Children carrying small schoolbags playing and playing in the crowd.

There are also middle-aged men bent over to pull a cart of goods.

Everything seemed to be normal, but he knew that there must be someone he wanted to find, so he raised his head and drank the soup in one gulp. He put the meal money on the bottom of the bowl and looked at his watch.

It's almost time. If there is no mistake in the tracking record, Chen Shi should pass by here and go back to the dormitory. After packing up, he will ride to the stadium to play badminton.

Sure enough, after a while, a familiar figure appeared not far away, Zuo Zhong immediately stood up and stepped on the bike, and followed Chen Shi far away towards the dormitory area of ​​the Interpretation Institute.

Several small spies who were in charge of tracking didn't care when they saw him appear, because they were used to the deputy director being on the front line in person, and they continued to carry out the mission according to the plan when they were calm.

Everyone is an expert in action, so there is no need to be reminded what to do. Several people cooperate with each other to observe the target from various angles to ensure that the other party will not leave the sight.

When passing the intersection, the spies turned one by one and left, and then others relayed the relay, except for Zuo Zhong, who kept a distance of more than 100 meters and watched carefully ahead.

At this time, there were many people and vehicles near the road, and he was inconspicuous among them, and the target did not make any anti-tracking actions, so there was no risk of exposure for the time being.

After riding through several intersections in a row, Chen Shi was getting closer to the dormitory of the Interpretation Office. The followers thought they had done another futile effort, and naturally relaxed their vigilance.

But Zuo Zhong didn't. In addition to watching the target's movements, he also used his peripheral vision to quickly scan the passers-by, especially those who had the opportunity to come into close contact with the target.

Because the early warning signal is easy to send out, Chen Shi can receive information from an agreed dress, a special gesture, or even a contact person who should not appear.

After looking around, he can be sure that these people are ordinary people, the expressions and movements on their faces are smooth and natural, they are all concentrating on walking, and their eyes are not focused on one point.

"Jingle bell~"

When we came to the entrance of a junior primary school, a large group of chattering children and parents poured out from the street, instantly blocking the spacious Zhongshan Road.

Perhaps someone was blocking the way, Chen Shi showed impatience, stretched out his thumb and rang the bell vigorously, and a crisp bell rang, causing commotion among pedestrians.

The stalking spies were blocked by the crowd, unable to approach the target, and unable to look out, so they could only squeeze forward patiently and calmly, hoping to recover their vision as soon as possible.

Zuo Zhong was startled, although the other party had also rang the car bell before, but his professional instinct told him that the clue he wanted had finally appeared, and it was only because the place was too suitable for a connection.

There are too many people, the environment is complex, and it is easy to hide people. It is not far from the dormitory of the inspection and translation office, so it is convenient for Chen Shi to react as quickly as possible after getting the news, such as retreating.

He stood on one foot and silently looked at the suspicious people around the target, but found nothing, so he turned his attention to the shops and stalls on both sides of the road.

A crowded optical shop,

A bookstore full of books,
A silk and satin shop occupying several shops,

A few small stalls selling melon seeds and roasted seeds and nuts,

Etc., etc……

Zuo Zhong compared the details of the shops in front of him with what he observed in the morning, and keenly noticed that there seemed to be something different. After thinking for a long time, he looked at a place.

Chengji Silk, Satin and Woolen Foreign Products Store, on the plaque made of a whole piece of small-leaf red sandalwood, a few golden characters glisten in the sunset, looking very magnificent.

The clerk in front of the door greeted customers with a smile on his face, and a bright red guise of fine-count cotton cloth fluttering above his head in the wind, and rich customers in gold and silver kept entering the store.

What attracted Zuo Zhong's attention was the cover used to attract customers. He clearly remembered that in the morning, it said that the Italian fabrics had arrived, so it was changed twice in a day?

can be can,
It's just too coincidental.

Zuo Chong squinted his eyes and watched a man in a long robe and mandarin jacket warmly greet the guests, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he kicked his right foot on the bike and drove away quickly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go in and have a look, but that his attire and disguise were not suitable. If he wanted to get close to the investigation, he had to wait until he went back to change his clothes, otherwise it would easily arouse the other party's suspicion.

He will come again soon, and then he will know whether Chen Shi is one of his own. If it is true, maybe he will play a big show for someone and Mr. Cheap.

At the same time when Zuo Zhong followed Chen Shi, a radio station in Jinling City began to send messages to the outside world, and the telecommunications room of the Japanese Third Fleet station far away in Shanghai was also extremely busy.

Ten minutes later, a navy major officer translated a secret message into Japanese. The content of the message was a string of time and location, signed with only three words - Angler fish.
