Chapter 803 Xu Enzeng took advantage of it
Shanghai, the International Concession, Holy Trinity Church.

"Go forward with your head held high, and the sound of the horn and the sound of the piano will play together.

Assemble in the Lord's sanctuary and adore him.

Hand in hand, sing praises to our Lord's glorious King. "

Psalms sounded in the tall and majestic chapel, and the singing was full of traces of years, which seemed to make people step into history in an instant.

Zuo Zhong sat on the chair in the last row, quietly watching the choir next to the lectern, with his hands clasped on the back of the chair in the front row, wondering what he was thinking.

"Could it be that Mr. Zuo also believes in religion?"

Suddenly, a tall and thin man in a robe came from outside the church, walked up to him, sat down and asked a question.

"I only believe in Sanminism."

"But the leader and his wife are also believers in (harmony)."

"So a leader is a leader."

Zuo Zhong replied with a pun, and then turned his head to look at the other party: "Boss Du invited me here today, not to discuss beliefs, please tell me directly if you have anything to say.

What can be done and what cannot be done, I will do it for you, as long as it complies with the law and does not violate the rules of the Secret Service. After all, you and my mentor are close friends and my elders. "

Boss Du, one of the three tycoons in Shanghai, smiled wryly. He was such a little fox. He told himself inside and out that today's conversation was between the elders and the younger generations, not between the Intelligence Department and the Cao Gang.

After thinking about it, he sincerely interceded for some people: "Du has seen the means of your place in the past few days. More than 30 famous tycoons were killed at home or in the downtown area.

Everyone in the Jianghu is in danger, and my brother in the gang asked me to bring a message to Director Zuo, I hope you can hold your hand high and stop killing, the Cao Gang will never betray the country and nation, I can guarantee this. "

"Oh? Boss Du."

Zuo Zhong showed a kind expression, pretending to be curious, and asked: "Can Zuo understand that if we don't stop and continue to eliminate traitors and scum, the Cao Gang will seek refuge with the Japanese?
If this is the case, please boss Du to tell them that before admitting a thief as their father, they should think about their children, wives, and parents at home. "

Boss Du's face gradually turned cold. He didn't expect that the other party would be so ruthless and threaten him directly with his family members, but then he thought again, isn't that the way the spies and the state government behave like this.

Chang Yuqing's wife and son who stayed in Shanghai were liquidated a few years ago, and no one is alive or dead until now.

If Jinling is offended, these officials can do anything, and they are worse than them.

Dai Chunfeng is no longer the little bastard who was in distress. When there is no conflict of interest, everyone may be able to get along peacefully.

On the contrary, it is hard to say whether the dignified director of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will recognize himself as the eldest brother. Hexi has been in Hexi for 30 years in 30 years, the old saying is true.

Thinking of this, Boss Du shook his head slowly, and gave his own answer: "Although all members of our Cao Gang are reckless, they also know that they will be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and will never seek refuge with the Japanese and become sinners of the nation.

You can kill traitors, but you can’t catch wind and shadows. In our line of work, you will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of religions and various forces. Even I often eat and drink with the Japanese.

Do you want me to clean up your place? Please ask Deputy Director Zuo to show me face and say hello to Du Mou before taking action. "

Zuo Zhong knew that the other party hadn't finished speaking, if he wasn't a person who deserved what he deserved, the Cao Gang might not provide help, but revenge.

"Mr. Du misunderstood. I don't know how other agencies handle things. My secret service has conclusive evidence for the arrest and execution of people. I won't wrong any good person."

He listened carefully to the chant, and said lightly: "We will never let a bad guy go, let me know before you take action, forgive me for not agreeing, the most important thing in intelligence operations is to keep it secret.

But after the action, we will provide corresponding evidence to Mr. Du, so as not to make it difficult for you. After all, you are all seniors, so I still have to give this bit of face. What do you think? "

The Cao Gang has great powers in Shanghai, and in the future it will be necessary to use the opponent in the enemy's rear. It is no good to make it too rigid now.

In short, Zuo Zhong gave the bottom line, and it depends on whether Boss Du accepts it. If he does not accept it, the Secret Service is not afraid of turning his face. He does not believe that all members of the Cao Gang are willing to sell their country for glory.

"So good."

As expected of being the best man among the three tycoons, Boss Du didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed to Zuo Zhong's conditions, and then changed the subject to another matter.

"Deputy Director Zuo, Ji Yunqing's cooperation with the Japanese is only verbal and has not reached the point of irreversibility, so I think there is still room for discussion, I don't know what you think.

Boss Zhang said that as long as you can release their husband and wife, he is willing to pay [-] U.S. dollars as a reward, if it is not enough, you can add more. This matter is regarded as a favor he owes you, and you will be sent by you in the future.

Besides, Ji Yunqing was nearly [-] years old, even if he was released, he would not live for a few years, he had to forgive others, why should Deputy Director Zuo have trouble with a dying person, this is Du's sincere words. "

"Fifty thousand dollars, what a lot of money."

Zuo Chong looked at the crucifix on the top of the church, and said leisurely: "Money is a good thing, but you have to spend your life if you have money, just like Judas betrayed his conscience for more than 30 silver coins, and his body was thrown to the sacrifices after death." the valley of Hinnom.

If I took the [-] dollars today, I'm afraid it will end in the same way. I will die without a whole body and be spurned by others. The younger generation is timid. I dare not take this kind of ill-gotten wealth. Boss Du please understand.

Ji Yunqing is not a verbal cooperation either. There are important criminals wanted by the government hiding in his home, and there are thousands of top-secret documents lost by the Shanghai Special Municipal Government in his study.

Can such a person be redeemed? I know that Boss Zhang regards him as a benefactor, but the kindness can be divided into big righteousness and small righteousness. I think Boss Zhang should understand which is more important.

At the same time, pardon Zuo's many words, it's time for them to cut off their robes and justice. Even if the news gets out, it won't hinder Boss Zhang's reputation in the Jianghu, after all, fifty thousand dollars has been paid. "

Zuo Zhong directly stated that if Boss Zhang wanted to gain a reputation for being loyal, it would be fine.

I can cooperate to spread today's conversation, and help him establish Yigai Yuntian's personality, anyway, a Gou spy doesn't need a good reputation.

I want to save people, but I can't.

Ji Yunqing's collusion with the Japanese is a certainty, at least he can't let them go without authorization. If Boss Zhang and Boss Du can really find a relationship with Tongtian, then it has nothing to do with him.

Boss Du on the opposite side was very satisfied with this answer, and that was enough. Ji Yunqing did support and save Boss Zhang's life decades ago.

But this is all a matter of Chen Zhima rotten millet, no matter how much kindness is left today, the most is to talk about it.

Boss Zhang is not a fool. It is unnecessary and unworthy to turn against the government for an old man. Loyalty is for others to listen to. The most important thing is money. This is the real world.

There were many thoughts in his mind, he was silent for a while, and then asked: "There is a little leader named Long Wu in the public concession, who disappeared on the day of the Ji Mansion fire, and the other party's subordinates came to ask me to help find someone.

Deputy Director Zuo knows where the person is. Whether it is life or death, just give Du an answer. I know that this person is very close to the Japanese. Even if he is sanctioned, he will seek his own death. "

That's right, there are things that you, a boss of the gang, can't get involved in, wouldn't it be good to make more money, why bother in this muddy water.

Zuo Zhong narrowed his eyes after thinking about it, and speaking of Long Wu, the Japanese targeted his own death trap, and this person was the key person in it, so naturally he would not let him live in this world.

When they went to Ji's Mansion, Wu Jingzhong led people to kill this guy. As for where the body is, it has probably drifted to the middle of the sea by now.

So he told Boss Du directly without hiding anything: "As for the person, I must not be able to find him. Please tell the boss to inform Long Wu's subordinates, and Long Wu's property will be given to them. The Secret Service doesn't like those things.

As long as they can remember that they are Chinese and don't work for tigers, we won't do anything to innocent people. I hope they can remember how their big boss didn't get it, and don't follow in the footsteps of Long Wu. "

"Thank you."

Boss Du thanked him. He knew the rules of the secret service. He didn't sue his parents, and he didn't sue his wife and children. The other party's words really gave him face.

After talking about the business, he looked at his watch and got up and said goodbye softly: "I won't bother Deputy Director Zuo's elegant mood, I will go to Du Mou's place for a while when I have time, and if you need Du Mou, please feel free to speak up.

No matter what others think of us, I always remember that I am a Chinese. The Japanese want us to be subjugated slaves. I am the first to say no. Brother Dai and Jinling please rest assured. "

"Boss Du is righteous!"

Zuo Zhong stood up and responded solemnly, because the other party not only said so, but also did so. This alone is better than some people in the government who eat the fat of the people but surrender to the enemy.

After the two handcuffed each other, Boss Du lifted the front of his robe, walked out with his head held high, and accompanied by a dozen armed bodyguards standing outside the door, got into the car and started to leave quickly.

It seems that the anti-rape operation of the Secret Service has scared many people, and even the other party has no idea. Today, it is not so much to convey the meaning of the Cao Gang, as to inquire about the news.

The older you are, the less courageous you are. Tycoons are also human, and they are also afraid of being blown up by dangerous objects suddenly while eating, and also afraid of being smashed into a sieve by a dozen submachine guns while walking on the road.

Zuo Zhong smiled faintly and sat down again. The sunlight shone into the church through the stained glass windows, and the light and shadow shone on his face, giving people a warm feeling.

Walking in the dark, it was rare to have such a chance to face the light. He just sat there with his eyes open until someone sat down beside him and said to him.

"Careful, what did Boss Du say?"

"As you expected."

"Hehe, these Jianghu people now."

"Teacher, are you not going to see him?"

Appearing beside Zuo Zhong was Dai Chunfeng, director of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. He was wearing a woolen top hat and sitting on the side near the wall, hiding in the shadows.

Hearing the question from his proud disciple, he chuckled lightly: "So what if I see you, so what if you don't see me, if my sworn brother intercedes for Ji Yunqing, will I agree or not.

So it’s better not to see, to avoid embarrassment, be careful, when you and I are in this position, most of the time, we can’t help ourselves. For the benefit of the country, we must give up certain things, understand. "

Zuo Zhong lowered his head respectfully, and replied: "Student understands, I just said as you ordered, Boss Du is a sensible person, and he didn't hold on to Ji Yunqing's affairs.

This means that we don't have to think too much about the Cao Gang's reaction in the next anti-rape operation. Those who have colluded with the Japanese that Chang Yuqing and Ji Yunqing confessed can be sanctioned. "

"Sanctions belong to sanctions. Don't make too much noise. Dangerous goods also need money to make. Arson and shooting can kill people."

Dai Chunfeng seemed to have become a rich man in Jin Province, and the beads on his abacus were crackling. It was obvious that the secret service's use of dangerous goods exceeded the budget.

As he spoke, he looked at Zuo Zhong, and asked with great concern: "How is your injury? I've said it many times. When performing missions, let your subordinates go, so don't take risks yourself.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You should know this truth. As the deputy director, your duty is to command, not to fight the enemy with guns and guns like operatives.

The leader heard that you were at the scene of the air raid, but he gave me a good training, and wanted to transfer you back to Jinling, but I stopped you anyway. You must not make the same mistake again in the future. "

"Yes."

Zuo Zhong nodded obediently. In fact, he understood what the other party said. The problem is that it is not a time of peace. If you are in danger, you will not be able to be an officer. How can you convince the subordinates.

It's okay now, when the Guojun loses again and again, and retreats again and again, the official position and rank alone will affect the staff of the headquarters at most, and the local stations and front-line personnel will not care who you are.

For example, Zheng Tingbing, who took over as the director after Lao Dai hit the mountain in history, was embarrassed by Li Qiwu's methods because of the lack of grassroots support, and was completely evaded by the other party.

If you want to gain an advantage in future struggles, you must have credit that can be said, and you must have your own personality charm, so that you can completely stand firm in the tide.

But thinking about it, facing Lao Dai's concern, he still expressed his gratitude: "Thank you teacher for your concern, the student's health is no longer serious, thank you for sending Dr. Ling here, otherwise the student would not recover so quickly.

By the way, besides dealing with Ji Yunqing's matter, do you have other tasks to arrange when you come to Shanghai? The operations personnel of the Secret Service in Shanghai have finished their rest and can be dispatched at any time. Please rest assured. "

At this time, the choir just finished singing, walking towards the seats in twos and threes, Dai Chunfeng patted Zuo Zhong on the shoulder, and the two walked slowly to the lawn of the church, chatting in a low voice.

"You captured Chang Yuqing this time, cleaned up the traitors who were conducting espionage activities in the Chinese world, and also eliminated the hidden dangers of the Ninth Group Army Command. The leader gave a high evaluation."

With his hands behind his back, Dai Chunfeng first praised the work of the Secret Service. This was purely an official article. Zuo Zhong understood that the next words were the key point. Sure enough, Old Dai said again in a deep voice.

"The war in Shanghai is not going well. The high-level officials wanted to take advantage of the Japanese's unstable foothold to take Hongkou down. Judging from the current situation, it is impossible, so some things have to be put on the agenda.

In order to strengthen the intelligence work on Japan, the leader intentionally split the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics into two parts, one part was changed to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Central Executive Committee, and the headquarters and the second part of the Bureau remained the same.

The specific split will have to wait until next year, at least until the end of the battle in Shanghai, but things are basically settled and there will be no major changes.

The next one will be called Zhongtong, and it will still be in charge of party affairs and intelligence work and dealing with the underground party. The incident in Chang'an has proved that dissidents and internal problems are our serious worries.

Over there, Xu Enzeng was the first director of the bureau. This time he volunteered to wipe out the underground party dens. Although he didn't succeed, he was courageous. "

Speaking of this, Dai Chunfeng smiled and glanced at Zuo Chong. His disciple probably never thought that he would help the secret agent headquarters as a substitute for a dead ghost.

Without this "attack on the underground party stronghold", it is hard to say whether Xu Enzeng would have become the director of the bureau. Who made the other party fail again and again over the years.

The leader assigned him to that position, first because of the Chen family's affection, and second because he felt that there was no credit or hard work in dealing with the underground party in one place, and it was "passed" in employing people.

Zuo Zhong really didn't expect that, and he couldn't laugh or cry at the same time. If he knew this, he would rather attack the department store by himself than let Xu Enzeng take advantage of it.

This dog was so ostentatious when he was the chief of the department. He didn't know how high he would raise his tail when he became the chief of the department.

It was rare to see him deflated, Dai Chunfeng laughed, and continued to introduce the high-level deployment.

"The new Bureau of Investigation and Statistics is headed by me. For the sake of work continuity, the post of deputy director is held by several deputy directors of the Secret Service, namely you, Zheng Tingbing, and Zhang Yifu.

There are secretarial office, inspection office, accounting office, technical office, intelligence department [-], intelligence department [-], operation department and telecommunications department. These four departments are in charge of specific business.

The few of you share a share, and together assist me in military intelligence and work on Japan, especially the latter is related to the fate of the country, and the burden on you is not light.

At the end of the day, I hope that you will approach your new position with an attitude of walking on eggshells. When you get to that position, everyone will be observing and studying you, and you can’t make a single mistake. "

Hearing Lao Dai's beating and reminding, Zuo Zhong thought about why Lao Dai's position is the bureau chief, shouldn't he be the deputy bureau chief? He thought for a while and quickly realized.

Since the other party was promoted to Major General of the Civil Service a few years ago and took up the post of director of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics that has not been separated, many things have changed.

Relying on the series of espionage cases he solved, Lao Dai gained more attention from someone, and it was normal for him to be promoted.

Moreover, Xu Enzeng has become the chief of the bureau, and it is obviously inappropriate to let Dai Chunfeng be the deputy chief of the bureau. In this way, Teacher Laiyi is also in his own glory.

But why did he become the deputy chief? Zuo Zhong, the head of the special agent~ Now there is no need to go to the Gongdelin, and he will be shot on the spot.

Zuo Zhong groaned secretly in his heart, and flattered him naturally.

"The student's qualifications are still relatively low, and being able to take up this position must depend on the recommendation of the teacher. I will definitely be loyal to the party and the country and strive to make new contributions."

"It's good to have this understanding."

Dai Chunfeng was very satisfied. There were indeed some people who had different opinions on this matter. They believed that Zuo Zhong was too young and had only joined the Secret Service for four or five years.

Regarding this, he only selectively mentioned a few tasks that Zuo Zhong had performed, and the opponents stopped talking. If the children of the four families made such achievements, I am afraid that the director could be in charge.

After dialing Zuo Zhong, Dai Chunfeng walked to a stone bench and sat down, explaining the specific personnel arrangements one by one.

"I'm going to hand over the secretary's office to Zhang Yifu, the inspector's office to Li Qiwu, and the accounting office to Zheng Tingbing, an old man from the Secret Service.

The newly established director of the technical department is your old friend, Yu Xingle. As for his original position as the head of the East China District, I have other arrangements, and I will discuss this matter later.

The first intelligence department and the second intelligence department are under your guidance. One of them is in charge of intelligence, and the second is in charge of counter-espionage. You are good at both. Don't let me down.

The operation department is in charge of me personally, the telecommunications department merged with Lishan Company, and Wei Daming was appointed as the director. The situation is roughly like this.

We can concentrate on dealing with the Japanese in the future, and the division of responsibilities will be clearer and clearer, reducing mutual blame and competition for credit. "

Zuo Zhongting understood that the new Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was just a large secret service, with some staff from the original Bureau Headquarters added.

Presumably this is someone's strategy, the division of labor is just an excuse, and taking advantage of the opportunity to cut power is the purpose. The Secret Service Headquarters is underestimated by the Secret Service, and it has a tendency to gradually become a vassal.

A country cannot have only one intelligence agency, as that would be dangerous to the superiors, so someone simply splits one and two agencies and becomes independent from the administrative relationship.

This is all right, without the Secret Service Headquarters holding back, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics can let go of its hands and feet to do a big job. That's why Lao Dai, who has been decentralized, is so happy.

"Let's talk about Yu Xingle."

Zuo Zhong was thinking about it, and Dai Chunfeng talked about the East China Region: "Because of the particularity of Shanghai, when the Secret Service was first established, I arranged for the East China Region to be managed together with the headquarters.

The East China District is in charge of such a large area, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions in the work in Shanghai, which cannot meet the requirements of the war. Therefore, I decided to establish the Shanghai District, and hit the power to do a good job in local intelligence work.

After Yu Xingle went to Jinling, the East China District was handed over to the former deputy district chief. The personnel stationed in Shanghai plus elites transferred from other districts joined the Shanghai District. Chen Gongshu went from Beiping to Shanghai to take charge of the overall situation.

In my plan, there are 22 liaison groups, 4 telecommunications stations, 1 accounting office, 5 intelligence groups, and 8 action brigades in Shanghai. There are a total of 50 units and 1000 staff members.

In terms of intelligence manpower, you must hurry up and dispatch them. You must assemble the personnel before November. If there is a mistake in Shanghai, they will immediately enter a latent state and wait to be awakened. "

More than 1000 people!

Zuo Zhong was dumbfounded. How many people are there in the Secret Service? 1000 people means that most of the field elites have been sent to Shanghai. Good guy, brother Gong Shu has really become a big official in Xinjiang this time.

That's right, it's not a good job to lurk in Shanghai, and you may die at any time. If you don't have enough strength, it will be difficult to open the situation. Realizing this, he nodded quickly.

"Understood, I'll arrange it."
