Chapter 829 Investigating Gu Zhongya

Zuo Zhong's phone call was very timely. At the last moment when Dai Chunfeng was about to report to the bald head, he called into Banshanlu and informed him of the relevant situation.

Old Dai, who knew the power of Mrs. Bald, silently hung up the phone after hearing this, without daring to say a word, and pinned the blame on Xu Enzeng.

Director Xu Da, who was sitting at home and the pot came from the sky, didn't know what happened, so he was called by Minister Song to scold him.

After the big injustice came out of the Song family, the operatives from the Secret Service Headquarters who stayed in Jiang City (a word may not be used) mobilized and searched for the culprit in the city like crazy.

Zuo Zhong smiled slightly when he got the news, he might as well find something for that guy, so as not to save the people in one place from staring at the underground party all day long.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Although he often despises the Secret Service Headquarters, he has never really despised the other party. In the intelligence industry, carelessness often means death.

While watching Xu Enzeng's jokes, Zuo Zhong put most of his energy into the investigation of Gu Zhongya, and squatted in the office with Wu Chunyang and others to check thick materials.

Through the archives and records of Hunan Provincial Police Station, Huangpu Military Academy, Military Commission, and Jiangcheng Air Defense Command, the fog that shrouded Gu Zhongya gradually dissipated.

"Deputy director, the target's domestic whereabouts and relationship network are very clear, and there is nothing suspicious. I think he was probably instigated by the Japanese when he was studying in Switzerland."

Wu Chunyang shook the document on his hands, and said seriously: "This is the document from the Swiss Consulate, and it says that when Gu Zhongya was in Bern, the capital of Switzerland, his residence was very close to the Japanese embassy.

That is to say, he had the opportunity to come into contact with the Japanese. At the same time, he spent a period of time extravagantly, often visiting local high-end restaurants and clothing stores, and then suddenly returned to normal. "

"Oh? Let me see."

Zuo Zhong, who had been casually lying on the chair, sat up straight all of a sudden, reached out to fetch the document, and quickly read it at a glance.

According to the documents, in the second half of the 16th year of the Republic of China, the staff of the consulate saw Gu Zhongya go to restaurants many times, and the consumption of each meal was equivalent to more than 20 oceans.

His high consumption behavior lasted for 2 to 3 months, and then stopped inexplicably. During this period, he spent hundreds of dollars in total. Can a student who has graduated a few years ago afford this money?

The Gu family is indeed not poor, but it is a big family with many members. If everyone spends so much money, even if there is a house in the Gu family, it won't be enough.

From this point of view, Gu Zhongya is indeed a little suspicious. Economic problems are often the prelude to rebellion. After all, if it is not for profit, fools will become traitors and running dogs.

Zuo Zhong dropped the document, put his fingers on the table and tapped lightly, and began to recall in his mind the Secret Service's investigation of the activities of Japan's overseas intelligence agencies.

Devils have always attached great importance to intelligence work, not only for the national government, but also arranged a lot of manpower in the Omi country, and placed them in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs system.

Especially in Germany, France, Switzerland and other veteran military, economic, and industrial powers, all consulates have secret departments that specialize in intelligence theft and instigating rebellion.

In fact, this is almost an open secret. Many countries have done this, and Zuo Zhong has also placed many people in the country's diplomatic system in order to keep abreast of the latest developments in the West.

Therefore, Wu Chunyang's speculation is reasonable and is in line with the existing information. The remaining work is to continue to consult Gu Zhongya's information and find ways to confirm this speculation.

"So, Chunyang, you immediately send a telegram to our people in the Swiss consulate, asking them to secretly conduct a detailed investigation of Gu Zhongya's residence in Bern and where he haunts.

The key point is to check whether he has had any contact with Japanese or unidentified people. People of yellow race are very prominent in Switzerland. If the facts are as you guessed, you will definitely find out. "

Zuo Zhong finally made a decision, thought for a while and added: "Let them keep a low profile, Switzerland, as a permanent neutral country, rarely engages in foreign intelligence activities, at most it collects some defensive early warning intelligence.

However, the Swiss police's anti-espionage agency is not weak. Bern is known as the European intelligence center. The other party can control the situation and prevent the gang of daring agents from acting recklessly. There must be two brushes.

And I heard that the Swiss government intends to form a federal military intelligence agency to be responsible for secretly monitoring foreigners in the country, telling everyone not to take it lightly, this is for you, go quickly. "

As he spoke, he took out a small red book from his pocket, which recorded the frequency and secret code of the Swiss Consulate. Only Dai Chunfeng and him in the entire Secret Service knew.

According to the discipline, Zuo Zhong should not give such important things to other people, but Wu Chunyang was the first subordinate to follow him, and he has the ability, some work will have to be handed over to the other party sooner or later.

"Yes, I understand."

Wu Chunyang took the notebook and nodded. As long as it has something to do with international observation in the government, it must not be touched. If something goes wrong, it will really lose its head.

The top leaders have always expected to rely on other countries and public opinion to drive away the devils and achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting. I have to say that I really want to be blind.

As a professional intelligence officer, no one understands the rules of the world better than them.

But these things are beyond his control as a small section chief. After returning the order, he immediately ran to the telecommunications room and sent a report to the Swiss consulate thousands of miles away.

Facing Smiley Tiger's order, the members of the Swiss Secret Service did not dare to be perfunctory. On the day they received the telegram, they used their local connections to investigate the details of Gu Zhongya's situation in Europe.

In order to deceive others, they even hired a reporter who had finally instigated rebellion to interview Gu Zhongya's landlord and former classmates one by one under the pretext of investigating foreigners' economic contributions to Switzerland.

Since there are not many people of yellow race in Switzerland, even after ten years have passed, these people are still impressed with the goal, and under the guidance and inspiration of professional speaking skills, they provided a lot of useful situations.

Immediately, the news was summarized and sent to Changcheng. The spies in No. 33 Pingyue Road worked continuously for several days and nights, analyzing the hard-won information word by word, even sleeping in the office.

There is no way, a person's one-year time and space trajectory, the background of the people who come and go, and the number of speeches are astonishing in written materials. After sending and receiving messages for a long time, one of the radio stations of the Secret Service broke down.

——In order to get the relevant information as quickly as possible, Zuo Zhong didn't even use airmail, and used text communication very luxuriously, which was the first online office in this world.

While screening the data, the Swiss side is still sending back new intelligence. The target is studying air defense command and has communicated with too many people. The investigation work will not be over for a while.

In the heavily guarded conference room.

Zuo Zhong stood in front of a blackboard and looked at Gu Qi. Song Minghao, Wu Jingzhong, Wu Chunyang, and Shen Dongxin led dozens of people to work hard, looking for clues about Gu Zhongya's espionage from the pile of words.

Under the dim lamps, the people who had stayed up for several nights were exhausted, but their eyes were wide open. No one dared to be careless in the situation where important clues could be missed by a word difference.

Time passed little by little, and from time to time someone got up and wrote on the blackboard what they thought was a problem, and at this time half of the blackboard had been filled.

Wild geese leave their voices, and people leave their names. As long as anyone has contact with the outside world, they will definitely leave traces, not to mention the yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese who stand out among a group of white people.

At this time, Wu Jingzhong went to the blackboard and picked up a chalk to write down a clue. Zuo Zhong walked over slowly and looked with his chin in one hand.

"On a certain night in March 1928, Gu Zhongya was dining at the Golden Key restaurant with the longest history in Bern, accompanied by an Asian man in a suit.

The two sat in the southwest corner of the restaurant facing the entrance, ordered a bottle of Italian aperitif, several expensive dishes, and a glass of French champagne.

During the meal, Gu Zhongya's companion asked the waiter not to approach and gave 10 Swiss francs as a tip. After the meal, both parties left the restaurant separately. "

Below these few words, Wu Jingzhong also attached the detailed menu of the day, which should be the records from the back kitchen of the restaurant. One of the fish salad caught Zuo Zhong's attention.

Switzerland is located in Central Europe and is bordered by Italy, France and Germany. It is a multilingual country with three language areas: German, French and Italian.

Bern is a French-German bilingual area. Interestingly, Swiss nationals who speak these two languages ​​seldom eat fish, or do not eat raw fish.

They eat a thick red sausage containing fish that is thoroughly steamed before eating, a tradition left over from the days of cholera in Europe.

On the contrary, the residents of the Italian-speaking area have inherited the taste of their hometown. They especially like to cook and use various fish and meat dishes, but they rarely eat them raw.

In addition, Switzerland is inland, and seafood transportation is very difficult. Fish is expensive and not fresh. Few people order fish salad.

Gu Zhongya is a standard Hunanese, and there should be no raw fish in his daily diet, so it is very strange that this dish appears on the menu.

Unless it was specially prepared for that mysterious traveler, as we all know, Japanese people like to eat sashimi...

Perhaps Wu Jingzhong felt suspicious just thinking of this point. As expected, he came from the underground party and was able to get along well.

"Come on."

After thinking for a while, Zuo Zhong called a small agent: "The person who ordered the Swiss side to focus on the investigation and the target to go to the restaurant can look for the photos of the Japanese consulate personnel at that time for witnesses to identify.

In addition, I searched for all the restaurants in Bern that serve raw fish and meat, and told them not to be afraid of spending money. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems, and let them hurry up to do this. "

Money can make troubles, and the Swiss are no exception. He doesn't believe that a bunch of restaurant owners will have trouble with money.

As long as it is confirmed that the person contacting Gu Zhongya is Japanese, with this reason, they can apply to the higher authorities to investigate the other party, and the situation will be opened, Zuo Zhong looked at the blackboard and thought silently.
