cicada

late at night.

Zhangjiawan Town, Wuchang, where the Zhenchang Oil Factory is located, is peaceful. The moonlight falls on the uneven stone road, reflecting some dark and unclear reflections, illuminating the narrow alleys.

Suddenly there was a faint sound of dog barking in the distance, and then the sound was getting closer and closer. A few minutes later, a shaky black shadow appeared in the alley, leaning on the wall and stumbling towards the oil shop.

Through the dim light, one can see that the black shadow is holding a glass bottle in his hand, and from time to time he raises his head and puts the mouth of the bottle into his mouth. A strong smell of alcohol slowly diffuses in the air.

Obviously this is an alcoholic who drank until he forgot the time. When he walked near the oil mill, the other party shook the empty wine bottle and threw the bottle on the roof as soon as he raised his hand.

"Wow~"

"Ouch!"

Immediately there was the sound of cracking tiles and a scream, and the light in the grain store next to the oil mill was turned on instantly. After a long time, a young man took off the door panel, covered his head and stretched out his head to look out.

It's a pity that there is nothing in the deserted alley except the residual smell of alcohol. The young man cursed a few words, retracted into the shop and installed the door panel, looking at the hole above his head, he wanted to cry without tears.

In April, the temperature in Jiangcheng is still very low, and a gust of cold wind blows into the room along the entrance of the cave. The little guy soon shivered from the cold, so he had to put the bedding on his body and wait for the dawn.

Early the next morning.

The door of the Zhenchang store opened, and a man in his 30s came out. It was Guo Jinyao who had contact with the Red Russian chef Gnady.

As soon as he went out, he saw the shopkeeper of the grain store standing under the eaves, holding a ladder and looking up at the roof, his face was full of anger and helplessness.

"Brother, what's going on? I heard noises in your store last night. I thought it was a thief. I wanted to come out to have a look, but there was no sound after a while, so I didn't take it seriously."

Guo Jinyao came to the shopkeeper of the grain store, folded his hands and said hello, then asked with a puzzled face, looking at the craftsmen who were busy on the ladder.

The shopkeeper of the grain store hurriedly saluted, and replied angrily: "Boss Guo, you don't know, you don't know which embryo, smashed a hole in the roof with a wine bottle, and almost knocked the guy unconscious.

Fortunately, it didn't rain last night, otherwise all the food in my store would be gone. No, I found a bricklayer back early in the morning, and repaired the roof before the guests came. "

As he said that, he yelled at the craftsman: "You have to repair it carefully, so that there is no leakage of water. If the water leaks and damages the goods in my shop, I will make trouble for you."

"Don't worry, I won't take any money for water leakage."

The young craftsman was not annoyed, he lowered his head and assured the shopkeeper of the grain store below in authentic Jiangcheng dialect, looking confident in his craftsmanship.

"Hmph, speaking is better than singing."

The shopkeeper of the grain shop muttered, then turned around and continued to talk to the man: "Shopkeeper Guo, please tell the police station later that we give so many benefits every month, they must do something serious.

If it's like last night, what's the difference between paying the money and not paying it? "

"Haha, calm down, calm down."

Guo Jinyao persuaded him with a smile, walked aside with the other party and murmured for a while, maybe he got a benefit, and finally the manager of the grain store returned to the ladder contentedly.

At this time, the craftsman changed the tiles and asked the grain store clerk to bring a kettle full of water, and poured the water on the roof. Indeed, there was not a drop of water in the house.

The owner of the grain store observed for a long time, and took out the banknotes to settle the bill in satisfaction. Regardless of his harsh words, the wages that should be given are quite a bit.

The craftsman took the money and checked it carefully. After confirming the amount, he put the banknotes in his pocket, packed up his tools, turned around and wanted to leave, not wanting to be stopped.

"The master's workmanship is good, can you leave an address, if I need repairs in my shop in the future, it will be easy to find you, you don't need to be familiar with it."

Guo Jinyao said with a smile, his eyes fixed on the expression of the craftsman.

The craftsman listened to the music, and it was a good thing to have business coming to the door. He reported his address without hesitation, thanked him repeatedly, and left the alley with his tool bag on his back and walked into the crowd.

He drilled through the winding streets of Zhangjiawan Town, and finally came to a forest, and saluted Zuo Zhong and Gu Qi who had been waiting for a long time.

"Deputy Director, Section Chief, there is indeed a problem with the Zhenchang. The roof tiles show signs of being turned, which should be caused by the release of the radio antenna, and before leaving, the target asked me for his address."

After hearing this, Gu Qi sneered: "This is to probe your background, coupled with the professional anti-tracking operation and the suspected radio station in the store, I don't even believe that Guo Jinyao is not a professional intelligence officer.

This guy is either the eyeliner of Red Russia NK~VD, or the hidden personnel of the underground~underground party. I didn't expect Wu Xiaoyi to be fooled.

Deputy Director, how do you deal with it? Do you want to arrest it directly? Anyway, the target is not a citizen of Red Russia, nor a member of the China Aid Air Force. There is no reason for the Red Russians to protest to the government. "

Zuo Zhong signaled the little spy who was going to investigate to leave, and then shook his head: "Old Gu, please be safe, if Guo Jinyao is from NK~VD, if we do this, it will be tantamount to tearing the face.

You don't understand the thinking of the Red Russian people, even if the target is not an important person, but in their eyes, arresting the target is a demonstration to the Red Russian, and it will affect the whole body, so don't act rashly. "

After experiencing the brutal Great Patriotic War and the financial (separation) crisis that swept the world, in just a dozen years, Red Russia has become the number one industrial power in Europe from the weak "empire-ism's weakest link" in the White Russia period.

According to intelligence and statistics from the Secret Service, Red Russia's industrial output value accounts for 17.6 percent of the world's industrial production, and its industrial indicators are among the best in the world. Its power generation capacity exceeds 400 billion kWh, its steel output exceeds 1.5 million tons, and its coal output exceeds [-] million tons.

The number of troops is nearly 500 million, with 2 combat aircraft, tens of thousands of artillery pieces, 2.4 tanks, and 27 cars. It also has a large number of reserves and sufficient reserve soldiers. It is the country with the largest number of troops in the world today.

In terms of the navy, although it cannot be compared with traditional naval powers such as the United States, Britain, Japan and Germany, there are more than 400 surface ships and submarines, 2000 aircraft, and the number of officers and soldiers is as high as 100 million. The overall strength of the navy ranks sixth in the world.

In official terms, this huge increase in strength has given the Red Russian government and citizens a great sense of national pride and national honor, and they have shed their past weak image in one fell swoop.

To put it bluntly, it is overbearing. Red Russia's foreign policy, especially its treatment of countries weaker than itself, has always been very tough. This is the inevitable result of the rapid rise of national power.

In short, it is easy to catch people, but I am afraid that the Red Russians will cut off the aid in a jerk. This is something the polar bear can do. After all, in the eyes of the other party, the reason why the government still exists depends on their help.

You are a country that relies on others to support even the air defense of the temporary capital (separation), what qualifications do you have to attack the Red Russia? Thinking about the temper of the bearded man, Zuo Zhong has a headache.

"Deputy Director."

When he was in a dilemma, Gui Youguang sneaked over and reported a new situation: "The person who paid Wu Xiaoyi to publish an article appeared many times at Sanzhen Wharf some time ago.

More than one person saw the other party traveling between Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang by boat. Now it can be confirmed that this person is a male, about 1 meters tall, with a local accent and ordinary clothes.

I have invited all witnesses to the office, and I am going to trace the target's trajectory as quickly as possible and find the starting point, but the search may require the assistance of the military police. "

So easy to find the target?

Zuo Zhong was a little surprised, and asked a question: "The other party's appearance is ordinary, how did the witnesses remember it, there is light, people's memory is biased, and the testimony of the witnesses cannot be completely believed."

Ling Sanping, who has not been on the scene for a long time, once conducted an experiment. He let two groups of people watch the same video, the content was a couple's daily communication, and then ordered the testers to recall the content in the video.

One group of testers was told that the heroine was a waiter in a restaurant, while the other group was told that she was an official's wife. After a period of time, they were asked to describe the heroine's appearance and temperament.

As a result, the two groups of testers came to completely different conclusions. One group who was told that she was a restaurant waiter recalled that the hostess had an ordinary appearance and simple clothes, while the other group said that the other party was elegant and luxurious.

From the same segment of video, two very different descriptions are obtained, which can prove that people will unconsciously "brain supplement" according to their own judgment in order to make things reasonable.

This strange phenomenon was summarized by Ling Sanping as the memory bias effect, which specifically refers to the fact that certain things in memory are induced by thinking, thus sending wrong information to the brain.

Similar situations are nothing in daily life, but they are fatal in intelligence activities. False clues will greatly waste precious detection time, and even cause casualties.

Of course Gui Youguang knew this truth, upon hearing Zuo Zhong's questioning, he immediately explained: "Deputy Director, don't worry, these witnesses are all dock staff, and their backgrounds are clean.

At the same time, I did the identification of the sketch portraits secretly in the name of cooperating with the police station to solve the case. Outsiders didn't know about it at all. Up to now, the information is still top secret.

As for the memory bias, the target had a conflict with someone at Wuchang Wharf. At that time, the two were beaten badly. The impressions of several witnesses were very deep, and it is impossible to make mistakes. "

"What? Fight?"

Hearing what the big bald head said, Gu Qi asked back in disbelief. I have never heard of any intelligence personnel having conflicts with ordinary people during their missions. Is this because they are afraid that others will not find it.

No matter which faction the person who caused Wu Xiaoyi to destroy the relationship between the government and Red Russia belonged to, the personnel in charge of the operation should not have made such unprofessional, even ridiculous, low-level mistakes.

Zuo Zhong, who was equally astonished, stood there thinking for a moment, looked at Gu Qi and Gui Youguang: "The trace of action can't stop, Old Gu, I'm going to make a report to the seat, and then I'll see a friend.

You should keep an eye on Guo Jinyao and the sketches and portraits. If you have any news, call the office immediately. I'll say it again, don't touch Guo Jinyao for the time being. If you have any action, wait until I come back. "

After assigning the task, he walked out of the woods quickly, leaving Gu Qi and Gui Youguang staring at each other. The two were puzzled and secretly guessed who the deputy director was going to see.

In the blink of an eye, it was night again, and Zuo Zhong, who had been missing for several hours, appeared around Zhenchang Oil Factory. After seeing Gu Qi, he gave an order with a serious expression.

"Old Gu, the situation has changed, arrest people!!"

(I was recruited again on the plane. I have nothing but chills. I feel that the domestic Duzhu is okay_`, don’t worry, it will not be interrupted)
