Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

When Zhang Anping was in charge in Shanghai, he got used to the kind of life where he had to be cautious and make mistakes at every step.

In any competition, every step he takes can be described as thrilling.

And now, all 16 members of the thief intelligence team and a total of 23 bribed "guides" have been arrested.

The thief intelligence group that had made the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation helpless since it emerged in the middle of last year, was arrested in less than ten days, except for three or two core members, and the rest were all arrested without any surprises!
The reason why Zhang Anping thought of the word "calm" was because the whole process was too easy.

He began to review the information of these captured traitors and spies.

An assistant to a meteorological expert who had many collaborations with the National Army, and a major staff officer of the Air Defense Command. The identities of these two spies were the most important, and most of the arrested people were formed around two non-intersecting lines around them.
As for the "Guidelines" clue, one of the arrested persons had participated in the search and rebellion of the "Guidelines", so he provided useful clues, which led to the arrest of all the Guides.

Doesn't this look like anything wrong?

But his cautious nature told him that something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. In the intelligence business, especially for spies who go deep into the enemy's territory, everyone has to keep their heads on their shoulders. The three lines that have been seized so far seem to have a tight overall structure, but one move can lead to the arrest of all the others, which is the biggest flaw.

This kind of laxity is simply unbelievable for an intelligence team that has penetrated deep into the enemy's heartland.

Is the opponent too weak?
Or was it because he pointed out the direction, and the agents of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation had strong execution capabilities?

“The two possibilities are paradoxical to each other.”

Zhang Anping smiled silently. He was inclined to the third possibility:

This is a smokescreen. The "Thief Intelligence Team" thrown out is a smokescreen prepared by the opponent.

Smoke bombs have many uses, such as short-tail survival, such as the commonly used "praise the enemy" -

The opponent I am facing now has studied me very thoroughly!

Of course, this is just his guess and needs to be supported by evidence.

……

"Commander Zhang, we have won a great victory!"

When Zhou Yue saw Zhang Anping, he was overjoyed and said, "After this battle, there will be no more thieves in Chongqing!"

No more thieves?

Zhang Anping was suddenly stunned. Could it be that the word "thief" in the Thief Intelligence Group came from:
As long as saints live, thieves will never stop?
For the Japanese, it means that as long as the Nationalist government survives, the thieves will not stop?
He suppressed the thought in his mind and said calmly:
"Director Zhou, this is all thanks to the hard work of the Chongqing Party Committee. I will not take credit for others' achievements. I will report the performance of the Chongqing Party Committee to my superiors."

"Commander Zhang, this is so noble!" Zhou Yue was deeply moved, and then he patted his chest and said, "Commander Zhang, if you need me or the Chongqing Party Committee, please feel free to dispatch me at any time. I will never refuse."

Zhang Anping smiled playfully, then skipped over it and said, "This matter must be handled as an ironclad case, and the relevant files must be kept strictly. This is Zhang's first battle since coming to Chongqing. Director Zhou, do you understand?"

"Understood! Commander Zhang, please rest assured that we will make this case a solid one!"

Not long after Zhou Yue left, Zheng Yi, director of the Chongqing Station Intelligence Department, came in to report.

Compared to Zhou Yue's excitement, Zheng Yi's mood was a little gloomy - although the Chongqing station caught the spy Zhang Yixing and arrested several spies along the way, compared with the progress of the Central Bureau of Investigation, it was as if it had done nothing.

More than twenty "guides" were all dug out by the Central Bureau of Investigation.

After she came in, she got straight to the point: "Chief Zhang, the case has come to an end. I would like to hand over the remaining matters to the Central Bureau of Investigation. What do you think?"

Zheng Yi is also a very proud person. Although she caught a few spies this time, she is far inferior to the Central Bureau of Investigation and she does not want to compete for credit with the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Zhang Anping glanced at the gloomy female agent and nodded slightly, but made the same explanation as he did to Zhou Yue, and then asked casually:
"Director Zheng, do you intend to stop here?"

Zheng Yi shook his head: "No. I still have no clue about the leader of the Thief Intelligence Group, the 'One-Armed Thief', and I haven't found the most critical radio station yet. I want to continue digging deeper."

Judging from the currently known intelligence, the [One-Armed Bandit] is very cautious. Although the two intelligence lines and one action line below have been almost completely cut off, the [One-Armed Bandit] is safe and sound, and there is no clue about the most critical radio station, so Zheng Yi is unwilling to give up.

She is a strong-willed person who wants to use "One-Armed Bandit" and the radio station to prove that she is stronger than the Central Bureau of Investigation.

She thought Zhang Anping would say something after she said this, but what she got was Zhang Anping's silence. She couldn't help but say:

"Captain Zhang, the One-Armed Bandit is no small matter. Based on the intelligence we have so far, he most likely came to Chongqing with only two or three other people. In just over half a year, he has formed a powerful 'Bandit Intelligence Group'. If we don't eradicate this guy, another Bandit Intelligence Group will form in the future."

This is actually not Zheng Yi's personality. Zhang Anping is not her direct superior. To put it bluntly, she was seconded here, so there is no need to say the following paragraph.

But who said the person in front of me is called Zhang Shihao?
Zheng Yi really wanted to get Zhang Anping's affirmation, so he said this.

This time Zhang Anping responded to her, but what he said surprised her:
"Transfer an elite intelligence team from your intelligence department - I want elites. Also, since you want to see the 'one-armed bandit', then follow me for the time being.

I will call Xu Wenzheng and give you an 'excuse' for going on a business trip. Don't show up in front of people you know during this period. Is that okay?"

Zheng Yi quickly came back to his senses and said excitedly: "Yes!"

"Go down first - come back after the Central Bureau of Investigation delivers the files."

"Yes."

Zheng Yi excitedly took the order and left.

Looking at Zheng Yi's leaving back, Zhang Anping shook his head involuntarily. He actually didn't want to take Zheng Yi with him, but he was short of someone familiar with Chongqing, and Zheng Yi was planning to pursue the "One-Armed Bandit" relentlessly. After thinking it over, he decided to keep him by his side.

In the original time and space, it was because of Zheng Yi's stubborn character that Yu Beiping failed after achieving his goal. This was also the reason why Zhang Anping did not want to keep him by his side.

He whispered:
"However, since you are on my ship, don't plan to get off easily."

(Yu Feihong's Zheng Yi perfectly fits my imagination of a female agent... except for her alcoholism.)
……

There were various evaluations of Zhang Shihao within the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation, such as nicknames like "God of Plague".

But no matter how it is evaluated, both the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation agree on one thing:

Zhang Shihao is a proud man and he will not take credit for the achievements of his subordinates.

This is also the reason why the Central Bureau of Investigation is so motivated right now.

Precisely because of their high enthusiasm, the Central Bureau of Investigation sent over the operation files, interrogation records and other relevant information in the evening.

The files are very sloppy, and if you look carefully you can find contradictions. This is a common problem in intelligence agencies - action logs and the like are often supplemented later, so it is extremely normal to have contradictions.

As for the various beautifications that appear in the logs, that is even more reasonable.

But if we eliminate these contradictions and embellished words, we can restore the actions of the Central Bureau of Investigation in this operation as much as possible through the action log.

This is why Zhang Anping needs logs and files.

He wanted to use these logs, archives and other materials to restore the situation at all stages of the Central Bureau of Investigation from the discovery of the target to the detection and arrest, to see whether the Central Bureau of Investigation was too powerful or the opponent was too weak.

Although Zhang Anping has already concluded that "the Central Bureau of Investigation is very weak and its opponents are also very weak."

Zheng Yi was always paying attention to the movements of the Central Bureau of Investigation, so he appeared in Zhang Anping's office as soon as they sent over these materials, collectively known as dossiers.

Zhang Anping, who was reviewing a document in detail, said without raising his head:

"Pick it up for yourself."

Zheng Yi didn't hesitate to squat and started looking for information.

The two of them continued reading until midnight. Apart from having a hasty dinner that was delivered to them, they kept reading the materials.

As for the Central Bureau of Investigation, after they completed the files, the members who had not slept all night, under the leadership of Zhou Yue, all withdrew - their withdrawal also cut off their contact with the counterintelligence command.

Well, they are just waiting to be recognized and receive cash rewards.

At midnight, Zhang Anping had already finished reading the files that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics had completed in a hurry. Zheng Yi had already finished reading more than two hours ago. Seeing that Zhang Anping was still reading, she was embarrassed to leave, so she pretended to read it herself. After classifying the last file in his hand, Zhang Anping said, "Don't pretend, put the things in--"

Zheng Yi chuckled, stood up and put the file in his hand into the file box that Zhang Anping had already classified.

Zhang Anping poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "What do you think?"

"The Central Bureau of Investigation is really lucky." Zheng Yi's answer was a bit "vulgar".

Although the writers of the Central Bureau of Investigation have been beautifying the situation in the files, if we look beyond the phenomenon to the essence, from the direction pointed out by Zhang Anping to the clues found, the spy was discovered, the spy was tracked, and the spy was captured. The whole process was just like the content of the author's recent chapters, dull and uneventful.

"how about you?"

Zhang Anping's sudden question left Zheng Yi stunned.

She originally thought that finding a spy in the air defense force would be like looking for a needle in a haystack and would take some time, but her subordinates gave a perfect answer in just three days.

She was a smart person, and Zhang Anping's question made her realize why Zhang Anping kept her.

"Commander Zhang, do you think there is a problem?"

"If you have any questions, let's go and see it tomorrow. Okay, go back and have a rest. Come with me tomorrow."

"Yes!"

After Zheng Yi left, Zhang Anping wanted to go home. After all, the little guy at home was clinging to him. But he didn't come home last night and it was getting late. After thinking it over, he decided to spend the night at the counterintelligence headquarters.

The next morning, Zhang Anping brought Zheng Yi, who was simply disguised, and several secret agents to a place where the files recorded that the Central Bureau of Investigation had discovered the spy's contact and tracked him.

Zheng Yi was extremely careful. She kept recreating the situation at the scene, and when Zhang Anping finished "wandering around", she approached him:

"Captain Zhang, Manager Zhang, this place is quite suitable for a meeting."

Zhang Anping already had the answer in his mind at this time - he was 100% sure that this was a smokescreen.

Because it was here that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics captured a Japanese spy code-named "Ghost Hand" and tracked the Japanese spy to discover other spies.

Among the spies arrested this time, there were two Japanese spies, but this crucial "ghost hand" just happened to evade capture.

The intelligence industry doesn't believe in coincidences like "just happened"!

He asked Zheng Yi:

"If you were a spy, would you be hanged?"

"If he is an experienced spy, it is almost impossible to be hung here - unless he did it on purpose." Zheng Yi fell into deep doubt when she said this. Last night, based on Zhang Anping's words, she came to the conclusion that "Captain Zhang suspects that there is something wrong with this arrest."

But she thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out.

After all, the spy who was caught was real. Why did the enemy do this?
At this moment, she came to the conclusion that "unless he did it on purpose", did the enemy intentionally have the Central Bureau of Investigation hang him up?
This question, combined with last night's conclusion, made her begin to doubt her life.

what is this?
A bitter plot?
But is this how the self-torture tactic is performed?

Among the three lines exposed by the enemy, the "Guide" can be trained by spending money, but the assistant to the meteorological expert and the major staff officer of the air defense command are spies of a not low level!
Such huge investment, for what?
Zhang Anping asked in return: "What if this is a case of cutting off the tail to survive?"

He was also asking himself this question.

He began to comb his hair again.

[There must be a traitor in the Central Bureau and the Military Bureau - after the opponent learned that I was personally in charge of counterintelligence work and pointed out the direction of the investigation, for the sake of safety, he chose to cut off his tail and survive? ]

[No, if it was a last-minute move, it would be impossible to prepare so thoroughly. In other words, the plan to cut off the tail and survive was prepared long ago! Only in this way can the other party be worthy of the ability to operate under the noses of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation for such a long time. ]

[Cut off the tail to survive. Cut off the tail to save the body, but what about the opponent? I have already made preparations to cut off the tail. The tail I threw out includes not only more than 20 worthless guides, but also an assistant of a meteorological expert and a major staff officer of the air defense headquarters...]

Zhang Anping sucked in a breath of cold air. The "body" that the other party wanted to protect must be worth at least several times or even dozens of times this value!

This association made Zhang Anping feel uneasy. What kind of mole was it that was worthy of being protected in this way? He would not even allow the other party to be in the slightest danger - as soon as he realized that he had checked the direction, he immediately cut off its tail without any hesitation!

Zheng Yi was also thinking about Zhang Anping's words. Zhang Anping whispered as if asking her or himself:
"If the other party wants me to believe that this is true, will this kind of performance be enough?"

Zheng Yi thought about it, and considering Zhang Anping's suspicious nature, he said, "If it were me, this would definitely not work."

"Then you have to use another method to reassure me."

Zhang Anping muttered to himself and looked up at the sky unconsciously. What could be more convincing than a failed bombing?
Zheng Yi was really smart. She immediately realized Zhang Anping's subtext. She thought for a while and said:
"If the scale is small, it won't work. If the scale is large... then the gains will outweigh the losses. If a medium-sized bombing with minimal effect occurs in the short term, then your guess is completely valid."

"Let's wait and see - let's go..." Zhang Anping was suddenly stuck for words because he felt a terrifying "murderous aura", the kind that made his ears hurt. Following the feeling, he saw his mother Wang Chunlian and his wife Zeng Moyi standing not far away.

Only then did he notice that because of the whispering, he and Zheng Yi were closer.

He took a step back as if nothing had happened and continued:

"Go to the pier."

Zheng Yi didn't notice anything unusual, so she asked, "The pier?"

"Pick up someone."

Zhang Anping gave the answer.

It was indeed the contact person - he had previously sent a telegram to the Shanghai Station, specifying the name of the person who would be arriving.

Accustomed to the high efficiency and capabilities of his direct lineage, he... looked down upon the operational capabilities of the Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission in Chongqing.

Zheng Yi lagged behind Zhang Anping by a few steps. Looking at the confident figure in front of him, an allegorical saying emerged in his mind:

The sword was danced in front of Guan Gong.

……

street.

Wang Chunlian was about to explode with anger.

My son didn’t come home for two nights. I thought he was busy with work, but it turned out that he was shopping with a vixen?

She was furious, but she had to comfort her daughter-in-law whom she recognized: "Mo Yi, don't worry, I will go catch this bastard now, and I will beat him up when I catch him! This is outrageous!"

Zeng Moyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had never doubted Zhang Anping's integrity. Moreover, she "smelled" the scent of a spy on that woman from a distance. How could she have misunderstood?

What's more, given her identity and her understanding of Zhang Anping's identity, she was confident that her husband would not be like Dai Chunfeng.

She held her mother-in-law's hand:

"Mom, Anping is at work. If you run into him on the street in the future, no matter what's around him, you have to pretend you don't know him."

"Ah?" Wang Chunlian was stunned. The daughter-in-law, who should have been the most angry, actually comforted her?

Her anger disappeared by 80%, and she continued, "No, this is in Chongqing!"

"Mom, no matter where it is, you must remember it!" Zeng Moyi comforted her mother-in-law.

"You, you don't have the slightest suspicion about this brat——" Now it was Wang Chunlian's turn to laugh or cry. Looking at her daughter-in-law's serious expression, she took her daughter-in-law's hand with pity and said:
"Okay, okay, I know!"
