My spy diary

Chapter 367 Arrested (asking for monthly ticket)

The dusk in the mountain city is still quiet and gorgeous, but unlike the last time I came back, this time it really feels like a lifetime ago.

Thinking back to the last time I made an impassioned speech in front of Boss Dai and the glory of being entrusted with an important task, my memory has become so vague.

This time, he came back as a suspect to be investigated, no, to be examined.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

Zhang Yi hadn't felt such a sunset for a long time, which gave him a strong sense of fate.

At this moment, he will undoubtedly embark on a dangerous journey and face a situation that is completely opposite to the previous one.

Looking at this beautiful scene, he wondered what kind of revelation God was giving him. Was it the last beautiful thing before death, or was it a foreshadowing of a fateful ending that would pay off after all the hard work?

He didn't know all this.

In a trance, he recalled a conversation he had with Zheng Huhe at the Shanghai dock on his way back.

"Is the Military Intelligence Bureau so anxious to transfer you back because of the information transmission?" Zheng Huhe asked. He realized this after confirming the traitor.

Zhang Yi didn't say anything. He looked at him for a long time and asked:

"How are you doing? Have you eliminated the traitor?"

“No.” Zheng Huhe said with a guilty look on his face, “He hid in No. 76 and didn’t show his face. There was no chance to attack him. Old Meng was executed by them and even his body was not found.”

Zhang Yi was silent, took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for himself, and handed the rest to Lao Zheng.

Zheng Huhe lit two and stuck one into the ground.

Wisps of green smoke rise up, as if to commemorate the dead souls.

He silently clasped his hands together and bowed to the smoke that replaced the incense, saying: "The revolutionary died on the battlefield, but he will always live in our hearts."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his lips, but his eyes were wet.

After a pause, he calmed down, looked at Zhang Yi and said, "It was my negligence that hurt you this time."

"No." Zhang Yi shook his head firmly, "There is no distinction between the national and the red in the fight against Japan."

"That's right! But others may not think so."

Zheng Huhe's face was solemn. "They are just suspicious of you now. What I am most worried about is that they will use you as a scapegoat for the Military Control Commission's leak of secrets...

According to the Military Control Commission's style of preferring to kill someone by mistake rather than letting him go, even if you manage to save your life this time, it will be difficult for you to gain Dai Chunfeng's trust again."

"Don't worry, if the enemy comes, we will stop him. If the water comes, we will block it. If the innocent are innocent, they will be cleared. I have my own plan to deal with it."

Zheng Huhe was stunned for a moment, then regained his firm gaze:

"I have been keeping an eye on you since I was in the Military Intelligence Bureau. Now I can prove that you are different from them. You have helped us a lot. As long as there are young people who are committed to revolution, Baota Mountain will welcome them with open arms. If you are willing to go there, I can be your introducer."

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Old Zheng, do you think this is an attempt to turn me against you?"

"I'm just worried about your safety."

"What about you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Your organization has suffered heavy losses. What are your plans?"

"I'm going to Jiangbei." Zheng Huhe looked serious and said to him, "It seems you still need to go back to the Military Control Bureau."

"Of course I have to go back and show up with dignity."

"Okay, but how to regain Dai Chunfeng's trust depends on you alone." Zheng Huhe said, thinking for a while, and then said:

“We will help if needed.”

"Thank you." Zhang Yi felt warm in his heart and nodded.

"Take care of yourself."

"See you in victory."

"The Japanese devils will get out of China sooner or later," Zheng Huhe said firmly.

The two held each other's hands tightly and then separated.

Recalling the conversation with Zheng Huhe, Zhang Yi got off the boat with a serious face. He had to be fully prepared to deal with what was coming next.

He squeezed out of the crowd dragging their luggage towards the shore and looked around from afar.

A black Dodge car with a Military Control Commission license plate was parked far away at the dock. A burly man in a top hat was sitting in the driver's seat, staring at him intently through the front windshield of the car.

Zhang Yi was about to move over, but suddenly stopped.

wrong.

Because the driver and his entourage looked very unfamiliar.

Although he had returned to the Military Intelligence Bureau for investigation, no one had any reason to touch him at the moment. Even if it was just a pretense, they would send someone they knew to pick him up in order to keep him stable.

But he didn't know these people at all.

Maybe they are not members of the Military Control Commission at all.

Realizing the danger, Zhang Yi immediately retreated into the crowd.

At this moment, a black muzzle of a gun stretched out from the car window.

"boom"

As he pulled the trigger, the rear door of the car opened wide, and several nimble plainclothes officers rushed down and started shooting with their guns raised. A fierce burst of gunfire suddenly broke out.

Zhang Yi rolled on the ground and quickly blended into the crowded crowd.

"Shooting, killing!"

The panicked crowd recovered from the shock and began to flee and shout like headless flies. The dock soon fell into chaos.

While running away, Zhang Yi glanced and saw cotton-padded jackets being sold at a stall at the dock. The owner was anxiously packing up his packages and preparing to escape.

Zhang Yi rushed over, threw down a few banknotes, and without saying a word, grabbed the khaki cotton jacket which was completely different in color from the clothes he was wearing and put it on.

As he walked, he took off his top hat, picked up a woolen hat of a different color from the bus next to him, put it on his head, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.

At this moment, on the chaotic street, a killer was running towards them with a gun in his hand, searching the crowd.

Zhang Yi sneered, pulled his woolen hat, lowered his head, started working, and walked over.

At the moment they passed each other, the expression on the killer's face changed suddenly.

He suddenly stood still, motionless.

Zhang Yi brushed past him as if he had done nothing and quickly walked into an alley.

Then, he watched from afar as the killer slowly fell to his knees with a plop.

"Yang Bao, what's wrong with you?"

Another killer ran over and looked at him strangely.

The next moment, Yang Bao subconsciously looked at his ribs, and a stream of blood slowly seeped out.

He wanted to say something, but it was too late. He fell headfirst to the ground, and large amounts of blood gushed out from beneath him.

"Yang Bao?" The killer looked around with fear on his face and immediately called his companions.

At the entrance of the alley, Zhang Yi put away the dagger in his hand and watched everything silently.

One person died, one was at the scene, and two are still alive.

Zhang Yi became even more certain that these people were not from the Military Control Commission.

Because the Military Control Commission was used to working in groups of three to cooperate with each other.

Judging from his behavior and style, he is not a formal member of the Military Control Commission, but perhaps a peripheral agent developed from within the society.

If they really come to arrest me, the most likely people to appear are two men and one woman.

When they find him, the woman will pretend to be his wife or a decent woman, and the other two will pretend to be the woman's brothers, and take him away in public under the pretext of catching him cheating or other pretexts, without arousing anyone's suspicion.

An old trick, but one that never fails.

Zhang Yi watched coldly. He had to first figure out who wanted to kill him so brazenly and unscrupulously. Soon, the other two killers came running over in a panic.

Without thinking, Zhang Yi rushed out of the alley and started shooting.

"bang bang bang"

After three shots, the three killers fell to the ground.

Two were shot in the brow and one was shot in the chest.

The man who was shot in the chest was gasping and struggling to get up. In his blurred vision, he saw a figure getting closer and closer to him.

Slowly, he finally saw clearly that the person approaching him was Zhang Yi.

Just as he was about to raise the gun in his hand, someone stepped on his wrist.

"It's not that you're lucky, it's that I showed mercy. If the bullet had been a little off, you would have been dead a long time ago."

Zhang Yi leaned over and looked at his watch. "It takes thirty minutes to get to the nearest hospital from the dock. If you want to stay alive, tell me who sent you."

"District Chief Zhang, I am also following orders."

"Who? Name."

"I can't tell them, or they won't let my family go."

"You are afraid of them, but not me?" Zhang Yi smiled playfully, "You should understand that it is easy for me to know the address of your family members."

"You can't do this."

"For a murderous person, there is nothing he can't do. I am not as merciful as you think."

Zhang Yi sneered and stared at him, "I'll give you three seconds to think about it, or I'll take your gun and go find them now."

"Don't tell me." The killer's eyes were red and he was breathing weakly.

"Yes, Lin Shiliang."

Zhang Yi was stunned, and suddenly he understood. So that's it.

Who is Lin Shiliang? His current identity is the manager of the Transportation Department of the Central Trust Bureau.

There are rumors that he is Minister Kong's future son-in-law and Miss Kong's fiancé.

In fact, this is not the case. According to Zhang Yi's understanding, given Miss Kong's temperament, no man would be willing to pursue this marriage.

Besides, Miss Kong Er always dressed in men's clothes and had no interest in the opposite sex at all.

This Lin Shiliang often goes in and out of the Kong family. No one in the Kong family treats him as an outsider, and they do not deny the truth of the rumors. This is due to his unique identity. He is the adopted son of Kong and also a tool for Kong to make money.

I didn't expect that I had just offended the two Xies in Shanghai and refused to go along with them, but their revenge came so quickly and was so difficult.

"Help me call a car, save me"

"No need for that?" Zhang Yi glanced at him indifferently, "I said I'm not as kind as you think."

As he said this, he took advantage of the killer's daze and broke his neck without hesitation.

After dealing with all this, Zhang Yi quickly evacuated the place and hid in a corner of the dock to observe.

At this moment, it was getting dark. There were many more policemen at the dock, as well as a number of plainclothes Military Control Commission officers walking around. Among them, several were from the same group.

He observed silently, lost in thought.

The conflict between Director Dai and Minister Kong has a long history.

This requires us to mention one person - Deng Wenyi.

This person worked as a secretary in the attendant's office, but he was Minister Kong's man.

In terms of knowledge and qualifications, Dai Chunfeng could not match him, but in terms of hard work and loyalty to Chang, Deng was definitely not as good as Dai Chunfeng.

It was for this reason that Chang appointed Dai Chunfeng as the head of the Investigation Section of the Nanchang Headquarters, taking over the Investigation Section under Deng Wengyi and the huge spy network it belonged to.

This man has a large team of 1200 agents under his command, and most of them are high-level talents such as "returnees" and old brothers who graduated from Huangpu.

In terms of personnel composition, "returnees" account for a considerable proportion, most of whom studied in Japan and the Soviet Union. In particular, many of them were talents who left the Red Party and joined the Guo Party camp 27 years later.

For example, Wang Xinheng, Li Guokan, Xie Mougong, Chen Mouming, Wu Jingzhong and so on.

At the beginning, Boss Dai had only a few hundred people under him, almost all of whom were "natives" and "grassroots". In an instant, he felt that "all the heroes in the world are within my grasp".

Although these people had left the Red Party, the Red Party's style of connecting with the masses and focusing on investigation and research had not changed, and they knew the Red Party very well. With their joining, the anti-Red work that had given Boss Dai the most headaches quickly turned around.

It was with the addition of these people that the Secret Service grew stronger.

Although this was a decision made by Chang based on certain considerations, Dai Chunfeng undoubtedly offended Kong.

The second incident was due to a dispute over the position of Director of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau.

Minister Kong recommended Yang Lao Hu, who had served as the Shanghai Garrison Commander, but was rejected by Chang.

Since the Anti-Japanese War, supplies have been scarce and the situation has been grim. Corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen have colluded everywhere to make a fortune from the national crisis. In particular, the rice-grabbing craze in Chengdu caused a lot of uproar. Chang has realized the urgency of combating corruption. Although he cannot punish Kong, he has to try to suppress it.

In particular, Yang Lao Hu amassed a huge amount of wealth and enriched himself while serving as the commander of the Shanghai Garrison. Not only did he spend a huge amount of money to marry three concubines, but he also built a luxurious villa in West Lake, which aroused public outcry. Chang had to dismiss him from his post.

How dare we give such an important and lucrative job of anti-smuggling to a person with a history of corruption?

As a result, the position of Director of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau fell on Boss Dai again, which also led to the incompatibility between him and Minister Kong.

But he is a royal relative after all. Even though Dai Chunfeng is extremely powerful, he would try to avoid him as much as possible. He is also unwilling to easily provoke Lin Shiliang, who has a powerful backer.

Even Boss Dai didn't want to offend him, but Zhang Yi offended him.

Lin Shiliang wanted to assassinate him in such a high-profile manner, even bribing the Military Control Commission's peripheral agents. Did Boss Dai know?
Don’t know? Or do you know and choose the default?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi was dejected. It was really "new wounds added to the old ones". After working loyally for several years, he ended up in such a miserable state.

Maybe this is the fate of the chess piece!
Lost? Sad? Regretful? Sad?
A voice in his heart asked him.

There is a saying that goes, under broad daylight, a powerless little person can live longer if he is a little confused and deaf and blind.

But there is also a saying that there are things you should and shouldn’t do.

But he never regretted it and never felt sad. What is sad is this world.

Of course, this world will not be as beautiful as we imagine, but it is not that bad either, because there is a group of shining people working hard for a new world.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi simply walked out of the darkness and walked towards the Military Control Commission's car with confidence.

"Chief Zhang, I'm sorry, don't move, or you'll die. Hand over your weapon."

Soon, two plainclothes officers from the first police station discovered him and pointed two guns at the back of Zhang Yi's head.

Zhang Yi cooperated and took out his pistol, then took out the dagger from his waist, slowly handed it to the two men, and asked:

"Where is the chief?"

"He's in the car over there."

The two plainclothes officers did not dare to relax at all, their fingers were tightly gripping the triggers, and the tremors in their voices still revealed their inner tension.

Not far away, in a black car parked on the side of the road, He Shangyou, director of the Military Intelligence Department, was staring at Zhang Yi in the distance.

The driver in the driving seat looked at him in the rearview mirror, asking if he could pass.

"Wait a little longer." He Shangyou, who was sitting in the back seat, kept following Zhang Yi's eyes.

The driver said nothing and waited patiently.

After Zhang Yi's gun was taken away and he was under control, He Shangyou looked around carefully again. Not finding anything wrong, he leaned back and said to the driver:

"Go over there."

The driver started the engine, shifted gears, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car to Zhang Yi's side.

The car window opened, revealing He Shangyou's face. He smiled and said:
"As expected of Section Chief Zhang, it's easy for him to deal with a few kittens. I was worried just now."

Zhang Yi looked at him without saying anything. The Military Control Commission really knew that someone was trying to assassinate him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, He Shangyou gave him a complicated look, then his face darkened:
"Zhang Yi, come with us!"
