My spy diary

Chapter 58 Promotion (please recommend and vote monthly)
The sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the glass of the room on the blood in the room, making it even more eerie and eerie.

At this time, the monkey appeared at the door with a man with gray hair on his temples and a ridged face. He was hunched over and looked timid.

This person was wearing a coarse cloth shirt and a gray vest with the words "Zhengxin Car Dealer" written on it.

"Report to the captain, this person's name is Huang Defu, he is the mysterious man he pulled over at the door of the apartment today."

Looking at this old face that could not be found in a crowd, Zhang Yi smiled gently and asked:

"Can you still recall the figure and appearance of that person now? Recall it carefully."

That being said, Zhang Yi has no illusions.

The memory of a fish is only seven seconds, and humans are also forgetful. Without professional training, the other party will not leave any particularly eye-catching behavior, and no one will care about a passerby in life unless they pay special attention to it.

Huang Defu nodded anxiously and said:

"It should be about the same."

As he recalled, he said:
"He was a bit thin, very handsome, and his face was very fair. He gave me one yuan when he got off the bus. He left in a hurry before I even had change."

"Did you pay attention to where he went after he got off the car?"

Zhang Yi was not surprised that Huang Defu said something but did not say it. It was better than nothing.

"He went into a coffee shop, Xin Xin Coffee Shop."

"Oh," Zhang Yi nodded. He didn't know if the other person went to the coffee shop to meet someone or if it was a pre-designed safety measure. He might leave directly through the back door, or change his appearance in the bathroom of the coffee shop and then disappear quietly.

But as long as you go to the coffee shop, you might find witnesses. Zhang Yi didn’t want to miss any detail, pointed at Huang Defu, and immediately said to the monkey:
"Take him to the portraitist and then to the coffee shop to find the witness."

"Yes."

After giving the order, Zhang Yi stood at the window, looking at everyone in a hurry outside the window. They seemed to have secrets or some special mission.

He thought about the case, and the key to handling the case was to extract clues related to the case from the complicated information, and then expand the scope of the investigation.

The opponent is obviously a master, and it is most dangerous to pin the hope of success on the opponent's stupidity.

Of course, being a master does not mean that he makes no mistakes and never misses, but that he has constantly learned and improved from every mistake and has constantly avoided mistakes.

All I can do now is patience and details.

An hour later, looking at the portrait handed over by the portraitist, Zhang Yi frowned slightly and said:
"Turn him into a woman. Or what you are drawing now is a woman disguised as a man, and you try to restore him."

The portraitist frowned and thought for a long time, but seemed unable to grasp the point. Zhang Yi continued to describe:

"Imagine that she is young and beautiful, with a slim figure, maybe a little voluptuous or charming, around 20 to 30 years old."

After another half an hour, the portraitist racked his brains and finally provided a sketch.

She seemed to be a slender girl in her early twenties, with a face as big as a palm, a turned-up nose, thin lips, and a pointed chin.

"Look, does it look like it?" Zhang Yi called the rickshaw driver and the witnesses in the coffee shop again.

"It's a bit similar, but I always feel like something is wrong. Her eyes, yes, her eyes are a little bigger, a little heroic and a little cold."

"Yes, yes, her eyes... were very cold. She ordered a cup of coffee, took a few sips, then went to the bathroom and disappeared." The coffee shop clerk quickly agreed.

Zhang Yi asked the portraitist who was already sweating profusely to revise again, then took out two banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the two of them, saying:

"Thank you for your hard work, this is your reward."

The rickshaw driver and the coffee shop clerk were both a little flattered. They were brought directly by the menacing plainclothes men. It would be nice to go back well. However, they did not expect an unexpected gain. They quickly nodded and bowed, took the money and left.

"By the way, sir, I remembered something. The man, no, the woman, had pierced ears. I noticed it when she bent down to get out of the car. I didn't think of it just now." The rickshaw driver took a few steps and suddenly Added a few words.

"Very good." Zhang Yi nodded, asked the painter to add the details, and then said to the monkey:
"Immediately print hundreds of copies of the portrait and mobilize all the police patrols within a 10-kilometer radius of the coffee shop to identify them, especially the household registration police. Passers-by should not be spared either."

"All people with similar heights and body shapes must be screened and no one can be spared. The focus is on those with decent jobs."

"Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the mission."

Monkey stood up and saluted, and immediately took action with a few plainclothes men.

After a day of platooning, we finally got some clues. The older team members looked excited, some were hesitant and indifferent, and some had no trace of emotion on their faces.

After all, the next major investigation is a hard job.

Zhang Yi also had no trouble at all. His thinking determines his way out, which is called getting twice the result with half the effort. Sometimes an idea strikes and details determine success or failure. But in the end, solving a case often relies on luck.

If you want to catch the slippery big fish like the mysterious woman, the fishing net must be woven big and dense.

When I returned to the Secret Service, I saw no sign of Wang Xinheng. I saw Yang Wenxu and Liu Kui sitting in the office as if they were mourning their heirs.

Zhang Yi briefly reported the progress of the search, and then asked:
"How is the interrogation of the other two spies going?"

"Not very good." Liu Kui curled his lips and said:
"One couldn't stand the torture and was beaten to death, and the other confessed, but he didn't know anything. Ono is also a cunning person. He has everything in his own hands, and the only one who is a traffic officer, Kenichiro, has long been He’s dead, and now the clues are basically gone.”

"Where's Section Chief Wang?"

Liu Kui glanced at the office door and whispered:

"Where else can we go? Let's ask Boss Dai to apologize."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Wenxuan and said:
"It was an advantage to the Intelligence Department. They arrested two downlines through Boss Zhu. One of them is a traffic officer, and the one lurking in the bank is an accountant. They are responsible for the activity funds of the Chrysanthemum Group. If they follow the lead, they will not be arrested. How many rats are there?"

"They were able to arrest people because of the intelligence we provided. We also share the credit. No one would cross the river and burn the bridge, right?" Zhang Yi frowned.

"That's not necessarily the case." Yang Wenxuan, who had been frowning, suddenly said quietly. What's the meaning?
Zhang Yi didn't know why, and secretly wondered if something dirty happened between Wang Xinheng and Bao Hongfei that he didn't know about when he went out to investigate.
Small-scale cooperation requires putting aside attitudes and respecting each other, while large-scale cooperation requires putting aside interests and balancing each other. Not to mention that the Intelligence Section and the Operations Section have been in conflict for a long time, and who can be willing to let go of matters involving interests?

Just as he was about to ask a few questions, there was a knock on the office door.

A middle-aged man wearing a major's military uniform came in.

He glanced at Yang Wenxuan and Liu Kui, then turned his attention to Zhang Yi, stretched out his hands enthusiastically, and said:
"You must be Lieutenant Zhang Yi Zhang."

"Who are you?" Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment and quickly saluted.

Yang Wenxuan saluted perfunctorily, frowned and asked:
"How come Director Jiang has time to come to our operations department?"

He knew that although this person held the title of field director, he was a close confidant of Bao Hongfei, the deputy chief of the Intelligence Section, and he was doing shady things. He was probably not a bad visitor, right?

Director Jiang returned the greeting lightly and said:

"Oh, I have something to talk to Captain Zhang."

Zhang Yi frowned, we don't know each other, what is there to talk about?

Besides, if there is anything you can’t say in front of everyone, isn’t this deliberately trying to sow discord?
What if I meet you and someone snitches on Wang Xinheng? How can I still hang out in the Action Department in the future?
Zhang Yi suddenly remembered the information he had received before. Bao Hongfei wanted to poach someone. Could it be that this person came to find him according to Bao Hongfei's order?
He said solemnly and righteously:

"Director Jiang, if you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here."

Director Jiang was slightly disappointed, silent for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled slyly:
"Haha, let me tell you straight. Our Section Chief Bao appreciates Lieutenant Zhang's talents very much. The position of Major Intelligence Officer is vacant. If you are willing, we will handle the transfer."

Damn, you really said it bluntly. Isn’t this just sowing discord?

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yang Wenxuan's strange and gloomy expression, and then looked at Liu Kui's hopeful look. He suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the corridor, and his heart moved, and he said loudly:

"To be loyal to the party and the country, you must first be loyal to the chief. Ever since I joined the Operations Section, my life has been in the Operations Section. I will never switch to another company just because a high-ranking official has a good salary. Thank you Director Jiang for your kindness. Thank you Bao Ke for me as well." Long appreciated.”

"well said."

"Clap clap."

There was applause at the door of the office, and Wang Xinheng appeared at the door with a smile on his face, a look of pride on his brows.

He glanced at Director Jiang with disdain, waved his hand as if chasing someone away, and said:

"Go back and give Deputy Section Chief Bao a message to stop doing such sneaky things."

Director Jiang did not dare to refute, stared at Zhang Yi fiercely, and left.

Seeing the admiring look on Wang Xinheng's face, Zhang Yi carefully recalled his performance just now and felt it was flawless. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Yang Wenxuan and Liu Kui in saluting.

"Section Chief."

Wang Xinheng returned the gift, showing no sign of decadence at all. Instead, he said cheerfully:

"I just came back from the Virgo, and the committee has approved the previous report reports."

As he spoke, he gestured to the secretary behind him.

The secretary took out a tray with a third-class Yunhui Medal, a fifth-class Yunhui Medal, a captain's epaulette and a lieutenant's epaulette on it.

Wang Xinheng's expression changed, he walked to his desk and said seriously:

"First of all, on behalf of the Operations Section of the Secret Service, I would like to congratulate the three men for their meritorious service in killing the enemy and eradicating the Japanese spies lurking in the staff headquarters."

"Major Yang Wenxuan was awarded the third-class Yunhui Medal."

He looked at Zhang Yi and said:
"Zhang Yi, you have made extraordinary moves these few times. You have become a blockbuster. You have been awarded a special commendation by the Chief Minister, promoted to the rank of captain, and awarded a fifth-class Yunhui Medal."

"Liu Kui also performed well and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant."

When the three heard the news, they looked at each other, the corners of their mouths raised, and their eyes filled with joyful smiles.

Wang Xinheng smiled and handed the rank medal to the three of them and said:

“The award ceremony of our Secret Service is usually held in a small auditorium, attended by a small number of high-level cadres or informed officers.

Today's investiture ceremony is a bit simple, but Virgo said that we should strive to be unsung heroes and don't care about the size of military ranks and official positions.
Nowadays, Japanese spies are still lurking in Jinling. These rats are like time bombs that will detonate at any time. The current task is to eliminate them completely. "

"Everyone, this is a state matter, and it is also a duty. We should work hard and move forward with loyalty and courage...

As long as you have eradicated the Japanese spies and made great achievements, you will be personally awarded with honors and certificates of honor at next year's April 1st Secret Service Celebration Ceremony. "

"Yes, we should work hard and move forward bravely." Zhang Yi and the others immediately saluted and expressed their stance.

After the ceremony, Wang Xinheng returned to his smiling face like Maitreya Buddha, said congratulations a few times, then patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder and said:
"The Intelligence Department is willing to give up the rank of major, but my operations department is reluctant to give up? Don't worry, when the case of the Chrysanthemum Team is solved, you will be worthy of the rank of major."

After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.

"Thank you, section chief, for your cultivation."

Zhang Yi saluted again, and couldn't help but curse in his heart. The most important spy leader Ono Kikusan was killed by you. The other members of the Juhua team may have escaped long ago. Is it that easy to crack down?
"Congratulations to the team leader, congratulations to the captain." Liu Kui happily took up his lieutenant's epaulette, beaming with joy.

Zhang Yi and Yang Wenxuan said congratulations to each other.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi has the rank of lieutenant. Yang Wenxuan has just been promoted to major. It is not that easy to be promoted again.

However, the third-class Yunhui Medal is still very valuable. After all, it is personally approved by the commission, and it is also a manifestation of honor and qualifications.
