Double Agent Saga

In the evening of that day, Guo Chongmu, director of the Department of Operations of the Ministry of National Defense, packed up the things on the table and went out with his leather bag. 【】He stood in front of the map for another day today, discussing with several other senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense about the recent military mobilization.At this moment, he felt tired all over, and wanted to go to the bathhouse to take a hot bath and relax.

When the weather is hot, he takes a bath at home every day.A big wooden tub and a pot of hot water are enough.After taking a bath, it is also very comfortable to sit in the small courtyard to cool off.Now that the weather is getting cooler, I don't have to take a shower every day.He goes to the bathhouse for a soak almost every two or three days.

The bathhouse he went to has a famous name called "Tsinghua Pool".This is a relatively good bath.Guo Chongmu got off the car at the gate of "Tsinghua Pool" and asked the driver to drive back.It is very close to his home, and he can walk home after taking a shower.

The changing room in the bathhouse is a large room.As soon as people enter, they can feel the heat from the bath.There are about dozens of beds in the big room, densely arranged.Every two bunks are separated by waist-high partitions.Some people who had taken a shower were sitting on the bunks to dry their sweat, some were drinking tea, some were sleeping, and some were playing chess or chatting with the person opposite.Men in short white jackets weaved up and down the aisles, yelling at each other for towels or tea.

Guo Chongmu is a regular customer here, and a clerk smiled and led him to a bunk in the corner, "Mr. Guo, you are still here, it is quiet here."

Guo Chongmu didn't speak, but just took off his coat and handed it to the buddy.The man picked up his clothes with a long bamboo pole and hung them on a row of hooks on the roof.This is a very safe way, without this long bamboo pole, no one can take away the guest's clothes.

In fact, there is a single room specially prepared for distinguished guests in the "Tsinghua Pool", which has a bed and a bathtub, and the conditions are also very good.But if you want to take a bath to relieve fatigue, it is best to be in a big pool.Guo Chongmu took off his clothes, wrapped his body in a bath towel, and went into the bathroom.

The bathroom is also a large room.The roof is very high, and the household is on the roof.Steam filled the room, and steamy water flowed on the walls.Someone hummed Kunqu opera loudly, and the people next to him played the rhythm for him.The room in the bathroom is a large pool, rectangular, which is divided into four small square pools.The water temperature in the four pools is different, and the deeper the pool, the higher the water temperature.The innermost pool was deserted, and the water there was too hot.

Guo Chongmu sat in the second pool and soaked slowly.When his whole body is heated through, he will enter the third pool.Staying in this pool for 15 minutes will make him red all over and sweat profusely.

When he was sweating, he came out of the pool and lay down on a long wooden bench that was as wide as a person.A bald-headed scrubber will come to scrub him.The bald-headed scrubber repeatedly scrubbed a large, thick towel in the pool, wrung it dry, unfolded it and shook it with crackling noises, wrapped it around his palm for an instant, and began to scrub him.From the neck down to the toes, you have to rub it one time, and you have to rub it to create that refreshing pain, which is called comfort.

After taking a bath, the scrubber poured water on him with a small wooden bucket, and then patted his back with his palm.Finally, soap him with a loofah.

Guo Chongmu finally took a shower.Put on the wooden slippers by the pool, and a guy put a big bath towel on him.He swayed and slammed out of the bathroom, and sat down on his bunk.

The guy brought tea and hot towels.He spread out the towel to wipe the sweat from his head and body.

On the opposite bunk lay a man, who had obviously taken a shower and was reading a newspaper.Guo Chongmu was sitting on the bunk drying his body, ready to put on his clothes after cooling off.

At this time, worries came to his mind.

It is now the end of October, and the Northeast's defeat is set.The senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense have no illusions about taking back the Northeast, and the measures they have taken can only be to withdraw as many troops from the Northeast as possible.They could all imagine that from Yingkou to Huludao, the defeated soldiers were rushing to the sea.Only by sea could they escape the siege of the communist army.

Guo Chongmu stood in front of the map every day, feeling very worried.

He has been briefed internally.Several units of the Northeast Field Army have begun to go south and advance into the pass.Therefore, the military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense discussed how to strengthen the strategic defense of North China.

The military mobilization in North China has already begun, how can he send this situation out?Who will contact him?This is what he thinks about every day.

He sat on the bunk for 10 minutes, and the sweat on his body has receded.He called the guys and told them to take the clothes off their heads.The clerk talked to him enthusiastically and took off all his clothes.

Guo Chongmu began to dress slowly.

At this time, the guest opposite him put down the newspaper, sat up too, and nodded to him with a smile.The man turned to the left and right, and asked casually, "Excuse me, sir, what time is it?"

This is a question that Guo Chongmu has been looking forward to for a long time, but it also shocked him, even though he didn't show it on the surface.He saw at a glance that the man's watch was placed on the tea table in the room.

He restrained the abnormality in his heart, and raised his chin at the man's watch, "Where's your watch?"

The man smiled, "My watch is not accurate, and I don't know if it is fast or slow."

Guo Chongmu looked around, and the partitions around him blocked other people's sight.But he still deliberately slowed down.He took out his watch from his pocket, and said softly, "It's 21:[-]."

The man also checked his watch and said calmly: "My watch is 6 minutes behind."

Guo Chongmu didn't know what to do, he just felt blood rushing to his face.He stared at the man cautiously.

The man was young, probably in his early 30s.Tall, with a strong body.He was putting down his watch and getting dressed slowly.

"Who are you?" Guo Chongmu asked.

The man glanced at him and smiled, "Mr. Guo, my surname is Du, Du Ziyuan. My duty is to protect your safety. After Zhang Yalan's accident, I am now in charge of contacting you. Now please dress slowly. North China Bureau The Ministry of Intelligence ordered me to contact you as soon as possible. I want to ask, do you have anything in hand now?"

"Yes. No, not now, not now." Guo Chongmu slowly put on his shirt and buttoned it, "everything is in the office."

"When will you take a shower next time?"

"I can come back tomorrow." Guo Chongmu said seriously.

"No, don't disturb your habits, so as not to be suspected."

"That is three days later, or at this time, I will come to take a bath. Will you come?"

"Of course I will come. I will arrive earlier and check the surrounding situation first. If there is no problem, I will talk to you. If I don't talk to you, it means that there is a problem around, and you should be more vigilant."

"OK, Got it."

"In addition, I want to tell you. Someone has suspected you. Someone may have bugged your office and home."

"I've noticed it. But I dare not tear it apart."

"You did the right thing. Don't disassemble it, just be cautious. Mr. Guo, then I will go first, and I will pay attention to your back outside. If there is any problem, I will notify you. You wear it slowly. ,Do not worry."

Du Ziyuan put on his clothes, walked around casually, and then left.

Guo Chongmu looked at Du Ziyuan's leaving back, his heart suddenly became clear, and he felt bright and light all over his body.He understood that the next thing he had to do was to prepare "things".He has too much "stuff" to prepare.

At this time, Du Ziyuan had already gone outside.He looked around, then across the street.He bought a newspaper at a newsstand and read it while paying attention to his surroundings.From now on, the responsibility to protect the safety of the "locust tree" falls more directly on his shoulders.

These days, he took some measures, hoping to attract the attention of the secret agents to Yu Zhidao.I personally observed the "Chinese pagoda tree" for many days, and confirmed that the spies were only watching outside his home, and no one was watching on the way to and from get off work, which finally gave him the opportunity today.He guessed in his heart that this was probably the result of Zuo Shaoqing's arrangement.

He was very happy, thinking about how to tell Zuo Shaoqing the good news today.

At this moment, Zuo Shaoqing felt a little uneasy.Because she noticed that her younger sister, You Shaoqing, had been a little elusive in the past two days, and seemed to be doing something behind her back.

Zuo Shaoqing's nerves were tense all the time.In her heart, behind any small question, there may be a huge danger lurking.At nine o'clock in the evening, she was sitting in the begonia room by the revolving door, thinking about this matter, and her question now was her sister.

There was a light knock on the door outside the private room.Before she could react, the door swung open.She immediately saw Du Ziyuan's excited smile.

Du Ziyuan's first words were, "Young Master Zuo, I'm taking over."

Zuo Shaoqing was really taken aback, "Didn't you notice the situation? Is your back clean?"

"No problem at all." Du Ziyuan sat down in front of her, "I checked it carefully. This is your credit. You got rid of Huang Fenglin and the biggest danger. I also took some measures to draw their attention. The force was transferred to Yu Zhidao. I went to the bathhouse in advance and observed it carefully, and there was nothing abnormal. I came out and observed it carefully, and there was no problem. Three days later, we still met in the bathhouse, and he would bring me something. "

Zuo Shaoqing stared at him in astonishment, and murmured a little: "You must be careful, be careful."

Zuo Shaoqing still felt a little uneasy in his heart.Ye Gongjin's attention might be shifted to Yu Zhidao, and it was this that made her suspicious.Is Ye Gongjin so easy to deceive?impossible.

Then, she thought of her sister.No matter how close her sister is to her, she is also her opponent.

She didn't expect that this time, Ye Gongjin was really deceived, because something really happened to Yu Zhidao.

Du Ziyuan took out a few pages from his purse and put them in front of Zuo Shaoqing, "Let's get down to business. The list of guests for the engagement ceremony has to be finalized."

Zuo Shaoqing picked up the list and read it.That was the business of their meeting tonight.
