Double Agent Saga

That night, Zuo Shaoqing introduced everything they found to Zhang Yalan and Xiao Fanbing one by one.

This fifth latent group in Wuhan has been providing economic intelligence to Taiwan for several years.They recently resumed contact with Taiwan, nearly a year after they were cut off.Currently, one is Ji Baoxing and the other is Li Changgui.But both recently quit their jobs and have been active in the streets.

Through surveillance, they contacted the most, one was the owner of "Rongsheng Snack Bar", and the other was a young man who lived in Santiao Lane, Zhaojiadun.Their exchanges are very frequent.In addition, there is a woman among them, but I have not seen it clearly, I don't know who it is.

Both Zhang Yalan and Xiao Fanbing felt the same way. This group of spies might really want to take some action.

Zhang Yalan said: "Sister, when the time comes, if you need it, I can immediately notify the Wuhan Public Security Bureau." [

Zuo Shaoqing smiled slightly, "I hope that won't happen. My purpose is not for these few people."

Zhang Yalan immediately said, "I understand."

It was also on this night that "these people" Zuo Shaoqing mentioned, Wei Mingshui, You Shaoqing, and radio operator Liu Xi, were all sitting in the small account room of "Rongsheng Snack Bar".They have just received a telegram from the headquarters.The content of the telegram was: "The transportation has arrived in Han. Tomorrow, we will pick up the radio station and funds as agreed."

At this time, the lights in the small account room of "Rongsheng Snack Bar" were dim and silent.

This telegram made them all feel nervous and dangerous.

Wei Mingshui put down the telegram slowly, and stared at You Shaoqing with a gloomy face, "You Shao, do you believe in this traffic, are you just here to send radio stations and funds?"

You Shaoqing also stared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Old Wei, I never believe it! There must be another purpose!"

Wei Mingshui pursed his lips and said, "But what is their purpose? Are they really trying to harm us?"

You Shaoqing whispered: "Old Wei, there is a way, it depends on whether the traffic has contact with those outsiders. If there is, it will definitely be bad for us!"

Wei Mingshui nodded, "Okay then, let's get ready for this traffic! If he has contact with those outsiders, we must act first!"

Zuo Shaoqing said: "Old Wei, don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

The three of them stared at each other in silence.You don't need to open your mouth to know that they think the same, and they will never allow anyone to endanger their lives!

On the same night, Zhao Minggui and Xu Wenmei sat quietly in their rented private house, and were also receiving telegrams from the headquarters.

Xu Wenmei was wearing headphones, sitting in front of the radio, adjusting the receiving knob.She heard the call from the headquarters first.When she heard the first wire signal, she knew that the headquarters was calling her.But just to be cautious, she waited for a while to confirm that the signal was indeed sent by the operator she had already heard.With a slight flick of her finger, a set of answering codes was sent out.She picked up her pencil and prepared to copy it.

After 1 minute, she finished copying.She sent out a set of end codes: "Reception error."

Zhao Minggui has already taken out the cipher book and translated the telegram.The telegram reads: "The commissioner has arrived in Han. We will meet in the future as agreed to accept important tasks. Don't miss it."

Zhao Minggui looked at the telegram and began to think about it. He muttered in a low voice, "What's wrong with the headquarters? The special commissioner has arrived. Why did you ask us to meet in the future? What is he dawdling about?"

Xu Wenmei said with a smile: "It's hard to come here, and let people walk around."

Zhao Minggui snorted, "At this time, would he be so careless? I have a lot of questions in my mind, and I just wait for this special commissioner to explain." [

The suspicious Zhao Minggui had too many questions in his mind.

Xu Wenmei looked at Zhao Minggui, who was full of doubts, and said in a low voice, "Gui, be patient. If the headquarters doesn't explain clearly to us, we can't do it."

She packed up the radio, put it in the cupboard, and came back and said, "Ah Gui, go to sleep, it's already midnight."

At night, Zhao Minggui was lying in Xu Wenmei's arms as usual, still holding her nipple in his mouth, and gently stroking her body with his hands.He was thinking over and over again about the matter in front of him.He had a feeling that the commissioner's visit this time would definitely bring him trouble, even danger.But at this time, he had to meet with the special commissioner to find out what kind of mission he was undertaking.Right now, he doesn't know what to do.

Xu Wenmei looked at him slightly, her body swayed slightly, as if she was really holding her child.The itching on his chest has been transmitted to his heart.She said in her heart: "Ah Gui, everything will be fine, don't worry too much. I'm right by your side."

Everything is quiet.But people from all parties are acting secretly.

In Beijing, the telegram received by Zhao Minggui was also received by Lao Luo of the Second Bureau of the Central Media Department.The telegram was immediately delivered to experts in deciphering.At five o'clock in the morning, the telegram was deciphered.

At six o'clock in the morning, Du Ziyuan, who lives in the guest house of the provincial military region, received a call from Wu Jian, informing him of a long-distance call from Beijing, asking him to go to the confidential room to answer it.

Du Ziyuan, who was washing up, hurriedly wiped his face with a towel, and then ran to the confidential room.Fortunately, the guest house is just outside the compound of the provincial military region, and it is also very close to the confidential room.He was there in a few minutes.

Wu Jian was waiting for him outside the confidential room.The two female operators on duty have been invited out by him.They stood in the corridor, looking at Du Ziyuan who was running in a hurry.

It was Lao Luo who called.On the other end of the phone, he read out the deciphered message word by word, including every punctuation mark.Du Ziyuan was on the phone, took a pencil, and wrote down the telegram word by word, and carefully wrote down every punctuation mark.

The telegram is as follows: "(Special, personnel) arrived in Han (.) (planned, planned) meeting (or meeting) () to accept () important or special) tasks (.) (?) Mistake (.) "

After Du Ziyuan copied the telegram, he returned to his room in the guest house of the provincial military region and began to study the telegram carefully.

He knew that deciphered telegrams were rarely fully deciphered.There are three reasons: first, limited by the number of reference messages.The more telegrams received, the more reference objects.In each telegram, even if only one or two words are deciphered, all the telegrams can refer to each other and substitute each other, so that the main idea of ​​the telegram can be known.The more reference messages, the higher the accuracy rate.Second, limited by time.It takes a lot of time for so many telegrams to refer to each other and substitute each other.But the telegram was received last night and the deciphering was completed this morning. Of course, this time is not enough.Third, the message deciphering only needs to be roughly accurate, not all deciphering.This kind of telegram is time-sensitive, and it is enough to confirm that the general meaning is accurate, and it should not take too much time.

Du Ziyuan could understand such a deciphered message.The text in brackets is added after guesswork.This supplement requires readers to carefully consider when researching.The punctuation in the brackets is also added by the codebreaker, which is a kind of sentence break.Readers can also re-sentence when needed.The question mark in the brackets means that this set of passwords has not been deciphered, nor has the appropriate text been guessed, and readers need to think carefully.

Therefore, there are roughly two ways for Du Ziyuan to read this telegram.The first reading method is to remove all the brackets and the words inside, and you can read it clearly.What he read out meant: "(Someone) arrived in Wuhan, met the day after tomorrow, and accepted the task."

The second way of reading is to try to guess the undeciphered message in brackets and connect the text as much as possible.In this way, what he read out means: "(Some important person) has arrived in Wuhan, and will meet as planned in the future to accept important tasks, so don't miss it."

Du Ziyuan compared the meanings read by these two reading methods to confirm that there were no mistakes.

Theoretically speaking, the decipherer and the reader may get completely different results after reading the same deciphered message.Because their situation is different.But this time, what Du Ziyuan understood was exactly the same as that of the decipherer.Also because this telegram is really short.

Next, Du Ziyuan began to think about the meaning revealed in this telegram.First, an important person has arrived in Wuhan.Second, the day after tomorrow (for now, tomorrow) will meet with Zhao Minggui.Third, Zhao Minggui is about to accept an important task.Fourth, the task is extremely important and cannot be delayed.

At this time, a question popped up in his mind: "Why is it 'the day after tomorrow'? This person has already arrived in Wuhan, why should he stay for an extra day? Does he have other things to do this day?" indecision.

Another question that Du Ziyuan had to consider was, what task would Zhao Minggui accept? [

In Du Ziyuan's mind, there are only two types of tasks that Zhao Minggui will accept: the first type is the various tasks that potential secret agents usually undertake, such as spying, stealing secrets, sabotage, assassination and so on.The second category is tasks that may be related to "Water Hyacinth" and Zuo Shaoqing who is fleeing.

If it is the second category, then he is right to come to Wuhan this time!

Du Ziyuan reconsidered this.Conversely, if it is the first type of mission, there is already a hidden spy team in Wuhan, and contact has been restored, so there is no need to transfer another team from Jinan.After thinking about it in this way, Du Ziyuan gradually understood that the important task that Zhao Minggui was about to accept was very likely to be of the second category.

Du Ziyuan considered all these issues clearly, so he called Wu Jian and Qin Donghai to discuss with them the work of monitoring Zhao Minggui's team.He said: "It must be closely monitored, especially the meeting with Zhao Minggui tomorrow. If there is any situation, report to me immediately. No one is allowed to act without authorization. My location is in this room of the guest house. Call me anytime. "

At this time, generally speaking, all the forces hidden in Wuhan have made preparations in secret.
