Double Agent Saga

After several discussions, Lao Luo and Du Ziyuan were finally convinced that the only option now was to report the matter to the minister in order to gain greater support.

** The head of the Central Investigation Department is surnamed Li.He is actually a soldier, and has a very high rank.In Du Ziyuan's view, he is still a legend in China's hidden front, and he is full of respect in his heart.

But meeting this Minister Lee is not easy.Lao Luo personally went out to negotiate with Director He of the general office, and repeatedly explained the seriousness of the situation.Two days later, Director He of the General Office finally told Lao Luo that Minister Li had a half-hour break at noon, and asked him to seize this time to report on his work.

As a result, Minister Li listened to Lao Luo and Du Ziyuan's report for two hours, and dropped all other work in the middle.In the middle of the report, Minister Li made a phone call to Deputy Minister Xiang who is concurrently the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Central Adjustment Department, and asked about the situation.When he put down the phone, his face became more serious.

Such a situation indicates that Lao Luo and Du Ziyuan's report will not be easy.

As the report progressed, Minister Li's face became more and more severe.

He said sternly: "KMT secret agents, you have been inside us for so many years, but you haven't found him! What are you doing every day!"

Minister Li stared straight at Lao Luo, as if Lao Luo had caused the evil.For many years before liberation, Lao Luo had always been the direct subordinate of Minister Li, and was deeply trusted and reused by him.Lao Luo served as the director of the Second Bureau, and he was also named by Minister Li himself.Minister Li has always believed that since the establishment of the party's intelligence system, the foreign intelligence work has been relatively weak, so he chose Lao Luo to be in charge of this work.

But today, it can almost be said that without this layer of trust for many years, Lao Luo might not be able to bear it. [

Minister Li turned to Du Ziyuan, and his tone was much gentler, "Du Ziyuan, do you think that the assassination of Ruan Qibo in Jinlan Bay is directly related to the 'water hyacinth' that broke into our interior?"

Du Ziyuan said calmly: "Yes. And it's a relationship of internal and external collusion and cooperation."

Minister Li stared at him without speaking.

Du Ziyuan plucked up his courage and continued: "The Ruan Qibo incident, the destruction of the Mei organization, and the leak of my whereabouts all show that the enemy is colluding with each other inside and outside, and is trying to blame us for the assassination of Ruan Qibo. The entire plan of the enemy The settings are so precise that they are almost impeccable. The purpose is to sabotage the Sino-Soviet negotiations."

"You said 'almost', you mean the left, what did you get?" Minister Li stared straight into his eyes.

"Yes. From the fact that the Taiwan Intelligence Agency is trying its best to eliminate her, and the US Central Intelligence Agency is also involved, we judge that the left has something extremely important."

"What is it?" Minister Li asked with a frown.

"Now, I don't know yet." Du Ziyuan's voice was much lower, but it was as if a knife had been cut fiercely in his heart.As an intelligence officer, it is a terrible thing to say that you don't know in front of your superiors.

Minister Li seemed to feel the same way.His deep eyes were like a star in the darkness, fixed on Du Ziyuan's pale face, not moving for a long time.

Du Ziyuan understood that this was the last chance.

Minister Li's office was very quiet at this moment.Both Lao Luo and Du Ziyuan sat motionless at the table, watching Minister Li quietly.

Minister Li pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "Your next step."

Hearing Minister Li's words, Du Ziyuan felt that the last chance had finally come.He looked at Lao Luo cautiously.He saw Lao Luo nodded to him very slightly.So he turned to Minister Li and said, "We have some judgments about 'water hyacinth', so we want to check the files of the Ministry."

"What else?" The minister stared at him.

"We also hope to learn about some recent domestic special circumstances, especially the more unusual ones." [

Minister Li nodded to them, "Okay, I understand. You go back first. Whether your request can be realized, we will know tomorrow."

Du Ziyuan followed Lao Luo and left the minister's office.Their hearts are heavy.Without special measures, they can hardly find the 'water hyacinth'.

The next morning, Du Ziyuan arrived at the ministry very early.But Minister Ma of the Organization Department of the Party Committee of the Central Investigation Department was already waiting outside his office earlier than him.

With a knowing and mysterious smile on Minister Ma's dark face, he said, "Old Du, what did you think of to get the minister to allow you to check the files? And let me have an interview with you earlier."

Du Ziyuan hurriedly opened the door and said, "Old Ma, old Ma, please come in, sit down, sit down. Oh, you just need to make a phone call, why do you have to make this trip?"

Minister Ma refused to let go, and continued to ask: "Say it, I want to ask you something."

Du Ziyuan looked at Minister Ma standing in front of him, his face gradually became serious, and his eyes became more serious.

Du Ziyuan said in a low voice: "Old Ma, to be honest, the situation I encountered is not so serious, but extremely serious!" He nodded and added, "Old Ma, let me tell you, the minister almost died. Slapped the table on Lao Luo!"

Minister Ma suddenly put away his smile, and his face became serious.He knew the seriousness of the minister's slap on the table.

He said softly: "Old Du, I understand, you don't need to say any more. This is how I arranged for you to check the files. I will prepare a separate office for you, and someone will send you files every day .However, all files can only be viewed by you alone. I can't make any more concessions. Moreover, I want you to guarantee with party spirit that you can't tell anything about what you see." After finishing speaking, he stared at the Du Ziyuan.

Du Ziyuan said seriously: "Old Ma, thank you. I promise not to tell anything about it. Please trust me."

In this way, Du Ziyuan finally obtained the right to consult the top-secret personnel files.

Next, they sat together and carefully determined the scope of the search, mainly those who had worked in the intelligence department of the North China Bureau from [-] to [-].And it was agreed that Du Ziyuan would check it alone from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] every night.

At this moment, Du Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief.However, after he sent Minister Ma away, before he could calm down, the director, Lao Luo, walked in quietly and stood in front of him.

Lao Luo's face was serious in the calmness.

He looked at Du Ziyuan calmly, and said softly: "Ziyuan, the director of the third bureau has contacted me just now. They are going to introduce the situation to you starting this afternoon. The domestic situation is mainly special cases. .Are you going by yourself, or are you arranging for someone else to go?"

Du Ziyuan thought for a while, and said, "I want Chu Bolin and Qin Donghai to go. I'm going to start checking the files tonight, as the old horse has already said. So, I have to make some preparations."

Lao Luo nodded, "Okay, that's it, you arrange it."

However, after Lao Luo said this, he didn't intend to leave, but still stood in front of the table, pointed at the table with one finger, and lowered his head in thought.

Du Ziyuan stood opposite him, watching him silently.He guessed that Lao Luo must have something to say.

Lao Luo slowly raised his head, his eyes had become extremely severe, staring sharply at Du Ziyuan's face.He nodded.Du Ziyuan walked up to him gently.Their foreheads almost touched.

Lao Luo said almost through his teeth: "From far away, everything the Ministry can provide you is provided to you." He paused and continued: "You must find the 'water hyacinth', and you must find out who Ruan Qibo is. The cause of death! And hurry up! Let me tell you, there has been news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the negotiations between China and the Soviet Union on that major event have come to a standstill! Ziyuan, you should understand what I mean.”

Looking at Lao Luo's stern eyes, Du Ziyuan felt a chill rise from the back of his spine.

Of course he understood what Lao Luo meant. The negotiations between China and the Soviet Union must have reached the most critical moment.If there is no clear account of the Ruan Qibo incident, the negotiations will break down.The latter result, he guessed, was what Lao Luo was going to say to him.

Sure enough, Lao Luo was almost in Du Ziyuan's ear, and continued: "You have no room for failure!"

Du Ziyuan's expression became more serious.He vaguely sensed that Lao Luo's meaning was, so to speak, the meaning of Minister Li and the ministry, and even the central government.

It's like fighting a war. You rushed to the front line with your troops to complete the tasks assigned to you.You fought bloody battles, your troops suffered heavy losses, and even you were seriously injured.But the battle was lost, and the mission given to you was not completed.Then, waiting for you will be punishment of party discipline, sometimes even very severe punishment.There is no room for explanation, no room for meritorious service, and no room for pleading for another chance.

Du Ziyuan already understood at this time that what he was undertaking was a task with no way out.He has to finish.

Lao Luo stared at him intently.He could see from Du Ziyuan's eyes that he already understood what he meant, so he nodded to him again, and still said through his teeth: "The result of this matter is the same for you and me!" He nodded with his finger desktop, to accentuate his tone.After that, he quietly walked out of the office.

Du Ziyuan stood in front of the table without moving for a long time.At this moment, he felt more and more clearly the pressure on his shoulders.Either he completes the task, or he is crushed into powder by the task, and he is doomed.There is no third case.

From this day on, Du Ziyuan spent three consecutive nights sitting in the office provided to him by Minister Ma and looking at the files.This is a heavily guarded office with armed guards outside the door.Behind the staff who sent him the files, there were also armed guards following him.

Du Ziyuan looked at the files for three days.He finally understood why Minister Ma cared so much about and protected these files so closely.These are top secret files!Du Ziyuan was greatly shocked by the resumes of these people.
