Double Agent Saga

Zuo Shaoqing felt sad because of these things.

Waking up in the morning, she noticed that her sister had been looking at her with a strange look.She sensed doubts, even doubts, in her younger sister's heart. She seemed to be asking, can you, the CCP, do it?How could this situation be caused?

After breakfast, Zuo Shaoqing went out to buy newspapers again.This time, she mainly bought domestic newspapers.She hoped to get some clues from the domestic newspapers to find out what happened in the country.She has another idea, hoping to write a research report on it, and then send it back to China through Long Jinyun.

At about nine o'clock, Zuo Shaoqing bought a lot of newspapers and went back to Chaohai Building.

When entering the door, out of habit, she glanced into the hall.Unexpectedly, she encountered something even more unexpected in this hall.Mace, the person she had forgotten and no longer had anything to do with her, actually stood up slowly from a sofa by the window, and looked at her with strange and mocking eyes.

Zuo Shaoqing remembered that the last time she saw Metz was in the Bay Restaurant in Cam Ranh Bay, South Vietnam.At that time, Mace's eyes were stern and haughty, arrogant.But in his eyes today, there is a little humility hidden in the gentleness.This is the change in the status of both parties.At that time, if he let her die, she would have almost no chance of surviving.But today is different, it is impossible for him to hold her.

There is no doubt that Mace must have a purpose for coming here today.She understands that some things cannot be avoided.Since it was an accident, she had to figure out why the accident happened.

She walked over slowly, watching Mace.Mace was also watching her.

A faint smile appeared on Mace's face, and he said, "I reserved a room on the second floor, can you go up and sit?"

Zuo Shaoqing stared at him for a while, then nodded silently.

The room Mays booked on the second floor was a standard room with simple furnishings.He obviously didn't intend to live here.His purpose seems to be to sit here and talk with Zuo Shaoqing.In other words, it is for negotiation.

Zuo Shaoqing sat down on the sofa and asked bluntly: "Mr. Metz, how do you know that I live here?"

Metz laughed haha, "Young Master Zuo, don't let me explain this. I believe you can understand. In addition, I did see you and your sister outside the US consulate yesterday afternoon. I think , let’s sit here and say a few words, that’s the most important thing.”

Zuo Shaoqing recalled what Feng Dun said: We, Taiwan, Americans, and the British can't hide what they do.Mace also has his channels.

She nodded and said, "So, what can Mr. Mace want from me?"

Metz looked at her with a gentle expression, and said softly: "Young Master Zuo, I know when you arrived in Hong Kong and who you came with, not only your sister, but also the liaison officer Du Ziyuan sent to you, right? I don't know Du Have you ever mentioned to you, sir, that I met that girl, her name is Long Jinyun. Is that right?"

Zuo Shaoqing said calmly, "What else do you know?"

Metz said, "I also know what your mission in Hong Kong is."

Zuo Shaoqing didn't want to waste any time with him, so he said, "Since you know my mission, when are you going to hand over Li Kengyi to us?"

Mace's gaze was fixed on her face, sharp and deep.He paused for a moment before saying: "Young Master Zuo, you, or you, are really capable. I always thought that no one knew his name. You, and Mr. Du, must have done a very careful investigation."

Zuo Shaoqing said softly: "Mr. Metz, you haven't answered my question yet."

Mace clapped his hands together and leaned back on the sofa, "Well, that's the purpose of my conversation with you today. What I want to ask is, can you, or you guys, let Li Kengyi go?"

"This is impossible." Zuo Shaoqing's voice was soft but firm.

"That's exactly what I want to discuss with you." Mace stared at her intently, "Because I have a reason."

"Then, please tell me your reason, let me listen." Zuo Shaoqing stared at him calmly.

"First," Mace raised a finger, "I think you must understand that Li Kengyi has lived in the consulate for a long time. During this time, we have been talking with him. Let's put it this way, What we want to know, or what he knows, or whatever, has already been said. So there's no point in taking him back, is there?"

"Mr. Metz, you should go on to the second, if there is any." Zuo Shaoqing said calmly.

"There is indeed a second, and I hope you will think about this second seriously." Metz showed a smile on his face.

"Say it, don't make trouble anymore."

"Young Master Zuo, you are a very shrewd person. I don't know if you have noticed it. In fact, when Li Keng first arrived in Guangzhou, Du Ziyuan had already grasped his whereabouts, and even knew where he was hiding. But At the last moment, when Li Keng left his hiding place, Mr. Du did not move. I think that Mr. Du had actually let him go. To make it easier to understand, Mr. Du almost stared at He crossed the Luohu Port. Zuo Shao, why is this? Then, you and your sister arrived in Hong Kong, and your purpose is to bring him back. Zuo Shao, it’s still the same question, why is this? Can you answer me? ?”

Zuo Shaoqing felt the nerves in his head beating, clanging like taut strings.

Before leaving Nanjing, when Du Ziyuan gave her this task and asked her to bring Li Keng back, she had such doubts.At that time, this doubt was very slight, and it just flashed in her mind.But now, Metz put this doubt directly in front of her.

The other side of the problem was that she was now not sure how much of what Mace said was true.But she should be more cautious.She said quietly: "Mr. Mays, what you said may not be accurate. As far as I know, when Li Kengyi entered Hong Kong, Du Ziyuan was still in Nanjing. It is impossible for him to watch Li Kengyi enter Hong Kong."

Mace smiled and waved to her, "Young Master Zuo, please don't worry about it. What I said was just a general meaning. This means that Du Ziyuan knew that Li Kengyi had entered Hong Kong. However, he did not give the order Take action. My understanding is that Mr. Du had given up on Li Kengyi by then."

Zuo Shaoqing shook his head, "That's impossible, he has no right to give up! Li Kengyi must be punished!"

Mace's eyes widened, and the arrogant look of the past appeared on his face again.He raised his voice, "But that's the truth! Mr. Du has given up on Li Kengyi! Why are you still chasing him!"

Zuo Shaoqing said sternly: "Because this is my task, and it is also the task that Du Ziyuan entrusted to me in person!"

Mace still insisted: "He doesn't mean anything to you anymore! Doesn't he?"

Zuo Shaoqing also raised his voice, "I don't care what it means! Finding him is my mission!"

At this time, she turned a corner in her heart and looked at the problem from a different angle.She said: "Mr. Metz, now you already know what my mission is. I would like to ask, why are you still keeping Li Kengyi? According to what you said, he has already told you what he knows. He is worthless to you, isn't it?"

Mace laughed, "Young Master Zuo, Young Master Zuo, I really admire you. I knew you would say that."

In fact, Zuo Shaoqing also had a bold guess in his heart.Why did Metz say the "first" first, saying that Li Kengyi had already told everything he knew?He seemed to be saying that Li Keng was of no value to them.Well, he must have had a purpose in saying that.She guessed that this purpose was most likely "exchange".But what would he want in exchange?

Zuo Shaoqing looked at Metz as calmly as possible, and said with a smile: "Mr. Metz, we have known each other for many years and met many times. We should get to know each other better. Isn't it? Why don't you take your What do you want to say the most, say it?"

Mace looked at her quietly, with sly and probing eyes, and he seemed to be still deliberating.

Finally, he said softly: "I just remembered such a thing, I wonder if you can help me. If I remember correctly, you promised me back then that you would help me when necessary. You see, we have already met, why can't we communicate with each other and do something that is beneficial to both of us?"

Zuo Shaoqing understood that he was about to hit the nail on the head.She said, "If you speak up, I can at least consider it."

Mace nodded, "That's right, I just remembered. Last year, it was probably July or August, I don't care about the exact time. We have a plane, unfortunately, due to the weather or equipment, we lost our way. It ended up flying near Shanghai. This is a very unfortunate incident. The plane was shot down by your army's anti-aircraft artillery. This incident is very regrettable. I heard that there were two pilots on that plane One of them was killed and one was injured. Let me declare again that they did fly to the vicinity of Shanghai unintentionally and lost their way. As for your army shooting down the plane, we can fully understand. My idea is, can you , Tell your government to send back all the dead and injured pilots, and return all their personal belongings to us. If you can do this, we will be very grateful."

Mace's eyes were full of meaning, obviously hiding something.

Zuo Shaoqing looked at him calmly and said, "How would Mr. Metz express your gratitude?"
