Double Agent Saga

To be precise, Ye Gongjin's concerns were not excessive, and there were signs. 【】It's just what he is worried about, it's too early, it hasn't evolved to the point of drastic change.

On this day, Wang Zhenqing, the commander of the No. 90 Seventh Division, didn't have any unreasonable thoughts.He just came to visit his old officer.It is also impossible for him to have the slightest idea of ​​plotting against his old chief Hou Lianhai.

In August last year, the original Nanjing "Capital Guard Division" directly under the Central Military Commission changed its organizational system and was reorganized into the No.40 Fifth Army No.90 Seventh Division.The organizational system has changed, but the security tasks undertaken have not changed, so it is extremely important.This necessitated the appointment of a new division commander.The top leaders of all parties are looking for the chairman of the Generalissimo Jiang.Mr. Jiang turned to his good friend Wang Zhenqing.It was precisely because of this relationship that Generalissimo Jiang first had an interview with Wang Zhenqing.Unexpectedly, after a discussion, he was very satisfied, so it was decided that Wang Zhenqing would be the commander of the 97th Division.Other candidates will no longer be interviewed.

At that time, there were already some nervous changes, whether it was at the top of the national government or within the army. Wang Zhenqing, the commander of the 97th Division, has become the focus of some people's secret prying eyes, but he doesn't know it.

Therefore, when Wang Zhenqing went to Xufu Lane to visit his old chief, he was loyal and never dissatisfied with the chairman.

Wang Zhenqing arrived very early, the morning mist had not cleared, and there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the street.

Wang Zhenqing's car stopped at the gate of Xufu Lane.His adjutant went to the guard room to negotiate with the document signed by Zuo Shaoqing.In just a moment, consent is obtained.The iron gate opened, and Wang Zhenqing's car slowly drove into the gate.

Hou Lianhai lived in a big house that Zuo Shaoqing specially chose for him, and it was rebuilt from the original office.The rooms are spacious and bright.All kinds of furniture are also complete, and the living conditions are quite good.

When Wang Zhenqing came in, Hou Lianhai was holding a Persian cat and sitting on the sofa with a newspaper.Wang Zhenqing saluted him and said, "Old Sir, Zhenqing has come to greet you."

Hou Lianhai's hair was gray and cut very short.There is a short beard on his lips, which is also grizzled.His face was thin, with clear and resolute lines, and he still looked like a soldier.He was wearing a white cotton shirt and loose Verdin trousers, and he had a suave style.He put down the newspaper, stood up and said, "Zhenqing is here, come, come, sit down and talk."

The two shook hands and sat down on the sofa.The guards came over to make tea for them, then walked out the door quietly and closed the door softly.

Wang Zhenqing opened his mouth first, and said: "The old chief is in good health."

Hou Lianhai nodded and spoke in a loud voice, "For me, I can still eat two bowls of rice and a few pieces of braised pork. It's good to practice Tai Chi every morning and take a walk in the yard at night."

"Old sir, I don't understand, how did you get to this point?" Wang Zhenqing had doubts on his face.

Hou Lianhai laughed haha, but did not answer directly.He stroked the cat in his arms, and said in a leisurely and elegant tone, "Brother, you and I are a cat, okay? One eye is red and the other is blue, so you can tell what is fire and what is water. You Could it be that it's not as good as my cat?" After speaking, he laughed.

Hearing what he said, Wang Zhenqing guessed that he was worried that there were bugs in the house.Then he said: "The old officer is really good at joking, it's just a cat, do you have to distinguish it so clearly?"

"If it can't distinguish clearly, how can it survive?" Hou Lianhai's eyes fixed on Wang Zhenqing's face.

"With your old officer holding it every day, there is nothing to worry about it." Wang Zhenqing said casually.

Hou Lianhai was very happy and laughed again.Then he pointed to his own head and said, "I'm old too, and my mind is dull. When I do things, I care about one thing and lose another. I'm afraid I can't take care of it."

Only then did Wang Zhenqing hear his subtext, and was a little terrified for a moment, reluctantly said: "The old officer is hale and hearty, with sharp ears and eyes, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Hou Lianhai laughed again, "Thanks for the compliment, you still have some confidence in me. But when people get older, they may become confused. This is the general trend, don't you understand?"

Wang Zhenqing felt a little trembling, and said, "Isn't that too pessimistic, old sir?"

Hou Lianhai picked up the cat and gave it to him, "Brother, this cat is fine. But you have to eat fish for every meal, and you have to fry it, otherwise you won't eat it. It's a lot of trouble. Speaking of it, the world's affairs, Nothing is easy. Me, if I’m not careful, it might step into the brazier, and that’s not bad. Therefore, there should be a careful person to take care of it, so that it can live under the blue sky.”

Having said that, Wang Zhenqing was already terrified.He recognized the old officer's voice, the brazier was referring to Lan Tian as the Republic of China.The old chief doesn't believe that the chairman can take good care of this "cat".Wang Zhenqing has already noticed it in his heart.In that case, this "cat" is likely to be owned.That is to say, unless it is raised by another person.This idea is outrageous!Wang Zhenqing understood these words, but didn't know how to answer them properly.

Hou Lianhai smiled at him again, and continued: "Last year, I went to various places and chatted with some friends. Hey, I'm old, and I have to change if I need to change."

There was a moment of silence in the room for a long time.

Hou Lianhai asked softly, "brother, will you take care of this cat for me?"

Wang Zhenqing was already sweating on his forehead, he shrank back and said in a low voice, "I can't, I can't."

Hou Lianhai picked up his cat and looked at him sadly, "Brother, who do you think I should entrust it to?"

Wang Zhenqing was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer him, and did not dare to answer.

The conversation between the two was intermittent, each thinking and exploring in their hearts.

That night, in the dead of night, Zuo Shaoqing sat alone in the office, listening to the recording quietly.She listened to it many times, and gradually realized some of the meaning of the dialogue between the two parties.She couldn't help becoming tense, as if she was sitting on an electric chair, and electric currents passed through her body from time to time, making her a little panicky.

Such a tape was handed in, and she was not sure what the consequences would be, she was really not sure.On the other hand, she also remembered Mace's words.Metz knew that she would definitely monitor Hou Lianhai, but hoped that she would make some reservations.She is not afraid of Mace, but the power behind Mace is very strong, she knows this.So, any reservations about this recording?Is it good or bad?She was still a little unsure.

After much consideration, she decided to make some reservations.After all, Wang Zhenqing is her god-brother.She copied a tape, and according to her own understanding, erased a few words that she thought were more critical.

The next day, when Zuo Shaoqing went to work, he handed over the copied tape to Ye Gongjin.

Ye Gongjin received the tape and immediately asked He Junjie to bring a tape recorder.The two of them, as well as Zhao Minggui, sat together and listened to the recording several times.

Ye Gongjin turned off the tape recorder and said in a low voice, "These two people are playing charades, do you understand what it means?"

He Junjie said cautiously: "It sounds like Hou Lianhai is alluding to something."

Ye Gongjin gritted her teeth, her eyes became sharper, and said in a low voice, "This Hou Lianhai has evil intentions!"

As he spoke, he picked up the phone from the table and called Lao Pan, the chief secretary of the Bureau Headquarters, telling him that the recording of the conversation between Hou Lianhai and Wang Zhenqing had been obtained, and asked him if he wanted to listen.

Old Pan, that is, Pan Qiwu, the chief secretary of the Bureau of Secrecy Bureau.Although there are two deputy directors above him, he is the real second in command besides Director Mao.He immediately said: "Gongjin, let me say something first, this matter must not be spread. I will send someone to pick it up immediately." Then he hung up the phone.

Ye Gongjin put down the phone, turned her head to the two people in front of her, and said softly: "This matter is not allowed to be brought up until we are here. I have already told her about Zuo Shao. You should also be careful."

Hearing this, both He Junjie and Zhao Minggui felt chills running down their spines.

He Junjie felt chills on his back, which lasted until night.He sat in a small cafe and met Mace.

Mace smiled, but stared straight at him, "Mr. He, can you make a copy of this recording?"

He Junjie shook his head, "Mr. Metz, this is absolutely impossible. I just listened to it once, and the recording was sent away. Ye Gongjin warned me not to mention this matter again. I have no access to this recording at all. .”

There was a sneer on Mace's face, "Mr. He, for your own sake, can you think of a way?"

He Junjie looked at him in fear, "In that case, I will definitely be skeptical. Mr. Metz, maybe you can go to Zuo Shaoqing, she handled the recording."

Mace stared at him coldly, but he was judging the possibility of Zuo Shaoqing in his heart.He said: "I will definitely get that recording. You let me down, Mr. He."

Also on this night, Zuo Shaoqing also felt chills on his back, like wind and rain, and the coldness penetrated into his heart.The danger of some things is really obvious at a glance.The few words that Ye Gongjin leaked made her clear of her danger.

She was sitting in the "revolving door" private room, looking at Zhang Bowei who was opposite him uneasily.She was still very hesitant to take out the tape.She knew it was a huge risk.Once this tape falls into the hands of outsiders, her identity will be exposed immediately, and she will definitely be suspicious.Because, absolutely the second person handled the original tape.

But in the end, she took out the tape from her bag.Looking at the sealed tape, she felt uneasy.She looked at Zhang Bowei heavily, and said in a low voice, "Old Zhang, please be careful with this thing. I have sealed the tape. During the transfer process, no one should unpack it. I don't know how you communicate with your superiors. How things are sent. I only have one sentence, this thing, do everything possible, send it to the top."

Zhang Bowei already knew from her expression that this matter was extremely serious.He took it carefully, and whispered: "Don't worry, I will hand it over carefully and send it up as much as possible."

In the middle of the night, Zhang Bowei quietly left the "revolving door".He rushed to Jingye Bank immediately.

Zhang Bowei entered Du Ziyuan's secret room.When facing Du Ziyuan, just like Zuo Shaoqing, he was terrified.He briefly introduced the relevant situation of this tape.Du Ziyuan's face also became serious.Although he didn't know the contents of the tape, it was clear at a glance that this matter was related to the safety of "Fishbone" and Zhang Bowei.

He and Zhang Bo were head to head, discussing carefully, deliberating over and over again, and drafted a confidential telegram to the Intelligence Department of the North China Bureau.Du Ziyuan found a radio operator and asked him to send it immediately.

It was past two o'clock in the morning, and the city of Nanjing was already under martial law.Because Zhang Bo couldn't leave, he sat in Du Ziyuan's secret room, drank tea with him, and waited for dawn before leaving.

Unexpectedly, two hours later, Du Ziyuan received a call back from the intelligence department of the North China Bureau, to the effect: the electronic mail has been received.The fishbone has crossed the line and cannot be done again.The said items are kept carefully, and I will send someone to retrieve them.Be careful.

The telegram was urgently translated by a translator.It was almost dawn when Du Ziyuan and Zhang Bowei received the telegram.They were electrified, all very surprised and nervous.

Du Ziyuan said in a low voice: "Old Zhang, the fishbone has a great responsibility, and it really shouldn't be done. You arrange a retreat route for him, and if something happens, retreat immediately."

Zhang Bowei thought about it, and he had no choice but to do so.

Three days later, the person mentioned in the secret telegram came to Nanjing secretly.

According to the agreement, Du Ziyuan quietly came to a hotel in the suburbs of Nanjing to meet the visitor.

The hotel is located in a quiet side street.There are not many pedestrians and vendors on the street.When Du Ziyuan walked into the hotel, he dusted the dirt off his body three times.He noticed that someone beside him was staring at him vigilantly.

Du Ziyuan found room 112 along the corridor.There was only one young man in the room.They exchanged code words.The young man had a smile on his face, but his eyes were very alert.He asked Du Ziyuan to sit down at the table, but he backed away and looked out.After a while, he stretched out his hand and asked Du Ziyuan to follow him.

They went up to the third floor and stopped in front of a door.The young man knocked on the door lightly, then opened the door, asked Du Ziyuan to come in, and then closed the door gently.

Du Ziyuan entered the room, and when he saw it, he couldn't help being secretly surprised.The person who came was actually a leader of the intelligence department of the North China Bureau, in charge of important and top-secret intelligence work.Du Ziyuan met him a few times in Dingxiang County, Shanxi Province.He knew that this leader would never easily come to the enemy-occupied area.

In Du Ziyuan's impression, this leader is approachable and soft-spoken.But when he saw Du Ziyuan today, he looked serious.He shook hands with Du Ziyuan, motioned him to sit down, and immediately started talking about work.

"Comrade Ziyuan, I am following the instructions of the Social Department of the Central Committee to talk to you." His face has become serious at this time, "Comrade Huaishu's traffic arrest is your serious dereliction of duty!"

Du Ziyuan was dumbfounded and panicked.He really wanted to explain, but when he saw the leader's face, he dismissed the idea.He understood that this matter was too serious.What's more, he still doesn't know the reason for Gao Maolin's arrest.He only knew that "Fishbone" was investigating the matter.However, no result is the most frightening thing.

The leader stared at him sternly, and continued: "If this kind of thing happens again, you will be severely punished by party discipline."

Du Ziyuan gritted his teeth, and his forehead was already sweating.

The leader continued: "Comrade Huaishu's traffic must be resolved quickly. There are two requirements, one must be fast, and the other must be cautious. This traffic must be absolutely reliable!"

Du Ziyuan was panicked.This is the hardest thing for him.It is too difficult to place people in the Ministry of Defense.He has no suitable candidates at hand.To add to the difficulty, the person must also be absolutely reliable.Du Ziyuan was really in a dilemma.

The leader seemed to be thinking about it, and finally took a breath, "I know you are in trouble. But the situation is waiting for no one. The situation in the civil war is about to change. Now is the most critical time. You will go to hell. We must also do this work well to protect the safety of Comrade Huaishu! Do you understand?"

Du Ziyuan nodded again and again, "I understand, I promise to do this job well, and I guarantee it with party spirit!"

The leader looked at him silently, as if to confirm whether Du Ziyuan could really complete the job.After a while, he said again: "Did you bring that tape?"

Du Ziyuan hurriedly took out the tape from his purse, handed it to the leader, and gave a brief introduction.

The leader checked the cover carefully, and said softly, "Whose hands did this thing go through?"

Du Ziyuan said: "It was the fishbone who handled it, and his contact person, and then me."

"Has anyone heard of it?" The leader held the tape and stared at Du Ziyuan's face.

"Only the fishbone has heard of it. This cover is also sealed by the fishbone." Du Ziyuan replied cautiously.

"This matter must never be spread outside the public. Only the three of you know. Let me tell you, I was ordered to send this thing directly to the Central Ministry of Social Affairs. This matter is of great importance."

Du Ziyuan was speechless.He only knows that this matter is of great importance and responsibility, and he must be extremely cautious, extremely cautious.His mood at this moment was as heavy as a block of iron.

Also at this time, Zuo Shaoqing's mood was as heavy as a block of iron.After she handed the tape to Ye Gongjin, she waited restlessly for a few days.Seeing that there was no movement, he calmed down a little.

The recording of the conversation between Hou Lianhai and Wang Zhenqing has been brought up again for a long time.This matter seemed to have disappeared like a stone falling into the water, causing a little ripple.However, it didn't end there.This matter has been fermenting secretly, and finally caused a catastrophe, causing many people to lose their lives.

Zuo Shaoqing had just calmed down, and within two days, a report was suddenly sent from below, saying that a person had come to Liang Fucheng's family, and then left in a hurry after a few minutes.This report made her heart that had just calmed down become uneasy again.

The officials are wise and have already guessed that this person is Liang Jicheng.However, the appearance of this Liang Jicheng caused Zuo Shaoqing to stumble and was almost dismissed.
