Double Agent Saga

Just as Zuo Shaoqing predicted last night, it was raining heavily and windy in the morning. 【】

It's summer in Nanjing at the beginning of June, and the weather is already warm.But when the rain is pouring like a curtain, and there is a gust of wind, when the clothes are half wet, it will make people feel cold.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Cheng Yunfa and Zuo Shaoqing took their respective people, first brought Liang Jicheng out of the detention center, and then drove to the old restaurant in Nanpu West Lane.Some people have been laid out around the old restaurant.In just a moment, they were drenched by the rain, shivering under the eaves under the wind and rain.

There are also people on the stairs and in the corridors of the old restaurant.Several spies escorted Liang Jicheng out of the car and walked into the gate.Zuo Shaoqing and Cheng Yunfa stood at the door of the building, watching him pass by coldly, and watched him go up the stairs.

Zuo Shaoqing and Cheng Yunfa also went up the stairs.Turning into the corridor, she saw the spies escorting Liang Jicheng, who was waiting in front of No.12 door.

At this time, Liang Jicheng still lowered his head halfway, hiding his eyes, and only aimed at a foot in front of his feet.

When Zuo Shaoqing passed in front of him, he could feel his nervousness.Something seemed wrong, Zuo Shaoqing was alert.Since he was already willing to confess, why was he still nervous?She couldn't think of a reason for a moment.

The house was in a mess.All the chests were open, and all the drawers were thrown on the floor.Some furniture was lying here and there, and books and papers were strewn about.There had obviously been a thorough search.People are arranged on all sides and in front of the room to prevent accidents.Zuo Shaoqing looked back at Cheng Yunfa and You Shaoqing, and nodded to them.

Cheng Yunfa waved out, and the spies followed Liang Jicheng into the room.

In the northwest corner of the ceiling in the room, there is a small opening for people to go up and down for maintenance.After Liang Jicheng entered the door, he took a sip for a while, and then turned his gaze to the northeast corner of the ceiling.Nothing comes out there.But he was fixed on the northeast corner of the ceiling.All of them looked up to the northeast corner of the ceiling.But there was nothing coming out there except some marks where it had been knocked on the wall.

Liang Jicheng turned his head and fixedly stared at Zuo Shaoqing.With his handcuffed hands, he pointed to a desk next to the wall and said, "Please move that desk to that corner." He pointed to the northeast corner of the room.

Zuo Shaoqing waved to the people beside him.Several agents went over to carry the table.It was a very large desk, commonly known as "sinking at both ends".It seemed out of place in this cluttered room.There are three large drawers on the upper layer of the table, and the lower table body has drawers on one side and a small cabinet on the other.The table was so heavy that four agents struggled to lift it under the corner of the wall.All of them looked up at the ceiling in the corner.

A spy is climbing up the table with his legs up.

Zuo Shaoqing subconsciously glanced at Liang Jicheng.For a moment, I saw his eyes were facing the ground.His was exactly where the table had been placed.After the table was lifted away, two rectangular marks were left on the ground.In the imprint against the wall, there seems to be something strange, as if there are thin gaps, which also form a rectangle.Zuo Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that it was a hole.

The spy standing on the table knocked on the ceiling, turned around and asked, "Hey, where did you say it was?"

All the people knocked on the ceiling as he did.

However, Zuo Shaoqing seemed to have lightning flashing over his body, and his nerves trembled.She pointed at Liang Jicheng and yelled, "Grab him!" and pounced on him.

Almost at the same time, Liang Jicheng suddenly drove away the spies around him.The spy staggered back, blocking Zuo Shaoqing.Liang Jicheng jumped up at the same time, rushed towards the rectangular mark by the wall, and jumped high.His legs curled up in the air, his feet were brought together, and he stepped heavily on the rectangular mark in an instant.Everyone in the room heard the sound of wood breaking under the floorboards.Then, a rectangular hole appeared in that imprint.Liang Jicheng's body bumped against the edge of the hole, fell into the hole, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zuo Shaoqing drove the spy who was blocking her, and rushed over, but only pulled his clothes, but didn't catch him.She watched Liang Jicheng disappear into the hole.She quickly drew out her pistol and aimed it at the hole.But she immediately restrained the idea of ​​shooting, raised her head and shouted: "Chen Sanhu, get down!"

Chen Sanhu, who was standing next to him, immediately came to his senses, bent over and sat at the entrance of the cave, stretched his legs in, looked for a place to step on, and went down into the cave.Zuo Shaoqing waved again, and another spy went down into the cave.

Zuo Shaoqing turned around and shouted: "Go downstairs and look for it! Go outside and look for it! Go! Go!"

The agents came to their senses, rushed out of the room, and ran down the stairs in disorder.

Only Cheng Yunfa, Zuo Shaoqing, and You Shaoqing were left in the room, and they stared at each other.Zuo Shaoqing rushed forward, opened the account with one palm, and looked down.

After half an hour, they finally figured out the structure of the building and the origin of the hole.

The building used to be a restaurant.That hole is actually the former flue.The flue is about two feet wide, made of bricks, and goes straight to the roof.After the restaurant was converted into housing, the flue upstairs was removed.But the flue downstairs was not demolished because it supported the beams.The flue leads directly to the big stove downstairs, and the big stove is next to the sewer, which has been converted into a passage for escape or concealment.

Chen Sanhu walked along this passage, made several turns, and crawled through a long section of the sewer.When he was covered in mud and finally got out of the sewer well, it was raining heavily outside, washing him.He stood at the mouth of the well and looked around. There was no one around, and naturally no one saw Liang Jicheng who got out from here.And the rain washed away all the traces on the ground.He had to go back to the old restaurant.

But Zuo Shaoqing and the others still had a little gain.When two more spies drilled into the hole to search, they found a radio station in a groove in the wall.

Zuo Shaoqing was furious, but he was speechless.She was played by this Liang Jicheng, and played badly.An hour later, they left the old restaurant with people.

Back at the bureau headquarters, the work meeting of the second division will be held immediately.The report on this morning's action was completed in only 10 minutes, followed by silence.There was a long silence.

In Ye Gongjin's heart, she was extremely angry.A communist, wearing handcuffs, escaped easily in front of so many people.It's just a bunch of idiots, a bunch of idiots!He agreed to take Liang Jicheng to the scene for identification.But this is Zuo Shaoqing's suggestion!This especially angered him.

Ye Gongjin was already thinking about how he should deal with Zuo Shaoqing.The review of Zuo Shaoqing has lasted for a long time, and it is time to end.

Ye Gongjin looked back in her heart.On March 26, You Shaoqing escaped from Tiaoshan and returned to the headquarters of the bureau.From this day on, both young ministers were placed under house arrest for censorship.At the end of April, the two Shaoqing regained their freedom of movement.Counting from this day, the undercover investigation of Zuo Shaoqing has lasted for more than a month and a half.He was thinking, maybe now he can take this opportunity to end this matter.

There was silence in the conference room.The officers present all sensed that Ye Gongjin was about to make an important decision, and lowered their eyes uneasily.

Zuo Shaoqing also felt this.Everything could end today.Her heart was icy cold, her blood seemed to have frozen, and her clothes were still half wet.She was cold from the inside to the outside, and her face was even more blue in the white.She could only grit her teeth and persist in despair.For her, the silence at this time was like a punishment.

Ye Gongjin finally spoke.He said softly, "Young Master Zuo." He paused for a long time before continuing, "Please go back to the office first. I will send someone to call you if necessary."

The officers were terrified, staring at Ye Gongjin uneasily, and stealing eyes at Zuo Shaoqing.

At this time, Zuo Shaoqing was really cold from head to toe.it's all over.She stood up slowly, looked at Ye Gongjin, nodded and said, "Yes." Then she left her seat and walked towards the door.

Liu Qiuyue, who was sitting beside her, also stood up in horror.She saluted Ye Gongjin, then turned and walked towards the door.She was able to attend the meeting only because she was Zuo Shaoqing's assistant.If Zuo Shaoqing left, she would not be eligible to attend the meeting.

Zuo Shaoqing and Liu Qiuyue followed each other back to the office.Zuo Shaoqing sat down heavily at the table.Liu Qiuyue stood by the wall, staring at her uneasily.She felt vaguely in her heart that her own path had almost come to an end.

It's still raining outside.Dark clouds were like ink, pressing down on their hearts.

If it was the first crisis that she was under house arrest in Xufu Lane under scrutiny, then today will be another crisis she faces, and it may even be a bigger crisis.Maybe she really should have retreated long ago as Zhang Bowei said.Zuo Shaoqing was already thinking about what she would do next.persist in?wait?Fight back?escape?What is the best policy?For a moment she hesitated.

There was a light knock on the door outside.At such a moment, the knock on the door is like a ghost coming to announce the funeral.Then two officers opened the door and entered.They stood stiffly and restlessly at the door, looking at Zuo Shaoqing.

Zuo Shaoqing recognized that they were all He Junjie's subordinates.She asked, "What's the matter?"

An officer said: "I'm sorry, Junior Commander, we... we were ordered... to come here..."

Zuo Shaoqing understood that they came to detain her.She has no choice now.She pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down. Qiuyue, pour them a glass of water."

Liu Qiuyue poured two glasses of water and placed them in front of them.Still retreating to the wall, he stood quietly.

When a person is really in a desperate situation and has no choice, he no longer hesitates, but calms down.At this time, she has only one way to go, that is: persist and follow the trend.

Zuo Shaoqing looked at Liu Qiuyue calmly, and pointed to the hanger behind him.Her gun hung on the hanger.Liu Qiuyue looked at her softly and understood what she meant.Then she walked over, took off her saber, and put it on the coffee table in front of the two officers.

The leading officer was more nervous than Zuo Shaoqing.He stood up, pointed his pistol forward, and said, "Young team leader, in the order...no...no..."

Zuo Shaoqing motioned him to sit down, but turned his face away.At this moment, her eyes were as cold as glaciers.

The only comfort in her heart is that no matter what happens to her, Comrade "Locust Tree" will not be harmed.It's just... Damn it, it's just that after Gao Maolin was arrested, his connection with "Locust tree" has been cut off.In Nanjing, except for her, no one knew the true identity of "Song Shu", and no one could contact him.But right now, what the central government needs most is the strategic intelligence provided by Comrade "Huaishu".This is her greatest hatred.

In the meeting room of the second division, there was still a fearful silence.

Ye Gongjin finally said: "Someone should be responsible for what happened today. I want to hear everyone's opinions on how to deal with Young Master Zuo. You can say anything."

No one dared to speak.Even Cheng Yunfa, who regarded Zuo Shaoqing as a thorn in his side, didn't dare to speak first.

At this time, You Shaoqing stood up silently.She was obviously also a little surprised by the situation at this time.She said calmly: "Director, I should avoid discussing this matter." After saluting, she turned and left the conference room.

Ye Gongjin didn't stop her.Young Master You's actions are reasonable for her.He said, "Minggui, you go ahead and talk."

Zhao Minggui sat at the table with his shoulders straight.His director, and the officers present, lowered their eyes.He paused for a while before he said: "What happened this morning, I think, was an accident. We have all experienced how cunning Communists are. People in our profession are bound to encounter accidents."

Cheng Yunfa, who was sitting opposite him, was already blushing.Zhao Minggui's words already hinted at the fact that he picked up the wounded not long ago.If it was entangled, it would not be an accident.He narrowed his eyes and said, "Old Zhao, I don't think what happened to Young Master Zuo was accidental or not, but the suspicion of the Communist Party on her body. This is enough."

Zhao Minggui was very calm, "I admit that there are suspicions on her body, since the day You Shao came back. I was just thinking that she was the one who found the wounded in Bo'ai Hospital, and she was the one who found the secret contact station of the Communist Party in Songpu. Monitor Liang Fu Cheng, and she was the one who captured Liang Jicheng. How should we understand these situations?"

Cheng Yunfa was very unconvinced, "We were the ones who monitored Liang Fucheng first."

Zhao Minggui said: "However, Lao Cheng, the purpose of monitoring Liang Fucheng in the first group and the second group is different. They are two different things."

"What's the difference?" Cheng Yunfa continued to argue.

"Old Cheng, you monitor Liang Fucheng, and your target is Zuo Shao. Zuo Shao monitors Liang Fucheng, and your target is the Communists."

"You mean, we shouldn't monitor Zuo Shao?"

"No. Among us here today, who has not been subject to internal surveillance and investigation? Zuo Shao has watched me, I know. But I can understand. Director, since Zuo Shao came to the second office, how much has he done? Achievements? Quite a few, right? I hope I have one or two suspects of the Communist Party under my command.”

Ye Gongjin was heartbroken and had to nod secretly to Zhao Minggui's statement.

In fact, Ye Gongjin had basically made up her mind on how to deal with Zuo Shaoqing.But the key point for him to consider is whether all the solutions are beneficial to him.There are three main approaches he considers.

One is dismissal on the spot.Put Zuo Shaoqing in the archives room, supervised by Qian Yuhong.

The second is to transfer to idle positions.There are so many units in the Bureau of Secrecy, and some of them are idle jobs that are equivalent to going to jail.

The third is confinement in C.C is the army prison.According to the tradition of the Bureau of Secrets, officers who make mistakes can be sent to the army prison for confinement, but this confinement is indefinite.

At present, in the army prison, at least two officers with the rank of major general of the Bureau of Secrets are being held in confinement for a long time, and it has been more than two years.Unless there is a major personnel change in the Bureau of Secrecy, they will never have a bright future.The convenience of this method is that it does not require any legal procedures.

Ye Gongjin secretly preferred this method of handling, which was also the safest.This was the first thought that popped up after he heard the report in the morning.In his heart, this was already his decision.
