Xiao Zhanfeng knew the meaning of the leader's words, stood at attention and said: "Serve the Senate and the people!"
"Okay, now that you have arrived in Leizhou, you will be one of the main people in charge here. I happen to have a difficult matter that I am going to leave to you to handle." Yan Maoda said.
Xiao Zhanfeng thought to himself that the first test had already come. He said calmly: "Please give me the chief's instructions."
"Come with me."
Yan Maoda got up and led him through a door, twists and turns in the corridor, passed through several sentry doors, and finally came to a small house with guards on guard.
There were only simple tables, chairs and cabinets in the hut. Xiao Zhanfeng was familiar with the Australian way of doing things. When he saw this layout, he knew that this was the place where he wanted to interrogate important criminals.
Yan Maoda opened a door inside, and there was another guard inside, guarding the long corridor. On both sides of the corridor were seven or eight locked doors covered with iron sheets. Obviously, this was a private prison set up by the Australians.
When Xiao Zhanfeng was in Leizhou, he only knew that the Australians had taken over all the former Master Zhu's properties, and had taken control of the original Hai Yi Tang, and were building large-scale construction projects on Hai'an Street. He did not expect that it would secretly have such a comprehensive scale.
It seems that the Leizhou Sugar Industry Association on Hai'an Street is the seat of the Senate's government in Leizhou.
Yan Maoda nodded to the guard, led Xiao Zhanfeng to a door, and motioned for him to open the peep window on the door and look inside.
The viewing window is made of thick glass, but the size is very small - currently they cannot make one-way glass with very thin coating, so they can only reduce the size. In order to ensure safety, the thickness is also made larger.
The cell was small, but not dark and damp. The skylight on the roof let in bright light. You can see the environment clearly. There is a woman sitting in the room, embroidering on her embroidery cloth with her head lowered.
Although her head was lowered and her true face could not be seen clearly, she could tell that she was not very old. She was only twenty-seven or twenty-seven years old. She had a fair complexion and a plump body. She was at least a woman from a middle-class family.
"This is--"
Yan Maoda didn't speak. He took him back to the interrogation room.
"Her name is Qiu Han." Yan Maoda took out a thin file from the cabinet and placed it on the table in front of him. "The matter is very simple. Qiu Han is the elder's life secretary - he used to be..."
Xiao Zhanfeng nodded, he knew the same person - although not as familiar as Chen Tianxiong. I also know what a life secretary is.
"Before Qiu Han became the elder's life secretary, she was Zhu An, also known as Master Zhu's concubine. This was already explained in the materials she submitted when she became the elder's life secretary."
"However, we discovered during last year's political trial that Qiu Han was not only Zhu An's concubine, but she was also the sister of Gu Dachun, the pirate who was killed by us."
Xiao Zhanfeng was a little confused. This matter has nothing to do with the Civil Affairs Commission or the Foreign Intelligence Service. It falls under the jurisdiction of the General Administration of Political Security. I don’t know why I wanted to tell him specifically.
"After being exposed, Qiu Han confessed that she was afraid and did not tell the truth. She also said that when she defected to the elders, she did have the intention to avenge Zhu An and her brother, but as time went by, she felt that the elders were kind to her. Shen, I can never do this again. I just want to serve the elders well. Other than that, I have no other feelings. There is no collusion with outsiders. We conducted physical analysis and polygraph detection on her confession, and then conducted After several months of external investigation, I think she is indeed telling the truth."
After Yan Maoda finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhanfeng meaningfully and continued: "Now that the matter has been investigated clearly, specific conclusions and disposal opinions must be given. The elder proposed: He hopes to release Qiu Han and return to work with him. "
A piece of formal paper was pulled out from the file - Xiao Zhanfeng recognized it as the "Political Review Conclusion and Disposal Opinion Form".
The conclusion column of the political review has been filled in: "After investigation: it is true that the concealment of some personal family relationships has not harmed the Senate and the people." The column of disposal opinions below is still blank.
"Now I authorize you to fill in the disposal opinions."
Xiao Zhanfeng was surprised: "Chief, this is against organizational procedures. I don't have the power..."
"This is the special authorization I give you as a veteran and deputy director of Leizhou Station." Yan Maoda said seriously, "You know I have this power."
The veteran station chief of each foreign station actually plays the role of the top political security officer in the local area.
"You now have half an hour to study these materials," Yan Maoda looked at his watch, "I will be back in half an hour, and the disposal opinions you fill out will be my decision."
Xiao Zhanfeng was the only one left in the interrogation room. He didn't expect that this test would be so subtle and involve an elder. He carefully studied the few materials. No matter how he looked at it, Qiu Han had no stain except for concealing the fact that she was Gu Dachun's sister.
From a cautious point of view, it is not appropriate for someone like Qiu Han, who has an unclear history and once concealed his kinship, to return to the elders. But thinking about it from another perspective, Qiu Han has been the elder's life secretary for more than a year, and he has had countless opportunities to take action.
He picked up the dip pen and wrote on the disposal opinion: "Return to the original unit for controlled use." Then he signed his name and date below.
He blotted the ink with absorbent paper and handed it to Yan Maoda who returned to the interrogation room. Yan Maoda looked at it silently and put in the file. He pulled the bell rope. The guards outside were called.
"Fill out a letter of decision to lift the review on the 11th and send it over to me for signature."
Quan Quan was the first group from the Operation Overlord task force to return to Lingao. Originally, he was supposed to return to Kaohsiung to continue to provide intelligence and internal security support for Operation Engine, but an emergency call was sent from the "center" asking him to return to Lingao immediately to report on his work.
"It was probably the arms factory on Gulangyu Island that attracted their attention." Jiang Shan thought. He had submitted the first batch of reports to the Intelligence Bureau in Xiamen, including photos, surveying and mapping data, and prisoners' confessions.
The transport ship he was on had just entered the port, and Chang Jiangshan of the Foreign Intelligence Service was already waiting for him in person in an office in the customs building. Apparently, he was a little restless.
"It's been a hard journey along the way. I should let you rest first, but this discovery is really important." Jiang Shan said straight to the point, "This is based on the photos and photos you sent before. The surveying and mapping data have been analyzed. It seems that the situation is more urgent than we imagined."
Jiang Shan took out a lacquered bag from the official box and handed it to him, "You study it and compile a report immediately. Tomorrow morning the executive committee will hold a secret meeting, and some heads of relevant departments will attend. .”
"I understand this, and I will prepare the materials tonight." Jiang Shan said, "Later, I made some new discoveries on Gulangyu Island and Xiamen Island."
"Okay. You do it together. This matter must be kept absolutely confidential. The professional veterans you consult can only be limited to a few veterans we have listed."
"Yes, I understand." Xuancheng replied.
"Then you go home and tidy up first. I will send someone to pick you up in two hours. You will stay in the first guest house of the general office tonight to prepare materials." Jiang Shan said.
Early the next morning, the meeting will be held in the conference room of the Executive Committee Courtyard. Not many people attended the meeting: this was an enlarged meeting of the Executive Committee. In addition to the members of the Executive Committee, only the Chief of General Staff, Chief of Naval Command, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, and First Deputy Director of the General Political Security Bureau attended the meeting. Basically they are the heads of decision-making and violent institutions.
Xu Xu had been preparing report materials last night and was busy until about two o'clock in the morning before finishing the ppt. In order to maintain confidentiality, he made all the materials himself.
Ten minutes early, Xu Xu followed Jiang Shan into the conference room. This was his first time in the conference room of the Executive Committee Courtyard. At this time, Li Quan was wearing a straight navy uniform - the 87-style naval officer spring and autumn uniform he wore when he served in the plan, with the logo changed. Because this uniform is made of woolen material, it is allowed to be used as a formal dress, specially worn on more important occasions - the uniform of the Senate Navy is really too shabby.
He was carrying a briefcase with a secret grade in his hand, which was equipped with a security rope tied to his wrist.
Participants arrived one after another and the meeting started on time.
Desi, who presided over the meeting, first made a simple opening statement, and then signaled Jiang Shan to take over.
Jiang Shan stood up. He was wearing a beautiful hunting jacket - from the material to the workmanship, you could tell it was a product of another time and space. It was particularly eye-catching among the cotton casual jackets worn by most people in the office.
"Comrades. During the recent Operation Overlord, our bureau dispatched a naval captain to accompany the troops to provide intelligence support and collect intelligence on the spot. He made some important discoveries in Xiamen while performing his mission. According to what we have According to the analysis of materials and intelligence, the nature of this matter may be very serious, and we believe that it may also involve the incident with Ship A, so it is necessary to report to the Executive Committee and the Senate, and request the Executive Committee to make a decision on the next step of the work. Specific instructions - let him explain to you now."
Xu Xu stood up and walked onto the podium in a few steps. He first gave everyone a military salute, and then took out the items from the bag, but he did not read them because he was already familiar with the contents. Then the laptop and projector were turned on.
The meeting used a projector to play the ppt. The first thing displayed on the screen were several digital photos of Zhongzuo Sojo after the war, and permission began to explain.
