Zuo Zhong glanced at Shen Dongxin who was pointing at his watch beside him. Knowing that it was getting late, he said goodbye: "Dai has some things to deal with. I'll leave today. I'll visit again the next day and say goodbye."
After saying that, he left in a dashing manner, quite like a knight-errant. But when he left the mountain gate, he slapped his thigh heavily: "Oops, I forgot to ask the old monk for the receipt. How can I reimburse this?"
Shen Dongxin, who almost froze to death outside the hospital, was silent for a long time. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "How does Master Benjie make you feel? How do we go to Putuo Zen Temple next?"
Zuo Zhong shook his head and said hesitantly: "Compassionate, free and easy, has many hobbies, is simple, and has a good reputation. I can't see this person clearly, so I'll ignore him for now and drive around for a while before going to Putuo Zen Temple."
This is his summary of me. In short, he is a somewhat contradictory person. However, except for the question about Nanyang, Zuo Zhong did not find any suspicious points, so the degree of suspicion is temporarily ranked third.
The two drove their car around Putuo Mountain, changed their clothes, and appeared at the gate of Putuo Zen Temple. They stated their intention as usual, but what the Zhike monk said shocked them.
"What, Master Zhanjing went to Japan? When did he leave?"
"Yes, the host was invited to give a lecture at Sensoji Temple in Tokyo and just left today."
The faces of Zuo Zhong and Shen Dongxin were a little ugly. Could it be that the spy was Zhan Jing? He heard something or felt something was wrong, so he evacuated decisively?
The bald man took this matter very seriously. If he knew that the Japanese spy had escaped under the nose of the Secret Service, he would definitely be furious, and Dai Chunfeng and Zuo Zhong would not feel good either.
"Section Chief, there should be news from Deputy Chief Gu." Shen Dongxin thought that the Intelligence Section had manpower around these suspicious persons, and maybe Zhanjing had been successfully intercepted.
Zuo Zhong was not so optimistic. Mount Putuo was so big. If Zhanjing was really intercepted, Gu Qi would not fail to send people to find them for such a big thing. Something must have happened.
He quickened his pace and walked towards the car, saying, "Let's go back and see what's going on. Lao Gu is more cautious than decisive. I hope he can make a decisive decision on the spot."
At the same time, Zuo Zhong also had another concern. The close tracking went smoothly before, but the other party left as soon as he came. Could someone have leaked the news? That would be a big problem.
The car quickly arrived at the temporary accommodation, which was already in a panic. The agents were standing in the yard. Gu Qi seemed to be preparing to lecture. When Zuo Zhong came back, he felt like seeing a savior and hurried to the car.
"Section Chief, it's not good. Zhanjing took a car to the dock this morning. Our car suddenly broke down while we were following him. By the time the backup people caught up, they had already taken a ship to Shanghai.
After learning the news, I planned to send someone to Ningbo to find Miss He and ask her to contact District Chief Yu. People from East China District would intercept her in Shanghai, and our people would take the nearest ship to pursue her. "
Gu Qi told him his arrangement in one breath, and Zuo Zhong's face looked a little better. Gu Qi's remedial measures were appropriate. He could intercept them in Shanghai to keep them secret. As for the car breaking down, there was nothing he could do about it. Of course, he had to make sure it was true. It was a mechanical failure, not someone sabotaging it.
He looked at the agents queuing up and pulled Gu Qi aside: "The people here can't move their hands. Let the brothers at home in Jinling go to Shanghai. They are closer. I want to ask you something."
Gu Qi had not yet reacted to the blow of Zhan Jing's decoupling. Hearing that Zuo Zhong wanted to ask him something, he quickly said: "Whether or not the person responsible for this matter is all my fault and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Zuo Zhong shook his head solemnly and whispered: "I just came here and left Zhanjing, and the vehicle I was following happened to break down on the road. These two things are too coincidental and need to be investigated.
It's not that I don't believe everyone, but you and I are in this position, and doubt is our bounden duty. Think about it, are there any people acting alone or anything suspicious these days? "
When Gu Qi heard these two things, he felt that it was too much of a coincidence. He recalled the entire operation, and finally he was very sure: "No, except Tong Suo and Shen Dongxin, all other personnel work in pairs. Every night The operation report was conducted separately, and I received no relevant intelligence.”
Zuo Zhong nodded slightly and patted Gu Qi's shoulder: "That's good, I can't blame you for this. The legs are on Zhan Jing's body, and we can't follow too closely. It's inevitable that something like this will happen.
Gu Qi smiled with difficulty. He knew that Zuo Zhong was trying to comfort him. If there were two vehicles tracking alternately at that time, they would not have lost the target on a small island. This was a dereliction of duty.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Section Chief, after this operation, I will conduct a review and ask for punishment myself. If this matter is not dealt with, it will affect the entire Intelligence Section.
If you want to treat others, you must first treat yourself. If everyone is looking for reasons for the failure of the action, it won't be long before we are like the secret service headquarters. I am willing to bear all the responsibilities. "
Seeing the seriousness on his face, Zuo Zhong knew that he was dedicated to serving the public good, but now was not the time to investigate the responsibility, so he said: "Zhanjing's ship arrived in Shanghai at night, and the interception method must be considered. Unfortunately, there is no need between China and Japan. Passport and visa, otherwise you will be able to hold him back by tampering with it."
Gu Qi thought for a while and suggested: "Secret arrest, secret interrogation, and secret execution if there are any problems. Zhanjing is a famous eminent monk. The slightest carelessness will cause a huge disturbance. He cannot be exposed to the outside world, especially The press knows about it, otherwise there will be another uproar.”
The advantage of Gu Qi's suggestion is that it is direct and efficient, but the disadvantage is that there is no escape route. Fortunately, Zhan Jing is a real Japanese spy. Once an unjust, false, and wrong case is caused, it will be an eternal shame for the Intelligence Department and Zuo Zhong.
Zuo Zhong did not want to be nailed to the pillar of shame, so he asked and answered: "It is easy to secretly capture Zhanjing, but what is the possibility that he is a Japanese spy? If he is a Japanese spy and notices our actions, he should choose Secret evacuation.
However, based on the analysis of existing intelligence, he did not hide his whereabouts and seemed to be happy for others to know that he was invited to Japan. This kind of deliberate showoff was in line with his character. "
Gu Qi thought of the contents of the surveillance record and expressed his agreement. Zhanjing was more like an actor than a monk. This person paid great attention to his reputation and image.
Zuo Zhong went on to analyze: "The relationship between the Chinese and Japanese governments is tense, but there are frequent economic, cultural, and religious exchanges among the people, so it is still possible for Zhanjing to be invited to Japan.
Being invited to the most famous temple in Japan is an affirmation for him. There is an explanation for why he set off in such a hurry. I feel that I cannot arrest him for the time being and continue to observe. "
Speaking of this, Zuo Zhong made up his mind: "Go in person and ask He Yijun to tell District Chief Yu, and try to create as much trouble as possible so that Zhan Jing cannot make the trip.
The specific surveillance work is handed over to Jinling's support personnel, so that they can be more vigilant and pay attention to whether anyone with a suspicious identity comes into contact with Zhan Jing. "
Gu Qi left immediately after receiving the order. It would take several hours to get from Putuo Mountain to Ningbo. It would also take several hours for the East China District to understand the intelligence and arrange the operation.
If he couldn't successfully catch up with Zhanjing before he disembarked, once he disappeared into the metropolis of Shanghai, there would be no chance of finding him in a short time, unless he took the risk on the ship to Japan.
After Gu Qi left, Zuo Zhong called Shen Dongxin. He had a task to give him.
"Dongxin, do you know anything about mechanics?"
"Know something."
"Now check these cars to see if there are any signs of vandalism."
"yes."
But Shen Dongxin watched it for a long time, and based on his little mechanical knowledge, he judged that this was a simple breakdown due to overheating of the engine.
This conclusion made Zuo Zhong's furrowed brows quietly loosen, as long as there was no problem in the Intelligence Department.
Let Shen Dongxin rest, and he found a place to sit down. The images of Shen Ku, Ben Zhi, and Zhan Jing reappeared in his mind.
He is deeply miserable, cares about the working people, has a very direct personality, has no good impressions of rich people, does not value money very much, and is a good old man.
This one is very complicated. According to Tongsuo's information, he spoke harshly to other masters at Tiantong Temple, but when he saw him, he seemed so compassionate and in need of money.
Zhanjing is arrogant, jealous of talents, and somewhat vain. His attitude towards money is unknown. It is said that he regards money as dirt.
After thinking for a long time, Zuo Zhong came up with nothing, but he was not discouraged. He was going to change his mind and try to analyze who was most likely to know and leak the ancient tomb based on the clues from Xiaoguan Mountain.
If you consider this aspect, Ben Zhi's suspicion is not small. Faced with Zuo Zhong's US dollars, he did not resist the temptation, no matter what the reason.
It's just that the wealth of the ancient tomb is a huge amount of wealth. Shen Ku and Zhan Jing don't care about the small money. What about the big money? Just when Zuo Zhong wanted to analyze it in depth, he was interrupted by a shout.
"Section Chief, Section Chief!" A secret agent knocked on the door and rushed in with a happy face: "The latest news from the dock is that because the sea is too rough today, Monk Zhanjing's ship has returned to Putuo."
Zuo Zhong stood up immediately: "What did you say? Where did the information come from? Is it reliable?"
This news was so good that it was a bit unbelievable. The unhooked fish swam back again. Zuo Zhong even thanked his car for breaking down. If Zhanjing was not a spy, but was arrested by them at the dock, then he was a real spy. Just know.
The agent smiled and wiped his sweat: "It's the news from Deputy Section Chief Gu. He was preparing to take a boat back to Ningbo. He saw Zhanjing with his own eyes at the dock. He is now following him and sending someone back to deliver the letter."
"Haha." Zuo Zhong laughed heartily: "God help me, send people to support immediately, keep it secret, and ask Deputy Section Chief Gu to come back immediately."
"Yes." The agent walked away with a smile on his face.
The strong wind outside the house became more and more fierce, and the seabirds fell under the eaves one after another. It seemed that even these little elves could not resist the wrath of nature. Zuo Zhong smiled and took out a piece of bread, broke it into pieces and threw it on the ground. The seabirds They came in droves.
Perhaps attracted by the food, more and more seabirds came to take refuge and look for food. Zuo Zhong was feeding, his smile slowly disappeared, and there was a trace of surprise on his face. He seemed to know who the Japanese spy was. Really? I thought it was that person.
