"I understand~I understand~"
The next morning, in the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior, Xing Hanliang sat behind his desk with his chin propped up, turning his head to look at the cicadas that kept chirping outside the window, and his eyes gradually became empty.
Officer Ning looked at the little brother and couldn't help but shook his head. Since last winter, this man seemed to have changed into a different person, no longer as lively and cheerful as before.
He also understood the specific reason. It was simply because the man named Ban Jun, Xing Hanliang, Ban Jun and Section Chief Zuo, oh, no, it was Deputy Chief Zuo, were classmates.
This was originally a beautiful story. The three good friends grew up together and supported each other. In a few decades, they might all become important figures. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable.
Ban Jun turned out to be an underground party. Not to mention Xing Hanliang, even he was shocked when the news came. He had seen Ban Jun before, a middle-aged man who looked honest and kind.
Who would have thought that such a person would dare to rob prisoners and kill dozens of agents from the Secret Service Headquarters. When the Jiujiawu site was being cleaned up, he went there, and several trucks were loaded with corpses alone.
Xing Hanliang was lucky. If it weren't for Deputy Director Zuo's relationship, his personal relationship with the underground party alone would be enough for this kid to drink. Don't think that he is safe because he is a policeman.
The human heart is like iron, and the official law is like a furnace.
Struggles involving doctrines and beliefs have always been a matter of life and death. As long as you get involved, it is equivalent to stepping into the gate of hell. You say it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter? No one will believe it.
Officer Ning sighed and prepared to take Xing Hanliang out to relax. Anyway, apart from uploading and distributing messy official documents, the Police Department had nothing else serious to do.
At this moment, he saw Deputy Director Zuo, whom he had not seen for a long time, walking in with a smile. The other party nodded to him and made a silent gesture, and quietly walked towards Xing Hanliang.
"Chief Xing, hello."
Zuo Zhong stomped to the window, slapped Xing Hanliang on the shoulder, and greeted his old classmate with a smile. Unexpectedly, Lao Xing slowly turned his head and rolled his eyes.
"Director Zuo, did you know that windows can reflect light? I saw you as soon as you walked in. Tell me, why are you here at the police station today? Do you have any official business?"
Zuo Zhong wiped the sweat from his head and sat down on the stool. He picked up the tea on the table and poured it into his mouth. He spit it out after just two sips and made a rude comment.
"What kind of crappy tea is this? I'll have someone bring you some of this year's Yuqian later. What you said is wrong. I can't come over to see you. Do I have to have official business to come?"
What's going on? I heard that you are depressed. You shouldn't be. In my memory, you are always drunk one day and drunk the next. Is it because the girl from Jinling is not moisturized, or is her body broken? "
"Bah, I have three nights..."
Xing Hanliang jumped up immediately. Halfway through his retort, he realized that this was an office. He quickly sat back and angrily took out his cigarettes and scattered them to Officer Zuo Zhong and Ning.
After finishing, he flattened the empty cigarette case and said calmly: "I don't have any depression, I just think of Ban Jun. I don't know where I am now and whether I am in danger.
I don't understand why Laoban ignored the good customs department and insisted on going to the mountains and valleys to become a rebel. You, the deputy director of the Secret Service, wouldn't even care about this matter. "
"Deputy Director Zuo, Lao Xing, you guys chat, I have something else to do and I'll leave first." Officer Ning at the next table heard the conversation between the two and quickly stood up to leave. You can't get involved in this kind of thing.
It doesn't matter if old friends talk about taboo things. As an outsider here, you can easily get into trouble. Who in the police system doesn't know how powerful the Smiling Tiger is, so it's better to leave as soon as possible.
"Officer Ning, wait."
Seeing this, Zuo Zhong pressed his hand on the opponent, looked at Xing Hanliang and said seriously: "I gave him a chance to turn back during the firefight that day, but unfortunately he did not accept my kindness.
Steel knives belong to steel knives, and brothers belong to brothers. Lao Ban is an underground party member, and he is also my Zuo Zhong’s brother. Although I don’t understand why he did this, I respect his choice.
This is a great era in which countless people are striving for their ideals. The paths are different, but the purpose is the same. They are all for the rejuvenation of the country. You and I can only go with the flow.
Political things are beyond our control and are not ours to control. We can only hope that one day we can have a good time over wine and talk again. Self-pity cannot solve any problems. "
After he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and hesitated for a moment before putting it back. He thought to himself that the people at the Police Department who distributed supplies must have taken a lot of it. This is not tea at all. It is not even high foam.
Niang Xipi, a bunch of insects.
I asked Wu Chunyang's political intelligence unit to investigate. He just made room and became the deputy director. There were some things that needed to be laid out, and they couldn't be arranged at the last moment.
Xing Hanliang didn't say anything over there. He snorted when he saw Zuo Zhong's behavior, took out a small metal box from the drawer, stood up, poured another cup of tea and handed it over.
"Here you go, this is what my uncle gave me. It's no worse than your Yuqian. You could drink plain water when you were in school, but now that you've become the deputy director, you've become so picky.
I think you are overqualified in asking you to go to the Secret Service. Director Dai should let you be the director of the General Affairs Division, so that there will be no problems with what the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics uses, drinks, and eats. "
Ridiculing, Xing Hanliang sat back in his seat, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "I know there must be something you need me to do when you come. Tell me, do you want to do something?"
As he spoke, he made a downward movement, which made Officer Ning restless. It was neither a matter of leaving nor a matter of not leaving. He regretted not leaving earlier. He was in trouble.
"Phew, good tea."
Zuo Zhong blew on the hot air and took a sip, then glanced sideways at Xing Hanliang: "I'm not bragging to you, if I were the director of the general affairs department, I could earn a villa in the concession by keeping it for one year.
And what kind of action are you doing? If you want to kill people, you don't need to take action. Some of the deputy director's men are masters of action. They kill people like crazy and are bloodthirsty. They are very cruel.
I came to see you this time because I need help from you and Officer Ning on other matters. This matter is difficult for us in the Secret Service to handle, so we have to find outsiders. Are you two okay today? "
"It's okay, I'm very free."
Officer Xing Hanliang and Officer Ning smiled and replied that there were only two parts of working in the police department, one was to be in a daze, and the other was to attend meetings. Sometimes they felt a little guilty even with the salary.
"Okay, there are two cars with civilian license plates parked downstairs, with weapons, camouflage supplies and several spare license plates on them. Please help me keep an eye on the target in this envelope."
Zuo Zhong threw two keys and an envelope on the table with a very serious expression: "Attention, the other party is a professional intelligence officer, please pay attention to safety, you can shoot in an emergency."
Officers Xing Hanliang and Ning restrained their smiles upon hearing this. They had received tracking training, but they were far behind agents. They had never performed similar tasks and had no experience at all.
Besides the danger, it would be bad if it delayed Zuo Zhong's affairs. Every case handled by the Secret Service would be open to the sky. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to do so?
"Zuo Zhong, it's not that I'm a coward. It's okay for the two of us to keep an eye on an ordinary person, but I'm afraid we won't be able to keep an eye on intelligence officers like you." Xing Hanliang thought for a while and said.
Officer Ning also nodded and said sternly: "The working methods of the police and your office are different. The police are not afraid of being discovered when tracking suspects. At worst, they don't have to worry about being exposed if they arrest someone."
"Haha, as long as you understand."
Zuo Zhong waved his hand and explained: "The target this time is quite special. There shouldn't be too many anti-tracking actions during the operation. Officers Lao Xing and Ning can just follow them from a distance. There is no need to get close.
As long as the target's foothold is confirmed, the operation can be over. You don't need to worry about the rest, let alone inquire about the other party's intelligence. There are probably hidden sentries around. "
So that's it.
Now Xing Hanliang and the two were relieved. It was not too difficult to track them from a distance. If they encountered a situation, they would have enough time and space to react, so the possibility of problems was very small.
After the three people discussed in low voices, Zuo Zhong left quietly, just like when he came. After leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he looked at his watch and asked the driver to rush back to Hong Gong Temple immediately.
The car sped along the road and soon drove into the compound of the Secret Service. Before the car stopped, a man got out and opened the door for him with a playful smile.
"Deputy Director, please."
"Oh, it's Director Li."
Zuo Zhong looked at Li Qiwu, who was nodding and bowing, and said hello with a smile. After getting out of the car, he walked directly into the office building, not planning to talk to him at all.
As the deputy director in charge of all-round work, he can treat the chief secretary in a good manner or not. His military rank and seniority give him the confidence to do so.
When Li Qiwu saw this, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he finally gritted his teeth and quickly chased after him. Then he bent down slightly and respectfully asked Zuo Zhong for instructions on the decoration.
"Deputy Director, I have approved the official document for renovating the office building. I heard from the General Affairs Department that they handed it over to Secretary He. Can you please take the time to take a look at it? This matter is urgent."
"Why are you so anxious? The office building is not about to collapse yet, Director Li. Every penny we use is the people's money, so we must be careful when using it."
Zuo Chong cleared his throat and spoke in a high-pitched voice. This yin and yang look made Li Qiwu angry to death. What a shame. Have you ever been polite when using public funds?
But considering that the person was under the eaves and he was still there with a smiling face, Zuo Zhong felt that the heat was almost over, and it was still up to the owner to beat the dog, so he stared at Li Qiwu with a half-smile but not a smile.
"Besides, if the director hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it. Working in the agency is not like when you are messing around outside. You have to abide by the same rules at all times.
That is to abide by the rules, otherwise it will be easy to offend others. Okay, I will deal with your official document as soon as possible. There is a celebration party tonight. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it tomorrow. "
"Yes, yes, I understand."
After all, Li Qiwu was new to intelligence work, and he was not the old secret agent that he would be in the future. When he heard that Zuo Zhong had agreed to the application, he immediately beamed with joy.
He stretched out his hand to guide the way and sent Zuo Zhong to the office, then trotted back to his room to make a phone call and inform the other party of the good news.
"Yes, I have agreed. You can come over later and we will start construction today. I tell you, the money promised to me cannot be less than a penny. No one dares to owe the Secret Service any money."
Li Qiwu tapped his foot on the table, his tone was very proud, and he threatened him. Then he didn't know what was said on the other end, and the guy hung up the phone happily.
