"Da da da~"
In the extremely quiet room, a tape rotated at a constant speed. Yao Li covered his headphones with both hands and listened quietly to the sounds coming from inside.
"Our friend has a cold."
"Oh? Have you infected others?"
…………
This was a conversation between the owner of the paper shop and Gu Zhongya, director of the Operations Department of the Air Defense Command. The tape quickly finished playing, and the recorder made a clicking sound and stopped running.
After hesitating for a moment, Yao Li raised his head and said to the agent on the side: "Can you play it again?"
The agent made no move, but looked at Zuo Zhong who was standing not far away. When he nodded in approval, he turned the tape over and pressed the power switch.
After listening to this for seven or eight times, Yao Li took off his earphones and said helplessly: "Sir, when I talked to the line on the phone, the voice on the other side was a little muffled. I could only tell that the person on the other end was not young, and it was Jiang Cheng. accent.
The two voices in the recording are basically the same age, but one has a northern accent and the other has a Hunan accent, and the timbres are also different. It is impossible to determine whether they are my upline. What I told is the truth. "
He said a few frightened words, and then sat there obediently waiting to be punished. As a former police officer, Yao Li knew that it was useless to bite randomly, and the end would only be worse.
"kindness."
Zuo Zhong's expression was indifferent, as if he had expected this result. He was silent for a few seconds with his hands behind his back, and then gave Yao Li new instructions.
"Write down the time, method, and location of your dead mailbox with your online contact. The more detailed the higher the priority. This is related to the lives of you and your family.
I don't want to lie to you. Your matter has been heard by Heaven. If you can't atone for your sins, you will inevitably go to the execution ground. Do you understand? "
"I understand, I understand, I will write now."
Yao Li nodded desperately. He became a traitor only because of the other party's threats and making money. He had no faith or loyalty at all.
Now that he had a chance to survive, he naturally tried his best to get rid of his crime and make meritorious service, so he immediately wrote down the relevant situation as required under the surveillance of the secret agents.
After he finished writing, Zuo Zhong took it over and looked at it carefully. He found that Yao Li and Xing Ge mostly talked on the phone during the day, and the dead mailbox was not far from the paper shop.
After pondering for a long time, he turned around and left the room to find Shen Dongxin, and handed over the work of Yao Li and Gu Zhongya's space-time trajectory collision to the other party, so he didn't bother the two masters.
And compared to old-school intelligence officers such as Gu Qi, Song Minghao, and Wu Jingzhong, Shen Dongxin, who studied in the gendarmerie major at Saint-Cyr Military Academy, is better at data processing.
Different from the simple tracking, killing, sabotage, and stealing of secrets in the past, the modern intelligence industry pays more and more attention to analysis and has higher and higher requirements for personnel.
If the situation continues, frontline operators like Gui Youguang will gradually become marginalized, and support staff wearing ties and suits will become the mainstream.
The intelligence agencies of the future will be more like commercial companies than violent organizations, with many performance appraisals and KPIs. This era will be the last golden age of classical espionage.
Cao Cao was about to arrive. At this moment, Gui Youguang, who was about to "expire", hurried in and proudly reported to Zuo Zhong on the implementation of the interception of Gu Zhongya.
"Deputy Director, it's done. I'll use the name of the Secret Service Headquarters to knock the car out of the attendant's room. That guy will have to lie in bed for at least half a month."
? ? ?
Crash!
Zuo Zhong was a little dizzy. He asked the big bald man to stop Gu Zhongya from going to the official residence. This was true, but shouldn't the other party cause a small car accident and then find a reason to beat Gu Zhongya.
What the hell was the car that hit the attendant's room? The staff there were either relatives of the emperor or the rising stars that Baldhead valued most. For example, he had an errand job in the Sixth Section of the Second Department.
If the people in the attendant's room were killed, the matter would be serious. Zuo Zhong raised his finger and pointed at Gui Youguang~ he was trembling with anger, feeling that sooner or later he would be killed by this bastard.
"Peng!"
He slapped the table hard and roared angrily: "You are so brave. Who asked you to do this? Do you know how serious this matter is?"
"Deputy Director, you said not to use any method. The situation was urgent and I had no choice but to make this move. Don't worry, I only attacked Gu Zhongya."
Gui Youguang looked at the angry Zuo Zhong and explained with an innocent face.
"Get out! Before the case is solved, everyone involved in the operation today should keep their mouths shut. No matter who asks, they will say they don't know."
Zuo Zhong, who had scolded the bald man away and was still angry, was thinking of countermeasures when he was summoned to Dai Chunfeng's office by a call from Li Wei.
During this period, Lao Dai went to Banshanlu's official residence every day to flatter the bald man. Today, when he came back and summoned him, it must have something to do with what that bastard Gui Youguang did.
Zuo Zhong was thinking in his mind as he knocked on the door of Dai Chunfeng's office. He heard a sound coming from the door and pushed it open.
"teacher."
He lowered his head and said hello, and glanced at Lao Dai secretly.
"Well, Shen Zhong is here, sit down."
Dai Chunfeng seemed to be thinking about something. When he saw Zuo Zhong, he waved for him to sit down, then held up the teacup with a gloating expression.
"You heard, some cheap brother-in-law of Xu Enzeng crashed into the attendant's car, and also beat up the major general of the Air Defense Command..."
"Seat."
"Hmm, what's up?"
Zuo Zhong interrupted the other party's words in a low voice. Lao Dai was not angry at all. He just asked a question with a hint of confusion and opened his mouth to take a sip of water.
"We found a mole, and through monitoring, we determined that Gu Zhongya from the Air Defense Command was suspected of being a spy. This person was going to Banshanlu for an interview, so..."
Extending one's head is a knife, and shrinking one's head is also a knife. Zuo Zhong bites the bullet and reports the truth. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from Dai Chunfeng, and the other party will know sooner or later.
"Pfft~cough, cough."
Dai Chunfeng, who was on the opposite side, spat out the water in his mouth and kept coughing. Half of his face was a smile, half of it was shock, which looked a little funny.
Upon seeing this, Zuo Zhong hurriedly came to the desk and patted Teacher Cheap on the back to prevent him from choking to death before he hit the mountain, and then found a reason for the action of the Secret Service.
"Teacher, the student is absolutely sure that Gu Zhongya must be related to the Japanese. If he knows the location of the leader's official residence, I'm afraid something unspeakable will happen.
Don't forget, Gu Zhongya knows the locations of all anti-aircraft guns. With him as an internal response, Japanese planes can fly in and out of the sky above Jiangcheng as if they were in uninhabited territory. Then the leader will be in danger.
Besides, the brothers did not attack the people in the attendant's room, which is not considered disrespectful to the committee chairman. Teacher, I will definitely discipline them well, and please give everyone another chance. "
Dai Chunfeng opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say. The fact was just as Zuo Zhong said. Now that he knew that Gu Zhongya had a problem with his identity, he definitely couldn't let him go to Banshanlu.
Besides, the leader gave Zuo Zhong discretionary power. A car accident was not too much. Not to mention no lives were lost, even if there were lives, it was worth it compared with the leader's safety.
"This will never happen again!"
Lao Daihu said four words with a face and gently revealed the matter. As for how he was going to explain it to someone, it was just to kill Gu Zhongya's identity as a spy and make the situation more urgent.
In this way, the Secret Service was not only not at fault, but also meritorious. Dai Chunfeng, who had made up his mind, felt as if his butt was on fire, and hurriedly drove to Banshanlu to claim credit.
Zuo Zhong watched the other party go away and suddenly blinked. Did he tell Lao Dai that they had no conclusive evidence to prove that Gu Zhongya was involved in espionage and that everything was just his guess?
Did you say that?
right!
It must have been said.
After finishing his mental preparation, he wandered to Wu Chunyang's office, ready to ask about the results of the investigation against Gu Zhongya.
Why would a high-ranking Major General of the Guo Army, who was born in Huangpu, betray the country and the nation? Whether he was impersonated or there were other reasons, this matter must be investigated clearly.
"Chunyang, how's the investigation going?"
Zuo Zhong passed through a group of little spies who were browsing files and answering phone calls, and sat down on the chair opposite Wu Chunyang.
"There is too much target information in the report. We have only clarified the experience before the 19th year of the Republic of China."
Wu Chunyang put down a document: "In Hunan Province, we learned from Gu Zhongya's childhood classmates and friends that he returns to his hometown basically every year, and the possibility of being replaced is very small.
The Gu family is also a well-known local family. The family history can be traced back two to three hundred years ago. They have no contact with the Japanese, so they cannot be a nail planted by the Japanese.
In the 14th year of the Republic of China, he entered the third artillery major in Huangpu. The school's political department conducted a background check on him, and everything was normal. After graduation, he entered the military service.
In the 16th year of the Republic of China, the national government signed an order with Oerlikon Company for 100 20mm cannons. As one of the first batch of professional air defense force officers, Gu Zhongya went to Switzerland to learn air defense command.
A year later, the other party successfully graduated and returned to China. By the 19th year of the Republic of China, he had served successively as staff officer of the Golden Air Defense Command, deputy section chief, and section chief of the Operations Department. His career can be said to be quite smooth.
Judging from the information currently available, Gu Zhongya's words, deeds, and experience are not suspicious. It is currently unclear when he was instigated to rebel, and further investigation is needed. "
Listening to Wu Chunyang's report, Zuo Zhong was secretly frightened. In more than ten years, Gu Zhongya rose from a military academy cadet to a major general and director of the Operations Department. His official career was not smooth. He was clearly riding a helicopter.
Of course, compared with him, his promotion was slower. After all, he was from Zhejiang Province, had several big legs to hug, and had the help of a system father. This advantage was unmatched by ordinary people.
So why could Gu Zhongya be promoted so quickly? Not to mention because of his ability. There are many capable people in the government. Without a backing (harmony), he would still be struggling at the bottom.
Zuo Zhong's heart sank as he thought about it, and he realized that he seemed to have missed an important detail. He suddenly looked at Wu Chunyang and asked seriously.
"Who is the target following?"
Wu Chunyang smiled bitterly, leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "It's Minister Song. It is said that the two met during the negotiation of the anti-aircraft gun contract. The man admired Gu Zhongya's talents."
Gan!
Zuo Zhong's whole body burst into tears. He jumped to the phone in a few steps and connected to Banshanlu. He hoped that Mr. Cheap had not told the bald head yet, otherwise the Secret Service would have to experience the power of pillow wind.
This blame must not be shouldered. My little arms and legs can't bear it, so let Xu Enzeng face the anger of Uncle Guo (Harmony). This guy is used to it anyway.
