"Chongli Society? The hall of Ge Laohui?"
"Yes, Vice Chairman, those unknown persons eventually returned to Chongli Society."
After Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang found out the origins of the ambushers around the theater, they returned directly to the headquarters on the south bank without leaving anyone under surveillance.
Because their enemy is not an individual, but an organization, an organization with members all over the mountain city. As long as the surveillance personnel reveal a flaw, the operation may be exposed.
Instead of risking surveillance, it is better to pause the operation first, report back, and then decide what to do next.
On the other side, Zuo Zhong didn't feel surprised at all after listening to the report of his two subordinates. From the moment he knew the identity of the target Japanese spy, he had guessed something.
"Let's go and talk to Sun Renyi."
After standing up and saying something, Zuo Zhong took the lead to walk out of the cold and wet tent. Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang followed closely behind him. The three of them drove straight to the Haitang Creek Pier down the mountain.
When the car stopped at the entrance of Wenrentang Tea House, the tea waiter came up to them again, invited them to sit down at the table with a smile, and trotted off to call Sun Renyi.
Not long after, Sun Renyi, wearing a silk robe, hurried in from outside. His subordinates were killed, and he, the flag bearer, also had a lot of things to deal with.
Seeing Zuo Zhong, he quickly invited three people to the back hall. There were many people in the hall, which was not suitable for talking, and it was not safe. Who knew if someone would suddenly stab him.
After the four people sat down respectively, the waiter poured a cup of tea for them and then exited in a disciplined manner. However, Gui Youguang suddenly took out a cigarette and stood at the door to whistle.
"Sir Zuo, what are you doing?"
Sun Renyi looked at Gui Youguang, then at Zuo Zhong who was drinking tea calmly, and asked with some confusion.
"It's nothing. Japanese spies are rampant. My brother is also thinking about our safety. Come and have tea."
Zuo Zhong used a tureen to skim off some foam in the cup, explained to the other party with a smile, and then asked a question in an understatement.
"By the way, Sun Zhangqi, this tea waiter has been with you for how many years. If he can be responsible for public speaking, he must be very trusted by you. Is he a relative?"
After asking, he glanced at Sun Renyi, with a half-smile expression on his lips, which made the other person panic, but Sun Renyi still answered honestly.
"You have been with me for more than ten years, and you are not a relative. At that time, the Republic of China had just been established for more than ten years, wars were going on everywhere, and the city was full of people fleeing.
This kid came to the mountain city from his hometown in Yu Province and almost starved to death. I accepted him into the Ge Laohui because I looked pitiful. What? Does Mr. Zuo have something to do for him?
Don't worry, despite his young age, he is still an old man with a wide network of contacts. If you have anything to do, just ask him and he will definitely help you get it done. "
It can be heard that Sun Renyi is very optimistic about the tea server, and arranges him to be responsible for receiving guests at the public entrance, and even intends to train the next generation of flag bearers.
Different from the Cao Gang and the Hong Gang, the Ge Lao Hui has much less violent attributes. Walking around the lake depends on its reputation and face. The more fellow members you know, the greater its energy.
Therefore, the job of tea server is really not suitable for everyone. It is a basic requirement to deal with people properly, and you must have the trust of the flag master to take up the job.
Zuo Zhong looked at the other party sympathetically and said softly: "Thank you Sun Zhangqi for your kindness. Zuo doesn't dare to let a spy help."
"Oh, it's okay, I'm just a spy... a spy..."
Sun Renyi realized something was wrong just halfway through his polite words, and his tongue was knotted at that time. When did his cronies become traitors?
If a hairless man and Xu Zeng knew what he was thinking, they would understand it very well. After all, no one knows better than them about monks and thieves.
Looking back at the teahouse, Sun Renyi looked in disbelief and stammered: "Impossible, I watched him grow up, and Sun knew who he knew and what he said.
Yes, there must be a misunderstanding here. Sir Zuo, please check carefully and don't wrongly accuse a good person. He is the person I carefully selected to be the leader of the hall. "
This elder brother of the Ge Laohui is a little out of character. It is understandable that anyone who knows that the junior who has been with him for more than ten years will find it difficult to accept it.
But this is normal in the intelligence field. It has been hidden for several years, more than ten years, or even generations. For example, it was the same case that the Secret Service solved in Jinling.
Sun Renyi looked at Zuo Zhong excitedly, trying to get a negative answer from him, but Zuo Zhong's answer was destined to disappoint him.
"I'm sorry, Sun Zhangqi, your waiter is really a spy." Zuo Zhong's face gradually became serious, and he asked Sun Renyi: "Do you remember what color clothes he wore yesterday?"
"Black, what's wrong with black? Are those wearing black clothes spies?"
Sun Renyi was confused by this question, and his tone was inevitably a bit harsh.
"No, there is no law in the government that prohibits wearing black clothes. The problem is that blood turns dark red over time and is difficult to distinguish when mixed with black."
Zuo Zhong didn't care about the other party's attitude and continued to explain his reasons for doubting the tea waiter: "Sun Zhangqi also saw the scene of the murder. The murderer's methods were cruel and blood could be seen everywhere.
There was blood even on the walls and the floor. The murderer was closer, so it was impossible not to get stained. Something strange happened. Neither you nor I noticed that there was blood on someone's clothes when the crime occurred, right?
What does this mean? It means that the murderer either changed into new clothes at the scene, or there is a way to make the blood stains invisible. It is unrealistic to change clothes, and it will be easily exposed if someone catches him.
On that day when I was surveying the site, I accidentally got blood on my sleeve. While meditating beside me, I smelled a smell from the black clothes, but I couldn't detect it with the naked eye.
It wasn't until then that I realized that the tea waiter who went to look for the five robe brothers was wearing black clothes. When he came back, he was still covered in mud and water, just enough to cover up all the smell.
Moreover, just as we were about to question people who might have seen the Japanese spies, these people were silenced. The Japanese seemed to know all about our actions. Tell me, is this a coincidence? "
At this point, Zuo Zhong said meaningfully to Sun Renyi: "Everyone in our industry knows a truth, that is, all coincidences are carefully arranged.
Sun Zhangqi, you don’t have to be too angry. You have indeed been walking on the lake for many years, but it is not a shame to be deceived by professional intelligence officers.
All the training we have received is to deceive the enemy and use the enemy, not to mention you, even the Zhongtong... In short, this matter is normal, don't mind it. "
These words sounded very nice. Sun Renyi really wanted to grab the other party's collar and ask him, how would you feel if the subordinate you trained for more than ten years was an underground party?
But an idea was an idea after all. He knew that if he really did this, he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow. There was nothing interesting about these spies.
In addition, even though he believed Zuo Zhong's explanation in his heart, Sun Renyi still didn't give up. After thinking about it carefully, he actually found a flaw in it.
"Deputy Director Zuo, if he is a Japanese spy, why should he be left alive? Once the witness wakes up, he will be exposed. How to explain this?"
As he spoke, Sun Renyi's eyes became brighter and brighter. No matter what angle he considered, he did not want Japanese people to appear under his hands.
Faced with this question, Zuo Zhong chuckled: "Explanation? What if the witness is also a spy? You don't think that the other person has been in your Wenrentang for so many years just to lurk.
If I'm not wrong, there should be quite a few people who have entered the Ge Lao Hui through tea servers. There must be a record on your seabed (roster). Do you need me to say more?
The Japanese spy is not stupid. We asked him to find someone, but the person died. He is the first suspect. We must find a witness to prove him. The so-called witnesses are nothing more than a trick.
Don't worry, the so-called injured person is already under our "protection" and is under the charge of Director Gu. If it weren't for the purpose of confusing the Japanese spies and preventing them from interrogating, the matter would have come to light long ago.
You are lucky, otherwise you will die inexplicably soon, and then your henchmen will take over. By then, Wenrentang will belong to the Japanese. "
Sun Renyi's heart skipped a beat. He was not a fool. Of course he knew what it meant to occupy a dove's nest, and he also knew that what the other party said was likely to come true.
There were indeed some people who entered Wenrentang through the tea waiter, and these people were smart, daring and hard-working, and were the backbone of the hall. At that time, he thought this was because his subordinates were knowledgeable.
Looking back now, it would be an easy thing for a group of spies to get ahead in the Qiuhu Gang. Hey, let's put it this way, the military commander really saved his life.
As a senior official, he must never deny favors received from others. Sun Renyi suddenly stood up, making Zuo Zhong and Wu Chunyang jump, and then he saw the other party clasping his fists to show his support.
"Sir Zuo, Mr. Sun is not an ignorant fool. Thank you for your help this time. Whenever you need help in the future, just speak and come, please."
After saying what he wanted to say in one breath, Sun Renyi replaced the wine with tea, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, and also turned the glass upside down to show his sincerity, which was very much the way of the lake.
Being given the favor, Zuo Zhongde continued. He also stood up and drank all the water in the glass. He said politely with a smile: "Old Sun, there is no need to be so polite. Besides, you are not the only one who was deceived."
"What? Who else?"
Hearing this, Sun Renyi became excited. Human beings are so complicated. It's hard to accept just being unlucky. It would be much easier if other people were the same.
"Chongli Society, are you familiar with it?"
Zuo Zhong softly uttered three words in his mouth and stared at the other party, wanting to see Sun Renyi's reaction. Information about Chongli Society was still being collected, and the other party should know better than them.
As soon as these words came out, Sun Renyi's smile disappeared, and he said with a livid face: "Of course I am familiar with it, that is my cousin. He died last year, and the current banner holder is named Wu!"
Zuo Zhong and Wu Chunyang looked at each other and knew that things were in trouble. A brother Pao who was controlled by Japanese spies would be too harmful. Moreover, this was just Chongli Society. If there were others...
Thinking of this, the two felt that they could not wait any longer and must immediately investigate the spy intelligence network. The more days these spies existed, the greater the threat to the country.
There was no time to comfort Sun Renyi who had lost his dearest relatives and friends, so Zuo Zhong called him aside and gave him a few words. Under the hatred of the country and his family, Sun Renyi nodded vigorously with a fierce look on his face.
