The next morning.
More than a dozen cars filed into the headquarters of the Military Unification Bureau at No. 29, Luojiawan. After the convoy stopped, Shen Dongxin was the first to get out of the car, went to the back row and opened the door, and Zhu Liuxian, who was smiling, got out of the car with his head held high.
In the last car, Xu Enzeng, who looked like a dead mother, took Ji Boxian, the underground traitor's pencil, and reluctantly got down and stood with a group of Central Unification agents.
"Brother Zhu, it's been a long time."
Dai Chunfeng, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward, reached out and grabbed Zhu Liuxian's hand and said loudly, with Zuo Zhong as a bond, the two people who had had an unpleasant dispute over the ownership of the Zhejiang Provincial Police Academy were able to clear up their past feud.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend. This saying is really true. In order to jointly deal with Er Chen and Xu Enzeng, Lao Dai gave Zhu Liuxian enough face this time, and the entire military command bureau came forward to greet his old rival.
Both of them were veteran officials, and they exchanged pleasantries with smiles while shaking hands. Zheng Tingbing and Zuo Zhong also joined in, and they walked towards the interrogation room chatting and laughing, pretending not to see someone.
"Bullying others goes too far. Bullying others goes too far."
Xu Enzeng was shaking with anger and kept muttering something. Next to him, Ji Boxian and the Central Unification Agent subconsciously took a few steps to the side, fearing that Deputy Director Xu would go crazy and vent his anger on them.
To be honest, Gu Qi was kind. He couldn't bear to see Lao Xu standing there trembling while performing. He smiled and chatted with him and invited him to participate in the interrogation. Xu Enzeng was not embarrassed at all.
When the middle and high-level officials from both the military and central government came to the interrogation room, they immediately blocked up the small room. Zheng Tingbing was very discerning and immediately found an excuse to leave.
The rest of the little spies also consciously stood outside the door. Only Dai Chunfeng, Zhu Liuxian, Zuo Zhong, Xu Enzeng, Wu Chunyang, Gu Qi and others were left in the room. Everyone politely found a place to sit down.
The most embarrassing thing was Ji Boxian. He stood alone in the middle of the room, neither standing nor sitting. Especially when he saw Lin Yuan on the interrogation chair, a few drops of cold sweat slowly dripped from his forehead.
"Youguang, please sit down, Mr. Ji."
After Zuo Zhong poured a cup of hot water for Teacher Xianyuan and the old principal respectively, he glanced at the frightened Ji Boxian and said to Gui Youguang with a smile on his lips.
"Okay, passenger seat." Gui Youguang, who was wearing an oilcloth and a water-recumbent chair, touched his bare forehead, bared his teeth and stretched out his hand to drag Ji Boxian to another interrogation chair and push him in.
The bald man's attire does not look like a public servant, but rather like a butcher in a slaughterhouse. Coupled with the fierce expression and appearance, it is really a bit scary.
Ji Boxian was almost in tears, but he did not dare to resist. He could only lie down on the small table and shouted at Xu Enzeng: "Deputy Director Xu, Mr. Xu, this... this is different from what we said."
Now everyone looked at Mr. Xu with playful eyes, as if they suspected that Xu Enzeng had a tacit understanding with this underground traitor, or with the underground party. After all, this had happened more than once.
Xu Enzeng's scalp was numb and he slapped the table: "What nonsense? What did Xu say? I'm telling you, you'd better tell the truth and don't bite randomly. Did you hear that?"
Before he finished speaking, Zuo Zhong chuckled: "Okay, okay, Deputy Director Xu, what are you in a hurry for? You see, you scared Mr. Ji. Come on, Mr. Ji, ignore him. I am Zuo Zhong, Deputy Director of the Military Command."
As soon as he said this, Ji Boxian became even more frightened. The scene in Central Park yesterday was too confusing. He didn't know who this young agent was. Now that he heard that the other party was the murderous Zuo Zhong, he almost peeed in fear.
Zuo Zhong didn't know how much psychological shadow his name brought to this person. After introducing himself, he smiled and pointed to Lin Yuan next to him, directly stating the purpose of today's interrogation.
"Mr. Ji, this man next to you is no stranger to you. The reason for inviting you two here is to clarify one thing. Mr. Lin said that our military commander's insiders are Mr. Ji's people, and Mr. Ji, your confession is exactly the opposite.
So here comes the question, who of the two is lying? I hope you can tell the truth. I promise not to blame anyone. If you are worried, you can ask our Director Dai and Director Zhu. "
Dai Chunfeng nodded immediately and gave his guarantee: "Well, as long as you two can repent and make a clean break with the underground party, I will guarantee your life safety, otherwise."
Lao Dai looked at Lin and Ji with a sad look. His meaning was very clear. If they were dishonest, the military commander would have to use other means. It was not certain whether they would be able to survive by then.
"Yes, Mr. Ji, Mr. Lin, I, Zhu Liuxian, vouch for my reputation. If you tell the truth, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you." Zhu Liuxian also expressed his attitude at the right time.
"I said, I said!"
Lin Yuan didn't wait for Zhu Liu to finish speaking first, and immediately started to repeat what he had explained before. In and out of his words, he regretted joining the underground party and was willing to surrender to the military reunification and the fruit party.
At the end of the sentence, he cried bitterly. Not to mention the secret agents, even Ji Boxian was made to doubt his life by this scene. But thinking of the other party's scolding in Central Park, he quickly retorted.
"Sir, this kid is lying to you. Yesterday he asked me why I wanted to be a traitor. Listen, this is something only a die-hard would say. Please investigate clearly, sirs."
Ji Boxian stretched out his head and shouted excitedly to the people present. His eyes were bright red. People who didn't know it would have thought how wronged he had been.
As a result, Lin Yuan became even angrier and yelled at him: "Put it down, I'm obviously testing you to see if you brought anyone else to join me. I don't know why you stood up after hearing this.
I immediately spoke to remind the military commanders and even pressed you to the ground. Everyone saw this. Ji, if you want to put the blame on me, stop dreaming! "
Dai Chunfeng and Zhu Li first heard the words and looked at Zuo Zhong. Zuo Zhong nodded helplessly: "There was indeed a conversation between them, but they were too far away to monitor. The rest is the same as what Mr. Lin said."
No evidence can stand alone.
Although Zuo Zhong was very reliable in the eyes of the two directors, they did not listen to one side or the other. They turned their attention to Xu Enzeng's face, which looked ugly. Xu Enzeng could only tell the truth.
"Xu was also far away and didn't hear clearly what they were saying, but Mr. Ji..."
"Okay, Deputy Director Xu, just say yes and no. You don't have to explain to Ji Boxian. Don't forget that you are the deputy director of the party-state, not the Zheng Committee of the underground party."
Before Xu Enzeng could finish speaking, Zhu Liang said lightly to interrupt him. Even though this man spoke and acted like a scholar, he was unambiguous in general.
Just now these few words came out, Xu Enzeng was like yellow mud, and it was either shit or shit. If he said a few more words, maybe the dismissal and investigation order from the attendant's office would come.
Dai Chunfeng raised the corner of his mouth after witnessing this good show, and suddenly remembered the medicine again, and quickly asked Lin Yuan: "Mr. Lin, you stole the penicillin. You said that you had handed over the medicine to Mr. Ji, right?" ?"
"Yes."
Lin Yuan admitted frankly and took the initiative to add: "Ji Boxian told me at Nanjimen Tea House that the news of penicillin was leaked and asked me to steal the medicine as soon as possible to avoid being involved.
He also gave me the location and height of the freezer, and cooperated with me outside. I successfully took away the medicine, restored the scene, and then handed the medicine over at Chuqimen. "
"Lie! You're lying!"
Ji Boxian couldn't bear it anymore, he broke free from the control of the little agent behind him and let out a roar. After roaring, he seemed to have thought of something, and stared at Xu Enzeng with hopeful eyes.
"Deputy Director Xu, you were present at the two meetings between the teahouse and Chu Qimen. I was the mole who inquired about the military commander for you, and I was definitely not reporting the leakage of penicillin or obtaining the medicine.
You must testify for me that I was wronged. Don’t forget that without me, the Central Committee would not be able to know the secrets of the northwest intelligence system. I sincerely want to serve the party and the state. "
"Well..."
When Xu Enzeng heard the word "testify", the instinct of party officials to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages automatically activated. He laughed dryly twice and looked at Dai Chunfeng and Zhu Liuxian, throwing away all his responsibilities.
"At that time, Xu wanted to find more underground gangs through this Lin Yuan, and he indeed arranged operatives around, but because he was worried about being discovered by the other party, the personnel stayed far away.
Therefore, what Mr. Ji and Mr. Lin said during the two meetings was all dictated by Mr. Ji when he came back. I am not sure whether there were any mistakes or concealments.
As for whether Mr. Lin gave Mr. Ji penicillin, I don't know. When we were at Chuqimen, the man named Lin was very professional and carried his back to block all surveillance views.
Moreover, Mr. Ji surrendered to the government on his own initiative. According to past rules, we are not allowed to search him at will. This was the case during the Secret Service Headquarters. This is to prevent personnel from getting resentful anyway. "
After shirking the responsibility and placing himself in an invincible position, Xu Enzeng changed the subject again before Ji Boxian could raise his doubts, wanting to use other evidence to prove Ji Boxian's reliability.
"However, Mr. Ji has not been to other places these days except for meeting and resting at his residence. If the penicillin is really taken away by him, he can only hide it in his residence.
Just a search can prove Mr. Ji's innocence. I am willing to lead the team myself. In addition, Xu would like to advise Mr. Lin that what is false is false and cannot be true. Don't make mistakes. "
Xu Enzeng is really smart. Perhaps he was tricked by the previous intelligence section chiefs. Now when encountering something, his first reaction is to pick himself out first and highlight one word, "stable".
Ji Boxian was overjoyed when he heard the screening method he proposed and hurriedly agreed. Lin Yuan looked indifferent and left the decision-making power in Zuo Zhong's hands.
At this, Zuo Zhong raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "What if the penicillin is taken away by you, Deputy Director Xu? Who knows if you have any secret cooperation with the underground party."
"you!"
Xu Enzeng was furious. He stood up and raised three fingers and swore: "If I, Xu Enzeng, have anything to do with the underground party, I will be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky and I will die miserably!"
"Okay, Shen Zhi, don't say anything that undermines unity. Let's go search Mr. Ji's residence first. Treat it as a routine inspection. We will send people together to prevent fraud."
Zhu Liuxian on the side smiled and persuaded, after all, Xu Enzeng is also a member of the Central Military Commission. As the director, he must speak out, otherwise the people below him will inevitably be disappointed. This is the principle.
Zuo Zhong heard the old principal come forward and saw Dai Chunfeng nodding slightly. He turned around and ordered Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang: "You two accompany Deputy Director Xu. Watch carefully. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang accurately grasped the three words "watch closely". After responding to the order, they took Xu Enzeng, who was furious, to the left and right, and followed him out of the interrogation room as if they were watching a thief.
