Zuo Zhong noticed something was wrong with Dai Chunfeng. Before he had time to think about the reason, he saw Lao Dai touching the suitcase between the two of them and asked curiously.
"Shen Zhong, does this contain evidence that Yan Baichuan made peace with the Japanese?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Zuo Zhong opened the box with the key he carried with him, took out a wire tape and several documents and replied.
"Yes, this is a negotiation tape recorded by the Japanese using monitoring equipment, as well as a traitorous agreement signed by Li Fengzhou and Juade Town."
After speaking, he paused and asked two questions: "Teacher, did Li Fengzhou and Jiadezhen run away? After the operation, the Jin army lost news.
Also, how should these evidences be handled and used? Do we need our people in the Second War Zone Commander's Department to send a letter to Yan Baichuan to remind him. "
Dai Chunfeng flipped through the evidence casually, his eyes rested on the agreement signed by the Jin army representative for a few seconds, and he nodded lightly.
"Yes, I just received news that someone saw Li Fengzhou and Juade Town in Southeast Asia. They were probably frightened by your actions and rented a boat to escape.
These old guys can't do anything else. They just want to escape Shuiping. Forget it, they're just a bunch of bereaved dogs. Don't pay attention to them.
How to deal with Yan Baichuan is beyond your control. I will forward these things to the attendant's room and wait for the commission's decision. This will take time.
But the punishment will not be too severe, otherwise Chief Li and Chief Bai will have objections. This is not a simple military issue, but also a real political issue. "
Lao Dai did not hide anything and directly stated his speculation. This matter is easy to understand. They are all warlords. If the Jin army is gone, the Gui clan will inevitably die.
This is very unfavorable to the overall situation of the war against Japan, so the government will definitely lift up Yan Baichuan and put it down gently, at least not in the near future.
To put it simply, as long as the Jin army did not surrender, everything could be discussed. Zuo Zhong looked out the window at the revolving street scene and fell into silence, and did not speak for a long time.
More than ten minutes later.
The motorcade drove into No. 29 Luojiawan. Dai Chunfeng and Zuo Zhong got off the bus together. Wu Chunyang, Wu Jingzhong and Gui Youguang followed behind them and walked into the office building under the watch of a group of spies.
The deputy director is back!
Soon, the two deputy directors, Zheng Tingbing and Zhang Yifu, and the chief secretary, Li Qiwu, received reports from their own eyes and ears, and the three people had different reactions.
Zheng and Zhang had no direct conflict with Zuo Zhong, especially since Zheng Tingbing had performed missions with Zuo Zhong and had a good relationship. They were quite happy to learn about this.
Li Qiwu was different. Ever since he entered the Secret Service, he had been tricked by Zuo Chong several times. The conflict between the two sides had become very acute. Maybe this was like repelling like?
When he heard that Zuo Zhong had returned safely, he hung up the phone angrily, sat in the office with a gloomy expression, and secretly cursed the Japanese for being such trash.
Although I didn't know the content of the mission the other party was performing, it must have something to do with the Japanese. I originally thought it would bring some trouble to Zuo Zhong, but it turned out that the person named Zuo didn't even lose a hair.
But this is only temporary. The higher-ups want to launch an anti-corruption campaign in the military, and he has already revealed the news that Zuo Zhong is responsible for this matter.
It's okay for Zuo Zhong to stay in the mountain city. Once he goes to the front line, he will be shot. It may also be artillery shells, explosive packs, and grenades. In short, those division commanders, corps commanders, and commanders are not easy to mess with.
Not to mention agricultural products such as wood, grain, and tung oil, even strategic materials such as tungsten sand were sold to the Japanese by these bold and profit-seeking guys.
This is a serious act of aiding the enemy. If Zuo Zhong does not investigate, he will be derelict in his duty. If he investigates, he will be against the military, and there will be no good end in any case.
Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. The military leaders will definitely not wait for death and will definitely let Zuo Chong see their "enthusiasm".
Thinking of this, Li Qiwu showed a ferocious smile, lit a cigar, put it in his mouth, leaned on the chair and took a puff.
Once Zuo Zhong stumbles on this matter, he can ride on the wind and maybe replace him as deputy director.
"Dingling bell~~~"
The phone on the table suddenly rang. Li Qiwu put down his cigar, picked up the phone and put it to his ear. The next second he stood up immediately and kept saying yes.
After hanging up the phone, he straightened his clothes and went out to Dai Chunfeng's office, secretly guessing the reason why the other party met him.
At the same time that Li Qiwu was summoned by Lao Dai, Zuo Zhong also met with the heads of the first and second offices in his office, except for one Gui Youguang.
In this operation, the big bald man not only had to perform intelligence tasks, but also performed bodyguard duties. It was indeed a great achievement for his hard work, so Zuo Zhong drove him directly back to the dormitory to rest.
As a human being, you can't learn from the British. If you find something useful, you will use it to death. That will make you have no friends. The landlord's donkey can't stand such manipulation.
Besides, Wu Chunyang, Wu Jingzhong, Gu Qi, and Song Minghao stood in a row and gave a standard military salute as soon as they entered the deputy director's office.
"Vice seat."
Next to him, He Yijun walked in from the outside with tea. After putting the tea down, he immediately turned around and left, closing the door softly.
"Haha, my brother, you're welcome, sit down."
Zuo Daodao Jin┴ was sitting on the main seat of the sofa in the reception area. He smiled and asked everyone to sit down and talk without any airs of being a deputy director.
If a leader has to show off in front of his direct subordinates, he will undoubtedly fail. Such a leader without charisma will not last long.
The four people in Wu Chunyang felt relieved and sat down respectively, and then began to report on the work progress of Division One and Division Two during Zuo Zhong's departure from the mountain city.
After more than a year of hard work, the intelligence system of the military command is now running well, and there have been no recent problems with regional stations and intelligence networks.
Even several intelligence stations in Shanghai District, Jinling District and the original Jinling District recovered quickly after reconstruction, and the situation is excellent.
However, as the Sino-Japanese War fell into a stalemate, and the fear of national subjugation was temporarily eliminated, many military leaders returned to their old ways, and the number of people who drank soldiers' blood and ate empty pay gradually increased.
Not only that, these people also participated in the smuggling of in-demand materials and even took advantage of the convenience of garrison to transport smoke to the Kuomintang-controlled areas.
For example, the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone stationed in southern Jiangsu Province, southern Hui Province, Zhejiang Province, and Fujian Province has been stocking up on food, cotton, and seafood since the beginning of the year.
And he knew very well that it was difficult to gain weight by eating alone. In addition to making a fortune himself, he also brought the entire war zone commander to make money together, and lived a very luxurious life.
The commander-in-chief took the lead in marrying a famous Peking opera actor, and his chief of staff and director of the intelligence office also hired one or two wives who were educated in bookstores.
If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the battle can be won with such an army. What a dream!
In addition, in Quanjiao and Dingyuan areas of Hui Province controlled by the 11th Army of the New Guangxi Group, the tobacco planting area reached more than 50,000 acres, which caused the local tobacco poisoning to become epidemic and food production to drop sharply.
What is even more outrageous is that despite the serious food shortage in the local area, a large amount of food was smuggled into the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops by the military. According to military statistics, the amount was no less than five million tons.
This is still only the third war zone. The situation in other war zones is not optimistic either. The entire Kuomintang-controlled area is full of chaos and people's resentment is boiling.
After roughly introducing the current situation, Gu Qi, as a representative, expressed his concerns to Zuo Zhong without any worry.
"Deputy Commander, should we go up to the top to respond? If we continue like this, the frontline troops will be distraught before the Japanese attack.
Moreover, a large number of Japanese and puppet spies were mixed among those smugglers, the intelligence in each war zone was seriously lost, and the situation was almost out of control. "
As the director of the Second Division specializing in counterintelligence, he doesn't care about smuggling and who has a mistress. What he cares about is the espionage behind the smuggling.
There is a saying that goes against someone who is short-handed and soft-spoken.
Trading with the enemy is tantamount to suicide. These black income are poison wrapped in honey. The more you eat, the faster you will die.
Zuo Zhong, who was next to him, finished digesting the information at this time, and his heart did not fluctuate at all, because these things had always existed and everyone in the government was aware of it.
Someone even said that the several battlefields that suffered disastrous defeats after the war were all close to enemy areas and convenient for smuggling. In these places, the Japanese could kill the Japanese without using much force!
But so what, sixteen years after the Republic of China, the Guojun turned into a feudal warlord force, and the officers were actually a group of politicians rather than soldiers.
The troops in their hands are their private property and a guarantee of their status and wealth.
Therefore, they need a large amount of black income and expand the force at their hands as much as possible in order to further improve their status and increase their wealth.
Under such a vicious cycle, it is strange that the combat effectiveness of the Guo army is high. Defeat again and again on the battlefield is an inevitable result.
In the early days of the war, under the influence of patriotic enthusiasm, these people had restrained themselves. Now that they have lost the Sword of Damocles above their heads, their behavior has become more and more rampant, and they make money without restraint.
In fact, someone knows everything, but he can't prescribe any good medicine to save the fruit party. He can only watch the fruit party rot little by little and be sucked by a group of leeches.
This is not only his personal tragedy, but also the tragedy of the country. This organization is rotten to the core, and no one can do anything about it.
Zuo Zhong felt calm in his heart. On the surface, he sighed deeply and pretended to be worried and said to everyone.
"Yes, if things go on like this, the country will be destroyed. As the eyes and ears of the committee, we have the responsibility to report this matter to the top."
After hearing this, everyone straightened their backs and prepared to take the initiative to ask Ying to take charge of the relevant investigation work, but Zuo Zhong immediately changed the topic and took a turn.
"But, the bureau chief is going to leave the anti-corruption matter in the general to Li Qiwu. If we don't bother the two leaders, let's not bother ourselves and let him investigate.
At most, after his investigation is over, you can add some secret information and materials. You are all colleagues in the same bureau, so doing so is also a way of helping others. "
Wu Chunyang and others looked strange, knowing that the deputy chairperson was trying to trick someone again, but they were not related to Li Qiwu, so they could go to hell with him.
Seeing that his subordinates had no objections, Zuo Zhong showed a kind smile, picked up the tea cup, used the cup lid to skim the tea leaves, and talked about another matter lightly.
"I asked you to check Xing Hanliang's residence and office before, and whether you found any suspicious items."
Xing Hanliang.
Everyone hesitated when they heard the name. The other party was a good friend of the deputy chairperson. They were very embarrassed about how to deal with this matter.
Check it carefully. You are afraid of being judged by others, so just do it perfunctorily. It is also your duty.
Xing Hanliang is a police officer. According to the national government's division of labor among intelligence agencies, the police system is under the responsibility of the military, specifically the Second Division.
Gu Qi scratched his forehead with 1/5 of his hair left, smiled wryly and nodded to Song Minghao, deputy director of the Second Division, motioning for him to introduce the situation.
After receiving the hint, Song Minghao pondered for a moment, carefully glanced at Zuo Zhong, the chairperson, and began to report after deliberation.
"Deputy, after learning that Chief Xing was missing at the airport, we sent people to his residence, office, and places he frequented daily.
But these places have been searched by the Central Government, so no valuable clues have been found yet. I think it is debatable whether the other party is really rebelling. "
He spoke very skillfully, calling Xing Hanliang Sheriff Xing, describing defection as a disappearance, and also questioned the nature of the case.
Because regardless of whether Xing Hanliang defected or not, the Second Division must handle the matter in a low-key manner to reduce the impact of the matter on Zuo Chong.
A good friend of the deputy director of the military command had defected. It would not be nice to tell anyone about it. As a subordinate, he must help his superiors solve their problems.
Sure enough, after Song Minghao finished speaking, the smile on Zuo Zhong's face became brighter, he raised his finger and pointed at him and said kindly.
"Old Song, yes, we must be rigorous in our intelligence work, and we must rule out all possibilities when handling cases. We cannot follow others' opinions.
I think your opinions are very constructive. We need to be cautious about Xing Hanliang. Human life is at stake, and the issue of police morale cannot be ignored.
If it is not handled properly, it will easily lead to conflict with the police system. If this affects the stability of the mountain city, then you and I will never redeem ourselves. "
Everyone present was smart. As soon as they heard this, they guessed the deputy seat's intention. Wu Chunyang immediately stood up and made a guarantee.
"Yes, Deputy, I will contact Bai Wenzhi immediately and ask him to be "wary" of the police officers' troublemaking behavior and ensure the stability of the mountain city."
"Hahahaha, that's good."
Zuo Zhong laughed heartily, patted the armrest of the sofa happily, raised his right hand and looked at his watch, stood up and said something to everyone.
"Chunyang, Lao Wu, you two go to Lao Bai to catch up on old times. I heard that this guy has made a lot of money recently. With so much money, we have to help Huahua.
After finishing the work, I took a look at Xu Enzeng's movements. He never showed up when he was in Zhongtong. I was worried that this old boy was holding back some bad water.
As for Lao Gu, you and Lao Song accompany me to Xing Hanliang's residence and office to see if there are any missed clues. Okay, let's go together. "
"yes!"
Everyone replied loudly, and then split up according to the order. Gu Qi and Song Minghao followed Zuo Zhong towards the parking lot.
When they reached the stairs, the three of them happened to see Li Qiwu, who was in a state of despair, walking down the stairs. He looked like his mother had died.
It seemed that Lao Dai had handed over the glorious and arduous task to the other party. Zuo Zhong walked out of the building with a smile on his lips.
