Opening game, American Tycoon

Chapter 1220
In the corridor, footsteps echoed.

Finally coming to that door, Feng Jinglun took a deep breath and knocked on that door, and after hearing a cheerful "come in" answer, he walked in.

Qian Zizhuang, the head of the Imperial Investigation Department, was alone in his office, sitting in that important leather swivel chair behind his important desk.He was flipping through the documents carefully, and there was a little steam in the teacup on the table.

"minister."

"sit"

After sitting down, Feng Jinglun wondered anxiously whether he had done something wrong to be called to the minister's office.

The answer is that he did nothing wrong.

"Director Feng, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore,"

After closing the documents in his hand, Qian Zizhuang stared at Feng Jinglun and said.

"Now there is a task for someone more mature and experienced. I want you to take it on."

"Yes."

Nodding his head, Feng Jinglun seemed to have understood.In fact, he didn't understand, because he didn't know what the mission was at all.

"I think you should know that last year, the UK established an intelligence agency directly under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We believe that some of the visiting guests in our country are senior foreign officials. Some of them are probably spies. for example……"

Passing the document to Feng Jinglun, Qian Zizhuang said.

"This Mr. Lawrence is the new First Class Counselor of the British Embassy. According to the information we have, he is a lieutenant colonel in the army. He was sent to Egypt in 1877. After that, there was nothing...you know? Blank .”

Looking up at Feng Jinglun, Qian Zizhuang reminded.

"Of course, it's not really a blank. On the surface, he continued to serve in the military after returning to China, and then retired, but after retiring, he seems to have entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but according to our intelligence, there is no information about him after 1878, so This person is suspicious."

"Yes, it is indeed suspicious."

Feng Jinglun said.

"So? I need you to keep an eye on him."

Qian Zizhuang thought for a while and said.

"We all know that people, especially a guy like him without a wife, would want to have fun... entertaining. Do you understand?"

Feng Jinglun nodded again.It couldn't be more clear, man.

"They like to have female companions, the paid ones, which are prostitutes."

"Indeed."

Although the Imperial Investigation Bureau does not seem to be responsible for internal security affairs, Feng Jinglun's duty is to coordinate domestic security work with the Imperial Security Bureau.

"This kind of thing is very common, and here is no exception. The Security Bureau has some special partners who provide similar services. We have obtained a lot of information through this channel."

In fact, it is manipulating prostitutes. This is a very normal thing in intelligence work, but the Security Bureau does not directly manipulate, but uses some partners to obtain some information through call girls, such as information on the personal habits of diplomats, and even Sometimes, they will work with the investigation department to create so-called "traps", that is, "immortal jumps" to develop some personnel.These things are certainly shady, but they are an integral part of intelligence work.

After all, man...

Looking at Feng Jinglun, Qian Zizhuang said.

"I hope you can get some information from him through this channel. First, we need to figure out his identity. Second, see if there is any chance to develop him into a double agent."

He took the folder and stood up. When Feng Jinglun left the office, he thought in his heart: How can a person who has served the British Empire loyally for more than 20 years develop him into a double agent?

……

Secret wars between empires in peacetime are invisible. For the vast majority of ordinary people, they don't even know that there is such a thing as "dark war" in this world, and they don't even know what spies are like. Careers are real.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, they are just living the ordinary lives of ordinary people, and the changes in the outside world have nothing to do with them.

Even the people in it didn't have any awareness. As the owner of the mine, Luo Yuan never knew what kind of incident he and his mine were involved in.

For him, the incident in Ecuador was just an accident, let alone for him, except for a few planners, it was just an accident.

A group of robbers took advantage of the money, robbed and killed the accountant of the mine.

Everything that followed was a matter of course. The embassy came forward immediately after getting the news, not only forcing the Ecuadorian government to compensate for the losses, but also took the opportunity to sign a new treaty and dispatch troops to protect the road.

Of course, Accountant Xu’s revenge was also avenged—the local robbers were wiped out, and even some robbers were afraid of getting into trouble, and offered to help arrest those robbers, kill them and hand them over to the authorities. In a word, even robbers know who can If you mess with someone, you can't mess with anyone.

But what about Accountant Xu's family?
35000 yuan.

This is compensation for Accountant Xu's family. This money is enough for his family to live a prosperous life. If they buy the company's stock, the annual dividends are enough for them to live their whole life.

But it can't make up for the pain of losing their family members.

After all, the wife has lost her husband, and the child has lost her father.

After attending Accountant Xu's funeral, Luo Yuan, feeling a little heavy, went to a nearby tavern and had a drink.

"Damn it, maybe it was wrong in the first place..."

Luo Yuan, who was drinking heavily, thought in a sullen way that he drank a few more sips of wine, and then lit a cigarette.

"Maybe, I shouldn't be in this business at all, otherwise, no one would die because of me..."

Everyone has their own knots in their hearts. For Luo Yuan, he has his own knots. After drinking a few glasses of wine, his mood seems to be a little lighter. Maybe he will complain and regret it, but what to do He will still do what he wants to do anyway, and he will still return to Ecuador, return to his mine, and continue to engage in the mining industry.

After he left the tavern, he took a taxi directly to the train station. While waiting for the train, Luo Yuan bought a newspaper from the newsstand. When he was reading the newspaper, there was a piece of news in the evening paper that was unclear. The title was printed at nine o'clock, and it said the Amazon Expedition Team, which was an expedition team organized by Yingtian University students. They explored the Amazon region along the Amazon River.

Luo Yuan didn't know how to evaluate the behavior of the college students at all, and he couldn't understand why the newspapers were full of bragging. In his opinion, these people were simply...fed, otherwise How could you go to the Amazon rainforest with nothing to do?

What else is there besides poisonous snakes and beasts?
At most, there are some rubber trees. In the past days, the Aboriginal Affairs Office of the empire helped many aboriginals enter the modern society in that rainforest. By planting rubber, palm trees, coffee and other tropical crops, the Tens of thousands of Aboriginal people have not only entered modern society, but have also been lifted out of poverty.Of course, this is also one of the symbols that Chinese civilization is superior to European civilization.

But where would those college students find out?And the headline of the news is:
New iron deposits discovered in the Amazon.
