My spy diary

Chapter 411: Stealing a Chicken but Losing the Rice (Happy New Year)
"Don't move. If you move, you'll die. Get out of the car."

Secretary Guo was suddenly shocked and looked as pale as death.

"Why are you arresting people?"

"What do you say?"

"How should I know? You are from the Second Department? Do you know that?" After being shocked, Secretary Guo began to struggle hard and refused to give in.

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped on the mouth. He took a few breaths in pain.
"I'm Director Xu's secretary. Do you want to start a war with the first and second departments if you dare to arrest me?"

"You?" Qian Xiaosan sneered, "Cuff him and shut his stinky mouth."

"What are you doing? Woo woo." Secretary Guo was anxious. Just as he yelled, a plainclothes officer pulled off his sweaty socks and stuffed them directly into his mouth. Then he was dragged to Zhang Yi's house like a dead dog.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a corpse lying on the ground with blood gushing out. The sofa and table had been moved to the wall, leaving a empty space in the middle.

There were three chairs on the ground. The killers he hired were sitting on two of them, trembling all over. Next to them were a dozen plainclothes officers from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, who were strung together like candied haws. They had bruised noses and swollen eyes and were lying on the ground groaning.

"It's over, it's over." Secretary Guo thought in horror and wanted to say something, but his mouth was blocked by the smelly socks and he couldn't speak at all.

Where is Zhang Yi?
Secretary Guo was pressed on the third chair. He looked around and found Zhang Yi standing by the window with his hands behind his back, looking outside. His face showed no emotion.

"Tell me about it, Secretary Guo."

"Let you speak."

Qian Xiaosan slapped him hard, then pulled the socks out of his mouth with a look of disgust.

".I want to see Director Xu." Secretary Guo, who had just taken off his socks, moved his stiff face and immediately yelled.

"I hope you'll think it over before you answer. You only have one chance."

Zhang Yi was still standing by the window, but as soon as he finished speaking, Qian Xiaosan came over quickly and kicked Secretary Guo with such force that he fell to the ground with a bang along with the chair. Secretary Guo's head hit the floor heavily.

"Say it again."

At this moment, Secretary Guo was lying on the ground in a panic, saying in agony: "I... The Central Bureau of Investigation received a tip-off that three underground party members had been found. I followed orders..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yi waved his hand again. He couldn't help but tremble all over and shrank his head in fear.

But this time no one beat him. Two plainclothes officers guarding the murder duo took the rags off Huo Jin and Huo Yin's mouths.

"Sir, it was this bastard Guo who found us, gave us a Mauser pistol, showed us your photo, and your home address, and asked us to kill you."

"We were blinded by lard. You should know that you are from the Military Control Commission. You would not dare to do that even if you kill us."

"Woo woo woo, sir, he even gave us money to go to the brothel."

"Secretary Guo, what do you say?"

Zhang Yi walked over from the window and slowly stood in front of Secretary Guo.

". False accusation. I don't know these three people at all. Deputy Director Zhang, they are Red Party members. You can't just listen to their one-sided story. You have no right to interrogate me. I want to see Director Xu."

A moment of silence.

Just when Secretary Guo was feeling anxious, he suddenly heard a "click" sound behind him, and then a monkey stepped on his hand with a sneer.

He looked up with great pain, and saw the monkey holding a pair of pliers in his hand: "We gave you a chance, but you didn't want it. So we have to torture you."

"What do you want to do."

The torture began.

The pliers clamped Secretary Guo's nails tightly, and then slowly pulled them out by the roots. Because the pulling speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, the sharp pain tortured Secretary Guo and made him scream like a ghost again and again.

Ten fingers connected to the heart.

Secretary Guo was tortured to death.

"I'll tell you everything."

Secretary Guo burst into tears. When the pliers clamped his second finger, his psychological defenses completely collapsed. His eyes were filled with fear and despair, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Although I despised my own weakness in my heart, I could not resist the instinctive desire to survive.

At this moment, the thought of saving his life took over, and all loyalty and punishment were thrown out of his mind. He just wanted to end this terrible torture.

"Go ahead."

"It was Director Xu. He was afraid that if the military intelligence officers continued to investigate, it would lead to a bigger scandal. He said, 'Family disgrace should not be made public. We will investigate the internal traitor ourselves.' He also said that he suspected that Deputy Director Zhang was a member of the Red Party, no, a dissident."

"Oh, what's the reason?"

"He said that Deputy Director Zhang has no wife, no girlfriend, and does not visit brothels. This is totally the style of the Red Party."

After hearing this, Monkey, Qian Xiaosan and others were stunned and looked at each other. Isn't this reason too ridiculous?
Zhang Yi had a blank expression on his face and sneered, "So, I'm going to marry a traitor to the Red Party like Xu Zengen did?"

"In short, Director Xu suspected you, so he asked me to find three assassins from the underworld to disguise as the Red Party to assassinate you, and then kill three birds with one stone."

Secretary Guo spoke intermittently, and a monkey on the side acted as a recorder to record. On the other side, a wire recorder was turning silently.

"See if it is consistent with your confession. If it is consistent, sign and seal it."

Secretary Guo signed his name without even looking at it, put his fingerprint on it, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Can I leave now?"

"What do you think?"

"I"

As they were talking, the phone in the living room was taken away.

Xu Zengen returned home after receiving a call from his wife. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife waiting for him.

He asked depressedly: "What kind of friend? You are being so mysterious. I have a lot of things to do here."

"The man introduced by President Wang's wife at the mahjong table just now, although he is a local rich man, he is very generous."

The wife took off a pair of bracelets from her wrist and said, "This is a gift from someone. They are made of jadeite and are said to have been used by the Empress Dowager Cixi. They are exactly the same as the pair that Mrs. Kong wears."

Xu Zengen glanced at them twice, frowned and said, "What do you mean the ones used by the Empress Dowager Cixi? The pair that belonged to Mrs. Kong were given by Sun Dianying. They were obtained by blasting open Cixi's tomb with dynamite. They were imperial things. How could a country rich man like him have them?" Sun Dianying was a tyrant who was accustomed to changing his attitude according to the situation and rising with the times. In order to speculate in politics and obtain an official title from Chang, he went to Nanjing for an audience with the emperor in early August 37, bringing a large number of gifts.

The first person he looked for was Dai Chunfeng, and presented him with all the rare treasures he had with him, asking Boss Dai to give the gifts to Mr. Chang, Mrs. Song, Mr. He, Minister Song and others.

The most precious treasure was a night-shining pearl, which was taken out of Cixi's mouth and presented to Mrs. Song.

Another treasure is the pillow used by Cixi in the tomb, called Jade Watermelon, which was presented to Minister Song.

When Minister Kong and his wife saw the treasures of the Soong sisters, they were extremely jealous and resentful. They put aside their grudges and immediately asked Sun Dianying for them through Boss Dai.

Sun Dianying then selected two strings of gems from the court's boots and presented them to him, and the matter was finally settled.

Xu Zengen had heard about this matter and was extremely jealous, but the matter was done by Dai Chunfeng, and he had no authority to control Sun Dianying, so he could only secretly resent him in his heart.

"Maybe it leaked out of the palace and was dug up in the countryside. At least it's in pretty good condition."

Xu Zengen remained noncommittal. The treasures and official porcelains in the palace were exclusively for use by the royal court, representing the dignity and authority of the royal family. "Common people were not allowed to use them." How could a local rich man in the countryside have them?

Seeing his unhappy expression, his wife said, "He's carrying a suitcase that looks very heavy. Whatever it is, you should meet him first."

Xu Zengen frowned and caught a glimpse of an uneasy couple standing in the living room. When they saw him come back, they immediately looked at him with a flattering smile.

He looked from head to toe, then sat on the sofa. After a long while, he asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Master Xu, please save my son." Upon hearing him speak, the couple fell to their knees and burst into tears.

"Who is your son?"

"Su Qiwen." The man cried, "Qiwen is just a nerd. He was bewitched by that vixen and wrote to her. But he has always been conscientious and loyal to the country and Lord Xu. He is definitely not a red bandit."

"Oh, this is a case of the Military Control Commission. The evidence is irrefutable. I am also in a dilemma."

"After all, he is a member of the Central Bureau of Investigation. No matter what crime he committed, he should be sent to the Central Bureau of Investigation and dealt with by you, Lord Xu."

The man cried as he crawled to the table, put the suitcase he brought in front of Xu Zengen, and opened it. On the left was the gold bars, and on the right were US dollars and British pounds. "As long as you can help loosen it up and save my son's life, everything will be fine. In addition to these, I have already sold my family's land and shops. I will send you more money as soon as I get the money."

Xu Zengen suppressed his joy and said calmly, "As a parent, you should still understand this painstaking effort."

Then he sighed indignantly: "The people in the Military Control Commission have always been unruly and lawless, and they like to make a big fuss. It's not surprising that they make random accusations like this."

As he spoke, he took a sip of the tea and said slowly, "I'll think of a way. You guys should get up quickly."

Then he called the servant: "Bring tea."

Although Su's father was a local rich man, he still knew the principle of serving tea to guests. He didn't dare to drink the Xu family's tea. He hurriedly stood up, bowed to the couple, said a few nice words, and then left with many thanks.

Mrs. Xu was quite proud of herself for facilitating this meeting. At this moment, she took a bowl of bird's nest from the servant, sipped it, and asked curiously:
"Is this Su Qiwen really communicating with the Red Party? I heard that he betrayed someone, and that person committed suicide by jumping off a building?"

"If he's dead, he's dead. It'll save us some trouble." Xu Zengen said nonchalantly as he played with the gold bars in the box.

After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and prepared to call his secretary to ask him to ask the Military Control Commission for the person.

Secretary Su's matter can be big or small, and he should clean up the mess himself, not the Military Control Commission.

However, just as he picked up the phone, he remembered that Secretary Guo was out on business tonight, so he had to put the phone down and wait until the next day. Perhaps after his plan was successful, the matter would be easier to handle.

But just as he put down the phone, it rang again.

"Hey?"

"Boss, it's me. Everything is going well. Zhang Yi has been killed, and the three fake Red Party members have also been shot dead by us. Now we are sending people to search their homes. Everything is in line with your plan. What do you think is the next step?"

Xu Zengen hesitated. He heard a hint of excitement, nervousness, or fear, that was hard to conceal in Secretary Guo's voice, and he couldn't help but frown.

Secretary Guo has always been cautious. Can such things be discussed over the phone?

While thinking, he did not give a direct answer, but asked sternly: "Where are you now?"

"I" The other end of the phone heard a sound of swallowing saliva, and then said: "I am at Zhang Yi's house, organizing a search."

"Is the call from Zhang Yi's house?"

"Yes."

"Asshole, didn't you say today that you received a tip-off about arresting the Reds? Why did you go to the home of Deputy Director Zhang of the Military Control Commission?" Xu Zengen suddenly changed his tone and started scolding.

"Isn't this the plan you devised to kill three birds with one stone? I am following your orders."

"Nonsense, when did I ever give such an order? Secretary Guo, Secretary Guo, I trusted you in vain. I just asked you to verify the clues of the Red Party. What did you do behind my back?" Xu Zengen scolded bitterly, and then said after a pause: "No matter what you did, just wait here."

After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately.

"What happened?" Seeing her husband so angry, the wife asked with concern.

"Stealing a chicken but losing the rice is just what Secretary Guo said."

Xu Zengen looked gloomy, and as if he had thought of something, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number, commanding:
"You go to Secretary Guo's house right now and take his wife and children into custody. Where should you hide them? Nonsense, find a safe house that no one knows about.
By the way, I remember his child had a longevity lock on his neck. Just understand. Also, turn his home into a Red Party den and execute it immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zengen finally relaxed and leaned back on the sofa to take a breath. Then he glanced at the gold dollars in front of him and said to his wife, "Send the things to Chen's house later."

"This"

"Don't be reluctant, go right away." Xu Zengen sighed, stood up, put on his coat, and hurried out.

"Bang". Secretary Guo hung up the phone, still a little dazed. Xu Zengen's words were like a blow to him. He wanted to induce a confession, but was discovered by the cunning old man.

He looked at Zhang Yi anxiously: "Deputy Director Zhang, I didn't expect this to happen."

"Old people are always wiser!" Zhang Yi sighed, neither sad nor happy. He had originally been trying to get a confession from Xu Zengen. It would be best if he could get a "confession" from him, but he would not be disappointed if he couldn't. He was actually very curious about how Xu Zengen would continue this scene.

The clock on the wall was ticking, making Secretary Guo extremely anxious.

At this moment, he couldn't believe what was waiting for him. After betraying the Central Bureau of Investigation, did he still have a chance to survive?

But he didn't do as Zhang Yi said. He really couldn't bear the torture. It was really painful!
At this moment, he was crawling on the ground, trembling all over. He couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart that he was really not cut out to be a spy. His regret and annoyance were beyond words.

As he was thinking anxiously, the sound of the clock on the wall was like a death note. Suddenly, a sudden brake sound was heard outside the door, and Secretary Guo subconsciously shuddered.

It's the new year again, time flies by so fast. I wish all my book friends a happy new year in advance, and may everything go well, and may you become rich in the new year!
