My spy diary

Chapter 417 Doubt (asking for monthly ticket)
"bang bang bang"

The fire at the city gate affected everyone in the alley, and there was fighting at all ends of the alley. The broker Lao Liu and his two companions in the middle position were the first to bear the brunt and were attacked from both sides.

Lao Liu and an attendant were shot dead one after another. The remaining man had a bullet piercing his thigh. He was crawling on the ground, grimacing in pain.

"Captain Zhao, is that you?"

A man in the inspection room at the alley heard this and immediately asked, "Ma Yonggang?"

"Yes, it's me."

After confirming that it was his informant, "Commander Zhao" immediately wanted to rush up and pull him back.

He took off his top hat, pointed the muzzle of the gun at it, and quickly reached out to the corner.

The person on the other side saw a top hat being stretched out, so he raised his hand and fired a shot. With a "bang", "Commander Zhao's" top hat was blown away.

"Commander Zhao" shrank back and hid in the corner, still feeling frightened.

"Suppressive fire."

Amid the continuous gunfire, "Commander Zhao" rushed out in one go, grabbed the informant's wrist tightly, and dragged him out of the shooting range, brushing against the bullets.

The informant was shot again in the waist, bleeding profusely, and his face turned pale.

"Chief Zhao" pressed his wound tightly with one hand: "What's going on?"

The informant's lips trembled, and he shivered for a long time before he said:
"The seller didn't come."

"Chief Zhao" was stunned, as if he had thought of something, and looked down at the informant and said bluntly:
"Brother, your kidney has been shot through. I don't think you can survive. Do you have any last words?"

My informant's face was as pale as paper and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Don't worry, I will take care of your family."

"Commander Zhao" paused, said something calmly, then gritted his teeth, put the muzzle of the gun against the informant's chest, closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

After sending the informant away, he immediately went back to the main group and found Mao Qiwu: "Director Mao, something seems to be wrong."

Mao Qiwu had a blank expression on his face and sniffed: "What's wrong?"

"The seller didn't come. The people on the other side shouldn't be Red Party members. The gunshots are not right. The guns they use are the same as ours, Browning and Mauser pistols. The weapons of the underground party have always been mixed."

Mao Qiwu was stunned. The other side was also using standard weapons, which meant they were undoubtedly the bastards from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. How could they appear here?

There were too many questions in his mind. He thought for a while, looked at "Chief Zhao" and said, "Team Leader Zhao, go and tell them to stop firing immediately."

Team leader Zhao was shocked. Bullets have no eyes. The bastards from the Central Bureau of Investigation are hiding in the dark and are so cruel. What if...
"Ok?"

While he was hesitating, Mao Qi snorted and stared at him. He had to pretend to be calm and said:

"Yes."

"Is the guy opposite me from the First Division? I'm Zhao Dayou from the Second Division. I used to work at the Postal Inspection Division. If you recognize any of you, please let me know. I'll be right out."

After shouting, Zhao Dayou slowly walked out from the corner with a gun in his hand.

No one came to his aid, and he was greeted with two gunshots.

Bullets hit the ground, and gravel flew everywhere.

"You said you are from the Second Bureau, so you are from the Second Bureau? Put down your gun and walk over here slowly." An arrogant voice came from the other side.

Zhao Dayi had no choice but to lower the muzzle of his gun, slowly bend down and put the gun down:
"Our Director Mao is right here. How can he pretend to be someone else? The leader should come out and speak."

"Who? Da Mao? This old coward is cuckolded and dares not even fart. Why would he come here? You must be kidding me!" The man opposite said disdainfully, and just when Zhao Dayou put down his gun and was about to straighten up, he fired a shot.

The bullet hit Zhao Dayou's wrist, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

The situation became tense again.

The people in the Military Intelligence Bureau's investigation room immediately raised their pistols and prepared to fight back. At the critical moment, Mao Qiwu stood up and said to everyone with a dark face:
"Put down your guns, put them down, you, put them down, everyone here is a villain, can't we be gentlemen for once?

The person opposite, I am Mao Qiwu, the acting director of the Military Intelligence Bureau. I am coming out now, and you leaders should also get out.”

Having said that, he walked out with a dignified look on his face.

"It looks like it's really a big hair, don't shoot!"

The man opposite said suspiciously, and when he saw his two men raising their guns again, he quickly stopped them.

But it was too late. One bullet hit Mao Qiwu's feet and another bullet just grazed his butt.

Mao Qiwu screamed.

At this moment, the plainclothes officers in the Military Control Commission's Inspection Room, who had been briefly dazed by the surprise attack, had regained consciousness. Several of them rushed out and decisively pulled the trigger in the direction of the shooting.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—"

Several people on the opposite side fell straight down.

"Don't shoot, it's all a misunderstanding, the gun just went off accidentally"

The plainclothes officers in the Military Control Commission's Inspection Office, who were already blood-thirsty, had no time to care about this. They became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and rushed forward in one go.

"bang bang bang"

"Don't shoot, we are in this together"

"I'm beating up the bastards from the First Division. If they dare to hit our Director Mao, I'll fight them with my life."

"boom"

Chu Yi and Chu Er, a pair of freak brothers born under special historical conditions, usually drug each other for a little bit of profit, not to mention that they are already blood-thirsty at this moment.

After dealing with the seven or eight people from the Central Bureau of Investigation, everyone ignored everything else and quickly gathered around Mao Quwu to check his injuries.

Blood oozed from Mao Qiwu's buttocks, staining his pants red.

Mao Qiwu was sweating profusely, gasping for breath, and trying hard to endure the severe pain.

"Go and drive the car over here and take Director Mao to the hospital."

A team leader directed everyone to help Mao Qiwu into the car.

If the man from the Central Bureau of Investigation had not been scolded and his gun had not misfired, the shot would have very likely hit Director Mao's vitals, killing or crippling him.

Next to the hospital bed, Xiang Xinying was personally wrapping gauze around Mao Qiwu's buttocks.

Although he didn't say anything, Mao Qiwu caught a glimpse of tears in the corners of Xiang Xinying's eyes.

Mao Qiwu said: "Why are you crying? The bones are fine. It's just a little scrape and a piece of flesh. It will be fine after a repair."

Xiang Xinying wiped away her tears and continued to bandage the wound in silence.

"Don't cry, Mr. Dai will be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Chunfeng walked in with a gloomy face and a military uniform. Beside him, besides Adjutant Jia, there was also Yang Rong, Director of the Intelligence Department.

Mao Qiwu turned his head to take a look, and just as he was about to turn over, he felt a sharp pain from the wound on his buttock. He couldn't help but cry out softly.

"Brother Shanyu, there's no need to get up." Boss Dai walked quickly to the bedside, and seeing Xiang Xinying's tearful eyes, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times, then retracted his gaze, patted Mao Qiwu's shoulder, and asked a few questions with concern.

Mao Qiwu was both moved and proud. The scar was a medal of honor. From now on, no one would dare to say that he was just an office worker.

"Are all the bastards from the Central Bureau of Investigation dead?" Dai Chunfeng asked.

"Yes."

"Resisting stubbornly?"

Mao Qiwu nodded: "The situation was a little out of control at the time, and everyone was killing people."

"Why would the bastard from the Central Bureau of Investigation appear there?"

Mao Qiwu was speechless. He also wanted to know, but now the informant, broker and people from the Central Bureau of Investigation were all dead.

Seeing Dai Chunfeng frowning, Mao Qiwu glanced at Yang Rong and asked, "Is there any news about Zhao Yifeng from the Intelligence Department?"

"He's dead." "Dead?" Mao Qiwu was surprised.

Yang Rong continued, "The police station found a body in the grove, and it has been confirmed that it was Zhao Yifeng from the Intelligence Department."

"Kill him?"

"Yes." Yang Rong's face was solemn, and he continued, "The Intelligence Department found out that this person was related to the death of Secretary Guo of the Central Bureau of Investigation. Someone saw him meet with the prison guards of Wanglongmen Detention Center."

"So he is from the Central Bureau of Investigation?"

"Yes, it's all my fault that I was short-sighted and didn't even know that there were dissidents among my men. Director, I request punishment."

Dai Chunfeng's face was as gloomy as water, and he waved his hand: "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The question is where did the $20 go?"

The more Mao Qiwu listened, the more puzzled he became. He couldn't help but ask, "So the bank robbery was done by Zhao Yifeng?"

There were two people on the suspect list at the beginning, one was Zhao Yifeng and the other was Zhang Yi.

But compared to Zhao Yifeng, he was more suspicious of Zhang Yi.

There is no other reason, it is purely based on the understanding of Zhang Yi's ability. After all, the person who can commit this crime must have means, courage and scheming that cannot be underestimated.

Zhao Yifeng is just a team leader in the Intelligence Department. Isn't he really too brave?

Yang Rong said: "My people searched Zhao Yifeng's home again and found traces of a box being dragged on the ceiling. Based on the size and clues provided by the bank, it should be a suitcase containing US dollars. Unfortunately, he died and the clues were lost again."

Upon hearing this, Mao Qiwu looked disheartened. It turned out that he had been investigating in the wrong direction from the very beginning?

He glanced at Boss Dai carefully and saw that his face had darkened again. Although he was full of doubts, he did not dare to say anything for a while.

After a while, Dai Chunfeng said, "I could have given you a commendation, but in vain, I got nothing."

His tone was full of fatigue.

"Qi Wu doesn't want credit. I don't do things for credit. We all do the dirty work together. It's just that the $200,000 is the bureau's budget, and the expenses are already stretched to the limit."

Dai Chunfeng didn't say anything. He thought for a long time, and a hint of cruelty appeared on his gloomy face: "You should concentrate on recuperating. Sooner or later, you will have to settle the score with Xu Zengen."

"Commander!" Seeing Boss Dai was about to leave, Mao Qiwu shouted again, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Dai Chunfeng noticed his strangeness: "What else?"

Mao Qiwu remained silent again.

Yang Rong said tactfully, "Director, I'm going back first."

After saying this, he nodded to Mao Qiwu, turned and left.

Only Mao Qiwu, Xiang Xinying and Dai Chunfeng were left in the ward.

"You go out too." Mao Qiwu said to Xiang Xinying again.

After she left, Dai Chunfeng said directly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Mao Qiwu paused and said, "Brother Yunong, I always feel that something is wrong.

Zhao Yifeng's death was so weird, it was just the right time.

I always feel that there is an invisible hand behind this controlling everything.

Today's incident was a trap from the beginning. First, they lured our people over through the black market. I guess the Central Bureau of Investigation did the same. They deliberately let us kill each other. When we shifted our attention to the Central Bureau of Investigation, the person behind the scenes led us to find clues about Zhao Yifeng's home, one thing after another."

Dai Chunfeng raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and stared at Mao Qiwu with sharp eyes:

"So you still doubt Zhang Yi?"

Mao Qiwu sighed: "To be honest, I did doubt him, but the evidence shows that I was wrong again."

"What's the reason?"

"I think even if Zhao Yifeng is a spy sent by the Central Bureau of Investigation, he doesn't have the courage and ability to do this."

“I remember Shadow saying that most people would look for a traitor among a group of innocent people. His method was to assume that everyone was a traitor and then prove their innocence one by one.

At the time of the incident, three directors, deputy directors, four section chiefs, six field directors, and 23 agents were out. Although the inspection office has verified it, and these people have witnesses, can you guarantee that they don't have accomplices?"

"But." Mao Qiwu still did not give up, "Commander, you also said that we should never rashly doubt a person, and never give up doubting a person.

Moreover, if a person always arouses suspicion for no reason, no matter how innocent he is, he cannot be entrusted with important tasks. Besides, it is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go.”

"Evidence, I want solid evidence."

"Not yet."

"What about Zhang Yi's reasons and motives for doing this? Did he conspire with the Central Bureau of Investigation?"

"That's definitely not going to happen."

Dai Chunfeng was a little unhappy: "Brother Shanyu, you have to know the importance of some relationships. It is easy to arrest and kill people, but if you arrest people without evidence, how will others think? How can we do our work in the future?"

Having said that, Mao Qiwu could only shut up. Logically, it is easy to prove that something exists, just find it. But how about proving that something does not exist? That is very difficult.

Seeing this, Dai Chunfeng softened his tone a bit: "Of course, it is the duty of the Inspection Office to suspect or even investigate suspicious elements in the Bureau. It is also your right. You can investigate anyone, including me."

Mao Qiwu smiled awkwardly: "You are joking, Director. It would be better to investigate myself. Maybe I robbed a bank in my dream."

Dai Chunfeng laughed and said, "When hiring people, you should be suspicious, but you should still hire them. The key is to hire them well."

Although he was smiling, his smile was somewhat elusive.

Mao Qiwu was just thinking about the meaning behind the chief's words when Dai Chunfeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of your injuries."

Coming out of the hospital, Dai Chunfeng squinted at the gloomy night sky. All his previous tiredness disappeared, and his eyes and demeanor immediately became different.

Adjutant Jia asked carefully, "Mr. Dai, are you going back to the mansion?"

"Let's drive first."

"Yes." Adjutant Jia was not surprised at all. Whenever the boss was undecided about something important or in a bad mood, he would always drive around in circles.

The car rushed all the way out of the mountain city. Although it was past curfew, no one dared to stop Boss Dai's car.

On the outskirts of the mountain city, there is a residential area consisting of densely packed bungalows. It is particularly quiet because it is not in the city center.

Adjutant Jia vaguely caught a glimpse of the sign that read "Shancheng Power Plant Family Compound", and Dai Chunfeng suddenly stopped the car.

"Wait for me in the car. I'll be back soon."

".yes."

Adjutant Jia and the driver were confused. What was the boss doing here in such a remote place?
Could it be that he has a lover that they don’t know about?
But how do you ask this kind of question?

Dai Chunfeng hesitated for a while after getting off the car, and suddenly looked at Adjutant Jia and the driver, and finally his eyes fell on the driver in casual clothes: "Let's change our clothes."

The driver became even more depressed and took off his clothes without any hesitation.

Boss Dai put on a driver's suit and hat, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

He walked and stopped, and finally stopped in front of a house with a word "Fu" hanging on it.

He walked up and knocked on the door three times, long and twice. Soon, a light came into the room.

Soon, footsteps were heard and the door opened.

It's a woman.

She welcomed Boss Dai in, and her face appeared in the light and shadow.

She was in her early 20s, with a pretty face, and was wearing a plain floral cotton jacket.

Even so, one can still see that she has a unique temperament compared to ordinary workers.

At this moment, she stood at attention and saluted: "Director."

Dai Chunfeng looked at her for a few times and said, "Yingwei, it's your turn."

"Yes."
