My spy diary

Chapter 428 Girlfriend (asking for monthly ticket)
"Chen Jie, we meet again."

"Diao, Captain Diao." Chen Jie looked at him uneasily.

Captain Diao smiled and looked at him for a moment, excited but not in a hurry. He glanced around the telephone booth and pointed to a small hotel not far away, saying:
"Let's talk somewhere else."

Before Chen Jie could say anything, two police officers rushed up and grabbed him.

When they arrived at the small hotel, Captain Diao personally poured water for Chen Jie as if he was entertaining a friend.

"Tea or water?"

"I, I'm not thirsty."

"You should drink something. There will be many questions to ask later."

Captain Diao poured him a glass of boiled water, calmly took out a notebook, and asked:
"Where do you want to start? Do you want me to ask you?"

"I"

"Don't be nervous. Tell me, what did you find out?"

"I, I discovered that Lao He, the director of the power plant's mimeograph room, is a member of the Red Party."

Diao Yide smiled: "Words are not enough, where is the evidence?"

Chen Jie was stunned: "I accidentally discovered that they were holding a secret meeting and taking an oath."

Hearing this, Captain Diao thought for a moment and said, "What you said is not direct evidence."

Chen Jie was silent.

"Calling the police falsely? Trying to defraud money?"

"I, I didn't."

"Look at you. Everything has a cause and effect. If you don't explain clearly, we can't even file a case, so how can we arrest this old Hao?"

Captain Diao closed his notebook and winked at the police officer beside him: "Since Brother Chen is unwilling to tell the truth, we can only change the way we talk."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two police officers smiled sinisterly, and their fists whizzed towards Chen Jie, hitting him hard on his cheek which was still swollen.

Chen Jie was caught off guard and received two punches, and actually flew off the chair.

Two police officers chased after him, held him down, and continued to beat him hard with their fists.

"Enough, you are too rude." Captain Diao waved his hand to stop him when he saw that someone was bleeding.

When he was dragged up, Chen Jie's face, which was already bruised and swollen, was already in a horrible state, with blood flowing from his mouth.

"Can you tell the truth now?"

Chen Jie was shaking all over and shouted excitedly: "I am telling the truth. I really discovered it by accident."

"Really?" Captain Diao sneered, "It seems that Brother Chen is still a little confused now. It seems that he was a little lenient. How about we continue?"

Chen Jie heard the hidden meaning in Diao Yide's words and said in despair: "I, I found it while following Chen Kaiyan."

"That's right. Although Lao He is only the director of the mimeograph room, he still has a position. Your business is not related. Why are you suddenly interested in him?"

Captain Diao smiled proudly, "Tell me in detail, the time and place, how you followed, and who you saw."

Afterwards, Captain Diao asked a lot of questions about Chen Kaiyan, Director Hao, and everything that happened that night.

Chen Jie answered dazedly, his head buzzing. He seemed unable to hear himself speak, and couldn't remember what he said.

Until Captain Diao asked him the last question: "Why did you call to report the person you like?"

Chen Jie raised his head in a daze and looked at Captain Diao.

"You want to protect her in this way?"

Chen Jie didn't say anything.

"Knowing that she is a member of the Red Party, why did you still want to save her?" Captain Diao continued to ask aggressively.

Chen Jie finally panicked: "No, no, no, Captain Diao, listen to me, Kaiyan is not a Red Party member! Anyone could be, but Kaiyan can't be!

She is just a helpless worker, kind and simple, she must have been deceived into joining them. I have asked her to withdraw voluntarily, I am doing this to save her, I hope Captain Diao will forgive her this time for my voluntary reporting, I promise there will be no next time. "

"Do you think this is a game?" Captain Diao looked at him like an idiot. "It's written clearly in black and white."

Captain Diao handed him the notebook and said, "Write it down and it will be used as evidence in court."

These words stunned Chen Jie so much that he was speechless for a moment, staring at the transcript in shock.

Captain Diao's train of thought did not stop, and he grabbed the notebook:

"See? You said it yourself, you heard it with your own ears, saying 'her mother was a member of the Red Party, and in 27 she was ordered to infiltrate the Fruit Party', she is a veteran, so your so-called sweetheart may seem simple, but in fact she is a remnant of the Red Party, and people like her must be hunted down and killed."

"Plop" Chen Jie knelt on the ground trembling and crying bitterly:

"Captain Diao, that's not the case. I took the initiative to report her. Please let her go this time. I promise."

Diao Yide didn't say anything. He took out a wallet from his pocket, took out a few banknotes and threw them at his feet.

"Is this the same thing? I am not the chairman. I cannot pardon anyone I want.

Of course, I won't let you work in vain. This little money is considered as an informant's fee. Take it back and buy your mother something delicious."

Chen Jie was trembling all over, looking at the colorful banknotes on the ground, as if someone had suddenly pulled out his spine, and the guilt instantly wiped out him.

On the other side, Zhang Yi's car was parked on the road next to the public telephone booth outside the power plant.

He sat in the driver's seat, staring at the telephone booth outside the window.

A few dozen meters away, there was also a car lying on the side of the road. A middle-aged cleaner in disguise was holding the steering wheel and looking straight ahead.

At this time, a detective who looked like a businessman quickly crossed the road and got on the passenger seat:

"What do you think he'll do next?"

The cleaner didn't say anything. He looked at Zhang Yi's car through the windshield, then quietly reached under the seat and took out a black pistol.

"Are you really going to use a gun?"

"If we find out that he has informed the Red Party, we will arrest him immediately, dead or alive. This is Director Mao's order."

The businessman frowned: "There's no bug on the pay phone, how can we know what he said?"

Cleaner: "As long as he makes a phone call, we can find out by following the number. Besides, we have people watching the power plant, so if the Red Party makes any unusual moves, everything will be clear."

"Okay, let's wait and see." The businessman nodded and also took out a pistol.

Under the gaze of the two, Zhang Yi got out of the car. He walked slowly into the phone booth and picked up the phone.

At the same time, the phone on the table in the Shulu conference room suddenly rang.

Mao Qiwu quickly stepped forward and picked up the phone:

"Hello, I'm Mao Qiwu."

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, Mao Qiwu frowned immediately: "Got it, continue monitoring."

After hanging up the phone, he frowned, feeling a little upset. Zhang Yi actually called Diao Yide at the police station again. Could it be that all his guesses were wrong?
Now we can only wait and see what happens, there is no better way.

After thinking for a while, he raised his hand to rub his temple and ordered again: "Notify everyone, including those who are watching Zhang Yi, to be extremely careful and not alert the enemy."

"Yes."

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Yi stood on the side of the road and looked at his watch. Just as he was watching the pedestrians hurrying by on the street and wondering where Diao was, he saw a man in plain clothes walking down from a small hotel not far away.

He subconsciously took two steps forward and looked carefully, and it was indeed Diao Yide.

"Captain Diao." "Zhang, Deputy Director Zhang!" Diao Yide hurried over.

"You called me to tell me something important?"

"Yes, Deputy Director Zhang, do you still remember Chen Jie? He was the one who reported to the police that he had found clues about the Red Party."

"Chen Jie?" Zhang Yi's face was full of surprise. "Do you have any evidence?"

"The evidence is conclusive." Diao Yide said excitedly, his tone full of confidence.

As he said this, he took out his notebook and showed Zhang Yi Chen Jie's confession record.

"What Chen Jie said should be the truth. The suspects we can confirm now are Chen Kaiyan and this Lao Hao. As long as we catch them and interrogate them strictly, we will definitely be able to force out information about the other suspects."

"That's great, Captain Diao, you've done a great job. From now on, this case will be taken over by our Military Control Commission." Zhang Yi said with admiration.

"Your Excellency is too kind. It is my duty and I cannot refuse it." Captain Diao rubbed his hands and said earnestly, "I don't know if I can participate in the arrest. I'd be fine if I could just be your vanguard."

"Arrest? Who said they were going to arrest anyone?"

Zhang Yi shook his head. "Let's keep an eye on them first. It would be best if we could catch them all at once. Even if we want to arrest people, we can't do it in a big way. We have to come up with a crime for them."

Captain Diao was a little discouraged, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized something and immediately suggested:
"Sir, didn't we catch a blackmailer yesterday? He's still in the police station. We can record a confession for him and have him admit that he was instructed by Lao He, the director of the power plant's mimeograph room, to do something bad to Chen Kaiyan.

In this way, with the witness testimony, we can take the opportunity to summon the parties involved, Chen Kaiyan and Lao Hao, to the police station to ensure that we do not alert the enemy."

Zhang Yi smiled. This method was a bit clumsy, but it didn't matter. He nodded:
"Then leave it to you."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Captain Diao left happily, and Zhang Yi turned and walked towards the phone booth.

In the distance, two people who were monitoring in a black car witnessed all this. The man who looked like a businessman immediately got out of the car and ran towards a grocery store with a telephone sign in the distance.

In the conference room, Mao Qiwu was pacing back and forth anxiously. When the phone rang, he immediately picked it up: "This is Mao Qiwu."

"He met with Captain Diao? Then what? Keep a close eye on the target, and take immediate action if there is any unusual movement."

After working so hard for so long, it all depends on the target's next choice. Mao Qiwu was making arrangements on the phone while thinking secretly in his heart. Just as he was looking forward to it, something unexpected happened.

The phone rang again: "Hello, this is the Director. Yes, I got it."

It was not until a dead tone sounded on the other end of the phone that he came to his senses and said to his subordinates in a tired tone:

"The plan is cancelled. Tell them to withdraw, all of them."

After saying this, he walked towards the director's office in a distracted manner.

A few minutes ago, Zhang Yi also dialed a number: "Director, this is Zhang Yi."

"Yun Yi, is there anything wrong?" Dai Chunfeng asked calmly.

"Commander, I just received a clue from the police station. Someone reported that Chen Kaiyan is a member of the Red Party."

"Is the evidence conclusive?"

"That's right. The information was provided by her colleague Chen Jie, who also gave away a man named Lao He. I suspect that this man is the leader of the underground group at the power plant. Please tell me what to do next, Chief."

".You did a good job. Since you are a member of the Red Party, let's hand it over to the First Division for handling. You can come back first."

After hanging up the phone, Dai Chunfeng looked unhappy, frowned in annoyance, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, the office door opened and Mao Qiwu walked in with a frustrated look on his face:

"Officer."

Dai Chunfeng interrupted him: "Brother Shanyu, from now on, you must have a basis for suspecting someone. Otherwise, if you are wrong, it will only disappoint the people below you."

"Yes, yes, yes." Mao Qiwu nodded hurriedly with an embarrassed expression.

"But then again, if he is not that person, then who is that person?" Dai Chunfeng asked suddenly.

"Qi Wu is incompetent. After investigating for so long, the clues are gone again." Mao Qiwu felt more and more discouraged after saying this.

"I've said before that a hunter's best weapon is patience and keeping calm. The fox will always show its tail."

These words sounded like comfort, and also like he was trying to comfort himself. As he spoke, he waved his hand and closed his eyes.

"Qi Wu, take your leave."

After Mao Qiwu turned around and left, Dai Chunfeng sat alone in the chair without saying a word.

In the airtight office, the dim light of the desk lamp shone on his face. Under the soft light, his face looked gloomy, and the atmosphere of the whole office became gloomy.

After a while, he opened the drawer, took out Chen Kaiyan's resume, and opened it to look at it.

For him, doubt only takes a moment, but it takes a long time to dispel the doubt.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and dialed.

After a while, Zhang Yi knocked on the door and walked into the office.

"Seat."

"Yeah." Dai Chunfeng nodded, motioned him to sit down, and asked with interest:

“How does it feel to be in love?”

Zhang Yi was stunned. He had never expected Boss Dai to ask this question. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It's over before it even started."

"Sorry?"

Dai Chunfeng smiled and said, "Someone told me that being a spy is like being in love. A little distance and uncertainty, as well as a seemingly cold attitude on the part of one party, can stimulate greater desire."

Zhang Yi looked at him, not knowing what he was going to say.

Dai Chunfeng asked again: "Yun Yi, how old are you this year?"

"thirty."

"At 30, you are not young anymore. People say you should start a family and build a career. You should get married."

Zhang Yi was silent for a while, and said: "It's not that I haven't met the right one, and the director said that during the Anti-Japanese War..."

Dai Chunfeng interrupted him: "That's targeting others. Aren't there enough people I've specially approved?"

Without waiting for Zhang Yi to speak, he said, "How about this, I'll introduce you to someone, and we can get married right away if we're suitable."

The words sounded like a negotiation, but the tone was unyielding.

Zhang Yi was a little flustered. Do you think it is appropriate, or do I think it is appropriate?
Do you want to marry a total stranger?

He quickly said, "Commander, this is not appropriate. There has to be a process."

Dai Chunfeng did not answer him. He looked at his watch, picked up the phone and made a call:
"Let Deputy Director Zhang's girlfriend come over."

After doing all this, he slowly explained:
"People are never strangers forever. As someone who has been through it, I tell you that the fastest way to understand a woman is in bed. What do you think?"

Zhang Yi opened his mouth and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.

Dai Chunfeng said casually: "Come in."

As soon as the words fell, the door opened and a familiar female voice sounded at the door.

"director."

It was Chen Kaiyan. She was standing at the door, looking at Zhang Yi with a smile.
