My spy diary

Chapter 431 Undercover (please vote)

"Who is that man?" Mao Qiwu's face was gloomy, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Lin Shiliang."

Mao Qiwu was stunned.

If it was any other pretty boy or a member of the Military Control Commission, the worst that could happen would be that we would use some means, overtly or covertly, to make an example of him.

With Mao Qiwu's current status and position, it would be a piece of cake, but this person happened to be Lin Shiliang, and Minister Kong was standing behind him. Even Boss Dai didn't dare to provoke him easily, let alone him.

Seeing Mao Qiwu's face turn pale and his expression change, Zhang Yi smiled secretly in his heart, but looked concerned. He patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Lao Mao, calm down. We are all men. I understand you very well, but this matter needs to be considered carefully."

What if you don’t take the long-term view?
Mao Qiwu sighed deeply, letting out the fire in his chest. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he remained silent.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi continued to comfort him: "Lao Mao, to be honest, I think my sister-in-law is not the kind of person who takes the initiative. Lin is the culprit for being promiscuous."

After a pause, he continued, "The director privately asked me to collect evidence of Lin's corruption and bribery. It's not that I won't take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet. Now, life must go on."

Mao Qiwu's expression at this moment had gradually changed from anger to loneliness.

Family members know their own business. He knows exactly what kind of person his wife is. How could he not know the truth that "beautiful women are the root of trouble"?

Furthermore, Zhang Fei said that his wife was like clothes and his friends were like brothers and sisters. To him, women were nothing more than vassals for carrying on the family line.

What a lovely wife! You talk about your kindness every day when you are alive, but when you die, you will be gone. There have been many foolish parents since ancient times, but who has ever seen filial children and grandchildren?

It is right for a real man to make a career in an upright manner.

If a high-ranking official wanted to wear the clothes he had worn, he would be happy to give them to them so that he could help him further his career.

What’s hateful is that this person is Lin Shiliang. He and the people behind him are hostile forces. Isn’t this a case of losing both the wife and the army?

What's more, Lin Shiliang is always arrogant and domineering. If this matter were to be made public, Mao Qiwu's reputation would undoubtedly suffer a huge blow.

A husband is the head of his wife. How can he manage the world if he can't even manage his own house? How can he manage thousands of arrogant and domineering agents of the Military Control Commission if he can't even manage his own wife?
"I know people call me a bastard behind my back, but now I am even more worthy of the name."

"It's just the gossip of a villain. Why should you care about it, Mr. Mao?" Zhang Yi consoled him, then changed the subject, "Is the Director here?"

"Mr. Dai is out. Does Deputy Director Zhang have something to say?" When it came to business, Mao Qiwu regained his kind face.

"Oh, there are a few things I wanted to ask you, but since the director is not here, I'll come back later."

Zhang Yi glanced at the door of Dai Chunfeng's office, spoke casually, nodded, left a word "see you later" and turned away.

Mao Qiwu stared at Zhang Yi's back, smiled coldly, and turned back to the office.

the other side.

In a teahouse box not far from the bureau headquarters, two people were also talking.

Dai Chunfeng sat in the main seat, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "Tell me, what new discoveries have you made?"

Chen Kaiyan stood respectfully opposite and said:

"He went out last night, and my subordinates followed him secretly, but he discovered him."

"Well, what did he do?"

"Surveillance. But he was monitoring Lin Shiliang, and he discovered that Director Mao's wife was with the target. According to Zhang Yi, this was a task assigned to him by the director, and his subordinates were unaware of it."

"Xiang Xinying?"

Dai Chunfeng frowned. When did this woman collude with Lin Shiliang? He also didn't know how Mao Qiwu managed the family.

After a pause, he put the matter aside, looked up at Chen Kaiyan, and said, "This is indeed the task I assigned him. Do you have any other findings?"

"Other than that, nothing was discovered."

"No one else is secretly in contact with him?"

"Not in the past few days. Maybe it's because I haven't been in contact with him for a long time and I haven't found any suspicious elements yet."

"What does he do at home besides work?"

"Drinking tea, reading newspapers, daydreaming, etc."

Dai Chunfeng suddenly asked: "Did you go to bed on your wedding night?"

Chen Kaiyan was completely stuck.

Dai Chunfeng asked: "So it's gone?"

Chen Kaiyan lowered his head and said, "He knows my identity and responsibilities very well. He can't even hide from me. How could he do that?"

"Hmph, so what?"

Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly, and when he saw Chen Kaiyan shudder, he softened his tone, "Yingwei, I don't mean anything else. I want you to keep a close eye on Zhang Yi, but I don't mean to harm him.

I am helping him and hope that he will be loyal to his duties and serve the Military Control Commission and the Party and the country loyally.

Similarly, I understand your situation very well. What you are learning is the tricks on how to seduce a man. I hope you can play to your strengths, keep an eye on him, find out his weaknesses, and uncover his secrets.

If it is confirmed that he is loyal to the Party and the country, I will naturally not treat him unfairly, and you can also follow him to live in glory and wealth and become a wealthy wife, killing two birds with one stone;
But if you find any signs that he is red, don't blame me, Dai Yunong, for being ruthless."

Chen Kaiyan had a blank expression on his face: "I will try my best to observe carefully and serve Director Dai."

Dai Chunfeng corrected him: "It's not about trying your best, it's about trying your best!"

Chen Kaiyan stood at attention very seriously and saluted: "Yes."

Here, after saying goodbye to Mao Qiwu, Zhang Yi returned to his office with an expressionless face.

He stood by the window holding a cup of tea, thinking to himself how he could quietly approach the Director of the Judicial Department, Xu Yedao, and get the list of names for this "prison clearance" operation.

Suddenly, a jeep covered with canvas drove into the Luodawan compound, escorted by two black cars, and stopped directly under the office building.

Zhang Yi's heart trembled. Where was this prisoner being escorted from?

Looking out through the window, I saw that although the jeep had a Shancheng license plate, its four wheels were covered in mud, while the wheels of the two cars were clean, so it was obvious that they did not come from the same place.

He became more suspicious and watched silently. He saw several skilled plainclothes officers jump out of two cars and surround the jeep, which was in a very tight security.

After a while, He Shangyou, director of the Party and Government Intelligence Department, hurried out from the lobby.

A plainclothes officer walked up and whispered something. He Shangyou nodded slightly, and then the plainclothes officer walked forward and opened the jeep door.

A middle-aged man came down from above. He was tall and thin, with prominent eye sockets and untidy beard. He walked unsteadily, as if he had been on a long journey.

Seeing He Shangyou smiling and chatting with the man, the plainclothes officers escorted the man into the corridor. Zhang Yi immediately put on his coat and slowly walked out.

Third floor, second floor, as their footsteps gradually approached, Zhang Yihe and a few others met on the stairs on the first floor.

"Here, has Director He done something great again?"

Zhang Yi held the stair handrail, looked at the middle-aged man with interest, and asked with a smile.

"Just a pawn."

He Shangyou said casually, waved his hand and told his subordinates, "Take the person to the pre-trial room first." After his subordinates took the person away, he looked at Zhang Yi and teased, "Deputy Director Zhang is newly married, and you come to work so early?"

Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly as a response, then asked:
"Who did you catch? Don't get me wrong. If he's a Japanese spy, you have to hand him over to our Intelligence Department."

"Don't worry, I know the rules." He Shangyou waved his hand, paused for a moment, and asked, "Deputy Director Zhang, what are you going to do?"

"I want to report something to the chief, but he doesn't seem to be here." As he spoke, Zhang Yi's eyes swept past the jeep and looked toward the other side of the compound, where there were also several black cars parked.

"What are you looking at?" He Shangyou followed his gaze.

"Isn't that Director Xu's car?"

He Shangyou looked at him with an unhappy tone: "The interrogation needs to be notified to the Judicial Department. I will communicate this matter with Lao Xu."

"Director He, you are overthinking it. I just have some personal matters to discuss with him."

He Shangyou said "Oh" and glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

After confirming that Xu Yedao, director of the Judicial Department, was in the office, Zhang Yi returned to the office, found several archival materials on the detained Japanese spies, and went over to look for them.

Xu Yedao was surprised by his visit. He asked his secretary to make tea while asking:

"How come Deputy Director Zhang is free to come here today?" Zhang Yi pushed the file in his hand in front of Xu Yedao:
"I need to re-interrogate these people. If I can't get anything out of them, I'll just take them out and execute them."

Xu Yedao took it and took a few glances at it. Seeing that it was indeed a detained Japanese spy, he signed it readily.

"Thank you." Zhang Yi took it in his hand, glanced at Xu Yedao, and started talking:

"Director Xu, you don't look very well. Your eyes are red. You should combine work with rest."

"It's because I'm tired."

Xu Yedao gave him a grateful look and sighed, "Hundreds of political prisoners in custody need to be executed at once, and the news cannot be leaked. It's difficult. I've been working so hard on this these days that I'm not really in my mind."

"So many?" Zhang Yi pretended to be surprised, "Can't they be executed in batches?"

Xu Yedao's face didn't look good: "Boss Dai wants to execute them all at once on the day of the Fourth Anniversary Celebration. What can I do?

We in the Judicial Department do dirty work, it's difficult, I hope all these ghosts won't come looking for me."

"Killing so many people, once the gunfire is heard, there is no guarantee that the news will not be leaked."

"Yes, in broad daylight." Xu Yedao was silent for a while, then looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Deputy Director Zhang, what suggestions do you have?"

"Can't you use poison?"

"Poison?" Xu Yedao was stunned and looked at Zhang Yi deeply. "It's a good idea, but isn't it too sinister?"

"Sinister? Aren't there enough people who died in our hands? If there is retribution, we will all go to hell in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Yedao opened his mouth and smiled slightly:

"You're right, we are all devils and we will go to hell eventually. I'm just afraid that the King of Hell won't dare to take us in, haha."

"Haha." Zhang Yi also laughed. He glanced at Xu Yedao and was about to leave when he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and added, "By the way, Director Xu, I just saw a wanted criminal being escorted to the pre-trial room. Didn't Director inform you?"

"Wanted to commit a crime?"

"Yes, with so many layers of protection, it seems his identity is not simple."

"This Old He is trying to act first and report later again." Xu Yedao's face darkened and he reached out to pick up the phone on the table.

Zhang Yi said tactfully, "You are busy, I will leave first."

By the time Zhang Yi left the house, the call had already been connected, but no one answered the phone.

Xu Yedao dialed again, but still no one answered. He hung up the phone with a gloomy face and called his secretary:
"Go to the pre-trial room."

Pre-trial room.

He Shangyou sat opposite the middle-aged man and said with a smile:
"I am He Shangyou, the director of the Party and Political Intelligence Department of the Military Intelligence Bureau. I am the highest-ranking officer you can meet right now. Mr. Liu, you can say whatever you want now."

Mr. Liu looked calm and indifferent. He took a few sips of water and looked up at He Shangyou.

"I want to see Dai Yunong."

As soon as these words came out, the recorder with a discipline buckle on his head put down his pen and scolded:
"How dare you call Mr. Dai by his name? You should be aware of your situation."

Mr. Liu just smiled sarcastically and said nothing.

"Where does it grow?"

He Shangyou waved his hand to stop the recorder from talking, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said:

"Liu Dongfang, you should be aware of your identity as a traitor to the Red Party. If you hadn't taken the initiative to go to the Chang'an Military Control Station and confidently said that you had important intelligence to report, you would never have been able to reach the mountain city."

Liu Dongfang hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but if I tell you, I'll probably die faster. I won't say anything until I meet Boss Dai."

He Shangyou's expression froze, trying to guess what this person meant. He paused and said, "Then let's talk about something else?"

This time Liu Dongfang did not resist and said calmly: "Tell me about it."

"As far as we know, you were a former spy and lived with the core leaders of the Red Party for a long time. Putting aside the enemy and our camp, before the Guo Party wiped out the Red Bandits, you had a bright future. Why did you take the initiative to surrender to our Military Control Commission?"

Ever since he received the news from Chang'an Station, this question has been bothering He Shangyou and he couldn't figure it out.

If you say that this person is an undercover sent by the Red Party, even he himself doesn't believe it.

As a spy, his professional expertise lies in technology, and lurking is not his forte.

Sending such a person over would undoubtedly be a suicide mission. Besides, radio operators are valuable talents to both sides, so how could the Red Party be willing to let him go?

"A bright future?" Upon hearing this, Liu Dongfang suddenly burst into laughter and only stopped when tears came out.

He Shangyou looked at him strangely, waiting for what to come.

Liu Dongfang laughed at himself, as if recalling something, and said, "In the past, our radio stations were mainly captured, assembled by ourselves, imported from some channels, or distributed by the 18th Group Army. However, as the number of radio stations increased and they were scattered across the country, management was naturally out of reach. Therefore, leaks of secrets, delays in military operations, and violations of discipline occurred from time to time."

The Military Control Commission did not know about these situations. He Shangyou glanced at the recorder, and the latter immediately wrote down the details.

"Have a cigarette, and talk slowly." He Shangyou took the initiative to pass a cigarette over. "So, you were blamed for the intelligence leak?"

Liu Dongfang sneered: "If it was just because of these, I would never have ended up like this."

He took a few puffs of his cigarette, puffing out smoke and continuing:

"Since the beginning of the war, the army has lost more than ten radios and more than 40 personnel. Among them, more than 20 people left the revolutionary ranks due to ideological changes, behavioral depravity, and political instability. Eight people were killed in action, nine were captured and their whereabouts are unknown, and several died of illness."

He Shangyou listened with great interest. He had never heard of such confidential information before. If he could find a real example and publish it in the newspaper, it would undoubtedly be a serious blow to the prestige of the Red Party. He immediately asked:
"Is what you said true?"

Liu Dongfang snorted coldly: "Are things like disappearance, betrayal, and informing on others strange?

The confidential staff of the New Fourth Army's First Division was a CC member, the translator of the Seventh Brigade of the 11th Division escaped, the translator of the 12th Division defected, and the translator of the 12th Division defected in Yulin. Don't say you don't know about this. Humph, this kind of thing has happened frequently in the past year."

He Shangyou had heard about the fact that the telegraph operators of the 12th X Division had gone to Yulin and rebelled, but he was a little puzzled as to what had gone wrong and why so many telegraph operators from the Red Party had met with accidents one after another.

"You, no, what on earth happened over there?"

Liu Dongfang had a complicated expression and was silent for a long time before he said, "Many commanders and fighters on the Red Party side grew up from the grassroots. They are not afraid of death and are good at fighting, but they have a vulgar attitude and do not respect technical personnel. They beat and scold them at will, which is fine.

More importantly, everyone felt that it was difficult to have a career in this job. If you worked as a telegraph operator for your whole life, you would at most be a section chief. Those who joined the revolution with us were either regiment commanders or political commissars. They had service personnel following them, horses to ride, and special meals to eat.

"Oh, since this is not an isolated case, they haven't made any changes? I heard they are very efficient."

"Humph, of course there will be changes. Soon they will make a rule that the confidential section officers will receive a monthly allowance of 5 yuan, equivalent to the salary of a division commander or deputy division commander. Those with more than two years of experience will receive a monthly allowance of 3.5 yuan, equivalent to company-level cadres."

"From your side, this treatment is already very generous. What about you?"

Humans are not plants or trees. Everyone has seven emotions and six desires. No matter where you work, you must respect talents and give them treatment that matches their abilities. Otherwise, who will follow you?

The implication of He Shangyou's words is very clear. With such good treatment, why would you want to defect?

"It is quite generous, but am I, Liu Dongfang, willing to join the revolution just for my own enjoyment?"

"What is that?" He Shangyou sneered in his heart and became even more depressed. In his opinion, no matter what the revolutionary slogan was, no matter how well it was embellished, it was still for glory and wealth.

Liu Dongfang sneered a few times, but his expression gradually became lonely. He sighed and said:
"It is a good thing to solve the problem of treatment, and it is also welcomed by our technicians. However, the treatment is good, and the management is strict, and there is a review of my family background, politics, and ideology." He laughed sarcastically again, "The Military Commission's Technical Office received a letter from the Japanese war zone, saying that my father was a traitor police chief. Haha, then I was not only dismissed, but also detained and interrogated."

"You are from Peking. Is your father really a traitor?"

"My family has been a scholarly family for generations. How could my father be a traitor?"

Liu Dongfang shouted excitedly and said angrily, "Later, it was soon found out that the so-called traitor director was just a person with the same name, but I have been detained for these days.
Woohoo, they forced me to admit that my father was a traitor, and said I was stubborn and unrepentant, saying they were trying to save me. They missed me, Liu Dongfang."

Liu Dongfang became more and more excited as he spoke, and burst into tears.

So that's it! He Shangyou suddenly realized it, shook his head and said:
"Mr. Liu, we sympathize with your situation, but since you have joined the Military Control Commission, this alone is not enough. You know what we need."

Hearing this, Liu Dongfang gradually calmed down, looked up at He Shangyou's eyes, and said the same thing:

"I want to see Director Dai."

He Shangyou had no choice but to pick up the phone.

A few minutes later, Liu Dongfang, led by He Shangyou, finally met Dai Chunfeng.

As soon as they met, Liu Dongfang blurted out:

"Director Dai, there are Red Party undercover agents in the top leadership of the Military Control Commission."
