My spy diary

Chapter 440 Follow-up (asking for monthly ticket)

In a daze, Chen Kaiyan saw the plainclothes police officer who was shot in the corridor, the plainclothes police officer who was knocked away outside, the interrogation section chief Wang Wanchun who was shot dead at the dining table, the monkey Qian Xiaosan, and the truck.

The moonlight outside the distant gate swayed left and right, becoming brighter and brighter. As the night went away, it was getting closer and closer to the light.

Zhang Yi carried Chen Kaiyan out of the safe house. The moonlight poured down unscrupulously and the cold wind blew. She couldn't help shivering.

The truck passed through the empty street and got onto an unfamiliar winding road, moving forward in the bumps, like a tired but stubborn beast, struggling to break through in the darkness.

The engine made a dull roar, and every vibration seemed to be fighting against the boundless darkness. The wheels rolled over the stones, splashing sporadic loud noises, but were instantly swallowed up by the night.

On both sides of the road, the lights of the houses are twinkling, casting a warm yellow halo through the mottled window frames. The halo sways in the darkness, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, outlining the outline of life.

Zhang Yi was driving the car, and Chen Kaiyan was leaning on the passenger seat wrapped in his coat, with the wind blowing her messy long hair.

Neither of them spoke.

The moonlight shone into the car through the glass, filling the air with a sense of calm after surviving a disaster.

Suddenly, the car stopped at an intersection. There was a car parked in the distance. Adjutant Jia and several plainclothes officers were guarding the area.

After a long silence, Zhang Yi took out a bag from behind the driver's seat, which contained the clothes Chen Kaiyan usually wore, and handed it to her: "Take it with you to change into."

After a longer silence, he finally took out two IDs from his chest pocket and said, "This is your new ID. From now on, you will no longer be called Chen Kaiyan."

".Where are you sending me?"

Chen Kaiyan glanced at Adjutant Jia and others not far away, her eyes reddened and she choked up. She got in the car, and for her, it was an unknown world.

"Heal your wounds and accept the investigation." Zhang Yi said expressionlessly, reaching out his hand to knock on the car body. Monkey handed over a tape from the back, which was seized from the monitoring equipment in the Central Bureau of Investigation's safe house. "These things may prove your innocence. This is all I can do."

Chen Kaiyan clutched the ID tightly, tears streaming down her face, and she rushed over and hugged him tightly, choking with sobs.

Zhang Yi hesitated for a while. After all, they were husband and wife. He reached out his hand and slowly hugged her, patting her shoulder: "Take care."

".Thank you." Chen Kaiyan's eyes were filled with tears as she stared at him intently, as if she would never see him again if she turned her head away.

"I'm leaving."

"it is good."

Chen Kaiyan turned her face away, wiped her tears, staggered out of the car, and walked to Adjutant Jia's car.

A plainclothes officer opened the car door expressionlessly. She stepped into the car, but suddenly turned around and stopped.

He struggled to stand up straight and saluted the truck.

Zhang Yi sat in the truck, looking at her and smiled with a complicated expression.

The car carrying Chen Kaiyan took a side road and eventually disappeared into the darkness.

The office of the head of Group 6 of the Attendant's Office is located on the sixth floor of the north building of the commissioner's residence. As soon as you enter the room, you can see the tall and bright arched glass windows and the half-closed white gauze screens, which are quiet and private.

The crystal chandelier hangs high, shining brightly. The mahogany floor below is covered with brown wool carpets and black leather imported sofas, exuding grandeur everywhere.

Team leader Tang Heng was wearing a high-quality white shirt, khaki officer trousers, and shiny military boots.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his elegant fair face and his hair was combed meticulously.

At this moment, he was sitting on a black sofa. A set of tea sets had been placed on the coffee table, and hot steam was rising from the teapot.

He skillfully poured two cups of tea, placed them opposite, frowned, and asked:
"Brother Kejun, Brother Yunong, Shangqing Temple is a garrison, a core area of ​​the party and the country. What is the reason for the gunshots tonight?"

The two people sitting opposite were Xu Zengen and Dai Chunfeng. These two spy chiefs who usually schemed against each other were now pretending to be friendly and sitting together, crossing their legs and leaning on the sofa, looking like two good friends.

Hearing this, Dai Chunfeng glanced at Xu Zengen and immediately said, "In addition to the Browning 1911, there were also Mauser C96 bullets at the crime scene. It seems that only your Central Committee has this kind of standard weapon. Could it be that your people did what happened tonight?"

Xu Zengen was stunned. He didn't expect Dai Chunfeng to take the lead. He was secretly angry and cursed the bastards who took action tonight in his heart, but he said firmly:

"Impossible, our Central Bureau of Investigation has not taken any action tonight."

Before getting the confession, he naturally had to deny it firmly. The Chairman had been dissatisfied with him recently. If he was accused of ramming into the Chairman's official residence, he would be in big trouble.

After saying this, he pretended to remember something and changed the subject:
"By the way, my people seem to have seen Deputy Director Zhang of the Military Control Commission there. Could he be living there?"

"Deputy Director Zhang, Zhang Yi? Is what happened tonight related to him?" Tang Heng's face darkened and he looked at Dai Chunfeng.

Seeing this, Xu Zengen was secretly somewhat proud of himself. As long as he could lead the case to Zhang Yi and get Mrs. Zhang's confession, everything would be easy.

Dai Chunfeng's eyes were calm: "Deputy Director Xu, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"That's not the case, but my people saw Zhang Yi appear there several times."

Xu Zengen didn't understand why the Dai man was so calm. How could he know that the reason why Dai Chunfeng dared to ask this was because the property where Zhang Yi lived was confiscated from "Shadow", and the title deed was registered in the name of some unknown person and could not be traced at all.

"The reason why Zhang Yi appeared there was because I assigned him a mission. The Military Control Commission received a tip-off that there were hidden Red Party activities there."

"Red Party?" Tang Heng's face became uglier. "How did the Red Party sneak into the garrison? Did they catch anyone?"

"I wanted to play the long game and hook the big fish, but who would have thought that the Red Party was so cunning that they escaped overnight after discovering they were being monitored. Zhang Yi failed to carry out the order and is to blame. I have detained him in the Wanglongmen Detention Center." Dai Chunfeng said helplessly, even with a hint of indignation, as if this was really the case.

Tang Heng was half-believing and half-doubting, and he sighed deeply: "The garrison is a very important place, and yet there are dissidents sneaking in. If the chairman finds out, you and I will be punished."

The office fell silent.

After a while, Tang Heng looked at Xu Zengen again: "Didn't the Central Bureau of Investigation receive any intelligence?"

The reason why he asked this was that arresting the Red Party was the responsibility of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and under Xu Zengen of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, there was a group of "first-class talents" who were anti-Red, including many masters with real talents and skills.

Furthermore, in terms of anti-Red, no other Kuomintang agency or spy organization could surpass the "achievements" of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, not even the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics headed by the spy king Dai Chunfeng. Although the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics later surpassed the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and became the "big brother" of the agents under Chang, whether in the period of the Secret Service or up to now, when it comes to anti-Red, the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics is still not as good as the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and Dai Chunfeng is still not as good as Xu Zengen.

Tang Heng had said this openly. Once, because Dai Chunfeng was on tour, Tang Heng, as an "assistant", hosted the Prime Minister's Memorial Week activities on behalf of Dai Chunfeng. During the break, Tang Heng chatted with a large number of spies from the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation. Ye Xiangzhi, the former second-in-command of the Central Bureau of Investigation, asked this question: "Among all the intelligence units in the country, is the intelligence of the Military Bureau of Investigation second to none?"

Tang Heng answered without hesitation: "When dealing with the enemy and puppet regimes, the Military Control Commission has more methods. Military intelligence is still better in the Second Bureau (the Second Bureau of the Military General Staff is engaged in military espionage activities and is actually an open agency controlled by the Military Control Commission). When dealing with activities related to democratic parties and the Red Party, the Central Control Commission has the upper hand."

As the intelligence chief under Chang, he was responsible for integrating, verifying and processing the intelligence of various spy organizations, and reporting the most important ones to Chang. Therefore, when it comes to commenting on the strengths and weaknesses of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation, Tang was the only person within the Kuomintang who was qualified to do so.

Moreover, in the dispute between the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation, Tang Heng, who came from the Military Bureau of Investigation, has always been suspected of favoring the Military Bureau of Investigation. Therefore, since this comment came from his mouth, its authority is naturally beyond doubt.

At this moment, seeing that the "war" had spread to his side again, Xu Zengen was secretly holding back his anger. The status of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics as an authoritative anti-Red agency had been in decline since the beginning of the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Red Army in the War of Resistance. Suddenly, they had lost their opponent and were at a loss as to what to do at work, so they naturally treated it negatively.

Chang is still determined to oppose the Reds, but he is afraid of public criticism. He is hesitant and cautious, and the orders he issues are often contradictory. What can Xu Zengen do?

In order to fool the questioning from above, they could only make up some anti-Red intelligence or crack down on the Red Party organization behind closed doors. Only God knows how much of it is true. When he heard Tang Heng's question, he thought for a moment and said, "Of course I have a tip."

Tang Heng's eyes lit up, and he sat up straight and moved forward: "Is the news confirmed? Are there really dissidents active?"

Xu Zengen glanced at Dai Chunfeng meaningfully and said seriously, "Confirmed! According to the informant, a female Red Bandit has infiltrated the upper echelons of the military in disguise. I cannot tell you the details now."

"Oh." Tang Heng understood, "Then I will wait for Director Xu's good news."

Dai Chunfeng almost laughed out loud when he heard this, but he sneered in his heart. These bastards from the Central Bureau of Investigation have always liked to make groundless accusations and dilute the intelligence. They are all masters of talking. Now he can speak so brazenly and confidently, but when they can't catch the person, let's see how he will explain himself.

"Brother Naijian, rest assured that we will receive good news soon."

"That would be the best." Tang Heng thought for a moment and said with a serious face, "Brother Kejun, Brother Yunong, what happened tonight has alarmed the attendant room. The chairman has ordered us to solve the case within a time limit. It is my duty, so I will leave it to you two. If we fail to solve the case, the old man will definitely punish us."

After that, he stood up and saluted.

"It is our duty and we have no choice but to do it."

Xu and Dai each nodded and agreed.

After the conversation, seeing that Tang and Dai were sitting together again, Xu Zengen didn't take it seriously and quickly left the office.

As soon as he walked out of the office, he saw a figure walking back and forth anxiously in the corridor. It was his secretary.

The secretary said cautiously, "Commander, something has happened."

"What?" Xu Zengen frowned. The secretary was about to say something, but he waved his hand to stop him.

The two of them hurried downstairs and got into the car parked in the yard. He quickly asked:

"What happened?"

The secretary trembled: "Our safe house was attacked."

Xu Zengen's face darkened: "When did it happen?"

"About ten minutes ago, shortly after you left."

Xu Zengen was immediately frustrated and angry. Thinking of Dai Chunfeng's calm and composed look, he couldn't help but curse, "This little jerk."

I'm ready to calmly present facts and evidence to you, but damn it, if you can't win, then don't win, but you actually force yourself on me.

The secretary asked quietly, "Boss, what should we do now?"

"Who should I ask if you ask me? You are a bunch of useless people. Now that the evidence is gone, what can you use to fight against Dai? Let's go back first!" Xu Zengen gritted his teeth. How could he swallow this?

"Yes."

The night was gloomy, with sparse rain falling heavily.

Under the night sky, soft light shone through the second-floor windows of a two-story building in YZ District.

Zhao Qi stood downstairs of the two-story building, looked up at the lighted windows, confirmed the house number, and then walked up the stairs.

He went upstairs quietly, looked at the house number, glanced around vigilantly, and then knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened and Sheng Xiang, wearing a sweater, appeared at the door.

He looked at Zhao Qi, and Zhao Qi was also looking at him.

Sheng Xiang felt vaguely that the man in front of him looked familiar. After looking at him for several times, he suddenly remembered that he had accidentally caught a glimpse of this man when he went to "Shulu", the field reception office of the Military Control Commission. The other party was with several people from the inspection room.

He looked at Zhao Qi with a subtle look in his eyes. This face made every pore in Sheng Xiang's body open up. Why did the people from the inspection office come to see him? Could it be that he had discovered his identity?
"you are?"

Zhao Qi obviously recognized Sheng Xiang, and instead of answering, he asked, "Why, you don't recognize me?"

"I remember now. We met at Shulu when I was there doing some business."

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Yeah, we meet again so soon."

Sheng Xiang also smiled, but the smile was a little complicated.

The two did not speak again. After a brief silence, Zhao Qi took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "The boss asked me to come."

"Ah, Boss Dai is such a big shot, why would he think of me?"

"It's not a misunderstanding, it's Boss Xu."

"That Boss Xu?"

"Brother, we are family, so let's not talk about it. Boss Xu has told me your identity. It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. Now it's time for you to play your role."

Sheng Xiang looked incredulous, shocked and angry: "I don't understand what you are saying."

Zhao Qi disagreed: "Sheng Xiang, my real name is Wang Jin'ang, codename is Scorpion. Do you want me to continue?"

Sheng Xiang had a complicated expression on his face, lowered his head and did not answer.

After a while, he asked, "Does the boss have any instructions?"

"I don't know either. He asked me to pick you up and give you the mission personally."

"Where to go?"

"Don't ask."

Sheng Xiang was silent for a while, looked at him, and asked, "Where's the car?"

"It's on the other side of the road. The downstairs is too conspicuous. I didn't drive over."

A gust of cold wind blew over, and Sheng Xiang shivered slightly: "Okay, then I'll go put on some clothes."

Zhao Qi nodded.

Sheng Xiang turned and walked into the house. Zhao Qi stared at his back and saw him walk into the bedroom steadily in slippers.

After he entered the bedroom, Zhao Qi stepped into the room gently and carefully fastened the door bolt behind him.
