My spy diary

Chapter 456 The Principle of Recording (Part )
Hearing the brake sound, Xu Yedao was startled, grabbed Zhang Yi by the collar and neck, put the gun to his head, pushed him towards the window, and questioned:
"Who did you call?"

"You're overthinking. I've been in your sight the whole time. Where are you going to call for help? Could it be that Director Xu has let something slip?"

"Bullshit, no one knows anything about me."

Zhang Yi stared at him: "You didn't call me?"

Xu Yedao thought about it and his face suddenly darkened. He had indeed used the phone at home to make calls, one to a gangster and one to Captain Huang. Except for the call to Zhang Yi in the middle of the night which he used a public phone outside, the call to the one across the coffee shop just now was also made using the phone at home.

If it wasn't Zhang Yi who tipped off, then who could it be?

He had rescued the gang leader from prison. Not only did he still owe him a debt of gratitude for saving his life, but he also didn't know about his accident so quickly. The only one left was Captain Huang.

Did this guy sell himself out?
Thinking of this, his expression became more and more ugly.

"Open the window slowly. If you dare to play tricks, I will kill you immediately." Xu Yedao growled and pushed Zhang Yi behind the window.

Zhang Yi didn't say anything. He obediently opened the window a little and looked out. He saw two black cars downstairs. Adjutant Jia was giving search orders to several secret agents in plain clothes.

"I'm here to catch you, Old Xu. It's not too late for you to stop now."

"That's what I wanted to say to you." Xu Yedao sneered twice, "I can kill you right now."

"What's the charge?"

"Red."

"Empty words."

"There will be evidence."

Zhang Yi turned his head and looked at him: "At this point, why are you doing this? Think about it, although your accomplice Jin Xiaoyu is dead, there is still a Chen Jingrao. Maybe he has already taken a hot bath, drank coffee, and started bargaining with the bureau. If he confesses, you will really be out of money."

"Stop!" Without waiting for Zhang Yi to finish, Xu Yedao interrupted him angrily, suddenly raised the handle of the gun like crazy, and smashed it hard on his head.

Zhang Yi was hit hard, then took the opportunity to grab his hand and pulled the trigger towards the ceiling during the fight.

"boom"

Passersby heard gunshots in the apartment and began to scream and run around like headless flies, causing chaos on the street.

Hearing the sudden gunshots upstairs, the plainclothes officers downstairs rushed upstairs.

Seeing this, Xu Yedao suddenly became anxious. He stared with bloodshot eyes and pulled the muzzle of the gun towards Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi held the gun barrel with one hand and swung his other hand suddenly. A blade suddenly appeared in his hand and slashed towards Xu Yedao's hand holding the gun.

Xu Yedao dodged in a hurry, and another shot was fired. The bullet grazed Zhang Yi's scalp and hurt his eardrum, but he didn't care about so much at the moment. Instead of retreating, he advanced. While the blade cut the back of Xu Yedao's hand, he hit him hard on the cheek with a left hook.

Xu Yedao was caught off guard by this extremely powerful punch, his head was dizzy, and he hit the window frame with a bang. Zhang Yi took advantage of the situation and pounced on him, grabbed the gun barrel with a pair of pliers, and hit him hard with his right fist.

His fists were calm and powerful, and each punch brought with it a cloud of blood, until Xu Yedao was knocked to the ground.

At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door came closer and closer. Zhang Yi knew that the people from the inspection office had arrived, so he immediately shouted outside: "I am Zhang Yi, don't come in, the man named Xu has a grenade."

As he spoke, he grabbed Xu Yedao's gun and fired two shots at the door.

"bang bang"

A plainclothes officer was squatting at the door, listening attentively, when suddenly a bullet pierced his leg. Blood splattered all over the door, and he grimaced in pain.

Another plainclothes officer who was lying in ambush at the corner rushed over and desperately pulled him back.

Inside the house, Xu Yedao's face was covered in blood. He struggled to fight back, but Zhang Yi put a gun to his throat. He first took his pistol, then snatched the grenades from the opponent's waist one by one, then leaned over and whispered into Xu Yedao's ear:
"You're right, actually. It was our people who did it, but so what?"

At this point, Zhang Yi suddenly yelled, "Xu, are you crazy?"

As he spoke, he fired two more shots at the door, then quickly unloaded the magazine, wiped off his fingerprints and threw it aside. Then he took out a grenade, opened the safety catch, paused in his hand for a few seconds, threw it next to Xu Yedao, and jumped out of the window without hesitation.

Xu Yedao was stunned, his veins bulged on his forehead, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word. Looking at the grenade that was about to explode, his face turned pale as paper.

He couldn't care about anything else at this moment. He gritted his teeth, struggled to get up with all his strength, grabbed the pistol and magazine on the ground, and jumped out of the window.

Today is destined to be a life-and-death situation. If Zhang Yi doesn't die, he will definitely have to bear the blame.

At this moment, Xu Yedao had gone completely crazy. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to kill Zhang Yi.

As long as Zhang Yi is dead, can't he make up his own confession?
Outside the door, Adjutant Jia heard Zhang Yi yelling and didn't know what was going on inside. After thinking about it, he signaled another plainclothes officer to go over and break the door. The plainclothes officer just approached cautiously when a gunshot rang out. A bullet shot off one of his ears and blood gushed out.

The other plainclothes officers became anxious upon seeing this and began to dodge and fire. In an instant, the bullets turned the gate into a hornet's nest.

"Bang" Just as the door was broken open, there was a loud bang, a ball of fire gushed out, the window was blown over, broken glass splattered all over the ground, smoke filled the air, and it was a mess.

The grenade exploded. Adjutant Jia hid aside and said with lingering fear:

“There really is a grenade.”

As the smoke filled the air, a plainclothes officer bravely went in to take a look. He found that there was no one in sight and immediately reported to Adjutant Jia: "Director, he must have escaped by jumping out the window."

Without hesitation, Adjutant Jia drew his pistol and said, "Chase!"

Here, with a "bang", Xu Yedao fell heavily to the ground like a flour bag, and blood gushed out of his throat.

At the moment of the explosion, he jumped out of the window, but it was too late. A huge air wave swept in from behind and knocked him over. His face was also scratched by broken glass. A stream of blood flowed down his face, and together with the scars caused by Zhang Yi before, it was simply horrible to look at.

Compared to him, Zhang Yi's condition was naturally much better. Although he jumped from a three-story building and his feet were hit hard by the hard ground, causing him to break out in a cold sweat due to the pain, he was a professionally trained agent after all. After his feet landed on the ground, he quickly bent his knees slightly and rolled over to disperse some of the impact force. After a short rest, he stood up with gritted teeth.

He glanced at Xu Yedao who was lying on the ground dying, and frowned secretly. If this guy died like this, it might leave hidden dangers. It would be best if he died at the hands of the Inspection Office.

But is he really dead? If he is not dead, and falls into the hands of the inspection office, and turns against him during the interrogation, will Dai Chunfeng believe what he says, or what he says himself?
This will also cause unexpected changes.

Seeing the people from the inspection room running towards him with guns raised, Zhang Yi silently counted down in his mind. If Xu Yedao didn't react in a few seconds, he would have to go up and check, and maybe even kill him himself.

In a split second, as if they had telepathic connection, Xu Yedao, who was bleeding and dying, actually let out a wail and struggled to move. He must have fallen too heavily, and he used all his strength but was unable to get up.

After a while, he raised his head tremblingly, wiped the blood off his face, and saw Zhang Yi, his eyes instantly became fierce. He saw that Zhang Yi seemed to be in a daze, tremblingly grabbed the pistol, raised his hand and shot.

"boom"

Zhang Yi had anticipated his move and subconsciously dodged the shot by moving to the side. He caught a glimpse of the plainclothes officers from the inspection office approaching from the corner of his eye and was too lazy to deal with him, so he "escaped" forward desperately.

"Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi!"

Xu Yedao was yelling hysterically. His whole body felt like it was falling apart and he couldn't even stand up because of the pain. Seeing that Zhang Yi was about to escape, he immediately crawled forward while shooting frantically.

"bang bang bang"

Zhang Yigang gritted his teeth and jumped over the inspection room's car. Bullets rained down on the car windows. He fired back and hid behind the car.

Not far away, Xu Yedao was lying on the ground dejectedly, gasping for breath. He stared at the place where Zhang Yi was hiding. Just as he was about to crawl forward a few more steps, he suddenly found two feet along the chassis of the car. He was surprised and took a deep breath, held the gun with both hands, and pulled the finger on the trigger back suddenly.

"Fuck you, let's see how you run away now!"

However, at this moment, he heard a loud shout, "Xu Yedao", and before he could react, he saw a plainclothes officer with blood on his hands and covering his ears rushing towards him with a ferocious face. He pulled the trigger from a distance, and with a "bang", the gun went off.

Xu Yedao trembled all over and soon realized something. He lowered his head in disbelief and touched his neck, only to see a bloody hole made by a bullet and blood gushing out. He opened his mouth with difficulty, wanting to say something, but could not say anything and finally fell to the ground with a plop.

After a while, seeing that everything had returned to calm, Zhang Yi stumbled out from behind the car, walked to the body of Xu Yedao, looked at him silently for a moment, then frowned and said to the plainclothes officer in the inspection room who fired the shot:

"How did you kill him?"

The plainclothes officer covered his bleeding ear with a look of resentment: "He is a Red Party member, who else should we hit if not him?"

"But that's just a suspicion. There's no solid evidence yet, right?"

"It would be strange if he wasn't a member of the Red Party. He didn't hesitate at all when he shot at the brothers just now."

"Okay." Zhang Yi sighed.

At this time, Adjutant Jia also came over with his men. Looking at Xu Yedao, who was lying on the ground like a dead fish, he felt mixed emotions.

After a while, he glanced at Zhang Yi and asked in a deep voice:
"Deputy Director Zhang, what happened today?"

"Alas, it's hard to put it into words." Zhang Yi stood opposite with a serious expression and sighed again.

On the other side, Zheng Huhe returned to Yilu Apartment after making a phone call as a passerby and quietly entered the next room 301.

As soon as the people from the inspection room left, he immediately came out of the room, put on foot covers and gloves, quietly and quickly walked into room 302, and glanced at every corner of the room.

He picked up the phone quietly, took a look at it, and put it back. Then his eyes fell on the record player in the corner. He walked over and leaned over to take a look, then he smiled.

Then, he quickly took out the pocket recorder that was still running inside the record player, turned off the recording button, and returned to room 301 again.

On the table, next to the black briefcase were two pocket recorders, which he and Zhang Yi had bought at a high price from the black market after they had made a plan.

Looking at several identical tape recorders, Zheng Huhe breathed a sigh of relief.

In 1888, American engineer Oberlin Smith used fiber ribbons containing steel powder to record and play back music, which was the earliest exploration of magnetic tape recorders.

But this technology did not progress until 1932, when a German chemical company mixed black magnetic powder of ferroferric oxide with an adhesive and applied it to paper tape, which greatly improved the sound quality. In 35, General Electric Company of Germany finally developed the first magnetic tape based on this.

The most common device these days is the wire recorder, which records audio signals magnetically on a steel wire. If one wants to re-record the content, one must use a demagnetizing device to erase the original signal. He couldn't find this device on the black market, so his original plan was to use the recorder in his hand to make a substitution, since the two were identical, things became simpler.

There is a huge information pool in Zheng Huhu's mind, storing the knowledge he needs. When he needs it, he can quickly and accurately find the part he needs.

At this moment, he immediately turned on the tape recorder at Xu Yedao's residence, rewound it to the beginning, pressed the play button and listened for a while. Suddenly he smiled knowingly and began to operate it in an orderly manner.

So, a few minutes later, as he cut off the beginning and the end, deleted and added some, a new recording appeared.

Zheng Huhe had just put the radio with the new recording back and turned on the recording button again. He was tiptoeing to leave through the front door when he suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor.

He knew that if he left through the main gate at this moment, his identity might be exposed, so he immediately crouched down and walked towards the messy window.

The next moment, two plainclothes officers came in from the gate. One of them seemed to have noticed something. He held a gun and quietly moved towards the window. He turned around suddenly, but there was nothing there.

"what happened?"

"I seemed to hear some noise just now."

"Is this a hallucination? My head is still buzzing from the shock of that grenade just now."

"It's nothing serious." The man said, still worried, and went to the broken window to look up and down. The small balcony above him had been blown up long ago, but the one below him was almost intact.

But there was nothing there except a few pieces of clothing that had been knocked to the ground by the explosion.

At this moment, Zheng Huhe was holding a briefcase in his mouth and leaning against the balcony in a weird posture. Just when he was about to collapse, Adjutant Jia's voice came from afar:

"Did you find anything?"

Seeing Adjutant Jia coming, the plainclothes officers standing at the ruins left and went over to report.

Zheng Huhe climbed up to the balcony in fear, pushed open the window and sneaked in, then walked out through the front door as if nothing had happened.

Half an hour later, Adjutant Jia brought the tape recorder found in Xu Yedao's home back to the bureau.

I pressed the play button, and amid a burst of bright singing, a series of long and three short knocking sounds on the door were heard, "Dong-dong-dong-dong".

Then Xu Yedao's alert voice came out: "Who?"

"It's me, Lao Zheng."

Then the door was opened and then quickly closed, and the sound gradually became inaudible.

Hearing this, Dai Chunfeng's face darkened and his brows suddenly tightened.
