My spy diary

Chapter 469 New Goal (asking for monthly ticket)
Seeing this, He Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He didn't know that someone was eavesdropping on Zhang Yi, but was it just Zhang Yi, or was everyone being monitored?
You should know that his office is also undergoing some changes and has also been equipped with such a record player.

Although surveillance and being monitored are commonplace in this industry and everyone knows it tacitly, knowing is one thing and seeing it with your own eyes is another.

There is a saying that goes, I can play dumb, but you can't really treat me as a fool. Isn't it too unscrupulous to install a bug so blatantly?
While thinking, he frowned and looked at Zhang Yi, as if asking, what are you going to do?
Zhang Yi smiled calmly and said, "Director He, I heard that you recently got a can of good tea. I wonder if I can enjoy it now?"

As he said this, he walked to the table, took a pen and paper, wrote a few words, and then held up the paper.

There were only four words written on the paper: Follow the clues.

He Zhiyuan understood and nodded immediately, saying, "You are well-informed. Well, since I need your help today, I will do it for you."

As he spoke, he picked up the phone and dialed, "Secretary Fang? Bring the tea in my cabinet to Director Zhang's office. Yes, the jar at the bottom of the cabinet. Hurry up."

Next door, Secretary Liu was wearing headphones and holding his breath, but the conversation between the two of them disappointed him greatly. They even talked about the tea ceremony, and the name of the informant was not revealed for a long time. He was so anxious that he scratched his head, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. After a "come in", the door opened, and then footsteps were heard, followed by a voice: "Director He, the tea you ordered."

Secretary Liu recognized the voice as that of He Zhiyuan's secretary Xiao Fang. Since ancient times, people in the same profession have looked down on each other. Secretary Liu has always been disdainful of Xiao Fang, who has a fawning face and can only suck up to others.

"Okay, you can go back." This was He Zhiyuan's voice.

"It's really good tea. Haha, I'm in for a treat today." Zhang Yi's voice was heard immediately, followed by the sound of running water. Although Secretary Liu couldn't see it, he already had a picture in his mind: scalding the cup, washing the tea, and brewing it.

Sure enough, Zhang Yi's voice was heard afterwards: "Come on, Mr. He, I'd like to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha."

"Mm, it tastes really good!"

Hearing this, Secretary Liu's expression gradually became impatient, and he cursed inwardly, "Why don't you say something? You're just an old ox trying to pull a broken cart - why are you so slow?" He had been paying attention to the two people talking, and had no idea that He Zhiyuan had quietly passed a note to Secretary Fang, who read it and left with a serious face.

After a while, Monkey came with a few capable plainclothes men in cloth shoes, and walked over quietly and quickly, arriving silently outside the door of Secretary Liu's room. Their movements were careful and efficient, and there was no sound at all in the corridor.

At this moment, Zhang Yi put down his teacup and stood up, looking at He Zhiyuan and asked, "Director He, how does our Military Control Commission deal with those who betray their own people?"

"Execute immediately."

Secretary Liu was shocked when he heard these words in his earphones. He swallowed his saliva, his hands trembled slightly, and he was stunned again. Weren't they talking about the tea ceremony? How did they get to this again?

Just as I was doubtful, I heard footsteps coming from the earphone again, and it became clearer and clearer, followed by a sentence "Secretary Liu, you disappoint me so much!"

These words were clearly transmitted to Secretary Liu's headphones without missing a word. He was immediately shocked and took off his headphones. Just as he was about to put away the surveillance equipment, the plainclothes officers who were ambushing outside broke in with a "bang" and rushed over with a gun pointed at his head.

Then he was escorted to Zhang Yi's office.

Zhang Yi and He Zhiyuan looked at him coldly. Several plainclothes officers held him down. Secretary Liu knelt in fear and trepidation, feeling like a dog surrounded by jackals.

Zhang Yi: "Secretary Liu, you disappoint me so much."

Secretary Liu's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to look him in the eye. He said tremblingly, "I, I..."

"You're not going to tell me, right? Send me to the interrogation room directly."

Secretary Liu panicked: "This is all from Director Mao."

"Pa pa!" Before he could finish his words, he was slapped twice on the face, "You lie."

Secretary Liu was horrified: "I didn't do that. Director Mao really told me to do that. I..."

"Do you have a warrant? How about I call Director Mao?"

Secretary Liu was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Yi glanced at him coldly and said, "Send him to the interrogation room."

"I want to see Director Mao, I want to see Director Mao"

No one paid any attention to him. When he mentioned Director Mao, his fate was sealed. The plainclothes police took out a piece of rag, stuffed it into his mouth, and dragged him away like a dead dog.

When Li Aiguo walked out of the brothel, he looked haggard. Rickshaws, trams, and buses passed by him one after another, and he wanted to stop them but stopped. At this moment, his mind was blank. Since he stepped onto Lin Xiao's pirate ship, he had imagined various ways to be exposed, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden, to be caught in such a cowardly way, and to become a double agent. Now the only hope is that Zhang Yi can keep his word and Lin Xiao will not discover the fact that he betrayed him.

He was stunned for a long time until the sound of a car horn woke him up and his mind became clearer. He immediately rushed into the crowd of oncoming passers-by. In a trance, he suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him were a little strange, as if everyone was ignoring him, but as if everyone was staring at him intentionally or unintentionally. Thinking of the lifelike Military Control Commission agent who was disguised as a rickshaw driver, and thinking of what Lin Xiao said that there was more than one pair of eyes staring at him, Li Aiguo became even more frightened.

He hurriedly and carefully avoided the sight of passers-by, walking among the crowd in a daze, with more and more beads of sweat on his forehead.

He used all his skills and all the anti-tracking techniques he had learned to keep avoiding the tracker he imagined, and before he knew it, he walked to a roadside cigarette stand opposite the safe house.

He picked up a box of cigarettes from the cigarette stand, first looked at the entrance of the apartment building, then looked at both ends of the street, and after finding nothing unusual, he put down the banknotes, picked up the box of cigarettes, crossed the street, and walked into the apartment door.

Then he opened the door and went in, and a gun was pointed at his head.

It’s Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao motioned him to close the door, and then said, "Take out everything you have."

Li Aiguo pretended to be calm: "What do you mean?"

Lin Xiao said nothing, just looked at him straight with the gun in hand.

Li Aiguo opened his mouth and quickly took out all his belongings and placed them on a small stool: wallet, keys, cigarette case, matches, and a piece of vanishing cream the size of a fingernail.

Lin Xiao picked up these things and examined them carefully one by one, then threw them aside one by one.

After finding that there was nothing unusual about these items, Lin Xiao poured a glass of water for Li Aiguo and asked with a smile: "Where did you go today?"

"I didn't go anywhere, just walked around." Li Aiguo took the water cup, forced a stiff smile, and drank it all in one gulp.

Unexpectedly, just as he swallowed the water, Lin Xiao suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and put the gun to his head again.

Li Aiguo's body became stiff instantly.

Lin Xiao's elegant and handsome face was as cold as ice at the moment, and he sneered: "Do you have anything to say?"

Li Aiguo's heart trembled: "What?"

"I asked you where you were going? You'd better tell the truth."

So this was the reason. Li Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed his words to: "Clinic, brothel."

"Which clinic? Which brothel?"

Li Aiguo tells the truth.

"anything else?"

"Gone."

Lin Xiao pulled the trigger with his finger, the muzzle of the gun pressed firmly against his forehead, and said fiercely: "This is your last chance, you'd better tell the truth."

"No, I'm telling the truth." Li Aiguo was trembling all over, but he clenched his teeth and looked determined.

"Tell me the truth!" Li Aiguo stared with red eyes and said again: "No more."

Lin Xiao stared at him intently for a few seconds before putting away his gun. He patted his face with disdain and said, "How dare you lie to me?"

Li Aiguo's whole body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Seeing his cowardly look, Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with even more contempt, and he said proudly, "Do you know how I knew you were lying?"

"Are you following me?" Li Aiguo asked tentatively.

Lin Xiao shook his head.

"That is?"

Lin Xiao kept the suspense going for a long time before he smiled smugly, walked over to pick up the matches he had just thrown aside, and said:
"This kind of matches with thick stems and fat heads are rarely circulated in the market. They are usually supplied to restaurants, brothels, and hotels. The names of these businesses are printed on the outer packaging to advertise them widely. Haha, do you think I can't find out if you tear off the outer packaging? Humph, combined with the smell of rouge and opium on your body, I dare to be sure that you have been to a brothel. Humph, you should be glad that you didn't lie just now, otherwise I would have shot you long ago."

"So that's how it is." Li Aiguo pretended to be surprised, but in his heart he admired Zhang Yi even more. Although he didn't understand what the other party was talking about psychology, primacy, and contrast effect, he did this completely in accordance with what Zhang Yi taught him. If he lied the first time and suddenly told the truth under pressure the second time, the contrast between the two might make the other party feel more credible.

"Humph, what do you think?" Lin Xiao studied Li Aiguo's expression, smiled smugly, and then changed the subject, "Okay, get up, pack up and move immediately."

"Transfer?"

"The situation is tense recently, let's change places."

"Oh." Li Aiguo, who had recovered from his shock, didn't ask where he was going. He struggled to get up and went into the bedroom to pack up.

Lin Xiao stared at his back for a few seconds, then carefully walked behind the window, hooked a corner of the curtain with his finger, and looked out through the gap.

In the office, after dealing with Secretary Liu, Zhang Yi and He Zhiyuan continued the previous topic.

"Li Aiguo is really still alive? Has he been instigated by you to rebel?"

"Yes, in addition to him, we now also have the identity of the 'military advisor'." Zhang Yi said, taking out a sketch from his arms.

"he is?"

"Lin Xiao, a doctor at the Army Hospital."

He Zhiyuan's eyes lit up: "Great, I finally found a clue." He subconsciously stood up and was about to arrange for the arrest, but as soon as he got up, he suddenly remembered that the person in charge of the case was Chen Tumu, and such clues must not be told to him. After a pause, he said:
"Let's report to Boss Dai first."

"Don't worry, the key is still to come."

"Ok?"

Zhang Yi did not keep the secret and recounted what Li Aiguo had overheard.

"Japanese spy?" He Zhiyuan's eyes lit up. "Brother, this is a tough one. As long as we catch this person, maybe the case of stealing secrets can be solved."

Zhang Yi was not so optimistic and sighed: "We are still not sure whether they are in the same group. Although we can definitely find his whereabouts as long as we keep an eye on Lin Xiao, I am more worried about another thing."

"what?"

"Li Aiguo, and what he is doing now."

"You mean the bomb?"

"Yes, they have already blown up the medical warehouse, and are now making bombs, which means they have a new target."

Hearing what he said, He Zhiyuan's expression also became solemn. After thinking for a while, he said sternly: "This matter must be reported to the director immediately."

Zhang Yi nodded solemnly.

The door of Dai Chunfeng's office opened and Mao Qiwu walked in.

Dai Chunfeng looked at the newspaper and said without looking up: "You have to be careful when installing a bug under someone's nose."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mao Qiwu's face. He hesitated and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Dai Chunfeng:

"What is Chen Tumu busy with?"

"I heard they are investigating the person who killed the traitor."

"Oh? Did you find any clues?"

"No, I've been asking around."

"What does Chen Tumu think of these two cases?"

"I heard that he has lost his temper several times today."

Dai Chunfeng sneered: "There is no progress in the case, so he can't sit still?"

"Well, the police station was arresting people everywhere today, but it seems that they didn't get much. So far, they haven't found any valuable clues. I heard from Li Shizhen's men that he is beginning to regret taking over this case."

Dai Chunfeng disagreed: "It's only a matter of time. He is an expert in deploying troops, but he is an amateur in investigating cases. How can he solve a case? Humph."

Mao Qiwu thought for a moment and whispered, "Commander, we haven't found anything useful here. What should we do next?"

"Didn't He Zhiyuan say that Zhang Yi did some psychological profiling? He arrested a lot of people, but did he get any results?"

"I have examined them all, and none of them are true."

Dai Chunfeng pursed his lips and took a deep breath: "There is no progress in the visit to the crime scene?"

"Ah."

Dai Chunfeng rubbed his brows and said, "Now the clue is broken again."

"Yeah, then, what should we focus on next?"

Dai Chunfeng sighed: "I have no idea now."

At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and Adjutant Jia came in and reported:
"Mr. Dai, Director He and Director Zhang want to see you."

Dai Chunfeng glanced at Mao Qiwu and asked Adjutant Jia, "What's the matter?"

Adjutant Jia said in a deep voice: "They said they have important clues to report."

Dai Chunfeng was shocked: "Let them in quickly!"

In Lin Xiao's house, on the table in the bedroom, there was a map of the urban area of ​​Shancheng.

Under the light, Lin Xiao's fingers moved on the map. Soon, he found a location on the map and drew a circle on it with a pencil.

This is his new goal.
