My spy diary

Chapter 502 Transfer (asking for monthly ticket)

"Thank you, Chairman, and thank you for your trust." Zhang Yi stood up respectfully and saluted.

“Those who sit down and do the facts should be rewarded.”

After saying this, Dai Chunfeng fell silent again, frowning and wondering what he was thinking.

The office suddenly became quiet. Zhang Yi and Mao Qiwu were both silent and no one spoke.

The wall clock was ticking, and the sound filled the office, making the atmosphere even more depressing.

After a long time, the phone on the table rang again. Dai Chunfeng picked it up and listened to a few words. His face became even uglier: "They want to interrogate Yang Zaixing."

It's obvious who they are talking about.

Dai Chunfeng hung up the phone, stood up, and said as he dialed the number, "I'll go see the chairman now."

"No!" Mao Qiwu said urgently.

Dai Chunfeng looked up at him, and Mao Qiwu continued, "Brother Yunong, have you forgotten Zhang Chao?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Chunfeng sat down again like a deflated ball, looking extremely depressed.

In 38, when the Military Control Commission was established, Dai Chunfeng suddenly received an urgent telegram from the Fujian Minbei Station, saying that their deputy station chief Zhang Chao had been ordered to be executed by Chen Gongxia, the chairman of Fujian Province.

Who is Zhang Chao?

Zhang Chao, a native of Changtai, Fujian, graduated from the sixth term of the Wuhan branch of the Whampoa Military Academy. In 33, he joined the Secret Service and was subsequently sent back to his hometown to lie undercover. His public identity was the head of the intelligence section of the Fujian Security Department, and his real identity was the deputy station chief of the Fujian Northern Fujian Station of the Secret Service.

Because of his ruthlessness and cruelty, this man was highly valued by Boss Dai and was regarded as a trusted and capable general.

He was lurking in Fujian. In addition to his job, he also had a secret mission, which was to monitor Chen Gongxia, a core member of the Political Science Department and the then Chairman of FJ Province.

Zhang Chao was arrogant because of his relationship with Boss Dai. In addition to recruiting local bandits to expand his power, he also actively bribed local soldiers and civilians by offering them official positions and promises. At first, his recommendation of Chen Gongxia was given a green light, and he recommended more than 20 county governors and provincial government councilors.

But Zhang Chao was not satisfied and kept recommending one list after another. This naturally aroused Chen Gongxia's vigilance, and he rejected all the lists he recommended.

Zhang Chao was so angry and humiliated that he even thought of bringing down Chen Gongxia.

As the saying goes, "If a few things are not kept secret, harm will come to pass." Zhang Chao's men secretly revealed the plan to Chen Gongxia, who was furious and ordered the provincial police chief to collect evidence of Zhang Chao's corruption and wait for an opportunity to arrest him.

After this incident, Zhang Chao naturally could no longer stay in Fujian, so Boss Dai had to transfer him away.

But Zhang Chao failed to overthrow Chen, and seeing that he was about to be driven out in disgrace, he was naturally unwilling to accept this. Before leaving, he became emboldened and decided to make a big scene before leaving to completely ruin Chen Gongxia's reputation.

Therefore, he processed the information he had collected about Chen Gongxia's crimes, compiled a list of "Ten Evidences of Crimes", and sent people to post them everywhere.

The most sensational piece of evidence was the revelation that Chen's wife was a Japanese spy, and that Chen had liaisons with the Japanese through his wife, which was why he was passive in resisting the Japanese and was suspected of being a traitor.

This heavy blow really hit Chen Gongxia's sore spot. He was so angry that he directly ordered the arrest of Zhang Chao. He did not show any mercy and publicly executed Zhang Chao for the crime of undermining the anti-Japanese war without waiting for Boss Dai to come to his aid.

After receiving the news, Boss Dai was furious. Since he took charge of the secret service, Chen Gongxia was the first local governor who dared to directly order the shooting of important military cadres. He had fought against others for half his life, winning every battle and rarely failing. He had never been despised like this before, so he immediately went to the chairman to complain.

However, Boss Dai underestimated Chen Gongxia, or rather, underestimated Chen's political skills. After all, Chen Gongxia was a core figure in the Department of Political Science and had been in officialdom for a long time. He knew the principle of taking the initiative. Without waiting for Dai Chunfeng to complain, he secretly sent his confidant to bring evidence of Zhang Chao's so-called "establishing armed forces without authorization, corruption and bribery, and selling official positions and titles" to the big boss of the Department of Political Science - Zhang Qun, the Secretary-General of the Military Commission and the chairman's close aide. Through Zhang Qun, he presented the evidence of Zhang Chao's crimes to a certain Chang.

Therefore, Boss Dai was a step late in filing the complaint, and not only was his complaint not approved, he was scolded instead.

One person was deeply distressed and stated his own opinion, while the other person launched an attack and demanded an explanation, furious.

As a result, Boss Dai got so angry that he contradicted Chang for the first time. After Chang said, "That's enough," he slammed the door and left.

This action once again angered Chang, who accused him of being "rude and disrespectful to elders." Boss Dai was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger and so aggrieved that he could only kneel down in front of Chang, crying bitterly and asking for "justice for the dead and protection for the living," and "threatening" that otherwise the work would not be able to proceed.

Chang was frightened by Dai Chunfeng's sudden kneeling, and the word "despicable" came out of his mouth.

These two words also hurt Dai Chunfeng. He was heartbroken: "I kneel in front of the principal today. If it is for personal promotion and wealth, then I am lowly and shameless, but my comrade was killed innocently. He wanted to organize a team to fight the Japanese, but before the team was formed, he was murdered under the pretext of 'establishing an armed force without authorization' and fell under the gun of his own people.

He died for his revolutionary work, so even if he offended Chen Gongxia, his crime did not deserve the death penalty.

Now everyone in the Secret Service is watching. Whether or not he can be avenged is no longer just a question for him, but it concerns how the entire Secret Service will carry out its work in the future. If the principal doesn't make the decision for me, I won't be able to do my job."

Chang Ben felt that it was too abnormal for his most trusted confidant to quarrel with him over a small spy. Now, after hearing what Dai Chunfeng said, he put himself in Dai's shoes and felt that what Dai said made sense. He did speak a little harshly just now, but the words had already been spoken and there was no way to take them back, so he simply walked away in anger.

Boss Dai was now in a difficult position. If he did not take revenge, he would be ashamed to face his subordinates. Who would be willing to work for the Military Control Commission in the future? Rather than letting others slaughter him, he decided to quit and wrote a 38-page resignation letter.

Fortunately, after receiving the resignation letter, Chang's anger had subsided. He immediately summoned Dai Chunfeng again and had a heart-to-heart talk with him for several hours, "presenting facts and reasoning", telling him his situation and difficulties, and persuading Dai Chunfeng to consider the overall situation and understand his painstaking efforts. After some heartfelt words, the teacher and student reconciled.

After Dai Chunfeng returned, he picked up a pen and wrote down the twelve words "adhere to the leader's will, understand the leader's painstaking efforts" as his motto, indicating that he would always remember it and would never cause trouble for the principal again.

Dai Chunfeng calmed down and frowned as he asked Mao Qiwu, "So let's just forget about this? What about Yang Zaixing?"

"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge," said Mao Qiwu. After Zhang Chao's death, Dai Chunfeng personally held a memorial ceremony and named the school after Zhang Chao to appease him. However, dozens of students recommended by Zhang Chao to the Linli training class were furious when they heard that their "sponsor" had been killed. They all shouted that they wanted to assassinate Chen Gongxia. Fortunately, Dai Boss stopped them in time and only assassinated the two military spies who secretly leaked information to Chen Gongxia in order to seek credit and reward.

This year, Chen Gongxia also stepped down due to his passive resistance to the war. Seeing that the power of the Military Control Commission was getting stronger and stronger, he was afraid and asked people to send messages to Dai Boss many times, wanting to have a meeting, but was rejected by Dai Chunfeng. However, Dai Chunfeng did not rashly do anything to Chen Gongxia (after Dai Boss's plane crashed, Mao Qiwu came to power and sent Chen to the west, of course, this is a later story.)
"Commander, since they want the person, why not give it to them? As long as Yang Zaixing refuses to admit it, what can they do? Even if there is evidence to prove that Yang Zaixing did it, he didn't kill anyone or set fire to anything. The worst that can happen is that he will be fired and imprisoned, and his life won't be in danger."

But the question is, once the person is handed over, can Yang Zaixing withstand the interrogation?
However, these were not what Zhang Yi cared about. He left the bureau headquarters and took Monkey and Qian Xiaosan directly to Wanglongmen Detention Center to start the inspection.

There were several luxury cars parked in front of the detention center. Li Shizhen was sitting in the middle of the cars. When Zhang Yi's car passed by him, he suddenly got out of the car and said with a mocking look on his face:
"Director Zhang, we meet again."

Zhang Yi knew exactly why he came, but he pretended to be confused: "What's the matter?"

"Of course! You snatched the suspect from me with your own hands. Now, I want you to hand it over to me personally."

As he spoke, he waved his hand with high spirits: "Give him the warrant." Zhang Yi looked up at him and said nothing.

Soon, a police officer in uniform took out an official document from his pocket and handed it over solemnly.

Zhang Yi did not take it, but looked at Monkey calmly. The latter understood and immediately got off the car. He took the document expressionlessly and looked at it for a few seconds. Without saying anything, he handed the document to Zhang Yi, then walked silently to the side of the car and stood still.

Zhang Yi took the document and looked at it for a few seconds. It clearly had the signature and seal of He Chengjun, the chief military law enforcement officer. He nodded slightly, returned the warrant, and then turned his gaze to Li Shizhen: "Since the procedures are complete, let's do it according to the rules."

This surprised Li Shizhen. He didn't expect that Zhang Yi, who was so arrogant in the morning, would be so easy to talk to at this moment. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhang Yi closed his eyes. Then Monkey waved to the guard at the door of the detention center, and the iron gate of the detention center slowly opened, and the car drove straight in.

"Follow me." Li Shizhen sneered, turned around and got into the car, motioning for him to follow in.

However, as soon as their car approached the iron gate, it suddenly closed.

The driver stuck his head out the window and yelled angrily, "Official business, open the door."

Two armed guards came over immediately and blocked the front of the car with their guns: "Stand back, this is a restricted area of ​​the prison, no outsiders are allowed to approach."

The police officer held up the document in his hand and said, "This is the procedure for handing over Yang Zaixing. The Military Law Enforcement Department has signed it. Everything is legal and compliant. Please cooperate!"

"I'm sorry, little officer. Please get out of the car and walk in for inspection."

"Commander Li, this is really too arrogant."

"Get out of the car!" Li Shizhen was so angry that his face turned blue, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He thought, "As long as Yang Zaixing is brought back, today's goal will be achieved. As for Zhang Yi, let him be arrogant for a few more days. Under the three woods, there is no shortage of excuses. As long as Yang Zaixing confesses, there are plenty of ways to frame Zhang Yi."

In the backyard of the detention center, there was a gentle breeze. Yang Zaixing was smoking a cigar while drinking soda and playing cards with a few plainclothes officers. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual.

"Director, the brothers have heard about what happened this morning. Hey, with Boss Dai backing you up, no one can do anything to you. It's just right that you can have a good rest for a few days."

"That's true. The boss always protects his own people, how could he let them suffer any injustice?" Yang Zaixing said with some pride. Obviously, he didn't take the fingerprints seriously at all.

"I heard that it was Director Zhang who stepped in at the critical moment and drove that group of people away?"

"Yes, it is said that guns were used."

Yang Zaixing: "No gun was fired, we just stopped them."

"It's dangerous enough. If Director Zhang doesn't take action, wouldn't the chief be in danger?"

"Well, Director Zhang is quite nice."

"I heard that Director Zhang saved the chairman's life a few days ago. Is that true?"

"Oh my, Director Zhang is going to make a great contribution this time!"

Yang Zaixing felt uncomfortable after hearing this: "Yes, Director Zhang has indeed made great contributions. I can't leave now, and I guess he will be in charge of the detention center. He has a lot of power."

"Even if they do, it's only temporary. Everyone knows that Wang Longmen's last name is Yang."

"Yes, we only listen to the director. Even if Director Zhang takes this position, in my heart, no one can replace the director."

Several people at the card table were trying to flatter him, but Yang Zaixing snorted without commenting.

At this moment, a guard ran in in a panic: "Captain, Captain!"

Yang Zaixing raised his head and looked at him in confusion.

Then Zhang Yi came in, followed by Li Shizhen and several plainclothes officers who were looking at him eagerly.

Yang Zaixing was stunned for a moment, then stood up in confusion: "Director Zhang, this..."

"Old Yang, don't worry. With the commander here, no one dares to do anything to you."

These words seemed like a whip slapping Yang Zaixing in the face, and he fell silent for a while.

"So, I'm going to go with them?"

"Don't worry, the bureau will find evidence. As long as we can prove that someone stole the stolen goods and framed someone, everything will be fine. Give the commander some time."

Having said that, Yang Zaixing still tightened his grip on the card table. He knew in his heart that life would not be so comfortable if he went to other places. He sighed and said gratefully:

"Director Zhang, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I would also like to trouble you to tell the director to rescue me as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, it will be quick!"

There was another long silence.

"I'm fine. I've seen all kinds of storms. But my wife and children, are they okay?" Yang Zaixing asked eagerly, holding onto the chess and card table.

"They are fine, don't worry, they have their own people to take care of them."

Yang Zaixing breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly, "Director Zhang, please help me take care of it. Please."

"Don't worry, it's our duty. Everyone knows that you were framed. Give the bureau some time and they will definitely clear your name." Zhang Yi lowered his voice and said, "Remember, grit your teeth and don't say anything."

"I understand." Yang Zaixing smiled bitterly, bowed to Zhang Yi, and then said to Li Shizhen in a "spirit of justice" manner, "Let's go, it's a good opportunity to go to the police station and see for ourselves."

Li Shizhen sneered and waved his hand. Several police officers rushed over, handcuffed Yang Zaixing, put a black hood on his head, and escorted him out.
