My spy diary

Chapter 513 A critical moment

There were guards standing guard all the way from the corridor to the door of the director's office, and the atmosphere was serious.

As soon as He Shangyou entered the office, the guard immediately closed the door.

He came in with a serious face, nodded and greeted Dai Chunfeng and Mao Qiwu in front of him, and immediately noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Boss Dai and Mao Qiwu both looked at him with inquiring eyes.

However, Yang Zaixing, deputy director of the Judicial Department, had a gloomy face and just stared at the floor.

Of course he didn't know that Yang Zaixing had just been severely scolded by Boss Dai.

He Shangyou didn't have the heart to think about anything else at this moment. He bowed respectfully and took a step forward:
"Commander, let me first report on the search just now."

Boss Dai's face became uglier as he listened to He Shangyou's report: "How come Wang Lingji is involved? Is he also red?"

This question stumped He Shangyou. He thought about it and hurriedly explained, "That's not the case. According to my experience, the Red Party likes to play idle chess and burn cold stoves the most. This shopkeeper Yang might be an idle chess piece played by the Red Party next to Commander Wang. This time he is using his position to help the Red Party."

Dai Chunfeng did not comment: "Is there any evidence?"

"I have my reasons for doubting." At this point, He Shangyou spoke almost word by word, "Now, I'd rather believe it than not believe it!"

Dai Chunfeng glanced at him and asked solemnly, "How did you arrange it?"

"I have already had people keep an eye on the shopkeeper and his family, including those who have close contact with him."

"anything else?"

He Shangyou hesitated for a while and asked, "I wonder if Laojiu has made any progress?" Laojiu was Yang Laojiu Yang Zaixing. After all, the "crab" he had high hopes for, as well as his so-called intelligence, were all based on the fact that this person was still alive. If Yang Zaixing could find any flaws from the corpse, it would undoubtedly increase his chances of winning.

Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly: "Talk about your business."

He Shangyou was a little at a loss, so he looked at Mao Qiwu.

Mao Qiwu forced a smile on his round face, nodded to him, and then said, "Director Yang, we haven't found anything yet."

"Okay." He Shangyou sighed. This news sounded both gratifying and disappointing. "In this case, Xie is probably in danger, but..." He paused and continued, "But I always feel that there are too many coincidences and unsolved mysteries in this matter, so I can't give up the investigation until the last minute. Therefore, I have made the following arrangements -
“I have arranged special personnel at home and in the office to attend the phone 24 hours a day.

In the second step, I will send intelligence agents and informants to keep a close eye on all the main traffic routes in and out of the mountain city.

Third, mobilize all informants and operators to keep a close eye on the Red Party office.

Fourth, monitor the areas where underground party members often operate.
Fifth, mobilize patrol officers from all police stations under our control to strengthen patrols. Sixth, set up a mobile team."

He was talking excitedly when suddenly the phone on the table rang.

Dai Chunfeng picked up the phone: "Bring it in."

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Adjutant Jia walked in with the doctor who had just treated Zhang Yi.

Doctor: "Mr. Dai, according to Director Mao's instructions, I have conducted a comprehensive examination on Director Zhang and can confirm that he is not infected with any infectious disease."

"Does that mean he's not sick?"

"That's not the case. He did catch a cold and has a slight fever, but it's not a big problem."

Dai Chunfeng frowned when he heard this and waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly, and Adjutant Jia took the doctor out.

"Director?" The two men left, and without anyone to disturb them, He Shangyou was about to continue reporting his plan when he saw Boss Dai stand up and check his watch:

"Since you have made up your mind, let's deploy it. I will ask the people from the Inspection Department and the Supervision Office to assist you."

"Yes." He Shangyou felt the support behind him.

The setting sun shone obliquely on the window lattices of Zhang Yi's house. At this time, his curtains were still closed.

Zhang Yi turned on the light, sat at the table, smoked a cigarette, and fell into deep thought.

They have examined the patient and checked the body, so they should have found nothing. However, the surveillance personnel have not yet withdrawn. So what exactly are they suspecting?

Where exactly is the flaw?
Thinking of this, he first went to the window and observed for a while, and then immediately began to search the house carefully.

They searched the sofa, coffee table, telephone, ceiling, cabinets, corners and even behind the wall clock, radio and phonograph, all places where eavesdropping devices might be hidden.

Bookstore, secret room.

An ad hoc party group meeting is being held.

Li Nan looked around at everyone and said, "Secretary Wang just conveyed the instructions from the higher authorities. Several comrades have applied to stay. Please share your ideas."

"I still insist on staying." Zhao Jinglun stood up slowly and spoke righteously.

"Please sit down." Li Nan's tone was still low, but it revealed sternness. "I never deny the revolutionary enthusiasm of comrades, but since the organization has made a decision, as subordinates, we must obey unconditionally."

Zhao Jinglun sat back down.

Li Nan continued, "Have you ever thought about how much effort the organization has put in to rescue us? We are all people who have been arrested. How can we stay here? How can we work? If we are discovered by the enemy, it will only bring danger to our comrades on other fronts."

The secret room was already quiet, and at this moment it was so quiet that you could even hear your heartbeat.

Zhao Jinglun was silent for a while, then raised his head again, looked around at everyone, and said:

"Comrade Li Nan, obeying superiors is the discipline of our underground work, I understand this.

However, every Party member must independently and truly understand the spirit of the instructions from the superiors. In this regard, Comrade XX is our shining example.

He never believed in dogma at every critical moment of the revolution, including the blind command of the Red Party International. I just said that if I stay, I don’t have to stay in Shancheng, I can stay in other cities, as long as I can do some work for the organization and the people. Therefore, in the name of a party member, I once again solemnly suggest to the organization that I stay. This is what I really think, I have said it, please let Secretary Li make the decision. "

It was a tit-for-tat situation. If there were any other way, Zhao Jinglun would not be willing to take this step, but he had no choice. In order to stay alive and to escape, he could only take a gamble.

"You are sophistry!" Li Nan also got excited. He stood up and paced hard in the small secret room.

Suddenly, he stopped and said, "I still say the same thing. I will resolutely and unconditionally obey the orders of my superiors!"

Zhao Jinglun was silent again. After a long while, he seemed to be convinced by these words and said slowly, "I will obey your arrangement."

While saying this, he had also made the decision in his heart that he must escape, tonight.

He quietly touched his calf, where a pair of chopsticks that he had secretly hidden while eating were hidden. He planned to take advantage of the dead of night to sneak attack Li Nan and create chaos.

Late at night.

Zhang Yi still sat there, thinking hard, but still had no clue. [Today's intelligence has been updated]

[1. You met Zhao Jinglun today and obtained relevant information - Zhao Jinglun's code name is 'Crab' and he was planted by He Shangyou.]

Seeing this, Zhang Yiquan understood.

He frowned with a serious look, and after thinking for a few seconds, he realized the seriousness of the situation.

This hidden agent is now mixed in with the more than 20 Red Party members and may have already started the action. One minute late means a living bomb out of control.

He must pass the information to Zheng Huhe immediately and eliminate this person.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi immediately disguised himself and went out.

Standing at the door of the apartment, he could already see the eye-catching telephone booth not far away, and of course, the couple selling wontons who had not yet closed their stall.

He stopped, stood there for a while, then turned around and walked back.

After going up to the third floor, he looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual. Then he walked forward quietly and stopped in front of a house.

After listening at the door for a while, he took out a piece of wire from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and after poking it up and down a few times, the lock opened with a "click".

Zhang Yi went in quietly, closed the door softly, paused, listened carefully, and then tiptoed towards the telephone next to the sofa.

It was late at night and Zheng Huhe was discussing the matter of raising medicines with Secretary Wang when suddenly the phone rang.

He was shocked and picked up the phone immediately.

I only heard the voice on the other end of the phone: "Zhao Jinglun is an undercover agent of the Military Control Commission. It has been confirmed. We will deal with him immediately!"

After the phone call, Zheng Huhe looked solemn.

"What happened?" Secretary Wang asked.

"Zhao Jinglun is a spy who has infiltrated our ranks."

"How can this be?"

"The news is accurate."

Secretary Wang was stunned for a moment. Although he was shocked and confused, he knew that Zheng Huhe was in charge of a highly confidential intelligence line. This intelligence line provided a lot of crucial information and saved countless comrades' lives. Its authority was unquestionable. More than ten or twenty years of experience in underground work made him calm down immediately:
"We'll go find him now."

In the secret room, most people had fallen into a deep sleep. Zhao Jinglun quietly opened his eyes with a sneer on his lips. As long as the next plan went smoothly, these so-called underground party elites could be wiped out, and the excavation could even get bigger.

Thinking of this, he stood up, holding his stomach, and nudged Li Nan who was sleeping beside him: "Old Li, do you have paper? My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."

Li Nan was half asleep. He fumbled and pulled out an old newspaper: "Use it sparingly."

"Hey, hey, okay." Zhao Jinglun took it hurriedly and was about to grope his way towards the door of the secret room when suddenly the door of the secret room opened and Secretary Wang and the shopkeeper came down with flashlights.

Secretary Wang walked to the front, woke up Li Nan first, then woke up everyone in turn, and then said in a low and powerful voice:
"Comrades, due to an emergency, everyone must evacuate immediately. From now on, no one is allowed to act alone. Gather outside in groups of three and follow the shopkeeper. As for where to go, don't ask until you arrive."

Everyone was shocked and confused, but no one asked any questions. Within a few minutes, everyone had filed out of the secret passage.

Zhao Jinglun and Li Nan walked at the back. He quietly touched the chopsticks that had been hidden in his sleeves and put them down again. The situation outside was unclear. At this moment, it was definitely not a good time for him to act. He could only think of a way during the transfer.

However, just as he passed by Secretary Wang, Secretary Wang called him.

"Comrade Zhao Jinglun, I have consulted with my superiors, and they have approved your application to stay, but not in Shancheng."

"Where are you going?" Peeking through the flashlight, Secretary Wang's face showed nothing unusual, so he pretended to be excited and happy and asked.

"It hasn't been decided yet. I'm telling you so that you can be mentally prepared." Secretary Wang smiled and turned to walk up.

"Always be prepared." Zhao Jinglun smiled confidently and followed cautiously step by step.

Just as Secretary Wang stepped out of the secret room, he suddenly turned around and shone the flashlight in his hand directly on Zhao Jinglun's face. His sharp eyes stayed on the other's face for a few seconds, and then he asked in a cold voice:
"who are you?"

Zhao Jinglun was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" At this moment, he knew that his identity was under suspicion. He took a step forward calmly, pretending to be angry and aggrieved, "If the organization does not trust me, I am willing to accept the investigation."

Secretary Wang sneered: "You should indeed be investigated, but not investigated, but tried - you are a dog spy of the Military Control Commission."

"Are you mistaken? How could I be..." Seeing his identity completely exposed, Zhao Jinglun's eyes showed a look of despair. While speaking, his right hand quietly touched the cuff of his left hand, and then he suddenly pulled out a chopstick, rushed over and stabbed Secretary Wang's neck, "Let's die together. I don't believe I can control you, I..."

At this critical moment, a big hand swiftly pulled Secretary Wang back, and the chopsticks rubbed Secretary Wang's throat and missed.

Then, the hand grabbed Zhao Jinglun's wrist like lightning, and the right hand clenched into a fist and hit his wrist hard. Zhao Jinglun immediately let out a muffled groan, and his hand loosened, and the chopsticks fell to the ground with a "pop".

Then, the owner of the hand stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Jinglun by the collar, and chopped him on the back of the neck with a knife. He trembled and fell to the ground.

Under the flickering light, Zheng Huhe's figure appeared. He glanced at Zhao Jinglun coldly and dragged him out like a dead dog.

The night is gloomy.

Several days passed and He Shangyou still didn't receive any news from "Crab". Although he said that more haste makes waste, his patience had long been worn out, and all that was left was fatigue and irritability.

He had no choice but to take the initiative to find Boss Dai and apologize.

As he walked towards the director's office with his head down, Zhang Yizheng came over from the other side of the stairs. The two met face to face, stopped, and looked at each other in silence.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

After a while, Zhang Yi spoke first: "Director He, what are you busy with?"

He Shangyou smiled awkwardly, as a response to Zhang Yi's words. After that, the two of them walked towards Boss Dai's office together.

The atmosphere eased a little. He Shangyou looked at Zhang Yi and took the initiative to start a conversation:

"Director Zhang, you look so rosy-cheeked. Are you well again?"

"Okay, thank you for your concern. Hey, you don't look well, and your eyes are red."

"Busy, didn't sleep well, we were thinking about different things."

"What are you busy with? Catching the Reds? I heard that the Intelligence Department has been dispatched everywhere recently. I wonder when I can have a drink to celebrate the victory of the director."

".It's almost there!" He Shangyou's face twitched unconsciously.
