My spy diary

Chapter 526 Clues
In the office of the head of Group 6 of the attendant's room, the three old friends sat together.

Tang Heng sat in the main seat, Dai and Xu sat opposite him, one looked relaxed and at ease, the other was full of confidence.

Tang Heng poured tea for the two of them, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got down to business, asking, "Brother Yunong, do you think Yang Zaixing kidnapped and assassinated Meng Zhen?"

Dai Chunfeng answered firmly: "Absolutely not!"

Tang Heng nodded, and then stopped talking, turning his eyes to Xu Zeng'en. Although he was from the Military Control Commission and was recommended by Dai Chunfeng to be the head of the intelligence work in the attendant's office, he was always cautious and careful, and worked under the chairman's nose, so he always took the attitude of not offending anyone, was impartial, and cleverly avoided specific questions of right and wrong, leaving everything to the chairman to decide.

Xu Zeng snorted, took out a stack of photos of Meng Zhen's crime scene, placed them in front of Dai Chunfeng, and said sternly:

"This is evidence."

Dai Chunfeng remained calm, picked up the photo, looked at it for a few seconds, then threw it on the table, shook his head and said:
"I think there are too many suspicious points in this case. As far as I know, when Meng Zhen was attacked, Yang Zaixing was on his way to the Central Hotel. Later, you arrested him without asking any questions. How did he have the time to commit the crime?"

"He has an alibi, but that doesn't mean he is innocent. Besides, we have obtained a confession signed by Yang Zaixing himself." Xu Zeng'en was obviously prepared and immediately took out a confession.

"Really?" Dai Chunfeng looked surprised. He took the confession and looked at it for a few seconds, then smiled disdainfully: "Could it be that you confessed under torture?"

Xu Zeng shook his head seriously. "They used some torture, but they didn't force him to confess. We in the Central Bureau of Investigation always take cases seriously and pay attention to real evidence that can stand up to scrutiny."

Dai Chunfeng did not comment, but shook his head and said, "Even if the confession is true, it does not prove anything. Strictly speaking, people who have been tortured are mostly confused, and their confessions are not necessarily reliable. False confessions often mislead the identification of intelligence. I think we should be cautious about this matter. Since Yang Zaixing is a soldier, we might as well send him to the Military Law Enforcement Directorate for a thorough investigation and careful identification. This is always more reliable than torture."

Xu Zeng'en was speechless. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such a shameless person. He thought, people who were born as gangsters are thick-skinned and lie with open eyes. According to your logic, which Japanese spy or Red Party member did not get tortured by your military control? Could it be that they were all wrong? Besides, everyone knows that the Military Commission's Military Law Enforcement Directorate is your military control's territory.

He sneered: "You are right, I have submitted the case to the attendant room."

Then he changed the subject: "According to what Brother Yunong said, Yang Zaixing was framed. Who would frame him? The vested interests? Aren't they your Military Control Commission's people? How do you explain this?"

Dai Chunfeng sighed, "Yeah, I can't figure this out either." Halfway through his words, he suddenly sneezed several times, pinching his nose and asking, "Do you have a handkerchief?"

The saliva splashed all over Xu Zeng'en's face, and he turned away with a look of disgust.

"Brother Yunong, do you have rhinitis?" Tang Heng quickly asked his secretary to get a handkerchief.

Dai Chunfeng blew his nose and continued, "Could it be the Red Party who did it?"

Xu Zeng sneered and said meaningfully: "That was also done by the Red Party lurking within your group. How could outsiders know the discord between Meng and Yang?"

Dai Chunfeng's heart was slightly disturbed, but he retorted: "That's not necessarily true. If we talk about the Red Party, there are more Red Party members lurking within your ranks. What if that traitor is playing both sides and wants to return to the embrace of his ancestors?"

This statement is naturally a satire on the Central Bureau of Investigation being the base camp of the Red Party traitors.

This is true. Since the "Hua Guangqi" case, more and more Red Party traitors have joined the Central Bureau of Investigation. Although these "Judases" have lost the soul of the Red Party, they still have some of the Red Party's style. Compared with the Guo Party spies, they are somewhat outstanding. Xu Zeng'en accepted everyone who came, "using their talents, not trusting their morals." As long as they were not in core departments or confidential positions, he would make full use of their talents and boldly use them.

This is very different from the Military Control Commission. Dai Chunfeng's ruling style has always been known for being a tyrannical one. He can kill or give life, laugh or scold at will, and use harshness and brutality to establish his prestige. He treats his own people like this, not to mention traitors. He uses them when he can use them, and discards them immediately when he can't.

Xu Zeng'en's ruling style was quite "kingly", and on the surface he was gentle and humane. He believed in using softness to overcome hardness, and was known for his insidiousness and viciousness.

In Xu Zeng's view, these Red Party rebels abandoned their original political ideals and betrayed their brothers and comrades who fought together because they were afraid of death and lived in shame. In the process of their soul degeneration, they naturally experienced a fierce and deep psychological struggle and mental journey.

In their hearts, they are often more sensitive and have higher self-esteem than their spies, but I not only provide them with jobs and help them get promoted and make money, but more importantly, I provide them with a relatively relaxed political environment and show concern for them from time to time. They find psychological balance and naturally feel grateful to me for recognizing their talents and I am not afraid that they will not work for me.

Therefore, he was bold in using traitors. The second group of the bureau headquarters, from the group leader, deputy group leader, section chief, general secretary, secretary, and assistant secretary, can be said to be a group of Red Party traitors.

Hearing this, Xu Zeng'en was neither annoyed nor annoyed, and even said with a little complacency: "So what? Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. To deal with the Red Party, we must naturally give them a taste of their own medicine."

Dai Chunfeng smiled without saying anything, his sharp eyes looked through Xu Zeng'en behind his glasses, and after a pause, he changed the subject:
"I received a tip-off that Meng Zhen is entangled with the Red Party. Do you know about this, brother?"

"Brother Yunong, what you mean is that you have planted a spy in our Central Bureau of Investigation?"

Dai Chunfeng smiled meaningfully: "I didn't say that, but Brother Jun is overthinking it."

"You said Meng Zhen was entangled with the Red Party. Do you have any evidence?"

"It is not convenient to disclose it for the time being."

What followed was naturally a close combat with swords and sabers. The two men each held their own opinions and had their wins and losses, but neither could do anything to the other. Tang Heng also tried to mediate, so the conversation naturally ended unpleasantly. They each left in disappointment, waiting for the chairman's final decision.

As soon as Dai Chunfeng returned to the office, he called Mao Qiwu and He Shangyou, briefly described the process of meeting with Xu Zeng'en, and asked: "What do you think about this matter?"

Mao Qiwu was still thinking, He Shangyou said first: "Speaking of vested interests, could this matter be related to Zhang Yi? Last time Li Shizhen and the Central Bureau of Investigation wanted to take Yang Zaixing away, it was Zhang Yi who stood up at the critical moment, but afterwards Yang Zaixing repaid kindness with ingratitude and doubted him everywhere. It is impossible for Zhang Yi not to hold a grudge, and this time, Yang Zaixing took his place again. I'm afraid Zhang Yi is the one who is most hit. Thinking about it carefully, he does have this motive."

Dai Chunfeng glanced at him without commenting, and called Adjutant Jia in again, asking, "Did the people in the Inspectorate who were monitoring Zhang Yi find anything?"

Adjutant Jia shook his head: "The people in the inspection office have been keeping an eye on him. Zhang Yi has been at home the whole time and has not left the house."

Hearing him say this, several people looked unhappy. He Shangyou raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that your people made a mistake?"

Adjutant Jia looked unhappy and said bluntly, "The people sent by the Inspectorate are all capable people. They are watching 24 hours a day. What mistakes can there be?"

Dai Chunfeng waved his hand to interrupt the argument between the two and asked He Shangyou: "Did that person provide any clues?"

He Shangyou said: "He said that the Jiangnan Plan had been leaked, and he insisted that the information was leaked by Yang Zaixing."

After a pause, he sighed, "There is one thing that I cannot figure out. Assuming Yang Zaixing or the person who pretended to be him and wanted to frame him, since he knew about the so-called Jiangnan Plan, why didn't he report it directly to the Red Party, but kidnapped Meng Zhen multiple times in one fell swoop? Did he do it on purpose? Want to kill two birds with one stone? But a design that is too complicated will only reduce the probability of success. The more actions he takes, the more flaws he will expose."

After hearing this, several people seemed to be thinking about it.

Adjutant Jia speculated: "Maybe he just heard about this plan by chance and knows nothing about the specific content, so..."

He Shangyou shook his head and retorted: "The Central Bureau of Investigation has done a very good job of keeping secrets. Even my undercover agents cannot get access to the details of the Jiangnan Plan. That person doesn't have clairvoyance and super hearing, so how could he know?"

It's really unbelievable.

Dai Chunfeng had a gloomy face. After thinking for a while, he turned his gaze to his think tank Mao Qiwu.

"After the chief assigned the task, I went to ask the military police and the police station. Although no clues or traces of the murderer were found at the scene of Meng Zhen's death, some were found at the scene of the firefight. It rained that night, and the wheel marks were very clear. Preliminary judgment is that the murderer was driving a Dodge."

He Shangyou then asked, "You mean to use the car to find someone?"

Mao Qiwu nodded. "Yes, that's what I meant. The owner of the truck has been found. It was a stolen car and there is a police report, but I still had someone monitor him. As for the Dodge, since Meng Zhen's arm was injured, there must be blood in the car. As long as we follow the clues, we may get something. No one in this world can do things without leaving traces."

Dai Chunfeng was skeptical: "This person is not only cunning, but also very cautious. Do you think he would make such an obvious mistake?"

Mao Qiwu said seriously: "That's what you said, but what if? And I hope he cleaned up the traces. Let's start with our internal investigation. Whoever cleaned up the trunk of his car has a problem."

Dai Chunfeng glanced at him and immediately understood what he meant. He nodded and asked, "What is Zhang Yi doing now?"

Adjutant Jia understood what he meant, took out the key from his trouser pocket, opened the drawer, took out the monitoring equipment headphones and put them on, then picked up the confidential phone next to him and dialed a few numbers.

He adjusted the knob on the headset for a while, and the crackling noise gradually disappeared, and the voice of Zhang Yi and others talking came clearly.

General Affairs Office.

Shen Xishan walked into the car corps with his hands behind his back and questioned Captain Zhang: "I just received a call from Director Zhang, saying that you want to take back his car?"

Captain Zhang has been Dai Chunfeng's driver for 32 years. After the establishment of the Military Control Commission, he rose to a higher position and became an official. He has always regarded himself as a confidant of his boss and did not take ordinary people seriously. Hearing Shen Xishan say this, he curled his lips in disdain:
"What Director Zhang? He's Director Zhang now. The detention center has its own car, why do they have to occupy the bureau's car? Besides, this is Director Mao's idea, you can't blame me."

Shen Xishan looked at him for a few seconds and sighed, "You'd better take care of yourself."

He shook his head, put his hands behind his back and walked away.

Before leaving, he glanced at Captain Zhang coldly. Seeing that he still looked nonchalant, he couldn't help but sneer. The water in the bureau is so deep. Didn't you see that several directors were trying to avoid it? But you still approached him tightly and wanted to please Mao Qiwu? The fire in the city gate affected the fish in the pond. Be careful not to end up in pieces and die without a burial place.

"Director, this Zhang is too arrogant. If I take your car away from you, how will you travel in the future?"

In the detention center, the doors and windows of Zhang Yi's office were closed, and the record player in the corner faithfully recorded everything he heard.

Several people were completely unaware, and Monkey and Qian Xiaosan spoke indignantly.

"The world is fickle and it's human nature to kick someone when he's down." Zhang Yi did not directly answer their questions, but instead complained with emotion.

"People go to higher places, water flows to lower places, Director, are you willing to accept this?" Qian Xiaosan frowned, but was interrupted by Zhang Yi as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, "You mean I am going to a lower place by moving from the department to the detention center?

No, the level cannot be judged by the position or the division of labor, but should be measured by whether it meets one's own wishes and whether it can provide a platform for one to give full play to one's strengths. "

"So you mean that the detention center is the stage where I can show my abilities?" Even the monkey didn't agree with this statement.

"What's wrong with the detention center? Although Zhang is loyal to the party and the country, he made a mistake after all, so it is reasonable for the boss to punish him like this. Just accept it as fate and stop complaining. Come, take a look at this calligraphy of mine. It's a sacrifice, only by sacrifice can you gain."

These words were clearly transmitted to Dai Chunfeng's headphones through the bug in the record player. Hearing Zhang Yi so relaxed, he could not help but snorted coldly, pulled off the headphones, and slammed them on the table with a bang.

On the other side, as soon as Xu Zeng'en returned to the bureau headquarters, Team Leader Yang came up to him with a smile on his face: "Director, a major discovery!"

"What discovery?"

Team leader Yang called two men forward, solemnly unfolded a copybook, and said, "Commander, look, this was found in Yang Zaixing's home. Dan means red, and Danxin is a red heart. Yang Zaixing is showing that he has a sincere heart for the Red Party."
