Chapter 33: The Nightmare (4)
"It's more than innocent to die!"
Zhong Ming rubbed his shoulder, moved his sore neck, raised his head and said something to himself.
It's already dark outside, the director doesn't know when to leave, she is left alone in the whole office, according to the regulations, she can only read all the files here, can't record and can't take pictures, once there is a leak, the director will be jointly and severally liable as a guarantor.
The materials that had been brought in were packed in several metal boxes and piled all around her, and the sheer number of people involved in this case from twenty years ago, and the length of its duration, were reflected in the piles of materials that were piled up longer than she was sitting on. Without time to look at them one by one, Zhong Ming could only narrow down the scope and set the heavy diǎn on the main culprit and his wife.
Although the fact happened 20 years ago, the reason can be traced back to the mid-80s, when China's greatest external threat came from its powerful neighbors to the north, two countries in the socialist camp accused each other of revisionism, fought from the propaganda department to the military department, the long northern border, millions of troops staring at each other with a tiger's eye, and almost all the intelligence services at that time were speculating about the time of the beginning of the Third World War.
At that time, Huaxia was in the early stage of reform and opening up, and the country was in the process of transforming towards economic construction. On the contrary, with the gradual improvement of Sino-US relations in the 70s, especially after the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between the two sides, out of consideration of the Cold War mentality, the United States saw this as an opportunity to draw China into its camp, so from the early 80s, the two sides launched a series of cooperation, which was the honeymoon period in the history of China and the United States.
It is in such a backdrop ~ that many scientific research institutions in the imperial capital, especially those related to military science and technology, have a presence from across the ocean. The National Defense 618 Project was established at this time, the main purpose is to solve the gap in the research of high-end military materials, Su Hongmei, as a material expert trained by Huaxia herself, led one of the heavy diǎn real yàn rooms, that is, the work of the 311 real yàn room mentioned in the archives, and made heavy progress two years later, what is this progress? It is not mentioned in the archives, but Zhong Ming is very clear, because her current work is to revolve around ¢∷dǐng¢∷diǎn¢∷小¢∷, .↓.↓os_(); This one is expanded.
In the early 90s, due to a previous turmoil, Sino-American relations quickly turned sour, and all cooperation ended abruptly in a way that both sides were caught off guard. And this qiē did not affect Su Hongmei's status, at this moment she has been exceptionally promoted to become a senior researcher of the institute, this year just turned thirty years old, in the same year she was introduced to the later main culprit of the case and soon married, and gave birth to a daughter in the second year, which is now Su Wei, at that time her name was Yu Xiaowei.
Yu Dongsheng, born in a red family, after transferring from the army, has been engaged in intelligence work, to the eighties when the country officially established the security department, he became a veteran of the Ministry of Construction, successively served as the minister's secretary, assistant, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, director of the North American Intelligence Department, before he defected, the materials recommended for him to serve as the deputy minister had been sent to the desk of the superior, but no one expected that this seemingly promising senior official of the security department would leave a qiē and throw himself into the other side of the ocean, Su Wei was only three years old that year.
As a veteran of the start-up of the security sector, the information he has is deadly, and the damage to the country caused by his defection is incalculable. In that month alone, the loss of personnel on the North American intelligence network was as high as eighty percent, most of whom even lived in the same courtyard with him, and because of the special nature of intelligence work, there were many real couples in it, and their sacrifice led to the birth of a large number of orphans, and even some of them could become parents in a few months, all of whom were buried by his betrayal.
If it is just like this, then this person can be described as "extremely evil", and the reason why he added four more words to the end of the test is because of another heavy loss, what is this loss? Zhong Ming didn't see a single word about it, but from the fact that she inadvertently heard the director and the instructor talking, she learned that this matter was related to an arrangement of the prime minister during his lifetime.
In China, the premier is not only the name of a position, but more often than not, without the prefix of 'State Council'. It is a special term for the leader of the party and the state, the founder of the intelligence work of Red China, and the respected pioneer, especially in the military department.
Can't use a pen, and there is no paper to use, Zhong Ming had to sketch out the relationship before the characters in her mind, as the wife of the main culprit, Su Hongmei was immediately isolated and examined, and the weight of the review was whether she participated in this defection, followed by whether the secrets she had were leaked to her husband, how big the scope of the leak was, and there were many review materials, of which as many as more than 80 pages were her self-reports, and the things on each page were exactly the same, Zhong Ming knew that this was an interrogation method, In order to find out the psychological flaws of the interrogator.
The reason for the last stop was not that Su Hongmei confessed what had happened, but that she jumped from a small window in the toilet, and since there were armed people downstairs, her behavior was definitely not to escape. Zhong Ming sighed, she didn't think this woman was pitiful, but because after being rescued by the medical staff who rushed over, she found out that Su Hongmei was pregnant, and the child could only lie on the hospital bed from now on, can this be regarded as retribution? Why is it not the initiator who is punished?
Zhong Ming's love only deviated for a while before returning to the topic, there was only one reason why she had been studying for so long, did Su Hongmei provide the results of her research to the defector? You must know that the discovery of this achievement has attracted the attention of the world until today, 20 years later, and for this reason, the General Staff Department has even set up a special department, which is the bureau to which she belongs.
No clue! After four or five hours of searching, sorting, inducting, and speculating, she could only come to the conclusion that only when she was sure that Su Hongmei was not involved in the case could she deduce that her existence would not threaten the safety of her target, because she knew the inside story well, although she probably didn't even know what a big secret she held.
If it was an ordinary person, Zhong Ming would not have bothered to work hard at all, and according to her authority, she could make her own decisions to make this potential threat disappear immediately. But since taking the initiative to contact Su Wei, especially seeing the relationship between the target and her, Zhong Ming hopes to find something beneficial to them, so as not to end up with more difficult consequences.
"Knock knock." The knock on the door made her look up suddenly, and her right hand subconsciously pressed against the holster, but it was empty, and it was handed over to the guards outside before entering the room.
"Please come in." Zhong Ming didn't get up to open the door, because she knew that the door was locked from the outside, and if she wanted to go out, she had to take the initiative to knock on the door.
"I knew you had been busy, so I didn't come to disturb you, but when the chief left, he ordered that you must be urged to eat, this is an order, so please cooperate." In was a male officer dressed in the same uniform as her, tall and handsome, speaking in a strict tone with a smile on his face.
Zhong Ming stood up indifferently, the sofa was full of materials, and the male officer pushed the dining cart directly to the director's desk, which had obviously been processed, and the materials, books, and telephones that had been placed were cleaned up, just enough to be used as a dining table.
"Zhong Ming."
Being stared at and eating on the side, ordinary people will definitely not be able to stand it, but Zhong Ming swallowed without feeling, as if she was in a hurry in the army, the movements were mechanical and repetitive, and she eliminated the plate closest to her one by one, and then turned to another one diǎn a little farther away, as for what was inside, maybe she didn't care, the male officer looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but call out her name.
"Huh?" The sudden call didn't even make her choke, she just turned her head to look at him curiously.
"Do you have time this weekend, I want to invite you to the club's activities."
"Well, it should be okay, I was fine that day."
Zhong Ming thought about her schedule, and diǎndiǎn agreed that this so-called club was actually a simulated field battle, which was one of her few interests in normal times, and the two of them had often participated in it before, and she didn't think there was anything. However, when she accidentally saw the male officer's happy look, her face sank a little, and the movements of her hands slowed down.
"This is also your chief's order?" The male officer didn't expect her to ask this, and he was a little puzzled for a while.
"Of course not, I just want to be with you"
"Chen Rui, don't waste time on me, as a friend's advice, for your good." Zhong Ming interrupted him unceremoniously, and the male officer's eyes suddenly darkened a lot.
Although when the two were together before, Zhong Ming had never expressed that tendency, but he didn't expect to refuse so directly today, he thought that as long as he had more contact, he would have a chance, but this dream was ruthlessly shattered.
"I know you used to have a boyfriend, but he wasn't"
"Chen Rui, if you say one more word, please go out immediately." Zhong Ming stood up suddenly, pointed to the door and said.
The male officer lowered his head, he knew that he didn't choose what to say, who in the department didn't know where this aunt's scales were, why did he say it? Now there was still half a point of hope, but it is gone.
Next, neither of the two of them spoke again, Zhong Ming silently finished all the meals, she still had work to do, it required a lot of body and energy, this speed had nothing to do with appetite, it was completely instinctive. The male officer silently packed up his things, pushed the dining cart out, glanced at the stubborn back, and closed the office door with his backhand.
"How's it going, is there a catch?"
When the door of the office was opened again, it was already the next morning, and the director who pushed the door in saw Zhong Ming bending over to pack up the materials, and when he heard the voice, he raised his head, and saw a pair of bloodshot eyes, he couldn't help but shake his head, this girl must have not slept all night.
"Good chief, there are still some problems, but the gains are great." Zhong Ming put down the materials in his hand and saluted him.
"I can't answer those questions for you, maybe you have to find out the answers yourself, this is not only a shame for the security department, but also a heavy loss for the entire Huaxia intelligence department. Every time the No. 1 leader mentioned it, he was heartbroken, saying that we had failed the foundation laid by the prime minister and were a crime against the party and the people! That's a big deal, little bell. ”
"I will certainly live up to the chief's expectations."
Zhong Ming could feel a deep regret hidden in the minister's eyes, he didn't want to let this shame continue to become a taboo topic that no one dared to talk about inside and outside the department during his tenure, but how difficult things were can be imagined, after all, it was a big country that regarded Huaxia as the number one enemy.
Putting the scattered materials back into place one by one, Zhong Ming's work was completed, and she didn't need to do the rest of the work, and when the director waved her hand to let her go back to rest, she suddenly found the girl's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, and it seemed that some words were difficult to say.
"Say anything else." Thinking that it was some trouble, the director looked at her.
"Can you stop letting people care about my private affairs in the future?" Zhong Ming opened his mouth a little embarrassed, and the director was happy when he heard it.
"What, Chen Rui was rejected by you? This young man is good, a talent, and he is good for you."
"Chief." Zhong Ming had to interrupt him, lest he speak further and further.
"Okay, if you can't look at it, you can't look at it, next time I'll find a better one."
The director rarely saw embarrassment on her face, and joked with a smile, Zhong Ming rolled her eyes helplessly, this old boy seems to be taking this matter as fun, and he has to think of a way, otherwise he will not be annoyed to death in the future.
"Director, can you let me choose for myself?"
"Tell me, who do you have a crush on?"
"You."
"Who?"
The director showed a confused look, and Zhong Ming looked at him with a stern expression, diǎn diǎn head.
"You see that your aunt has been gone for so many years, and there is no one to take care of by your side, what do you think of me?"
"Nonsense! My daughter is about to give birth to a grandson, don't make this kind of joke, spread the word that your old clock will not split me alive. The director walked quickly to the door, glanced out, and saw that no one was nearby, so he quickly closed the door, and patted his chest nervously.
Of course he knew what Zhong Ming meant, but rumors are rumors, once it is a trouble, he really regards her as a daughter in his heart, and he can't bear to let her waste her youth for a hopeless result, but when it comes to this, his hard work seems to be in vain, what a stubborn woman.
"Uncle, you have been alone since your aunt left, isn't it because you can't tolerate others in your heart? I'm the same, there's a lot going on, I'm not as sad as you think, don't worry. ”
Zhong Ming put away the joke, stepped forward to hold his arm, and said sincerely, the director looked at her with a kind of indifference that saw through the world, and couldn't help sighing, and pressed her head a few times like when she was a child.
