Chapter 43 Protection
Why do something like meaningless tracking? Lao Feng couldn't give the two young people an answer, maybe the higher-ups needed to use them to attract the attention of their targets out of more political considerations, or maybe it was just a semi-public warning. After all, the development of cross-strait relations to this day has turned into a farce of shaving one's head and picking one's head, and the government's voice has also changed from blindly showing favor to being lukewarm, and there is quite a bit of a taste of 'how high you can jump', not to mention that there is also the shadow of a certain country on the other side of the ocean.
Of course, this is not the scope that Lao Feng needs to consider, the matter is handed over to them, and there must always be a result in the end, the target involves a number of military intelligence leakage cases, if real evidence can really be obtained, for the entire security department, it can be regarded as a heavy meritorious service, after all, the disaster more than 20 years ago is still very slim.
It's almost time to get off work, Lao Feng's desk is spread out with a handful of old-fashioned writing paper, which is the kind with the name of the unit on the head, as early as the beginning of the new century, the paperless office that began to be implemented is not much for an old-fashioned person like Lao Feng, which is why he has been working for so long and is still only a director.
The cheap glass ashtray was stuffed with cigarette butts, his face flickering in the smoke that could not be dispersed, his expression was solemn and his brow was furrowed, until a cigarette was about to burn out, he mechanically put it in his mouth to absorb it, and then wrote down the paragraph he had just come up with on paper, and the title on the paper was impressively written "Some Questions about the Case of the Second Man".
In the materials of the task force that year, Su Hongmei's code name was the No. 2 person, and the No. 1 person was naturally the main culprit, her husband Yu Dongsheng at the time, this title also has distinctive characteristics of the times, and the current character pronouns are usually expressed in English letters such as 'a, b, ', etc., which is full of foreign style, and second, it is also in line with international standards.
"After verification, there is no direct connection between Person 2 and the target, they only had an unexpected chance encounter in a public place (see the attached supplementary materials for the description of the occasion and process), there is no clear evidence as to whether the target knows the actual identity of Person 2, and there is no clear evidence as to whether the target has other intentions for Person 2.
At this point, Lao Feng put down his pen with a bit of a headache, and he said from (3) (6) dǐng (3) (6) diǎn (3) (6) small (3) (6) , .↘.o+s_ (); He has never written such a difficult written material, not only because it involves people he does not want to implicate, but also because there is too little prima facie evidence and insufficient convincing, will the superiors accept it? He is not sure, if he can't accept it, it means that Su Hongmei will re-enter the detective line of sight until the whole case is over, in his opinion, this is not only a waste of police force, but also a family that has finally escaped the shadow of the past will fall back into trouble, especially for the two children.
However, in the materials, he still wrote down the qiē he mastered truthfully, without any exaggeration or concealment, not only out of the professionalism of an old policeman, but also an absolute loyalty to the organization, even if he believed in her innocence in his heart, he would not bring subjective factors to his work.
Copying the things on the draft again, Lao Feng put these pages together with the reconnaissance materials handed in by the two young people as a supplement and put them in the Wen Jiàn bag, he didn't plan to fake others, anyway, it was already time to get off work, so it was better to go on a trip in person.
"Come in, well, Lao Feng, if you don't come, I'm going to look for you, how was that incident done last time?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the director's office, the other party was more anxious than him, and he heard the director's urging before he closed the door, but it made sense for the leader to ask, and it was strange that the leader would give him a good face after more than a week.
"That's what I'm here for, I've written the materials, you can take a look first."
Lao Feng handed over the bag of Wen Jiàn under his armpit, there was no seal on it, and the director took out the contents and sat back in the chair, and began to look without saying a word. He could only greet himself, but instead of touching the good cigarette on the table, he poured himself a glass of water, without adding anything to the water, and he smoked too much before, and the dumb man was very uncomfortable.
"Old Feng." After a while, the director raised his head and opened his mouth hesitantly, as soon as he saw such an expression, Lao Feng knew that something was wrong, and he stood up first, wanting to take the initiative.
"Is there something wrong with the writing, you say, I'll revise it right away."
"Things have changed, and I just received a notification." The director shook his head, which made Lao Feng's heart sink, he has been sorting out materials in the office for the past two days, and he didn't go to the hospital, what happened?
The director opened the drawer and took out a copy of the paper, the same as the writing paper he handed over, the kind with a head on it, but although he didn't see those words clearly, the bright red five-pointed star and the word "Bayi" in it, still did not escape his eyes, could it be that which military department transferred it?
"The General Staff Department issued a request for our department's assistance, don't bother the two masters, I won't look for others, you have a lot of business recently, you see how to coordinate."
I know that this is the case, Lao Feng is a little helpless, many times it is said to be assistance, but in fact it is an order, there is no credit for doing a good job, and if something goes wrong, you have to take responsibility, who calls people a national defense force. It has been more than 30 years since reform and opening up, and it has been 30 years since army building made way for economic construction.
After receiving the text handed by the director, Lao Feng read it at a glance and ten lines, there was not much content on it, it was nothing more than "Due to the needs of a certain national defense project, please send capable forces from your department to carry out the matter, do not let the target person out of control, salute, the Second Department and the Ninth Bureau of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, etc.", what surprised Lao Feng was not the content itself, but this payment.
"Nine innings? When did such a game come out, how did I never hear about it. He looked so confused that he almost thought it was a fake.
"I can only tell you that this was established under the direct instruction of the head of the Central Military Commission, and we are very fortunate that this is the first coordination letter issued by their bureau since its establishment, and you Lao Feng are even more fortunate to be the first person to cooperate with them. But I want to warn you, don't use your connections less, and don't ask a word about this bureau, otherwise I won't be able to protect you. The director glared at him fiercely.
Lao Feng smiled a little stupidly, he didn't need the director to remind him that he knew the measure, curiosity is curiosity, some areas are not allowed to cross the line, even if he finds someone, it is useless, he focused on specific matters, and immediately had a new judgment, this matter is related to the materials he brought.
"Do you remember when you were just discharged from the army, you were transferred to a secret diǎn to perform a security job? You, I, and that person met at that time. In the face of Lao Feng's inquiring eyes, the director unexpectedly did not answer directly, but turned into memories.
How could he not remember? At that time, he was just a stunned veteran, because he participated in the last foreign war of the Republic, he was considered to have rich experience in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, and was fortunate to be transferred to the newly established security department of the Ministry of Public ~ Security.
What makes him even more memorable is that in that secret place, he only knows that he has to be on duty on time every day, and all his spare time is used to study business, and the few people who came with him are all smarter than him, and the person mentioned in the director's mouth is at that time I don't know what the relationship is with Tongguò, and I know the number two person in the case file, that is, Su Hongmei, the protagonist in his materials today.
"Hmm." Lao Feng picked up the cigarette case on the table, gave himself one, and replied angrily.
"At that time, we only knew that a scientific practice was going on there, and there were foreign devils in and out, and it was there that I first saw Hongmei, but unfortunately I was too shy, and I was caught by that bastard, so I didn't mention it." The director waved his hand.
"What I can tell you now is that the real yàn is part of the National Defense 618 Project, Hongmei undertook the main scientific research task at that time and made great achievements, and you know the rest of the matter, this time the situation is related to this project, and the higher-level leadership department wants to find out, did she disclose the information she has to that person? If it can't be confirmed, it can only be secretly monitored, and if it is confirmed, it has already happened, and it needs to be prosecuted. The director finished the last few words with some difficulty, and the office fell silent.
"I don't care what this project does, but I can guarantee that she didn't leak secrets, she personally admitted to me, and according to her, she also wrote written materials at that time, more than one copy, why do you still refuse to let her go?"
Lao Feng is indeed a little anxious, in his opinion, the research of more than 20 years ago, no matter what it is, has become obsolete in the 21st century, for an outdated so-called confidential project, and then force an innocent woman to recall those past events that she does not want to remember, what is the difference between letting her die?
"Last time we talked, you took her to the cemetery?" Once again, the Director diverted the subject.
"Well, at first, I didn't know where to talk, so I subconsciously took her there, but I didn't know what was going on, Xiaowei also secretly followed, and the mother and daughter collapsed when they saw that. Director, to put it mildly, if she has the intention to leak secrets, it has happened countless times in the years since she left our sight, what can we use now to prove that we can arrest people directly? ”
"Don't be rash, I believe like you that she won't do that, but we are a security department, we have to talk about evidence, and it is safer to hand her over to you to deal with than others, but if you have always had this attitude, I can only let you avoid it."
Lao Feng closed his mouth, he knew that the director was for his good, and he also understood that what he said just now had obvious tendencies, and the director had every reason to take him down, so that things would be out of his control, this is what Lao Feng never wanted to see, whether it was collapse or suicide, it should not be Su Hongmei's final ending.
"I can guarantee her innocence with thirty years of party spirit"
"Don't forget, that person is longer than you and me in the party, and has a higher position than you and me, what is the result? Aren't these lessons profound enough, your party spirit cannot even be guaranteed by yourself, so don't say such things again in the future. ”
The director interrupted him with some annoyance, Lao Feng is like this, everything is good, but there is no one on the mouth, and the complaint can only be sent in private, can it be put on the table? Of course, this has nothing to do with leaks, because what he said is not business.
After so many years of colleagues, the director understands his feelings, but if he guarantees that it is useful, and what do he want them to do, things have changed, and he can only follow the implementation and give him the task, and he also believes that he can distinguish between public and private, so as to protect the parties to the greatest extent.
Lao Feng also figured it out, in fact, there is only one core of the task, putting the parties in their sight, this is not a kind of protection, how to operate the director did not say, of course, it is completely handed over to him, this is a heavy responsibility, he knows it very well in his heart.
