Huang Boyang returned to his office in a huff, and as soon as he sat down, several subordinates knocked on the door and walked in. Section Chief Yuan of the Reconnaissance Section reported: "Director Huang, our net has been tightened, and now we can take action against Xu Liping and other spies. ”

Huang Boyang said to Section Chief Yuan: "Don't be in a hurry to act first, you can give me a detailed account of the situation collected in the past few days, and then everyone will discuss it together." ”

Section Chief Yuan opened his notebook and reported in detail: "According to our recent follow-up investigation of Xu Liping, we have found a major clue, in fact, Xu Liping is just a small fish, and her identity is equivalent to an intelligence liaison officer. Her upline is an old man who buys tickets in the theater garden, known as Da Lao Pei. Xu Liping's role is to transmit news between the radio station and Da Lao Pei, pass Taiwan's instructions to Da Lao Pei, and then transmit the intelligence collected by Da Lao Pei back to Taiwan. This old spy was hidden behind, and Xu Liping ran in front of him. Every week, Xu Liping has to watch a play, and she uses the opportunity to buy tickets to exchange information with the eldest boss Pei. ”

Huang Boyang asked: "Is this information reliable?" Are there sufficient factual basis for these situations? ”

Section Chief Yuan replied: "The intelligence is reliable. We observed that after Xu Liping received a secret telegram from Taiwan every Saturday, she would go to the theater to watch the play on Sunday night. Xu Liping has always used large-denomination tickets to buy tickets, and we analyze that Xu Liping may have sandwiched the secret telegram sent from Taiwan in the money for buying theater tickets, while Da Lao Pei sandwiched the information to be sent to Taiwan in the change for Xu Liping. Elder Pei's family lives outside the Xuanwu Gate, and we monitor his house 24 hours a day. We learned from Da Lao Pei's neighbors that Da Lao Pei was single and moved there when Beiping was about to be liberated. They also reported that the original quiet home of Da Lao Pei was a little strange recently, and people often visited his house at night, but they all came and walked quietly, and often there was movement in the house in the middle of the night but the lights were dark, giving people a mysterious feeling. ”

Huang Boyang took over and said, "You mean that the elder Pei has been gathering spies to plot something recently, right?" ”

"It's very possible! I think that Da Lao Pei may be the Kuomintang ace spy Lao K of Spades lurking in Beiping. ”

Huang Boyang patted his head thoughtfully, and he said as if he suddenly understood something: "A few days ago, Tingting told me that Xu Liping always asked what time the May Day celebration was held in Zhongshan Park, and which senior leaders participated in the event, and asked in detail. Do you think the Kuomintang spies are planning to carry out a major sabotage campaign on May Day and wait for an opportunity to assassinate senior party, government, and military leaders of the Peiping People's Government? ”

"You're right, I think Elder Pei has been gathering spies to plan and prepare for sabotage activities in the past few days. In addition, this week, the contact between the enemy and Taiwan has been changed from once a week to frequent contact, and I guess that there will be a big mess in the near future. ”

After listening to the report in detail, Huang Boyang frowned and thought about it, and gradually his brows stretched again, with a confident expression on his face. He said to several subordinates: "I don't think our reconnaissance work has yet been completely completed, and we can't rush into action." ”

"Because of what?" Someone asked puzzled.

Huang Boyang said: "Xu Liping's identity as a spy is already very clear, but to say that Da Lao Pei is a spy, we only draw conclusions based on analysis, and there is no factual basis, and no one can say whether he is the old K of spades, if we arrest him now, we will become very passive in future interrogations." My idea is that let's sell a flaw to the spies first and see what the result is? This proves whether our inference is correct. In short, after finding out the situation, we will close the net before May Day at the latest. As the saying goes: you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, especially if you do our business, you must have a steady and solid work style. Boys, don't you think? ”

"I see, admire! Admire! Director Huang is indeed a scheming old ground worker, and compared to you, we are just a milky child. Section Chief Yuan joked,

Huang Boyang also jokingly bought the old man: "In terms of age, you are just stinky children, I may be older than your father!" Then he said solemnly: "You are all newcomers who have just stepped up from the army to the public security front, and in the future, you must temper yourself in the work of fighting the enemy, learn from experienced veteran comrades with an open mind, and constantly improve your professional level." ”

After the meeting, Huang Boyang left Section Chief Yuan alone and chatted about the case for a while. On this day, Huang Boyang's work lasted until the early hours of the morning, and he still did not feel sleepy at this time, thinking of his conversation with Luo Zhendong during the day, there was always a trace of unhappiness in his heart that was difficult to release. Recently, he personally felt that some comrades have unhealthy work tendencies in their work, and some cadres tend to prefer the left to the right when dealing with problems, feeling that the left is revolution and the left is loyalty to the revolutionary cause, and even if the left goes too far, it is only a matter of understanding and work methods, and the more left the left, the more party spirit there will be. The so-called right-leaning is a question of class position, of attitude towards loyalty to the revolution. Thinking of this, Huang Boyang was a little depressed, he pushed open the window and took a few breaths, he decided to write a written material overnight, and directly reported Wang Yunqing's situation to the higher-level party organization in order to obtain a fair solution. It's almost the middle of the night, Huang Boyang is still reading at his desk, and only his office is still lit in the entire office area.

Outside, the moonless night sky was pitch black. At this time, a man in black peeked into the courtyard with half of his head out of the fence, and then climbed into the courtyard like a civet cat, and he approached the window of Huang Boyang's office under the cover of dense bushes. After the resourceful Huang Boyang took charge of the work of the anti-special affairs department, he arrested a large number of hidden Kuomintang spies and cracked many espionage cases against the confidential departments of the people's government. As soon as Huang Boyang's name was mentioned, the Kuomintang spies lurking in Beiping hated him to death and were afraid to death, and they all wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. The Taiwan authorities have instructed the Peiping spy organization to get rid of Huang Boyang in order to strike a blow at the Communist Party and boost their morale.

After observing that there was no movement around him, the black shadow hiding in the bushes sneaked to Huang Boyang's window on tiptoe a few steps, and he squatted under the window edge to look around, and then took out a pistol with a silencer on his body and prepared to assassinate him. At this moment, Huang Boyang stood up, left the desk, walked to a bookcase, and put the materials he had written, and when the killer stood up to aim at the target, Huang Boyang was no longer sitting in front of the window. The killer didn't have a good shooting angle, so he had to hide by the window with a gun and wait for Huang Boyang to return to the window.

Two patrolling soldiers walked from not far away, and a bright flashlight shone in the courtyard. Seeing this, the killer hurriedly hid back in the bushes. The flashlight shone back and forth on the bushes a few times, and the killer held his breath and lay on the ground motionless. He heard Huang Boyang closing the window and greeting the patrolling soldiers. When he looked up after the patrolling soldiers walked by, the lights in Huang Boyang's office had been turned off, and he couldn't see anything, so the killer had to retreat the same way.
