The two discussed and continued to deliberate the details of the action, Xu Chengyan went out and rushed all the way to the Jushu Museum.

Ding Mingrui couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Xu Chengyan coming, and was about to ask, Xu Chengyan spoke first: "Lao Ding, I want to see the stationmaster, you apply." ”

In terms of the working procedures of the intelligence station, Xu Chengyan, as a grassroots intelligence officer, cannot have a contact channel with high-level cadres, if he wants to meet with Chu Guangji to report, he must report to Cao Ruian, the director of the intelligence department, through Ding Mingrui, and then Cao Ruian will tell Chu Guangji, and then Chu Guangji will take the initiative to contact Xu Chengyan, so as to complete a complete set of processes.

Although this practice is cumbersome, it also ensures the safety of the intelligence station's senior management and agencies to the greatest extent.

Since Chu Guangji reorganized the Taiyuan Intelligence Station, in view of the very bad latent environment in Taiyuan, in order not to repeat the mistakes of his predecessor, he has made great adjustments to the organizational structure of the Taiyuan Station.

In order to adapt to the new intelligence work, all departments of the Taiyuan Station strictly enforce the regulations on secrecy, the organs and the field departments are completely separated, and several senior cadres have their own division of labor, Mao Xingxiu, the confidential secretary, Cao Ruian, the director of the intelligence department, and Dai Yingjie, the head of the operation team, each manage their subordinate personnel and cannot have horizontal contact with each other, and the coordination work of various departments is managed by the station chief Chu Guangji in a unified manner.

This is the case for senior cadres, as for the ordinary grassroots intelligence officers and action team members, they know even less, they can only know the situation of their own team members, even if it is Ding Mingrui, they also know the situation of their intelligence team, and they don't know anything about other intelligence station personnel.

In this way, if there is a problem in one link of the intelligence station, then it is only necessary to cut off the communication channels above, and it will not affect the operation and security of other departments.

This, of course, also includes Xu Chengyan, even if he has a close relationship with Chu Guangji, but Chu Guangji does not have special care, so all Xu Chengyan's actions must be reported through Ding Mingrui.

Ding Mingrui asked, "On what grounds?" ”

As the leader of the intelligence team, he is still binding on Xu Chengyan, but Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun are too strong, which makes him the leader of the team lack a sense of existence.

Xu Chengyan explained: "In the past few days, I am performing a task, which is personally assigned by the stationmaster, the task is very important, requiring confidentiality, implementing the gag order, and now there has been progress, you have to report to the stationmaster in person, your normal application is, convey my request, the sooner the better, I want to report as soon as possible." ”

As soon as Ding Mingrui heard it, he knew that this time was the same as the last time, Xu Chengyan bypassed himself again and received the task from the stationmaster, and this time it was even more excessive, not even letting himself know any situation.

Thinking of this, Ding Mingrui couldn't help but feel a resentment again, since the last time he reported to the stationmaster and the director, these two subordinates were dissatisfied with the command and difficult to lead, but in exchange for a reprimand from the stationmaster Chu Guangji, between words, he was very dissatisfied with himself, and he touched his nose.

As a result, Xu Chengyan and the two were unscathed, but they were more valued by the stationmaster, and handed over the task with a higher level of secrecy to him, which shows that in the stationmaster's mind, his old subordinate is at a disadvantage.

However, Ding Mingrui quickly suppressed his displeasure, he has now smoothed out the edges and corners, he is only for safety, he has no competitive heart, since he can't suppress the other party, he simply let go of his hands and let them do it themselves.

"Okay, I'll go apply for it, and you go back and wait for contact."

Xu Chengyan nodded, picked out another book from the shelf, sandwiched it under his armpit, and left the library quickly.

The application feedback was very fast, and on the evening of the same day, Xu Chengyan met with Chu Guangji again, but this time in a new location, in a private room of a Western restaurant, Chu Guangji and Xu Chengyan sat opposite each other.

After not seeing him for a few days, Chu Guangji looked a little haggard, and there was a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows, and it could be seen that life was not easy.

"Teacher, your face is not good, you still have to pay more attention to your body." Xu Chengyan said with concern.

When Chu Guangji heard this, he sighed lightly and said, "I'm fine, I just haven't rested well, okay, don't talk about me, you asked to meet this time, is there a result of the investigation of Han Zhirong?" ”

Seeing that Chu Guangji was reluctant to talk more, Xu Chengyan naturally wouldn't ask more, there were many taboos in intelligence work, and he wouldn't have much to do.

So he introduced: "Through our investigation in the past few days, we can already confirm that Han Zhirong is the inner ghost, and the stationmaster is likely to have been killed by him!" ”

"Are you sure?" Chu Guangji straightened up, and asked in a solemn tone, finding out the cause of Ji Xinghuai's death and finding out the inner ghost is a task specially assigned by the headquarters, Chu Guangji has been thinking about this matter, but he didn't expect that in a few days, Xu Chengyan found out the reason and dug out Han Zhirong's true identity.

Then, Xu Chengyan made a detailed report to Chu Guangji on the investigation in the past few days, and of course, he hid what he found this afternoon.

Finally, he said: "According to these investigations, we determined that there must be something wrong with Han Zhirong, so last night, I ventured to contact Jiang San, a rickshaw driver in Han Zhirong's family, and learned from him that Han Zhirong had been secretly arrested by the Japanese, but he and his family were released that night, and this alone is enough to show that he has defected to the enemy."

As for the death of the stationmaster, it must also be inseparable from Han Zhirong, except for him, I really can't think of anyone else who will contact the stationmaster before the arrival of the Japanese. ”

After listening to the report, Chu Guangji nodded slowly, as Xu Chengyan said, just the fact that Han Zhirong was secretly arrested by the Japanese can already explain the problem.

He took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Sure enough, it's him, this guy must want to take credit from the stationmaster to the Japanese, but it's a pity that the stationmaster also went to warn him ......, this bastard!" ”

Chu Guangji slammed his fist on the table, sighing, it was not worth it for the sake of Xinghuai, such a high-level agent was planted in the hands of a traitor like this.

Xu Chengyan observed the words on the side, carefully considered it, and asked tentatively: "Teacher, what arrangements do you have for how to deal with Han Zhirong?" ”

Chu Guangji frowned when he heard this, the family rules of the military commander are strict, this is by no means a joke, since it has been determined that Han Zhirong is a traitor and the murderer of Ji Xinghuai, of course he must be eliminated, and even his family members have to sit together.

He immediately said: "Do you need to talk about this! Perform the purge immediately, how..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xu Chengyan and already saw what he meant, and then said, "You want this task?" ”

"I still can't hide it from you, teacher." Xu Chengyan smiled a little embarrassedly, and said sincerely, "I have this idea, Han Zhirong's investigation work was completed by us, I think it is up to us to eliminate this person, which can be regarded as a good start and a good end."

In addition, I know that the task force has just carried out a major operation, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pull out the action for a while, so we will simply solve it, and I will ask the teacher for approval. ”

After hearing this, Chu Guangji couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that Xu Chengyan had already guessed that last night's action was done by the action team.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Guangji nodded and said, "Since you already know, I have nothing to say, and it just so happens that you also have a number in your heart."

Last night's incident was indeed done by the task force, and this was a major operation against Masao Yoshioka that we had been preparing for these days, and for this purpose, the intelligence station invested all its operational forces, but ......"

Speaking of this, he shook his head, obviously in a low mood, although this operation had some gains, but the main target Yoshioka Masao was unscathed, but the team that had just arrived suffered heavy losses in the first mission, and the entire team was hooked up.

Xu Chengyan hurriedly asked, "How about our losses?" You won't let the Japanese get entangled, right? ”

"At the beginning, the operation was smooth, they blocked Yoshioka Masao's convoy, but Yoshioka Masao reacted quickly, and soon let him escape, the action team only killed a few officers of the special high division, they were too unlucky, and when they evacuated, they encountered the ghost patrol that rushed to them, after a fierce exchange of fire, ten team members died on the spot, and the rest were all wounded, and finally withdrew, as a result, the Japanese reacted too quickly, and we lost a few more team members in the search of the whole city last night, and now the action team has been disabled."

"So serious?"

Xu Chengyan couldn't help but be surprised, although he had guessed that the action team would definitely suffer some losses, but he didn't expect the losses to be so serious.

"It's really serious, it's finally a blessing in misfortune, the mountain eagle escaped, and now he has been sent outside the city to recuperate from his injuries, if he is arrested, the entire intelligence station will be in big trouble."

Speaking of this, Chu Guangji couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Dai Yingjie, codenamed Shanying, was his cronies, and if he also got in, it would be too dangerous, you must know that Dai Yingjie knew where the intelligence station was located.

"In other words, the team has lost its ability to act, so we can continue to carry out the next clearance mission?" Xu Chengyan then asked.

Chu Guangji nodded and said, "Yes, not only Han Zhirong, but even other targets on the list, you can also take over." ”

"Great, please rest assured, the teacher will take care of these things to us, and we will not disappoint you!" Xu Chengyan said excitedly that the opportunity for meritorious service had greatly increased this time, but he had fulfilled his wishes.

However, today's goal has not been achieved, Xu Chengyan continued: "By the way, teacher, can you tell me the instructions to wake up Han Zhirong?" ”

Regarding Xu Chengyan's request, Chu Guangji was a little puzzled, and asked strangely, "What do you want this for?" Isn't Han Zhirong already determined to be a traitor, what are your plans? ”

Han Zhirong, as a senior intelligence officer who was lurking in the early days, has his files preserved in the headquarters, and even if his upline Xinghuai dies, he doesn't have to worry about losing contact.

Before coming to Taiyuan, the headquarters had already told Chu Guangji the instructions to wake up Han Zhirong, and officially handed over Han Zhirong to Chu Guangji for use.

Xu Chengyan hurriedly explained: "After I contacted Jiang San yesterday, I was afraid that he would leak secrets to Han Zhirong, so I started to kill him, but this alarmed Han Zhirong, and when I monitored him today, I found that he was obviously suspicious, and he deliberately went to investigate the cause of Jiang San's death, it can be seen that this guy is very cautious, I think if I can't find a chance to start, I will simply lead him to the bait, which may require this instruction, in short, be prepared, lest I apply for a meeting again, and it will be too troublesome to go back and forth." ”

Chu Guangji didn't doubt Xu Chengyan's explanation, and happily agreed: "Okay, it's okay to hand it over to you, it's useless anyway." ”

However, in the end, he is also a scheming veteran agent, and he does things well, so he still reminded him: "It's just that since Han Zhirong has defected, then he will also take this opportunity to calculate you, don't be careless." ”

"Yes, I'll be cautious!" Xu Chengyan nodded in agreement.
