Chapter 6: Epiphany

Although the Intelligence Department is a privileged department, and the internal discipline of the Intelligence Department also has a rule that information must not be leaked, there are disputes and private discussions where there are people, and the Chongqing Station will naturally not be excluded. Zhang Hanchun had not been away from Zhang Jianghe's office for a long time, and some well-informed people in the Chongqing station already knew what Zhang Jianghe had summoned Zhang Hanchun about, especially after most of the middle-level officers in the Chongqing station received a call from the stationmaster Xu Zifeng, and the news that the new deputy stationmaster was going to set up a separate action team had already been privately spread.

"Fifth Brother Guan, what do you mean by our deputy stationmaster?" Huang Xin, who belongs to the Intelligence Section, is lazily nesting on the sofa and complaining at the moment, and sitting opposite him is Cui Guanwu, a medical officer from Chongqing Station. Huang Xin and Cui Guanwu are both distracted people, rarely participate in the disputes in Chongqing Station, and both of them have a hobby of drinking tea and playing chess, and they have become friends who have nothing to say.

Huang Xin only has the rank of second lieutenant, and he is not valued by his superiors in the intelligence department, so he did not receive a call from the station commander Xu Zifeng, and the news that Zhang Jianghe was going to form an action team was still heard from the action department. Cui Guanwu was holding a cup of tea, and he was speechless at his friend's lifeless appearance, "I don't know what the new deputy stationmaster is going to do, but I know what our stationmaster who doesn't do anything is going to do." Cui Guanwu's voice was not loud, but his tone and attitude were very resolute.

There were only two of them in the room, so Cui Guanwu, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, had a lot less consideration when he spoke. "Our new deputy stationmaster is not an ordinary person, these days I have always heard the people in the station say that he is a one-armed hero, and also said that such a disabled person should give up his position to those who are capable. If you want me to say, you can't listen to those words, our deputy stationmaster Zhang is a famous person in the Nanjing headquarters, if he hadn't lost an arm, he might have been the head of the operations section of the Nanjing headquarters. ”

The head of the operations section of the headquarters seems to be inferior to the deputy station chief of the substation in terms of rank, but Huang Xin and Cui Guanwu both know in their hearts that these two positions are not comparable at all. "I listen to what you mean, our deputy stationmaster is not a good person?" Huang Xin, who was too lazy to use his brain, still lay on his back on the sofa with his body crooked, but turned his head to look at Cui Guanwu, if the new deputy stationmaster and the stationmaster had a conflict, Huang Xin really didn't know which side he should help to speak.

"I don't know if the new deputy stationmaster is a good match, but I know that Xu Zifeng is a character who can't tolerate being deceived." Cui Guanwu is still indifferent, as a medical officer, he already has the convenience of staying out of the matter, no matter how the new deputy stationmaster and the stationmaster fight, it will not involve him. "Looking at Xu Zifeng's appearance, he is ready to fight with the deputy stationmaster, but if the formation of a new action team is an order from the Nanjing headquarters, I think Xu Zifeng must suffer in the end."

The arm can't be beaten by the thigh, many people know this truth, but there are still some people who can't see through this truth, just like Xu Zifeng and his gang at this moment. Xu Zifeng was originally only the chief of the general affairs section of Chongqing Station, relying on his relatives in the city government, he can be said to be above everyone under one person in Chongqing Station. Later, the stationmaster died of illness, and the Nanjing headquarters did not pay much attention to the Chongqing station, so he naturally sat in the position of the stationmaster.

But Xu Zifeng has not been proud for a few months, and the Nanjing headquarters sent a deputy stationmaster, although the Nanjing headquarters noted in the order that the new deputy stationmaster is only in charge of the work and operations against Japanese spies in Chongqing, but Xu Zifeng is still very uncomfortable in his heart, he always thinks that Zhang Jianghe is here to replace him. Fortunately, Tang Cheng didn't know what Xu Zifeng was thinking at the moment, if Tang Cheng knew about Xu Zifeng's worries, he would definitely say that Xu Zifeng was a persecution maniac at all.

Whether Xu Zifeng was a persecution maniac or not, Tang Cheng didn't know, he just knew at the moment that the woman he was following all the way was definitely not an ordinary person. Within an hour of calling Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng, who was hidden in the shadows, saw many people entering and leaving the woman's residence, including many people with strong skills and government personnel in Mao suits. If this woman were in Shanghai, she would be called a courtesan, but this is Chongqing, and there is no soil for courtesans.

"Oops!" Tang Cheng thought about it again and again, but finally couldn't hold back, and after waiting for a tunic to come out of the woman's residence, he deliberately bumped into it with a bag of cooked food. The two collided on the side of the street, and naturally there would be physical contact, and before the other party was not aware at all, Tang Cheng had already activated the contact judgment skill and immediately knew the identity of the other party. Knowing that the other party was a secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Government, Tang Cheng secretly remembered the other party's name, such a guy with a government background should be the first choice of Japanese spies to rebel.

In the following time, Tang Cheng tried the people who came out of the woman's residence many times, street robes, soldiers, businessmen, and government people, these people who were tested by Tang Cheng undoubtedly made Tang Cheng more curious about that woman. It's just that with the passage of time and energy, Tang Cheng began to miss the days when his subordinates had enough manpower to call, and it was too much to rely on himself to determine the clues.

However, in the boring squatting time, Tang Cheng was not idle, he had used some of the blank paper he bought from the small shop on the street, and Tang Cheng had drawn all the faces in and out of the woman's residence. The sky finally darkened, and Tang Cheng, who had been squatting in the attic for an afternoon, finally left the attic full of debris, but Tang Cheng did not return to his residence, but took advantage of the cover of night to climb the wall and climb the roof of the woman's residence.

The architectural style of the houses here in Chongqing is completely different from that in Nanjing, but the roofs in Chongqing are also tiled, and the Tangcheng civet cat, who has activated the light body skill, moves on the roof like a civet cat, and it takes a while to find out that the woman's location can be confirmed. Tang Cheng hadn't come back after dark, and Zhang Jianghe, who had already returned to the courtyard, was not in a hurry, and Heizi, who had received the call in advance, had already brought food to Zhang Jianghe from the restaurant.

"Uncle Zhang, my eldest brother said you don't have to worry, I estimate that after a while, he may come back." The sunspot who came to deliver the meal did not leave immediately, but sat with Zhang Jianghe. Zhang Jianghe is not familiar with these children adopted by the Tang family, but in the previous arrest operations in Nanjing, the sunspot appeared many times and performed well, seeing that it has only been a year, the sunspot has become more and more stable, and Zhang Jianghe's heart is also very happy.

Heizi stayed with Zhang Jianghe for almost an hour before Tang Cheng returned, and when he saw the portraits that Tang Cheng brought back, Heizi's eyes lit up, and he was very familiar with Tang Cheng's style of acting. "Hey, you guys had a good night's meal!" The hungry Tang Cheng couldn't help but smile when he saw the food that Zhang Jiang and the two had set aside for him, handed the portraits to Heizi casually, and couldn't wait to deal with the food on the table.

"I found a very interesting target today, that is, the woman Zhang Hanchun met, these are the people who went in and out of the woman's residence in the afternoon." Seeing that Zhang Jianghe was also looking at the portrait in Heizi's hand, Tang Cheng, whose mouth was full of food, explained vaguely. "At first, I thought that this woman was just a courtesan, and Zhang Hanchun was just coveting her beauty, but when I followed her later, I found that this woman actually knew how to counter reconnaissance, which is a bit interesting."

Tang Cheng lit one of the portraits with the chopsticks in his hand, "This person is wearing a Mao suit, he should be a person in the government, Uncle Zhang, this depends on you, I want to know the identity of this person, as well as his specific position in the government department." Judging from the experience we gained in dealing with Japanese spies in Nanjing, people in the government like this are the favorite targets of Japanese spies to win over and plot rebellion. Tang Cheng's words made Zhang Jianghe nod subconsciously, when he was in Nanjing, he didn't catch scum traitors in government departments.

"And this and this, when I saw them walking, they obviously smelled of the military, and I guessed that these two people should be soldiers, or have had a military career." Tang Cheng, who had already eaten a bowl of rice, was no longer as hungry as he was just now, so he found two more of those portraits and listed them as important targets that needed to be checked immediately. Zhang Jianghe did not immediately express his position this time, after all, this is a matter involving the military, and there is absolutely no room for sloppiness.

"Uncle, if you want to say that you think things are too complicated!" Seeing that Zhang Jianghe's face was different, Tang Cheng couldn't help but ask, and after he figured out what Zhang Jianghe was worried about, he became happy. "Let's not mention that the Intelligence Department has the authority to meddle in military and police affairs, let's just say that the two people we want to investigate, even if they are soldiers, even if they are Liu Xiang's subordinates, what can they do? Did I say I'm going to arrest them? ”

Seeing that Zhang Jianghe didn't seem to understand what he meant, Tang Cheng lowered his voice and said to Zhang Jianghe, "Uncle, don't you really know why the director agreed to transfer you to Chongqing?" Do you really think that the director remembers the old love or is it the appointment that we helped him do things in exchange? Based on your experience, do you think this is possible? If you think about the faces of those people in Chongqing Station, haven't you had an epiphany now? ”

Tang Cheng's words were like a heavy drum slamming into Zhang Jianghe's heart, what kind of temperament that director was, Zhang Jianghe was very familiar with. Thinking carefully about Tang Cheng's words just now, Zhang Jianghe's face instantly turned pale, "You mean, transferring us to Chongqing is that one's move?" Does he want us to be the catfish that stirs up the pond so that the water is completely muddy? But what good does it do to the Intelligence Service if he does this? ”
