Chapter XXVII: The Flower of the Empire
"Well, I have news for you too."
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
The two of them spoke almost in unison, and after looking at each other, they burst out laughing.
"Okay, I'll start with that." Luo Hongyu said: "Ji'an headquarters called, Section Chief Li asked me to tell you, according to the news from the comrades of the Snow Country Anti-War Alliance, two Snow Country spies known as the 'Flower of Empire' have secretly infiltrated our country recently, and their purpose is unknown, but there are various indications that one of them may have infiltrated Beiping. ”
"Flower of Empire?" Zhang Yunrui groaned: "Do you know what their surnames are? ”
"Their names are Snow Sakura and Snow Man, and I heard that they are twin sisters. These two are well-known in the Snow Country military circles, and they are good at fighting, assassinating, and spying on intelligence, so it is not difficult to know their names. ”
"What do they have to do with the Snow Emperor?" Zhang Yunrui thought for a while and said: "Because the surname 'Xue' is only the direct line of the royal family in the Snow Country who is qualified to take 'Xue' as the surname, I estimate that they should have a lot of connections with the Royal Family of the Snow Country." ”
Luo Hongyu shook his head and said, "This is not clear." ”
Zhang Yunrui said coldly: "No matter what the purpose of their coming to Xia Kingdom is, since they are here, they don't need to go back." ”
Luo Hongyu agreed: "Those who offend my Xia Kingdom will be punished even if they are far away, not to mention that everyone has taken the initiative to send them to the door." ”
"Tell me about your specific situation in Nantang."
"Hmm. The content of the Nantang Supreme Military Conference was leaked by a conference stenographer named Jiang Yiming, who had been rebelled by the Snow Country, first leaking the information to the Snow Country, and later selling the information to an intelligence dealer named Huang Laoqi because of greed for money. And Huang Laoqi resold the information to the underground personnel of the Nantang Spark Alliance through some channel. Now, the Snow Country spy mountain lurking in Nantang has been ambushed, and Huang Laoqi cannot escape death. My trip to Nantang, the basic situation is this. ”
"Jiang Yiming naturally deserves to die if he collaborates with the enemy to judge the country, but fortunately he is greedy, otherwise the Ji'an headquarters does not have the information in Tang Laoqi's hand, Ji'an is in danger, and the Spark Alliance is in danger!" Zhang Yunrui sighed.
"Now that the crisis in Ji'an has been completely resolved, I am completely relieved."
"Comrade Yunrui, in fact, Huang Laoqi is not dead?" Luo Hongyu said with a smile.
"Not dead?" Zhang Yunrui's face changed drastically, and he wondered if he had missed Mengyu.
"Yes, not dead. The underground personnel of the Nantang Spark Alliance were originally bent on killing him, but considering his special situation and the fact that he sold intelligence to us indirectly, they did not kill him, but found him and sent him and his family out of Nantang together. ”
Zhang Yunrui nodded, and said in his heart that it was like this.
"Also," Luo Hongyu smiled slightly, and said, "Even if there is no information from Huang Laoqi, the Ji'an headquarters will be fine." ”
Seeing Zhang Yunrui looking at him with a puzzled expression, he continued: "Because, before Ji'an received the information of the underground personnel in Nantang, the headquarters had already deciphered the enemy's message. ”
"Headquarters has deciphered the message?" Zhang Yunrui frowned tightly, faintly feeling that something was wrong.
He took out a cigarette and put it on the table, took out one but didn't light it for a long time, Luo Hongyu saw that he was thinking, so he didn't interrupt him, but took out one and lit it himself.
Hearing the sound of him striking a match, Zhang Yunrui came back to his senses, leaned over and lit the cigarette.
He took a deep breath and looked solemn: "I know what the problem is. ”
"What's the problem?" Luo Hongyu asked.
"Time!"
"When?"
"Yes, the number is not matched at the time node. You think that the information in the hands of the underground personnel of the Nantang Spark Alliance was bought from Huang Laoqi, this is certain, are you right?
Luo Hongyu nodded in agreement.
According to my investigation in Nantang, the twelve officers who participated in the high-level military meeting were fine, which ruled out the suspicion that they leaked secrets, which also shows that the only source of this information is from Jiang Yiming. According to Jiang Yiming's confession, he only leaked the information to the Snow Country and sold it to Tang Laoqi, do you know what this means? ″
"It cannot be ruled out that some of these twelve officers have telegraphed each other to discuss the deployment of military operations and the possibility that they have been intercepted by our side?" Luo Hongyu defended that he had already understood the meaning of Zhang Yunrui's words, but it was the Ji'an headquarters, how could he easily suspect his comrades?
"Huh." Zhang Yunrui smiled coldly and said, "This is absolutely impossible!" At a military meeting, Xia Batian had clearly explained the specific tasks and arrangements of each ministry, and the encirclement and suppression plan for Ji'an did not start until two days later, so there was no need for them to discuss it at all; Second, the radio stations of all ministries are under the monitoring of the secret department with the help of Xia Batian. In this case, where did the intercepted message come from? Did it come from heaven? ”
"This ......" Luo Hongyu was dumbfounded. He wanted to open it, but found that he could not find a reason to refute it.
Because of Zhang Yunrui's analysis, every sentence is reasonable, and the argument is irrefutable.
After pondering for a long time, Luo Hongyu basically agreed with Zhang Yunrui's judgment. At least he was right, and the source of the message deciphered by Headquarters was indeed suspicious.
But that is the Ji'an headquarters, if there are really spies in there, it will definitely endanger the safety of the headquarters leaders, which is really terrible! Thinking of this, he felt like his back jacket was soaking wet.
"And what do you think the identity of this spy is?" Luo Hongyu asked, in fact, he already had some kind of guess in his heart.
"Snowpiercer!" Zhang Yunrui said with certainty: "But I can't figure out what their purpose is in doing this. ”
"Yes, the Snowpiercers would be so kind?" Luo Hongyu was also puzzled in his heart.
There is an idiom called "self-defeating", and I believe that Oda Ichiro will be so angry that he will vomit blood after knowing this result.
It's still the same sentence: a mouse is a bridesmaid for a cat, and everything has an accident. Oda Ichiro has been thinking twice, and the Spark Alliance One, with his superhuman intelligence, has made him a big joke with just a few words.
"Without further ado, immediately use the highest-level express message to inform Section Chief Li of the basis of our suspicions and judgments, and he will make his own decision." Zhang Yunrui said decisively.
"Okay, I'll send you a report right away."
……
Ji'an, a few minutes later.
After receiving the message, Liu Yu, a telecommunications receiver, hurriedly walked to Li Shengnan's office.
"Section Chief, here's a highest-level special grade message that you need to decipher personally."
"Oh?" Li Shengnan was surprised and asked, "Where did you send it from?" ”
Liu Yu put the message on his desk and said, "Beiping."
"Okay, I see, you go down first."
Li Shengnan translated word by word, his face covered with frost. After the translation, he read it carefully again, and almost ran towards Zou Gong's office.
"Zou Gong, take a look at this telegram first, it was sent by Zhang Yunrui and Luo Hongyu from Beiping."
His face sank, and he didn't even shout a report. As the head of the special agent section of the Ji'an headquarters, he didn't know that there were spies in the Snow Country around him, and his mood could be imagined how bad it was. Although it has not been fully confirmed, according to the analysis and judgment basis provided by Zhang Yunrui, there is a chance that it cannot be wrong.
"What's going on?" Seeing that his expression was different, Zou Gong took the message suspiciously. He knew that his right-hand man would not change his face even if the mountain collapsed, and he had never seen such an expression on his face.
Zou Gong looked at it, and his face gradually changed. When he had finished reading, he struck a match and burned the message to ashes, pondering without speaking, bending his right hand and tapping lightly on the table with his raised knuckles.
After a long time, Zou asked openly, "What do you think?" ”
"Zhang Yunrui's analysis is impeccable," Li Shengnan said in a deep voice: "Bai Xiu is indeed a major suspect, do you think we will control her first and interrogate her?" ”
"Not for the time being," Zou Gongyun smiled lightly and said, "Keep her first, it will be of great use in the future." Since Oda Ichiro sent us such a big gift package, wouldn't it be good to use it well? Come and don't be rude, in the future, I will repay him as a big favor. ”
"So what are we going to do with her now, after all, she will know a lot of important secrets in the telecommunications office?"
"Promote her to the head of the second telecommunications department, responsible for the daily review of messages, so that she does not have to receive and receive telegrams in person, as long as it is not related to the core of the alliance, she can show her the confidential documents that are not involved in the core of the alliance."
"Well, just promote her on the grounds of her 'meritorious service' this time, not only will it not arouse her suspicion, but on the contrary, she will be complacent about gaining trust. But Zou Gong, how did Comrade Li Tao, the director of the Second Division, arrange? ”
"Transfer her to my office, I still lack a secretary here, don't you see that I have to do it myself if I want to drink boiling water?" Zou Gong said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll immediately go and present Comrade Bai Xiu with a 'certificate of honor' and announce the appointment of the headquarters." Li Shengnan said with a knowing smile.
