The Intelligence Service has been greatly strengthened by the addition of two sections. Zuo Feng was also very happy at first, thinking that in this way, his position in Shanghai would be more stable, but after a long time, he found disadvantages that were not conducive to him.

In the past, if there was any problem in the intelligence department, it had to be approved by Zuo Feng, but now it is different, many things can be handled at the level of the section chief and deputy director, which invisibly weakens the power of the director.

In front of the newly nailed office with the sign of 'Intelligence Division 1 Section', Li Xianjie was directing people to move his personal belongings from the General Affairs Office.

"Deputy Director Li, are you busy?" Ding Kevin walked over and said hello.

The two of them usually like to drink a few glasses, they are out-and-out drinking friends, and among many colleagues, the relationship is relatively harmonious.

Li Xianjie: "Section Chief Ding, please come to the house." ”

Ding Kaiwen: "I don't dare to be the section chief, I'm just temporarily acting as a substitute." ”

Li Xianjie: "You just don't have enough military rank, so you will be asked to act as a substitute, and in the future, you will accumulate a certain amount of qualifications, and the stationmaster will give you a mention, and then you can be officially appointed as the head of the second section." ”

Kevin Ding: "Won't it? Maybe after some time, the headquarters will be able to send a section chief. ”

Li Xianjie closed the door with his hand back and said, "Okay, don't tell lies in front of real people, your heart is actually transparent, but you don't want to admit it." ”

Ding Kaiwen smiled, looked at the new desks, chairs and room layout in the office, and exclaimed: "Although Deputy Director Li's office doesn't look big, these items are the best in the station. ”

Li Xianjie: "Good eyesight!" This is the advantage of being the director of general affairs, and the people below don't need me to say anything, they can send whatever is good. ”

Ding Kaiwen: "This shows that Deputy Director Li is very popular, and he can eat anywhere." ”

Li Xianjie looked at no one around, and said in a low voice: "Do you know how to mix a good popularity?" ”

Ding Kaiwen smiled: "I am willing to listen to advice." ”

Li Xianjie: "Don't be too strict with your subordinates, if you get by, you can mix a good popularity!" ”

Ding Kaiwen: "Deputy Director Li is joking, and I have the right to listen to it as a joke." ”

Li Xianjie took out a cigarette and threw one to Ding Kaiwen: "The second department has just been established, and there are a lot of things, aren't you looking for me to chat?" ”

Ding Kaiwen: "There is one thing that has bothered me for several days, and I still can't figure it out, if it weren't for the fact that everyone has been busy these days, I would have wanted to ask you for advice." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Some time ago, at the Central Station, the murderer of the 'young master' was obviously trapped in the alley by me, how did he escape?"

"Section Chief Ding, I may not speak very well, don't mind."

"Of course. Let's talk about it, there's nothing to mind. ”

Li Xianjie: "First of all, let's admit that the Americans are indeed very advanced in military affairs. But it's not that everything they have is above us. For example, your miraculous labyrinth grasping technique, the military commander also has similar training, and ordinary agents have a chance to escape under the circumstances. ”

"I'm not trained as a military commander, so I'm curious what your response is?"

"It's very simple, normal people will instinctively choose a quiet exit to break through when they hear the chaotic footsteps around them, but in this way, they are falling into the trap of the tracker. In fact, the most likely way to escape is the exit of the alley behind him, because few people will choose to turn back! ”

Ding Kaiwen nodded: "That's right, I also thought about it afterwards, and it is that way back that we trackers themselves are most likely to ignore." ”

Li Xianjie: "So, if you use this method to catch ordinary people, the probability of success is indeed very high." But it's hard to catch a trained agent in an alley with so many exits! ”

Kevin Ding: "I was too careless about this. But there's another thing that I really can't figure out. For this reason, I went to the scene again yesterday and carefully investigated, but I still couldn't find the reason. ”

Li Xianjie was also interested, and said teasingly: "What can make it difficult for American agents to be like this?" ”

Ding Kaiwen's eyes wandered, and he seemed to re-enter the scene at that time: "At that time, I searched all over the alley, and there was no trace of the murderer. Knowing that there was a good chance that he had escaped, he followed the footprints he had left in the snow, thinking to himself how he had found out where he had escaped. ”

Li Xianjie groaned: "Go on." ”

Ding Kaiwen: "Deputy Director Li, you must not guess what happened next!" I followed his footprints a hundred meters away, and then there were no footprints of him! It's as if this person has disappeared from the ground! ”

Li Xianjie: "Have you searched the surrounding houses?" ”

Ding Kaiwen: "It's been searched. In fact, there is no need to search at all, the footprints in the snow are very clear, unless he is a fairy, otherwise it is impossible for him to fly into the courtyard next to him without leaving a trace. ”

Li Xianjie pondered for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled: "I seem to understand what is going on!" This thing looks amazing, but it's actually a trick. ”

Ding Kaiwen: "Tricks? ”

Li Xianjie: "When you were doing the maze arrest technique, he had actually stepped on his own footprints, exiting the alley exit step by step, retreating to the messy crime scene, and then leaving calmly!" ”

Ding Kaiwen was speechless for a long time in surprise, and then said after a long time: "...... You say he came back? ”

Li Xianjie: "Otherwise, would he have wings and fly?" ”

Ding Kaiwen slowly straightened out his thoughts: "The purpose of what he did was naturally to confuse me. There are always traces on the road on snowy days, and he worries that I will follow it all the way! ”

Li Xianjie: "That's right! ”

Ding Kaiwen stretched out his thumb and praised him sincerely: "Deputy Director Li is thoughtful, which is really admirable." ”

Li Xianjie laughed and said: "It's not that you're thoughtful, you can't guess, it's just because you didn't live in the north since you were a child." ”

Ding Kaiwen was very strange: "Why do you say that? ”

Li Xianjie explained: "It often snows in the winter in the north, and over time, children have almost always played a game, which is to find a thick piece of snow, step by step, and then follow their own footprints to retreat. It doesn't make any sense, it's just a children's game. ”

Ding Kaiwen smiled bitterly: "If Deputy Director Li was here, the mystery would have been solved at that time." ”

Li Xianjie shook his head and said, "With the situation at that time, I couldn't guess the answer to the riddle for a while. It is estimated that it is possible to figure out the whole thing after searching the surrounding households, and then it will be too late. ”

Kevin Ding: "It's not too late to understand now, at least one thing is certain!" ”

Li Xianjie: "What? ”

Ding Kaiwen said slowly: "The murderer is a northerner!" ”

…………

In the next 10 days, the Internal Investigation Department monitored the office phones of all departments at the Shanghai Railway Station and investigated individual suspicious people. However, the survey subjects were all below the level of section chief, and did not involve the senior management of the station.

"Ring, ring, ring!" The phone rings on the desk.

Gao Fei picked up the phone: "Hey? ”

"It's me." On the other end of the phone was Xiao Ningning's voice.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"I want to see you."

“…… It's been a lot of work in the station lately. ”

"I don't care."

"Then it's five o'clock, and I'll go look for you."

"Okay."

The conversation between the two is simple and direct, as casual and natural as a couple who have been married for several years. Gao Fei took the phone that emitted a blind tone, was stunned for a long time, sighed in his heart, and put the phone down.
