After dinner, Liu Zezhi came to Chen Jinsong's borrowed temporary office and said to Chen Jinsong and Secretary Wang, who were sitting opposite each other for dinner: "Is there still food?" Serve me a bowl. ”

Chen Jinsong replied: "The rice is enough, there is only this order left, and there is no bowl, so you can use this pot of rice, doesn't it mean that you are eating with Mr. Mao?" How can you still eat it? ”

Liu Zezhi poured the small vegetable soup into the basin and said, "I didn't eat enough." ”

Chen Jinsong smiled and said: "I heard Lao Wang say that he is leaving, and you will take over his work, that's good, Zezhi, you can figure it out, I'm very happy." Mr. Mao ordered you to be responsible for cracking the Japanese spy network, so let's talk about the next step. ”

Liu Zezhi finished half a pot of rice in two bites, and replied: "Jinsong, do you have any gains from interrogating Geng Zhenkuan again?" ”

"No, he insisted that everything he knew confessed, Gu Hua didn't actually appear in the case, I had some scruples, I didn't dare to say more, for fear that he would not cooperate after he found out that he had been deceived. Here's the interrogation transcript, take a look. And these, since you are responsible for Mao Xian's life, they will all be handed over to you. ”

Liu Zezhi calmed down and carefully reviewed all the interrogation records one by one, and Chen Jinsong and Secretary Wang had to accompany them and read them together. Two hours later, after taking two blank pieces of paper, Liu Zezhi made a big list of all the events that happened according to the time before and after the time of the incident, starting from Secretary Wang taking people to the church, and said: "You see, are there any mistakes?" ”

After reading it, the two changed a few places, and Secretary Wang said: "The idea is clear, but I still haven't found a breakthrough." ”

Liu Zezhi pointed to a list of searched items and asked, "This is all the suspicious items found in Geng Zhenkuan's residence?" ”

Chen Jinsong replied: "Yes, his public identity income is not high, and the place where he lives is very small, only six square meters. ”

Liu Zezhi picked up another list and said, "This is a list of Gu Hua's residences, and no radio stations have been found." ”

Secretary Wang interjected: "Yes, there must be a radio station, and it should be on Gu Hua's other assistant, that is, the civilian boat transporting vegetables at the back door of the vegetable market." ”

Liu Zezhi asked: "I remember that you said that this spy network activity is very rampant, can you give me a copy of all the files suspected of being Gu Hua's crime?" ”

Chen Jinsong said: "That's a lot, from March this year to now, there have been 20 or 30 cases in the past six months, there are shadows of Japanese spies. It's too troublesome to read, so I just go directly to the confidential room and call Team Leader Gong too. ”

Secretary Wang said apologetically: "You guys, it's half past ten, and Mr. Mao ordered him to go back to Yuyuan at eleven o'clock." I left Chongqing on the 16th the day after tomorrow, and I still have some things to do. Zezhi, when will you hand over to me? ”

Liu Zezhi said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I want to return that apartment and move to the house you live in Yuyuan." ”

"No problem, Mr. Mao's work is always around the clock, you have to move over."

Liu Zezhi habitually struck a match and lit the two pictures and texts he had just written, Chen Jinsong grabbed it and extinguished it, and it had already burned a corner: "What are you doing?" I'll have to rewrite it later. ”

Only then did Liu Zezhi react: "I'm used to it, and I'm distracted for a while." ”

All three laughed.

At four o'clock in the morning of the 15th, the spring rain in Chongqing was dripping, and in an office in the confidential room, Liu Zezhi rubbed his temples, looked up and said: "I haven't stayed up late for a long time, and I'm not used to it." Jinsong, have you finished reading it? ”

"I've seen this one three times, tell me what you think?"

"Gu Hua and I, Quan Kanhu, and Song Ningsheng came to Chongqing in March, and before that, Ono Heiichiro had already sent people to infiltrate Chongqing to rebuild the spy network. This person is a veteran of Japan's intelligence and governance circles, and his appearance is gentle and elegant, but in fact he is resourceful and decisive, ruthless, and acts in a very orderly manner, Ni Xin...... In some places he resembles him. When the spy network was established, among the members, I was talking about the main members, not the ruffians and hooligans who were bribed by Gu Hua to act as cannon fodder, and these people inevitably had to deal with each other. ”

Chen Jinsong nodded and said: "You're right, so Heiichiro Ono took the trouble to divide a task into two parts to do, and after the espionage network personnel were in place, they withdrew the agents who led the team and sent someone to start the espionage network." ”

"This is done for the sake of secrecy, and with such caution, we can infer that if the radio station is in the hands of another assistant of Gu Hua, then there is another important task that will not be in charge of this person at the same time."

"This important job you are referring to is ......"

"Liaison with the insider."

"Do you think Gu Hua's subordinates have an inside line?"

Liu Zezhi took out a few files that were put aside and said: "Look at these files, if there is no cooperation from the insider, do you think Gu Hua and the others have the ability to complete it?" ”

Chen Jinsong didn't dare to make a judgment easily, so he took it and carefully reviewed it again, and said after an hour: "Your judgment is right, is it possible that Gu Hua directly commanded the inside line?" ”

Team Leader Gong couldn't believe it, and quietly picked up the files that he had read several times.

Liu Zezhi said with certainty: "It is possible that Gu Hua knows the existence of the inside line and knows how to contact the inside line, but there must be one more person in the spy network who can do the same thing." ”

"Yes, there is a danger lurking behind enemy lines, and the fewer people who know the inside line, the better, but there must be a backup, which means that in addition to the contact person, there is also a person who knows the existence of the inside line. I was the same back then, and you, Zhou Chengbin knew about your existence, and you still had the contact point that Xu Jianxue was responsible for. You mean that Geng Zhenkuan is not only in charge of the three action groups, but also in charge of internal contact. ”

Liu Zezhi shook his head and said, "Wrong, Geng Zhenkuan is not in charge of the three action groups. The evidence is in front of you, but you have not been on the part of you. ”

"How is that possible? Geng Zhenkuan has already confessed some members, and we have also caught these people...... No, I'm mistaken, you're right! ”

Team Leader Gong was even more surprised, he was also an old man in the military command, although his military rank was only major, his qualifications were deeper than Liu Zezhi and Chen Jinsong, and he had always been conceited, who knew that the three people who reviewed the file at the same time today, two of them understood, and he was still confused when everyone had picked it out.

Liu Zezhi explained: "Team Leader Gong, if you look at these interrogation records, it didn't take much effort, the interrogated prisoner confessed and confessed his identity. Why, but the interrogation continues, but it can't go deeper? Of course, it won't be because they have hit hard bones, but these people know so much. The three action groups, Heiichiro Ono set out to form, and the action group led by Gu Hua, at least everyone should not be a soft bone, everyone is a ruffian hooligan who will become an abandoned son after using it once. ”

Chen Jinsong nodded and said: "It was my negligence, with the caution of Heiichiro Ono, Geng Zhenkuan will not be responsible for both the internal contact and the three action groups." It is possible that these people have an operation, Gu Hua thinks that it is easy to expose, or that the importance of the task does not require the use of professional agents, and orders Geng Zhenkuan to use a false identity to hire temporarily. ”

Team Leader Gong interjected: "I understand: Geng Zhenkuan's important things are not recruited!" Damn it! Why not immediately interrogate him again and pry his mouth open? ”

Chen Jinsong shook his head: "How to pry it open?" The reason why this person spoke before was because Liu Zezhi misled him Gu Hua was arrested and promised to cooperate, and he felt that it was pointless to persist any longer, so he spoke. Even so, he did not give up, and only gave up some of the least important information. Gu Hua has not shown up for a long time, and if you ask him about the inside information he has during the interrogation, he will immediately understand that Gu Hua fell into our hands as a scam, and I feel that he is now suspicious. ”

Team Leader Gong thought for a while and replied, "Yes, Mr. Liu's bureau is very ingenious, so what should we do now?" "I used to hear in private that Liu Zezhi was the ace spy of the military command, but Team Leader Gong didn't think so: What is there about that low-key young man under the age of 30 who barely shows up in the bureau headquarters? After a short time together, it changed his perception, and he couldn't help but ask Liu Zezhi for advice.

"Naturally, we want to continue to set up this bureau, it's raining outside, the autumn rain in Chongqing is a day, the rain stops and it's foggy, we can't see the sun, the road is even more wet and muddy, and God is helping us. I have an idea, you see if it's feasible......"

After listening to Liu Zezhi finish the plan, Team Leader Gong nodded again and again: "It's feasible, a gentleman can be bullied, this is wrong, what kind of gentleman is Gu Hua?" Mr. Liu, let me say one more thing: why did you leave your job to go to the UK for treatment? I don't think there is any big problem with your body, can you be treated in Chongqing if you are sick, the affiliated hospital of our military command is not large, and the medicine is the most complete in Chongqing. ”

Chen Jinsong interjected: "Do you still need to say this?" Several batches of large quantities of medicines were obtained by Zezhi with the assistance of Zhou Chengbin, except for those provided to the front line of the Changsha Battle and those approved by Boss Dai to be provided to several other front-line theater military hospitals, the rest are in the affiliated hospitals. Hey, who said Zezhi was going to the UK? Where did you hear the rumors? Zezhi will serve as Mr. Mao's confidential secretary from today onwards, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, you and I can't afford to offend. ”

"Jinsong, here you go again, what kind of son of heaven is close to the minister, the analogy is inappropriate!"

Team Leader Gong smiled: "It turned out to be a rumor, I said that, the military commander doesn't have this rule......"

There was a knock at the door, and Chen Jin Songqi said: "It's not even six o'clock, who knocks on the door?" ”

The confidential officer who had accompanied him to work all night opened the door, and a guard from the internal security team did not dare to enter the confidential room according to the rules, and reported at the door: "Director Chen, something is wrong, go and take a look." ”

"What's the matter? Why did you come to me? ”

"The wall has been painted with slogans again, and the content is similar to the last time, I suspect that it was still done by members of the Japanese spy network, and our team leader said that Mao Xian's life is responsible for the investigation, so ......"

What the? This is also too rampant! Chen Jinsong got up and said, "Zezhi, hand me the crutches, Team Leader Gong, let's go and have a look together." ”

In the continuous autumn rain, the three of them came to the outer wall of the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, only to see leaflets with different contents pasted every six or seven meters, as well as two slogans painted with red paint: President Wang's peaceful salvation of the country is the way out for China; China and Japan share the same culture and species, and work together to build a Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere.

Some of the members of the internal security team looked solemn and held various tools to clean, and some stood guard at both ends of the road to cut off traffic. Liu Zezhi said: "Suspend the cleanup, Team Leader Gong, find someone to take pictures, take a few more." You don't have to cut off traffic either. In addition, I would like to ask the person in charge of liaison with the newspapers and radio stations in Chongqing to come and see me. ”

Team Leader Gong said urgently: "Taking pictures is a must, and traffic must also be cut off." Everyone knows it again, where is the face of the military commander? Newspaper? Those reporters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic will not listen to us and shut up. ”

Chen Jinsong immediately understood what Liu Zezhi meant, and said: "This time I didn't plan to shut up the reporters, according to what Secretary Liu said, he is now the person in charge of cracking the spy network." ”
