At this time, Li Shiqun didn't want to see anyone, and was about to refuse, but Liu Zezhi had already walked in from the outhouse: "Director, you look tired, pay attention to your body." ”

Like this, the secretary came in without permission after the report, and it was not the first time that Liu Zezhi had come in. Li Shiqun frowned, too lazy to teach a lesson. "Is there anything wrong with you?"

Liu Zezhi said a few small business, but they were all things that were not urgent, and they were obviously just excuses for the audience. Li Shiqun was even more displeased: "Nothing else?" You can do these things, you don't need to report to me, go down. ”

Liu Zezhi hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to speak: "Director, there is one more thing...... It's Ni Xin, oh, Secretary Ni, I'm ...... Your subordinates think you're too ...... How can Ni Xin be an undercover agent? Even if you enforce the law impartially, you can't cut off your arms...... Right? ”

"What do you want to say? Say that I don't distinguish between right and wrong, and are ruthless? Is it? ”

Liu Zezhi was startled, as if he saw that Li Shiqun's face was ugly, and he muttered: "The director is angry, and his subordinates dare not ......."

Li Shiqun sneered: "How can you guarantee that Ni Xin is not an undercover agent?" He's not, who's that undercover agent? ”

Liu Zezhi smiled embarrassedly: "Who is the undercover agent, how can the subordinates know, but Ni Xin ......"

"If you don't know, just shut up! All day long, nothing to do, gangs and factions, what use do I want from you? Get out! ”

Liu Zezhi was taken aback, but he still defended: "The director blames him." But Ni Xin ...... He was ordered to take care of Zhou Chengbin, and even I kept it a secret, he is your confidential secretary, how can you be a person close to you...... You can't ......."

"What can't be? You're done! ”

“……”

"Say!"

Liu Zezhi stole a glance at Li Shiqun's face, and mustered up the courage to reply: "You can't kill in vain just because you want to explain to Shangfeng...... The other subordinates didn't know and didn't dare to talk more...... But Ni Xinhe...... Besides, how can you be sure that the news was leaked by the five of them? The doctors and nurses in the hospital, and the entourage of General Ono, are also possible. Last time William Smith disappeared, Ni Xin was not involved in the whole process, so we can't say that we have several undercover agents on No. 76...... I went to the hospital to find Ni Xin and Shan Mu and asked them to write a report on the murder scene, but Ni Xin didn't see me, which shows that he was very careful......"

Li Shiqun was furious: "What? You go to the hospital?! Military hospitals? Looking for Ni Xin? Why haven't I heard from you? Who let you go? Say!"

"I ...... Myself, you asked me to be in charge of the homicide investigation, Secretary Miura said that I can't investigate, don't investigate, I don't think it's appropriate, I want to investigate it again......" Liu Zezhi was a little panicked and explained: "Director, the subordinates didn't find Ni Xin and Yamaki Ryuzo, they only saw Captain Tian." ”

Li Shiqun asked, "What else did you do when you saw Captain Tian?" ”

"I didn't do anything, and Captain Tian didn't tell me where Ni Xin and the two of them were, so they chatted for a few days."

"What did you talk about?"

“…… Seeing a person lying on the hospital bed, his subordinates thought it was Zhou Chengbin and chatted a few words about Zhou Chengbin......"

"You also met Zhou Chengbin? Okay, okay, come on! Miura Renhe walked into the office with two bodyguards: "Seize Liu Zezhi and send him to the confinement room!" ”

Liu Zezhi was taken aback: "Director, I'm ...... Subordinate...... The director is angry, and his subordinates should be damned! ”

"Take it away!"

After receiving the appointment code left in the dead mailbox by Liu Zezhi's correspondent Ji Qun, Guo Xuan was very strange and wanted to see him, why would it be Liu Zezhi's younger brother Liu Wu, not Liu Zezhi himself? He didn't suspect Liu Wu's identity, Ji Qun was Xu Jianxue's assistant, and she came forward to send this appointment letter, which in itself proved that Liu Wu was reliable. Could it be that something happened to Liu Zezhi?

Guo Xuan burned the appointment letter and came to the agreed place as promised. This is a taxi shop that also deals in car maintenance, and a jeep owned by Liu Wudang is being repaired here. Liu Wu, who was dressed in overalls in the customer lounge, saw Guo Xuan, who came here to inquire about the car rental market, looked carefully, and made sure that this person was wearing a goshawk ring inlaid with sapphires on his left hand, and said in a low voice: "I am Liu Zezhi's younger brother Liu Wu, and the fourth brother asked me to come to you and give this to you." Liu Wu handed over three newspapers with Japanese written in the blank space on his head: "There is a handwritten letter from the fourth brother in the newspaper." The fourth brother said that you should destroy these things immediately after reading them. ”

Guo Xuan rolled up the newspaper, Liu Zezhi's letter was not long, written on a blank piece of paper, after Guo Xuan read it, he got up and went to the bathroom of the car dealership, and when he came out, he passed by Liu Wu's side and whispered: "Pay attention to Li Minghua's whereabouts, as long as he gets out of the confinement room, send a letter to Ji Qun as soon as possible, the content is: The poisonous snake comes out of the hole." Put on your top hat and walk straight away.

Back in the rented three-story attic, Guo Xuan was preoccupied. On that letter, Liu Zezhi told him three things, the first of which were found in the mezzanine of Li Minghua's desk, and according to the handwriting, it can be seen that the Japanese and English in the text were written by two different people. The person handed over to him was a man named Zhang Keqing, who was the successor who succeeded Li Minghua, and it is not yet known whether he was an enemy or a friend, and it may also be a trap, so he was asked to act at the opportunity. In the second week, Chengbin was rescued, Li Shiqun was annoyed and angry, and he was determined to find out the undercover agent in No. 76, and in the process of cooperating with the rescue, he left a suspicious point, so he could only cut the meat and feed the tiger, threw himself into the net, and took the initiative to anger Li Shiqun, and was interrogated in confinement as a suspect. The soldiers made dangerous moves, and they were in the middle of it, creating an "undercover agent" - Li Minghua handed it over to Li Shiqun. Please don't worry about yourself. Li Shiqun made threatening words: If the undercover suspects cannot be found within 72 hours, they will all be killed, but in fact, this is an unlikely thing. On the contrary, if you can't create an undercover agent and be reported suspicious by other suspects, at that time, the situation will be very dangerous. Third, the work of creating "undercover agents" requires his cooperation and asks him to act at the right time......

For Liu Zezhi, Guo Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy, this young man who was more than ten years younger than himself, bold and careful, repeatedly made strange moves, was alone in the demon cave on No. 76, wrestled with the devil, shot several times, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, Zhou Chengbin's eyesight is not bad, and the evaluation of "is a very good agent" is not an exaggeration. What made him even more sorry was that he and Liu Zezhi met in Chongqing and broke up unhappily; When they reunited in Shanghai, he treated each other indifferently. Unexpectedly, Liu Zezhi still trusted him unreservedly and entrusted him with his life. This open-mindedness really makes him feel and admire. With the deep worry that followed, he knew very well what would be waiting for Liu Zezhi if he made a slight mistake. The only thing he can do now is to wait, wait for Liu Zezhi's signal to cooperate with the action, and fully cooperate.

Retracting his thoughts, Guo Xuan wrote three short Japanese essays sent by Liu Wu from memory, and pondered them carefully. These are three very simple paragraphs of Japanese mixed with English text, a bit of the nature of a memo, in addition to the frequency of the telegram, the cipher number used in the cipher, the promotion and other information, the two headers have "NAN, S", in English written a sentence: This person knows M's reaction, should be the person around him. The other one is marked with "NAN, F", and the name of "Ni Xin" appears in this one, and there is a sentence without a beginning or an end "Ni knows this person?" The text used is also in English. Guo Xuan was confused, and he couldn't figure it out, so he had to put it on hold for the time being.

Confinement Room 76 is located on one side of the basement corridor, separated by a wall from the torture chambers and prison for prisoners on the other side of the corridor, with two identical iron fence gates, and the entrance is equally guarded. The difference is that the torture chambers and prisons add up to nearly twenty, while the confinement rooms have only four, two of which are adjoining suites and the other two are single rooms. The equipment inside is also very different, there are beds, tables and chairs in the confinement rooms, and each room also has a Western-style bathroom.

At first, Li Minghua and Zhao Jingdong were detained in two single rooms, but after Ni Xin and the other three came, I don't know what Li Shiqun's considerations were, and the five of them were detained in the suite together. At this time, none of the five people spoke, and they were all writing down their whereabouts. Seeing that Liu Zezhi was also escorted in, they were all taken aback, but no one spoke, only looked up. The bodyguard in charge of the escort did not speak, turned around and walked out. Ni Xin couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come in too?" Or were you ordered to interrogate us? ”

"I interrogate you? I don't know who interrogated me yet! Without you, I wouldn't have been able to do this kind of bad luck! ”

The two bodyguards soon returned with a pile of daily necessities, spread the futon on the only empty bed by the outer door, and placed the toiletries on the bedside table. Ni Xin walked to the door and asked with his eyes.

Li Shiqun's bodyguards are all dispatched by Ni Xin on weekdays, and one of the bodyguards lowered his voice and said: "Section Chief Liu interceded for you, annoyed the director, and locked him in in a fit of anger." Secretary Ni, take care, we have to go. ”、

Ni Xin didn't expect Liu Zezhi to intercede for him, and because of this, Li Shiqun was also imprisoned. He wanted to say something, but there were four other people in the room, so he had to pat Liu Zezhi on the shoulder. Liu Zezhi frowned and said: "Don't touch me, bother, what a big trouble you have made, the director wants to kill you, I just said a word, and I was also frustrated." Alas, if I knew this, I would have a lot of mouths. ”

Although Liu Zezhi said this, Ni Xin still had a very strange feeling in his heart, doing what they do, being indifferent and ruthless, and never being emotional is the instinctive way of survival, isn't it?
