Cicada Moving

Chapter 1212 Top Secret = Server-wide Announcement

 “Lao Li, get off the car.”

A black car was speeding along the busiest street in the mountain city. The driver turned around and shouted to Pan Mingzhi, who was lying in the back seat. He slammed on the brakes and the car stopped with a squeak.

Almost at the same time, Pan Mingzhi and another comrade pushed open the car door and ran to the sidewalks on both sides without looking back, moving quickly in the opposite direction.

The Fruit Party car at the rear stopped immediately. The four agents got out of the car and divided into two groups to start watching. The two sides chased each other in the crowded crowd, but they did not fight directly.

Pan Mingzhi quickly glanced behind him, and a nearby map automatically appeared in his mind. This was the escape route he carefully selected for himself.

 A qualified intelligence officer must learn to establish an emergency evacuation route and master various information on the evacuation route.

You must be familiar with where the flow of people is the largest, which store has a back door, the internal structure of a building, and even the placement of furniture in the store.

However, the most important thing now is to get rid of the agents first, otherwise it will be difficult to retreat once the enemy's support arrives, Pan Mingzhi thought as he walked.

As I was walking, there was a noise in front of me. It turned out that a patrolman failed to extort a vendor and overturned his stall to the ground, which attracted many people to watch.

Looking at the arrogant patrolman, Pan Mingzhi had an idea. He pretended to be wary and looked behind him. The two following agents quickly retracted their heads and hid in the corner.

 “Have you been discovered?” a young spy asked nervously.

Another agent shook his head and said in an uncertain tone: "Probably not. There are so many people on the road, how do they know where we are."

The little agent who asked the question felt that this statement was reasonable. He stuck out his head and continued to watch, but found that the target stopped at the crowd of onlookers and squeezed in.

  “There is a situation.”

The little agent whispered to his companions, staring closely at Pan Mingzhi, and soon noticed a suspicious sign.

In the dim light, Pan Mingzhi was seen sticking behind the patrol officer, opening his mouth slightly and moving, and then made a motion to take out something under the cover of the crowd, and then left without looking back.

Is this a joint?

That patrolman has a problem?

 The two agents frowned and looked at the target moving further and further away. The two quickly divided their tasks. One continued to follow, while the other stayed to keep an eye on the patrolman.

Taking advantage of the evil police, Pan Mingzhi skillfully got rid of a spy, but it is not the time to relax yet, because enemy reinforcements are likely to have arrived.

In order to test whether the agent had reinforcements, he walked a certain distance and then used a sudden turn to confirm that the person following him was still the original agent, and then he felt relieved.

If the enemy has reinforcements, it is impossible for the same person to follow him so far. After thinking about it, Pan Mingzhi walked into a restaurant without stopping.

This meeting coincides with the dinner rush hour, and the restaurant is packed with diners waiting to be seated, waiters carrying dishes and serving food, and children selling cigarettes. The lobby is tightly packed.

Pan Mingzhi nimbly moved through the crowd, taking off his hat and gown as he walked, revealing the dress underneath, completely changing his attire.

When passing by a table of guests, he put his hat and gown on the back of the other person's chair and walked calmly towards the side door of the hotel. Outside the door was a row of shops with people coming and going. One of the paper flower shops had a back door. , leading to a busy three-way intersection.

Pan Mingzhi has known all these things for a long time. He will be safe when he reaches the intersection. Only careful people can live longer in this business.

Seeing the target entering the hotel, the spy who was following him followed him to the front door and stood up on tiptoes to look inside. However, he only saw densely packed heads of people. He immediately scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, and finally gritted his teeth and followed in.

When he walked around the hotel and came out of the side door, there was no sign of the target. The little agent threw his clothes and hat to the ground angrily and let out a roar.

 One minute ago.

Across the road, in the second-floor lounge of another hotel, Zuo Zhong took a piece of fish to He Yijun with a gentle smile on his face.

Since the war started, the two of them haven't been out together for a long time. When he was not busy recently, he took the other person for a walk around the city.

 There is a saying that goes well, work is not the whole of life, rest is for better work.

Besides, Li Qiwu sent tens of thousands of dollars a few days ago. If he doesn't spend some more, the safe in the official residence will no longer be able to hold it. Oh, it's really annoying.

If Li Qiwu hadn't even sold his house in order to prepare for this "intention", and he couldn't live up to such a generous offer, he really didn't want to accept the money.

 What does money mean? His happiest days were when he was a trainee at the Zhejiang Provincial Police College. Alas? Why is my neck itchy?

Zuo Zhong scratched his collar and was about to tell He Yijun about the scenery in Annan when he caught a glimpse of a man walking downstairs with his head lowered and covering his mouth while coughing. His profile looked familiar.

Isn't this Joanna's husband Pan Mingzhi? Why did he appear here? Zuo Zhong was shocked.

The last time the Supreme National Defense Meeting records were leaked, he checked Joanna's files, and naturally also saw her husband's files and photos.

 Pan Mingzhi, a native of Zhejiang Province, was born in the second year of the Republic of China. He is a clerk by profession. Like Joanna, he is also an underground worker fighting at the heart of the enemy.

Looking at Pan Mingzhi’s demeanor and movements when walking, it seems that he is avoiding someone. Could it be that he is being targeted by the enemy?

Zuo Zhong's eyes narrowed. Joanna's position was very critical. Even he couldn't get some information, but the other party could easily obtain it. This was the special nature of the position.

Joanna must not get into trouble and must protect Pan Mingzhi from the enemy. Zuo Zhong quickly made a decision. He put down his chopsticks calmly and thought about how to help Pan Mingzhi. First of all, it was definitely not possible to do it openly. He had to do it secretly. The prerequisite for helping others was his own safety.

While thinking about it, Zuo Zhong realized a problem. It had been dozens of seconds since Pan Ming Capital appeared, but why hadn't the enemy appeared yet?

 Stalking, stalking, focusing on one word, dozens of seconds are enough for a professional intelligence officer to disappear without a trace. Maybe he guessed wrong?

Just when Zuo Zhong suspected that he was overthinking, a young man who looked very "Central Unified" ran into the street, looking furious.

He didn’t run away, and the glorious tradition of Zhongtong was carried out again—losing people again.

 “Vice-seat? What’s wrong?”

He Yijun, who was opposite, was wearing a fashionable British dress today and her makeup was very beautiful. When she saw Zuo Zhong put down his chopsticks, she asked aloud.

 “It’s okay, you eat first.”

Zuo Zhong shook his head and waved to the guard leader who was waiting on the stairs, asking him to bring in the Zhongtong agents outside.

 When the Deputy Director of Military Control goes out, even if there is no ostentation, a dozen guards will always be needed. Apart from performing tasks, wearing a white dragon fish uniform is asking for trouble.

After a while, the little spy who was scolding was "invited" to the private room on the second floor. When he heard that the smiling tiger wanted to see him, he was already thinking about his last words. Who in the Central Command didn't know that this first deputy director of the military command, To say he is a murderer is an understatement.

“Zuo...Zuo deputy director, his humble position is...”

“Okay, no need to introduce yourself, Zhongtong, I can smell the smell of the secret service headquarters on you from across the road.”

Zuo Zhong interrupted the other party and mocked him in a strange way. Then his expression changed and he asked coldly.

"What are you going to do? How dare you spy on me? Do you know that Director Zhu is the principal of Zuo? Last time he arrested our bureau chief, and this time he is targeting me again. Does Xu Enzeng want to rebel?"

After speaking, the majestic Deputy Director Zuo slammed the table in front of him, causing the bowls and chopsticks on the table to clank, and the Central Unification agent was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

"Misunderstanding! You misunderstood! I was ordered to monitor the rebel office in Hongyanzui. A fire broke out nearby at night. Someone broke in while we were fighting the fire. Later, three cars rushed out of the rebel office."

The little spy told the situation truthfully, and he was so scared that he burst into tears. Major General Quan Xu, who was monitoring the government and the deputy director of the Military Command Bureau, would not have dared even if he had given him a hundred courages. It was too scary.

Pan Mingzhi succeeded in breaking into the office to report the news. Zuo Chong secretly smacked his lips. The courage and determination of these old underground workers should not be underestimated.

Listening to the little agent's explanation, Zuo Zhong was shocked in his heart, but on the surface he looked at the other person suspiciously, as if he was thinking about the truth or falsehood of what he said.

Shao Qing, he pointed at the trembling little agent and said to the guard leader: "Take someone to chase after this guy and try to find the traitor."

 “Yes, deputy seat.”

The guard leader is from Gui Youguang's special operations team. He has performed many top-secret missions and is very skilled. What's even more difficult is his bright brain.

As soon as he heard the deputy director say that he was trying his best, he understood that their military commander had always only had tasks that had to be completed. When had there ever been such a vague order? The deputy commander was obviously trying to hold back the central commander.

Seeing that the guard leader had accurately understood what he meant, Zuo Zhong smacked his lips, "That's a good young man. The road is wider. Annan Station happens to be short of a deputy station chief, so he can fill it."

 After sending away the Central Unification agent, Zuo Zhong regained his smile and continued chatting and laughing with He Yijun. His good mood remained until Wu Chunyang appeared in front of him.

“Vice-in-charge, urgent call from Anqing!”

Wu Chunyang wiped his sweat and explained the reason why he came to disturb him. He handed over a telegram in his hand. Zuo Zhong took it and looked at it, and slowly opened his mouth.

The message was sent by Juntong’s business partner, Ozawagawa’s successor, and the commander of the Japanese river fleet stationed in Anqing.

The other party said that in the afternoon, the Japanese Navy received a call from the Shanghai Naval Command, ordering the river fleet to be ready for battle and to "cooperate" with the Japanese army in encircling and suppressing the underground party troops at any time. If necessary, the two armies can coordinate operations.

Damn it, didn't someone say that the encirclement and suppression plan was top secret? It was in the afternoon, and the meeting hadn't even ended yet. What is this, a server-wide announcement?

Zuo Zhong knew that the government kept the secret of the crotch pulling, but it would be too exaggerated to pull the crotch to this extent. Maybe the Japanese spies had received the news before the meeting started.

Now we are in trouble. There are government brothers inside and Japanese troops taking advantage of the situation. The prospects for the underground party's troops in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are not good.

Watching something happen but being unable to do anything about it, it felt so uncomfortable. Zuo Zhong put down the telegram, turned his head and looked eastward and was speechless for a long time.

  (cannot write in depth, can only write in one stroke)

On the other side, Pan Mingzhi walked around the labyrinth-like mountain city for a long time and returned to his home in the slums. The dirty and messy environment in the past seemed particularly kind to him now.

As soon as he entered the door, Joanna walked out of the house and looked at him quietly. Pan Mingzhi nodded solemnly. In an instant, a joyful emotion filled the dilapidated courtyard.
